Stugats, you see yesterday, the AP released their first preseason top 25 poll. Exciting. That's what I'm talking about. So, because the coach's poll came out like last week.

Get the hell out of here. These coaches, they don't know anything. They don't know anything. They don't know anything. right, but the AP poll, that's where it's at. And I'm going to tell you, I really can kind of drop the ball, the AP. Mike? Big poll or not a big poll?

They let us down. They did, right? Average-sized pole. So on Miami opens the season against Notre Dame, that is a top 10 matchup officially. Any other season? That's big game. Any other season, this would be the talk of the town. You got a top 10 matchup to open the season. Week one is loaded.

Week one, you have the Ohio State Buckeyes, reigning defending national champion. hosting the Texas Longhorn. I'm going to be there. Everyone assumed we're coming out the gates week one of the college football season. It's a final league corso headgear of his career. Out the gates, noon, we get number one versus number two. That's what the coaches poll told you. To start the season.

And the AP took that away from us. Screwed it up. He's got to go Brutus, right? Didn't he go Brutus on his first pick ever? He's got to go Brutus. I mean, like, I hate that it's that predictable. He should go Texas. I think you show some guts, all right.

You show some guts, and you go with the longhorn helmets, okay? You're on the road there. You got the sea of people. You got all the Buckeye fans. Everyone expects Brutus. I do something very similar because I host college football tailgate for ESPN Radio. We travel, me and Amber Wilson, we travel the entire country for ESPN Rio campus tour. We're in Columbus, all right, for week number one.

And from the Airstream studio, at the end, we give our picks. And I got the foam fingers, you know. I'm not scared. There'll be a whole crowd of people in front of me. Ful fingers have one finger up. That's right. People love a visual gag on the audio property. That's right.

That's why I do it. And there will be a sea of Buckeye fans in front of me because I don't know if you know the game's in Columbus. But if I want to pick Texas, I'm not giving away who I'm picking yet. I would never give it away. I tell you at the end of the show, all right? But if I want to pick Texas,

I'll pick the road team right in front of your face. You can't be skirt. That's guts. skirt, all right? I got guts. So Corso, I hope he shows some guts if he believes that Texas is going to win, put on that long-horn helmet. Show a little guts. So he had a bunch of options for his final headgear. A lot of people theorize, maybe he's a proud seminal. You got Alabama there. Alabama over there. That's a good one, but it's where it all began. Columbus, Ohio. That's cool. And what would have made things perfect is if it were number one versus number two. But the Associated

Press cares not for our storylines, and they put a team with a quarterback that failed to complete a single pass, a pass to a wide receiver in a big time bowl game. Why is Penn State number two over Texas? Texas opens a season against a national champion. Let's start the season number one versus number two. Here's another question about the polls that make zero sense to me. Who's number one again? The Buckeyes. Is it the Buckeyes? Yeah. I thought it was Texas. No. Oh, no, it's Texas.

Excuse me. It is Texas. Well, then I screwed all of this. No, no, you didn't screw anything up. Who's number one again? It's Texas. Texas. Who's favored in the matchup between Texas and Ohio State?

But then make them number one then. Just go ahead and make Ohio State the number one team if they open at home. But the idea is like if you were on a neutral field, what team's better? Yeah. But it's the preseason. You already know the schedule. Might as well make it make sense. You're going to have the number one team as an underdog in the first.

first game of the season where you're creating these rankings out of thin air, make it make sense. Make the number one team the favorite. So as it turns out, number three is favored over number one. Well, number three is number one, right. Yeah, minus two and a half on that line. I have top five polls if you guys want them. Oh, wow.

Number five, foul pole. Do you ever want to maybe be called a Fair Bowl? No. I mean, the ball hits it's fair. It's not foul. That's a good point. It's a fair point. Do you like when the fair slash foul poles are like a drawing of something?

Like sometimes it's a pencil? No. No? Yeah, I mean neither. What's number four? Morsin Gortat, the Polish Hammer. That's a good one. Number three, Cooper Flagg.

Flagpole, Mike. Thank you. Number two, Bill Pollian. Number two, huh? You thought Lamar Jackson. Number one, a staple. I mean, Dick pole? Ah, yes.

Those are my top five polls. Number one for life. Dick poll. I mean, Penn State screwed it up coming at number two. Does anyone believe Penn State's second best team of the country? Drew Aller's tall. Come on. James Franklin.

He's still there? Come on. It's enough. We all know how this is going to go. Not the biggest story, though, in college football from yesterday. The biggest story is brand-new starting quarterback. QB1 at Oklahoma. John Mateer, who was at Washington State last year, and I was a fan, really fun player to watch. He's now at Oklahoma. He's in hot water because people found his

Venmo transactions, and his Venmo transactions were public at the time, and he had Venmo transactions, two different ones that I saw, one sports gambling, and the other one was sports gambling, USC versus UCLA. Hold on, like, did he put that in the notes? That was, yeah, that was the title of the transaction. This was when John Matier would have been a freshman in college, obviously very much against the rules. Now, Oklahoma has come out and said, they believe that John Mateer has not gambled on sports. This led to a bunch of internet sleuthing in which people were going through other quarterbacks transactions to see if they were public. And some embarrassing stuff was there. Some quarterbacks got wise as soon as this

story broke and deleted all their transactions, set everything to private to make sure that there would be no sleuthing. People, the young generation, and I've never gotten this when it comes to Venmo, I never know, I don't need to know what you're paying for. I don't know, you're a sociopath if you have your Venmo transactions public. It's weird. Sugata's you have your Venmo transactions public. I know. Stop that. I thought you closed it for me. Stop that. But people were going around and I have friends that do this. They like to make the Venmo transaction a joke. You know, they buy around. Yeah, I've done that. Yeah, yeah. Thanks for the drugs, stuff like that.

Right. Sands Contacts, no one knows that you're just Josh and your boys, right? Now, people are going to your transactions, and if you put an ape ball emoji, they're not going to assume billions. What's your worst non-joke, one of those, the one that made you go private? Because I've got one, and I've also got one of a friend who, I'll just say it, because it doesn't matter. It was a couple that got divorced. And it was a very simple divorce settlement, so simple that the payments were made via Venmo. That's a tough way to.

And wait, wait, wait. And it just said one slash 24 of the first. So it clearly had to split it up with it 20. And it's just so funny. It's like watching a reality show on your Venmo. And when that 24th month hit, boy, did I celebrate. Well, I paid attention to it when Signalgate was happening. And then people were starting to go through government officials who didn't know that they didn't have their transaction set to private.

I fix that stuff real quick because I don't need someone prying around any of that independent of whether or not I Josh somebody and make a transaction, you know, that's not actually accurate and just making a joke about it. Stu, you'd appreciate this. What made me go to private is when I first got on to Venmo and I sent Anthony some money. I was on a road trip and when I got back home, and this is like when I first started smoking weed like in my mid-third. 30s. And so I was like, oh, I don't have a device with which to smoke it at home. It broke. And I sent him some money and said, hey, go buy me a little small glass pipe for what I get home. And he responded via text, you know, these are public. And I was like, oh, shit. I learned, you know, I was told, hey, this is public. You should turn this off. Because I didn't know how it worked where I was doing a couple of transactions for like sponsors on my podcast. You know, it's, I don't want anyone to know what I charge and that kind of deal, you know. So I was told, hey, you got to turn it off. They were sending their payments to you via Venmo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, like, again, I don't want everyone to be able to see what I charge for sponsorship.

So what do we believe here, though? I mean, sports gambling, USC, UCLA is pretty specific. He could be joking. That would be the defense because people do tend to joke occasionally with this app. But what kind of investigation are we doing now? Because you can't be gambling if you're a quarter. You can't be gambling if you're a college football. athlete. Don't you have to believe that he is, maybe he's stupid, but don't you have to believe that he is smart enough?

Yeah. Not to joke like that. Because how do these things get found out? It's because a lot of money goes to something suspicious, right? So if you're just putting down regular old bets within a game that you're playing or teams that a lot of people bet on, your only way you're going to get caught really is if you label it in your Venmo transaction. So I don't think he's that dumb. This was research, though. This was apparently when he was a freshman in college. So someone. Do we know what the most? Do we know what the most? money was? Let me see if that was put out there. But I've just seen the string caps of sports gambling, sports gambling, USC, UCLA. That's a great question. As do we care if it is just, it's a $20 bet, $5, $10? No, the reason I ask is because I think that could help help us know if it's real or if it was a joke. Right, because if he was joking around and it was actually for Sodi Pops, you're not spending $500. Correct. But what's a unit guy that wasn't, remember, he just took over for Cam Ward at Washington State.

last year. He wasn't playing at this point. He wasn't getting NIL. But to Izzy's question, if it is real and it's a $25 bet, do we really care? Well, no, we don't care. I don't think any of us individually ever care. But should we? Like, nobody's going to influence the result of, let me rephrase. Most people wouldn't try to influence the result of a bet over $20. Right. You're just doing it. Hey, if I happen to get my, you know, three touchdowns today, I'm going to go home to an extra hundred bucks. Right. I got $12 and $50 for you. Look, every football game is a grind,

I was told this, I think it was like two days ago, two or three days ago, a new feature was, this is a PSA I'm doing right now, all right? Because I'll bet a lot of people listening to watch, they don't know this, I'm going to help you out right now, all right? You don't even need to thank me. I'm doing not the goodness in my own heart where Instagram, apparently, there's a new feature where there's maps where you click on the map and you can see the direct location

your friends on Instagram are currently at a buddy of mine text me a few days goes hey man a new feature came out on Instagram today I'm on it right now and I could see exactly where you are and I went to look at it's like yep that's my home that's where I am so it doesn't matter what you post you know exactly like

if I'm posting a random picture from five months ago and I put on the location hey this is in Italy it's still going to This is a different feature. No, when you click on the direct messages on Instagram, there's a map, and you click on the map, and you could see on it where all, if it's on, you could see where all your friends are located to, like, the foot where they at. You could see their home. Do you want to see that?

Do you want to see that? Do you want your friends knowing exactly where you are? It seems weird. It's creepy. I'm with my kids. This is my home. You know, it's weird. That's what I find weird is the friends, and this is a young thing, the friends that all share their locations all the time.

Like, that's, it's too much. I accidentally share a location with somebody in our hockey chat. And so it's really only two people that I share locations with this, Anthony, and it's this Brightside Mike, and I have no interest in knowing where Brightside Mike is 24 hours of the day. Look at this. Look at Billy and Jeremy are feverishly on their phones right now. Yep, they're trying to turn it off. You should.

I don't know how you do it. I mean, I'll show you, I guess. I'm still trying to log out of Vembo. What? do these apps do that? Why would they think that I want everyone to know literally where I am? Not the city where I am, but my home. I understand that question. I mean, Instagram is often used. The most common application is users telling the world where they are. But not to the address. Not to the address, but people tag. I mean, you can find out exactly where

the Clips concert is tonight. Look at everyone there, Stu Gotts. They're like, They're all feverish. I'm trying so hard to find it. Like, it has to be somewhere in here. Right, but there's a new location within settings. I just ask Taylor to do it. Right, but there are sometimes where people want to actually post that, then they have to, where they are.

You know how you can geotag certain places if you're at a bar or something like that? Did you click on the globe there, Chris? Yes, I just got it. You go to the messages up top. You click on, see right there, right there, I can show for people looking on the screen there. See, you got the people here, and you click on the globe, which says map. And then on the top right, you click on that. that little settings thing, and you could turn your specific location off.

But, like, I'm looking at it right now, and I'm looking at the map of the country, and it's like, there's a bunch of people, look at it. There's a bunch of people just in Florida. Look at it right there. I could see where they are. Yeah, I don't like it. I could see where these people are located right now in the state of Florida. It's kind of shady.

This is really upsetting. Right? Yeah, I'm not happy about this at all. My buddy, I text in Bagel, good looking out. Because I don't know about this kind of stuff. And it came out, and then I looked online. I was like, you know, how do you turn it off? And it said, you know, today, whatever was, like August 6th, a new feature came out on Instagram.

I was like, holy shit. I also appreciate you waiting until we're not on the live show to tell us all of this. Oh, that was good looking out by me too, right? Well done. To give us all plenty of time to turn the setting off after the show. Cool. It won't get published right away. And that way nobody's going to have to do with the good question.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty simple. Take care of mine. And you could see all the people who you could see, I don't know, like ex-girlfriends or something. Where is this globe you speak up? It's the top of your DMs. Turn off. So it's so people can't find out where Taylor is.

Where it shows note. Here. Here. Can you help me out? Yeah, yeah. Help my brother out. Dazzal, let's go. All right.

Where's your Instagram? Where's my Instagram? I think here it is. All right, here it says Matt. No, no, no. Click on. Go down. His direct messages.

Yep. There you go. Very helpful. Hmm. Stugats, you may have like a super old version of Instagram. I don't think you have the map. Great. All right.

I think you're okay, play. Yeah. It's a really old version I think you're all right You don't use that very often Did you call me player? Yeah, of course We're out, you know

There you go All right, so I'm glad I was able to help you guys There you have I am currently not sharing my location Never was but thank you for the freak out moments It's okay Well I mean I was sharing my location When I was told that was not cool

All of a sudden someone shows up to my door Hey Zaslow I know where you live now Because of Instagram Screw that man Jeremy Look my Stugas Look how confused. He's really upset. I'm trying to help Mike Ryan right now, but he has a slightly outdated version of Instagram.

So I'm trying to figure out how it is. Is that the key? Oh, there you are. No, there is that the key? Hold on. Let's see. Let's see. I can help you from here. All right. So we're going to swipe up here on this. Now you're at Matt. I did a good thing, though, I believe.

When you're not here on the map. I mean, a good thing. Bad radio, perhaps. Good news. What are you talking about? This is fantastic. It's very informative. There's people at home.

Hopefully they're not driving and trying to listen to this and trying to adjust their phone. There are people are driving freaking out now. They want to turn this. Yeah, but as well, yours was still on. Yeah. I know exactly where Brian the Beast London is right now. Get at where. But that's the thing is you share your location with an app like this because, hey, if you're

trying to post like, hey, I was at, for example, if I'll post something from a Marlins game, hey, I'm at Lone Depot Park. And so I'm adding that location and Instagram, I'm going to be like, oh, can we access your location? And you might say yes, because you want to make sure you're clicking on the right thing there. And then all of a sudden, your location is part of this app, not thinking that all of a sudden, every single person that follows you is going to have an opportunity to see, to the pinpoint of the address, where you are within the building. It's horrifying.

Wow, Bradside Mike is in Canada. Niagara Falls. We actually don't know which one. We're all done. Glad I was able to help you guys. Let me take your mind off of this very troubling situation. Jeremy, we did a top five yesterday. Mike Ryan did a top five yesterday of greatest movie.

opening scenes. You have... Cliffhanger. You have all that's a good one. What happened? It wasn't on there? No. I just assumed it was on there for you. Honestly, it should have cracked at the top of them. I made a mistake. You're absolutely right. When you hear the name cliffhanger, you don't

think great opening scene. Yes, that's what made the most strange. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Greatest opening scene. I tend to think of a great cliffhanger, but maybe that's just me. The final 90 minutes awful, though. Not stop being so literal. But Jeremy has his own version. Tell us what it is. It's the top five animated movie opening scenes because mentioned in Mike's was up,

which is all time. Profoundly sad. Truly one of the sadest things I've ever seen. And I've realized in going through this, a lot more of them are sad than are necessarily uplifting. No OLIs. So starting with number five, Tarzan. In Tarzan, you see both the guerrilla families

and Tarzan's family go through a similar feeling of loss but what it does is it introduces you to Phil Collins on the soundtrack and that's the most important part is you hear one of these songs and you're like oh we're off to an unbelievable start number four and this is tied four

because it comes from the same series Shrek and Shrek 2 is that when he's bathing the first one is when he's bathing and you're getting the title sequence and he's like spinning out mud and all of it says Mike Myers and then

Everybody just told me. That's what you get. And then you get accidentally in love by the counting crows to start Shrek 2 during their honeymoon sequence. Oh, my God. Accidentally in love. Very underrated song. Number three, the Lion King. Of course.

It's a classic. Yep, that note. Let's go for it. I don't want to finish it. I don't want to go all out. Number two, this is another wholly depressing one. Finding Nemo. Disney writers huge on.

death. Yeah, you got to kill somebody right at the beginning. Normally, it's a parent. Oh, that's right. The mother dies. The mother dies. The beginning of finding Nemo. Yep. And by the way, all of the kids outside of Nemo, remember, there's an attack from what I think is a barracuda, if I look back at it. That's right. The body count on that one was huge. I mean, it's near 100. Was Bambi's mom dying the first scene? I don't know if

that's the opening scene, which is why I didn't include it. It would have been a good one. And then, of course, number one is up. I mean, there's no debate. I know it was in the spirit of the top five. and that was already there, but it has to be number one. Four of the five that you gave there are super sad. Yeah, no, most of them are, I came to realize. As I was going through my list, I was realizing almost every single animated movie starts with tragedy. Getting a good look into Jeremy here.

What about the Lego movie? Didn't they do the everything is awesome at the very beginning? That's the best. Nah, but come on, let's be real. Which ones are better? All right, so we brought out the big guns today when we heard that Taylor Swift is going to be on the New Heights podcast. That's why Stugats is here. He made the drive, and Stugats is with us.

But I'll be perfectly honest with you. I don't know what the hell is going on with this Taylor Swift. Like, can somebody explain to me what the whole to do was last night? So she's going to be on this Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey podcast. And, like, it came out. It put out a teaser. But it came out like 12, 12 a.m. on 812, which is today. That's right.

There's some kind of nonsense like that, right? Oh, it's a 12th album. That's what that's all about. She's really into teasing everything with numbers. So her number is 13. I believe her birthday is on the 13th. That's always everything is tied together. You end up in the Taylor Swift algorithm

and you grow to learn that there is no greater... My algorithm is all boobs. I got to tell you. It's a big deal. So she's announcing seemingly a new album on this podcast. My assumption is that She'll be revealing all of the details of it Everyone is very excited

Because they got the color scheme Of what this album will be I believe it's called The Life of a Showgirl That's exciting to people And for yeah hey look Taylor Swift fans dive into Every single detail I've already seen people

Discussing that the colors Of the album seem to be The way that copper begins versus where it gets when it's oxidized and thus to show that it's the wearing of a career. Can you hear my eyes rolling? No, look, I sort of feel the same way. And at this point, like, I told you, I ended up in the Taylor Swift algorithm because I like Taylor Swift's music. Like, I do like her music.

I'm a little, I'm intrigued to see what this album is because at this point, I am not nearly as in on all things Taylor Swift as I, I once was. Go on. You know, I wouldn't say it, but I think some people would say that it feels like over the last few years, some of what she's been doing has felt like a cash grab. You know, I wouldn't say it, but it sort of feels like if you knew you were negotiating for the rights to be your own masters to come back, that putting out the Taylor's version and constantly making people pay money to access your music early, only to release it later,

and then release really long albums so that you could sort of gain how the streaming processes work to move your way up the charts. Some people would say that that's, you know, maybe an issue. But you're not saying. I'm not saying. Some people.

Let me add this. This Kelsey Potscate, what's it called? New Heights. New Heights. I have a little bit of a rivalry with New Heights because I was up for, I forget the podcast award, one of the potties. And it was a sports podcast

for by four years of Heat Podcast. And they were in the same, category, and of course they want it. And of course they're going to win every damn sports podcast award because they have Taylor Swift on the podcast. Stick to sports people. If you're going to do the Taylor Swift thing, an entirely different category. Pop music podcast, fine. But if this thing wins another sports podcast for having Taylor Swift on there, it's cheating. I'm going to bring every single record for podcast downloads. It's like ever existed. Not a sports podcast. She's going to be announcing details of her new album on there. And some people would say,

that going on the New Heights podcast, which is your boyfriend's podcast and, you know, using that as an opportunity to get them some more downloads. Some people would say that that just plays into all of the very capitalistic nature of what she's been doing over the last few years and that even the artistry has potentially suffered because when you're releasing these really long albums that don't really seem to have any editing there to sort of pair things down and make sure you're getting the best 12 or 13 songs. Well, some people would say that that's just the cash grab that was being intimated before. would never. I would never say that. There's nothing wrong with anything that Taylor Swift ever

does. But some people would say that, you know, when Zaz said go on, I didn't think he mean this long. Right. Was Jaws on Mike's list? Jaws? Do you think that your family would get a lot of joy? Oh, I for Jaws. That was Jeremy lamenting the lack of an editor, I believe. I am literally this show's editor. So that's the problem. It sounds to me like everybody could use a hug because a hug is always the right size. Stugats. All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and an entire cup of honey. Don't let him fool you.

He said in the break that he's jittery. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. I couldn't name you four Taylor Swift songs. Oh, shut up. You could. There's no way. Yeah, but if they played, you would know this song. You would recognize them, but he doesn't know the titles.

No, but if they played, you would know what they would. You look guilty as sin right now. If they played that, like, if they played the song, would I know it's Taylor Swift? No, like if, no, no, no. Like, if they played the Taylor's song, I'd be like, I know that song. Right. You don't know it's her. It's not the name of the song.

I don't know. Maybe, maybe like five. When you try to think of when a blank space goes into your head. I mean, I know shake it off. You don't, like, participate in society? You're just not going to come across. I have the music that I like. I have the music that I like and I listen to.

A little PJ. Yeah, give me that 90s grunge. Pearl Jam, Alice and Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana. What else do I need? Give me Zeppelin. You almost forgot the In Chains part. Well, I didn't want it to. I was going to say Alice, you know, but I don't want it to go over.

I don't want it to go over your head. Like, I want to be inclusive. If I just say Alice, it's kind of exclusive. I don't want to give all that impression. Did you ever think that they were called Allison Chains? I did. I saw a sad project being advertised at a local casino recently. The Joe Perry Project.

Oh, he's done that. That seems fun. Oh, he's done it before? My bad. Yeah, I think he's been doing that for a while. I just saw it as, oh, Stephen Tyler doesn't want to do it anymore. So now we're calling it the Joe Perry Project. It's just a funny type of thing.

I think they're coming to hold. Hard Rock Live, right? Yeah, that's the casino that I wasn't saying. Do you think they play Aerosmith songs? I don't know. It has another, and then at the bottom, it's like, with this guy from Aerosmith and this guy from, what was the band? Aerosmith.

The Black Keys or something or the Crows, some other guy. Keys, crows. Hasby Crows. Keys are just two dudes. I'd really eat into the Black Keys lineup. All right, so is Taylor Swift thing is happening tonight or it's tomorrow? seemingly tomorrow, where she's going to go, right, the 13th, as I was mentioning, 13, of course, her number. Look, it seems, this is going to be a big deal. And it seems like she's working with

some of the producers that made some of her, like, biggest hits from several years ago in, and Max Martin and Shelback. And Max Martin's been making hits for years and years and years and years. One of the greatest producers. Basically, all the music from the late 90s, early 2000s that we were talking about with the boy bands, you know, a few weeks ago. He's, he's, been the producer on that and then everything since. Still out there. It's been a long time since they've made music together. She's primarily worked with Aaron Deziner of the National and Jack

Antonoff. Oh, thank God. We got away from him. And so they've made great music together but at this point, I think she wants to go back. If you look at the life of a showgirl or whatever, they're calling it. All right. This is just me talking. I think you're driving Zaz out of here. I'm calling

it on the Taylor Swift stuff, guys. Bye, Zaz. Love you too. That's actually a good plan. Zaz's plan to say, hey, let me pitch something to Jeremy, he'll work out the clock and I can just go home right now. Right, no one will notice. Jeremy, how much more did you have left on that? Nothing. Please don't.

Just, no, I don't want it. I just want to know how much more you had left. Not much. Probably two sentences. That's normally how it goes. Dick fool. Thank you. Is there any chance that Travis proposes to Taylor Swift? On the pot. I wonder if it's actually already happened and there would be

a reveal on the pond. That would be the least romantic way it ever happened. Worst in a stadium? That would be worse than a stadium. I don't think so. If he does it at a stadium, it's a game after a game on a field. It's not like he's doing it at a stadium during, you know,

the Panthers. But if he did it, I think that would be better. If he did it at a Panthers game, like the camera goes to him and gets down on money, then doing it on his podcast. He's not the only one that plays stadiums. I mean, I think that proposing on a podcast to me, I'm not saying it's a great way of doing it,

but proposing at a hockey game is the worst way of doing it. I think. I thought he was saying at one of his games, which I would be like, well, if I'm the coach, I'm not happy about that. Like, Travis, you seem a little distracted. You're about to, like, propose at the commercial break in the second quarter. But you're saying at a different sporting event. Well, Mike was saying at her concert, essentially. I mean, whatever happened to doing this in an Olive Garden?

You know, make a reservation. You play a little secret game with a matri d. Right. You know. Maybe put the ring on top of one of the breadsticks as they come in. You have to put it in the breadsticks. That was a class... No.

What? Inside the breadstick? That happened... On modern family, that happened next to Cam and Mitchell, and it did not go well. You know, I barely spoke today. But when you did... You really spoke. But when you did...

Sitting near? It lingered. Did not feel that way. What did you want to talk about that we didn't get to? It's not Taylor Swift related. It's a big week for the Marlins, huh? Yeah. I'll talk to Billy about that.

You're doing something online, right? Yeah, I'll be on a pod. so is it a live watch along or I think so based on how it was so presented I wasn't sure I know that they didn't perform well. Mike seems to know more than Billy does. I was asking. I'm not the one on the podcast. Yeah.

All right. So where are the Marlins now? Because I follow it through you guys. I know that they had that huge series, one of the bigger regular season series in their franchise history. They swept the Yankees. And then they had an opportunity to keep the moment when I'm going against the Astros. They did not. So why is it a big week for the Marlins now?

Are they still in contention? Well, they had a very bad series against the Braves. Five games series against the Braves lost four out of five. They're a five game series, huh? Yeah. So they have now a. series against the Guardians. Guardians are hot now.

You don't want to be facing the Guardians right now. Then they have another series right after that against the Red Sox. And then they have the Cardinals and they have the Blue Jays and they have the Braves again. Seems like a tough stretch. Yeah, what I was saying yesterday and I don't think Jeremy agrees with me on this is I said, a nice run for the Marlins, but this week seems like the end of the road in terms of the playoff chances. Maybe not, but maybe so. because they went from getting right back to 500 from being 16 games under 500

to back to four games under 500 again. I wouldn't disagree with you on that. This is a huge week for them. They have six games against two of the better teams in baseball right now in terms of the guardians and the Red Sox. And if they can come out of that, basically with a 500 record for the week, you'd feel pretty good. They lost four out of five to the Braves from Thursday to Sunday.

And they remained six games back at the Mets. They didn't lose any ground for that. final wild card spot because the Mets have been falling apart on their own. One of the teams ahead of them in the wild card is the St. Louis Cardinals, who they'll get in their first series back at home after the Red Sox and the Guardian. So if they can find a way to play some good baseball this week, they're in the position where, hey, it went about as poorly as you could have imagined after that huge win against the Yankees by losing two out of three against the Astros and losing four out of five

against the Braves. But they lost no ground from where they were at the start of the week. And with six games back and seven games to go against the match. They did it against, too. They have a chance. It took the wheel. It seems like Billy is saying the season is over and Jeremy wants to agree with him, but he's not agreeing with them. Well, I mean, the thing is, is am I the reporter for the nine games at home after this stretch?

Yes. Do I want people to watch? Yeah. I mean, it's been a great run. You should support the team. But realistically, it's incredible that they got back to 500 when being 16. games under 500. But like if you're going to actually make the playoffs, you've got to be like 10 or more games over 500 probably. And to get there, you'd have to play 26 games over 500 to get

to that point where it's... Which is not happening. Well, yeah. I mean, what they've done has been very impressive. However, it seems like, you know, you win a couple, you lose a couple, you're just then hovering around 500, which ultimately won't be enough probably to get into the playoffs. So it's not to discount what they've done so far. It was an incredible. run. They just got off to such a bad start that they kind of shot themselves in the foot. Also, was the Yankee thing a bit of fools-cold because they are not playing well?

No, I mean, it's it's a chippy team that fights back. They're in every game. The Yankees are struggling right now. They had a horrific start to their newly acquired closer who, like, pooped all over the bed. But, you know, maybe the Marlins get hot here, but

even if they go, what would you have to do to get back to 500? In the next six games, they go four and two, You'd be 200. They're at 500. Yeah, there's still... Yeah, no, two games below, 500, right? Yeah. I did math.

You'd have to go 5 and 1 to get back to 500 before they get all. So close. You were almost with me, too. I didn't have math. Ah, who cares anymore? I corrected it quickly, though. It's football season, baby. Everyone's O and O.

So much easier with the records, you know? Oh, so, so easy. Yes. That tricky 17th game sometimes. I forget about it. Right. It really changed. Although it made, you know, Friday, I celebrated Jeff Fisher Day.

Did you? because it was 8 and 8. We're not making Jeff Fischer's anymore. He's got that all to himself. Well, Mike Tomlin. You can't go 8 and 8 anymore. You can't go 8 and 1. Right.

But you can't go 8 in 8 anymore. That's going to be Jeff Fisher's forever. You know, you always got to ask an 8 and 8 baby if they were born in 88 because then it might be the most special person ever. Really? You have to ask? You have to. I mean, what's the next question when you say, what's your birthday, August 8th?

Of course. When they say 94, you're kind of like, loser? That does nothing for me. Are you guys believing in the Brewers again? You know, I've been thinking about this a lot. This franchise is a joke. I'm glad that you ask. Danilo Gallinare, born on 888.

Oh, he's the one. He's the one. You ever talk to him? You ever ask him that question? Did you know he was a former number one pick in the draft? Jeremy, do you believe in the Brewers? Sure. What about the Brookworth?

That was tight, Jeremy.
