Okay, I'm glad you said that, all right? It's consuming my life, all right? It's all I was able to think about. all day yesterday, all right? I need this out of my life. I need to know how we are going to score this, Israel. I got a question for Chris, because if you go strike, strike nine, and you finish it off with a spare, the nine doesn't matter.

Great question. Okay, great question. I guess you're right, because when you get a strike, it's the following two shots. That's right. So you're right. All right. Great question. So I couldn't sleep last night.

I was laying awake. I'm staring at the ceiling, all right? You should have just imagined your son ran away. You would have slept like a baby. I'm losing sleep over this. This is, this is, it's it. We need to figure this out, all right? So yesterday I was very confident, Israel, that I can score by hand.

And here's where I got confused. So I'm glad you brought this up. Here's where I got confused. Because the scenario that you gave me to figure out how to score bowling by hand. First four frames come up with the score. strike, strike, spare, 4-3 open frame. Then people were messaging on Twitter like Zazlo. You got to know what the first role was in the third frame with the spare.

Like, no, you don't because you're working off a strike. And a strike, you get the entire frame. That's where I screwed up because the strike, okay, you get the whole next frame, but we were working off of two strikes here. So you do need to know Israel, the first. roll in the third frame where you get a spare. Because what happens when you get a strike, Mike, you get the next, not just the next frame necessarily, you get the next two rolls.

And so if you get a strike, all right, that's one rule. So the first shot in the next frame, which was a spare, you get that for the bonus points also. That's where I screwed up. Now, what do I have to do to have a bowling ball assassinate a pin that looks like JFK? You got to go back to Don Carter Bowling Lanes. All right. I didn't bring out another one.

I didn't bring out another one, by the way. I'm going to keep that one in the wraps. Way too soon. There's another one. I mean, that was crazy. It really was. If that was today, if Don Carter Bowling Lanes had on the Videotron, a bowling ball, which posed as a sniper in a building and killed in a motorcade, a pin which had the face of

John F. Kennedy Jr., and the one now. Next to it had the face of Jackie O'Assson. A drawn-in face. She didn't have the face. Yeah, she had the little. It was like a smile. She had the deal she was wearing. You knew it's Jackie.

Yeah, but we needed the face for JFK. It wasn't, it wasn't insinuated strong enough that that was a JFK. It's kind of like the South Park treatment of Donald Trump where it's a bigger deal. If they put your face on it instead of animate it, well, they put his face on the JFK pin. You're so right. The face on the other one. You're so right about that because when the South Park, you know, Trump premiere was a couple of weeks ago, it was shocking when

Trump turned around in the chair and it was his face. Hey, relax. And you got the penis and everything. So, all right. So here, there it is. Oh, my goodness. There it is.

Look at that bowling animation from Don Cotter bowling lanes apparently in the 90s. If that was today, that's on the national news. Of course. And the one that Tony has hidden is worse than that somehow.

So the one that Tony has hidden, I just want to hint because I kind of already figured out, but I want to know just did come up when you have, like, the difficult split, whether there's the two. Oh, yeah. Is that when it comes up?

It's a spare. Right. So when you hit, oh, any spare. It's a spare animation. That was obviously the JFK one. Again, 30 years removed. You'd figure, you know. Figure we're over it.

There's a little bit of, like, a runway there that you could have. Sean McDermott loves that animation. A second bowling ball has hit the pins. Bowling loves historic events. We'll just put it that way. All right. You ready? So let's do this.

All right. Once and for all, let's do this. Strike. strike. Now you gave me spare, Chris. What's the first roll? It was a nine spare. Nine spare. Very important. And then fourth frame, a four, and then a three.

All right. Here we go. Here we go. Everybody ready? We're following along. We're doing this as a team. All right. So since we got a nine in that third frame, you're going to add a bonus of 19 to the first frame, which gives you in the first frame. Everybody say at the same time, 29.

That's right. Right. Now, what's the second frame going to be? Okay, well, we got a spare in that third frame. So add that bonus on right there. That's going to be 20, so it's going to be for a score of 49. Chris was about to say 39. I saw that. Okay, you're already losing at this game. And then to figure out the score of the third frame, you got a four in the fourth frame working off of a spare at a bonus of four. That equals 63. And then Israel, this one's easy. You don't even need to have your abacus. Add 7 to 63, and your score in the fourth frame is... You're still doing the abacus joke, huh? 70.

70. It's a good joke, man. 70. And that right there, use whatever online bowling calculator genitals you want. Your score after those four frames is savage. Stupid-ass game. Does this or does this not confirm what I told you before is when we were younger, we were pretty much guessing. And at the end of the game, it was like, I think you won. But if it was

like a one or two point game, there's no chance that was correct. That's a stupid ass game. Now, is... I saw him the other deck. Is that stupider or is the way they keep scoring tennis stupider? Uh, tennis. Come on. Tennis is, that's a great point. Let's do this. Dumbest sports in terms of scoring. It has to be tennis. I mean, golf made up words. I read that recently as the reason as to why they have those numbers. And it made more sense at the time. It just didn't stick. I kind of forgot.

They're like this first point. Let's go with 15. What was wrong with one? What is the reason? Explain it? I'm very curious. You guys have a little conversation. I'll look it up.

The second point. The second point is 30. What was wrong with two? All right. We're cooking with 15s here. So the next one has to be. Right, right. No, no, no.

No, no. We're going 40. Wait, but why wouldn't it be 45? I'm annoyed. And then. if it's tied. Okay, we're going to call this deuce.

Deuce I actually like. I like the love too. I like love and I like deuce. But the 15, 30, 40, what are we doing there? Explain that. There's a couple theories. There's the clock face theory. In the early days of tennis-like games,

the clock face was sometimes used to track scores. But that would be 45. Each point would be, I'm not done yet. Each point would move the minute hand quarter all the way 15, 30, 45. The 45 was later short. to 40 to allow for deuce and advantage where players need to win two consecutive points from a score of 40-40 to win the game. There's another theory. This one's French-related. It's based on the scoring system evolving from a French game,

Ju de Paum, where players would move forward on a court a certain distance with each point, eventually leading to the 15, 30, and 40 scoring system. The term love for zero is believed to have originated from the French word luf, egg, which resembles the shape of a zero. fun or stupid so french shit basically stupid Jeremy good to see you today you weren't here yesterday you got some observations from yesterday's show yeah I do I watch along the show every day that I'm not here and I'm constantly sitting there by myself going why did they say that so I do have a top five here of just sort of observations like out of context why did they say that or like you're going to tell us why they said that and be like why the hell did you say that combination of both sorry Chris started making fun of my voice and I got distracted.

Number five, intimating that workplace equality has been fixed when the first question we asked Jessica, who's not a Taylor Swift fan, was about Taylor Swift. I'll take full credit or blame for that. In our defense, she said she wanted to talk about it before that. Number four. That's what I thought. And then I started off about Jessica, you're a good person to ask this. Yeah, your setup wasn't great, but she did want to talk about it. Listening to Mike say that developing handshakes was a really important trait

and why Carson Beck would be the number one pick. It is kind of important. I actually buy that. That's team chemistry. That's like the vibes. You know the opposite of team chemistry? Look at that posture from Mike as he listens to Jeremy's top five list. I'm just saying we dunk on me for the power of friendship.

It's basically the same thing. I'm saying this person's telling us how to do our jobs. He's the only person that set a slur in the microphone this weekend. Number three. The reaction to a great young player existing for the Marlins being, when are we trading him? That joke's tired, right? It's just a tired joke at this point.

I mean, come on. Pay attention to this group. Have you put out a NOTSAP apology to the Irish? Number two, saying sometimes cops can be wrong. A little more than sometimes. And number one. Hold on, hold on. A quote.

Hold on. So if we go 50-50 on sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. What's the... A little more than sometimes. 75%? What do I save them? Mostly. Show me your formula.

Show me your data. I feel like that's a made-up. A majority of the time. There's got a lot of data. It's a totally made-up sad. You know who else makes up stats? The cops. Number one.

I think it's 50-50. Either they're right or they're wrong. That's 50-50. Hearing the quote, I'm not cancer-shaming, but. That's just an amazing way. Was that Terry Jones? I'm listening. Contextually, if it was Jerry Jones, then I guess it's okay. Let's play on. Yeah, I'm not cancer shaming. However, and that was David Samson speaking about Jerry Jones.

So Jeremy hates the cops and the Irish. And cancer patients. If you're an Irish cop, look out. I mean, he has a camp, too. It's crazy. Look, every football game is a grind.

Don Lebatard. Sugar daddies. These things, I'm telling you. I love sugar daddies. They get stuck in your teeth. Like, you can't chew them. They're like impossible to chew. They're impossible to chew.

Stugats. Hell yeah, brother. This is the Dan Lebatar show with a Stugats. Can we just stop for a moment and acknowledge that I'm in here with the freaking gun show? I mean, what is going on? Look at Israel. He knew what he was doing today. I mean...

He's oiled up too. He's oiled up. I don't think he is. That's just a lighting. I'm right next to him. Buddy is shiny. All right. He is oiled up.

Look, in all kinds of jacked. Why didn't you dress like this when we went on our matinee movie dates? You didn't ask me to, babe. Honolulu Blue is kind of running out of my closet. And I have this T-shirt, which I don't even feel like I qualify to wear. I am not two C's thick. Like, I'm a little kicked out, but I'm certainly not two C's thick.

And, yeah, I just had no choice because everything else is dirty, so I'm running out of Hot a Little Blue. Now, the two C's thick, that's on Israel's shirt, for those of you who are not watching. The two C's thick, that's a good kind of thick, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Is there a bad kind? Well, yeah. Yeah, there is. Like, your health is in danger. Yeah. He's talking more pog. Yeah.

If you're talking arteries, like, thick is not good. But when you're talking, you know, body. I think thick is good. I would think a thick artery, there's more room for the blood to flow. No, but it's like your artery is so stuffed up with like thick stuff that's not good. You want

blood flowing through the artery. Not stuffed with thick stuff that's stopping the mainstream. Yeah, I know man, that's what I'm saying right there. Especially the feet. That's what the big dog says. There was a practice update. Yeah, man. Dolphins clapped back, Izzy. Did they though? This

is what kind of drove me crazy yesterday. Like, we did the whole thing, and, you know, social posted it here, and we talked about how bad the practice was for the dolphins and how I'm pretty sure they're going to have a terrible season. But it wasn't just based off of that. It wasn't. It wasn't because my experience with the dolphins is based on 40 years, right? It's not based on that. And when the dolphins had a strong beginning of the second joint practice, people are like, what do you think now? How about now? Way to overreact to one practice. Look, I'm not overreacting to one practice. I'm properly reacting to years and years of dolphins' mediocrity and frankly just kind of being terrible sometimes. And that's the path that they're going down.

If we put those two practices as one, dolphins are a second half team. No, no, no, no, no. Because they were only good for like the first half of the second practice. Good third quarter team. Right. So they're going to lose 27 to six and score those six points in the third quarter. Opposite of the heat. Because the lions started off poorly, but then they just picked it up. And then by the end of it, they had a goal line situation in 11-on-11s where they scored three consecutive times. Hell yeah.

And then when they went to 11-on-11s, back at the 50-yard line, very first play, 50-yard touchdown to Jameson Williams. Damn. It's just, Williams or Williamson. It is just... Williams? It doesn't matter. It's the same exact dolphins. They just got a little bit better because the defense got a little bit heated after, getting toasted the day before, but then the lions were right back at it, and they looked

fine. No one's over. Yes, so apparently yesterday in the second joint practice, the dolphins looked significantly better than they did the day before. It was all, oh, they took it personally. You know, like Bradley Chubbs said after the practice. We didn't like the way, you know, Wednesday went. We took it personally, and we wanted to show them we're going to get back to dolphin football.

Okay, fine. So apparently they did look better yesterday, and some reports, I said, saw said they even won yesterday's joint practice session with the lions what is dolphin football i don't know i don't know were they fast what is their identity i know what they're aspiring to be which is run counterculture to preconceived notions well they lost Alexander madison for the season oh so what they've never had it they've literally never had no no but my point is just that they don't have the uh on the bigger back right so it's still Achan and Achan has been the best back in these two. He was the only really

good portion of the offense in the first practice between the two teams because of his speed, because you get him out of the space. So they've got a good situation there but they need something else to balance that out. They need the thunder with the lightning if they're going to be a running team and when you have Tyree Kill, you shouldn't

really be a running team. So the running game is just a little confusing. Just find any other play on that goal line than the corner fade to Tyree Kill. I hate that shit so annoying. And he's not even big. Like St. Brown had one of those, and this is one.

It ended up being an incompletion, but it was a great pass and a great route, and he beat the corner. He just went for a one-handed catch and didn't catch it. I think he went for the crowd reaction. So it would have been an even worse series or would have been an even worse day for the dolphins. But I would say if you look at by the end of the day, I don't think the dolphins won that second joint practice. I think there was a double overreaction yesterday. because you had an overreaction to what was believed to be our overreaction of the dolphins being terrible the first day of joint practice. Meaning, nobody was overreacting to the dolphins looking horrendous in Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions.

This is based off of, and I'm not even going to go what you're talking about Israel, which has the last 20 plus years. I'm just talking about what we've seen over the last year. and this off-season and this training camp and leading up to this week. So there was like an overreaction to the overreaction. No one here is overreacting to the Dolphins' lousy play against the Lions. It's all of it. It's Jalen Ramsey talking about the coach. It's we're back.

Mike McDaniel's going into his fourth year with the team, and we're talking about culture, fourth year? And we're talking about culture? It's Tyreek Hill. The very first day that he speaks, he's talking about need to be a leader. and then Tua's like, yeah, we don't know if we trust you anymore. And it's the same stuff happening last week with the Bears,

and the Bears saying, I don't think that team practice as well. It's not about Wednesday against the Detroit Lions. It's all encompassing, which is why I think, like if I would ask you, Israel, better chance Dolphins win 12 games this year or they win four games this year. It's a way better chance that they win four games. They might get off to a decent start and have some sort of false hope there, but I think the proof will be in the scores and just how they win. They might win a couple of games like 18, 15, or something like that.

But I just don't think there's a chance. They go double figure wins. They surprise people. Like, they just keep losing pieces all this time. And you're just like, where are the quality replacements for those guys? I'm not sure. Like, I'm not going to sit here and tell you. I think they're only going to win four games.

But if you gave me the choice, I have to pick 12 wins or four wins. I'm definitely going better chance four wins. Are we still on the Lions? It's just a good song. If it's lions and dolphins practice, I think it's fair to keep the Lions music. I mean, we went from Dolphins practice and Dolphins takes. He referenced Wednesday, though. We're still good.

Anyone watching Wednesday the show? Anyone? I got a little boring for me. Real quick Lions update. The biggest thing in the news, Jared Goff was named drop during the Taylor Swift interview on the New Heights. And apparently that blew his phone up. He didn't really say much about it just that it was a big day for him. Because Taylor admitted that when she first started dating Travis, she thought that, like, she, because like, when she first met him, she's like, oh, so you and your brother play against each other on the field.

What's that like? And he's like, oh, no, it's offense versus offense. There's no way she would never be. She claims that she didn't know position. She didn't know what a first down was. And now she's, like, talking about coverages. She's like, now I know cover two and man. No, I understand that maybe she doesn't know the rules, doesn't know how first downs work.

I get that. but she didn't know that there's offense and defense in football. She was just like everyone's on the court. Like, yeah, they play offense and defense, but yeah, they don't leave the field. And then they were like, that would be crazy. Jared Goff play a defense. If you watch basketball, right, and you play both sides of the ball. If you don't really watch much football, you might think.

I think it was Jared Goff and Josh Allen was what her example was. Like, oh, I just thought they went up against each other. My takeaway is maybe mixing the medium brown. Too much dark brown. We're not in fall. yet either. What about the lions on Thanksgiving? Don't they sometimes wear the brown? They got like that alternate brown uniform, right? The lions? It just accentuates the entrades, which are a creeping. Do you know who he's

talking about? No. I'm faking it though, man. Just trying to keep on. Travis Kelsey. I don't know if you were in the Just for Men chat, but you were proudly Just for Men agnostic. Hold on a second. There's a Just for Men chat. There's a chat for everything. There's a chat for everything, pal. Hand chat, Just for Men. I could literally say anything here this. Chat. Just name something. Ham sandwiches. There is a sandwich chat. There's a meat chat too. Which that could go in either one.

Yeah. Wow. I'm confused by the Justfer Men chat. It's strictly hair talk? It's calling out people that have done stuff. I need in that sandwich chat by the way. Teeth also canon for Just for Me. That's what you mean by done stuff. Like if I see somebody on TV that I think is, you know, maybe dipping into the dark brown. That could be taken a different way.

Like Colin did. But, yeah, like Colin. Like, you remember Colin Coward's initial FS1 promo shots? That was crazy. Yeah, like that, that'll get it shared. It wasn't just promo shots. He did the show like that. Yeah.

For like a week. Yeah. Well, that's because it, like, it takes a while, yeah. It grew out. That was crazy. I'm pretty sure now we're not allowed to put that color in our foods anymore. So, oh, is anyone like me in this regard to... Is this still lions?

All right, I'll turn it off. Don Libotard. 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 Is anyone like me in this regard To dolphins fandom Where I'm a dolphin fan Obviously my whole life

But I don't get emotional about it anymore I don't lose sleep over it. When I was a teenager, man, if the Dolphins lost, you can't talk to me about the game until Wednesday. They didn't get you back a couple years ago when we were good for like a year? I don't think there's anything to get me back for, meaning... You probably would have said that about the Panthers at one point, though, no? And they got you back.

That wasn't the same. No, it's not the same because my... Like, I never had... There was never anything to get emotional about with the Panthers. They were always shitty, you know? Okay, so yes, I get you. The Dolphins had you here. The Panthers never had you up there before.

Right, right. And like I wanted to get to that place. And finally, after 30 years, I'm in that place. So not the Game 7 lost to New Jersey, not the Lost of the Islanders? I was very upset. Well, I wasn't very upset about the Game 7 lost to Jersey because, like, man, we're back in the playoffs and this was a lot of fun. Sucks that we lost. You know, but all right.

The game against the Islanders, Trotechek was tripped. Everybody knows that. I was very angry after that game, especially because I had tickets for Game 7, all right? I was very angry that that Islander series. All right. But with the Dolphins, I stopped allowing it to make me crazy because I felt like the team didn't deserve my emotion. They didn't deserve ruining my week.

So I lost that part of my Dolphin fandom. I don't think I'm ever going to get it back. And that's okay. Like, I'm okay with not losing sleep over something. Like, I lose sleep over the heat. I lose sleep over the Panthers. I don't need to also lose sleep over this. You'll get it back.

We'll get it back the soon as they're in a divisional round at home. You will be in pain if they lose that game. So maybe. Maybe you're right. But what does make me angry is situations like this, where you have former players who wind up talking shit about the dolphins when they leave the team. Does that make you angry as in you're defending the dolphins? Yes. Like, hey, don't talk shit about my team?

I'm allowed to talk about my team. You're not allowed to talk about my team unless you've actually earned it. Like, if someone who is here for, like, he played for the team, you didn't. Like, okay, but today, a player who's no longer on the team. For instance, we saw the Jalen Ramsey

stuff the other day, and that bothers me, but it wasn't that bad, all right? But take for instance, Dolphins last year had a safety play for them called Jordan Poyer. That was what he was called? He was a long-time Buffalo Bill's safety. So, obviously hate his guts for all those years, but now he's on our team last year, thought it was a really good signing until we learned, oh, this guy is totally washed, all right?

Like, Thurman Thomas was. It's so similar to Thurman Thomas. Like, we got Thurman Thomas at the end of career after he was killing us. All those years of Marino, he would always lose the playoff game in Buffalo. Every time he touched the ball, seven yards. It couldn't stop the screen pass. Thurman Thomas screen pass, automatic 12-yard gain every time. And then finally comes to play for us.

Nice. Guess what? He sucked when he came and played for us. And then he talked shit afterward, all right? You're not allowed to do that, okay? Because for instance, Israel said, oh, he played for the team. I didn't. If you asked Thurman Thomas today, do you care about the Miami Dolphins? He's going to tell you, get the hell out of my face. And if you ask me, do I care about the dolphins, I'm going to say, yes, I do. If it's Zach Thomas. Oh, he could say whatever he wants. Okay, so it's not all players. Of course. So just the ones who just sort of had a cup of coffee with Miami and really shouldn't be able to say it. You're not allowed to talk about the dolphins. Zach Thomas wants to say something. Tim Bowens wants to say something. Pat Sertan wants to say

something. Have at it, player. But Jordan Poyer, all right. Jordan Poyer yesterday on Instagram, all right? You'll be able to see this if you're watching on video where he was gifting a Bill's fan, a fan. Looks like Jordan Poyer's on vacation somewhere maybe. And he gifts a Buffalo Bills, 21. Jordan Poyer jersey. Seems like a really nice thing to do. Okay, great. this is posted on Instagram. And then in the comments, someone comments with, guess they didn't want that dolphin jersey, huh?

And Jordan Poir responds with, I don't even want that. What if that's self-deprecating? What if he knows that he was garbage as a member of the Miami Dolphins and he's making fun of himself? You think, if Wonder Woman was with him and she's using the lasso of truth, he's compelled to tell the truth. You must tell the truth if

Wonder Woman puts the lasso of truth around here. Tell the truth. You think that if he had a choice between Calell, no. Am I being self-deprecating here or am I trashing the dolphins? You think he's going with, I'm being self-deprecating.

There is a laughing face emoji attached. Yeah, he's like this team sucked. I'm laughing at the dolphins. If there's no emoji there, I'm with you. But I just, I don't know, I'm kind of with Mike on this. I think there's more context here. When people think of Poir, they will think of him as a Buffalo bill. He close his career

on a down note, not performing. warming well in an opposing team's jersey, a hated rival. I think that that's self-awareness. It's not like the normal laughing face. It's the sideways eyes closed. Like that's playful. That's a playful emoji right there. I don't get the, like, if he would have said I didn't even want that jersey,

meaning like I didn't play well while I was there, I could say, but I don't even want that? Because I was so bad there. I'm naturally predisposed to not give Jordan Poyer any grace, knowing what I know about Jordan Poyer, but I think you're being a little hard on the guy here. Well, I don't think you're allowed to just throw that out there. Does he happen to know that? Yeah, like, what do you happen to know about Jordan Poyer?

Google it, dog. He happens to know? Great Scott, he happens to know. He happens to know. Gather everyone. Get the children. He happens to know. So wise. Let's just say we're not ideologically aligned. I know one thing about Jordan Poyer.

I'm going to leave it at that. Oh, my God, he knows. I'm going to leave it that. Yeah. I know where he wanted to host his golf tournament. Mine wasn't about that. Well, that's what I'm talking about. Are we a line?

Okay. Is anyone else like that where, like, I know the dolphins suck, and I'll tell you they suck, but I could say whatever I want about the dolphins. Guys like Jordan Poyer, and you're right, Roy, guys like Thurman Thomas, they don't get to talk shit. I feel like I have to defend my. my team in that spot. You know what it was like? It was like a few years ago. Remember Mo

Harkless? With the heat. Yeah. He was awful. A horrendous player. Terrible. And the heat ended up trading him, some nothing trade. And like for the entire next year, whenever he had, like, whenever the heat would lose a big game, you know, he would put out some snide tweet or something. Like, shut the hell on, man. You know the rest of the league with him is probably like, you realize that almost every player that goes there gets the best out of their themselves and their ability and you're the one who couldn't. Nobody's actually agreeing with you on these crazy posts. Yeah.

Jeremy, who is that soft white guy that was pudgy that never got in shape that just took constant shots at us? Nomania Bialica. That's right. Really? Yeah. Remember him? Oh, that's right. He spent a short period of time. Oh, completely forgettable. We all thought

he was going to be Danilo Golanari. What? Weird. I couldn't even tell you. I mean, at that time, yeah. I'm really good with, you know, recalling, you know, the years, players. what he did that season. My life depended on it right now.

I don't think I would be able to give you the year that he played for it. Wasn't it just a few? Like, it was a few years ago. They got him from Sacramento at the time, right? He was like a kind of somewhat offensively skilled, bigger. He had some good numbers. We're like the only stop in which he was just terrible. And he talked shit? Yeah, he talked plenty

of shit. Listen, I'm going to tell you something. How do you say his name again? Namanya Bilitsa? Let me tell you. You absolutely nailed that. Let me tell you. I mean, pretending to not know who that is. Thank you. Thank you.

Look at his flex fit. It's for effect, all right? You don't think Zaslo knows everything about Bielitsa? Namanya Bialita. You want to talk shit to someone? Talk shit to me. Wow. And those two rings.

It was 11 games in the 2020-21 season. So it was coming off the bubble. And then that season obviously ended in disappointment, the first round to exit at the hand of the bucks. and he was supposed to be some sort of missing peace. And, you know, it didn't go out way. The year before they got to the finals, the year after that, they get Bialica, missing peace. By the way, if he wants to talk shit to you, he should probably start with the fit of that cap.

Oh, I'm going to put together a top five Zaz that I think you're going to like. Okay. I'll love a good list. Top five Miami Heat F boys. Okay. All right. I can get down with that. All right.

While Mike puts that together, Jeremy, you were very upset when you got here this morning, not because of the things that you disagreed with from yesterday's show. when you weren't here. But you're very upset with your favorite little baseball team, the Marlins, where you feel like the door was open here for them to continue making a push maybe to a wild card spot. And they lost two out of three, including yesterday, a game where they let three nothing after the middle of the first. Now, again, when I say middle of the first, that's before the Guardians even hadn't a bat for the game, all right? But three nothing lead, they wind up losing again. Yeah, it's rare that Edward Cabrera has a start like what

last night was. He gave up three runs in the first inning, ended up not making it through the sixth inning. And he's been, I mean, one of the better pitchers in baseball over the last couple of months. He's been really solid. But it was disappointing. You take a 3-0 lead. You ultimately blow it and you're down 5-4 going into the seventh inning. And they didn't end up going to a high-leverage reliever, Valente Bezos, who's been really good for them in several different roles this season. But as of late, has been kind of getting shelled, comes in, gives up several runs, starting with a lead-off double to Jose Ramirez, and the disappointing part is even after losing four out of five against the Braves, the Marlins were six games back.

Even after this two out of three against the Guardians, the Marlins remain six games back of the New York Mets because they have won two games in their last 15. And so when the Marlins had surged the way they had and got to 500, it felt like there was an opportunity for them to take advantage. They're currently sitting five games under 500, and yet they are just six games back of that wild card. They never got over 500. They got to 500, right? They got to 500 when they beat the Yankees. They now lost four out of five against the Braves. They lost, and they had lost two out of three against the Astros. They lost two out of three against the Guardians. They're sitting here, and there was this opportunity over the last week

and a half to get yourself a lot closer because they played the Mets seven more times this season. Well, I guess so here's the pushback that I'll give you there, all right? It's not like what you're saying is not factual in regards to the Marlins catching the Mets, but they're not just chasing the Mets. There are four teams in between the Marnons and the Mets. Oh, yeah. And look, the Giants have not been playing well. The Diamondbacks have been all right, but both of those teams were essentially sellers

at the deadline. They're not chasing quite the same way that people anticipated. There's only a game and a game and a half difference between those. They're two and a half back behind the Cardinals, who they're not. play at home starting next week. So going up against the Red Sox this weekend, if you can, again, it's the same scenario we talked about going to the Guardians. Hey, if you could take two out of three, get some momentum, then you play a team you're going

up against, there's this opportunity to move ahead. And the Reds are playing the Milwaukee Brewers, the very best team in baseball. So they might drop a couple of games this week. This weekend remains big for the Marlins. And I guess the frustration that you have, if you are watching a lot of. long over the last week, week and a half is, man, what an opportunity this could have been to push to be four games back, maybe even three games back, and instead you're still sitting here just holding out hope.

You almost, there's a part of, I know a lot of Marlins fans online, that almost wish that the Mets had just been winning some of these games and run away with it so that you could stop holding on to what's likely a pipe dream of going for the postseason. But, you know, if you have a good series this weekend, you never know, coming back playing nine straight at home before going to New York. I thought he was going to say this is our opportunity to finally stop talking baseball for the rest of the year. But apparently the Marlins are still in the hunt. Now, we're trying to milk it.

If we can milk another couple weeks until the regular season of football starts, that's... We're so close. That's the sweet spot, right there, you know? That's the sweet spot. Mike, what do you got, man? We got a couple of L.I. Now, the OLLI, they made positive contributions. Some even earned big contracts here.

So these are Miami Heat F-boys. Right, but they have pop up her brains. All right. Honorary. We love him. He's a legend, but classic F-boy, Mario Chalmers. Wow, yeah. That's... We love him, though. I didn't expect that to be in the direction. He's a champion. I might need a deep definition of F-boy then. Wow. And if we're putting together a top 10 of my favorite Miami-Hie players, Rio may be on it.

Okay. But F-boy. Mary L. Chalmers. O-L-I. Dion Waders. Gave us a great moment. That's why he doesn't crack the top five. And this guy made a big contract. Nobody else was doing it with blocks,

but between the years wasn't there, Hassan Whiteside. Wow. O-L-I, Hassan-White-Side. See how large he has gotten? Yeah, he's so jacked. Dude, he's huge. He plays for the Pirata in Puerto Rico, by the way. He might be too big.

Let's be honest. The top five gave us pretty much next to nothing. All right. Number five, Mike Bibby. Ah, yeah. Number one in my heart. hard at all time for F-boys. Standing ovation, right?

Yep. Nothing. Yeah, he was bad. Another roided up, dude. Number four. Yeah, yeah. Allegedly. Whoa.

Come on. Number four. Take it easy, man. McBob. I didn't hate Josh McRobberts the way everyone else had. Oh, Josh McRobbed us. That dude. He McRobbed us.

You wasn't supposed to take the contract? Number three. Smush Parker. You know, he's trying to be a referee. Yeah. Yeah. Number two, Kyle Lowry. How is he not number one?

I've never, I've never disliked the Miami Heat Player more. I hated watching him. Really? I know who his number one is. He's a disgrace. Got to be Chris Quinn. Kyle Lowry is a disgrace. The disgrace. Just a total lack of professionalism during his time down here.

And wearing number seven, which should only be recognized as Goran Dragich's number. A dragon. Number one. this one's obvious. Anybody want to guess? Scary. That's right. Terry Rozier.

Not just the worst Miami heap basketball player of all time. The worst basketball player of all time. This guy sucks. Do you think it's a long con so that they go back and see, see, see I wasn't trying to hit the unders. I'm just this bad.
