This is the Don LeBattor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. Happy Friday, everybody. Now there are a million places I'd like to start this show. However, I saw some online feedback and word reached me on how yesterday's show went, which after that heat performance we were obsessing over a

cupcake for for a while. So I've learned, I was alerted to YouTube comments that came for heat tiers and they didn't really get them, and I don't think they're gonna get them today because Jeremy's in, and I've already been sandblasted with propaganda from him. So let's just get this out of the way. Jeremy Tashay, and I know you're probably not the biggest fan

of how I just lobbed this one up. Don't love it. Yeah, but I am grateful for you in many ways, because by comparison, I'm the likable Heat fan on the show now, which is an amazing face turn for me. I am rooting for the Miami Heat to lose tonight. However, I also was rooting for the Miami Heat to lose in this exact spot.

To the same team. To the same team. However, it wasn't the exact spot because Jimmy Butler is out. And he's out for six to eight weeks I saw online. Maybe that's conjecture. But Jimmy Butler is out. And I think part of me wants Miami to win this game because

then you go into a Boston Celtics series with nothing to lose, everything to gain. Amazing nights spent listening to WEI is what you have to gain. If the Miami Heat managed to get one of those first two games, it's all worth it. But I will bring you in here because I want the Miami Heat to be smacked in the face today with a resounding definitive message that says it's time to recognize what you're doing right now cannot continue. The plan of having Jimmy Butler be your best offensive player, you got two Eastern Conference Championships out right now cannot continue. The plan of having Jimmy Butler be your best offensive player,

you got two Eastern Conference Championships out of it, congrats to you in the face of many odds, you maximized this roster, but you failed to get players that would have improved this team and you need to work towards that. Jeremy, the floor is yours. and you need to work towards that. Jeremy, the floor is yours.

I think that if you were going to have issue with a cupcake being eaten, then Valerie's name probably should have been on the box. Should have been. That's probably what should have happened, and I just think the fact that it wasn't, and then there was screaming that was happening in the other room is asinine, honestly, if you ask me.

I'm a little uncomfortable turning it into content, quite honestly. I thought it was a bad look all around. I actually said that in the pre-production meeting and got shouted over. I don't know what meeting you're referring to. That being said, when it comes to the heat, look, I understand your complaints,

and I think a thing that's totally fair, one misrepresentation that happened earlier this week was acting like Heat Twitter is like me. It's not. I'm the positive one. Yeah, it's not? No, most of Heat Twitter. Really?

Maybe I'm chewed up in your algo just because I'm close to the, we operate off the same WiFi router, but I am really bummed at the tone that Heat Twitter has taken. It used to be a far more miserable place. I think that you're missing the misery. If you really dive in there, there's still a lot of misery,

and throughout this season, many fans being asked to be put out of their misery, a lot of them commiserating with you in the same feelings about Kyle Lowry. Now, those fans were looking at Terry Rosier's season and having a different reaction than they did. I enjoyed Kyle Lowry giving the middle finger to looking at Terry Rosier's season and having a different reaction than they did. I enjoyed Kyle Lowry giving the middle finger

to Bam underneath his shirt. I did kinda, because I don't like what Heat Fandom has become, I kinda popped for Kyle Lowry doing that a little bit. Which is weird, cause you know how much I dislike Kyle Lowry. Yeah, you're all tied up in some very interesting emotions these days.

Jeremy, here's where I'm at. I think Jimmy Butler has fallen off the cliff that we all feared was coming. Like when he signed the contract, Tibbs minutes the whole thing, and he proved me wrong spectacularly time and time again. He had the lasting image from that bubble finals. What he did against Milwaukee,

Tony and I were just slack jawed watching those highlights, seeing Jimmy Butler have so much lift in his legs, and this was just last year. He's changed as a player. He's definitely aged, and I think generally what is really happening with me, Jeremy, is I think after all this time I want to celebrate the relationship that I've had with Bam on a bio and the discussion and the debate, but I'm tired. I'm just tired of having the Bam talks, and I know we're on the precipice

of another big Bam legacy game. This dude is a fully formed pro. Yeah, he is. At this point, this is a ridiculous conversation to keep having. I think the perception on Bam from your end is a different one than what I have. To me, what Bam did against the Sixers,

given the offensive limitations of the team in terms of just getting him the ball, right? Tyler Hero is the only playmaker. What he did defensively against Embiid and bothering him was huge, right? Nobody stops Embiid, and he really made him have an inefficient game on the offensive end. And by the way, Joel Embiid and he really made him have an inefficient game on the offensive end. And by the way, Joel Embiid is a great defender.

And so in turn. I'm also tired of touting what he does defensively. But that's just, so what you have is just. I understand he's a complete player. I ban fatigue. Yeah, you just have fatigue of this group. You're just tired. Yeah, I think it's time for a change.

I think it's been proven that they're not good enough. Right, but time for a change when you're having success. Like so, in this not good enough element. I get it there. There's a Look, it's the Riley quote right there's winning and there's misery right and so you want to win championships I'm a byproduct of this culture that I helped create Jeremy, and I'm miserable I do think that when you look at this era of Miami Heat basketball the last four years now four and a half years It'll be five years either after tonight or in a week.

This era is probably the second best era in Miami Heat history behind the big three. You've now. Yeah, because they have the banners to show for it. I would say that the Zo Timmy teams were better. It's influential. And you could even argue, obviously, because they won a championship with Shaq and Wade,

but that was just such a small run. Yeah, that is weird. NBA doesn't typically work like that, flash in the pan, and then they immediately fell off. Honestly, if anybody wants to, I know there's a lot of people complaining about the Jimmy Butler injury. If you want to look at the Heat's history in terms

of impactful injuries, it doesn't crack like top three, because this team doesn't have a legitimate shot to win the title. You have Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo in the bubble getting injured. And I do think that that does change the series somewhat. And also you have Dwayne Wade in game seven in the Eastern Conference Finals with a rib injury

that severely hampered his ability to get lift on his shot against the Detroit Pistons. Guys, we're very divided right now. Can I bring us back together and let's laugh at the Pacersistons. Guys, we're very divided right now. Can I bring us back together and let's laugh at the Pacers and the Magic because we can all agree right now, the Heat, it looks bad in terms of championship odds, like winning the entire thing without Jimmy.

The Heat currently have better odds to win the title than the Pacers and the Magic. That's everybody being afraid that Spoh is gonna paint a masterpiece because Spoh's a sicko. He loves this, by the way. I think he being afraid that Spoh is going to paint a masterpiece. But there is something to that. Spoh's a sicko. But he loves this, by the way. I think he low-key loves this situation.

Oh, yeah. But Mike, I think this speaks volumes. As much as you want to complain. It does. The Heat are still respected. This team has respect. Don't get it twisted. I'd much rather be us than the Pacers.

And yes, I use us. I am a Heat fan. I could be tired of Jeremy Tashay and Ryan Cortez and this Heat team and roster and still generally Want this team to succeed? I think the best path for success is to have a tough breakup and that tough breakup may come with Jimmy Butler It really we need to reevaluate that we need to look at BAM, especially if Bam does, here's what I think Bam is going to do. I think- He's going to play his entire career on the Miami Heat.

I think Bam is going to take a nice hard look at all those Mike McDaniel quotes that he has in his locker. I thought he was gonna look in the mirror when you were first talking to him. No, no, no, because he's got all these inspirational quotes in his locker about being assertive. And I do think Bam is gonna come out with a mindset that I gotta get my shots up. This is my time, this is the team that I do think BAM is gonna come out with the mindset that I gotta get my shots up

This is this is my time. This is the team that I do it against would've been great last game But I'm worried he's gonna do the BAM thing Where he just gets shots up to get shots up and there's no arc on these shots And he's basically shot putting these hook shots from the lane just to show everybody that he's capable of actually shooting it Can I take a quick victory lap? What was the end result of the Nick Batume back court violation? Jess was right. They did not call it on the two minute report

that Nick Batume pushed Tyler Hero in the back. Congratulations, Jessica. He clearly did. He absolutely did. The arm was full. It's a bad job by Tyler. You got to sell that. There's no way that you can be that close to the half court

line. That's it. That's the pressure. And actually, give the Sixers credit, and actually, where you give Kyle Sixers credit, and actually, where you give Kyle Lowry credit, is that their defensive scheme changed late in that game, in part because Kyle understood,

hey, if you put a ton of pressure on the Heat guards, especially if it's just Hakez and Hiro handling the ball, they're gonna have difficulties with it. That's the part that's interesting about tonight's game, is now- Is there anything interesting about tonight's game? Well, if you're looking at it from a heap perspective. The fact that there's an entire roster construction.

The fact that the Bulls could be in the playoffs. Well, that's crazy. Yeah, I wanna get the Bulls perspective in a moment, but I do think that this game does have some relatively huge significance, and it's not just about punching a ticket into the postseason, it's about what you do with this roster, because if you get eliminated tonight,

despite the injury to Jimmy Butler, who looks like a different player and has since the NBA finals last year, and this is a really devastating injury for him to suffer, when you've been careful with his body, so he'd be fresh for this. And he essentially got hurt by not going straight up to the cup like he would have against the Milwaukee Bucks last year. I understand going to the free throw. The pump thing was crazy. No last year I understand going crazy no reason to pump no reason what's in a

pump dude that is a jig is happy but it's true I would say the injury is a byproduct of his game changing because of his age and whether you want to acknowledge it or not whether he Twitter wants to acknowledge it or not Jimmy Butler acknowledged it with his decision to not go straight up Mike's Pointing right now. He's right. He's absolutely right a hundred percent I just think that first of all when we talk about Drawing fouls in games like this We're already trying to muck it up and bead was lauded by everybody

Including the broadcast for his ability to draw fouls Jimmy Butler does a lot of the same thing in his game, but it's fair to say the questioning of the pump fake is the most Monday morning quarterback thing ever. Yeah, it's amazing. I questioned it when it happened. I questioned what happened. He pumped fakes so much. All right. He doesn't make the layup. Chris, to me, it's in the class with Ben Simmons, not making that. I'm not taking that layup. Him not going straight up. You're in a tight game to not get the two when that guy was dunking all over the place against the Milwaukee Bucks I'm sorry. It's in that class. He got hurt because he pump faked because he wanted to go to the line There's two points right there. How many points you get from the line best-case scenario one Well best case scenario you make the first you miss understand. But he's going to the line for two.

You got two easy ones right there by just going straight up. We're trying to get Kelly Oubre in foul trouble. But now without Jimmy, the space that they're in is an interesting one, right? Because in the second half of their game against 76ers, the offense was entirely predictable. It was put the ball in Tyler's hands,

he only ran a couple of actions, and basically he was left to try to improvise and figure it out. Now, with a couple of days to prep, it's about how the Heat will replace Jimmy Butler, and it's likely on the offensive end going to come from a couple of their really young players, a rookie in Jaime Jaquez Jr.,

who's the only other player on the team who can operate out of the mid-post, and Nico Jovic, who, he's the guy that has really sparked this offense a lot throughout the season. The reason that I hope that they're able to get to the next round, aside from the fact that, you know, maybe get to be a part of a broadcast, is the fact that you get to see what those guys,

what Tyler Hero, what Niko Jovic, what Jaime Haques Jr. look like, going up against the best team in your conference as a measuring stick going forward. Showcasing assets potentially to finally improve this team where the front office has failed. We can be kind and say they didn't get these guys, or you can be a little bit more course with them

and say that they failed. Jovic and Haquez had good seasons. Yeah, and they're pieces of the future. I mean, Jovic is clearly your starting forward. We all know the NBA is going to collude to dilute their actual value in terms of trade. We all know that's gonna happen. It's happening.

It's happened already. Jess, I see you smiling the entire time. Wait, the NBA is working against the heat? Oh, I mean, it was very clear. I mean, they always are, but haven't you been part of the show for 20 years? I have a question. Tony brothers, man.

You want them to blow up the team, you said, right? Yes, I do. But do you trust this front office to fix the problem? That's a, they have really, they, I must. Must you? I trust the front office. Must you? I must.

What if Bam is the solution, and you bring in a new front office? Jeremy, your thoughts on them replacing the front office? Bam is not the solution. Bam is not. What if he could be the solution and you bring in a new front office. Jeremy, your thoughts on them replacing the front office? Bam is not the solution. What if he could be the solution? Jeremy, if you had to fix the heat, would you replace the players or the front office? Jeremy.

Wow. What are you doing? I'm just asking the questions around here. Solutions doesn't put up nine shots in a pivotal game. To answer your question directly, Billy, I have more faith in the front office figuring it out, even though they have failed and put this head coach, who I rate immensely in a difficult spot, time and time again with their failures.

Some of that's collusion, some of that's their own ego. But I do have faith in them figuring it out more than I have faith in this current roster, getting a year older and getting to that final stop on the mountain, the summit. I just don't see it in today's NBA landscape. Dude, they're not even good enough right now. They're in a play-in for the final playoff spot in the East.

They have enough where they were last year. I understand. We have enough. With a healthy Jimmy Butler. Sometimes teams just need adversity. I mean, they were three games away from being a three seed. Yeah, that's right More faith in the heat than the Bulls. Yeah, the Bulls if they do make the playoff will have had the worst

Record I believe since 2004 of an Eastern Conference playoff the Bulls have the longest odds in the entire league to win the They also have the hottest hand It also like the report is Jimmy's out a couple weeks like that could be game two of the first round with the NBA Schedule that's an argument for I think the the overriding argument for winning today Not just because you love your team is With this situation as presently constituted with Jimmy being hurt It's a no-lose scenario against the boss in Celtics. You lose you throw your hands up What do you expect us to do you got lucky and every Celtics. You lose, you throw your hands up, what do you expect us to do? You got lucky, and every Celtics fan,

whether they want to admit it into a microphone or not, and I know holier than thou Mike Schur, it would probably push back on this notion, but every single one of them was happy. Every single one. Well, he was claiming that Jimmy was faking it. Well, no. And now he'll be happy.

I will not betray Mike Schur in the way that you just did. No, the entire internet, all of Boston Celtics fans were claiming that he was faking it, and now he'll be happy. I will not betray Mike Sher in the way that you just did. Well, the entire internet, all of Boston Celtics fans were claiming that he was faking it. I kind of thought that he was embellishing a little bit too. Can we pull up that meme that was going viral yesterday for being the worst meme in the history of Heat Twitter? Mike Ryan, if you indeed invent Heat Twitter, this is your fault.

All right. It's a Celtics Twitter, this is your fault. Yeah. All right. All right. It's a Celtics logo and it says, quote, what's the point in making the finals to not win? And then the Heat logo says, y'all literally can't make it and when y'all did, y'all lost in 2002. So question mark. Too wordy.

2022, it's fine. Sorry, 2022. What did I say? 2002. It's a real bad meme. It's a real bad meme. It's a real bad meme. Yeah, it's really one of the worst things I've ever seen. Like, I've read it, and I still don't really know

what they mean by it. You know what would make this meme a lot better? I'm gonna come out and say it. A horse would make all the heat memes much, much better. Or butthole eyes for the Celtic. Butthole eyes for the Celtic. There's a third panel with the horse and it's just like, a horse doing a horse noise.

Yeah, but it's just so, it's a fl panel with the horse and is just like the horse doing a horse noise. Yeah, but it's just it's a flaccid. Granted it's always been. There's a lot to discuss today and I think we'll stop the the heat conversation for now because my guess is we're gonna be talking heat next week too. My guess is we're not gonna be talking heat after today. I hope to God. You don't think so? No. Did you see the thing? So we'll be talking panties now. Do you think Dan will avoid a post-mortem? Mmm.

Depends, do any more cupcakes get stolen in the next 72 hours? I mean he kinda. They went for you yesterday. That was huge. Was it? Yeah, you were immensely popular. Oh wow, well I mean,

Dan didn't paint his side of it in the best, the blaming Amazon truck drivers for stealing packages was a really bad place to start. Yeah. And we all kind of fear it though. We've all seen the Ring videos. No, but I've never thought someone's opened a box, taken things out of my box, closed the box back up,

and then left. The drivers pee in water bottles because they don't have time to use the restroom. He's like, does this happen a lot to you guys? I was like, that's honestly never happened to me. I mean I'll get sometimes it says something was delivered, and it's not there, but it's there like an hour later. Or it's just delivered to a different house, and I just figure it out. Yeah, that's happened to me. Hey, it's Mike, and I know you were hoping for an update on those fishtail palms in my backyard.

Well, have I got news for you? I actually got lighting installed and I can change it with an app. Beautiful fishtail palms lit up red. Depending on my mood. If my hockey team wins, we light those suckers red. Anyways, I like being outside. I like looking at those fishtail palms. You love hearing about it. But what's in my hand other than my app changing the lighting? A Miller light is in my hand. That's right, because I know when the Miller light is in my hand, I make a good time Miller time. I take that first sip, I know immediately I made the right call. Nothing goes with my fishtail palms quite like a Miller Lite. It makes everything so much better. And I'm gonna have some people over, I'm gonna toss them that beautiful white can,

they're gonna say, heck yeah, and they're gonna have that first sip and know, just like me, that they made the right call. Times change, but you can always enjoy the great taste of Miller Lite.

Teammates can't shoot from three Now they're gonna see a different Jimmy Now he's just, just playing Nickelback in the locker room and Stugats They'll play D and show threes

As they chase the Nats for the sixth seed These five words in his head Scream, are we winning games yet? This is the Dan LeBattar Show with the StuGats. I have another house in my neighborhood with the same address, but I'm on a North street. They're on a South street. So we are once a week, we're making trips over to the house.

So here you go. Really? You go to the other house and give them a package? If I have their package, I'll drop it off. Have you become friends? I mean, I wouldn't say friends, but we're definitely friendly. I don't know when you cross mean I wouldn't say friends, but we're definitely friendly hmm I don't know when you cross that bridge from friendly to friends, but it's a good question again there What is it do you hang out separate never giving each other packages then you're not friends? Yeah, you're just friendly

Yeah, do you text? No, this is just a package exchange. Yeah, do you ever go out and think what if the person with my same address? They might like this Maybe I should invite them to do this thing. I have people that I've thought, hey, I'm doing this thing, should I invite, it's even gotten to the point. How long does that stay in your mind?

Because I guarantee you don't actually invite them. Well no, here's the thing, I'll walk you through this because I've thought about it for people that I text with, whatever. I'm like, you know, I don't go out much. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm a man about town, I'm not. I go out sporadically at best. So I went out for St. Patrick's Day this year,

and I thought, you know what, I'm gonna go out, it actually wasn't St. Patrick's Day, because that was a Sunday, it's a school night, so I went out the Saturday before. But I went out to the Gables. I did, I did, yeah, and I was at actual John Martins. I've never actually been to John Martins. I used to do, well, I didn't know there was a second floor.

I wish I would've gone to the second floor sooner. There was so many fewer people up there. Very crowded downstairs. It's fancier now. It's also exhausting going out, if I'm gonna be honest with you. Like when I was at John Martins and I saw all the, you know, all that goes into going out and like.

Is it a pub? It is. It used to be more of a pub. Now it's kinda gone high-end I don't know there's people there and like drinking involved and there's people and old people you know I think that young and old me just described a lot of places there's young people there old people because I don't go out I'm telling you this is just my experience going out to a place I was at the bar

later actual the bar not the bar at John Martin love that place there's a sign that had my autograph on it that's embarrassing I was at the bar later, actual the bar, not the bar at John Martin's. Love that place. There's a sign that had my autograph on it. That's embarrassing. People send pictures of me sometimes. How'd they get that? I know how they got it.

They got that when we did the show at Blackbird because it's the same owner, owns Blackbird and the bar. So we signed something for it. The mini-mass? Yeah, yeah. That was just like first event, right? Stugats walked up to the bouncer and was like I'm Stu gots and the guy was like what yeah My wife got assaulted at that that was a loud night. Oh our VIP area was like right by the Taylor was there as a fan

As a fan. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I remember like trying to like navigate that Mmm, and he kept popping up. Yeah still popping up as he does singing and he kept popping up. Still popping up to this day. As he does, yeah. Singing songs about Jaylen Brunson. I don't know that he actually works here. Jaylen. So good.

Anyways, what were we talking about? What was your story? Okay, so yeah, so Eddie, so I went out, yeah, to John Martin's for St. Patrick's Day, and I'm wondering if you've run into this situation where like, so I know I'm going out that day, but who do I wanna go out with? It's a big question. So then do I text people like, hey, but who do I want to go out with? It's a big question.

So then do I text people like, hey, you want to go out? Like, hey, we text sometimes, I'm gonna go to this thing, what are you gonna do? And I remember specifically telling my wife, I'm not gonna mention any names, I'm like, hey, I'm gonna go out. I'm thinking of texting this guy, because you know we text from time to time

if he wants to kind of, you know, him and his wife want to go and kind of hang out with us. And she's like, why would you do that? You're friends with that person like that? I'm like, I don't know, we text sometimes. Isn't that how friendships work? You just text someone and you're like, you want to go hang out? Like, I don't know. You married your mirror image. I mean, I'm gonna be the first one. You're feeling a little bit frisky and she brings you back down to Gillian. I'm gonna cry. There has to be an initial text to hang out, right? That's how it works, you nailed it.

I was going to initiate that. Yeah, it's always risky to send it. This is how friendship works, Billy. Someone has to send it. Well, I'm learning, so I was going to. Story ends with me not doing that. I didn't end up texting the person because my wife shames me and was like,

you wanna be friends? And to be honest with you, had I crossed that barrier, I do wonder if that would've led to more invitations to go out than I would not have participated in, ruining the friendship. So it's probably good that we didn't cross that barrier because it would've just led to disappointment if there was the expectation of,

this is a friendship now, we're gonna start hanging out because as previously mentioned, I'm not a man about town, so I'm not one that goes out a lot. So if this leads to the person then inviting me a lot, and then it's a lot of no's, then they'd be mad at me, and then maybe that would end our texting relationship.

I can't believe how many future scenarios you're running through just for one night out. Oh, always, yeah, yeah. No, my mind is like a choose your own destination book. What if we have a good time and that opens up a whole new world? Well that's the worst case scenario. What if we make a little lost track?

If we have a bad time, it's good. If we have a bad time, it's good because it's the last time this has to happen. If we have a good time. Then you have to do it again. This leads to more engagements and more responsibilities on my end. More good times.

Social responsibilities. Good times are for the kids. This is why we need to have a show game night. That'd be great. That's a great topic. We should talk about that on Mystery Crate. I'll bring it up. There's a new Taylor Swift album,

and is she doing the thing where we all call it a new album, but it's an old album that she re-recorded? No, it's actually a new album. It's an actual, okay, great, cool, awesome. How many songs? I think there's like 30. It's a double album. It's an actual, okay, great, cool, awesome. How many songs? I think there's like 30. It's a double album. Apparently it's a double album, and Mike,

Jeremy and I discovered right as we went live that there may be a reference to Kaderrius Tony in this album. Yeah, this is huge news. In the song The Alchemy, there is a lyric in the chorus that says, so when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut them from the team. I don't think that's about Kaderia's telling me. She means like touch down with her private jet.

Yeah. Why are you ruining the fun? Did she mention the fast twitch energy drink player of the week? I'll scroll through and find out, we'll see. Don Lebatard. Are you back on the caffeine? Are you back on the Red Bull?

Yes. Yes. See, we are. Something's wrong. I mean, it's unbelievable how manic he is and he sort of just, he keeps, he keeps, you know, chewing on his bottom teeth in a way that's scaring me a little bit.

Stu Gatz. I've been up since 5.30 a.m. producing content. And in terms of being able to be on, my body needs a little boost. And that's why I turned to cocaine. This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats. ["The Stugats Show Theme"] A bit of a catch-22 in that we had to do the Heat Talk.

There were people angry at us for not doing the Heat Talk. People come to us, and I really love our local audience, people come to us for that local coverage. But I promise you, that'll be it for Heat Talk, and we'll begin having fun with this show. There was a GM that farted. I'm being told this right now. And I already don't wanna play this video, Chris,

because typically whenever there is a suspicious noise that people allege is a fart, it's never an actual fart. Orlovsky had this happen on McAfee, it was clearly a windshield wiper. This one feels real to me. I'm with you, I'm kind of over the, oh, that was a noise. He apologizes, I don't wanna spoil it here, but let's play this clip.

Still got a couple days going through, Coach and I haven't sat down and go, excuse me, gone through the final board yet. That wasn't an excuse me for the fart though. It might have been a tummy. It could have been a tummy growling. It's definitely a body noise. Yeah, can I?

It's no chair, We'll play it again. So let's run it back. Still got a couple of days of going through, Coach and I haven't sat down and go, excuse me, gone through the final board yet. That was a facial trick, too. Yeah, there is. Could it be an inner fart?

A throat gargle? Inner fart? Yeah, no, a throat fart. Yeah. What? What's an inner fart? An inner fart, when you hold a fart, but then it kind of goes in your tummy.

Is that your tummy growling? Yeah, an inner fart does these throat parts sometimes where something gets at the gargle Yeah, I'm sorry. Can we roll again? I? An inner fart is that an option got a couple of days going through coach, and I haven't sat down and go Excuse me going through the final I don't know if that's an inner fart or a throat fart it's not an outer part I don't think or do you think one more time cuz contextual seven more times the excuse me could have been a couple of days going through coach and I haven't sat down and go excuse me gone through the final mid-sentence you don't

generally stop mid-sentence for an inner fart. Yeah. And then say, excuse me afterwards. Yeah, I thought maybe, excuse me, made sense in the sentence that he was saying prior to. But no, excuse me was a reference to that. Maybe if we listen to the fart isolated, it sounds like a fart.

It doesn't sound like a fart. Like a traditional outer fart? I'm efforting to get the sound. He didn't even lift, though. Doesn't sound like a fart. No, you lift. He does seem to be clenching. The shoulders never dip.

If you put a level on his shoulders, they don't move. The pad level on it. But that's why the sound comes out because you got to lift. No, because the sound doesn't happen. No, but he's holding which is why he's sat normal. He's clenched, but then the fart goes back up and then the inner fart happens. Wait, is his body telling you that he's clenching? Let's run it back one more time. I just, the whole time. Still got a couple of days going through, Coach and I haven't sat down and go, excuse me, going through the final board yet. Excuse me, yeah.

That's a classic hold inner fart. Okay, I think it's throat fart. Is an inner fart a real thing? Yeah, I've never heard this. What is an inner fart? You've never had one on the precipice of the bun hole. And then it goes up and makes a noise? No, but yeah.

That's because it's gas. Never? Literally is what happens. That's an inner fart. I don't think it works that way. I don't think it's a sound entity that's just moving throughout your body waiting to make the sound somewhere.

That's gas. Mike and I are talking about the exact same thing. Yeah, you guys are going to have to do an apology. All right, I got it isolated here. I got it isolated here. That's a fart. Yeah, you guys are gonna have to do an apology. All right, I got it isolated here. I got it isolated here. Oh. That's a fart. Wait, one more time? Mm.

Okay, so. He. He's exhales. There's an exhale. Here's a little more context to it. A little more context. Get down and go, excuse me, gone. Wouldn't the fart sound when it's coming out

be caused by, you know, how it's leaving your body I don't want to say butthole but wouldn't it be caused by like your butt and your cheeks like isn't that what yeah but you don't have an inner butt no but the gas goes the other way there's a pair of hands inside of you that are like you know what I mean you're saying that the the fart noise comes from the cheeks vibrating that's a Billy's a yes well and like the like the hole you know there's not you don't have an inner butthole one more time well technically you do have an inner but you have an inner butthole you have inner farts. All right, so he breathes in.

We can rule out throat fart. Because a throat fart happens while you're talking, not while you're breathing in. There wouldn't be a breath before. There wouldn't be a breath before. So I think we've deduced inner fart. There's a very important conversation happening. Yeah, I think we need to get to the bottom of this.

It's just anatomy 101, that's all it is. Yeah, all right. Well, go on the bottom of the chest and tell me. It's just Anatomy 101, that's all it is. Yeah, alright. Bring it to air? Well, go on, go on. Bring it to air. I don't know what to do with any of this. She's shook by inner fart. I don't know what an inner fart is.

Classic. You've never had a fart that you're like, can't have that, and your body just kind of adjusts, and the gas goes back in. You guys sound foolish. You do sound foolish. There's inner farts. The gas is trapped. It's trying to find its way out. And it has to go through.

You guys were, you just acted like it was something you were talking about. We were talking about butt holes back here. Just saying. You're the one who said it. We're talking about whether there's a b-hole on the inside of you as well. Look, I went to Catholic school,

don't ask me about anatomy questions. That's an inner fart. You've never suffered an inner fart. Where you're like, I can't let this one out. You gotta pitch it back in. That noise has never happened inside of me. I still think this is one of those Dan LeBotard throat gargles.

He breathes in simultaneously. That's impossible. No, but you don't think he could be moving on the seat causing that other sound? That's impossible. No, but you don't think that he could be moving on the seat, causing... He breathed in by where? That other sound? That's an inner fart. Stamp it.

I think his butt lungs were breathing. Yeah. I can do that like a turtle. What? I do need to issue an apology to the audience. And I'm always so angry at Dan for spoiling shows. And I just missed one. at Dan for spoiling shows. And I just miss one. And this is truly a sincere apology.

We were talking about the Bluey finale. They put out two bonus episodes, tearjerker, really emotional stuff. And I love Bluey. I've been on record. Bluey is out of all the, there's so much bad children's television. Bluey is heads and all the, there's so much bad children's television. Bluey is heads

and shoulders the best, the best male influence going on television right now. Model dad. And we talked openly about the Bluey finale and a lot of people got legitimately upset that I spoiled an episode and spoiler alert, spoiler alert, spoiler alert, I was referencing the part where Banda takes a for sale sign out of the yard. And how- Oh no! Oh, I didn't see it. Now Roy's upset.

I gave, I gave- But he's working here. I know, I know, I'm upset about the situation. I'm not upset about the spoiler. That spoiler alert, the alert you give is for people who have the ability to fast forward 15 or pause it. Roy's sitting right here.

He never at once. Like, how is Roy supposed to avoid that spoiler? No, no, no, no. He could put two fingers in ears. No, no, no. Give me a look that says, don't spoil this for me. Again, I'm not upset about the spoiler. I'm upset about that situation.

They're doing that. You wanted him to move? No, I didn't want him to move. I didn't want him to move. Well, then, this is the possibility of moving. Roy, spoiler alert. A lot of spoilers. They stay. Hold on a second. Whoa. You wanted you wanted him to move? No, I didn't want to move The possibility of moving They stay on a second. Whoa, come on, man. I haven't even seen Breaking Bad. Oh, no Very different shows, but we'll talk about Giancarlo Esposito in a second

so bluey is a tremendous show and It's a little creepy to watch it without kids. I wouldn't recommend that but if you if you're a young parent, especially You're apologizing to whom I'm a pilot I've made people genuinely mad but whom a lot of people in my mentions, but like people like grown people grown grown people with children Who cares? Who cares about grown people getting a kids show spoiled for them mean you can have that you're half-assed watching anyway, okay? we can have the not this're half-ass watching anyway. OK, we can have the- Not this show....attitude about everything, but I... Especially for me, someone that gets angry and frustrated with Dan when he's constantly spoiling things.

He ruined Succession. Shiv, Shiv. Yeah, he ruined Succession. Outside of Breaking Bad, probably the best show, the best drama of the last 15 years. And he just totally ruined it, hours removed from it and it kind of diluted the experience for me. As someone that's been on the receiving end of that I am sincerely sorry. No joke, not a play. I know we have characters going

around this thing and it's all fun and games but really genuinely sorry that I that I ruined that episode of Bluey for you because you needed to know whether or not they moved. Even also, you didn't know that that was even a plot line. If you hadn't watched it, you might as well watch. It's about the journey, not about the end. It's about that moment. So Mike, would you say you blew it? Jeremy, do you go away if the Bulls win tonight?

Do I chase that? Just like away from the show forever is that an option? I mean, I would think we get more of Jeremy if the heat season ends because it have more time. I'll be around yeah Do anything you guys like me to do, but you'll be around talking about the heat I it's a good thing to have like for me personally the counterbalancing your act with mine It's it helps me and it also makes me realize that I used to be that for the listening audience. And I now receive it a lot better. So I wanna thank you.

So you're around so that Mike looks good. Generally. I appreciate all of that. Do you get a ring if the heat going to run in? You would. You would. You know, I think I would, yeah. You would. Wow, that sounds like a biased member of media. And you deserve it, by the way. Thank you. I think you're exceptional on television.

I like you as a person on air. You change a little bit and you amplify some more annoying aspects of your personality, but I do like you and I do root for your teams to be successful. Just not this one. Thank you. I want them just tossed it out. Is this a situation where we can say this about Jeremy, but no one else can say this about Jeremy? Don't come after Jarabarri. Thanks, guys. No, I want them just tossed it out. Is this a situation where we can say this about Jeremy,

but no one else can say this about Jeremy? Don't come after Jer-Bear. Thanks, guys. No, I get very, I think you're a talent kid. Because I would be meaner to you on air if I knew that people would be nice to you off air. Yeah, they're not, but thank you. Exactly.

So I reserve myself. Thank you. Tony doesn't. There's a big fight happening this weekend. Jeremy, if I could give you any advice It would be steal a cupcake and you will change immensely Just steal from Dan's assistant, that's a move that's moved Tony to borrow a phrase from you. I've been I've been following steal the the fight game tangentially

Yeah, just exclusively through IG Reels and social media clips and what gets thrown in the group chat. And I've been alerted over the last few months to this Ryan Garcia character, who appears to be having a full-on mental health breakdown right in front of our eyes. And Ryan Garcia is a boxer of repute, Golden Boy promotions. Hell of a mentor he's picked out for himself.

Yeah, right. And is this legit? is a boxer of repute, Golden Boy Promotions, hell of a mentor he's picked out for himself. Yeah, right? And is this legit? Because I watch these videos and it feels legit. It feels like someone's going through it, someone that might also, other fighters accuse him of drug use, I mean, the signs are there, there's a really erratic behavior.

I'm not gonna watch this fight, but I am drawn to what a circus this has become So there's a lot of stuff to talk about in this situation one that there's a fight in boxing That is this weekend and that basically nobody knows about because the Barclays Center is almost completely like empty Nobody's bought in tickets yet Devin Haney good really good boxer Ryan Garcia lost to Gervonta Davis after that liver shot that we saw. And since that point in his career, in his life, things have kind of gone off the rails.

He's done a lot of strange erratic stuff on social media. He's gone on spaces, he's done videos. He was alleging that there was some sort of hit. There was like the CIA was after him, and that people in Bohemian Grove, the conspiracy of Bohemian Grove and all that. He's also kind of like low-key, he's very handsome, high-key handsome guy. Good looking guy, yeah.

And so like he has this standom around him that as anyone that's controversial these days has. Yeah and again being linked with Oscar De La Hoya and his past there have been allegations that he acts a little bit too weird for somebody who's not you know Dude, he's out there selling fights and he's at these pressers trying to sell he's trying to he's out there attempting to sell fights and I've seen Mike Tyson threatened to to to rape press members in the audience and I've never seen the opposing fighter be as rattled as they are when they're opposite of Ryan Garcia attempting to sell a fight because this is like some truly off-the-wall behavior. It's weird it's

weird and it's not like the usual shit talking back and forth oh you suck all this that in the third it's like just weird behavior he's doing things that a normal person wouldn't do right he's trying to like change the way that fights get promoted, but it feels like it's not really working. And he's also a plus 575 dog, right? So it's not like he's even that close. Not Devon Davis.

I don't know who this other fighter is. I barely know who Ryan Garcia is. Devin Haney is a minus 910 favorite. Okay. As the champion of the year. But he was out there making half a million dollar bets on weight. I don't understand what's going on here whatsoever. The boxing game, to be honest, and me and Chris

were talking about this beforehand, the boxing game without a Paul in it, outside of Tank, outside of Bud Crawford, outside of Spence, outside of those big names, Canelo maybe. And now the heavyweights are taking the sideshow fights. Right, right. And Gano, Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, outside of those couple of names,

nobody's really intrigued for boxing whatsoever. So it feels like Ryan Garcia is trying to get over on everybody with social media, but it's just making him look like a weirdo. So this is how you stick out in combat sports lately. We've seen it with Colby. We've seen it with McGregor, who was not, because people have been doing these things

in the fight game for quite some time. They're all derivative from Muhammad Ali, really. But the new school way of doing it, everyone's kind of like at the altar of Conor McGregor. And even Jake Paul found his way, although the Paul brothers had both really mellowed out since they first burst onto the scene. This isn't actually making an impact

in terms of selling fights. It's just someone having a public mental health crisis. Alleged drug use, alleged mental health crisis, it's just a weird way to do it. And Oscar continues to say he's fine, even though we continue to see with our own eyes, he's not fine. But Oscar kept saying he was fine when he was going through it.

Right, exactly. Hey, it's Mike and I know you were hoping for an update on those fishtail palms in my backyard. Well, have I got news for you. I actually got lighting installed and I can change it with an app. Beautiful fishtail palms lit up red, depending on my mood. If my hockey team wins, we light those suckers red. Anyways, I like being outside. I like looking at those fishtail palms, you love hearing about it, but what's in my hand other than my app changing the lighting? A Miller Lite is in my hand.

That's right, because I know when the Miller Lite is in my hand, I make a good time Miller time. I take that first sip, I know immediately I made the right call. Nothing goes with my fishtail palms, quite like a Miller Lite. It makes everything so much better. And I'm gonna have some people over, I'm gonna toss them people over. I'm gonna

toss them that beautiful white can. They're gonna say heck yeah and they're gonna have that first sip and know just like me that they made the right call.
