¡Yor, ¿el que te va a hacer? ¡Tenerá un nuevo trabajo! Listen to what you hear, and stop the eyes. We take all the dirt, but the most terrifying is not to know what to trust. The people who ask you to look at it, you want to follow the path. Birdbox, Barcelona. It's a train on Netflix on July 14th. You dare to know. We talked a lot of immaculate grid today. Oh, it's a best, isn't it? Oh, good.

That's such a good game. I can't wait for tomorrow. I was lamenting how lucky you have it that it comes out at nine o'clock local time for you. Yeah, well, I get your, your results every night at like 1030. And that's how it reminds me that the new one is up. By the way, like all games though, give us the archives, man.

Give me an option. Give me a $1.99 a month option to unlike the archives. The hell, why don't they want, these games don't want people playing them in like a throughout their past. They like, I guess there's some scarcity thing, right? That's like it tantalizes you by only having one a day. You know what I've taken to, Mike?

I've started making my own immaculate grids. Oh my gosh, yeah. Across sports, not just baseball, it's hard with baseball, but now I'm also in like wrestling immaculate grids. I get to be CW logo in the US title. Like it's, I just, I can't get enough of the Immaculate Grid. Mike, I think you look terrific today.

Okay, David, thank you for coming in awkwardly. As you always do with a schmarmy compliment, I don't know that Mike sure likes you or even knew that you were here, but let's get to this with Mike sure in a second because he's got a lot of problems with you and we'll get to whatever your beef is that we're supposed to settle here

as metal-arc friends and teammates. Mike sure hasn't been around here in a while though and I don't want to get immediately to a macular grid. I do want to get to mark his smart. But first, since David Samson is here, Mike, you texted me last week that Samson had said the single dumbest thing you'd ever heard on our show and I let him get away with it and I'm just going to say it's because I got stuff going on away from here.

And I was distracted and I shouldn't have let him get away with it, but you want to take up your objection with David Samson now? You want to air the beef or do you not want to even talk to him? No, it's up to you. I'm happy to air the beef, but the beef was written into my, Miami observations piece as part of the conversations. You have Miami observations. I have Miami observations today if you want them.

Yes, you don't want them. No, I do want them. Of course, I'm sorry, I did not know this. I'm very pleased that you're coming back. I was told you went to Paris to celebrate the heat losing in the finals. You haven't been around. You've been handling the right strike. I took my family to Europe because I was told you went to Paris to celebrate the heat losing in the finals. You haven't been around You've been handling the right strike. I took my family to Europe because I was so happy that the heat lost and we just celebrated throughout Europe and then I've also got the right to strike going on still I also have a sinus infection. It's possible to rack up a lot of fines today

I'm drinking throat coat tea But there's a lot going on in my life, Dan. But unlike you, I don't use that as an excuse to avoid confrontation. So I wrote at Miami Observations Peace just about things I've observed about City of Miami, South Florida, and part of my part of that peace does involve David Samson. So I'm happy to give you the whole thing if you want to have that. Yes, let's do that now. Yes. Oh my God. So we've missed you. This is going to be a very long segment Yes, let's do that now. Yes, oh my god. So we've missed you. This is going to be a very long segment.

Bradley Beale chose the Phoenix Sun. So over you guys. That is so embarrassing. I guess he figured if he was gonna flop in the playoffs, he might as well just do it with his friends instead of getting screamed at by Jimmy Butler for not getting back in transition defense during an inter squad scrimmage in August.

Here come the Orioles. Hey Dan! In the words of a wise man that you admire greatly, Mr. Colin Cowherd. Culture has a sense of humor. I think it's a good idea to have a wise man that you admire greatly, Mr. Colin Cowherd, culture has a ceiling. Oh no, and apparently that ceiling is Nicoli Yokech's armpit. Hey guys, I put Jason Tatum's rings in a box and And I put Jimmy Butler's rings in the same box. And the box is empty.

Okay, brief interjection here. David Sanson came on the show last week for his weekly celebration of the ownership class. He was a command performance. Just absolute chef's kiss pro billionaire Baghdad Bob Propaganda. Among my favorite comments were these. Mickey Harrison doesn't owe his fans anything. Mickey Harrison loses money every year on the heat. Mickey Harrison will never realize any profits on the heat

because instead of selling them, he is going to give the team to his son David Mickey Harrison bought the heat for 32 million dollars. They are easily worth four billion dollars It doesn't matter whether he sells the team or gives it to his child He has made 3.97 billion billion and that amount goes up every year. Also, Mickey Harrison inherited Carnival Cruisines from his dad. He is the ultimate nepot baby. And Carnival Cruisines is incorporated in Panama and pays no federal income tax, which according to one article I read on CNBC.com,

saves Mickey Erison's company $600 million a year. Mickey Erison doesn't lose money on anything. While David Samson was talking, I swear I could hear Dominic Foxworth audibly grinding his teeth. Even though he was not in the studio. Fox worth audibly grinding his teeth, even though he was not in the studio. But David, seriously, thank you for defending those who can't defend themselves. The world's wealthiest people who inherit businesses from their dads and pass them onto their sons through complicated trusts in order to avoid taxes. A truly heroic defense of these poor, poor people. Keep an eye on the Rangers.

Matthew Kachak. Sorry, sorry I pronounced it wrong. It's pronounced Kachak-Oak. Oh no. No, yes, I know he broke his throat every 5 to 7 open. Sorry, I'm talking about the first About before he broke his dirt of a crack They say the hottest goalie in the playoffs is the one who hoist the cup

Sarah gave a broski was the hottest goalie in the playoffs is the one who hoists the cup. Sergei Babrovsky was the hottest goalie in the playoffs until he wasn't. Yeah. I would make one humble suggestion. I would say to Sergei Babrovsky, do you know what it is, Dan? I do not. I'd suggest that he do it in the finals. Do you guys know why the panthers lost the cup? Seriously?

Do you know why they lost the cup? I do not injuries they can they completely fell apart on the forecheck This their forecheck was a disaster. I Told you guys that he were gonna make a run in January and you didn't believe me That's true I told you about Ellie Dela Cruz months ago and you ignored me and blew me off. That's correct I spent a full day at my vacation writing this Miami observation species even though I'm an unpaid intern. And there's a writer's right. I was good. And there was a writer's track. That's correct. I was good at, I was good at

end this by saying what the hell is wrong with Miami. But really the question is what the hell is wrong with me. Yeah, that's right. And speaking of hell. All right, briles, Dan, those are the Miami observations. David, do you have anything that you would want to say here to Mike Sher? Bravo. Excellent effort, Mike Sher. Did you write that from the Bristol in Paris? No, I wrote it on the plane.

What difference does that make? It's just funny the way you talk about how people are. And I just think you're off base and you're like you accuse me of stuff and you your friends with people on the show. We've never met and all I want to do is talk about things that are real and you just won't even allow that conversation and I don't get that. Well get my number from any one of the 26 people in the shipping container there they'll have my number.

I would love to. Oh my god that is not he number close to it it's not no book it he said it was got a number close here and he seconds to spare how did he number close you i was protecting you from him texting you i didn't think you wanted to hear from oh i i was just that all of the people who have my number are instructed not to give it to him so i'm saying go ahead and get my number from them but then when he asked them for my number they're all going to say no

okay we'll see what differences in make where i wrote that david seriously what what are you getting at what what are you meant to add hominem or you trying to love you against me i think it was like you're also part of the owner class i'm not really sure what it's yeah you throw the you try to get people behind you, Mike. And the Mickey Eris in situation, my point with him

is he's been hugely successful for the fans. And what I took exception to is Dan saying that he was owed more by Mickey Eris when he's delivered rings, whether it was with LeBron or not, whether it's supposed to want it only with LeBron. But you claim to, you claim to lose his money every year. He actually does. That's a patently absurd thing to say it only with the wrong. But you claim to you claim to lose his money every year. He actually does.

That's a, that's a, that's a patently absurd thing to say. But he just does ask you to ask anyone you're going to find. This is the problem. This is the exact problem. This is the exact problem that the writer's guild has, for example, with the people who run the studios is what they say is like, guys, we're just not making any money. And what they mean is in this very narrowly defined way, using highly paid accountants who manipulate numbers, they can show, oh, last year, our streaming service actually lost $1.6 million. That's only because they've

calculated ways to write off every possible expense and every single potential depreciation of every potential asset they have in the universe against the profits that they make this year. Meanwhile, when they release their statements to public and their publicly announced earnings announcements, they make $30 billion a year in pure profit. So they claim when they talk to their employees that they're losing money and then when they talk to their shareholders, they actually made $30 billion. And you're doing the same thing, technically speaking in this narrowly defined way using highly priced accountants and complicated mathematics, you could say, oh, we lost the heat lost money last year. That doesn't mean that the heat is a depreciated asset. In fact, the heat appreciates measurably every single year, relentlessly year after year with zero risk to

Mickey Erison or any other NBA owner appreciate. He loses money. He loses money on the heat every year. Is it patently insane and absurd defense of the ownership class? And it's ridiculous. It's the same arguments that every ownership class uses to discuss its flagging profits with every labor force. But you're so ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But you're so ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But you're so ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But you're so ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But you're so ridiculous. But you're so ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But you're so ridiculous. It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. But you're so ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. What I absurd to say that he loses money on his team. He has made $4 billion on this team. He is absolutely profited. And then when Chris Cody pointed that out, you tried to say, well, he's not gonna see any of that money

because he's gonna give it to his son. Do you understand how insane a thing that is to say? Okay, fine, yes, technically. When you live in a house that appreciates you don't get the money to pay the electric bill just because the house is appreciated. You can snap your finger and sell the team and make four billion dollars. But that's not the right. It's just not because you're not counting what his debt is in the team. You're not counting what the taxes on the game game. He bought the team for $32 million.

Oh my, that's not the amount he has invested in the team. That's, I'm just telling you. And we can argue. It's also not the amount of profit. It's also not the amount he makes on the team. He has not taken a distribution. I'm not, it's not that I'm defending, Mick Harris, I don't love the guy.

I couldn't stand him when I was down here because all he did was win. But he doesn't take distributions from the heat. You saying he doesn't use the heat as in any way to expense his lifestyle? Those are two totally different things. No, they're not. Those are distributions. If you're giving away tickets, that's a distribution. If you're using a private jet owned by licensed by the team in some shell corporation, that's a distribution.

That's what rich people do, it's what billionaires do. They figure out ways to cheat the system, avoid paying taxes and suck all the money out for themselves. And it doesn't even matter, okay fine. He doesn't take any distributions, let's assume that's true. If you can snap your fingers and make four billion dollars on an asset, you haven't appreciated asset. And he could do that at any moment that he wants.

But he doesn't want to do it, and that's his decision. So what? But so what? That you can't claim that he hasn't made money on the heat. If he just doesn't want to cash out that money, he's made- But he hasn't made the dollars. When you have a stock that you own that appreciates,

if you do not cash in or sell it, you haven't made money. You've made money on the app paper. This is exactly the kind of nonsense technical, yes, you're technically- Yes, that technical, that's your election. in or sell it, you haven't made money. You've made money on paper. Exactly the kind of nonsense technical. Yes, that technical, that's your connection. That's your connection, your hand. Yeah, but all he has to do is decide to sell it and he has that money tomorrow.

So what difference does it make? You can't say that he hasn't made the money. Yes, he has. We know he's made the money because of what the sun sold for, because of what the clipper sold for, because of what the next would sell for, what the Lakers would sell for. That money is rock solid. It is never going away.

They have TV contracts stretching out years and years and years. They have league agreements. They have labor peace. There is no chance that he can lose the money that he has made it on the Miami Heat. Zero. Zero. I'm curious. The Marlins made money for God's sake.

I'm curious what it's going to take for you to admit that you were wrong about Matthew Kachok, because he broke his sternum in game three. He called that like he. He sent them. He called him Kachok. He sent them to the Stanley Cup finals finals with two seconds left he had three game winners in that in a four game sweet you can't hit him with that he broke his sternum you in the finals we'll get your stat of the day tomorrow thank you mike here to give them gold the finals you
