The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast. I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now here's the marching band to nowhere,

fat face and the habitual liar. This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. A handful of amazing things that will pass for the analysis of the game action last night just so that you have some context on what it is was just completed. Tim Reynolds points out that the Panthers have won two cups in 358 days. The Maple Leafs have won two cups in 22,333 days. You have McDavid in game six and seven last year. He was plus one and zero points.

McDavid in games five and six this year, to Greg's point, minus five and one point. Connor McDavid is the only player in NHL history to have nine straight 90 point seasons, but not win the Stanley Cup in any of them. And then this in Greg Cody's column. I have written and said for two years that mcdavid should not be called mcjesus or the next gretzky are

given goat status because he is a king without a crown look at him swog look at him swinging confidently before before we even get going he's ready because i'm reading his words as poetry and he's never been more right the senile old man wrote in the miami herald an ancient tablet from another time i have written and said for two years that mcdavid should not be called mcjesus or the next gretzky are given goat status because he is a king without a crown the panthers again have verified my claim and serve to underline my admittedly harsh criticism the nickname for mcdavid is just make overrated look at it as a bar standing

from on high like michael jordan after making the six three against portland shrugging his shoulders cuz he can't believe how amazingly right he is craigs it the uh... is it the proudest you've ever been about like a column or or uh... a sports opinion that you've written time i don't know i i have to admit, Zez, I'm not proud of it, because I created Elaine. Nobody else before or since has sort of jumped on board

and said, you know what, he was right, and people still are slow to say it because of that hockey cult I mentioned earlier. But there's no question that by how I define overrated he absolutely is and and like I say I feel more right about that now after this series than I did a year ago when it went to seven games. Well if I can offer just some bit of context here because we are like that's going to end up being the condensed analysis that I don't think is fair to McDavid becauseavid because of what i'm about to say in this series i know six game series and i know that at edmonton one two the games but it could have

easily been a panther sweep right i'd those games like they were played the way edmonton wanted to play them and then by the end of the series we were no longer playing the way edmonton wanted to play however over the course of the series, the Panthers led for more time than anyone's ever led in a series before. Like, it went six games, but Edmonton was trailing

for all but 33 of the minutes in the games. Like, this is an all-time dominance by an all-time team. It was very much done to McDavid. When he says it's not a choke, it's, Barkov happened to him, because on on the third line they've got another guy they're talking about like baby Barkov because he sees the ice the same way and he's also a two-way player and McDavid's great but the Panthers have more of them the Panthers are 15 deep it feels like and they just flogged the two

players that Edmonton had. The Panthers are confidently playing their fourth line and the and you're barely seeing Edmonton's fourth line. How many times did you say last night, amazing shift from the fourth line? It's just like, I said it three or four times last night. And that's the thing, like home ice advantage in the playoffs, what home ice advantage is is that, and Chris will be able to tell you this,

you get last change, okay? Last change. Except the second period. Is an actual home ice advantage where Paul Maurice can make sure Barkov is on the ice as much as possible when he sees McDavid is on there because the Panthers get last change. But here's the thing, it's not that, or it wasn't that big of a deal for the Panthers,

even in the road games, because you got these three lines. And it's like, okay, if we can't get the specific match that we want, it's like okay if we can't get the specific match we want it's okay because we're so confident in our top nine forwards that we can just roll these guys out and that's that's what you saw especially as the series went on man. Calling McDavid overrated after losing to this specific Panthers team the last couple of years it would sort of be like what the reactionary thing would have been if after

Oklahoma City lost to the Big Three Heat that you called Kevin Durant overrated. Now, to say that on the show, we have done that. He has no rings. He was also a lot earlier in his career than McDavid is, I believe, at that time. For sure, for sure. He was early in his career, but he was still well on his way to being not only one of the faces of the league, but it was obvious that he was going to be a legend in the league. And maybe if that had happened four or five years down the line, sure, you could have started having those conversations. But to me, this is just an obvious example with the stats Dan laid out. One team being a whole other galaxy ahead of the other.

You know, last year, after the Panthers won last year, we all would have sat here and said McDavid is definitely going to win a Stanley Cup at some point in his career. Have we changed that opinion after seeing him lose again? Greg said he wouldn't. I was scared of him the entire series and then by the end I had no reason to be. So Greg, I don't want to get you the end I had no reason to be so Greg I don't want to get you excited I don't be accused of starting rumors, but I will say this yesterday Steve Levy

We all know Steve Levy reputable voice of hockey correct. Yeah, I know that guy. Would you agree? He's a reputable voice yesterday He's on great. He was on Jim Rome and he said quote There's a lot of talk within the sport that if they don't win this year McDavid might look elsewhere Greg I think now is the time you start printing up some McJuda shirts and have them go for a year from now Yeah, I'm already putting lighter fluid on on your incendiary Break breaking news really by Billy that go on like David may end up in a Panthers uniform end up in a panthers uniform. Is this as right as you've been compared Greg Cody to how the most wrong you ever were which was the column you wrote trading Dan Marino that then resulted in you doing an interview

from in front of the Miami Herald in which we had to distort your voice and also silhouette you like a whistleblower in the interview because you were so ashamed to show your face. You know about that reality? I saw the column when I walked into the office this week. How hard did you laugh when you saw that? I read the whole thing and I'm aware of it. Now I will serve at the altar of Greg,

so I'm not here to cast stones at one column. What a ridiculous column though. It was a ridiculous column. Marino. Marino and Mitchell. Thank you, Tony. Mitchell. So I'm not here to catch. In this whole conversation, the pride that Greg feels, I want to know the pride that Chris feels in having a dad who could be, well there's the Marino trade. Yes, yes. It's the untaken. Scott Mitchell. Scott Mitchell. I mean, you miss 100% the shots you don't take.

You don't know what haul you would have gotten for Marino too. I mean, in fairness, he didn't bring any Lombardy's down Miami, so thank you. Thank you Billy Thank you, Billy that trade merino column by the way in retrospect is now surrounded by perfume It has a well Trade merino, that's 93 and if I remember correctly Mitchell had a good Thanksgiving game for the Lions soon after that where he was operating at a high level. I don't think that column is put in the office bad. I don't think it is.

I think it's nice to see in the office. I appreciated laughing at it, but I'm not gonna call that the worst column in the history of the Miami Herald. Thank you. You're looking at Dan, do you have one in mind? What a compliment. I only rank Dan's PTI appearances as the worst

in ESPN history, that's all. They're on the internet, Dan, I didn't invent this. The worst oddsmakers of all time, if you go to YouTube right now. You and Skip A-List, come on. That was the low point in oddsmaker history, PTI. We don't need to have that conversation. I wanna get back to Pry.

Yes, yes he did. I was there, I was there. I wanna get back to the Pry. Chris Fields ain't having a father who got everything right and is now seeing things ahead of everybody. Honestly, I am impressed with him because I have felt the pressure the last two years

of the cult my dad speaks of. I've been afraid to agree with him on Connor McDavid because if you do it, all hockey fans attack you. So I will give him credit because everyone has always kind of couched it with he's an idiot for saying it, but he does need to win a title. So you get to be right, dad.

I am proud of you for this take. And by the way, I want to just note almost parenthetically that in the first two games of this series uh... mcdavid had four combined points uh... for sis in the final four games of this series when his team needed a most he had two total points a goal and an assist that's when he really disappeared is is is during crunch time in this series i also want to say one thing about uh... how good this panthers

team is. Okay, Bennett wins the Con Smythe, right? There were five or six, legit, there were five or six players who might have. Can I stop you for just a second here, Greg, just because we're this deep into the show and this is the first any of us would be mentioning of somebody just scored four goals

to separate themselves from everyone else and give a trophy that marshawn was gonna win if he scored those four goals but again first mentioned i'm not kidding when i say this i would when i tell you will hockey fans remember the four goals scored and mcdavid to win ach a second championship there are a lot of times in hockey history you can point to a guy winning

the cons might that the end cuz he scored four goals in the clincher and we could have five other guys that we would say also played almost close to as well right well well to a to a rain hard school for empty netters but not taking away from a four-goal performance and right heart is one of those five or six players who very easily could have won Beacon smith one of them again is Bob Rofsky who I thought was fabulous almost all of this playoff

I wanted him to get that shutout so bad. I know Fans did look at the saddest goal. That was the saddest goal ever. I didn't know what happened It was I was like, you know, wait, you know, wait, did they scored? Oh, there's a one up there Okay But let me tell you why Bob Rouske did not finish higher in the cons my voting then then he did go on the reason The reason is that Florida scored? 94 goals in 23 playoff games more than four per game and the average was higher than that in the final series Florida had a two-nothing lead just about every game

they led in the last five games of this series the pressure on Bob Rofsky was really lowered because this team was so relentless offensively as well as playing terrific defense this final result is not the least bit of a fluke The hugely better team won and made the best player disappear big Lee Get out of here Greg good talking to you. You've been vindicated congratulations, Billy Do you have any advice for him before this white hat podcast put up on the screen by the way? We've dented the most historic and hallowed trophy in sports already. It's been in our hands 12 hours.

We've dented the thing. That's obviously outside the elbow room. That's how it's looked for 50 years. Why does the guy even bother with the gloves and wiping it down after people touch it? It's such a waste of his time, honestly. That's Kachuk, right? I don't know, that could be Forsling.

Yeah. I'm not sure. I think the shipping container is gonna have to offer Kachuk? I don't know, that could be Forsling. Yeah. I'm not sure. I think the shipping container is gonna have to offer Kachuk an apology. He said after the game he tore the abductor off the bone and was dealing with a hernia on the same side of his body. So he was able to play. That's how he started the playoffs and then played

and said got healthier as he played. He's like yeah, I started to get healthy. As he got used to it. Yeah, tore the- He got used to the hernia. Tore the abductor off the bone and also a hernia. Greg, good talking to you. I think Mike Ryan described that as banged up. Yeah, yeah, we expect him to get out there

even though he's banged up. Tony, you were right to point out the positivity of father and son, Chris Cody. It's a beautiful thing, guys. Chris Cody is very happy today. And Cody, I'm gonna allow you now to go to the elbow room about that all that took was praising your dad a little bit of a war and this is what happens positively

begets positive and and thank you tony for bringing the positivity of a championship on arrival of the elbow room somehow and this i didn't think was possible about to get pinker can you talk to me about the other a little bit as somebody who is is from out of town and now I'm seeing images of what looks to be a bomb shelter. Yeah, it's- And I'm not really feeling what it is.

It is minimalistic partying and the story I was trying to tell you before about Zach Thomas that I sort of rushed through is that athletes who represent Broward County and like to be Br broward people aren't necessarily date people wherever it is that miami is this you know divided here and culturally and nationally park a culturally and historically wayne heisinger sort of separated the line between miami and fort lauderdale he

built something sports in fort lauderdale that was for like this panther team in like zack th Trace Armstrong and Jason Taylor before him, for two different Americas. There's Dade County America and then there's Sawgrass Mills, Broward County, Fort Lauderdale America. Ours is crazy ethnic, Fort Lauderdale is largely super white. The Elbow Room is the epicenter and soul of 50 years of white spring break partying from, I don't know, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say Frankie Valley's time whenever spring break was popular in the 70s. So for for 50 years the Elbow Room has been a concrete slab where people party and do

things that are not to be talked about and are to be forgotten as soon as you get outside of the realm of whatever that devil death pin death bin of excess is. It's so great that right after the game, everyone's just tweeting out from everyone all the country elbow rooms going to be lit tonight. Stanley Cup official account asked if Matthew Kachuk was bringing the trophy back to elbow room, but to defend Broward County in our diversity for The Stanley Cup official account asked if Matthew Kachuk was bringing the trophy back to Elbow Room, but to defend Broward County and our diversity for just a second. A plurality is white. 33% white, 31% Hispanic, 27% black. So, you know, there's some diversity, just

a different type of diversity. Improving, improving diversity. And yes, I'm saying Heisengo a long time ago, my information is somewhat dated, it's changed. I also count as Hispanic, so. It's yes, Jeremy. No, Jeremy sound Hispanic to you? Put it on the poll, if you met a Jeremy, would you think he's Hispanic at Levitard Show?

My name was almost a fry him, would that have helped? It's my grandfather's name. Mejord, no. My name was almost Defry him. Would that have helped? It's my grandfather's name. No. Uh so am I uh if we had Mike here, I don't think any of these guys are veterans of the elbow room but Zaslo's got it, right? It's just dirty white excess for 50 years. It's not it that it's a it's a Buffalo Bills bar during the NFL season. Like that's the type of slice of South Florida you're getting. But also I'm guessing the seats are still concrete and it hasn't been updated in 50 years. Since the day it was built. No shot. It's sticky everywhere.

Right. So you still get the Jägermeister on the floor and you're sticking to the floor when you walk through. I got you. Spring breaks for 50 years have washed against that thing and it still stands. All the venereal diseases, all the drugs. And it's spring break every weekend there. Like, whatever you think spring break in Fort Lauderdale is, it's happening at the Elbow Room every single weekend. When it, look, you guys see that what's happening in the world and how dangerous everything is.

The only things that would survive a nuclear holocaust in South Florida are the Elbow Room and Drew Rosenhouse. That place is going to be awesome today because last year no one really thought about it. It's like, whoa, the cup is at elbow room, let's go. And now everyone just knows, everyone is going. I would imagine it's really crowded right now. Where compared to last year, Kachuk arrived with the cup and it's like, there aren't that many people there. Then all of a the sudden that you know we got word of

mouth and i'll show that i think it chuck ran into the ocean with the cup people heard and then went and now it becomes a thing because last year was bark off in the streets with the cop denting it in a golf cart dot you know this is what that the story i was beginning to tell you about the elbow room is so it dolphins would go drinking during the day on uh... weekday and larry is so and zack thomas would think it's smart to try and race to a buoy deep in the ocean and

is a would crap out and zack would get there and not realize that the buoys slippery and he's exhausted and someone's gonna need to rest so we almost or the little linebacker for the miami dolphins is going to drown and he's exhausted and someone's gonna need to rescue or the middle linebacker for the Miami Dolphins is going to drown and nobody's gonna have an explanation and the explanation is gonna be the elbow room. That's what, it's like, that's it. Can you imagine? Dolphin dies at sea, cause of death, the elbow room.

Just show them a picture of the place. They'll understand. Guys, I wanna talk to you about something that I don't think we think about enough on a daily basis. And that's comfort. Specifically when it comes to underwear. Because let's be real, when it's not right, you're going to feel it all day. And that's why I want to tell all of you about Tommy John.

Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container, and this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture. There's a genuine comfort, and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable.

Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all day confidence. If you haven't tried Tommy John yet, I personally think you're missing out. These are the MVP of your underwear drawer, with up to four times more stretch than other brands.

Our Panther group chat, we're confident against the Lightning. This is a different team. You're a Panther group chat though. No, I think there's no, but dude, you're so wrong on that. We've been terrified of this team forever. And I think there's a different energy

where the Panthers, they want the Lightning. Stugats. I want t-shirts made for this Panther run what could be this Panther run our Panther group chat We're not afraid of the lightning. That's a tagline for world rawr three This is the Dunn LeBathar show with the Stugats So Roy and Chris are headed out there and now Billy is in charge air traffic control and I'm worried about what Wild Willy Wednesday is about to become. But Zazlo, where did you party, how did you party and you weren't able to get into the game because you lost an unfortunate bet that I don't remember what it was about.

So that's what happened. I thought we were deciding whether to choose which child is going, but the bets exceeded all that. Well, yeah, I lost, you know, it was supposed to be Shay Gildes Alexander was supposed to get points rebound to sis over 49 and a half. He ended up with 43. My younger son was so mad. He was so mad. So your degenerate gambling resulted in the sons? Yeah, them not being able to go to the game, but that's okay, that's okay. So we watched the game last night at the Zazzle Mansion, in the Zazzle Mansion family room. Me, my two teenage boys, my father, we had three generations of Zazzleos

because we won a Stanley Cup in the Zazzle Mansion family room last year with that crew. My father came over again, we all watched together, had my neighbor, his son, so we had a good crew. My father came over again, we all watched together, had my neighbor, his son, so we had a good crew. All right, we ran it back from game five because that's the group that won game five, so we had to have them back last night to win game six. And we had a great night. There was a, I'm pretty hungover today, it was a lot of action in the Zaslow Mansion family room last night. I don't know where Mike Ryan is today because I'm imagining that this is the team he cares about the most right more than the heat more than maybe. Well hurricanes, are we counting hurricanes? Okay probably

hurricanes now because he's invested but Mike's career in this industry began interning for the Panthers and so when Tony can speak to what it is to grow with something right in a way that connects your lifetime to choices. Mike Ryan chose a life in sports despite the terrible experience he had with management of the Panthers. Yeah, I was going to say, like, it's interesting that that made him love the team so much because they had horrendous management and they were a horrendous team. But it's where his love of sports began and it's where it started the journey toward making

a career in this or thinking that you could. And so he'll forever be grateful to this team and I think he cares about it more than the heat that way. He started liking them when they were good again. Well that's true. He was also blinded by the Marchand this season. They just couldn't get past it and that's that's an unfortunate thing. What I'm trying to observe here just as an outsider is well now we got two and this game in the end wasn't even close. It wasn't.

And now there's something about, look Zazzle, we were saying you have a puff in your chest today. And it's almost like this is old hat. The shirt fits better. Yeah, yeah. He looks different. I got a glow to me.

Is this becoming too familiar? Glad you noticed. No, no, it's something that I could, I can get used to. I can get used to all this. I was wondering that too, Tony, because like, Zazz probably experienced this differently because he was working for the heater,

with the heater, however you wanna say it at the time. For the championship. Right? Yeah, so at the end of the big three run, the people won't admit this, but I'll tell you, I'll shoot you straight. At the end of the big three run, there was won't admit this, but I'll tell you, I'll shoot you straight. At the end of the big three run, there was a bit of like championship fatigue. Like year four, there was kind of like,

people were not as excited about the big three in LeBron anymore. The games were still sold out, but the tickets weren't as hard to get as they were before. It was an easier ticket to score. You could go to the games, you could see them if you wanted to. Right, so now you're inventing side quests.

Now it's not just about the championship, it's about one particular route that we can go. Yeah. You're just expected to be in the finals every year. You went three straight. This is where the Panthers find themselves exactly where the Heat were after year three. Three straight appearances in the championship round, two straight championships. Now you're going potentially for a three-peat, but there was a feeling there with the Heat

that I'm wondering if there is for the Panthers here It's not the same because in the NBA or it the NBA is not like that now I mean we're we're gonna have seven consecutive unique champions in the NBA But back then we all knew at the start of the season the heat are gonna be in the finals The heat are gonna be in the finals here in the boss in the Panthers no matter how good they are like we'll go into next Season I can't sit here and say Panthers are definitely gonna be the finalist. The Panthers, no matter how good they are, like we'll go into next season, I can't sit here and say, Panthers are definitely gonna be back in the Stanley Cup final.

That's the charm of this team though. Again, you guys are living it, you're breathing it, I'm watching it from afar. I'm seeing a team that I don't know if they're the best team on the ice. I don't know it until I see it with my eyes. And now I'm gonna say some stuff about Greg Cody here that I wouldn't say to his face

because he should be crowing the way that Greg's going to crow. I don't think McDavid is overrated. I think this is the worst possible matchup for him in a big spot. I do. So I think styles make fights and this has become one-sided this matchup, this rivalry now that we have and it's the worst possible matchup for that one particular player. Like Tony they were so good Edmonton throughout the Western Conference playoffs. They had won 13 of 15 games at one point. So here we are with a team that can operate, can be high octane, they could do a lot of things but you get one

matchup and for me it's probably McDavid Barkov. It's something of that nature and then it's the second and third line that has a very defensive forward position. That's what makes this team different. And that's all it really takes to elevate to the next level. This is going to now be viewed as an all-time team. I absolutely think it is. But when you're going through a season, you're not going to say they're light years ahead of everybody else. They're not.

Until you see it on the ice against a particular opponent. And that's domination. As you have the stat in front of you, Dan. They led by more minutes than any other team in 70 years and then and then it went on to be the all-time record. Oilers led after one period this series. Yeah so that doesn't happen that just doesn't happen and it doesn't happen to the Oilers you can in hockey take away a team's best player but this particular matchup and it gets down to Barkov for me what he does to McDavid is that's the one

Solve that no one else in the league has he was amazing It's not like you have a copycat like we get bark. Yeah, you can get a bark off Maybe Florida has a mini bark off on their third line, but but until you get one there's no copycat It's hard to get a bark off to the comparison point of the of the Miami Heat of the big three You look at what that was in those four years was wall-to-wall coverage on ESPN on every platform you could mention there was wall-to-wall coverage of the Miami Heat We talked about the Panthers for Nationally for three minutes. Hey, they won they're already on to the NBA finals

They're already on to what's happening in training camp for the NFL. It's different where nobody's talking about the Panthers So how can you get fatigue about something you don't talk about? It's different where nobody's talking about the Panthers, so how can you get fatigue about something you don't talk about? Well, let me explain why it is the show will be doing what it is doing throughout the day to day for four hours straight. Kachuck has been asked if the Panthers are a dynasty, and he says, hell yeah, absolutely. There have only been three back-to-back champions in our city's history. It's LeBron's team, it's the undefeated Dolphins.

If you're a back-to-back champion in our city, it's not University of Miami, right? It's professional sports. Keynes didn't win back-to-back either. No, excuse me. Sorry, I thought they had won one. They did think it robbed. I thought they had won two in a row. You're right. So the Panthers enter a class that there are only three of in the city's history, and the oilers were outscored by the panthers thirteen to four in the first period in the series including nine nothing last four games so

what Tony was saying about thirteen or fifteen the or less started the playoffs down or two to the kings and we're down in the last five minutes of games three and four and then just reeled off something that could have been should have won the championship playing that way except it ran into tony saying the one thing you couldn't run into where your best players suffocated by their guy and then the the ten guys by the david stopper i mean that's basically it was what we would talk it

you never want back-to-back champions obsessed uh... for for journalists of the of the year in in on the two-time champion broadcaster yeah and that was back-to-back so yeah so that's another dynastic before you guys here and i i failed to ask great cody he's made brad williams his former friend now and what's that about former friend because brad williams went on the white hat podcast and great code is is feeling himself these days billy how are you feeling in that uh... in the role there because i thought i wanted you to give me the ability to play the sounder, your Wild Willy Wednesday sounder

on this thing, because when you ask Zazz if he's already tired of championship fatigue, it's an asinine thing to ask him. No, it's not. That was a real thing that happened with the Heat. People just assumed they were gonna be in the finals every year, and odd as it took for granted the last finals appearance,

cause you just assumed LeBron will be back, this is gonna go on forever and then boom, just like that he's watching a soccer game, not listening to Pat Riley and he's gone. And the whole thing falls apart. Chris Bosh then has his kidney thing and he's gone. Dwayne Wade gets in a fight with Pat Riley, he's gone, just like that, boom.

You know what I mean? It all evaporated very quickly. is the kidney though it's always a whatever blood clots for gosh tomato tomato one thing can kill you the other thing could kill you the same thing yeah I mean guys how does it always devolve into this death grief mourning literally and figuratively how does it always devolve into that for you guys I thought you? I thought I thought we should have played a game called around the morn and it could have been around grief and Alonzo morning trivia Idea yeah of all the ideas you've had that's one of them What else did you want to play around the porn? Of course you do

Did you want to play around the porn? Of course you do But instead he wanted to do positive around yes around the Bjorn around maybe oh man baby Bjorns are awesome by the aren't they Tony listen come on the relief on your neck and shoulders right here time anytime I put her in the baby Bajoran. Yeah, she takes a shit It's incredible. She's a little constipated put in the baby Bajoran. You're still at that age where it smells great, right six months Yeah, yeah, once you what because you're not on solids solids down a bit. I'm a little worried pre solids baby poop It smells like wayawa. It is absolutely. I'm not gonna lie to you Dan Tell you I've smelled it a bit like oh god, it's almost I would say playing rollatini I mean, it's it's a wonderful. I mean there there is there it a bit like, hmm. It's almost like what I would say, playing rollatini.

I mean, it's a wonderful, I mean, there is a freshness to it. There is. You're saying- It's still a new experience. You're saying the first, if you tell me the first six months of baby poop scent is Waiara, it smells nice. Yes. It smells fine. I think it is built in humans

so we don't discard our children. In the cave. I don't remember it. In the cave. You don't remember it. I don't remember it. It's been a long time for you those eyes. I think it smelled terrible.

No, it doesn't smell for a while. When it starts smelling though, it hits you and you're like, oh boy, what did I do? But that's solid zone. But Dan started this with he wants to talk about playing around, you said around the porn. Or something. So you came up with questions overnight,

you were writing questions, you were doing research and everything? Or around the morn, a trivia game about grief and trivia about Alonzo Mourning. What's the trivia about grief? Like who shot JFK? Like what are you doing? It's not a real idea.

What's the saddest part of life? Do you pick which question you want? Like something about Mour morning or something about morning? That's the joke you never know which one's coming A lot of zoe stats there for you. Yeah, you don't know whether the question is gonna be a serious super serious grief question That's gonna make you sad. Would you attend their funeral or is it gonna be about Alonzo morning? You know where what was the name of the woman who raised him? Would you attend their funeral is an interesting game segment though.

We thought of some games we could play, early days of PTI. This is, you know, when we were together doing party interruption, Dan, and who would you rather be stuck in an elevator with? But would you attend their funeral? It's a great game. Is an interesting game. Well, we've been playing it here,

should we play it with Tony Reale? Should we play the, Nah, you don't been playing it here. Should we play it with Tony Reale? Should we play the? He wants to play he thinks it's a game he would be at everybody I'm not the one to play. I'm yeah But you don't think I can put someone for you right on the line. You don't think I can put it They would call me mr. Three to five seven to nine How long three to five seven to nine I'll be there for both shoulders. How long is your message in the book that you write? You flip the page with your goodbye message.

This is something we touched upon at South Beach Sessions. Let me go ahead and tease that. We got to this. What I write? what i read my writer i like to write cards out to people i'm in the process of doing that if we had the finale to the tv show but i had a change i had a take myself and my mind over what i would want for myself and think you know what actually what i should be writing for somebody who's in that position

this how i feel about something isn't necessarily a someone else to feel about something and that's what we get to he gets to the core of that South Beach Sessions coming out tomorrow we've we broken the top of the cup as well now there's more news that's that's not a that's a rest situation so the cup has been in our hands for 12 hours and the bottom of it is dented the most hallowed trophy in sports also we've just broken the top of it. Break that shit. That's our cup two years in a row break that shit. Break it and bury it under the remains of one of you city at Sawgrass Mills Mall.

Who cares? The guy with the white hair is gonna come back with another one. This is the Stanley Cup. No we've got eight of them sorry. Break, break that shit. Yeah, actually Tony you're right about this We learned the last time the cup was here most hallowed trophy in sports We interviewed the guy who protects it and then I think someone whispered. Yeah, they're like a dozen of them It's like this is the fake one. It's like then why is he treated with so much respect? I can't touch it. There are 12 guys running around with 12 trophies and whatever they'll make 12 more break that shit We're gonna break all of them. We're gonna keep 12 trophies and whatever, they'll make 12 more. Break that shit.

We're gonna break all of them. We're gonna keep breaking. I'm gonna tell Chris, when he gets to the elbow room, break that shit. That's not right. That's disrespectful, Canada can't be liking that Florida treats the trophy that way. Hold that.

No, that's not cool, Tony. You don't care about hockey, you don't respect the company. He's got a shirt and a hat. Who has more hockey stuff right now than me? Yeah. Literally who? Nobody. Not one person. I'm wearing sk stuff right now than me? Yeah Nobody not one person I'm wearing skates right now

It's one of your sons at the elbow room my 16 year old dead elbow right now What like with a fake that can't be what do you mean don't blow up a spot? They're gonna look for the for the young Zazzle Oh, if they're not gonna let him in the doors like he's outside like they're bringing the cup right outside walking on the beach Oh, my son's there.

Put it on the pole please Juju at LeBotard Show. Does baby poop smell fine slash nice? Until we get to solid foods, right? Then it changes. Until we get to

solid foods. I believe the next incarnation of Tony reality's life will have a lot of parent, I hope it has a lot of parent It will stuff in it. Yeah, although I I learned during the South Beach session that you mentioned I did not realize that you were still at ESPN Well, but you're not on air anymore moment I'm not on there I'll be happy to he sees my he's my co-worker colleagues Well, I don't have the back to back broadcaster of the year awards. Nobody's perfect.

Neither does he. But you're going to be on the air these next couple of months? Oh, I mean, any conversation would be fine. I mean, I'd be happy to work. I'm happy to work. I'm here to work. Okay, I'm sorry, no, but I'm just saying,

I don't understand, you don't understand, none of us understand. It's not been explained well by anybody why we would cancel a very popular show but I was talking the other day about like the idea and and look I'm not gonna put Tony in the bad spot here it seems like you are no I'm just gonna explain this part to the audience because to the degree that you should care about something that has been carefully crafted and deserves to be curated and treated with respect because tony bill

one of the rarest things there is an audience uniquely sort of his that will go with him because they like the man that he grew up to be over twenty three years you did how many shows four thousand nine hundred was four thousand i did a fifty three episodes yeah alright so you were forty seven from five thousand and just where it is the corporations get a little careless brian gumpel brian gumbel was uh... one year on the best sports television show there is from thirty years hb o real sports it gets twenty nine years

the idea that he's being paid right now but there are not shows when he could have gotten a five thousand i don't think about what okay well i don't know i don't know i don't know i that. Okay, well I do, I do. I'm not, you haven't said this to me. I'm saying this because it just- Nobody knows what episode you're on today right now though. You're 20 years of DLS. What episode is it?

You don't even know what episode you're on. I don't know, but YouTube.com slash at Tony Reale is where you will find stuff that he will be doing to keep Around the horn alive Oh for a little bit, but I'm gonna be cooking in there. Is this part of around the morn right now? That's a good game It's a it's a good game worse game of ever. Yeah, it's a game. So do you want you prefer to do around the porn? neither's option

around the Bjorn I'm in because Tony Tony when you you were doing the Bjorn and you were putting the baby in something But I thought the Bjorn we wore it here, right? Like the baby Bjorn is the actual the the brand name of it. They have different products I'm doing the one that's like it's almost like a sling that she sits in on the floor So I'm tired of holding her put her right on there and then she sits down in it and it kind of this is new for me I'm the rap I'm a rap myself in my human my little human rap myself Tony's not Tony Kaladiud is not he's not describing a Bjorn no describing something else that the baby

poops in baby Bjorn is now a full line of right correct accoutrement and yeah so mine is the bouncer right so she Mine is the bouncer, right? So she sits in the bouncer, and then she can bounce herself. And then I think at the angle, she's like, ooh, I like this. It's almost like a squatty potty for the baby, because she starts realizing, wait a second. This position, I can kind of let things rip. Boom, she lets it rip.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to take the thing out and change it, because it poops everywhere. But we can look for a Baby Bjorn bouncer which is what I have. So a Bjorn can be a Bjorn or a Bjorn can be a bouncer but a bouncer can't be a Bjorn. Unless it's made by the company. Well right, that's right, yeah. Unless the guy working in the Elba room's name is Bjorn.

Is this the type of stuff you like for Zoo Crew Radio? Is that type of humor? Is that what we do Zoo Crew Radio? It's Zippy and the Juice, we're back after this.
