Local Hour: So, It's 70, Right?

Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

Cuervo.

What are you doing here?

Cuervo.

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Cuervo.

So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Cuervo.

This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Strike, strike, spare,

4-3 open frame.

9 spare.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Okay.

I'm glad you said that.

All right.

It's consuming my life.

All right.

It's all I was able to think about all day yesterday.

All right.

I need this out of my life.

I need to know how we are going to score this, Israel.

Yeah.

I got a question for Chris because if you go strike, strike nine and you finish it off with a spare, the nine doesn't matter.

Great question.

Okay, great question.

I guess you're right because when you get a strike, it's the following two shots.

That's right.

So you're right.

All right.

Great question.

So I...

I couldn't sleep last night.

I was laying awake.

I'm staring at the ceiling.

All right.

You should have just imagined your son ran away.

You would have slept like a baby.

I'm losing sleep over this.

This is, this is,

it's, it, we need to figure this out, all right?

So, yesterday I was very confident, Israel, that I can score by hand.

And here's where I got confused.

So, I'm glad you brought this up.

Here's where I got confused because the scenario that you gave me to figure out how to score bowling by hand,

first four frames, come up with a score.

Strike, strike, spare, 4-3, open frame.

then people were messaging on Twitter like Zaslow you gotta know what the first roll was in the third frame with the spare like no you don't because you're working off a strike and a strike you get the entire frame so

that's where I screwed up because the strike okay you get the whole next frame but we were working off of two strikes here.

So you do need to know Israel the first role in the third frame where you get a spare Because what happens when you get a strike, Mike, you get the next, not just the next frame necessarily, you get the next two rolls.

And so if you get a strike, all right, that's one roll.

So the first shot in the next frame, which was a spare, you get that for the bonus points.

Also,

that's where I screwed up.

Now, what do I have to do to have a bowling ball assassinate a pin that looks like JFK?

You got to go back to Don Carter bowling, Lanes.

Thank you.

All right.

I didn't bring out another one.

I didn't bring out another one, by the way.

I'm going to keep that one in the wraps.

Way too soon.

There's another one.

I mean,

that was crazy.

It really was.

If that was today, if Don Carter Bowling Lanes had on the videotron a bowling ball which posed as a sniper in a building and killed in a motorcade a pin which had the face of John F.

Kennedy Jr.

and the one next to it had the face of Jackie O'Neill.

So she's drawn in face.

She didn't have the face.

Yeah, she had a little bit of a face.

Yeah, she had the deal deal she was wearing.

You knew it's Jackie Owen.

Yeah, but we needed the face for JFK.

It wasn't insinuated strong enough that that was a Jack One.

It's kind of like the South Park treatment of Donald Trump, where it's a bigger deal if they put your face on it instead of animate it.

Well, they put his face on the JFK pin.

You're so right.

They put the face on the other one.

You're so right about that because when the South Park Trump premiere was a couple of weeks ago, it was shocking when Trump turned around in the chair and it was his face.

Hey, relax.

And they got the penis and everything.

So, all right.

So here,

there it is.

Oh, my goodness.

There it is.

Look at that bowling animation from Don Cotter Bowling Lanes, apparently, in the 90s.

If that was today, that's on the national news.

Of course.

And the one that Tony has hidden is worse than that somehow.

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

Oh, yeah.

Is that when it comes up?

It's a spare.

Right.

So when you hit...

Oh, any spare.

Any spare It's a spare animation.

That was obviously the JFK one.

Again, 30 years removed.

You'd figure it.

You figure we're over it?

There's a little bit of a runway there that you're going to be.

John McDermott loves that animation.

The second bowling ball has hit the pins.

Bowling loves historic events.

We'll just put it that way.

All right.

You ready?

So let's do this.

All right.

Once and for all, let's do this.

Strike, strike.

Now you gave me spare, Chris.

What's the first roll?

It was a nine spare.

Nine spare.

Very important.

And then fourth frame, a four, and then a three.

All right, here we go.

Second open frame.

Everybody ready?

We following along.

We're doing this as a team.

All right.

So since we got a nine in that third frame, you're going to add a bonus of 19 to the first frame, which gives you in the first frame, everybody say at the same time,

29.

That's right.

Now, what's the second frame going to be?

Okay, well, we got a spare in that third frame.

So add that bonus on right there.

That's going to be 20, so it's going to be for a score of 49.

Chris was about to say 39.

I saw that.

Okay, you're already losing at this game.

And then to figure out the score of the third frame, you got a four in the fourth frame, working off of a spare, add a bonus of four.

That equals 63.

63.

And then Israel, this one's easy.

You don't even need to have your abacus.

Add seven to 63, and your score in the fourth frame is.

You're still doing the abacus joke, huh?

70.

70.

70.

And that right there, use whatever online bowling calculated jeditas you want.

Your score after those four frames is seven.

So sadly.

Stupid ass game.

Does this or does this not confirm what I told you before?

Is when we were younger, we were pretty much guessing.

And at the end of the game, it was like, I think you won, but if it was like a one or two point game, there's no chance that was correct.

correct.

That's a stupid ass game.

Now,

is that stupider, or is the way they keep scoring tennis stupider?

Ah, tennis.

Come on.

Tennis is that's a great point.

Let's do this.

Dumbest sports in terms of scoring.

It has to be tennis.

I mean,

golf made up words.

I read that recently as the reason as to why they have those numbers, and it made more sense at the time.

It just didn't stick.

I kind of forgot.

They're like this first point.

Let's go with 15.

What was wrong with one?

What is the reason?

Explain it.

I'm very curious.

You guys have a little conversation.

I'll look it up.

The second point is 30.

What was wrong with two?

All right, we're cooking with 15s here.

So the next one has to be.

Right, right.

I'll clear.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

We're going 40.

Wait, but why wouldn't it be 45?

And then

if it's tied, okay, we're going to call this deuce.

Deuce, I actually like.

I like the love, too.

I like love.

Love is good.

And I like deuce.

But the 15, 30, 40, what are we doing there?

Exactly.

Explain that.

There's a couple theories.

There's the clock face theory.

In the early days of tennis-like games, the clock face was sometimes used to track scores.

But that would be 45.

Each point would be...

I'm not done yet.

Each point would move the minute hand quarter all the way 15, 30, 45.

The 45 was later shortened to 40 to allow for deuce and advantage, where players need to win two consecutive points from a score of 40-40 to win the game.

There's another theory.

This one's French-related.

It's based on the scoring system evolving from a French game, Jeu de Paume, where players would move forward on a court a certain distance with each point, eventually leading to the 15, 30, and 40 scoring system.

The term love for zero is believed to have originated from the French word leuf, egg, which resembles the shape of a zero.

Ah, fun.

Or stupid.

So French shit, basically.

Stupid.

Jeremy, good to see you today.

You weren't here yesterday.

You got some observations from yesterday's show?

Yeah, I do.

I watch along the show every day that I'm not here and constantly sitting there by myself going, why did they say that?

So I do have a top five here of just sort of observations.

Like out of context, why did they say that?

Or like you're going to tell us why they said that and be like, why the hell did you say that?

Combination of both.

Sorry, Chris started making fun of my voice and I got distracted.

Number five,

intimating that workplace equality has been fixed when the first question we asked Jessica, who's not a Taylor Swift fan, was about Taylor Swift.

I'll take full credit or blame for that.

In our defense,

she said she wanted to talk about it.

Number four.

That's what I thought.

And then I started off about, Jessica, you're a good person to ask this.

Yeah, your setup wasn't great, but she did want to talk about it.

Listening to Mike say that developing handshakes was a really important trait and why Carson Beck would be the number one pick.

I actually buy that.

That's team chemistry.

That's like the vibes.

You know the opposite of team chemistry?

Look at that posture from Mike as he listens to Jeremy.

He's top five.

I'm just saying we dunk on me for the power of friendship.

It's basically the same thing.

Saying this person's telling us how to do our jobs.

He's the only person that said a slur into the microphone this weekend.

Number three:

the reaction to a great young player existing for the Marlins being, when are we trading him?

I think we're Marlin's.

That joke's tired, right?

It's just a tired joke.

That's low-hanging fruit.

I mean, come on.

Pay attention to this group.

Have you put out a notes app apology to the Irish?

Number two,

saying

sometimes cops can be wrong.

A little more than sometimes.

And number one,

hold on, hold on.

A quote.

Hold on.

So we go 50-50 on sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't.

What's the

75%?

What do I say?

Mostly, most leader.

Show me your formula.

Show me your data.

I feel like that's a major status.

That's a made-up stats, Jeremy.

It's a totally amazing stat.

You know who else makes up stats?

The cops.

Number one.

I think it's 50-50.

Either they're right or they're wrong.

That's 50-50.

Hearing the quote,

I'm not cancer shaming, but.

That's just.

Is that Jerry Jones?

I'm listening.

Contextually, if it was Jerry Jones, then I guess it's okay.

That's a play on.

Yeah, it's I'm not cancer shaming.

However, and that was David Sampson speaking about Jerry Jones.

So Jeremy hates the cops and the Irish.

Wow.

And cancer patients.

If you're an Irish cop, look out.

I mean, he has a camp, too.

It's crazy.

Look, every football game game is a grind.

I don't really want to end up in a situation where I need to do so.

For me, simply safe becomes the way I want to protect my home.

Because not only is there like the personal peace of mind of knowing that my security is preventative, it's not just an alarm after an event, I want to make sure that my wife is okay, that my cats are okay, that everything I have in my home is okay, and knowing that I have to deal with like the stress or the violation of someone potentially breaking into my home and reacting to it versus having the control and safety of proactive prevention is huge for me.

Most security systems only react after a break.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan.

Those sprinklers are starting to slowly come up on the football field.

Time that we have with summer is dwindling.

I'm sure you're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer, already reminiscing about the good times that you have.

I know I did.

And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white can of Miller Light in my hand because I love making good times during the summer a Miller time.

And it's a good reminder, we're losing time on this summer.

So why don't you share the moments that you have with a white can of Miller Light like I have?

Whether it's a long weekend or a full-on vacation, it is the perfect time to get the crew back together.

And since 1975, Miller Light has been the go-to way to stock the cooler and celebrate those moments.

This year marks 50 years of Miller time.

50 years of great taste, great friends, and unforgettable memories.

Don Lebatard.

Sugar daddies.

These things, I'm telling you.

I love sugar daddies.

I like dunking your teeth.

Like, you can't chew them.

They're like impossible to chew.

They are impossible to chew.

Stugats.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Can we just stop for a moment and acknowledge that I'm in here with the freaking gun show?

I mean, what is going on?

Look at Israel.

Not only is he...

Look at what he was doing today.

I mean, he's oiled up, too.

He's oiled up.

I don't think he is.

That's just the lighting.

I'm right next to him.

Buddy is shiny.

All right.

He is oiled up, looking all kinds of jacked.

Why didn't you dress like this when we went on our matinee movie dates?

You didn't ask me to, babe.

Honolulu Blue is kind of running out of my closet.

And I have this t-shirt, which I don't even feel like I qualify to wear.

I am not two C's thick.

Like, I'm a little kicked out, but I'm certainly not two C's thick.

And yeah, I just had no choice because everything else is is dirty.

So I'm running out of Hadalula Blue.

Now, the two C's thick, that's on Israel's shirt for those of you who are not watching.

The two C's thick, that's a good kind of thick, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is there a bad kind?

Well,

yeah.

Yeah, there is.

Like, your health is in danger.

He's talking more pog.

Yeah.

If you're talking arteries, like thick is not good.

But when you're talking, you know, body, I think thick is good for you.

I would think a thick artery, there's more room for the blood to flow.

No, but it's like your artery is so stuffed up with like thick stuff.

Yeah, that's not good.

You want blood flowing through the artery.

Not stuffed with thick stuff.

Definitely want blood flow everywhere.

Yeah, I know, man.

That's what I'm saying right now.

Honolulu.

Especially the feet.

That's what the big dog says.

There was a practice update.

Yeah, man.

Dolphins clap back, Izzy.

Did they, though?

This is what kind of drove me crazy yesterday.

Like, we did the whole thing, and, you know, social posted it here, and we talked about how bad the practice was for the dolphins, and how I'm pretty sure they're going to have a terrible season.

But it wasn't just based off of that.

It wasn't it wasn't because my experience with the dolphins is based on 40 years, right?

It's not based on that.

And when the dolphins had a strong beginning of the second joint practice, people are like, what do you think now?

How about now?

Way to overreact to one practice.

Look, I'm not overreacting to one practice.

I'm properly reacting to years and years of Dolphins' mediocrity and mediocrity.

And frankly, just kind of being terrible sometimes.

And that's the path that they're going down.

If we put those two practices as one, Dolphins are a second half team.

No, no, no, no, no.

Because they were only good for like the first half of the second practice.

Good third quarter team.

Right, so they're going to lose 27-6 and score those six quarters in the tech.

The opposite of the heat.

Because the Lions started off poorly, but then they just picked it up.

And then by the end of it, they had a goal line situation in 11 on 11s where they scored three consecutive times.

Hell yeah.

And then when they went to 11 on 11s, back at the 50 yard line, very first play, 50 yard touchdown to Jameson Williams.

It's just Williams or Williamson.

It is just...

Williams.

It doesn't matter.

It's the same exact Dolphins.

They just got a little bit better because the defense got a little bit heated after getting toasted the day before, but then the Lions were right back at it and they looked fine.

No one's over.

Yes, so apparently yesterday in the second joint practice, the Dolphins looked significantly better than they did the day before.

It was all, oh, they took it personally.

You know, like Bradley Chubb said after the practice, we didn't like the way, you know, Wednesday went.

We took it personally, and we wanted to show them

we're going to get back to dolphin football.

Okay, fine.

So, apparently, they did look better yesterday, and some reports I saw said they even won yesterday's joint practice session with the Lions.

What is Dolphin football?

I don't know.

Were they fast?

What is their identity?

I know what they're aspiring to be, which is run counterculture to preconceived notions.

Well, they lost Alexander Madison for the season.

Oh, so what?

They've never had a negative.

They literally never have.

No, no, but my point is just that they don't have

the bigger back, right?

So it's still A-chan.

And A-chan has been the best back in these two.

He was the only really good portion of the offense in the first practice between the two teams because of his speed, because you get him out of the space.

So they've got a good situation there, but they need something else to balance that out.

They need the thunder with the lightning if they're going to be a running team.

And when you have Tyreek Hill, you shouldn't really be a running team.

So it's the running game is just a little confusing.

Just find any other play on that goal line than the corner fade to Tyreek Hill.

I hate that shit so much.

And he's not even big.

Like St.

Brown had one of those, and this is one, it ended up being an incompletion, but it was a great pass and a great route.

And he beat the corner.

He just went for a one-handed catch and didn't catch it.

I think he went for the crowd reaction.

So it would have been an even worse series or would have been an even worse day for the Dolphins.

But I would say if you look at by the end of the day, I don't think the Dolphins won that second joint practice.

I think there was a double overreaction yesterday because you had an overreaction to what was believed to be our overreaction of the Dolphins being terrible the first day of joint practice.

Meaning, nobody was overreacting to the Dolphins looking horrendous in Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions.

This is based off of, and I'm not even going to go what you're talking about, Israel, which is the last 20 plus years.

I'm just talking about what we've seen over the last year and this offseason and this training camp and leading up to this week.

So there was like an overreaction to the overreaction.

No one here is overreacting to the Dolphins' lousy play against the Lions.

It's all of it.

It's Jalen Ramsey talking about the coach.

It's we're back.

Mike McDaniels going into his fourth year with the team and we're talking about culture.

Fourth year?

And we're talking about culture.

It's Tyreek Hill.

The very first day that he speaks, he's talking about needing to be a leader and then Tua's like, yeah, we don't know if we trust you anymore.

And it's the same stuff happening last week with the Bears.

And the Bears saying, I don't think that team practices well.

It's not about Wednesday against the Detroit Lions.

It's all encompassing, which is why I think, like, if I were to ask you, Israel, better chance Dolphins win 12 games this year or they win four games this year?

It's a way better chance that they win four games.

They might get off to a decent start and have some sort of false hope there, but I think the proof will be in the scores and just how they win.

They might win a couple of games like 18-15 or something like that, but I just don't think there's a chance they go double-figure wins.

They surprise people.

Like, they just keep losing pieces all this time.

And you're just like, where are the quality replacements for those guys?

I'm not sure.

Like, I'm not going to sit here and tell you I think they're only going to win four games.

But if you gave me the choice, I have to pick 12 wins or four wins.

I'm definitely going better chance four wins.

Are we still on the Lions?

This is a good song.

If it's Lions and Dolphins practice, I think it's fair to keep the Lions music.

I mean, we went from Dolphins practice to Dolphins takes.

He referenced Wednesday, though.

We're still good.

Anyone watching Wednesday, the show?

Anyone?

I've got a little boring for me.

Real quick Lions update.

The biggest thing in the news.

Jared Goff was name-dropped during the Taylor Swift interview on the New Heights, and apparently that blew his phone up.

He didn't really say much about it, just today was a big day for him.

Because Taylor admitted that when she first started dating Travis, she thought that like she, because like when she first met him, she's like, oh, so you and your brother play against each other on the field.

What's that like?

And he's like, oh, no, it's offense versus offense.

There's no way.

She would never be.

She claims that she didn't know position.

She didn't know what a first down was.

And now she's like talking about coverages.

She's like, now I know cover two and man.

No, I understand that maybe she doesn't know the rules, doesn't know how first downs work.

I get that, but she didn't know that there's offense and defense in football.

She was just like, everyone's on the court.

Like, yeah, they play offense and defense, but yeah, they don't leave the field.

And then they were like, that would be crazy.

Jared Goff playing defense.

If you watch basketball, right?

You play both sides of the ball.

If you don't really watch much football, you might think

Jared Goff and Josh Allen was what her example was.

Like, oh, I just thought they went up against each other.

My takeaway is maybe mix in the medium brown.

Too much dark brown.

We're not in fall yet either.

What about the lions on Thanksgiving?

Don't they sometimes wear the brown?

They got like that alternate brown uniform, right?

The lions?

It just accentuates the entradas, which are a creeping.

Do you know who he's talking about?

No.

Okay.

I'm faking it though, man.

Just trying to keep holding it.

I don't know if you were in the Just for Men chat, but you were proudly Just for Men agnostic.

Hold on a second.

There's a Just for Men chat.

is there's a chat for everything's chat for everything pal ham chat just for men i could literally say anything

ham sandwiches there is a sandwich chat there's a meat chat too which that could go in either one yeah

wow i'm confused by the just for men chat it's strictly hair talk

it's uh it's

calling it's calling out people that have done stuff whoa i need in that sandwich chat by like teeth also canon for just for men that's what you mean by done stuff like it if i see somebody on tv that i think is uh you know, maybe dipping into the dark brown, hmm,

that could be taken a different way.

Like Colin did.

But yeah, like Colin.

Like, you know, you remember Colin Coward's initial FS1 promo shots?

Yes, crazy.

Yeah, like that.

That'll get it.

It wasn't just promo shots.

He did the show like that.

Yeah.

He looked like a week.

Yeah.

Well, that's because it like keeps a while.

He grew out.

That was crazy.

I'm pretty sure now we're not allowed to put that color in our foods anymore.

So,

is anyone like me in this regard to is this still Lions?

All right, I'll turn it off.

Hey friends, it's Jare Bear here, and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which is now a legit nationwide 5G network.

So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country.

Not even once.

Not even if Mr.

Boost Mobile himself asked me to.

There is nothing funny about it.

Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across 99% of America.

Seriously.

Don Lebatard.

It sounds to me like everybody could use a hug because a hug is always the right size.

Stugats.

All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and an entire cup of go-to-the-pedal box.

Don't let him fool you.

He said in the break that he's jittery.

This is the Dan Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Is anyone like me in this regard to Dolphins fandom?

Where I'm a dolphin fan, obviously, my whole life, but I don't, like, I don't get emotional about it anymore.

I don't, I don't lose sleep over it.

When I was a teenager, man, if the Dolphins lost, you can't talk to me about the game until Wednesday.

They didn't get you back a couple years ago when we were good for like a year?

I don't think there's anything to get me back for.

Meaning...

You probably would have said that about the Panthers at one point, though, no?

And they got you back.

That wasn't the same.

No, it's not the same because my...

Like, I never had...

There was never anything to get emotional about with the panthers they were always shitty you know okay so yes i get you the dolphins had you here the dolphin the panthers never had you up there right right and like i wanted to get to that place and finally after 30 years i'm in that place you know so not the game seven lost to new jersey not the

islanders i was i was very upset uh well i wasn't very upset about the game seven lost to jersey because like man we're back in the playoffs and this was a lot of fun sucks that we lost you know but all right uh the game against the islanders troach was tripped everybody knows that i was very angry after that game especially because I had tickets for game seven.

All right.

I was very angry at that Islander series.

All right.

But with the Dolphins, I stopped allowing it to make me crazy because I felt like the team didn't deserve my emotion.

They didn't deserve ruining my week.

So I lost that part of my Dolphin fandom.

I don't think I'm ever going to get it back.

And that's okay.

Like, I'm okay with not losing sleep over something.

Like, I lose sleep over the heat.

I lose sleep over the Panthers.

I don't need to also lose sleep over this.

You'll get it back.

You'll get it back as soon as they're in a divisional round at home.

You will be in

the turn

if they lose that game.

So maybe, maybe you're right.

But what does make me angry is situations like this, where you have former players who wind up talking shit about the Dolphins.

when they leave the team.

Does that make you angry as in you're defending the Dolphins?

It's like, hey, don't talk shit about my team.

I'm allowed to talk about my team.

You're not allowed to talk about my team unless you've actually earned it.

Like, if someone who was here for like...

He played for the team.

You didn't.

Like, if, okay, but...

But today, a player who's no longer on the team.

For instance, we saw the Jalen Ramsey stuff the other day, and that bothers me, but it wasn't that bad, all right?

But take, for instance, Dolphins last year had a safety play for them called Jordan Poyer.

That was what he was called?

He was a longtime Buffalo Bills safety.

So obviously, hate his guts for all those years, but now he's on our team last year, thought it was a really good signing until we learned, oh, this guy is totally washed.

All right.

Like Thurman Thomas was.

It's so similar to Thurman Thomas.

Like, we got Thurman Thomas at the end of career after he was killing us all those years of Marino.

He would always lose the playoff game in Buffalo.

Every time he touched the ball, seven yards.

It couldn't stop the screen pass.

Thurman Thomas screen pass, automatic 12-yard gain every time.

And then finally comes to play for us.

Nice.

guess what he sucked when he came and played for us and then he talked shit afterward all right you you're not allowed to do that okay because for instance israel's oh he played for the team I didn't if you asked Thurman Thomas today do you care about the Miami Dolphins he's gonna tell you get the hell out of my face

and if you ask me do I care about the dolphins I'm gonna say yes I do if it's Zach Thomas oh he can say whatever he wants okay so it's not all players of course so just the ones who just sort of had a cup of coffee with Miami yeah and really shouldn't be able to say you're not allowed to talk about the dolphins Zach Thomas wants to say something Tim Bowens wants to say something Pat Sertan wants to say something have at it playa but Jordan Poyer All right Jordan Poyer yesterday on Instagram.

All right.

You'll be able to see this if you're watching on video where he was gifting a Bills fan a fan looks like Jordan Poyer's on vacation somewhere maybe and he gifts a Buffalo Bills 21 Jordan Poyer jersey.

Seems like a really nice thing to do.

Okay, great.

This is posted on Instagram.

And then in the comments, someone comments with, guess they didn't want that dolphin jersey, huh?

And Jordan Poyer responds with, I don't even want that.

What if that's self-deprecating?

What if he knows that he was garbage as a member of the Miami Dolphins and he's making fun of himself?

You think, if you...

If Wonder Woman was with him and she's using the lasso of truth, he's compelled to tell the truth.

You must tell the truth if Wonder Woman puts the lasso of truth around you.

Tell the truth.

You think that if he had a choice between

self-deprecating here, or am I trashing the Dolphins?

You think he's going with,

I'm being self-deprecating.

There is a laughing face emoji attached.

Yeah, he's like, this team sucks.

He's laughing at the dolphins.

If there's no emoji there, I'm with you.

But I just, I don't know.

I'm kind of with Mike on this.

I think there's more context.

When people think of Poyer, they will think of him as a Buffalo Bill.

He closes his career on a down note, not performing well in an opposing team's jersey, a hated rival.

I think that that's self-awareness.

It's not like the normal laughing face.

It's the sideways,

eyes closed.

Like that's playful.

That's a playful emoji right there.

I don't get the jerk.

Like if he would have said, I didn't even want that jersey, meaning like I didn't play well while I was there, I could say, but I don't even want that.

Because I was so bad there.

I'm naturally predisposed to not give Jordan Poyer any grace, knowing what I know about Jordan Poyer, but I think you're being a little hard on the guy here.

Well, I don't think you're allowed to just throw that out.

Do you happen to know that?

Yeah, like what do you happen to know about Jordan Poyer?

Google it, dog.

All right, I won't.

He happens to know.

Great Scott, he happens to know.

He happens to know.

Gather, everyone.

Get the children.

He happens to know.

So wise.

Let's just say we're not ideologically aligned.

I know one thing about Jordan Poyer.

I'm going to leave it at that.

Oh, my God.

He knows.

I'm going to leave it at that.

Yeah.

I know where he wanted to host his golf tournament.

Mine wasn't about that.

Oh, there was another thing, though.

That's what I'm talking about.

Are we alive?

Okay, wait, sir.

Is there anyone else like that where I like, I know the Dolphins suck, and I'll tell you they suck, but I could say whatever I want about the Dolphins.

Guys like Jordan Poyer, and you're right, Roy, guys like Thurman Thomas, they don't get to talk shit.

I feel like I have to defend my team in that spot.

You know what it was like?

It was like a few years ago.

Remember Mo Harkless with the Heat?

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was awful, a horrendous player.

Terrible.

And the Heat ended up trading him some nothing trade.

And like for the entire next year, whenever he had, like, whenever the Heat would lose a big game, you know, he would put out some sny tweet or something.

Like, shut the hell up.

You know, the rest of the league with him is probably like, you realize that almost every player that goes there gets the best out of their themselves and their ability, and you're the one who couldn't.

Nobody's actually agreeing with you on these crazy posts yeah yeah uh Jeremy who is that that soft white guy that was poj that never got in shape that just took constant shots at us Nemanya Bialitza

really yeah remember oh that's right he spent a short period of time oh I completely forgettable we all thought he was gonna be Danilo Galinari what we

I couldn't even tell you I mean at that time yeah I'm really good with, you know, recalling, you know, the years, players, what he did that season.

If my life depended on it right now, I don't think I would be able to give you the year that he played for.

Wasn't it just a few?

Like, it was a few years ago.

They got him from Sacramento at the time, right?

He was like a kind of somewhat offensively skilled big man.

Yeah, he had some good numbers.

We're like the only stop in which he was just terrible.

And he talked shit.

Yeah, he talked plenty of shit.

Listen, I'm going to tell you something.

How do you say his name again?

Nemani Bielizzo?

Let me tell you something.

You absolutely nailed that.

Let me tell you.

I mean, pretending to not know who that is.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's

look at his flex fit.

It's for effect.

All right.

You don't think Zaslo knows everything about Bialitza?

Nemanja Bielitza, you want to talk shit to someone?

Talk shit to me.

Wow.

And those two rings.

It was 11 games in the 2020-21 season.

So it was coming off the bubble.

And then that season obviously ended in disappointment.

The first round exit at the hand of the Bucks.

And he was supposed to be some sort of missing piece.

And, you know, it's a good thing.

The year before they got to the finals, the year after that, they get Bialitza, missing piece.

By the way, if he wants to talk shit to you, he should probably start with the fit of that cap.

Oh, I'm going to put together a top five Zaz that I think you're going to like.

Okay.

I'll love a good list.

Top five Miami Heat F-Boys.

Okay.

All right.

I can get down with that.

All right, well, Mike puts that together.

Jeremy, you were very upset when you got here this morning, not because of the things that you disagreed with from yesterday's show when you weren't here, but you're very upset with your Fableo baseball team, the Marlins, where you feel like the door was open here for them to continue making a push maybe to a wild card spot.

And they lost two out of three, including yesterday at a game where they led 3-0

after the middle of the first.

Now, again, when I say middle of the first, that's before the Guardians even had an at bat for the game, all right?

But 3-0 lead, they wind up losing again.

Yeah, it's rare that Edward Cabrera has a start like what last night was.

He gave up three runs in the first inning, ended up not making it through the sixth inning, and he's been, I mean, one of the better pitchers in baseball over the last couple of months.

He's been really solid, but it was disappointing.

You take a 3-0 lead, you ultimately blow it, and you're down 5-4 going into the seventh inning.

And they didn't end up going to a high-leverage reliever, Valente Bellozo, who's been really good for them in several different roles this season, but as of late, has been kind of getting shelled, comes in, gives up several runs, starting with a leadoff double to Jose Ramirez.

And the disappointing part is, even after losing four out of five against the Braves, the Marlins were six games back.

Even after this two out of three against the Guardians, the Marlins remain six games back of the New York Mets because they have won two games in their last 15.

And so when the Marlins had surged the way they had and got to 500, it felt like there was an opportunity for them to take advantage.

They're currently sitting five games under 500, and yet they are just six games back at that wild.

They never got over 500.

And it got to 500.

They got to 500 when they when they beat the Yankees.

They now lost four out of five against the Braves.

They lost, and they had lost two out of three against the Astros.

They lost two out of three against the Guardians.

They're sitting here, and

there was this opportunity over the last week and a half to get yourself a lot closer because they play the Mets seven more times this season.

Well, I guess so here's the pushback that I'll give you there, all right?

It's not like what you're saying is not factual in regards to the Marlins catching the Mets, but they're not just chasing the Mets.

There are are four teams in between the Marlins and the Mets.

Oh, yeah.

And look, the Giants have not been playing well.

The Diamondbacks have been all right, but both of those teams were essentially sellers at the deadline.

They're not chasing quite the same way that people anticipated.

There's only a game and a game and a half difference between those.

They're two and a half back behind the Cardinals, who they play at home starting next week.

So going up against the Red Sox this weekend, if you can, again, it's the same scenario we talked about going to the Guardians.

Hey, if you could take two out of three, get some momentum, then you play a team you're going up against.

There's this opportunity to move ahead.

And the Reds are playing the Milwaukee Brewers, the very best team in baseball.

So they might drop a couple of games this week.

This weekend remains big for the Marlins.

And I guess the frustration that you have if you are watching along over the last week, week and a half is, man, what an opportunity this could have been to push to be four games back, maybe even three games back.

And instead, you're still sitting here just holding out hope.

You almost, there's a part of, I know a lot of Marlins fans online that almost wish that the Mets had just been winning some of these games and run away with it so that you could stop holding on to what's likely a pipe dream of going for the postseason.

But, you know, if you have a good series this weekend, you never know coming back playing nine straight at home before going to New York.

I thought he was going to say this is our opportunity to finally stop talking baseball for the rest of the year, but apparently the Marlins are still in the hunt.

No, we're trying to milk it.

If we can milk another couple weeks till the regular season of football starts, that's we're so close.

That's that's the sweet spot right there.

You know, that's the sweet spot.

Mike, what do you got, man?

We got a couple OLI.

Now, the OLI, they made positive contributions.

Some even earned big contracts here.

So, these are Miami Heat F-boys, right?

But they have pop-up for brains.

All right.

Honorary.

We love him.

He's a legend, but classic F-boy, Mario Chalmers.

Wow, yeah.

We love him, though.

I didn't expect that.

That might be a direction.

Wow.

And if we're putting together a top 10 of my favorite Miami Heat players, Rio may be on it.

Okay.

But F-boy.

Mario Evan Chalmers.

OLI, Deion Waders.

Yeah, that's a good one.

That's a good one.

Gave us a great moment.

That's why he doesn't crack the top five.

And this guy made a big contract.

Nobody else was doing it with blocks, but Between the Ears wasn't there, Hassan Whiteside.

Wow, OLI, Hassan Whiteside.

See how large he has gotten?

Yeah, he's so jacked.

Huge.

He plays for Lopiata in Puerto Rico, by the way.

He might be too big, let's be honest.

The top five

gave us pretty much next to nothing.

All right.

Number five, Mike Bibby.

Number one in my heart at all time for F-Boys.

Standing ovation, right?

Yep.

Nothing.

Yeah, he was bad.

Another roided up dude.

Number four.

Yeah, yeah.

Allegedly.

Whoa.

Come on.

Number four.

Take it easy, man.

McBob.

I didn't hate Josh McRoberts the way everyone else hated Jesus.

Josh McRobbed us.

Yeah.

That dude.

Robbed us.

He wasn't supposed to take the contract.

Number three,

Smush Parker.

You know, he's trying to be a referee.

Yeah.

Yeah, I saw that.

Number two,

Kyle Lowry.

How is he not number one?

I've never

disliked the Miami Heat player more.

I hated watching him.

Really?

I know who his number one is.

He's a disgrace.

Gotta be Chris Quinn.

Kyle Lowry is a disgrace.

The disgrace.

Just a total lack of professionalism during his time down here.

And wearing number seven, which should only be recognized as Goron Dragic's number.

The dragon.

Number one.

This one's obvious.

Anybody want to guess?

Scary.

That's right.

Wow.

Terry Rozier.

Not just the worst Miami Heat basketball player of all time, the worst basketball player of all time.

Oh, wow.

This guy sucks.

Do you think it's a long con so that they go back and see, see, I wasn't trying to hit the unders.

I'm just this bad.

Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.

Cuervo.

What are you doing here?

Cuervo.

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like, Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Cuervo.

So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Cuervo.

Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.
