Speaker 1 All right, Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL, world's number one vodka. Chris Cody, you're with me here.

Speaker 2 Smirnoff!

Speaker 1 Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff. Spinoff.
I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff! Not your favorite game day drink. What's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff!

Speaker 1 All right, here's the deal: game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.
Spirit off.

Speaker 1 Smirnoff off belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff! Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 1 They've been doing it since 1864, which is... I don't even want to do the math.
It's a long time. It's like when Greg Cody was born.
They're award-winning.

Speaker 1 They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together. So yeah, we do game days.

Speaker 5 That's their thing.

Smearing off.

Speaker 8 Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

Speaker 9 It really does.

Speaker 1 I mean, a new tattoo, a bad haircut, waffle challenges.

Speaker 8 I've seen those waffle challenges.

Speaker 6 Those look delightful.

Speaker 11 You're stressing me out with that soundboard.

Speaker 6 Well, fantasy football is stressful.

Speaker 1 So stressful that it can lead to nighttime teeth grinding. Dentech's mouth guards help with nighttime teeth grinding.

Speaker 17 This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 19 So you're looking a little bit sleepy.

Speaker 13 You're looking a little bit tired, Chris Cody.

Speaker 21 What do you have going on last night?

Speaker 22 Bowling got me. Really?

Speaker 23 I used to not partake in the, you know, the beverages in the mid-winning.

Speaker 4 What does that mean? You used to not partake. What do you mean you used to, right?

Speaker 11 On school nights, I don't really get down. But, you know, the last couple of years, I've done bowling on Wednesdays, and so I've kind of gotten the habit.

Speaker 25 Are you in like a bowling league?

Speaker 26 Yes, sir. Yep.

Speaker 11 Greg Cody's on a team. Yeah, we got a whole squad.

Speaker 27 So the bowling didn't get to you. The drinking did.
Correct. Okay.

Speaker 11 And it doesn't always.

Speaker 26 Right. But it did last night.

Speaker 28 All right, but let's backpedal for a second.

Speaker 21 So how many people are on a bowling team?

Speaker 29 Five.

Speaker 30 And is it like total score?

Speaker 31 Is it average?

Speaker 32 How does that work?

Speaker 11 It's three games a night, and you do have an average, and then you're based off your average, you're given a handicap to kind of balance it out.

Speaker 8 You know, if you're really good, you have a zero handicap.

Speaker 19 Well, why is there a handicap to balance it out? Why isn't it just you versus another team?

Speaker 11 Because then there's like a few teams out there that are just so good that they would just win everything.

Speaker 22 This makes like a crappy bowler can compete with the good bowlers because of handicaps.

Speaker 27 I mean, Zaszlo, it's like golf. The reason you have handicaps is so bad players can compete with good players, you know? I mean, bowling's no difference.

Speaker 37 Well, why don't you just, why don't bad players compete in a league that's bad players? And good players compete in a league that's a bad player.

Speaker 4 Is there a bumper league?

Speaker 14 Like, you know, they're not a big players.

Speaker 27 Like an ABC league. Something like that.

Speaker 38 Bumper league, right? Yeah.

Speaker 14 How about them bumpers?

Speaker 38 Let's be honest, nobody actually knows how to keep score in bowling. So if you just take off the TV on the top, right? No, no, nobody, come on, they're all live.

Speaker 4 He's right about that. He's right.
He's right. No one's right about that.

Speaker 38 How do you score a spare?

Speaker 22 It's one of those things where old people, like my dad, can tell you, he can look at a thing and be like, you're going to get it.

Speaker 38 It's been decades since they've had to do it on their own. There's no way they remember how to do it.

Speaker 38 You're telling them to take off the screen and just bowl, and then at the end, have a big reveal as to who won. I guarantee you, everybody's like, maybe I won.

Speaker 41 I don't know how to keep score.

Speaker 27 He just made bowling better.

Speaker 41 He did? See?

Speaker 27 I mean, that is a reveal at the end.

Speaker 42 I remember. Oh.

Speaker 38 And they show who won.

Speaker 44 And then, you know.

Speaker 19 I mean, Israel, you're in North Miami Beach.

Speaker 26 You got a tennis replay.

Speaker 21 Like, growing up, I was.

Speaker 4 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Aren't you? Let's be specific.

Speaker 14 North Miami.

Speaker 38 You are a North Miami Beach guy.

Speaker 25 Yeah. I'm a North Miami guy.

Speaker 45 Okay,

Speaker 4 we are rivals.

Speaker 38 We are not the same. This is true.

Speaker 13 Rival high schools. That's true.

Speaker 26 Cross town, yeah.

Speaker 13 I remember I have to get off the bus.

Speaker 36 I played Far City basketball.

Speaker 38 Don't make me have to go get my North Miami police hat from the other room.

Speaker 46 Please get it. Please get it.
Please get it.

Speaker 47 I would get off the bus. Israel's going to get the North Miami police hat.
I'd get off the bus when we were at North Miami.

Speaker 20 We were escorted into the gym by police.

Speaker 32 Oh, wow.

Speaker 28 That was a big rivalry.

Speaker 29 That was when, and it was my first experience at North Miami, you know, for a big rivalry game.

Speaker 20 That was when I walked next to our six foot eight center into the gym.

Speaker 49 So you walked next to him, who was also walking next to police. So you were like three foot.

Speaker 24 Well, police was surrounding all of us.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I'm like, I'm walking next to him.

Speaker 27 And you still felt the need, huh?

Speaker 51 Yep. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 14 He was a big boy.

Speaker 42 I'm walking with you.

Speaker 27 You had cops with you, Zaslow. Nah,

Speaker 42 wasn't enough, huh?

Speaker 14 None of those cops were six foot eight.

Speaker 31 All right.

Speaker 19 Oh, look at Israel. He's got his North Miami police hat.

Speaker 24 Oh, look at you looking very handsome.

Speaker 52 There you go. It's incredible.

Speaker 53 Zaz still looks more like a cop.

Speaker 54 Oh, I don't know. How about now?

Speaker 4 Izzy also in the center.

Speaker 11 I love a good sweat stain in the flex cap.

Speaker 55 Nope.

Speaker 53 Still Zaz. Yep.

Speaker 11 You know your mic's off.

Speaker 38 And you still got the NMPD thing right there. I'm thrown off.
I came in in the middle of the segment.

Speaker 26 I don't know what the hell's happening.

Speaker 19 So the point I'm making, are you a North Miami kid?

Speaker 21 You don't remember going to Cloverleaf bowling and having to keep score by hand?

Speaker 47 You weren't able to do that?

Speaker 38 Yeah, no, we had to do it by hand. Nobody knew if we were right.

Speaker 58 That's true.

Speaker 38 I know it's all just pretty much a guess.

Speaker 13 I can keep score. I know.
Can you really?

Speaker 27 Absolutely. All right.
So

Speaker 27 you start your bowling game, Matt, with two strikes, a spare, and a seven. What do you have? Oh, Ikit!

Speaker 33 You're asking me to do your complicated math.

Speaker 17 Give me a few minutes to write it down.

Speaker 45 A few minutes?

Speaker 24 No, no, no. I don't need a few minutes.

Speaker 19 Give me 20 seconds to write it down. I'll give you the score.

Speaker 52 No problem. All right, do it.

Speaker 42 Okay, so what is it again?

Speaker 27 It's two strikes.

Speaker 60 Okay, strike

Speaker 39 XX

Speaker 50 and a seven.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Wait, wait, what was the seven? Was it like a 4-3?

Speaker 54 Yeah, we needed

Speaker 39 a spare.

Speaker 27 It was a 4-3.

Speaker 50 4-3.

Speaker 2 Terrible first shot.

Speaker 42 I'm going to give you a score.

Speaker 27 It's a 4-3. So it's two strikes.
It's a spare, and it's a 7. I have no idea what that adds up to.

Speaker 26 I do. Talk to him.

Speaker 49 That's why I look at the screen and it tells me, oh, 42. I'm like, okay, sick.

Speaker 14 All right.

Speaker 27 Do you guys, if you had the choice to choose electronic scoring or writing it down on your own? Because I've had this conversation with Greg Cody. No, your dad likes to write it down, Chris.

Speaker 41 He does.

Speaker 45 You guys are old.

Speaker 63 No, no, you need the electronic scoring because you get the turkey animation.

Speaker 62 The animations, yeah.

Speaker 38 How do you know if you did something good without the animations?

Speaker 49 Yeah, I need the turkey animation.

Speaker 64 The animations are the greatest part about bowling.

Speaker 49 You have like the JFK one where he's like in the book depository and then it's like, and then the pin explodes.

Speaker 38 Some of them are definitely your bowling.

Speaker 49 You guys didn't see that one, the JFK one?

Speaker 61 No, that's probably the deep red one.

Speaker 27 Who the fuck wants to bowl with Zaslow if he's taking this long to add up the numbers?

Speaker 2 Are you working on that? Okay.

Speaker 14 I think I have the score.

Speaker 38 Yeah, that's exactly what said.

Speaker 42 I noticed how

Speaker 4 it's been a little bit long since I've done this.

Speaker 65 Okay. You were so confident.

Speaker 37 Again, strike, strike, spare, 4-3.

Speaker 50 4-3.

Speaker 37 I think at the end of that fourth frame, you have 71.

Speaker 66 Damn.

Speaker 67 I don't think that's anywhere close.

Speaker 33 It's definitely close if it's not 100% spot on.

Speaker 4 I don't know. But nobody here is able to grow.
I have no idea how to check you on this.

Speaker 36 I think it's 71.

Speaker 11 I'm being, AI is telling me it's 57.

Speaker 58 Yeah, I think it's 57.

Speaker 68 I just put in like bowling score.

Speaker 34 Strike, strike, spare, seven.

Speaker 11 and it says

Speaker 4 when did you put 4-3?

Speaker 11 Oh, I didn't put 4-3.

Speaker 4 I don't think that really matters. Of course,

Speaker 42 it matters, right?

Speaker 4 I think Zaz is 10. He had the 4 onto the spare, right?

Speaker 51 Yeah, I'm telling you, I got it.

Speaker 68 14.

Speaker 27 It's 14 onto

Speaker 38 7, which ends in a 1. So I think Zaz is closer to right, but the 70s.

Speaker 69 Actually, I think it might be 61. I think it's 61.

Speaker 70 That's a little bit better.

Speaker 68 So no, I think I fixed it. Just do the turkey dance.

Speaker 42 I think it's 61.

Speaker 71 Let's do the turkey dance and let's move on.

Speaker 72 So.

Speaker 27 Thank you, Izzy.

Speaker 33 Harder to do these days.

Speaker 13 Keep score for bowling by hand or keep a box at a baseball game?

Speaker 50 Hmm.

Speaker 30 Can you do a box?

Speaker 47 If I put it right in front of you right now, Stugats, you went to the Marlins game and you sit there with a box, would you be able to keep score?

Speaker 73 No.

Speaker 62 Really?

Speaker 66 Probably not.

Speaker 75 I would be able to, but I'd probably fall asleep in the middle.

Speaker 27 Do I have to stay for the whole game?

Speaker 74 Yeah, don't make me do that. If I have to stay for nine innings, no deal.

Speaker 58 If you look up,

Speaker 11 they're looking at it on the computer.

Speaker 34 Okay, video.

Speaker 47 I kind of calculated it.

Speaker 21 And what do they have?

Speaker 11 It says 69.

Speaker 45 Nice. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 51 69.

Speaker 52 Dude, did you accidentally do the one where the score gets you 69?

Speaker 73 Yeah, I did.

Speaker 66 You're that much of a mathematical genius that off the top of your head, you went 69 with what was it?

Speaker 46 Strike, strike, spare, seven?

Speaker 50 Yeah, 4-3.

Speaker 31 Yes.

Speaker 26 70.

Speaker 17 Oh, so I was so close.

Speaker 4 I had 71.

Speaker 11 If you got a nine, if it's strike, strike, nine, spare, four, three.

Speaker 11 70.

Speaker 45 Oh, all right.

Speaker 42 All right, Zaz, okay.

Speaker 51 I'm in the bedroom wrong.

Speaker 65 What do you mean, okay?

Speaker 76 No, but he's wrong.

Speaker 73 I don't think the computer's right either.

Speaker 3 How dare you doubt computer accuracy?

Speaker 38 I'm pretty sure he put in the same numbers twice, and it came up with two different hands.

Speaker 11 Because it matters what you got on the spare, if you got a seven spare or a nine spare.

Speaker 25 And what the first

Speaker 50 roll was. Yeah.

Speaker 38 The 4-3.

Speaker 27 After two strikes of a spare.

Speaker 42 Wow. So you are drunk.

Speaker 17 So, Chris, on

Speaker 21 like a regular night like last night, bowling, you go out there.

Speaker 19 What's What's an average score for you?

Speaker 13 I average, I believe, 180.

Speaker 11 My first game, I got a 216. My second game, I got a 177.
You know, we started going this way. The beers were flowing.

Speaker 34 And the third, I usually actually, because it keeps track of your averages throughout the whole season, I generally go up like my third game, which is surprising.

Speaker 27 You'd think as the drunker, you get.

Speaker 26 Right.

Speaker 22 But apparently, kind of like golf, I get a little better as the night goes on.

Speaker 11 But yeah, I had a good night last night.

Speaker 47 Stu Gots, you just showed up tonight to a bowling alley.

Speaker 50 You roll what? One.

Speaker 14 You know, it's not to say roll.

Speaker 52 That's bowling parlance.

Speaker 4 You gotta roll them.

Speaker 14 I want to be inclusive, you know.

Speaker 25 Right.

Speaker 27 I would say like a 150 tops.

Speaker 4 Not bad, right?

Speaker 19 That's like what I would do.

Speaker 21 If I just showed up tonight, I gave 150.

Speaker 23 That's what everyone says they would bowl.

Speaker 11 I don't, I'm not saying you wouldn't, but that's just what you say.

Speaker 33 Tony, you show up.

Speaker 42 Snooty Boulder, right here, by the way.

Speaker 54 Did you feel? Did you hear that?

Speaker 46 He's like, yeah, I bowl two something.

Speaker 54 Yeah, I've 180.

Speaker 46 What's in the league? That's what they say. That's what they say.

Speaker 26 Do you have a handicap? Yeah.

Speaker 34 You do.

Speaker 8 I average, like, I get 54 pins.

Speaker 34 So the average is to 230.

Speaker 11 So what's 230 minus 54? That's my average.

Speaker 20 176. That's my average.

Speaker 47 Tony, you showed up tonight. No bumpers.

Speaker 49 No bumpers. Bumpers, I'm in the 150s for sure.

Speaker 42 You have to do it so much higher.

Speaker 42 No bumpers. I'm bowling like a...

Speaker 65 The thing is, you got to be in the twos.

Speaker 49 No, bumpers, I bowl 150. No bumpers, I'm bowling like a

Speaker 10 96. Ooh, 96.
Yeah.

Speaker 63 At your bowling alley, you get a nice little animation of Tom Hanks human trafficking kids in an animal cabinet.

Speaker 41 It's pins, though.

Speaker 39 Specifically, it's not a kid.

Speaker 46 I don't know what the kids' situation is.

Speaker 10 It's pins. Remember, it's a bowling alley.

Speaker 24 Mike, you show up tonight.

Speaker 45 We're bowling.

Speaker 42 I don't do bowling.

Speaker 13 Oh, wow. Too cool for that.

Speaker 5 Israel?

Speaker 38 Did you say bowling parlance?

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 45 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Yeah, it's like language. You just dropping words on Stew Gats like that and you're rolling.

Speaker 14 You expect everybody to just know what you're saying?

Speaker 38 Like, that's a damn word, if I've ever heard one.

Speaker 38 The answer is 140.

Speaker 45 All right.

Speaker 49 With bumpers or no bumpers?

Speaker 38 No bumpers. Second game, two beers in.
What a first game's going to be. This is bumpers.

Speaker 49 The bumpers are fun. If you're an adult, you play bumpers game.
It's fun.

Speaker 27 I know, but if you have bumpers, Tony, you should be in the 200s, don't you think?

Speaker 42 It's very true. Yes.

Speaker 4 Very true.

Speaker 31 Because you then have a gutter ball.

Speaker 64 Yeah, but you can get like the last little corner.

Speaker 54 You can hit a one, and you're like, ah, come on.

Speaker 47 So, Israel, before we get into the really important stuff to me.

Speaker 38 Maybe 160 if I'm feeling really good.

Speaker 68 All right.

Speaker 38 I don't do the curve throw thing. I do the straight throw thing.

Speaker 54 The curve throw thing is bad for your elbow.

Speaker 64 Have you tried to like really curve it? It hurts your elbow.

Speaker 11 You guys sound like let's make some some content.

Speaker 74 Or let's say we're going to make content and not actually make the content, but we should do a bowling thing.

Speaker 48 So, Israel, you weren't here yesterday?

Speaker 47 Any observations?

Speaker 45 Are you asking or telling?

Speaker 56 Kind of both.

Speaker 57 Any observations from yesterday's show? You got a beef with yesterday's program?

Speaker 38 I don't know if it was necessarily a beef.

Speaker 38 It was funny to me that Greg Cody figured out that his testicles are two different sizes after he got hit in them with a tennis ball.

Speaker 38 That's when he realized, oh, one's a little lower than the other one. And I'm pretty sure that's everybody's, everybody's, unless you've got some weird stuff going on.

Speaker 47 Did you know that, Stugats?

Speaker 27 I did, yes. I've looked at my balls before.

Speaker 26 Have you looked at Great Cody's?

Speaker 50 I haven't.

Speaker 4 What else you got from yesterday, Israel?

Speaker 25 From yesterday in particular.

Speaker 54 Not a whole lot, to be honest,

Speaker 38 because I did have a question for Mike, and it had nothing to do with yesterday's show.

Speaker 71 Over-easy.

Speaker 11 I'm an over-medium guy.

Speaker 61 Sunny side up, too.

Speaker 54 I like a runny egg. I like to have.

Speaker 11 I used to like the runny egg.

Speaker 38 I like a congealed egg. Can somebody tell me the difference between overeasy and sunny side up? Yes.

Speaker 53 Yes. You flip it over real quick.

Speaker 14 So there's like, you still keep the consistency of the yolk, but it has a little thicker over the top.

Speaker 11 Sunny Side Up's never flipped.

Speaker 26 Yeah. Sunny Side Up is just.

Speaker 38 Is it Sunny Side Up that has more likely some uncooked whites around it? Perhaps? Yes. Yes.

Speaker 39 It could be a little snotty.

Speaker 38 There needs to be somewhere in between a little snotty and over medium because it's never over medium it's always just works into i'll make it nice over medium you're dominant right you do the dominican eggs which one is that you don't know the dominican eggs where you get like the the corn oil and you just basically fry them to crispy i was gonna say every egg i've ever eaten growing up was ridiculously overcooked and i didn't know what an actually properly cooked egg tastes like until i was maybe 35 that's a that's a dominican egg yeah but um that was not my question

Speaker 68 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 40 Cheaters never prosper.

Speaker 58 Stugats.

Speaker 66 I ain't cheating.

Speaker 16 This is the Don Lebatard show with the Stugats.

Speaker 22 I like the ramen egg. What could it possibly be? You know that ramen egg where it's like cut in half?

Speaker 2 Soft-boiled eggs, which is

Speaker 4 the good stuff right there.

Speaker 38 So I was in a Publix the other day and I was jamming out and I was like, wow, this song is definitely a potential CBS and Walgreens song, but for the entirety of my life, I've had no idea what this dude is saying in this song.

Speaker 38 And I wanted to take it back to like, you know, the 1990s where I couldn't just ask my telephone. And I said, I'm going to wait and ask Mike this question because I'm pretty sure he knows the answer.

Speaker 67 Flattered.

Speaker 38 Okay, you ready for the song?

Speaker 23 Yes. It goes like this.
Mumble it.

Speaker 14 What the hell does he say right there?

Speaker 39 This is the road that I must travel.

Speaker 42 Hibby, baby, venture through the darkness. Is that men at work?

Speaker 38 I think it's Mr. Mister.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 78 If I'm correct.

Speaker 38 Yeah, no, no, no. That's one of the band names I have.

Speaker 4 They're Australian, either way.

Speaker 77 Isn't it Kiri Erie?

Speaker 42 Kiri Erie.

Speaker 51 I don't know.

Speaker 39 Is that English?

Speaker 42 Kiri Erie is.

Speaker 77 Kiri Erie is.

Speaker 22 Kiri Erie, what?

Speaker 58 I don't know.

Speaker 61 Kiri Erie is a road.

Speaker 53 I Googled it.

Speaker 74 Kyrie Irving came up.

Speaker 16 But either way, also Australian.

Speaker 74 Crazy.

Speaker 75 Maybe they were just foretelling Kyrie.

Speaker 38 We are living in a projection, and this is just like a cycle. But no, I have no idea what that person says.
I swore that I would throw that out there, and Mike would just be on it.

Speaker 38 But this might be one of the greatest mysteries of our time. So

Speaker 74 I guess it's a name because it's Kiri Illison, Kiri Illison, and then it goes Kiri Illi.

Speaker 13 Like it just cuts it off.

Speaker 27 What's the Illison, though?

Speaker 42 Let me find out. Who's this Kirison? Kiri Illison.

Speaker 4 That's what it is.

Speaker 53 I don't think it's a name because the Ian Ellison is lowercase.

Speaker 42 What does that mean?

Speaker 53 It's a Greek phrase meaning Lord have mercy.

Speaker 51 Wow.

Speaker 38 So the Australians singing in English used a Greek phrase saying, Lord, a mercy.

Speaker 61 Well, let me confirm that Mr.

Speaker 51 Mr.

Speaker 51 Night, yes.

Speaker 53 Let me confirm that Mr. Mr.
is Australian.

Speaker 61 They are not.

Speaker 42 From Ohio?

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Delaware like Dante DiVincenzo.

Speaker 74 No, they're from Phoenix, which is way different.

Speaker 38 Kyrie has never played in Phoenix.

Speaker 54 What is this? I really did confuse him with men at work.

Speaker 53 Who may also may not be Australian and they just sang, I came from a land down under, and then I would just never fact-check it.

Speaker 4 I just assume that they're Australian.

Speaker 41 If you're saying it right.

Speaker 74 No, but the Vegemite sandwich thing lyric is damning.

Speaker 42 Yeah, Mr. Meanwhile.

Speaker 38 There's people in supermarkets right now singing along and just going, hey, me, me, me, babe.

Speaker 38 Have no idea, and will go to their deathbed not knowing what that song is, but damn it, it'll play at their funeral.

Speaker 42 Well,

Speaker 74 in the very unlikely event that Mr. Mister isn't from Phoenix, Arizona, and they are actually from Australia, which they are not.
There's a lot of Greek influence in Australia.

Speaker 4 Nikirios, for example.

Speaker 38 I think in this country, they're going to have to change their name soon.

Speaker 27 Izzy, that song's a bit upbeat for a funeral, don't you think?

Speaker 41 I mean, it's a celebration of life. Whatever.

Speaker 66 Roy, good morning.

Speaker 45 Good morning.

Speaker 45 You all right? Yeah.

Speaker 82 I had to drop off clear to school.

Speaker 41 First grade of school.

Speaker 82 School traffic kind of.

Speaker 78 School is bad.

Speaker 38 That is quite the transformation's ass. I had no idea he was there.
I was looking at my right.

Speaker 38 I was expecting to see Chris and I see Roy. That is jarring.

Speaker 42 Very sneaky.

Speaker 71 Very sneaky.

Speaker 14 All right. Good to have you here, Roy.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 47 So I don't know if you saw yesterday.

Speaker 54 Hey, Decoro, Chris, how are you?

Speaker 21 But the Miami Dolphins, that's our local football team.

Speaker 55 Our local professional football team.

Speaker 47 And they are in Detroit right now because they have a preseason game this weekend at the Lions.

Speaker 35 But they've been in Detroit for the last couple of days because

Speaker 32 they're doing joint practices with the Detroit Lions.

Speaker 25 I do think, by the way, we're going to get to a place where there's going to be maybe one preseason game and teams are just going to schedule joint practices.

Speaker 19 I think coaches would rather joint practices than preseason games because the joint practices, like it's a controlled environment.

Speaker 21 It's like, hey, I want to practice red zone. Like, are you okay with that?

Speaker 47 I want to do this. I want to do this.

Speaker 56 And in preseason, like, anything can happen.

Speaker 20 I think if you polled NFL coaches, coaches, Stugats, they would tell you, we would rather do away with preseason and just do joint practices.

Speaker 27 All of the preseason games, I think coaches are such creatures of habit that they feel like they need a couple of games to get their team kind of organized and ready.

Speaker 36 Why doesn't college football? I mean, Texas is playing Ohio State week one.

Speaker 45 It's like here we are.

Speaker 27 It's a great question. I don't have the answer for you.
Perhaps they're not allowed to do it in college, to play preseason games. I have no idea.

Speaker 21 No, they're probably not.

Speaker 45 But the point being,

Speaker 48 college, where a regular season loss is so much more damaging than in the NFL.

Speaker 3 They get right out there and they play.

Speaker 25 And they don't always play school for the blind in week one.

Speaker 14 They're playing a massive game.

Speaker 27 Right. But for the most part, when the NFL guys get out there week one, for the most part, that's the first time they're seeing the field.
I'm not saying that's the case for everyone.

Speaker 27 Joe Burrow obviously saw the field week one preseason. But for the most part, I think the preseason is to figure out who's going to be those final guys on the roster, right?

Speaker 31 Yep.

Speaker 27 So I think therefore it has a value to coaches. You want to see them play in a game, Zaz.
You do.

Speaker 56 So Israel, you are our main Lions, Detroit Lions.

Speaker 52 That's just

Speaker 54 world's number one. Thank you.

Speaker 11 We're enjoying this hypothetical matchup against Blind You.

Speaker 39 How do you think that would go?

Speaker 39 I love the visual. Like, hut!

Speaker 6 Like, no, this way.

Speaker 12 Watch the ball. I mean,

Speaker 59 damn it.

Speaker 76 It's over your head.

Speaker 38 What are you laughing at, Stu Guts?

Speaker 41 Blind you.

Speaker 20 Israel, did you see all the reports around the team that you covered, the Detroit Lions, yesterday with their joint practice with the Miami Dolphins?

Speaker 38 Hit it, Roy.

Speaker 51 Thank you.

Speaker 6 I did already.

Speaker 4 Ah.

Speaker 79 All right, go ahead, Izzy.

Speaker 38 Turn my headphones up.

Speaker 64 Thank you. Oh, it's Honolulu theme.

Speaker 42 Wait, what's in trouble for me? Wait for it.

Speaker 38 There's the lion. He's chilling, though.
He's not a crazy lion.

Speaker 38 Yes, this is the part where my worlds collide here as my expertise on the Detroit Lions growing expertise. I don't want anybody to challenge me at all, okay?

Speaker 38 It's a growing expertise, Honolulu blue, although the wardrobe getting a little limited right now. I had to wear a Honolulu blue with a bit of a graphic on it today.
Who knows what's coming tomorrow?

Speaker 38 I don't know.

Speaker 22 But yes, my worlds are colliding here.

Speaker 38 The reason I got on this Detroit Lions beat was because my Dolphins fandom had just fallen off of a cliff because they're regularly mediocre and this season gave me no hope.

Speaker 38 Now they have this joint practice and what I have confirmed everyone

Speaker 38 the dolphins are going to be awful this year.

Speaker 14 Just terrible.

Speaker 38 The Detroit Lions went into this joint practice saying, we don't know what our problem is.

Speaker 65 Our offense sucks.

Speaker 38 Our defense is pretty good, but our offense is terrible. We need something to make us feel better about ourselves.
And they got it because the Dolphins came into town.

Speaker 38 And granted, Tyreek Hiller wasn't there or didn't play. Jalen Waddle was limited.

Speaker 38 They didn't have the right tackle, but they got eaten alive to a point where the Detroit Lions now feel good about themselves, no longer worried about their offense.

Speaker 37 Yeah, like, so the Detroit media who are there, they're getting their first look, obviously, at the Dolphins so far this season, Stugats.

Speaker 47 And you should see some of these tweets that were coming out of that practice yesterday from what I assume is Lions media, okay?

Speaker 19 I mean, all right, so take, for instance, this one.

Speaker 47 This is Nick Baumgartner.

Speaker 77 I don't know that fool, but he covers, you know, the Lions, all right?

Speaker 14 Lions just out.

Speaker 55 everythinged the Dolphins for two hours out of the business.

Speaker 28 Never good.

Speaker 36 As lopsided a joint NFL practice as I've ever seen.

Speaker 27 Congratulations to the Lions for winning practice. I mean, who cares?

Speaker 38 They didn't just win practice. They won like by 70 points.

Speaker 38 Here's some more details. Safety Brian Branch.
You ever heard of Brian Branch? I don't know that for him.

Speaker 38 He forced incompletions on all three repetitions he took during one-on-one drills, locking up Todge Washington twice. That goes to Todd Washington, hope.
And also bumping Eric Ezukanma, yes,

Speaker 4 receiver.

Speaker 78 Off his route.

Speaker 38 In the first seven-on-seven period, the Lions foiled five straight plays.

Speaker 5 Five straight.

Speaker 45 Okay.

Speaker 14 TJ Tungavayaloa looked terrible.

Speaker 38 Zach Wilson looked even worse, throwing an interception on his first pass. It was a disgusting display for the Miami Dolphins and made me sort of

Speaker 20 feel way better about my choice to be a Lions guy this year.

Speaker 49 Izzy, I will tell you one thing. Brian Branch, good player.

Speaker 4 Oh. Okay.

Speaker 11 There's a chance. Nick Baumgartner hasn't seen a lot of joint practices.

Speaker 14 Right.

Speaker 11 Yeah. You know, he says the craziest he's ever seen.

Speaker 83 Maybe he's only seen a couple.

Speaker 27 In fairness to the Dolphins, the team you don't want to play in practice is Dan Campbell and the Lions, right?

Speaker 38 Well, they did. They do have Aiden Hutchinson, and he did some practical practices.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but they practice hard.

Speaker 27 There's no plays off for anyone on the train.

Speaker 4 They practice so hard.

Speaker 19 If you looked at those two coaches, Dan Campbell, Mike McDaniel, which team practices really hard?

Speaker 14 To give a fair observation.

Speaker 26 Isn't that the problem with the Dolphins?

Speaker 14 They're considered to be soft.

Speaker 38 So you would want in these joint practices to show that you're not soft.

Speaker 48 Well, you had one of the players from the Lions, a defensive tackle, I forget his name, and he said, I don't think they practice the way we do.

Speaker 19 Like, that's what he said after you guys.

Speaker 4 All right, let me.

Speaker 4 No one does.

Speaker 48 Let me read you a few more of these tweets from, again, Detroit media, who's there seeing the Dolphins.

Speaker 84 All right, this is Colton Pouncy.

Speaker 48 Now, I don't know that fool, but he's there in Detroit.

Speaker 36 That was the most lopsided joint practice. This is not the same tweet.

Speaker 69 That was the most lopsided joint practice I've ever seen.

Speaker 47 Lions dominated both sides.

Speaker 48 So now you got a couple that are saying the same thing.

Speaker 25 Now, you know, I've never been around Detroit media.

Speaker 47 I don't think they all get together and decide, hey, we should all tweet this. These people are watching and like, all right, so let me,

Speaker 20 let's see another one here, okay?

Speaker 47 So again, this is also from a Detroit media member.

Speaker 29 This guy is called Mike Payton.

Speaker 19 Oh, Mike.

Speaker 47 No, I don't know that fool.

Speaker 44 Either the Dolphins are really bad or the Lions are just a juggernaut.

Speaker 47 Not a great day for Miami Stewarts.

Speaker 38 You know, one of the things that really annoyed me with the Dolphins is their play calling on goal-line plays, like short plays.

Speaker 38 They're always trying this misdirection nonsense, never really fooling anybody, very rarely executing.

Speaker 38 Here's over an eight-play stretch during a red zone situational period, the Dolphins' first team gained little traction despite trying to sow confusion with misdirection tactics.

Speaker 38 Several runs went for minimal gains. So basically trying the same shit and not being tough again.

Speaker 27 You don't want to show them too much, Izzy. I mean, it's preseason, it's practice.

Speaker 38 You know, I mean, if you weren't trying to show him too much, you would run that bitch right up the middle instead of all this nonsense.

Speaker 49 He's right about that. He is right about that.

Speaker 25 Let me read you one more here.

Speaker 35 All right.

Speaker 56 So, again, this is from Colton Pouncy. Now, the only reason I know this guy

Speaker 35 is because I already saw a tweet from him.

Speaker 25 Otherwise, I don't know that fool.

Speaker 47 Dolphins' offense just ran 16 or so plays in the red zone versus the Lions.

Speaker 25 Didn't score until the final play between second units.

Speaker 57 Miami's first-team offense didn't score in the seven to eight plays versus Detroit's first team defense.

Speaker 35 It was ugly.

Speaker 56 Lions D is having a day.

Speaker 11 I mean, was it seven or eight plays? I mean, geez, are you watching this practice?

Speaker 11 Influencing the punts? How do you not know?

Speaker 20 Now, we were hearing the same kind of stuff last week when they were doing the joint practice with the Bears.

Speaker 29 And I understand, like, Mike McDaniel after the practice, like, oh, you know, Detroit players are saying they don't think that you guys know how to practice.

Speaker 47 They don't practice the same way.

Speaker 20 And Mike McDaniel chalks it up to the whole, you know, there's a lot of noise, and that's all it is. It's just noise around us.

Speaker 29 But man, like, we're going into a season.

Speaker 30 You got these two joint practices where it seems like the other team kind of thinks you're a joke.

Speaker 20 You got Jalen Ramsey out there talking about no one respects the head coach.

Speaker 29 The major buzzword around the Dolphins right now is culture.

Speaker 37 And of course, coming up.

Speaker 77 And by the way, you got the Tyreek Hill situation.

Speaker 24 I don't know, man. Like, it's a lot of things that are out there right now that would signal the Dolphins might be sneaky, terrible team this year.

Speaker 38 I don't think it's sneaky at all.

Speaker 38 Amon Ross Saint-Brown said that the quote white elephant in the room was that their offense had been terrible all the way up to Detroit practices.

Speaker 38 Detroit's offense had been terrible all the way up to these practices.

Speaker 27 Until they saw the Dolphins' defense.

Speaker 38 And now they're totally comfortable. They're fine with their offense.
My question there being is, is he conflating two different phrases? The white elephant in the room, isn't that a game?

Speaker 70 Isn't it a pink elephant?

Speaker 42 It's just an elephant.

Speaker 53 Yeah, the white elephant in the room is a nice little present.

Speaker 63 Who knows? It's a mystery. Right.

Speaker 38 So it's confusing, but I'm pretty sure we know he's basically saying the dolphin.

Speaker 17 Isn't white elephant like Yankee Swap for Christmas, right?

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 45 Yeah. That's a fun game.

Speaker 38 That's what they call it in Tony's house, Yankee Swap.

Speaker 27 Are you concerned about that?

Speaker 4 It's bowling elephants.

Speaker 49 Don Carter's and Kendall, rest in peace, by the way. I have the animation that I was talking about that they played at Don Carter's.

Speaker 53 You guys have to see this.

Speaker 42 I know Sagat's asked a question, but for a moment,

Speaker 14 let's pause this.

Speaker 49 This was Don Carter's circa 2, 1998-ish, that you would bowl a strike and this would happen.

Speaker 19 Oh, yes. The Videotron, which, oh, okay.

Speaker 72 So it's...

Speaker 45 Oh, my God.

Speaker 43 They put a face

Speaker 4 on the bowling pin.

Speaker 73 The pin is JFK and the pin.

Speaker 85 And Jackie O

Speaker 33 in the back of the Cadillac.

Speaker 46 And then, guess what?

Speaker 75 Thumbs up. You got a strike, baby.

Speaker 4 You failed it.

Speaker 66 The Terminator.

Speaker 68 Too soon.

Speaker 43 What the hell?

Speaker 49 So I remember seeing that in my childhood being like, yeah, okay, cool.

Speaker 77 That is crazy.

Speaker 38 And you see how they made the shooter blue?

Speaker 24 All right. So, again,

Speaker 47 because this is, you know, for some people, it's not a visual medium.

Speaker 47 You bowl a strike and like a cool video comes on the screen, makes you excited for your great accomplishments.

Speaker 69 And they show a cartoon.

Speaker 19 It's a blue circle, you know, stick-a-ball kind of guy.

Speaker 54 Lovely facing. Got it.
It's a bowling ball.

Speaker 14 That's why it's a bowling ball guy.

Speaker 38 Yeah, the eyes are holes.

Speaker 19 And he's a sniper. He's in a building and he's he's peering out the window and with his sniper gun, he shoots and kills JFK.

Speaker 42 That's not a bowling.

Speaker 42 The bowling show.

Speaker 41 Just has his face on it.

Speaker 85 It has JFK's face on the bowling pin.

Speaker 38 And then just to make it worse, they take the X, which is the sign for the strike, and they crush something and they call it the X Terminator.

Speaker 67 That's effed up.

Speaker 59 That's...

Speaker 49 Crazy. Don Carter's early 90s.
You had to be there.

Speaker 43 Wow.

Speaker 9 Wake him up.

Speaker 87 Uh-oh.

Speaker 87 He doesn't want to be bothered anymore. Now it's getting tense because he didn't need that as a result.
He needs something that happens.

Speaker 66 You can see Mother F.O.D.

Speaker 9 Can we bother? Are we bothering you right now?

Speaker 87 Turn on your microphone, Greg.

Speaker 66 My microphone's on.

Speaker 58 Stugats.

Speaker 22 Paint the scene.

Speaker 9 The paint the scene is: I gotta go to work.

Speaker 66 Good night.

Speaker 16 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 47 Stu Gotts, you asked me, am I concerned about the Dolphins because of practice?

Speaker 55 No, I'm not concerned about the Dolphins because of practice.

Speaker 24 I'm concerned about the Dolphins because of all the things that I just laid out to you.

Speaker 72 Like, for instance, like, Chris Queer is doing the thing again.

Speaker 30 You've noticed this, right?

Speaker 19 Where fans and media, like, Chris, if I were to ask you, what is the thing about the Dolphins, personnel-wise, what is the thing about the Dolphins that you are concerned most about right now going into this?

Speaker 47 What's the white elephant in the worst quarterback i mean cornerback room i've ever seen right that's what the fans and the media are questioning right now is the the the cornerbacks and and you know the secondary minus mika fitzpatrick and chris greer is doing the thing again where it's you all seem to be a lot more concerned about that than we are.

Speaker 19 And we did the exact same thing with the offensive line last year, where he literally in front of everybody, he laughed and said,

Speaker 20 you guys are a little bit more concerned about that than we are.

Speaker 21 And as we learned, there was reason to be concerned about it.

Speaker 27 What would you like Chris Greer to say? We're not good at that position. I wasn't doing my job.
No, he's going to say, I'm confident in the cornerbacks that we have, of course.

Speaker 38 Don't put yourself in position to be caught and just to be dead wrong. midway through the season.

Speaker 38 Like when all your fans are like, we told you the cornerback situation was going to be a problem and you're getting lit up for 400 passing yards every game, then what's he going to say at that point?

Speaker 38 You probably should be, should say, hey, yeah, we're taking a chance, some chances on some guys.

Speaker 38 We're trying just because obviously we don't have the big names that you're used to, and then try to manage the situation if you're struggling.

Speaker 38 But right now, saying, we're not worried about it the way you guys are. If you get lit up, you're fired.

Speaker 11 The Dolphins might be the first NFL team in history to not play a single play in man coverage all season.

Speaker 42 I think they're going to play zone defense the entire season.

Speaker 34 I'm telling you, dude, these cornerbacks, I could be out there.

Speaker 54 I don't think you could. I could.

Speaker 54 How's your back pedal?

Speaker 27 You're hurting from bowling.

Speaker 43 I mean, it's true.

Speaker 29 Okay, now, everything we just said about this joint practice yesterday, which, you know, people think the Dolphins were an abomination. Preseason game two this Saturday afternoon, Dolphins, Lions.

Speaker 50 Like, what if they play well?

Speaker 78 Like, what if the Dolphins...

Speaker 21 It's 24-24 again, just like it's the Bears.

Speaker 47 They look like shit against the Bears. It was 24-24.

Speaker 69 Like, what happens if, all right, they looked okay.

Speaker 27 No, but that's my point. Like, you guys are down in the Dolphins because of a couple of lousy practices and reports from guys you've never heard of.

Speaker 27 And would you be surprised if the Dolphins go to Indianapolis and win in week one?

Speaker 66 No.

Speaker 42 There's no way anyone would be surprised.

Speaker 65 If the Dolphins start 2-0, you would not be surprised.

Speaker 45 Who's the second game? Patriots at home.

Speaker 72 You wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 38 Stu, I would be surprised if Tua makes it through all the snaps in the first two games. I would be shocked if he makes it through all the snaps through the entirety of the season.

Speaker 36 But forget he played all 17 games two years ago. He did.

Speaker 39 Two years ago, right.

Speaker 38 So you're holding up one year out of how many? This is the odds are in my favor.

Speaker 38 And if he doesn't play the entire season again, your backup backup is a name that we recognize who has looked the worst of all the backups that we've seen in preseason. Get off my team.

Speaker 38 And so what exactly are we to feel good about? A miracle season, maybe?

Speaker 27 I guess that's what we have hope for.

Speaker 49 How could it be a miracle season if you know going into it, there's no reinforcements coming for the secondary?

Speaker 38 I don't understand miracles.

Speaker 23 They just happen.

Speaker 10 Okay, touche.

Speaker 39 That's true.

Speaker 49 But your corners are weak. Your safeties are okay.
Minka, I guess, could be somewhat decent.

Speaker 19 No, safety's an improvement.

Speaker 47 Javon Holland sucks, and Minka Fitzpatrick is good.

Speaker 54 So that's an improvement.

Speaker 49 He's on the kind of downturn of his career.

Speaker 21 We can say the same thing about Jalen Ramsey, though.

Speaker 45 Sure, sure.

Speaker 49 But your secondary is toast. There's nobody there.
And it's like, there's nobody else coming.

Speaker 43 Well, I guess.

Speaker 38 You already lost your best corner for the season.

Speaker 20 By the way, you see Chop Robinson yesterday.

Speaker 57 He says he's fine.

Speaker 57 Yes.

Speaker 19 I don't understand.

Speaker 48 If a cart comes out and takes you out, you better be on the verge of a leg amputation.

Speaker 72 You can't come back and say, it was my collarbone, all right, and all's good.

Speaker 44 Because he did.

Speaker 11 Like, he came back and he said, everything's good nothing serious I texted he went out on a cart I texted my dolphin people I'm like no carts unless it's serious and their reasoning it's far it's a far away

Speaker 27 like the practice field to where they're taking him is just like what are you gonna make a guy with a hurt elbow walk 400 yards does that change your opinion I mean they're wearing a blank okay but I want to know right away I want someone to tell me I want it to be have two golf carts

Speaker 27 we need a golf cart for everything's okay a golf cart and a golf cart with like whoa this is not good just need a ride golf cart and an injury golf cart.

Speaker 42 Right, yes, right.

Speaker 54 I like that.

Speaker 11 Like, they should decorate, like, man, I don't know if you make it dark. Like, wait, put a siren on the important one.

Speaker 4 I don't know what we need.

Speaker 42 Like an ambulance.

Speaker 50 Yes.

Speaker 2 Two golf carts.

Speaker 66 A nothing's wrong golf cart and a shit's hit the fan golf cart.

Speaker 55 Like that.

Speaker 20 Unless anyone else has anything else on the dolphins, I do want to get on to something that was pretty awesome last night.

Speaker 38 Anybody have anything else on a terrible team?

Speaker 45 No. No, we're good.
All right.

Speaker 69 Wait, one final point.

Speaker 63 The Cuban relationship with JFK is completely different than Americans.

Speaker 49 Still? So you're saying a Cuban made that?

Speaker 54 That was older than that.

Speaker 42 If that's playing at Don Carter.

Speaker 4 Did a Cuban own that Don Carter?

Speaker 73 Don Carter is very Cuban.

Speaker 38 So I think he took shots every time that one came up.

Speaker 73 It's like, oh, he bowled the strike already.

Speaker 5 Which one's it going to be?

Speaker 12 Ah, it's JFK dead again.

Speaker 74 Just providing context for the rest of the nation.

Speaker 20 What year do you think that was, Tony?

Speaker 49 I'm being told 95 in my year. So around 98, 99, when I would be bowling as a kid, seven, eight, nine years old.

Speaker 79 That's what I would see.

Speaker 63 That's still feeling the residual effects of the Bay of Pigs.

Speaker 64 30 years. That's nothing.

Speaker 21 What a time to be alive, man.

Speaker 51 Unbelievable.

Speaker 38 What a terrible invasion.

Speaker 20 So last night, the Marlins won at the Guardians last night. Who cares? It doesn't matter, whatever.

Speaker 29 They're four games under 500. No big deal.

Speaker 35 But

Speaker 35 you see what this Jacob Marcy did last night?

Speaker 27 No.

Speaker 47 So Jacob Marcy.

Speaker 27 Who is Jacob Marcy?

Speaker 33 All right, that's a fair question.

Speaker 48 It's Jacob Marcy.

Speaker 20 He was the prize prospect in last year's Luis Arise trade.

Speaker 21 Remember, we all freaked out.

Speaker 54 Let me go back up real quick.

Speaker 4 Who's Luis Arise?

Speaker 51 Oh, come on. Get out of here, Luis.

Speaker 42 what are you doing?

Speaker 38 By the way, definitely people listening asking the same damn question.

Speaker 21 Oh, come on.

Speaker 20 Terrible day, by the way, for Billy and Jeremy not to be here, though. But Jacob Marcy was the prize prospect they got in return, and he made his debut.

Speaker 48 It was like a week and a half ago.

Speaker 35 He made his debut with the big league club, and he came right away.

Speaker 25 Like, first game, he was great, and he's been great.

Speaker 29 Last night, he was four for five with two home runs and seven RBI in the Marlins 13-4 win.

Speaker 38 When are they trading him?

Speaker 57 He has an OPS right now, Stu Gotts.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 84 You know what OPS is?

Speaker 27 No.

Speaker 19 On base plus slugging.

Speaker 38 That doesn't seem like enough letters, right? OPS for on base plus slugging? I feel like I need one more.

Speaker 25 You want it to be an OBPS?

Speaker 4 Yeah, yes. All right.

Speaker 27 You could. You said I would have knew.

Speaker 29 You could start that movement.

Speaker 71 He has an OPS of 1400.

Speaker 41 right now. Is that a lot? That's good.

Speaker 72 That's like Barry Bonds.

Speaker 45 All right.

Speaker 27 It's better than Bonds, I I think.

Speaker 42 I think it's better than Bonds.

Speaker 3 I mean,

Speaker 33 I don't know.

Speaker 19 Is that something to be super excited about?

Speaker 72 Like, is it possible they got one of these kids who is just going to be a superstar?

Speaker 32 Like, finally, did they trade a player for a prospect that is going to be like a serious dude?

Speaker 11 I'm not going to, I'm going to go more macro. Like, obviously, Marcy, we're going to see what he turns out to be.

Speaker 83 But overall, it seems like this Bendix guy.

Speaker 14 It does.

Speaker 83 That's the part.

Speaker 34 It just seems like guys that we've acquired are turning out to be decent, which is not something we're used to down here.

Speaker 48 And then I see like these highlights of, hey, look who we got, you know, in the minors right now.

Speaker 19 This pitcher and this bitch.

Speaker 3 And they're mowing people down.

Speaker 72 I don't know.

Speaker 33 Like, his Peter Bendex looked like a dork when they signed him.

Speaker 72 You know, they brought him in.

Speaker 3 I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 19 Maybe this guy knows what he's doing.

Speaker 38 I'm glad you went to Chris for expertise on that because right before you started talking about what's his name?

Speaker 24 The president of the team?

Speaker 45 No, the player. Oh, Jacob Marcy.

Speaker 38 Yeah, Chris called him Jacob Marce.

Speaker 58 We didn't.

Speaker 22 Don't undercut me like that.

Speaker 38 Why is he saying you did it? He just didn't say it on air, but he said it.

Speaker 10 What's his gross?

Speaker 27 What's his OPS?

Speaker 29 It's 1400.

Speaker 27 All right, Bonds' best season was 1422.

Speaker 42 That's crazy.

Speaker 45 I don't know.

Speaker 31 It feels like a little something to get excited about.

Speaker 14 You're a good player, it looks like.

Speaker 38 I think you've got to keep it up for a little while longer.

Speaker 85 I get it.

Speaker 36 I understand, but it's okay for the Marlott fan to be excited about something.

Speaker 19 Maybe like 10 games.

Speaker 27 I mean, Bonds did it for a season.

Speaker 51 And I understand.

Speaker 78 I get it. All right.

Speaker 28 And Barry Bonds, the greatest player I've ever seen.

Speaker 41 But you're excited.

Speaker 47 I just, as someone who has not paid very much attention to the Marlins this year, I don't know.

Speaker 19 That's something I feel like that's kind of cool.

Speaker 21 That's kind of fun.

Speaker 45 All right. There you go.

Speaker 47 So, yeah, something to keep track of.

Speaker 38 You know what, Zaz? I'm going to back you up. I'm not going to keep track of.
I have not watched the Marlins in forever.

Speaker 58 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 42 This is not the game.

Speaker 38 For them to get me back is tell me we got the next Barry Bonds.

Speaker 60 Folks, the leaves are turning. The weather's getting a little chillier.

Speaker 75 That means the football games are more important.
