Local Hour: Honolulu Izzy Covers a New Team

Speaker 1 Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

Speaker 1 It really does.

Speaker 3 I mean, a new tattoo, a bad haircut, waffle challenges.

Speaker 5 I've seen those waffle challenges.

Speaker 6 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.
Cuervo. What are you doing here?

Speaker 7 Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 6 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad reads, like, Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 8 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 7 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 9 This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stoogats Podcast.

Speaker 6 He's gone. It's all right.
You can stop complaining.

Speaker 3 Happy Friday, everybody.

Speaker 6 David Sampson's not here.

Speaker 6 I am. Izzy is.
Tony's here.

Speaker 3 I thought this was a really good day.

Speaker 6 I thought he was talking about somebody totally different, but no, we're just talking about in-house.

Speaker 1 Gotcha.

Speaker 6 Jeremy's here. Roy's here.
Chris Cody's here.

Speaker 6 Nothing says football is here, quite like one leg pointing in one direction and a pinky pointing in another.

Speaker 6 Anthony Richardson not doing anything to dispel the narrative surrounding his health and fitness. And it looks like Danny Dimes may get some playing time earlier than we thought.

Speaker 6 I know it's weird for me to start a show that's based in Miami with Colts talk, but the Miami Dolphins opened the season with the Indianapolis Colts, and now you may have a different quarterback.

Speaker 3 And Anthony Richardson was a Gator, so, you know, it's Florida. Also, I loved the headline so much on ESPN's stack there where it said, Anthony Richardson dislocates finger on big sack.

Speaker 3 And I was like, What?

Speaker 6 Do tell.

Speaker 1 First of all, I thought.

Speaker 6 Did that ever happen to you?

Speaker 3 No, I didn't know you had bones down there.

Speaker 6 You do have that bad finger, though. I feel like you get a lot of skin.
Where'd you get that finger injury?

Speaker 3 This happened just playing flag football.

Speaker 6 I don't even know if it even looks that in the big sack.

Speaker 3 It was on a flag pull of some sort because I just took off the

Speaker 3 glove and it was just pointing sideways. kind of like that

Speaker 6 that's kind of gross they're showing the picture right now on our video screen and i don't like it uh all right so i've only seen the still but i was listening to the big dog joe rose today

Speaker 6 it was a fm big news we've we've come right back around

Speaker 1 90 guys yeah trying again bro our ip i drove in today it was 45 minutes of hollywood being like hey joe they can hear you in naples and he was like

Speaker 6 it was great good morning over there it was great so now they're on 1043 the shark but not the shark it's that's right it's q a m You remember when

Speaker 6 they took us off the shark and they didn't tell us as a legacy show that helped keep the station alive? But now it's QAM, but it's on 1043.

Speaker 3 You guys sounded so different on FM. It's like a whole different group of people.

Speaker 1 That's how I felt about the Big Dog this morning. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Well, it was great to hear an AM lifer explain in the year 2025, guys, this FM signal, game changer. Crystal clear.

Speaker 1 Hey, Joe, they hear you in Vero Beach.

Speaker 6 Hey, how are you doing on Vero? Vero Beach. I got to tell you, this is nutty.
I loved every single second of it, but Big Dog told me that Anthony Richardson, that hit came from the front.

Speaker 11 You got to see that.

Speaker 6 You got to be better than that, kid. This didn't come from the side.
It came from the front. Now, I didn't see the play, but I trusted Big Dog with my life.

Speaker 6 So it looks like Danny Dimes is going to get some earlier playing time than, well, I mean, let's be real. We all thought he was going to get earlier playing time.

Speaker 1 Well, that was my first thought: immediately thinking, hey, Tony told you you can go bet on Daniel Jones for MVP. It's almost a sure thing the way that he was talking about it.

Speaker 3 And hey,

Speaker 6 before the season plus 20,000 starts.

Speaker 6 Any dimes, quite elite from getting

Speaker 6 QB1 reps. What's the first step, though? Very true.
His being out of the way, right?

Speaker 6 I also put a little quid on Teddy Bridgewater. I saw that he signed with the Bucs, and he might just be two injuries away from getting an MVP.
Hang on a second.

Speaker 11 Hang on a second.

Speaker 3 Because

Speaker 3 if Daniel Jones wins the MVP this season, Tony has now taken over Amin's spot as greatest prediction in the entire show.

Speaker 3 Because if we remember, he had the Geno Smith saying, almost specifically giving him exact numbers for the season, and everybody's like, well, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 And he almost hit those numbers to the to the number.

Speaker 3 And now we've got Daniel Jones as an MVP. And it's starting.

Speaker 6 It's starting.

Speaker 6 The first step is

Speaker 6 Anthony Richardson out of the way. All of a sudden, Daniel Jones comes in, starts looking good, starts building a little bit of momentum.

Speaker 6 All of a sudden, Shane Steichen and them boys start putting some wins together. Danny Dimes is the reason why, all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 These are my favorite kind of preseason prop bets, though. Like, I'm down to go around the room.

Speaker 6 20,000 to one.

Speaker 1 Who has this type of prop bet for me? Give me something.

Speaker 6 Did you not listen to what he just said? Did you not listen to what he said?

Speaker 1 Didn't you say Chop Robinson might lead the league in sacks?

Speaker 6 Yeah, well, like Cleveland Analytics.

Speaker 6 He's big on Chop Robinson. He's like, this is a good question.
How about Tony Analytics?

Speaker 6 Did you hear what you did?

Speaker 6 It could apply to literally anyone in the league.

Speaker 6 But the problem is the one that I started on has the momentum. I'm so in on this.

Speaker 3 What happened when Saquon Barkley left the Giants? The dude turned into the greatest running back in the NFL.

Speaker 3 So now Danny Dimes gets his opportunity with the Colts. I don't know, man.
Dude might be hurdling people ass first next year.

Speaker 3 Like, that's the type of shit that might happen

Speaker 3 if Daniel Jones, if he's going to be MVP He's got to do some crazy stuff.

Speaker 6 All right, let me let me tell you what you did Tony This is like a word-for-word reenactment to the best of my ability Baker Mayfield undersized could get hurt Kyle trash we don't know too much about him

Speaker 6 right unproven commodity in the NFL boom all of a sudden Teddy Bridgewater veteran presence with a talented team around him they make a deep run

Speaker 3 Yeah Teddy Bridgewater legend

Speaker 6 MVP. I literally forgot that.
Oh, Todd Bowles and them boys. That's the other part that I need to add there.
Todd Bowles and them boys. There you go, MVP.
You could literally do that about anybody.

Speaker 6 It's quite the leap. Yeah, the thing is, Baker's not hurt.
Anthony Richardson is for an indefinite amount of time.

Speaker 3 So like you're theoretical, yes, for sure, that could possibly one day maybe happen.

Speaker 6 Have you, but mine started yesterday. Right, but baked into this whole premise is that it's Daniel Jones still.

Speaker 3 Again, you never know. But it's also the New York Giants.
I think that's what we're missing out on. Brian Levin.
Babo and those boys are terrible.

Speaker 3 And so anything that they do in New York could just be, you know, smoke and mirrors. It could be when they go somewhere else.
They're absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 3 And didn't they already announce that there was going to be a quarterback competition in Indianapolis before they even signed Daniel Jones, which is telling you that even if Anthony Richardson was healthy, Daniel Jones could have taken over that job.

Speaker 6 I like you breaking down the Indianapolis Colts, and this reminds me of something that we were chatting about before the show.

Speaker 6 You sounded like an authority right now on the New York Giants.

Speaker 6 And the Colts. Yeah, and the Colts.

Speaker 3 You know,

Speaker 6 you could cover this league. Izzy.
Maybe. You can cover that.
You play flag football.

Speaker 3 Should start like one team at a time. But this is exactly.
So it actually happened with Joe Rose today. Maybe he's just like the through line.

Speaker 6 We were all listening to the big dog. We were free basing the big dog today.

Speaker 3 100%. He was struggling a little bit.
He was clearing his throat a lot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 At Tequila last night. Yeah.
He admitted that.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he had a corporate-sponsored event. A lot of Dolphin fans there.
How the lady stream yet?

Speaker 1 I had to sneak out of there, though. You know, I got to be up early.

Speaker 3 But one of the subjects there was who's going to finish in second in the AFC East.

Speaker 3 And it made me so sad/slash angry to think that we've already cycled through to where the New England Patriots might be better than the Dolphins again. Love the Patriots.
And they're super exciting.

Speaker 3 Like,

Speaker 6 they've got everyone's quarterback.

Speaker 3 They've got the new coach. And it's just like, wow, they might be something.
And already on the side of the road is the bleeping dolphins.

Speaker 3 And the main storyline is, will Tyreek Hill be on the team after the trade deadline? And I hate that shit.

Speaker 3 It just makes me it's the opposite of what you should be in preseason football was have some sort of hope. So what I wanted to do,

Speaker 3 you've done this in the past a little bit when you switched off of the Browns, right? But you didn't really pick one team yet.

Speaker 6 No, I lean.

Speaker 6 I picked the shield. I loved my free agency year and I toured the league's friends facilities and I got to enjoy game day experiences.
I got to see Patrick Mahomes versus Tom Brady.

Speaker 6 I got to see Aaron Rodgers versus Josh Allen.

Speaker 11 This was all with money, by the way.

Speaker 6 This was

Speaker 6 well game time.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's right. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Unless they're not, are they on hiatus? Still, game time. Still Jesus.

Speaker 1 Still the industry leader.

Speaker 3 Chris did it also.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sort of. Yeah, the Chargers.
I switched.

Speaker 6 I have kind of settled, though. I'm a Bucs guy

Speaker 6 because of Baker. I like the Bills, too.

Speaker 6 There's also like a weird kinship between Browns fans and Bills fans because when the Browns first left the NFL, the Bills welcomed displaced Browns fans into Ralph Wilson's Stadium.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and they always treated the Browns fans as like, you know, they commiserate over their bad football team. So there was always something kind of there.

Speaker 6 And I really enjoyed my time there in Buffalo. And now

Speaker 6 my algo is already cooked. I got all sorts of Cameron Ward

Speaker 6 propaganda. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I mean, he's got to be good. When Chris did it, he basically just took the Chargers, right? Was there a reason for it?

Speaker 12 It was because the Tua Justin Herbert thing.

Speaker 6 I was like, I want that quarterback.

Speaker 1 And then as soon as I did that, the Dolphins got really good. So maybe maybe this might work for you.

Speaker 3 Well, I'm going to do it a little bit differently, right? I'm not picking a team to just flat out be a fan of because that's going to be hard.

Speaker 3 Like, if the Dolphins surprise me and are good, then I have to have like full fandom for two different teams. That's not the way I want to do it.

Speaker 3 I want to do it where I'm just diving into this team almost as if I was covering it. Like, I'm going to get subscriptions to whatever local newspapers there are.
And anywhere in the world.

Speaker 6 You're going to do radio hits? Yeah, anywhere in the world.

Speaker 3 If you want to talk about X team, you're going to think about at least giving me a call because I'm going to have like pro football rankings of every football

Speaker 6 focus ranking. You got to put it in your bio too.
Single covers.

Speaker 3 NFL team here. I might even

Speaker 3 reactivate my X account and just change my bio to expert.

Speaker 6 Is he back on X? Yeah, your X account is just solely devoted to this team that you are covering.

Speaker 1 Exactly. It's a fan account.

Speaker 6 A fan.

Speaker 6 Well, no, no, no. No, a reporter account.
He's got bona fides. Fan.
No, he's got bona fides.

Speaker 6 Don't do this.

Speaker 6 Oh, wow, guys. The NFL news, it never stops.

Speaker 6 According to Jordan Schultz, Colts QB Anthony Richardson, who was declared out last night with a finger injury, had x-rays come back clean and will be back on the practice field

Speaker 6 in the coming days.

Speaker 13 I'll tell you,

Speaker 3 clean dislocation.

Speaker 3 It's not a break, and you just sort of pop it right back in and splint it and let the ligament strengthen up and everything. That's the best news.

Speaker 6 You know what they say? You don't lose until you sell. We're still holding tight on those Danny Dimes MVP odds.

Speaker 6 we'll see you on later in the season big dog was right this hit did come straight on he's got to see that he's a righty and don't protect yourself with your right hand also don't poo-poo izzy gutieras just activating a uh an x account to cover one team pat mcife show as a steelers guy that it's at practice this is the template's already been set now i'm not sure how many of those whatever six-figure followers are going to you know unfollow me immediately when i pick my team but um but there's a little brag right there there's per like i can't just pick any team so we have to do sort of a little bit of of an elimination game.

Speaker 3 Do we want to do that now and talk about which teams are going to be eliminated?

Speaker 6 Exciting. Establish your criteria.
Okay. Because it can't be the Dolphins.

Speaker 3 It cannot be the Dolphins.

Speaker 6 But we are going to randomly draw this team. So we have to, if we're going to have a pot of teams, we've got to eliminate the Dolphins because that wouldn't be fun.

Speaker 1 Let's give them the Jets.

Speaker 3 Well, here, I'll eliminate the entire division. No AFC East team.
Because, and here's the issue.

Speaker 3 If I'm a fan of the Dolphins, have been my whole life, no matter, it sneaks up on me when they're good, no matter how much I talk about not liking them.

Speaker 3 I can't be the Dolphins guy, and I can't be the reporter of the guy the Dolphins play twice a year.

Speaker 6 Can't do it. And Chris is our Dolphins guy.

Speaker 3 Right, right, of course.

Speaker 3 Nobody that was in the Super Bowl last year. Too big of a team.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you know, too many front rows. No Chiefs.

Speaker 3 No other teams from Florida.

Speaker 1 You sound like me when I picked a Premier League team, and this did not work well for me.

Speaker 6 Yeah, let my boy Cook because we got a Bucs guy on this show, too. No other team.
No Jags. And Tony's a Jags guy.
Okay, they go.

Speaker 12 I'm a Shield guy, but yeah, Jags are back in a big way.

Speaker 3 Backup reasons, but also just because it's too close. It's too close to Miami.
I want to sort of spread my wings. Fair enough.
Move around.

Speaker 6 No Browns, no Chargers.

Speaker 3 Already did those. Yeah.
Okay. No team that's too newsy slash no Aaron Rodgers.
All right. So that eliminates the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 The Boys and Steelers. And Steelers.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 3 And then the last one,

Speaker 3 not the worst.

Speaker 6 You don't want to cover a bad team? I just don't want to cover the worst team because nobody's ever going to call me.

Speaker 1 I have the team. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 6 Wait, who do you think is going to be bad?

Speaker 1 Are you saying? I have a team that I think fits all these criteria. Like, it's a perfect team.

Speaker 3 Okay, but we're going to do it randomly, though. Yeah, we got it randomly.

Speaker 6 I got the wheel ready. I want to hear your team, but also I want...

Speaker 6 This is subjective. There have been plenty of teams in NFL history that people assume are going to be bad.
The Saints are one of those teams that everyone assumes is going to be bad.

Speaker 1 This is the team I would want. If I was doing the bid again of leaving the Dolphins, this is who I would choose.

Speaker 3 I'll see if it's still on the list, which are the bad teams according to Nazi. To me, the three teams, and one of them we already talked about, although he's going to be MVP, they might be good.

Speaker 10 The Colts, the Saints, and the Panthers.

Speaker 3 And I know the Panthers ended last season strong, but I'm not going to be fooled by it. I've watched Young play too many times.
He's too little. I'm not following him.
Good takes, good takes.

Speaker 6 My man started playing better when he stopped looking so little.

Speaker 6 I'm not sure what happened then.

Speaker 6 Basically, doubled in size. They played well, and remember, size is not stature.

Speaker 6 And guys, one important thing that you need to know about the Carolina Panthers, if you're doing predictive analysis, who do they open the season with? I don't know. See, I don't cover it.

Speaker 6 They opened the regular season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In their history, they go to the Super Bowl every time they play the Jacksonville Jaguars week one.
Wow.

Speaker 3 I had to argue with 100%.

Speaker 6 That is 100% success rate. 100%.

Speaker 12 The Saints are going to be terrible, though.

Speaker 3 But it's my team. It's my season of covering a team.
I'm not picking the Panthers. I'm sorry.
The Saints, yes.

Speaker 6 Bad a boy. Saints are going to be a good one.

Speaker 3 And the Colts, just because of quarterback uncertainty, they might have an MVP. They might have a terrible quarterback.

Speaker 1 I'm confused why the team I'm about to say wasn't available. Which criteria, like the Bengals?

Speaker 3 Why can't you pick the Bengal? They're very much.

Speaker 6 I thought you said three teams.

Speaker 1 So you've eliminated the Colts, the Saints, the Panthers, the Jets, the Patriots, the Bills, the Steelers, and the Cowboys?

Speaker 3 I'd rather just tell you the teams that I still have alive.

Speaker 6 All right, right. That's what we got.
An easier way to do that, yeah.

Speaker 3 It leaves half the league. And I also eliminated the Titans because that's Mike's team.
Like, it's just the Cam Ward thing. It's too much of a team.

Speaker 1 And we have a Bucs guy, so the Bucs.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Right, right, right.

Speaker 3 So I already eliminated the Florida teams. That leaves me with, you ready? 16 teams.
The Ravens.

Speaker 6 The Blacks guy's also the Bucs guy. I'm also the Bills guy.
The Bills guy? No, Juju's the Bills guy. Oh, that's right.
Well, we got

Speaker 6 Jersey, though. He split Jersey guys.
Multiple Bills guys.

Speaker 3 Okay. I mean, that's why they're called the Bills, not the Bill.

Speaker 6 Bills, Bills, Bills?

Speaker 3 The Ravens, the Bengals, the Texans, the Raiders, the Broncos, the Giants, the Commanders, the Bears, Packers, Vikings, Lions, Falcons, Seahawks, Rams, Cardinals, and 49. This is easier.

Speaker 6 A lot of good teams.

Speaker 6 A lot of good teams.

Speaker 6 The Lions.

Speaker 1 It's Commanders or Bengals.

Speaker 6 That's it. So

Speaker 3 I can have a favorite. Like, if I were to just choose one, probably be the Commanders.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 3 Because they're just, I mean, toward the end of last season, that's a team that I always wanted to tune into. And

Speaker 6 plus a Jaden Daniels.

Speaker 3 But I wanted it to be random. I wanted it to be a team that I didn't already maybe have a connection to.
And if it does end up being the Commanders, great.

Speaker 10 It's meant to be.

Speaker 6 Rune for it to be San Francisco. San Francisco is also going to be fun.

Speaker 3 That one's tough. I don't want to be able to do it.

Speaker 6 I have the wheel if you want to spin it. Do you want to spin it now or do you want to spin it later?

Speaker 6 Yeah. Well, you did eliminate the bills.

Speaker 3 Let's spin it a little bit later.

Speaker 1 We could also put all the teams available in our bucket of death and you picked it.

Speaker 6 You want to do it that way? I'm just saying. We could do it.
Do you want to go old school?

Speaker 3 Or do we want to go computer-generated?

Speaker 6 Let's do it like analog. I have the wheel.
But do you have to have all the visual teams?

Speaker 6 All right,

Speaker 6 let's get the bucket.

Speaker 1 Let's do the bucket.

Speaker 3 Tony's got the list of teams. Just make sure those are the only ones left.
I swear if the big Apple one's in there, man.

Speaker 1 I think Fuentes may have already already bring them on.

Speaker 6 Oh, wow.

Speaker 6 Not like that. Tony, look at you.

Speaker 6 Oh, last one. Oh, that's too bad.

Speaker 1 Now I don't trust you at all, Fuentes.

Speaker 3 I've given birth to a team that's not even mine. How is that possible?

Speaker 6 A surrogate team?

Speaker 6 All right. We're back.

Speaker 1 See if Fuentes screwed this up again.

Speaker 6 Again! That's a Fuentes!

Speaker 6 Oh, my God. Tony!

Speaker 13 Tony, you're hired.

Speaker 3 Can we get a gentleman?

Speaker 6 All the integrity of this game.

Speaker 3 I've given birth to two teams now that are not mine.

Speaker 3 Okay, it's the Lions.

Speaker 6 Ah, I know. That's fun.

Speaker 12 You get a good head coach.

Speaker 6 By the way. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Before Fuentes screwed this up, I heard he was in the back saying, can you tell these talentless fools to use the bucket? And then he comes in here and screws it up.

Speaker 3 Can I get fanfare? Oh, okay.

Speaker 6 Do you want to hear what the wheel would have chosen? The Stinks. Yes, yes.
The 49ers. Oh,

Speaker 6 hey.

Speaker 3 I think I'm happier with the Lions. I can't believe you put back the Bengals.
I know, man. That was tough.
I think it's just going to be, I don't know.

Speaker 3 I think I was probably going to be like hypnotized.

Speaker 6 Everyone's going to be a Lions guy.

Speaker 6 I think so. Yeah.
They're on a down year this year. Remember, Ben Johnson's not there anymore.
They got a new offensive scheme. Aaron Glenn's not there anymore.

Speaker 1 Who is their offensive coordinator? Who replaced Ben Johnson? I'll look it up.

Speaker 6 Well, yeah. I will be the expert.
Is he?

Speaker 3 Starting.

Speaker 6 Give him tomorrow.

Speaker 6 All right. How many lines can you name?

Speaker 6 Let's see where you're starting and to see how, like, because we need to chart your progress.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and we need some, like, some storylines early on, right? So offensive coordinator, right?

Speaker 6 Obviously. Defense, too.

Speaker 3 Like

Speaker 3 the story of just their return, right? That AFC championship, that NFC championship game loss.

Speaker 6 I'm sorry,

Speaker 6 first-round loss before that, divisional loss. They did get hurt, but Aiden Hutchinson, I mean,

Speaker 6 but he's broke his leg. But he's coming back.
But he's back.

Speaker 6 A depoy candidate for sure.

Speaker 3 Easy, not relatively easy injury to return from, right? Didn't he just break his leg? It wasn't like a bad thing.

Speaker 6 He was running like a couple months after.

Speaker 6 He's going to be all right.

Speaker 3 Yeah, what else do we have? Is there going to be a decline in Jared Goff's play?

Speaker 6 He throws a lot of picks. In fact, you're asking us.
I took a future on him to throw the most picks. I'm sitting there.

Speaker 1 I'm just lost today.

Speaker 6 You want to get a guy like Goff to play that prop because his job security is pretty safe and he throws a lot of picks.

Speaker 6 And it's an unexpected pick because people have kind of settled in on Goff. It's all right.
He's a good quarterback, and that's a good team.

Speaker 6 So you go counterculture to why would a good team throw so many interceptions? So I think Jared Goff is a really good pick for Marshall. What do you think?

Speaker 3 Brown in general.

Speaker 3 I love number one.

Speaker 6 Fun story. Strong number one.

Speaker 6 Very strong physically. His dad, even stronger.
Yeah, they got a lot of weapons there, man. This is fun.
Jameson Williams, Breakout Canada of the Year, maybe.

Speaker 6 You do appear to be a bandwagon jumper, though.

Speaker 3 Because I think.

Speaker 3 But we can always go back to the video. It was a complete random.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 you do get a sick uniform set. I love it.
I love the blue. The white blue.
Honolulu.

Speaker 6 Honolulu.

Speaker 1 Thai food. Thai food.

Speaker 6 What are your biggest concerns entering the season outside of the coordinators?

Speaker 3 Because that is the big storyline surrounding the I'm going to guess the offensive line. I feel like Jared Goff needs a good amount of time back there.

Speaker 6 They got a good offensive line. Right.
Penney Sewell and them boys.

Speaker 3 Didn't they have a retirement Tony Back-Me-Up on that?

Speaker 6 Yeah, Frank Ragnow retired. Yeah.
They'll be all right. Tony Back Me Up on the X.
Well, I'll wait for Izzy to tell me that, but we need to reshape your ex account. Okay.
Lions, Lions, Lions.

Speaker 6 Honolulu Blue at Honolulu Izzy.

Speaker 1 Your profile should be lions, tigers, and Izzy Honolulu.

Speaker 1 Just kidding, just lions.

Speaker 6 I don't think anyone knows how to spell Honolulu. Great.
Honolulu. It's very

Speaker 6 Izzy Lions.

Speaker 6 Is that available? Probably not.

Speaker 3 Man, I love the Honolulu blue, though. Like, that was probably the best color choice for me.

Speaker 3 I don't love having to dissect that coach's.

Speaker 6 Well, a color scheme shouldn't really matter. You're not going to get merch, right? You're not a fan.
You should get a couple shirts. You got to uphold journalism here.
You're right.

Speaker 6 You're going to get polo. If you look at

Speaker 3 your ex-account, it's going to be

Speaker 3 dressed in the color of the team that I'm covering.

Speaker 6 Yeah, understood, but you can't buy merch or anything like that. You're not a fan.
You have to

Speaker 6 be impartial. We could probably get you a press credential.

Speaker 3 Do they play anywhere near here?

Speaker 6 I'll check the schedule. You're the expert.

Speaker 11 I will be the expert.

Speaker 3 I am just a newbie right now.

Speaker 6 I'm just getting into this. Well, this is establishing the floor, which you've done a very good job of.
It's only up from here.

Speaker 3 You know what? The only thing I maybe could have eliminated the Lions because Jamal Hill might be the Lions person. She's a 4.9ers.

Speaker 6 4.9ers.

Speaker 3 My husband's a Lions guy. Okay.

Speaker 6 So we're good. Yeah.
All right. And also a maintenance guy, apparently, according to Dan Lebatar.
Fumigator. Yeah, Fumigator.

Speaker 1 Izzy, I think your best options are going to be

Speaker 1 at Washington in early November.

Speaker 6 Oh, I thought that was like your handle.

Speaker 1 I'm like, that's the terrible Washington.

Speaker 6 No, no, no. That's got to be taken off.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to figure out how to get you to somewhere that's not D.C.

Speaker 6 I think I want to avoid D.C., particularly at night. You've got Philly.
You got Philly in mid-November. I'm pretty sure.
The federal government's taking over it. You're all right.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure the Dolphins are heading there straight there after Chicago. The Dolphins have like a two-week road trip.
So you could head there next week and do a whole like preseason.

Speaker 6 The Dolphins are playing at Lions August 16th.

Speaker 1 And they're practicing there. Yeah, like a lot of people.

Speaker 6 Full week of practice.

Speaker 6 Full week of practice against the Lions after their Chicago. The Dolphins are just touring the camera.
We're going to send you up there.

Speaker 1 I just decided. All right.

Speaker 3 That's a good way to get the background information in, right? Because I have to establish myself.

Speaker 3 So if I show up to a game, say, in like late November, early December, then everybody in the press box is going to be like, okay, I love it.

Speaker 1 The best game is October 12th at Kansas City. It's Sunday night football.
Good early.

Speaker 6 Too good.

Speaker 3 Too early in the season that involves the Chiefs, which is, you know.

Speaker 1 I love going out to practice. They give you the training camp roster, and you're just like looking out at the practice.
Monday night football the following week, home against Tampa Bay.

Speaker 3 Jeremy, give me a late season game for the Lions.

Speaker 3 that doesn't currently seem like a banger, but that other team is going to be surprisingly good. And right now, it's going to surprise teams or surprise people and be a really good game.

Speaker 6 Wow, October 5th, Lions at Bengals. That's too early.
What a storyline. No, no, the storyline's there.
That's true. And you have Lions at Ravens two weeks prior to that.

Speaker 1 Their early season schedule is sexier in terms of the matchups. I would say December 14th.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that's what I was looking at.

Speaker 1 At Los Angeles Rams.

Speaker 6 Oh, I love that. Which is a surprise.

Speaker 1 You can go to L.A.

Speaker 1 It's a 425 game on Fire.

Speaker 3 There's fireworks in that game offensively. I think that's the game.
We've got to lock that one in.

Speaker 6 December 4th, you said?

Speaker 1 Yep. So you're not going to cover them until week 15.

Speaker 6 No, no, he's building up. He's building up.

Speaker 3 According to Chris, Metal Arc has already committed to sending me to Dolphins, Lions in Detroit, preseason.

Speaker 6 Next week, by the way.

Speaker 11 How do you feel about working on holidays?

Speaker 3 Ooh, what holiday?

Speaker 6 Thanksgiving, famously. I'm good.
All right. By the way, your beat starts tonight.
You got to be all over preseason

Speaker 6 week one for the Lions.

Speaker 1 Who's starting?

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 6 What can you tell me about the Atlanta Falcons?

Speaker 3 Michael Pennix.

Speaker 12 And then boys.

Speaker 3 And then boys. Is he a junior?

Speaker 6 Pennix junior? Yes.

Speaker 6 Is he a junior? There you go. I thought he was a dash.

Speaker 6 Like a couple dashes. Oh, no dashes.
No dashboards.

Speaker 3 Junior.

Speaker 6 The other day, someone said, Carl Anthony Towns, he swings a baseball while I'm like, he's a Dominican. What do you think? He's a Dominican athlete.

Speaker 11 Good baseball player.

Speaker 3 Except I'm terrible at baseball.

Speaker 3 I've played softball one time. I've told this story on the show before, but I've played softball one time in my life.

Speaker 3 I was, I want to say 19, 20 years old in college, and they put me in left field because I looked athletic. Yeah, you do.
And

Speaker 3 there was a flyball. You put the glove up.
No, it just hit me in the chest. It just went straight beneath the glove.

Speaker 1 So the hand died.

Speaker 6 What was the noise that came out when the softball hit you?

Speaker 6 Probably like.

Speaker 3 And then I blew out my quad trying to beat out a single, and it was gone for the rest of the game.

Speaker 6 I like that. In the meantime.

Speaker 6 Real quick, want to talk to you about how GameTime is the official ticketing partner of the Dan Lebatard show.

Speaker 6 Kiss me where you bruise me.

Speaker 6 Taste me on that flashy part.

Speaker 15 Really?

Speaker 6 Yeah. Really?

Speaker 6 Taste me on that flashy part.

Speaker 7 Taste me, not touch me.

Speaker 6 Taste me on that flashy part.

Speaker 6 Wow. Wow, rose nets.

Speaker 6 I'm talking about the glitters.

Speaker 6 I'm talking about the glitters. Yes, I am.
Now we're out here riffing.

Speaker 6 And I'm going to try to find it if I can.

Speaker 6 Wonderful rendition. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 6 So you got Atlanta Falcons NFL preseason week one. Now, your team has already played.
So how much did you watch at the Hall of Fame game?

Speaker 10 Zero.

Speaker 3 0% of the Hall of Fame game. I wasn't established on this, as we've mentioned, until Joe Rose let me know just how sad this Dolphins season is going to be.
Like if Tyreek Hill gets traded midseason,

Speaker 3 I think I'm taking like a five-year break from the Dolphins. Wow.

Speaker 3 When I used to do Zaszlo's show weekly, when he was on with Joy Taylor locally, like that was the peak of when the Dolphins had just sucked all the fandom from me. I was legitimately not a fan.

Speaker 3 And then, you know, Tyreek Hill and Chua and all this stuff happened and they got me back.

Speaker 6 But if if this year is a is just if they don't finish second in the afc east this year five years vacation how quickly can we onboard you as a as a lions aficionado because i would like to do a standard old school radio hit as we preview the nfl you know 32 teams 32 days type of let's take a look at love the preseason schedule here because it's either going to be as early as this coming monday or it's going to have to be the following week depends on what we're looking at this we'll play it we'll play it totally straight the audience will assume that we've just been covering all the the nfl teams teams.

Speaker 6 We'll present it as such. And Izzy, you're going to be our Alliance guy.
Perfect.

Speaker 6 To give Izzy a second, is it worse if Tyreek Hill gets traded off the team or he's just not good and stays on the team?

Speaker 3 What's worse? I think dissecting...

Speaker 3 why he's not good and breaking down whether they need to, you know, get rid of Mike McDaniel because he's got all these weapons and can't do anything with it, or maybe Tua, if you say, hey, why can't he get Tyreek the ball?

Speaker 3 I think that's a lot more fun than if he's gone and you're just like, I mean, the next logical step in conversation there is, is Jalen Waddell at number one?

Speaker 3 Which I think we can still have that conversation, but is it fun?

Speaker 6 Did we ever get around to what Jalen Waddell was last year? Was he hurt? I mean, he was always hurt. Yeah, but I thought Jalen Waddell was good.

Speaker 6 And last year, a conversation around the water cooler over here was, is Jalen Waddell bad? It's polarizing.

Speaker 1 Like around here, there are people that think he's good, people that think he's not. I'm trying to think, who did we? What was the debate, Tony, that we were doing the Waddle versus who last year?

Speaker 1 Was it McLaurin?

Speaker 6 DJ Moore.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, it was DJ Moore versus Waddle. That was the big debate in the office.
And after last year, DJ Moore is clearly the better receiver, right?

Speaker 3 Well, when he was coming out of Alabama, I just remember the quote that I forgot who it was, but they said, of all those Alabama receivers, right, that's group of, what's

Speaker 3 three or four guys?

Speaker 3 He's one of them. He was called the athletic one.

Speaker 6 And I was like, wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 Of all those receivers, he's the most athletic.

Speaker 6 They also canceled Henry Ruggs.

Speaker 3 I was going to say, I don't see it, though. Yeah, he would have been like the Speedster anyway.
He would have been more like the Tyreek Hill of the group. But I don't really see it.

Speaker 3 Like, I don't see the crazy athletic stuff like i see uh was it dante smith like he looks like a deer out there he's very super light on his feet he's got a very specific like devante

Speaker 6 smith excuse me when i see him oh he's not an eagles he's not an eagles guy he's not an eagles it's like when joe rose said keon smith this morning he's been here for a long time we got to find out if he can play football i'm like i don't even know i'm just learning about this find out

Speaker 6 find out for me joe rose cam smith i believe he meant if you do that is that who he meant at the third year corner all right so there is a

Speaker 1 same pace is there a keon smith i know there's a cam smith you're You're the Dolphin guy.

Speaker 6 Third-year corner who hasn't played.

Speaker 1 I don't know who Keon Smith is.

Speaker 6 Well, I'm going to go. Now I'm confused.
Big bad people. Trying to find out who everybody is.
He did have a corporate event. You know, they should do this

Speaker 3 in the NFL. Like, do the silhouette of the receivers and just, like, take the team away.
Just do the silhouette of them running routes.

Speaker 12 See if you can tell who's who.

Speaker 3 Wouldn't be able to tell Jalen Waddell from any. Looks absolutely average in terms of the way he moves.
Tyreek Hill, I'd be able to tell.

Speaker 1 Dolphins have an offensive tackle named Keon Smith.

Speaker 6 We got to figure out how he's doing.

Speaker 6 He's not. He's going to play ball.

Speaker 1 He's low on the depth chart. Devontae.

Speaker 3 That's the one. But yeah, I just, I'm not, I want him to be great.

Speaker 6 Like, I love Jalen Wild.

Speaker 11 He's a big Panthers fan.

Speaker 3 I love the dude. I want him to be great.
So in a sense, maybe if they do get rid of Tyreek Hill, we get to see that once and for all, but it's not going to mean the team's going to be any good.

Speaker 6 Career lows across the board for Jalen Wanna last year. After 3,000-yard seasons, he had 58 catches for 744 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games.
Yeah, I'm worried about your Dolphins.

Speaker 6 Vibes also seem to be a little weird around the head coach.

Speaker 6 It doesn't help that we were told, like, I heard Kevin Clark on part of my take the other day, and he's like, every former player that I work with at ESBN hates Mike McDaniel just as a head coach.

Speaker 6 They hate Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 3 Even to as like a leader, it's a little bit divisive. Like, I could see people that just go sort of blind and say, yeah, yeah, I'll follow this guy.
Like, he seems to raw raw.

Speaker 3 And there's probably other people that are just like, I don't know, it's just kind of empty. Like, what is this? It's just like rah-rah for no reason.
There's nothing to it.

Speaker 3 And you could probably see the same thing with Mike McDaniel, right? Like, there's probably people that are just like, okay, I get this guy. I like the vibes.

Speaker 3 And there's other people that are just like, no, I need something a little bit more, I mean, for lack of a better term, militant, somebody who can just force me to do these things instead of somebody that I vibe with.

Speaker 1 So Tua's got a little bit of Russell Wilson in him then, right?

Speaker 6 That would be a huge story.

Speaker 3 I mean, I could see that in terms of like...

Speaker 6 In what way? Hold on. In what way? What do you mean?

Speaker 1 Please go into detail. I'm with Jeremy, though.
It's just a vibe. There's just something about Tua when he's at a press conference.
I'm just like, is he...

Speaker 1 I just don't know. I know exactly.
The question is, is it genuine, right? Like, is it like Izzy just said rah-rah just for the sake of being rah-rah?

Speaker 15 Are you talking about Tua tag ovalia?

Speaker 15 You see those new numbers impressive Tua tag ovalia

Speaker 6 It felt like well remember he was very reserved Brian Flores who Tua tag ovalia Brian Flores made work hell for our boy. That's that's your cue to a tag ovalia.

Speaker 3 I'm not gonna lie, if you just look at it, I've never given this man credit before, but that kind of like the way it should be pronounced.

Speaker 15 Tua tag ovalia.

Speaker 6 There's no N, but everybody says N, but there's no N. That's a dialect.
Of course. An entire family comes from Hawaii.

Speaker 15 Ovalia.

Speaker 6 An invisible N. An entire family just decided we're leaving Hawaii and we're going to go to Tuscaloosa.

Speaker 3 Before NIL.

Speaker 9 Nuts.

Speaker 6 How did they do that?

Speaker 15 Long trip. Ovalia.

Speaker 3 That's a great place to raise a a family.

Speaker 6 You know, growing up and following the recruiting beat, it was always hilarious to me to see how many local South Florida recruits would have dads that would just get jobs as car dealers in Tuscaloosa.

Speaker 6 It boggles the mind.

Speaker 6 Let's put that guy in charge of everything, too. And maybe pay him to be a lobbyist.

Speaker 1 Who knows? Alabama Jones.

Speaker 6 That was still a bar of a joke. All right, so we're worried about the Dolphins.
We're worried about the corners.

Speaker 6 We got to find out if Keon Smith can play ball.

Speaker 1 that that's it on the big dog agenda that's pretty high up there positive thing that i am hearing i'm hearing patrick paul could be quote a pro bowler oh and i've already i don't know who that is but i've already heard left left tackle replacing they drafted him last year he sat all year watched armstead and now he's gonna be starting directly affects our keon smith narrative so i'll keep it i just saw keon smith as the backup right tackle right behind austin jackson well he'll get some playing the dolphins are fine if patrick paul is fine i think the dolphins are fine at tackle and center the they have a left guard rookie and they they have James Daniels at right guard.

Speaker 1 So the guards make me nervous.

Speaker 6 All right, but we also have

Speaker 6 a quarterback situation because you always have Tua,

Speaker 15 tag, Ovalia.

Speaker 6 And the questions around his health, you brought in Zach Wilson. There's no way Tua, tag, Ovalia plays this preseason, right? No shot.
I hope not.

Speaker 1 I think last year they gave him a series. I could see them giving him a series

Speaker 6 in the first game. Don't give him a series.
Don't do that.

Speaker 1 A lot of teams are bringing the starters out for the first game.

Speaker 3 Give him a series, hand the ball off.

Speaker 6 We didn't see that at all in previous seasons.

Speaker 1 I know Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray, there are a handful playing

Speaker 3 this preseason.

Speaker 6 But we're going to see a lot of Zach Wilson.

Speaker 6 And Quinyures. Quinyures.
Everybody's talking about Quinures. Making the throws.

Speaker 1 I've seen a package put together of some plays where, you know what gets me excited about him? Is outside of the pocket. Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 3 So you're bypassing Zach Wilson altogether.

Speaker 1 I'm just, I have not seen them put together a montage of practice plays where he looks the way because, in terms of being out of the pocket and flipping your hips, I mean, that's what got him drafted so high.

Speaker 1 Like, he can do that.

Speaker 6 I'm just saying, he,

Speaker 1 the montage I saw looked nice of Quinn Ewers.

Speaker 3 Yes. Like, I don't know what, I don't know if it's a Texas thing.
I don't know if it's a...

Speaker 11 Is he taller?

Speaker 3 I don't know if it's a big white quarterback thing, but I don't remember him being average size.

Speaker 6 He's average size. Okay.

Speaker 3 I think it must be a Texas thing.

Speaker 6 6'2, which makes me think.

Speaker 6 He's about 6'1. He's 6'1.
About 6'2.

Speaker 3 Which still makes him, what, two full inches taller than Tua?

Speaker 6 What are the odds

Speaker 1 that Quinn Ewers, Brock Purdy's Tua?

Speaker 1 The way that, like, Brock Purdy overtook Jimmy Garoppolo, where everybody thought that his job was safe, and then he missed a little bit of time, and then Brock Purdy just stepped up into an offense that was kind of perfect for him and unlocked some skills.

Speaker 3 In Quinn Ewer's

Speaker 6 Marks Manning, who was potentially the number one pickup.

Speaker 1 He was a highly touted recruit who, you know, wasn't probably quite as successful as people thought he would be in college, but was a really good college quarterback and then shows up here in the NFL.

Speaker 1 I mean, look, it's probably unlikely, but it's not impossible.

Speaker 6 There were two guys, two passers in the NCAA last year that I think people were generally unfair, and there's a weird narrative around them when you see their numbers, especially I know Quinn Ewers went out and Arch, that's a hell of a situation, but also following Stetson Bennett at Georgia is a hell of a situation.

Speaker 6 I think Carson Beck and Quinn Ewers were really undervalued last year because of just the narrative. The guy breathing down the neck, and in Georgia, the guy that he was following.

Speaker 6 But Quinn Ewers, is there a quarterback battle between he and Zach Wilson and Zach Wilson's firmly entrenched? I think they paid him 10 million bucks.

Speaker 1 6 million, I believe.

Speaker 6 6 million, okay. That's too much money to pay Zach Wilson to do anything.

Speaker 15 Tag Ovalia.

Speaker 6 Folks, the leaves are turning. The weather's getting a little chillier.
That means the football games are more important. That means football time should be Miller time.

Speaker 6 Game day hits different with a Miller light in your hand. From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, my fantasy season's over already, but you know what makes that better? Miller time!

Speaker 6 It's the beer that's been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color you can spot from across the room.
And here's the kicker.

Speaker 6 It's just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different five decades later.

Speaker 6 So whatever your game day looks like, remember Miller Miller time is always a good time. Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 6 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.
Cuervo.

Speaker 7 Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 8 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 7 Cuervo.
