Speaker 1 Hey, Chris here.

Speaker 2 Black Friday game day is coming to prime and it'll be an epic day of live sports. Black Friday football is at the center of it with the Chicago Bears taking on the Philadelphia Eagles at 3 p.m.

Speaker 2 Eastern. That's followed by the final night of the Emirates Cup NBA group play and a doubleheader starting with the Bucks and Knicks at 7 p.m.
and the Mavericks and Lakers at 10 p.m.

Speaker 2 What a nightcap game that is. But the whole day starts with the return of the Capital One Skins game as four elite PGA golfers face off with $4 million on the line.

Speaker 2 Black Friday game day tees off with Capital One Skins game at 9 a.m. Eastern before the Big Bears Eagles game at 3 p.m.

Speaker 2 And it culminates with a double dose of Emirates NBA Cup action, featuring Bucks Knicks at 7 p.m. and Mavs Lakers at 10 p.m.
Only on Prime.

Speaker 4 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 5 What are you doing here? Cuervo.

Speaker 6 Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 7 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 6 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 10 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 8 The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Speaker 11 Cuervo.

Speaker 9 So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 4 Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 12 Brooksimo, Quervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

Speaker 6 The beloved Jim Mandich once

Speaker 6 described certain listeners during a different

Speaker 6 radio age.

Speaker 6 He would say of people who listened to the show during the working hours that they were corporate time stealing weasels.

Speaker 6 And this week, I'm the executive of a corporation and I've got on my hands an assortment of employees who are corporate time stealing weasels because no one's trying this week.

Speaker 6 No one in America is trying at work this week. And Chris Cody says to me, let's just do a Thanksgiving show.
I'll play Thanksgiving sounds from our past.

Speaker 17 Ooh, John Gruden, hand turkey.

Speaker 18 I see the hand turkey.

Speaker 6 Random Thanksgiving. You want to do.
Dr. Ducking.
You want to do... No.
I've got this right. There's no employee in America trying.
this week, correct?

Speaker 20 I mean, I felt like yesterday was a creative lift, pal.

Speaker 2 I tried really hard. I mean, I typed Thanksgiving into my computer and I saw what came up.

Speaker 6 What'd you find? Can you do better than them? Can you do better than them with your lazy Thanksgiving show as Mike's talking about what a heavy lift yesterday was?

Speaker 2 I mean, Mike said a great one. John Gruden talking about hand turkey.
Yeah.

Speaker 22 That was your cue.

Speaker 9 Don't say f ⁇ off the end.

Speaker 23 It's very important that I start at the rear first.

Speaker 12 This tail feather gives me speed and precision.

Speaker 23 And it's these mid-feathers you got to be careful with as you go around your Super Bowl ring, you know.

Speaker 23 But these middle feathers are the brain of the outfit, and this front feather that points the direction that this hand turkey goes.

Speaker 3 Do we forgive him? I forgive him.

Speaker 25 I forgive him.

Speaker 26 Jameis has this thing too.

Speaker 16 And I know

Speaker 6 now that Jeremy's back in, he's just so it's going to be likable. You're just going to do all that.

Speaker 19 This guy seems to have learned the lessons.

Speaker 27 It is Thanksgiving.

Speaker 21 I love him too.

Speaker 28 Like, you learned.

Speaker 14 I'm ready for you to come back to the job.

Speaker 6 Really? You guys are doing this this with...

Speaker 25 What?

Speaker 29 We decided it with Mike Tyson.

Speaker 13 He learned from the first one, the second one, the third one.

Speaker 30 I did my first ever radio show 21 years ago, Thanksgiving. First ever.
No experience.

Speaker 18 Throw me on the air.

Speaker 6 Sure.

Speaker 6 Nobody's listening on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 30 We needed someone to do...

Speaker 25 You're working

Speaker 31 working a holiday.

Speaker 18 So $9 an hour.

Speaker 30 I did like five straight hours on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 9 I had so many trembling voice sports flashes for me during the holiday shifts at 790.

Speaker 6 You were doing, Zaszlo was doing a five-hour solo show on the show. No, no, no.
It was me and Zach Krantz.

Speaker 9 Head coach Jacques Martin says David Booth should be good to go.

Speaker 26 Puck drop at the NCRCs at 730.

Speaker 6 Zaszlo, you worked five straight hours on Thanksgiving Day, no holiday.

Speaker 6 How much were you making an hour?

Speaker 30 Well, I was on salary, but my salary was so pathetic. You want to guess what

Speaker 30 my first year's salary was?

Speaker 26 $7 an hour.

Speaker 30 Let's remember, Stugatz was the one who, you know, he paid me.

Speaker 2 $28,000.

Speaker 30 That's exactly right.

Speaker 18 What? Wow.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 18 How'd you know that?

Speaker 19 I just guessed.

Speaker 21 As an on-air host.

Speaker 19 Well, no, I wasn't an on-air host.

Speaker 25 No, he was just a hand. Yeah.

Speaker 32 He was like a

Speaker 25 producer.

Speaker 30 $28,000.

Speaker 20 Occasional Flash Anchor and then occasional weekend talent.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 9 That's a going rate around like 2006 for Jonathan Zaslow.

Speaker 2 I feel like that's what I started at ESPN.

Speaker 21 Facts.

Speaker 34 This is the Don Levatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 6 So the two-time defending champion Panthers win 8-3 on the road,

Speaker 6 and it's the second story tonight because the team in sports locally that has been a tribute to organizational stability in this market over this century has announced that they've got that feeling that was around the initial Hassan Whiteside where, oh, the He'd have a freak too now.

Speaker 6 The Heat have an athletic freak now too who is very young and ridiculously athletic.

Speaker 6 And it's like watching Easier Alley Oops Tabam when he's around the basket because the He'd have a bona fide big man star in that sport where you're like oh shit that's athletic that's more athletic than almost anything i'm watching to have both of those things happen on the same night to have mike ryan still yelling and howling at the sky at anything university of miami related and to have chris cody wander in here and say do you want booger mcfarland talking about thanksgiving and i'm like yeah i do actually Hey, happy Thanksgiving, buddy.

Speaker 35 I'm going home to Tampa and I'm looking for some dressing and some ham because Boog don't do turkey, baby.

Speaker 6 what else do you have from your lazy Thanksgiving food lazy that's not lazy okay he's doing a tough

Speaker 2 run a search come on man I have Bill Belichick talking about his favorite side dishes other than football what's your favorite Thanksgiving side dish

Speaker 2 yeah

Speaker 37 well I mean pretty much everything there's not much food that I don't like so

Speaker 37 could we start with dessert

Speaker 37 but gotta leave room for everything else so

Speaker 37 yeah

Speaker 37 It's great. It's a great holiday.
It's a great holiday. Football, family, and football.
I mean, football, family, and food. So,

Speaker 2 yeah, sign me up.

Speaker 1 You forgot the family party.

Speaker 32 Football, family, and football.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he meant to say football and football and football.

Speaker 6 What else do you have from your Thanksgiving file of lazy work because you, like everyone else in America, isn't actually working this week?

Speaker 2 I have Rhys Davis reading a looks-like submission for us.

Speaker 6 Greg Williams looks like your divorced uncle who brings brings a call girl to Thanksgiving.

Speaker 18 I don't think we're calling them call girls anymore.

Speaker 38 Have a time, Dan. Have a time.

Speaker 21 Relax.

Speaker 26 Reese Davis must really regret that.

Speaker 6 I don't know how we got any of that sound. That all seems like ESPN sound.
None of that sound seems like it's ours. We got that in the negotiations.
We got that as part of our library.

Speaker 6 What else do you have from our majestic Thanksgiving file?

Speaker 2 I have a former Commander's owner, Daniel Snyder, wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving. first off, happy Thanksgiving to everybody.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 25 All right, so that's sad.

Speaker 22 It's a little lazy.

Speaker 25 Okay, I admit.

Speaker 26 I was really worried with the setup and the former team name on my Chris, Chris, Chris.

Speaker 27 You heard the silence.

Speaker 31 Where's he going? Where's he going? It took me a second to five commanders.

Speaker 14 It's like Will Chamberlain yesterday. It's like, it's in there somewhere.

Speaker 28 Somebody get me the right name.

Speaker 2 I have Les Miles talking about a favorite part of Thanksgiving.

Speaker 27 We can get to that later today.

Speaker 20 Can't tell the story of Thanksgiving without them.

Speaker 12 And I don't mean the Commanders.

Speaker 27 Call girl.

Speaker 28 Like, we're not doing that.

Speaker 28 It's Greg Williams.

Speaker 29 If I made a list of people, I would at least would want to say that.

Speaker 6 Look, I think my father calls them ladies of the night, or I think he graduated at his taudrius to Street Walker. But Call Girl, like, that seems like that was out of style.

Speaker 6 I don't, Call Girl was like two generations ago.

Speaker 6 It's not okay to say that anymore.

Speaker 6 That's not what we're calling Ladies of the Night.

Speaker 9 I think it's the most respectful way.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Do you have Les Miles there talking about Thanksgiving?

Speaker 42 I am the easiest man to please when it comes to food.

Speaker 42 I have to be honest,

Speaker 42 I think it's definitely the turkey with a warm gravy.

Speaker 42 Maybe it's the last

Speaker 42 spoon or fork of food on the plate, you know, that has a little bit of salt and pepper and maybe a little bit of the turkey and gravy and some of the stuffing that would be there and maybe just a smidgen of that cranberry stuff right not like a big not kind of overwhelm the last bite but that right there oh my goodness right that last bite's worth a lot

Speaker 42 I might add that the turkey sandwich with mayonnaise mustard and onions and a little salad a little

Speaker 42 lettuce kind of makes it makes for a good eating later too doesn't it now while he makes a tremendous point yeah

Speaker 6 not ready to forgive him I was just about to forgive him I was about are we ready for champion Les Miles to get back in the LSU hunt? Because that one's interesting.

Speaker 6 I want to get to Lane Kiffin later in the show, but

Speaker 6 let's bypass the Panthers for a moment and just celebrate what seems to be a Miami Heat team that's going to be relevant all year. They've won five straight.
Now, you might want to pay attention.

Speaker 6 Detroit won 13 straight. Like, they've lost twice, and Detroit is really good, but Miami is going to try with style of play,

Speaker 6 with, I dare say, revolutionary style of play in terms of what they're trying to do pace-wise.

Speaker 30 No, it is because they are on pace right now to be, to set an NBA record for fewest ball screens in league history.

Speaker 9 Can you settle a little mystery that I've had with you since yesterday? You texted me yesterday, you have a good team.

Speaker 3 And then 20 minutes later, I didn't respond to it.

Speaker 9 You're like, oh, I'm sorry, that text wasn't for you.

Speaker 22 I was like, there's no way this guy's talking about the Cyclones.

Speaker 9 Who was that for? Someone with the heat?

Speaker 38 Because they have a good team.

Speaker 6 It was meant for Mickey Harrison. Yes, and Mike Ryan and Mickey Harrison are like a lot of people.

Speaker 9 So you confuse sports owners.

Speaker 16 I get it. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Your Cyclones, well, your Cyclones also are. Your owner friends.
Your Cyclones representative standard bearers in the market, more first places than not during their tenure.

Speaker 7 Well, you know, we don't need to get into it.

Speaker 26 Been a bit of a dry spell for the Cyclones, but we are the top seed with two weeks left to go in the season.

Speaker 17 But damn, we have a Bueno predicament.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 2 we do. Bueno's been out all year.
He just came back, and we're starting playoffs now.

Speaker 9 We've been cooking without him all year, but we have to work him back into the rotation. And a lot of Fronton rust on Bueno last game.

Speaker 43 Now, the league has come down and made a ruling.

Speaker 9 Robin's been such a great replacement for us. They said Robin gets half the playoff matches, and Bueno gets half the playoff matches, which is great.

Speaker 16 If Bueno is in form.

Speaker 11 But if we're dealing with Rusty Bueno, Dan,

Speaker 29 we have a good thing going here. It's kind of like Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe.

Speaker 30 I was going to say it's kind of like Tyler Hero, except we learned Tyler Hero is still awesome, and the Heater are going to be better with him.

Speaker 3 We learned nothing about Tyler Hero.

Speaker 27 He fits.

Speaker 31 How would you say that?

Speaker 26 That was like the worst offensive performance of the season.

Speaker 30 Yeah, how about Simone Fontecchio make a shot?

Speaker 26 They were five of 27 from three.

Speaker 13 They had nothing to do with Tyler Hero.

Speaker 26 No, Tyler Hero, I looked at the box score.

Speaker 9 I didn't watch a game.

Speaker 22 But Tyler Hero seemed to have offensive game.

Speaker 31 He seemed to have had a good game.

Speaker 26 But I also looked at the box score, and I'm like, wow, Tyler Hero really fits in nicely.

Speaker 20 He helped the team win. And then I see box score, Norm Powell, zero minutes.

Speaker 26 I'm like, that's the one.

Speaker 6 Well, but if

Speaker 6 I can stop you for just a moment because

Speaker 6 it was fun going between championship excellence on my televisions because I wasn't watching two games at once. I was toggling between them.
And so I'm watching the Panthers throttle.

Speaker 19 What a team.

Speaker 6 Throttle Nashville, score eight goals against Nashville. And I'm watching that.

Speaker 6 But I'm also watching what has been the standard bearer for sports in this market over 25 years took the city away from the Dolphins.

Speaker 6 I'm watching this science lab across the street over here that we all know to be like a bit of a military school for we will sharpen the 10 best players into something and try and change the sport.

Speaker 6 Once we get out from what this Jimmy thing was.

Speaker 6 What you saw from Tyler Hero last night that is most encouraging is the game is going to be made very easy for him this way if you're going to open up the floor that way and have him just be super efficient mid-range when he's when he's just doing he's killing you in the mid-range.

Speaker 6 Now, they missed a million shots last night. Like that, that Dallas, they were playing the third time in four nights.
Dallas stinks.

Speaker 18 It was like 0-0, like midway through the first quarter.

Speaker 6 Dallas stinks. Wasn't it eight minutes without

Speaker 28 0-0?

Speaker 6 Both teams started like 0 for 6.

Speaker 30 Heat were 0 for like 3. I think it was 1 for 14 combined at one point.

Speaker 6 But let's not get lost in the minutiae of the following. Okay, yes, you could have lost last night.
Clay could have taken the three or not passed it up. Or you could have lost.
You should have lost.

Speaker 6 You threw the game away at the end. And Dallas just missed those shots at the end.
And it would have been a really bad loss at home. But macro on what we're talking about here,

Speaker 6 they're going after this season with a pace that doesn't have a precedent, that numerically you will see the time spent in the half court, when they run on you they will wear you down in the fourth quarter and they have at the center of it in khalil wear what appears to be a bit of an extraterrestrial like this is hassan whiteside if you can sharpen it in the new age of like oh that's gonna block that's gonna wipe glass that's gonna that's gonna make threes that's gonna dunk on you with easy lobs isn't it also important to remember though like when we were seeing these kind of numbers from hasan whiteside a hasan wasn't shooting threes kelloware is doing that but also when Hassan got to the heat, he was like 26 years old.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 30 And Kello wears, what, 20?

Speaker 8 So that's probably a major difference.

Speaker 6 Well, this is a bit of a spaceship, is what I'm saying, because I thought Hassan was almost 29. I thought,

Speaker 16 but spaceship is a good word.

Speaker 2 Where's 21?

Speaker 8 When you consider they're both a bit

Speaker 7 dubbed to be astronauts.

Speaker 9 Let's just put that kindly.

Speaker 6 Okay, but so, so.

Speaker 26 Don't forget, like, you've had some of that.

Speaker 22 Like, Spo's called wear out publicly.

Speaker 9 Like, this guy needs to learn how to be a pro.

Speaker 30 And look how he's responded.

Speaker 26 So far, so good.

Speaker 16 I'll do it. I'll do it.

Speaker 2 No one else wants to do it. I'm going to look back at Riley, Pat, Jeremy.

Speaker 9 I'm sorry.

Speaker 18 Thank you. Why are you seeing so did Jeremy? We've doubted.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 This guy for a couple years. We wanted to get rid of.
We wanted Kevin Durant.

Speaker 40 Get rid of wear. Get Kevin Durant.

Speaker 15 Jeremy?

Speaker 2 I see what you guys saw. I'm sorry.
Thank you.

Speaker 9 Kevin Durant would look nice in this offense.

Speaker 44 I know he's dealing with something right now.

Speaker 12 No, you don't think so?

Speaker 18 No, I'll give him Jovich.

Speaker 6 No, it would smother the usage rate. Like, it would look,

Speaker 6 I'm kind of startled to see this part of it, right? Because I've told you before, we can concede, right?

Speaker 25 Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 9 Kevin Durant would smother the usage rate, but Tyler Hero isn't?

Speaker 30 That's why I said I'll give him Jovich.

Speaker 9 I'd much rather have Kevin Durant have Tyler Hero's usage rate in this offense than Tyler Hero.

Speaker 6 Look, we can discuss this again if you want, because I know that you would have liked to play an all-or-nothing season on whatever is left of Kevin Durant, which might be a push in Houston that makes them a good deal better because that's an unstoppable player.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 3 Thank you for opening that door over there.

Speaker 13 It was going so well for the Pro Heat guys, but

Speaker 6 wait a minute. I want to stop you for a second.

Speaker 6 I do want to stop you for a second because can we trust that the people across the street over here that they know a little bit more about the science of what they're doing than we do? No.

Speaker 14 No, no, they went two seasons wasting a window and we pounded tables for them to do something.

Speaker 20 They did something and now look at them.

Speaker 22 No, they don't get it.

Speaker 32 Oh, god. You know more than that.
You've been away the last two seasons.

Speaker 28 Stop it.

Speaker 29 No, I'm glad that they writeed the ship it would appear, and they're going to be a feisty little four seed.

Speaker 40 That's cool.

Speaker 14 They need to continue adding.

Speaker 32 All right, that's what this team is.

Speaker 6 Just settle down. You haven't watched the parade.

Speaker 27 You can't settle down. You can't even get the chance.

Speaker 12 You won't settle down.

Speaker 6 You can't even get the chance.

Speaker 28 You lose to Jerade, the back of the play-in.

Speaker 19 Listen. Stop it.
Stop it.

Speaker 27 Stop with this victory parade.

Speaker 31 You can't even watch this. Stop this game.
Stop with this victory parade. Like, you guys accomplished something.
Listen.

Speaker 18 You're two games away from being the 10th seed, going to Chicago.

Speaker 25 I mean, Stop it. Yes.

Speaker 6 Well, Milwaukee's not even the 10 seed right now. Boston's at the bottom of the conference.
It's 15 games.

Speaker 17 You guys sound like losers.

Speaker 18 Paul did something. Listen.

Speaker 45 You don't need to watch the game.

Speaker 28 Well, I'll watch what you're doing.

Speaker 41 You don't know how to get it.

Speaker 12 Chris, explain to me what I do have to do.

Speaker 21 Get to prime.

Speaker 1 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 47 All these high-paid analysts, I don't want to mention names, TNT,

Speaker 47 ESPN, you know, oh, yeah,

Speaker 47 they are dead. They cannot,

Speaker 47 they are not going to make it, you know, even if they win in,

Speaker 47 if they lose in Miami.

Speaker 6 I try to calm you down. I know.
I try.

Speaker 47 If they lose in Miami, they don't get a chance in Boston. Oh, they are going to have their ass, you know what, in Boston, you know.

Speaker 18 Stugats.

Speaker 47 They were wrong they were are they going to lose their job no are they going to get a cutting paint no what are they going to do keep predicting what is the obvious they're going to say oh the nuggets are going to win oh then we're the altitude and you know what the heat are going to win it all this is the dan lebatar show with the stugats

Speaker 45 you do not and cannot I have a block on my screen top right

Speaker 6 find the heat we are asking you if you're watching these things, because this part I think is going to be annoying to Tony and Jeremy, if I'm feeling what they're feeling correctly.

Speaker 6 Jeremy is someone who loves the heat, and Tony is someone who loves basketball. Just basketball, the art of basketball.

Speaker 6 To have you come over and not even be able to find the heat on a channel so you don't know the enthusiasm that Khalil Ware is actually producing for the fan base because he was like the leader last night.

Speaker 44 Let me be clear. I know how to find it.

Speaker 9 I just don't want to support that regional network.

Speaker 26 But Chris is like, oh, you can support Bezos.

Speaker 9 I'm like, that's way better.

Speaker 18 He seems nice.

Speaker 30 He was like the leader last night, Kell Elware. He was barking at dudes.
He's swatting shots into the fifth row.

Speaker 30 I mean, would I like him to swallow the shot like Alonzo used to do and not put in the fifth row? Fine, but it still gets that emotion out of Kell Elware. And that's what I like to see right there.

Speaker 2 I think it's time we redraft 2024.

Speaker 30 Dan, Dan,

Speaker 30 Kell Elware should have been the number one overall pitch in last year's round.

Speaker 28 I might have to push bash. I might have to push back.
You don't have to push back.

Speaker 12 I have to push back.

Speaker 30 I'm going to save you the time from looking stupid, okay? Because if you have a seven-footer who hits threes and is 20 and 18, that guy is not the number one overall pick of the family.

Speaker 36 I might take the rookie of the year

Speaker 3 from that draft class.

Speaker 33 I might take the rookie of the year from that draft class.

Speaker 30 That draft class

Speaker 30 is hot.

Speaker 18 I don't know that guy.

Speaker 33 Garbage. If Stefan Castle won the rookie of the year, he's really good.

Speaker 29 He'd probably go number one.

Speaker 2 I know what team he plays on, but tell Mike.

Speaker 26 That sounds like a 2K.

Speaker 2 He plays for the Spurs.

Speaker 30 Zachary Risachet was number one.

Speaker 43 Alex Saar was number two.

Speaker 10 These are not real names.

Speaker 2 You're making up names.

Speaker 30 You tell me, Kella Ware, you do a redraft. He's not the number one number.

Speaker 32 He would go two. He would go two.

Speaker 48 He would go number one based on names that I've heard of before.

Speaker 14 That seems to be a really bad draft class.

Speaker 30 A seven-footer, historically bad. A seven-footer who gives you 20 and 18 is going number one over six foot six, Stefan Castle.
Tony, get a clue.

Speaker 33 Buddy, if he was good, you would have won Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 18 In Zaz's defense,

Speaker 18 you're out to launch.

Speaker 13 In Zaz's defense, win share leader and value over replacement player amongst the careers of that draft class thus far.

Speaker 1 Kalel Ware leads in both.

Speaker 30 Kella Ware is so much more valuable than Stefan Castle will be.

Speaker 24 You're out to lunch.

Speaker 6 All right, so I've got.

Speaker 14 Hey, lunch is here, buddy.

Speaker 25 Right here, look at me.

Speaker 16 Tony? Right here. Mediterranean.

Speaker 32 Meet you later.

Speaker 27 Sounding like a sucker.

Speaker 14 I do that to you. You don't do that to me.

Speaker 3 We get some of that to Bully later.

Speaker 6 Tony?

Speaker 14 Dan, he called me a sucker.

Speaker 31 He never calls me a sucker. I call him a sucker.

Speaker 6 Tony. Played yourself.
Tony, I don't know what's happening here, but this is what's just happened, okay? And it has been a

Speaker 6 crash course in Zaszlo because he looked at you and hit you in the face with the dead fish of, are you high? Get a clue. You're out to lunch twice, and then you played yourself.

Speaker 6 I just saw him dance on your grave.

Speaker 14 He tried to. With the finest.

Speaker 6 The finest of the Zaszlo moves.

Speaker 31 Well, what is the deal?

Speaker 30 What Adidas he got on there?

Speaker 31 He bought those at Payless.

Speaker 30 Whatever, man. Don't get upset that

Speaker 30 I nailed you. I nailed you with all.

Speaker 14 How do you figure Stephon Castle 6'6, great on defense, great scorer?

Speaker 10 What is this height? Come on, what are we doing?

Speaker 28 Because a seven-footer instead of 6'6 ⁇ , he's valuable.

Speaker 32 Give me a 6'6.

Speaker 9 Can we just sit back and appreciate that we were headed someplace informative and substantial when it came to heat discussion?

Speaker 29 And then Dan invoked Kevin Durant and it all went off the rings.

Speaker 6 Okay, you took the bait.

Speaker 18 Letting me seize on this heat culture war.

Speaker 6 You took the bait because you want to dampen what's happening around the heat, and you shouldn't.

Speaker 6 and the panthers have set the new standard in town but the heat have been the standard in this town and what they've managed to do back baby in the post jimmy butler kevin durant era of whatever basketball becomes

Speaker 6 is they'd like to have a sleeker model of thing and it can be that if it's tyler hero and norman powell and it's bam out of bayo and it's khalil ware wait are those four guys gonna figure it out because that those fours a lot like that that seems to be a four that would be really athletic and fast and if they're gonna play the pace at that then you add pieces at the deadline and then they're playing for the top of the conference because detroit what have you ever won that's right toronto's number two hell out of here jump i'm with i'm with you on toronto i'm with you on toronto i think they're a bit of a of a front runner right now i think detroit is a real team though that team's good though second in the east coast that that i mean Ingram is really good for them.

Speaker 6 He's another one of these spaceships. Like, he's been underrated because New Orleans swallowed all the things he could have been.
And, like, that's a really good player.

Speaker 6 And Scotty Barnes is your best player, and he's your second-best player. That's a really good two.

Speaker 13 They're also a bit of a matchup problem for the Heat, and that the Heat's primary,

Speaker 13 we'll say, A players are guards and big men.

Speaker 13 Their wings are sort of the question of how much they'll be able to step up, whether that's Andrew Wiggins, whether that's Nico Jovich, even Jaime Hakus Jr.

Speaker 13 coming off the bench, and he's not quite the size of those guys in Toronto. That is a matchup problem problem defensively.

Speaker 18 But he's been great.

Speaker 13 He's been great. And last night he was, he was kind of sloppy off the bench.
Like their whole team struggled. They were five of 27 from three.

Speaker 13 And the guy who ultimately saved them offensively at the end and throughout the game booing them was Tyler Hero coming off an injury, having not played in 17 games to have that type of timing on the mid-range game that Dan spoke about, floaters.

Speaker 13 He started 0 for 4. He then hit 12 of his next 14 shots, including the game winner.

Speaker 33 If you look across the East, too, like all the bigs have interesting situations with them.

Speaker 33 The Heat have two great defensive bigs that, if that can kind of propel them, and the guards and the wings can figure it out, like that's a top of the conference kind of front line.

Speaker 13 Kalel Ware, the most encouraging part isn't just the rebound numbers. Yes, 16 rebounds per game since the text messages back and forth with Udonis Haslam after that Knicks game.

Speaker 30 Man, Bett still looks stupid as hell.

Speaker 13 But it's also the way he's accumulating blocks.

Speaker 13 At the beginning of his career, last year and even the beginning of this season, he was chasing blocks just like Hassan Whiteside, just those same things that we learned.

Speaker 13 And defensively, they were like, he needs to learn to be a part of a team defensively. Last night, he led the Heat in minutes.

Speaker 13 When you want to know how the Heat feel about someone, when you want to know how Eric Spolster feels about someone, it's ultimately just the minutes they play. And for him to leave.

Speaker 29 Probably most coaches.

Speaker 13 Not just Tyler Hero, not just Bam at Abio, but to have him playing 34 minutes last night, anchoring that defense and not chasing shot blots, it ultimately shows you the type of evolution that you have.

Speaker 2 That's a real deep take of when a coach plays a guy a lot, that means he likes him.

Speaker 13 It's a different conversation. You can love a prospect, a project, and not play them too many minutes to overexpose them.

Speaker 13 To have a 21-year-old kid who at the beginning of the year, you were sitting for stretches, now anchoring your team and having games like this one on a night where no one was really doing anything.

Speaker 30 And you saw there was cheating last night, too, by the referees, where they called that one Aliupa goaltender.

Speaker 6 That's credit caught from Pellas cheating okay but let if I can just get you guys to look at the last 20 years through the prism of what the expectations are for this franchise the starting point now on the conversation because the conference is open the starting point on the conversation is oh the heat are going to be interesting again they're going to make us wonder oh what do you trade in the defensive rating when tyler hero's getting you those mid-range buckets but you're trading it on defense because he's a liability there.

Speaker 6 We know this.

Speaker 2 If they had this exact same record right now, playing the same way they played last year, I don't think we'd be this excited.

Speaker 31 The big news to me of this is the style.

Speaker 2 They're the fastest team in the league all of a sudden.

Speaker 6 Well, they're going to be interesting is my point.

Speaker 6 They'll go 5 for 27 every once in a while in threes, and they won't score 140. They'll score 104 at the third game in four nights.

Speaker 6 I'm more interested in the fact they're going to make the regular season interesting because where's the soap opera of, okay, do Hero and Norm Powell fit? Oh, whose team is it?

Speaker 6 Is Khalil Ware going to grow up? Now you start investing in the personalities. And is this going to be a team I love because they're actually a team? Or are they going to fight over the silly shit?

Speaker 6 Like, is Bam going to be the all-star team?

Speaker 30 Is Bam the fourth?

Speaker 6 But that's the thing, right? Like, that's where you get excited. And yet, still,

Speaker 6 offensive rated and defensive rating, Toronto's better.

Speaker 9 Bad box score last night for Bam.

Speaker 2 But if it's your fourth guy, you can live with that.

Speaker 6 Toronto's better. Like,

Speaker 6 it's not just that Detroit's better. Toronto is also better.
And that's okay because those two teams don't scare you.

Speaker 6 Like, those organizations don't scare you because they're going to revolutionize how the wings play, and they're going to have something that's,

Speaker 6 yeah, that Khalil Ware, is he going to grow into a star? Like, we've been saying the next player has to be better. The next player that Bam and Tyler play with has to be better than them.

Speaker 6 What if it's Khalil Ware?

Speaker 30 I would say that the should have been number one overall pick in last year's draft is going to be a star yet.

Speaker 9 Well, before the season, if I gave you high-end expectations, and if I tell you Miami's got to reshape the way that they play and they're going to hit a home run with the Powell acquisition, then you're really psyched about what this team could do at the deadline.

Speaker 9 But the Terry Rosier thing is looming over this franchise, and it's actually like a huge pick.

Speaker 30 Well, but is it looming over the franchise?

Speaker 26 It is in that they can't, like, they have a shot in this conference. People are hurt, it's kind of wide open.

Speaker 29 They have enough capital to go out there and get the next superstar that's a malcontent, and

Speaker 8 they have a roster spot and a salary that is easy to flip around the deadline that's expiring and they can't move it.

Speaker 30 Like, I get it that Rosier makes a lot, and you're right, like it's it's total bullshit, obviously, and Adam Silver doing nothing per usual, most overrated commissioner in the history of league sports.

Speaker 30 And the Heat are sitting here with an asset that they could trade, but like, who's the guy right now?

Speaker 30 Are you saying that between now and February, someone will pop up?

Speaker 9 I assume someone always pops up around the deadline, and I'm just saying, like, this is something that's a job would not fit what they're doing.

Speaker 19 This is unfair.

Speaker 9 What the heat are saddled with right now, because they have a piece.

Speaker 22 You're right.

Speaker 29 It's a strange thing in the NBA where a terrible contract is.

Speaker 6 It's unfair, but I just don't know.

Speaker 30 It's unfair, but I totally, but

Speaker 30 I don't know that it's holding them back.

Speaker 33 But where's the resolution, right? They knew about the situation, and then Miami traded for them, said nothing, and now we have

Speaker 33 an FBI indictment.

Speaker 14 We're now 26 years old.

Speaker 6 It wouldn't be Miami if there wasn't an FBI indictment somewhere around everything that's happening here.

Speaker 34 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 6 Zazzlov, just for the record, is out of control.

Speaker 2 He's cooking.

Speaker 6 I mean, but look, so let's slow the show down. Do your little Thanksgiving.
Let's eat.

Speaker 45 Let's do a landman to him, Dan.

Speaker 39 I have another looks like right by the legend Bob Lee.

Speaker 6 Okay, let's see what that is.

Speaker 39 Stephen A. Smith looks like the family member of Thanksgiving that takes personal offense when someone else declares the sweet potato is the best dish over the stuffing.

Speaker 51 Back to your show.

Speaker 6 How did we get this sound from ESPN? This doesn't seem to be.

Speaker 3 How did we get Bob Lee to respond to that email?

Speaker 6 You guys have noticed that Zaslow is flying high. He has yelled at Tony, are you high? Get a clue.
You're out to lunch twice.

Speaker 12 Guys, wrong.

Speaker 6 Twice, you're out to lunch.

Speaker 6 Who did you say was looking like a fool?

Speaker 6 I was having a hard time keeping up. You said, oh, yo, Ben Stiller.
Yo, Ben Stiller, you look like a fool.

Speaker 6 And you're just, and you're saying that someone's doing nothing. Oh, yes, Adam Silver's doing nothing.
I'm having trouble keeping up with you because you're shooting radio shrapnel in every direction.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 30 I'm creating a list today. All right, Tony, you're right at the very top.
You might be able to work yourself off. I don't know.
I can't put it on.

Speaker 2 I'm going to keep Adam Silver at the top of the list. How about that?

Speaker 33 Let's keep the main thing, the main thing right now.

Speaker 30 Ben Stiller, Adam Silver, for sure. Yes, I'm crafting a list on today's show.

Speaker 6 Okay, so, but Tony's got an objection to Zaz in general, and I need to get to UM stuff here because I know Mike is annoying, but he's got some good points. What's going on there?

Speaker 6 He's got some good points.

Speaker 6 And I really do love that

Speaker 6 Miami is a conversation piece. It exists in sports teams.
This Miami team exists to be the conversation piece that gets people arguing, which makes all of this stuff work.

Speaker 6 As long as you care and you're going to get outraged about the 13th team, then they'll go to 24 in a couple of years. So Mike can get into the playoffs every year and shut up for a while.

Speaker 22 I'd like to go to the playoffs every year.

Speaker 16 I'd like to go to Charlotte. Look,

Speaker 11 we lost the dumb one.

Speaker 17 I'm sorry.

Speaker 9 We shouldn't have lost that game.

Speaker 11 The bummer about it was, and we were all screaming, saying, hey, you're going to lose a dumb one if you keep this going.

Speaker 9 and they and they did but Miami's learned from that and Miami's a different team today and I think there's a lot of group think

Speaker 22 and the question that is being asked by most morons is what would happen if the two teams played today Miami and Notre Dame allow me to tell you what would happen because I went back and I watched that game between Miami and Notre Dame that was a physical line of scrimmage beatdown There was meat on the bone for Miami.

Speaker 29 Miami was very, very close to making that a 21-point game in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 16 It was a three-point game.

Speaker 48 I understand where it finished.

Speaker 11 And the way that Notre Dame climbed back into that game and made the final score look better than how the game actually played out was Miami got penalties and Miami ran predictable A-gap offense.

Speaker 43 Miami has since learned from that.

Speaker 29 Notre Dame is not the only team that is different from that game.

Speaker 9 Miami has improved and learned from SMU.

Speaker 5 What would happen if Notre Dame played Miami today?

Speaker 16 What would happen if Miami played Louisville today?

Speaker 22 What would happen if Miami played SMU today?

Speaker 29 We can do this all day, but I can tell you what would happen if Miami played Notre Dame.

Speaker 6 You could do this all day. I would.

Speaker 43 I have in my group chats.

Speaker 21 I do.

Speaker 18 And on Twitter. I'd like to.
I just texted on Wednesday.

Speaker 40 Anybody know an AP voter? You should be working them.

Speaker 3 And the coaches, more on that in a second.

Speaker 29 But Miami would, Miami would beat up Notre Dame, and I think it would look worse.

Speaker 26 You've heard every excuse in the book for why Notre Dame performed that way week one. This is our quarterback's first start.

Speaker 43 Okay, he was the best player on that team.

Speaker 52 You got a Heisman sexy hot pick that got 10 carries and he finished for 33 yards in that game.

Speaker 30 CJ Carr wasn't the problem.

Speaker 43 CJ Carr was pretty freaking awesome in that game.

Speaker 40 Oh, we had a new DC.

Speaker 32 So did we!

Speaker 26 Miami had a new defensive coordinator and that's absent from the discussion.

Speaker 43 You're the only team that's allowed to have a new DC. The game was 27-24.

Speaker 48 I feel like there were more points on the board for Miami to score than there were for Notre Dame.

Speaker 22 I think Miami's defense is even better than they were week one against Notre Dame.

Speaker 26 So yeah, spot the ball and let's play that game.

Speaker 30 So what's your big question?

Speaker 29 My question right now is why isn't the rest of the nation seeing this?

Speaker 40 That Miami is a damn good team. That you look at the teams ahead of Miami and if you spot the ball in the middle of that field, Miami can win these games.

Speaker 43 Miami's not getting outmatched when it comes to talent. Miami beat themselves in their two losses.

Speaker 40 Miami, with a team like that, that's built the way they are along the line of scrimmage, they are not getting blown out in a game.

Speaker 29 There's a lot of teams in that top 12 that I'm looking at them like they don't have a snowball's chance in the middle of the game.

Speaker 30 That's your question?

Speaker 44 Miami's not one of those two. That's your question.

Speaker 27 Doesn't the results matter?

Speaker 18 The results should matter.

Speaker 13 Isn't that what your argument has been?

Speaker 18 The results should matter.

Speaker 13 So it doesn't matter if they beat themselves, they lost the games.

Speaker 38 I understand.

Speaker 12 That's your question, though.

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 30 Okay, because my question is, would every GM in the NBA, or definitely every GM in the NBA, take Hell El Ware over Steven Cash?

Speaker 6 All right, but I don't know what's happening around here when Mike has now invoked Snowball's chance in hell.

Speaker 18 Like, not a Snowball.

Speaker 31 It's a bummer.

Speaker 25 Miami's a bad chance.

Speaker 19 Miami's going to go 21-4 over their last two seasons and be shut out.

Speaker 29 Now, last year, I did the propaganda thing a little late.

Speaker 9 They blew a 21-point lead at Syracuse.

Speaker 26 They were a flawed team.

Speaker 16 They were a flawed team.

Speaker 18 We got what we deserved last year.

Speaker 30 You can admit they'd cancel the NBA season if the Spurs took Kello where over Stephen Castle and he had wear and

Speaker 19 canceled the season, right? I agree.

Speaker 30 You understand. Tony, you understand that, right?

Speaker 45 No. Or are you still out to lunch?

Speaker 30 No. You might still be out to lunch.

Speaker 6 What does that mean as an insult? Out to lunch.

Speaker 38 That means I'm not here, Dan, but I'm here.

Speaker 6 Chris,

Speaker 6 Chris, I need to slow the show down because sports arguments keep breaking out. I need you to throw it.

Speaker 1 I'm standing. He's sitting, by the way.

Speaker 6 Throw some Thanksgiving stuff in here.

Speaker 27 I'm a lot of comfort.

Speaker 6 I also have to keep Tony off of Zaszlo because Tony is disgusted by the way that Zaszlo represented ESPN in Madison. What?

Speaker 19 What? What this guy?

Speaker 28 Look at him. Look at him.

Speaker 18 Look at him.

Speaker 16 Put the camera on him.

Speaker 3 Look at the camera on him right now.

Speaker 19 Put the camera on him. Yeah, look at that.

Speaker 25 Look at this, please.

Speaker 18 Look at that punch. Yeah.

Speaker 32 Like,

Speaker 49 you have stuff.

Speaker 33 You have money to go and purchase things.

Speaker 14 And you go purchase that.

Speaker 52 Yo, don't pocket watch me.

Speaker 14 I'm not pocket watching you. I'm just looking at you and saying like,

Speaker 30 I'm very pleased with the way I look there. What are you kidding me? I got a nice ESPN radio hoodie.
That was free. And I'm not dressed like an Eskimo like the girls.

Speaker 6 It was 20 degrees. Whoa.
Hey, it was 20 degrees.

Speaker 18 We can say that.

Speaker 26 No, we can say that. Play on, play on.

Speaker 10 We can say that again.

Speaker 6 It was 20 degrees. And you're not.
How free? You can't say indigenous person. How cold were you? 20 degrees and windy, I'm sure.

Speaker 30 Yeah, and I'm doing the show outside for three hours.

Speaker 6 In like regular socks.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Regular socks in 20 degrees.

Speaker 30 And I didn't bring my long Johns either. I should have.

Speaker 32 Dan, I look good in Long Johns.

Speaker 26 Wait a minute.

Speaker 9 Think of where we are as a society where you tell your daughter, give me an Indigenous person kiss.

Speaker 8 An Eskimo kiss.

Speaker 19 They're nice.

Speaker 6 Zaslow was dressed in.

Speaker 12 Did you look good in Long Johns? Don't they go under your Tony?

Speaker 32 Oh, I look good in his own.

Speaker 26 But you know, before I put the clothes on, he's got himself looking in the mirror at Long Johns, being like, yeah, this is it.

Speaker 25 Look, but if

Speaker 25 you

Speaker 20 FaceTime you, look, can I just tell

Speaker 27 that?

Speaker 48 Indigenous person kiss.

Speaker 6 Tony,

Speaker 6 if he were on the road with ESPN, representing the height of

Speaker 6 mint mint coat in Vegas. Audio.

Speaker 6 Okay, so.

Speaker 40 You heard that as? Mink Coat.

Speaker 18 You need to know what a mink is, buddy.

Speaker 26 You look like Tyler Durden.

Speaker 12 All right, listen. I don't know who that is.
That's

Speaker 6 Fight Club.

Speaker 14 That's because you're a movie sucker.

Speaker 49 You haven't even seen Dodgeball, buddy.

Speaker 18 What are you talking about? Slow down.

Speaker 25 Heavy Fight Club.

Speaker 14 Yes, I have. I just didn't know the name.

Speaker 13 You know, Fight Club was the second date I had with my wife.

Speaker 16 Nobody cares.

Speaker 20 Watch Fight Club together.

Speaker 2 Stay focused. Mint Coat.

Speaker 27 Thank you, Chris.

Speaker 6 Get the Thanksgiving ready for me, please.

Speaker 1 Christian Chilla, by the way.

Speaker 31 I'm good.

Speaker 6 Listen to me. Listen to me.
Chris, grab a hold of the show and grab a hold of the Thanksgiving thing

Speaker 6 so that I can have a tether to

Speaker 6 if Tony.

Speaker 6 were allowed to represent ESPN's audio coverage of Kingsport on Saturdays, Tony would be dressed far differently, headed to Madison, Wisconsin, than Zaz is as he throws on a hoodie, does morning windy radio, freezing his ass off, can't possibly do the show well or looking good because it's too cold because it's winter in Madison.

Speaker 14 It's going to be inside, but he looks like Gino Fuentes.

Speaker 49 So Gino Fuentes wears every single day to be back there.

Speaker 30 I'm very pleased with how I look there. I am representing South Florida with that look right there.
And how dare you assume that I didn't do a great show. I roll out of bed.

Speaker 30 I knock it out of the park.

Speaker 21 You were cold.

Speaker 6 You sounded cold.

Speaker 33 We hear your teeth on the broadcast.

Speaker 6 You sounded cold.

Speaker 6 You were. You're going to deny? Are you going to deny that you toughed?

Speaker 32 Remember, what are you that you

Speaker 6 toughed? You toughed through the broadcast, but it sounded like you were outdoors and that you were cold.

Speaker 29 I had no gloves.

Speaker 32 It's a morning in the world.

Speaker 28 Who goes to Madison with no gloves?

Speaker 30 I had no gloves. Were you able to hear me rubbing the hand warmers together during the day?

Speaker 6 Listen to me.

Speaker 6 This is the work of an amateur. He did this last season.

Speaker 41 You cannot go into a winter in Madison.

Speaker 6 The way that team plays football and not expand a bone chill through your bones in late November.

Speaker 25 I think it's still autumn.

Speaker 6 We said it was going to be 40 degrees. I think it's 20 and windy and I think I could hear how cold Zaszlo was on the radio and only the radio professional in him was able to tough it out.

Speaker 18 Persevere.

Speaker 6 I dare say that Zaszlo has never worked in worse conditions. Have you?

Speaker 19 It was rough.

Speaker 30 It was rough.

Speaker 33 You know, you could put another jacket on on top of the sweater, right?

Speaker 1 Whatever, man.

Speaker 18 Another jacket.

Speaker 31 Whatever. I didn't pack another one.

Speaker 3 You ever get one of those remotes from Tire Kingdom?

Speaker 25 Zaszlo. I did.

Speaker 26 Those were the ticket chicks.

Speaker 6 Guys, wait a minute. Come on.
Can we just marvel at this? Ticket people.

Speaker 26 Sorry, Jeremy.

Speaker 6 Can we marvel at this adult toddler? Look, you tell me if this happens year one, game one. Okay, I understand.

Speaker 6 He did this last year.

Speaker 6 He had time to.

Speaker 28 This is how you're supposed to dress, Dan, right there.

Speaker 45 You want to add dress like that?

Speaker 19 PSPR radio.

Speaker 20 Tyler Durden looking ass.

Speaker 44 That's a suit, okay, with a chinchilla on top.

Speaker 2 Zaslow has to do this as as a punishment.

Speaker 6 Tony, Tony, if you were given this opportunity. That's a cigar right there, Zaz.
If you were given this opportunity, Tony, you command Saturday's airwaves on, I don't know how many, 300 channels?

Speaker 6 That's right.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 33 I would be dressed just like that, making things happen, dressing for the occasion.

Speaker 1 I'd be like Walt Frazier out there, okay?

Speaker 6 Good reference by the young fella.

Speaker 33 And you with one jacket on freezing your ass off, Chief Tatterson.

Speaker 4 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 5 What are you doing here? Cuervo.

Speaker 6 Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 7 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 6 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 10 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 8 The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Speaker 11 Cuervo.

Speaker 7 So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 4 Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.
