So I'm listening to Mystery Crate the other day, which I'm going to admit, I don't listen to all of it every time. How long? When is that on? Like once a day? Once a week? Once a week? Okay. Once a week. Once a day. So I'm listening to Mystery Crate and something comes up about tendinitis or something. I think you said, what's your favorite, itis, like tendinitis, bursitis, I don't know how many itisas there are, what ended up being your favorite itis because I can't remember. And then I have my favorite itis for you. I don't remember me nominating one. I had, I think I remember Jess had a good nomination that I think I was just like, yeah, that sounds good. I'll do that. What was it? I don't know. I like, you're the one who listened to the episode. Like it was some sort of like, it was some sort of itis that you could like go to a grocery, like your, your pharmacy and like, you know, get a little cream and your itis is gone or something. Yeah. I feel like half of the medicine that you buy is has enzymeitis like myelitis and you know, all kind of itis. Yeah. But I have the all time greatest itis. Are you ready? Yeah. Are you ready? I'm, I'm saying, I think Johnny United's. Okay. I like that. See where I like what you did with it. You took it to, you know, curveball. I like it. Okay. All right. Fine. My favorite itis, Johnny United's. I mean, it's an itis. It's an itis. It's an itis. Like I want to argue with it. Right. And it's good. I mean, the, the only argument is that Johnny, you ended at TAS instead of TIS, but that's absolutely pronounced unitis. So you're saying it's technically an itis. Yes, but it's pronounced United. So we have it. That's good though. I, I, I proved that I'm clapping. That's good. I like that. Thank you. My dear, who Johnny United says, but that's not true. You don't think so? That's one of those names that you at least you know it. That's true. It's almost like a Babe Ruth quality, iconic Americans. Now you went really far, like I was not prepared to go that far. I don't know if it's like Babe Ruth, but I would say it's, it's a top 100 sports name of all time. While Babe Ruth would probably be a top 10, you know, Johnny United is just happy to be in the top 100 names of all time in sports. That's the difference I would be there. You should do a top 100 names in sports. Like just in terms of, in terms of fame and notoriety. Okay. Um, Dan Marino makes it or no? I, I don't know. I think Dan Marino is like Johnny United's like he, he probably does make it, but he's just happy to be on the list. Like he's not a top center. You know who makes it for sure? Will Chamberlain. Right. Like will, uh, Michael Jordan, um, I think you'd have to put LeBron, LeBron's got to be a top 15 name of all time before combining all the sports, Muhammad Ali, you know, for sure. All the soccer, all the famous soccer players, like the top five, like Pele, and whenever all those guys named. Oh yeah. Messy. Of course. We're in Aldo. Uh, you know who really gets hurt by that though, is the guy with the common name, like David Robinson. Yeah. David Robinson, the Admiral is not, is not making this list for sure. No, cause his name is too ordinary, but I don't even think Tim Duncan makes the list. I don't think he does either because again, it's a plain name. Twain Wade does not make the, I mean, no, no, that the name has nothing to do with it. Like if Joe Johnson were, you know, was LeBron James, Joe Johnson would be on the list, but he's not. See, see, I think you're wrong. I think the name that, and you think Babe Ruth, you think Babe Ruth is an interesting name? Yeah. Hell yes. It's just like, it's, it's a boring one. It's two syllables. Okay. Well, it's a guy named Babe, I mean, you're right. No, it is an interesting name, I guess, but yeah, like we, but it's because of the player he was more so than the name, like if we would not remember him just because if he was a terrible baseball player, we wouldn't care that his name is Babe Ruth. No, but it helps it was Babe his, his given name was George Herman Ruth, right, which is why he just went by the babe, right. But if, but if we knew him only as George Ruth or Herm Ruth, it would not have the same mistake. Okay. You know, Albert Puhos is not like an interesting name, but he was like a all-time great player. Right. To your point, he's not on this list. Yeah. I don't think he's easy. What baseball players are, Hank Aaron, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Mickey Mantle is great because it's got the alliteration. Uh, Carly Stremsky? Probably not. I'll be honest with you. No. You know, he's a potato farmer's son. Like, yeah, like we're, this is like just fame, like baseball players knew, call you Stremsky, but like he wasn't like this. Right. I think, I think the parameter for this list is a combination of fame and name. Fame is not enough. Like Michael Jordan is an ordinary name. Okay. If he doesn't have the fame, he's not going to make it just on his name. Whereas Babe Ruth. But no, that's like, like you're doing this. No, we're doing this based off of their fame. Like the cool names just are part of this. Like, like Michael Jordan is the proof that you don't need an interesting name to be on this list. Like, but it helps. What do you mean? Yeah, without it. Okay. It helps though. Like, yeah. No, it's just something interesting about them. Right. Like the only reason wait, like Dwayne Wade is not a top 100 most famous athlete of all time. Correct. Yeah. But you know what helps him? Mom misspelled Dwayne on the birth certificate. Yes. That's what helps him. The Y comes before the A. It's weird. The Y before the A, which is ridiculous. Nobody ever called them on it. Um, Dwayne. No. Right. Dwayne. Dwayne. Dwayne. Dwayne. Exactly. All right. I want to move on. I don't know how we got derailed by, by sports names other than it started with Johnny United, who before the dolphins were ever invented, uh, was one of my early sports heroes. Johnny, you, they called him, uh, unite us. And he did. Okay. So, um, you're going to Fanny's fantasy fest. Yeah. Which is for those of you who don't live in South Florida and maybe you have barely heard of it, fantasy fest is an annual, not kid friendly, sort of an adult party, uh, in Key West that it's, uh, full of debauchery, uh, nudity will be involved, quite frankly. I mean, you can go as crazy as you want to be. This is your mother and I have been to a fantasy fest. Yeah. And, and, um, I did not partake fully because I'm not the kind of guy who walks around without a shirt. Let's go. You're implying that mom, you're implying that mom did. She didn't. Which is, which a funny visual is just like mom, like picturing my mom fully nude walking down, you know, Duvall street. Okay. Okay. I'm going to. All right. Have you and Kristi been to fantasy fest? No. Okay. I just want to warn you about something. Okay. No, no, no. I know. I've heard, I've heard that all the people you don't want to see naked, you're going to see naked and the people you would want. You won't. Right. And, and the warning I wanted to give you is that most of the female breasts you will see are big and saggy. Okay. Okay. First. Okay. And you'll, when we talk later in this episode, after the weekend and after, are you going to want to, are you going to want to count on saggy breasts that I saw? I was just for men or women. I'm not discriminating. Oh, for sure. Like, my breasts aren't looking that good these days. Well, the crazy thing is that the people most apt to get naked or partially naked are the older folks. They're not the fit young people who do yoga, the people who don't give a shit anymore. Right. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly right. No, I'm looking forward to the people watching. I bet that it's going to be overstated. I think I just, I'm not, I just don't, I doubt it's going to, what's the overunder on saggy boobs that I'll see? Let's say you mean, you mean times two, like two for each body? You want to, you want to do that again? You mean like times two, like two per body or, uh, hey, sure dad, we can do it by pair. Yeah. We could do it by pair. I mean, I got what you're saying because like a hundred, but that's the, I need an exact overunder. Um, 85. All right. 85. We'll see. I would go under. I would go under. I would bet the under there. That, that, that, like we're not talking bra, like I'm not talking like it fully, like in pain, like if it's, what if it's painted fully to look like clothes? Oh, there's a lot of that. There's a lot of. There's that count with paint wearing paint only. Yeah. That count on our overunder. I think it does. Yeah. So if we're counting paint, I'll probably hit over 85, but we'll see. Right. I would think so. Um, and I will be counting. Yeah. I bet you will. Now you two aren't going to get crazy. Right? Like you're, you're the conservative people watchers. No, I'm painting my penis. Oh yeah? Yeah. Okay. It'll be inside clothing, but it'll be painted. No, it's just, I'm just going to be fully, I'm going to have a long sleeve shirt on. Right. And I'll have socks and shoes and just from the waist, from about the ankles to my waist, I'll be fully nude. Okay. That is one of the most frightening images I've ever, ever tried to not picture. So, um, uh, I want to tell you something, if you're out there at Fantasy Fest, come say hi. Yeah, you should say hi to Christopher and try not to stare at his painted penis. Um, speaking of festivals, I got to tell you about something in this interest me because it's coming up and, and gray sluts coming up. Well, I'm about to tell you. Um, it's a Lego Fest is coming to Miami. Oh God. Okay. I think this is going to be fascinating. It's going to, it's, it's billed as one of the biggest Lego festivals in the country. It's on a nationwide tour and it's stopping by Miami. It's called Brick Fest Live coming to the Miami-Dade County Fair and exposition on January 11th and 12th. Brick Fest. You and the fam should go. Brick Fest in Miami usually have a totally different vibe. Okay. What does that mean? Oh, I thought it meant like throwing bricks. Brick Fest. No. Oh. Okay, let's go bricks. I mean, like a brick of code. Like if you have like, I mean, I, I've heard, yeah, you, yeah, I don't, I, I literally don't know any of that. Um, I mean, I just know I want to move these, like I just know, like when you buy like a brick of cooking, I mean, maybe I'm, I don't even, I might not even be right about it. Yeah. No, I didn't know any of that. Um, but that, it sounds like a great idea for like a nice little, uh, granddaughter, grandfather day. That's what that sounds like. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Tell that all. Um, I mean, you brought it up. It's your idea. I know. I brought it up as something you might want to do. I'm good. My granddaughter. Yeah. Okay. Um, by the way, I'm nine months pregnant. Um, the birth of my back and my daybook is set for Tuesday. One day after this latest episode drops, many of y'all have pre-ordered and I thank you for that. What are you eating? It's almost time where you can hold the book. What are you eating? In your mitts. Huh? What are you eating? I'm not eating anything. Yeah. It's so much liquid in your mouth right now. Like, no, it's that entire, that entire shameless promotion was like gurgled. Like I, like a, like I heard like liquid. It sounded like you were chewing on a mint. It was just a mouthful of saliva. I was salivating over the idea that my book is coming out. God. That's how excited I am. All right. Everybody else noticed that. Um, anyway, um, stay tuned for details because there will be a joint book signing event for myself and Stu Gots' personal record book, which comes out November. So stay tuned for details on that. Ah, I'm out of breath, man. I'm doing too much talking. You take a look for a minute. It does. What's going on with your voice? I don't know. It sounds. Okay. I just heard a girl. I just heard another gurgle. Did you really? Yeah. How did you think the improv went on last week's episode? I enjoyed it. I thought it was fun. Yeah. I liked it. Um, I want to do more of that. Yeah. Let's come up with something we'll do one right now. Um, I wanted to mention to you, um, key and peeled, you know, the comedian team. I don't think there were team anymore, right? They have not been a team for a while. Yeah. Cause they both got big and famous and split up like Simon and Garfunkel. So although I'm pretty sure, uh, Keegan, Michael Key, did it say on our show recently that he would be open to a reunion, like, like, as my dad clearly is writing something. Yeah. Tell me you did not hear Ira Winderman and Barry Jackson clacking away during, uh, the two and like two is giving like great audio and all you hear is just this clackety clack typing. Yes. And it's just like, what year are we living in? I know. No, it's totally annoying. Yeah. Barry, Barry is there literally transcribing live everything that to is saying, even though he's doing it. He's doing it to questions too. Like I'm hearing the question is being asked to to a like there shouldn't be clackety clacking. I mean, maybe they're still writing the previous quote or something, but it's just, it's, it's like, what are we in a courtroom? Right. Yeah. Like, Hey, you know, we're recording all of this. Right. Like that's the funniest thing to me is that you're the one, you're the same way. I see you at these things. You're like writing along. It's like just record it, but it is being broadcast live on the dolphin's YouTube channel. Right. You can replay it back or you can go better yet. You can listen to it live, you know, or you can have AI transcribe it, right? You can do any of that stuff. So you're right. It's antiquated to be typing clickety clack. And it's as if they're typing right next to the microphone. Like, no, it's, it's, it's super annoying, but, but I, I, I listened to that to a thing and we're going to talk more about sports later in the episode because it's a huge week for sports, but to, uh, was very portable. He was cordial in the way that he normally isn't, but we'll talk about that later because it will just like, let's just get through the next game, please. Like you did the thing of, we'll talk about it later, please stop talking about to the clackety clack. But I have to say, I know I have to say the quote of the year that he gave and I'm not sure if he football to the death of me to, and, and I will talk about this later because what if he dies on the field against Arizona on Sunday? Like, please. Yeah. I'm betting. I've already bet big that he won't. So you know, well, you're going to look like an idiot if he goes out in the first quarter with a concussion. Mr. Will. Mr. I'm going to write the column he should retire, even though I crushed people for doing it three weeks ago. Okay. You keep misquoting me on that. All right. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's talk about it later. Okay. You did that on the Levittart show though. You keep saying that I'm telling him to retire. I'm not. My fear is that the next concussion will see his retirement, whether he wants to or not, but let's go find out what I hope or what I'm predicting, um, Oh, back to key and feel for a second. Okay. I love that dolphin stuff out yeti or kind of what you think, um, I love how we're talking to Yeti while we're doing this because Yeti is God knows where, um, so key and feel made a bit of unusual names you might hear in TV intros for NFL games. Yeah. Okay. And they were, I think it was a various Jack Marius, tech, there are tricks. There was a what? Most of the names they're, you know, making fun of are, are, you know, black names. I mean, basically. Well, yeah, because the Joe, I guess what you're saying, like the joke at the end was Dan Smith, BYU. Right. Exactly. Right. Right. Great punchline. But Jack Marius, um, whatever that name was, thick, terrier, Jack Marius, tech, there are tricks. Right. I always remember that name because it's Michael's, uh, team name, yeah, fantasy name in one of our fantasy leagues, but I like made up names. That's why I come up with skins of a rink and Merle Wexman and names like that you came up with. Well, I mean, there, those are real people, right? But if they would make great made up names, is what I'm saying, you know, God rests the soul of one of them and God knows where the other one is the he or the original he or three. Anyway, but I want to make a game of coming up with an actual name that would be wholly inappropriate, but sounds like a name. Okay. And one example. Okay. Go ahead. I just thought one. Okay. One example is the female first name, malaria. Hmm. Okay. Hey, malaria. Nice to meet you. Yeah. It sounds like a woman's name. Yeah. Hi, malaria. And yet it's a terrible disease. It really is. And what's yours? Yeah, that would be odd. If someone's name was malaria, it would be odd. That's the point of this bit. I was thinking, like, you know, me, dad, I have a new friend here, meet my friend, tonsil. Tonsil. Okay. That would be weird. Probably weirder than malaria because I'm not sure that tonsil sounds like a real name. Tonsil. Hey, tonsil. What's up, man? Okay. Okay. What about foot? What's that? Foot. Foot? Hey, I'm foot. Yeah. The university of Miami used to have a president called Tadfoot. Grace, why don't you make up a name right now? We're making up names. Hi. I'm foot. Nice to meet you. What? Come here. What's your, what's your name of name? Oh, hi. This is spaghetti. Nice to meet her. Spaghetti? Okay. Hey, ask Gracelyn to speak into the mic and tell me how the Taylor Swift concert was. You belong with me? Oh, no. That was your favorite song. But what was your favorite thing that you got to do that you wish you could have done forever? Traded bracelets. Oh. I'm telling you that that was the big takeaway from that concert was the, the community and like the friendliness towards each other. Like I've been to so many concerts and concerts generally are friendly because you're there to see the same act, you know, so like it's not completely rare, but just, she must have walked up to over a hundred different people, women, kids, men, only one guy, but it was actually hilarious. It was like this like giant guy with a bunch of tattoos and grace him with like no fear. It was just like, Hey, you want to, because if you had bracelets on, you were fair game. And the guy was like, Oh, and he like bent down and he like, they traded. It was like, Oh, that's so, I'm telling you. Oh, like I'm not being sarcastic over a hundred. She just like went up to and they were all like, Oh, look at your dress. You're so pretty like a hundred interactions. And she said to me yesterday when I was putting it to bed that she's like trading bracelets was my favorite part of the whole day. That's wonderful. Which was like so cool. No, that that's terrific. Ask her. Before you let it go. Ask her one more question. Does she have any kids in her class named Malaria? No. Okay. No. Okay. All right. Thank you. No, that that whole community thing, I think is fantastic because who thought of the friendship bracelet thing like it's just such a gold thing like such a gold one because it's so it's so upbeat. You know, it's so positive. Yeah. Yeah. It's so wonderful and something that's so needed in the divisiveness of what will become as a country. Yeah. Yeah. No, it really is. Yeah. No, it's I can't say enough about it. I'm a big fan of hers. I'm not quite a Swiftie. I'm not sure if I qualify for that, but I am a big admirer of her work, that's for sure. Yeah. Brad, leave the, leave the burp in. That's our transition right there to our next topic, the burp right there. Um, pardon me, I want to get to dad jokes and three facts Jack, great. But first, I get to mention that Halloween is coming up, okay? And I'm not, I'm done railing against my neighbor whose Halloween decorations have been up for a month. Okay. I just want to talk about the stress of trying to compete with that guy because your mother's already hounding me about when are our Halloween decorations going up? It's a 20 seconds. You're a week away. When do you usually put them up? I usually put them up, you know, a few days early. I mean, I'm not getting any trick or treaters coming around a week early. Why do you put Christmas? Why do you put Halloween decorations up a week early? When do you put Christmas lights up? A few. Oh, Christmas lights. That's different. What's different? That's the holiday. Dad, what kind of, what kind of, why are you trying to squeeze everything? Like why not just enjoy the holiday season? Right. October starts, put up your Halloween stuff. Okay. Who are you the fun police? Like what is this? Like, hey, I will decide. It's a week and a half tops before it's like shut up. Okay. You just sound like an old curmudgeoned. You sound like, you sound like Dennis, the menace is, what was that guy's name? You sound like that guy. What's Dennis? Yeah. Mr. Woodhouse. Not Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Wilson. What is it? Mitchell or Wilson? It's Mr. 100%. It's 100%. Mitchell is from, as from Modern Family. Mr. Wilson. Wow. It is Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Wilson. Okay. Oh, no, wait, am I wrong? Mr. Wilson is from Dennis the menace. No, home improvement also had a Wilson. I think it was just Wilson. No, I think you're right. It was Mr. Mitchell. Dad, if you say Mr. Mitchell, like I'm saying Wilson, like you're saying Mitchell, you keep saying the word Mitchell. Okay. We're going to look this up. We're going to have the final answer. I'm right on this. I'm, I got it. Dennis the menace. Old man. Old neighbor. Yeah, good old Mr. Wilson. I got it. Right. 100%. Now, let's see if Christy, I want to make sure Christy didn't just chime in with something totally wrong neighbor in home improvement. His name was Wilson W Wilson, actually, funny, really Bill Wilson, but that they would just say, Hey, Wilson, that was not Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson is Dennis the menace. Daddy, you and why the fuck were you saying Mitchell? Mr. Mitchell. You said it like three times after, like thinking you were saying Wilson. No, I know, like you kept, listen, I'm gonna be like, you need to, you need to go back and listen to this podcast because I was like, it's Mr. Wilson. And you're like, you know what? You're right. It is Mr. Mitchell. And I'm like, well, you keep saying it's Mitchell. It's none. I just looked it up. Okay. All right. I'm going to see Mr. Mr. Mitchell in TV history. Yeah, there's famous Mitchells. I'm trying to think you guys are too young for Dennis the menace. I don't even know where that reference comes from. Oh, dad, Dennis's name is Mitchell. Dennis Mitchell. That's correct. That's what I was thinking about. Maybe Mr. Mitchell is like Dennis's dad or something. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of. Okay. Yeah. So give me half credit. Maybe this is like a Greg does no movies all of a sudden. I want half credit for getting Mitchell. All right. I want to get to dad jokes and three facts, Jack, because they may be the best ever. All right. Let's do it. Imaging. He's always kind of thinking that his puns are any vote. He cracks himself up like an egg with a yolk and now Chris is more Alice broke dad jokes. No imaging. It played. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Number three, what do you call a short cow? Ow. Condensed milk. Oh. That was like cow without the sea, how that's not terrible. Number two, what is the coldest vegetable iceberg lettuce? That's a very good answer. It's probably a better answer than the one I'm about to give you. The coldest vegetable is a cucumber. Number one, what did the shoe say to the hat? I don't know. You go on ahead. That's good. That's pretty good. That's good. That is one of the first dad jokes I've ever done that actually got a laugh out of you. Yeah. Like you couldn't help yourself. It was funny enough you laughed. I regret giving you that much honestly. Okay. Three facts Jack. There are three things that interest him. So sit right back for three facts Jack. Number three, the world's largest toy distributor is not Hasbro or Mattel or any of the toy company. It's McDonald's. Number two, more than 50 Girl Scout cookie flavors have been discontinued over the years, including Kuka bars, a Rice Krispies and chocolate combo, and golden yangles, a cheddar cheese cookie. Number one, famed scary monster, no famed scary movie director, Alfred Hitchcock was afraid of eggs. Really? Yep. Like cooked eggs? He just he didn't want anything to do with eggs cooked, sitting in a bowl must have hated Easter. Him and Guy Fieri. Is that right? Well he doesn't like eggs like any kind of like any kind of like meal he's eating that has like a egg yolk runny on it like he doesn't like. Oh my God. You get over it guy. I mean that's the eggs are great we love eggs and anyway and for some reason your voice sounds like we've been talking for three months.

Like I said I have mixed feelings about it it is adorable when she texts me but it's also terrifying that at age six she's already texting I know it is it's both because when I get I mean can my kid

respond to her it is adorable to see a text pop up from her yeah no it is so cute and now she's texting photos Jesus great okay so I haven't talked to you since you've gotten back from Key West Fantasy Fest which I think we teased earlier in the episode people know by now that it's a weekend of debauchery yeah I want all of your experience that that you can tell about when I can tell who the I can't tell you the dangerous stuff no it was it was everything I expected it to be it was a huge party three nights was a lot you know I'm definitely wearing it a little bit yeah get too crazy but definitely you know got after it and enjoyed it and I think the my big takeaway was how overstated it was like oh you're gonna see just a bunch of gross things and like it's all gonna be older and overweight you know and yeah there was plenty of older and any size you know was welcome right but there was also a good amount of positive experiences with the whole like people watching and it was just painted as this like it's all gonna be like almost gross and it couldn't have been less gross okay it was like legitimately just a vibe of everyone is just enjoying themselves and you know just like just just enjoying themselves and you know friendly atmosphere everyone's friendly with each other like I did not have even close to a single you know you know sometimes at bars you bump into someone and all of a sudden like none of that like every everyone was just very pleasant okay my buddy John who grew up in Key West knows all the good spots to eat so I had one of like the best breakfast burritos I've ever had really where it's called Cuban coffee queen and if you're ever in Key West Cuban coffee queen the Cuban breakfast burrito rice and beans egg cheese whatever meat you want in it just oh we went back twice yeah so yeah with your mother and I have been done the fantasy fest thing once what did Christy think of it no she loved it like I said yeah everyone in our group got along it was a great I don't generally like sometimes you travel with 10 people and you're like oh that like it can be there was like everyone was on the same page what we were doing great trip okay um I want to swing to sports because we have I think the past week in South Florida and we're gonna talk about the world series as well so it's nationally I think it was a great sports week okay and I want to hit a bunch of different things quick like one minute talk about each of these things first of all I want to start with the world series which as we speak about it is is the lads are up to nothing and I call them the lads because it's LAD LA Dodgers and my abbreviation for them is the lads so the lads are up to nil I want the Dodgers to win I really really do but I have to watch myself because I married into a family you married into a family of Yankee fans okay and that's made it difficult for me because when when your father-in-law is dropping off Graceland a couple of days ago it was just after Freddy Freeman's Grand Slam home run beat the hinkies in game one whoa that was so great it was so great but when I see but when I see Al I'm like oh man you must have been bombed last night huh I mean that I have that you're supposed to enjoy that interaction I well like it said there's nothing like when your friends lose like you make fun you give them shit like I gotta yeah I gotta be a little careful I'm walking a line there okay but but are not like you married into the Yankees so who are you rooting for are you willing to say it who are you rooting for honestly Christy doesn't care that much at this point about the Yankees so like she's not living and dying with every pitch like I just like to see a good series I would do I wanted to go seven games maybe for Al I would root for the Yankees you know Tommy really think but yeah right I have to say that I am thrilled by this matchup because it's star power like crazy I mean mookie bets one so don't forget about Otani and Judge below them Stanton I mean there's just so many stars in this world series I'm absolutely loving it it's great for baseball I feel like baseball is enjoying sort of a renaissance the ratings have been kicking ass the entire postseason so good for MLB I want to turn to the Finns game today I just got back from the Dolphins losing a heartbreaker 2827 to Arizona they led the entire game until the losing field goal with time expired okay so it was a truly a heartbreaker to a came back I thought to it did fine you know when you put up 27 points you should win that game I don't blame to a yeah but but it just looked similar to even last week before two was back in the first half you look fine you're running the ball you're competent on defense right and then in the second half you just find a way to blow it I was just like it it's just like a weird like that was a weird loss like I'm with you like to look good in the offense it's wild how good and a difference he makes yes but it is and the other thing is a bad loss it's a bad loss it was terrible loss but in example of the things that two amines that they run so much often option you know motion stuff that when two was not in for the past month they get silly penalties out the ass you know motion penalties and penalties out the ass is a funny visual it is a fun in the flag the yellow flag is coming right out the ass but in this game Sunday they had no really no penalty problem to a did fine to a had a very good game back considering all the rust they ran the ball grade they ran for a hundred and fifty yards or something the offense was not the problem the defense was the problem and so my bottom I mean Calamaries good but yes yeah he's really good and part of the reason he's good is that they gave up 307 yards to him and didn't sack him once okay zero sacks and they had a zero bunch and they had they did they did they they pressured the pocket but he he was too elusive for them and and that's where they really miss a guy like Jalen Phillips who's who's injured because he's quick enough and young enough to make those sacks that some of these older guys like Kalea Scamble were missing it's it's wild what it's wild just the how crazy that ended up like it comes down to like little plays if they get a stop on that third down yeah or Kyle or Murray just kind of like you know where he swerved his way yes I think it was Kendall Fuller who had like an open field chance to make that tackle you make that tackle you get the ball back with like a minute 25 left with a timeout 100% it's crazy that it all comes down to like a spot where it's like make this tackle yeah and you miss that tackle and then they can you know run the clock out yeah it really does come down to a couple of plays and that's why they're two and five right now is that they've been missing more than making some of those key plays all season and they're like starting well and like and it is kind of been Mike McDaniel's thing of it's like he knows how to draw up a first 15 yeah but then after that it's like it's not as good it's like it's like in baseball it's like you know the third second and third time through the lineup like Mike McDaniel is great the first time through the lineup right I feel like once teams kind of see what he's doing I don't know it's just I like yes the offense was good and man two of us feel good about himself like I know two is clearly just a team guy and I bet he's durable right now but there's probably like there has to be like 3% even with this loss where two is just like that's right who said I didn't who said I didn't deserve this money like you can all you know bleep off right no there and there were some nice moments in the game when he was introduced before the game it was 45 days of missing this guy because of how terrible they've been without him so he got a wonderful ovation when he hit that 30 yard sideline pass the Tyree kill the sound in the crowd said these are the good old days meaning last season this one we missed I was watching on a tablet like okay and and I will tell you the the time I heard the crowd the most I know what you're gonna say on his long run when he slid where he slid and before he slid you heard a you heard a gasp in the crowd when he took off where you could just every single person look to the person next to them and was like hey oh oh oh and you could hear that and then yes and then when he slid everyone erupted and it was like the biggest cheer of the day on the brought they even on the broadcast they were like that's the they were like that's the biggest cheer I've heard all day right I I wrote about that in my column I'm glad you mentioned that because Kaleas Campbell said after the game that he was on the sideline screaming slide slide yeah and no it was it was a wonderful play and then he got up and threw his fist at the crowd as if to say I've learned relax I'm not a slide I'm good so yeah that was quite a moment the day was made for the storybook ending of two will be in the hero in a in a twenty seven twenty five win and in the defense just let them down so let's let's move on I want to talk about real quickly about Inner Miami winning its first ever MLS playoff game did you get a chance to watch that or do you even care about that much I did not I care about that more than you do right I did not see what I wrote on that win it was two to one over Atlanta and the first game of a best of three series is that this is the first thing we've seen down here since LeBron comes to the heat in 2010 where the expectation is you have to win a championship yeah anything less doesn't cut it and that's what we have right now with Messi and Inner Miami they have to win the MLS Cup they can't get there and lose they can't fall short the onus is on Lionel Messi and nobody else to lead this team to a championship so what one game in it's a good start it feels like there's the interest in Messi locally is not as crazy as the LeBron stuff I know I know I'm speaking through a prism that I'm not the biggest soccer fan and there are people that are super excited about it but I just feel like right like it sport centers not covering it as like maybe this is just an MLS problem right I think part of it is that the playoffs have just begun and we're in the first game in the first round of a best of three so I think it would be it actually would have been a bigger story if Inner Miami lost because they're the favorite to win the MLS Cup because of Messi but you know let's put it this way the NBA is much bigger in this country than MLS and nobody's arguing that you know but internationally obviously Messi is the biggest star we have down here so I want to move on to the heat and I want to talk about the Dwayne Wade statue okay I'm a little weirded out by giving statues to living people and and and Wade isn't the first I mean you know Dan Marino has a statue down here but what do you think about that is it weird you or are you good with it no I'm 100% good with it are you kidding me like outside of Dan Marino you know Dwayne Wade is the number one an athlete that I can think of down here so right obviously it's obviously deserved like should they have waited till he died I don't know if that's what you're at is that what you're asking yes I see I grew I'm old I grew up where what do you mean you grew up Don Shula had one when he was alive you grew up for that like Dan Marino got one and he's alive that what you grew up for that like right what are you talking about okay I'm talking about before the dolphins like when I was a kid you know statues were to honor great people who had passed away and now it's different including in sports I'm just you know just wondering what you take on how do you like this that like the more interesting conversation is what do you think of the statue I it's it's fine what do you think I mean and I took I told I'm a little afraid to be too critical because I like the heat okay but I am going to say this I totally agree with you that if you are going to give a statue to any living sports figure along with Dan Marino it's absolutely Dwayne Wade I mean and that's that's like that isn't like everyone agrees that with that like there's nobody's saying he doesn't deserve a statue right well that but there may be me saying I don't think any living sports figure one of these that's like saying hey don't tell people you love them when they're alive wait till they're dead like like it's literally what you're supposed to do the opposite of what you're saying right now like okay supposed to appreciate people when they're here yeah so that they can like feel it and you're probably right I'm just talking out loud yes you are I want to close with it I literally am I'm talking out loud I want to close with this and you don't even know this the famous racehorse calmly finally ran a race today in Italy okay I'm in the dolphins press box Sunday morning late morning I've got the YouTube link I'm watching a race from Rome with Italian announcing I don't understand a word and calmly long story short you know it it's like the Olympics you want to finish top three to get a medal in horse racing per second or third you get a black type finish which is a good thing it increases all your value blah blah blah calmly finishes fourth oh my god I was going crazy in the press box I'm like come on come on and she was caught and she finished fourth by a half a length you know by five feet or so and it was just it was heartbreaking and now we're going to sell her I think she's got one more race before my conglomerate my syndicate sells her so calmly we love you don't give up hope you're going to win your last race I promise I love the idea of calmly listening to this podcast yes like them take because the way you just said that is if like calmly was going to hear this yeah no she will I just love the idea of like the trainer who listens every week because they're like oh it's a kind like you know it's like Jody like he's one of our team members of course of his podcast so he like runs over to the horse around 8 a.m. and is just like hey calmly Greg's talking about you that's right let me here you go listen yeah yeah I'm trying to pick your headphones on a horse I'm not sure if headphones come that big but calmly we love you we have not given up on you you got one more race for us win that thing okay but fourth place finished today by the way she made 12k so I get my 2.5% cut of 12 000 bucks less the syndicate take so you know but it's not you know it buys launch what can I tell you what can I tell you I own I own the tip of her left ear okay well
