Participating McDonald's while supplies last. Do you consider yourself self- aw are ? Not really. Do you think you're nosy? Yes. Inquisitive would be the word I'd use. Okay. No, I have found you to be someone who over time is nosy my lifetime, uh, but I didn't think that you thought you were nosy. I have felt off of you for about two weeks that you're dying to ask me questions about this squatter. Yeah. I am. And and the whole idea of there's actually a phrase squatters rights. The idea that somebody who invades somebody else's property and because they do somehow have some rights to stay there is just beyond me. Florida's actually pretty good about uh getting that out of the courts . Thank God. Uh but I was hours away from not being able to get into my house because the doorknobs were changed because I found the doorknobs in the house and they were ready to be uh I was ready to have a discussion with police where I didn't have the keys to my house, and then that's how it ends up in the court system, and that's how uh it ends up with free rent for however long. I'm actually I want to talk to this person. I've got a bunch of different questions. I think it'd be great content. I'd just be welcoming something that is a little bit crazy in my life after Manu. Um last weekend though, ten days after this, what arrives at my house? A couch. Free, nice. Congrats. Is it a nice couch? No. Suede, Naugahyde? What do you got? Yes, nog gahyde. It's a nog uh oddly enough , it's a nog ahyde couch. Uh that's I thought hyde. I was like, oh that's a five dollar fine for you because your computer just made a sound and it and it beeped. Uh the fine bucket is uh back in play. It is alive and so uh let me see the cash. Do you uh do you have cash on cash? Who carries cash? You can bet on that. Twenty twenty six. Oh, it's not on video. My bad. You just did your cross-eyed Cash Patel impersonation, not realizing that you're not on camera. Which by the way, a crime that we did not have that on the topic board, Cash Pat el. What a week he had, hu h? Woof. Are you talking about his girlfriend or something else? Something much more important, Dan. Something much more important. Oh, you don't know about this? I don't know about that. Dan, he got hacked. His personal email got hacked. Oh. And so the internet had all sorts of videos and access to subscriptions that he had. He signed up for one on January sixth. No, but he signed up to crank it on January sixth. Allegedly. What questions do you have about the squatter? Well, do you get to keep the couch? Or does he have any rights to that? No. There were seven packages the last time I was there. There were an assortment of things the last time I was there. I was surprised. This is trickling in on the back end because he it it's really it's cheap furniture. Uh and uh what is the name of that uh it's company? It's a Chinese company that makes very cheap furniture. Timu. Yeah, that's it. Oh yeah. I was thinking IKEA. Well. They're Scandinavian. Yes. Whatever. That's it? You have no more questions? I have a bunch of questions. You should. I dare you you would have balls the size of grapefruits if you invited for an interview onto this show your squatter I'm hugely interested I've got a bunch of different questions about how it is that he planned to stay there for months because he thought he had found himself a house. And it's weird to me that we didn't run into him earlier than this. It makes me wonder if he was hiding in the house on occasion while we were there No oh you think he was oh he's he's guilty of getting compla cent and and counting his chickens before they were hatched. He was high stepping. He had the ball behind his head, high stepping on his way to the end zone, holding it back behind the bottom. I mean Timut is very, very long to get from China over here, especially with all the stuff going on in the Strait of her moose. You figure out what's uh the situation . I don't think it's the straight of her moose that caused that to not get here quicker . This is the Dan Labatorator show with the Stukat spotcast juju put it on the poll please at labotar show uh do you own a wallet uh greg cody has uh pulled out his wallet because he has been fined during the shadow show five dollars for his computer going off. He's gonna give me that money in a second. How long have you had that wallet, Greg? Probably ten to fifteen years. Oh will you ever get a new one? No. That's it. Yeah. You're done. You're y this is your last this is the punctuation on your wallet game. All right. Five dollars please for the uh hundreds. All I got is Bennies. The fine bucket is presented by Money Lion. Download the Money Lion app or visit MoneyLion.com to learn more. Money Lion, make money easy. Uh Jeremy, would you do me the favor please of getting change for this? Uh, because I need to give him the ninety five dollars and I need to do this now because I'm finally getting a hold of this fine system after all of these years. No one is getting away anymore without paying Dan, how the hell are you gonna find somebody to have ninety five dollars? Yeah, just clarifying I need ninety five dollars. There's there is already it's all my money. It's all all my fine money. All you put in is hundreds. No, I've I've put in a number of different uh denominations and we've finally got the fine bucket under control I wanted to talk about uh an entrance last night that made me laugh. Uh the Marlins lose last night to the White Sox. Not enough is made of what we did two years ago where we had a couple of Mets from the nineteen sixty-two Mets on to celebrate that the White Sox were about to have a worse season than the Mets. And then the White Sox won like five out of their last six games, and it didn't actually end up happening and we did the math wrong. And so the 1962 Mets still have the worst season. But that White Sox team is the worst I've ever seen. The Marlins opened with uh the Rockies and swept them. And yesterday they get crushed by the White Sox. And Chris Paddock, and I want to hear some of this story, thank you, from Jeremy. I want to hear some of the story of Chris Paddock, because he was drafted by the Marlins in 20 and15, he's making his debut 11 years later, and he comes into the ballpark really confident with the Marlins saying there's a new sheriff in town. He's wearing a cowboy hat. They've got the photo of him uh walking uh out and getting out of his car where they just take a picture of his boots, getting out of the car like you see in the movies, and then he gives up eight runs in four innings and f uh promptly leaves the field with his nipples on fire. I mean come on what are you doing it's a white sox dance you can't come in this way they're a really bad bas eball team. Uh I supported the Marlins for the first time all season. I got the subscription. I figured out how. I dedicated 25 minutes to it, and I got I finally got the ability to watch the Marlins on TV for the first time in several seasons. Um I came back from putting my daughter to bed and apparently the White Sox just have this guy that's allowed to run around the bases all he wants. Like he can just do whatever with impunity. This Acuna guy. And I don't think that's the Acunya everybody else talks about, damn. Yeah, he's a pretty good player, right? Yeah, he won the world baseball classic. Can you walk into the ballpark this way and then give up eight runs on uh in four innings? Uh Tony, you're just saying uh dress dress like you want to play. The guy comes in with a dually truck, he's got the coat the jacket, he's got the boots on, he's got the hat. You let him do what he wants to do. I mean, yes, to answer your question, Dan, this is very much a tree falling in the forest type of thing. If a dude walks into a Marlins game on a Monday dressed like that. Does anyone notice they might if he gives up eight earn runs? And I saw something else in this ballgame that really chapped my ass, Dan. Really does. You know, like I I just found out that the the the catchers and the pitchers aren't given signs anymore. We're losing recipes. What? And now I know that this has been happening for a very long time and I know Roy has my back here. The first guy that I saw do this was Cespedes , the highlighter arm sleeve. Like there was a dude on the Marlins that had a gold arm sleeve and a gold belt. Like a gold belt. Doesn't match. There's a reason there's a uni form. What what I get individualism and like you have the cleats. You you get the day to put on whatever nickname on the back of the jersey. What is this? If you're gonna wear equipment that's funky, use an alt color. You have caliente red right there. What gold? That's not a part of the color scheme. The the belt set me off. This has been something that's been percolating with me about this sport for several years. But when I saw a guy has the ability to just not use a team belt? What is this? We're losing recipes. It's an outrage. At least they wear belts. Yeah. At least when Stan was down here, he wore an orange on his sleeve. At least that matched. It's anarchy. It is. And uh it should be uh style points for whomever it is that wants to rattle baseball's cage however it is that they rattle it. Stunned that Mike is already the old guy complaining about how the kids are dress ing these days. Yeah, I don't like how it sounds. I know it's a boomer take. Now, I I'm I'm aware that it's been happening for like a decade, right? Yeah. Cespedes isn't even in the league anymore, right? That's right. But I it bothers me and I've been kind of dealing with it because I don't really pay attention to the sport, but I'm trying to get back into the sport and things like that, they're losing me. They're losing me. Well, the new sheriff in town, I want to talk about this for a second, okay? Chris Paddock is on a one-year, four million dollar deal. They need him to if they're going to do anything this season, and I I believe they're actually on the right track. We have a couple of things happening with the Dolphins and the Marlins, where they're just stripping it down to nothing over years so that they can start the process of rebuilding with young players. But yesterday we missed something, and I'm surprised as the Latin show that we missed it. We did not do enough with the fact that in the third game of the season, the Spanish broadcast introduced to us 'cause I was not aware before this, and I wasn't aware until I was driving home that the Spanish broadcast for the Marlins has a rally rooster. I did not know there was a rally rooster. I love that the baseball broadcast in Spanish that, the announ cer can go summon a rooster sound when he wants a rally. But rarely do you get the rally rooster combination, and then Owen Casey hits the walk-off home run immediately after you've summoned the rally rooster . So I failed here in not playing the sound more and recognizing the seismic achievement. If indeed this is something the broadcaster only brings out once in a while. Now, if he's doing it 20 times a game, that's something entirely different. But on this call, he got it exactly right. El empate está en segunda. Lanzamiento le tira y saco batazo, alto, largo por el Rafield, que sí, que no, que no, que sí . Adiós, mamacita linda . All Ronday Awake . That's perfect. The Rally Rooster is so well named. It's more than the alliteration. It's the idea that the rooster stands as a wake-up call. It's just a it's perfect. It kicks the ass of the Rally Monkey. The Rally Rooster is the best invention in baseball. So Greg, it's not a real rooster, just so we're clear. It doesn't matter. Because the the monkey was a real monkey. This is not a real rooster. Well punched the monkey it was a real monkey too, and he's faded. You know, he was a big thing. Jeremiah but was a bullfrog. I get all that. Are you just you're just giving m r random monkey thoughts, and that opens the door to that particular judgment where he goes, Jeremiah is a bullfrog just because you had a monkey thought and just wanted to you did you just want to show that you knew something that happened in pop culture ten days ago? Yeah and and there really wasn't a bulldog named Jeremiah. There was a monkey punch. Well, whatever. Jeremiah was a bulldog. What difference does it make? If you had a bulldog in your house, you wouldn't have had a squatter. But that's an aside. Alright, guys. Uh I'm just telling you right now, brace yourselves, okay? Because we are in for Cody the last couple of weeks, okay. There have been some places where he's nonsensical and he's coming out of the box strong today on uh just random thoughts. Whatever's in his head is coming out and is getting spilled at every turn. Dan, hold on, I'm gonna see if that was the Greg Cody first down. They're bringing out the chains right now. Let's see. Hold on. Cody! I believe they got the measurement wrong. Wait a minute. What do you know? You're the sidelines. The Rams of the first down. Yeah, everyone's a critic in the sands. You need an ABS to figure out whether that was a first down. Chris Paddock is the guy who was in the cowboy hat, right? Yes. Okay. You mentioned one million the the budget Marlins . Four million dollars a year, he's their I could be wrong, he's their third highest money player. That's how much budget ball they're playing. It's it's Alcantra, obviously, way number one, and I believe Pete Fairbanks is the only other guy making 10 million. So it's unavoidable. You know, I know I'm a broken record on this, but until they start spending money, particularly on bats, they're gonna be the team that Clayton McCullough said they were after the opener. I'm in the room with him and he's going this is the game we have to win all season long, meaning that just won two to one, meaning they need great pitching and defense because they're not gonna have the bats. And we've already seen that earlier. Does it matter to you, Greg, that since June twentieth of last year they're the third best team in the national league? Um it it it's it's good. I mean I look I think they are doing a lot of the right things. Peter Bendix is doing here what he did in Tampa in terms of of That's right. But right now is there anyone that it would be wise to spend money on. The the reality is is that you're still trying to find out who of this court that you've traded for and developed over the last several years. I mean on opening day you had eight of the nine guys in the lineup They've developed in those last couple of years and now have brought up to the show. And over the span of the last few months of last year, those guys played very well. So you go out and spend, you know, two years, $12 million dollars on some second baseman. This isn't about spending and we're wandering away from the important thing, which is how quickly a walk off home run was hit afterter the roos sound. Like this doesn't happen very often this way. The whole thing. Give me the whole thing because I want Tony's entire translation on everything that's being said here because there's a mama cita in there. This is an excellent home run call, but again, you rarely get the how many baseball broadcasts have a soundboard where the broadcaster can ask somebody'.s He asking a producer. I need the rally rooster right now. The rally rooster arrives when beckoned and then so does the walk off. Por favor, ya se prepara otra vez. El empate está en segunda. Lanzamiento le tira y saca un batazo. Alto, largo por el Raf iel. Que sí, que no, que no, que sí . Oh, the Osmo Macidolinda Uh, so let me see if I have this right, Tony. You are our most authentic Hispanic, Spanish language uh translator the call que si que no que no que si uh I don't understand it. So he's like, Is it going? Is it not? It's not it is and then he says, Do I have this right? Goodbye, uh beautiful Mamacita. Yeah. Goodbye, Mamacita Linda. That means the ball is out of here, baby. Okay. So uh my question if I want to do the math on the front end of the rooster, right? And obviously, we don't have the full context of the game to know what he's calling for. Is it a Or is it an actual rooster? Because they're common around that park. It is it is possible. You're right about that. And like plucking a feather off the room. Has headsets on and he just like slaps a rooster on the back, like go ahead and give it to him . There's something about college hoops this time of year That happened to me the other night. I was planning to stay home and keep a game on in the background, maybe pretend I wasn't checking scores every five minutes, then a text comes in. We've got multiple screens set up. That's how they get ya. So I said, yeah. I grabbed a pack of Miller Light on the way. A little while later, nobody's casually watching anything. Somebody's yelling because their bracket is already cooked. Somebody else suddenly cares deeply about a school they hadn't thought about in 10 years. And a game that looked over is somehow tied late. You take a sip, you look around, and realize, yeah, this was absolutely the right move. That's why I reached for a Miller Life.

Yeah, you've been at many big time sporting events. You know that moment quite well. That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Cuervo. Oh, delicious. It's the signal that says, we're not checking the time anymore, pal. It's when small talk turns into stories. Mm-hmm. Quervo, man, it's at high five a random stranger effect. That's right. The game is popping. You're hugging people you never met before. That's a kind of energy that Cuervo brings. It's so smooth, so delicious. That's the Cuervo effect. Keep it, Cuervo . Done Libatard. You don't remember the idea from the case. Something Okay, no, the home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugats. Oh. It's a good call. Thank you. And plus it doesn't matter who's hitting it, like you're not tailoring it to a particular name, you know, all that jazz, you know, you don't gotta do that. You just kinda swing, that kind of thing. This is the Dan Lebatter Show with the Stoe G ats. The the Spanish language broadcast having the ability to summon a soundboard during the middle of a baseball game is the kind of disrespect I'm here for. It's not look, Vin Scully would have never done that. A soundboard in Vin Scully studio? A rooster. A rooster called a soundboard in general. There should be no soundboard. A Dodger rally. They don't call for Dodger rallies. They just go buy Japan's greatest player ever for two million dollars a season. They don't have to, they don't do it. I want you guys to enjoy the fact that a Marlon's pitcher walked in last night, head to toe a cowboy in South Florida. We don't see a lot of those. Head to toe a cowboy, he's walking into a ballpark that had how many people in it? Because this is not, he's trying to make this the NBA fashion entrance, but he's walking into a Marlins game. He's doing so, and then he gives up eight runs in four innings. And also, there's a Spanish broadcaster who's really lonely up there calling Marlins Games on the radio, who's just entertaining himself and calling a rooster, which is honest to God, I like it. But when you got Mike out here complaining that somebody's wearing gold that's not a uniform color, uh baseball fans generally don't like , hey, stop with the shenanigans in my broadcast. I don't need a rally rooster that's not catching on anywhere in South Florida. And I've got the general public wondering: well, Cayocho, there might be an actual rooster Wait, not catching on, but what if this was the event that makes it catch on? The guy called he's like Babe Ruth, he called the shot. And not only that, but it was Casey at the bat. Well Casey at the Bat is the most famous baseball poem has ever been written, and so I didn't hit a walk. It is on us. It's just that generally speaking , uh it it is the most famous baseball thing ever written, I'm gonna say is it? It was written in eighteen eighty eight, so I can't. For sure. Like it's like the it's the original baseball poem. Rare that you can have the sentence later popularized by vaudeville performances. Also uh Casey struck out. That's that's the unit. I know, but in this case he didn't put it on the pole. We let you down. Put it on the poll at Lebutard Show. Um but he was so proud of it and he let the silence sit there because he knew he had a winner. Let it sit. He knew he had the original baseball poem. Again, 50 years before vaudeville. I'm gonna say maybe 60 years before vaudeville, but put it on the poll at Lebontard Show. Is Casey at the Bat the most famous baseball thing ever written? Because I don't know what it is that I would put in second uh place, Bill James's baseball abstract. Like I don't know what to put second after that? Take me out to the ball game. Oh, there you go. Okay, but I think of that as a song. Fair enough. Yeah, yeah, no. And I think of that as the first baseball song. That came like 50 years after Casey at the bat. I'm gu I'm guessing take me I'm guessing take me out to the ballgame is a full half century after the poem Casey at the bat. Uh but that can can we find out more? Can we do some reporting and find out whether the rooster is played twenty -five times a game? Because in the history of rally things in sports, we haven't had that many of them in South Florida. Uh we did we have what what year did uh was the championship muscle boy. What was that two thousand three or was that ninety seven? So uh muscle boy in nineteen ninety seven is a famous South Florida local sports mascot thing. Yeah I,'d argue in in terms of sparking a rally, that's on the metal stand. It it's behind uh you know the the freestyle clap at Mark Light Stadium. Marlon's man is gonna get in here, right? Marl's man doesn't uh cue anything but himself. Like the opposite. Yeah, he doesn't he doesn't start rallies, he's just there. And pepas for a beautiful year span. Peppas sparked rallies in this town, both the Panthers and the Heat would play it and those teams would go on runs. What about Jay Z and Kanye West in Paris? That would during the Heat run, that was a big one, right? Do the Cyclones have a mascot? It's a two dollar fine for coughing in the mroic. Yeah, it's unda. Yeah? Okay. But then call . Two dollars. Make sure to put it in the uh in the fine bucket. I need my money by the way. Uh we're gonna get to it in a second. I saw Jeremy wander around here and just do loops of interesting. Well, because you only put hundreds in there. Okay. Uh can we get to your catchphrases, please? And do you have a back in my day? I do, and we can. What? Yeah, it's Tuesday. It's Tuesday. I do one a month now. I did one in January, I did one in February, and I snuck in on the last day of my just got it in. Yes, I did. I thought you weren't doing March. You were boycotting it because we let uh Dave Damaschap uh have a back in my Dave. Yeah. You didn't. With the same music, by the way. At least get original music for the guy. I feel bad for Damashek having to siphon my sound as well as my bit. The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody is on what number when it comes to uh uh catchphrases for Greg Cody? Here's the beauty of it. We're at halftime. Okay? It's a top fifty countdown, and the and the new episode of the Greg Cody show has catchphrases twenty-six and twenty-five. So the marching band is taking the field . We are celebrating halftime of the double C . Do you want to go through them real quick? You want me to do all of them? I'll do them quickly because I don't want to belabor it. All right, so uh yes, we wouldn't want to belabor that around here at all. Oh no, here we go. This this has been happening all morning. He and I were giggling about there's no way my cough was two dollars and that's a a two-dollar fine at the end. That is another fine, Greg Cody. You will owe the whole thing. You're gonna owe the hundred by the end. All right. Uh but let's go ahead and go through Greg Cody's catchphrases. He's at the halfway point. It's very exciting. The Greg Cody Swho featuring Greg Cody is a very popular podcast, and he enjoys doing it with his son, who's not here today because he uh is exploiting our vacation schedule. Number 50. 50. I'm Fullerton Vern Fuller. 49. Where' mys click click? 48 Hey butterfinger 47 Hunt 46 Scrint on It came off so strong at the begin Okay, you're throwing me out by doing the numbers. Forty-five! I'm busier in a one-armed paper hanger. 44! George ! George ! 43. I'm the kind of guy that 42 bowling the jack. 41. Hey hey, with the monkeys, baby. 40. Thank you, Billy 39. I love him like a pet. 38. Who made it a salad ? Uh t-shirts available now at LebatardAF.com 36 37 . We're rolling now, huh? 36. Your brain beating me. 35. Let's go states. 34. Driver comfort is paramount. Dummy up. Sabup. What is that one? Dummy up. Parentheses Sab op. It's like a a duo. One goes with the other one. 32. Catches catch can. 31. Doesn't make it right. 30 . So on and so forth. 29. Very good . Very good. That's my parrot, my rally parrot. Very good. I endorse that idea. How do we synchronize any place publicly, where everyone does the very good parrot out of the side of their mouth. 28 . The Little League Theory. That's such a terrible one. 27. Nice hat, asshole. Twenty-six. Alright, these are the new ones. Twenty-si x. The others, they all learn from me . What is the origin story on that? Do you know? I do know. Um it's actually it it's not original to me, but I've uh uh purloined it and now own it. Uh the nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl. They do a hokey but popular at the time video called Super Bowl Shuffle. Uh Refrigerator Perry, all the stars of the day are in it, including quarterback Jim McMahon. And one of his lines in that video is the others they all learn from me. I took it, gave it a little bit of a sing song y quality, and generally say it when I'm alone in my house, and the only people who hear it are somebody in a far room or the dog . How do you take something from a song and make it sing song sing song equality? What does that mean? Well, Jim McMahon, I believe, just stated the the phrase and I went, the others, they all learn from me. You know, emphasis on the learn. You go a little bit deeper. The others pause, they all learn from me. Uh why are you doing this only when you're alone in the house and no one's actually so it's a catchphrase. Put it on the poll, please, Juju at Lebitarge Show. Can you have a popular catchphrase if you always use it alone in your house? Well Christopher's heard it uh he referred to having So I do say it, but generally speaking, I don't say it publicly. I just say it in the confines of of the house. Greg, what's the context of what you're saying, though? Like you're just gonna say it randomly or like some I generally say it when I'm proven right . You know, and and it it's it's a humble brag sort of vibe to it. But you wait until you're alone? Sometimes I'm alone. 2 5 . Don't go showering to try to please me . Alright, I don't like it, but I can't wait for that to pop up in the countdown as we roll all through it. It'll be it'll hit just the same way that punt does. There's also uh a song related explanation to that one. Um and the song is the Billy Joel. Yeah, the nineteen seventy seven Billy Joel song, Just the Way You Are. And when it it's it's really an ode to my wife because whenever she announces, hey I'm gonna take a quick shower, I go , don't go showering to try to please me. Likewise, if she said, I think I'm gonna go get changed, I go, don't go changing to try to please me. So that's number 25. We're at halftime of the catchphrase countdown. Thank you. I've got to offer you a public apology and a private apology for uh thinking that that particular self-involvement would not provide podcast entertainment. Mike has it right. When you are asking Roy the sing song nature of things, that is comedically perfect because of his uh the when he throws in change ups.

Baby You should listen to the Great Cody Show podcast because that's all we do for fifty -five minutes a week is just say catchphrases. We even make songs about 'em. The and you know it is a song for crying out loud. That's great. Hopefully that's a a a Suey nominee for best song. And you know it, baby, and you know it. Stu gats and you know it, baby, and you know it. Baby and you know it it, and you know it, baby, and you know it 's the Dan Levatar Show with the Stu Gats the Miami Heat uh beat the 76ers last night and um I think these seventy sixers are formidable if they are a healthy basketball team. Uh it is interesting to me and unsurprising that Joel Embiid uh gets tired, like gets really tired because he's not uh he's not playing the the same way everyone else is playing uh in terms of number of games. He misses so much time. And so uh the Miami Heat win a game against Philadelphia and it's only their second win in nine tries. We were talking yesterday about how bad their defense has gotten. And I mean, I asked you, do you think that has anything to do with Bam being tired after the 83-point game and two weeks? And I neglected to mention and shouldn't have that all of the teams that they've played over that time are very good offenses. They're very good teams and very good offenses, and they've dragged the heat. So it was nice last night to see them slow down Ph iladelphia some because Philadelphia can put 140 on you uh in a hurry, and Philadelphia that first quarter is back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And it seemed to me that Joel Embiid was exhausted the rest of the game. Yeah, and then the the heat absolutely just ground them down. If you look at it every quarter, Phillies offense got worse and worse and slower and slower. And and this is what I talked about yesterday. This is how Miami wins games. You're not gonna win games outscoring the opposition because you don't have the talent that they have. You've gotta make it ugly. You've gotta put it pull it down into the mud, which is all it's all Eric's post Are you in agreement with me that this late in the season, a season that is too long, with a s uh organization that uh regards itself as the process and has little uh to show for it other than this player who misses half the games. Five minutes into the game he 's walking up and down the court. Five minutes into the game. I mean like that's I think that's testament to the guy's not right physically. And I think you know, that's kind of been the thing that we've all been eyeing all season long is hey as they move or appear to move to a more Tyrese Maxi centered offense, what how much from Joel do you need in order to be successful? Do you need him to be the Joel that he was when he was MVP or Only shooting jumpers, and then late in the game, he hits a three to go up one-oh seven, one oh three, and starts blowing kisses at the crowd, and then immediately has a lazy box out of the wrong guy with one arm and bam gets a tip slam and that was one oh seven one oh five the Heat win one nineteen one oh nine. Jeremy correct me if I'm wrong. Bam always gives him problems right Bam is eight and two against M beat in the regular season. Like they he always has problems with Bam Bam's activity and Bam's mobility. He he forces him to move and run around a lot more than he would like to. Uh that game was meant to grind him down and he was spent by the end. I will also say that uh uh and B because of his size also bothers Bam. Like Bam it it it is fairly rare uh to see Bam go into the post and get stopped by a single person without I guess 150, whatever, however much m money he makes. The the idea is that again, can we carry the Sixers? Can we carry an offense without having to rely on him other than in opportunistic moments? Last night is a great example of probably a night where it's like, yo, I kind of want my other guys to be stepping up and for Joel to kind of just focus on rim protection and rebounding and all those things. Because as I said, Bam gives him problems. Come playoff time, obviously gets a little different. You're not doing back to backs. You're not traveling as much. So you've got some time to rest and re-evaluate what's happening. But ultimately, with the Sixers, I've fallen for this movie about four or five times now. If they're not healthy, then there's no point in kind of trying to project how well they're gonna do in the playoffs. And Paul George looked great last night. Like coming back from his twenty five games off. His body looks right. And Edgecombe and Maxie, like those guys were really good. Their energy was there. But the reason the Heat won last night was because they had more energy. And that was on the second night of a back-to-back. Like they were getting all the loose balls, they were getting all the offensive rebo unds, and I believe they had thirty fast break points in a game where the Sixers only had six live ball turnovers. That's like that's a major stat discrepancy. The youth of the Sixers not named M Bede and Paul George. Uh it was fun to watch them on alley oops at the rim. Uh they
