Chapter 1: Why do Dolphins fans feel frustrated with their team?
Zaz, you really are a voice of the fan during the game. You just complain about the Dolphins on the internet in the way that I feel like if the Dolphin fan had one voice, it would sound a bit like you.
I don't enjoy that, though. I don't like being that guy. I'm not like that during Panther games. I'm not like that during Heat games. I don't like what the Dolphins do to me.
Well, what's happening there? You haven't been like that during Heat games? You care about the Heat and the Panthers more than you care about the Dolphins, don't you?
I do. I do. But I'm more inclined to take... I'm a pretty positive dude. I'm more inclined to take the positive angle when it comes to the Heat and the Panthers. So I don't like that the Dolphins do this to me and make me feel this way. I don't like sitting here and telling you Tua sucks. That doesn't bring me any kind of joy. I don't like being that guy.
But you are that guy.
I am that guy.

Chapter 2: What are the differences in fan emotions towards the Dolphins versus other Miami teams?
And you're not accountable about it. You blame the dolphins for making you this person.
What, should I blame myself for making me this person?
I mean, you're reasonable and you have perspective about the Panthers and the Heat, even though you called Paul Maurice the murderer of fun when he got here.
Yeah, but I, well, did he not murder our fun for most of that season? I was right until I was wrong. Can we admit that?
That is, you can put that on basically any sports radio host's tombstone.
I mean, parents murder fun like you got to eat vegetables. That's right. Even though it's good for you. That's what Paul Maurice did. He did what was best for the situation. And in the end, there was fun. But on the way up, there was no fun.
Growing pains.
Yeah.
I didn't know it at the time, but he was right.

Chapter 3: How does the performance of Tua Tagovailoa impact Dolphins' fan perceptions?
How crazy. If you would have, like... Talk to me. As I was lying sprawled on the grass outside of the former Orange Bowl, presently Marlins Park, after Butch Davis and FIU defeat Jaron Williams, who, let's just say, was a little off for reasons that I know but won't talk about. Sorry. Sorry.
If you would have told me several years after that that Miami would be hosting college game day and a Florida Panther would be the game day picker, I would have said there's no way we can actually climb that mountain. It's too high for both the Miami Hurricanes and hockey. I would say it'd be more likely that the Florida Panthers were playing in Hamilton.
I know no one's going to agree with this. Kind of a lame game day picker.
Get the hell out of here.
Kiss my ass. It's a lame picker. Kiss Roy's ass.
I know exactly why they're doing this, and I will tell you after the break. Matthew Kachuk.
Matthew Kachuk is a bad pick. That show has gone down to the standard of Stugatz has done the guest picking. You're going to say Kachuk is a bad pick?
It's close to the same level, honestly.
He's giving his body for this city.

Chapter 4: What are the critical stats affecting the Dolphins' performance this season?
Take a guess. Average air yards every football throw.
Definitely pathetic.
Something low. I don't think you know how pathetic. Guess as low as you want to guess. I think you're going to get it wrong even as I'm telling you. Guess on the extreme low.
Definitely pathetic. So I'm going to go...
Four yards. 1.4 yards per completion.
So pathetic. Late in the third or fourth, Tua was at negative five. That's bad. So, I mean, but Tyreek also had a ball hit both of his hands, like 40 yards down the field that he just dropped. Yeah. Yeah. I'm worried about Tyreek Hill.
You need a play there. I'm worried about the Dolphin offense for a number of different reasons, okay? Because you mentioned the Tyreek Hill play. There were two things said last night during the game that made me laugh. I was watching that game alone. I rarely laugh. You don't have any Dolphin friends?
Yeah.
I have dolphin friends, but I wanted to watch that game alone. Did you tell Valerie to get out of the room? Valerie went to a concert at the Hard Rock last night for her brother's birthday.

Chapter 5: How do injuries affect the performance of key Dolphins players like Tyreek Hill?
So I want to, though, because you're right. Hill dropped, it was a 50-yard pass, and it was one of the few, it was one of the few thrown down the field. And it would have changed that stat I just gave you, because they made Josh Allen into something last night that Patrick Mahomes has become, which is, oh, you're going to take away my entertainment, too.
They're going to score 31 points, but it's not going to be fun to watch them score the 31 points. But two stats they gave. Al Michaels said... Hill, Tyreek Hill, having a big game, and then gave the stats, five catches for 46 yards, which used to be a catch for him back in the glory days of the Dolphins two years ago. But this was the funniest stat.
The funniest stat was when he says, and Tua gets to 100 yards on the night. He's been very solid tonight, very good with his decision-making on his 26th attempt of the evening. This was deep in the fourth quarter when Tua got to 100 yards. The Dolphins played a game that was close. That surprised us.
But I really did think the beginning of the game was how the whole game was going to go, where Mike McDaniel was going to get fired in the third quarter because they just kept handing the ball to James Cook and he got a first. He put him in second and one every time he carried the football.
It was chunk yards everywhere. Every play for football. The Dolphins were leading at the beginning of the game. It was 7-0. They went right down the field.
I know, but the Bills hadn't touched the football yet. And I believe that the thing that's going to nuke this entire Dolphins season isn't the offense. I believe it's going to be the defense. I don't believe they're going to be able. The second half is the first time they've stopped anybody all season.
They do historically play the Bills tight under Mike McDaniel. They just never beat the Bills, and that was apparent yesterday. Mike McDaniel initially blamed Tua for the interception. Quarterback has to take the responsibility there, but we all have to be better. Kind of softened it and knew what he was saying as it was happening.
It's a couple weeks in a row that he's pulled that move.
Yeah, there's a couple encouraging things for Tua. We said, when you made the point, this guy doesn't make things happen. There were a couple of instances there where he made things happen with his legs rolled out, found Tyreek Hill. So that was encouraging, but just a back-breaking interception with your season on the line. You just can't do that. I don't think this guy's good.

Chapter 6: What insights can be drawn from the Dolphins' recent game against the Bills?
I just don't think that this is a franchise quarterback.
That's the part I have a problem with is what you said there. And Greg said that at the beginning of the week as well when we're talking about there were encouraging signs from Tua. He's in year six. Like, what are we talking about? Like, we're still growing. This was encouraging that he did. He's in year six. What are we talking about?
I think it's actually been a discouraging season for Tua. I don't think this looks like the same guy that they gave the contract to. And even then there were questions as to whether or not he was deserving of that contract and was a franchise quarterback. He seems to have regressed. And maybe it's Tua, maybe it's Tyreek Hill, maybe it's the play calling. I don't know.
But even when that pass that Tyreek Hill dropped that hit him in both hands, he was double covered. And Tua just heaved that up there, hoping that something miraculous would happen. I'm sure. With Tyreek and Tua, you don't see Tyreek getting behind the cornerbacks or the safeties anymore, and he just has to lob it over their heads.
Every long pass he's had to Tyreek has either been underthrown or the defenders are right there with Tyreek.
The one long completion this year was severely underthrown.
Yeah, it's just the two of them are not what they were clearly two years ago when this offense was clicking on all cylinders.
They were on the game tying touchdown at the end of the game where he threw the ball before Tyreek Hill made his break. The play you're talking about, the 50 yard play, you need Tyreek Hill to make that play because you're paying him to be neighbors.
Like whether you're covered or not, if you're the only one touching the ball, whether you're double covered or not, you were in position to make that play and it went through your hands. Easy for me to say. I understand that that's, you know, it's not the easiest catch, but...

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Brian Flores lawsuit for the Dolphins organization?
Zach Seeler blew up the long snapper. Just exploded through the long snapper and thought he was going to be able to make a play on a block punt. And people forget because they're outraged by the stupidity or what they think is the stupidity of trying your very best to make a hustle play that the Bills down that ball at the one yard line.
You felt real good about Tua going down the field from his own end zone there?
You like that better than they scored a touchdown and now you're trailing. Granted, it's not the ideal starting spot, but yeah, you'd take that over giving up a touchdown and starting at the 20.
Agreed, but I'm not going to criticize one of their best and most solid players for blowing up the line.
honestly like he did not go with intent he didn't wrap him and drive him to the ground just big like the kicker fell on him he touched his foot a little bit and then he fell on him it's a little flop situation like then you get into the whole thing which is is this kicker interference is this roughing the kicker if it was called one then it'd still be fourth down because they wouldn't have got enough yards and then it's because it's the other it's an automatic first down like
It's a ticky tacky call. I mean, look, the Dolphins shouldn't have been in that game anyways. They were favored or they were they were going to lose by 12 and a half points is what the line was. So the fact that they were that close, it was a tie game when that call happened. It did swing the momentum of the game.
They did get the ball back and then to a through an interception, which is what cost in the game. But it shouldn't have come down to that.
Hey, Jeremy, happy holidays. Happy Chinooka. I want to toast you. Actually, I don't. I will toast with you. Okay. We're co-workers. Friends, you could say. No, we cannot say that. But we both enjoy an ice-cold Miller Lite. That's true. Especially around the holidays. You know, it's the 50th anniversary of Miller Lite. It's really amazing. Every time we say that, I can't believe it.
Well, it's crazy because they've basically been partners with the Dan Levitard Show for half of their existence. Wow. When I put it to you that way, we got an old-ass show. Yeah, we do. That's crazy. Hey, let's look around at our friends, not each other, and our family, even though they're not here. I do miss your brother, though.
