What does Dan Le Batard think about the Heat's roster decisions?
Folks, I'm getting hungry. And you know my favorite part of any meal, snack, or game day app? That's right. The GOAT, or should I say the greatest of all time, Frank's Red Hot. It's got the perfect blend of flavor and heat that elevates all foods from wings to buffalo chicken dip to even ice cream. That's right. I said ice cream. And with a roster of flavors from OG to sweet chili, you can put that shit on everything. So make every dish the greatest and eat the GOAT. Can I get an honest appraisal from all people involved on and no sugarcoating? How does everyone feel about Trista's dog, Ollie, being here? Pretty non-obtrusive, like compared to all the other dogs. Couldn't wait a second before you started some shit.
I mean, I like dogs, I guess, but I like my dogs, you know? So I feel that way when people show you pictures of their kids. I feel like that's how people feel about kids. They like their kids. They don't want to hear your stories about your kids. But I tend to love all dogs, especially dogs, though, that are this non-obtrusive. I'm the one who allowed the dogs in the office, and there have only been a couple of complaints. It's Amin mostly, right? Amin is the one who complains the most about dogs in the workplace, and he believes it makes it a hostile work environment for him. But what is the appraisal from everyone here? Does anyone, do we know if anyone here has any objections that they have shared about Ali?
Because Ali seems lovely. First words. I mean. It's remarkable. Oh, my God. Your first words trying to get people in the office to fight.
How does the presence of Trista's dog impact the podcast dynamics?
And I was worried you might miss a step coming back. We have a guest in this week, Trista. It's like, someone say something bad about Trista. I'm not saying for anyone to say anything bad about Trista. Put the dog climbing all over you before the show. Do you like that? That's weird, right? Not what I said. I didn't say any of that. You guys are putting all these words in my mouth. I'm pretty good with words. The words that come out of my mouth, I'm generally aware of what they are, what they should be. Are you an inflammatory guy by nature? Yes. I mean, look at him. He's inflamed. I just want honesty. I want honesty in the workplace. You're like that little girl where she's smiling and the whole house is on fire behind her.
That's you. Juju always gives it to me straight. Juju, what is the appraisal here? Have you heard anything? What kind of feelings have you gotten from the room in general about the appearance of Ollie the dog?
Silence works typically in an audio format. In Juju's defense, he pressed on. It wasn't his problem. But is the fader down? That's usually where I would look first. If someone speaks and the microphone's on and the fader's down on the board, there's probably... No? You look like you're all over it. The fader's up. All right. Good. Good start. So Juju's not going to be able to speak for the whole show or what? Yeah. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast. So I go away for a few minutes, and we're at war with Iran. Stephen Hawking is in the Epstein files with photographs. The U.S. hockey team has given up all of its goodwill in five minutes. Reuben Bain's arms are too short. Tyler Van Dyke's career is over as a quarterback.
What else did I miss? What else do you guys have for me that changed while I was gone for a week? You were gone for a week. Are you just going to list everything? Like, things happen sometimes. I know things happen, but these are some substantive things that have happened.
What are the implications of Bam Adebayo's comments on Khalil Ware?
I appreciate the appraisal that things happen, but I didn't have Reuben Bain's arms being too short. Like they were the same size. They were the same size all of last season is what I'm saying. I saw him in the backfield all the time with those short arms and they didn't get any shorter. You wouldn't put them as too short, but you would put them in the same tier as that's as big a story as war with Iran. Yeah, all of that is in the same class of stuff. I put all of that in the same place, especially Tyler Van Dyke's career being over.
