Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero. Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold.

126.865 - 147.799 Unknown

That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister must be drank ice cold.

147.819 - 159.958 Unknown

160.883 - 188.899 Stugotz

We've got a hungover Halloween crew that sort of spent itself pre-Halloween, so Jujugati appears to be the only one around here who's put some effort and some thought into his costume. Nobody has put less thought into their costume than Roy Bellamy, who's sitting this out on religious grounds, and so I won't make too much fun of him, even though what he's doing is silly and has no effort.

Chapter 4: What Halloween costumes are discussed among the cast?

584.701 - 585.382 Stugotz

Four hours.

0

585.743 - 605.539 Unknown

I love how he's just like, this game's 60 minutes, but it's going to take four hours. So I know I'm saying 60, but I need more than 60 minutes of your time. I need four hours of your time. Because I know it's confusing, even though it says 60. We're going to need a little bit longer than that because we have a halftime. We have timeouts. I hate this guy. I'm sorry.

0

605.819 - 610.286 Roy Bellamy

Yeah, you've turned on him. It's just, I just, I can't with him anymore.

0

610.887 - 616.876 Chris Cody

I just want to watch Chris talk the whole show. It's so funny looking at his mouth move up and down.

0

616.896 - 631.071 Unknown

It's longer commercials on Thursday Night Football, too, so it's actually four and a half hours, probably. A normal one o'clock game on Sunday. Probably we can get under four hours, but a nationally televised game, we're going to need four hours and 15 minutes. And then you can take the rest of the night off. Thank you.

632.093 - 649.384 Amin Elhassan

Sometimes you just run into Charlie Kohler. Do y'all think that because it's weird and it's going on over there in Arizona right now with Kyler Murray. I feel like Jacoby Brissett has proven himself to be maybe the better quarterback in that situation. So do you think the Dolphins could go after someone like Kyler Murray?

649.364 - 675.892 Stugotz

Well, Tony's out on Kyler Murray. And obviously, I think if I put that in front of the Dolphin fan base, they would love to have something like that. Because one of the things that makes it so hopeless around here is Tua leads the league in interceptions. He's clearly not the answer. If... You need a quarterback. We know this. This is a problematic place to be as a franchise.

675.952 - 696.162 Stugotz

But if your quarterback is not the answer, then he's the question. And if he's the question leading the league in interceptions, Geno Smith has 10 interceptions and Tua last night throws one more interception. But they played in that game. They controlled the time of possession. They

696.142 - 718.909 Unknown

they played the better first half but you can't get inside the opponent's 30 yard line five times and end up with at the end of the game you've got six points on top of that it's the worst defense we've been talking about in the entire national football league outside of the defense that plays on your team and you have six points and you're moving the ball here and there but like they're dominating you and you look around and saying how is this happening to the worst team on defense in the league

Chapter 5: How are the Dolphins performing as the trade deadline approaches?

1377.03 - 1380.257 Chris Cody

He'll definitely be on the MVP ballot if he stays healthy and he keeps playing this way.

0

1380.355 - 1389.193 Stugotz

I'm having some trouble with the show because I got two guys in sunglasses and a guy on a horse's head, and I usually do this by eye contact, so I can't tell when you guys want to talk.

0

1389.213 - 1398.853 Unknown

Well, back here, we were just sort of discussing, like, if he's not the best player in the league, where is he? And I said he's either third or fourth because I would put Shea and Jokic ahead of him for sure. With the right

0

1398.833 - 1414.53 Unknown

But then after that, I mean, you look at Giannis and Tony said maybe Luka, but the impact on both ends of the floor, Wambinyama, what he does defensively to slow down teams, the defense that they have where these guards can just simply flinch

1414.51 - 1443.235 Unknown

funnel everyone into the paint his shot blocking ability completely changes the game you look at the stats across the nba and it's like victor leads the nba in rebounds victor leads the nba in blocks victor's really close to leading the nba in scoring it's like you look at all those things and it's like yeah it's the first week of the season first two weeks of the season we'll see how everything pans out but it's like this is now the runway for okay the next 10 to 12 years he's just going to be at the top of every stat sheet ever right and that to me equals best player in the league

1443.215 - 1453.069 Amin Elhassan

I feel like he's the best player in the league right now. Like, give me somebody who can do what he do on both ends of the court, cross you up. Like, he's the best player in the league right now if he stays healthy.

1453.529 - 1460.038 Stugotz

Where is the rest of your costume? I know there's a trees element to everything you're doing there with the Clippers and Aspiration.

1460.058 - 1462.742 Tony

Aspiration. It's about trees, right?

1464.005 - 1488.019 Stugotz

I think the place that I have to side with Juju on, and maybe this is a semantics discussion, because, okay, you don't want to underestimate all the things Jokic is. Can easily average a triple-double. Can, as Amin says, control the entire game going nine for ten. But if I tell you, when you mention Shea, that's an interesting one, because age, obviously, they're comparable.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Tua's performance for the Dolphins?

2102.435 - 2107.587 Roy Bellamy

He said he could do it anywhere. That's crazy. Murder. Murder. Tell him.

2109.102 - 2112.411 Unknown

Stugatz. I had no idea Mean had that in his locker.

0

2112.631 - 2117.063 Roy Bellamy

That might be his best. That's crazy. I'm not kidding. That's crazy, killer.

2117.464 - 2119.75 Chris Cody

It's two Americas dead. You don't get it?

2121.755 - 2125.204 Unknown

This is the Don Levitas show with the Stugatz.

2134.853 - 2153.072 Amin Elhassan

But also, let's not forget how Victor Wimbinyama spent his summer. He spent his summer with GOATS. KG, he spent his summer with Hakeem Olajuwon. With the Monks. With the Monks. But went over ball-headed. Bro was actually making himself better while... I don't know what everybody else was up to.

2153.152 - 2163.122 Chris Cody

Juju, his love of the game is what separates him. He's not afraid of the grind. He's not looking for TikToks and Instagram reels. He's trying to further the game.

2163.383 - 2177.198 Chris Cody

And his love of the history of the game took him to find knowledge from places like Hakeem Olajuwon, who has a skill set that's similar to his as a big man with guard mobility, and Kevin Garnett, whose love and fire and passion for the game was unmasked.

2178.379 - 2180.301 Stugotz

It has an undercurrent of Elmo to it.
