00:00All right, y'all, we're just going to go ahead and take the high road here, okay?
00:02Take the high road here.
00:03It's 99.5 QIK, Mark and Melanie, Tampa Bay's morning crew.
00:06So we talked about this yesterday.
00:08Melanie did some in-depth reporting on Twitter,
00:11and she found out that the Marlins were talking smack about the Tampa Bay Rays on Twitter.
00:16Oh, yeah.
00:17It got deep.
00:18There's some West Side Story stuff.
00:20I mean, there was beef happening.
00:22So we swept them, right?
00:23And then they were like, they posted some picture about,
00:26oh, this is the third baseman that your third base coach warned you about.
00:30And then the Rays were like, ah, funny, but post the winning out because we won.
00:34And then the Rays were like, well, here's the broom we swept you with, whatever this and that.
00:38And then they went savage, the Marlins did, and they said,
00:40you are literally the animal that killed Steve Irwin.
00:43This is all on Twitter.
00:44This isn't our language or, you know, verbiage.
00:48This is what they wrote.
00:49And it was like, man, it was dirty.
00:51Then they since apologized.
00:53Yeah, but not to the Rays.
00:55They have just apologized to Steve Irwin fans.
00:57Right.
00:58Saying, hey, we grew up watching him, too, and we apologized for making light of his death.
01:02Which is crazy.
01:04And by the way, the Marlins are horrible.
01:06Yeah, exactly.
01:06Like, horrifically horrible.
01:07Okay.
01:08It's the most anyone's ever talked about him.
01:09Yeah, I know.
01:10We should send them a bill for even mentioning this right now.
01:13Okay.
01:14But I will say, we're going to take the high road on this.
01:16There's a new Marlins player, and he just got called up a couple days ago.
01:21So, obviously, his parents are there to watch him play.
01:22First game in the big leagues, right?
01:24He hits a home run, his third at bat.
01:27And they're interviewing his dad while he's at bat.
01:30And listen to his dad.
01:31Now, listen.
01:32We're taking the high road here.
01:33We're going to celebrate a great achievement by a Marlins player.
01:36And let's send this segment to the Marlins and just say, we're taking the high road here.
01:41And even though y'all were just nasty and terrible to raise fans, we're just going to take the high road.
01:46So, listen to this.
01:46Is this an emotional day for you?
01:48Very, very emotional.
01:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:57We just hovered against the ground in his major league debut.
02:01That is unreal.
02:03We are blessed.
02:04We're grateful.
02:05Thank you again.
02:06It really is a great moment.
02:07It is.
02:07I got chills when I heard the ball leave the bat, and then his dad starts screaming.
02:12That was like, every dad wants that for their kid, that moment.
02:14Whatever that is, whether it's in sports or business or, you know, whatever.
02:17You want that moment.
02:18So just throwing it out there, Marlins.
02:20We are celebrating one of your players.
02:22It was a great moment.
02:23We are taking the high road, and I hope the sweep felt good.
02:28Good luck to your future endeavors.
02:30Yes.
02:31We wish you well in your future endeavors.
02:36It's like the company email they send out when someone no longer works here.
02:40Every week.
02:40So-and-so never.
02:42Someone doesn't work here.
02:43We wish them well.
02:43You get them all the time.
02:44I know.
02:44It's crazy.
02:45All right.
02:45So we'll take the high road on that.
02:47And I just thought it was a good moment.
02:50All right.
02:50Brantley Gilbert, before we get in too much trouble here.
02:52Brantley Gilbert and Michael Red.
