00:00everybody's ready we are loaded up here for the three o'clock hour

00:07Crowder has signed in from some nameless faceless hotel in some nameless faceless city

00:15I'm not certain that he can hear us or not but he is there and hey where are you where

00:22are you

00:23I am in where am I at I'm in um uh Fort Myers Fort Myers very close to I believe

00:37a Whataburger

00:38one of the few Whataburgers in Florida yeah that's how I that's how I know where everything is based

00:44on where the fast food establishments are um and then Brendan Tobin is here in the studio with me

00:50and Solana and Jimmy Tobin was waiting to record something at around 3 30 and I saw him sitting

00:56around I go hey why don't you jump on with us because yes appreciate it we need someone who

01:01knows sports every now and then and uh if he's just standing around doing nothing you might as well

01:06rather do this waiting around for UFC fighters trust me he uh are you gonna be watching the

01:11McGregor fight of course on Saturday does he have any chance to do anything no he's just old he was

01:16old on his last comeback wasn't he yeah he was old on his last comeback Max Holloway even though he

01:21just lost to Gaethje's too good um I mean McGregor's always got a puncher's chance in the first round

01:27but I just I don't know like even like around uh like the fight week he just looks like he's

01:34lost his

01:34aura you know yeah he's trying to do the whole hold on we got a 305 alarm it's a 305

01:41dollar dollar dollar dollar dollar dollar thank you Jimmy you're welcome 305 is sponsored by Miami

01:51Lakes Chevrolet where you walk in as a customer and drive out his family go ahead you were saying he

01:55was uh you know he's doing the whole he's found god he's giving up sex for the for the fight

02:00camp

02:01all the all the plays of a rehabilitated fighter you know so and I don't think anybody wants that

02:06kind of Conor McGregor you know even though you at least if you're gonna tune in you're not gonna

02:09be good at fighting anymore we want the shenanigans right heady play by him though get uh accused of

02:14several very disturbing allegations and just go straight to I found god the same thing Russell

02:19brand did you can find god I don't know about this whole give up on sex thing yeah that's a

02:25ridiculous thing yeah I've been doing it for years how's your fight skills probably top of the line

02:34I could knock out Bernie too man that's right McGregor's last victory was over Bernie

02:42and he cheated and he cheated yeah ridiculous shot took Jason Jackson right out of his broadcast game

02:49like the whole thing was there was never like a time worse for that because I'm pretty sure he

02:54showed up late and they didn't mean for it to be at the time that it was but they did

02:58the McGregor

02:59bit it was like third quarter of game three and they were getting smoked it was so bad behind the

03:05scenes of that remember I sit next to Jax on the broadcast he had to run down so the way

03:10that this

03:10was kind of set up was Jax looks at Tommy Tide and he says hey I think I gotta run

03:16down in like two

03:17seconds like he's talking to him while play-by-play is happening in queue like can you cover for me

03:22after

03:23this next dead ball so now Jax bolts down there what happens happens which nobody was expecting

03:30the face of poor Jason Jackson having to run up through the stands and then put his headphone

03:37back on to call the NBA finals he's like he saw a ghost knowing that he had just presided over

03:44a

03:44disaster yeah it was a disaster all the crowd booing and upset but who cares let's get love mascot was

03:50let's get LeBron who cares let's let's move on how do you think I want to talk to Tobin about

03:56the

03:56Marlins but how do you think I'll go around the room here I'm just curious how do you think LeBron

04:04makes the announcement of where he's going to end up the first one we know was the decision with Jim

04:11Gray the second one going back to Cleveland was Sports Illustrated how did the Lakers announcement

04:19happen just on social media just a tweet because my gut's telling me you've said it like all week

04:25somehow Rich Paul's gonna leverage it into clicks and views so I wouldn't be surprised if it's Max

04:31Kellerman and Rich Paul coming out with an emergency pod or you know making the announcement I'm just

04:36curious how you guys think the announcement happens I think it's gonna be more than just a tweet I think

04:43it's gonna be a presentation LeBron is so smart like everything everything is calculated I think

04:49it's a very calculated move what's going on I think he knows he's going back to Cleveland he might do

04:54something not the boys and girls club thing but I think he's gonna do a presentation with it

05:00golf cart with Giannis on the golf course like that seems to be the thing oh he loves golf now

05:05you're

05:06you're you're solidified in your opinion Crowder that he's going to Cleveland because I'm starting to

05:11vacillate I'm starting to think that maybe Miami is is like again double bookend of the career two

05:18seasons left one final go round with the heat one final go round with the Cavs his wife is from

05:25Cleveland he went back to Cleveland he did the Cleveland thing I think I'm solidified that he's

05:31going to play for the Cavs I am coming to Miami I got him coming to Miami I have this

05:36gut feeling the

05:37same way Adam Schefter uh out of nowhere has this gut feeling uh but I think he wants to win

05:43another

05:43ring I've been saying it for two weeks right Crowder like he wants to win to me this is not

05:48a retirement

05:48tour I think he comes to Miami and I think it's Rich Paul and Max Kellerman doing like some live

05:54Twitter episode and they bring him in and Max Kellerman has some uh death beam pointed down to earth

06:02one final shot Andre I think but I think that's how it happens like everything has been

06:10so that Rich Paul can get clicks on this with the whiteboard like or it's just Rich Paul and Max

06:16Kellerman and there's a team on the whiteboard they hold up a whiteboard like uh like a high school

06:21athlete with a hat they hold up a whiteboard that's got a city's name on it be interesting um

06:27anyway we'll just kind of monitor because who knows when it's going to happen Tobin you started your show

06:32today and you're wearing a Marlins hat right now you started your show today and I started the show

06:35today saying hey we got to talk Marlins we'd be remiss if you're doing sports radio in Miami and you

06:42don't start by talking Marlins and you were saying which I thought was right on there's no gaping hole

06:49in this roster like they actually whether you believe this is an aberration or not or whether you think this

06:56is an actual playoff team you can't point at anywhere on that roster and say if they can maybe

07:04get that taken care of like they've got everything kind of pretty well taken care of no yeah it's been

07:10an interesting run for them because they've been through so many tough things this year with their

07:15starters going down and kind of piecing that together and that's almost where this run started but the

07:22thing that's been impressive about this last six weeks is you know they were kind of just a three

07:26man band it was just Otto Lopez Liam Hicks and Xavier Edwards and maybe someone's going to show up every

07:32now and then and I was getting very annoyed early on in the season they were trying to make Christopher

07:37Morella thing and you know Connor Norby and then like eventually they got to the point of they know who

07:42their best guys were and the big thing of it it was for me was Kyle Stowers playing like an

07:48all-star

07:48again so you know once he started coming through it felt like a lot of the other young bats Joe

07:54I

07:54mean the the the development of Joe Mack has been awesome too because you know that was a big worry

07:59coming into the season with Augustine Ramirez he's like the talk of baseball by the way he's he's

08:04incredible he's incredible you can't steal on him and it's like this throwback because you almost like

08:08give up on it these days like you know guys are stealing left and right this guy is like a

08:12throwback to

08:13pudge off the knees like he's a legit weapon behind home plate and it feels like it's just kind of

08:19brought everything together with him so yeah there's questions obviously because they're young

08:24but I think one of the things that I like about it is they've had been through some some some

08:29hard

08:29things already they've been able to get through it they've weathered some injuries um but I don't

08:34know I don't know if they could beat like the Dodgers in a seven game series but I certainly think

08:39they've proven enough already that they're going to be in this playoff race and and Tobes what one

08:44thing I've been going back before we talked to to to Strom we talked to I heard Craig Michonne with

08:49Joe earlier and my whole thing is I love everybody was talking pitching and all that stuff it's bats

08:54yeah you have to put points on the board right and that's the thing that the that the fins are

08:59doing

08:59right now the fish are doing right now they're putting points on the board but I'm scared my question

09:05would be can they continue that where Joe Max crazy behind the plate you know Uri was you know

09:12well I will probably just talk about he was about to throw a perfect game all of that stuff told

09:16but

09:16can these damn bats keep going because that's why I think baseball is one yeah that's definitely the

09:21thing because they haven't had like a row of young guys who could really match Crowder since

09:27Ozuna Stanton Yellich man they've had a lot of bums in that lineup ever since and now you got

09:34Peter Bendix who goes out and he gets an Owen Casey for for Edward Cabrera that dude when he

09:39connects oh my god it goes like it goes so far uh Stowers is rounded into form he's kind of

09:44the

09:44the heartbeat of all and then this Alberto Hernandez like I mean he's cracking it dude like you're just

09:51oh my every these shots that they're monster he is without question my favorite Alberto in

09:57sports no question really yeah who's second

09:59I knew the last name was gonna be something couldn't let it just sit there huh

10:12it depressed me

10:15Jimmy is he your favorite Iroberto athlete ever oh for sure yeah yeah

10:21are there good Burt's in sports just Burt's Burt Burt Blylevin yes

10:27Burt Nerney Burt Nerney not really athletes but uh I just I didn't know I didn't know the

10:33assignment Burt Burt Reynolds yeah he was uh for FSU yeah Jim Burt Jim Burt wasn't he with the

10:42Giants I think you made that up no no Jim Burt isn't there a football player Jim Burt

10:47yelling names now B-U-R-T Jim Burt am I making that up Burt Troutman footballer no Jim Burt

10:55yeah he played for the Giants big fan huge Burt who am I missing Burt Sugar oh I mean how

11:07but I mean the boxing wrapped up in sports who doesn't who didn't love Burt Sugar recipes that's

11:13the that's like that's your wheelhouse man all right let's do uh let's do headlines here

11:18Rod Allen by the way from the Marlins broadcast team he is going to join us in the four o

11:23'clock

11:23hour headlines are brought to you by Darrell Kia and if you need to go because you have an

11:27interview you're more than welcome to go we'd love you to stick around for as long as you can

11:30I got five for you uh headlines brought to you by Darrell Kia in Miami at a Domino's game you'll

11:35always find your abuelito and when you want a low price you save with your pricey though

11:40save now with your pricey though at Darrell Kia I wanted to ask Tobin something about the Dolphins

11:44because um I suggested that it's not completely impossible that they turn heads and win seven

11:52eight nine games next season but there's breaking news in the NBA actual big breaking news it's not

12:00LeBron but the Raptors released a statement regarding our planned trade with the Clippers for Kawhi Leonard

12:07the NBA league office informed us that as a result of the ongoing investigation involving the Clippers

12:14we would assume the risk of any potential outcome of the investigation impacting Kawhi in light of

12:21this we will wait until the league's investigation is complete they don't want to get Terry Rozier'd

12:28the Raptors you learn unless you can't trust Adam Silver right because like if a mistake happens

12:34he's gonna be like oh sorry but we talked about this all last week where we're like hold on a

12:38second

12:38there's an ongoing investigation what if Kawhi Leonard is found guilty and has to

12:44serve a two-year suspension or a one-year suspension or whatever 50-game suspension

12:48are the Raptors really going to be happy with giving up multiple first-round picks Brandon Ingram

12:53and all that for a guy who's not going to be available I mean how could you know we watched

12:58it we watched this transpire down here not to that level because it's not Kawhi but

13:05yeah by the way uh someone pointed out on the chat Jim Burt went to University of Miami

13:09not only not only is he a two-time Super Bowl champion and a pro bowler but he's a Miami

13:17Hurricane

13:18Jim Burt

13:22it's Kawhi he's not that it's not as bad as what we did with Terry Rozier Terry Rozier was gambling

13:30Kawhi invested in a company and got money off of it well no he didn't invest in a company he

13:36got

13:36paid he got they circumvented the salary cap right you know we talked remember we talked yesterday

13:43about the Dolphins and it's like hey if everyone else has a hundred million dollars to work with

13:47and you have 20 million dollars to work with you can't field as good a roster it's just impossible

13:52well what if everyone's got a hundred million dollar limit and you found a way to actually spend

13:58200 million dollars that's not fair here's the problem that I have though I believe the Clippers

14:04are more culpable in that than Kawhi Leonard Terry Rozier was completely culpable in whatever he's found

14:12guilty of I believe there's more punishment due to the Clippers organization than a player even if he was

14:20kind of the or his uncle was kind of the guy behind putting it all together and that's what I

14:25was saying

14:25like it I don't I don't think those are on the same playing field what Kawhi did and what Terry

14:29did

14:30I think there would be more organizational punishment than player punishment this has happened in the past

14:35too like they're probably gonna avoid his contract so he's still got a year left so they're not gonna be

14:40a

14:40trade so if he ended up wanting to go to Toronto if he even if he wasn't spending that's why

14:44you

14:44wouldn't want the trade to go through one because as you said Adam Silver does nothing especially when

14:48he wrongs teams but two what do you have to trade for you could go get him for for essentially

14:52whatever

14:53you have in cash space now too so it benefits the Raptors if he gets in trouble uh yes it

15:00could kind of

15:01it could yeah is it crazy to suggest the Dolphins could win 10 games next season stupid

15:10it's so hopeful though like what are you doing that with you know that's the thing they're they're

15:15markedly worse than they were last season I love it I'm I'm optimistic guy there's no chance there's

15:21just no chance yeah it's just that schedule is really hard and they're gonna have to you know

15:28they're I mean Malik will is gonna have to knock our socks off I forgot to look at the schedule

15:31before making it's really hard what division are they in again it's really tough with the when the

15:40Raiders game is a must win week one because you just need to rack up wins we got a must

15:44win

15:45like week one they put it they put into the uh I saw that ESPN piece where they ranked the

15:52Dolphins last and they're like the x-factor for this season and they're like chop Robinson I'm like

15:56isn't it Malik Willis isn't it the quarterback I think that's kind of the x-factor not chop no we

16:04need chop come on man 10 is crazy to say that's crazy first five games at Vegas at Niners hosting

16:12Kansas City at Minnesota and then hosting Joe Burrow you know for one there I mean you're in the
