Yeah, so make sure to check out Never miss your shot golf.com to support the people who support us. Zaslow is doing drive time the next couple of days on ESPN Radio with Harry Douglas. You gotta get me the sound of Bo Bach yelling at Harry Douglas to celebrate. Maybe you can play this sound for Harry Douglas made famous on Bo Bach show, but also our show where Bo Bach is yelling about Harry Douglas in a way that is shaking a prescription pill case. I don't. You haven't heard it. You're looking at me like you have not heard it. I saw earlier in the show that Trista and Jeremy had not heard something that we have played around here that has become popular. Chris is going to get that sound for us in a moment so you could see and hear for yourself who it is that Bo Bach is yelling about. Because it's the only time I've done word association on Harry Douglas. I do not think of him as a former Falcons receiver. I do not think of him as a current broadcaster. I think of him as the object at the center of bobach's rage.
Chris Cody
I mean, you don't know anything about what you're talking about. And you have the nerve to pull up here and say to you, say to me that we're trying to upsell the falcons to you, sir. You're not a falcon fan. You haven't been. And if you have been, you don't know what you're looking at. Stop being a homer, bro. Get out of my home. I'm the last one who's a homer. Don't you ever call me a homer. Who the hell do you think has been saying The Truth since 1973 on Atlanta radio? Who?
Dan LeBatard
We've got disagreement between Tristan Jeremy on the c. O. No signs. Jeremy is giving that a hearty c. Trista is giving that a no.
Trista
This guy is a nut.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah, that about covers it. It's a good question. Take it up with trista. You should bow. You take it up with trista. She's calling you a nutball.
Chris Cody
Who?
Dan LeBatard
I already told you. That's a very limited impersonation you're doing of bobach there. You only got the who. You don't have anything else who. I heard you the first three times. Something that we were discussing yesterday that I want to put in front of the group based on a tom haberstrough stat.
Mike Ryan
What do you say?
Dan LeBatard
So to mike Ryan's point on the Miami heat aren't accomplishing anything by getting in the play play in game. I was saying there are 10 teams in the league that are trying to lose and if you're just simply not one of them, you're going to get into the playoffs. Those 10 teams together presently have a 44 game losing streak.
Zazlow
It's unreal. It's unreal.
Dan LeBatard
But they just. They're just existing. They're not. They're not NBA teams. They're only NBA teams in name and uniform. But. But they're only out there to make sure to lose.
Mike Ryan
Wow. You're right.
Chris Cody
You look.
Mike Ryan
You look at the teams that are outside the play in. In both conference. They're all on losing streaks. Matter of fact, only one of them is not on an actual streak.
Dan LeBatard
It's not.
Mike Ryan
They've lost one game.
Dan LeBatard
It's not in Chicago. It's not an accomplishment to get into the basketball playoffs when that's. What's. What are you shaking your head about, Jeremy?
Tony
The play in rocks like the play in is the reason the hornets have played hard at this point of the season.
Mike Ryan
What are you talking about? The hornets play Hard because they're a good team.
Tony
No, the Hornets have tanked for nine years in a row. And if they had been as bad as they were for the first two months of the season, they would have mailed it in and have a bunch of guys with fake surgeries also, just like the rest of these teams. But because they had an opportunity to still get to the postseason, they were able to evolve over the course of the season. It's going to be the coolest test of the play in ever. They might be a 9 or a 10 seed. They might be despite being one of the best teams in basketball during the second half. And this will give them an opportunity to get to the postseason. I don't know how we could possibly perceive the play in as a bad thing when that's a possibility.
Zazlow
Charlotte is not looking at being like, all right, let's get this big three together and see what we can do with Miller, with Lamelo ball and with Con Canipple and see if we can make the play in. This is like, all right, we're playing for year two of this, year three of this, year four of this. Let's see what we have here so we know what we have.
Mike Ryan
They think they're good.
Tony
Yeah, finally. But they would have thought they were bad.
Trista
Finally. We have to get to the accuracy because below the heat there is a team, and that's the Hornets, that are on a win streak, a six game win streak, by the way. And they're beating teams in those six games by over 15, which is a larger margin than every other team except for the 2017, 2018 Golden State Warriors. And to that I say if the Hornets end up in the playoffs and they're an eighth seed. Cade Cunningham, watch your ass.
Dan LeBatard
Whoa. That sounded like a threat and a warning. Put it on the poll, please. Is Khan Knipple the greatest name presently in basketball? And also put it on the poll. Is Khan Knipple the greatest name ever in basketball?
Mike Ryan
It was at least a month ago that like a crazy person, Tony was saying that there could be some good odds on Con Caniple to win Rookie of the Year. Is he now the favorite?
Zazlow
Yeah, he is the favorite. Yeah.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah. But you walked it back because Cooper flag had a 49 point game.
Zazlow
Walk it back. Said tone instantly when I said it, tone. I don't know, Dan. I can pull. I can have Mike Fuentes pull up because he was looking at it yesterday. I can, I can say, look, the take was they're going to give it to Cooper Flag because of politics. Zazz as you would say, Paula Tricks. There's your dollar right there. Give me a dolly. Okay, thank you. So Paula Tricks, we'll give it to Cooper flag but we know that the better numbers and the better games being played by Conquer nipple and that was my take the next day he had 49 points and I said dan, look what it is. I give you this beautiful take, this tapestry of take and then all of a sudden Cooper flag has 49 points again. That's not walking.
Dan LeBatard
We have the proof. We have the proof here that Tony got it right when he said a long time ago he was telling you about con can. He's not wrong.
Zazlow
He's just early Bet the castle that Con canipple is your rookie of the year over Cooper Flag. I know that's crazy. I know people are going to say there's no way Cooper flag is generational. If you look at what Cooper of what con caniple is doing for the Charlotte Hornets, you'll be very surprised. He's had a lot of really good games. True shooting percentage of of 63 where Cooper's is more of like 54. Bet the castle Con canipple is your rookie of the year.
Mike Ryan
Pretty good.
Zazlow
It's decent, right?
Mike Ryan
It's pretty good.
Zazlow
I do decent work sometimes. And again, like Dan said, not wrong, just early and conceptual. Lamelo Ball, if he can stay, you know, straight on, straight and narrow on his car literally saying in his lane. His lane.
Domino
Wow.
Chris Cody
Literally. Despite his dad's famous tagline.
Zazlow
And also literally stay in your lane. Exactly right. And Brandon Miller making sure that he's also on the straight and narrow. Concanipple is the masterpiece of the Charlotte Hornets franchise to keep everybody in the same way going forward.
Chris Cody
Man, I want one of those. A start of build around.
Zazlow
He's great.
Chris Cody
That sounds amazing.
Dan LeBatard
Well, he is great. But I think I have it right when I say their best player is Brandon Miller. Like which is when Lamella ball was their best player. They looked like they looked because he was irresponsible and selfish with the user usage rate. But I don't think the nation at large knows how good that team is. And that team is that good, I believe because they've put ball into a place where he's their third option, not their first option. Do I have that wrong? Trista?
Trista
He's still, I mean he's facilitating in playmaking and he's still the guy. There is a one legged sort of Dirk esque step back from the other half.
Mike Ryan
He did it again last night.
Trista
He is Electric. I am now starting to come back onto the Lamello ball trade. I think he's a winning player now. Truly, the lobs that he's making. I just am so enticed by this team. But I. I gave the photo. I don't know if we have it in queue, but Andy Roddick has jumped on to the Charlotte Hornets train with his hot ass wife.
Mike Ryan
Oh, you know about that hot ass wife, Dan?
Trista
You know about that hot young wife, Dan?
Dan LeBatard
I do not. Whoa.
Trista
I think you do.
Chris Cody
Oh, no.
Zazlow
Dan, you gotta say yes. Dan, you gotta say yes, sir.
Trista
You know about it.
Dan LeBatard
You gotta.
Zazlow
Dad, you gotta say yes, sir.
Mike Ryan
We love her.
Dan LeBatard
What is the matter with the inner monologue and how it's coming out all fuzzy? So, Andy Roddy, I didn't like that cold feet thing. You know, that goes both ways.
Chris Cody
You were a famous bachelor. Maybe it was some symbolism that she
Dan LeBatard
was trying to tell us.
Tony

Don LeBatard I want to address Tony
Dan LeBatard
and all men who would wear that shirt in public.
Chris Cody
Stugats don't do it. This is the Don lebatar Show with the stugats.
Dan LeBatard
Tell me about Andy Roddick's hot ass wife. What are we doing here? What is what? Why is Zaz.
Chris Cody
It's Brooklyn Decker.
Mike Ryan
She's in that adaptation Sandler movie. Just go with it. I mean comes out of the ocean the early aughts.
Trista
I was watching this game and I'm like is that. That cannot be Andy Roddick. I went backwards on my league pass because of course they're still hating on our hornets, you know, putting them on league pass not putting them on prime time, even though the spurs are beating the Sixers by 40. But still a league pass. And I paused it and I Google and I said, brooklyn Decker has Andy, the Andy Roddick in a moose hat. And all I thought was, I need Dan and his hot ass young wife to put him in a moose hat.
Dan LeBatard
We gave the stat earlier in the show that. That Charlotte starting lineup is 20 and 2. They have won 16 of their last 19, and they've beaten the last three defending champions by more than 20 points. They do that in Boston last. They smoked Boston last night from the very beginning of that game.
Mike Ryan
Boston, Charlotte first downstairs would be fun.
Dan LeBatard
But that's first time in 60 years. Like, I don't know how I could give you guys something more surprising in basketball than that nowhere franchise that has on its Mount Rushmore of moments that a purple shirt guy on their sideline pissed off Dwayne Wade to get them eliminated from the one playoff series that Kemba Walker had a chance to win in his entire career. To be a team that all of a sudden is fun and smoking. The last three defending champions. It hasn't happened in 60 years to take out those. That caliber of team where you're taking out Boston, OKC and Denver that way. I'm not kidding you when I say it represents the best stuff that you've seen in the history of that franchise. And you have to go back to find anything like it. Jamal Mashburn knocking out Anthony Mason and Alonzo Mourning's heat to find anything in that franchise's history that anyone remembers.
Mike Ryan
But I even believe that team you're talking about was New Orleans, though I don't even think it was the Charlotte.
Dan LeBatard
It was pre. Charlotte.
Chris Cody
Charlotte.
Zazlow
Yeah.
Chris Cody
Yeah, they made the trade. It was Eddie Jones, the starter jacket.
Mike Ryan
My boss.
Zazlow
Yeah, no, that was a bad one.
Dan LeBatard
What was that. What was that word?
Mike Ryan
My boss. Dolly.
Zazlow
He's right.
Dan LeBatard
Okay? He's right.
Zazlow
I will say this though, Dan. To your point, though, Brandon Miller is probably their best player. He almost feels like a young Paul George in the making, where it's like he can kind of do everything at that size. Where it's like, oh, wow, wait a second. Like, he could be a dynamic player in this league in the next couple of years.
Chris Cody
Three young starts.
Zazlow
Yeah, they do. They have.
Dan LeBatard
Damn.
Tony
All it took was being the worst team in the world for 15 years.
Trista
And Sion James, another dookie. Really good again.
Chris Cody
And Moose, I don't understand.
Dan LeBatard
Moose.
Chris Cody
I don't understand just the clear lack of confidence that you have In Pat Riley and this front office to nail a lottery pick. It's like everybody's like, why would we take. We're obviously going to shit the bed when we pick somebody. Do you have trust in your team?
Trista
No.
Chris Cody
I just hope that we could get
Tony
a number one pick so we can get guys like Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz. DeAndre, I gave you the Aion Williamson. Or a number two pick like Alex Sar. A number three pick like Scoot Henderson. Oh, it'd be so awesome to get one of those top picks like Keegan Murray or Jaden Ivey.
Chris Cody
Yeah, that's what you think the Miami Heat are going to do with the opportunity. And I actually have faith in the hall of Famer Pat Riley and by that.
Zazlow
Mike, really quick, what happened last year in the. In the lottery last year where the Miami heats pick. What?
Chris Cody
I was multiple years. No, no, last year, what happened where. I'm not going to talk about that.
Zazlow
The Dallas Mavericks had the Miami heats pick. And what happened on peace treaty?
Chris Cody
Sign a peace treaty. He's not allowed.
Zazlow
I didn't sign it.
Mike Ryan
All right.
Dan LeBatard
They go to the finals twice in
Tony
six years and then. Tell me about being the Hornet.
Zazlow
I'd rather have Cooper flag.
Dan LeBatard
I'd rather be the Hornets.
Tony
Ridiculous.
Chris Cody
And Wemby, too.
Zazlow
That was another one, Dan. I had two of them.
Dan LeBatard
I was laughing at Jeremy. I was laughing at how much Zaz, who's meant to look like Pitbull, looked like Michael Chiklis instead. You guys just mentioned Wemby, and I erred, I think, slightly in talking basketball earlier this week when I said if we were going in the most predictable sport with what would and should be the most predictable thing. Boston and okc having those kinds of point differentials would make them obvious predictable favorites. But I really didn't account for something that is a wild card, which is a lot of betting money is coming in on Wemby because of how OKC looks scared of him like that. OkC? There's only one team in the sport. The last, I'm going to say, two and a half years. There's only one team in the sport that actually obviously scares OKC and distorts them. Do you guys believe in the sample size? It's a small one of OKC looking really bad against Wemby only being throttled by Wemby only being able to not stop one someone defensively when it's Wemby's team.
Trista
Yeah, I think the thing about Wemby is he's like the middle linebacker of an NBA team. I saw him in the NBA cup, and when he came in, they were down huge, right? And immediately everything changed. And he's telling all the perimeter guys, hey, go over there, go over there. And those perimeter guys, like Dylan Harper, like Steph Castle, like Keldon Johnson, like Devin Vassell, are able to get into the gym shorts of okc, make life just as uncomfortable as the Thunder normally does to their opponents, because they know that Wemby has such the wingspan that he can cover so much floor that even if they get cooked, he's there on the back end. Pause.
Zazlow
Hey, yo, Trista. I was thinking about this the other day, and obviously I like the pieces surrounding Wemby, right? I think they have a lot of young, good, young players. My issue is I feel like the spurs are going to end up in a bit of the same situation that the Pistons are in right now, which is you have your one star kind of being the centerpiece of everything. And if, like, Wemby has an off night or he's hurt, or if he's just not playing well, it feels like. I don't know if I trust a lot of those guys right now, this very moment, to go off and. And have this run. If Wemby's not playing well, I am
Trista
a little concerned about the shooters. There's a high variance nature to.
Zazlow
Castle's great.
Trista
He can't shoot right. And like, you still have a sell who I think is a really good. Has become a really good three and D guy. And he's an absolute bucket. He's become a lot better. I think the metrics for like, left and right corner shots are like, a little bit interesting. But yeah, I think in general, you saw that with OKC in the. In the Dallas series a couple of years ago. They couldn't shoot for shit, and that's why they got sent home.
Chris Cody
I love the association now, honestly, it's been really easy to follow. You literally can jump in right now and kind of get the lay of the land immediately. It jumps off the screen. In the west, three teams got a shot. In the east, four, maybe five. And this is wide open. This is actually a really good thing. And I'm a child of the 90s where the sport was pretty predictable. I'm actually enjoying where we are.
Dan LeBatard
I do, though, want to point out, because I really don't think people are paying attention and shouldn't be to what Charlotte is doing. Give me the stat of the day music. Because it's not just that they're the most Fun team in the league to watch the style of play right now. Wait till you hear this stat.
Chris Cody
Start of the day, start of the
Dan LeBatard
day it is the start of the day. Start of the day, Start of the day it is the start of the day.
Chris Cody
Start of the day, Start of the
Dan LeBatard
day it is the start of the day.
Chris Cody
Start of the day, Start of the
Dan LeBatard
day it is the start of the day. Anybody here want to guess on those stats that I just gave that they're 20 and two with that starting lineup? Charlotte is. And they've won 16 of their last 19. You want to guess what Con Knippel is shooting from? 3. This is from Tom Haberstro when Lamelo ball and Brandon Miller on the court creating the chaos that allows him to just get wide open threes. You guys want to take a guess what his shooting percentage is from three? Any of you?
Mike Ryan
52.
Zazlow
I was going to go exactly 52. Zez.
Trista
Yeah, 54.
Dan LeBatard
58% from three.
Domino
Is that good?
Dan LeBatard
That's crazy. That's. That's basically what LeBron James, Steph Curry right now, LeBron James best season in Miami was the one where he shot 58% from the field. He decided, I'm just going to be efficient this year. I don't, I'm not, not going to play the way that I've been playing. It's just going to be. I'm going to make sure that I make the maximum number of shots that I can make. Usually to shoot 58%, you have to be dunking the basketball.
Zazlow
You have to be a big getting, you know, shots of bunnies around the hoop. And he's. His true shooting percentage is unreal. And that's why one of the things that I was saying about the Castle all that time ago was like the advanced metrics love Khan canip in a way that people love Cooper flag and what he's doing. And he's got decent advanced metrics too. But Khan is so good that like people aren't realizing what, what it is that they're watching. Last week when you were in la, Dan, I had the conversation with Amino. I was like, look, if whatever number he gets to is going to be a legendary number. But if Con canipple can stay healthy, I think that one day he could maybe try and reach close to Steph Curry as far as made threes in a career.
Dan LeBatard
You put so many diluters on the front end of that in order, you rendered it irrelevant.
Zazlow
You had to stay healthy.
Dan LeBatard
Everything that you said was rendered.
Zazlow
He has to shut
Chris Cody
it's got to stop Steph Curry.
Zazlow
They might have Steph Curry one day.
Chris Cody
By the way, we got Tyler hero.
Zazlow
He would have.
Chris Cody
And the same questions that we've always had about Bama. To buy a question, life concanipple would
Zazlow
have to shoot 285 threes for 15 years to get where Steph Curry is right now.
Chris Cody
How many decades do I have to ask if this guy puts it all together?
Dan LeBatard
Jeremy's pitch clock is coming up later in hour two. So we're going to again segregate baseball over there like we did during Jackie Robinson's day. We're gonna segregate base.
Chris Cody
Welcome to the wbc.
Dan LeBatard
He's been wanting to talk Marlins as well. He cannot do that. You're gonna find all of your baseball stuff in the second hour of the show.
Chris Cody
Have you not watched these spring training games, Dan, with the countries versus the MLB teams? I learned the other day that Jorge Posada is on the Italian baseball staff.
Mike Ryan
It's the best.
Chris Cody
Jorge Posada.
Dan LeBatard
He makes the salad.
Chris Cody
Make it the salad. Jorge Posada did.
Dan LeBatard
Domino is in the other room and we are celebrating 305 day. We are going to do so here with an assortment of games, obstacle courses. Nonsense. I need some help here from the group on. On how it is that we're going to do this with Domino. Who's going to be competing? What are the rules and what specifically are we doing here, Tony?
Zazlow
So we're doing obstacle course with two different teams that have been pre selected. All right, so our team is me, Trista and Chris Cody. That's one team. And then the other team is Mike, Jeremy and Zaz. So we're gonna have three different stations. It's gonna be relay race style. So when you finish one station, you gotta get your baton, pass it to the next guy. He goes off and does it.
Dan LeBatard
Mike doesn't seem to like his teammates.
Chris Cody
I don't like my team at all.
Zazlow
You're gonna have to do a lot of heavy lifting today, buddy.
Mike Ryan
Talk about you, Jeremy.
Tony
All right, Billy Joel, do you want
Zazlow
me to read you the list of obstacle courses that we're going to be going?
Trista
I think they're obstacles.
Tony
I think Homer Simpson's the best one.
Zazlow
You are human. Homer Simpson.
Tony
Homer Simpson.
Mike Ryan
When did Homer wear sunglasses?
Tony
Okay, how about Dean Norris in Breaking Bad?

Hey, it's Mike Ryan and I want to talk to you about the random midweek hang. That you have with your friends. Maybe it's an NBA game. You get a text, hey, come over. You want to watch the game? And maybe you're like, I don't know, I kind of just wanted to stay home. And then you think about it after your buddy hits you up and you know, just the thing that'll make that regular hang that regular midweek hang around the basketball game into a special time, into a Miller time.
Tony
That's right.
Chris Cody
This happened to me just last week. I grabbed a six pack of Miller Lite, said I was on my way, and next thing you know we're arguing about rotations like we're on the coaching staff yelling about a missed call and the game's coming down in the final possession. It was one of those nights that you look around, you take a sip and you think, yeah, this was the right call and my friendship's stronger for it. Cheers to legendary moments with Miller Lite.

Chris Cody
Don LeBatard to US residents.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, wow. That's pretty.
Chris Cody
Think I haven't been practicing stugats?
Dan LeBatard
I didn't realize we had a substitute. Complicated legacy brought to you by headquarters. Toyota 441 Powerline Road.
Zazlow
Second down to nine.
Chris Cody
This is the Don Levatar show with the stugats.
Dan LeBatard
Domino. What are the games that we are playing and which team would you like out there first? Mike doesn't like his teammates. Tony seems overconfident. Which game are we playing? First domino.
Domino
All right, first AGI to see who is active mode is going to be who can collad the best Cuban coffee with the best espumita and pass the taste test by our very own Frankie over here. Who is the best Cuban coffee maker here in the studio? All right, so first up, representing team 954 and 786, we have Jeremy and Trista with the first challenge.
Tony
All right.
Dan LeBatard
All right. So you guys definitely know how to do. And, yes, Jeremy has no idea.
Zazlow
Exposure station Dan,
Tony
if you like, peen.
Domino
Yeah, no, it was latte station.
Zazlow
Jeremy would have had it a little nice lavender latte.
Dan LeBatard
Look, this is. I don't know if it's the opposite of pina colada, but it's. It's very far from whatever it is.
Domino
This is cafe.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah. This is what ruined Trey Wingo's career.
Chris Cody
Frankie's being very brave here.
Zazlow
Yeah, he is.
Domino
Please note that this Cuban bread you see here is the baton that will be passed throughout the relay race.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, that's nice. Okay, That was sexual harassment in Spanish.
Chris Cody
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Dan LeBatard
She reacted by looking at him funny, and she should have because he claimed to have a loaf of Cuban bread in his tights.
Tony
Hard loaf.
Zazlow
Yeah.
Chris Cody
You wait a day, and it's harder than you in third period in 11th grade.
Dan LeBatard
That's actually two days old.
Domino
It's pretty hard.
Dan LeBatard
All right, so forgive me, Domino, for not understanding. Is this a speed. Is this a speed relay? Do they have to hurry up and do this? Like, why is a baton being passed? How is the game being played?
Domino
This is quality. Quality of the coffee. This is a taste test they have to pass. Frankie will anoint who has made the best Cuban coffee, and he will say,
Dan LeBatard
okay, so let's go ahead and get started. And, Domino, you lead. Please help us for the audio audience. And you can watch all of this obviously on YouTube, but give us some play by play as we go here. Domino confused.
Domino
She doesn't know which device to grab. She doesn't know which way to turn the apparatus. Jeremy here, you can see that he has been surrounded. He is Cuban by association. He is putting water. All right. Properly.
Dan LeBatard
I think he's putting watermelon water in the cafeteria. This is dangerous. Those are flavored waters, Jeremy. You can't be just putting any old water in there.
Domino
Trista, I think, is playing Legos. Oh, no. She's got it. She's got the water. She's got the water.
Chris Cody
Now, we did mention that this is a relay, so there are other events quickly. Do you want to lay that out for the audience?
Domino
Yes. So there will be. After this, there will be a Latin soda blind test as well, and they will have to guess which soda they are tasting.
Chris Cody
Oh, that's a good event to have Zaz as my teammate in. Look at his body.
Domino
And then there is also a Chancleta toss. Think a game knockout. Think the game knockout. Basketball, but for Chancletas. And then there will be a question that they'll have to answer as well. And finish the pit bull quote.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, okay, so we've got four. This is four games we're playing. And one of them starts with Galata. And Mike Ryan's teammate mates don't have any. Have either of them ever had a colada? What is Ollie doing near the food with its ass? What is happening here? Why is that dog?
Domino
We're packing the coffee. All right, There's a bunch of pictures of Zazlow here on the countertop for some reason. All right, we're getting there. This is a pretty even race right now. There's a pretty even race. I think the dog may jump off the counter.
Chris Cody
Jesus.
Domino
It's okay. It's okay.
Chris Cody
I can't believe I'm on the same team as Jeremy.
Domino
It seems like Trista's taking the lead here.
Dan LeBatard
Okay. Yeah, she is moving a little bit faster than Jeremy is. Have either. Domino, would you do the. Do me the favor of asking both of these people if they've ever had a colada?
Domino
Have you guys ever had a colada before? Do you know what a colada is? Can you tell the. Can you tell the audience what is a colada?
Trista
It's Cuban coffee.
Chris Cody
Okay.
Dan LeBatard
Okay.
Domino
She knows. She knows. Jeremy.
Tony
Yeah, same.
Domino
Okay.
Chris Cody
Yes.
Domino
The answer is yes. All right, here we go. So the coffee is colando. I have some questions, though. All right, I need you guys to play a game. Play Along. We have to figure out here who said this. Pitbull or a coach. As the coffee is brewing as Jeremy's almost done. Did you press the on button on your.
Tony
Did I.
Chris Cody
Not yet.
Domino
Relax, all right. We're gonna play in my America. You're allowed to cross the state borders. That's the America I know. Jim Harbaugh or Pitbull?
Trista
Pitbull.
Tony
I mean, that has to be Jim Harbaugh.
Domino
Jim Harbaugh is the correct answer.
Chris Cody
All right. It's good for like a true.
Domino
A true Miami. And move here with Jeremy using the cafecito little 1 ounce cup to put sugar to make his espumida. And then Trista looks like she's trying to give diabetes to everybody.
Dan LeBatard
Buddy, that's a lot of sugar. Yeah, it's a lot of sugar, but it's going to be better with a lot of sugar.
Chris Cody
Hey, no helping.
Domino
We got the second question here. If you break down the word success, the word suck is in it. And when you're successful, you're giving people access to sucking excess. Jim Mora senior or Pitbull Chimora?
Tony
Pitbull.
Domino
Pitbull alley.
Chris Cody
Yes, Those. These should count as points. Jeremy's killing it.
Domino
Are we gauging? Are we gauging the. No, the sugar. Are we gauging the sugar? Have you guys put the appropriate amount of sugar here?
Mike Ryan
Eyeballing it.
Domino
All right, it's brewing. It's brewing. All right, number three here. He opened the can of worms and I closed it. Buddy Ryan or Pitbull?
Trista
Buddy Ryan.
Chris Cody
This is hard.
Tony
I think that's Buddy Ryan too.
Domino
Buddy Ryan is correct.
Dan LeBatard
How is Jeremy speaking Pitbull's language?
Mike Ryan
Who knew Jeremy would be good at.
Domino
Coffee is brewing. We're trying to see how the electricity here is working and see who it's favoring. All right, fourth quote. We didn't tackle well today, but we made up for it by not blocking John McKay or Pitbull.
Dan LeBatard
Wait a minute.
Tony
Not Pitbull.
Mike Ryan
Pitbull.
Dan LeBatard
Why would it be. Why would it be Pitbull? Could be. Why would it be Pitbull?
Trista
Pitbull.
Domino
Jeremy.
Tony
John McKay.
Domino
The answer is yes. Both.
Chris Cody
All right.
Dan LeBatard
What do you mean both?
Domino
It's both John McKay and Pitbull. Actually, as a matter of fact, pitbull. After the 2023 Week 4 loss versus the Buffalo Bills. I told you could be Pitbull. All right. And we have the final one.
Tony
Who?
Domino
No. Frankie. Frankie. She's gonna poison somebody here. Yeah, I think the whole cup is filled with. The whole cup is filled with sugar. It's okay. All right, here we go. The final one. Actually, you know, like your cooking shows, you know, we've prepped everything beforehand. We have coffee already made. You don't have to worry about the electricity here. What preparations? So you're going to finish the coffee with the final quote?
Tony
Them.
Domino
Who said it? Who said Dale Mario crystal ball or
Trista
pitbull Mario crystal ball.
Tony
Both.
Domino
The entire city of Miami. No. Yeah. It's on the wrist, not in the fingers. You have to move the wrist. Move. Circle. A circle. Motion. Figure 8.
Dan LeBatard
She's afraid of you and your tight pants and. And that hard loaf of.
Domino
Yeah, I'm afraid of my tight pants also. Oh, well, look, the electricity is working here. We have the coffee, but they're already at the espomita phase. Here we are. I think Trista's still figuring out the motion of the wrist action here for this pumita. Jeremy looks like he is an actual true Miami. No, there's no cheating. Guys, at your state stations, please. At your stations. Don't. Don't proceed to the next area.
Zazlow
Whip his ass.
Trista
This is bad.
Domino
And we have Ollie here still overlooking on top of the counter.
Tony
Dog, the water was too cold.
Domino
All right, now let's go ahead and pour a shot for Frankie over here.
Trista
Dog, it's not ready.
Domino
Oh, that is some fine looking. That is some fine looking at pumida. That is some fine looking at pumida.
Dan LeBatard
Domino, do you have any projections here? It seems like Jeremy's going to win this.
Domino
I think Jeremy Trista had taken over in the middle of the competition. And then now it looks like Jeremy's taking the lead. And it looks like his espumida is pretty fine. He's being gentle with his stir chef like. All right, let's pour it up. We have our ounces shot glasses here. Frankie. Suspicious for those that may.
Dan LeBatard
Frankie is. Is brave. Let's see. Frankie, you give it a 1 to 10 here on how good this is. Go ahead. This is Jeremy's.
Domino
He's kind of nervous.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah, he should be. They're amateurs.
Domino
He consumed the whole. The whole shot. The baton. The baton has passed.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, wow. Wait. Oh, wait. He's got a hand together. All right. But he's got a trace. Yeah. Okay, let's see here. But Jeremy gets to go here. Trista seems to be leaking confidence. She does not.
Domino
I think she's no nervous because of my tights.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah, she. She seems to be in a state of disrepair. This has got a lot of sugar in it. Frankie, you tell Us. Whose is better here? Mike is optimistic because he. He's very happy with what Jeremy did there. Oh, he spit it out, all right. But he.
Domino
But he tasted it. Tasted it.
Dan LeBatard
You keep going.
Domino
Pass the baton. Pass the baton.
Dan LeBatard
She gets the baton.
Domino
She gets the baton, but she can't get married is what Frankie's saying.
Dan LeBatard
Okay, that is no good. He spit it out. And now we. We move the Cuban bread over into another obstacle course where Domino is shuffling into position. Way too much navel, way too much tight pants, Way too much discomfort. Every I fe. I see people scurrying in the room away from Domino's pants, his tights. What Domino. So what's the next game we're going to here?
Domino
So right now, they are consuming five different Latin sodas.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, wow. So this is good here. All right, so this game here, I'm not going to tell people what any these things are, but let's see how we play this. Explain to us how we're gonna do this taste test, Domino.
Domino
So right now, Cody just had consumed his first soda, and he's going to guess what he consumed. So he has five cans that he's tasting and the five cans behind him, and he's going to place what he's consuming. Cody, what was that first one you think you taste?
Zazlow
Apple.
Tony
Tastes like apple.
Domino
That one, the first one tastes like what? Apple, apple, masana.
Dan LeBatard
Okay, so. But Zaz doesn't have any idea what he's tasting here. He is a soda drinker's body, but he doesn't. He's not tried any of these things. He's not gonna like any of them. Them.
Mike Ryan
That's the problem here. It's.
Zazlow
It's.
Mike Ryan
It's totally a guessing game for me. I. I don't know soda well, but
Dan LeBatard
these sodas wouldn't be sodas. You'd know anyway, so you've just got to give us.
Mike Ryan
How do you know that? You're stereotyping me.
Domino
Zaz, have you ever been to a ventanida?
Mike Ryan
Yes.
Domino
You should definitely have had these at your nearest ventanida.
Tony
I'm just guessing.
Domino
What are we tasting? What are we tasting? Give me some tasty notes. Give the people at home some taste.
Tony
It's like fruity. I can't tell what fruit the first one tastes like. Apple. I'm just guessing on the rest. I have no idea what I'm drinking.
Domino
All right, we're on to the fourth soda. Cody here. It seems like Zazzle is going on to the fourth soda as well.
Dan LeBatard
Zaz is not gonna like My third. But
Domino
what are we tasting?
Mike Ryan
I'm giving that a go.
Domino
All right, here's the guesses here. The first guesses. Carmen over here. The lovely Carmen is going to tell.
Dan LeBatard
None of them are right.
Tony
None.
Chris Cody
Oh, no.
Domino
How about Cody over here?
Zazlow
Me?
Dan LeBatard
You guys are terrible at this one, right?
Domino
Only one right.
Dan LeBatard
10 between.
Domino
Has zero right between the two of them.
Chris Cody
Come on. Says you got. Shuffle them up.
Dan LeBatard
One out of ten, right?
Zazlow
Dan, you got a guy from kitty and a guy from plantation trying to figure out which one hoopina is.
Chris Cody
Give me a break.
Dan LeBatard
Is a great word. It's got a pineapple on the COVID guys. Pineapple. You didn't taste the pineapple in the four in the hoopina, right?
Mike Ryan
Four, right.
Domino
Four right. We have four. Cody went from one to four correct. Zazlo still has zero correct. Cody Anthony. He has got it. Pass the baton.
Dan LeBatard
Cody knows.
Domino
Cody knows. He's been to event Z.
Dan LeBatard
Z. You got nothing right.
Domino
You got zero correct.
Tony
I gave Zaz such a lead.
Domino
One right.
Chris Cody
No, you didn't.
Domino
And we have the Chun toss happening right now. Tony is trying to complete the knockout round. Once he scores a chancleta, he will have to finish a pitbull lyric.
Dan LeBatard
Chris, Cody, you once again overachieved and surprised people. And now Tony is just spending the entire time trying to toss chancletas into a garbage can with a giant lead. Zaz, you gotta get Mike Ryan in the game. Tony has thrown 400 chancletas without making a single one. Mike's gonna get a chance. You gotta get the hard loaf of bread over to Mike. Zaz, let's go.
Mike Ryan
Keep yelling at me. That helps.
Domino
I think Zaz is sabotaging Mike on purpose.
Chris Cody
How many?
Domino
Three right. Zazlow stood three sodas correct.
Mike Ryan
This one's right.
Tony
I don't know how I got it right so fast.
Domino
As Tony proves that he's never shot a free throw.
Dan LeBatard
No, he. He came very close to making that.
Domino
And the baton is being passed fast.
Tony
That's as fast as Zaz moves right there.
Dan LeBatard
Okay, so Mike's in the game. Tony has. Tony has missed 400 CH. Mike Ryan is now trying to get in the game.
Domino
I would have been stiff. Arms are happening to grab the shankleta.
Tony
Oh, no.
Domino
Shoulder block.
Dan LeBatard
Domino. Can you please tell me what happens after this once?
Domino
I'm sorry. I just got hit by a chunkleta.
Dan LeBatard
Once one of them makes a chancleta, what ends up happening next?
Domino
They will have to finish the pitbull lyric that I provide. The first one to provide to finish The Lyric will win and have to go slam a double anyway on your. On your countertop.
Tony
This is chaos.
Dan LeBatard
So that is what's wind. What wins here at the end is a domino being slapped down after somebody has successfully. Oh, my God.
Domino
I came, I conquered. Or should I say I saw?
Chris Cody
I came, I conquered. Or should I say I conquered? I saw, I came. No, I. I conquered. I saw, I conquered, I came.
Dan LeBatard
Yes.
Chris Cody
Yeah.
Tony
Damn it, Tony.
Dan LeBatard
Domino. Slam the domino. That's it.
Domino
Okay, Tony, but the time is money. Only difference is I own it. Now let's stop. And I think. Mike. Oh, my.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah, Tony.
Chris Cody
He didn't do it on the right one. Mike,
Dan LeBatard
he didn't slam it on the right table. He's winded. What's the right table? Okay.
Domino
No, that's the wrong table.
Dan LeBatard
Why did he slap.
Domino
Only difference is I own it. Now let's stop.
Dan LeBatard
Is it a table out there? Why is there a loaf of bread on the floor? Close your eyes. Exhale.
Trista

Episode: Hour 1: "I Just Got Hit By A Chancleta" (feat. Domino)
Date: March 5, 2026
Location: Elser Hotel, Downtown Miami
This episode embodies the signature blend of irreverent sports analysis and Miami-centric chaos that defines the show. Broadcasting live from Downtown Miami, the crew dives into NBA trends—especially the resurgent Charlotte Hornets—while wrapping in local flavor through 305 Day celebrations, games, and a relay obstacle course featuring Cuban coffee, Latin sodas, and (of course) a relentless “chancleta” toss. The conversation weaves playfully between serious basketball discussion, outlandish Miami humor, playful in-studio competition, and rapid-fire pop-culture references.
Play-In Tournament Assessment
“There are 10 teams in the league...presently on a 44 game losing streak.” (04:01)
Charlotte Hornets’ Surging Season
“Bet the castle that Con Kanipple is your rookie of the year over Cooper Flag...” (07:12)
“So we can get guys like Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz. DeAndre...Or a number two pick like Alex Sarr. A number three pick like Scoot Henderson. Oh, it'd be so awesome to get one of those top picks...” (16:14)
Wemby and OKC as Playoff Wildcards
“There’s only one team in the sport...that actually obviously scares OKC and distorts them—Wemby’s team. Do you guys believe in the sample size?” (17:16)
“The thing about Wemby is he's like the middle linebacker of an NBA team...Everything changed...he can cover so much floor that even if they get cooked, he's there on the back end.” (18:20)
The Wide-Open NBA
“I love the association now...In the west, three teams got a shot. In the east, four, maybe five. And this is wide open. This is actually a really good thing.” (20:00)
“For that nowhere franchise...to be a team that all of a sudden is fun and smoking the last three defending champions...It hasn't happened in 60 years...” (14:08)
“Stat of the Day”: Con Knipple’s Shooting
“In my America, you're allowed to cross the state borders. That's the America I know. Jim Harbaugh or Pitbull?” (32:58)
“Dan, you got a guy from Kitty and a guy from Plantation trying to figure out which one hoopina is.” – Zazlow (40:47)
Domino: “I came, I conquered, or should I say I saw?”
Chris Cody: “I came, I conquered. Or should I say I conquered, I saw, I came.” (43:07–43:17)
| Timestamp | Segment | |-----------|---------| | 03:38–07:37 | NBA Play-In & Hornets’ Streak Debate | | 08:10–09:10 | Charlotte’s Young Core Analysis | | 14:08–15:47 | Charlotte’s Recent Dominance & Franchise History | | 17:00–20:22 | Wemby vs. OKC & NBA Parity Hot Takes | | 20:22–23:11 | Stat of the Day: Con Knipple’s Hot Shooting | | 28:30–37:09 | Relay Game Pt. 1: Colada Competition & Pitbull/Coach Trivia | | 39:02–41:17 | Relay Game Pt. 2: Latin Soda Blind Taste Test | | 41:22–43:47 | Relay Game Pt. 3: Chancleta Toss Finish-the-Lyric Showdown |
This episode is a quintessential blend of the show’s chaotic Miami energy, sharp NBA insights (especially the rise of the Hornets and deep-cut takes around Con Knipple), playful mockery, and inventive in-studio competition. It’s both a celebration of Miami’s culture (305 Day!) and a tour de force in the hybrid sports-variety-show style that only Le Batard and crew can pull off.
For more: All games and visual mayhem are available for viewing on the show’s YouTube channel. The baseball (and, apparently, more chaos) continues in Hour 2.
