And joining us today is 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.640 the voice of the Florida Panthers, Steve Goldstein, and also 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.840 the voice of your Miami Dolphins preseason broadcast. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:54.520 Steve. Welcome in. 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.520 It is awesome to be here, Travis. I love to 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.560 set up and thanks for having me so. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.880 We've had lots of osations prior to actually having in 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.160 the podcast here. But of course, the Panthers qualifying for 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.000 the Stanley Cup Finals is it finals or final? 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:12.519 It is final in hockey and it is finals in basketball. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.000 I'm not I mean, I feel like it should be 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.000 final because there's only one of them. It's not like, hey, 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.640 the Dolphins made Super Bowls fifty eight. It's the Dolphins 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.400 make Super Bowl fifty eight, so exactly. But in hockey 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.440 it's final. In the NBA it's finals, so they kind 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:25.880 of separate. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.360 I've heard it go back and forth on both to 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.920 figure who better to get an opinion on that or 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.920 I guess the actual official word on that than you. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.160 But you know, they've gone through this gauntlet of top 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.000 NHL teams and the Panthers were a one seed last year. 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.919 It's funny how that works out. Panthers and' heat both 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.160 one seed and they don't make it to the finals 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.360 or final, and now they're the eight seed and they 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.240 push right through the playoffs. But the call that I 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.440 wanted to talk to you about was the Boston winner 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.600 in that final game, because I was the series that 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.040 was back and forth. Weren't sure if they're going to 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.720 pull it off or not. They do and you make 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.959 that great call. And so I was thinking about as 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.120 you go into an overtime period, knowing that we are 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.080 it can be in a flash, right. Hockey's unique that way. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.240 Are you planning out that call ahead of time. How 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.239 what's your process going into a big overtime game. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.320 You know, I am not because last year Cardi Verhagen 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.480 won that series in Washington and the Panthers hadn't won 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.560 a playoff series in twenty six years. So I didn't 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.640 have anything planned. And I guess what came out is 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.720 they did it. They did it because you know, like 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.200 everybody else, you kind of can't believe they actually did it. 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.760 So it was the same kind of thing when you 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.280 know Montor scored with fifty seconds left in Game seven, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.280 and I think I said he did it, and no, 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:31.840 I didn't come out with the only thing I have 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.679 to say, as you know, is let's go home, baby, 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.680 because people actually get mad if I don't say it. 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.720 At this point, you know, Matthew Kuchuk loves Kachuck kuching, 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.040 but I can't use that every time. But I didn't 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.760 say Hoby Doobe do in some of the goals he 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.840 would come to me. My family wants to know why 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.320 I didn't just say I'm like, whoy, I can't say 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.840 it every time you score thirty goals a year, so 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.440 you know, but it kind of takes on its life 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.120 of its own trap. It's it's awesome, But no, I 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.600 really didn't have that planned. And you know, that's just 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.040 what I was thinking, is they're all celebrating like the 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.960 Panthers have shocked the world. A funny story, I could 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.200 say now because Kyle Dubis, unfortunately he has now been 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.480 fired as Maple leafs GM. After the Panthers beat him, 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.880 he came up to me here in South Florida game one. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:12.600 You know, I know him a little, you know, like 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.280 you see executives in what we do and you kind 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.040 of nod say, oh, you know, it's not like I'm 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.400 friends with us the family, you know, yeah, And he said, hey, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.440 great call in game seven. I think it was really 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.400 because he was happy that Boston. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.920 Was eliminated, not because I made it. He's thinking, we 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.800 got maybe a cushier landing here in the second round. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.400 It wouldn't behold not so much. Not so fast, my friend, 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.640 because the Panther's rolling right through. But so you mentioned 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.960 let's go home, baby, And I tell you all the time, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.400 like I'm trying to get it more into hockey. You 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:39.840 just didn't grow up around it. I grew upround the 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.520 three other sports. So you've helped introduce me into that. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.120 You give me some tickets some games, So thank you 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.160 for that. We love going out there to sunrise. It's 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.719 a different environment than South Florida's other major sports teams 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.880 down here. But let's go home, baby, I don't know 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.279 the origin of that. Can you kind of educate our 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:53.840 fans there? 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.960 So back in I think it was twenty fourteen, the 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.839 Panthers played the longest shootout ever. It went twenty rounds 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.120 against Washington, and I guess when Nick Bukes, dad scored 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.839 to win it, I said, let's wrap it up and 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.960 go home. Okay. Then about a month later they had 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.719 a shootout against Pittsburgh. It was ROBERTA. Luongo against Marc 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.279 Andre Fleury, a couple of Hall of Fame goalies, no 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.839 goals until the seventh round. The Panthers scored and win it, 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.480 and I guess I said, let's go home, baby. I 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:18.760 don't know. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:19.400 You don't even know. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.400 The best part of it is two days later, it 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.560 is like in December. Two days later, I'm at a 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.200 Dolphin's game the press box and Dave Hyde is there 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.039 from the sun sette And although Dave, he's been around 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.359 a long time, written a lot of Dolphins books, and 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.640 he says, hey, how'd you come up with that call? 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.520 And I go, what are you talking about? And he said, well, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.400 a few weeks ago you said let's go home, and 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.080 then two nights ago when they won that shootout, you 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.839 said let's go home, baby, And I go I did, 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.760 and he's like, yeah, I got it, Dave. I didn't 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.599 know that. I went back and watched it and I said, 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.480 you know what, I think I'm going to use that 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.160 if they scored in overtime or in a shootout. And 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.360 that's honestly, I had no idea. I even said it twice, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.080 and if it wasn't for him, it never would have 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:57.560 become a thing. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.599 And no, it's in your contract at this point that 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.400 you have to say it after every single game winning 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.839 goal in overtime. That's awesome and that's that's how the 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.360 podcast some of my favorite things I do is the 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.400 repeated bits that come up over and over again. Like 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.760 my tagline to close the podcast every time is the same. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.599 So to me, that's what makes like kind of that 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.360 connection between you and your fan base a little bit, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:13.839 don't you agree? 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.520 Yeah? I agree with you. You know, when people really 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.719 like it and the little calls for players. It's funny 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.200 when they traded for Kachuck at the press comments, you know, 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.159 his dad is Keith Kachuck, obviously great hockey player and great, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:28.000 wonderful family, are likable people, and he said, hey, my dad, 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.680 you know, the pressure's on. My dad's gonna want to 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.960 know what your goal call is for me. So immediately 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.120 I start, you know, down there at the TV station 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.400 at CBS Miami, and I'm like, hey, guys, I need 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.360 a Kachuck call. What you think And I guess it was, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.440 you know, Kachuck Kuching came up and I used it 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.240 an Opening night and it was like, he's like, I 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.320 like that, I just get that start. I'm like, you're in. 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:45.720 That's it. 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:46.800 That's in the rollodex forever. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.320 Now you got to use every single time he gets 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.000 a goal, finds the back of the That's awesome. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:51.320 I love that stuff so much. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.000 So we talked a little bit about how the Panthers 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.480 have gone through this gauntlet of you know, Bruins, Maple 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.599 Leaves and now the Carolina Hurricanes, and last year facing 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.279 the Tampa Bay Lightning, who were kind of the on 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:01.800 the side of the Panthers for a couple of years 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.839 there and even with the one seed and they they 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.400 won the President's Trophy last year, right, so really impressive season, 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:09.680 but it didn't work out the way they wanted to 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:10.360 the playoffs. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.800 So I'm curious, like, as those two years. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.400 Kind of you know, played out, and now you have 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.880 this underdog story and the rallying cry the eight seed 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.880 don't gave us a chance, how do you kind of 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.080 compartmentalize how those two years played out where maybe the 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.600 regular season was not as much fun, but now the 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.720 postseason is maximum fun compared to last year where maybe 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.040 you had your heart taken out a little bit. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.960 Well, let's say the regular season, I want to say, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.560 not as much fun. This year it really wasn't fun 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.200 at all, right, I mean it was a grind. They 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.960 never lost more until March, never lost more than three 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.800 in a row. They never won more than three in 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.880 a row. You know, Barkoff was sick and hurt, and 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.280 Bennett was hurt, and Veabrovsky was injured, and then sick 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.600 and up comes Alex Lyon and Spencer Night unfortunately goes out, 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.559 and it was on and on, but it was wild. 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.400 But at the end it was really fun, you know. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.880 I think it's a maturation process. You know, Like for example, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.240 you know, next January, when the Dolphins make the playoffs 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.000 and they go to Buffalo to Kansas City, It's not 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.960 gonna be Holy Cow, We're going to Buffalo. It's like 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.880 we were there last year. You know, a couple of breaks, 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.400 we win that game. So I think the Panther, as 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.320 much as fans may not want to hear at Travis, 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.679 I think the Panthers learned a ton from the Tampa 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.160 Bay Lightning that it can't be all offense, what it 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.800 takes to win. Paul Maurice one of his sayings, eighty 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.280 five percent of the game is played within three feet 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.160 of the boards. You gotta grind it out. It's supposed 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.240 to be hard, and I think they learned that, you know, 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:35.839 and bringing in a guy like Ku Chuck kind of 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.640 changed the entire culture. Know I look at it, and 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.439 I know we're gonna do something later. But I kind 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.240 of looked at Chuck a little bit like Tyreek Hill 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:43.880 and you were out there, you know, the second Tyreek 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.800 hit that field in those offseason, WHOA changes everything the whole. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:49.880 I mean, first of all, I couldn't believe how hard 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.040 Tyreek Hill practices. I'm like, dude, you got to get 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.880 through seventeen plus three or four more to win the hole, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.600 to win the Super Bowl. Just the whole level of everybody, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.320 just and Matthew Kuchuck has kind of done that with 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.680 that swagger for this team. So, you know, to answer 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.200 your question, it was, you know, they make it a 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.000 few years ago, losing the first round, great series against Tampa, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.839 win a series last year for the first time, then 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.320 heard learn the hard lesson against Tampa. You know, they 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.840 were blocking shots and Steven Stampcos is crawling off the ice, 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.719 and I'm sure the Panthers are looking like, Okay, that's 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.400 what it takes. And now this year it's amazing what 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.000 they've done beating the three teams they've beaten. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.880 It's funny you kind of have two points so that 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.640 Mike McDaniel loves to make all the time. Won the 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.559 big games they played in December last year that you know, 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.160 the Buffalo game that they went on the road and 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.400 damn near pulled out. They're late on that Saturday night 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.040 in the snow, and then the Chargers and Niers games, those. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.280 Big tests, and you get to the playoffs, you go 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:40.240 back to Buffalo. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.240 And you have another big game where you you know, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.880 you compete to the very end despite being very banged 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.079 up on that roster, just like the Panthers were throughout 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.040 the course of the season. And then also Tyreek and 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.360 coaches talked about like not that we needed to learn 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.120 how to practice, but he taught us the next level 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.000 of how to practice. And it certainly shows. You talk 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.719 about the the ota is like the way he was 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:56.880 running those go routes. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.959 Last year unbelievable. I was getting gashes like Jo he's great, 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.080 you know, great player, but you figure, you know, a 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.599 receiver and byther his legs are like the size of 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.600 our body. It's amazing. But you figure, Okay, he's showing 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.840 up one o'clock Sunday. You know he doesn't need to 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.040 do all that. And you know, you know, it was 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.400 kind of like that is sergeb Rowski, the Panthers. Guy's 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.520 making ten million bucks, he's won two beds. Knows he's 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.920 been in the league, you know, thirteen fourteen years, eleven 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.760 thirty practice, eleven h five. I walk in with the 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.200 nice coffee that you brought me today. Who's on the 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.600 ice Sergei Ros He's already out there working. So the 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.840 great ones are not only great because they're talented. It's 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:35.679 the work that's the work. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.280 It's the Kobe Bryant right like four am, he's in 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.760 the gym, already getting stuff done before practice. So you 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.800 talked about a little bit of a just matchmaking there. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.600 We'll do that here in a second, talking about some 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.640 Panthers and Dolphins and how those guys relate to each other. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.040 But one last Panthers question for you here. You got 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.800 a Stanley Cup final to preview here, stars are Knights. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.079 We don't know who it'll be yet. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.120 This podcast comes out on Friday, so we won't have 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.160 an answer by that. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:56.800 By the time we. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.439 Might have we might have an answer as your list. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.319 We don't know, but it looks like Vegas know as 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.480 many games it's gonna be with the big lead. You know, 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.720 it's another team that's just playoff tested. They've been in 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.000 the league six years, Travis. They've made the conference final 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.679 four times and made the Cup Final once in their 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:16.240 first year. Very big, strong defense, So the Panther's gonna 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.960 have to battle to get to the front of the net. 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.560 But you know there's really no opponent that you look 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.440 at as they beat the best team, they beat the 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.400 second best team, and they beat the fourth best team, 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.000 and the last two rounds they do it in five 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.880 and four games. They've won eleven out of twelve games 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.960 like the stuff they're doing six and zeroe overtime eight 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.720 in a row on the road. So Vegas is a 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.960 great team. They're hot. But right now, how do you 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.560 pick against Barkoff, Kachuck and Bbrovski. I mean, these three 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.960 guys have you know, And it's interesting against Carolina, you 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:48.960 know a lot of toy You know, the Panthers' best 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.480 players played their best. Well, the Panthers' best players are 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.280 better than Carolina's best players. And I kind of believe 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.120 that in this upcoming series as well, that the top 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.320 few guys, if you just started a team and you 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.240 had like a fantasy draft of both rosters, the first 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.080 two or three guys are. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.080 Probably gonna be Panthers for a couple of guys. That's interesting. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.800 That's that's how you win big games, right, big time players, 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.680 when big time games and big time moments or however 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.880 the saying goes. So it certainly plays out that way, 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.640 and that's that kind of is a good transition here 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.959 into talking about some Dolphins talk here because Steve is, 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.079 of course the voice of the Dolphins on CBS four 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.200 for the preseason broadcast, and we love having you on there, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.000 and you and JT crush the last night, I got 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.199 a new team in the booth this year, you guys 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:26.640 gonna do another great job with that. 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.840 But you know who better to talk to you about 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:29.640 the relationship here. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.640 Between the Dolphins and the Panthers, because you know, we 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.160 see coach McDaniel out there and he's at every game. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.080 I'm surprised I don't see the Marlins games and you 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.320 know Miami inter games now as well, because he's out there, 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.199 you know, waving the flags of the heat game and 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:41.719 hitting the drama at the Panthers game. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:42.959 What'd you what did you give us? Great for the 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:43.960 pregame drum? 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.640 By the way, well, the first like the start and 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.120 then the stop. It's just so mcdai and you know, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.280 a little you know, a little shimmy or whatever he 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.800 did there. He's got he's just such a cool dude, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.480 absolute and he had a great time that. I was 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.280 talking to him a little bit before and you know, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.800 about Actually he I was wearing the three P suit 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.679 and Travis, this is the ultimate forget the football. If 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.000 Mike McDaniel compliments you on what you're wearing, yes, you 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.880 hit the jacket. I'm like, really, coach, it's enough swag 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.560 for you. He's like, I give it to you. So 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.080 that made my night. Forget about the win, forget about 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.079 the Kuchuck go with four seconds left. That made my night. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.240 That's incredible. He got the watch game going and everything. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.080 He's he's on top of the swag down here in 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.520 South Florida. But you know, he's just one of several 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.199 guys that goes to the games and has that relationship 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.720 here with all the teams here in South Florida. And 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.400 I love seeing the support. I think it's really cool 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.800 the whole community gets behind every single team. So I 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.840 just want to kind of hear your perspective on the 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.760 guys coming to the games and the relationship between the 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.120 Dolphins and Panthers that seems to really be going to 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:37.959 the next level this year. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.760 Well, first of all, I think we're just an underrated 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.360 sports market. I think people like dumping on us, and 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.079 you know, to heck with those people, Yeah, to say 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.280 it lightly and you know, you know, most of it, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.560 like the Panthers in the heat. You know, dolphins are generational. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.719 You know, dolphins we have you know, granddads that were 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.760 at the ob back in the day, remember gre Seeing 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.440 Zonk and you know Paul Warfield. Thing. You have the 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.240 dads that you know in the Marino era and then 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.079 the kids that have come along in the last twenty years. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:07.760 And now we're big fans, you know, the heat and 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.600 Panthers don't really have that. So the heat since Riley 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.120 walked in, they've been winning since nineteen ninety six, twenty 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.840 five years, making the playoffs, reaching finals. I mean, the 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.480 superstars and the team and the Panthers the last three 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.560 years have cultivated a lot of young fans and this 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.920 will do that. So I just love the fact that 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.840 all the teams, you know, you know, look, obviously there's 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:31.080 some competition. You know, teams battle for ticket sales, sponsorship, 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.920 so there's some competition. But I think it's great for 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.520 the community and the sports community and everybody involved when 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.080 the teams are successful. And I don't know if this 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.840 is true or not, Traut, but my personal theory is 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:48.440 that there's some kind of subconscious pressure when other teams win. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.840 I think other teams feel like, Okay, we got to 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.360 step it up with these guys winning. But it's awesome. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.880 You know. Social media has helped with this. When one 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.600 team is going, everybody's wishing luck to the other team. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.480 And you know, the pant First off, Mike White, new 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.920 backup quarterback, is a huge Panther fan. He is. He 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.720 grew up here in South Florida, went to university school 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.320 where he moster is a big hockey fan, and he's 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.720 been coming to games for years. He's there all the time. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.680 And know durham smythe comes to a lot of games. 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.880 H new offensive lineman Dan Feenie the form of Jet. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.080 He's a big fan. So it's awesome. I love when 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.160 I see those guys. You know, two has been at games. 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.240 I love when I see those guys at Panther games. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:27.040 I think it's awesome. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.480 Two of the drum too, right, he was doing the 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.440 pregame once once upon a time back in the season. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.280 Right, Yeah, he did as well. And a lot of 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.240 the Panthers go to Dolphin games. I mean, you know 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.760 they get the one of the end zone suites right 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.200 in the field. Yeah, yeah, so a lot of them 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:38.640 do that too. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.760 Those guys in Brooks kept got there, yeah, yelling his 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.400 Brooks Yes, yes. 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:45.560 So it's it's cool to see man. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.200 Then, Like we talked about this before he started doing 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.080 the podcast here a little bit. And Chris Greer's brother 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.800 obviously GM of the San Jose Sharks, and you told 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.000 me that he wants to talk more about hockey than 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.520 football when he sees you only only hockey. 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.120 I love Chris Crear as GM has zero interesting talk 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.160 about football, which don't blame him, but he talks about 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.040 footballs right now. The great story about Chris Greer is 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:09.040 Chris was a goalie until he was about sixteen years old. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.160 So I think when I saw him, what was it 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:12.920 like a month ago here at camp. We came out 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.480
