With Tobin out, it's a Marcos-led ride from start to finish, and things go off the rails immediately in the best way possible. We kick things off with Hall of Fame Game hype, Eric Allen's distractingly beautiful eyes, and a deep philosophical debate: should the Marlins hovering around .500 actually be celebrated? Marcos brings the chaos with a Day to Day segment, revealing today's National Days and celebrity birthdays — which somehow unlocks a wild club story from Leroy's past involving Wesley Snipes. Then, Hour Tua begins, and so does the madness. Leroy recounts his break saga involving eggs, bacon, and a shirt that overstayed its welcome. The crew attempts (and fails) to prepare him for British culture ahead of his trip. Things go completely sideways as we trade embarrassing bathroom stories, analyze the Dolphins' defense, and — yes — even talk nose hairs. Sports? Don't worry, we eventually circle back with the Miami Heat's shocking connection to the biggest memorabilia heist in sports history. Hour 3 keeps the criminal theme going as we unpack Gilbert Arenas allegedly running a casino out of his house (with his name literally on the tables), and Marcus Morris getting called out for owing over $200K to a casino. Somehow, we pivot into a debate on moms, dads, and which zodiac signs are truly insufferable. We round it out with a skeptical round of Goosies or No Goosies, as a Miami Hurricanes recruit's superhuman strength fails to impress. Finally, in Hour 4, we hit headlines and wrap up with the return of “Why You Always Lyin? – Brittney Edition.” She tries to fool the crew with three wild statements: an obsession with 50 Cent, bad driving habits, or a celebrity run-in. Only one is true — and you won't believe which it is.

With Tobin out, it's another Marcos-led takeover, and we dive right in as we gear up for tonight's Hall of Fame Game. Marcos runs through this year's Hall of Fame inductees — though let's be honest, all anyone can talk about are Eric Allen's mesmerizing eyes. We shift gears to the Marlins: hovering near the .500 mark — is that something to celebrate, or just a step in the right direction? Then it's time for a classic Marcos segment: Day to Day, where we break down today's National Days and famous birthdays. Things take a wild turn when Leroy shares a traumatic (and hilarious) flashback involving none other than Wesley Snipes at the club back in the day!

Today's show is packed with sports talk, laughs, and plenty of spirited debate. With Tobin out for a few days, Marcos takes the reins as host and kicks things off by diving into the latest headlines. We discuss Minkah Fitzpatrick's return to Miami and react to Dolphins training camp news, including the concerning knee injury to Kader Kohou. Are the Dolphins cursed this season? We also break down Travis Hunter's bold claim to unicorn status — is he truly the real deal, or is that a bit premature? The conversation then shifts to Hour Tua, where we cover everything Dolphins — from Jaylen Waddle's evolving role on Aux to standout performers and injury updates. Brittney and Leroy tackle a hot topic: why contact injuries are becoming so common in sports today. Marcos adds some humor by exploring today's National Days, sparking a lively debate about a very serious question: does cake really belong in cheesecake? Spoiler: snitches still get stitches. Later, Marcos and Leroy analyze the impact of Kohou's injury on the Dolphins' defense, debating whether the team should prioritize adding depth to the secondary or bolster their pass rush. Leroy delivers a bold take about wide receivers: just because you play the position doesn't mean you can catch — and the crew wonders if this might finally be Julian Hill's breakout year. College football also gets attention as we highlight standout players from the Miami Hurricanes and speculate on Carson Beck's chances of success in South Florida. To cap it all off, we get to know our substitute producer Brittney in a special edition of Why You Always Lyin? She shares three unbelievable stories — but only one is true. The crew tries to guess: Did Brittney really go to high school with Zion Williamson, lose a tooth to a shuffleboard puck, or has she never played a competitive sport? Finally, the show wraps with an exciting round of Sports Family Feud, hosted by our game show king Frogboy. The competition heats up over quirky topics like professional birds and celebrity signatures, leading to some surprisingly intense fun.

Hour Tua is packed with all things Dolphins! We dive into the latest stories coming out of training camp, including updates on Jaylen Waddle's spot on Aux, notable injuries, standout performers, and more. Why are contact injuries becoming so common in today's sports? Brittney and Leroy share their takes on what's behind the trend. Marcos brings the laughs with a look at today's National Days, and things get heated when the team debates a serious question: Does cake really belong in cheesecake? Spoiler alert—snitches still get stitches.

That Solo Life, Episode 294: National Days and Awareness Months and How to Manage in 2025   Summary: This podcast episode discusses the abundance of "national days" and how PR professionals and marketers should approach aligning their client initiatives with these events. The key points are: There is an overwhelming number of these "national days" which can become diluted and ignored by the public. These days can be divided into two categories: awareness/educational campaigns vs. marketing-driven events. For awareness months/days related to important causes, it can make sense to align content and messaging if it's relevant to the client's business. However, marketers should be cautious about aligning with more frivolous "national days" just for the sake of participation. The most important factor is whether the client's news, announcement, or content is truly newsworthy and valuable, regardless of whether it aligns with a designated national day or month. Forcing an announcement to fit a particular calendar event is not advised. PR professionals should set clear expectations with clients about which national days/months are worth aligning with versus when it may be better to simply focus on the strength of the news itself. In This Episode Are you overwhelmed by the never-ending list of national days, weeks, and months? From National Hot Dog Day to Domestic Violence Awareness Month, it feels like every moment in the calendar is claimed by something. But does your brand have to jump on every single one?  In today's episode, co-hosts Karen Swim, APR (Solo PR Pro) and Michelle Kane (Voice Matters) discuss how to strategically decide which awareness and marketing campaigns to align with (and when to pass). They share practical advice for PR pros, marketers, and business owners on how to cut through the clutter while staying authentic to your brand. What We Discuss in This Episode: The evolution of National Days and how their popularity has changed over time.  The difference between awareness campaigns that educate (e.g., Autism Awareness Month) versus marketing-driven moments (e.g., National Ice Cream Day).  Why staying true to your brand's mission is key when deciding whether to participate.  Evaluating client expectations and helping them decide if their campaigns align with specific days or months.  How doing something outside of a marketing or awareness month can sometimes help your message stand out.  Tips for advising clients on when their big news deserves attention at the right time.  Key Takeaways: Not every campaign is necessary. Assess whether a national day or awareness month is relevant and meaningful to your brand or clients before joining in.  Awareness vs. gimmicks: Distinguish between educational campaigns that offer real value and marketing "fun" that may not add much.  Timing is everything. Great news is great news, no matter what day you share it. Don't feel tied to these campaigns if they don't serve your goals.  Listener Reminder: We're not throwing shade at National Donut Day (a very worthwhile occasion, honestly!), but don't feel obligated to latch on to every trendy day in the calendar. Use these moments as tools—but only when they make sense for your brand!  Mentioned in This Episode: How to align content with National Days effectively without overwhelming your brand strategy.  Examples of when leveraging awareness months like Domestic Violence Awareness Month can reinforce your brand's values.  Special Invite: If you found value in today's conversation, we'd love for you to share this episode with your network! Whether via audio or on YouTube (yes, you can see our fabulous faces there too!), your support helps us bring more tips to PR and marketing pros like you. And don't forget to leave us a rating or review—we can handle it
