Hello, Miami Dolphins fans. How are you today? And thank you for listening to the Dolphins Talk.com podcast on this Monday, March of 23rd. I'm your host, Michael Leva, joined by our old friend of the podcast, Alan Papparck from the Miami Dolphins on ASI, the Alldolphins Collective podcast. Al, you're everywhere. You're everywhere, man. Can't get enough for you. How are you doing today?

I'm doing all right. How you doing? I'm doing okay. And I believe, let me be the first, because I know it's this week in a couple days to wish you a happy early birthday. Happy birthday, Alan.
