1:12
He's got a he's got a screaming kid in the back.
1:16
His kid sounds like he wants to RIP somebody's head off.
1:19
And you know, Johnny's hair is all fluffed around.
1:22
You know, he's like, he's just hanging out and enjoying the old
1:27
quaff. As we all say, he definitely has
1:30
a quaff. But yeah, so we call this Let's
1:33
parlay. It's time for Les Parlay.
1:47
So do we have Wes? Coming in I texted him to come
1:49
back and he said he would have been ready in 5 minutes but I
1:52
don't know, I guess he's still trying to deal with this kid.
1:54
All right, so we got 2P Bears, so we'll go with Reno Johnny
1:59
first. We'll get his top 4.
2:01
As everybody knows, it's very simple.
2:03
He's going to give you his top three picks for the week or the
2:07
weekend and give you his fourth, which will be a parlay for you
2:11
guys. Are you ready, Reno?
2:14
Yeah, we ready. Couple things here.
2:16
Got to get the kid ready. He's he's out there wrestling
2:18
mom, so I'm going to tap her in here in a little bit.
2:21
He's about to start playing soccer.
2:23
So we got soccer, basketball, baseball.
2:25
Football. We got to get him.
2:27
Ready. You know, he's gonna be my kid.
2:29
He's gonna be my kid. We don't have to play some
2:31
sports. So yeah, look, I, I had, I think
2:35
I have a redemption coming because I think last week I was
2:37
off my game. Let's just put it this way.
2:40
I'm going to take a game that already started and y'all know
2:43
me, I, I'm not lying about it. I'm on the Knights.
2:45
I know they're up one. Oh, I think the Knights have
2:47
been the better team. But one thing about this game is
2:50
if you look at Game 3 when they went to Anaheim, they were
2:54
favored by -150 they lose that game and now you're looking at
2:58
on the road, they're going to be a modest 110.
3:00
So you're getting a bunch of value.
3:02
But the Knights are the better team.
3:03
They're doing it a little differently this year.
3:05
It's not their defense or defense is actually kind of
3:07
shaky. Their goaltending is not
3:09
something I want to get behind. But their offense is is
3:11
phenomenal. I think they're one of the
3:12
better offenses in in the NHLI. Think the Anaheim Ducks are
3:15
playing a little bit above their league.
3:17
I like them to win this game and move on.
3:20
I do think the Knights will get to the Stanley Cup Finals
3:24
whether they win or not since as to be seen, but I do think they
3:28
get to the to the the Western Cup finals.
3:30
Why I I like them to win tonight. close it out tonight on
3:33
the road. All right, Wes, give us your
3:35
number one. I'm.
3:38
Gonna layoff of tonight's game because Anaheim is already down
3:42
by 1. But I, I did like that going in,
3:45
but I'd be foolish. I'd be foolish to take it now
3:47
while they're down. So I'm gonna I'm gonna so I'm
3:50
going to I'm just going to go with both the NBA games for
3:53
tomorrow. The first one the the first one
3:58
I'm going to do tomorrow is I like San Antonio to close this
4:01
thing out. I, I, it's Wendy came out
4:06
possessed last night after the elbow after.
4:10
I mean, he's, we all know his skill set is like something
4:14
we've never seen for his size. But just looking at the way that
4:18
he came out last night and the way that they just jumped right
4:21
after them, I, I don't see Minnesota doing anything.
4:26
But what scares me here is the the line hasn't moved and 75% of
4:32
the tickets are on San Antonio. But the odd thing is I went back
4:38
and looked most of the San Antonio games where their
4:41
favorites by like more than two or three.
4:43
That is the case. They the line doesn't move
4:46
because big money just likes to fade them.
4:51
They're not a very deep team. That's my only knock on them.
4:56
If you believe in conspiracy, if you believe that the NBA is
5:00
thirsty for a face, then you probably would.
5:02
You'd probably put San Antonio in the Finals and have them
5:05
taken out. OK, C that that would probably
5:07
be the story that makes the most sense.
5:09
But as far as tomorrow night goes, I'm going to lay the four
5:11
and a half. I like the way that Dear and Fox
5:13
has been contributing these last 2-3 games and I think this team
5:17
just picked up a little bit of experience with Wenby getting
5:21
thrown out early the other night.
5:23
All right, Reno, give us your number 2.
5:26
Can't argue with anything, W said.
5:27
I do think the Spurs are the better team.
5:29
I think the one knock with their with their depth is Minnesota's
5:33
even less deep. I think that's why they're,
5:35
that's why they. Can't take you seriously on that
5:37
take because you're a Spurs fan, we all know that.
5:40
Yeah, but I've made money betting against the Spurs.
5:43
So look, I've, I've fanned the Spurs a lot this year and I've
5:48
actually had good spots. I think when you look at depth,
5:50
Minnesota's where they struggle. I'm going to take this game in a
5:54
different way. I'm take the over the overs hit
5:56
every game but the first game when it was 206 points, other
5:59
than that game thread thing land on 2/17, it was 216 1/2.
6:03
So that's overs been right around that number every single
6:06
time. And ultimately it comes down to
6:09
a pace. And I think ultimately what you,
6:12
what I think is surprising is you see the Spurs not slowing it
6:15
down. They are pushing that pace,
6:17
which is probably not the best thing for Minnesota because
6:19
they're going to try to match that.
6:20
They just can't compete. They didn't get enough shot
6:22
volume. The pace is going to go down.
6:24
They can knock down some threes. I don't expect, I think the
6:27
other night was like 4 points in the 1st 8 minutes of that game
6:30
from Minnesota. I don't expect that at all.
6:32
I think they're going to be a kind of a fast tempo game.
6:35
The only issue here is if it's a blowout, which we saw last game,
6:39
we had two and a half minutes where we needed, we needed the
6:42
the, the bench bench to score like 6 points and they scored
6:45
exactly like 8. So that's where we kind of get
6:48
in trouble with the total. I'll take the over in San
6:50
Antonio. All right, Mr. W, give us your
6:54
number two. Yeah.
6:55
I'm going to go to the early game tomorrow, the, the
6:59
Cleveland and, and Detroit game. And I'm, I'm going to, I'm going
7:03
to take Detroit, I'm going to take the, the points on that
7:06
one. And it's not because I like
7:08
Detroit as a team better than Cleveland.
7:09
I do think Cleveland's going to close out this series, but I
7:11
think it's going to take him seven games in order to do it.
7:14
I, I just, I'm going to talk on the other side of my mouth
7:17
tomorrow. I, my thought is I have trouble
7:21
taking James Harden in a close out game.
7:25
I think he'll have his, his soft game tomorrow and then he he
7:29
might just kind of be middle of the road for a hardened
7:32
performance. And Mobley is going to be who
7:34
ends up taking out Detroit in Game 7.
7:37
But tomorrow I like taking the points.
7:39
Now whether or not Cleveland wins, that's irrelevant to me as
7:43
as an investor here. 3 1/2 points with the line not moving
7:48
63% of the tickets is on Cleveland at home.
7:51
And this is an odd geography. Remember we're Michigan and
7:54
we're Ohio these these these it's it's very easy travel.
7:59
So I'm not saying that the homecourt advantage is canceling
8:04
it out, but it's it's a lot more balanced than what you would see
8:08
in some of these games like Minnesota, San Antonio, They
8:11
have true home field advantage, but the driving distance between
8:14
these two stadiums. But I just, I like taking the
8:17
points. I really have had fun watching
8:19
this series, but I'm taking 3 1/2 points.
8:21
I think it's going to be a two or three-point game.
8:24
All right, Reno, give us your #3.
8:26
Yeah, you know, not afraid here to lay the points here with with
8:29
Cleveland. I thought I was on see the money
8:30
line. And in their last game at plus
8:32
one 45150. Look, Cleveland's been the
8:35
better team through this series. Even in the first two games,
8:38
Cleveland was in earshot to win both of those games.
8:43
Last game, I bet on the money line and I was like, damn it,
8:45
the exact same thing happened as games one and two.
8:47
They're in at the whole game. Detroit goes on a run on home,
8:51
at home and it's over. But Cleveland showed a lot of
8:54
resilience being able to go on an 11-O run, the 2 1/2 in the
8:58
final 2 1/2 minutes to win to get it to overtime at the end
9:02
when the game pulled away in overtime.
9:04
This is a better team. I was not thrilled with Detroit
9:07
even beating Orlando. I thought of Orlando for much of
9:10
that series looked like the better team.
9:11
They came back down three games to 1.
9:13
This this series has mostly been dominated by the home team.
9:17
Overall, though, I I can't even knock James Harden in this
9:20
series outside of game two. He scored 19 points in in every
9:24
other game he shot at least 38% from the field, including a
9:27
couple times at 40 and 57% from the field.
9:30
He's actually and and clutch situations has actually been the
9:35
go to guy and making those shots.
9:37
I do think we're going to see a Cleveland win.
9:39
I do think that you just took the sales out of Detroit after
9:43
they're being up by 9 points at home.
9:46
You have the nest. Jenkins making his first start.
9:49
The crowd is fired up and Cleveland still bounce back.
9:52
I think Detroit has seen that their season is going to be over
9:57
and I don't think they bounce back in this game.
9:59
Lay the 3 1/2 points. Cleveland will win tomorrow in
10:01
the blowout all. Right, Wes, give us your number.
10:03
3 This is a really strange 1 for me, but I am looking at a
10:08
baseball game that just my algorithm spoke to me and I, I,
10:11
I have some AI that monitors baseball for me and I'm looking
10:16
at, I'm looking at Washington and Baltimore and I'm just just
10:21
numbers, right? I, I, I would probably struggle
10:23
to, to name 15 players in, in the entire MLB, but I'm looking
10:27
at what I'm looking at Washington coming off of a 15 to
10:33
one loss. OK, they're they're going to
10:35
they're going to and that was on the road, They're going to stay
10:37
home. So that's humiliation.
10:39
Teams don't typically have two of those in a row in any sport.
10:43
I'm sorry. But then you look at Baltimore,
10:46
who is coming off of A7 to nothing win against the Yankees.
10:51
So I'm going to take the home dogs and it's plus 1/20.
10:55
I like I like Washington to to win this game.
10:58
In fact, I'm going to play some some live action and some early
11:05
inning action because I, I think that Washington's going to score
11:07
some runs early. But me, it's just the classic
11:10
coming off of a high, coming off of a low.
11:12
We're looking at dead cat bounces.
11:14
I'm going to take Washington and that.
11:16
All right, Reno, give us your final pick of the night.
11:19
We're going to hockey here and this is going to be a play
11:22
straight on value and in baseball and MLB and in
11:27
basketball, what I typically do in the playoffs is I will pick
11:29
my horse and I will ride them till the wheels fall off.
11:33
Buffalo in this series was who I was going to ride.
11:36
I thought Buffalo was going to come in and win this series.
11:38
If you look at Game 2, they probably should have won that
11:40
game. All four Montreal goals were
11:42
were mistakes by Buffalo. I thought they'd bounce back.
11:45
They really haven't. They got humiliated on their
11:47
home ice 6:00 to 3:00 and you're probably going to get a lot of
11:51
people thinking Montreal closes it out on their home ice.
11:54
Little fun fact about hockey in the playoffs, home ice is not
11:58
typically that great. It's not as like I think in the
12:01
NBA. I think you have great home
12:03
homecourt advantages in the NBA. Hockey is a little different
12:07
with the way it's kind of set up basketball.
12:09
I feel like you feel like the fans are more involved in the
12:11
game and hockey, it's a little different.
12:13
Yes, it gets loud. The goals that you know, I've
12:15
seen the Vegas science games when they blow that horn, 45
12:19
seconds a goal is great. I just don't think that the home
12:22
price is is is going to I'm going to lay -160 on Montreal.
12:26
I think the value is going to be on Buffalo.
12:28
I'm going to take plus 140 on Buffalo.
12:30
I think that they do win that game.
12:32
I do think they come home and win the series.
12:34
I just sprinkled right now for them to come back and win this
12:37
series because I just think the values on them and the Golden
12:39
Knights are up to nothing, by the way.
12:42
All right, Wes final. Pick So I'm taking Montreal
12:47
also, so I apologize you're, you're not getting variety.
12:49
But I, I, I just want to add there is a significant advantage
12:54
in hockey in the playoffs when you have home Mounties, you get
12:58
the last, you get the last player substitution before the
13:02
puck drops. And that matters when you're
13:05
talking about Montreal coaching staff versus Buffalo coaching
13:09
staff. So I, I think Montreal's got a
13:11
better coaching staff. There's a closeout game in
13:13
Canada. This is a franchise that has
13:15
waited a long time to to get to this position.
13:19
Every year Canada is choking. So Johnny, I agree with you.
13:23
I Chaz and I had a conversation about this a while back and why
13:26
the the home ice is is so important in the NHL.
13:30
It's just, you know, players are moving in and out, but but that
13:33
home team gets the last thing. So if you're you're away and
13:38
you're trying to get some guy in you, you don't if the home team
13:41
doesn't move them so it it can be something of a chess match.
13:44
That's awesome in a Mississippi State shirt.
13:53
Nightmares about block Ms. You know, the only thing I have to
14:02
say I have it. I can't find it in my notes.
14:06
Rd. teams have actually probably I think they've won a couple
14:10
more games this this year at home on the road.
14:13
And I get the the what you you expect.
14:16
Yeah, the the last substitution. You have your home, you got the
14:20
buzzer and the crowd. I get that.
14:21
But in the NHL playoffs over the last couple of seasons, home ice
14:25
has especially considering at home.
14:28
What are you laying -180 -? 200 the values not there for the
14:35
win rate at home in the playoffs.
14:37
That's all I would say in hockey, yes.
14:39
Everything else that's up like where they have it's an
14:41
advantage, but overall they're they're not winning to justify
14:46
lane. The amount of juice you have to
14:48
lay at home in NHL hockey. Interesting.
14:51
No, but the playoffs. The playoffs.
14:53
Laying the 1 1/2 in the NHL is better than laying the 1 1/2
14:57
during the regular season. In the regular season, I, I'm
15:00
either betting, I'm either betting the the dog money line,
15:04
the dog outright or I'm just not betting it at all because
15:06
there's no you, you don't want to lay it because they don't
15:09
always pull the goalie. But in the playoffs they are
15:11
pulling that goalie. It's just a matter of if, if the
15:14
puck ends up in the back of the net, it, it doesn't really make
15:17
a difference if they win by 5 or they win by one, that goalie is
15:19
getting pulled. So OK.
15:21
But, but, but here, but here we can get off, get off it.
15:25
But look, I'm looking over the last 10-10 days, a favorite, a
15:30
favorite which you have to lay either 200 or the 1 1/2 goal.
15:35
The favorite has only won by more than one goal one time.
15:40
And I'm all the way back on May 7th right now.
15:42
So there's no justification to lay it because even on the I'm
15:48
looking at the favorites, you know, they're not winning.
15:51
I think on the seven will be game #2 Carolina won by by by by
15:55
by margin there. The Golden Knights are coming in
15:58
at -110 that they won by margin. They're cool.
16:00
The Sabres were the favorite in that game where they lost
16:03
outright. Flyer Hurricanes one by one.
16:06
Wild underdogs 1 outright. Ducks underdogs 1 outright
16:11
Canadians. For the record though.
16:14
For the record though, we, you and I both are on the same pick.
16:17
We both agree. That what that Buffalo you took
16:20
Montreal. I think I'm on Buffalo.
16:22
Oh, all right. Well then, Well, yeah.
16:24
Are you in a closet? No, that's where they, that's
16:28
where they kept me. I mean, this is the way they
16:30
positioned me over here. So I'm, I'm stuck in the middle.
16:35
I'm stuck in the middle of this. But in the closet, man.
16:38
I'm not in a. Closet By the way, it's good to
16:39
see you 2 disagreeing again. You guys were too agreeable
16:41
during the college football season.
16:43
By the way, I've got Buffalo winning Game 6, just so you
16:46
know. Anyways, I, I, I think he does
16:49
go to a 7th and we'll see. What this?
16:52
This ain't gonna work buddy. For me I need a 2X small.
16:57
Anyways, thanks boys. We appreciate you.
17:00
See you next. Week away.
17:01
From Canada, Canadian football 2 weeks, you guys know CFL 70% of
17:06
time. There it is.
17:08
I might be betting on that too. So if.
17:11
I don't, I don't bet on that, but I'll definitely tail picks
17:14
here because I don't know shit about Canadian football so I'll
17:18
probably tell with his picks. Diego Pavia that I believe,
17:24
well, I believe it's Winnipeg that owns the rights to, to
17:27
Diego Pavia if he ends up in the, in the Canadian Football
17:30
League. And it's weird the way that they
17:33
draft, like I, I've watched a lot of the Canadian draft and,
17:36
you know, maybe we have an episode on that, Yes.
17:39
Well, he just so you know, I think he still makes the
17:41
Baltimore team. So that's just my opinion.
17:43
I still I think he makes the Ravens team.
17:46
I think he makes the roster. Anyways, thanks boys.
17:48
I appreciate you. Yep.
17:50
Take care. Let's parlay Fantastic Wes and
17:54
Mr. Reno, Johnny Sensational. All right, Speedy 6 Pack of the
17:58
week. Let's have a sensor.
18:02
Who wants to play Drink the Beer?
18:03
It's time for the Speedy 6 pack of the way.
18:08
Do you want to jerk me off? Now I'll pass.
18:12
I'm not going to want to jerk anything off.
18:13
So I think for the first time since our NBA.
18:16
Off I am a legend. I've actually done a full NBA 1,
18:19
so this is just recaps from Games 5 and the OKC sweep.
18:22
We'll start with that. Cavaliers and Pistons series,
18:24
Cavs on their end, winning one 17113 I mentioned before.
18:29
Max Streuse 20 points on six of eight shooting from three in
18:33
that game in Detroit. I love Lisa Ann.
18:35
Has only lost one time before that in the playoffs.
18:38
Let me tell you something about Detroit.
18:40
They don't have secondary offense and because they don't
18:42
have secondary offense, they're not going to beat the Cavaliers
18:46
it even if it goes to a seventh game.
18:48
And as you heard W say, it's Reno, Johnny.
18:52
They both think the Cavaliers are going to win the series.
18:55
I do too. I think the Cavaliers are a
18:57
better overall team. I think Detroit and I think the
19:01
Knicks are better off playing the Cavaliers in Detroit because
19:04
they're mean and the Knicks, for some reason, when teams push
19:07
them around, they don't play very well.
19:09
So I think they're better off playing a slacking team like the
19:14
Cavaliers that sometimes don't show up in quarters.
19:17
Offensively, I've seen teams score 3940 points in a in 1/4
19:22
against the Cavaliers because they don't show up playing
19:24
defense, and I think the Knicks are going to do that.
19:27
Yeah, I think, I think you guys are right.
19:30
But I do think it goes to seven games.
19:32
I think that Detroit comes out like I mentioned earlier, they
19:35
come out and do everything and they power to win game six.
19:38
And then on the 7th game Cleveland coaches is out because
19:42
they just have more, they have the better talent.
19:43
And I just don't think that Detroit can continue to just dig
19:47
themselves out of these holes that they have all the way
19:49
through from Orlando up until this point now.
19:52
And so yeah, I got I got Cleveland winning overall and
19:55
given the next hell in the next round.
19:58
All right, so the big, big thing in Game 5 was Jalen Duran was
20:01
benched if he just paid 25 minutes overall, no minutes in
20:05
the fourth quarter, averaging just 10.6 points per game in the
20:07
last series and just 9.5 in this series.
20:10
He's going to. Turn for their second best
20:12
player. I don't know if he's showing up
20:14
throughout the playoffs, maybe he's hurt.
20:16
Maybe we're going to hear things at the end of the season when
20:18
they get eliminated that there's something going on because this
20:22
is a guy that has played at a high level for the last two
20:24
seasons and then all of a sudden at the second-half of the season
20:27
completely falling off. That doesn't make sense.
20:30
There's something going on. Yeah, he had a couple of games
20:32
that was all right in versus Orlando, but yeah, he's been a
20:35
shell of himself ever since then.
20:37
And I just, I feel bad for him because this is his contract
20:40
year and for him to be performing this poorly in the
20:43
playoffs, definitely going to impact how much money he get.
20:46
But yeah, he has to step up tremendously.
20:48
Don't think he could do it in enough time to help them get out
20:51
of this series. But yeah, I think he, he, he's
20:53
in a world of trouble right now. I'm going to throw something out
20:56
you guys for for you guys to understand.
20:58
Don't be surprised if Giannis is a guy that could go to Detroit
21:04
because I'm just. I could see it.
21:07
I'm just saying Durant. What?
21:10
What is he going to? Because they have young talent,
21:12
they have young talent, they have young talent over there.
21:14
You put Giannis over there with Cunningham, good luck.
21:17
I'm telling you that could change everything.
21:19
The whole perspective. But but Kate is more of a tool
21:23
than. I'm telling you right now, it
21:24
makes a lot of sense. It makes a lot of sense.
21:27
It looks good on paper but I just don't see why he would go,
21:29
especially when he keep talking about he want this big brand and
21:32
all this and that. Detroit.
21:34
Absolutely it. Used to be, there ain't nothing
21:37
going on. I don't know, man.
21:38
I I think Detroit would be a great place for Giannis.
21:41
To really be miserable in Detroit.
21:42
Stay on the East Coast. Go ahead, Speedy.
21:45
All right, so kind of a quicker one here.
21:47
We got the OKC sweeping the Lakers, the first team that have
21:50
swept 2 rounds in the playoffs since both the Cavs and the
21:53
Warriors in 2017, when they. Face, let me tell you guys
21:56
something. The Lakers didn't even have all
21:58
their players. Luka Doncic didn't play it all
22:00
in that series. Maybe they, maybe they beat.
22:03
They will. They probably beat them, but
22:05
they don't sweep them. If Luka Doncic was on that team,
22:09
that's great. For the OKC Thunder, it's been
22:11
easy all the way to the Western Conference Finals.
22:13
Good luck. They're matched up against the
22:15
Spurs, that's all. Let me tell you this, the
22:18
Oklahoma City Thunder would have swept them with or without Luka
22:21
like they did. So at the end of the day the
22:23
Lakers had no chance in beating them.
22:25
OKC only team that can beat them or they can that can compete
22:30
with them is the San Antonio. So that'll be a good matchup
22:34
next round. But overall, OKC was going to
22:36
sweep them and they they didn't have a shot to be OKC no matter
22:40
who they had. Disagree.
22:42
They needed they needed two superstars.
22:43
Disagree. Right, so the second-half of
22:46
this part is an interesting stack comparison.
22:48
So SGA barely outplayed LeBron in that series. 24.5 to 23.3 in
22:52
terms of points per game. 6.3 to 5.8 assists.
22:56
Slightly in favor of SGA, but LeBron actually shot better 50
22:59
to 47. Good news for you guys, SGA is
23:02
not the league. NVP.
23:04
I don't have to say it over and over and over again.
23:06
I can tell you until you're blue in the face, SGA is a great
23:09
player. He's a great offensive player.
23:11
He wasn't even the best. He wasn't the leading scorer in
23:15
the league all season long was Luke Adamcic.
23:18
And this guy's going to win the MVP.
23:20
He's a -, 2000. Good luck.
23:23
I'm going to tell you guys this, the MVP, it means nothing.
23:26
It means nothing if you're going to give the MVP to Joel Embiid a
23:29
couple of years ago. It means nothing.
23:31
Just so you know. And as far as I'm concerned,
23:33
congratulations to a great career LeBron James.
23:37
I don't know if he goes to the Cavaliers.
23:39
I don't know if he goes to the Knicks.
23:40
I don't know if he comes back next year.
23:43
Maybe he just walks away and says hurrah.
23:45
I don't know. But something tells me he wants
23:48
to have that final year where he can do that, you know, jump from
23:53
one place to another and he gets all these awards and all these
23:57
gifts and a great LeBron James, the King.
24:00
So I think he does come back because of that.
24:03
Yeah, the projects will be in LA next year, guys, don't even
24:07
worry. No, he won't.
24:08
No, he won't. Yeah, he'll be in LA next.
24:11
Year. How much you how much you really
24:13
want to bet on that? Let's make it real.
24:14
Bet no, no, no. We're talking about real bet.
24:16
Listen, let's make SCA is the will be the MVP.
24:19
He will go on and win the MVP. It's not just about scoring all
24:24
the time. We make it about points for TV
24:27
and media and that's that's what we brag about for the most part.
24:30
But leading the team and being #1 consistently throughout the
24:34
year and actually playing at a higher level is, is something to
24:38
be recognized and respected within the league.
24:41
So that's why he'll be winning MVP.
24:42
As far as him competing against the Bar Jays, Bar Jays had
24:46
picked up, he went from #3 to #1 So obviously he was getting more
24:50
shots up and obviously that's more opportunities for him to
24:52
score versus SA where that was blitzing him.
24:55
That was sitting double teams right there.
24:57
So he had to be more of a facilitator and orchestrate the
25:00
offense versus board to just being a pure scorer and his team
25:03
stepped up and helped keep the job done.
25:05
Wrong, wrong, wrong. That's all I'm.
25:09
Going to say about that, right? It's wrong, wrong, wrong.
25:11
And by the way, Most Valuable Player means Most Valuable
25:15
Player to your team and SGA is not the most valuable.
25:18
Player and they win without always, yes.
25:21
But is he the most valuable? Absolutely.
25:22
No, Jokic. Nicola Jokic is the Most
25:25
Valuable Player done on to the next.
25:28
All right, we'll. Finish it off with the Spurs and
25:30
the Timberwolves Game 5 as Reno, Johnny and Wes were mentioning
25:34
the Wemby with a redemption story.
25:35
But more of this downside for the Timberwolves.
25:38
Rudy Gobert a rough one for him, just four points in Game 5 and a
25:41
-, 15 as a defensive rating. Also like Duran Jalen Duran just
25:47
playing 22 minutes in that game. Here's the problem.
25:51
Anthony Edwards is not 100% healthy.
25:53
Everybody knows that. If Anthony Edwards isn't 100%
25:57
healthy, they don't have a chance in this series.
25:59
The fact that they've been in this series is really because
26:02
webbing Yama has been an idiot. He he needs to keep his hands to
26:06
himself. This series probably is over
26:09
already. If webbing Yama didn't get
26:11
didn't get thrown out of that game, they they should have won
26:13
the series four games to 2. And that's the only reason why
26:16
Minnesota's still in this. If if was the 5th, we'd all be
26:19
drunk. Listen, the Spurs end up winning
26:22
this game. But at the end of the day, I
26:25
think that the Minnesota Timberwolves come out and they
26:28
do everything. They play out of their mind for
26:30
game six and then it forces a game seven.
26:32
I don't think the NBA is ready to be done with the Western
26:37
Conference semis. And so I think that they were
26:39
going to go out and be physical when we would be coming off that
26:42
suspension. Obviously it was going to be a
26:44
lot of momentum. He's going to be excited about
26:47
getting back on the floor and bringing some of these tools out
26:50
of the toolbox and using it against Rudy Gobert, which like
26:54
you said, speedy had an awful game.
26:56
So I think that Minnesota win game since and they go to Game 7
27:00
and women they win it back home in high.
27:03
Fashion. This is not going to a Game 7.
27:06
OK all. Right, we'll finish it off with
27:07
Wembe. The stat line is 27.17 rebounds,
27:10
5 assists, 3 blocks. And probably if you look at his
27:13
overall staff besides, obviously the game he got ejected probably
27:16
has been the best playoff performer of anybody left.
27:19
I listen. We all know what Webbiyama is.
27:22
He's like 3 inches bigger than everybody on a basketball court.
27:25
He doesn't even have to jump to jam the ball.
27:28
He can shoot, he can dribble. He's a point forward, a point
27:33
center, whatever you want to call him.
27:34
He can do everything. He's a great player.
27:37
Nobody's going to take away his talents.
27:39
The only problem that worries me is he's injury prone.
27:42
He's had blood clots. That's the only reason why I've
27:45
attacked Webbing Yama. I thought he was going to be a
27:47
good player. I don't know if he's ever going
27:49
to have that long standing career.
27:51
Yao Ming was supposed to be a long standing player.
27:54
He never really got a chance to do that because of injuries and
27:57
foot problems. Big guys like this always have
28:00
problems with their knees, their feet and everything like that.
28:04
That's the only reason why I don't think Webbing Yama is
28:06
going to go down as one of the greatest big man of all time.
28:10
Well, yeah, he's a alien for a reason.
28:11
He would definitely go down as one of the big greatest big man.
28:14
I mean, the guy's averaging like three or five blocks.
28:17
He's also a double, double machine.
28:18
So he he had all the momentum with him last last game being
28:23
that he got kicked out and he felt like he had to put the team
28:27
on his back. And he I mean, he was doing pump
28:28
face death throughs. He was playing out of his mind.
28:31
He was playing like, so I just don't see Minnesota giving up
28:34
like that in Game 6. So I think that they're going to
28:36
have a different defensive scheme for him and he'll
28:39
probably get his average, you know, anywhere between 18 to 22
28:43
points and 12 rebounds and probably 5, three to five blocks
28:48
and whatnot. But I definitely don't think
28:50
that the series is over. But he had a hell of a game
28:53
coming off the kick out being off that injection.
28:58
It's over. Don't worry.
28:59
Ladies and gentlemen, I you can, you can bet on it.
29:02
This series is you didn't. Do so well the last.
29:05
Time you shut down I'm I'm telling you right now it's over
29:08
there is no way they're coming back and went going to a game
29:10
seven I I'm. Webbing.
29:12
Yama is cool webbing Yama and that team the way D Aaron Fox is
29:16
playing right now. Good friggin luck.
29:19
All right, we'll call this Dial It Up.
29:22
This regularly scheduled hot mix to bring an important news.
29:25
We got a big. Broadcast to do here.
29:27
We we're about to dial it up. All right, welcome back Dial.
29:38
In. Everyone's favorite Lightning
29:41
Round Sports News segment. Errol, you know what the deal
29:48
is. Squeeze the tease.
29:51
But you haven't heard yet. We're going to start with a big
29:54
one and then you're going to dial up a take and we'll react
29:58
to it. Here we go, dial it up.
30:01
First story, Errol in hockey, the Oilers fired Chris Noblock.
30:09
Yes, that Chris Noblock that took them to back-to-back
30:13
Stanley Cup finals almost all the way twice.
30:18
Obviously not as good of a season this year.
30:20
Eliminated in the first round. McDavid playing on a broken
30:24
ankle. Blame the coach, pretty much the
30:28
top coach available instantly on the market.
30:31
Errol, I'm sure you have something to say about this when
30:34
you. Dial it up.
30:36
Well, here's the thing, I I have no idea what this organization
30:40
is doing because if you look at the Edmonton Oilers, their
30:43
record this year was 41 and 3093 points.
30:47
They were the second best team in the Pacific Division.
30:50
Think about this, this guy took you, took you to back-to-back
30:55
championship games. You lost and you give up on him
30:59
after two years. It makes no sense.
31:03
I'm going to tell you this right now.
31:04
They're going to be 5-6 teams lining up for this guy.
31:07
He's a kid. He's still a young man getting
31:10
to know and getting to understand the game.
31:13
The NHL at the pace that it is. This guy is one of the best,
31:16
three best coaches in the NHL. It makes no sense.
31:20
Edmonton is on their way out and you might be right.
31:24
A lot of Ranger fans might be very excited about this because
31:26
Connor McDavid might not want to be here much longer.
31:29
Yeah, we talked about last week why Joel Krenville has a job
31:32
with Anaheim. Stan Bowman's in that same
31:34
scandal, yet he has a job because the Oilers can't hire a
31:36
good GM whatsoever. Ken Holland was not great before
31:39
that, before there was Chia Rally, it was one of the worst.
31:41
And you're going to now look at a job that, yeah, I guess Connor
31:45
McDavid is there, but you're looking at a case where it's
31:47
going to be a desirable for somebody working for Bowman at
31:49
this point. So the Oilers are just digging
31:51
their own grave when it looked like they finally got out of it
31:54
the last five years, they went to the two Cups and now they're
31:56
firing. A head coach did a phenomenal
31:58
job with their young players. And you're right, any young
32:00
team, as we look at that fish, the one I mentioned to you was
32:03
Detroit. They're a team that Eiserman, I,
32:05
they had a collapse that was worse than the Islanders.
32:07
And he gets to keep keep his job.
32:08
That's a young team. The Kings I would look at to a
32:10
very young team. Seattle, there's a lot of teams
32:12
are going to be lining up for him.
32:13
The fact that he got fired is absolutely ridiculous.
32:17
You know, I, I think it was because they leaked that Cassidy
32:21
was someone they wanted to get the job.
32:24
He's out there from Vegas. Vegas said no.
32:26
But since Vegas said no, it became public knowledge that
32:29
they were, that they were looking to move on from him.
32:32
So I guess they had to do that. But now also they don't get
32:35
Cassidy. Yeah, if he has the rights, like
32:37
you can't do that since you make it look really bad.
32:40
Good job Stan Bowman, who shouldn't have a job.
32:43
Yeah, I mean, I put it in the graphic.
32:45
I just don't think it was the coach that should have been
32:48
fired in the situation. I think it was the GM who can't
32:51
fire himself. Let's move on to the next story
32:55
here. And this one goes to baseball.
32:59
And this is the slumping Cal Raleigh.
33:02
Get this, Errol. He showered in his uniform
33:06
because he was over 36. He ends up with a couple of
33:10
hits, a couple of RBI's in the game.
33:13
They shower him with Gatorade. Do you realize how bad he has
33:19
been this season? How bad is he?
33:24
Well, I'll tell you, he's so bad he's considered the ninth worst
33:28
hitter in all of baseball, hitting like 160.
33:32
And on top of it, after this great two hit game that he
33:36
celebrated like he hit sixty home runs, which he did last
33:39
season. He went on the IL with a
33:43
strained oblique. Errol.
33:47
Dial it up for the big dumper. Here's the Here's the facts.
33:50
He's one of the best switch hitting power hitters in
33:52
baseball, but if you remember what happened in the WBC, he
33:56
lost his job. He wasn't even the final catcher
33:59
for Team USA because he couldn't hit the ball.
34:01
He's not what he was last year. He was having an unbelievable
34:04
season. Everybody was compare him to
34:05
Mickey Mantle. He's not Mickey Mantle and that
34:08
was the reason why the voters decided to go with Aaron Judge
34:11
because Aaron Judge did it consistently and this guy hasn't
34:15
been as consistent. He is a special player.
34:18
He's a great defensive player at the catching position.
34:20
He's a great leader. He's got power, but he's a hot
34:23
and and cold player and when you're a hot and cold player,
34:26
you can't look at him as an MVP type of player.
34:29
Now as far as what he's doing right now, I think he's going to
34:32
get out of this slump. He's too good of a hitter to get
34:34
to hit the way he's hitting right now.
34:36
But it it's alarming when you look at a player that hit how
34:39
many home runs last year over over 5859 as a switch hitter and
34:45
how many hits, how many home runs does he have right now?
34:48
I rest my kiss. Remember these few like big home
34:54
run seasons from catchers that never had another big home run
34:57
season. Then The Jets, The Jets, the
34:59
Mets have somebody like that was a Jeff Hunley or something.
35:02
Todd Hunley. Todd Hunley had a 40 something
35:06
home run. Eventually became an Alfie I.
35:07
Made that I made that a question last year.
35:09
A tic tac that was a trick because so I guess my fiance.
35:11
Quick, quick story is, is that Speedy reached out to Todd
35:14
Hudley a long time ago and he's a horse guy and we wanted to get
35:18
him and talk, talk about horses. That was Paula Duka.
35:21
No, no, it wasn't Paula Duka. Paula Duka was the horse guy,
35:24
but I did reach out to Hunley so.
35:25
It was something with Hunley that happened and he didn't want
35:29
to come on and I didn't understand that, so screw Todd
35:32
Hunley anyway. Well, I mean, my point is, you
35:36
know, there's been a lot of guys like this in baseball that have
35:39
the one huge season, maybe not as huge as what Raleigh did last
35:43
year, and then just kind of had a regression to being a normal
35:47
player. And because you play catcher,
35:49
think about it. Remember what the Joe Mauer,
35:51
that guy was like a 35360 hitter, you know, 1520 home runs
35:57
and he couldn't even move after about six years that they had to
36:01
put him behind first base and then he couldn't.
36:03
He had no pop. Yeah, because Morneau got hurt
36:05
all the time too, so they kind of had to do that for him as
36:07
well. But I'm just saying at the
36:09
catcher position, you know, Buster Posey famously took a
36:11
beating and shortened his career.
36:14
These there's a it's a really tough position to stay good for
36:17
a long time. That's why things like Posada
36:20
don't get enough credit in my opinion, historically, Yogi
36:23
Berra should get more credit historically than he does.
36:26
The catcher is the toughest position to play up for a long
36:29
time, at least in baseball. So let's get to the.
36:33
So I don't really don't think Kyle Raleigh might be any good
36:36
unless he was playing hurt. Errol, you know, sometimes guys
36:38
like that play hurt. He's a catcher, he's fine.
36:42
Take care of the pitching staff. He's.
36:44
Too good of a player? He'll figure it out.
36:46
He had a lot of swing and miss to his game before last season.
36:50
We'll see how he is after the injury.
36:51
I tend to think you're right. Let's take moving on from the
36:55
big dumper to a big contract for Miami Dolphin running back
37:00
Devon. A chain gets paid the third
37:03
highest contract for a running back in the entire NFL.
37:09
Four year, $64 million contract extension.
37:13
Max value of 68. Total guaranteed money for a
37:17
running back 32,000,000. I'm old enough to remember when
37:22
Joe Shane was angry to have to give Saquon half that average
37:28
cap hit 16,000,000, but this year it's only 2.3.
37:35
It's a lot of money for a running back that catches a ton
37:38
of passes and it's probably faster than everybody, but it's
37:40
also been hurt I think every year of his career.
37:44
Dial it up. Here's the facts.
37:46
Mike McDaniel is not there anymore.
37:48
So is he going to be as explosive as he was when Mike
37:51
McDaniel was there? That's one.
37:53
Number two, you're paying a guy that I do not believe is a top
37:58
five running back in the league. He's a great player.
38:00
He can catch the ball, he can run the ball.
38:02
You can't take away his gifts. He's he's fast, he's everything.
38:07
The problem with him is he's undersized and eventually he's
38:11
going to get hurt. And for some reason, the Miami
38:13
Dolphins like to overpay players.
38:15
Tua. I mean, they're still paying
38:18
that guy. They're playing.
38:19
They're still paying defensive players that they traded away.
38:22
This is an organization that overpays an owner that overpays
38:25
players that shouldn't be overpaid.
38:27
My opinion? Good job where to go?
38:29
We love overpaying players. That's what we do.
38:32
You know what I mean? But at the end of the day, he's
38:34
he's all they got. So at the end of the day, it's
38:37
not no strange to have overpay or pay or run it back this type
38:42
of numbers when pretty much what else can you say is coming out
38:45
of Miami, absolutely nothing. So congratulations to Brad.
38:49
He did his thing. He got a big contract.
38:52
Look forward to seeing what he do this year.
38:54
I'm not expecting much to come out of Miami outside of
38:57
highlights from him, but other than that, man, it was a big
39:00
payday. So we go celebrate that, right?
39:02
We're not going to talk down about a player getting paid.
39:09
If you're a fantasy player who plays in PPR leagues you know he
39:13
is like this boom or bust legends in fantasy where he can
39:17
just go off for crazy crazy games because of all the
39:20
receptions. Very curious to see what he does
39:23
without McDaniel scheming him open on a lot of those short
39:27
passes. They're still using like same
39:29
way. It'll have to be, it'll have to
39:31
be someone who's like, would just love a player like that.
39:35
No, you don't have nothing else. Well, I mean, like his story at
39:41
least, like coaching wise. Like I go back and I think about
39:44
a lot of the scheme historically.
39:45
Like Steve Spurry was the first guy to send running backs out of
39:48
the backfield on like angle routes and things like that.
39:50
And then it became more option routes as we went forwards into
39:53
the 2000s. And now you got guys full on
39:56
just being receivers out there and they can also be running
40:00
backs and they're like, it's like almost like the wing back
40:03
in the day. I think a chain can do
40:06
everything you want him on the field.
40:08
But you want someone who knows how to abuse him best.
40:11
And it's like he can be misused, I think.
40:15
And you don't want to run him 20 times into the back of the
40:18
offensive line. And I think someone might do
40:20
that. You have a Green Bay Packers
40:22
executive and a Green Bay Packers coach that's never done
40:25
it before. Good luck.
40:26
Move on. Well, worried about it.
40:28
Let's go back to baseball. This one's more media story
40:32
Errol and it's about the Braves and their regional Sports
40:37
Network that they created because the entire deal with
40:43
what was it the FanDuel Sports Network collapsed before the
40:48
season started, right? So the deal is last year they
40:52
made 4.3 million in quarter one of 2025.
40:57
This year in Braves Vision and their deal with MLBTV, they only
41:03
made 2.5 million, which, you know, quarter one means like I
41:07
guess before the season started, but they're not getting anyone
41:11
to look at it. And there's a lot of worry
41:13
because there was a lot of promises made that this was
41:16
going to bring the same type of revenues in.
41:19
And if this doesn't work, is the regional sports model completely
41:23
over? Dial it off.
41:25
I want to give a shout out to me Rest in peace Ted Ted Turner,
41:28
who passed away a couple of weeks ago.
41:30
I never got a chance to say that he owned the Braves for a very,
41:33
very long time. He was a great owner and a great
41:36
executive. So I want to give a shout out to
41:38
the Turner family. As far as the Braves are
41:40
concerned, this is a one of the best teams right now in
41:42
baseball, one of the best run organizations in professional
41:45
baseball and professional sports.
41:47
And you have Rob Manfred, as Jabba would call him or Rob Man
41:51
ass or whatever the hell you want to call him.
41:53
He's a complete moron. He doesn't do the right thing.
41:57
This is not and a problem and and I don't get it either
41:59
because George Steinbrenner who opened up opportunity for
42:03
organizations and television companies and all that other
42:06
stuff and making the yes network and it it exploded for all
42:09
professional sports. Why is it that this guy, ever
42:13
since he's taken over for Bud, see Lake has screwed up the
42:16
league. Everybody says, well, there's
42:18
money coming in. It's being more recognized
42:20
really, because if anything, if you look at the back end of it,
42:24
you're looking at teams that are doing so very well that have
42:27
been forgotten and they're not doing as well as they should be.
42:31
So it doesn't make any sense. They've got stars like a Cunha
42:34
and they got all these different young players coming up and and
42:37
playing at a high level and they're not making money.
42:40
Please. And here's another thing that
42:42
makes no sense to me. When you have an organization,
42:46
by the way, the Atlanta Braves, besides the Atlanta, the Atlanta
42:49
Hawks and the Atlanta, the Atlanta Falcons, the number one
42:53
sport in Atlanta is baseball. It is baseball.
42:59
I don't care what anybody says, baseball, I hear that the
43:02
Atlanta Braves sell out every single game.
43:04
How is their TV deal not bringing them the month any
43:07
money? It makes no sense whatsoever.
43:09
Baseball needs to figure this out and figure it out fast, or
43:12
this strike is going to be a lot longer than people think.
43:15
Yeah, Originally I figured it was the Bali sports deal
43:18
originally when they're just spread out on other networks and
43:21
then the FanDuel do try to duplicate that.
43:23
Obviously bringing in a betting network with that, you would
43:25
think it would work to some degree.
43:27
And you're right, for a team that getting good attendance,
43:30
they're very well. Wrong.
43:31
They're they're, I think last year they were fifth in the
43:33
league and selling out. Yeah, I mean, they're every
43:36
year, they're in the top 10 every year, and they have the
43:39
best run organization in professional baseball.
43:42
Yeah. So you would think that FanDuel
43:44
that has that kind of backing would be able to help them more.
43:46
Obviously, they're spread out in other areas as well.
43:48
But still, I'm surprised with how much revenue that they're on
43:52
an uptick that it wouldn't be able to help them this much with
43:54
how well they play. Because last year, like you
43:56
said, fish and the graphic, they triple the salary for a team
43:59
that was banged up all year. Yeah, and they're the best team
44:03
in baseball right now and they're losing money.
44:06
That's that should be said as well.
44:09
Let's move on to the last story of the evening.
44:12
I'm sure we're excited to get there.
44:14
This one's hilarious. Your buddy.
44:19
No, not real buddy, but Mr. Nick Wright, another talking head on
44:23
TV. He had a very interesting
44:27
comment that went viral about Joel Embiid and having his son
44:31
at the post game press conference mentioned you.
44:34
You touched on it a little bit at last night earlier in the
44:37
night. But he had to say something
44:39
saying that there should be no kids at these press conferences
44:44
anymore, especially if a team loses, because they're using the
44:49
kids as a shield to keep them away from asking tough questions
44:56
in front of the kid. And I would just be have to have
45:01
to mention that a lot of former players like Paul Pierce did not
45:05
like this take. But Mr. Nick Wright, he said
45:09
that it was ridiculous. NBA players are bringing their
45:12
children to the podium for decades, and a reporter
45:15
shouldn't be too intimidated by a child's presence to ask
45:19
professional questions. What do you say?
45:23
Dial it up. Let me ask Nick Wright a
45:25
question and, and this is a really good question, Why
45:29
haven't you said it about Patrick Mahomes when he's done
45:32
it so many times? Patrick Mahomes was doing it
45:35
with his kids. You're a Kansas City fan, you're
45:37
from the Kansas City area, but you have no problems not saying
45:41
it to Patrick Mahomes. Why?
45:42
Cuz he won a couple of titles. But even when they were winning,
45:45
he was bringing him up, his kids to the, you know, to meet the
45:49
media. That's crap.
45:50
Steph Curry's done it for years. Carmelo Anthony did it with his
45:54
son. Everybody does it.
45:56
But now you're going to attack Joel and beat because you don't
45:58
like Joel and beat. Everybody knows that Nick Wright
46:00
don't like Joel and beat. Hey, Nick, let me ask you a
46:03
question. Why is it that every time people
46:06
look at your social media, the first thing they see is your
46:09
kids? Why do we have to look at your
46:12
kids? You're an analyst.
46:14
Nobody cares who how many kids you have.
46:16
I don't care how many kids you have.
46:17
Why are your kids all over your pictures?
46:21
How about that? Who cares if Joel Embiid has his
46:24
son at the press conference he's trying to block away?
46:28
That is the most ridiculous statement.
46:30
It just shows you how stupid Nick Wright is.
46:32
Nick, why don't you worry about arguing your points about LeBron
46:36
James being better than Michael Jordan?
46:37
And your arguments are crap. Everything that you're posting
46:41
up and everything that you said on your show is absolute
46:43
ludicrous. So everything that comes under
46:46
this guy's mouth is overpaid. Fox Sports is making a huge
46:49
mistake giving this guy the money and his snobs will poke
46:52
you right in the eye. That's all I'm going to say.
46:54
I don't really understand the issue with him bringing the kid.
46:57
Like I said, everybody kind of brings the kid in the NBA, some
47:00
doing in the NFL, other professional sports at all.
47:03
I don't think that I also don't believe in once somebody get
47:07
eliminated from a series that it's the time to attack them and
47:11
it's the time to, you know, RIP them apart because they they got
47:15
swept in the in the NBA playoff series.
47:18
So I think it's kind of childish that they keep to say that this
47:22
kid was used as a shield. The mic is still there.
47:26
Joel B came and he's present. So whatever you want to ask him,
47:30
just ask him. I don't think he brought the kid
47:32
to be like, oh, yeah, now that I got my kid, they're not going to
47:35
ask me tough questions. Nobody's thinking that.
47:37
Listen, he accepted his loss. He went to the podium.
47:40
He got the mic, asked whatever question you got to ask.
47:42
The problem is, why are you trying to attack him just
47:46
because he got swept? Like, it should just be
47:48
basketball questions. Like what did you see, what went
47:51
on? What is something that you guys
47:52
can take away from this game and use it as momentum going into
47:56
next season? Those are the type of question
47:57
that should be asked. It shouldn't be, oh, I'm trying
47:59
to get AI got you moment or whatever.
48:01
But if you look back over the last week or two, Nick Wright
48:05
has just been doing anything possible to just go viral or to
48:09
be in everybody's algorithm because he's just been making
48:12
the most outlandish takes over the last week or a week or two.
48:16
So yeah, I just think it's some BS in regards to making it seem
48:19
like he brought the kid to try to shy away from the questions.
48:22
He's right there. He was at the podium.
48:25
He's also doing this thing where he's being like a professional
48:30
poker player on the side, Nick Wright, and he was trying to
48:33
being real bragging about how much money he's betting because
48:36
he's doing so well. And I just thought it was a
48:40
ridiculous take for someone to have who's at who?
48:43
Also is like bragging about like wasting money professional
48:47
gambling when you're a professional sports guy.
48:49
All right, so my take here with Nick Wright before we go is I
48:53
met Nick Wright a couple of years ago at a summit and he
48:56
told me he started going back and forth with me in the
48:59
backroom talking about Jordan and LeBron.
49:02
And I said, hey, here's my card. Come on a show.
49:05
I I'd like to go out. Yeah, absolutely.
49:07
I'll reach out to you. I'll send you a text.
49:09
Never sent me a text. Never wanted to come on the
49:11
show. So the the problem with Nick
49:14
Wright is it's it's pretty straightforward.
49:16
Nick Wright, he he plays like he's a man on his show, like
49:20
he's the man and everybody's got to kiss his ass.
49:22
When he was speaking at this summit, everybody had, oh, look,
49:25
it's Nick Wright. Yeah, Nick Wright who doesn't
49:27
cut his hair and he has a big snozz and he thinks he's like
49:31
God's gift to the world. The problem with Nick Wright is
49:34
pretty simple. His takes are all about an
49:37
algorithm. He doesn't care on his on on who
49:41
he hurts or how he throws A curveball as long as it gets
49:45
click bait. And that's the problem with Nick
49:48
Wright. Anybody that likes Nick Wright,
49:49
anybody that knows anything about Nick Wright knows that Fox
49:53
has made a big mistake extending his contract because the guy
49:56
doesn't know anything that he's talking about.
49:58
He kisses LeBron James's ass because Lebron's actually goes
50:01
on his show. He kisses all the people's asses
50:04
that come on his show. Anybody else that's told him no,
50:08
not interested. That's the guys like Joel
50:10
Embiid. Joel Embiid has told Nick Wright
50:13
for years. I will not come on your show.
50:15
And what does Nick Wright do? He attached to Ellen bead it it
50:18
it's pathetic. It it just shows you how and who
50:21
Nick Wright really is as a person.
50:23
That's all I'm going to say about that.
50:25
That's the end of the show. I just want to let everybody
50:27
know that I fought my way through the show.
50:30
I've been congested. I've been dealing with it and
50:33
I'm I'm just happy that I got through the show.
50:35
So thank you to all the guys and the the fans out there that have
50:40
sent me get well and shout out to Jamie Lee and all the people
50:44
that have stood behind me for all the craziness over the last
50:48
48 hours. So thank you, thank you, thank
50:50
you and the guys, everybody on the show for being behind me on
50:54
this. And fish was telling me like,
50:56
we'll do whatever it takes to to make sure that the show, you
50:59
know, can be better for you. But there you go.
51:02
I'm running over queue right there.
51:04
Thank you to all the Spotify and Apple followers on the video and
51:08
the audio section. Thank you to all of them.

51:46
week's all? Right joining us at 8:30 on
51:47
Monday. She is a college football and
51:49
National NFL national reporter. Now with Fan Sighted and Heavy
51:53
Sports. Chrissy Freud will be joining
51:55
us. Yes.
51:56
And if you don't know who Chrissy Freud is, she was the
51:59
one that was let go by her organization because of some of
52:04
the things that she said about Diana Rusini.
52:07
You know, anybody that knows the story, but we're not going to
52:10
get into that. She doesn't want to talk about
52:11
that. But it's very we're very excited
52:14
to have her on the show. She doesn't really.
52:16
She has not jumped on many different shows because of the
52:19
situation, but she wants to come on this show.
52:22
So we really appreciate her and we'll have some fun with her.
52:25
We'll talk a little NFL with her.
52:26
So she was at the draft and I'd love to hear her take on The
52:29
Jets and the Giants pick. So we're happy to have her.
52:32
So thank you very much. And we'll we'll stay tuned for
52:36
our Thursday show as well. We're going to have a special
52:38
guest as well. All right, enjoy the weekend,
52:41
ladies and gentlemen. And maybe we'll see a Knick game
52:45
on Monday or Tuesday. It could happen if the Cavaliers
52:49
close out the Detroit Pistons. I'm excited.
52:53
I want to, I want to see the Knicks play.
52:55
The quicker the better because the longer the Knicks wait, the
52:57
more I think it it could affect the Knicks.
53:00
I want to see them on the basketball court as soon as
53:02
possible. Anyways, that's it for our show.
53:05
We will see you on Monday next week.
53:07
Good night. It's the worldwide sports radio
53:11
network.
