- 3:20I don't know, I want to. I don't want to scare anybody
- 3:22off about Bermuda, but beware of the Bermuda Triangle.
- 3:26And that's what I was in, stuck in the Bermuda Triangle.

- 3:51www.worldwidesportsradio.com. And I want to say something that
- 3:58yes, there you are. And don't worry, Kevin, I will
- 4:01tell you guys some of the crazy stuff that happened me, happened
- 4:05to me at Bermuda. You know, it's crazy when you go
- 4:08on a cruise, you, you think, hey, you know what, you're going
- 4:10to see a lot of different things.
- 4:11You're going to go to a lot of different game shows and you're
- 4:15going to hang out with your girl and just enjoy yourself.
- 4:17Well, ladies and gentlemen, I didn't do any of those because
- 4:21Brittany fell asleep at 11:00 at night.
- 4:24She couldn't keep her eyes open. And I got a chance to hang out
- 4:27with Brittany's hairdresser, who's become close with me,
- 4:31Elena and her husband, John. John's an amazing guy.
- 4:34He really is a great, great person.
- 4:36And he went to sleep early too. As soon as we ate dinner, it
- 4:40didn't matter if it was a steak dinner, sushi, or whatever the
- 4:42hell they were eating. That guy was like a light bulb.
- 4:45But me, I hung out. I went out to the clubs, I
- 4:49danced the night away and got to meet a bunch of kids.
- 4:52Now let me ask you guys a question.
- 4:53If you ever gone to a club, could you imagine, could you
- 4:57imagine 1514 year olds being allowed to dance with a bunch of
- 5:02people drinking and partying at a club?
- 5:05Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you go on Norwegian the getaway,
- 5:09they'll allow people kids to actually go party with the grand
- 5:13grown-ups. It didn't matter how old they
- 5:15were. And then I actually met somebody
- 5:17that really was 24 years old, but look like he looked like a
- 5:2114 year old. And everybody they actually
- 5:23called security to tell him and security came down and looked at
- 5:27his ID. He was actually 24 years old.
- 5:30I was shocked. So that was the crazy, you know,
- 5:34crazy party part of my Bermuda. Triangle Could they just like,
- 5:38could they just come in and like dance or they could do whatever
- 5:41they want? Some of them were drinking wine.
- 5:43I mean, their parents were buying them drinks and I saw
- 5:47some, some of these kids actually at the bar and I, I,
- 5:51I'm, I don't know if they were 1415 years old, but they had to
- 5:54be under underage 1718 at best. And they were drinking wine,
- 5:59They were drinking beers. And I'm sitting there and I'm
- 6:01like, how do their parents actually like these kids
- 6:05actually going out drinking and then doing crazy things the
- 6:08whole night? I was up till like one or two O
- 6:11clock in in the morning and these kids are roaming all the
- 6:15different floors trying to figure out how they can, you
- 6:18know, piss people off. Some, some of them were beating
- 6:21people's, you know, doors in and hitting their doors and knocking
- 6:25on their doors and waking people up.
- 6:26One of my almost choke slammed, I grabbed, I wanted to grab him
- 6:30by his neck, but you know, I didn't do that.
- 6:32So I don't want to say I'm abusive, but I wanted to.
- 6:35All right. But I'll tell you guys a quick
- 6:37story before we get to the show. I don't want to scare you.
- 6:39And I'll have a lot of stories. I'll tell you some stories on
- 6:41Thursday. I'll tell you some stories next
- 6:44week as well. We got to Bermuda OK, so I'm
- 6:48hanging out, I'm getting ready. Elena and her husband John, they
- 6:51went out for breakfast. Downstairs to the breakfast or
- 6:53upstairs to floor 15, eat breakfast.
- 6:57After that they knocked on our door.
- 6:58We weren't up yet. We get up at 7:00 in the
- 7:00morning. They're done with breakfast and
- 7:02we told them to wait for us. Brittany takes forever to get
- 7:05ready. You know how women are.
- 7:06They're just absolutely impossible.
- 7:08But she gets ready and we're we run up for breakfast.
- 7:12We get down for breakfast and they knock on our door again and
- 7:14they say, listen, we're not dealing with this.
- 7:16We're going to we'll go on the island.
- 7:18We'll meet you on the island. All right, we're, we're getting
- 7:20ready. Brittany still putting on her
- 7:22make up. Whatever we get off the, the
- 7:25boat, we give our IDs, we go over there.
- 7:27Now, obviously before you cross the border, you got to get
- 7:32sometimes they look through your stuff and, and, and they pick us
- 7:36out of 3000 people, 3000 people. Now in my book bag, I had these
- 7:41electric THC, you know, smoking things.
- 7:46OK, I'm just telling you, I didn't smoke either.
- 7:48I just knew they were in the bag.
- 7:50So I told Brittany I want to go back upstairs drop it, but they
- 7:52told me no wait a second what do you have, What do you have in
- 7:55your bag blah blah blah blah. I didn't want to lie so I told
- 7:58them I had these pens in my bag. All of a sudden they RIP apart
- 8:05my bag. They go through my bag, they
- 8:08find them, they say do you have anything else?
- 8:11Please be honest with us or we might press charges.
- 8:14I said no I don't have anything. Damn, I, dude, it gets worse.
- 8:18So they tell me. So the canine guy, one of the
- 8:20guys standing at the border, he tells me, listen, this is a
- 8:23quick thing. This is usually not a problem.
- 8:25All right, I'm fine. I'm calm down.
- 8:27Brittany's screaming on the top of her lungs, telling how there
- 8:30are people bringing in through the border worse stuff than us
- 8:34there. There were people doing a lot
- 8:36worse stuff on the boat than what I had in my bag.
- 8:39OK. And this is a fact, guys,
- 8:41because we've seen it. I was watching it with my bare
- 8:43eyes. Nevertheless, they knew that,
- 8:47but they said we can't stop everybody.
- 8:48We stopped you. So they call, they call their
- 8:52their hire sergeants and they come down and I'm sitting there
- 8:56and I'm like, OK, they're going to let us go bring you, don't
- 8:58worry about it. So they say we, what we got to
- 9:02do is now we got to take the canine dogs up to your room and
- 9:06search your whole room. We want to search your whole
- 9:10room. Make sure you're not smuggling
- 9:11anything. I said wait a second.
- 9:12You told me you were just going to take my electric cigarettes.
- 9:15This is going to be a quick situation and we can go.
- 9:18Well, Sir, you know, we don't know what you're doing.
- 9:20We don't know what you're here for.
- 9:21I I'm here to party. I'm here to go to Bermuda.
- 9:24I'm here to go to your goddamn beacons.
- 9:26So I'm sitting there. Brittany starts to scream.
- 9:29I'm starting to scream. They bring us up there.
- 9:31Could you imagine going on a boat, guys, All these people
- 9:34coming off of it and you have two canine dogs going on the
- 9:38boat with you sniffing through and getting up.
- 9:41So you had to go through another security area.
- 9:44And then you, they, they're checking your, your bags inside.
- 9:47You go upstairs. People are watching everything
- 9:49that's going on and they tell you to stand out your door while
- 9:52they go in and sniff and go through your whole bags, all
- 9:55your bags, all your stuff, every single thing.
- 9:58Don't find anything. And then they tell us, Oh, we
- 10:00got to take you down and then start, we're not going to write
- 10:03a summons. We're going to write a warning.
- 10:05We go downstairs, They take us to the room for an hour.
- 10:08They're writing. They asked me for my Social
- 10:10Security. They asked me, they take
- 10:11pictures of my passport. And I'm like, wait a second,
- 10:13this is a freaking warning. And you're, you're you have me
- 10:17signing all this paperwork, you're confiscating everything
- 10:19that I have and you're telling me, listen, I'm not smuggling
- 10:22cocaine. I'm I'm not freaking the guy
- 10:25from blow. And I did say that to him.
- 10:27I said, I'm not sniffing cocaine.
- 10:28I'm not tracking in heroin. What is this?
- 10:31This is this is legalized in New York.
- 10:33I understand I made a mistake. I was honest with you.
- 10:37They said, listen, we're going to write up a report and we'll
- 10:40let you go. And I said after 2 1/2 hours,
- 10:43are you telling me it's only going to take about 20-30
- 10:45minutes? And then embarrassing us in
- 10:47front of our boat, our boat mates that for the whole rest of
- 10:50the trip, everybody kept coming up to me after I was in the hot
- 10:53man contest and every I and, and people like they would like
- 10:56just, that's all another story. I'll tell you that story
- 10:59tomorrow, but I mean Thursday. Nevertheless, they, it was
- 11:04absolutely embarrassing and for Bermuda and security and
- 11:09whatever they were trying to do there, maybe for once in their
- 11:13absolute stupid lives, they picked the right bag to go
- 11:17searching through because there were a lot worse drugs on that
- 11:21boat. A lot worse than an electric THC
- 11:24cigarette, which by the way, I never smoked and they could test
- 11:29my God damn blood. So I was embarrassed.
- 11:32Brittany was embarrassed. And then that was that day.
- 11:36So that that's the, that's the first story I'll tell you.
- 11:39It wasn't one of the funny ones. It was one of the worst ones.
- 11:42I was embarrassed. It was one of the worst
- 11:44embarrassing positions I've ever been in in my entire life.
- 11:49So was it just like random? It was random.
- 11:51They picked us out of 3000. People, yeah sure, the 15 year
- 11:55olds in the club were just fine. Now, if we went with Elena and
- 11:58John at the same time, they probably don't pick us and they
- 12:01don't pull us over. It was because I was wearing a
- 12:03Yankee hat. It was because I was from New
- 12:05York. I really do believe that.
- 12:07And by the way, we were on a boat with a lot of Philadelphia
- 12:09people. A lot of Phil.
- 12:11I know Fish doesn't want to hear it.
- 12:12There was a lot of Philadelphia people on that boat.
- 12:15I would say 75% Philadelphia, probably 25% New York and then I
- 12:22will say no, I'm sorry, 23% New York and the rest Indiana.
- 12:25I saw a couple of Indianapolis people, you know, people from
- 12:28Maine. It was very few people, but
- 12:30mainly Philadelphia, NY. So it was an interesting boat
- 12:33ride. Met a lot of people, lot of nice
- 12:35people, a lot of people that are going to be tuning in, a lot of
- 12:38people that, you know, when they asked me what show I was doing
- 12:42and stuff like that, they, they knew who you were.
- 12:44Jabba, one of one of them is a huge fan of yours.
- 12:47I grew up a big Jabba Chamberlain fan and told me to
- 12:50tell you, tell Jabba I love him and I hope everything's going
- 12:54well for himself. So I mean, there's a lot of
- 12:56people, a lot of people on that one boat that had their own
- 13:00agenda. I wasn't the one trying to
- 13:03smuggle drugs into Bermuda. So I that was that was just a
- 13:09horrible situation for me. So that was that was the tail
- 13:12end of a beginning story that I could tell you throughout the
- 13:17show. Maybe I'll add a story here and
- 13:18there and a lot of funny ones. I'll give you some funny ones,
- 13:22but that was probably the worst it it did ruin half of my
- 13:25vacation. It didn't really make the day
- 13:27very good. I got a chance to see the pink
- 13:29sand. Dude, it's not pink.
- 13:31I don't know what they're saying.
- 13:32It's more like yellow and Peach than pink.
- 13:36Where did they come up with pink sand?
- 13:38OK, it wasn't pink, just so everybody knows.
- 13:41How's the how's the food? I've never been on a cruise so I
- 13:45don't know. Foods great.
- 13:47I mean, they had steak dinners. We, we, we actually had three
- 13:50really big dinners that we had to pick from.
- 13:53So there's a lot, there's two places that you could get steak
- 13:55and there was some Italian restaurants on the boat that we
- 13:58we picked one of them. They were sushi, they were
- 14:02Chinese. And then they have the buffet,
- 14:04which you can have whatever the hell you want.
- 14:05And then they have the Manhattan, which they you get to
- 14:08order it. It's obviously a part of the
- 14:11boat ship. If you don't have a chance to,
- 14:14you don't have the money to go and spend it up to a steak
- 14:16restaurants, any of that. Everybody goes in there for
- 14:18their big fancy dinner. And by the way, it's probably
- 14:20one of the best dinners you'll have on the boat in the
- 14:23Manhattan. So a shout out to Dami and Dami
- 14:25was our a waiter when we went into the Manhattan.
- 14:29We love the guy. I, Tim, I must have tipped
- 14:32Brittany and me, must have tipped them with John and Elena
- 14:34at least $200.00, at least $200 the two or three times we were
- 14:38there. We love the guy.
- 14:39The guy was such a nice guy, Philippine, really down to
- 14:42earth, funny as hell. And Brittany probably wanted to
- 14:45jump his bones because she just thought he was sweet.
- 14:47You know, I thought he was. I don't know what he was, but
- 14:50whatever. I don't want to talk about it on
- 14:52the show. 8:45 We'll be talking to Golden State Warriors play by
- 14:56play broadcaster Tim Roy. He's been on a show.
- 14:59He is fantastic. I think everybody that loves the
- 15:02Golden State Warriors will love Tim because Timmy knows his
- 15:06stuff. He knows his Golden State
- 15:07Warriors. He's one of the best basketball
- 15:09broadcasters in the world there. There's very few people that you
- 15:14could put in the same realm as the one and only Tim Roy.
- 15:17So we we're so excited to have him on the show.
- 15:20He's been on our show quite a few times and excited.
- 15:23The Thunder win Game 7 versus the Pacers one one O 391 to win
- 15:29their very first NBA championship since relocating to
- 15:32OK C. Shay I was named the NBPNBAS
- 15:38Finals MVP, averaging 30.6 points per game 5.6 assists per
- 15:43game 4.6 rebounds per games in. In.
- 15:46In the series, Shay became the 10th player to win an NB AM VP
- 15:51and NBA Finals MVP in the same season and the first since
- 15:55LeBron in 2013. Shay also joined back Michael
- 15:59Jordan, Kareem Gul Jabbard as the only players to win MVPS and
- 16:04the scoring title in the same season.
- 16:07The Thunder became the fourth team in NBA history to win 84
- 16:13total games in a season, joining the 2015 Warriors and the Bulls
- 16:19in back-to-back years in 95 and 96.
- 16:22Tyrese Halliburton suffered an Achilles injury with five
- 16:26minutes remaining in the first quarter and likely will be out
- 16:30for the entire season next year. Albertan suffered a a calf
- 16:35injury during game five and then play 23 minutes on the injured
- 16:40calf in Game 6. With the Thunder winning the NBA
- 16:44title, there have now been seven different teams to win
- 16:49championships in seven years. First time in NBA history.
- 16:53Well congratulations to the OK C Thunder.
- 16:56I watched the game, bits and pieces of the game and
- 16:58throughout the series on the boat.
- 17:00I watched the series. It was back and forth
- 17:02basketball. It's you can't argue that this
- 17:04was a good series. 2 teams that were very evenly matched in some
- 17:08parts of the series, but the better team was the OK C
- 17:12Thunder. Now if Hal Burton stays in that
- 17:14game at Game 6, I think the Pacers win that series.
- 17:18I really do. Hal Burton was playing good
- 17:20basketball in the first quarter that those were one of those
- 17:23games that you would see Tyrese Halpern have a 3012 and 11 game
- 17:28and he has a triple double and has a world beating game against
- 17:32a guy like Shay Alexander. Well, it didn't happen.
- 17:34He goes down another great player that goes down with an
- 17:37Achilles tendon injury. We saw that against against the
- 17:40Knicks with, you know, Jason Tatum.
- 17:43Jason Tatum is going to be out next year.
- 17:45Got his his his surgery the day after.
- 17:47I expect Tyrese Halpern to have his surgery today.
- 17:50But two great players going down as fast as they did.
- 17:53You wouldn't absolutely like something like that.
- 17:56You would like to see OKC beat the best players, want to beat
- 18:00Indiana at their top and at the at their best.
- 18:03Well, things happen. We've seen this before.
- 18:05There's no excuses. And I know that's what the
- 18:07Pacers and I, and I think in the offseason, the Pacers and Rick
- 18:11Carla is going to go out and going to tell his team.
- 18:13If we had Hal Burton, we win that series and possibly could
- 18:17be true. But Shay Alexander is one of the
- 18:20best players in the league. I don't know if you can compare
- 18:23it to Michael Jordan. I know a lot of people want to
- 18:24do that and everybody's trying to find that next Michael Jordan
- 18:28as well As for years they were trying to find that other Allen
- 18:31Iverson. You can't compare and contrast
- 18:33players from different eras. What I could say about Shay
- 18:36Alexander is Shay Alexander is a killer.
- 18:39This guy goes out there, plays at the top of his game, one of
- 18:42the nicest guys on the basketball court, doesn't really
- 18:45talk much. You can see it doesn't talk much
- 18:47at the end of the game. He doesn't speak bad about the
- 18:49other players or the other team or even when they lose a game.
- 18:52Blame his teammates. That's what's impressive about
- 18:55Shay Alexander. He's special, he's fun to watch,
- 18:58and he's an offense machine. Do I think he's still the NB AM
- 19:03VP for the season? No.
- 19:05I believe Nicola Yokich was the best player in the league.
- 19:08Nevertheless, you can't take away of his success.
- 19:11This guy is one of very few people to win an MVP in a
- 19:15regular season and the MVP of the playoffs.
- 19:17And that stands out from guys like Kareem Abdul Jabbar,
- 19:21Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jordan.
- 19:23But when you look at this, this series, it was incredible.
- 19:28Indiana was not expected to make the Finals.
- 19:30OK C was OK C was one of the best teams in the league.
- 19:34They were the best team throughout the season.
- 19:35It was them and the Cavaliers. We expected that OK C was going
- 19:40to be here. At one point.
- 19:41I did it, I'll admit it. I thought the Lakers were going
- 19:43to the Finals. I thought the Golden State
- 19:46Warriors had a better chance to make it than an OK C Thunder.
- 19:49So I take back what I say about what I thought of the OK C
- 19:52Thunder being the young team that they were.
- 19:55Nevertheless, this is a very well run machine, OK?
- 20:00And Jalen Williams, say whatever you want about what Shay
- 20:04Alexander did when you talk about Batman and Robin.
- 20:08These two guys, when we compare guys like Scottie Pippen and
- 20:11Michael Jordan or even LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, this
- 20:14could be one of the top three top 4 duos we have ever seen in
- 20:19NBA history play in a final series.
- 20:22That's how good both these guys were back and forth.
- 20:26If Shay wasn't playing well in one game or 1/2, you had Jaylen
- 20:30Williams playing well in that half.
- 20:31And Jaylen Williams and Shay Alexander do things that other
- 20:35duos do not do. When you talk about Shaquille
- 20:37O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, okay, Kobe was a great defender.
- 20:41Shaquille O'Neal was not. Those are the facts.
- 20:44When you look at Shay and Jaylen Williams, these guys were
- 20:47killers defensively. They were killers offensively.
- 20:50That's the difference here. 2 dimensional, 2 players that
- 20:54could play 2 dimensional basketball and then you look at
- 20:57Tyrese Halliburton and all the players in the out, the cast
- 21:01that they had over there, It was a sensational year for them.
- 21:04They have a tremendous amount of talent and a lot of youth.
- 21:08The problem with them is they don't have the other guy.
- 21:11They have a bunch of good players behind Tyrese Halberton
- 21:14and we don't even know if Tyrese Halberton is an all world
- 21:16player. He's up and he's down.
- 21:18He has these unbelievable games though.
- 21:20We say this guy is the best point guard in the league and
- 21:23then there are games that you wonder where the hell was he in
- 21:25one of the halves? Where the hell was he in the
- 21:28whole game? So that's the problem with
- 21:30Tyrese Halberton. I, I look at this series and I
- 21:34look at all the great series over the last seven years and
- 21:36it, it's, it's an amazing stat. And that's something that's so
- 21:39interesting. The Thunder, one of seven teams
- 21:44that have won championships in the last seven years.
- 21:46When you talk about Golden State, we talk about all those
- 21:49teams over the years, the Yokage and the Denver Nuggets.
- 21:52It's an amazing feat when you look at the NBA and you look at
- 21:55them, you look at the the compare and contrast all these
- 21:59teams and, and so close together.
- 22:01It's so the talent is so close in the NBA now.
- 22:05If you look at the NHL, you look at the two best teams in the
- 22:08last two years, it's the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton
- 22:11Oilers. Go look.
- 22:13And by the way, Florida, congratulations to them.
- 22:15I haven't even been done to even get my my slacks on the the
- 22:19Florida Panthers in the greatness of what they have done
- 22:21in the last two years. But we will I will mention some
- 22:23things about the Florida Panthers a little bit later in
- 22:25the show. What I what I thought about the
- 22:29NBA playoffs that I've never, ever said is the comparable
- 22:33thought that all the teams were so close together.
- 22:36There was no top team in the playoffs as good as OKC was.
- 22:41And they won what, 84 total wins this year?
- 22:44They were a good team. But even the games that they
- 22:46won, they either either blew people out or the games are so
- 22:50very close. And and that's the thing about
- 22:52OKC, when the Thunder figures things out, when the Thunder and
- 22:57they're a young team, when they figure figure things out, they
- 23:00might be unstoppable. They could win 3-4 championships
- 23:03in a row next year. They got two first round draft
- 23:05picks. The year after they got two
- 23:07first round draft picks. This team is loaded and they're
- 23:09going to be loaded for many, many years.
- 23:11And congratulations to Chet Holgren, who was the number one
- 23:14pick in a draft a couple of years ago who can't stay
- 23:17healthy. As he admitted after the game,
- 23:20the guy showed up in game #718 points, 8 rebounds.
- 23:24He was sensational. That's what you need from a
- 23:26third player. When you talk about the three,
- 23:29the trios that we've seen over the years, the Miami Heat, do
- 23:33you remember that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh?
- 23:36Chris Bosh averaged 1718 points a game, Dwyane Wade averaged
- 23:40about 2425, and LeBron averaged at 30.
- 23:44Then you get 3 players of that magnitude giving you that many
- 23:47points and give you those kind of points in those kind of
- 23:50minutes, you're unstoppable. Unstoppable.
- 23:54And that's what OKC is. They're unstoppable.
- 23:57Heinstein gave you the defense and the boards that you needed
- 24:00offensively. And by the way, in the
- 24:02second-half of the game, they absolutely dominated on the
- 24:05offensive side of the boards. Dort was unbelievable,
- 24:09unbelievable on the boards, especially game #7 when you have
- 24:13that kind of rebounding and the defense that they played against
- 24:17Indianapolis. And I know everybody is going to
- 24:19say they didn't have Tyrese Halpern.
- 24:21Nevertheless, with or without Tyrese Halpern, even though I
- 24:24think the Pacers would have won that game, they played an
- 24:27unbelievable defensive game. And that's why, ladies and
- 24:30gentlemen, the Indiana Pacers did not win that series even
- 24:34with with or without Tyrese Halpern.
- 24:36In a lot of people's eyes. Me differently.
- 24:38Other people would probably agree that even with Tyrese
- 24:41Halpern, they don't win the series.
- 24:42Yeah, it's not definitive on on either angle because you, like
- 24:45you said, the Pacers were still able to do well in the second
- 24:48quarter with the bench unit when Halliburton probably would have
- 24:50been out of the game anyway. That's where they're a lot of
- 24:52their points came from when McConnell was shooting very
- 24:54well, Benedict Mathern in a nice game.
- 24:55That's why the Pacers were up at halftime.
- 24:57That might have not happened even if Halliburton was healthy
- 24:59too. So I think it would have
- 25:00probably evened out of that. That point you mentioned, the
- 25:02rebounding, though, that was I think the biggest key when you
- 25:04look at Game 6 to Game 7, because Chet Holmgren had a dot
- 25:07in game six. He had four points.
- 25:08He was allowing a lot of offensive rebounds, was not
- 25:11defending well inside as well against the Pacers bench
- 25:14players. And in this game, he had eight
- 25:15rebounds. A lot of the bench players as
- 25:17well, getting those tough offensive rebounds like Case on
- 25:19Wallace, Alex Caruso, another obviously unsung hero.
- 25:23He's that great guy off the bench that he had 10 points.
- 25:25He had three rebounds. Some great defense as well.
- 25:27You mentioned Door 7 rebounds and he didn't have the greatest
- 25:30offensive game, but his defense was fantastic against those
- 25:32Pacers shooting guards. Look at the Pacers shooting
- 25:34guards of their starting unit. Nesmith had just three points.
- 25:38You look at Obi topping off the bench had a goose egg.
- 25:41Ben Shepherd off the bench had a goose egg.
- 25:43Like these are not great numbers.
- 25:44And that's the biggest thing when you have Halliburton not
- 25:46scoring at that high 25 point potential that the Pacers are
- 25:49still trying to figure out. Yes, they have random bench
- 25:52players that are broken out like Nemhar, like the third in this
- 25:54game, but that's the only thing that's still holding them back
- 25:56when you don't have the volume score because the Thunder had
- 25:59that, which was Shea Shea. Shea had 3029 points in that
- 26:02game and he said 30 points most of the series.
- 26:04You had Jalen Williams and Chet Helm going, all three of them at
- 26:06the same time scoring. They can get away with that.
- 26:08The Pacers can't get away with it as much when you don't don't
- 26:10have that type of scoring factor.
- 26:12But the Pacers had a gritty game.
- 26:14You got to give them their defense, a lot of credit.
- 26:15They hung tough. They didn't.
- 26:16Allow a lot of threes in the first half.
- 26:18They had a lot of threes in the first half.
- 26:19I was saying with those bench unit guys, Mathurin led the team
- 26:22in points, 24 points, had 13 rebounds in that game, so.
- 26:25He definitely the hell is this guy too Mathurin he he goes up,
- 26:28he goes what I wanted to mix. The draft three years ago, I
- 26:30remember that. Unbelievable where this guy
- 26:32comes from. I'd never even heard of him in.
- 26:33Arizona, yeah. Through the playoffs.
- 26:36I didn't even know he even existed until the playoffs.
- 26:39And that tells you how much I watching the, the Indianapolis
- 26:42Pacers. I, I call it Indianapolis
- 26:43because that's what they're in Indiana Pacers, but they're the
- 26:46Indianapolis Pacers in my eyes. Nevertheless.
- 26:49By the way, I don't know if anybody knows this.
- 26:51The OKC Thunder are the first team in NBA history that had
- 26:54four second round draft picks in their lineup and part of the
- 26:58rotation. And three of them were G League
- 27:01players. They came from the G League and
- 27:02one of them was Alex Caruso, who actually won two NBA
- 27:06championships. So and, and by the way, that
- 27:09trade for Alex Caruso probably won them the championship
- 27:12because Alex Caruso was the unsung hero throughout the
- 27:16series, defending multiple positions, great rebounder,
- 27:19scored many different ways in this series.
- 27:22It was just fun to watch. I I mean, OK, C is young,
- 27:25they're young guns. They're they're guys that you
- 27:27expect to be here next year. I don't know in the Western
- 27:31Conference, when you look at teams like The Mavericks
- 27:33yesterday going to get Cooper flag, they might have a healthy
- 27:36Kyrie Irving at some point and and obviously Anthony Davis.
- 27:40Maybe The Mavericks will challenge them next year.
- 27:42Maybe the Lakers will make a trade and get a big time player
- 27:45to add to Luka Dodge and LeBron James.
- 27:47We all know that it's the LJA. So LeBron James getting the
- 27:50player that he wants it, it might happen.
- 27:53Jaylen Green, he went over there to the Suns.
- 27:55Do you think Jaylen Green's going to stay there with the
- 27:57Suns? Not a chance in hell.
- 27:58I expect Phoenix to trade him in the next couple of weeks, maybe
- 28:01even before the draft a week away from today.
- 28:04So. It's now the LJA with now the
- 28:06same owner with the with the Dodgers that did all the
- 28:08deferred money. So the Sky's is the limit for
- 28:11what LeBron could manipulate to bring over there to the Lakers
- 28:13if if they have it makes sense. Don't change the CVA now to
- 28:17allow the deferred money so LeBron could get what he.
- 28:18Wants, I know a lot of people don't like Jalen Green and I
- 28:21know everybody's going to say, well, Jalen Green sucked over
- 28:23there with the Rockets. If LeBron James gets a hold of
- 28:25him and gets him in his his claws, he could turn Jalen Green
- 28:28into a great player. He helped Kyrie Irving develop.
- 28:31He's helped a lot of players over the years develop.
- 28:34If he gets a guy that can lead him and lead him to stray and
- 28:36put him in a position to succeed, Jalen Green is a great
- 28:39offensive option guy that could be 1/3 option to a team that has
- 28:42LeBron James who's giving you 24 to 25 points.
- 28:45Luka Tonchik next year who lost about 30 lbs in the last couple
- 28:48of weeks last month. If you have a healthy a Luka
- 28:52Tonchik next year who's giving you 35 points and an MVP
- 28:55candidate and you have Jalen Green giving you about 1819
- 28:58points. Man, the Lakers could be
- 29:00considered one of the best teams in the Western Conference to
- 29:02challenge LKC as well. So I I mean it's, it's a lot of
- 29:05a lot of interesting things that could happen in the next couple
- 29:08of weeks. I know everybody says, well, the
- 29:10the Knicks don't have a head coach.
- 29:12The Knicks are a stupid organization.
- 29:14I will tell you this, the Knicks waited because I'm sure they're
- 29:17interested in interviewing some of the Indiana, Indiana coaches
- 29:21and probably some of the OK C Thunder coaches.
- 29:24But All in all, I think it's they know who they're going to
- 29:26hire. It's going to be Johnny Bryant.
- 29:28You'll I expect it to happen in the next week before the draft.
- 29:32And don't be, don't be surprised if that happens.
- 29:34But stop crying, Knick fans. There's a lot more and a lot of
- 29:37other teams that should be crying more than you.
- 29:39Yeah, going back to OK, CI just want to finish up with this
- 29:41before you go Java. They also had the for a young
- 29:43team, the adversity aspect that I think was something that I I
- 29:46questioned too. I also picked the Lakers at the
- 29:48start of the postseason to go to the playoffs, go to the finals
- 29:50because I thought LeBron Luca being there together, the
- 29:53Celtics, I had repeating. I was thinking that was going to
- 29:55happen. But again, OKC young last year
- 29:57and they end up losing the five seed.
- 29:58I think that nugget series really gave them a sense of
- 30:00adversity when they were losing on all those buzzer buzzer
- 30:02beaters when they had the collapse the way they did and
- 30:05then they blow him out in game seven.
- 30:07I think that gave him a sense of confidence and Shay Fish, you
- 30:09were talking about it before we went on the air shot 8 for 27,
- 30:13but he still. Did so.
- 30:13Many other things very well. He got 12 assists.
- 30:16He still was playing great defense.
- 30:17I don't know how Burton was out. Halliburton does lead the
- 30:19Pacers. It's definitely possible.
- 30:20But again, this was the game that was one with defense, which
- 30:23is the identity that that the Thunder want to bring.
- 30:25And they still have the dots throughout the whole throughout
- 30:28the whole game on the defensive side of the ball.
- 30:30A tale of two halves defense we knew is going to somehow just
- 30:34bottle them up because for I think it was 6 or 7 minutes into
- 30:40the third quarter, nobody else scored except TJ McConnell.
- 30:46And there's no chance you're going to win.
- 30:48And as soon as, as soon as I I saw it and then I was like, OK,
- 30:52well, it's been 4 minutes. They scored, it's been 5
- 30:55minutes. And I'm like, it's going to turn
- 30:57into a blowout. And it just goes to the depth in
- 31:00the defensive, just prowess that they had and just the
- 31:03aggressiveness. And I mean, it's tough.
- 31:06I mean, you have to play through adversity, obviously in any
- 31:09sport, no matter what. But being in a Game 7, having
- 31:12that happen like that, we've seen it before and it, it's
- 31:15never easy. And you got to have guys step up
- 31:19and they, they just didn't, they ran out of the gas.
- 31:22I mean, you could see how tired TJ was, you know, in the in the
- 31:26second-half towards the end, because he was trying to do
- 31:29everything. He went off for a while and it
- 31:32it was fun to watch, but nobody else was doing anything.
- 31:36They were, you know, just they're getting to the cup.
- 31:39But when you have guys that are athletic as SGA and then Chet
- 31:43obviously doing what he did yesterday and how he is way more
- 31:48athletic than I thought defensively and how he would
- 31:50switch off guys and and protect the rim.
- 31:53And obviously half the time he didn't have to jump.
- 31:55He just kind of had to go on his tip toes.
- 31:57But it was just it it was fun game, but then you just kind of
- 32:02knew how it was going to play out and it and it played out
- 32:05like I'm just glad they didn't get blown out by like 30 and he
- 32:09just. But Pacers bench was still
- 32:10there. They were doing enough to keep
- 32:11him in the game in the. Second well, and then they, they
- 32:13couldn't get a bucket. They they got it down to 12 with
- 32:16like 6 minutes to go. I'm like we they still got a
- 32:18chance, but then they just couldn't make a bucket.
- 32:21And then they hit a big three and you know, they get to the
- 32:24line. But when you force 21 turnovers
- 32:26and you only have 6, that just tells you what it is.
- 32:30And hats off to Chet because he was Doo Doo magoo in Game 6.
- 32:36That's a good take right there. That's a good cut up Doo.
- 32:39Doo, I don't think you're all. Serious, that's my butt.
- 32:43And so good for him. And and it was it was cool to
- 32:47see like everybody celebrating. He goes over to Silver and like
- 32:51he wanted to just touch, like everybody was celebrating, but
- 32:55he would go over and just touch the trophy and then, you know,
- 32:57got pictures with his family and, you know, just was very
- 33:00candid about him not staying healthy.
- 33:02And I wasn't really sold on him when he and then obviously he
- 33:05gets hurt. So you're like, oh, another one
- 33:07of these. But hats off to him for working
- 33:09his butt off and expanding his game and, you know, getting
- 33:13better. So we'll see what happens.
- 33:15I'm sure they got plenty of corn in Indiana also, but they're not
- 33:19going to have a great basketball team next year without
- 33:22Halliburton, man. And that for me as a Knicks fan,
- 33:26I, I was really upset with Halliburton, obviously his
- 33:29antics during the series, but you don't want to see a guy go
- 33:32out like this. There's some people that are
- 33:33kind of reveling in this a little too much.
- 33:36One of our fans was who was who was put up there.
- 33:40Kevin was a little, little too happy about the injury.
- 33:43Look, don't be too happy about the injury.
- 33:44That's what karma is. He's like, oh, it's karma.
- 33:46Like, no, no, you saying it's karma is going to mean something
- 33:49bad's going to happen to the Knicks now.
- 33:51So don't do that, Kevin. The Knicks need to have this
- 33:54wide open E next year. Who who's better than the Knicks
- 33:57right now going into next season, Even if they don't do
- 34:01anything? Because everyone's, that's a
- 34:04key. A key guy is hurt other than the
- 34:07Cavs. And I'm not super afraid of the
- 34:09Cavs. But that's doesn't this actually
- 34:11upset you? Because think about it, if
- 34:13Indiana is bad next year, if India, they'll be a playoff
- 34:16borderline player. But if they're not, they fall
- 34:18off next year, they're going to get a top lottery pick next year
- 34:22with Hal Burton coming back and the team that they have
- 34:24together. Same thing with the a guy A-Team
- 34:26like the Boston Celtics. They could be really, really
- 34:29bad. Jaylen Brown could go.
- 34:30They're here. I'm hearing stories that Jaylen
- 34:32Brown I yes, Kobe's wife or there's some stories coming out
- 34:36that he could be dating Kobe did hear that that could be
- 34:38happening. I don't really care about that.
- 34:40I know everybody keeps saying, but Jaylen Brown, there are
- 34:42stories coming out that Boston might let Jaylen Brown go and
- 34:44get his knee surgery in the offseason.
- 34:46That means he could be out at half a season.
- 34:48Boston could be really, really, really bad next year and they
- 34:52could get a lottery pick. Could you imagine what that team
- 34:54is going to be the year after if they have a healthy Jason Tatum,
- 34:57Jalen Brown and whoever they draft in next year's draft?
- 35:00Draft a Boozer Brother, by the way, is one of the best.
- 35:03Worry about that when we get it's going to be 1 swanted next
- 35:06to have a chance. They've got such a good chance
- 35:09they'll go into next year. They'll choke like they always
- 35:11do unfortunately. We'll see who the coach is.
- 35:14I hope they have a little bit more of a creative defensive
- 35:16system if they're going to stay with Towns and Robinson because
- 35:20obviously, like, look, the Knicks, those guys didn't play
- 35:22together. They were all hurt at different
- 35:24points of the season. So they never ran that Robinson
- 35:27Towns lineup until they got to the playoffs.
- 35:30So it just you need to play together if you're going to run
- 35:33any kind of defensive system, especially the really like
- 35:36dependent on each other system. Tibbs had it, it just wasn't
- 35:39going to work. And I think we saw it at the
- 35:41worst time by a coach who knew how to exploit it.
- 35:43Carlisle deserves all the credit in the world for getting that
- 35:47team to to really get to that point.
- 35:49I I don't think you can give all the credit to Halliburton.
- 35:52I think Carlisle deserves a whole lot of credit.
- 35:55I mean, we were talking about it last week, Carol, he got he
- 35:58think about what he did. He was able to defeat the coach
- 36:01of the year in at the Cavs with what's with our buddy?
- 36:08I can't forget his name right now, Kenny Atkins, Cavs coach
- 36:11Kenny, our boy Kenny. Then he beats the Knicks so bad
- 36:14Tibbs gets fired and then he goes to game seven and only
- 36:19loses. And I, and I don't know, I the
- 36:22way Halliburton was playing, it looked like it was going to be
- 36:24one of those 30 point triple double S when he hit those 3
- 36:27threes from way downtown like he was Steph Curry to start the
- 36:30game. My God, it looked like we're
- 36:33about to see it again. And I think that's the only
- 36:37reason they lose. I think he coached almost a
- 36:39perfect playoffs, you know, as good as you possibly can coach,
- 36:43and I think he deserves all the credit.
- 36:45He he deserves a lot of credit and nobody's going to take away
- 36:47from Rick Carl. I know Choppa says.
- 36:49He was part of those Boston teams.
- 36:51I could care less because he barely played.
- 36:52We know he's a great basketball mind.
- 36:54There's no question he's a great basketball mind.
- 36:56And, and me and Fish were talking about it.
- 36:58I think it was yesterday or today we were talking.
- 37:01About it today. That he probably is a top 2
- 37:04coach right now in the NBA. Him and Spoelstra, you can
- 37:07argue, are the two best coaches in the NBA, and I don't think
- 37:10he's better than Spoelstra because Bolstra has done it with
- 37:13multiple teams and he's an impressive with eight seeds.
- 37:16Yeah, he's impressive. He's an impressive coach.
- 37:19Pat Riley disciple And a lot of those guys, look at their
- 37:22stories coming out that Jeff Van Gundy is interviewing for the
- 37:25Nick coach again. Oh yeah, coaching job again.
- 37:27So I don't want Jeff Van Gundy's an old man.
- 37:29I don't want the old, the old you.
- 37:31Know I'd rather have him on TV calling the game than what the
- 37:34crap we had watched for that entire series.
- 37:36I've also heard, Oh my God, did you hear that Stephen A Smith is
- 37:40is pushing for for Mark Jackson? I don't want Mark Jackson for
- 37:44one reason. Mark Jackson is a great
- 37:46personality. But in front of the press here
- 37:48in New York, he will make a mockery out of the New York
- 37:51Knicks. If the Knicks start to lose, it
- 37:54will be really, really bad. So.
- 37:56And they will Mark Jackson. I'm just saying they'll drop the
- 37:59hammer on Mark Jackson over here pretty quickly.
- 38:01He'll be like Derek Fisher. Yeah.
- 38:03How quick Derek Fisher was in and out because he was sleeping
- 38:05with other people's wives. That's what's going to happen, I
- 38:07don't think. Mark Jackson.
- 38:09By the way, does anybody know the story about Mark Jackson
- 38:11Jackson after he got fired, he was out New York and he was
- 38:14going senile and he was talking about like Jesus Christ being
- 38:18rebirthed and something like that.
- 38:19He was on a video and embarrassed himself.
- 38:22Like he really embarrassed himself when it came to
- 38:24preaching about certain things and the devil.
- 38:27I mean, I don't want Mark Jackson going out there in the
- 38:29public eye saying something stupid that's going to make us
- 38:32look bad, worse than we always do as New Yorkers.
- 38:35So I don't want Mark Jackson for all the people, you know,
- 38:39speaking about Mark Jackson being the next head coach for
- 38:41the next. But then again, Rick Carlisle is
- 38:43a sensational coach. You got to give him a lot of
- 38:45credit. And and again, the Pacers
- 38:47deserve a lot of credit for all the trials and tribulations
- 38:49they've had all season long, the injuries that they've had, the
- 38:52comebacks that they've had and the way they shot the ball when
- 38:56they needed to hit threes and big threes, they did it.
- 38:59The problem with the NBA, you'll ride with the three.
- 39:02You die with the three. And that's what happened with
- 39:04the Indiana. And that's why I think the NBA
- 39:07and the LJA, whatever you want to call it, is impossible to
- 39:10understand these three-point lines.
- 39:13Eventually, I've been hearing stories that the NBA could try
- 39:15to fit that tournament, a four point line where you could shoot
- 39:184 point shots. I do not want to see that.
- 39:21The NBA needs to stop this disgrace of a basketball game
- 39:25when it comes to, oh, now everybody's going to be chucking
- 39:28up four points. You know, hey, it's four point.
- 39:30Remember rocking Jock on Mt Yeah?
- 39:33I remember the. Rocket jock game, well an NBA
- 39:35jam. They used to have the hot spots
- 39:37where you can like dunk from like for an 8 pointer from like
- 39:40the behind the line or so behind the half court.
- 39:43It is all so stupid and I agree. And Errol, I was actually
- 39:46talking to a high school basketball coach today who just
- 39:50went to me. He's like, I don't watch the NBI
- 39:51was like you see the game last night and he goes, I don't watch
- 39:53the NBA. It's like I can't deal with just
- 39:56these three pointers, 3 pointers killing the game.
- 39:58And he's an old man. So he's gotten to the point
- 40:00where he remembers the game for probably about 30 plus years
- 40:03without, without a shot clock, without, you know, a three-point
- 40:07line and he just hates what we were talking about.
- 40:09I'm like, look, you know, it's when they we have that 5 outlook
- 40:13when you have all the teams running it, everyone's just
- 40:15standing around the perimeter. Even goal, even OKC is doing it.
- 40:18It's just Shea dribbling at the top of the key or coming off
- 40:21from an angle and there's a like maybe 1.
- 40:23One action like screen, you know, screen away.
- 40:25It's nothing crazy. They don't do anything that used
- 40:28to be like intricate like we used to see.
- 40:30There's very few teams running a motion offense like Popovich did
- 40:33for a number of years where there's, you know, and you can
- 40:36go back and teams that used to do more different, like the
- 40:39triangle offense where it's just the balls moving.
- 40:42So it's entertaining basketball and guys are cutting, guys are
- 40:45in the post and setting, you know, screens in the post.
- 40:48We don't see any of that anymore.
- 40:49We just see whoever's got the best shooting night and whoever
- 40:52can play the best perimeter defense is the winner, and it's
- 40:56not as fun of a game, and that sucks.
- 40:58It's boring and that's why I don't like watching it in the
- 41:00regular season. Nobody cares about the regular
- 41:02season. What the I think they need the
- 41:05fix it. Errol to me is a legal offense
- 41:08like they used to have a legal defense defense.
- 41:10No more five out. You cannot have a 5 out.
- 41:13Set bringing, hand checking back to the NBA.
- 41:15That would be fun. That's what you want to see.
- 41:17And, and stop with these flagrant ones and flagrant twos
- 41:21and technical fouls. Let the game be a little bit
- 41:24more rougher, Make the game a little bit more fun.
- 41:26When the game was like that in the 90s, it was fun to watch
- 41:29Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley swinging at each other.
- 41:32I want to see that Kenny, you know, Kenny the Jet Smith, you
- 41:35know, cursing out, you know, Vernon Maxwell because he tried
- 41:39to hip check them when he was going up for a layup.
- 41:41That's what I want to see. That's what what made the game
- 41:44so fun to watch. Now you watch, you put a pinky
- 41:47on LeBron James, he's going up and shooting 2 free throws.
- 41:50I don't want to see it anymore. Or Steph Curry shooting up a
- 41:53three and because he's flopping and topping one of the worst
- 41:57James Harden, Mr. Flopper himself, he chucks up threes and
- 42:01then he's going to the free throw line shooting three, you
- 42:04know, 3 free throws. I don't want to see that.
- 42:06It's an easy 3 points and that gives teams much better chances
- 42:09to winning games, especially in the regular season.
- 42:12None of these young kids even care about that.
- 42:14It's fantasy sports and money making Jabba.
- 42:17You know all about it is what could you bring to me when it
- 42:20comes to my pockets as I was on the boat and a cruise trip?
- 42:24What are they doing all practically 90% of the time they
- 42:27were gambling. That's what they were doing on
- 42:29the boat. Gamble, gamble, gamble, gobble
- 42:32gobble gobble like the chicken always do.
- 42:34Or the rooster. You know all that cops anyways.
- 42:37That's the next one. No, that's the turkeys.
- 42:39Well. Wait a second.
- 42:41Roosters are not turkeys? Well, they're.
- 42:43The ones the gobble. Well, yeah, turkeys gobble.
- 42:47Whatever. Anyways, ESPN reports that Kevin
- 42:50Durant is being traded to the Rockets, his fourth different
- 42:55team since leaving the Thunder in 2016.
- 42:58The Suns will get back the number 10 overall pick in this
- 43:03year's draft, 5 second round draft picks and guard Jalen
- 43:08Green. And yes, once again, he's going
- 43:11somewhere else. The one and only Dylan Brooks.
- 43:13Reports say that the Rockets Spurs any Heat where 3 landing
- 43:17spots for Durant preferred to be traded to.
- 43:21Durant also mentioned wanting to go to the Rockets because of his
- 43:25relationship with his head coach Imei Udoka.
- 43:30Yes, I said it right. From his team where the Nets and
- 43:34USA Basketball, Durant was the best in the NBA this year with
- 43:4049.7% shooting percentage on jump shots and 53.1% in mid
- 43:46range shots. The Rockets were 24th in the NBA
- 43:51this year in affected field goals, percentage on jump shots
- 43:56and 27th on shots off the dribble, something Durant is
- 44:01very strong at. After the trade, the Rockets,
- 44:04betting odd to win next year's NBA title, was 18 to one, second
- 44:09highest only behind the Thunder. What are they on?
- 44:13Drugs. I love Kevin Durant.
- 44:16He's a great player. Besides his Twitter pics or his
- 44:19Twitter feeds, I love Kevin Durant, his nonsense off the
- 44:23court and his greatness on the basketball court.
- 44:26This is not the Kevin Durant when he was 2829 or even 30.
- 44:30This is Kevin Durant who's 36 years old this year.
- 44:34He's an old man, OK, He's a good player.
- 44:37He still can shoot the three. He's still one of the more
- 44:40efficient guys that you would expect that gets the ball and
- 44:43shoots the ball. The the problem with Kevin
- 44:45Durant is he gets hurt too much. The problem right now with the
- 44:48Rockets, they gave away depth. Dylan Brooks is a good defender.
- 44:51Dylan Brooks is a good enforcer. You losing Dylan Brooks and
- 44:55Jalen Green and the 10th overall pick, you're not looking towards
- 44:59this year's draft saying Oh well, the Rockets still can add
- 45:02a piece with Kevin Durant and the players that they have where
- 45:05they can get over the hump. Here's the problem right now
- 45:08with the Western Conference, as much as they're 18 to 1 betting
- 45:11favorites, that doesn't mean crap.
- 45:13And by the way, everybody that's says, hey, you know what,
- 45:15there's something about Vegas that they know something that we
- 45:18don't. Here's what Vegas is trying to
- 45:20try to persuade you that, look, the LJA doesn't know what the
- 45:24organization and the product is going to do in the offseason to
- 45:28help LeBron James. Because we all know LeBron James
- 45:32is going to get something out of this.
- 45:34As we see Cooper flag go to The Mavericks when they are 1.8%
- 45:38percentage chance to get the number one pick.
- 45:41Just think about it, 1.8%, that's 98%.
- 45:46There was a 98% chance they couldn't get Cooper flag and
- 45:50they got the number one pick. Why?
- 45:52Because the LJA and LeBron James got what he wanted.
- 45:55Luca friggin Dodgek. That's what happened, ladies and
- 45:59gentlemen. But nevertheless, you go back
- 46:02and you look at this situation and and I like, like I said, I'm
- 46:05going to go back to Kevin Durant.
- 46:06I like him. A lot of Knick fans would have
- 46:08rathered him going to the Knicks.
- 46:10What were the Knicks willing to give up to get Kevin Durant, OG
- 46:13and Anobi? I've heard Michael Bridges, I
- 46:16heard that could be involved in Miles McBride was another name
- 46:20that we could have been involved with that trade.
- 46:22Mitchell Robertson or the Knick fans just absolutely adore.
- 46:25Do you want to give up two pieces or three pieces to the
- 46:29puzzle to get a Kevin Durant, who, by the way, didn't want to
- 46:33come to the Knicks when he had a chance to come to the Knicks
- 46:35when he couldn't, he he decided to go to the Nets to play with
- 46:38Kyrie Irving and then drew out James Harden.
- 46:41What a debacle that was. The fact is Kevin Durant isn't
- 46:45the same Kevin Durant and Kevin Durant couldn't do it himself.
- 46:48Kevin Durant is now going to a Rockets team that has who?
- 46:52Who's the other guy on this roster?
- 46:54Sweetie? Please tell me who is the other
- 46:56guy on this roster that you that scares you when it come it comes
- 47:02to making a run for an NBA title Please.
- 47:04The next the next best player you're looking at scoring wise
- 47:08is probably Van Vleet. Overall it's.
- 47:09Probably Van Vleet. San San Grun's the next best
- 47:12player. San Grun is the best all around
- 47:13player. For sure.
- 47:15Yeah, big man. You're going to tell me this
- 47:19guy, he is a game. They got a big man and they got
- 47:22a, they got a guard in Van Vleet who's been there for a title
- 47:26stop. He's he won a title in Toronto.
- 47:28Wasn't the guy there but you know.
- 47:30They've been trying to trade Van Vleet for the last two years at
- 47:33the trade downline. They don't even want him there.
- 47:36This is a crock. And I don't I don't want to sit
- 47:38here and just say that Kevin Durant didn't want that to
- 47:41happen with the Suns. When they added the pieces that
- 47:43they had with Bradley Beal over there and Booker, they had a
- 47:46better trio over there than he does over here with the Rocket.
- 47:50I understand e-mail. Adoka is a good coach.
- 47:54Great. He also likes to get into other
- 47:56people's pants. You know, he's married and he
- 47:58likes to jump ship every single time.
- 48:00Hey, does he have hoes in different area codes?
- 48:02Maybe we should ask his wife. Nevertheless, I could care less.
- 48:06The fact right now is Kevin Durant is heading to the Houston
- 48:09Rockets. I know Jamie Lee, you don't like
- 48:11it, or maybe you do. I know you're a Rockets fan.
- 48:14The fact is, Rocket fans cannot be happy.
- 48:17Do we remember the last OKC, OKC, Thunder player that have
- 48:20gone to the Rockets, Huh. Let's go back.
- 48:23Russell Westbrook was over there with James Harden.
- 48:25How did that work out? Please tell me they were both
- 48:29there. Both of them.
- 48:31Both of them were there playing with each other.
- 48:33How did that debacle work out for them?
- 48:36It didn't. James Harden a bull hog, Russell
- 48:39Westbrook a bull hog. You also had Chris Paul there.
- 48:41How did that work out that they had better teams and better
- 48:45players there and and Kevin Durant there?
- 48:47What does that do for the organization?
- 48:50It doesn't do nothing and I don't know why anybody,
- 48:53including Vegas, thinks they're the 18 to 1 favorites out of the
- 48:57Western Conference. How about Denver, You're going
- 48:59to tell me Denver's not getting a pieces in the offseason and
- 49:02maybe trade away pieces? I've heard that Jamal Murray
- 49:04could be traded in the offseason.
- 49:06Teams interested in bringing in a point guard to help them out.
- 49:09You put another piece with a guy like Yokich, Are you kidding me?
- 49:12You're going to give them the 18-1 favorites, the second best
- 49:15team to come out of the West. What are you on drugs?
- 49:18LJA, ladies and gentlemen. That's what I'm saying.
- 49:21Vegas and the LJA. Who's sleeping with who?
- 49:24Is Adam Silver sleeping with somebody over there in Vegas or
- 49:28his ears flying away like Dumbo? He looked terrible by the way he
- 49:32went up there carrying that freaking trophy.
- 49:34His ears, one of his ears were bigger than the freaking trophy.
- 49:37I mean, honestly, his nose really stuck out too.
- 49:40He looks like Poke Pinocchio. I, I just, I, I am so tired of
- 49:44Adam Silver and, and the NBA and these executives thinking that
- 49:49this is a great sport and this is a great product that they
- 49:53have. Now I'll go back to what I said.
- 49:55I know everybody's going to look at me and say, wait a second,
- 49:57Errol, you just said the product has been the best, I mean the
- 50:01closest that it's ever been. Here's the problem.
- 50:04Doesn't he look like Dracula? Oh man, he looks so bad.
- 50:06He he dude, He is one of the goofiest looking guys I've ever
- 50:09seen. All right, he is goofy, but
- 50:11nevertheless, he is goofy. He almost took over for Disney
- 50:15for as the CEO of Disney, he's perfect.
- 50:19So that's how he left. It was pretty good it.
- 50:21Was pretty good. Thank you.
- 50:22I appreciate it. Anyways, getting back to the NBA
- 50:26and the way the NBA works, I love those bad those bad guy
- 50:30teams, the Lakers of the 80's, the the Celtics of the 80's, the
- 50:33the 90s or even the late 80's, the Detroit Pistons or the
- 50:37Chicago Bulls or the, the Rockets were very likeable team.
- 50:40So I can't say they were the mean people.
- 50:42Even even San Antonio, they were a team that you cheered on
- 50:45because nobody, you know, everybody like Gregg Popovich
- 50:48and Tim Duncan was a quiet guy that went out there and played
- 50:50the game. But you like those bad guys, The
- 50:52Lakers of the nine of the early 2000s with Kobe Bryant, the
- 50:56assassin that he was, Mamba before he became the Mamba and
- 51:00Shaquille O'Neal doesn't shut his mouth.
- 51:01I'm like Diesel, I'm going to take the hope and shove it up
- 51:04your ass. You know those kind of guys.
- 51:06There was always those teams that you love to hate.
- 51:08LeBron James with the Miami Heat, remember that with Dwyane
- 51:12Wade and Chris Bosh, you love to hate those teams.
- 51:15Even the LeBron James of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, you hated
- 51:18those teams. The NBA don't have that anymore.
- 51:21Who do you hate? You have Indiana and Halpern
- 51:24choking when he's playing in Madison Square Garden.
- 51:27Am I really that scared of Tyrese Halpern and the crap that
- 51:30they have over there? OK C is a good young team.
- 51:33Do you think OK C is going to win the championship next year?
- 51:36Right now, when you look at the numbers and the statistics, you
- 51:39probably say no, they're they don't have that.
- 51:42That assassin over there. Shay is a great player.
- 51:45Is he really that much of an assassin over there for the
- 51:47Thunder? For that, you could say, oh,
- 51:49man, they're going to absolutely win another title.
- 51:52There's a lot of questions there.
- 51:53So I mean, I know Fish is sitting here laughing and happy
- 51:58that the Knicks have the best chance to win the East and maybe
- 52:01go on to go to the NBA Finals. I just, I don't trust the Knicks
- 52:06and I don't trust the NBA because there's no team out
- 52:09there that scares me and says, hey, you know what?
- 52:12I don't want to play that team next year.
- 52:14I don't want to play because they have that assassin.
- 52:16They have Shay Alexander that really scares me.
- 52:18He's a great offensive player, but he doesn't scare me.
- 52:21That's why Hal Burton, I thought was the assassin of this series,
- 52:25even though Shay was the better player when Hal Burton took over
- 52:29certain games, I think people, some people remember what Shay
- 52:32was. I mean, what Hal Burton was
- 52:34doing in this series when he took over some of those games,
- 52:37then Shay Alexander when he he was averaging 2829 points in
- 52:41this series. So I that's the only problem
- 52:44right now in the NBA. There's no assassin team that
- 52:46everybody wants to beat, nobody. Golden State.
- 52:49I hated Golden State. Everybody hated Golden State
- 52:51when they were they will have Kevin Durant and and Steph Curry
- 52:56and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
- 52:58There's nothing out there right now in the NBA that the NBA
- 53:02provides where it says, hey, I want to play that team.
- 53:06And that's the problem right now with the LJA LeBron James
- 53:09Association. LeBron James has taken this
- 53:12product and shoved it up his ass.
- 53:14And that's what makes them the. Lakers.
- 53:16Yeah, the Lakers might be the most hateable team for that
- 53:18reason. Yes.
- 53:19Like I always gave up the booty. As LeBron James always gives up
- 53:23the boot. And another thing.
- 53:24Let's go ask P Diddy for that. You know the other thing?
- 53:26There's a lot of those other thing they gave up the boot.
- 53:28Maybe too soon. Maybe too soon.
- 53:33Bad. Bend over.
- 53:34Bend over. LeBron.
- 53:35OK. Oh, P What's that?
- 53:40Are you happy to see me? That thing is a little small
- 53:42there. Are you still doing the goofy
- 53:44voice? I think it just it just kept
- 53:48carrying on. Honestly as long as she's using
- 53:50dude wipes and taking care of my 2 hole I'm good.
- 53:53Goofy would ever use dude wipes. I don't know.
- 53:56I mean, we should promote that for Disney.
- 53:58You know, Dude wipe, Disney, dude wipes, Disney, Dude wipes,
- 54:02you know, with Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, all of them, Donald
- 54:05Duck, you know, that kind of stuff.
- 54:08Who's quacking, ladies and gentlemen?
- 54:10I'm quacking. I have to go on that boat ride.
- 54:13Cruise. Thank you, I almost lost lost my
- 54:16son at Disney. Oh geez.
- 54:18I don't want to know the story. I don't.
- 54:20Want the story? So no, he was.
- 54:21He was hiding in the in the clothes, like the shirts, the
- 54:25shirts. What you.
- 54:26Should he was he was like he was like 4.
- 54:29You sure Minnie wasn't trying to steal him?
- 54:32No, we found him. He was.
- 54:35He was playing like peekaboo. Oh God.
- 54:38Peekaboo ICU. That's a good one.
- 54:40That's a good draw. Peekaboo peeky boom, that's.
- 54:44Right, I gave up to be there. So, Errol, would you say it was
- 54:47a successful trip despite all this stuff?
- 54:51I, you know, everybody's going to sit here and tell me, Errol,
- 54:53stop putting down the trip. There are good parts of the trip
- 54:57that I can talk about, and there are a lot of bad ones and.
- 55:00OK, better question is, would you do it again?
- 55:02No, not not that. Not Norwegian.
- 55:04I will never go on a Norwegian cruise ship ever again.
- 55:09And and no SO. You haven't.
- 55:10You haven't banged it all together.
- 55:12No, I'm not going to bang it. And if I'm going to bang it, I'm
- 55:14going to bang it 3 or 4 times. I'm just not going to bang it
- 55:17with that. And, and if a cruise ship had a
- 55:19tailpipe, I'm not banging it. OK, I'm moving away from the
- 55:22tailpipe before it bangs me. It by the by the way, I have
- 55:26pictures of a rock almost raping me.
- 55:28That's a whole another story over there in Bermuda.
- 55:31These pictures, if I show you these pictures, it would look
- 55:33like I was getting banged in the ass by a rock.
- 55:36Just saying. It really does.
- 55:37I told Brittany I was like, what the hell are you doing that
- 55:40looks Now, those pictures are horrible.
- 55:42It really looks and my face is that I'm making it looks like
- 55:45the, the, the, the rocks funding me.
- 55:47Excuse my language, but that's what it looks like.
- 55:49It is a horrible sight. Let me tell you, I'll show you
- 55:52guys the picture. I'll send it in a group message.
- 55:54Tell me if it doesn't look like the rocks raping me.
- 55:57So and she laughs at it all the time.
- 55:58I say, who told you to take that picture?
- 56:00I'm not even looking up. I'm looking down and I'm making
- 56:03these faces because I'm trying to the the rock was so sharp.
- 56:06It was sticking me, you know, in in areas I can't even tell you.
- 56:10Inevitable. I thought, I thought at first he
- 56:12meant like the rock that you saw in Bermuda, not like a rock.
- 56:16Rock, A big, huge rock was stabbing me in the ass.
- 56:19Yes, and I was making these weird phases.
- 56:21Yeah. So anyways, I'm sorry, guys, I'm
- 56:24sorry I cursed, but it was an interesting Norwegian trip and I
- 56:29definitely would probably never do Norwegian again.
- 56:32We got to do. I want to tell this.
- 56:34We have to. I said got to.
- 56:36We have to do a trip with all of us and our significant others.
- 56:41Speedy, you can have your hands. That could be.
- 56:43We could dress your hand up as your significant others, you
- 56:46know, Or you know what? You could take Tommy as your
- 56:48guest. You know, you could sleep
- 56:50together in a bed. What do you think, Tommy?
- 56:52I think that would be cool. That is a hard pass.
- 56:55Well, you snore loud enough. I think Speedy Speedy's the most
- 56:58quiet sleeper. He curls up, dude.
- 57:02He curls up in a bowl. It's like, it's like I've never
- 57:05seen a fish. You've seen him.
- 57:07He curls up in this little. Ball.
- 57:08So like a little, I don't know what, I saw him.
- 57:10He looked like Frankenstein's monster waking up straight up
- 57:15like this. And it was it was interesting.
- 57:19It was an interesting. It was late at night, though.
- 57:21It was. It was late at night.
- 57:23Yeah, if he. He doesn't sleep much though I
- 57:25heard. No, not until four, 5:00 and
- 57:28then he'll sleep all the way to 1212 in the afternoon.
- 57:31At one. You'll have to really smack him
- 57:32around or even spill water or even piss on his face.
- 57:35I didn't do that. OK, so I But if he did that, I'd
- 57:38probably wake him up, right? Speedy?
- 57:40Would that wake you up? No.
- 57:41No. You would be sleeping if I
- 57:43pissed on you. I.
- 57:44Don't know, probably wake up. No.
- 57:49Just like Kevin Durant's going to wake up the Rockets when he
- 57:54moves on over to them, could you?
- 57:57Imagine that. Do we really think that this is
- 57:58going to lead to anything other than like a low playoff seed in
- 58:01the first round exit? I don't think they're going to
- 58:03be a low playoff seed. I think they're going to be.
- 58:06The West is stacked 1/5. Like as bad as the East is, as
- 58:10good as the West is next year. I think they're fifth or sixth
- 58:13seed. That's where I think the Rockets
- 58:15are now. If Kevin Durant stays healthy
- 58:17and he plays 68 games, I think the Rockets are a fourth seed.
- 58:23That's where I think they are. But I don't expect Kevin Durant
- 58:25to play 68 games. I'll be very surprised if Kevin
- 58:28Durant plays 4850 games. And what that tells me is when
- 58:31you're looking at the talent that they have around them,
- 58:33unless they're planning to add another piece this offseason, I
- 58:37I just don't see it. I don't know where Vegas
- 58:40believes that they're an 18 one favorite to come out of the
- 58:43West. It just doesn't make any sense.
- 58:45So I agree with you. They're stacked.
- 58:47The Western Conference is stacked.
- 58:48And we're going to have Mr. Roy coming on and I mean, and, and
- 58:52he's going to, I'm sure he's going to have his take to it
- 58:56because Tim has been on a show before and over the years.
- 59:00He said what, you know, he thought the Golden State
- 59:02Warriors are going to be, he mentioned that Meyer, I, I think
- 59:04it was like 3 or 4 years ago, Speedy, if I'm not mistaken, he
- 59:07said that Meyer was thinking about stepping down.
- 59:09Yeah, he did. First time we had him on within
- 59:112020. Yeah, and, and he said that once
- 59:13that happens, Golden State's going to start to get rid of
- 59:17pieces and, and start to rebuild.
- 59:19And they haven't. I'm not going to say they have
- 59:22one because they haven't, but they've they've come close.
- 59:26But they haven't gotten over the hump since Meyer left when they
- 59:28beat the the Boston Celtics in the Finals that year.
- 59:32And it's it's it's now your transition.
- 59:34You're bringing Jimmy buckets. You still have Steph there.
- 59:36I think if I was the Golden State Warriors and I that's
- 59:39something I want to talk about with Roy.
- 59:41Do you trade Steph Curry? Do you you try to get as much as
- 59:44you can for Steph Curry to rebuild?
- 59:46I I think they should. They they can't do.
- 59:48It'd be like trading Jet Derek Jeter.
- 59:50You can't do that. Well, wait a second.
- 59:51If you're a team in an organization that might be, I
- 59:56don't know, a team that is more than two players away, why would
- 1:00:00you ride or die with Steph Curry that has maybe two or three
- 1:00:03years left, maybe at best? He's but he's not the guy you're
- 1:00:07training because that skill shooting, even if he can't be
- 1:00:10the one that creates the shots later on in his career, he's
- 1:00:13going to be able to do that for a long time, right?
- 1:00:15He could be his catch and shoot guy off the bench for 20 points
- 1:00:18in like 15 minutes when he's 43. If he really wanted to, he's not
- 1:00:22going to want to. I don't think you're not going
- 1:00:23to wait. He's only he's 30, but now he
- 1:00:25doesn't have to be the main guy at that point, but you're not.
- 1:00:27I think he's still good enough to be the main guy for another
- 1:00:30year maybe too. And that that's and we'll see
- 1:00:33next year because you're right, Jimmy Buckets is old also.
- 1:00:36This is the year that they're going to go all in, guys.
- 1:00:39Wonder what they do? All right, Well, you have a
- 1:00:40caller. He's been on, he's been on our
- 1:00:42network for last year, year and a half.
- 1:00:45Very happy to have him on. He is the lead guy for Snowman
- 1:00:49in the morning. Brian Snow Snowman what's?
- 1:00:53Up buddy, what's going on partner?
- 1:00:56Glad you're safe back from your trip and thanks for having me on
- 1:00:58tonight. I appreciate it.
- 1:00:59Well, we love you, you're unbelievable on the radio, you
- 1:01:03have a great personality and always give a great sports
- 1:01:06takes. So what would you like to talk
- 1:01:08about? Who the hell said the Houston
- 1:01:12Rockets will be competitive this coming year just because I got
- 1:01:15Kevin Durant? I wonder.
- 1:01:17Or, as I love to say on my show in the mornings, what in the all
- 1:01:21types of blue hell is that? Blue Hell, Is that where Kevin
- 1:01:26Durant lives? Right now, he.
- 1:01:29Does. That might be one of his Twitter
- 1:01:34handles. Now that's.
- 1:01:35True. Well, seven or eight of them and
- 1:01:37maybe 10 of them by the time he's done with the Houston
- 1:01:40Rockets. You know, it's interesting.
- 1:01:42Vegas came out with the the numbers today over the last 24
- 1:01:46hours and they gave him 18 to 1 odds, which is second right now
- 1:01:50in a Western Conference. What are your thoughts to that?
- 1:01:55Second in the Western Conference.
- 1:01:56We're talking about the same Kevin Durant whose best
- 1:01:59basketball was left in the Bay. Mind you, his two best years
- 1:02:03were in the Bay. And now that he's going to be in
- 1:02:06his 18th season out of Texas and playing in Texas and they say
- 1:02:12they're the second best team. I repeat a question that you
- 1:02:15said earlier in the conversation.
- 1:02:17Who else on that team frightens you?
- 1:02:19Nobody, Van Fleet. Who else on that team frightens
- 1:02:22you? Van Fleet.
- 1:02:24Who they tried to trade last year at the trade deadline and
- 1:02:27nobody really wanted him. No.
- 1:02:28And they do, you know, you know, what they tried to get for Van
- 1:02:31Vleet. I'm not even going to say
- 1:02:33because they're absolutely out of their minds if they think Van
- 1:02:35Vleet is worth any of the pieces they were offering.
- 1:02:40I mean, does Oklahoma City really scare you next year?
- 1:02:45No. Do the Houston Rockets kind of
- 1:02:49scare you for next year? No, not a chance.
- 1:02:53OK. I'll always say on my show, to
- 1:02:55beat the Champs, you have to unseat the Champs.
- 1:02:57Somebody's going to unseat OKC and unfortunately in my eyes
- 1:03:02they're going to be a one hit wonder.
- 1:03:04And I have to borrow phrase of yours, the LJA for the NBAI got
- 1:03:08to start using that. On my show.
- 1:03:09That is a classic. I got to use that.
- 1:03:12Brian, you are, you are the you are the number one critic of
- 1:03:15LeBron James for like the last season.
- 1:03:17You've called the show 6 years. Ago, as long as you have
- 1:03:20listened to me on the air, which now for seven years, you know I
- 1:03:26do not. And it's not being critical of
- 1:03:29LeBron alone. I give you this word in
- 1:03:32kindness. It's these bronze sexuals that.
- 1:03:34Listen me off. The best 1 was like 3 years ago
- 1:03:39when I I, I, I found on your Facebook, you posted something
- 1:03:41about LeBron on your Facebook and one of one of the guys I
- 1:03:45don't, I don't know the guy that he that commented he's like,
- 1:03:47where does LeBron rank in your top ten in NBA history?
- 1:03:50I'm like, where does LeBron rank in your top 50 in your NBA
- 1:03:52history? And you said nowhere.
- 1:03:57That's. Where they they try to get me
- 1:03:59every. They try to get me every time
- 1:04:01with these LeBron James posts, you know.
- 1:04:04Oh, he's top ten, He's top 20. Are you out of your rabbit ass
- 1:04:08rat picking mind? I can tell you 10 forwards off
- 1:04:11the top of my head that played a better fundamentally sound
- 1:04:13forward that better that that are better than him.
- 1:04:17And I'll give you 2 names that really grate their nerves and I
- 1:04:21keep bringing them up just because they grate their nerves.
- 1:04:24One is Tom Chambers, the other is Jack Sikma.
- 1:04:28I bring those two back, man, you're going back.
- 1:04:31I. Know, I know.
- 1:04:32Chambers. I don't know the other one.
- 1:04:34I know both I I know both players and they were great
- 1:04:37players, but I'm I'm intend to disagree with you as you know my
- 1:04:41thoughts to LeBron James. I think he's the second greatest
- 1:04:44basketball player of all time. I just look at numbers and I
- 1:04:46know people are going to question numbers because of
- 1:04:48longevity, but you have to play and you have to last and LeBron
- 1:04:52James has lasted and he's had the longevity.
- 1:04:55So I'm not going to take that away.
- 1:04:56But again, right, you could argue, I mean, a lot of people
- 1:04:59have argued LeBron James stature and where he states as one of
- 1:05:02the greatest basketball players of all time.
- 1:05:04But guy, I'm sorry to cut you off.
- 1:05:07You and I are going to be arguing for the rest of our
- 1:05:09lives as long as we remain friends, and we're going to,
- 1:05:11because this is the subject that makes us both laugh all the
- 1:05:14time, OK? That's why I love that.
- 1:05:16That's why I love doing it. That's exactly why I love doing
- 1:05:19it. And that's exactly why I love
- 1:05:21doing the show. But you're interviewing one of
- 1:05:23my favorite radio guys and Tim Roy.
- 1:05:25I had a chance to meet him in Chicago.
- 1:05:28Delightful, delightful person. I'm mad at you now.
- 1:05:31Why? What did I do?
- 1:05:33You got Tim Roy on the. Air, I'll tell you what I'm
- 1:05:36going to. You listen to the interview and
- 1:05:37you'll hear what I said. Say to Tim, I'm going to get Tim
- 1:05:41to lock, lock in with you and get him on your show.
- 1:05:44How's that? You got it.
- 1:05:45And one of my other favorite announcers just retired Bill
- 1:05:49Schoning, long time voice of the San Antonio Spurs.
- 1:05:51He's always been on my show saying something.
- 1:05:54If I bring you on this week or when I bring you on this week,
- 1:05:57man, save some of this LGA energy because I got to bring
- 1:06:00you on and clear about 30 minutes and let you cut loose.
- 1:06:05Well, I might be cutting some cheese by the time that's over.
- 1:06:08Brian, if you're only going to give him 30 minutes, you might
- 1:06:11want to extend that. If you're only going to.
- 1:06:12Thanks for having me on buddy. I appreciate.
- 1:06:14You. Well, something's going to be
- 1:06:18cut it just hopefully it's not something By the way, some of
- 1:06:21the food that I ate on that cruise gave me the worst gas.
- 1:06:25Man. I was letting it go.
- 1:06:26Brittany was telling me in the room she's like go into the
- 1:06:29bathroom. I've never I've never heard so
- 1:06:32much so much or not even smelt it just heard so much gas come
- 1:06:36out of somebody as much as you. I don't know what was in it, but
- 1:06:39there was a lot of salt in the food and it just let.
- 1:06:42I was letting it go. It was everywhere.
- 1:06:44Was what I had a kid behind me and I was just I tried to
- 1:06:47squeeze the cheeks guys. He was like he was like linear
- 1:06:52from my ass and I just let one go you.
- 1:06:54Should you should have saved it for all those like spoiled 15
- 1:06:56year olds in the in the? I'm just, I'm just telling you
- 1:06:58the truth. I, I, I, the truth is, and it's
- 1:07:01not, I'm not going to, I'm not going to beat around the Bush.
- 1:07:03Well, if I am beating around the Bush, it's doing something else
- 1:07:07in the bed. But nevertheless, I am just
- 1:07:09telling you that when I was walking, I was trying to squeeze
- 1:07:13the cheeks and this kid was behind me and I just let one go.
- 1:07:15And he heard me by the way, it was is pretty loud.
- 1:07:17And Brittany just sat there. Well, she didn't sat.
- 1:07:19She walked in front of me laughing and smirking as I was
- 1:07:23moving through the hallway. But I unfortunately there is
- 1:07:28there are cruises that when you eat food, it makes your stomach
- 1:07:31not work. Look at snowman.
- 1:07:32I'm sorry. I'm sorry to cut again.
- 1:07:34I'm sorry to cut you off or cut the cheese.
- 1:07:36He hung up already. Oh yeah, we lost him.
- 1:07:38That sucks. By the way, that was Snowman in
- 1:07:40the morning. Go check his show out on a
- 1:07:42network and throughout all the different networks that he's on.
- 1:07:46He is sensational. He's one of the most talented
- 1:07:48broadcasters in the business. He really is.
- 1:07:50He doesn't get enough credit. He really is funny, laid back,
- 1:07:56really clever on his takes as you heard LeBron sexuals he is
- 1:08:00very clever on his presentation when it comes to his show.
- 1:08:05So fantastic personality as always.
- 1:08:08But go ahead, fish, I know you just popped right in and, you
- 1:08:12know, popped some cherries like Speedy always says, right?
- 1:08:15No, you say pop cherries. I have no idea what the hell
- 1:08:17that even means. Well, Errol while you were gone
- 1:08:21had a great guest on, you know, before we get up to our next
- 1:08:24guest, Frank Luna, who offered this great all inclusive with
- 1:08:29for him and a lady that he either brings or finds in the VP
- 1:08:35free tab. Jabba agreed to give him the
- 1:08:38room for the night. And then we got to go down to
- 1:08:43the shore and this is at the Stone Pony where they have their
- 1:08:46concert series. So you get to have like a rock
- 1:08:48show too Speedy. Speedy get laid.
- 1:08:51That's what we're talking about here.
- 1:08:54And speedy, in case you were wondering, That's what pop and
- 1:08:57cherries means. There's a better shot of Brian
- 1:09:00Snow putting LeBron in his top 20 that that happened.
- 1:09:03Just trying to bring it full circle for you.
- 1:09:07I don't know, Speedy. I feel like that is a that's
- 1:09:09like the perfect scenario. Your kind of music.
- 1:09:13Everything covered VIP. Where did this conversation come
- 1:09:20from? Actually, that's what I want to
- 1:09:21know. Where did that come from?
- 1:09:23The conversation come or start where Jabba says, hey, you know
- 1:09:27what, I'll pay for it. I think it was some reference.
- 1:09:30We were going back and forth about something and he's like,
- 1:09:33all right, I'll do this. And I was like, all right, if
- 1:09:35you take care of the tab, I'll take care of the room.
- 1:09:38I don't know. I don't know where it originated
- 1:09:39from, but it. It was a great interview.
- 1:09:41He was fantastic, Frank. It really was a great guest.
- 1:09:45I hope you guys get a chance to see.
- 1:09:46I think Speedy might have cut the interview for you guys to
- 1:09:48watch on YouTube. And if you haven't seen our
- 1:09:51videos, everybody make sure that you're looking at subscribing on

- 1:10:17I just want to let everybody know something.
- 1:10:19It doesn't matter if I'm on the show or not.
- 1:10:21You should be tuning on tuning into the show with or without
- 1:10:24me. I know I it's very rare that I'm
- 1:10:26not on a show when I'm on a vacation that I almost get
- 1:10:29arrested or laying farts or dropping a deuce in certain
- 1:10:33areas. That I, by the way, that was
- 1:10:35another thing that happened to me, but that's a whole nother
- 1:10:37story. I accidentally went into the
- 1:10:39wrong room. That's a whole nother story.
- 1:10:41And I'll tell you what. Happened.
- 1:10:42I thought you meant you like pooped your pants.
- 1:10:44No, I actually wasn't paying attention and the room was.
- 1:10:49I thought it was my room, but it was the other room on the other
- 1:10:52the the the door before my room and I walked into the door and I
- 1:10:55went to the bathroom and I walked out and some girl was
- 1:10:59practically undressed. But that's a whole nother story
- 1:11:01that I'll tell you a little bit later in the show.
- 1:11:03So anyways, when we got to do our golf clap of the day, go
- 1:11:07ahead. This deserves a golf clap.
- 1:11:11No doubt. Golf clap.
- 1:11:13Golf clap. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:11:16our golf clap of the day goes to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 1:11:21Oh, I can't wait for this one. Yes ladies and gentlemen, they
- 1:11:25finally signed the number two overall pick, Travis Hunter for
- 1:11:30four years. Yes, rookie contract worth about
- 1:11:3346, $1,000,000. Why it's why is this my golf
- 1:11:38clap, ladies and gentlemen? Because of for an organization
- 1:11:41that absolutely falls flat in their face, absolutely falls
- 1:11:44flat on more faces than one, including a face that looks like
- 1:11:48a gremlin. And for a guy who I think is one
- 1:11:51of the most overrated players to come out of the draft in about
- 1:11:5420 years, who gets $46,000,000 and not a quarterback tells me
- 1:12:00one thing about the organization.
- 1:12:02So blue dumbasses. And why is $46 million going to
- 1:12:07make this organization look bad? Well I don't know, ask Travis
- 1:12:11Hunter after the season. So my golf clap of the day goes
- 1:12:15to the one and only Jacksonville Jaguars as the stupid
- 1:12:19organization lays the smack if and gives this idiot 46 mil.
- 1:12:24Ladies and gentlemen, the Golf Club of the Day goes to the one
- 1:12:27and only stupid Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 1:12:30What a wonderful move by that organization.
- 1:12:33How stupid could you be? You pay a guy that's not a
- 1:12:36quarterback a #2 pick overall pick $46 million.
- 1:12:40I would say that that I remember Zach Wilson, The Jets gave Zach
- 1:12:44Wilson less money. I think he got like 36 or $38
- 1:12:47million and he was the number two.
- 1:12:50He was the quarter second pick in the the first round and he
- 1:12:53was a quarterback. And this guy's not even a
- 1:12:55quarterback. He's making almost seven, $8
- 1:12:57million more than Zach Wilson. I'm not saying Zach Wilson was
- 1:13:00any good, but this guy's not even a quarterback.
- 1:13:03He's making $46 million. Makes no sense.
- 1:13:06That just shows you how stupid the organization is and and I'm
- 1:13:09sure that family and Travis Hunter is very happy because he
- 1:13:13just robbed an organization for 46 and a half million dollars.
- 1:13:16Anyways, when we come back, ladies and gentlemen, I don't
- 1:13:18think he needs a golf clap. If you want to give him one, you
- 1:13:22should. This guy is one of the best.
- 1:13:25I said it, one of the great broadcasters and play by play
- 1:13:28guys in the business, one of the greatest basketball analysts in
- 1:13:33the business. He's been on a show, he's got a
- 1:13:35great personality and he is the voice of the one and only Steph
- 1:13:39Curry. Golden State Warriors play by
- 1:13:43play broadcaster Tim Roy. But first, our sportsman with
- 1:13:47the only one that says he's a fisherman himself.
- 1:13:51The only fish. Aaron fish fisherman.
- 1:13:56This is the Jabba and the Mouth sportsman at.
- 1:14:01Hey guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sports minute.
- 1:14:04Going to give you a few stories before we get into the scores
- 1:14:07this evening. The Anaheim, don't call them
- 1:14:10Mighty Ducks, have traded Trevor Zeigris to the Philadelphia
- 1:14:14Flyers for Senator Ryan, polling the 45th pick in Friday's NHL
- 1:14:18draft and a fourth round pick in 2026.
- 1:14:21Zeigris, who was the runner up for the Calder Trophy as a
- 1:14:24rookie in 2021-2022, Production and availability of tailed off
- 1:14:28in the past two seasons as he's dealt with lower body injuries,
- 1:14:31including a torn meniscus and a falling out with coaching.
- 1:14:35Apparently, new coach Joel Quenville wants only a positive
- 1:14:38culture this time out, we hope. And Zeigris, the Bedford, NY
- 1:14:43native refines the magic he had in new surroundings.
- 1:14:46Although those surroundings are Philly.
- 1:14:48So worst of luck to the Broad St.
- 1:14:51Bullies. As always, Giants pitcher Sean
- 1:14:53Jelly is in the news for the wrong reasons as his wife put
- 1:14:56the family's business on blast for all to see on social media.
- 1:14:59In a viral video that garnered well over 4 million views,
- 1:15:01Jelly's wife Caroline post a video of her playing with her
- 1:15:04two kids with a following overlay.
- 1:15:06And my MLB husband abandons us on Mother's Day a week after
- 1:15:10this. At once.
- 1:15:11I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up
- 1:15:14with his abuse. So if I've been raising two boys
- 1:15:17alone caption coming, the video reads yeah, I've had been silent
- 1:15:21about too long for this for too long about this and includes
- 1:15:24hashtags such as divorce, cheating and fidelity.
- 1:15:28And she was playing the Lords a man of the year song in the new
- 1:15:32in the video just post the video is better in the past couple of
- 1:15:35months about finding apparently about their relationship falling
- 1:15:38apart. The Giants released.
- 1:15:40But here's the thing now it's about abuse and things have
- 1:15:42become more serious. The Giants released the
- 1:15:44statement Saturday. You're aware of these serious
- 1:15:46allegations. We have been in contact with the
- 1:15:48MLB. These types of allegations fall
- 1:15:50under their jurisdiction and we won't be commenting further.
- 1:15:55And finally we have the Braves, who dug themselves an early hole
- 1:15:59this season, have just lost Chris Sale to the 15 day IL with
- 1:16:02a fractured rib cage. The move was announced on
- 1:16:05Saturday and back into Thursday as the incident happens on a
- 1:16:08diving place sail made on a ground ball by Juan Soto Ale A
- 1:16:12Sale stayed in to strike out, beat Alonso and give up a boot
- 1:16:16single to Brandy Nimmo before exiting.
- 1:16:18The Braves, who lost young pitcher AJ Smith Shover to Tommy
- 1:16:21John already this season, now have lost Sale to an
- 1:16:23indeterminate amount of time. Sale had a rib cage injury in
- 1:16:262022, has signed sidelined him for over 3 months to start the
- 1:16:30season. The Braves have an $18 million
- 1:16:33option on Sale for next year, and GM Alex Anthopolis, when
- 1:16:36asked if the Braves will trade him, responded emphatically.
- 1:16:40Will not happen. Bold italicize it caps, citing
- 1:16:46the rather affordable option for picture of sales caliber and
- 1:16:49healthy at 18,000,000. The Braves are 35 and 41 and 11
- 1:16:54games back of NLE St. and Phillies and 10 games back of
- 1:16:57the second place Mets Guys. We are streaming live on TikTok,

- 1:19:29We love him. He's been on issue for you.
- 1:19:31Caught it quite a few times since the end of the basketball
- 1:19:34season. And we have him again.
- 1:19:35We're now talking to Golden State Warriors play by play
- 1:19:38broadcaster, our friend Tim Roy. Tim, what's up, buddy?
- 1:19:43Not much just enjoying the offseason, you know and and got
- 1:19:47to watch a great finals that was really good basketball, high
- 1:19:51level stuff and now just getting ready for the draft.
- 1:19:54The Warriors don't have a first round pick.
- 1:19:57They have a second round pick, but you never know on draft
- 1:19:59night, you know, it could be a could be a deal going on during
- 1:20:02the draft and, and so you. I always be ready for that.
- 1:20:05But just at this point, you know, now after the draft, it's
- 1:20:09some summer league and free agency.
- 1:20:11And then you get some time in August to kind of really rest.
- 1:20:14And then back at the end of September, you just get going
- 1:20:16again. It's, you know, the NBA has been
- 1:20:19really good about keep staying, keeping itself in the news all
- 1:20:22year long. They really do a good job of
- 1:20:24that. It's not the NBA, it's the LJ
- 1:20:26LeBron James Association. I'm going to help you out on
- 1:20:28this all show for everybody out there that doesn't understand,
- 1:20:32it's the LJA LeBron James Association.
- 1:20:37Thank you, Adam Silver. But nevertheless, a lot to get
- 1:20:40into with the Golden State Warriors And you're right, it's
- 1:20:42very Nick like as they don't have a first draft pick.
- 1:20:45We all know the Knicks as Leon Rose hasn't had a first round
- 1:20:48draft pick since 19 seven. I'm just kidding, but the New
- 1:20:51York Knicks don't really draft in the first round either with
- 1:20:53Leon Rose. Nevertheless, they've gotten
- 1:20:56good second round draft picks over the years.
- 1:20:58But no, I, I look at Golden State right now.
- 1:21:01Jimmy Buckets looked old. I, I, I, you gave him an
- 1:21:04extension before the seasons and you have Steph Curry coming
- 1:21:07back. What is he 3637 years old?
- 1:21:10He's getting up there and air. You have Draymond Green that's
- 1:21:13been more worried about his podcast than his game of
- 1:21:15basketball. What out there?
- 1:21:17What is out there? And Steve Kerr, he could be
- 1:21:19looking you have one foot out right now.
- 1:21:21He could be looking at a, a broadcasting job in the very
- 1:21:24near future. What is there to look forward to
- 1:21:27Golden State Warriors basketball moving forward.
- 1:21:29You know more than anybody. Well, they played.
- 1:21:32Really, really well, after Jimmy got on board and they're, you
- 1:21:36know, at the end when Steph got hurt, it kind of fell apart.
- 1:21:39Jimmy got hurt, then Steph got hurt.
- 1:21:40And so it kind of, you know, evaporated at that point.
- 1:21:44But before that, in the last, you know, month and a half, two
- 1:21:47months and a half of the season, they were really good.
- 1:21:50And so I think they're trying to fill in some holes.
- 1:21:52I think they'd like to get some more shooting, a little more
- 1:21:55length on the perimeter. They're limited in how they can
- 1:21:58do it, so they're going to have to be creative.
- 1:22:01But I think with the Jimmy Butler deal, Mike Dudley V
- 1:22:04showed he can be a very creative GM.
- 1:22:07He did a really nice job before the season started.
- 1:22:11He acquired all these, you know, contracts, Kyle Anderson, D
- 1:22:14Anthony Melton, all these guys. And they were all movable
- 1:22:17pieces. So by moving Melton after he got
- 1:22:20hurt, then you get shorter, you can move shorter.
- 1:22:22He gotten something else in the Butler trade.
- 1:22:25So I think they've shown that they can be very creative.
- 1:22:28They have some holes to fill and they have some young players
- 1:22:31that have to take a step forward next year.
- 1:22:33So Steph Curry, obviously, I like, I always talk about the
- 1:22:36longevity aspect of it. He's mostly had minor injuries
- 1:22:38in his, not as much as like the big ones, like we're seeing all
- 1:22:40these Achilles injuries now, but like going forward with him,
- 1:22:43especially being the focal point of this offense.
- 1:22:45Like how do you think the Warriors have to manage it and
- 1:22:47how do you think he has to fit with these younger players?
- 1:22:49Yeah, I think, you know, Steph, despite his age, still has what
- 1:22:53we call gravity. You know, when he cuts to the
- 1:22:55other side, you know, about two bodies go with him.
- 1:22:58OK. What?
- 1:22:59What they need is to find guys on the other side of the floor
- 1:23:02who can consistently knock down some shots.
- 1:23:04That's how you use his gravity against the other team.
- 1:23:07I think Steph is one of these guys that he's, once he found
- 1:23:11out that if he got his body right, the ankle injuries would
- 1:23:15go away and, and all the, you know, the problems that he had
- 1:23:19right the start of his career went away.
- 1:23:21He has been dedicated to keeping himself in great shape.
- 1:23:24And all the players, I think most of them around the league
- 1:23:26are doing that. And that's why we're seeing guys
- 1:23:28play into the late 30s. When I was a kid, if you were 37
- 1:23:32in the NBA, you had better been 7 feet tall because if you were,
- 1:23:36you were not, you were not playing at that point.
- 1:23:38But now the conditioning, the nutrition, everything is so much
- 1:23:42better that these guys are playing longer and longer.
- 1:23:45So yes, the Warriors big three, they're old.
- 1:23:47They're not they're not young players anymore.
- 1:23:49But there still can be affected players if you can keep their
- 1:23:51minutes down. And so I think that's the kind
- 1:23:53of Micks they're going to look at.
- 1:23:56Brandon Pojemski has to, I think has to take a step forward next
- 1:23:59year for the Warriors. Moses Moody has to be a little
- 1:24:01bit better. They they, there is a situation
- 1:24:03now with Jonathan Kaminga, whether or not he's going to
- 1:24:06stay and what kind of offer he gets as a restricted free agent.
- 1:24:09And so, so I think there's there's a lot of pieces they
- 1:24:14have, they just got to find a couple more to make it all work.
- 1:24:18Yeah, what that, that was my question too.
- 1:24:20Nice, nice segue. Make me look good.
- 1:24:23You see it every day and you're around them and cover it.
- 1:24:26Like what? What do you think those couple
- 1:24:28pieces are and and how do you think the best way to go about
- 1:24:31getting the ones? I think a three and D wing would
- 1:24:35be good. You know, a guy that can defend
- 1:24:36a little bit and knock down a three.
- 1:24:38You know, the, the there's a lot of guys that say they're three
- 1:24:41and D wings. But I think if they can find a
- 1:24:43guy like that, they need to get a little bit bigger on the wing
- 1:24:45wing side and probably, you know, find a center who can
- 1:24:49stretch the floor a little bit. They have this rookie out, a kid
- 1:24:52out of BC from from Holland, the Quinton Post, who showed some
- 1:24:57pretty good stuff during the regular season.
- 1:24:59I don't know if he's ready to be a full time starter just yet.
- 1:25:01Probably has to get a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger,
- 1:25:03learn how to use his leverage better.
- 1:25:05But that those are the kind of needs I see.
- 1:25:07A three and D wing. A big that can stretch the floor
- 1:25:09a little bit like Miles Turner does for Indiana, what the check
- 1:25:15does for Oklahoma City. A guy that can knock down one of
- 1:25:18those shots that can bring a big away from the basket.
- 1:25:21So if the other guys can then get to the basket without
- 1:25:24worrying about having their shot smack back in their face for
- 1:25:27having to shoot it quicker than they want to because the big guy
- 1:25:29is there. We are talking to Golden State
- 1:25:32Warriors play by play broadcaster Tim Roy.
- 1:25:34Tim, this Achilles injury has been really effective over the
- 1:25:38last, I would say 10 years, actually 15 years if you go back
- 1:25:42of the Golden State, Whereas Klay Thompson, he tore his
- 1:25:45Achilles, he wasn't the same player.
- 1:25:47We go back to Kobe Bryant. When Kobe Bryant tore his
- 1:25:49Achilles, he wasn't the same player.
- 1:25:51Now you're looking throughout the NBA Finals this year, he got
- 1:25:542 superstar players, 2 great players.
- 1:25:57And Jayson Tatum, he went down towards Achilles.
- 1:25:59He could, he might not be the same player.
- 1:26:02And then Tyrese Halliburton, he's young, but he might not be
- 1:26:05the same player. What do you think the LJA needs
- 1:26:08to do to help or secure these players so they don't have these
- 1:26:13bad injuries? Well, first of all, basketball
- 1:26:16is a sport that's, you know, the human body is not designed to
- 1:26:19have that much stress on your ankles, your knees and and, and
- 1:26:23to take the pounding that they do.
- 1:26:25I'm not so sure. I'm not really a doctor kind of
- 1:26:28guy, but so I don't know if there's a link between them all,
- 1:26:31but I'll give you an example. Kevin Durant, Elton Brand, both
- 1:26:35guys for their Achilles, what they do, they change the game a
- 1:26:38little bit. You know, Elton Brand hung out
- 1:26:39the free throw line. He played for over 10 years in
- 1:26:41the league making foul line jumpers.
- 1:26:43Kevin Durant's a mid range guy. I think that's what maybe a guy
- 1:26:47like Tatum will have to look at. Maybe Halliburton doesn't go the
- 1:26:50basket as much as he did before. You know, and you know, the the
- 1:26:54medical side is so much better than it used to be.
- 1:26:56I think these guys can't come back and be effective players,
- 1:26:59but but again, you may have to look at your game and kind of
- 1:27:03adjust it a little bit to get the kind of longevity that you
- 1:27:06want and to be an effective player.
- 1:27:08But I think with with Brand and with KD, I think they both
- 1:27:11showed that that you can make that adjustment and still be a
- 1:27:15pretty good player in the league.
- 1:27:17So the obviously the debate has been for years with load
- 1:27:19management and now we've seen a lot of cuz these major injuries.
- 1:27:22I think we were saying like the Achilles injuries doubled I
- 1:27:25think from last year for how many there were total.
- 1:27:27And there was also this this argument after OKC won the
- 1:27:30championship that should they shorten the NBA season to
- 1:27:33prevent these injuries. What are your thoughts of that?
- 1:27:36Well, I, I think here's the, the I think, I think in, in theory,
- 1:27:40it's a really good idea. In reality, it's, it's never
- 1:27:45going to happen because the owners need, need those dates,
- 1:27:50you know, to make money. And the players, if you have
- 1:27:54less games, they're going to get paid less.
- 1:27:56So I don't think anybody's going to kick back any money on either
- 1:27:59side. So I, I don't think it's ever
- 1:28:01going to happen. I think there's a way to make
- 1:28:05the schedule a little bit easier and I think they've tried to do
- 1:28:08that. We see these things now where
- 1:28:10teams will go to a city and instead of in your own
- 1:28:14conference, instead of playing one game and moving on to the
- 1:28:17next city, they stay over and play 2 games.
- 1:28:20Guys get better rest that way. It's kind of like a baseball
- 1:28:22series. You go in, you can actually
- 1:28:24unpack. You know, in the FBA, you don't
- 1:28:26unpack. You just lay your bag down.
- 1:28:27It's just like, OK, but you know, you can unpack if you're
- 1:28:30going to be there like a playoff series or whatever.
- 1:28:33And so I think it's guys are under the stress and the, you
- 1:28:36know, lack of sleep that they get in the regular season.
- 1:28:39I think, I think maybe adding a week to the duration of the
- 1:28:43season might help just to spread the games out a little bit more.
- 1:28:47And I, I think there are ways to do it, but I really don't think
- 1:28:50in reality you'll ever see a shortened season.
- 1:28:52They don't want to lose that TV money and that's how they're
- 1:28:56able to pay these guys in theory.
- 1:28:59I'm surprised the NFL has done it to the extra game.
- 1:29:02But and you've seen kind of what this series did and it was the
- 1:29:08most watched Game 7 or last game of the series in six years.
- 1:29:13Do you do you see it trending up?
- 1:29:15Because as we've seen the numbers, we've seen the
- 1:29:19viewability become more so than it has been.
- 1:29:23And do you think that's due to because these younger athletes
- 1:29:25and the younger guys and the style of what they do brings a
- 1:29:30cool factor to the younger generation that that wants to
- 1:29:33play this game instead of, you know, the roughnecks and dudes
- 1:29:36getting clothesline like by Lambier and it just a different
- 1:29:39game. Do you think that's helped
- 1:29:41viewership? Because I know sports are trying
- 1:29:44to get younger to get that younger crowd.
- 1:29:45You're always going to have those older guys, but do you see
- 1:29:48that from your guys viewership in in more ways than one?
- 1:29:52Yeah, and I think also too, the NBA has been really good at
- 1:29:55identifying trends in in the culture.
- 1:29:58So every NBA team now has a group of five or six young
- 1:30:02people that do nothing but social media.
- 1:30:05They go to a game, every guy gets off that bus that pictures
- 1:30:08going up somewhere, TikTok, Instagram.
- 1:30:10So they're now the players are making it so they're fashion
- 1:30:14statements coming off the bus, you know, I mean, and, and you.
- 1:30:18Call Tim, you call some of those fashion statements.
- 1:30:22Well, I'm, I'm saying, I'm not saying sure what kind of
- 1:30:24statement it is, but it is a statement.
- 1:30:27You know, it's like, if that's the look they were going for,
- 1:30:30they nailed it. But the no, but they kind of
- 1:30:33identify where the trends are and, and to appeal to younger
- 1:30:36people. So I think they do a good job of
- 1:30:38that And, and in turn, they create these persona around
- 1:30:42these players that's attractive to young people.
- 1:30:45Basketball has the advantage to where it's a, you know, it's,
- 1:30:49it's about a 2 hour game, you know, and I think with, for a
- 1:30:52lot of the younger kids, that's a big deal.
- 1:30:54And I think that's why baseball put in the clocks, because they
- 1:30:57want to speed the game up and they want to get kids to talk a
- 1:31:00little bit about baseball again. You know, when my son was a
- 1:31:03teenager, none of his friends would come over and talk about
- 1:31:06the Giants or the A's or what was going on in baseball.
- 1:31:08And I found that really weird because when I was a kid, that's
- 1:31:11what we talked about in the summertime, you know, we look
- 1:31:12for the averages and eras. And so and I asked Zach about
- 1:31:17that and says, dad, kids aren't watching because it's too long.
- 1:31:20And that was back when you like if you were watching a Red Sox
- 1:31:23Yankee game, it's a four hour affair.
- 1:31:24And you know, there's 25 pitching changes and meetings.
- 1:31:28And so I think baseball has done a good job of that and the NBA
- 1:31:32has that built in. So they they identify trends.
- 1:31:34They got a built in thing, they identify with young players.
- 1:31:38And I think you're right. And the other part about this,
- 1:31:40you know, like we're on this show right now.
- 1:31:42It's streaming and I think the, the ability for kids to watch
- 1:31:46games on their phones or on their tablets, I think that's
- 1:31:50huge because a lot of kids, you know, especially teenagers, they
- 1:31:53may not want to go and sit down next to dad and watch the game.
- 1:31:56You know, they want to be out with their friends, but they can
- 1:31:58catch up with the game on their on their phone.
- 1:32:01And I think that's why I think you're seeing a lot of the
- 1:32:03listenership coming, coming up, because there's more options for
- 1:32:06young people to watch, but they don't have to sit down in their
- 1:32:09home and and watch it that way. Tim, you've been watching the
- 1:32:12game a long, long time. You've been a part of the LJA
- 1:32:16for a long, long time. You look at where the LJA has
- 1:32:21gone over the years, from the 80s to the Celtics and the the
- 1:32:25Magic Lakers to the 90s, where the tail end of the Pistons
- 1:32:30dynasty went from obviously Elijah Wan to Michael Jordan's
- 1:32:34dominance. And then you look at the Lakers
- 1:32:37and you know the the back end of it.
- 1:32:39And then you look at Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors
- 1:32:42and a lot of people, a lot of young people, all the dominance
- 1:32:45of the Golden State Warriors over the years and the
- 1:32:47championships. And Steph's won four.
- 1:32:49If he wins 5, you can compare him to the Jordans and and all
- 1:32:53the greats. A lot of people put Steph Curry,
- 1:32:57you know, out there as a top ten player.
- 1:32:59I do not look at him as a top ten player.
- 1:33:01There's a lot of reasons why not because he's not a great
- 1:33:04shooter. I think he's the greatest
- 1:33:05shooter to ever play in the NBA. He's brought a different value
- 1:33:08to the NBA and the youngsters that believe, hey, I could be 6
- 1:33:12three and Chuck up threes and be like Steph Curry.
- 1:33:15You look at the league right now, you look at, you know,
- 1:33:17you're a Samaritan. You understand the way the NBA
- 1:33:20has gone over the years. Do you put Steph Curry in the
- 1:33:23top 10? Because I don't.
- 1:33:24I put him in the top 25. Talking now or are you talking
- 1:33:28all time? All time, all time, all time.
- 1:33:31Do you put Steph Curry in the top 10?
- 1:33:33Yeah, I think he's in the discussion.
- 1:33:35I'll tell you why. There are very few players come
- 1:33:37in and change the way the game is played.
- 1:33:41Will Chamberlain change the way the game was played around the
- 1:33:43basket. Bill Russell was part of that as
- 1:33:45well. And Bill Russell is the probably
- 1:33:47the best winner we've ever seen in American sport.
- 1:33:50He just won everything. And so, you know, Magic and Bird
- 1:33:55changed the NBA, Steph Curry changed the way the NBA looked
- 1:33:59at the three-point shot and in turn changed the way the game is
- 1:34:01played. Now you have everybody spread
- 1:34:03out. You have then there's a lot more
- 1:34:06attention to not just the shooting part of it, but the
- 1:34:09ball handling part of it as well.
- 1:34:11Steph generates a lot of offense via his ball handling, whether
- 1:34:14it be for himself or for somebody else.
- 1:34:16And so when you take that into effect, I think you have to look
- 1:34:20at him as a top ten player because he basically put his
- 1:34:25stamp on the NBA and it makes that now he's not the most
- 1:34:30fiscally imposing player. And I get that argument a lot
- 1:34:33from people. But I think, you know, here's
- 1:34:37the other part about stuff and you mentioned about how, you
- 1:34:40know, he's only 6 three and kids look at him and say, well, I
- 1:34:43could maybe be like that. And like Jabba pointed out, you
- 1:34:46know, he's changed it from not the the wrestling matches, you
- 1:34:49know, Anthony Mason and whoever on the block trying to.
- 1:34:51Kill each other at night, New York Knicks players.
- 1:34:54Thank you. Thank you, Tim.
- 1:34:56Something to be happy about. Here's a.
- 1:34:58Wrestlers. A quick, quick aside.
- 1:35:01Anthony Mason did it. We used to get when if you lost
- 1:35:04and back when I was starting with the Warriors of first a
- 1:35:07decade and a half, we weren't winning very much.
- 1:35:09We would get a player from the other team as our postgame
- 1:35:11guest. Anthony Mason came by one night
- 1:35:14and was my postgame guest and never looked at me.
- 1:35:17Sat down, the chair had turned the chair so he's looking out
- 1:35:21onto the court. I'm like 2 feet away from him
- 1:35:23and he never. Turned to look at me.
- 1:35:26He did the interview but I we never made eye contact.
- 1:35:29But anyway, so I think what Steph is that, you know, when I
- 1:35:34go to a game on the road, the older brother, older sister, mom
- 1:35:38and dad, they've got all the home team garb on, right?
- 1:35:41But when they're their kids or their younger siblings walk in,
- 1:35:45they got a Curry jersey on because he has inspired a lot of
- 1:35:50kids to to pick up the game and learn how to play the game.
- 1:35:55And I'm going to be interested to see in the next generation,
- 1:35:58you know, just how many kids come in with his kind of skill
- 1:36:00set because of the fact that he he has put his imprint on the
- 1:36:04game the way he has. So we were talking about at the
- 1:36:07beginning of the interview about the Warriors players being very
- 1:36:09outspoken. You also played against one
- 1:36:11that's been very outspoken throughout the playoffs.
- 1:36:12That's Anthony Edwards throwing his teammates under the bus for
- 1:36:15only taking thirteen shots that he's comparing himself to Paul
- 1:36:18Pearce and all these other guys. It's the truth during the
- 1:36:21Olympics. What are your thoughts to kind
- 1:36:22of maybe this newer? Generations hold on.
- 1:36:25He didn't compare himself. He just said he was the truth.
- 1:36:28And that all started with Obama there and Joel Embiid.
- 1:36:32First of all, if I was Obama, I'm not asking Joel Embiid what
- 1:36:35he thinks about Anthony Edwards. Because Joel Embiid needs to
- 1:36:38shut his mouth and keep his two cents to himself.
- 1:36:41Because this is the same guy that went I should be an MVP and
- 1:36:46then the next year gets the MVP because the league just felt
- 1:36:48desperately sorry for the idiot. So where I was getting it
- 1:36:52because I've always made the, it was like the LeBron generation.
- 1:36:54That was the ones that are usually having these outspoken
- 1:36:57statements, but we're not seeing as he's much with the younger
- 1:36:59superstars, except probably besides Anthony Edwards.
- 1:37:01So what are your thoughts to his comments?
- 1:37:03You know, I, I think Anthony Edwards is kind of growing into
- 1:37:06his NBA skin. I don't think he's a bad guy at
- 1:37:09all. I think he's a really, really
- 1:37:10good guy. And I think he plays the game
- 1:37:12really, really hard and, and he's, he's a star on the rise,
- 1:37:16But I think he's kind of maturing into the the player
- 1:37:19he's going to be for the balance of his career.
- 1:37:22And so I don't have a problem with his comments.
- 1:37:25And, and, you know, I think every now and then, you know,
- 1:37:28maybe a, a wake up call to your team mates isn't such a, you
- 1:37:31know, a bad idea. I mean, you know, sometimes you,
- 1:37:34you have to, you know, point out to the, the team that, hey, you
- 1:37:37know, when, when we need a bucket, we need to get the ball.
- 1:37:40This guy, you know, and so I think, I think he's going to be
- 1:37:44a, a, a future, maybe an MVP type guy.
- 1:37:48And I, I think if, if I'm in Minnesota, I'm thrilled because
- 1:37:51he's going to keep them in contention for years to come.
- 1:37:55So yeah, talking about this younger generation and and
- 1:37:58you've covered this game for so long and you've seen a few guys
- 1:38:01that have been pretty good. Aside from your team, who is
- 1:38:06your favorite person you have ever covered?
- 1:38:09Wow, aside from my team. Yeah, because that's kind of
- 1:38:12cheating. Yeah, it is kind of cheating.
- 1:38:16Steph and Steve Kerr are by far. They're the leaders in the
- 1:38:19clubhouse. They make my job so much easier.
- 1:38:22But I would say, let me think, I would say looking around, Steve
- 1:38:28Nash was a really cool dude. He was really a really nice guy.
- 1:38:33He was one going back years ago, Kevin Johnson who played for the
- 1:38:41Phoenix Suns, really good guy. He's he's not just a good guy,
- 1:38:45you know, for his basketball image.
- 1:38:47He was a good guy off the floor. You know, he ended up being
- 1:38:49married Sacramento. He started a school there for
- 1:38:52kids that needed help. So those are those are two guys
- 1:38:55I would think of right off the top there.
- 1:38:58There been so many people I've run into who have just been, you
- 1:39:02know, just been aces. It's, it's been really, it's
- 1:39:04been really a cool journey to be honest.
- 1:39:06With you. We are talking to Golden State
- 1:39:07Warriors play by play broadcaster Tim, right?
- 1:39:09You know, it's funny you mentioned Steve Kerr, just so
- 1:39:12you know, when he was coaching Team USA Basketball.
- 1:39:14It was my take that made the Olympic Committee close down my
- 1:39:19Instagram. I had to renew and create a new
- 1:39:22Instagram. But guess what?
- 1:39:24Instagram. I have more followers now than I
- 1:39:27ever did. So eat it.
- 1:39:28But I said something about Steve Kerr and his coaching and they
- 1:39:31shut me down on Instagram. And then you mentioned Steve
- 1:39:34Nash, and I think he's a nice dude too.
- 1:39:36But what is he thinking, joining a podcast with LeBron friggin
- 1:39:41James that the LJA is leading again, a nice guy to the dark
- 1:39:48side? So I'm just, I'm just speaking
- 1:39:51the truth here. This is, these are the facts.
- 1:39:53I just speak the truth on this show.
- 1:39:55And I know a lot of people don't like it, but you can eat it and
- 1:39:58dish it and sit on it if you don't like it.
- 1:40:01The fact here is, and I, I want to get back to what I think the
- 1:40:05Golden State Warriors should be doing.
- 1:40:07And there is a guy right now for the that's playing for the New
- 1:40:10York Knicks. There are stories coming out,
- 1:40:12I've seen post that they're looking for a wing guy that can
- 1:40:15shoot and defend and do all those things.
- 1:40:17There is a guy on the New York Knicks that the Knicks traded
- 1:40:20for five first round draft picks that the WAR, it would be a
- 1:40:23perfect fit for the Warriors and that's Mikkel Bridges.
- 1:40:27I think that is the guy that if they get Mikkel Bridges, they
- 1:40:31win another championship. That's how good Mikkel Bridges
- 1:40:34would fit with the Warriors. Jimmy Buckets and then Steph
- 1:40:38Curry, two guys that could defend the perimeter and I and
- 1:40:41shoot the ball. He, Mikkel Bridges is a good
- 1:40:43three-point shooter. He's not a great, he's a good
- 1:40:45three-point shooter and he could defend multiple positions.
- 1:40:48If you were AGM, I should be AGM for the Golden State where I ask
- 1:40:51because I could be another Myers.
- 1:40:53If you were AGM right now, would you try or think to make a move
- 1:40:58for a guy like Mikkel Bridges? OK, so.
- 1:41:03A little background here, the Warriors have a number of guys
- 1:41:06who have contracts that are expiring here at the end of the
- 1:41:09month, and the NBA contract cycle goes July through June.
- 1:41:14So in order to make that deal work and, you know, unless you
- 1:41:19want to trade, you know, Draymond stuff for Jimmy Butler,
- 1:41:23you're going to have to have multiple bodies on that deal.
- 1:41:27Now the problem with that is once you sign a guy in the
- 1:41:30offseason, you can sign and trade him.
- 1:41:32But for the lawyers are so close to the cap, they can only get
- 1:41:36half the money back. I believe if I've gotten this
- 1:41:40right on the cap. But the other the other day to
- 1:41:42remember is December 15th. That's the day when you sign a
- 1:41:45guy in the offseason. That's the first day you can
- 1:41:48trade him. And why is that there?
- 1:41:50And it's there because they put that in so that teams don't
- 1:41:53here, we're going to sign this guy and just move them so we can
- 1:41:55get that guy. You know, they, they want teams
- 1:41:58to be a little bit more transparent in, in their
- 1:42:01dealings. And so it keeps, it keeps, you
- 1:42:03know, signed guy that maybe doesn't want to play anymore to
- 1:42:06get, you know, so they can balance out a trade.
- 1:42:09No, the guy has to be on your roster and play till December
- 1:42:1215th. So, so it's just it's a
- 1:42:14protection in there, you know, for for a lot of teams.
- 1:42:18And so I if that was a player that they were interested in, I
- 1:42:21don't know if they would be, but you know, he certainly has the
- 1:42:24talent and skill set that that would certainly would fit just
- 1:42:27about anywhere. You know that that would be the
- 1:42:30way they would have to do a deal like that would be the side guys
- 1:42:33and then maybe make a deal in the summer.
- 1:42:35So I, I, I have to go in and say something about the Knicks
- 1:42:39because I kind of trended that way.
- 1:42:41When you look at the organization as a whole.
- 1:42:44And I know Tom Thibodeau LED them to the Eastern Conference
- 1:42:47finals and a lot of attacks by the Knicks.
- 1:42:49Within 48 hours, they fired him, Tom Thibodeau.
- 1:42:52And then everybody says, well, they fired him because they had
- 1:42:54an idea of who they brought in. They, they wanted to reach out
- 1:42:57to Jason Kidd. The Mavericks had no interest in
- 1:42:59and letting him, just let the Knicks speaking to him.
- 1:43:01The Udoka thing that Houston Rockets had no interest in
- 1:43:05letting the Knicks speak to him. Now the Knicks are a stupid
- 1:43:08organization. I trust in Leon Rose.
- 1:43:10I think Leon Rose has done a phenomenal job ever since he's
- 1:43:13taken over for all the people that have taken shots at him
- 1:43:16because he was an agent and all this other crap that we've
- 1:43:19heard. What were your thoughts when the
- 1:43:22Knicks decided to part ways with Tom Thibodeau, who's never taken
- 1:43:26a team to a Finals as a coach? And do you think that the Knicks
- 1:43:31already had an idea of who they were going to bring in?
- 1:43:33And the only reason why they have not saw, have not announced
- 1:43:37who they were bringing in because they wanted to make sure
- 1:43:41that the the playoffs were over. So they weren't taking or
- 1:43:43hovering over the the the finals and, and who was going to win or
- 1:43:48who was, who was going to, you know, be the champion of the NBA
- 1:43:51Finals. You think that was why Leon Rose
- 1:43:54decided to hold back on that? Yeah, I think, I think he who
- 1:43:58knows, he might be interviewing people that were that went deep
- 1:44:01into the playoffs, maybe an assistant coach somewhere that
- 1:44:04he likes or something like that. You know, that it was a little
- 1:44:08it was a little odd to see that firing because of the fact that,
- 1:44:12you know, the Knicks have done so well and and and, you know,
- 1:44:16they hadn't done been very good for a long time.
- 1:44:18So it was a little weird. You know, it kind of reminded me
- 1:44:22when the Warriors fired Mark Jackson, you know, if you ever
- 1:44:25kind of an eye roll there and raised eyebrows, well, it just
- 1:44:29wasn't a good fit. He was a good he did some great
- 1:44:31things. He got the Warriors to play
- 1:44:33defense and they hadn't played defense in like 15 years.
- 1:44:36So and he convinced Steph Curry and Klay Thompson that maybe
- 1:44:40they were better than what they were at that time.
- 1:44:44But he saw that they're going to be great players and, you know,
- 1:44:46kept calling the greatest shooting backcourt of all time.
- 1:44:49And that gave them a lot of confidence.
- 1:44:51And so he he started it, but the fit wasn't good, you know, with
- 1:44:56upper management, everything else.
- 1:44:57So to make that trip go farther, that's why they brought in Steve
- 1:45:01Kerr. And maybe that's why they.
- 1:45:02Yeah, I'm not. I have no inside knowledge.
- 1:45:04I am this. But maybe that's what part of it
- 1:45:06was that maybe they felt it just wasn't the right fit, that he's
- 1:45:09done a lot of great things. But we got looking for some
- 1:45:11other style to make that that next move.
- 1:45:15And you know, when I was a kid, I grew up in Connecticut and,
- 1:45:18you know, the Knicks were the the bomb when I was a kid that,
- 1:45:20you know, you know, everybody, you know, everybody wanted to be
- 1:45:23Walt Frazier and and Dave the Butcher.
- 1:45:25I wanted to be real Monroe because I couldn't jump, so I
- 1:45:27could do all that. I could only remember that Phil
- 1:45:32Jackson was like the 6th man off the bench or the 7th man and
- 1:45:36everybody says, well, Phil won two, two rings as a player.
- 1:45:39I said he was a decent player, wasn't a great player.
- 1:45:41Phil's known for his voice of reason and the Zen master he was
- 1:45:45as a head coach. Nobody gave a crap that he
- 1:45:47played for the Knicks the two years that he won a
- 1:45:49championship. So.
- 1:45:51Yeah, the Knicks of the 70s reminded me a lot of the
- 1:45:54Warriors in, in in 1415 and 1516 because they shared the ball and
- 1:46:00and everybody got a touch. They did have the stars and guys
- 1:46:02could really score like, like Steph.
- 1:46:04But it was a real, they were real team.
- 1:46:06And that that's it, you know, and that's one of the reasons I
- 1:46:09really love the Finals. I thought Indiana and Oklahoma
- 1:46:11City, for the most part, they played really strong team
- 1:46:14basketball. You know, everybody had the
- 1:46:16roles, but it wasn't, you know, just watching a guy go ISO the
- 1:46:20whole game and and, you know, back somebody down to try to get
- 1:46:23a A20 footer over the top of them.
- 1:46:25I I really enjoyed it. Tim, before we let go of
- 1:46:28quickly, do you think the NBA had it right, the LJA had it
- 1:46:32right that Cher Alexander was the MVP over Yokich after what
- 1:46:36Yokich did this year? Everybody we've seen this is a
- 1:46:39big man that had a triple double.
- 1:46:41I mean, we Russell Westbrook was the far and along the best
- 1:46:44player when he won, when he won, when he had a triple double,
- 1:46:47James Harden too. Do you think the NBA or the LJ
- 1:46:50had it wrong picking Shay Alexander over Yokich?
- 1:46:55Well, he was a great player on the best team in the league, so
- 1:46:59you got that. But also I also think because
- 1:47:01we're human beings and human beings vote for this, that there
- 1:47:05is a thing I, you know, MVP fatigue, you know, where if the
- 1:47:09guy's won it a couple times or won before they look around,
- 1:47:12find somebody else. You know, you could have given
- 1:47:14the MVP to Michael Jordan, you know, each of his last, you
- 1:47:17know, six years, but you know, he went to a couple of other
- 1:47:19guys because that I think they just got people got tired of
- 1:47:23voting for Michael. They wanted to see somebody else
- 1:47:24win the award. And so I, I think there's a
- 1:47:26little bit of, that's a human element, but, but you know, to
- 1:47:30me, either one of those guys was fine because I think they're
- 1:47:33both great players. And, and again, the, it's
- 1:47:37amazing to me, the amazing thing about watching pro sports in the
- 1:47:41NB for me, the NBA in particular, because I cover it,
- 1:47:44is that every six years or so, there's a whole new influx of
- 1:47:48young talent. You know, you see that in
- 1:47:49baseball now. It's a whole bunch of great
- 1:47:51young players coming in, in the MLB and the NFL is the same way.
- 1:47:55And, and it's, it really, it's amazing how you know, you get
- 1:47:59used to the crop of guys that are at the top of the list and
- 1:48:02then all of a sudden in three or four years you got to revise it
- 1:48:04again because all these guys are coming in and just take it over.
- 1:48:07So the real answer to that is the LJA got it wrong.
- 1:48:13Don't. Get the LJA too much passion.
- 1:48:15The LJA really had its way. Next, next time, next time just
- 1:48:20e-mail me the answers you want, okay?
- 1:48:22And I'll just go. You gave it to me, I mean.
- 1:48:24Think of it this way though, if the LGA really got what it want
- 1:48:27the the top three MVP would be LeBron, Brawny, and then his son
- 1:48:31that hasn't even been drafted yet.
- 1:48:33I knew it. By the way, Cooper Flagg is a
- 1:48:38sensational player. He's the next face of United
- 1:48:40States basketball. So Mr. Colostomy bag who came
- 1:48:44out on the Bill Simmons show saying that he's no good or he
- 1:48:48says that he is. What did he compared to that
- 1:48:50left shrimp? What an idiot.
- 1:48:52I mean, what a ridiculous take. Bill Simmons PUPU.
- 1:48:57OK, what a disgusting disgrace of a man that has to come out
- 1:49:02and says says something stupid like that.
- 1:49:04But nevertheless, Tim, I don't want to get you in trouble.
- 1:49:06The LJ might be lurking. OK, so we love you.
- 1:49:09Keep up the good work. Before I let you go, we had
- 1:49:12Brian Snowman on our show. He called up.
- 1:49:15He's on our network. He does the morning show on our
- 1:49:19our. And he met you a couple, I think
- 1:49:20a couple of years ago. He said he'd met you in Chicago.
- 1:49:22In Chicago, he would love to get you on the show.
- 1:49:25If we give you his information, would you be interested in going
- 1:49:29on the show? Sure.
- 1:49:30I'll do. All right.
- 1:49:32Thank you so much, Timmy. Timmy, we love you.
- 1:49:34You're the best in the business. We do.
- 1:49:37Thanks so much. Appreciate it.
- 1:49:38Take care. Tim Roy, The one and only, the
- 1:49:41one and only. Let's give it up.
- 1:49:45Let's give it. Up Timmy.
- 1:49:47Timmy loves the show he does. And I want to say something.
- 1:49:51Tim knows for the facts of the way the LGA works that the LGA
- 1:49:56was absolutely a junk organization that knows that the
- 1:50:02Yokage Trend should have been the one and only MVP of the
- 1:50:06league. I'm just, I'm just speaking the
- 1:50:07truth here. The LJ got it wrong as he was
- 1:50:11trying to be very nice about it. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:50:14we call this segment sounded out.
- 1:50:17Take a roll here. J Quelin.
- 1:50:18Where's J Quelin at? No J Quelin here.
- 1:50:20Do you mean Jacqueline? Let's sound it out.
- 1:50:23What you call me? Sound it out, out, out.
- 1:50:29Here we. Go.
- 1:50:30Oh, Errol, it's back. You come back we're back with
- 1:50:34another episode of sounded out phonics shamanics Errol's got it
- 1:50:42Are you ready because we're going to go into after this
- 1:50:45segment preview of the NBA draft, which is on Wednesday and
- 1:50:49Thursday we. Will go over.
- 1:50:52First round of the draft on our Thursday show, while the second
- 1:50:56round is going on, maybe we'll be some, we'll talk about some
- 1:50:59sleepers in the top half of the second round.
- 1:51:02I'm sure nobody's really going to talk about the third string
- 1:51:05polar center that gets drafted #60 but we'll see what happens.
- 1:51:10Because Errol, I've got three names from the NBA draft in the
- 1:51:15past 10 years that you're going to have to sound out on
- 1:51:19tonight's episode of Sounded Out.
- 1:51:21Are you ready to play? I guess you can throw a couple
- 1:51:24curves and if I can catch it I'm in good shape.
- 1:51:27Oh, here's the first one. I think it was the last pick of
- 1:51:30the draft a couple of years ago, Errol sounded.
- 1:51:34Out. Giorgio's hold on Collate Zacus.
- 1:51:41Collate Zacus. Speedy.
- 1:51:44It is Giorgos Khaledzicus. This is that does not sound the
- 1:51:51same. She was actually the last
- 1:51:55you're. Right.
- 1:51:56She was the last pick of the draft, actually, by the Thunder.
- 1:51:59By the the the championship winning.
- 1:52:02Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
- 1:52:04I thought I was pretty good. I think I.
- 1:52:06Sounded Tommy. Restart the music.
- 1:52:08Let's see if he can't keep his mojo going for the next one on
- 1:52:13tonight, Sounded out Errol. Please.
- 1:52:15Moving on it down the draft line, here it is.
- 1:52:20Oh my. God.
- 1:52:21Sounded out. Biondu hold on Kebenjella,
- 1:52:29Kebenjelli. Kebenjelli.
- 1:52:33Speedy, the first name was actually pretty good.
- 1:52:35It's Fayandu and then, but the last one last name is Cabin
- 1:52:39Galley. It was the late round draft pick
- 1:52:43of the Brooklyn Nets from Florida States.
- 1:52:45How wonderful A. Florida State team, I think you
- 1:52:48said was going to go to the Final Four that year.
- 1:52:50Yes, I did nature. Choked on that one.
- 1:52:56Oh, and two. But again, all it takes is 1 to
- 1:53:01go one for 3/3/30 full batting. Average is an all.
- 1:53:05Star in any league. Can we do it tonight?
- 1:53:10Here it is. Errol sounded out.
- 1:53:20Are you? Are you serious, Timothy?
- 1:53:25Lua wua cabrata? You're not Lua Wu, right?
- 1:53:32Timothy. It's Timothy, Yeah.
- 1:53:35It must be. French Lua Wu you got right, and
- 1:53:38then Cabarro. Ridiculous, ridiculous,
- 1:53:44ridiculous segment, ladies and gentlemen, because I will say
- 1:53:47this for all you people out there that we're trying or even
- 1:53:51try to sound these names out. Good friggin luck, OK?
- 1:53:56It's not easy. Yes, I'm very bad with when it
- 1:53:59comes to certain names. That name is like a mouthful.
- 1:54:03I mean, you can spit, you can jerk, and you still probably
- 1:54:07wouldn't get it right. So that's all I'm going to say
- 1:54:09about that. Sweetie.
- 1:54:10Listen, have you spit on anything over the last couple of
- 1:54:13days? On anything specifically not
- 1:54:17offhand that I could think of. Not offhand.
- 1:54:22Did you guys get that one? Not offhand.
- 1:54:28I'm sorry, I just had to do that.
- 1:54:34Anyways, with the NBA Draft 2 days away, there have been many
- 1:54:39draft rumors around several projected top five picks,
- 1:54:44including Rutgers forward Ace Bailey, ESP.
- 1:54:47NS Jonathan Gavani, but reported that Bailey has not had any
- 1:54:53workouts with teams and cancelled a meeting scheduled to
- 1:54:5776ers. One Western Conference NBA
- 1:55:00executive said that Bailey could be out of the league in five
- 1:55:04years if he ends up in the wrong situation.
- 1:55:08Many NBA executive believe another top five projected pick
- 1:55:13baller guard VJ Edgecomb, right. Am I right?
- 1:55:17Yes, won't average 12 points per game in the NBA.
- 1:55:21ESPN reports that the 76ers very high in Edgecomb, but are still
- 1:55:27trying to trade up with the Spurs at #2 to draft guard Dylan
- 1:55:34Harper. Even though the Spurs are
- 1:55:37unlikely to trade out of the pick, The Athletic David
- 1:55:40Aldridge reports that the Eastern Conference scouts don't
- 1:55:44see Duke guard Con hold on Canoble as a difference maker in
- 1:55:50the NBA. Aldridge added that multiple ACC
- 1:55:54coaches who have had or played against Cooper Flagg think he
- 1:56:00will be a generational talent in the NBA and thinks that he plays
- 1:56:05the right way without the big ego that has hurt top NBA
- 1:56:11prospects. I have said this for the last
- 1:56:16eight years, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:56:18You can sell it, You can dish it when it comes to the LJA, you
- 1:56:22can sell me and throw me to the walls if I'm wrong about this.
- 1:56:26Cooper Flag is going to be one of the top five players in the
- 1:56:31NBA in the next 4 years. You've heard it here.
- 1:56:34There is no argument to that. His ability to do the things
- 1:56:38that he does well. He's a good rebounder, he's a
- 1:56:42good shooter. His three-point shot is going to
- 1:56:44get better. He is the white Kevin Durant.
- 1:56:49I have said this for a long, long time and people thought I
- 1:56:52was nuts. Well, how do you do that?
- 1:56:54How could you compare that? He's not a great shooter.
- 1:56:56Let let let's go through Kevin Durant's background where he
- 1:57:00came from Texas and the Longhorns.
- 1:57:02Kevin Durant was a great offensive player.
- 1:57:04He was the number two pick in the draft.
- 1:57:06He was drafted right behind a guy was an absolute bombshell
- 1:57:09who didn't even play at a really a full season with the of the
- 1:57:14Portland Trail Blazers and then was out of the NBA four years.
- 1:57:17Really. I I I understand why people
- 1:57:20don't like Cooper flag. He's not he's not a athletically
- 1:57:24gifted talent in their eyes. He doesn't show you why he would
- 1:57:29be a Kyrie Irving coming from Duke or Grant Hill or even a
- 1:57:33Bobby Hurley. We've seen over the years come
- 1:57:36from the Duke Blue Devils, even a Jason Jason Williams.
- 1:57:40Here's why. This guy is a generational
- 1:57:43talent. This guy doesn't talk about
- 1:57:45anybody. He doesn't throw anybody under
- 1:57:47the bus. He goes out there, plays his
- 1:57:48heart out, he blocks. He is a Ultimate Team player.
- 1:57:52The Mavericks got a gem. He is going to be a better
- 1:57:55player than Luka Doncic. And this draft who everybody
- 1:57:59thought was going to be an all time great draft, I, I just
- 1:58:02don't see it. There's a lot of questions in
- 1:58:05this coming draft. The Bailey thing, I don't know
- 1:58:08what E Bailey is going to be. I think he's a top five draft
- 1:58:12pick. I don't understand why people
- 1:58:14don't like him. I like that he has gone out and
- 1:58:18said what he has said after the fact.
- 1:58:21This guy is an ultimate talented player and if he falls and he
- 1:58:24falls out of the first round and he falls to the New York Knicks,
- 1:58:28a slam dunk. We have seen this before.
- 1:58:30As a matter of fact, we saw that this year in the NFL, and I'll
- 1:58:35say this again, as we have seen from the Sanders boy, Shador
- 1:58:39Sanders opening his mouth and twiddling around with his nice
- 1:58:43fancy cars and his NIL deals, Ace Bailey is not as bad as
- 1:58:48Shador Sanders. Is he a good person?
- 1:58:50I don't know. I don't know him personally, I
- 1:58:52don't know his family, I don't know where it comes from.
- 1:58:55What I do know is Rutgers basketball was a pretty good
- 1:58:59basketball program and this guy was looked at as a top 10
- 1:59:02prospect for how many years? This guy Before the season last
- 1:59:07year they said Ace Bailey was going to be a top five, top six
- 1:59:11pick in next year's Raft class. So why any GM or executive
- 1:59:16thinks that this guy is going to be a bomb shows you how stupid
- 1:59:19the LGA and these organizations are.
- 1:59:22Now the Spurs are an organization that's going to be
- 1:59:25looking for a point guard. The Aaron Fox is not a good fit
- 1:59:29over there with the Spurs. I never thought it was a good
- 1:59:31fit. I could see them drafting at
- 1:59:34number at #2 the point guard. I think Dylan Harper, which he's
- 1:59:38the guard who everybody thinks is the second best player in
- 1:59:41this class, I think he goes there.
- 1:59:43I think D Aaron Fox will be traded in the offseason, maybe
- 1:59:47at the draft to get a tremendous amount of players for D Aaron
- 1:59:52Fox. The Spurs are maybe if they get
- 1:59:55and and this kid Park, Dylan Harper becomes the player that I
- 1:59:59think he's going to become. You're a player away from being
- 2:00:01a contender in the NBA, in the Western Conference.
- 2:00:04The Spurs he almost have a four wingspan.
- 2:00:07Yeah, he, he's special man. He's a great ball handler.
- 2:00:11He can shoot. He could do all these things and
- 2:00:14he could defend multiple positions.
- 2:00:16He I've seen him, I've seen him defend threes at some points
- 2:00:20this year for Rutgers and comes from a program that plays
- 2:00:23defense, really good defense. Yes, he's played fours and he's
- 2:00:27a guard. He's a 1.
- 2:00:29So I mean he's special and everybody keeps talking about
- 2:00:32Tyrese Halbern. He is the identical match of a
- 2:00:37Tyrese Halbern, maybe even better athletically.
- 2:00:40So Tyrese Halpern can't defend like this kid.
- 2:00:43So I I mean, this kid is going to be he's not Cooper flag good,
- 2:00:48but he's right under for his talents.
- 2:00:51So I I don't get it. Why everybody?
- 2:00:53And by the way, canoople is a great offensive talent.
- 2:00:56I have no idea what any of these NBA executives are thinking.
- 2:01:00This guy was the second best player on the Duke Blue Devils
- 2:01:02this year offensively. Even in going to the Final four,
- 2:01:06this guy was as good as Cooper fled.
- 2:01:08To say like later in the tournament, he was probably the
- 2:01:10best player. Yeah, I don't get it.
- 2:01:13I I don't get what they're saying.
- 2:01:14But again, the NBA has always gotten it wrong.
- 2:01:17Did anybody think that certain players were going to?
- 2:01:20How about the Greek Freak? Why did he fall all the way to
- 2:01:22what, 1516 the way he did to Milwaukee?
- 2:01:25Where where are the NBA executives on that one?
- 2:01:27Idiots. How about Yokich falling to the
- 2:01:30second round? Where were the NBA executives on
- 2:01:32that one? I could go on and on and on.
- 2:01:35The NBA executives are as good as the LGA has been.
- 2:01:39When LeBron James or the LeBron James Association was built,
- 2:01:43built when he was drafted in 2000, what was it, 4 or 2006 or
- 2:01:47three, whatever. I mean, it was born and built
- 2:01:51through that draft class because we all know what came out of
- 2:01:54that draft class. Carmelo Anthony and the one and
- 2:01:57only Dwyane Wade. So I just think that this is an
- 2:02:01absolute mockery. I don't know how.
- 2:02:03First of all, the NBA is a wishy wash.
- 2:02:06You don't know how these players going to be.
- 2:02:07Do I think this class is going to be great?
- 2:02:09I don't know. But I could tell you there's at
- 2:02:11least four really good players in his class.
- 2:02:14And the three guys that we have mentioned, Bailey Harper and the
- 2:02:18one and only flag, those are three, all three of them are
- 2:02:22going to be good players in the NBA.
- 2:02:24Shame on the Colostromy bag or anybody that comes out and says
- 2:02:27the stupidity or remarks the stupid shit that we've heard
- 2:02:30over the last couple of weeks. Yeah, Edgecomb's a talented
- 2:02:34player too. Again, undersized.
- 2:02:36Maybe that's why a lot of these executives are are more
- 2:02:37concerned about him. But we've seen a lot of these
- 2:02:40quicker point guards still be good in today's game.
- 2:02:42Now again, it's not as much of A point guard driven league as we
- 2:02:44saw even like last decade we were talking about with Tim Roy
- 2:02:47with with Steph Curry and a lot of these other dynamic back
- 2:02:49courts that we've seen over the years.
- 2:02:51But at the same time, that doesn't mean you can't have one
- 2:02:53focal point with somebody like Edgecomb who's still 64, could
- 2:02:56bulk into his body a lot more too.
- 2:02:58So anything thinking he's going to fall out of the top ten like
- 2:03:00a lot of these rumors? Are, and a lot of these foreign
- 2:03:02players come out of nowhere too. We, I, I, I wouldn't be
- 2:03:05surprised if two or three of these foreign players become
- 2:03:07stars in the league because the NBA has become an international
- 2:03:11game. As we all know, the three best
- 2:03:13players in the league this year were what?
- 2:03:16Foreign players, right? And there's 2 French guys that
- 2:03:19could go top. I was.
- 2:03:20Just going to mention that. Yep, a sangue is the one that's
- 2:03:22projected. I don't believe in these French
- 2:03:24guys, honestly, I, I really, I've not been.
- 2:03:27They did play well in any of them.
- 2:03:28They did play well in the Olympics, though, especially as
- 2:03:30Sangay playing well just as well as Wembe at certain points
- 2:03:33during the the the group stages. And he's, according to this ESPN
- 2:03:36mock draft, expect to be #9 and fish, like you were saying.
- 2:03:39He could even climb into maybe the fringe top five if somebody
- 2:03:42else falls like Knipple, like Trey Johnson is another one
- 2:03:45that's projected possibly to fall with similar issues like
- 2:03:48Bailey's having. It's just a lot of this pre
- 2:03:50draft process. But like I'm saying, like a lot
- 2:03:52of these kids are young. Like these pre draft processes
- 2:03:54aren't like in the NFL where they're like conducting all
- 2:03:56these interviews and doing all these tests for them.
- 2:03:59I'm not hearing that it's because of the young kids,
- 2:04:01though. I'm hearing it's because of
- 2:04:04representation, that Bailey's representation has cancelled
- 2:04:08workouts with three teams because.
- 2:04:11He doesn't want to go there. One of them, he doesn't want to
- 2:04:13go there. Right.
- 2:04:13And that's, that's the point, right.
- 2:04:15So they're trying to do a manipulation of the draft, which
- 2:04:18we really haven't seen agents be as brazen as this trying to do
- 2:04:22in the NBA. We've seen in the NFL, we know
- 2:04:25Eli Manning forced his way to New York.
- 2:04:28We know years ago John Elway forced his way to the Broncos.
- 2:04:32We know this happens every once in a while.
- 2:04:34Oh, Jackson did, too. From Tampa.
- 2:04:35To oh, Jackson famously right, sat out the entire year and then
- 2:04:39was taken and they didn't even realize he could be drafted and
- 2:04:42he got taken at the end of the draft the next.
- 2:04:44Year and now. Shamar Stewart could do that
- 2:04:45this year. Imagine if that happens.
- 2:04:48That's a whole other story. I can't wait.
- 2:04:49If that does happen, we will talk about it in great detail
- 2:04:52with the Bengals. I mean, there was even like a
- 2:04:54kid who like was making fun of Joe Burrow for not making the
- 2:04:57playoffs and like they got to get defense on his team.
- 2:05:01See that went viral the other day.
- 2:05:02But. Guys, the NBA draft for me, I
- 2:05:06just wanted to cover a couple of guys.
- 2:05:08You talked about Edgecomb. I really like Edgecomb.
- 2:05:10I think there's there's a lot of weird stuff that's going to
- 2:05:13happen in the top seven. I don't think teams are dumb
- 2:05:16enough to bite on this agent nonsense of we're not going to
- 2:05:19see Ace Bailey work out, so he's going to fall below 3.
- 2:05:22He's going three. I'm sorry.
- 2:05:25Everybody knows he is that next guy.
- 2:05:28He's a prototypical wing. He had like a big wing.
- 2:05:32He's an offensive player. He projects to be long
- 2:05:35defensively and get more athletic with that frame.
- 2:05:38He's probably not done growing. I can't see him going lower than
- 2:05:42four at the latest of a team really likes Edge.
- 2:05:44Could you say that's a big trade up possibility too?
- 2:05:46I know Utah very could you? Remember the last time 2 Rutgers
- 2:05:50players in the NBA Draft were drafted in the top five?
- 2:05:55Never have. I don't even remember the last
- 2:05:57Rutger player that was drafted in a top five.
- 2:06:00Because they only just became a power conference like 10 Stony
- 2:06:03Brook representation baby by Cal doing a great job coaching this
- 2:06:07and. Like.
- 2:06:08Even that it took them like 15 years, They've only been a Power
- 2:06:11Five team, a Big 10 team for 15 years about, and they've only
- 2:06:14been a really good basketball team probably the last five
- 2:06:16years. Trying to find the A list, maybe
- 2:06:20one of our interns can find the highest drafted Rutgers players
- 2:06:23of all time, but it's for sure these two guys are going to do
- 2:06:26it. And there's a reason why I'm not
- 2:06:27even going to mention Bailey at 3 above 3, because there's no
- 2:06:31doubt that Dylan Harper is going to.
- 2:06:33This guy's unbelievable. He he's great.
- 2:06:37He is a prize as well. In many other drafts you know
- 2:06:41that didn't have Cooper flag in it, he would be #1 number. 100%
- 2:06:45he he is. Fantastic player.
- 2:06:47I mean, you could just see him dicing everybody up in college.
- 2:06:50I like his hair, that's my favorite part of his game.
- 2:06:53Well. We'll see.
- 2:06:54You know, if you don't remember, like James Harden didn't do any
- 2:06:56of the hair stuff until he got out of the out of college, you
- 2:07:00know, So who knows? What he is a more athletic
- 2:07:03Tyrese Halper and who can defend too, That's what he is.
- 2:07:06He's a better he's a better you know, on paper, you know, not
- 2:07:10can't talk about the IQ, the stuff, the intangible stuff that
- 2:07:14Halliburton has shown that he can do now in the clutch
- 2:07:16playing. We don't know about that, but
- 2:07:19better athlete. He's a better athlete 65 point
- 2:07:23guard, same thing, right. He's he's a little bit it looks
- 2:07:26like he's a little bit stronger and I.
- 2:07:29Jake got him. James Bailey 1979 Drafted six
- 2:07:33overall in 1979. This is obviously going to break
- 2:07:37it, so it's really impressive. Thank you.
- 2:07:39It's really impressive. Rutgers, you know.
- 2:07:42I want to go back. It's really cool I.
- 2:07:43Want to go back to something Errol was mentioning too, like
- 2:07:45if they do draft Dylan Harper, they still have Stefan Castle
- 2:07:48there. There are rumors they are
- 2:07:49looking to shop the number 14 pick that they also have.
- 2:07:52Would they could could they include that with Fox in a
- 2:07:54potential deal is something that could be interesting.
- 2:07:56They're looking for something bigger there.
- 2:07:58Are a lot of teams right now? We've mentioned the Golden State
- 2:08:01Warriors, the New York Knicks that don't have a first round
- 2:08:03draft pick next year. The Knicks have to possibly it
- 2:08:06all depends on the Wizards this and by the way the the LJA with
- 2:08:10this crap with the unprotected protected picks, That is
- 2:08:15ridiculous. I don't want to hear this
- 2:08:17anymore. The NBA has to get this this
- 2:08:20statistic or the way they calculate an unprotected and
- 2:08:24protected pick. Yeah, hockey and football do it
- 2:08:25fine. Why don't do conditional?
- 2:08:26If you if you trade the pick, the pick goes to that team.
- 2:08:31Stop. Well, if it's a top 11 pick,
- 2:08:34they, they keep their pick. That doesn't make any sense.
- 2:08:37You're giving up a prospect. How many times have we seen the
- 2:08:40Knicks over the last couple of years give up a, a top 12 pick
- 2:08:44And they're, they get the other teams pick the year after or two
- 2:08:48years after, which is if, if, if it's, if it's a top 11 pick,
- 2:08:52it's, it's protected and they they don't get the pick.
- 2:08:54And then they got to wait another year.
- 2:08:56And if it gets there and then all all of a sudden it falls all
- 2:08:58the way to a second round pick. How is that fair?
- 2:09:00The Knicks lost two of them in the same draft.
- 2:09:02How is that fair? It doesn't make it look what
- 2:09:04they did with Kristaps Porzingis.
- 2:09:06I mean, they got screwed off that Chris, Kristaps Porzingis
- 2:09:09train. What did they get out of that?
- 2:09:11They got nothing. They lost Chris and it helped
- 2:09:14them. It helped the Boston Celtics
- 2:09:15because they won an NBA title a couple years later because he
- 2:09:19gets traded over there. It doesn't make sense and the
- 2:09:22NBA or the LJ needs to fix this. LeBron James needs to sit with
- 2:09:26Mr. Dumbo himself and have a conversation on how this works
- 2:09:30because it doesn't make sense. They they created the Bird
- 2:09:33situation because the Larry Bird Bird writes that that helped the
- 2:09:38Celtics and a lot of other teams.
- 2:09:39How does this help teams like the Knicks or even the Chicago
- 2:09:42Bulls over the years that they got screwed?
- 2:09:45OK, it doesn't make sense. And the NBA or the LJA or the
- 2:09:50Rudy Gobert NBA garbage. I mean, it's just it doesn't I
- 2:09:56made it mention Rudy Gobert because nobody even remembers
- 2:09:58Rudy Gobert. But the the fact is.
- 2:10:01Draymond Green does, yeah. That's about it.
- 2:10:03He's the only one. The fact is the LJ has to figure
- 2:10:08out how this makes sense. It's not fair to other
- 2:10:11organizations that are put in a situation where they they have a
- 2:10:15number seven pick or 8th pick. They traded away because a team
- 2:10:18wants a certain player. But the year after, two years
- 2:10:21later. If it's not, if it's a protected
- 2:10:24pick, the other team could lose the option to get that pick
- 2:10:28because of how bad they are. Two years.
- 2:10:30If you trade the pick, that pick, no matter how bad they
- 2:10:33are, goes to that team no matter what.
- 2:10:36And that has to be cleaned up because in the new CBA and, and
- 2:10:40the way the new CBA comes out, what when's the next CBA?
- 2:10:43Three years from now, Four years from now?
- 2:10:45I don't know when it is, but I. Think we said three last time
- 2:10:48we. Looked it has to it has to be
- 2:10:49cleaned up this this is the one thing that I think is affected
- 2:10:53my thoughts or even optional thoughts or trading away picks
- 2:10:57at any point in the draft because it's.
- 2:10:59Not fair to make sense of it, right?
- 2:11:01You know, like, as a as a fan that like loves the sport, it's
- 2:11:04hard to even tell what teams are doing.
- 2:11:07You know that like a guy like Sam Presti just is going to have
- 2:11:09picks because he's a magician with it.
- 2:11:11And that's why they're in the position they're at.
- 2:11:13But when you have these deals with how the Knicks got screwed
- 2:11:15out of picks the last couple years.
- 2:11:17Two years in a row. I like it.
- 2:11:18You know, it's it's teams are manipulating it.
- 2:11:22Once that happens, you got to fix it.
- 2:11:23I wanted to talk about two guys before we finish the subject
- 2:11:27that I want to put up a highlight of the first guy is
- 2:11:30from Duke, the Duke center malloc now great player.
- 2:11:35So here's the thing. I don't know if he's a great
- 2:11:38player. He's got great size, but when
- 2:11:42you watch him play, he only does a couple of things right.
- 2:11:45He doesn't have a diverse offensive game, to put it
- 2:11:48mildly. He's a rim runner now that's
- 2:11:50great and he has size on defense, but you're just
- 2:11:52projecting right now, right, you're just projecting, but
- 2:11:55Mitchell Robinson was projected in the same way as a second
- 2:11:58round pick. So I hold on Well, hold on.
- 2:12:02He was 1880 he. Decided to play overseas,
- 2:12:04remember, Or the G League. What did he do?
- 2:12:06He went overseas. He decided.
- 2:12:08He decided. I'll say this right now,
- 2:12:11Mitchell Robinson would have been a top five, top seven pick
- 2:12:15if if that's that stuff didn't happen and he decided he was
- 2:12:19supposed to go to SMU. Remember that I think it was
- 2:12:21SMU, Larry Brown. I'm not, I don't quote me on it,
- 2:12:24but I think that was the team and he decided not to play and
- 2:12:28that. Hurt him.
- 2:12:28I'm playing for Larry Brown. That Larry Brown's career.
- 2:12:31I'm just saying that hurt him and he was projected to be a top
- 2:12:35five, top seven pick in the draft and he fell all the way to
- 2:12:38the second round and and by the way, the Knicks got lucky that
- 2:12:41he fell to the Knicks. That was one pick that the
- 2:12:43Knicks really got lucky. And by the way, way, if you look
- 2:12:45at Mitch Robinson, Mitch Robinson when healthy is one of
- 2:12:48the best centers in the NBA. So if Malik is anywhere close to
- 2:12:52that kind of player, you got a gem.
- 2:12:54That's what you want. And centers do not grow on
- 2:12:56trees. Guys that could defend, block
- 2:12:58and do the things that when he was on, when he was in the game,
- 2:13:02especially all the way to the Final Four, he played a big
- 2:13:04factor in every part of those games on why the Duke Blue
- 2:13:08Devils moved on. So I disagree with you.
- 2:13:10I think he's a good player and he can absolutely build a shot.
- 2:13:13We've seen big men build shots as we see one right now with the
- 2:13:17Boston Celtics that's won a title just recently.
- 2:13:20He's now an old timer, but he wasn't a great shooter when he
- 2:13:23went to the NBA so. I don't disagree, I just feel
- 2:13:26like it would break like a pattern these days where those
- 2:13:29types of guys are generally not taken as high because that the
- 2:13:33skill set. You have to be super athletic,
- 2:13:35you can't be slow. You have to be able to rotate to
- 2:13:38the perimeter like Mitch. Right?
- 2:13:39But if Mitch had the exposure of Duke, maybe he does go in this
- 2:13:43spot where Malacca is being projected to go as like a 7th or
- 2:13:468th pick. I'm sorry, Moloch Duran would.
- 2:13:48Mess up I think it's a good analogy where they could go like
- 2:13:51he went 12 still with having similar size and I think
- 2:13:54quickness for a big man. I think that Moloch does have.
- 2:13:56I don't know if he has the upside of Duran like overall,
- 2:13:58but he's still pretty good skill set wise.
- 2:14:01That's what I say though, like him at 8, it feels a little high
- 2:14:05just from what you've seen recently, that's all.
- 2:14:08I don't think he's going to be a bad player.
- 2:14:09I just think with his skill set, the guy that I'm fascinated by,
- 2:14:12I'm going to play. His highlight is Mr. Fears from
- 2:14:16Oklahoma. If you watched any Oklahoma,
- 2:14:18this guy, I like him, is so much fun to watch play, but he
- 2:14:23doesn't play a whole lot of defense.
- 2:14:25That's bad. He's really exciting.
- 2:14:28Opportunity of right. Great handle.
- 2:14:31Could be like. I would say more like a he's
- 2:14:35about. He's the same size as Kyrie.
- 2:14:36You think he's 636263? He reminds me of a A.
- 2:14:39Kyrie 180. Derrick Rose, his game likes to
- 2:14:43go to the hole. He goes to the hole strong.
- 2:14:45He's a great ball. He's better ball handler than
- 2:14:47Derrick Rose. But the guy has a tremendous
- 2:14:50ability going and by the way, he can go left and right.
- 2:14:52So I, I, I know who you're talking about, He's a guy that
- 2:14:56could be a steal in the draft. Could be a steal.
- 2:14:59He either is going to figure it out competently on defense and
- 2:15:02be able to play within a season. He doesn't have to be the NBA.
- 2:15:05The LJA has become a one-dimensional type of game,
- 2:15:08but. Again, it's also with a size
- 2:15:09thing like I think it wasn't because of lack of effort.
- 2:15:12Oklahoma as a defensive minded coach over there.
- 2:15:15Porter Moser, who's? Which is surprising because
- 2:15:17their football team in our for over the years, Lincoln Riley.
- 2:15:22Lincoln Riley and even Bob Stoops, but he was coaching
- 2:15:24there. Before that.
- 2:15:25They never had great defensive teams either, But they get
- 2:15:27Porter Moser, who was Loyola Chicago's coach, who was one of
- 2:15:29the best defensive defenses in the country.
- 2:15:31And then he goes over there, Oklahoma, we talk about, we
- 2:15:34talk, we talk about all here how historically good SEC basketball
- 2:15:37was this year. And that could have been a lot
- 2:15:39of the stats they were rigged against him.
- 2:15:41But it's also the size 63180. It's just not as big for the NBA
- 2:15:44game. But I think that's something
- 2:15:45that can be developed with. Good.
- 2:15:47I don't understand either. I don't care how tall you are.
- 2:15:50Mugsy Bogues was in the league. He was like 5 foot four.
- 2:15:53OK, I understand the league in the game is different and and
- 2:15:57and Steph Curry has really brought that out.
- 2:15:59When Steph Curry came into leak, he was thin, he was scrawny, and
- 2:16:03I think he grew 2 inches. When he came out came out from
- 2:16:06Davidson, he was like 6-1. When he came out of the NBA
- 2:16:10draft, he grew 2 inches. When he was in the NBA, he was
- 2:16:14small, skinny, scrawny, and nobody thought he was going to
- 2:16:17last in the NBA or the LJ. And look what he's turned out to
- 2:16:20be. He's become one of the best
- 2:16:22players in the NBA over the last 1213 years.
- 2:16:25I don't want to hear it anymore about size.
- 2:16:27Size doesn't matter unless you're in the bed.
- 2:16:29If you're in the sack, speedy size matters besides.
- 2:16:33That cares about that more. Size matters.
- 2:16:35Speaking of Nathan, we've missed Nathan and we have breaking
- 2:16:38news. Ladies, breaking news, I farted.
- 2:16:40That's the truth. I farted too by the way, and it
- 2:16:43smells. Fart noise and.
- 2:16:46My farts don't smell, I still have those salty feelings over
- 2:16:51here in my pants and it definitely stunk.
- 2:16:53I, I, I, I'll be honest, you can ask Brittany.
- 2:16:56I heard her. Moan in the other room about.
- 2:16:58That Brittany. Are you here?
- 2:16:59Come over here. I I I want her.
- 2:17:01I want. Her to hold on here, can we cut
- 2:17:03salty farts in my pants? She I I definitely want her to
- 2:17:07say, you know, she she smelt the the salty fart Speedy get her on
- 2:17:12for a second right, just for a second.
- 2:17:14I come on, speak it to the mic. It was horrible.
- 2:17:20That was horrible. It was definitely something that
- 2:17:24you don't want to imagine, but they definitely, I definitely
- 2:17:27probably scared a bunch of giraffes out of the bedroom.
- 2:17:30So it was a it was an interesting smell, but
- 2:17:33definitely something. What am I in a jail cell right
- 2:17:36there? Oh, there I am.
- 2:17:36Yes, that's probably true. And there's the sharks waiting
- 2:17:40for me when I go in the water. By the way, I didn't realize
- 2:17:43that Bermuda is around coral reefs and sharks don't really
- 2:17:47hang out around there. But then again, Brittany didn't
- 2:17:50realize that that the guy was we were driving and he said, well,
- 2:17:53there were hammerheads seen, you know, you know, somewhere around
- 2:17:56the waters over the last couple of months.
- 2:17:58And she like, if I heard that, I would have went on a jet ski.
- 2:18:00So we were on the jet skis, by the way, got great video on it.
- 2:18:04I definitely got to send you the video.
- 2:18:05So you guys, because you hear her ski.
- 2:18:10So she had fuck, I'm just pissing.
- 2:18:13I I like pissing her off. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:18:17we call this segment Tic Tac. No tic tic.

- 2:20:30I got boobies too. He may look, Nathan might just
- 2:20:35bench all the time. Maybe he puts up 3 football.
- 2:20:38We don't even know. Oh no.
- 2:20:40He tried to challenge, what was it, a push up competition?
- 2:20:43He tried to challenge you too. Like in. 2019 or something?
- 2:20:46He did. That was a that was a joke.
- 2:20:48I knew the blue box. Of competition between you and
- 2:20:52Nathan. I know you.
- 2:20:53I want to. See, listen, I could do more one
- 2:20:56arms than Nathan could do 2 arms, OK?
- 2:20:59There's no chance. By the way, I did a sexy man
- 2:21:02contest over there on the first day.
- 2:21:04Yeah, You, you did mention that. I, I did tell us a little bit
- 2:21:07about it. So it's.
- 2:21:08Funny. It's funny because I was
- 2:21:09actually after the sexy man contest.
- 2:21:12I was on the television. So they did like a intro of of
- 2:21:16the board and everything that's going on on the ship.
- 2:21:18I was like center stage. So I it was at the last minute,
- 2:21:22there were seven guys and there was these two old ladies and it
- 2:21:25was like a sexy man leg contest. So I don't know why it was legs.
- 2:21:29So everybody was going out, they were dancing and all this other
- 2:21:33stuff. People were coming on stage, so
- 2:21:35Brittany and this lane Lane was out there.
- 2:21:38The hairdresser, she was like, go ahead, Errol, join, join
- 2:21:42this. I wasn't thinking about doing
- 2:21:43it, but I said, you know what? I don't give a crap.
- 2:21:45I'll go out there. So I go up to the guy that's
- 2:21:47presenting it and doing it. And I said, OK, I'll, I'll do
- 2:21:50this. You said you're the last one.
- 2:21:52I said, all right, I'll do it. What?
- 2:21:53What are you going to bring to the table?
- 2:21:55I said sexiness and and this so I I start, I start doing my
- 2:22:00dance all the way to the girl. The lady there's only I put my
- 2:22:03leg on top of the bout where she was sitting and I try to pull
- 2:22:07his. I was about to pull her head to
- 2:22:09my crotch. I didn't want to do it.
- 2:22:11I didn't want to get arrested for it.
- 2:22:13And then I did like these ultimate push ups and I was
- 2:22:16bouncing up and down from the these ladies were shocked how
- 2:22:20many pushups I was doing. I was bouncing around and the
- 2:22:23way I was doing it was absolutely hilarious the whole
- 2:22:26time after, by the way, I came in second place because this guy
- 2:22:30had this, these flappable legs. It was the ugly.
- 2:22:33It was the weirdest and most disgusting shit I've ever seen
- 2:22:36in my entire life. His legs flapping, dude, his nut
- 2:22:39sack was dropping with his legs. It was absolutely disgusting.
- 2:22:42But he won. I was second place throughout
- 2:22:46the ship the whole time these ladies that saw me, all they
- 2:22:50kept saying is you are the sexiest, you have the sexiest
- 2:22:53legs. You could ask Brittany the whole
- 2:22:55time, what was this? What kind of music is this on?
- 2:22:58Here it's it's analytics music. Somebody slipped it in.
- 2:23:01I I I I don't think it's fish, but.

- 2:23:41saying, oh, you won. You definitely won.
- 2:23:43You definitely won. I didn't give a crap.
- 2:23:45But this guy's legs the whole time.
- 2:23:48Everywhere we went, this guy was doing it.
- 2:23:50We went to karaoke night. This guy and his wife, they
- 2:23:53were, he was flapping these, I'm telling you.
- 2:23:56What do you mean flapping his dude?
- 2:23:58Yeah, I'm trying to get a visual like.
- 2:24:00Like like the grandma's arms. Like, yes, yes, it was like a
- 2:24:04grandma's legs, you know, arms. And so flap.
- 2:24:07So how did he win? I don't because I don't know,
- 2:24:09people thought it was cool. I.
- 2:24:10Novelty. You know some.
- 2:24:12I thought, you know, I thought it was disgusting.
- 2:24:14And weird stuff on. Both weird shit man I I mean his
- 2:24:19I honestly think and he was wearing such tight like swim
- 2:24:22trunks. His balls.
- 2:24:24Was he like, you're a dude? Yeah, I don't know what it was,
- 2:24:26but dude, his ball, you could see his balls make.
- 2:24:28Sense. You could see his balls, Jake.
- 2:24:31You got a reaction with Brittany?
- 2:24:34Was his name like Jock or something?
- 2:24:36I don't remember what his name was, but it was disgusting.
- 2:24:40And I whatever anybody thought of of his jello legs because
- 2:24:44that's what it looked like jello, you know, moving back and
- 2:24:47forth. Congratulations on his
- 2:24:50unbelievable win. It made me sick to my stomach
- 2:24:53and it'll always haunt my dreams.
- 2:24:55So that's all I'm going to say. And it was like a flapping old
- 2:24:58woman's arm when they flop. It was disgusting, but that's
- 2:25:02the truth. Anyways, let's get to the show
- 2:25:04here. Tic Tac?
- 2:25:05No, let's go. Speedy all.
- 2:25:07Right, so interns, you guys can come in as well on camera and
- 2:25:09answer some questions as well. Jake and Zach did a helpful in
- 2:25:13them trying to get the college one last week.
- 2:25:15Could not get it. So I ended up winning for the
- 2:25:17first time. All right, we'll start in the
- 2:25:19NH, we'll start in the NHL. So Brad Marshall and tied Wayne
- 2:25:22Gretzky with set with seven goals.
- 2:25:24There's one other player who had seven career playoff goals in a
- 2:25:28in an individual Stanley Cup final series.
- 2:25:30Who is that? Mario Lemieux?
- 2:25:35Nope. I think I saw that.
- 2:25:38Is it a? Sidney Crosby No.
- 2:25:43Oh my God, I saw that and and I forgot.
- 2:25:45I saw it the other day they posted it and I forgot.
- 2:25:49Oh, man, I don't know, Maurice. Richard.
- 2:25:54Nope. No.
- 2:25:56Rashard, Richard, It's Rashard. Rashard.
- 2:25:57Rashard. I'm just.
- 2:26:00Trying to help. It's OK that's you know, now you
- 2:26:03know you know Scoops is trying to cheat I.
- 2:26:07Just think that the best goal at.
- 2:26:09The scores. There we go.
- 2:26:11Stammer. Nope.
- 2:26:18I really don't know, but I'll take a guess.
- 2:26:21Mark Messier. Nope.
- 2:26:25So it's Zach and Aaron. You're the last hopes for this
- 2:26:28round. I have no idea.
- 2:26:30I know nothing about hockey. They both don't.
- 2:26:33Name a hockey boy you've heard of, both of you.
- 2:26:41I, I, I, I saw it and that's, I, I knew who it was and I just, I,
- 2:26:46I saw it the other day. You're going to you're going to
- 2:26:48get annoyed when you hear this. I am sure it is Mike Bossy.
- 2:26:51I can't believe it. And it was Mike Bossy.
- 2:26:53It was Mike Bossy. Yes, it was.
- 2:26:55And it was an island. I can't believe I saw it the
- 2:26:58other day. They were posting it up on, you
- 2:27:01know, it was a story and they were saying that Brad Marshan
- 2:27:04was the first, the the second player to do it.
- 2:27:06So. Brett Hey, by the way, Brad
- 2:27:08Marshan enjoyed that party. Oh boy.
- 2:27:11Yeah, he he Honestly, I didn't like Brad Marshawn until I saw
- 2:27:15him. I was at the Stanley Cup finals.
- 2:27:17Middle Speedy. At Saint Louis and he was
- 2:27:19fantastic. He actually went up, climbed up
- 2:27:22a ladder because a girl lost a balloon.
- 2:27:25He brought a ladder, 20 foot ladder, climbed up to grab the
- 2:27:29balloon and and brought the letter back.
- 2:27:31Could you imagine? Have you ever seen a hockey
- 2:27:33player do that? He actually went out there to
- 2:27:35help a kid get her balloon back. So true story.
- 2:27:39All right, let's go. We'll go to the NBA draft for
- 2:27:41this one. So the only time The Mavericks
- 2:27:43ever had the number one pick before that was in 1981.
- 2:27:46They drafted a shooting guard slash small forward who later
- 2:27:49won two championships with the Bad Boy Pistons.
- 2:27:51Named this player say that again.
- 2:27:53So the Dallas Mavericks, the only time they had the number
- 2:27:55one pick before this year was 1981.
- 2:27:58They drafted a shooting guard small forward who later won two
- 2:28:01championships with the Bad Boy Pistons in the late 80s.
- 2:28:05Was a good player. He was a decent player.
- 2:28:07I looked at his number. Solid player. 81 Well, it's not
- 2:28:12Isaiah Thomas or Joe Dumars if he was a solid.
- 2:28:14Player. No.
- 2:28:15The ironic thing is this guy also ended up coaching with
- 2:28:19Isaiah Thomas with the Knicks as an assistant coach.
- 2:28:21Oh. My God.
- 2:28:30Speedy, you said, you said the player was in.
- 2:28:31He was a number one overall pick.
- 2:28:33Yep, 1981 number one overall pick with the Dallas Mavericks.
- 2:28:36Who won a champion? Who won multiple championships
- 2:28:38in Detroit? He was a career 20 points a game
- 2:28:42scorer. He won.
- 2:28:44More so he's he was more than good, yeah. 20 points a game.
- 2:28:50Three time All Star, three time all.
- 2:28:52So yeah, solid player. 20 points a game.
- 2:28:56No doubt. And two championships.
- 2:28:59Yep. So he was on both of those teams
- 2:29:01and that means he was the 3rd scorer if he was 20 points a
- 2:29:04game. Who is that?
- 2:29:08Why can't I think of it right now?
- 2:29:11I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to look it up.
- 2:29:14No, I'm I'm just drawing a blank because I actually like those
- 2:29:17guys. I don't know.
- 2:29:21I mean, I wanted to say someone until you said 20 points a game.
- 2:29:25That would have been hilarious as a Knicks fan to say, but.
- 2:29:29Would you give us an answer? All right, so the he shares a
- 2:29:34first name with a dominant player of of a team that is
- 2:29:40nearby Detroit who was a point guard.
- 2:29:49What near? A city near Detroit.
- 2:29:54He shares a first name. He was a point guard.
- 2:29:56He was a great point guard. He shares a first name I.
- 2:30:02Don't know, Dame. No, no, no.
- 2:30:05Back then, 80s, nineties at a point.
- 2:30:08Guard. That's.
- 2:30:12Really hard, yeah, that's. Not much of A clue whatsoever.
- 2:30:17Near, near then. Back then, I wasn't that I
- 2:30:20wasn't. Born, I tend to we're.
- 2:30:21Not going to get it right, sorry.
- 2:30:23I I give it up, I give. Up who is it?
- 2:30:25So Mark a gear is the answer to the question.
- 2:30:28I wouldn't get that right. Mark a deer a gear.
- 2:30:31Doe a deer a gear A female deer a gear.
- 2:30:34This is not a nursery. Rhyme.
- 2:30:36I thought it was Aguire. Mark Aguire.
- 2:30:40You're saying Mark Aguire, not a gear.
- 2:30:43All right. Well, yeah, whatever it is, we
- 2:30:46didn't get it right. All right, whatever, Speedy.
- 2:30:51You get another one. Speedy's getting revenge because
- 2:30:55we we won, I think. Do you win both of them Speedy
- 2:30:58when you? No, I won last week, I won last
- 2:31:01week and then you guys took me to the brink the first the the
- 2:31:03week. Before.
- 2:31:04All right, Tom. Where are you going?
- 2:31:06Bottom left. Bottom left, right here.
- 2:31:09All right, I, I can't. Have a.
- 2:31:11Chance I can't overlap the blue blazer.
- 2:31:14All right, so let's go. We'll go to some baseball.
- 2:31:16So we went for the Raphael Devers Red Sox question last
- 2:31:18week. This time we'll go for the to
- 2:31:20the Giants angle. So besides Barry Bonds, the most
- 2:31:23home runs in Giants history in the last 40 years was also a
- 2:31:27third baseman. He had 247 home runs with the
- 2:31:30team. Name this player.
- 2:31:33Oh, poop. In the last 40 years.
- 2:31:39Last 40 years, so he's second after Barry Bonds among San
- 2:31:43Francisco Giants home runs. And he didn't spend his whole
- 2:31:46career there. He was.
- 2:31:47Also a third baseman? No, he did not.
- 2:31:48And what position he played third base.
- 2:31:50And what else did he play? Position.
- 2:31:53He was just the third. Baseman.
- 2:31:54He was 1/3 baseman. Well, it's.
- 2:31:57Not Jeff Kent, so. No, he's a second base.
- 2:32:00Yep. So I.
- 2:32:01Was waiting for that. One and he didn't he didn't play
- 2:32:03his whole career there. Why am I is?
- 2:32:07It Matt Williams. Yes, it.
- 2:32:10Is all right. Well, there you go a block bam
- 2:32:14yeah, cuz he then then he ended up code third third base coach
- 2:32:17there. I thought him immediately but I
- 2:32:21wasn't sure of. Myself, that's why I asked cuz I
- 2:32:23was pretty sure I had two going and I wasn't I wasn't 100% sold
- 2:32:30and I was like OK he was some. Player.
- 2:32:33He was some player. Oh yeah, I mean, Sandoval didn't
- 2:32:36have enough and Aubrey Huff didn't have enough, so that was.
- 2:32:39I knew it wasn't the panda bear, OK, I knew it wasn't.
- 2:32:42So. All right, all right, so we
- 2:32:44blocked you. All right, we'll go back to the
- 2:32:47NHL. This time I'll go to the NHL
- 2:32:48draft. So the New York Islanders, the
- 2:32:50last time they had the number one pick, there was also a trade
- 2:32:53in the middle first round. So including with the Islanders,
- 2:32:56a player they drafted and then a player, both defenseman that
- 2:33:00became an Islander later. Name the name the two players.
- 2:33:05Say that again, you need. To give us a year of this draft,
- 2:33:08that was way too. 2009 this was the John Tavares.
- 2:33:12So one of them was an Islanders draft pick #12 overall.
- 2:33:15The other one was a another defenceman that was drafted #16
- 2:33:19overall that later became an Islander.
- 2:33:22Come on. And you know who the 12th and
- 2:33:2716th pick were in the 2009 NH? You think I'm going to go back
- 2:33:32and remember what the Islanders drafted?
- 2:33:34All right, All right. I'll go with 16 Michael Delzado.
- 2:33:42Nope. I will give you a hint though,
- 2:33:44one of them did play for the Rangers this year.
- 2:33:49God damn. One of them played for the
- 2:33:52Rangers this year. This year.
- 2:33:54Defenseman. Yep.
- 2:33:56Didn't play much but. But I'm not a Ranger fan.
- 2:34:01So none of them should have played much.
- 2:34:02They're going to get rid of all of them.
- 2:34:07Merrill, we'll be talking about it I think in within two weeks.
- 2:34:10I've been saying that. Built up a ball at Anaheim.
- 2:34:15I mean, I don't know Quenvill over there.
- 2:34:19Can't believe he has a job I got.
- 2:34:22I already went. I can't guess again.
- 2:34:24Fish, I will. I will give you another hint.
- 2:34:26Whatever you just said just now is a hint for one of them.
- 2:34:36But I already went speedy, I can't go again.
- 2:34:38OK, I just mentioned that as a hint.
- 2:34:39I know, I know. Yeah, but there's 2 picks.
- 2:34:42Something Fish just said in that last sentence.
- 2:34:45It's a clue for one except John Javar I.
- 2:34:48Have nothing by the way. Headman.
- 2:34:50Is that like a hammock? Not Travis Hammock, no.
- 2:34:56I give up. Go ahead.
- 2:34:57So all right, I'll give you, I'll give you one more.
- 2:35:00So. So whatever Fish was referencing
- 2:35:02was in reference to Joel Quendel.
- 2:35:07I'm saying the Blackhawks, something with the Blackhawks.
- 2:35:10On the Blackhawks. You play for the Blackhawks.
- 2:35:15I don't, I don't remember. Go ahead.
- 2:35:18All right, so you got it. The Islanders draft pick was
- 2:35:21Calvin Dahan. The other one I was thinking of.
- 2:35:24Yep, and then the the 16th pick was Nicoletti, who was drafted
- 2:35:28by Minnesota I. Forgot about Nick.
- 2:35:30And then they traded him to Chicago in a in season.
- 2:35:34You won a Stanley Cup with Chicago.
- 2:35:35Yes, he did. Maybe traded?
- 2:35:36Mini, That was a rather impossible.
- 2:35:39That was a hard. Question.
- 2:35:41You know, come on. And that was too cool.
- 2:35:44That was too cool. Yeah, that was way too hard.
- 2:35:47Speedy, where are you going all? Right.
- 2:35:49We'll go BA top left. All right, setting up a two way
- 2:35:53go here for Speedy. So we got to stop him two turns
- 2:35:57in a row all. Right, here we go.
- 2:35:59So we've been talking about Trey Hendrickson a lot.
- 2:36:01He's third in Bengals history with 57 sacks.
- 2:36:05Which two players are ahead of him?
- 2:36:07Say that again. So see, Trey Hendrickson is
- 2:36:10third in Bengals history with 57 sacks.
- 2:36:12Which two players are ahead of them?
- 2:36:17Bengals. He's got more sacks in Bengals
- 2:36:19history than Hendrickson. We need to, we need to name two
- 2:36:23players. Yep, both are both.
- 2:36:25Come on. Both ass one both.
- 2:36:27Are modern though. I'm.
- 2:36:36Trying to think of Bengals. I it's like I don't.
- 2:36:39Know anything like? I got some that that's not going
- 2:36:49to help us take Zach Taylor. Maybe he could help?
- 2:36:55Zach Taylor can't help with nothing on defense.
- 2:36:57That's good point. Zach, Zach Taylor doesn't help
- 2:37:01for a second on defense. He doesn't show up to his
- 2:37:03defensive practice. I don't think as the head coach
- 2:37:05he's giving up on. That.
- 2:37:07Side. You're asking 2 questions.
- 2:37:10It should be 11 Should. Really be.
- 2:37:12One one guy, not 2. Guys, one of the two, yes.
- 2:37:16I'm trying to go back and think of guys that were there.
- 2:37:19And you said, you said modern era.
- 2:37:21So does that mean like? Recent last 15 years, last 15.
- 2:37:26Years, I have one of them in my head and I keep I'm trying to,
- 2:37:29I'm trying to get it out of my head and I know exactly one of
- 2:37:32them who one of them is. Oh my God I'm going to go
- 2:37:39create. I'm going to be so mad when I
- 2:37:40don't get this. I got one of them in my head and
- 2:37:43it's like at the tip of my tongue and when he says it, I'm
- 2:37:45going to be like mother. I mean is this like AI don't
- 2:37:51want to guess it? Someone guessed the guy that
- 2:37:53just retired. Well, I'll say, I'll say, is it
- 2:37:58Sam Hubbard? No.
- 2:38:00I figured yeah, I. Need to at least rule that out
- 2:38:06because he was there for a while.
- 2:38:07Recently retired. Yeah, don't worry, it was wrong.
- 2:38:10Yeah, that was that was not the answer.
- 2:38:12They yeah, they they're both 20 tens players.
- 2:38:17Both D lineman. Both are D lineman.
- 2:38:23I. Can't even think of a.
- 2:38:31Single. Oh hell no.
- 2:38:32I wouldn't have got either of these.
- 2:38:34No chance. I look you.
- 2:38:36Feel like just looking it up too.
- 2:38:37I'm not going to say it, but I just kind of know I.
- 2:38:39Want to No. Yeah, I.
- 2:38:47I was trying to look to see if we got anybody in the chat to
- 2:38:49help out so I didn't look stupid.
- 2:38:51I. Don't.
- 2:38:57Think I got nothing. Man, all right, one of them.
- 2:38:59One defensive end, 1 defensive tackle.
- 2:39:03Oh yeah, I was not going to get these either.
- 2:39:05Gino Gino Atkins. That's one of them.
- 2:39:09That's the one. That's the one I was thinking.
- 2:39:11That's the tackle, so we needed the end.
- 2:39:15All right, that's my guess. I can't go again.
- 2:39:21I know the other one too, I just can't.
- 2:39:23I can't get his name out of my head.
- 2:39:28We got, we got to beat Speedy. How?
- 2:39:29How can I help you figure this out?
- 2:39:34I, I remember, I, I remember both of them, they played
- 2:39:36together. I even know.
- 2:39:40Played played with Adkins so. I'm done.
- 2:39:54I, I, I can't think of it right now.
- 2:39:55I can't. Think all right?
- 2:39:58Anybody. No, nobody.
- 2:40:03'S got it all. Right.
- 2:40:04Damn, who is he? Carlos Dunlap, that's who it
- 2:40:06was. It was Dunlap.
- 2:40:08I knew it was Mother. All right, looks like Speedy's
- 2:40:14going to win. Yet again.
- 2:40:18Which one do you want? Speedy, just so you know, you
- 2:40:20can't ask, you can't get 2 guys because that's like that's
- 2:40:23unfair. You got to get one because all,
- 2:40:26all we have to do is make one mistake and then you win.
- 2:40:29So you have to it's, it's got to be one guy.
- 2:40:33Pick one guy. There you go.
- 2:40:36Perfect. Nothing.
- 2:40:37There we go. There we go.
- 2:40:38Where? The.
- 2:40:41Hell is Java Java's favorite camo pants?
- 2:40:43Where the hell? Is that I mean that when I sent
- 2:40:46like I saw him and I was like, what is like, what is this?
- 2:40:52That was rough. Yeah, well, that's a great
- 2:40:56action figure, at least for the show.
- 2:40:58And we got goody over here. Goody's going to be joining us
- 2:41:00soon to talk about his Tigers, I believe.
- 2:41:05So that's pretty exciting. He's.
- 2:41:07Definitely going to. Bring Oh, he has to.
- 2:41:09He has to rebirth his his Go Tigers from our our Super Bowl
- 2:41:13trip. Well, that was funny.
- 2:41:15Yeah, I forgot about. That well, I have the video so I
- 2:41:18definitely. Oh yeah, definitely.
- 2:41:19Good he has to rebirth it when he.
- 2:41:21I have to send you guys the video because I still have it.
- 2:41:23Oh, tigers. Oh, tigers.
- 2:41:25This guy's laying on the ground. First of all, I dared him to do
- 2:41:28it. I dared him to do it.
- 2:41:30At first when we passed him, he was laying under the car like he
- 2:41:34was sitting on the side. He was his head was practically
- 2:41:36under the car and he had an LSU sweatshirt on.
- 2:41:40And I told goody when we walked by he's like, I dare you to go
- 2:41:44and and scream go tigers, go tigers.
- 2:41:47And this, this crazy SOP guy sitting up now he looks like his
- 2:41:51butt about to barf and he goes go tigers go tigers right to his
- 2:41:57face. And this guy looks at him like
- 2:41:59he has 6 heads but. LSULSU fans will do anything
- 2:42:03like it's, it's amazing. No good for them.
- 2:42:05I I'm happy for the LSU Tigers. Congratulations.
- 2:42:08To that hey Java. What up, doctor?
- 2:42:10I got a quick surprise for you. So my stepdad, I was telling
- 2:42:14them about the show I was doing. I was telling them about.
- 2:42:17Oh, yeah, Java Chamberlain's on it.
- 2:42:18And he's a, he's a big baseball memorability collector guy.
- 2:42:21And he had, he had to pull something out for me.
- 2:42:23I got a throwback for you A. Oh, is that my AA?
- 2:42:28Brandon Thunder AA So yeah, I started to salty.
- 2:42:34Love it, love it. You know, it's funny because I
- 2:42:38always, when I always look at Jabba, it looks like a bobble
- 2:42:41head. You know, he's a big guy with a
- 2:42:42big head and a small body. I'm just kidding.
- 2:42:44Yeah. I started to show that off.
- 2:42:48I used. To go to the Trend Thunder game
- 2:42:50as a kid back in the day and he had he had that memorabilia back
- 2:42:53from years ago. I was like, that's so cool,
- 2:42:55Yeah. I loved playing there other
- 2:42:59other than the prison was right across the street.
- 2:43:01But we could. They didn't let us, they didn't
- 2:43:04let us park there. If we were going on a road trip,
- 2:43:08we would have to because we all lived in Bensalem.
- 2:43:11And then we would they would bus us from there.
- 2:43:14They wouldn't let us keep our cars just in case, like somebody
- 2:43:16like got free from the prison. Java takes it up the ass.
- 2:43:21Now the real question is the is the prison still there?
- 2:43:23Because Nathan covers a lot of the Trenton Thunder.
- 2:43:25Games Jabba liked when he's from Cocktail.
- 2:43:27Somebody could be arrested for the theft of the stolen leash.
- 2:43:30Ass Liquor. Yeah, I don't, I don't know if
- 2:43:32it's still there like it's, it's been what it's been.
- 2:43:36Couch. 818 years. But yeah, they had, they had
- 2:43:41this place that was in the same parking lot.
- 2:43:44It was like the field, a bunch of commercial space and then
- 2:43:48there's a place called the Kathmandu and the only place to
- 2:43:53go and I have a son. I could ignore you Errol.
- 2:43:57Like I don't even know. And so it had one side bar, it
- 2:44:04had one side club, It had one side like live music and then
- 2:44:08like a bar. And they were like 4 different
- 2:44:10places. It was, it was super cool.
- 2:44:12It was a little sketchy. And then we'd always go to the
- 2:44:15diner afterwards. It was I'd love, I loved my time
- 2:44:18there. Drove me there like a month.
- 2:44:24What do we even have? We have a sportsman right now,
- 2:44:26don't we? That's right all.
- 2:44:28Right when we come back, we got goodies, bag of balls, we got
- 2:44:31dialed up. And what's that smell?
- 2:44:32But first, our sportsman with the fisherman himself.
- 2:44:37This is the Jabba and the Mouth Sportsman ads.
- 2:44:42All right, guys, Aaron Fisherman back for another sportsman.
- 2:44:45I got a few stories before we go through the baseball scores
- 2:44:48tonight. Only sports with action going on
- 2:44:51now, both finals for hockey and basketball are over.
- 2:44:54Not a great year. Speaking of baseball, for the
- 2:44:56Pirates, from the 17 games under 500 team on the field while
- 2:45:01having one of the top young pitchers of a Generation 2 fans
- 2:45:04falling onto the field to the front office, removing lifetime
- 2:45:07guaranteed buckle bricks they sold to fans and accidentally
- 2:45:11removing Roberto Clemente's number for a Spike Seltzer
- 2:45:14advertisement in a rough almost first three months for the
- 2:45:18squad. Well, Dennis Santana decided to
- 2:45:20get in on the fun while the get in is good.
- 2:45:22Dennis Santana was suspended by Major League Baseball for four
- 2:45:25games for swiping at a fan. Santana explained his actions.
- 2:45:29You guys know me, I'm a calm, demeanor type of person.
- 2:45:33Santana said through his interpreter.
- 2:45:35I've never had any issues for any of the teams I've played
- 2:45:38for. This guy crossed the line a few
- 2:45:41times. Well, Santana may be right about
- 2:45:44the fan in question, but taking a swipe at a guy only makes you
- 2:45:46the aggressor, and any hockey fan knows the penalty always
- 2:45:49goes to whoever retaliates. The Pirates continue to be the
- 2:45:53laughing stop laughingstock of a league that also has the Rockies
- 2:45:58and White Sox in it in 2025. Next story Dodgers pitcher slash
- 2:46:03designated hitter Shohei Otani was the opening pitcher again
- 2:46:08for the team on Sunday, pitching only one inning, striking out
- 2:46:10two batters and hitting 98.8 miles an hour on the radar gun.
- 2:46:15That was the original plan, Otani said through an
- 2:46:17interpreter who presumably isn't gambling away 10s of millions of
- 2:46:20dollars of his own money somehow without him knowing it or ever
- 2:46:23getting disciplined for it. I look forward to adding more
- 2:46:26and more pitches. The Dodgers continue to ramp up
- 2:46:28Otani for the long haul of both this season.
- 2:46:31The duration of his epic 10 year, $700 million contract he
- 2:46:34signed before last season as well.
- 2:46:37Ohtani is having another banner year at the plate after winning
- 2:46:40the 2024 NLMVP and may soon be ready to resume being an elite
- 2:46:44starting pitcher as well. While Ipe Mizuhara sits in jail,
- 2:46:48apparently wholly to blame for the entirety of everything that
- 2:46:50happened. And we are just supposed to take
- 2:46:52their word on it because it's 2025 and that's how things work,
- 2:46:56apparently these days. And sources today revealed that
- 2:46:59Wizards forward Chris Middleton will exercise his $33.3 million
- 2:47:04player option for the 20252026 season.
- 2:47:07Middleton, who will be 34 next year, is going into his 14th
- 2:47:10season in the NBA as a much diminished player from this All
- 2:47:13Star. A world champion, he was at his
- 2:47:15peak. Some of you may remember
- 2:47:16Middleton is the first player to rise through the G League to
- 2:47:19become an NBA All Star in 2019. He still had excellent shooting
- 2:47:23percentages in limited time last year after recovering from
- 2:47:26offseason surgery on both his ankles.
- 2:47:28Middleton certainly was always going to cash him on top three
- 2:47:32player on the team Money in fact is going to be making the most
- 2:47:34money on the team next year after playing only 37 games
- 2:47:37while averaging only 22.8 minutes in each of those games.
- 2:47:41For the Wizards, they have to pay someone and then they have
- 2:47:4465,000,000 tied up in both Middleton and Jordan Poole next
- 2:47:48year. It looks like we may have a tank
- 2:47:50a thon on our hands quite early on next season in the nation's
- 2:47:54capital, guys. We are streaming live on TikTok,

- 2:49:49Like I said, he's doing something, you know, with
- 2:49:51himself over there in the dugout.
- 2:49:53Whenever he's done playing with his knockers, well, we'll have
- 2:49:57him join us. But now we're just going to jump
- 2:49:59ship here and we're going to go right to dial it up.
- 2:50:03We interrupted. This regularly scheduled.
- 2:50:05Hot mix to bring you important news we got.
- 2:50:07A big broadcast to do here. We're about to dial it up.
- 2:50:14All right, guys. Welcome back to Dial IT Up.
- 2:50:16This is the Lightning round segment where we give Errol five
- 2:50:20stories that he has not seen yet and he is going to react, dial
- 2:50:24up a take for the night and one of us to respond to what you
- 2:50:29guys in the back, if you want, we can get Nathan in on this.
- 2:50:32Some of the interns you can come in if you have anything, we'll
- 2:50:35call on a couple of anyone to participate perhaps as we go.
- 2:50:40Errol, you ready for tonight's? Dial it up.
- 2:50:43Absolutely. Thinking yeah.
- 2:50:47Here it is starting it off with the big dumper Seattle catcher.
- 2:50:53Catcher Cal Raleigh hits his 31st home run of the season, so
- 2:51:00he extended his home run lead this weekend with four homers in
- 2:51:04a series win versus the NL Central's first place Cubs.
- 2:51:07Raleigh is second in baseball in WAR and WRC Plus at 191 and 5.1
- 2:51:14WAR behind Aaron Judge, only meaning second best player in
- 2:51:18baseball. The Mariners record for home
- 2:51:20runs before the All Star break is 35 by, of course, Ken Griffey
- 2:51:23Junior. The Mariners are tied for the
- 2:51:25last AL Wild Card spot at 39 and 30 7 as of earlier today.
- 2:51:31Here's the quote, 31 home runs. He just continues to March
- 2:51:35through history here. Mariners manager Dan Wilson,
- 2:51:38it's fun to watch. He's a smart player.
- 2:51:40So later in the game, not getting too anxious, not trying
- 2:51:43out, trying to out of the zone, go out of the zone, not trying
- 2:51:47to get away from his identity as a hitter and who he is, just
- 2:51:50staying right where he needs to stay.
- 2:51:53Errol, the second best player in baseball, was not in the books
- 2:51:57for this guy at all from anybody.
- 2:52:00He wasn't going to be considered a top 2 catcher before the year
- 2:52:03started, let alone top 2IN baseball.
- 2:52:06It's time for you to dial it up. Well, it's pretty interesting
- 2:52:10because he's a catcher. Who would have thought that a
- 2:52:13catcher before even the All Star break would have 31 home runs?
- 2:52:17I don't remember the last catcher to do this.
- 2:52:19It's pretty, it's pretty incredible.
- 2:52:22And we talked about some of the players that they have on that
- 2:52:24on that team. Rodriguez is supposed to be
- 2:52:26their best hitter, their best power hitter.
- 2:52:28And this guy comes out of nowhere.
- 2:52:29By the way, starting catcher for Team USA Baseball coming up in
- 2:52:34the World Championships is Cal Raleigh.
- 2:52:36So pretty interesting. It's fun to watch.
- 2:52:39It's something that you wouldn't expect.
- 2:52:41I wouldn't compare him to Aaron Judge.
- 2:52:43I wouldn't say that he is obviously having as good a
- 2:52:46season as Aaron Judge. I know all these statistics
- 2:52:49would tell you that he is. It's incredible that he's a
- 2:52:52catcher doing it to me. I I just think it's incredible
- 2:52:56that he's doing it in Seattle in a big stadium.
- 2:52:59Aaron Judge is playing in Yankee Stadium.
- 2:53:01This guy's playing in Seattle where it's a bigger and it's a
- 2:53:04pitcher stadium and he's doing it in, he's doing in such a
- 2:53:08great and big stadium. I think it's incredible that
- 2:53:10he's doing it and he's doing it at this pace.
- 2:53:12So it's incredible. Yeah, that park is.
- 2:53:15It's fun to pitch in. He hit his 32nd tonight on pace
- 2:53:19to challenge Salvy, who has the record.
- 2:53:24Is he is he in the question? I mean, obviously not, but he's
- 2:53:28always been able to swing. It's always just been a little
- 2:53:30long. And you know, obviously as a
- 2:53:32catcher, I don't know the last time I think the most was 28 if
- 2:53:36I recall. I was just looking this up the
- 2:53:38other day. It's awesome for him.
- 2:53:40You always have that one guy that's been around and then has
- 2:53:43that breakout year and it's always fun seeing guys like that
- 2:53:47that from everybody that I know that's that knows him.
- 2:53:51So he's, you know, works hard, is a great dude.
- 2:53:53So you always got a room for people like that.
- 2:53:57He's on pace. I mean, before today he had
- 2:54:00another home run. Today.
- 2:54:01He's got a 665 slugging percentage.
- 2:54:05Gerald just slugging. No, I'm not.
- 2:54:08I'm not taking it away from what he's doing right now. 66 home
- 2:54:11runs is the pace. It's incredible.
- 2:54:13He's a catcher. Have we ever seen a catcher do
- 2:54:16this before in All Star Break? I don't remember the last one to
- 2:54:19do this, but to me. The record's 48 for a catcher
- 2:54:22and he's at 35 when we get to the break.
- 2:54:25I, I, I think it's incredible. I just don't think he's around
- 2:54:29the same conversation as what Aaron Judge is doing right now
- 2:54:33for the Yankees. That's all I'm saying.
- 2:54:35He is, he's having a great year. It's amazing, but he's not Aaron
- 2:54:38Judge. So he's at like a WRC, which is
- 2:54:41like the measurement they use. And 100 is an average player.
- 2:54:43He's sitting at like before tonight was 191 probably another
- 2:54:46point or two higher now. Aaron Judge is at a 225, so it's
- 2:54:53a significant a couple of steps up that he's at.
- 2:54:55Still unbelievable to even have those types of numbers right as
- 2:55:00a catcher. That just never happens.
- 2:55:02Let's move on to another one of our favorite stories here on the
- 2:55:06show. Here comes Caitlin Clark,
- 2:55:09reportedly. This is a real fascinating one
- 2:55:11in the news. We talked about her not getting
- 2:55:14a lot of love and then eventually they helped her out
- 2:55:16late and now the one girl is getting all this.
- 2:55:19Love. I love Sophie Cunningham.
- 2:55:21She's Sophie. Cunningham.
- 2:55:22Who? My eardrum holy.
- 2:55:24Fantastic. But they didn't really help her
- 2:55:27up right away. I wasn't a fan of it.
- 2:55:29We talked about that last week, but a story came out today that
- 2:55:32Caitlin Clark, in a book that came out, reportedly turned down
- 2:55:35a three on three Olympics invite after she was snubbed for the
- 2:55:38regular women's team last year. So the story is Bleacher
- 2:55:43Reports. This is on Bleach Report.
- 2:55:45Zach Bacardi reports that Caitlin Clark was invited to
- 2:55:47join the women's three on three last year.
- 2:55:49But turn it down. This was Clark after she was
- 2:55:52unceremoniously snubbed by Team USA and coach Cheryl Reeve.
- 2:55:55What believes the Lynx coach Speedy, according to a new book
- 2:55:59on her game, Caitlin Clark and the Revolution of Women's
- 2:56:02Sports. Reeve was also accused in the
- 2:56:03book of singling out Clark as an example due to the league's
- 2:56:07preferential treatment of her since she was drafted.
- 2:56:10Reeve in response has attacked Brendan in the media since
- 2:56:14publishing. Clark was the first team as you
- 2:56:16know WNBA selection despite the snub and rookie of the year in
- 2:56:21her first season in the league. The women's three on three team
- 2:56:25won bronze without her Errol. Dial it up.
- 2:56:30Who the hell is Cheryl Reef? That's what I want to know.
- 2:56:33Kayla Clark is the biggest thing in in college basketball, right?
- 2:56:36I mean, what's the biggest thing in college women's basketball?
- 2:56:39She's the biggest thing right now in WNBA basketball.
- 2:56:42And she gets beaten up all the time.
- 2:56:45I see a flat on her ass every single game.
- 2:56:47Still goes out there, still plays hard, still plays above
- 2:56:51what you would expect a superstar player to do.
- 2:56:54And I think it's pathetic that anybody is questioning what she
- 2:56:58did or even if she turned down three on three basketball.
- 2:57:01This girl is the best thing that could ever happen to women's
- 2:57:07basketball. And for some reason, Cheryl
- 2:57:10Reeve or anybody that writes about this lady or girl or
- 2:57:13female has some kind of hatred for somebody that is bringing in
- 2:57:17money, advertisement, sponsorships for a WNBA that was
- 2:57:21going down the friggin drain. That's where it was going.
- 2:57:25So all these people that want to say that Caitlin Clark is a
- 2:57:29joke, doesn't belong here, doesn't belong.
- 2:57:32Hey, let's go look at her numbers right now.
- 2:57:34Let's go look right now. If the season were to end, she's
- 2:57:37probably the MVP of the WNBA. It's despicable, it's
- 2:57:41disgusting, and it just tells you one thing.
- 2:57:44Cheryl Reeve, I don't care what she decided to turn down.
- 2:57:47She could turn down three on three basketball.
- 2:57:49She could turn down playing for USA Basketball.
- 2:57:52She belong there. She should have been a part of
- 2:57:55that team as well as Angel Ree, Angel Reece.
- 2:57:58Every single one of these girls should be respecting this
- 2:58:02Caitlin Clark female who has been the most dominant force in
- 2:58:07women's basketball. And take this, she is the
- 2:58:10biggest thing we've seen come out of professional sports in
- 2:58:15about 10 years. Yes, you heard it from me.
- 2:58:17She is the biggest thing to come out of professional sports.
- 2:58:22That goes for hockey, that goes for the NBA, that goes for the
- 2:58:26NFL. This girl has going is going to
- 2:58:29set the pace for the future of women's sports and professional
- 2:58:34sports. Shame on Cheryl Reeve, shame on
- 2:58:37everyone that doesn't respect this woman for what she does.
- 2:58:42Yeah, Following up off of that, I just want to say playing in
- 2:58:44front of USA Basketball, playing at the Helms of Olympic
- 2:58:48basketball, somebody best players in the whole entire
- 2:58:51world from all parts of the of all parts of the world,
- 2:58:54different countries or whatnot. Caitlin Clark.
- 2:58:57I mean, look at someone like with Isaiah Thomas with the
- 2:58:59whole situation, right? You didn't make the Dream team.
- 2:59:01Now, of course, a lot of things go into that with them, of
- 2:59:03course him and Michael Jordan having bad blood and what not.
- 2:59:06Whole point is is that as a player you somewhat do remember
- 2:59:09the snub. And in a way I feel like they
- 2:59:12said, OK, well, you didn't make it to Caitlin Clark.
- 2:59:14Here's a consolation prize and you can be on the three on
- 2:59:16three. And if you even look at the
- 2:59:17girls that are. Well, they didn't say that they
- 2:59:19they said she turned down after. Yeah, after being snubbed from
- 2:59:23the US Olympics. She decided to turn it down.
- 2:59:25Exactly. So in a way, I feel like it's
- 2:59:27sort of they're kind of giving her a consolation prize, which I
- 2:59:29agree. I wouldn't take that only for
- 2:59:31the sense like I agree with you 100% should have been a lot for
- 2:59:35the USA women's basketball team, not the three on three, which
- 2:59:37the three on three is of course a good achievement on its own as
- 2:59:40well too. But it's not the USA women's
- 2:59:42basketball team that is so highlighted and so marketed
- 2:59:45during the the Women's Olympics Basketball.
- 2:59:47By the way, Caitlin Clark's jersey right now is within the
- 2:59:51top ten. I think it's top 7 right now in
- 2:59:54all the sports sold jerseys, college and professional when it
- 2:59:59comes to the WNBA. So eat it, Cheryl Reeves.
- 3:00:03That's all. What I'm going to say about that
- 3:00:05Eat it, suck it, dry it speedy. You know all about DRY.
- 3:00:09No, that's Nathan's department. Well, you got a spit, but you
- 3:00:12don't do that, you do a dry, right?
- 3:00:15What do a dry do? A watch dry that's.
- 3:00:19A good thing. So inappropriate.
- 3:00:21Do a watch dry. We're talking about women in
- 3:00:23this segment and you go down that road.
- 3:00:25It's just inappropriate. I just asked them, oh.
- 3:00:28Man, the Mets things are going the wrong direction right now in
- 3:00:33Queens. They had to demote catcher
- 3:00:35Francisco Alvarez to AAA. The story goes the Mets who won
- 3:00:41even though Alvarez hit a home run in a 11/4 win Saturday
- 3:00:45night, snapping A7 game losing streak.
- 3:00:48They demoted the struggling former top prospect AAA
- 3:00:52Syracuse. If you remember, he was a top
- 3:00:54prospect in all of baseball for a time in 2022.
- 3:00:57Had 25 homers as a rookie in 2023 season.
- 3:01:02He's only batting 236 with 319 on base and a 333 slugging.
- 3:01:07Is only three homers this year. The bigger problem is is usually
- 3:01:12surefire defense has become pretty bad.
- 3:01:16He's had this injury with the handmade bone in the preseason
- 3:01:19that cost him early part of the year.
- 3:01:21Here's a quote. Not an easy decision.
- 3:01:24It's something that we do not take lightly.
- 3:01:26There's a lot of potential there.
- 3:01:27When he's playing up to his potential, he's got a chance to
- 3:01:30be a pretty special player and we're going to need him, expect
- 3:01:33him to be back. But right now we feel like it's
- 3:01:37it's best for him to go down there and get reps.
- 3:01:40That's Mets manager Carlos Mendoza.
- 3:01:43Pretty unexpected for someone who a lot of people had pegged
- 3:01:47as a breakout candidate this year.
- 3:01:49Errol. Dial it up.
- 3:01:52First of all, the Mets are only a game and a half out of first
- 3:01:55place, so calm down. Everything we've seen teams go
- 3:01:59into these spurts where they're losing, they lose a multiple
- 3:02:02amount of games and, and everybody, oh, we're going to
- 3:02:04have to point our finger at somebody.
- 3:02:06It's not Juan Soto now, it's Alvarez.
- 3:02:08I'm going to speak up and I'm going to stick up for the Mets
- 3:02:11fans. I, I don't think Alvarez is the
- 3:02:14problem right now. I think right now they're
- 3:02:16pitching is falling apart. We expected this.
- 3:02:19They should have went after pitching in the offseason.
- 3:02:21They went all in on Soto and they didn't go after Max Freed.
- 3:02:25He was the guy you should have gone for.
- 3:02:27And now the Mets are eating it. They're eating their words now.
- 3:02:30We'll see how it works out for them.
- 3:02:32It's not. It hasn't been pretty over the
- 3:02:34last couple of weeks. I don't think it's all about
- 3:02:36Alvarez. Everybody has been in spurts of
- 3:02:39not hitting. Nimmo is been the only on and
- 3:02:42off hitter for this team. I Soto, you know, Francisco
- 3:02:45Lindor and then you have arguably one of the best power
- 3:02:49hitters in baseball. So I, I just think that the Mets
- 3:02:52just need to figure out what's going on with this rotation and
- 3:02:55even their bullpens been up and down over the last couple of
- 3:02:58weeks. I just, I, I don't understand
- 3:03:00why you have to point a finger out at a catcher.
- 3:03:02Who the hell cares if the catcher's hitting?
- 3:03:04He's batting 236 and his defense, I mean, the Yankees
- 3:03:08have had bad defense since Jorge Posada.
- 3:03:10I mean, they go on and off bringing, bringing these guys,
- 3:03:12these veteran players on and off because these guys just can't
- 3:03:15cut it. Wells has been the best guy from
- 3:03:19their farm system as far as defense is concerned in a very
- 3:03:22long time. It it's really been since Jorge
- 3:03:25Posada. The Yankees just can't find
- 3:03:27these guys that could do both things.
- 3:03:29I, I think the Yankees have it. So I, I don't know if it's
- 3:03:31Alvarez, he'll be back. Met fans don't worry about it.
- 3:03:35I think they'll figure things out.
- 3:03:36The Mets are a lot better than they think.
- 3:03:38People think that they are. They're in a hard division.
- 3:03:41Philadelphia is by far of the best team in that division when
- 3:03:44it comes to all around talent. I do think one way or another.
- 3:03:47But by the way, I like the Braves too.
- 3:03:49But the Braves can't stay healthy.
- 3:03:51But the Mets will figure it out. It's not Alvarez, it's it's
- 3:03:53ridiculous. Yeah, again, I don't know if
- 3:03:55it's a money problem as much as it is like a developmental issue
- 3:03:57because it's a lot of young players struggling all at once.
- 3:04:00The enters of the nice year. Last year, he's been bad.
- 3:04:01This year, Beatty had two good weeks and he's hasn't been great
- 3:04:04either. I also think it's also the
- 3:04:06previous regime with Buck Showalter, the way they, Buck
- 3:04:08Showalter and Billy Eppler, the way they handled Alvarez in the
- 3:04:11beginning, calling him up in September, like right at the end
- 3:04:13of the season, the Mets were trying to fight for the
- 3:04:15division. I think he lost a lot of
- 3:04:16confidence from a consistency standpoint that way.
- 3:04:19And I mean, the rest of his career has really just been
- 3:04:21injury issued, injury issues when it comes to him being a
- 3:04:23bulkier catcher, him trying to do a lot I think as well.
- 3:04:27I saw something where there he's trying to like over pitch frame
- 3:04:29because that's what he's been good at.
- 3:04:30And it's hurting the rest of his defense, too, which I think do.
- 3:04:33You think he's the problem? Right now, no, I think it's all
- 3:04:36the young players. It's like it's all the young
- 3:04:37players all at once. It's just a developmental
- 3:04:40organizational issue. Again, I don't think it's just
- 3:04:42this regime. I think it's the previous one
- 3:04:44too. And what?
- 3:04:45You both, Jabba, you're a professional athlete.
- 3:04:48You play baseball, professional baseball for a long time.
- 3:04:51Goody did too, and you're not playing well.
- 3:04:53What do you usually do? You let him play out of it.
- 3:04:55That's what you do. You don't send him down.
- 3:04:57You let him play out of this guy's a professional athlete.
- 3:05:00This guy is has been a good player in the in an MLB and at
- 3:05:04the top level. Why are you going to send him
- 3:05:06down and make him feel low about himself?
- 3:05:07This could hurt him. I don't like this.
- 3:05:09I think this is a bad move by the New York Mets.
- 3:05:13Yeah, it's it's tough because you look at it two ways.
- 3:05:16Sometimes a change of scenery is what you need and other times
- 3:05:21you need to go down and actually work on something.
- 3:05:23I mean, perfect example, they sent Roy Holiday all the way
- 3:05:25down to extended spring training and look what happened to him.
- 3:05:29So there's every situation is different and it kind of just
- 3:05:35goes to what they need or what you think they need.
- 3:05:40And if that's what they felt, I don't think it was a money thing
- 3:05:43whatsoever. I think it's a mental thing with
- 3:05:45him mostly right now. Yeah, and you would know more
- 3:05:50about the Mets than I do, because they suck.
- 3:05:53But it's not really like they have an obvious other solution.
- 3:05:55They do not suck. It's an obvious obvious there's
- 3:05:58OPS collectively as a catcher. It seems like Tomas Neato the.
- 3:06:02Mets are right now their record is 46 and 33.
- 3:06:05They're playing. They're not.
- 3:06:06They haven't been good in the last 10 games.
- 3:06:08They're 1:00 and 9:00, but a game and a half out of first
- 3:06:11place, they don't suck. I also.
- 3:06:14Think there's your last? Game Jabba.
- 3:06:15I also think there's also some carryover confidence or lack of
- 3:06:17confidence. His play, he had a lot, a lot of
- 3:06:19playoff woes the second series and even the NLCS against the
- 3:06:22dot. You never heard of the skin.
- 3:06:23So I think maybe some of that kind of carried over into this
- 3:06:25year. So I think a lot of it is
- 3:06:26mental. I don't think it's ability wise
- 3:06:28right now. The arbitration years don't kick
- 3:06:29in for him until next year, so they don't have to worry about
- 3:06:32any crossing him anything. I don't think he'll be down.
- 3:06:35For. A long time, maybe just to the
- 3:06:37all. Star Group and he'll.
- 3:06:38Be back after that because. They don't at.
- 3:06:39Least her ends is a little bit of a spark, but it's not really
- 3:06:41a great solution either. It could.
- 3:06:44It could be a time thing too. Maybe.
- 3:06:47I think part of it is they want him to get regular reps and
- 3:06:52they're going to have to bench him.
- 3:06:53It's going to hurt him. It's going to hurt.
- 3:06:55Him. I don't know man, it's a weird
- 3:06:57one. I thought that the numbers
- 3:06:58weren't so bad that they wouldn't let him figure it out
- 3:07:01up here. That's why usually, usually when
- 3:07:04you're in the mid 6 hundreds with OPS, you know you don't
- 3:07:07have the power. Maybe they need to change his
- 3:07:08launch angle or something like that with the the bat, but
- 3:07:10that's usually not. I don't think it's all offense
- 3:07:12with I mean, I think it's I think.
- 3:07:14It could be, yeah, it could be feeling the stress playing in
- 3:07:16New York. So they could want to, might
- 3:07:17want to give him a blow. I was.
- 3:07:19Gonna say goody you know is do you think it's something like
- 3:07:21that or do you think maybe? They're going to retool.
- 3:07:23A swing or something? I mean, playing in New York is a
- 3:07:25different beast, so maybe he's just feeling a little, you know,
- 3:07:28I don't know what the guy's feeling, but.
- 3:07:31You know. With younger guys like that,
- 3:07:34sometimes it's good just to give him a little bit of, you know, a
- 3:07:36little bit of a blow and go down a AAA where they can play a
- 3:07:39little without without as much stress.
- 3:07:43Play free, find the love of the game again.
- 3:07:45And then they'll be he'll bounce right back up, go down there,
- 3:07:48knock, knock a few AAA pitches around the park a little bit and
- 3:07:51then come back up. Sometimes it's a confidence
- 3:07:54thing. Maybe he's lacking confidence
- 3:07:55and so you want him to go build that down there.
- 3:07:57Or maybe there's a hitting coach in AAA that he really worked,
- 3:08:00you know, that he worked with that he really likes that he
- 3:08:02wants to see change your launch angle, whatever made the case
- 3:08:04may be, you know, pitch selection or whatever.
- 3:08:08But I mean, it's not uncommon to see that.
- 3:08:12And as Java said, it could be a time thing as well.
- 3:08:15So, you know, whatever it may be, I wouldn't expect him to be
- 3:08:18down there for too long. And if it is a longer stint than
- 3:08:20if there's probably underlying issues that we don't know about.
- 3:08:23Milwaukee did it with Jackson Churio at the beginning of the
- 3:08:25year for like a week and then he came back up and now he's been
- 3:08:28great. He had just a really bad start
- 3:08:29to the year. Hopefully it's the same kind of
- 3:08:31thing. You just you, you just you just
- 3:08:35hope he doesn't turn out as like Jesus Montero.
- 3:08:38Remember that turn out plus he they they hope they I hope he
- 3:08:44doesn't turn out like that. I need a blow pop.
- 3:08:47All right, well, let's move on to the next story.
- 3:08:49Moving into the other side of the city.
- 3:08:52And we got shoeless Jazz Chisholm and I spelled his name
- 3:08:55wrong on the graphic. That's terrible.
- 3:08:57Chisholm. Here it is.
- 3:08:58Well, you know, you probably probably prefer it that way.
- 3:09:00The Yankees for some reason, played at 11:30 in the morning
- 3:09:04on Sunday. That's.
- 3:09:05My guy right there, Chaz. Let's go, Chaz.
- 3:09:09All right, Nathan took place from Jazz Chisholm on a DJ
- 3:09:13Lemayu single to left. Jazz was standing on 2nd put on
- 3:09:17The Jets. As he rounded third, he lost his
- 3:09:20left shoe as on the throw from Colton, Kauser took the rookie
- 3:09:25catcher Maverick Hanley up the line.
- 3:09:28He got his arm caught trying to tag.
- 3:09:30Jazz got hurt, he dropped the ball.
- 3:09:33Jazz's other shoe flew off in the collision and scored after
- 3:09:39gathering himself without any shoes on.
- 3:09:41The Yankees would come back and win 42.
- 3:09:44I saw a lot of firsts, said Aaron Judge, 1130 game to a guy
- 3:09:48losing both his shoes. I've seen one cleat kind of
- 3:09:51running, but not both like that. That was awesome.
- 3:09:54Jazz has hit 350 since returning from a strained oblique with 11.
- 3:09:59RB is asked whether he should be called Shoeless Jazz Chisholm.
- 3:10:03He responded. Wow, is that how Shoeless Joe
- 3:10:06got his name? He ran out of his shoe how he
- 3:10:08got his name? Oh, so he wasn't wearing shoes
- 3:10:10because, famously, Shoeless Joe Jackson didn't lose his shoes.
- 3:10:13He didn't play with shoes on because he felt he could hit
- 3:10:15better without him. Besides that, Harold, we got a
- 3:10:19new nickname or you're going to stay with your favorite.
- 3:10:23Dial it up. Shoeless Jazz Jism is his
- 3:10:28nickname. I could give, I could give a
- 3:10:30crap. If he's batting 350, do it in
- 3:10:32the playoffs. Do it in the big game.
- 3:10:34He hasn't. And until he does that, I don't
- 3:10:36give a crap. He could steal bases with no
- 3:10:38shoes, He could steal with. He could steal bases with his
- 3:10:41pants down and completely bare ass.
- 3:10:43I could give a crap. Go play the game and play it
- 3:10:47hard. That's what you want to hear.
- 3:10:49That's the Yankee way, and if they don't win a championship,
- 3:10:53it's because of the one and only shoeless jazz Chism.
- 3:10:56I don't care about what he does in the regular season.
- 3:10:59I want to see if I want to see him back 350 in the playoffs.
- 3:11:02That's what I want to see. We got a guy like Gleber Torres
- 3:11:04over there in Detroit. We see what he's done in the
- 3:11:06playoffs. He's been a pretty good hit in
- 3:11:08the playoffs. Instead, the Yankees decided to
- 3:11:10deal with this idiot sitting over there dancing around with
- 3:11:13his nice big long chain and enjoying his damn prancing and
- 3:11:17dancing you want. To talk, you might want somebody
- 3:11:20else to hit in the playoff two there, Mr. If you're going to
- 3:11:23put it on him, you might want to put.
- 3:11:24It on I'm not I'm not I listen I bust his chops too and go look
- 3:11:29at the drop go look at the drop that we have on our intro until
- 3:11:33he hits in the playoffs, that's what he's going to be looked at
- 3:11:36as a guy that doesn't hit in the playoffs.
- 3:11:37Aaron Judge is one of those guys.
- 3:11:39Alex Rodriguez was that until he did it in 2009.
- 3:11:42The fact is I don't want to hear about shoeless Jazz, Chisholm or
- 3:11:47whatever the hell he is and what he does in a regular season.
- 3:11:49There's 162 games, a lot of crazy things that we've seen
- 3:11:52over the years as we've seen Jose Canseco give up a home run
- 3:11:55when he hits him in the in the back of his head all the way,
- 3:11:58you know, over the over the fence.
- 3:12:00I don't care. Go do it when it counts.
- 3:12:04Jazz jism could be shoeless jazz scrotum, I don't care.
- 3:12:10So Errol, while you were, I mean, you were caught up and we
- 3:12:13have the picture of you being caught up on your trip in this
- 3:12:17jail cell right here on the screen with the sharks biting at
- 3:12:22your feet. But we had Gary Phillips from
- 3:12:24the New York Daily News Yankees beat writer on on Thursday and
- 3:12:28we talked about Jazz and how he's there might be some
- 3:12:31misconceptions around him in the league.
- 3:12:33And he said that from everything that the reputation he had
- 3:12:37coming from Miami couldn't be further from the truth.
- 3:12:40He's been a total pro. He's he's been great in the is
- 3:12:42he a? Yankee guy?
- 3:12:43Is he a Yankee guy? He said that he doesn't root for
- 3:12:48the. That's a lie.
- 3:12:49It. Was a lie deal no he's getting
- 3:12:50paid says he's he's put he stopped doing it when he was a
- 3:12:53kid which by the way it was only a couple years ago but that's a
- 3:12:56whole new story he's a young man liar he's about speed his age
- 3:13:01well liar regard regardless they said that he was a good player
- 3:13:04in the clubhouse and if he's going to hit 350 and play good
- 3:13:06defense and run the bases and like.
- 3:13:08Blow my back up. I'll take him.
- 3:13:12Good. He could take him, take him with
- 3:13:14his shoes, take him with his pants off.
- 3:13:16I can give a crap until he does it in the playoffs and he shuts
- 3:13:19his mouth and stops wearing his long chains, chains and dancing
- 3:13:22and prancing around when he shouldn't be.
- 3:13:24I, I By the way, why do I always see jazz jism at these clubs in
- 3:13:29New York City? Every time I look, a post goes
- 3:13:32up. This guy's dancing and prancing
- 3:13:34around. I don't want to see this guy at
- 3:13:36the clubs. I just want to see him play
- 3:13:38baseball. OK, that jizz maniac, that's
- 3:13:41what I'm going to call him. You want to give him a nickname?
- 3:13:44All you Jizzamaniacs go enjoy yourself Jizzamaniacs.
- 3:13:49Is this in the leader of this group?
- 3:13:52Jizzamaniac. That would be a great T-shirt
- 3:13:54right there, Jizzamaniacs. There you go, enjoy.
- 3:13:58I hope everybody enjoys. Fans, but also fans of some
- 3:14:01strange behavior. Guys, we got one last story
- 3:14:05coming up here, Tom Brady and Eli Manning.
- 3:14:09Tom Brady won $1,000,000 in the inaugural Fanatics games held in
- 3:14:15the city this past weekend. Tom Brady defeated both athletes
- 3:14:19and fans in a series of competitions, first ever
- 3:14:21Fanatics Games in New York City. Brady said he would give $5000
- 3:14:25to each of the 50 fans who competed and donate the rest of
- 3:14:28charity. UFC fighter Justin Gatje was
- 3:14:31second and won a won a Ferrari A12.
- 3:14:34GTSA fan came in 3rd and won a rare LeBron rookie card that
- 3:14:38Brady. We gave him $250,000 on the spot
- 3:14:42with a signed Brady card in jersey.
- 3:14:44James Harden came in fourth, Eli Manning came in fifth, and they
- 3:14:49were the only other athletes finishing in the top ten besides
- 3:14:54my. On your.
- 3:14:56Face obviously I'm going to ask you what place do you think you
- 3:15:00would finish in the Fanatics games when we try them next year
- 3:15:04for the show and do it live from over there if we can I want to
- 3:15:09know how you're going to explain it when you.
- 3:15:12Dial it up. It's pretty simple.
- 3:15:15I could give a crap, Liz. Tom Brady could give me 500,000
- 3:15:20two million dollars, $3,000,000. Thank you, Tom.
- 3:15:23I don't think it means anything going to a Fanatics.
- 3:15:26First of all, we weren't even invited.
- 3:15:28And if we were invited, I would go over there and what I would
- 3:15:31try to do is shove a football up his ass.
- 3:15:33OK? That's what I want to see.
- 3:15:35I want to see Tom Brady take a football up his ass.
- 3:15:39I don't care if James Harden threw a football or did whatever
- 3:15:42he did. I don't care if Justin Gagey was
- 3:15:45out there winning a Ferrari. All I care about is Tom Brady
- 3:15:49looking like a complete juice ball idiot.
- 3:15:52That's what I think. I don't care what he gives us.
- 3:15:56He can give us 506 hundred 700,000.
- 3:15:59How about invest into this show? Tommy Boy.
- 3:16:01Tommy boy, I want your money. I want it right.
- 3:16:05I'm not playing a game that I know I'm going to lose.
- 3:16:07And Eli, stop it, stop it. You'll only win big games and
- 3:16:12you need to. What you need to do is take that
- 3:16:15football and shove it up Tommy Boy's behind.
- 3:16:18Oh, right, Speedy. Let's go.
- 3:16:20Just a maniac. Let's go just a maniacs.
- 3:16:24Nathan, are you going to play with yourself after this?
- 3:16:27All righty. All right, here's my first of
- 3:16:29all shout out to Micro Rubin putting this all together for
- 3:16:33the first two years and breaking news.
- 3:16:36I got to go back off this one. I was glad to be part of the
- 3:16:39first one, but this one what what a great breaking news.
- 3:16:44Goody has no Woody go there for me covering getting some good
- 3:16:49content breaking news. This one this for me.
- 3:16:54If I was competing in those games, I would finish second or
- 3:16:57third in my opinion. I'm I'm I'm competitive, so I I
- 3:17:01can't wait for the next one over.
- 3:17:02I'm going to make sure I'm going to get all of you guys down
- 3:17:04there. Did you go?

- 3:17:07unfortunately, but I'm going to I'm going to get you guys, all
- 3:17:10of you guys to breaking news next year and we're going to I'm
- 3:17:14going to make sure our podcast is there too next year live from
- 3:17:18there. We got to compete in the games
- 3:17:20as a team and also I'm trying to bring a couple players with us
- 3:17:25next year. So for example, John Dobson, we
- 3:17:28were trying to bring him to Fanaticus this year.
- 3:17:30I love Lisa Ann, but we we we fit into my rear end is burning
- 3:17:35this year. Next year we're my all going to
- 3:17:38there She has. Nothing.
- 3:17:40Make it happen bro. Make it happen, miss.
- 3:17:43Yeah. But I'm planning on, I'm making
- 3:17:45I'm I'm going to make sure that all this goes at the same time
- 3:17:47next year. OK, it's it's cool they do that
- 3:17:52and the school is close by us being.
- 3:17:54Fish is not a painting. Centric arrow type.
- 3:17:57Of a show, by the way, that surprised Eli Manning.
- 3:18:02Top five that should be in the Hall of Fame.
- 3:18:05And actually, I don't know if you guys told the painting his
- 3:18:08his name is Cody Sable. He was a fanatics fist.
- 3:18:11He does a really cool painting like fast painting.
- 3:18:14He he throws it on the board and.
- 3:18:17So he may hope not. Nathan, has he ever done a
- 3:18:19painting of your blue blazer bar?
- 3:18:21No, no, no. But I reached out to him about
- 3:18:23coming on the show here, so let's see.
- 3:18:25Spewing. This nonsense of a bunch of
- 3:18:28random. People all right, guys.
- 3:18:31Well, that has been yet another great episode of.
- 3:18:35Dial it up all. Right, ladies and gentlemen, we
- 3:18:42call this goodies Bag of what, Speedy Balls.
- 3:18:47My mom was going to wire. A car battery with my testicles.
- 3:18:49Trying to put Tiger. Bomb on this jungle's nuts.
- 3:18:52Goodies Bag of balls. That's how you become great man.
- 3:18:55Hang your. Balls out there.
- 3:18:58It's going to be a quick one. As we all know, LSU has won its
- 3:19:02eighth national championship men's College World Series title
- 3:19:059190390697, 2000, 2009, 20232025.
- 3:19:12Jay Johnson won two and three years places them second all
- 3:19:17time behind USC, which I don't know how they got 12 titles.
- 3:19:21They must have been playing Saint Mary's school, the blind.
- 3:19:24But they're the first program to win multiple championships in
- 3:19:29three different decades and nineties, 2000s in 20 twenties.
- 3:19:32Jay Johnson's at his fourth season.
- 3:19:35He won in 23/20/25. All is right in the world with
- 3:19:38the LSU Tigers back on back on top.
- 3:19:40Not only that, not only did we win the College World Series, we
- 3:19:44also won the Jello Shot Challenge, of course, over the
- 3:19:48bowels and Jello shots sold for Rocco's.
- 3:19:51We know how to party and that's we know how to bring it.
- 3:19:55They're number they're #1 and 2. Number one and two.
- 3:20:00Ole Miss had the record what they wanted that you guys just
- 3:20:02took over like 4 years in a row actually.
- 3:20:05Yeah, we don't. We're not used to losing.
- 3:20:08This is national championship. You to mention it was LSU's 20th
- 3:20:13College World Series of parents with an 8 and one record in the
- 3:20:17finals and it's just a program of dominance.
- 3:20:22When you think of college baseball you think of 1 school,
- 3:20:25think of two colors, purple and gold and championships being
- 3:20:29one. I hope all of you guys on this
- 3:20:32show get a chance to experience Baton Rouge for what it is.
- 3:20:37There it is. The double play to seal the
- 3:20:39deal. Chase Shores coming in, throwing
- 3:20:40102 sliders, heaters, everything.
- 3:20:45I mean Jabba, you were there. You were there live.
- 3:20:48Woody. You were there live.
- 3:20:51How does LSU travel? I don't think these northerners
- 3:20:53know exactly what it's like. Well, I mean, first of all, they
- 3:20:57don't even have to be in it to travel really, really well.
- 3:21:00Like, it doesn't matter. I love the game.
- 3:21:03I ran into so many groups that like they just, they do it as a
- 3:21:07family every year. And I think about half of them
- 3:21:11were were LSU people. And I was like, you guys just
- 3:21:13happen to be in it all the time. He's like, yeah, you know what?
- 3:21:16It makes it pretty easy for us. But it was cool getting to know
- 3:21:19him from like the other side because I've been a fan.
- 3:21:24Played there. You got upset by Stony Brook and
- 3:21:2712, right? Yep.
- 3:21:30And then now being on the other side of it.
- 3:21:32I smell I sell farts. That's gross.
- 3:21:36I just like, man, it was good. But I think you guys don't
- 3:21:39understand, like the passion, like, but it's not only the
- 3:21:43passion for them, it's the passion for the sport as a
- 3:21:46whole. Like if they're sitting out
- 3:21:48there or there's a big LSU group and you're just sitting there,
- 3:21:52you're sitting, you know, at the bar, you're walking around and
- 3:21:56you're just BS. And because there's tents
- 3:21:58everywhere and they'll spark up a conversation and go into the
- 3:22:03hotel and like, they don't care who you are.
- 3:22:07They don't care who you're rooting for.
- 3:22:08I mean, there was a little bit of, I guess I got some good
- 3:22:11stuff with, with LSU, Arkansas, but they don't like each other
- 3:22:15anyways. But I think it's just how cool
- 3:22:18it is for them to no matter what, if they're in it or not,
- 3:22:23they're always there. And they're always.
- 3:22:24Some of the coolest people. Ever.
- 3:22:27I love, I loved it, and I think they partied harder than the
- 3:22:31Thunder did when they won. Oh.
- 3:22:33Yeah, easily. That's a given.
- 3:22:35Yeah, Goody, Carl. Carl has a question in the
- 3:22:38comments. I need a gin and tonic.
- 3:22:40What was the reasoning with the umpire rejections?
- 3:22:43The whole controversy in the 1st.
- 3:22:44Inning where? Schnal Schnal.
- 3:22:46I actually know him from UCF. He was that he was a UCF
- 3:22:49assistant coach a few years ago. Awesome guy, great coach.
- 3:22:54It's kind of ridiculous. I went back and watched it.
- 3:22:56Here it is. So he's trying to get an
- 3:23:00understanding of what's going on right here and the umpire says,
- 3:23:03you know, you got a warning and he goes for what?
- 3:23:05He goes arguing balls and strikes and he goes, why?
- 3:23:08Because you missed 3 and then got the hook, quick hook, which
- 3:23:12I think is absolutely ridiculous.
- 3:23:15You can't. The umpire, it's more and more
- 3:23:19now, man. I mean, I understand the umpires
- 3:23:21take an absolute beating and they're not.
- 3:23:22They're not out there trying to suck.
- 3:23:24But like in a national championship game, you're going
- 3:23:26to run both coaches out of there like that.
- 3:23:28It's just it's mind boggling to me.
- 3:23:30Especially you should have seen how they broke it down to us
- 3:23:34like the what they the, the NCAA did.
- 3:23:38But also, you know, Angel Campos has been fired from the MLB
- 3:23:42already. Brutal.
- 3:23:44And then he did the controversy call with Cam Caldonero in the
- 3:23:49Super regional and then he got this game.
- 3:23:51Like, I mean, he got crushed. But what they said when they
- 3:23:55broke it down to us was Article 5.1 point six O 5.
- 3:24:00He said he was supposed to go and he was.
- 3:24:03And Stahl was like, there's 25,000 people here, I can't hear
- 3:24:07you. Yes.
- 3:24:09Is it a legal textbook? Oh, it literally was that like
- 3:24:13the official NCA breakdown of Y And then he got the two extra
- 3:24:18games because he came back out after he did this.
- 3:24:22So he's suspended for the next two games to start their year
- 3:24:25next year. So he he wouldn't even been
- 3:24:27able. To he wouldn't.
- 3:24:30Have been able to be in the dugout anyways if they would
- 3:24:33have got to Monday. And so it was, it was nuts.
- 3:24:36And then and then for them to try to say that he pushed him
- 3:24:39down. Yeah.
- 3:24:40Like if you see the video, it was.
- 3:24:42I get you're going to take some stuff, but just have a little
- 3:24:46feel. They call me the ladies man and
- 3:24:48Mr. Still your girl. It it bothered me.
- 3:24:53I thought his, I thought his response to the to the, to the
- 3:24:57questions being asked in an interview, like I'm not
- 3:24:59responsible for another man's athleticism as he came out and
- 3:25:02the umpire tripped on his way out and he said he bumped them,
- 3:25:05blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Honestly, I think umpires
- 3:25:10nowadays are trying to make it more about them than the actual
- 3:25:12game. And like I said, I listen.
- 3:25:14I'm like, you know, I'm coaching in this collegiate league and
- 3:25:17Carl, I'm not high. I'm.
- 3:25:20I'm coaching. The ball in baseball.
- 3:25:22Like it's been long. It's been long nights every
- 3:25:25night. Tonight it was actually a quick
- 3:25:26one. We won our 16th in a row, so got
- 3:25:29a record. Got a record last night or
- 3:25:32Saturday night? Just continue to just keep
- 3:25:35winning. As long as.
- 3:25:36She's using dude wipes and taking care of my 2 hole.
- 3:25:38I'm good. So goody, you're actually your
- 3:25:40Ted. Your team is 10 wins behind the
- 3:25:42the winning Streak Coastal. Carolina hat that.
- 3:25:44You guys are able to snap 26 wins in a row.
- 3:25:48Actually Speedy, do you have any more stats that maybe from
- 3:25:54something we like to call you're 6 pack?
- 3:25:57Oh no, LSU only does jello. Shots we're not going from. 6
- 3:26:00pack of jello shots. No.
- 3:26:03Don't need a lot. Hey, who wants to play Drink the
- 3:26:06Beer? Fold it out of.
- 3:26:10My this makes my pecker hard. 6 jello shots will be like 2
- 3:26:15minutes for the LSU students, so they're gonna need a lot more
- 3:26:17than that. Gonna even 6.
- 3:26:19Points for the big record. Speedy.
- 3:26:22Finish up this segment on LSU's win with some stats that she
- 3:26:26came up with for the College World Series.
- 3:26:30So there was a so there. That wasn't even the longest
- 3:26:33one. Coastals wasn't even the longest
- 3:26:34one this year. That was an interesting bet. 27
- 3:26:36in a row, Northeastern 1. And there's another LSU school
- 3:26:39that actually had the all time or the record this season at
- 3:26:42NAIA school, LSU Shreveport, what, 58 games in a row this
- 3:26:46year. So Coastal's O and three in that
- 3:26:50department as well. The main thing I wanted to go
- 3:26:52to, those were kind of two Step 2 combined, Kate Anderson and
- 3:26:57the game one with a complete game shut out.
- 3:26:59This is a fun coincidence, Goody.
- 3:27:01So it's the first one in the men's College World Series since
- 3:27:042016 by JC Cloney, who pitched for Arizona against Coastal
- 3:27:09Carolina when he was coached by Jeh Johnson at the time.
- 3:27:14We actually had him on the show when he was Arizona's coach back
- 3:27:17in during the pandemic. We had Jay on.
- 3:27:20We had Jay on when he was with Arizona.
- 3:27:22Yep. He's awesome.
- 3:27:23How was he? He was great.
- 3:27:24He was. He was fantastic.
- 3:27:25So yeah, that that was a cool coincidence with that complete
- 3:27:28game shuttle, 130 pitches. I just wanted you as a pitcher
- 3:27:32pitching in college. Like obviously you don't see
- 3:27:33much of them in MLB, but you don't see a lot even.
- 3:27:36I'll let you lick my blood. Later on with with college
- 3:27:38baseball, what were your thoughts to his performance with
- 3:27:41Cade? Kate Oh, dude, stellar.
- 3:27:45I mean, he's there's a reason why he's projected to go number
- 3:27:48one overall in this year's draft.
- 3:27:50You know what I'm saying? The guy's got impeccable stuff.
- 3:27:53I mean, he went out there and and both of his starts were
- 3:27:56pretty good. I know his that, you know the
- 3:27:57one, the one in the championship didn't start out hot, but like
- 3:28:01that's the sign of a good pitcher, like making end game
- 3:28:03adjustments and being able to go 9 innings.
- 3:28:06He showed that he's durable with 130 pitches.
- 3:28:09I mean, he's a key factor in why LSU was so successful this year.
- 3:28:14He set the tone and then I and some would come in the next day
- 3:28:17and dominate. And it's just like, I mean, to
- 3:28:20me, he for whatever reason, I get Cole Hamels vibes.
- 3:28:24I don't know, job. I mean, I'm sure you played
- 3:28:26against Cole Hamels, but I don't for whatever reason.
- 3:28:28I don't know if it's mechanics deliveries, but left-handed I
- 3:28:32get Cole Hamill's vibes and I think he's got AI mean he's got
- 3:28:35a really good chance to be on a fast track to the big league.
- 3:28:37He showed a lot of pitch ability and the biggest moment in
- 3:28:41college baseball. And so, I mean, but that's what
- 3:28:44we do. And that's, I mean, he, it does.
- 3:28:48And I was always trying to think of comparison because he's not,
- 3:28:51I mean, he's going to run it 95, maybe touch A6, but he's going
- 3:28:55to pitch. And it was fun to see because
- 3:28:58that's his highest walk total at 5 all year.
- 3:29:01And what I love too is you let him go.
- 3:29:06I don't care if it's one nothing.
- 3:29:07You ride that horse and let it go.
- 3:29:09Look at. And we got a shout out on the
- 3:29:11show. If we're going to talk about the
- 3:29:12College World Series. Gagewood through the 3rd, no
- 3:29:15hitter. He was one pitch away from the
- 3:29:16first ever perfect game for Arkansas.
- 3:29:19And his interview afterwards is one of the coolest interviews
- 3:29:22because he was like, well, how you feel about he goes, I
- 3:29:26shouldn't have hit him. That's all I got to say.
- 3:29:29I was like mic drop. So yeah, no, there was really
- 3:29:31good pitching all around. It was, it was, it was really
- 3:29:35fun. I mean, there was a couple games
- 3:29:37that got away, but none like ever got away.
- 3:29:40You know, they were still like grinding and good at bats.
- 3:29:43So it was, it was so fun to cover it.
- 3:29:46And you know, just see, I mean, ticket prices were going for
- 3:29:49like 2500, three $1000 rooms. Rooms were going for like over
- 3:29:56at Grand. We're talking like a Homewood
- 3:29:58Suite was going. For like themselves, it's
- 3:30:02ridiculous. Karl is ridiculous referencing
- 3:30:05Mets legend Kumar Rocker. Not that section dominating for
- 3:30:08Vanderbilt taking down Michigan. Beneficial.
- 3:30:10That sucked. Vanderbilt, they won what, three
- 3:30:15titles in six years or something?
- 3:30:17Karl Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt. Jack Leiter was on that team,
- 3:30:20too. Yeah, I got.
- 3:30:22Glider and Kumar Rocker on the same team was an incredible 1-2
- 3:30:25punch. And they were.
- 3:30:27They were. So, I mean, I don't even like, I
- 3:30:29enjoyed watching college baseball.
- 3:30:30I really enjoyed watching those two guys pitch Friday.
- 3:30:33Saturday. Like.
- 3:30:35They were ridiculously good and there's there's only been 4/4.
- 3:30:401-2 Friday, Saturday, guys that are one and two in the country
- 3:30:43and strikeouts and one of them was this year.
- 3:30:46Me and you. You have any?
- 3:30:49Let's let's wrap up. The two more, one more one.
- 3:30:52Just a quick one because goody, you mentioned Jay Johnson.
- 3:30:55He is actually the first head coach to win two titles in Four
- 3:30:58Seasons with a new school. The previous record was two in
- 3:31:00the 1st 8. Seasons.
- 3:31:02All right. Ladies and gentlemen, our final
- 3:31:04segment of the night is what's that smell?
- 3:31:07Hold up, what is that smell? What's that?
- 3:31:13Smell. Wow.
- 3:31:16You don't see that every day. Speedy, have you smelt my farts
- 3:31:18tonight? Have they smelt?
- 3:31:20I mean, I've been laying one out.
- 3:31:22I had salty foods on that cruise.
- 3:31:24And I, I will say this, I stayed away from the Indian food.
- 3:31:28No offense, Nathan, I know you're listening.
- 3:31:30I tried these Indian lamb meatballs.
- 3:31:33I almost threw up. I I really almost barfed.
- 3:31:37It had Curry, whatever, whatever.
- 3:31:38What's that? What's that crap?
- 3:31:39You definitely wouldn't like. Oh, it was it was horrible, man.
- 3:31:43I'm sorry, Nathan. Stay the hell away from lamb
- 3:31:47meatballs. I sit, Brittany.
- 3:31:50Brittany tried it. She almost threw up too.
- 3:31:52It was bad. It was really, really bad.
- 3:31:55So the whoever was cooking that and all the chefs that were
- 3:31:58there, Oh my God. And it stunk.
- 3:32:00I thought it was meatballs. Then they tried to tie it up
- 3:32:02with BBQ. I tried to put something up.
- 3:32:04Man, it was just horrible. I'll never do that again.
- 3:32:07I I was a dude. I was sitting on the bowl for at
- 3:32:10least. 20 days for honey mustard.
- 3:32:12Oh my God, I I had that too. By the way, they actually had
- 3:32:14good honey mustard, so I tried that.
- 3:32:16At the last day I had my yes, I had the chicken fingers At the
- 3:32:20last day, yes, yes, I had a goody.
- 3:32:22It was actually pretty good, but I tried all different stuff.
- 3:32:25Lisa was your last day? Yeah, it was.
- 3:32:27It was like I had a lot of chicken fingers, by the way, but
- 3:32:30I didn't eat as much as I thought I was.
- 3:32:32But I don't know. Whatever they were putting in
- 3:32:34that food, it made me just let them go.
- 3:32:36And I let it go, man. It was like I said, the kid, he
- 3:32:39was like up to my ass, standing right behind me, trying to run
- 3:32:42right through me. I let it go.
- 3:32:44It was actually pretty funny. Anyways, so if you guys don't
- 3:32:47know what's that smell? And if it does smell, so be it.
- 3:32:51We're going to give you stories that we think is, you know,
- 3:32:56interesting stories in sports or in the world.
- 3:32:58And we're going to tell you what it smells like.
- 3:32:59So tonight, we're going to go with Speedy Fish.
- 3:33:05Tommy Jabba, Goody me. Here we go.
- 3:33:11All right, I'll start it off with more tweets or more, more
- 3:33:14stories from the LJ, the LeBron James Association.
- 3:33:17But this times that it is stuff with him making tweets and then
- 3:33:21posting the wrong pictures in them.
- 3:33:23So LeBron James tweeted in in conversation with what we talked
- 3:33:29about last week, Fish and Indiana Fever players not
- 3:33:32protecting Caitlin, Caitlin Clark.
- 3:33:34But he decides to do it by not even including a picture of her,
- 3:33:38but of a former wrestler, Billy Kidman, and a former WCW
- 3:33:43wrestler who's now AWWE producer.
- 3:33:46Instead of putting Caitlin Clark in the photo, putting him in the
- 3:33:49photo. And then Caitlin Clark responds.
- 3:33:51You realize that's Billy Kidman, not me.
- 3:33:53So what does that smell like? It smells like the wrestler Pat
- 3:33:56McAfee, as sweaty as he is, and LeBron James slamming Stephen A
- 3:34:02Smith in a boat size bottle or boat boat size of Errol's cruise
- 3:34:09of chicken Curry while Stephen A Smith tries to play freestyle or
- 3:34:13solitaire at the same time. Wow.
- 3:34:16Speedy's the always the most. Allowed.
- 3:34:18I have no idea what the hell you.
- 3:34:19Just I have no idea what he was saying.
- 3:34:21He brought in Stephen A Smith. You miss Stephen A Smith getting
- 3:34:24caught playing Spider solitaire on his phone during game.
- 3:34:27Four of the NBA Finals. How wonderful.
- 3:34:32That was a what's that smell last week, But my what's that
- 3:34:35smell is just going to be focused on the pregame show and
- 3:34:38the same Stephen A Smith in the NBA Finals.
- 3:34:42Mercifully, I think this is the end of the TNT boys are going
- 3:34:46over there. But that group with Malika
- 3:34:49Andrews leading it with your favorite Bob Myers talking with
- 3:34:53Shyam Sharania, who I would argue has a little bit too much
- 3:34:56exposure on television right now.
- 3:34:58He's certainly not woes, in my opinion.
- 3:35:02But and then and then you have everyone's favorite Kendrick
- 3:35:05Perkins mixing it up. It might be the worst show.
- 3:35:09How do you pronounce his name? Shania.
- 3:35:11What is his? Name.
- 3:35:12Shania. Shania he is.
- 3:35:14It's not even that. It's like they don't get along.
- 3:35:16He's the prettiest version of Nathan.
- 3:35:21He's definitely like pretty boy version of Nathan.
- 3:35:23I think there's some of that, some truth to that.
- 3:35:26I think Nathan might might have, you know, some spicier food and.
- 3:35:30Hotter tastes about Pirania. Does on that show, because that
- 3:35:33show is just weird. Stephen A Smith you can clear
- 3:35:36doesn't get along with. Bob Myers doesn't get along
- 3:35:39with. Perkins, I don't think.
- 3:35:40Perkins gets along with anyone other than Malika Andrews.
- 3:35:43It's a weird show. Thank God those guys are back.
- 3:35:46And then you get to the Hall of Famer Mike Breen dealing with
- 3:35:50Richard Jefferson, who apparently doesn't get along
- 3:35:53with those guys at all. And there was a moment in game
- 3:35:56seven of the finals where Art Richard Jefferson says
- 3:36:00something. He's like, no, nobody, I'm just
- 3:36:02going to say this, that that literally happened on the air of
- 3:36:07game seven in the finals. That's embarrassing, guys.
- 3:36:11I'd be embarrassed if we had that.
- 3:36:13I'd be a lot less embarrassed if I had a a real cute child in a
- 3:36:17spider man outfit, you know, saying hi to everybody.
- 3:36:21What's up man? How we doing?
- 3:36:23Say hi, we. Just want to say hi.
- 3:36:25He's waving his hair. He smells awesome, right?
- 3:36:28Go Tigers. Get Get Me Out of here.
- 3:36:31Get Me Out of here. Go Tigers.
- 3:36:36Bagel ho all. Right.
- 3:36:38Go Tigers. What does it smell like?
- 3:36:41They call me the ladies man and Mr. Still you.
- 3:36:43Might be you might like this. The smelliest aquatic animal is
- 3:36:48the sea lion because their farts contain a diet of fish and
- 3:36:53squid. So what is it?
- 3:36:54What does that show smell like Sea lion farts I wonder?
- 3:36:58If the sea lion were to eat the Indian food.
- 3:37:01That arrow let. Me go next, let me go next or
- 3:37:03out of that. So we're kind of already
- 3:37:04smelling. Sea lion farts then basically.
- 3:37:06All right, That's that's great to hear.
- 3:37:09All right. Let me go.
- 3:37:12My what's that smell? And I just pulled this up on
- 3:37:16Twitter a second ago. I thought this was pretty
- 3:37:17interesting because it has to do with Florida and alligators.
- 3:37:20I thought clearly I was wrong. What?
- 3:37:24Florida's Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center has been
- 3:37:27approved. The Department of Homeland
- 3:37:29Security has approved Florida's plan to construct Alligator
- 3:37:32Alcatraz, a 30 mile square mile detention facility for
- 3:37:38undocumented immigrants in the Everglades.
- 3:37:41The site leverages the natural environment surrounded by
- 3:37:44alligators and pythons for security, reducing the need for
- 3:37:47extensive perimeter fencing. Pretty awesome, I guess.
- 3:37:51Construction's underway with an operation timeline of 30 to 60
- 3:37:55days, the fastest anything's ever been done here in Florida.
- 3:37:58The facility aims to house thousands of criminal aliens,
- 3:38:00sparking debates over its environment, impact and the
- 3:38:02ethical considerations. Pretty interesting.
- 3:38:08That smells a whole lot like Ariel Slam Curry meatball.
- 3:38:12Thoughts on this four day cruise?
- 3:38:16I like anal. Sounds like like Florida's
- 3:38:19version of Jurassic Park for for.
- 3:38:22People, my rear end is burning. I'm gonna take this little guy
- 3:38:26out of bed. Go ahead man, we love.
- 3:38:28You. What do you say?
- 3:38:28Say goodnight. Goodnight.
- 3:38:30Little one. Goodnight, Tigers.
- 3:38:32They go, Tigers say go Tigers won't go to bed.
- 3:38:36He's. Not feeling.
- 3:38:38It he's like, go to hell, go to hell.
- 3:38:43We'll see y'all. All right, good.
- 3:38:45I'll talk to you then. All right, All right.
- 3:38:47Lady. Goody, he shows up.
- 3:38:49We love Goody. We love it all, right.
- 3:38:52All right, so my turn being next, I'm going to actually kick
- 3:38:55it back to what's Speedy and Fish.
- 3:38:59We're on the topic of NBA and I'm going to talk about the NBA
- 3:39:02Championship hats and jerseys that are now on sale for the
- 3:39:06Oklahoma City Thunder. As we all know, they are the
- 3:39:09Champs. However, the hats and jerseys
- 3:39:12that are on sale, the hats that they gave to the Thunder are
- 3:39:16absolute dog shit and they look they easily look like someone
- 3:39:22someone just easily went on PowerPoint.
- 3:39:23I think Fish with the amazing graphics that he makes, could
- 3:39:26have made a way better hat or designed for that.
- 3:39:28And I just I kind of want to rehash what I also mentioned as
- 3:39:32a past previous. What's that smell of just how
- 3:39:34this this season and kind of I guess the past couple of seasons
- 3:39:37hasn't really felt like anba final setting.
- 3:39:41You know, you have to have the court that used to be decked
- 3:39:43out, used to have the players in the environment.
- 3:39:45They just look a lot more like an NBA Finals, like an NBA
- 3:39:48championship, like this is the last series to be played.
- 3:39:52However, it it didn't really come with that.
- 3:39:53You know, you had an NBA court this season in game one or two.
- 3:39:57I think with the Thunder that they had little clipart NBA
- 3:39:59Finals that even took away like midway through the game.
- 3:40:02So it's really it's really frustrating looking at these NBA
- 3:40:05quality hats go down and go down quality.
- 3:40:08And it kind of smells like Tyrese Halliburton's father in
- 3:40:12his panties after having released a huge mud pie.
- 3:40:16Queef. And if you guys watch analytics,
- 3:40:19you guys remember. What a queef actually was.
- 3:40:23So I'm gonna leave it right there for that.
- 3:40:24Are you telling me that he queefs?
- 3:40:27I mean, and he's not. Hey, check his panties man.
- 3:40:30You're telling me he's? Not a mud pie.
- 3:40:32Mud pie. Pie, not just a regular.
- 3:40:34You telling me he's a female? A mud.
- 3:40:36Thing works that way to be honest.
- 3:40:38It probably doesn't. But hey, Oh my.
- 3:40:41God. If father made a.
- 3:40:43Way. If that man can queef, he's got
- 3:40:45something special. I'm telling you, he's he's
- 3:40:47Flavor Flav without the clock. That's a good call.
- 3:40:55Disgusting. My, what's that smell is Jameer
- 3:40:57Candelario, who was their big free agent signing in 23, got
- 3:41:05hurt, sent down to AAA. This kind of goes on.
- 3:41:07What we were talking about earlier.
- 3:41:08What do you do? You send him down to AAA.
- 3:41:10He played in 15 games. He barely hit 200.
- 3:41:14And they're like, you know what? We're starting to play better.
- 3:41:17We're starting to get some contention.
- 3:41:19You lost some playing time a little bit before.
- 3:41:21Oh, yeah. But you don't have to do
- 3:41:23anything because we still owe you $22.5 million.
- 3:41:28And So what that smells like is I can suck, still get paid and
- 3:41:33make it rain at the strip club and just smell some good perfume
- 3:41:36and maybe some dirty fish. That's disgusting, OK.
- 3:41:41You get. You get both of them there.
- 3:41:43You get. Both of them you get.
- 3:41:45The both the best of both. Worlds snatch all.
- 3:41:48Right, ladies and gentlemen, laughs.
- 3:41:50What's that smell is pretty simple.
- 3:41:53Prosecutors seek five year prison term for raise Wanda
- 3:41:58Franco The prosecutor said in court that there is a is
- 3:42:03sufficient evidence to prove that Franco had a relationship
- 3:42:06with a minor for four months and that's the transfer of large
- 3:42:11sums of money to the minor's mother to consent to a legal
- 3:42:17relationship. So Wanda Franco and there is
- 3:42:19proof that there is money being transferred.
- 3:42:21So pretty much it was buying sex for a underage young, young
- 3:42:27girl. It's absolutely despicable.
- 3:42:30From the mother. From the mother, Yeah, it's
- 3:42:32despicable. They're charging the mother with
- 3:42:3410 years, You see that? Yes, I saw that too.
- 3:42:36It's it's despicable story and it's starting to grow legs.
- 3:42:40I I could only imagine. I could only imagine what is
- 3:42:43going on in many other different countries and Wanda Franco, who
- 3:42:47is just absolutely looking like a disgusting, pathetic aesthetic
- 3:42:50loser, should absolutely be terminated and never be thought
- 3:42:54of in professional sports again. What does it smell like?
- 3:42:58Well, it smells like a giraffe taking a dump and Speedy putting
- 3:43:03his nose in it and then pulling his chicken while he was doing
- 3:43:06it and smelling that with it. So Speedy, you know what chicken
- 3:43:09I'm talking about. I don't care.
- 3:43:11He doesn't care, as we all know. Well, there it is ladies and
- 3:43:15gentlemen, that was a new episode of Jop in the Mouth and
- 3:43:18boy oh boy, if you want to know what a queef is, just listen to
- 3:43:21our layout. Well, two weeks ago when Speedy
- 3:43:23gave you his own take on what a queef smells.
- 3:43:26Our. Latest analytics and of course
- 3:43:28you're going to be returning on. 30 analytics analytics analytics
- 3:43:31and and speedy anal's his lyrics right speedy Nathan does that
- 3:43:37oh, he. Does I love Lisa Ann?
- 3:43:38Nathan is the one that says on that very soundboard.
- 3:43:42Fish is not a panty dropper. Not.
- 3:43:44The one I was going for, but that works too.
- 3:43:47Good Jabba likes my shrimp cocktail.
- 3:43:51Droba, Nathan. Are you going to defend
- 3:43:54yourself, Nathan? He's still trying to figure out
- 3:44:01how to work this. We depend on what which which
- 3:44:05part? Fish wears panties.
- 3:44:09That's just not true, man. You do wear panties.
- 3:44:13You think so? Fish is a grumpy old man.
- 3:44:15Why? Are you thinking about what I'm
- 3:44:17wearing? Just said you.
- 3:44:20Think about it. That's so strange.
- 3:44:22No, I don't think about it. I need it.
- 3:44:24Literally just said the opposite.
- 3:44:27I think Speedy thinks about it a lot of hot.
- 3:44:30Are you thinking? About what he's thinking about.
- 3:44:31Why are you thinking? About what he's thinking about
- 3:44:33breaking news about it. I'm putting you on a leash now.
- 3:44:36Like an enigma wrapped in a Riddle wrapped in a mystery.
