- 1:12Playoffs in full swing. MLB full swing. No pun intended. Maybe a little bit intended.
- 1:19But let's check in with the boys. How are we doing? Chris.
- 1:25Doing pretty good. Are you still under heater? I'm not about a heater but I'm still doing all
- 1:31right. Came out like about like half a unit last night. As the heater it's definitely not a heater
- 1:38anymore but we're still up 10 plus units on the month. And yeah red's won last night.
- 1:46Pacers didn't but we'll get into that later. But overall I don't know. Still still breathing so
- 1:53we're doing all right. That's all that matters. I believe I'm up. Oh hello bandit.
- 2:03Bandit came in the room. Saw the door open behind you. Kind of freaked me out at first.
- 2:13He's just walking around. Okay.
- 2:18Since last week I'm up like three units. Just kind of when I remember to gamble I do. I just take
- 2:27the trend center picks and normally whatever pick that we tweeted out and it's working out for the
- 2:34most part. I had the over in the Pacers game last night so that hit. Yeah. And then we were all
- 2:44hanging out on Friday and Starz Avalanche went into overtime and we were like the Starz are winning
- 2:51this. And so we all kind of threw a little bit. I don't know if Sean did but me Chris and others
- 2:59threw a little bit on the on the Starz and and then ended up working out. So
- 3:04not too bad. Not too bad this week. I had one day this week I had two plays and they both lost.
- 3:12That sucked. But still up three on the week. So can't complain. John how are you doing? Are you
- 3:21still responsibly retired and I can't remember if you rode with us on that on that Starz dub.
- 3:28I emotionally rode with you guys. I was not financially riding with you guys. I'm still
- 3:36responsibly retired. Yeah. Doing fine. I'm in the last week I was actually in the single digits
- 3:47of days in my 20s. So today when this comes out will be my last day as a 20 year old.
- 3:59Oh. Oh no. Yeah. It's just like a together. It's just like a midlife crisis kind of thing
- 4:09with you not gambling right now. No. It's just nothing to really gamble on. I feel like I do
- 4:17my I get more into it in the NFL season and there's no there's no point in having all this stress
- 4:25throughout the entire year. You know. So I mean I'll dabble here and there but
- 4:34I'm not it's not an everyday thing anymore unfortunately but it will be like an everyday
- 4:44thing when football is on because I'll find something to do on Tuesday and Wednesday.
- 4:48So yeah. Gotta gotta scratch that itch. Shit. I thought of something to say but then I forgot it.
- 5:00Anyway real quick Chris if you would like to spearhead the AFL update we're going on week
- 5:10three of AFL chaos and what's what's been going on in spring football land.
- 5:23There's not it wasn't a big news in the AFL or big news week in the AFL this week which
- 5:30is probably a good thing. There were a few things. We'll start out with the positive
- 5:34for getting to the inevitable negative. The Oregon Black Bears days after announcing that they were
- 5:42canceling the rest of their season are back. They're just they're just like hey never mind.
- 5:52Jeff Fisher's here never mind. We'll play football.
- 5:54They are is actually a convenient segue. They are oh shit hold up. They are filling in for a
- 6:05team this week who just decided to go on by the Billings outlaws decided just like you know what
- 6:15we're not going to play this or this week. I tried to look into see if there's a bigger story there
- 6:22couldn't really find anything. Don't really know what's going on. But yeah they just decided
- 6:30we're not going to play this week. So the Oregon Black Bears are stepping in and playing whoever
- 6:35they were supposed to play. I don't remember the West Kansas storm I think is what they're called.
- 6:42But yeah apparently you can just do that in the AFL. Like yeah we're not we're just going to say
- 6:48goodbye this week. Is Billings North Dakota. Montana Montana yeah they're all the same.
- 6:56Yeah close enough. It's it's it's but some bad news. Let me pull up the exact tweet so I can get
- 7:05it right. We did have one team on Friday I believe it was. Yeah Friday yeah it was Friday.
- 7:13Okay the Rapid City Marshals they were playing they were warming up for a game.
- 7:22I think it was against the Billings outlaws. They were going through pregame warm-ups everything
- 7:27seemed fine. They go back to the locker room. 12 of their 24 players quit the team.
- 7:33And we're not going to play Jesus. Jesus. And when asked why they're like we're not getting paid
- 7:43enough turns out their game salary got cut from a thousand dollars game to two hundred and fifty
- 7:49dollars. So they're like fuck that. Oh look at Kroger and make more. So yeah so they're like
- 8:01yeah we're not going to play this this game. And they didn't. And I tried to find out if they
- 8:09that they're just going to play ever again since half their team quit. I couldn't find anything
- 8:14about a canceled season. So I guess we'll see. But I guess two might the Black Bears are back
- 8:23and then two teams might be on their way out. So we shall see. But yeah that's that's life in the
- 8:30AFL. You never know what's going to happen. Way she goes.
- 8:37I guess dude like getting your salary cut like 75 percent. Yeah. Is nuts.
- 8:46Yeah. And they apparently like knew this for days that like they're they started like now we're
- 8:53just going to quit like right before the game to make an actual state. That makes sense. It worked
- 8:58because people are talking they were like they like again they went through all the pregame
- 9:04warm ups and they were in the building obviously. And they're like nah we're done.
- 9:10Not only is like we're not going to play the game is we quit the team. Good. Good for them.
- 9:16It is good. It's just wild that they were just like no we're just done. Oh yeah. We flew out to
- 9:24the middle of fucking nowhere. Montana. We're not going to play this game. We'll find our own way back.
- 9:33That's a little crazy to be to quit the team in Montana is like oh you're in like no man's land.
- 9:42Yeah. Hop on the team playing back unless yeah generous. It's like all right. We're in Montana.
- 9:51Yeah. Good luck. Hop on a great. I guess. I mean they have $250 so whoa.
- 10:03They got their bus fare home. I guess. Where's Rapid City.
- 10:09I would assume Michigan. Grand Rapids. That makes sense. Yeah. I should have put that together.
- 10:22Fucking way she goes. Bubs like shit man. What are you going to do. It's wild man.
- 10:29Yeah. Okay. Moving on from from spring football. The playoffs are in full swing. Both basketball
- 10:40and hockey. The Edmonton Oilers just beat out the Canucks last night. So they will be making it to
- 10:47the conference finals against the Dallas Stars. I have that Edmonton future but the Stars are
- 10:56going to crush them. They're going to crush them. Where it is. McDavid has like a broken hand or a
- 11:02fractured hand or something. Something with his hand. He's got something going on with his hands.
- 11:07So like he can't shoot but he's still out there like out like dancing players out their pants.
- 11:16So like he's still a difference maker. Yeah. He just can only look really pass.
- 11:20And of course in the East it's the Florida Panthers and the New York Rangers which Sean found out
- 11:27before this that the Rangers have Peter La Violetta as a coach. Okay. I don't know if I like
- 11:36sound out or if I just remembered. I really can't figure it out. I feel like I knew that.
- 11:42Like you were like what. Wait. Wait a minute. Hang on. Is Peter La Violetta head coach of the
- 11:51New York Rangers. Yeah. Yes. It was pretty funny. It's pretty embarrassing. That's not a found out.
- 12:02That's a found out. Not a remember. Yeah. It's pretty embarrassing. But Panthers are currently
- 12:12up 1-0 after the first period by the way. Let's go. Let's go. I don't have anything in this.
- 12:23Yeah. I really don't want the Rangers to. I do anymore.
- 12:27Well. Okay. When I when I found out that Peter La Violetta was the head coach.
- 12:34I was already like on the train that I really didn't want the Rangers to get a cup.
- 12:40But now I'm really on the train that I really do not want the Rangers to win this cup. Yes.
- 12:48Yeah.
- 12:48Yeah. You don't want your rest but you don't want your ex to get married. No.
- 12:57No. It's like I wish you well but don't don't want to go. But not too well. Exactly. Like
- 13:05you had a good season. Let's lose now though. Yeah. I think I could be a pretty good series if
- 13:14I'm going to be honest. I think it could be. I think if it goes seven it could be really really
- 13:18entertaining. Yeah. I wanted to ask you you said the stars are going to destroy the Oilers. I've
- 13:25been hearing that like just the stars are going to Molly Wampum. Is that just kind of like consensus
- 13:32like why even play the series. I didn't know McDavid's hand was broken. So that's obviously a huge
- 13:40development because yeah he didn't really do anything in the Vancouver series. And I was
- 13:45pretty surprised by how he's God's gift to hockey and all. But yeah I was kind of wondering how
- 13:52you're feeling. Well it's not like I don't think they're going to sweep them. I think you could.
- 13:59I think it'll go six. But if it goes seven then Dallas is going to win. I don't see it going seven
- 14:08because their head coach has never lost to game seven. So I mean that's just the way I see it.
- 14:16And like Dallas is their fantastic top to bottom. I mean like they got Craig Smith on the fourth line
- 14:24and like he's like a good hockey player. Pred's legend. Yes. Predators legend.
- 14:31So it's they roll four lines. They're big. They're physical. They can score. They can play defense.
- 14:41They got everything. They got the goalie. Edmonton's goalie is Skinner and he is not very good.
- 14:49So it's just really I would be very shocked if if Dallas does not win this series.
- 15:02See that's what it like everyone was saying. Everything I've heard is yes stars are winning
- 15:06this no problem. And then so I'm like oh they must be minus like 200 or something to win this series.
- 15:12They're only minus 125 on Jack. Yeah that that to me that makes sense just because Edmonton
- 15:23has been huge favorites pretty much all season. Well after after they got back on the track from
- 15:31from their huge slide at the beginning of the season because of the McDavid factor like
- 15:37like everyone knows he is the best and they have also like the second best player in the league
- 15:46in dryside. And so it's like it makes more sense when you think about it that way. But but yes
- 15:54that that is pretty low for for that line. Yeah so I was thinking about taking it but I don't want
- 16:03to go against my boy with you having the plus 800 for the Oilers. So I also I also dislike the
- 16:13stars so I'm probably not going to take it either way. But I was just surprised to see
- 16:18after everyone's saying oh it's like they got this easy to be it only like minus 125.
- 16:24I mean this is just the way I see it shaken out. If Edmonton somehow beats Dallas they're
- 16:34going to lose to whoever makes it to the Cup final. That's that's the way I see it. If Dallas
- 16:43when if Dallas wins this series which they will they're going to win the Stanley Cup.
- 16:49That's just the way that I see it. So it's funny that you say that because
- 16:55Drakking's has lines on hypothetical Cup Cup final series. If it's Rangers Oilers as of now
- 17:06as of tonight Oilers are minus 120. Yeah I was very surprised about that on that honestly.
- 17:14I mean I'm not sure if he's got one hand. I mean it's not it's not like
- 17:27public knowledge or it's it's not like released that he is. It's more like it's word on the street.
- 17:35And like you can tell. Just like look at it. He's not shooting. He's passing. He's still creating
- 17:42space and like making necessary plays but he's not he's not like spearheading the offense
- 17:53primarily. Yeah he's more like if he's going to make a play it's going to be a pass.
- 17:59So that's so he's still there's still a factor. It's not just not the factor I guess. Gotcha.
- 18:08So I mean that's that's just the way I see it shaken out. It's I really don't want to see Dallas
- 18:16winning but I think they're gonna. So go Panthers is what it sounds like or the Oilers I guess.
- 18:26Sure. It sounds like you don't have faith in the Oilers and we dislike the Rangers and Stars.
- 18:32So we're rooting for the Panthers I guess. If the Panthers win. All right. Sure.
- 18:43Go ahead. It'd be kind of weird just because they are such a new team and like they were such
- 18:49a dog shit for years and like they finally got their shit together and now they're great.
- 18:55It would feel weird but at the same time they've been a good team for the past few years and like
- 19:03they've been building back to back cup appearances. That'd be wild. Good happen.
- 19:13It would be their third overall in how many years. 25 ish. Yeah. That'd be the third Stanley
- 19:20Cup in 25 years. The third appearance. Yeah. Appearance. So.
- 19:30But it's like I don't know. Would you take one Stanley Cup appearance in
- 19:36like the first two years and then dog shit after that for like 20 years and now you're good.
- 19:43Appearance. Yes. Or appearance. That's.
- 19:46I feel like it's up in the air if we won or not or.
- 19:55What's the what's the question. So the question is in the first two years would you take
- 20:03appearing in the Stanley like losing like like the four to Panthers they lost in the
- 20:07in the Stanley Cup. Yeah. They were swept by that. Yeah. Like yeah. 99 or something. No I wouldn't want that. Yeah. Yeah.
- 20:16To be slept and then dog shit for 20 years and then now you're yeah. But I mean compare that to.
- 20:23I mean the Preds came along not too not too long after the Panthers and we were just dog shit for
- 20:30for two decades. Yeah. We were dog shit for. Like a good like dog shit for a while and then like
- 20:44good. Yeah. For. I don't know. However after that. And then really good and for like one year.
- 20:53And then a year and a half. Yeah. Yeah. And then just pretty much downhill after that. But
- 21:03so I don't know. It's a it's tough to compare but I would take you're not one I would I would
- 21:12take the Panthers like franchise trajectory whatever you want to call it over ours. They've
- 21:24played in two finals we've played in one. Yeah. Like yes they they were like bottom of the barrel
- 21:33for a long time but but they they have they have known more pain than we have. I am numb to that at
- 21:42this point. I don't I don't I would I would rather get my hopes up and be crushed than
- 21:51just be like why even give a shit for 20 years. Then have no hope at all.
- 21:58No. I mean yeah at some point you like give me something. All I also like all I know is pain.
- 22:06So like who gives a shit. Just one more thing. Just one more. Like what's yeah what is it. Just
- 22:15add it add it to the list. Who cares. But yeah Panthers man it'd be crazy to see them win.
- 22:29Last year they got kind of dog walk in the final because they they were super duper injured.
- 22:37Could chuck a spine. I don't think they got swept. I think I got like I think they went to five maybe.
- 22:43Okay I was wondering is like two cup appearances. No actual like wins in the series. That would be wild
- 22:51against Vegas. Yes. Last year. I mean they were doomed from the get go. Oh yeah.
- 23:00It's like six. That seems like too many and like being swept is Vegas one and five.
- 23:08Yeah. So there is a device to research this. Only we have the world all the world's information
- 23:18the palm of our hand. Oh my god that yikes. I'm looking at like the scores of the series.
- 23:31Um game five you know. Yeah the series clincher. Vegas one nine to three. Yeah I had the over in
- 23:42that game. And it's like just stop. They're dead. I remember they got dead. They got dog walked in
- 23:51another one kind of early too didn't they. Yeah they lost seven to two. Seven yeah I was like I
- 23:57feel like someone scored like seven and one game. Damn. Just like he's already they're already dead
- 24:05but just just. Fuck Vegas. Man. Yeah honestly. I hate them so much. You know for a while like I
- 24:16really hated the Blackhawks and then they became really bad and I don't really hate them that much.
- 24:21Vegas has like really never done anything to me personally but I think I hate them the most.
- 24:34They are the they are my most hated franchise in the NHL. At the moment definitely when the
- 24:40Blackhawks get good again they'll take that place. Yeah but as of now yeah 100% like I mean we said it
- 24:48many times on the show. Who the fuck do you think you are. Just waltzing into this league and winning
- 24:53a cup. I mean and being amazing immediately. Well going to the cup final in your inaugural season.
- 25:00Exactly yeah who the fuck do you think you are. Damn it. And I mean that series with the
- 25:09Caps like Caps Vegas there was no way Vegas was going to win. It was OVs year. You know it was
- 25:20so I was like okay go Caps all the way but I didn't know how much I hated the Golden Knights
- 25:27in that moment and then they were just still good and they've always been good.
- 25:33That was the thing in the first year they make the cup final like oh this is fun this is cool.
- 25:40They lost so we weren't like mad especially with OV winning it was like okay whatever
- 25:45but then they stayed good and now they're cheating so it's like fuck these guys I wish them nothing
- 25:52but pain forever and like no especially like Vegas fans like no fuck you you don't deserve this.
- 26:02That's why it's like cracking fans and every fan of expansion teams like you have earned it.
- 26:07You are dog shit. You were dog shit for a while obviously the cracking one we've been around for
- 26:12two years but they have not been good. You have to earn it. They made the playoffs last year but yeah
- 26:18but like they didn't do anything. But that is a thing with like the expansion draft that happened
- 26:27and with Vegas it was people were like oh this expansion draft is broken.
- 26:35Like this is like unfair that you can only protect a certain amount of players and it was
- 26:41like all this nonsense and then Seattle comes along and just doesn't draft very well in their
- 26:51expansion draft. Did they not change I could be wrong but did they not change the rules in between?
- 26:56No I'm pretty sure they didn't. I'm pretty sure they didn't. Oh wow well then okay.
- 27:04I thought they changed the rules for whatever reason. Yeah no but you gotta think though it's
- 27:10like Vegas they did draft really well for their expansion draft they did it and they
- 27:18they got there they just couldn't finish it and now they were like oh well I guess we'll just cheat
- 27:24from like now on. I mean when the opportunity presents itself and it's not I mean it's not
- 27:32really cheating like we know it's not really cheating but it's it should it sure as hell feels
- 27:40like cheating. Well just to lie about your best players being hurt that should there that should
- 27:48be illegal. Yeah and like then another factor of them being hateable is like since their inception
- 27:58they haven't really been like too faithful to their players really like they
- 28:07kicked the curb immediately. After he won the Vezna they were like yeah fuck you. After winning the
- 28:14the the award for being the league's best goalie and they just they canned them they gave them way
- 28:22for nothing and like and he's still playing like pretty damn well. Yeah he's pretty good
- 28:29um and like with like just the the assets that they've been acquiring and like just
- 28:36just shipping off the anyone really and like they they traded for Hannafin this this trade
- 28:45deadline and they resigned him which means that Marchasso is is gone like unless they trade someone
- 28:54else uh they're not going to resign Marchasso because he was like he was like the dude that first
- 29:01year. Yeah him and William Carlson. Yeah William Carlson is like a fourth liner he's he's okay now
- 29:10but it's like he's still on the team I guess. Yeah Marchasso was like holy shit like where
- 29:16this guy's amazing how do they just find this guy and now he's what three years four years later
- 29:24and aren't gonna be on the team anymore not doesn't sit right with me. That was uh that was Florida's
- 29:31fault like because I don't know that is true yes but I don't know if you guys knew this but like
- 29:37Florida paid uh Vegas uh Wiley Smith who was one of their top line players for a while
- 29:49to take Marchasso instead of someone else yeah. I didn't know that that also feels illegal.
- 29:59Yeah well I mean there were there were deals that you could uh you could put into place during that
- 30:05expansion draft where I was like hey we're gonna take this guy and then they're like well if we
- 30:09offer you this will you take someone else. If we pay you off take someone else. That is exactly what
- 30:17transpires. It doesn't sit right with me. Yeah. Gary Batman wake the fuck up. Yeah.
- 30:29But yes they haven't they've been very non-allegent to really anyone so it's like
- 30:36you you might play in Vegas but it won't be for a while and so it's and these guys have families like
- 30:47yeah you know not all of them but you know a good portion of them and so it's like
- 30:52you don't you don't want to uproot that type of thing so it's. It's gonna be moving kids in
- 30:59the middle of school year. Yeah you can't do that. Yeah I guess. No I get it's important but
- 31:12but yeah Vegas is very hateable and I hate that the stars have just like drafted the best
- 31:23in the past five years. They've they've literally drafted the best players
- 31:27out of the draft these past like five years. They've all worked out all of them.
- 31:33We're so fucking cynical. We hate Vegas for doing it the wrong way. We hate Dallas for
- 31:38doing it the right way. We're trolls. We're like you're good fuck yourself. Yeah well
- 31:48I mean can I be good. Why can't I. That's it like we're just bitter. Yeah.
- 31:53Yeah. I don't hate the stars because they did their you know jobs well. I hate the stars because
- 32:05okay. I respect that.
- 32:10I hate them because they're in our division. Yeah exactly what I was about to say just
- 32:15they're in our division and they're good and our division is already tough as shit as it is
- 32:21and and then they just get amazing and they just they're just good.
- 32:27They're just good. I hate it. Okay moving on. I really haven't been paying attention too much
- 32:36to the NBA. I did see that the Timberwolves moved on from the Nuggets. That's crazy
- 32:44and the Pacers and Celtics played last night in the East the Eastern Conference.
- 32:52I didn't watch it but I heard the ending was pretty silly.
- 32:56Chris you might have some some thoughts about it. Me and John didn't end up watching it.
- 33:02Yeah it sucked. Pacers had a lead with under 10s I would say seven seconds left.
- 33:11All they had to do inbound the ball get fouled make your free throws. Seems simple enough right.
- 33:18They couldn't even inbound the ball turned it over. Celtics make just like a Hail Mary three like
- 33:24Jalen Brown in the corner just didn't like it was a beautiful shot but when he came up with that he
- 33:32was like turned and it was like oh this isn't going again and of course he made it and then
- 33:36just gets stomped and over time. They choked that game away. Tyrese Halliburton in the last
- 33:45in the last few minutes and then also in overtime just dribbled the ball out of bounds.
- 33:51Not like went off his knee or was poked out or anything like that just was dribbling the ball
- 33:58and then it devosted and it went out of bounds. It's a star point guard.
- 34:04I mean they played a phenomenal game until the last minute and then over time they
- 34:15I mean when you choke a game like that away you don't win so I knew when it went to overtime I was
- 34:20like why am I going to watch this and they lost like 10 or less than take because I covered the
- 34:25spread but yeah just to have the game especially when you're such a big dog you had it there
- 34:32that you was in your hand and you just choked. It was it was it was terrible. It was terrible.
- 34:44Yeah and then I see people being trying to be like well at least you like the Pacers now know
- 34:49that they can play with these guys. It's like well fruity do you're in the Eastern Conference
- 34:55finals you should fucking know you can play with these guys. I know the Celtics are very very good
- 35:00but you shouldn't be walking into the series being like well I hope you stand a chance.
- 35:06It's the Eastern Conference finals. You are one of the final four teams left in the season.
- 35:12Like there's no moral victories at this point so shut the fuck up with that. I mean that
- 35:18drove me insane but yeah it was terrible and like I said all I know is pain. None of my teams
- 35:26are ever going to do anything and it's just the way it is and they're going to get stomped in game
- 35:31too. That's just the way it goes. You don't lose a game like that and just come back and win two
- 35:38days later. It's yeah they had it and they let it slip away per usual with my teams. So yeah that's
- 35:49the Eastern Conference finals game one recap from Chris. All right. Nothing but pain as always.
- 36:03Sean I think you're muted or something. Yep sure was. Well thoughts and prayers to you
- 36:10for being a Pacers fan. We'll be thinking about you. And one thing too we can talk about this
- 36:17last week because game seven was after we recorded but game seven of the Pacers next series the pre
- 36:24game was just a Knicks jerk off fest. Like you didn't even know the Pacers were playing in this
- 36:30game. It was like the pre game which is like all right let's kick it to Stephen A and Madison
- 36:36Square Garden and he just goes on this tirade about how the Knicks are God's gift to basketball
- 36:41and everyone should just kiss the ground they walk on and then they get fucking blitzed by the
- 36:46Pacers in the first half and that half what are we talking about. We got Michael Wielbarn and some
- 36:52other fuck who I don't even know. We're like there's like what did you think about the first
- 36:57half. Pacers shot 76% in the first half. Michael Wielbarn's like well they can't sustain it they're
- 37:01probably gonna lose and this other guy was like well the Knicks OG Toppin he only played five
- 37:08minutes like we're not talking about that enough. It's like what the fuck are we doing. They had a
- 37:14historic first half and nobody gives a fuck and then fuck you Michael Wielbarn they did follow
- 37:22that up. They shot 67% from the field that game. Best shooting percentage from the field in a
- 37:28playoff game in NBA history and nobody gives a fuck because it's the Pacers. If it was the Knicks
- 37:34they would be throwing a parade already for them. I just I was livid. Fuck Stephen A. Fuck Michael
- 37:41Wielbarn. Fuck NBA. Like that was the worst. You didn't if you didn't know like what was going on
- 37:48you would have no idea that the Knicks were playing someone. You would think this was a
- 37:52championship parade for the Knicks by the way they were talking about. Knicks a game seven pregame.
- 37:58It's not like they were up 50 at the half and they're like well this game's over.
- 38:03This was pregame and then yeah you get Stephen A. and fucking who's that washed up director
- 38:10who's their fan Spike Lee pretty much making out with each other pregame. It was the worst thing
- 38:15I've ever seen. They should be ashamed of themselves. No wonder that company is going to go bankrupt
- 38:20in five years. God. Anyway. Pacers Moneyline game two.
- 38:33I've been sitting on it for a long time. Oh no. It's been a few days. It's great.
- 38:39I was so fucking mad if you couldn't tell. But yeah.
- 38:44Well you got the last laugh obviously. So. For that yeah and then they proceed to choke
- 38:54game one but whatever. I just can't find happiness.
- 38:59Well I can't I can't really help you there. But. It it did kind of feel like that.
- 39:11At times when when Nashville was playing Vancouver it did kind of feel like oh Vancouver's
- 39:17they just got to keep it going you know like like they can do this they can win like they're the
- 39:22underdog. That is they didn't win their division. And it's like Canadian bias. Every team I follow.
- 39:31It's like whenever they do something awesome it's never look at what this team did that was so cool.
- 39:38It is what did the super quote unquote superior team do to fuck it up. That's what happens with
- 39:44the Titans. That's what happens with the Prez. And that's what happened with the Pacers last week.
- 39:49That's just all of my teams. It's never maybe it's because I exclusively root for small market teams.
- 39:57But it's just it's never what did they do right. It's how did this other team possibly manage to
- 40:03lose this game. It's the way it goes. Well Chris if it helps that rant was beautiful.
- 40:16I love that. It's fantastic. That was an all timer.
- 40:25Oh let's appreciate that. Yes. Did you did you think about all of those words before you said
- 40:34them or did you just go. I mean I've been thinking variations of those words for moments game seven
- 40:41five days ago something like that. I've been thinking them in some sort of variation like that but I
- 40:47didn't walk in. I didn't even know I was going to say that honestly. I was just already wound up
- 40:53from the Pacers choking. I was like you know what I got some more things to say. And another thing.
- 41:00Fuck Steven A. and ESPN. Today is a very bad day which I don't hate Steven A. I'm not going to fuck
- 41:09him for that pregame shit but he knows the Knicks are terrible and they always will be.
- 41:13So I'm not like he's an actual realist. So it's actually hilarious how Steven A.
- 41:21like constantly shits on the Cowboys like that's as valid as valid as like a hatred for the Dallas
- 41:33Cowboys as you have. If you're a Knicks fan you can't really be spouting the same kind of nonsense.
- 41:42Like yeah like the Knicks last one in championship like I think was like a few years after Black
- 41:49people were allowed to play professional basketball. Yeah. So let's maybe like rain in your like I get
- 41:57yes drop your balls on the Cowboys all you want. They suck and they all are like play out in the
- 42:02playoffs they will suck and they always will. But like you're also a Knicks fan.
- 42:09Like that's really my point. Like you know the Dallas Cowboys are low hanging fruit
- 42:19at this point. But like don't go don't go into a pregame being like Knicks by 50.
- 42:27You know. Like basically and might as well have. Yeah. And you're in the same exact situation.
- 42:37If not worse of a situation. Like I mean and also if you want to like to I mean I'm no NBA
- 42:47historian by any stretch but I don't remember anytime the or I don't remember the last time
- 42:54the Knicks played a meaningful playoff game. The Pacers were in the East of Congress finals in 2014.
- 43:02Yeah. And they lost to LeBron and the Super Team in Miami. So
- 43:07like I just I I hate that was like ESPN being like we only give a shit about teams in New York.
- 43:17And here is our like here is the prime example. It made me so mad.
- 43:25I really liked that a wash up washed up director.
- 43:29If you told me that was so good. If you told me Spike Lee has made a movie in the last decade I
- 43:39would be genuinely surprised. I just thought I know I'm not his I'm not his target demo.
- 43:47I get it. But I have not heard that man's name mentioned outside of the Knicks in ages.
- 43:53And also been stiller. Fuck yourself. He's like a Knicks fan now. No. Spike Lee I at least respect
- 44:05his fandom. He's been there for ages. I have never seen Ben Stiller court side at a Knicks game
- 44:10until this year and he's like out here talking shit. So loved to meet the Fokkers. Fuck you.
- 44:17Ben Stiller. He was great at nine at the museum. So was I when was he was as well.
- 44:25Robin Williams. That's who. This is great. This is a great film. Ensemble cast. Ensemble cast.
- 44:35And that British dude who was also in the other guys whose name I don't know.
- 44:40Oh yeah. I know you're talking about. Fuck what is he played like one of the miniature guys.
- 44:47He was the he was the miniature opposite. Oh and Wilson the rum and gladiator guy. Yeah.
- 44:57And Hank Azaria was a like the a pharaoh or something. He was in the sequel.
- 45:03I thought he was in the original one. No he's in the sequel. Yeah he was.
- 45:14Okay. Well yeah let's move on from night at the museum one and two. Steve Kogan.
- 45:21Steve Kogan. Never heard of him. You know him. He's a yeah sure. He was the British guy and
- 45:29the other guys. He was like the British guy. He was like the bad guy quote unquote.
- 45:38Oh the scrawny one that got them tickets to the Jersey boys. The Jersey boys.
- 45:44Yeah and the and and the next game. Yes and the next game. It all comes back to the nicks.
- 45:51Fuck you bro. Fantastic. Okay. Let's move on.
- 46:07Um okay so I keep seeing this graphic today that it's like.
- 46:12All right the last four teams. There's going to be a young superstar that that gets
- 46:19a championship which is cool. It's refreshing you know. I'm sure like the Celtics have kind of
- 46:27you know been very good for the past few years but I mean it's like Luca's finally got a decent team.
- 46:37Anthony Edwards. He didn't come out of nowhere but now that he is like you know like taking over
- 46:44playoff games it's like this is awesome. Um uh fucking Tyrese Halliburton. He's been good for a year or
- 46:56two. This was his like breakout year. He's been solid for a few years but this is his like holy
- 47:02shit and he was an all star this year. Yeah so this is his breakout year. Yeah he is a very very good
- 47:08player. I mean Jason Tatum you know. That old team I mean yeah Jason Tatum is very good.
- 47:15And Jalen Brown like they're all that whole team is in Al Horford his
- 47:19crepit ass. Yeah. 37 but whatever. With his gerry. With his geriatric muscles and joints.
- 47:2937 but yes. Fucking old.
- 47:33Um but yeah that's it's pretty cool. Like it's pretty refreshing you know like the I don't think
- 47:43the Mavericks have the Mavericks haven't been this far in a long time. Since they beat the heat uh
- 47:51what year was that 2012 uh maybe it was LeBron's first year in my LeBron's first year in Miami.
- 47:58They won the championship. Rick Carlisle Pacers coach was the coach of that team.
- 48:01Right on. Hell yeah. Um I mean like the Timberwolves haven't been relevant for like a million years.
- 48:14They they made it to the Western Conference finals once with KG but that was it. I mean hell that was
- 48:22damn near 20 years ago at this point. Yes. Yes it was. So the Timberwolves it's like wow
- 48:34the Timberwolves they're in the Western Conference finals that's crazy. That's uh yeah and like
- 48:43I didn't know that uh Pascal Siakam was on the Pacers. Who else is on the Pacers?
- 48:49Miles Turner. Oh we Toppin and then the greatest white basketball player ever born T.J. McConnell.
- 49:00Um greatest white American basketball player ever born T.J. McConnell. I know that's a bit
- 49:07but I'm trying to put it. It's starting to like kind of be like we need to have a conversation
- 49:12about it. This guy's a fucking stud. I I'm just gonna look up his face. I'm having a play today
- 49:19Arizona in college. T.J. McConnell. McConnell. T.J. McConnell. Oh. Greatest white American basketball
- 49:33player ever born. The uh the picture that comes up when I google him does not do him any favors.
- 49:40I'm not saying he's the hottest guy around. I'm just saying this picture.
- 49:46What picture is this one. I can barely even see it. Oh yeah that's not that's a post game. He's
- 49:55he's super tired. Yeah he just played basketball. He looks all of 32 years old.
- 50:03Um still great. Yeah that guy's good. I I remember him now.
- 50:11Uh so like should be pretty awesome you know there's like it feels like all of the teams
- 50:21are deep or relatively deep. It doesn't feel like it's just one two and then like oh yeah role
- 50:29players. I mean yeah no you're right every team yeah no exactly you're right. It's like the Mavericks
- 50:36are kind of like because they have two stars but even then they got guys other than Luke and Kyrie
- 50:42who can play and yeah I was trying to think when you're saying like how many like core guys in this
- 50:49like last four or final four remaining have won a ring and it's like Kyrie and Siakam or I think
- 50:57are the only ones to my knowledge who have a ring. Yeah because nobody in the Timberwolves has won one
- 51:05because they kind of have those like their own guys and the Celtics are the same and the Pacers
- 51:11just having like Siakam has won one but that's with the Raptors right and then yeah and then Kyrie
- 51:17obviously but yeah so yeah it's gonna be refreshing to see new guys win a championship.
- 51:23Yeah so that's nice that's uh that's exciting that's entertaining so that's that's pretty good
- 51:32do we have anything else? Um I just want one thing. Are there been stellar movies?
- 51:39Do we want to talk about? What was that one when?
- 51:44Sarsigan Hutch? No I mean he was. What was that weird one he was in that was like really good
- 51:50the Walter or something. Was it really good? People told me it was good I never saw it.
- 51:58Okay it's if people told you it was really good they were lying. Didn't it get nominated for something?
- 52:05I don't know it's it's fine I think it's fine but yeah I mean it's really good.
- 52:15Dodgeball and Tropic Thunder are two of the best movies ever made. I mean in Tropic Thunder
- 52:23they won an Oscar for Tropic Thunder the the movie about the making of Tropic Thunder so
- 52:34if you if you put an imaginary Oscar into your movie you kind of won an Oscar. Wait the movie
- 52:41within the movie won an Oscar that's yeah okay yeah that's gotta be the first time that's ever
- 52:46happened. I think so. So they showed an Oscar for it's gotta be. Coolest thing. Also that movie was
- 52:54fucking hilarious. Yeah well that movie's so long too that movie's like two hours and 45 minutes
- 53:02long. Awesome. It's crazy that's like some Marvel movie or something. But it's awesome.
- 53:13Yeah it's great. Your mother's a cankerous whore. Hey man remember way back when I called your mom
- 53:22a cankerous whore. She's not. I didn't mean it. God damn. Let's go through everyone withdrawal.
- 53:31Okay if we're on the topic of movies then
- 53:38top sports movie ever. Yeah go. Miracle. Took mine. Yeah that's the easy choice. It's it's
- 53:52I mean it's so good it's so good. So good. It's amazing. It's an amazing movie.
- 53:57It's like non documentary just straight up like yeah like like bio like biopic. Yeah yeah based
- 54:05on true story whatever. Yeah I mean money ball was amazing. Or maybe or maybe something like you
- 54:11know the sandlot or bad news bears or you know some some fictitious. Unpopular opinion. I think
- 54:19the sandlot is incredibly overrated. Oh I think it is good. I think it is good. Yeah. But people
- 54:26talk about it like it's the greatest like kids movie ever made. And I'm like okay like it's like
- 54:33it is good. I like the movie but it is nowhere near like amazing. That's just would you classify it
- 54:39as a classic. Depends on when you see it. I would. I would find a lot of lines. It's you're
- 54:50killing me Smalls. Yeah. You put the the Molo with the Graham and the chocolate.
- 55:00That's a funny line. Yeah it's a good movie. I enjoy it. Don't get me wrong but people like
- 55:06when people say it's like the best either the best baseball movie or the best like kids movie ever made.
- 55:12I'm okay. Let's chill out. The I think it was like the Mighty Ducks 2. That movie is semi racist
- 55:25which is hilarious. How so. So on both accounts how so. So they're like it's been a while since
- 55:37I've seen it but I remember this thinking wow that was like pretty racist. They're like playing in some
- 55:44like world tournament or like Pee Wee Hockey or something and they play a team from Jamaica
- 55:54and like and like they're like they're playing them on the ice and then it pans to the crowd
- 56:01and there's like the Jamaica fans and they're all like dressed like in like some of them are in like
- 56:08hula skirts and like like tropical and they're like playing like African drums.
- 56:17Okay I need to watch that if that's true that's it's very racist that is hilarious.
- 56:23Yeah and like they were kind of like making like jungle noises. Oh my god.
- 56:33It was like it was like are there jungles in Jamaica? I thought it was just beaches.
- 56:39That's that's also the movie where Kenan Thompson known SNL alum or not alum veteran
- 56:48legend invented the knucklepuck if you remember. I did do. He invented the knucklepuck. Sure. He was
- 57:00the one that invented that move. So when you turn the puck on its side and then slap shot it
- 57:10for those at home that don't know. While we're on the topic of the mighty ducks people hate on D3
- 57:17I like that movie. Is that the one with the monkey? Is there a monkey in that movie?
- 57:23I'm not gonna lie I haven't seen it in a long time. There might be a monkey. It's like when
- 57:27they're in like college or whatever and they're playing for like a prep team. And like and like
- 57:33Mili Westavez isn't even in. He's in it for like 10 minutes but. I've only seen the first two.
- 57:41People shit on it. I kind of liked it. I think it's pretty good. Okay. It was all right.
- 57:49Like it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Yeah.
- 57:54What other sports movies? I would really like a Bombay.
- 57:59Ducks Jersey. I would really dig that. It wasn't until D3 when until they had like the
- 58:09the really nice ducks jerseys like and like one and two they had those.
- 58:15Where they had the war room. Yeah. Yeah. They had those ugly ass like green and and yellow like.
- 58:21Yeah. And like the duck on the front is like has like Down syndrome.
- 58:28And like doesn't look great at all. Well that's when that's when Disney like owned the ducks.
- 58:39And then they could use like that Jersey. Yeah. Right. I mean like the NHL team.
- 58:48Like I don't I'm not sure they ever wore like the terrible looking jerseys. They didn't look
- 58:52they didn't wear the terrible ones but like they had like the the Disney like design team around
- 59:01like the you know the purple and green like Anaheim ducks. Yeah. And that's when that in D3
- 59:10that's when it starts to get like really clean. Yeah. You know what I mean.
- 59:14In D3 that was the that was the movie where it was like oh these are like the greatest jerseys of
- 59:21all time. Type of shit. They I mean that's another discussion we can have greatest jerseys of all time
- 59:31but like that's a midsummer episode. Yeah. Yeah.
- 59:42So it was in this old D3 where I was like oh man those jerseys are fucking sick.
- 59:47What are the sports.
- 59:53It's not a great movie. I think it's it's interesting. I like the replacements with Keanu
- 1:00:00Reeves and Gene Hackman. I think it's pretty fun. Yeah. That one. It's not like objectively it is
- 1:00:08not a very good movie but I've seen it on I've seen it on TV. Yeah. Like I've never like it's
- 1:00:14I've never seen it on like uninterrupted or anything but I was like OK like I could I could
- 1:00:20get behind this like just some washed up like like all pro. Yeah. Like yeah. Just it's basically Joe
- 1:00:29Flacco like comes back and he's just fucking slinging it across the yard. And it's like
- 1:00:36loose. I mean it's loosely inspired by a true story with whatever year that NFL lockout was
- 1:00:44when they had to bring in the replacement players. But I just think it's it's fun. I like it.
- 1:00:50And John Fravro is in it. And he's cool. Yeah. Did he direct that movie.
- 1:00:57It was young John Fravro. I don't know who directed it. He always puts himself in his own movies.
- 1:01:03So I'm also going to look up a list of best sports movies.
- 1:01:12And miracles on at the top. It was not directed by Sean Howard Howard.
- 1:01:18Deutsch. Yeah. I know. Sorry. What was the football movie with Pacino. Any given Sunday. Yes.
- 1:01:35I know that like the speech is awesome. I think I've only seen that movie once and it was very
- 1:01:39a long time ago. I don't know if that's a makes me a bad like football fan. But I don't know.
- 1:01:46I don't know. It's never really appealed to me. Remember the Titans.
- 1:01:53Ended racism. Yeah.
- 1:01:57Those guys are my brothers. Well I school football team is four and oh those guys are my brothers.
- 1:02:07I think I've I've seen cash acts funny. I've seen remember the Titans like more times than
- 1:02:15I can count on all of the digits on my body. When we were just we were like teenagers. Yeah.
- 1:02:24It was on TNT every weekend. Well not even that dude. It was like I went on like a lot of church
- 1:02:32trips like in middle school and high school. And you know we would get those charter buses that had
- 1:02:39the TVs and every every single trip someone would bring remember the Titans. And it's like
- 1:02:48bro like we just watched this like two months ago. Like we just saw this movie.
- 1:02:57Have you seen it. It's great. Friday night lights is incredible.
- 1:03:03The movie the movie is great. I don't think I've seen the show at least I've never seen the show.
- 1:03:12The movie is fantastic. I don't care to see the show. The movie is perfect. Yeah. Everything about
- 1:03:20it is amazing. What do you all think about Rudy over. Oh Chris. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.
- 1:03:27Go ahead. Fuck Rudy. I I don't get it. Why is it good. Like I don't get it. I hate Rudy. I think
- 1:03:36Rudy is one of the most overrated movies of all. Never saw it. Like is that what you wanted me to
- 1:03:42say. I feel like you wanted me to make a point. I don't I don't get it. Like I just don't get why
- 1:03:49it's like everyone loves it. Like an underdog story. He doesn't do anything. He like records a sack.
- 1:04:05Cool. I don't care. Also I think the real story of Rudy is much more like radio
- 1:04:17than it is like a heroic story. I I'm I'm being dead serious. Like I think I think Rudy was like
- 1:04:26actually like the real the real Rudy. He was like mentally challenged and like that was like the
- 1:04:34reason why the Notre Dame players were like put him in for the last play of the game. Like put him
- 1:04:41in and like the coach was like no. What are you talking about. No. Yeah I just and then like yeah
- 1:04:53he got that one set which I don't even know if it's like historically accurate if I'm being honest
- 1:05:01but I think that the story of Rudy is actually like just a mentally challenged man who didn't
- 1:05:09succeed academically. I don't I'm not I'm not sure if he was actually mentally challenged
- 1:05:17but I know that he wasn't very academically successful if that makes sense. I'm not trying to
- 1:05:26put myself into a corner but I think Vince Vaughn is the best part of that whole movie
- 1:05:30and he just bullies the shit out of Rudy. Yeah.
- 1:05:41I do like Vince Vaughn though it's funny but I do not like Rudy. I don't I don't I just don't get it.
- 1:05:48Some of these sports movies that go off of like tragedy like we are Marshall.
- 1:05:53I'm going to be careful here. Okay. It's we are. I'm just saying it's much more like
- 1:06:04dramatized than like the real events that you know like in a plane crash. I'm not like oh my god.
- 1:06:15I'm not saying that didn't happen.
- 1:06:17I'm saying like you know the scene where it's like it's like look out your window right now to the
- 1:06:26NCAA commissioner and it's like the entire student body of Marshall. Yeah you gotta tweak it a little.
- 1:06:37I get it. I get it. They changed the game. They allowed freshman to be able to play and like I
- 1:06:44I get it but I don't get it. Chris says the movie rocks. I love that movie. Yeah. Matthew McConaughey.
- 1:06:56No doubt like always a fun time. The dude from Lost.
- 1:06:59Yeah. I want to say Fox. Matthew Fox. McConaughey. The black dude from the Avengers.
- 1:07:15Anthony Mackie. Yeah. I know he's been in many things. I cannot remember and he's awesome.
- 1:07:23I just couldn't remember his name. Oh yeah. Yeah. There's sports movies.
- 1:07:34That's it. I think unless or Chris do you have a UFL bets? I don't line start out.
- 1:07:41Again. Yeah I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's a good thing. I fucking suck at this.
- 1:07:46I've been doing so bad. What did you do last week? One and three.
- 1:07:57I think I've had like I had one good week where I went three and one and I think I've had two weeks
- 1:08:01where I've gone two and two and everything else has been terrible. Yeah it's been rough out here for
- 1:08:08your boy. So we're coming up on the end. I think it's going to be week nine and then we got playoffs
- 1:08:14after in two weeks. We've done nine of these things. Yep. Then we got playoff switch. I think it's
- 1:08:22just a game or a game and then the championship. Well there's 10 teams. What do you want?
- 1:08:35You're right. I don't know. I really don't know. There's two games but a game per conference.
- 1:08:41I know. Yeah. There's 10 teams. You're right. Yeah you're right. I just think it's silly. I think it's
- 1:08:54funny. It's just a little bit ridiculous is all I'm saying. It's a very entertaining product. I
- 1:09:02enjoy it. I wish it was a little bit later in the year. I wish it started later because when it starts
- 1:09:10I'm not like itching for football. It needs to start like the middle of the summer. That's what the
- 1:09:15XFL did last year I believe. They started like I think they started like around this time.
- 1:09:22It was like okay this is actually perfect. The XFL or the USFL. USFL started early. I think it was
- 1:09:28like USFL started like immediately after the Super Bowl and then XFL started like I said like around
- 1:09:35this time mid to late May. I thought it was reversed. I don't think so because I remember watching the
- 1:09:42XFL a lot more than the USFL. Okay. I'll trust you. Do we want to wrap up? Yeah we probably need to.
