Speaker 3 (00:59):
The Mets want to and best record in baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh, it's it's it's my fault that the the the
front runner for cy Young code. I Sanga got hurt today.
It's it's completely my fault and I knew better. It's
completely my fault.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's a terrible effort going to cover first base. It's
completely my fault.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
You have no idea how quickly he's coming back till
well after the All Star break.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
He's a late lowest d r A in Major League Baseball.
Now we're not going to see him left.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Now, he's not gonna win any awards. It says he
won't have played in sixty five games. Oh wait, that's
the NBA's idiocy.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
But here's why it's my fault. This, why is my fault.
It is your fault.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It is my fault because I'm enjoying my two screen
experience today of being on the computer and watching the
Mets on on MLB Network. Great, right, So I'm reading stuff.
I'm look watching the game. It's awesome, Mets are winning.
It's for nothing, sixth inning, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
A part manifest all those things.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, And so I'm doing stuff, doing stuff for the show,
all kinds of different things. And I read and there's
an article on all what are the Met's gonna do
now when their other pictures get healthy? Because coming on
their way back, Sean and Iah and Frank ca Montas
are on the way back. And I'm like, I really
want people to stop writing about this. I want people
to stop writing about this, because what do you mean,
(02:13):
what are they gonna do when everybody gets healthy? You
are just tempting fate?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Right?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And I see this all the time, but I still
think I saw that in Final Destination.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Am I really never gonna see the Jets win the
Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I'm not gonna step on that floor.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And uh, and so I'm watching I'm so I'm reading
because it gives an update on how Manea did sure
in his last you know what's next for him with
his rehab start. Probably a couple more starts for him,
but Frankie Montas maybe one more. And he's on his
way back and going, I really shouldn't read this because
this is all the New York. All they want to
say is, Oh, what are they gonna do? What are
they gonna do? What are they gonna do?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
What do they do when all their healthy pictures come back? Right?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And I start reading the article. And I'm reading the
article ground ball to first bats Alonzo wupple to throw
it at first.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's high.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh and Sanga comes down. He's hurt, always grabbing at
his hamstring. It's my fault because I was really I
knew I should read it because I actually thought to myself,
stop putting this stuff out. What are you gonna do
when everybody gets healthy? Hey, you know what, let's just
why are you even talking about that? Why are we
talking now? Okay, now you're happy you put it out
(03:16):
there in the team in baseball, best team in baseball.
Look at this, Look at this, Look at this guy.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Look at how brilliant he is. That's what happens.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You do that, you put all that positivity, and indeed
you're dancing down the street.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
What happens?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Bad things, man, bad things, bleeping down.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I didn't even let him throw out the first birthday
the one year anniversary of Grimace throwing out the first
pitch for the Mets, right and birthday?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, and they and they didn't have him.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Throw the first pitch out today, but they had Tiffany Stratton.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
How much better is that?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But you could have Tiffany Stratton throw Grimace has his
own seat at the bleep and ballpark.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Man, how do you not have grim He's already there
in hear it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
On his birthday, on his birthday, on the anniversary, hot,
why do you not have Grimace?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
How do you don't have Grimace? Thro tifty time? Dude?
You can come on, it's it's w W.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
We had dominic mysterio in the six one nine the
other night when the Padres played the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Now we get Tiffy Harmon's all the way back to WrestleMania.
Tiffy Time could throw out the first pitch tomorrow we
play at home tomorrow, we could throw the first Grimace
on his birthday? No, Grimace on his birthday today? Grimace
on his birthday today? Why can't every day? In the
anniversary birthday? How do you not have him back? Like?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Really, like why would your fate that way? Yeah? You
know his fault that that Sega got hurt. Are you
trying to pass the bucks? It's my fault that Senga
got hurt. I heard the next reach out to him,
but he can decline to see. That's why he wasn't there.
He was meeting with Dolan.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Grimm is running on the court, clapping after and tenal
next run gives them an eleven point lead.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Grimmace is just class.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Does he get a second check for being the mascot
as well as the head coach.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Here's the coach and very entertaining during the media timeouts.
It is Grimace not great at the coming back from
break interviews that we have with the coaches, but it's
still entertaining to see Grimace.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
The chair he must have to sit on is huge. Well,
I mean, you could really market those.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Eventually get the Eventually they'll get to Grimace. Eventually they
will get to Grimace. The mit Knicks will get there.
Maybe McDonald's say no, no, permission, not have permission to
talk to Grimos.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Well, you have to go for a lesser character.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You can talk to the Hamburglar or Mayor mccheese, but
you can't talk to Grimace.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, they haven't brought mccheese back. So he's kind of
in Mothballs. He's like the guy working in the office downstairs,
like Milton in Office Space.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
He might be eminent domain, might get one of those
crazy horror films where Mayor mccheese is the killer, Like
how far he goes into the public domain McDonald.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
From McDonald's where the McDonald's characters are serial killers and
you're trying to make out, you know, the Hamburglar.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say those
films are already out there in some fashion.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh, I think you could find them, right.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I haven't searched you. I mean, blow your computer up.
I mean, I mean there's people gotta be We've.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Had Winnie the Pooh, We've had Mickey Mouse, We've had so.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Many filmmakers kind of eminent domain begins wait for I
don't know it could happen, but I mean, really you
what you watch a McDonald's you know, and of course
the cop would be the burger king, well he would
be the cop trying to catch them.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But if you go back into those seventies ads, they
were like many horror films, if you really go back,
they had a witch, they had they had a lot
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Going on there. Man oh yeah, yeah, yeah no, but but.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean they were almost way the hr puffin stuff
dudes like Sid Sid Craft character, sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Pat and Pending.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Because this is really a movie idea, all the different
ways they could kill people in a movie. You know,
clearly Ronald McDonald's is pulling all the strings, but you
know that all the other henchmen go out there and
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And then it ends with the guy sitting there just
twiddling his thumb.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
It's like you didn't really act because give it forty
years Claude Gartery's I got them all?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
How come you get how come you can't catch a
McDonald killers? Because my plan is contingent on the Mocha
machine working, and that in the shake machine.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Never working, we can't catch them.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
My plan just needs the shake machine to be working once,
just one time. It's gonna say, you can say statutes
of limitations because the first ingestion of something that would
lead to an artery problem, but it would be an
ongoing part of a criminal conspiracy, so you'd never actually
(07:31):
expired those statute of limitations.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
There you go, just I.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Mean, really, Grimace, I'm here for you, man, I'm here.
I don't know how you don't have that. I don't
get it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
How many times did you watch Tiffany Stratt A couple
of times? Yeah, couple of times. Yeah, sure, but I
would have wanted greates first pitch. But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You noticed every bit of wardrobe. It's like, wait, I think,
let me watch it again. She's wearing the belt. Yeah no,
that's great, But I still I could have I could
have gone with Grimace. Today like Grimace would be the
day there's still won. Well, yeah we did, we really wait,
we won, but we lost Senga.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
But all those pitchers back, That's what the article said. Yeah,
I know, right, I'm just dumb.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
With the Dodgers, Like I knew, all right, Snell's coming
back and Toddy's coming back, and I knew to pitch
two or three times when until it gets too hot
and the sweat gets in his eyes and then he
has to beg out and all of those things.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So yeah, it's it's chaos. He's fragile. Uh fragile, Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well that's the I work, honestly, just series for a second.
I worry about him being able to It's over the
Riggers of a major League baseball season at this point
because he's in his early thirties.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
This is now the second missing time.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Who knows how much lung he made one start last
year before the playoffs like that, I wonder like, is
is he just guy that can't stay healthy?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
That's gonna be happens Like when you take an outfielder
and you say, you know what, you're only a dh
you know what, don't get off the mountain.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We'll give up the basic Meanwhile, what is happening right now?
And what has been the most entertaining Stanley Cup Final
in years? Because we had close games with overtimes, we
had foul fights on the game three.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
We have little girls becoming correspondence for fighting. I want
to see the fighting. I love the fighting. Yes, just
do I understand? No, I like the fighting.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Panthers took a three to nothing lead in the first
period over the Edmonton Oilers. And this is where you
hear people say, you know, the three nothing lead is
the most dangerous lead to play with in NHL. This
is because head of the second period it is now
three to three.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The Oilers put three on the board in the second period.
NuGen Hopkins on a power play gets things going. And
now so this series three to three going to the
third period, just like the NBA finals, right, great series, incredible,
incredible games.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's fun.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh but the markets again, like KD, you don't like it,
don't watch right, you're still seeing the finals of both
of these sports played an incredibly high level. And this,
I mean, this is the most entertaining Stanley Cup Final
in years because you had the first two games go
to overtime. Right, you had a double overtime game. You
got a thriller, and then all the fights and gain
it doesn't matter a blog. You see all those fights
like that, and this now a three goal lead. They
(10:03):
blow a three goal lead, three to three going to
the third period.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
This is as entertaining as it gets.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I gotta say, I'd love to see the Oilers get
back up off the mat, not just to fight again,
but to have some fight in them in terms of
this hockey matchup, because we go back to Game one
and how things ended, and it became the are they
going to be the Knicks? Are they? But are they
going to have one of those games? Like was that
(10:29):
game going to.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Be the backbreaker?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Right?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Just the way they lost that it would carry through
for the rest of the series. And and they've been
listless save the you know, fighting, up until this second period.
And then all of a sudden power play goals and
opportunities knock and and they take care of business. The
goalie got absolutely uh bamboozled on that tying goal, went
(10:51):
for the flip and glove outstretched, and well he misjudged
it and the d with a couple of minutes left
in the second So we get twenty minutes of contentious hockey.
And what's the over under our fights? What do you
think two and a half? Oh no, no, no, no,
come on three three? No fights?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
No no, no, no, no, no no, but no, no
you fight in the third period, you could cost your
team the Stanley Cup. No, no, no, fight will be
a fight, no fight, No, I disagree.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He's to fight.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
There will be a fight if it gets if one,
if the game gets out of hand and somebody gets up,
there will be a fight. But three to three in
the third period, nobody is fighting, nobody's nobody's gonna be that.
I don't want to say that stupid, but no one's
going to.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Lose their emotion. No one's gonna lose their emotions.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
And when it's three to three, right, you know, because
you really you could cost your team the Stanley because
you give up the other you wind up getting the penalty,
you wind up getting an instigator whatever it is, and
then the other team scores on a power play and
you're and twenty years when they're going back and go,
remember when so and so had that penalty for fighting
in the thame but nobody watched it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So did it really happen?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I no, fans of the teams and hockey fans, Well,
they'll still have it. You're not just gonna get You
didn't even go with the joke. You're not just gonna well, well,
because we didn't talk. We talk about the ratings. Like
we said, we have the KD Philosopher. You don't like it,

Speaker 5 (16:00):
The fourth Patrick Reid at his second from two hundred
and eighty six yards away, un.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
He doesn't even know that he dumped it out.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah to Patrick USA on the call. Patrick Reid, only
the fourth double eagle since the US Open started keeping
track over forty years ago.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Hits a three wood.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
On the par five fourth hold at Oakmont, two hundred
and eighty six yards out. Didn't know it went didn't
know went in. He had to look at the crowd
and make the motion like did it go in? They
told him yes, the albatross, the rarest shot in golf,
the albatross, the double eagle. Well that gets to be
of course, that's the play of the day. He threw
his arms up, had then used Look. Finally the cheering
(17:02):
begins like, all right, here we go. Now I get
the fist pump.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
So three strokes under par on the single hole, also
known as a double eagle. All that to say, he's
still shot a seventy three and his three strokes over par.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah. Connection with.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The double eagle, like the the is there any connection there?
There should be some sort of endorsement deal, like, hey,
you like double eagles, join me at the double eagle steakhouse.
Eat this cooked albatross that we are able to flow. Whoa, whoa, WHOA,
what's not the name of the steakhouse. I think it's
like a it's Doriscos, double eagle steak out something in
(17:40):
the steak world.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I don't know what it is, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
See, I just went to like, well, you want to
do name the place that. Yeah, it's a name on
Santa Monica Boulevard. We're going to cook albatrosses. We're gonna
make him him the albatross, Oh, the rarest bird to eat.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I think you get arrested for that double eagle. I
mean we've just been depending how many hours? And here
are the e lets. They're getting ready to leave the nest.
There they are, big bear, let's.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Albatrosses are highly efficient in the air, using dynamic soaring
and slope soaring to cover great distances with little exertion.
They feed on squid, fish and krill, either by scavenging surface,
surface seizing, or diving their colonial. They nest for the
most part of remote oceanic islands. I just knew this
off the top of my head. I did not just
I just knew that I had that not.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Saying a few bars of cool change by the little
River band see albatross, and well they are growing up now.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Help me out with this, because growing up I always
thought like an albatross was like a hindrance, right, Like
what am I mixing up with it? Because I remember
growing up my whole life like, oh, that's an albatross, man,
Like that's an anchor. That's how it's been you right, Like,
that's an albatross. But yet in golf it's the greatest thing.
It's Oh it's majestic bird of the rarest shot. You
could get up to a great round.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Hey, you hit.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
One great shot and then you hit you know, sixty
five bad ones. Let's good, You're not.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Gonna lasting, right.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So it goes from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem the Rhyme
of the Ancient Mariner.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Uh So it's the iron magical burden.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
That's the first time I heard that was iron Maid
rhyme off of a power Slave album.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
There You Go, nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
So Misstane, every time he cries about someone stealing a
rift from him, you rip that off psychological burden, off
of a source of guilt or shame.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
That feels like a curse. Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So it doesn't make sense like, are you saying like
the albatross, Hey, it's actually a golf curse and Patrick
Reid makes the shot. Well, he got cursed the rest.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Of the day.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I think in the poem he kills the albatross that
had stuck around his spoiler spoiler, Why do you.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Gotta talk about things that are dying and kills?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
In damn minute?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Usually go to people who are dead. No, I would
tell you about a bird that got killed in a poem.
We tell you about this how then his neck It
was a like he's a super villain and a cone
in the Barbarian movie.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Then he turned into a snake. Oh you have to
watch out. Raphael is wearing the albatross around his neck.
He is a killer.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He kills the bird. Misfortune for the crew. Here you go,
there's a curse.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Gabriel is the avenging angel that wears the dead albatross
around his neck.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I bet you have film adaptation of this. This would
be better than that damn nose Feratu movie. I watched
the Extended Car I thought.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That was I heard that was good, though terrible really
and I love Dafoe, I love the cast.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I wait Bell Bivdavo did the music.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Cot I couldn't get that done fast girl is now
that guy's tampire. Now that guy's gonna do a version
of a Christmas Carol, Wouldn'tdafoe.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Okay, all right, so the guy who wrote Lats of
the Mohicans is in this movie.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Okay, great, all.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Right, you're with the guy in the place and my
brain is working overtime tonight, Bell Bivdavot, Daniel Dafoe.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I'm good man. Well, I mean we had you know,
the what commemoration of one of Belle Bidevo's other great songs.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Oh, yeah, we did. Yeah, you celebrated the uh the
anniversary of that one.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Hey, good time was six o'clock on the Swatch watch
no time to chill, got a date, can't be late. Hey,
the Mets are gonna win again. Uh Now, I don't
think that's in the song. That is that's my new lyrics,
that's the approved version, that's the Albatross version of that song.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
That's what that is, right, I always well, but it
is in the in the poem, but it's not. But
it's good, but it's good and golf and golf, it's great.
Usually stuff is good or it's bad. It's not. Well,
it's good here, but it's bad.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah, this this is again it supposed to be really great.
It did not work for Patrick Green in terms of
his round. No, no, it didn't did not jump starting Patrick,
You had one incredible shot and like these sixty nine
bad ones. How do you feel about that? Like, you
know for a seventy three?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Uh now, it would have been a seventy six. I
didn't make that o doct You just walk away and
go I'm done. I made an albatross.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm absolutely not answering any questions walking away. Whatever else
happened doesn't matter. I didn't cheat to do it, Okay.
I made the Fox Sports radio play at the day.
You leave me a lot and cheat. I didn't move
my ball and didn't touch that wasn't supposed to get
off my back about that albatross. Albatroz, it's a difficult course.
So in Pittsburgh, one NBA star needs to stop talking, okay,
(22:23):
And and you know last night the Pacers win Game
three and look eighty one percent of the time when
you go up to one in the NBA Finals, you
win the series. And great things. We talked about how
motivated the Pacers are. Look the two big reasons that
they don't get credit for why the Pacers are up
to one and why we make the run through this playoff, says, Look,
they have a lot of guys that play with chips
(22:45):
on their shoulder because they were overlooked at some point
in their career. Whether you are Halliburton who feeds off
of being labeled as overrated. Right, you have Obi Toppen
who couldn't get on the floor with the knicks. Right
you have you have whether it's Nie Smith or or
you have TJ. McConnell who's been overrated his entire overvalued
or sorry, who's been undervalued his entire career. Right, you
(23:08):
have Matheren who wants to start right. Really, why I really,
You're coming up on the end of his rookie contract.
I can only score twenty seven points in for minutes
so many times I really want You have a lot
of guys on this Pacers team who have been overlooked,
and they play that great and the hunger they have
on the court, you see how they want to win.
They are always better conditioned the final few minutes. SGA
talked about it today. I was a little dinged up
(23:30):
at the little tired at the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Beat him up.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's what happened to Brunson at the end of games, right,
the Stars get tired, and the Pacers, because of their rotation,
they're just ready to go. They're always hungry. But then
Halliburton said this last night when he's asked about the
people in the media talking about the NBA Finals breaking
it down, and he had a very pointed message for
people who have not been on the Indiana Pacers bandwagon
(23:54):
from the beginning.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
The commentary is always going to be what it is.
You know, most of the time, the talking heads on
the major platforms, I couldn't care less, honestly, Like, what
do they really know about basketball? Uh? The commentary is
what it is. At this point, you know, it doesn't matter.
You know, we're here in the NBA Finals and two
wins away from an NBA championship. So you just gotta
stay with it. Put my head down and keep working,
(24:16):
and as a group, we just gotta keep learning from
our mistakes, seeing where we can get better and take
it to day at time.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
This is where I just want him to stop talking
for two reasons. Number One, Okay, no one is saying
you don't belong. No one is saying the pay They're
simply picking the teams that are better. Right, you had
an under you had you had an underwhelming regular season.
Of course, people are gonna pick the Cass the best
record in the Eastern Conference. Of course, people are gonna
pick the Knicks. They're gonna talk about the Nicks a lot,
the Knicks and New York. They're they're they're powerful, they're
(24:43):
they're popular. Of course, when you get to the finals,
people are gonna pick the Thunder because the Thunder were
the best team over all the regular seasons. No one's
saying that that that that you don't belong there. They're
simply picking the other team to win. Okay, So this
whole narrative that that he has. But oh you know
they're talking about, yeah, right, picked the better teams. Picking
the better teams to win doesn't have anything to do
with it.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I okay.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
But the second thing is this, Okay, I want to
say this dude, and I look, I don't care what
you say. I don't care what you think about what
we say. Look, JJ Reddick can't stand me we know this.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I don't care. Yeah, but he's not alone. Here's my
issue with this.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Halliburton and the Pacers thrive on being told you're not
you're not good enough, we don't think you can win
this series.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
They thrive on it. They thrive on this.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Halliburton thrives on being undervalued and being overrated. The thirteen
people that said he was over it. He has thrived
on this. And I see his performance over the course
of the playoffs. When he is motivated, he plays great.
But you can't sit here and thrive on that and
then come out and say, oh, you know what you're
talking about. No, he can't have it both ways, right,
Either you don't like it and and it's something or
(25:48):
but you can't. But you can't sit here and say, oh,
I don't like it. Meanwhile, it fuels you. You would
have no fuel. You might not be in the NBA
finals if you didn't have people picking against you, if
everybody picked you in the first round against the Bucks
n who knows to get there? Because I don't know
if you're motivated enough to play, if you weren't voted
most overrated player in the NBA by those handful of
players I don't know that you're this good. Maybe you
just disappear in the playoffs. But clearly I know you
(26:10):
use this as motivation, and that's great. But don't sit
here and say, now, oh, you guys are dumbed and
know what you're talking about. You need this as fuel. Right,
This is the person who was really really hungry. Someone
brings them food. They eat it and then say, ah.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
This was terrible. This is the worst meal I ever had.
But you ate it. Now you feel good. Yeah, but
I didn't like it at all, but you ate it.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You could have not eaten it, you could have asked
for something else, but you still ate it.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
But like he wants to have both sides of it
and say, yeah, I want to just wear this as
a badge, but I also really want to say I
don't need it even though I really need.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
It, like pickoling, pick aling.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Well, but that's the thing and saying you all don't
know what you're talking about. It's that fuel to some
degree of what what keeps him a flame? Right, we
had his dad was banned, and then his dad comes back,
so he's got that motivation so he can look up
and say, hey, dad, did you see I scored. Hi, Dad, Look,
you're not getting a Van Pelt apology or any of
(27:05):
that nonsense from us.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I mean, that's just not gonna happen. The math bore
it out.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
This wasn't just punditory of you know, throwing darts or
I take this side, so you have to take the
other side. No, it was algorithms with lots of variables
to say, you know what, this is a better team.
They're just as deep. They run away and hide. Guess
what they haven't. And we talked about that a lot
with the thunder coming into the playoffs, the lack of
(27:34):
close games, the fact that you have this average margin
of victory, would that come back to bite them on
occasion in the playoffs? And yes it is, and that
the Pacers on the other side, we've talked about it
since round one, going back to Milwaukee, talking about this squad,
their depth and their resiliency, and that has shown up
time and again. And for Tyrese Haliburton, I think by
(27:55):
just you know, he gets his opportunity to call everybody
an idiot, you don't know, oh basketball and all that,
which he'll fuel to say, look, I've made all the
stupid people.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Look really dumb for picking against me. It's a long play.
I get it, I I I understand. I have to
like it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
No, but but no, but it's not but it's not
it's not being consistent. You don't have any logic you
because you're saying, hey, we use this as motivation. Right, Okay, great,
but now don't insult me that you say, Oh, you
don't know. Nobody knows what you're talking about. Okay, First
of all, no one is saying you don't belong. No
one's saying you're terrible. It's just the other team gets picked. Well,
they're gonna pick one of two teams. Well, folks, that's
(28:34):
how goes that did predict them to get swept on.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Okay, so he's.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Gonna feed in, right is So listen, listen to the noise,
use it but clearly.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Works, use it, but don't sit here and try to
insult us. Oh nobody knows. They'll tell you guys need
to be quiet.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
No one knows.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
We don't listen. No, dude, you needed this because honestly,
I'm serious. If he's not voted overrated, and I don't
know that the Pacers have this run because I've seen
we've seen so many games where he has just been
a guy. And it's why is Tyre's Halliburt not more involved.
You see the talent he has. I don't know that
they're this far. They probably get knocked out against the Knicks.
But no, we're using we're using this motivation for it.
(29:09):
You should thank everybody. He should be out there saying,
you know what, this is a business, a better thing. Hey,
you know what, all the stuff that's being said, all
you people out there, thank you.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Thank you for doubting being a heel.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Thank you for doubting us, thank you for thinking we
can't win because we use this and this helps us
and now we're two wins from the NBA Championship. Thank
you very much instead of insulting us, saying thank you
because this was a gift that was given to him
and the pay because they.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Play, they play, and they use that.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
They used that chip on their shoulder better than any
team I've seen in the NBA the last few years.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
One of the greatest WWF heels of all time was
ravishing Rick Rude.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
How did he start every speech?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Thank you for coming out Now this is for all
the ladies, you fat, stupid, slow witted, lazy people. You
walkn't as I hate you know, take off my robe. Right,
it was the insulting, but you got into it because
because man, that guy's a jerk, and Tyrese Haliburton to
some degree is doing that because he wants the He
(30:06):
wants the people with the poison pen to have to
begrudgingly write those columns when they hoist Larry O'Brian.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Tommy man, just it's it's embarrassing. Just just stop, just
go play. Just go play at this point. Worry about
worry about all that crazy stuff after. But no, I
want to make sure. But he uses his motivation. Yeah,
but I'm still Oh, you're right.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's what I was hoping he would get to stand
up and just say, hey, yeah, thank you for all
the fuel, thank you for all the hate, thank you
for that.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Bobby holds up a picture of SVP. That guy apologizes.
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
So someone who's been called the Tyrese Haliburton the Fox
Sports Radio because they both own t shirts that say overrated, overrate,
that overrate that oh that one you bought that because he.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Was wearing the overrated one.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Correct, this says overrated?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Did you that one?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I did?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
And I paid eight dollars for shipping because.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
I don't want to buy anything else.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Guys, everything else.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
It would have caused me more to buy something I didn't.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Want to buy.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You paid eight dollars for ship that's right, when you
could have bought something else for thirty dollars and gotten
free ship.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Correct, that's a hard The math is mathod that's horrible logic.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
I completely would have done that. Another twenty two dollars.
You need to spend.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Shirt she'll want because that's twenty two dollars on another
shirt or dollars.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
But if you could hurt they couldn't find anything.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Else, trust me, not going to buy a shirt who
couldn't find anything else.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
I looked at like running shorts and they were like
sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I was like, no, thank you, but they were only
thirty eight dollars if you get it without doing the
shipping thing.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
No, it was so you're saving the mathew mathis.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
This is why I'd be a great CEO of retail company.
You save money by spending more. That was that the
math where I trusted the math work.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
The mathe math in here the math is math and
on the ice though, as the Edmonton Oilers scored three
goals in the second period of the Stanley Cup Final
Game four between the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
To tie the game.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
So all Florida in the first period, all Edmonton in
the second period, and we are tied at three apiece
with about eleven minutes to go in the third period.
Edmonton has twenty four shots on goal while Florida has
thirty two shots on goal. And Florida does lead this
series two to one. In baseball, one game still going
on and it's the Astros who are currently edging the
White Sox four to three.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
It is the top of the ninth.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Inning in Houston. The Yankees were on a rain delay
for a while with the Royals, but they just won
on a really weird play, but they beat them. One
zero was a final score. The Brewers shut out the
Cardinals six zero. In the Cubs edge the Pirates three
to two. Pete crow Armstrong had a two run homer
for the Cubs.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
In this show, say Cubs win. That's don't wait wait.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hold that listen to this.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
So he hit another pitch that was measured eight inches above.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
The edge of the zone.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
So there's been seven home runs hit this season that
were five inches outside of the zone and he's hit
two of them.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
So he reaches.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
So when our generation's glad Garoz so when so when
I said we don't need to go, you gave me
more information on it because.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
That was that not interesting? That was great?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Shows out special a player he is.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Don't killing how organizations really wish they had him?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
That?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Look ours here's pretty final, though. You know what's the
big hole? We have the center field? Okay, but okay, hey,
Mets of.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
One six in a row, is that better?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
But who's got the best record in baseball? The Mets
four the national score at three.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
The Rangers hit six homers today.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
As they routed the Twins sixteen to three, and the Rockies.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
They win one, they avoid a sweep.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
They beat the Giants eight to seven, and at the
Round one of the US Open, JJ spawn in the
lead four under par Brooks Koepka two shots back, John
Bromm three shots back, Jordan Speith even defending champ Bryson
de Shamba three over, along with world number one Scottie
Scheffler and Rory McElroy four over back to you guys.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Thank you, mon appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
With Mike Harmon Live and the Fox Shorts Radio Studios
coming up next. There is proof, without a doubt, proof
without a doubt that I could be running the New
York Knicks with the latest guy who was apparently at
the head of their wish list to become the Knicks
head coach that stop, don't not doc rivers, not doc rivers.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I need especially and even tagged in he just said, hey.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I need we need special microphones here at work where
when someone tries to say doc rivers, it just shuts
it off.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Like wait, I tried to try.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I try to just say I try to just say
doc oh wow, we just invented that. We just invented that.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
That's great, and we've had this technology forever.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
It's every time you talk about the Knicks, your microphone
shuts off. Coming up next, Uh yeah, proof I could
be running the Knicks because here's who they're at for

You know it's been fun in this period? Has it
been a lot of I'm gonna try to bait you.
So guys are getting away with the big slap to
the face and hammers like, ah, he didn't skape back in,
but I did lay it a good punch, so he's
gonna be a little dizzy for the next minute.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
There's been a lot of albatross's in this third albatross Uh,
So today has.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Gone by and.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Nobody that we know of has officially denied permission to
the Knicks to be interviewed to be their next head coach. Yeah, well,
well it's Grimace's birthday. He's busy today. GM Grima is busy.
It's his birthday. Well, I mean that's so cover. It
is a Grimace's birthday. Got to give a little bit
of time, so we'll figure that out. But nobody has said, oh,
(36:34):
we don't want to talk to you. The name that
has now cropped up according to a couple reports, And
this tells me that I could be the general manager
of the Knicks. I could tell Leon Rose and Worldwide
West and everybody has that. Listen, guys, this is what
you need to do, because who did I say in
the beginning, the two guys I like when they fired TIBs? Okay,
what do you need to do? Well, you go from TIBs.
You gotta go to a little bit more of a
(36:56):
player's coach. Right if they chafed under him and he
was he was unbending, you need a little bit more
of a player's coach. Who's the guy said I liked?
Mike Brown was the guy because offensive system fits is
what the Knicks want to do. Defensively, He's gonna make
them better. He has coached big personalities. He has coached
a lot of different situations, almost kind of like a
(37:16):
like like a like a Jason Kidd light because you know,
kid has gotten a little bit, you know, kids gott
into the NBA Finals. He's he's been a little bit
more successful at his couple of stops. But both Mike
Brown and Jason Kidd have had pretty similar careers with
their success. Mike Brown's terrific head coach. He's coached in
big markets. He's done at all. That's the guy. I
go call it right, I said him and Sam Cassell.
Sam Cassell always has been the next up and coming guy.
(37:39):
Mike Brown and Sam Cassell. Mike Brown, Sam Cassell. What
are reports say today? Hey guess who could be at
the top of the Knicks list. Mike Brown.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
My other guy was up there too though, like they
had the little inset of Taylor Jenkins.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Oh yeah, I hew them. But did you notice did
you notice how small that was relative to everything else
going on in this well, this is out there. I
can't see that. I can't even again make him out.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I should you know James do One should have called
me and said, Jason, what do you think I'm gonna say,
you know what, fifty grand, pay me fifty grand flat fee,
and I'll tell you who to get. Give me an hour,
little consulting fee and your magic eight ball.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
You were ready to go.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I would say, should they reach out to him? Nah,
like you getting because it says ask again later. I
would only say give me an hour because they wanted
to think that I'm doing some kind of crazy stuff
for an hour, and I would just say give me
thirty seconds. Mike Brown, you're playing pay my basketball. You
just pick up paper.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
It works. Now I can tell you who it is.
Go get Mike back, right. I told you that night.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Mike Brown was the guy all this other stuff, calling
around trying to get permission from teams who are going
to say blank you, We're not going to help the
Knicks at all. You just have to hope that the
coach says, oh, no, you're calling my team. I want
to come coach, because then it's a different story. But
so far, everybody the Knicks have reached out to, no
coaches said yes, I want that job. Because the Knicks
has been biffing this search by saying we're calling everybody where.
(38:58):
Nobody feels special. They just feel like you're on a list.
What are you gonna get to me? Oh, it's okay,
the doctor will see you in a moment.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Again.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
At thirty seconds, I would have said, Mike Brown, Mike
Brown is a guy. Here's your backup guy a Sam Cassel.
I know you like Taylor Jenkins and that's fine, but
this he's a guy that's gonna bring you everything. No.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
I like that that you went down, Mike Brown.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
My only question for you was still he can't use
a remote control like you would in that hour before
he called Dolan back to make Brunson or Cat any
better on defense. Uh, we can't attached things to their ankles.
And this is when you come in and.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Cat goes out of town and Giannis or another big
athletic forward comes into.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
You know, the only way comes to down.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
No, no, no, no, it's science.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Stop with that science. Yeah, I got I gotta get
enough that it's science line from Frostburg. Youre gonna give
me a different line than it's science. It's not science. No, no, no, no, no,
I could be did the math I carried the one
I could have made fifty thousand dollars and I feel
like I'm under selling myself so that but.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Then you get proof of concept.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
If they hire any succeeds the next time, it's like
two fifty.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah, oh yeah, sure, well it would be the next thing.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
It would be the next team to call, going, hey,
but them great advice. Can you help us? Sure, I'll
help you. No, exactly. Now it's a one hundred grand with
the Knicks.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
I gotta think part of the strategy in calling all
these squads is to try to sow the seeds and malcontentedness.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Okay, maybe you know this. This creates a ripple of

You can go about your business. I'm going about my business, right,
that doesn't make sense. I'm going to New York big
city lights, fifty grand I could have done.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
The Mets want to and best record in baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh, it's it's it's my fault that the the the
front runner for cy Young code. I Sanga got hurt today.
It's it's completely my fault and I knew better. It's
completely my fault.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's a terrible effort going to cover first base. It's
completely my fault.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
You have no idea how quickly he's coming back till
well after the All Star break.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
He's a late lowest d r A in Major League Baseball.
Now we're not going to see him left.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Now, he's not gonna win any awards. It says he
won't have played in sixty five games. Oh wait, that's
the NBA's idiocy.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
But here's why it's my fault. This, why is my fault.
It is your fault.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It is my fault because I'm enjoying my two screen
experience today of being on the computer and watching the
Mets on on MLB Network. Great, right, So I'm reading stuff.
I'm look watching the game. It's awesome, Mets are winning.
It's for nothing, sixth inning, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
A part manifest all those things.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, And so I'm doing stuff, doing stuff for the show,
all kinds of different things. And I read and there's
an article on all what are the Met's gonna do
now when their other pictures get healthy? Because coming on
their way back, Sean and Iah and Frank ca Montas
are on the way back. And I'm like, I really
want people to stop writing about this. I want people
to stop writing about this, because what do you mean,
(02:13):
what are they gonna do when everybody gets healthy? You
are just tempting fate?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Right?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And I see this all the time, but I still
think I saw that in Final Destination.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Am I really never gonna see the Jets win the
Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I'm not gonna step on that floor.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And uh, and so I'm watching I'm so I'm reading
because it gives an update on how Manea did sure
in his last you know what's next for him with
his rehab start. Probably a couple more starts for him,
but Frankie Montas maybe one more. And he's on his
way back and going, I really shouldn't read this because
this is all the New York. All they want to
say is, Oh, what are they gonna do? What are
they gonna do? What are they gonna do?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
What do they do when all their healthy pictures come back? Right?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And I start reading the article. And I'm reading the
article ground ball to first bats Alonzo wupple to throw
it at first.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's high.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh and Sanga comes down. He's hurt, always grabbing at
his hamstring. It's my fault because I was really I
knew I should read it because I actually thought to myself,
stop putting this stuff out. What are you gonna do
when everybody gets healthy? Hey, you know what, let's just
why are you even talking about that? Why are we
talking now? Okay, now you're happy you put it out
(03:16):
there in the team in baseball, best team in baseball.
Look at this, Look at this, Look at this guy.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Look at how brilliant he is. That's what happens.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You do that, you put all that positivity, and indeed
you're dancing down the street.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
What happens?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Bad things, man, bad things, bleeping down.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I didn't even let him throw out the first birthday
the one year anniversary of Grimace throwing out the first
pitch for the Mets, right and birthday?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, and they and they didn't have him.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Throw the first pitch out today, but they had Tiffany Stratton.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
How much better is that?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But you could have Tiffany Stratton throw Grimace has his
own seat at the bleep and ballpark.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Man, how do you not have grim He's already there
in hear it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
On his birthday, on his birthday, on the anniversary, hot,
why do you not have Grimace?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
How do you don't have Grimace? Thro tifty time? Dude?
You can come on, it's it's w W.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
We had dominic mysterio in the six one nine the
other night when the Padres played the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Now we get Tiffy Harmon's all the way back to WrestleMania.
Tiffy Time could throw out the first pitch tomorrow we
play at home tomorrow, we could throw the first Grimace
on his birthday? No, Grimace on his birthday today? Grimace
on his birthday today? Why can't every day? In the
anniversary birthday? How do you not have him back? Like?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Really, like why would your fate that way? Yeah? You
know his fault that that Sega got hurt. Are you
trying to pass the bucks? It's my fault that Senga
got hurt. I heard the next reach out to him,
but he can decline to see. That's why he wasn't there.
He was meeting with Dolan.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Grimm is running on the court, clapping after and tenal
next run gives them an eleven point lead.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Grimmace is just class.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Does he get a second check for being the mascot
as well as the head coach.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Here's the coach and very entertaining during the media timeouts.
It is Grimace not great at the coming back from
break interviews that we have with the coaches, but it's
still entertaining to see Grimace.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
The chair he must have to sit on is huge. Well,
I mean, you could really market those.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Eventually get the Eventually they'll get to Grimace. Eventually they
will get to Grimace. The mit Knicks will get there.
Maybe McDonald's say no, no, permission, not have permission to
talk to Grimos.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Well, you have to go for a lesser character.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You can talk to the Hamburglar or Mayor mccheese, but
you can't talk to Grimace.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, they haven't brought mccheese back. So he's kind of
in Mothballs. He's like the guy working in the office downstairs,
like Milton in Office Space.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
He might be eminent domain, might get one of those
crazy horror films where Mayor mccheese is the killer, Like
how far he goes into the public domain McDonald.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
From McDonald's where the McDonald's characters are serial killers and
you're trying to make out, you know, the Hamburglar.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say those
films are already out there in some fashion.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh, I think you could find them, right.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I haven't searched you. I mean, blow your computer up.
I mean, I mean there's people gotta be We've.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Had Winnie the Pooh, We've had Mickey Mouse, We've had so.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Many filmmakers kind of eminent domain begins wait for I
don't know it could happen, but I mean, really you
what you watch a McDonald's you know, and of course
the cop would be the burger king, well he would
be the cop trying to catch them.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But if you go back into those seventies ads, they
were like many horror films, if you really go back,
they had a witch, they had they had a lot
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Going on there. Man oh yeah, yeah, yeah no, but but.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean they were almost way the hr puffin stuff
dudes like Sid Sid Craft character, sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Pat and Pending.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Because this is really a movie idea, all the different
ways they could kill people in a movie. You know,
clearly Ronald McDonald's is pulling all the strings, but you
know that all the other henchmen go out there and
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And then it ends with the guy sitting there just
twiddling his thumb.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
It's like you didn't really act because give it forty
years Claude Gartery's I got them all?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
How come you get how come you can't catch a
McDonald killers? Because my plan is contingent on the Mocha
machine working, and that in the shake machine.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Never working, we can't catch them.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
My plan just needs the shake machine to be working once,
just one time. It's gonna say, you can say statutes
of limitations because the first ingestion of something that would
lead to an artery problem, but it would be an
ongoing part of a criminal conspiracy, so you'd never actually
(07:31):
expired those statute of limitations.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
There you go, just I.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Mean, really, Grimace, I'm here for you, man, I'm here.
I don't know how you don't have that. I don't
get it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
How many times did you watch Tiffany Stratt A couple
of times? Yeah, couple of times. Yeah, sure, but I
would have wanted greates first pitch. But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You noticed every bit of wardrobe. It's like, wait, I think,
let me watch it again. She's wearing the belt. Yeah no,
that's great, But I still I could have I could
have gone with Grimace. Today like Grimace would be the
day there's still won. Well, yeah we did, we really wait,
we won, but we lost Senga.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
But all those pitchers back, That's what the article said. Yeah,
I know, right, I'm just dumb.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
With the Dodgers, Like I knew, all right, Snell's coming
back and Toddy's coming back, and I knew to pitch
two or three times when until it gets too hot
and the sweat gets in his eyes and then he
has to beg out and all of those things.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So yeah, it's it's chaos. He's fragile. Uh fragile, Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well that's the I work, honestly, just series for a second.
I worry about him being able to It's over the
Riggers of a major League baseball season at this point
because he's in his early thirties.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
This is now the second missing time.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Who knows how much lung he made one start last
year before the playoffs like that, I wonder like, is
is he just guy that can't stay healthy?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
That's gonna be happens Like when you take an outfielder
and you say, you know what, you're only a dh
you know what, don't get off the mountain.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We'll give up the basic Meanwhile, what is happening right now?
And what has been the most entertaining Stanley Cup Final
in years? Because we had close games with overtimes, we
had foul fights on the game three.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
We have little girls becoming correspondence for fighting. I want
to see the fighting. I love the fighting. Yes, just
do I understand? No, I like the fighting.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Panthers took a three to nothing lead in the first
period over the Edmonton Oilers. And this is where you
hear people say, you know, the three nothing lead is
the most dangerous lead to play with in NHL. This
is because head of the second period it is now
three to three.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The Oilers put three on the board in the second period.
NuGen Hopkins on a power play gets things going. And
now so this series three to three going to the
third period, just like the NBA finals, right, great series, incredible,
incredible games.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's fun.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh but the markets again, like KD, you don't like it,
don't watch right, you're still seeing the finals of both
of these sports played an incredibly high level. And this,
I mean, this is the most entertaining Stanley Cup Final
in years because you had the first two games go
to overtime. Right, you had a double overtime game. You
got a thriller, and then all the fights and gain
it doesn't matter a blog. You see all those fights
like that, and this now a three goal lead. They
(10:03):
blow a three goal lead, three to three going to
the third period.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
This is as entertaining as it gets.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I gotta say, I'd love to see the Oilers get
back up off the mat, not just to fight again,
but to have some fight in them in terms of
this hockey matchup, because we go back to Game one
and how things ended, and it became the are they
going to be the Knicks? Are they? But are they
going to have one of those games? Like was that
(10:29):
game going to.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Be the backbreaker?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Right?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Just the way they lost that it would carry through
for the rest of the series. And and they've been
listless save the you know, fighting, up until this second period.
And then all of a sudden power play goals and
opportunities knock and and they take care of business. The
goalie got absolutely uh bamboozled on that tying goal, went
(10:51):
for the flip and glove outstretched, and well he misjudged
it and the d with a couple of minutes left
in the second So we get twenty minutes of contentious hockey.
And what's the over under our fights? What do you
think two and a half? Oh no, no, no, no,
come on three three? No fights?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
No no, no, no, no, no no, but no, no
you fight in the third period, you could cost your
team the Stanley Cup. No, no, no, fight will be
a fight, no fight, No, I disagree.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He's to fight.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
There will be a fight if it gets if one,
if the game gets out of hand and somebody gets up,
there will be a fight. But three to three in
the third period, nobody is fighting, nobody's nobody's gonna be that.
I don't want to say that stupid, but no one's
going to.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Lose their emotion. No one's gonna lose their emotions.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
And when it's three to three, right, you know, because
you really you could cost your team the Stanley because
you give up the other you wind up getting the penalty,
you wind up getting an instigator whatever it is, and
then the other team scores on a power play and
you're and twenty years when they're going back and go,
remember when so and so had that penalty for fighting
in the thame but nobody watched it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So did it really happen?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I no, fans of the teams and hockey fans, Well,
they'll still have it. You're not just gonna get You
didn't even go with the joke. You're not just gonna well, well,

we said, we have the KD Philosopher. You don't like it,

(15:24):
that big NBA final story coming up in a couple minutes,

Speaker 5 (15:50):
What?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
No rarer than holes in one? Yes, you get to
be the play of the day. This just happened.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
The fourth Patrick Reid at his second from two hundred
and eighty six yards away, un.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
He doesn't even know that he dumped it out.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah to Patrick USA on the call. Patrick Reid, only
the fourth double eagle since the US Open started keeping
track over forty years ago.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Hits a three wood.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
On the par five fourth hold at Oakmont, two hundred
and eighty six yards out. Didn't know it went didn't
know went in. He had to look at the crowd
and make the motion like did it go in? They
told him yes, the albatross, the rarest shot in golf,
the albatross, the double eagle. Well that gets to be
of course, that's the play of the day. He threw
his arms up, had then used Look. Finally the cheering
(17:02):
begins like, all right, here we go. Now I get
the fist pump.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
So three strokes under par on the single hole, also
known as a double eagle. All that to say, he's
still shot a seventy three and his three strokes over par.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah. Connection with.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The double eagle, like the the is there any connection there?
There should be some sort of endorsement deal, like, hey,
you like double eagles, join me at the double eagle steakhouse.
Eat this cooked albatross that we are able to flow. Whoa, whoa, WHOA,
what's not the name of the steakhouse. I think it's
like a it's Doriscos, double eagle steak out something in
(17:40):
the steak world.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I don't know what it is, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
See, I just went to like, well, you want to
do name the place that. Yeah, it's a name on
Santa Monica Boulevard. We're going to cook albatrosses. We're gonna
make him him the albatross, Oh, the rarest bird to eat.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I think you get arrested for that double eagle. I
mean we've just been depending how many hours? And here
are the e lets. They're getting ready to leave the nest.
There they are, big bear, let's.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Albatrosses are highly efficient in the air, using dynamic soaring
and slope soaring to cover great distances with little exertion.
They feed on squid, fish and krill, either by scavenging surface,
surface seizing, or diving their colonial. They nest for the
most part of remote oceanic islands. I just knew this
off the top of my head. I did not just
I just knew that I had that not.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Saying a few bars of cool change by the little
River band see albatross, and well they are growing up now.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Help me out with this, because growing up I always
thought like an albatross was like a hindrance, right, Like
what am I mixing up with it? Because I remember
growing up my whole life like, oh, that's an albatross, man,
Like that's an anchor. That's how it's been you right, Like,
that's an albatross. But yet in golf it's the greatest thing.
It's Oh it's majestic bird of the rarest shot. You
could get up to a great round.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Hey, you hit.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
One great shot and then you hit you know, sixty
five bad ones. Let's good, You're not.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Gonna lasting, right.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So it goes from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem the Rhyme
of the Ancient Mariner.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Uh So it's the iron magical burden.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
That's the first time I heard that was iron Maid
rhyme off of a power Slave album.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
There You Go, nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
So Misstane, every time he cries about someone stealing a
rift from him, you rip that off psychological burden, off
of a source of guilt or shame.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
That feels like a curse. Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So it doesn't make sense like, are you saying like
the albatross, Hey, it's actually a golf curse and Patrick
Reid makes the shot. Well, he got cursed the rest.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Of the day.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I think in the poem he kills the albatross that
had stuck around his spoiler spoiler, Why do you.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Gotta talk about things that are dying and kills?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
In damn minute?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Usually go to people who are dead. No, I would
tell you about a bird that got killed in a poem.
We tell you about this how then his neck It
was a like he's a super villain and a cone
in the Barbarian movie.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Then he turned into a snake. Oh you have to
watch out. Raphael is wearing the albatross around his neck.
He is a killer.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He kills the bird. Misfortune for the crew. Here you go,
there's a curse.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Gabriel is the avenging angel that wears the dead albatross
around his neck.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I bet you have film adaptation of this. This would
be better than that damn nose Feratu movie. I watched
the Extended Car I thought.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That was I heard that was good, though terrible really
and I love Dafoe, I love the cast.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I wait Bell Bivdavo did the music.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Cot I couldn't get that done fast girl is now
that guy's tampire. Now that guy's gonna do a version
of a Christmas Carol, Wouldn'tdafoe.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Okay, all right, so the guy who wrote Lats of
the Mohicans is in this movie.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Okay, great, all.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Right, you're with the guy in the place and my
brain is working overtime tonight, Bell Bivdavot, Daniel Dafoe.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I'm good man. Well, I mean we had you know,
the what commemoration of one of Belle Bidevo's other great songs.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Oh, yeah, we did. Yeah, you celebrated the uh the
anniversary of that one.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Hey, good time was six o'clock on the Swatch watch
no time to chill, got a date, can't be late. Hey,
the Mets are gonna win again. Uh Now, I don't
think that's in the song. That is that's my new lyrics,
that's the approved version, that's the Albatross version of that song.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
That's what that is, right, I always well, but it
is in the in the poem, but it's not. But
it's good, but it's good and golf and golf, it's great.
Usually stuff is good or it's bad. It's not. Well,
it's good here, but it's bad.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah, this this is again it supposed to be really great.
It did not work for Patrick Green in terms of
his round. No, no, it didn't did not jump starting Patrick,
You had one incredible shot and like these sixty nine
bad ones. How do you feel about that? Like, you
know for a seventy three?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Uh now, it would have been a seventy six. I
didn't make that o doct You just walk away and
go I'm done. I made an albatross.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm absolutely not answering any questions walking away. Whatever else
happened doesn't matter. I didn't cheat to do it, Okay.
I made the Fox Sports radio play at the day.
You leave me a lot and cheat. I didn't move
my ball and didn't touch that wasn't supposed to get
off my back about that albatross. Albatroz, it's a difficult course.
So in Pittsburgh, one NBA star needs to stop talking, okay,
(22:23):
And and you know last night the Pacers win Game
three and look eighty one percent of the time when
you go up to one in the NBA Finals, you
win the series. And great things. We talked about how
motivated the Pacers are. Look the two big reasons that
they don't get credit for why the Pacers are up
to one and why we make the run through this playoff, says, Look,
they have a lot of guys that play with chips
(22:45):
on their shoulder because they were overlooked at some point
in their career. Whether you are Halliburton who feeds off
of being labeled as overrated. Right, you have Obi Toppen
who couldn't get on the floor with the knicks. Right
you have you have whether it's Nie Smith or or
you have TJ. McConnell who's been overrated his entire overvalued
or sorry, who's been undervalued his entire career. Right, you
(23:08):
have Matheren who wants to start right. Really, why I really,
You're coming up on the end of his rookie contract.
I can only score twenty seven points in for minutes
so many times I really want You have a lot
of guys on this Pacers team who have been overlooked,
and they play that great and the hunger they have
on the court, you see how they want to win.
They are always better conditioned the final few minutes. SGA
talked about it today. I was a little dinged up
(23:30):
at the little tired at the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Beat him up.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's what happened to Brunson at the end of games, right,
the Stars get tired, and the Pacers, because of their rotation,
they're just ready to go. They're always hungry. But then
Halliburton said this last night when he's asked about the
people in the media talking about the NBA Finals breaking
it down, and he had a very pointed message for
people who have not been on the Indiana Pacers bandwagon
(23:54):
from the beginning.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
The commentary is always going to be what it is.
You know, most of the time, the talking heads on
the major platforms, I couldn't care less, honestly, Like, what
do they really know about basketball? Uh? The commentary is
what it is. At this point, you know, it doesn't matter.
You know, we're here in the NBA Finals and two
wins away from an NBA championship. So you just gotta
stay with it. Put my head down and keep working,
(24:16):
and as a group, we just gotta keep learning from
our mistakes, seeing where we can get better and take
it to day at time.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
This is where I just want him to stop talking
for two reasons. Number One, Okay, no one is saying
you don't belong. No one is saying the pay They're
simply picking the teams that are better. Right, you had
an under you had you had an underwhelming regular season.
Of course, people are gonna pick the Cass the best
record in the Eastern Conference. Of course, people are gonna
pick the Knicks. They're gonna talk about the Nicks a lot,
the Knicks and New York. They're they're they're powerful, they're
(24:43):
they're popular. Of course, when you get to the finals,
people are gonna pick the Thunder because the Thunder were
the best team over all the regular seasons. No one's
saying that that that that you don't belong there. They're
simply picking the other team to win. Okay, So this
whole narrative that that he has. But oh you know
they're talking about, yeah, right, picked the better teams. Picking
the better teams to win doesn't have anything to do
with it.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I okay.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
But the second thing is this, Okay, I want to
say this dude, and I look, I don't care what
you say. I don't care what you think about what
we say. Look, JJ Reddick can't stand me we know this.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I don't care. Yeah, but he's not alone. Here's my
issue with this.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Halliburton and the Pacers thrive on being told you're not
you're not good enough, we don't think you can win
this series.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
They thrive on it. They thrive on this.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Halliburton thrives on being undervalued and being overrated. The thirteen
people that said he was over it. He has thrived
on this. And I see his performance over the course
of the playoffs. When he is motivated, he plays great.
But you can't sit here and thrive on that and
then come out and say, oh, you know what you're
talking about. No, he can't have it both ways, right,
Either you don't like it and and it's something or
(25:48):
but you can't. But you can't sit here and say, oh,
I don't like it. Meanwhile, it fuels you. You would
have no fuel. You might not be in the NBA
finals if you didn't have people picking against you, if
everybody picked you in the first round against the Bucks
n who knows to get there? Because I don't know
if you're motivated enough to play, if you weren't voted
most overrated player in the NBA by those handful of
players I don't know that you're this good. Maybe you
just disappear in the playoffs. But clearly I know you
(26:10):
use this as motivation, and that's great. But don't sit
here and say, now, oh, you guys are dumbed and
know what you're talking about. You need this as fuel. Right,
This is the person who was really really hungry. Someone
brings them food. They eat it and then say, ah.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
This was terrible. This is the worst meal I ever had.
But you ate it. Now you feel good. Yeah, but
I didn't like it at all, but you ate it.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You could have not eaten it, you could have asked
for something else, but you still ate it.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
But like he wants to have both sides of it
and say, yeah, I want to just wear this as
a badge, but I also really want to say I
don't need it even though I really need.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
It, like pickoling, pick aling.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Well, but that's the thing and saying you all don't
know what you're talking about. It's that fuel to some
degree of what what keeps him a flame? Right, we
had his dad was banned, and then his dad comes back,
so he's got that motivation so he can look up
and say, hey, dad, did you see I scored. Hi, Dad, Look,
you're not getting a Van Pelt apology or any of
(27:05):
that nonsense from us.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I mean, that's just not gonna happen. The math bore
it out.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
This wasn't just punditory of you know, throwing darts or
I take this side, so you have to take the
other side. No, it was algorithms with lots of variables
to say, you know what, this is a better team.
They're just as deep. They run away and hide. Guess
what they haven't. And we talked about that a lot
with the thunder coming into the playoffs, the lack of
(27:34):
close games, the fact that you have this average margin
of victory, would that come back to bite them on
occasion in the playoffs? And yes it is, and that
the Pacers on the other side, we've talked about it
since round one, going back to Milwaukee, talking about this squad,
their depth and their resiliency, and that has shown up
time and again. And for Tyrese Haliburton, I think by
(27:55):
just you know, he gets his opportunity to call everybody
an idiot, you don't know, oh basketball and all that,
which he'll fuel to say, look, I've made all the
stupid people.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Look really dumb for picking against me. It's a long play.
I get it, I I I understand. I have to
like it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
No, but but no, but it's not but it's not
it's not being consistent. You don't have any logic you
because you're saying, hey, we use this as motivation. Right, Okay, great,
but now don't insult me that you say, Oh, you
don't know. Nobody knows what you're talking about. Okay, First
of all, no one is saying you don't belong. No
one's saying you're terrible. It's just the other team gets picked. Well,
they're gonna pick one of two teams. Well, folks, that's
(28:34):
how goes that did predict them to get swept on.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Okay, so he's.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Gonna feed in, right is So listen, listen to the noise,
use it but clearly.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Works, use it, but don't sit here and try to
insult us. Oh nobody knows. They'll tell you guys need
to be quiet.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
No one knows.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
We don't listen. No, dude, you needed this because honestly,
I'm serious. If he's not voted overrated, and I don't
know that the Pacers have this run because I've seen
we've seen so many games where he has just been
a guy. And it's why is Tyre's Halliburt not more involved.
You see the talent he has. I don't know that
they're this far. They probably get knocked out against the Knicks.
But no, we're using we're using this motivation for it.
(29:09):
You should thank everybody. He should be out there saying,
you know what, this is a business, a better thing. Hey,
you know what, all the stuff that's being said, all
you people out there, thank you.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Thank you for doubting being a heel.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Thank you for doubting us, thank you for thinking we
can't win because we use this and this helps us
and now we're two wins from the NBA Championship. Thank
you very much instead of insulting us, saying thank you
because this was a gift that was given to him
and the pay because they.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Play, they play, and they use that.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
They used that chip on their shoulder better than any
team I've seen in the NBA the last few years.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
One of the greatest WWF heels of all time was
ravishing Rick Rude.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
How did he start every speech?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Thank you for coming out Now this is for all
the ladies, you fat, stupid, slow witted, lazy people. You
walkn't as I hate you know, take off my robe. Right,
it was the insulting, but you got into it because
because man, that guy's a jerk, and Tyrese Haliburton to
some degree is doing that because he wants the He
(30:06):
wants the people with the poison pen to have to
begrudgingly write those columns when they hoist Larry O'Brian.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Tommy man, just it's it's embarrassing. Just just stop, just
go play. Just go play at this point. Worry about
worry about all that crazy stuff after. But no, I
want to make sure. But he uses his motivation. Yeah,
but I'm still Oh, you're right.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's what I was hoping he would get to stand
up and just say, hey, yeah, thank you for all
the fuel, thank you for all the hate, thank you
for that.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Bobby holds up a picture of SVP. That guy apologizes.
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
So someone who's been called the Tyrese Haliburton the Fox
Sports Radio because they both own t shirts that say overrated, overrate,
that overrate that oh that one you bought that because he.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Was wearing the overrated one.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Correct, this says overrated?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Did you that one?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I did?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
And I paid eight dollars for shipping because.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
I don't want to buy anything else.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Guys, everything else.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
It would have caused me more to buy something I didn't.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Want to buy.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You paid eight dollars for ship that's right, when you
could have bought something else for thirty dollars and gotten
free ship.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Correct, that's a hard The math is mathod that's horrible logic.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
I completely would have done that. Another twenty two dollars.
You need to spend.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Shirt she'll want because that's twenty two dollars on another
shirt or dollars.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
But if you could hurt they couldn't find anything.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Else, trust me, not going to buy a shirt who
couldn't find anything else.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
I looked at like running shorts and they were like
sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I was like, no, thank you, but they were only
thirty eight dollars if you get it without doing the
shipping thing.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
No, it was so you're saving the mathew mathis.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
This is why I'd be a great CEO of retail company.
You save money by spending more. That was that the
math where I trusted the math work.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
The mathe math in here the math is math and
on the ice though, as the Edmonton Oilers scored three
goals in the second period of the Stanley Cup Final
Game four between the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
To tie the game.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
So all Florida in the first period, all Edmonton in
the second period, and we are tied at three apiece
with about eleven minutes to go in the third period.
Edmonton has twenty four shots on goal while Florida has
thirty two shots on goal. And Florida does lead this
series two to one. In baseball, one game still going
on and it's the Astros who are currently edging the
White Sox four to three.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
It is the top of the ninth.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Inning in Houston. The Yankees were on a rain delay
for a while with the Royals, but they just won
on a really weird play, but they beat them. One
zero was a final score. The Brewers shut out the
Cardinals six zero. In the Cubs edge the Pirates three
to two. Pete crow Armstrong had a two run homer
for the Cubs.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
In this show, say Cubs win. That's don't wait wait.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hold that listen to this.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
So he hit another pitch that was measured eight inches above.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
The edge of the zone.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
So there's been seven home runs hit this season that
were five inches outside of the zone and he's hit
two of them.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
So he reaches.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
So when our generation's glad Garoz so when so when
I said we don't need to go, you gave me
more information on it because.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
That was that not interesting? That was great?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Shows out special a player he is.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Don't killing how organizations really wish they had him?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
That?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Look ours here's pretty final, though. You know what's the
big hole? We have the center field? Okay, but okay, hey,
Mets of.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
One six in a row, is that better?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
But who's got the best record in baseball? The Mets
four the national score at three.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
The Rangers hit six homers today.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
As they routed the Twins sixteen to three, and the Rockies.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
They win one, they avoid a sweep.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
They beat the Giants eight to seven, and at the
Round one of the US Open, JJ spawn in the
lead four under par Brooks Koepka two shots back, John
Bromm three shots back, Jordan Speith even defending champ Bryson
de Shamba three over, along with world number one Scottie
Scheffler and Rory McElroy four over back to you guys.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Thank you, mon appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
With Mike Harmon Live and the Fox Shorts Radio Studios
coming up next. There is proof, without a doubt, proof
without a doubt that I could be running the New
York Knicks with the latest guy who was apparently at
the head of their wish list to become the Knicks
head coach that stop, don't not doc rivers, not doc rivers.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I need especially and even tagged in he just said, hey.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I need we need special microphones here at work where
when someone tries to say doc rivers, it just shuts
it off.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Like wait, I tried to try.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I try to just say I try to just say
doc oh wow, we just invented that. We just invented that.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
That's great, and we've had this technology forever.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
It's every time you talk about the Knicks, your microphone
shuts off. Coming up next, Uh yeah, proof I could

You know it's been fun in this period? Has it
been a lot of I'm gonna try to bait you.
So guys are getting away with the big slap to
the face and hammers like, ah, he didn't skape back in,
but I did lay it a good punch, so he's
gonna be a little dizzy for the next minute.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
There's been a lot of albatross's in this third albatross Uh,
So today has.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Gone by and.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Nobody that we know of has officially denied permission to
the Knicks to be interviewed to be their next head coach. Yeah, well,
well it's Grimace's birthday. He's busy today. GM Grima is busy.
It's his birthday. Well, I mean that's so cover. It
is a Grimace's birthday. Got to give a little bit
of time, so we'll figure that out. But nobody has said, oh,
(36:34):
we don't want to talk to you. The name that
has now cropped up according to a couple reports, And
this tells me that I could be the general manager
of the Knicks. I could tell Leon Rose and Worldwide
West and everybody has that. Listen, guys, this is what
you need to do, because who did I say in
the beginning, the two guys I like when they fired TIBs? Okay,
what do you need to do? Well, you go from TIBs.
You gotta go to a little bit more of a
(36:56):
player's coach. Right if they chafed under him and he
was he was unbending, you need a little bit more
of a player's coach. Who's the guy said I liked?
Mike Brown was the guy because offensive system fits is
what the Knicks want to do. Defensively, He's gonna make
them better. He has coached big personalities. He has coached
a lot of different situations, almost kind of like a
(37:16):
like like a like a Jason Kidd light because you know,
kid has gotten a little bit, you know, kids gott
into the NBA Finals. He's he's been a little bit
more successful at his couple of stops. But both Mike
Brown and Jason Kidd have had pretty similar careers with
their success. Mike Brown's terrific head coach. He's coached in
big markets. He's done at all. That's the guy. I
go call it right, I said him and Sam Cassell.
Sam Cassell always has been the next up and coming guy.
(37:39):
Mike Brown and Sam Cassell. Mike Brown, Sam Cassell. What
are reports say today? Hey guess who could be at
the top of the Knicks list. Mike Brown.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
My other guy was up there too though, like they
had the little inset of Taylor Jenkins.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Oh yeah, I hew them. But did you notice did
you notice how small that was relative to everything else
going on in this well, this is out there. I
can't see that. I can't even again make him out.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I should you know James do One should have called
me and said, Jason, what do you think I'm gonna say,
you know what, fifty grand, pay me fifty grand flat fee,
and I'll tell you who to get. Give me an hour,
little consulting fee and your magic eight ball.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
You were ready to go.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I would say, should they reach out to him? Nah,
like you getting because it says ask again later. I
would only say give me an hour because they wanted
to think that I'm doing some kind of crazy stuff
for an hour, and I would just say give me
thirty seconds. Mike Brown, you're playing pay my basketball. You
just pick up paper.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
It works. Now I can tell you who it is.
Go get Mike back, right. I told you that night.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Mike Brown was the guy all this other stuff, calling
around trying to get permission from teams who are going
to say blank you, We're not going to help the
Knicks at all. You just have to hope that the
coach says, oh, no, you're calling my team. I want
to come coach, because then it's a different story. But
so far, everybody the Knicks have reached out to, no
coaches said yes, I want that job. Because the Knicks
has been biffing this search by saying we're calling everybody where.
(38:58):
Nobody feels special. They just feel like you're on a list.
What are you gonna get to me? Oh, it's okay,
the doctor will see you in a moment.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Again.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
At thirty seconds, I would have said, Mike Brown, Mike
Brown is a guy. Here's your backup guy a Sam Cassel.
I know you like Taylor Jenkins and that's fine, but
this he's a guy that's gonna bring you everything. No.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
I like that that you went down, Mike Brown.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
My only question for you was still he can't use
a remote control like you would in that hour before
he called Dolan back to make Brunson or Cat any
better on defense. Uh, we can't attached things to their ankles.
And this is when you come in and.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Cat goes out of town and Giannis or another big
athletic forward comes into.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
You know, the only way comes to down.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
No, no, no, no, it's science.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Stop with that science. Yeah, I got I gotta get
enough that it's science line from Frostburg. Youre gonna give
me a different line than it's science. It's not science. No, no, no, no, no,
I could be did the math I carried the one
