Speaker 1 (00:06):
You to your life from Philly and also the hockey

Polly foolsco.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, not exactly here with Tony.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Tony.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
You know, I got on a plane right after the
Stanley Cup when I smooth straight down the Florida to
be a part of the action. Because you know, we
do for you the view of the listener.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
We take you to the heart of the action, you know,
and we get you on location because you know, in
the news business, Tony, there's nothing more impressive than being
on location. Here I is in Florida, as you can
see the water behind me, the beach.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Now, there was a little confusion at the airport.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I was so excited to just get on the plane
and go. I was supposed to go to Fort Lauderdale.
I actually went to Fort Myers by accident.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Ye, it's all Florida because the Florida pantns where Florida
is fine. Here I am in Fort Myers, you.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Know, beautiful Fort Myers on the beach, Tony, where I'm
gonna be going up to people, you know I'm out here.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
They're surely celebrating their states.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Stanley Cup victory back to back, Stanley Cuff's here in
the heart of hockey world.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
You can just feel it there. It just says hockey.
It just going up to all the people up there.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
I'm gonna be asking them because you know they're up
here celebrating out on the beach, celebrating that. The celebrating
the Cup victory is.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Because you know, Florida just the true hockey state.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
You know, you can feel it. The temperature in the
air may be hot, but it's the hot down It's
a hot down there.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
It is a hockey state, county state.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
But you know, before we get into all that, Tony
a lot to get.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Doing the nose. We got to do that too.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
For you the viewer, You're wondering what our takes are
on all the top stories. So let's get right into
it with our top story story.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
All right, first count the game.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
We gotta talk about what's been going on in these
NBA Finals. You know, not on the court because nobody
cares about dolls, but you know next to the court
where Steven A. Smith was caught on camera right during
the middle of a game played Solidaire on his phone. Now,
in his defense, this is the thunder Facers series, so
you know everybody's born. Yeah, totally fair. But Tonny, that
doesn't mean we still had a little beat with what

(02:22):
he was doing. I didn't your one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
You know, I think the bigger problem is that he
was playing Solitaire. What is this nineteen ninety four? Was
he using Windows ninety two? You know, there's so many
Betty games that he could have been playing, you know
this Candy Crush, Snake Clash, Wolfenstein three D. You know,
it really makes me question what he's thinking and his choices.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
They go, Tony, just great points all around that. You know,
why would talk at basketball?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
We got to talk about what's going on in the WNBA.
I mean you see these fights, Caitlyn are getting into fights.
I mean not you know, here we are in the
middle of the NBA finals, and somehow the WNBA is
more interesting.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's crazy, Donald.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
You know, I honestly can't believe these words are coming
out of my mouth, but I think women's basketball is
now way better than men's basketball. There's fighting, concussions, hair pulling,
everything that the game should be about. In fact, I
think we should start calling the WNBA, the NBA and

(03:29):
the NBA. The WNBA and the w then should stand
for week. You know, I mean, look at the player's bodies.
The women are now stronger than the men. I bet
Brittany Griner could bench press Tyrese Halliburton.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Right fink, Donnie. You know talking about Halliburton, you see
this news. You know he's injured, got something with his leg,
his foot. You know what I think. I think his
foot just fell asleep.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
You know, I think the foot was just so bored
during this finals, it just it just went to bed.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, you know, which makes perfect sense because his foot
is technically a viewer of the finals, so naturally it
would fall asleep, just like all the viewers who are
watching the game.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Great point that, Dony, though, And you know there's something
that's not been sitting right with either of us. There
is something very suspicious about these pacers in these NBA finals.
You want a theory the other day, one of those
theories tell the people.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
You know, I don't want to sound like one of
these whack jobs that has all these crackpot theories, but
did anyone think that the NBA, in collusion with the
United States government placed Tyrese Halliburton in the finals so
he could advertise for Halliburton the war company.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
You know that way. People are already rooting for Halliburton.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
So when Halliburton the Company, you know, bombs Iran, everyone's like, yeah, good,
you know, just saying it makes a lot of sense
when you connect the dots and think about it.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
It does, Tony.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
But you know, I got some music coming over here.
You know, these people they set up.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
To celebrate in this celebrate in because we're going to
be moving down the beach, Tony, We're gonna be relocated. Yeah,
you know, you know, normally we would tell them to
shut the UFA.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
We're doing the celebration. You know, exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay, Tony, I relocated away from the celebration.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
But you always dime anyway. Natural break in the show.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
We were going on too long about the NBA Finals.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Should have got the thirty seconds. You know it's ratings
by league. Yeah, you know, I could see the viewers
were dropping real fastigure.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, don't worry people, We're not going to move on
to another subject Baseball, which you know isn't much better,
but the rating, let's get that. Well, we're going to
talk about show Aodannie. You know, you see this. His interpreter,
Ee Masuhara, was just sentenced to fifty seven months in
prison for stealing seventeen million dollars from Odannie to place bets.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
But Tony, you know, you gotta let this guy give
him a free pass. I mean, you didn't do that
much wrong in Ali.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
You know, this is just the thing that the media
does negatively spinning things. You know, some people say Ipe
lost a lot of money for Otani, But did you
ever stop to think that Ibe thought he was betting
yen and.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Not US dollars.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Sure, he lost seventeen million dollars, but he probably thought
he lost seventeen million yen, which is the equivalent of
like nine dollars. So this is just a clear misunderstanding.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Helpful perspective that DONI.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
And you know, while we're talking about o'donni, you know
he took the mound for the first time as a Dodger,
also for the first time in two years since he
had Tommy John surgery. Now that was a mistake, right,
There wasn't a Doner.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, you know, Tommy John wasn't really that great a picture.
Wouldn't it have been better to undergo, you know, like
Clayton Kershaw surgery, or Sandy Cofax surgery or even Fernando
Vellensuelas surgery. Yep, just a total missed by the Dodgers
medical staff.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Couldn't agree more, DONI And you know a lot of
people they're excited to see O'donni pitch and hit. But
I think that's just sending totally the wrong message, don't you, Dony.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know, if there's one thing I'm against, it's position fluidity.
I think players should pick either offense or defense. You know,
you can't be both. It's too confusing, especially for little
kids watching. I mean, how is a dad supposed to
explain to his kid that Otani is both a.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Pitcher and a hitter. That's too much for a kid
to understand. You can't be at the top and the
bottom of the inning.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
You know, either you're taking or you're giving.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
You know, I think we need to stop all this
position confusion.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
So well said that, Dony, And well you know why
we're talking pitches.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Some sad news.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
We have to report, of course, we lost one of
the great figures of the game, Brian Wilson for a
giant dead, Tony.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Your thoughts, Well, you know, there's so much to say
about him. You know, the beard, you know the arm,
you know, just so sad to lose a man at
forty three, you know, the prime of his life. You know,
not for a baseball player, you know he was too
old for that. But you know, hold on, hold what?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh what was going on? What what?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Brian Wilson? The picture is alive, but it's the singer
who died. But who who You've never heard of? Brian
Wilson started the Beach Boys, one of the most important
bands in music history. How do you not know this?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, you know what? You don't know what a vagina
looks like.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, the closest thing you've ever seen to a vagina
is Brian Wilson's Harry Beard.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Fat. Okay, look, we got other news to get through this.
In the NFL.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
You see this dony Antonio Brown charged with attempted murder.
But now he's been hiding out in the Middle East,
which a lot of people say means he's avoiding arrest.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
But Tony, what are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 3 (09:16):
You know a lot of people are banshing Antonio Brown,
But what's the number one thing we value in a
receiver escapeability exactly. And nobody was better at escaping coverage
or a corporal punishment than Antonio Brown.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
This just proves he's still at the top of his game.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Terrific analysis, DONI. In fact, I've been told by many
people inside the league that since Antonio Brown has started
avoiding these arrests, he's now become a top target for
many NFL games, haven't you heard that?

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Absolutely, according to my sources, Antonio Brown is being heavily
pursued by the Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, and
the San Quentin Correctional Facility Recreational League.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Great inside reporting, Tony.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
And now on the subject of inside reporting, as you
can see again, I'm here in beautiful Florida, sure, Fort Myers,
which happens to be about three and a half hours
away from Fort Lauderdale, which is about thirty minutes from
where Miami, where the team actually plays.
