five point nine. Fact, it'stime for the Top four four with Levac
and Goza. One of the fourbiggest stories in the wool Sports. It's

(00:21):
called the Top four four and it'sbrought to you by mohun Were they always
go out of their way to pleaseyou? Goz? What was the four
biggest story? You and I weretexting them out this last night because we
couldn't believe the actual video of whathad happened. We'll talk a little more
baseball in a few minutes here,but it was the video involving Philly STARp,
Rice Harper and what happened during thegame. If you miss this video,

(00:45):
the Mets and Phillies are playing andHarper gets blasted in the face.
No, that is helmet, Ok, I get hit the helmet, Thank
you, thank you. He didget hit the helmet. In my mind,
I thought he got blasted in theface because I'm waiting for a Harper
melt that I told you that.I'm like, how did Harper not melt
down over this? Well today Harperwas a late scratch ahead of that after
game because of a migraine. Youcan put two and two together here,

(01:08):
the two time nationally MVP suffers thatthe fact it was a freak injury.
I think people felt like it wasintentional because the Mets catcher smiling after the
play, But it didn't look intentional. What did you make of everything involving
the Phillies in Mets yesterday and thatfreak play? It was again, it
was it was weird. I mean, we're not far removed from talking about

(01:34):
the you know, the swing ofthe bat for Jad Martinez that that breaks
the catcher's arm was behind him becausehe's reached out too far. And now
we've got a catcher who it wasNavarrees who is like lazily throwing the ball
back like just this lazy like round, like just full stretch arm and dings

(02:00):
right off the side of Harper's head. And it doesn't look like it's that
violent of a hit. But Ithink where it hits, it's close to
the temple. I think it's oneof those things too where you don't know
what's coming mouse open, you takea good shot, you know what I
mean? It's like boom ow,like whatever, and it was laughing at
his ass souff. He's like thisis funny. I'm sorry, man,
I know it didn't hurt. AndHarper is looking at like I want to

(02:22):
punch you, like I want tohit you. Harper stayed composed, which
is a big deal for him,but it was I've never seen that before.
It's so weird, like I've seenguys get hit, or I've seen
guys bounce it back to the picture, or like let's say a guy strikes
out and walks over the plate,gets hit, not arm back, firing
it back to the picture and clipsthe front of the helmet. Not only

(02:44):
did Harper finish the game, heended up scoring the game winning run in
that game played today. Yeah,sorry, I you know, that's not
why I stayed away from the catcherbecause I saw the clip and I'm like,
I know those guys rotate ketchers,Like all right, come on,
sorry, five for the final thanthat when Philly takes down New York.
Let's swing it over to story numberthree, because we do have afternoon action

(03:06):
involving the Mets and the Phillies thathas gone final for nothing. The final
score Philly takes down New York.Philadelphia continues to be one of the best
teams in Major League Baseball, evenwithout Bryce Harper in the lineup. It's
Aaron Nola getting the win, oneof the best arms still in baseball.
The Phillies continue to do that.The Mets much tighter in yesterday's game,
getting tested against one of the bestin baseball. Other games of note tonight

(03:28):
include the New York Yankees I thinkthey're gonna take the field yeah, against
the Minnesota Twins seven to forty firstpitch there, Minnesota and New York.
Feels like for so long the Yankeeshave had the Twins number. More so
in the postseason. The Baltimore Orioles, the team they're gonna be battling with
the top of the AL East.They take on an al least phone,
the Toronto Blue Jays. That's atsix point thirty five first pitch in that

(03:50):
matchup. Cubs in braves should beinteresting there, Rangers and guardians of the
top teams in the American League andmore. Back, let's talk about this
Yankees Twins matchup. Is that thestoryline that jumps out to you how often
over the past decade the Yankees havehad the twins number, or is it
something else in this series? Ithink it's I think it's people like you

(04:12):
who are trying to underrate the Yankeesand how good they are this year.
You think that's you people, Carloswrote down on the Mound Holmes coming out
of the out of the dugout bythe way two. Two Yankee stars moving
up in rehab. Jason Diminge isbeginning full rehab, Tommy Cayley stepping up
a division. Imagine we get theMartian and the and the old big old

(04:36):
TK back. Huh k gun.Come on, we're only getting better,
baby. Get on board now,guys, you're gonna filled the overachieving Orioles
right now. Jump on board.Yankee universe man, come on, Evil
Empire, come on. I'm rootingfor Tommy Kinley, the local connection,

(04:58):
of course. So I hope TKso drives a black widow silver Oad,
or at least you used to.Yes, he did. I found that
out when I showed up when youwere interviewing him behind my back and didn't
tell me about it. Some ofthose parts of that story or edited.
Some of it is true. True. The Yankees right now lead the American
League in total wins this season yetsit in second place, which is one
of those odd early baseball stants.To look at Minnesota. I mean,

(05:23):
how many times are gonna do thisin Minnesota? The Minnesota is one of
the best teams in the AL Centralwhen it comes to the postseason, I
don't have enough pitching. Joe Mower'sgoing to the Hall of Fame at some
point this summer. It doesn't haveto do with anything, but that's how
long it's been. No, he'sgoing in. He really is. Yeah,
ticket Joe Mauer was one of thosetwo sport athletes. Here's the number
one quarterback prospect in the country.I believe he had verbally committed to play

(05:46):
at Florida State for Bobby Bowden andthen backed out at the end when he's
the number one pick. When yousee the money, if you had the
choice, if you were Kyler Murrayor you know, Bo Jackson or this,
you know whatever, Omauer, yousee the money, what would you
rather play baseball or professional football?Ooh? I would go with football because

(06:13):
a lot of first round draft picksdon't get to the top level, like
there are guys who can get likea four or five million dollar contract.
It's a first round pick and neversniff the majors. So I think,
just because of the math would bein my favor, I would go with
football. And to add to that, sometimes you can stink as a first
round pick and still get signed toanother team. Mac Jones, Zach Wilson
Lance, not with fully guaranteed moneylike you do in baseball. If you

(06:38):
can get to that second contract,which isn't what you asked me, and
I can't do that, I wouldgo with football. I'll go football,
right. Kyler Murray did, JoeMaher didn't Let's move on story number two?
Yes he did. Let's move andDean did? Yeah? There?
But else I miss Brian L.Jordan remember him? Yep? I think

(06:58):
that might be it. Michael Westbrookdid football and Mick Martial arts, Greg
Hardy, what about Jim Thorpe,all of it? You know who covered
Jim Thorpe when he was in hisprime? No, Roger Island huh storied
career. Wasn't that like something?I haven't done that joking a lot,

(07:19):
I know I used to do whenwe work together. Just was sitting over
the plane. I just saw itcoming. I'm not allowed to talk about
it. I love him. He'sa good man. He's he's We're gonna
move on to story number two nowthat I got weird. Uh, let's
tack hockey Bruins Panthers today. Bruinfan, why is it happening again?
You're down three to one in thisYou're better than Florida, not record wise,

(07:40):
per se, but you are tobe better. Boston could be done
tonight if they lose to the Panthers. The nightcap features the Canucks and the
Oilers. Vancouver's trying to have nicethings. Connor McDavid, best player arguably
in the NHL. Vancouver can goup three to one, but instead,
rather than the Canucks getting closer andcloser to a Stanley Cup, news breaks
today that a new thirty for thirty, which it feels like forever one of

(08:01):
those has come out, a newthirty for thirty is being worked one,
according to social media rumors, Ihave to do that a lot today about
the Riots after the twenty eleven StanleyCup. So that's that's out there,
Knuck fan probably don't want to seethat be a real thing. Oh well,
vac, I think we gotta flipback though, to last night,
the Rangers had not oppert I mean, we don't have to, and the
Rangers had an opportunity last night topunch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals

(08:24):
with the three games to non lead. Instead, it's Carolina taken down New
York and Madison Square Garden. Iknow we're gonna talk about another New York
team coming up here in a fewminutes, But you're not concerned yet about
the Rangers, right, No,But I mean that was a concerning effort
or lack thereof. Like I've beenactually making the effort to watch the playoffs,

(08:45):
like I usually really dial in duringthe actual cup, like when they're
playing for the finals. But I'mmaking the after all, I feel like
my effort to watch last night's gamewas more significant than the effort I saw
the Rangers put on the ice lastnight. That this seems like a very
cheap comparison to easey of a comparison, but I think it's really true.

(09:05):
The end of that Ranger Hurricane gamefelt like what Knicks games have felt like
this season in the opposite way,in the sense that Carolina represented the Knicks,
that Carolina was better late in thatgame, it looked like they were
going at a different pace than theRangers. Carolina knew their season was on
the line. All the cliches youwant, but it felt true in that
third period. While the Knicks havebeen so good in the fourth quarter and

(09:26):
so good in the second half,and now there might be other things to
talk about storyline wise, as wemove on to story number one. It's
two games in the NBA tonight,the Timberwolves and Nuggets. Game five should
be one of the I'll say thisback, one of the best games of
the NBA Playoffs coming tonight involving TimberwolvesNuggets. That series has been very entertaining.
Game five tonight in Denver and theKnicks take on the Pacers. You

(09:46):
can hear all the action on yourhome for New York Nick Basketball here in
the Capitol region, Fox Sports ninetyfive nine at nine eighty. Our coverage
tonight gets underway at eight o'clock.Yeah, I mean, you know,
we just talked about the lack ofeffort from the Rangers. I mean,
obviously we need to talk a littlebit more about the Knicks than just right

(10:09):
here. But if you're asking mylevel of concern for this evening, what's
the scale you wanted on, likeone to ten? Man, I'm probably
uh probably living about seven and ahalf right now. I am I'm not
I'm not confident. I'm just notconfident. The injuries are piling up,
problems are piling up. I knowyou want to talk more about it.

(10:31):
You want to just get you wantto you wanna, you want to stop
down. You want to tell meabout how much you love your pilot.
Yeah, and then we'll talk nixtLet's do that. Let me let me

Sports Radio. Kids, all right, are you looking at my phone?

(18:03):
Is that? What? What's goingon with you? This is not a
criticism. I'm learning learning as ayoung parent here. So my wife just
texts me. So my son,my oldest, Rex, is in preschool,
but he's the youngest kid in theclass. So he's got another year
of preschool before you go advanced.I would say, so, I think,
I mean, every parent probably thinksabout their kid, how old?
How old is Wes? He's one? He yells Taco Tuesday, he's yeaping

(18:27):
away. I feel like that's fairlyadvanced. So and Rex has been on
that path. So yeah, I'llgo something you guys are doing, you
get smart kids, gotta be druel. That might be true. So,
uh, he's got another year andleft the preschool. So my wife just
texted me and said, hey,don't forget Rex has graduation next month.
I said, from what she goesfrom preschool, I go, he's not

(18:48):
graduating. She goes, yeah,but the whole class is doing a graduate
Like, no, that's not whata buzz kill though. Can you imagine,
like you imagine if you're in highschool, like, hey, come
on to your graduation. You're like, walk across can stuff. We're like,
yeah, I'm never coming back.No, no, you stuff come
back. Everybody else is graduatings.We brought you, We let you walkas
like my class make Carl Klein myfirst day senior year, Principal Gottlieb got

(19:10):
out there and said, welcome seniorclass, Carl. Good to see you
again. But I just I'm confused, like is this a thing, Like
he's not graduating, but I thinkthey don't want him to feel bad because
him and the other kids aren't becausethey had another so kids. Yeah,
they're confusing me. Every day Ithought he had another year. He does
well, It's like yeah, Imean everyone can trophy. Yeah, we

(19:33):
go so far to protect everyone's feelings. But at the same time, like
if if Rex watched everyone else doit and then when it's my turn next
year, doesn't that like build thesuspense and anticipation. I guess. So
I'm not even criticized and hope peopleare like, oh god, I rip
the preschool. I just didn't know. I didn't know a little bit,
I am, but yeah, Iremember too. Like it's like I remember

(19:59):
when I was diagnosed with ADHD asa child. Oh I'm kidding. I
was told to sit down and shutthe bleep up and hit with a book.
He was. It was a paperbackbook. So it wasn't that bad.
Different. It was a little different. It was a little different.
So, like, you know,there was a lot of moving up ceremonies
and things like that. It was. It was a lot more of a
sit down and shut up ceremony.I remember. I remember the first teacher

(20:22):
who realized that I was dyslexic.That was in sixth grade. Before that,
it was why are you so stupid? Uh? It was a little
different. It was a little different. God, it was a little different.
He was interesting. I mean,it was an average teacher. But
there was a mix. There wasa good mix of of trying to help
and completely frustrated by by me.Yeah you know, I admit it's still

(20:48):
happening. Actually no, it wassee might see again. So you're at
the you're at the toddler challenge.I'm at the uh graduating or working her
way through college challenge. So soI get she works so hard for the
first year in nursing to get throughthat everything, and she's like, do

(21:11):
you want to go out and celebrateit, you know if I passed,
and she was kind of nervous thatshe wasn't gonna pay whatever. I'm like,
absolutely one hundred scent, but likeit just had timing hasn't allowed for
it to happen. So now it'sbeen like a week, week and a
half and we still haven't celebrated that. She that she you know, made
it to nursing too. I thinkit's called whatever comes after one. And

(21:33):
so I just I text her todayand I'm like, hey, you know,
we still haven't celebrated you know whatever, and she's like, yeah,
I really like that new Kindle,but you have a kid. I bought
you were Kindle already. So Iliterally sit there, I'm like, what
does the new Kindle do that theold Kindle didn't do? They're they're they're
fake books, is what they are? Like, does your old Kindle not

(21:55):
download books anymore? Text this toher. Here's my idea because I have
to pay two bets still on theshow. I have to take her and
close her out an arcade game,and I owe you a trip under the
orange roof. So maybe she'll biteon one of those two offers from me,
and I'll help you out for thekindle, tell her, tell her
the kindle. Those those replace akindle. I just would you rather have

(22:18):
gods take you out of a kindle? Be like the kindle? Why did
you ask? Do you realize likethe I'm doing okay in life at the
moment, you know what I mean, I'm doing. I'm doing fairly well,
probably best best I've ever done financially. And that's not it's not really
saying a lot. I never sendradio for twenty five years. So I
was looking for a mini fridge andI, you know, one of the

(22:40):
sponsors of the Firebirds, Marcelle's applies, So I'm like, hey, you
know, I'd rather work with youguys, that's whatever. And you know,
and they've i know, they listento the show. Maybe they'll become
part of the show at some point. So they go, oh, yeah,
you want a mini fridge that wegot. Here's here's the So you
send me like all like all thesecool ones. I go, I really
want some kind of retro se meone. I'm like, that's the one.
I want that one I'm thinking thingsover three hundred bucks. I paid

(23:04):
five hundred for my real fridge.But it's so cool, I'm gonna do
it. But it all right,alright, do it. Never thought in
a million years I would pay threehundred dollars for a mini fridge from my
office. But like, I justso now, like and now in the
guilt in my head that I didthat. So then I have to go
get her a new damn kendle.Isn't that what the pin straight parley is?

(23:26):
They're hitting the vac the Knicks kickersare hitting. You're having a little
good problem season. Yeah, here'sthe problem. I'm gonna have to bet
against the Knicks at this point withthe injuries and everything. What I mean
this is, this is a frighteningtime. It's scary time, right if
you're a Knicks fan, because theyare not. They are no longer favored
to win the series. They areno longer the favorites to beat the Indiana

(23:52):
Pacers. It is now the Pacerswho are the favorites. How about that
Knicks are favored to win tonight slightly, But the series is now swung to
where the the shops think as thoughthe Pacers are gonna beat the Knicks and
move on to face most likely theCeltics. It's because of injuries. It's

(24:15):
because of the most recent game forperformance by New York of any game so
far. I'm talking a while lateFebruary to three months. Basically, I
haven't felt this lacking of confidence ina Nick game in about three months.
Like this does not feel good.Even the point and a half spread that

(24:37):
the Knicks are currently favored by,I would feel like, and I know
the play of the day's coming upin twenty five minutes. That feels like
a trap number, Like are youreally gonna wager Nicks favored after the performance?
If anything is, someone's gonna belike, wait a second, why
are they favored? Something doesn't feelright here. That line tells me to
run away from the game and justenjoy listening to Monica McNutt and crew tonight
on Fox Sports ninety five nine nineeighty. But what would tell me that

(25:00):
they would improve against Indiana? Like, well, guys, what if I
told you Ognobi is out, He'sout for the game? Oh, he's
out. So Mitchell Robinson had surgery, so he's been out doubled down over
the season Bojon out of the season, Randall out of the season. Dwayne
Washington Junior out for the game.Yeah, a little banged up, Dwayne

(25:23):
Washington Junior. Yeah, point guard. The Syracuse fan and me thought about
New York City and Pearl Washington there, Ohio State's own twenty four years old,
Dwayne Washington Junior. I hate this. I'm I hate this. Is

(25:44):
get you ready, guys, You'reready to really love your life tonight.
I must win for the Knicks.Oh gosh, Levac, come on series
tied to too? You win tonight? You still have why is series started
listening again? Calm down? Whoever'slistening to me. Somebody's like Corey and

(26:04):
Green which has set to like recordme? Then must win? Ah to
two? You win, you holdhome court advantage. Maybe, just maybe
you get og in and I'll beback in a game or two. Maybe
is it a muscle? If youlose this game? You're down three to
two, and now that now thePacers have a home home court advantage.

(26:26):
I know we had fun with thatand we just joke around about that,
But honestly, if I have toanswer your question, this is toast.
If the Knicks don't win tonight.The lack of confidence I have in the
Knicks right now multiplies by two orthreefold in Indiana. And they've lost two
straight in Indiana. So yeah,I wouldn't feel good about the Knicks all
the things Like we've talked about theKnicks of the season about like, hey,

(26:47):
they finished games great in the fourthquarter. Well, the bench isn't
deep enough. That was a concernwe talked about back in March. But
the difference was the concern of thebench is that, well, you had
nine or ten guys. Now youcan't even blame the bench because they weren't
equipped for this. You can't gosign an og Randal and Mitchell Robinson out
of the G League right now.Like it's not eything. Tom Thibodeaux,

(27:08):
I would saint it wrong. Ohwe go. Some Knicks fans would say,
no, no, you don't believethat guy's you caught yourself. You're
trying to be nice. You wereon the high road and you look down.
You wait, wait, that's whereI want to be. Take the
low road, random into the dirtand no energy left. Wait to get
him, go low road. Justtake it to him. If Jalen Brunson
is able to do this tonight.And I didn't even say the Knicks.

(27:29):
I made sure it didn't say thatif Jalen Brunson's gotta drop forty? Is
this like Lebron and the Calves andthat Warrior series when Kyrie and Kevin Love
was hurt and Matthew del Vodova wastalking about his option. Are we at
that point here with the Knicks wherethere's nothing left out there and they're just
let me ask you this, okay, because Hart and Steen is playing.
Is it drop forty or is ittake every single possession to like one second

(27:59):
on the play clock for you beforeyou put it in jock clock all high
school non shot clock style. Youknow, you know the pacers want to
run, and so far you've triedto run with them, and you did
really good the first two games ofrunning with them. You know, is
this slow it down? Try todrag this thing into like the the one
hundred and one to ten range insteadof the one twenty five range. Yes,

(28:23):
if you go lower, you gota better. Absolutely, if you
if you had a wager on anythingin this game, it would be the
underplay. If you want to touchit at all, it'd be the underplay
of how that hits now, addingto potentially what's the game plan here?
They are good enough shooting team theKnicks. Dante DiVincenzo can get hot.
That's what you have to hope for. That's right, Like Jalen Brunson has

(28:47):
to get hot. Josh Hart's numbers, I think guy, But like after
that, like, hey, ifDante DiVincenzo hits eight threes and Brunson goes
for forty, I think the Knicksgot a chance tonight, that's not that's
right. I hope I'm wrong.I read on this game. I'm telling
you, I hope we come backtomorrow. We leave the show. And
this is one of these classic thingsin sports where the storyline didn't reflect the

(29:08):
outcome. In the NBA playoffs canbe like the NFL is the king of
this. Like a lot of peoplemade wagers, like never wager the storyline,
never think like this is why peoplewant you to wager on games,
because we all saw what happened inGame four. But there's just not enough
horses left. Someone's got to havethe game of their life tonight. Like
Devincenzo and Brunton have been guys whohave helped with this team. Josh Hart's

(29:30):
been playing out who else Like MilesMcBride's gonna have the game of his life
tonight. The big sneeze somebody elseAnd I don't know if that person's capable
of it. I have to seeit happen to believe it. And by
the way, the TJ McConnell lookslike he just he just is. He
knows exactly how to frustrate Brunton,like he looks like I know that it's
all about Tyrese Haliburton, who's hurtand may or may not play and is

(29:53):
a dork, a nerd, butsoon is. TJ McConnell's on that court.
Jalen Brunt looks frustrated like it's justthe second steps on the courts,
like something's wrong. A great McConnell'sout here again, like it's just man
it it feels wrong right now.Obi Topping looks the best. He's probably

(30:15):
loved Pascal Siakam without without having thebigs out there to stop like Hartenstein is
not a not a big stopper.It's gonna come down to what you uh
would have been? O G wouldhave definitely been Mitchell Robinson. I I
don't want to. Huh. Somebodyjust sent me a thing. Somebody asked
Alan Han today if it was themust win for the Knicks, stealing our

(30:37):
storylines, what the hell let's go, Johanna a way better answer. You
know, I don't think you probablyrolled his eyes like you know I just
did. But I do believe it. I do believe if the Knicks win
tonight, I believe they will winthis series. And I'm starting to lean
towards your it's in seven. Ifthey lose tonight, I don't know if
they can win back to back.I don't know if they went on any

(31:00):
of his floor right now as presentlyconstructed, Like if you tell me,
hey, one more game and youget a ninety five percent OG and Anobie
back. Okay, now it's different. Now I'm cocky. Now I'm a
little arrogant. You ever played Jingaas a kid? Of course I did,
right, everybody played Jinga. Thisis the Jinga game where it's like,

(31:22):
Okay, we're gonna take a pieceout. Julius Randall's hurt, Okay,
here's another piece. OG's hurt.Mitchell Robinson's done, Okay, we're
still up. Dante Vivencenzo's cold fromthe field. Jinga, how about how
about how about Brunson's banged up andjust looked right? Dinga, this is
it. Just keep pulling the piecescrumbles. Loo back. Let me do
this, if you don't mind,I'm gonna call an audible here a little.

course it is brought to you byour good friends and Mohawks Chevrolet. So

(39:51):
you gotther let's drive at Mohawk Chevywhere they always go out of their way
to please you. Uh, Levac. I have to give credit here because
I love when this happens. Itdoesn't happen as all said, like when
people start sharing wagering stories with uson social media and we want to give
them credit, especially on the Playof the day. Shout out to Jack
and dr who shared this story withus today. About have you heard about

(40:12):
this guy the one point seven milliondollar Thunder fan? Have you heard about
this guy? No? So,there's a guy who's been going viral over
the past few months. He's builta nice social media following. His name
is Wayne and he's an Oklahoma CityThunder fan. A few months ago,
Wayne dropped one hundred dollars future wageron this the Kansas City Chiefs to win

(40:35):
the Super Bowl, the Texas Rangersto win the World Series, and the
Oklahoma City Thunder to win the NBAChampionship. You do the math there.
Quickly, the Chiefs won the SuperBowl, the Rangers won the World Series.
He dropped this bet on May twentyfirst, twenty twenty three, talking
about a future wager. The oddson that were plus seventeen fourteen to five

(41:02):
hundred. In other words, hewagered one hundred bucks and would have cashed
one point seven million dollars. Nowtwo of the three had hit. He
was waiting just in the Thunder lastnight. He finally said enough's enough and
he cashed out for eighty thousand dollars. You mean, how much was the
beat originally one hundred. That's that'sa spice. Now some people are looking

(41:28):
at him saying, come on,man, the Thunder because the Mavericks shot
free throws like they were a cyoteam last night twenty three from the line
in Oklahoma City. Because of theembarrassing effort in the line by the MAVs
one, one hundred and ninety six. They tied up the series. They
were in a good position to thenumber one seed Leavac. What do you
make of this guy cashing out ateighty k after the Thunder tied up and

(41:49):
not letting that baby ride. Ohit's I mean it's eighty eighty man.
That single dad, by the way, he wanted to mention single dad.
Let's so this might there might betwo reasons for this. Yeah. One,
hey, eighty grand, that's alot of freaking money. I would

(42:10):
probably bite. I would probably biteon that. I'd probably bite a lot
sooner for being perfectly honest. Andthen you can hatch too. You always
throw like ten to fifteen grand onokay, see to win it all if
you really want to do it.But what if he's gonna give half to
the mom? You know? Goodpoint? So this is great now because

(42:30):
now, okay, see wins youYou could have handed me half a million
dollars and he goes, yeah,you know, your forty grand loser.
You root against the Thunder now,right, even though you're an Oklahoma City
fan. Yeah, unless unless youhatch, Unless you throw it, maybe

(42:51):
throw twenty grand on him, youknow, it's always everyone knows this and
we all get this, but likethis is the worst part to being in
the bet because like let's say theThunder to the conference finals, then the
hedge is a little easier because youknow, okay, you got three teams.
Like when you get to the finals, it's the easiest of the hedge.
You only got two options left.Then you can really figure out the
map. It's a little bit mathwise more difficult with eight. I understand

(43:14):
your point. The odds are stillin your favorite catch and anyway you're gonna
find the profit. You're good.Just he's taking a lot of criticism today
of one point seven million on theline and he took the eighty k.
And thank you to Jack and Drwho I want to make sure you get
their comments. Shout out to thembecause they said two nice things about them.
Here's what they said. Jack said, Hey, this is great for
this guy, really rooting for him, happy for him. Dr wrote easy

(43:37):
decision at Tom Guys to MgO iseasy. Underneath the video, wrote quitter
sad Tom Guys sounds familiar. You'rehear the joke about the the guy finds
a genie. Genie comes out.He goes, you're a genie. I
get, I get three wishes.He goes, yes, but whatever I

(44:00):
grant for you, your greatest enemygets twice as much, so you save
himself. He's like, man,so whatever I get, my ex wife
gets two. He's all right,I want a million dollars. Okay,
here's a million dollars. But yourex wife just got too many dollars because
I want a mansion, you know, on on the water. You know,

(44:22):
I like George, but your wifehas two. Yes, I wish
you would beat me half to death. Obviously it's a joke. No no
one should die of. But ofcourse though he gets so set. It's
an old joke, but it's like, that's what I'm thinking. I'm like,
hey, look I gotta give halfnice little How you doing? How
you doing? I got forty grandsto you, but you could have got

(44:44):
more. I'm laughing because that geniejoke could have gone a lot of different
directions. I've heard a lot ofgenie jokes set ups, and I wasn't
quite sure where we were going there. It's an old old joke. Don't
don't google those kids. There's likedifferent punch lines for the do it just
as soon as you your parents areon the computer. All right, So
what's your play today? I can'tstand my play that I don't like any

(45:05):
NBA game. I think both thosegames are gonna be very tough to wag
drawn. I'm taking a week play. I'm taking a nine to forty tonight
Rockies Padres. I'm taking the Rockiesat plus two forty, hoping for an
Inner Division upset on the road.Give me a plus two forty late night
Baseball play Rockies over Padres. I'mgonna, uh, I'm gonna do something

(45:30):
I don't normally do. I'm gonnafirst, I'm gonna tell you that the
my version of the one point sevenmillion dollars eighty thousand dollars bet is Struggling
Nicks, Rangers, Yankees all towin it All. It was eighteen dollars
in change to win forty eight thousand. It is currently an eleven dollars and
thirty two cents on the cash out. A good, A good, Let

(45:52):
it ride the back. Yes,tonight, it's a big night. I
am so nervous and stressed out aboutthis game that I'm not betting tonight.
Pass. I'm passing. You wantto get on the Rockies bet with me.
I'm not making a bet. Imean, I was gonna do a
pinstrip parlay, but I am.I am so nervous about this next team.

(46:20):
And of course Corey did hit meup with the is it a must
winner? I have to win?And anybody does an old school dude called
and goes it's not a must win, but it's a half to win,
as if there was a distinction.I just can't. I don't want a
wager. I'm not gonna pay attentionto any other wager. I'm gonna be
watching the next night on the edgeof my seat. I'm gonna be turning

(46:42):
it off, walking out of theroom, coming back, turning back on.
I'm like, I've ordered a sub, like I'm I'm not cooking.
I'm sitting down as soon as Iget home tonight, but leave here.
What six, A little after six, I get out of the building,
pick up the sub on the wayhome. A couple of sodas, maybe
a couple of adult sodas. Youknow what I'm saying, some babin.

(47:02):
Maybe it's a cigar night, youknow. Maybe I'm out back listening to
the Knicks right here on Fox.Sports Radio. I I'm I'm in this
game. This is my season.I feel like this is my season as
Knicks man right now. Enjoy it. Try to try to enjoy it.
They'll be stressful, it'll be tough, but try to enjoy. Listen to

(47:22):
it right here. Maybe it's abeautiful day in the Capitol region, the
vact. Maybe this is a cigaroutside. I know that's usually kept for
the Yankees. This could be thatnight. No, the Yankees, you
know they could be worthy of it. I will say this, You probably
want to watch my Twitter because there'sa chance I just go bleep this and
throw money on it at the Cheflevat. Yeah, I just I again,

(47:43):
I'm just so into this game likethis, this feels like an underdog game.
Big. I know they're favored bya point and a half, but
we just went over all the thingsthat are wrong with the Necks right now.
Like there, you've got some startersout there, but you don't have
all your starters. Like you said, Julius Randalls is not gonna be out
there. Oh, Gnoby's not gonnabe out there. Those are two dudes

(48:05):
that you add those to the Villanovathree or you rest heart or you,
you know whatever. You put Hartensteinout there too, like you, the
options become limitless if you're actually healthy, Mitchell Robinson out there to play defense,
all these things, I'm I'm dialedin. I'm nervous. I'm like

(48:25):
sweating right now. And that's notjust because I'm fat. It's part of
it, added into the equation.But it's not the only reason that I'm
like that right now. All right, let me ask you. Let me
did you see the Cavs game thelast Boston? Yes? I did.
Did you see the introduction and welcomethat lebron James got very odd? Right?

(48:49):
Windhorses little sausage fingers went in thegirl already and said, why is
that? He noted that the lasttime Lebron had gone to a game like
this, there was some movement forwhat team. Even as Brian Wayne Horse
likes to say, I don't givehim credit, everything is calculated with Lebron.
The rumors are already starting that maybehis final season with Bronnie James could
be in Cleveland. Well, Imean, if that's that's the thing is,

(49:12):
Cleveland's got a lot of talent.Could they burn in a second round
pick. I'm Bronni Brinny James Diobring back Lebron So I thought you were
just gonna go off because I was. I'm like, dude, if I
was, if I'm playing for thatteam right now, I'm like, you
better be recruiting him, because that'she ain't been here in a while.
Cleveland played so hard last night.There were moments they got that lead down

(49:34):
to two possessions without Donovan Mitchell.Gosh, I can't stand Boston like I
So we can talk about this moretomorrow too, And I know we can
do an hour number three. Dependon hour our three shakes out here.
I know we got coach where comingup the dump and there's my phones lighten
up about a certain story involving aFox Sports radio host not named Colin Cowhard.
But Boston is so hard to rootfor. They're so deep, like

(49:55):
Jason Dimm's not making the big shots, Jalleen Brown's not making the big They're
kind of co because the matchups havebeen easy. Gosh, I hope New
York gets them in the conference on. I feel more confident in New York
taking down Boston even with the Nickroster, meaning it is what it is
right now and the boring Celtics,not the Boston so they're boring. I
don't like them at all. Imean you knew that. Though I've never

(50:15):
liked them, I never will likethem. Do they put you to sleep?
There? I say, dude,I gotta tell you. That might
be that might be the answer.That might be the answer. A little
little uh you know, mouthpiece forIntegrative Sleep Center and some Celtics air quote
action. That could be. Thatcould be the curity insomnia right there.
I have what is known as obstructivesleep apnea. If you had ask me
what that meant a couple of yearsago, I would have been like,

(50:37):
I don't know, I don't care. I sleep, I don't care.
You're not really sleeping. You neverget deep sleep because your snoring is is
ruining your sleep. It's ruining youryou know, your roommates sleep, if
you know what I'm saying. Andalso if you stop breathing your sleep like
I used to, that's bad foreverything. They even they're even linking it
to a rectile dysfunction. What Yeah, that's right. You can't even e

(51:00):
wrec legos anymore. If you havea disruptive sleep, obstructive sleep Avenue.
That's not what that means you surewill you explain it to me later?
All right, well, listen,whatever it means, you want to go
to doctor Fredreier and the Integrative SleepCenter and Bosses Spa. All joking aside.
The simplest solution. It's a mouthpiececustom made for you. Keep your
airway open, no hoses, nowires, no mass, no surgery,
