(00:44):
born in the two thousands, Imean, that's that's just me. It
means me. I mean, youknow, because I act like I was
born in the two thousands. Youdon't, you didn't get you didn't learn
everything you know right now in yourlast wait, what are you thirty three
thirty four, thirty four, what'dyou learn everything last like fourteen years,

(01:07):
last ten years. Now when youlearned everything just the last time working with
me? That makes sense. Idon't know what you know? Now?
Why was my joke taking so deep? And I want to just just ch
I didn't argue against it. Welcome, that's a fact. People who talk
about sports here in the afternoon driveborn in the two thousands did choose a

(01:27):
fact? All right? Am Ibeing trolled real quick? Before we talk
about lasts basketball? No? No, no, this is this isn't you
for a change, before we getin the last night's basketball? You put
up because Friday night, Tomorrow night, MVP Arena white out the players coach

(01:48):
where they all decide to have awhiteout. I find out about it last
night, So like me, Igotta you know, I gotta scurry.
I gotta get white shirts made byour friends over at Elevation so I can
have white shirts for people to buy. You found out last night. I
found out last night. You've hada tough week. Man, Do I
need to go get some drinks afterthe show. I'm not a post.
I'm not a post that So sothen I got to order a jacket or

(02:10):
something. I'm gonna talk like afreaking Icebergs. I'm a fat guy,
fat guys in white. It's justI mean, like I just expect to
hear sad music and Rose shoving LeonardoDiCaprio off a door after the boat hits
me in the middle of the arenaand the Memorial Toy weekends. You know,
I can sweat a little bit?Is that white white before at more

(02:31):
Day? Can we can we be? Can we real? They love the
away uniforms and they haven't had achance to wear them yet, so they
were wearing them. They're gonna wearthem. But like I saw, I'm
trying to eat all this stuff done. And then you put up a picture
of what is it from? Likeprecious gemstones? Where the heck it is?
I thought it was power. Itlooks like Kenny full white Cowboys suit
Frings the whole Yes, a ballersixty seven on X, Jeff, you

(02:55):
should run for mayor of Albany inthe next election. And I'm like,
all right, this is gonna beone of those Oh all right, I'm
in. You don't run, Fattylike I thought. You know, I
was ready for that, you know, wait, wait, wait, wait,
okay, go on wait what,there's some long term storytelling going on
here. Do you remember who ballersixty seven X is? No, there's

(03:19):
no X. Okay, well ballersixty seven I could have sworn about a
week or two ago, we hada conversation about people leaving me messages and
someone had wrote, I assume ballersixty seven has an egg as a profile
and has less than five followers.Yeah. They left you a message a
few weeks ago and said, hey, Jeff, I'm curious if you're interested

(03:40):
in a new career path, pleaseDM me for details. And now two
weeks later has said you should runfor mayor, but that you may have
stumbled upon some political burner account thatreally is interested in you running for political
office and they're trying to do itthrough a burner account. So I wrote,

(04:01):
Auburn deserves better, but thank youbecause I you know again, I'm
waiting for the fat joke. Yeah, running right, bro? Have you
seen the current state of the cityneeds the Maga mentality? Think about it.
You have the platform to run on. The city needs the total opposite
of what has run our country inthe past decade, and that is you

(04:23):
put some thought into it. I'mnot smart enough to be a politician.
See the difference between me and politicians. I know I'm not smart enough to
be one. Not only is thatperson not trolling you, they left you
a message two weeks ago and saidthey wanted to talk to you about running
for office. That was the positionthey wanted you to potentially pursue. So
Baller sixty seven, whoever's burner account? That is potentially for a local politician.

(04:46):
We've now called you out on theair and I don't know, I
don't remember that. Yes, lookat the replies. I guarantee you.
About two weeks ago they left youa message saying, please DM me privately,
I'm interested in talking about the nextcareer path for you. It had
to be running for office. Imaginethis is the story we all remember.
I remember May twenty four, theschool boards had just been voted on,

(05:06):
and Levac was being pursued by Bawlersixty seven on Twitter to run for mayor.
I can't listen to VAK and godshere it is. There you go,
Marti insiding Jeff, DM me please, I have your next career path
in mind. Why do I rememberthat? Sad question? I well,

(05:29):
if it it was this one.It would make sense because it would it's
gotta be your It's gotta be kindof a nightmare for you if I was
ever elected in office of any variety. It's sit right there on WGY studio.
Yes, you actually have because youyou have a poly side degree.
So if I was the one whogot into office when you have the poly

(05:49):
side degree, that's gotta that's gottaburn a little. I'm okay with not
running for office. My wife isnow a wife has told me that will
never happen. Was there a timein my life I was very concer considering
the political field to run for office. Absolutely, that's that that ship is
sale. But I would check yourcontract because I believe in most contracts it

(06:09):
says you can't run political office whileyou're employed by iHeartMedia. Oh you haven't
seen mine, have you? Oh? Mine's very different than yours. So
like, do you want I mean, how I feel like I'm being vetted
for office? I will let youknow. Here's here's what my contract is.
And this is one of the reasonsthat I actually do as much as

(06:30):
I joke, I do have agreat deal of respect for UH fellow President
Howard grinder. When they sent methe original contract, it was. It
was a sturdy document to which Iwalked in and put it down in front
of him and said, you guysreally like, I'll sign this, but
it's got to come with money andthis, that and the other thing.

(06:51):
And he went, oh, Iunderstand completely. And he took it and
he started throwing out pages. He'slike, yeah, this doesn't imply to
you. This doesn't apply to you, Robin Williams, doesn't apply to you.
And then we got down to apage we agreed on, we signed
it, we sent it into corporate, they approved it. My contract here

(07:11):
says I cannot go on another radiostation while I work here. That's it.
That's all said. That's it.That's it. So Howard pulled like
a dead poet, Society. Openup the book, children, Levac rip
out the pages. He's like,you will learn nothing in this book.
He said, oh, captain,my captain. He said, I want
you here so bad that I willdo anything short of paying you. And

(07:32):
I said, you know what,at least you're honest. I can respect
it. So yeah, so Icould run for office. I listen,
let's be honest. I'm not runninganywhere I could briskly walk for office.
I don't. I would be terrible, though, I would be terrible.
I have too much of a temper. I have too much of a temper.
This is why you need Baller sixtyseven. XES. There's no X,
there's no X. There's two differentaccounts. No, it's all this

(07:54):
Baller sixty seven and then a bunchof letters. I apologize to mister ball
Yeah, as my campaign manager deservesyour respect, Sir Baller, Baller sixty
seven deserves your respect. I can'tmy new campaign manager. I hope you
never revealed his or her identity thewhole time you're in an office too.
Just he shows up with the eggphotos. It's like a what's that debt?

(08:18):
Punk? Right? Death punk?With the astron helmet. Yeah,
it's actually Spike. It's the mascotfor the for the Firebirds. It's it's
Spike walking in. This had somethingto do with the whiteout at some point
that was I don't even know anymore, Okay, I just yeah, but
I'm i gotta go buy all thatstuff because he commented off of your what

(08:39):
you said you wanted to wear forthe white out. So that's why that's
how that's how baller got Andrew Santilloalso passed along that tweet, thank you
for finding that that's the ninety seconddelay on the playback. He also remembered
mister Baller sixty seven's career pursuit foryou. What do you you guys gonna
be my watergate you were around?He could be Baller sixty seven for all

(09:00):
we know. He works. Ibelieve he works it off. Yeah,
some type of job like that,some high ranking job. Oh, it's
it's uh flattering that Twitter has askedfor your potential. Oh no, I
couldn't do it again. Guys,you've seen me, Hugh. All right,
remember a little while back when oursalesforce didn't correctly identify the name of

(09:24):
this show. Do you want thatin the halls of Albany? Do you
want that? Are they? Uh? Sir? We we ah we we
just we we don't. We don'thave enough money to pay for things.
Come here a second. We'll talkto you about money. Really, explain
to you where money comes from.All right, you this cup on the

(09:46):
corner, shake your candy booty untilit's fall sir. You know I would
I would take a different approach wouldI want that in my local politician?
Probably not. I might be inthe minority. Levec there might be people
listening right now and said, that'swhat all but he needs they need a
Levak to shake things up. Loss. Where is Doug Dowdy right now?

(10:09):
Where is Doug? Can we getsome gy in site? Right? You
know what this is. It's theprequel to idiocricy. This is how it
started. Some fat DJ in upstateNew York got got put in power because
of Baller's sixty seven on X andthe next thing you know, we're all
wearing crocs breaking mountain dew with Terryhe Cruz as our as our president.

(10:30):
That's that's what That's how it goes. Mark is that quick? Mark this
moment, Capitol Region. You werehere for history when Baller sixty seven recruited
Lovac on multiple tweets to run foroffice. We're not making fun of you,
Baller. We were giving you credit. We Levac asked, I remembered
you your pursuit tag this podcast.Remember it in four years. It's a

(10:50):
radio show. Right now, it'sa podcast later four years from now,
when Levac ascends to DC, Whenthirty years from now, when you're having
that mad Max moment where the kidsgo tell us about them. Before,
before times we had running water,and when you dotied, we'd push your
lever and it would go away.And trees and plants and where was weren't

(11:15):

to do that. I'm sitting there, I'm like, I remember when we
did a white out once before,and we had usually the shirts could sell

that. White T shirts don't sellgreat at the arena, we do a
white out. They do, sonow I got to call over. I

(17:29):
the Capitol Regions Sports Fan Fox Sportsninety five, nine and nine eighty.
Celtic's up one nothing in the EasternConference NBA Finals and now the Dallas Mavericks
a bit of a nail bit eer. They win one o eight one oh
five over Gaz's crush, the MinnesotaTimberwolves. Luca just doing Luca things.

(17:55):
It's so interesting for him to bethe point guard to me, like it's
just like we're we've all growing upwith like the point guards, like usually
the short, shifty, really fastguy, not the six seven, two
hundred and thirty pound you know,Lovian, I don't know what. I
don't know where he's from, Slovenia, Slovenian, Slovenian. Like it's not

(18:15):
like it's just it's but he's soit's so good and he's ball dominant.
It doesn't that doesn't quite add upmentally to the to the old basketball stereotypes.
And then what it doesn't add upeven more is that as Luca is
ball dominant and handles business and runsthis team. Kyrie Irving just rolls with
it. He just rolls with itand gives you thirty points and like I've

(18:40):
never seen him go, I'm gonnabe a great teammate. That's how we'll
get where we're going. I thinkit's a second time this month I called
Luca from Slovenia. It's not aSlovenia v e Nia, Slovenia, whatever
in the world, I said,it's not a country. Well, Slovenia
gotta write that sign is where Luca'sfrom. Let's go back to what you
said there about Luca being the pointguard the NBA, the NBA super fan,

(19:07):
the NBA critic. They'd say positionsdon't even exist anymore. I'm sure
there's some truth to that, Likehow we see guys who rebound at the
center position. There's not the olddays of the five where they're backing it
down low. And because you haveso many ball handlers is almost the new
term, you know how like infootball they call him offensive weapons goals scores.
I know what you mean. Lucais the ball handler, but Kyrie,

(19:30):
When do you think about what Kyriedid last night and you know my
take on Kyrie. I can't standhim. He is the Kanye West of
basketball where we have to separate theart versus the artist. And he's not
the creepy version like Michael Jackson orr Kelly. He's just whacked and he's
out there. But when he's inhis prime and when he's playing his best,

(19:51):
and when he's good, he's likeKanye or it's like, gosh,
remember how good Kanye was, man, Remember how good Kyrie is. There's
an art given to me made thatif I've got a basketball and rolled it
out to any human being who's everlived, ever in the history of existence,
and said, what can you dowith this a basketball? Kyrie Irving
is the best ball handler in thehistory of the sport. He can dribble.

(20:15):
Sorry, now the Harlem Globetrotterer musicwas gonna play all of a sudden,
WHOA look that? WHOA want tosee vac and do with a beer
can nextoo looking tempty? Kyrie isthe greatest ball handler in the history of
the sport of basketball that's ever livedon Earth. Now, whether that Earth
is round or flat, you cantalk to Kyrie about that, but he

(20:37):
is He's the best ever. Andlast night he showed he hadn't been a
score in the postseason. I believehe was under average and under seven points
in the first half in the pointpostseason. And then he did what he
did last night twenty plus. Hetook over the game. He's been relatively
I'm gonna use this term oddly withKyrie normal in Dallas' say, he's being

(21:00):
a teammate right like he's he's he'sthe It's like he's accepted I'm the robin
to Lucas Batman. He joined,he joined Luca's team. The only time
he's even been close to that iswhen Lebron came back to Cleveland. But
like even then there was you couldkind of tell that he wanted to do
his own thing. And that's thepart I struggle with Kyrie about whether or
not I should even start to rethinkhow I view him, because maybe he

(21:23):
just got more mature. Maybe herealized, Hey, like I'm saying some
weird stuff in my mid twenties.Now I'm thirty two. Maybe that stuff
that I was doing my mid twentiesneeds to be toned down a bit.
Maybe he's a family guy now he'sgrown up, he's mature. Those things
can happen in life, and Ithink I should accept that. Like,
Hey, even though he's some weirdstuff five years ago, he can't improve

(21:45):
and can learn from the weird stuffthat he said. You mention, you
mentioned him be the number two.Maybe that is the right fit for him.
He was so good when he wasLebron's number two. Uh, Scottie
Pippen, I know he has alwaystalked about his legacy of being Jordan's number
two, then goes on his ownlater in his career and doesn't win the
championship. Some people are great numbertwos, like Kyrie could look back and
say, I'm better in this spotmentally, physically, how I play basketball,

(22:11):
this is better. Great example ofit last night. I feel sick
to my stomach giving Kyrie Irving creditand maybe changing my take on Kyrie.
But he did all of that lastnight. I gotta see it more than
just once and again. We didsee it in Cleveland, but it's he
was a different dude at that point. I think he had kind of been
humbled at that moment. But he'stried to do his own thing in Boston.

(22:33):
He's tried to do his own thingin Cleveland, you know, for
him not to be the point guard, well, I mean they have two
point guards allegedly, But it's justit's interesting. It's interesting, and it's
one of the reasons, even thoughI've said there's no evidence to back up
that he would be a detriment tothis team. So one of the reasons
I thought Minnesota would handle last night. I thought that that you know,

(22:56):
they would be they would be allsad. But you know the stifle tower.
Was it very stifling and you knowEdwards only gives you nineteen points.
That doesn't feel right? Does itfeel like him? Call Anthony Towns climbed
back onto the milk carton. Itwas. It was eh, it was.
It was a mi performance. Theone spot about Minnesota, And this

(23:18):
has been what everyone's talked about sincethe Timberwolves opened this postseason run. When
they get Phoenix, then when theyflip around and get Denver. It showed
in the fourth quarter last night.It's a pretty close game. It's a
competitive game, it's a fun game. You've got star athletes out there.
I got a clip from Kenny SmithI want to play for you in the
second hour that I think is reallyinteresting about that game too, that the
criticism of Minnesota is that they haven'tbeen there before, that they weren't gonna

(23:42):
step up, they weren't gonna makethe big plays. The inexperience would cost
them in the postseason because you facedoff with teams like Phoenix who had had
veterans, like Denver who had wonthe championship, and now you get Dallas
who's got Luca and Kyrie. Isit anexperience? That's hard for me to
say that after they just did atwenty point come from behind victory against Denver,

(24:02):
But it seemed like confidence is theway I'm gonna spin that that Kyrie
and Luca had no issues being theguys at the end. Jason Kidd,
who's a veteran coach, had noissues with him being the guy who's got
to make some tough calls and substitute. They've got guys who have the confidence
to be like, this is nota big stage for us. We've done
this before. Luca understands this isgonna be talked about. Maybe I should

(24:25):
have been talked about more for theMVB. If that's the series we're gonna
get though, that it's gonna comedown to a one possession game in the
fourth quarter, back and forth betweensuperstars. Give me all seven games.
Give me all seven of that.Give me matel Jordan performing all seven games
and drowning out the TNT crew.Give me all of that in Minnesota.
What did Anthony Edwards say about Minnesota? That's blown up? Now, bring

(24:47):
you ass. I'll go on toall six more games of this. If
that's what's happening. I get thissneaky suspicion that it was one of those
It was an over confident spot.We just did what we had to do.
Where this round wear this? Wherethat? Where that? You know?
Bringing ass? Like calling out Kyriethe whole night like I think they

(25:07):
got I think they got punched inthe nose. So now how do you
react? The fight's now on.You're gonna have to walk me through this
very gently because I'm gonna do adating comparison. You know how slow and
almost times I miss on these.But help me here with the Kyrie Wan
Okay, Kyrie was so good lastnight. I just talked to for a
few minutes about Kyrie being almost normaland being less Kanye. Now, after

(25:32):
that one game, New York SportsFan doesn't miss him yet. Right,
Oh god, I'm combining both theKnicks and the Nets though the Nets are
in that conversation because I used toplay for the Nets. Uh No,
I don't think. Well, sohere's here's the thing, right, So
the Knicks don't we never had him, and I don't think we believe that
he would ever play this role withthem, like no, And the Nets

(25:56):
fans like I think, I don'teven know if they are they exist at
the moment, Like I almost feellike they went into hibernation after all the
abuse they've been put through by theirown roster. So but no, why
would you let me do the datingcomparison to walk through this a little bit?
Okay, let's say there was someoneyou found very attractive in their mid
twenties. They were a little crazy. Levax brought up the hot crazy scalp.

(26:18):
Right, this is happening. You'rethinking about dating them, you think
you could have a great future withthem, and then they come out and
say their earth is flat and thatthey're gonna take I think was Jason McIntyre
before us who said the the effectof, you know, missing games.
I really want to go to mysister's birthday? Can I just miss this
game? Wait? What? Yeah? I just really want to go.
Did you see Ukraine can't play?Like? There was some weird stuff they

(26:41):
were saying. They started following theirsocial media pages. You're like, ooh,
but then you know you've gone off, You've dated somebody else, You've
moved on with your life. Butthey're still attractive and they're less crazy,
and you're like, you know whatgood for you? Are you single?
I don't know how that like itfeels like somebody who cleaned up their act,
who was insane in their twenties andthey're still attractive in their thirties.

(27:04):
You might still want a datum.The answers quickly know for you still even
though because analogy didn't work, okay, well, because you have to remember
what happened with you, like you'renever gonna forget what happened while you were
there, right like like it wasyou know, oh, we're gonna make
a home here. Oh, Ihave generational love for you. Oh oh
blah blah blah. My dad washere everything. Uh no, the Boston

(27:29):
thing and then and then the Netsthing, like he was It was such
a mistake and you don't just seehim. You don't just see the X.
You see the exit's friends. Yousee the guy that the X cheating
on you with. You see seeKevin Durant and James Harden, all three
of them, and it's just no, no, thank you. There's there
cannot be a NETS fan left thatthinks the way to build a championship NETS

(27:53):
team is buying superstars, because whatyou just went through, what you've gone
through in the past, Like you, I think every NETS fan right now
is like, would you for thelove ball that's holy draft, good talent
and keep it. It's all wewant right now. We can wait for
a good team if you promise todo it and not give away our future

(28:15):
every five seconds for aging crazy superstars. Well, I couldn't you act like
this when we were together. Youknow, Boston's in that equation to a
little bit, a little bit,not as much as Brooklyn, though Brooklyn
got the real crazy cat. Ithink brook Well and I think that's it's
one of those deals too. Likeagain, like when you see your ex
and whatever issue it was that youhad with them or they had with you,

(28:37):
they've now embraced in their new relationship. I never look at that like
oh wow, she's fixed or whatever. I look at that as like the
hell, like like did I loosenin the pickle jar? Like what like
what happened? Like how did weget here? And then and then and
then just more reason and not wantto be with that person and almost I

(29:00):
don't know if Luca gets credit forthis. I don't know who gets credit
for this. But in this newrelationship with Dallas and Luca, Luca doesn't
have the baggage, Like I reallycan't remember local Maverick fan might know it
better, sports talking Dallas might knowit better. I don't remember a national
headline in year plus of Luca andKyrie feuding or Luca having an issue with

(29:22):
Kyrie. I really don't where.It's like, you left the baggage in
Brooklyn. You left that stuff inNew York. You and I work well
together, and if I don't haveto deal with that, and you and
I can play really well together onthe court, Like we have to remember
Anthony Edwards was drafted in COVID,so he was a twenty twenty draft pick.
Him and Karl Anthony Towns, theseguys are so young. I know
Luca's young too, but like Kyrie'sreally the adult in the room now.

(29:45):
Gosh, you know, I gottado another one where it's like that friend
who got married and you saw himnow they have a kid, and you
saw him in college. You're like, gosh, you're the adult now.
Huh. I'm glad it's not tenyears ago. I'm glad it's not eight
years ago. Reis the adult inthe room in the Western Conference Finals.
God, I mean, there's aweird start to this Thursday show after you

(30:07):
running for office and Kyrie being anadult in the room. It is,
But again, is it gonna last? Like you can hide crazy for a
while, you can't hide it forever. Like it's it's gonna find its way
to the surface. It's bubbling rightunderneath there right now, just sitting there,
bubba bla blah bubble waiting, andsooner or later it'll pol Like let's

(30:30):
say they win, Let's say theMaps get move on and Luke against uh
Western Conference MVP. I think it'sfinals MVP. This flat or that or
it's a Nazi base under the DenverAirport. Kyrie gets to go against Boston,

(30:51):
which I know we've teased the potentialmatchup, and then the Boston media,
like, did you say this citywas racist? What do you think
about the politics of Boston? Whydidn't this work? We don't know.
Oh no, hang on a second, here comes Kyrie. Could be either
way. Both those are deathly possibilities. I mean, yeah, that's what.
He wasn't wrong about everything. That'swhat makes this Western Conference Finals so

(31:11):
interesting, though it does. Imean, like you said, he wasn't
he wasn't wrong about everything. Youknow, even a broken clock is right
twice a day. I mean,what are you gonna do? Listen?

(36:52):
of the Capitol Regions Sports Fan FoxSports ninety five, nine and nine eighty.
I have never attempted to portray myselfas a super knowledgeable hockey fan.
I'm just a fan. I've learneda little bit more every time I watch,
and I learned how to be annoyed, frustrated, and kind of bored.

(37:12):
After watching last night's three nothing lossto the Florida Panthers from the New
York Rangers, the Rangers home icelongest odds. We talked about this yesterday,
but still President's Cup Trophy all that. You you thought they'd come out
and you know, compete, maybebe better, Yeah, do something,

(37:34):
be noticeable, And it was not. It was not the case. As
Igor Schusturkin gave up a terrible likethat, just a kind of goal you
wouldn'trmally give up to k a Jugand then I think it was was it
Panerians. But I remember who righthere it was. I think it was

(37:55):
left went off his stick to goin for the second goal, and then
nett Are in the third because that'syou know, you're trying to do anything
you can to catch up. Threejust three nothing. But realistically speaking,
if everybody's playing up to their fullpotential, that thing might still be going.
That game might still be zero zero. Are you being a little too

(38:16):
polite about that second goal? Iknow it's off his stick, but what
people on the internet are telling meis that it was an own goal and
the Rangers are now dead and toastthat will be the moment that's played back
for the rest of the year.Somewhere in between, I think, somewhere
between the truth lies I just likeI said, I it wasn't like he

(38:36):
like they blindfolded him or spun aroundthree times and then he shot. It
was you know it, This puckhit his stick and went into the net.
He didn't rip off his jersey.I have a panther jersey underneath.
Ah, gotcha. There's a partof the nWo. But but you remember
I said I wanted Boston because Ithink Florida is good. I mean obviously
they're good, but they just playa very frustrating style of hockey. They

(39:00):
will push you around, they willslow the game down. I mean,
we were talking about worst case scenariofor the Rangers. I think in passing
yesterday might have even off the air, was like, Okay, what could
be the worst case scenario for theRangers? In Game one? You think
a player would get injured who's beenan impactful player for the team. Okay,

(39:21):
I mean, injuries can't really predictthat. What about a blowout loss
where they're embarrassed and a lot ofthe matchups you thought the Rangers could potentially
have strength against would be shown notto be true. Ooh, that'd be
bad. What if, like beforethe series started, that some numbers from
wagering websites seemed way too against theRangers? Would that also be startling?
Yeah? Is that two for three? Is that two for three? Of

(39:45):
the worst things possible I could havehappened for the Rangers have already happened.
I know those I know one wecovered yesterday. It was the gambling,
the wagering, and now the blowout, embarrassing loss. I like I and
you can you can tell them meat the jeffle Back on Twitter. You
can tell me if I'm wrong aboutthis. Florida plays such an aggressive style,

(40:09):
like I almost wish you'd just likejust sitting rempy out on the ice
at the very beginning, let mebeat somebody up. I think Sean Avery
said it too, and it's like, because I'm saying it the whole time,
I'm just waiting. I'm like,there was no like egregious physicality,
but like there was a nough whereI was like, you know what,
let the young man hop the boards. Let the young guy get out there

(40:30):
and drop the gloves, earn thatpaycheck a little bit. We know what
your strength. This Eastern Conference Finalsone minute in set the tone. Yeah,
little physicality, just let him know. You know, listen, there's
a lot of guys out there inblue sweaters that maybe aren't going to push
you around. I ain't one ofthem. Wouldn't sports be so much better

(40:52):
for us people who talk about sports, have fun with sports everything else if
we had more games like that,you know, all of a sudden basketball
opening tip off foul. I gotfive more to give in the NBA,
I got four more in college.I'm gonna use them up right, now
right out of the gates, baseballfirst hitter, right at the head,

(41:13):
get ready to set the tone.Well, especially like my reason for it
is Florida is obviously just more physicalthan New York, like the Panthers just
obviously planned on playing a more physicalgame than the Rangers did. There's only
one guy right now that you actuallylike. Well, Truba has got the
got a reputation stuff like that,but he's you know, he's a little

(41:35):
older and you need him out there. The guy that you know, he's
got that Jeff Buka boom thing goingis rempy like he's the guy, and
it fires up the If he hoppedthe boards at any point, the roof
would have come off of Masive SquareGardens, it would have come up.
And again I get it. Youdon't want to know that. You don't
want to deal with the power play. You don't do this, you know
what, So what, I'm sorry, so what? Like it's you.

(42:00):
You scored zero goals, well arguablyyou scored one goal account for the other
team. But like I just Iwanted that burst. I wanted that boast.
I want to rampy, to jumpin there and just start handling,
just just hat one hat, onegood haymaker, take out a rap I
don't care. Hit somebody just gocrazy, hit somebody do anything crazy?

(42:25):
Okay, one loss, very bad, worst case it came off soft.
Worst case scenarios were playing out inreal time last night. Uh, fear,
nervousness, the emotions that you're feelingright now, still a little bit
away from game two, Like we'rethey're not done, They're not toast,

(42:45):
We're not going to stick a fork. It wasn't it was bad. It's
very bad, but not overdone,right, Like how much confidence have you
lost in the Rangers after that gamewon, to the point where you think
you wouldn't pick them to win theseries? Or Stanley Cup, I have
doubts now, Like I'm still youknow, it's still it's easily fixable.
But again, they just looked soft, like they they just there's three games

(43:08):
now this postseason where the Rangers havegot out on the ice and haven't looked
like the Rangers, and they've lostall three of them. So can they
can they shake this off? Becausethey can they get it together? And
all right? Now, you sometimesyou need to get hit before you realize
that you're in the game. Isthis the hit. Did they get hit?
And now they're in the game.Is that you know? Is that

(43:29):
where we're at that that's that's thequestion for me, because again, Florida's
good Panthers A no joke, man, there's there's no there's no doubt about
it. Then they give you aclassic sports cliche question, and I think
there is some truth to this.Okay. Remember, to start off the
postseason, the New York Rangers wonseven straight games, seven straight games to

(43:52):
lead off this postseason. They wereon course to many you have one of
the most dominant runs in the historyof the NHL's postseason with the President's Cup
champion, that they are, thegreat regular season they had and everything else.
They were on that pace. Andthen Carolina won a game. Okay,
that happens, it's the postseason.Then they won another game, and
then all of a sudden, itwas to Game six, and the pressure

(44:13):
started to come over the Rangers,like, what's gonna happen here? Remember,
I know Ranger fan wants to forgetthis. They're down three one head
into the third. They are backagainst the wall, not playing great mentally.
Uh oh, an all time chokejob is potentially on the way and

(44:34):
then they get that big time goal. Kreider has the amazing natural hat trick
and it leads them to the Conferencefinals. The question I was gonna ask
is they didn't peak too soon?That's not a thing. It feels like
it's starting too many things are liningup where it's like the Rangers play their
best hockey the worst time, whichwas before the Stanley Cup and before the

(44:54):
Conference finals. But when you winseven straight and almost blow a three to
nothing lead, if you don't havea thing you haven't seen in decades in
Ranger history happen, history would tellus that potentially they might have peaked too
soon. I know that's so lazyand so, but it feels like that's
the truth playing out right now.Well and again, that's that's how you're
gonna feel until they actually show theplay a game. Now, So that

(45:17):
now was it? I think theyhave what night off and then they play
tomorrow night. Yeah, all right, so they shall them play and that's
that's bright and serious. Tie winone. Now you need to go win
one in Florida. Okay, let'sgo go get it. They're extremely talented,
but they're easy to frustrate and sometimesthey're soft and and that's no hockey

(45:39):
player. Everyone's be called saft.That's just the I mean, that's the
end all and fial Oh, bythe way, you know it's not saft.
The New York Yankees five nothing wentover Seattle today after beating them up
last night. Huh, how youdoing, guys? Pretty that was pretty

(46:00):
impressive that seven three last night?Five nothing tonight, here we go.
Huh, Clay Holmes, they getto save, so you know it's good
I find nothing. I mean,you know, we have some issues.
They're gonna count that as a save. Three runs in the seventh you lost.
You lost three in a row inBaltimore. By the way, I
saw Bill on Twitter, you know, three and a half games back.

(46:22):
I saw what you're up to,mister Bill on Twitter, say three and
a half games back, gos,that's so wild. My Cardinals stick.
I can't believe they're being your oriolesam. I right, yeah, you
are right, Bill. Yeah,I have a phone too. You know
what, we'll get deeper into thatYankee game coming up here in the top
four to four. We're gonna alittle early start to the top four four
because I have a few more storylines. They'd like to talk to you about

(46:42):
