(00:04):
We missed it. Uh, tieof the four biggest stories in the world
of sports. It's actually a littlebit early. We're getting we're getting into
it a little early for you guys, early birds getting the worms. It's
brought to you by Mohawk Honda.But they always got the way to please
you got the fourth, the bigstory. I think I sort of liked
this a little bit. Huh feelskind of good. Yeah, some people

(00:25):
in their cars won't like this.But podcast, why why did they start
early? They've only done it oncein the history of a year plus.
Let's recap the afternoon Action excluding onegame. We're gonna start number three.
They'll spoiler alert Giants take out thePirates seven to six in that matchup at
P and C Park. Other gamesof note today include Afternoon Baseball Action the

(00:45):
Phillies, the best team in baseball. Shout out to that wonderful Phillies fan
who joined us yesterday live was ityesterday Tuesday? Thank you from Mohawk Kanda.
We didn't catch her name, didwe was missus Bryce Harper? Oh
right, that's what it was.She said her brother worked for the Phillies.
Yes, she was very nice.Nice five two they're leading the Rangers
right now, Reds and Potters lockedup at four a piece. That game

(01:07):
could go to extras. That meanswe could see it advanced runner at second
base, Braves Cubs one nothing gamein that one top of the sixth Rockies,
Athletics, Rockies two zero games ofnote that have yet to get underway.
Six forty, Blue Jays, TigersOrioles to get on the White Sox
seven forty. First pitch there,h Levac. I gotta admit the after

(01:30):
doing baseball action, I thought wouldbe a little bit more exciting, and
I thought that Rangers Phillies series couldpotentially be World Series preview. The Phillies
are dominating right now Philly. Iknow I said they're the best to be
in baseball, but they've handled theTexas Rangers. How about out scoring them
sixteen to six the past two gamesand then including what they're doing right now

(01:52):
against Texas in that matchup. Ifwe did a power ranking, Oh gosh,
what is happening on today's show?Power Ranking? Would you have actually
put Philly, New York as onetwo on your rankings? Uh? New
York, Philly, Okay, tried, but that's not what ESPN had this
week. What did the dreaded fourletter network have? Philly, the Dodgers,

(02:16):
then the Yankees, then your filthyOreles and the Dodgers are still playing.
Yeah, they're out there. Otanihad his first career walk off a
few days ago. Pretty impressive.Do you see the video that's going viral
with Otani? And I shouldn saythe video of the photo that's going viral
with Otani that he was in thelocker room with Cameron Brink from the La

(02:38):
Sparks. Yeah, and then shewas laughing and everyone's like, oh,
what is Otani's wife saying? Whatare you a comedian? Now to two
things first, Uh, she islooking forward to one day being in the
Sports Illustrated swimsuit. She she's proudof her body. Uh. And the
other one is he just bought AdamCarolla's mansion seven point eight million. Yeah.

(02:59):
Yeah, So I don't know what'sweird. Corolla had that or did
he let it go? Corolla mighthave built it. He used to be
a carpenter. I got some questionsabout the Corolla situation. Corolla the godfather
of podcasting. Yeah, maybe hehad some more money than people realized.
I don't know. Gosh, eightmillion dollar home he owned. See this

(03:20):
is what happens. If Jimmy Kimmelhad become woke, he'd be selling his
mansions and stead of still be onTV. How did Adam Carolla make that
much money? Or did he havefather? On podcast The Man Show?
I guess stand up comedy. Imean maybe the home was How long did
he have the home? I don'tknow. He was a carpenter when he
was in a boxer At one point, it's like that's all true. Yeah,

(03:42):
we learned a lot there in thefourth story. In the time,
I mean, I already knew it. It happens when he run from there.
Let n let's move on to storynumber three. We did exclude one
afternoon game. That's the New YorkYankees taking on the Seattle Mariners, and
the game has gone final five nothing. As we mentioned just a few minutes
ago, a three hitter for theYankees' pitching stuf Back. I would say
the storyline we'd take away from thisgame is the dominance of the pitching for

(04:04):
the New York Yankees. Four pitchershit the mound the reek and mined hits.
Two were clay homes. Buddy pitchedbetter. How Darry one hitter going
into Holmes gets in without Cole,without Tommy Gaine. I believe you've been
saying this all week. This pitchingstaff is going to get better. Best
pitching staff in baseball right now.Not sure if it's even close. I

(04:26):
was ready to give Seattle some loveor how well they looked in this series
for most of it, but boy, New York answered strong today with that
effort on the mound. Yeah,they're pretty good. I don't know if
you knew this. The starting pitchingvery strong. But also something else happened.
A stat a factoid. When thesetwo things happened in a Yankee game,

(04:48):
they are thirty six and four ooh, thirty six and four, uh,
forty times thirty six of those timesthe Yankees have won a game,
they've entered the seventh inning with alead, both Aaron Judge and John Carlos

(05:09):
Stan hit a home run. Itshaving forty times they've won thirty six of
those forty times, it's being oneof them. Huh hey like that of
the time. Imagine if they wereboth healthy all the time. A great
stat that was really good, Thankyou. I knew it was out there.
I couldn't. I was like,dear God, please find it,
find it, find it, findit, And I found it. Having

(05:30):
that kind of day, that's afresh nugget right there. That's good fresh
nuggies. The New York Yankees willbe back in action very soon. The
New York Yankees the I'm sorry theAmerican League East leading dominate New York Yankees
up three and a half games onthe lowly zero to three in the last

(05:57):
three games. Baltimore, the Auriolsagain start a series. To think with
the White Sox, who are verybad. We will rise up and beat
down the Orcs. Is that ateas for your play of the day.
I got some I got some issues. We'll get I think you have more
issues with me. Yeah. TheYankees, by the way, I mention,

(06:18):
they're gonna be an action again soon. They are studying a West Coast
series against the San Diego Padres tomorrowat move on to story number two.
It's back to the ice. Wejust talked some Rangers Panthers. Now,
how about oilers stars, Oilers stars, Lavac. We're not supposed talk about

(06:41):
play the Day, but I'll justsay this oiler stars. Now that you
know the New York Rangers potentially couldbe in the Stanley Cup Final. They
only have to win four more games. Zero to ten scale of interest.
We're doing that a lot here inMay about certain sporting events, and we
put the Oilers and Stars right backin it. Give me a number on
your interest level for Eiler Stars onemore time, with the Rangers now being

(07:01):
down one to oh in the EasternConference finals. Zero point five. However,
I do have a factoid I thinkyou might enjoy. You got another
nugget. Learned this one yesterday,held on to it in the old Cabasa.
Whoa. It was over at Kujino'sPizza for flock you and I learned
something. The Dallas the major teamsin the Dallas area. So you're Dallas

(07:23):
Stars, Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, and the Dallas Cowboys combined, I
not combined. But all those otherteams except for the Cowboys have now reached
their conference finals. How long hasbeen since the Cowboys have reached the NFC

(07:46):
Conference finals? Oh, that's cruel. So the Rangers won the World Series,
so they got in twenty twenty three. The Mavericks have just recently done
it and they've gone to the finals, the NBA Finals in twenty eleven,
I believe. All right, sothey've gotten the more Roberts files were going
right now, that's exactly so.Right now? Who do I miss?

(08:09):
Dallas is there there right now?And they also got there the Stanley Cup
final in the COVID season nineteen ninetyHang on, I'm between six and four
nineteen ninety four. I'm gonna gowith twenty years two thousand and four,
two four, twenty years that theCowboys admitted to the NFC finals. Really

(08:31):
two thousand and four, I thinkit's further. Back double check that.
I think it's nineteen ninety four.I feel like two thousand and four would
have been like the Eagles in theEagles Falcons. Is it the two thousand
and five that a they count three? I think it's ninety four. Back
double check the look because they saidit was twenty years. I think it's
more embarrassing than people realize. Ithink the things that it was twenty years,

(08:54):
I think it's thirty. I'll keeplooking. Well, you look that
up. The nugget's great. Ilove it. I think it's thirty years.
Wow. Cowboy fan just as embarrassinghistory of the NFC Championship. We'll
go on to the story. Numberone is the end of Pacers taking on
the Boston Celtics eight o'clock tip offsetfor this game tonight inside the gd Garden.

(09:16):
The Celtics escape with a game onevictory is they hit that three forced
overtime and picked up the winning overtimelines. It's an eight and a half
to twenty four and a half isthe over under in that game. Celtics
Pacers in the nineteen ninety five YEP, ninety five ninety six season, they
won thirty eight to twenty seven overGreenback. I was hoping I was going

(09:39):
to get credit for that that Itwas like nineteen ninety five NFC title game,
but it was the ninety four season. They were in the ninety four
alright, so they were I meanthey were on a run at that point.
Your stat was still impressive. Itit was still in Saltic Calbery.
Yeah, it's way longer than theyare. Sales manager Chris is listening to
that stat. It was just slowlylike, no, no, the Cowboys

(10:01):
sucked longer. Keep looking, keepscrolling back, keep scrolling. He's warming
a seat over at the Tipsy Tacogetting ready to think about it, Jake.
You know what. Good bye toJake Marcus. What a fantastic sales
rep he's been. We have afew minutes shout out to Jake own Twitter.
He's leaving its Twitter. Should webe going to this party? We

(10:22):
both like Jake very very busy.I know you're very busy. I have
a dinner meeting, uh with withthe Firebirds Brass. I can't I just
can't skip that. They started theJake Marcus going away party at five.
Now you and I are on theear till six, so that it's like,
you know, people are gonna probablystart. They're already gone, right
they started the party. Yeah,they're gone. There's there's almost no one

(10:45):
here. I hope Dion's working atthe Tipsy Taco. She is the queen
of the Tipsy Moves. She's great. I hope she's working over there.
I've been to Tipsy Taco. I'vebeen to the Tipsy Moose. I never
been to the Tipsy Taco. Soif you see iHeart media polos running around,
that's where our sales team is.But maybe he's not looking about the
Cowboys. You know what, wewere invited, So shout out to Jake

(11:07):
has done a great job. Sohe had an athlete Pacer Celtics. Back
to that storyline where we're talking about, well fact the Celtics had come from
behind victory, they stole game one. Some would say any takes on Pacers
Celtics Game two? We Usually thisis where I would tease ahead and say,
well, breaking down more coming upnext. I want to sit right
here in the top foard four toit because some people won't be joining us.
Wait they just look, we gotonto the top four for a little

(11:28):
early today. All right, Uh, Pacer Celtics. Any take on Game
two? Yeah? I think theCeltics get it done. I think that
that was the wake up call theyneeded, knock the rust off, get
after it a little bit. Ithink the Pacers they played that's gotta be
one of those games where you sitthere and you go, we played the
best we could possibly play and itdidn't matter. I really feel like that.

(11:50):
So I just I think the Celticsare just the better team and they'll
show it tonight. I just gota text from h at sir Bert.
This a DM boys. It's aninstant dubbed tonight. So much cheese.
Give me Celtics minus three and ahalf with Halliburton the dork under twenty and
a half. This one about tobe oozing Cheddar. Okay, I mean

(12:16):
in Cheedda. I mean that's that'sconfidence, way more confident than you and
I. So what is he doingto tease? He's doing a teaser,
teasing it all over the place.I think it's eight and a half.
I don't think it's three and ahalf. Oohs in Cheddar. If at
Sir Bird hits a minus three anda half Celtics and Haliburt under twenty and
a half, we might use theterm ooz in Cheddar again thanks to that

(12:37):
private message that he probably didn't wantme to read on the air. His
wife smart probably listening. H here'smy feel on Celtics Pacers Game two.
Boston is gonna do the same thingagain. They're gonna be the better team
in the first three quarters. Taketheir foot off the gas. Indiana's gonna
charge back, but Indiana's gonna grabone here. If oh gosh, man,

(12:58):
if I think India is gonna wintonight, why wouldn't I just take
them with the points. That seemslike the obvious play. But if Boston
actually shows up in the fourth quarter, no, no, no, no,
Boston is gonna have a big enoughlead here in the fourth quarter,
like a fourteen or fifteen point lead. Indiana's gonna charge back, but it's
not gonna be enough. I watchedthe Celtic team have a five point game

(13:18):
against Cleveland and turn that around atabout three possessions. So Boston will win.
I take that back. Indiana's comebackwon't be strong enough. I'll take
the Celtics and it probably will sitaround eight to ten. Also, just
because we mentioned the Celtics advancing JB. Bickerstaff, he didn't make the top
four to four. How woulf you'rea Cavalier fan. They just fired him

(13:39):
today. The Cavaliers got through Johnb. Line. They were a top
four seat in the Eastern Conference.They had been bumped by Boston and back
to back seasons. Donovan Mitchell's injured, the starting center for the Cavaliers is
injured, yet he's still got fired. You want to talk about some tough
gigs, the tough NFL coaches,SEC football coaches. If you're an NBA

(14:00):
coach, they can to the PhoenixSun's head coach, and now they canned
JB. Bickerstaff. My gosh,man, it's a tough gig to be
an NBA coach right now, butit always is. It's a players league.
Like you don't like you and theplayers are superstars. You're gone,
You're toasted when you're you're in aplayer's league. The plus side is some
other superstars gonna love you, andyou're gonna get picked right back up.

(14:24):
Uh. So you know, getready to be on NBC when they take
over, uh, you know,and we'll go from there. Have you
seen John Tesh By the way,he looks like Frankenstein with blonde hair plugs.
That's the really He've been on Firetoday with your confarisons. That's too
good again. John Tash is abig man, and I believe he's like

(14:46):
six five six six. He's aradio guy of fire. Yeah, he

he's he's been looking a little rough. But you know what, he's about

There is a feud that happened lastnight that I don't even know if you
caught. I don't know if NewYork sports fans caught this. It happened
last night, and one person calledit the dumbest thing they've ever heard.

(16:55):
But you might be on that person'sside. We'll talk about it more next
here on the Voice of the CapitalRegion Sports Fan the Back Guys, Fox
Sports ninety five nine, nine eightyfive thousand dollars. That's the average amount
of money people in the US arenow spending on guests. It's Lavak and
Guz on ninety five nine Fox SportsRadio. Uh uh uh, I might

(17:17):
play that again before the shows aresure you will get toy stu this toys
with a z Levac and guys,I'll do it. Uh, I don't.
I don't believe you, or Ido believe you, but I'm not
gonna say either way. A littlebit of Knick's news real quick. Jalen
Brunch Well, Bojan Bogdanovic and Jalenbruns And both getting surgery today. Uh

(17:37):
Brunson on that fractured hand. SoI mean the word surgery like, I
don't think it's a fair word.I think it's a correct word, but
I think it's a I think it'sI think it's bullpoop. Okay, because
because it's like listen, I couldhave my hand completely rebuilt, and that's

(18:03):
surgery. I could have one littlefloating body piece of bone removed from in
between the two you know, messitarsals, and that's still surgery. So
like when they say he had surgeryor repair disfractured hand, what the hell
they do? Like? Should Ibe worried? Can you still count to

(18:23):
ten? Most people use that quoteabout minor surgery, right, you have
minor surgery. It's only minor foreveryone else besides me. The minor surgery
is I would believe that Jaylen Brunsonshould be fine if it was a major
surgery or any surgery that could havepotentially taken him off the court. It
feels as if that would have happened. We've seen some athletes put it off

(18:45):
surgery. If you want to bea negative New York sports fan, we
could talk about Garrett Cole and hissurgery that's eventually gonna happen, But that
feels more like masa Hero tanaka,where you know you're gonna have to eventually
get it fixed. Yeah, butnot now, when do we come back?
Yeah? It just pitched till itfalls off. Ah, what do
you mean you got a partially torna ucl it's not that bad. Okay,

(19:07):
that's the extreme. Garrett Cole overhere. The other extreme, the
other end of it is Jalen Brunson'shand surgery. You've got until October November
December when you want Brunton back tofull health. He's got about six months
to recover now until meaningful games areagain played for the nixt So not a
big deal, not even the mostimportant surgery in New York over the next

(19:30):
spring and summer. Okay, allright, all right, But again,
the word surgery is just like sucha wide ranging thing, you know,
like, oh it's surgery, Ohmy god, what happened? Yeah,
and grown figuring it out, liketook it right now, get out of
here, leave right now. Youknow, have you hit surgery? Uh?

(19:52):
Yeah? On on how many andhow many times? Lady never tells
I have I had a I hada lump removed from my skull. Whoa,
Now that you should have saved thatone for the end. That's intense.
Wait a second, it ended upbeing like assist, but they couldn't
tell what it was at first.It was right back here. That's a
little intensely bag, I'd say that'ssurgery. The only throw is when I

(20:15):
woke up and there was blood onmy hands. Oh my god? What
And I'm like, how did thishappen? Like, oh, you must
have touched your head. I'm like, how did I touch my head?
How did I do that? Iwas asleep, I was out, like
you move around a lot like I'mvery resilient. I'm like a ginger when
it comes to anesthesia. Did youdo the surgery? Yeah? I did
myself. I'm very poor. NowI'm wondering. Like most head surgeries,

(20:38):
I hear it should be fun.I think it's brain surgery. Like the
patients awake. You see those videosof the people doing weird things, and
I wonder if they did that toyou. Well, they don't put you
all the way out. Yeah.So I'm like, I'm like, wait,
aren't you the one who did thesurgery. She's like I was in
the room. I'm like, youdon't know how I got blood on my
hands? Wait, there were fourof you when we walked in. Why

(20:59):
are there only I've had I hadto have a I had a deviated septum,
had my nose broken when I wasa kid. So they had to
go in with a hammer and chiseland break the uh, the bone in
the middle. Were you awake forthat? I woke up. Oh my
gosh, I woke up. Iwoke up to the dude with a chisel
in my nose and a hammer andI hear and I and he goes,

(21:22):
ooh, you shouldn't be up,and he turned it out more. This
is helping me understand why you viewsurgery draining that word okay, any more
perspective here aside from that, justlike some some skin stuff. Because my
dad had cancer. So I've hada couple of colonoscopies. Does that count?
That's not a surgery? Have youhad surgery? I've had two surgeries.
I've had one on my shoulder.Have you had one that worked?

(21:45):
The shoulder surgery was the day beforemy twenty first birthday. Parents were happy
about that. I was like,what about my twenty first They're like,
you'll have a few more days todrink in your life, You'll be okay.
So I had that the day beforemy twenty first birthday. That was
not fun. Wisdom teeth Throe countwell, maybe that sort of surgery,
I think, oh dude, thathurts. Yeah. My favorite is the

(22:06):
finger So I had surgery on myfinger. If you see me out,
you can check the massive scar onmy hand. And that's why that joke
of has any surgery actually worked foryou. My finger is still crooked.
There's a massive it's how they didthis. This is not a straight line
on the palm of my hand.But you know, half joking as a
kid, when a guy that doneat seventeen, I'm like, that would
be a tough way to go.Like should I tell people I'm having finger

(22:29):
surgery? Right? Like that sortof feels like the Jaylen brunts and hand
surgery. Like you want something coollike leave acts had like things taking off
your brain. Sure, tell peoplewhat you want. I will tell you
that. My friend who picked meup from that surgery was like it was
just it was a cyst. I'mlike, well, yeah, that's ultimately
that's what they classified. Assist isanother word that gets pretty wide used.

(22:52):
He's called me the P word,and then we went drinking. I was
like, I don't think this wasa drink. After this, he's like,
yeah, you're fine. What Ididn't like about my finger surgery is
that I woke up and I wascompletely shaved. Everything was shaved my chest
was shaved. Yes, really,I still have questions about that. I
don't know why I was shaved duringthat surgery. It feels like it happened.

(23:17):
Wait were you with Jordan at thatpoint? She was like, listen,
there's an extra one hundred in foryou if you take you turn them
from a sasquatch into a human,that would be great. You, Matt,
you thought it was bad waking upwith blood all over yourself. Imagine
me looking down at my finger.There's crooked lines all over my hand and
I'm completely shaved. What happened?I had a finger, just needed it.

(23:37):
Butt hurts. I don't know what'sgoing on here. It's crazy listen
attendant on this finger. But anyways, we hope Jalen Brunson's okay. Surgery
has gone well for him. Didn'tyou want to tell you about heat or
something like that? Oh yeah,I do have audio here. Well,
I don't know who do you agreewith on this take here? I know
we've talked a lot about the WesternConference Finals, the Eastern Colords Finals,

(24:00):
this new era of the NBA.If you missed it last night, what
might be a few more times we'regonna hear inside the NBA, the TNT
Show, a lot of rumors outthere about the future is for twenty twenty
four, twenty twenty five. Thisaired in the pregame, not in the
halftime, where it was drowned outby this is how We do It by
Montel Jordan. That was awesome.I saw a young Jeezy perform at that
same arena at a Wolve's game whenwe covered the Super Bowl. Anyways,

(24:22):
Montel Jordan played at halftime. Here'swhat happened pregame. Are you team Kenny
Smith or team Charles Barkley with thisquote, dang, I want to switch
giins just a little bit early inthis where and no disrespect to Jason Tatum,
Jaylen Brown and or Halliburton, Butwhoever wins this series, the face
of the league is coming out.You know, they have the two most

(24:45):
polarizing guys with Luca Doncis and AnthonyEdwards. So now if they get to
the finals, it won't be theywon a lost. So it wouldn't be
Boston one. It'd be Luca lost. It wouldn't be Boston won it for
Indiana one. It would be antMan lost. So this is something different

(25:07):
to me to watch from a fanstandpoint, not an analyst, but who
comes out and be the face ofthe NBA moving forward. Wow, that
was one of the dumbest things I'veever heard it. So, so,
either Luca or Anthony Edwards is theface of the NBA when they win this

(25:29):
and take on the Celtics, orthat's one of the dumbest things you've ever
heard. Kenny was not happy withCharles and I know if I think it's
getting a little bit more serious,I think tensions are high right now.
I don't fly on NBC. Iknow Barkley was going wild on Dan Patrick
today. If you missed it,go check out the digital side of that
where he says morales very low atteen. I think it's affecting those guys,

(25:51):
so are you Look it seems asif Kenny the Jets smith is taking
a shot at the Celtics in Boston, saying, who cares about the Celtics,
It's about Luca and Anthony Edwards,which New York sports fan might be
like, Oh, it's not aboutBoston and you're taking shots at Boston,
I'm with you, or the restof the country might be with Barkley,
and that's the dumbest thing they've everheard. Curious is an anti Boston person

(26:11):
that you are? Where are youon that? I don't. I definitely
don't think it's the dumbest thing I'veever heard. I don't think Boston can
have a face in the league becausenobody talks like. They're just a bunch
of quiet guys who play basketball.Like, as much as I don't like
them, you gotta respect the waythey do business. I could. I
can't be the only one who's beensitting around going Okay, Lebron's forty.

(26:33):
He can't be the face for toomany more years, or at least you've
got to start transitioning to someone else. Why not the ball dominant big fella
from Dallas or you know what alot of people, including Goz, is
calling the next Michael Jordan. AnthonyEdwards has a great personality. People love

(26:53):
that guy. I'm totally with KennySmith. I agreed so much with Kenny
Smith. When I re listen tothat cut and I heard it in my
home watching the coverage, I'm like, did someone drop in like a drop
like, did Barkley actually say that, or did someone drop in like you
know, we joke around with Angelsaying till the voice of the Firebirds earlier
the old Billy Madison cut, didsomeone just like audio drop it? Because

(27:15):
that's he didn't like he really meantthat quote about the Celtics. I'm with
it if Barkley say who the facewas, it's just fifty seconds you can
go find it. I know.I'm saying like if he because that's the
only thing, like, hey,gods, that's stupid. That's a dumb
take. Okay, well then whois it like if I don't have somebody
to like at least offer against yourdude, you have an argument, you

(27:38):
know what I mean? Yeah,I'm sure that looking at the Celtics that
would be taken away. And hetried to, hey, I don't know,
disrespect but and then disrespects him andthat's why Celtic they got so worked
up about it. But it's sotrue. Like, let's take the Celtics
for the last forty years, right, the face of the Celtics is Larry
Bird in the eighties. We allknow that the nineties they wanted to be
somebody else, but antwine Walker isnot that person. Tim Dunk. They

(27:59):
don't win the lottery, they starthaving success again in the two thousands,
of late two thousands, early twentytens, Paul Pierce is the guy.
But Paul Pierce in the span oflegacy and where he ranks, God,
that's a deep Reddit fight that evenPaul Pierce is going on rival stations and
rival cities to talk about his legacy. Like I know he's gone viral this
week. He's screaming at Mike Ryanand Miami about how good and not good

(28:22):
Paul Pierce's legacy is odd. Likeif I listened off thirty great NBA players,
I don't think Paul Pierce is therethirty forty. Maybe he gets into
fifty. But Boston has this identitycrisis all of a sudden where it's like,
well, we want to win andhave the superstar. We want to
have baseball comparisons, right, likeBig Poppy and Ted Williams and players of
the past represented the city. Likewe saw the Bobby Orr statue and we

(28:48):
saw it gone to the brooms.How was Bobby Or? I thought it
was Billy Madison and wow, TomBrady the other one. Of course,
I was like Foxborough, It's alltrue. Luca and Anthony Edwards can become
the face of the league. They'rethe two most popular guys left. And
it also helps me here for inthe second hour of the show that I

(29:10):
don't have to give Kyrie credit.Kyrie's thirty two, like he played so
good. I know I mentioned it'sgonna make me sick to my stomach.
I gotta do this again here,but he's thirty two, Luca's young,
Anthony Edwards is young, like it'sa fine and Jalen Brunson, let's fring
it up like Jalen Brunston almost gotthe knicks to the conference finals. Jalen
Brunson's in New York. Jalen Brunsonwent for a Philadelphia market well top five,

(29:30):
top six to New York City andis like, maybe Nick fans like,
what about Jalen Brunson, I can'tit be the point guard of the
New York City team. It's well, I mean, the podcast helps Jalen
Brunton a little bit because you getto see his personalit a little more.
But he doesn't talk much much either. No, I don't, I don't.
I said the here's here's here's whyyou know, it could very well

(29:52):
be Anthony Edwards, even if it'snot Luca, did you see the whole
thing? They asked him, likewhy they why they played the way they
did while they lost the game,and he he said, basically, we
came out flat, we found ourenergy, we came out flat again.
And then at the very end hegoes, I don't know, I guess
we were tired, and he giggles. I think if Kyrie said we were

(30:17):
tired, we would you load managementpiece that dude. Hee, Like,
we would lose our mind if ifif seventy of the NBA said we were
tired, that's why he lost thegame, even in jest, if Rudy
Gobert said it, we'd have himdeported. But Anthony Edwards said it and
giggled, and we all went,yeah, you're so funny. You got

(30:38):
you you you you Sarah. Youget out of here, go take a
nap. Little guy like I thinkhe's if if Minnesota wins this and he
has a all star performance all theway out, he's he could very well
be the face. And I thinkhe and I don't think we'd be bad
off for it. And if hereally were to have the face in Minnesota,

(31:03):
yeah, I don't think I'd likethat very much. Well, he's
a nice player. You love him, though. I do like the reason
I'm almost undercutting my Anthony Edwards takeis because I'm being selfish and want I'm
on the East Coast. I knowall can see more Anthony Edwards content if
he's on the East Coast. Iknow that's selfish, but it's true.
It's you know, it is whatit is. Yeah, it's sad,
but true. Barkley is such ajerk. He really is telling the attentions

(31:29):
are running high over there. Well, yeah, they all thought. He
also went off on the bosses overthere. He talked about the he called
the boss as a bunch of idiotsor something like that. All I can
hear on the Dan Patrick Show,which you can hear weekdays here on the
Voice of the Capital Region Sportsman.I knew I heard it. I couldn't.
I just couldn't remember where nine amthe noon. I actually, uh,
I canceled everything extra because like Iwas when you know, when you

(31:56):
buy a new vehicle, they giveyou the satellite stuff for a while,
so I had that, and thenwhen I canceled it, like when they
were like, oh already you wantto keep it, I'm like, no,
what if we give it to youfor you know, three pennies,
some chewed bubble gum and in apaper clip. I'm like, well,
I happen to have those things sohere, but I canceled that. I
canceled my Spotify, I canceled everything. So I'm like all in on trestial

(32:20):
radio right now. So I don'teven like I'm just flipping through and I
didn't. I didn't even realize whereI heard it. So there you go.
I like that I heard it righthere. I heard it right here.
You know what else? I likeU s X Past Control. I
like big butts and I cannot lie, but USX Past Control is pretty dann
good as well. I like anycompliments for my in laws and mother in
law about how nice are lawn looks, and how wonderful things are, and

(32:43):
how they're not worried about that,how they didn't get bit by the pest
or see something running around. Thoseare great things that have happened. Thomas
isn't a complete end yet. Greatjob. You've got a long Memorial Day
weekend coming up. Are you havingthe barbecue or you having a party?
Do you have some time off fromwork tomorrow? Maybe call up USX passengarbill
be like, now, no,no, I did stuff today. I
called USX pest Control to make sureour home is safe for the summer.

(33:05):
Call them today, get the phoneout when you're sitting on the couch,
baby enjoying a four eight weekend,saying USX past Control say schedule of free
inspection. Do you know what I'mgonna So they're coming next week for me?
Okay, so I'm gonna send themover a note because I have a
new issue. And this isn't thisis this is a tough one to handle.
Carpenter bees. Okay, they're notdangerous to you, but they're trying

(33:29):
to live. I walked outside andthey're sitting on my drinking table. I
have like a high top picnic tablethat seats four, and you all kind
of look at each other and asa as a my buddy Eric made it,
and they're sitting around the table likethey're having a party. There's like
six of them just sitting in acircle on the table. But you're not
supposed to kill those ones. Thosearen't the ones you kill. So like,

(33:51):
now I know who knows how totake care of it. It's USX
pest control, and God, they'recoming because I'm sitting there. I'm like,
I'm sorry if you know I wantto sit there. I paid for
the table. These bees didn't.They're gonna have to buzz off get out.
Yeah. So I've got usx PSTcontrol the handle things the right way,
the effective way. No uh,no mosquitoes, no nothing right now,
get that free inspection today, yousxpastdot com. UH. Play of

(34:15):
the day and an issue that Imight have with a certain person in the
other room. That's next right here, Fox Sports Radio ninety and nine eighty
Slavac and guyz on ninety five nineFox Sports Radio, or time for the

(34:36):
uh, the the play of theDay, Broddy my Mohawk Chevrolet Together,
Let's stripe with Mark Chevy where theyalways go out of their way to please
you. Guys, you suck.You're a terrible person. Did you win
your playoffs day? I'm hotter thana pistol baby? How about eight of
the net last nine shows I've hitwinners? Another winner last night. The
only wager I have missed in nearlytwo weeks in the Play of the day

(34:58):
is Tyson Fury money line. Andthat's it. A victory for the Pirates
last night. What was the whatwas the the odds there? What was
the payout? How that worked?We were minus one twenty and I said,
if you want to minus one.I know that's almost all against the
rules. You're supposed to plus moneyplays, but I did minus one twenty.
I was a little distracted in thatsegment because of your behavior during the
segment. Uh, well, firstof all, let's let's let's put it

(35:22):
where it blogs here. Uh youstormed off the show to go buy a
car on what was that Tuesday?Like Tuesday? You say I stormed off
the show. I say, Igingerly strolled over to sign paperwork. Brian
McKenna from Mohawk han that came overand went, oh, you're on the
air. We'll you do this whenno, I'm okay, And we went

(35:44):
came back from break like right then, So I did you know the thing?
I did the show? But Irealized, I was like, you
know what, you need to knowwhat that feels like. You need to
understand that that's not okay, that'sbad behavior, not professional by me.
How not rewards your bad behavior.So yesterday I figure right where we're about
to start the play of the day. I would, I would, I

(36:06):
would repay your kindness. So Igot up and I walked off. Unlike
you, I did provide you withcontent. I texted you and Boston Dan
both that my play of the daywas at anytime home run from Aaron Judge
at plus two hundred, which paidpaid. The thing happened, and you

(36:32):
didn't even say it in the air. I did not see the text come
through. I was a bit againconfused, startled. I looked at my
phone later, and he sent likethe double exclamation points. Yeah, like
why did the actis send that?And I just completely ignored it. He's
like, acknowledge my play. Yeah, it's like, oh he texted that

(36:52):
to me during the show. Yes, Oh I did not do that during
the show. Yeah, I noticed. So I think that the ruin is
basically a draw for you, becauseit was what How's that a draw?
I submitted the play in plenty oftime. You sabotaged it willfully and knowingly

(37:15):
kept my great play away from thepeople. I didn't hear that you didn't
do it. You didn't mention later. At no point during the third hour
did you say, hey, lookback, did you have a play.
So I think you saw it andwillfully ignored it, knowing that I would
think you said it, and thenI would lose a play a big win.

(37:36):
This is where I would wish thehonorable Howard Grinder would come in and
make a ruling here of who's rightor who's wrong. However, he would
be likes me better. Well,I don't want this to go to his
court because I would lose that becauseof the details of the Honda situation from
earlier that this week could ask whydid you do it during the show?
Guys, So I feel like thatevidence could be used against me in this

(37:57):
case. It's not how cord caseit should work. That's how this one
was. We will concede the victoryto you. We will concede the plus
two hundred payoff to you. Abad play by me minus one twenty although
it did hit, and we willrecoup today. So you know what I'll
do for you the back. Iwill do this for you and the Mohawks
Chevrolet play of the Day. Iwill let you go first. I don't

(38:19):
even know here. You know what, I'll even go a step further for
you today because there is a possibilitytomorrow you may not make a play.
This could play out tomorrow because you'regonna be busy as the team president of
the Albany Firebirds tomorrow. You maynot even join us for tomorrow segment in
this spot. So I will openup the entire weekend for you here on
a Thursday. You can take tonightgames, you can take Friday, Saturday,

(38:42):
Sunday, you can take whatever playof the Monday. I'll give you
Monday a five day window. Youcan play here over two hundred and twenty
five Polints tonight Pacers Celtics over totwenty five. That's the play. Wow,
the play of the day over twotwenty five. It's gonna be a
lot of points scored, probably goingon overtime again, or the Celtics just

(39:04):
annihilate them. But he'll still beI'm startled by this. That's very off
brand for you. Usually it's apinstry parlay. I know they got after
doing action. Well, I guessthat has to be off brand because the
Knicks, the Yankees in we're movingaway from it. There's no other options
left, so that's why it's goneoff brand. Okay, over over gang
tonight, YEP, that's it.What do you do. I told you

(39:25):
yesterday and that if that line gotto eight and a half, I was
gonna absolutely pass. Do you haveit at eight and a half? Right?
I have it eight and a halfexactly right. Didn't I say eight
and a half? I thought?I said, I think it was seven
yesterday. So there's been some movementon that line. All I've got left
is hockey action. But I've beenpretty good with hockey. You know what,

(39:45):
Let's do this together. You're onthe over gang tonight. Let me
join the over gang. Let's doa little overaction in Oilers Stars tonight.
Let's do that Game one of theWestern Conference Finals. We got five and
a half up there. Yeah,let's do it over under five and a
half. Five and a half.That's gonna give me, gosh, another
minus one forty? What's going onwith me? Mine? I can't go

(40:08):
a minus one twenty and minus oneforty. All right, here's what we'll
do. We will take the Oiler'smoney line and we'll take the over so
that way we get some plus moneygoing here. So let's take the Oilers
to win Game one on the roadat plus one ten minus one forty.
You conbind that in a Parlan ifyou want, but those are my two
plays. I think that counts forplus money. All right, I'm good

(40:31):
with it. I'm good with it. You do that. I'm gonna do
my over. Ryan. Make surethat you crisk yesterday that God has tried
to hide from everyone plus two hundredthe big fello at a home run.
I wish, I wish I hadmy crystal ball work and I would have
double homers from soda last night.That would have been great. But you

(40:52):
know, I wasn't quite there atthat moment in time. I wasn't quite
prepared. I wish this was earlier. I would have I would have judged
home run again and maybe standing homerun like they both did earlier. Today,
Maybe I would have. I don'tknow. I can never tell,
because you you stole that from everyone. You stole it. I took money
out of people's pockets and you did. You did, my friend. Okay,

(41:15):
so that was your play of theday. Have you seen the We
all kind of knew it was goingto go away right then. We all
know that Scotty Scheffer thing was goingto go away somehow. Have you seen
the early stages of this going away? Sort of? But I don't know
if I'm understanding that this is thesame way you are. So there's now

(41:36):
video released of the officer, youknow, slamming Scottie Scheffler on the car
and slam. It was aggressive,wasn't I didn't feel like it was.
There's the there's the part where I'veseen the releases of slam. It depends
on whose eyes you're viewed that fromright. Let the boys be boys,
softly moved. Well, there's alittle aggression to it, a little bit

(41:59):
with a little aggress And now theyou know, chief police out there is
saying that that officer did not followa protocol and procedure, which is the
beginning of you know, the headof the PGA calling the powers that be,
the governors, the mayors, thethe local politicians around Valhalla and Louisville

(42:22):
and going, hey, do youever want another l you want LPGA?
You want a pg A? Doyou want a minor putt putt tournament?
Do you want to see a doyou ever want to see a golf club
shipped to Louisville again? If youdo make this go away, and then
you know they, uh, yeah, that's not protocol north procedure. What

(42:46):
officer angry pants did we're mad atthat person, and they they're gonna get
stern talking to how to handle thepublic just because this story was in the
news. Remember that Monroe County assemblywoman who basically dropped the altman, don't
you know who I Am? Rememberthat she went viral for that, and

(43:08):
she still felt like she wasn't makinga mistake. So someone can use that
and look at the Scottie scheffer thingand be like, Okay, so walk
me through this here. So shedid that, don't you know who I
Am? And she was penalized rightfully, so because she was so obnoxious about
it. Scottie Scheffler didn't. Somewould say he did because he blew through
it. It's still the details ofthat are still kind of hard to understand

(43:30):
of the intention of Scottie Scheffler.Did he thought he had privilege and decided
to go through the event? Didhe think I'm Scotty scheff Those probably will
never be figured out, or theymight be lawyered up to make it sound
better. Here's what I get alittle confused about. So why would someone
Okay, easy, let's say that'snot Scotty Scheffler. Let's say Scott somebody,

(43:51):
Scott Noel, All right, areyou Scott Nowelless's celebrity? You Scott
Nowell's deliberty. Let's say Scott Noelthrough and he had exactly the same thing
happened. Isn't he going to haveto serve whatever punishment's handed down. I
know he's a very powerful man,but I feel like the regular citizen would

(44:13):
have committed a crime done his time. The reason that Scheffer's getting off is
not because of his popularity, ofwho he is, or the PGA commissioner
calling. It's about what I've read, the millions of dollars it costs Louisville
of bad publicity, of traffic,of sponsorships, of when this city is
financially affected by decisions made by lawenforcement. That's when the discussion changes,

(44:36):
not the simple don't you know whoI am? Oh, it's a celebrity.
We have to let him off becausehe committed a crime. I feel
like it's almost painting too broad witha brush, right, Like, well,
it's a celebrity, you let himgo. It costs them money,
is what everyone's saying. Because ofthe whole scenario that dropped because of this.
I am I do think like alesser known person would have bigger problems

(44:59):
with this. But I also,I mean, I've heard, and I
don't know how true this is.I've heard that some golfers were directed in
I've heard that you know, hedidn't understand why he wasn't. There's also
the you know, the major nono, the I'm sorry, officer angry

(45:22):
pants. His real name is BrianGillis. Brian didn't turn his body camera
on. Well, that's the numberone like that's nowadays, that's the end
of the world, because I can'tjust take your word for it because everybody's
got a camera. You got towear the body camera both to protect the
suspect, the assailant and yourself.So there's a lot going on. Like

(45:45):
I I I think that there's enoughgoing here that the difference between it being
Scottie Scheffler and anyone else, Like, there had to be somebody who would
have a business being on the golfcourse, right because it is a crime
scene. You're not getting through there. But if somebod who had business being
on the golf course, I thinkthe biggest difference between what we're gonna see

(46:07):
right now and what we see thenis even though there's enough to make it
go away, we wouldn't hear aboutit. But because it's Scheffler, we're
gonna hear all the details. Youknow what I'd like to have going forward
because Scotty Scheffler. The biggest criticismhe's faced so far is that he's too
boring. Like this is now addingsome street cred to Scottie Scheffler. I
hope he comes out with a bandanaof the next major. I hope he's

(46:30):
basically prison Mike from the office.He's the whole Michael Scott here your boy
dominic mysterio. Maybe he ticks onthat. Remember prison dom Okay, I've
done the hard time, remember becausehe kept getting a red jail and storylines
and w W. Let's have changes. Man. I'm sure his lawyers wouldn't
agree with this, but this iswhat Scotty Scheffler needs. Embrace the bad

(46:51):
boy image. Nobody does this witha golf car quite like bad boy Scottie
Scheffler. I do. I dothink it's it is interesting him, like
even about his life, like hey, are you gonna finish this tournament?
Hey you can finish the tournament?Hey, kids, come your kids come,
your kids coming? Hey, yourkids here? Oh great, just
in time. Everything's perfect. I'llgo play a Valhalla. Nah not yet.

(47:15):
I hope Scottie Scheffler shows up witha face tattoo. That would be
the way to go. One teardrop right here. I think that's the
I mean, he should at leastdraw it off. He should do.
He should. He should roll inwith eminem in front of him like he's
showing up for a fight, youknow, like he should. It should

(47:37):
be like him and like just justthug life, you know, like whatever
the the toughest looking dudes you canfind. Where a crop top showed off
tattoo Tupac style, why did you, guys say, why did you go
crop top for tough guys? Like, how are you gonna see the thug
life tattoo? You can't have itunderneath the post shirt. Not a jack

(47:57):
open jack open jacket. Yeah rightacross the chat. The crop top is
not gonna make you a tough guy. That's where Tupac had the thug life
tat. But he didn't wear acrop tops. Raymond Stereo Dom's father had
Mexico over there. We didn't weara crop top raymisterios alive? Why I
just killed ramastereo? How did heshow off the tattoo? You didn't have
a shirt on? Just nowhere shirts? You want Scotty Chefer to go shirt
list? Then I think I thinkthe crop top was better. It's more

(48:21):
of a bad boy look from somebodywho wears a bad boy like a naughty
boy. Maybe not a bad boyfrom somebody who wears crop tops once in
a while and who also is abad boy. This is this is in
my lane here. Pardon me,Yeah, I'm raising my hand. When
they start as crop tops or arethey full t shirts that you just don't
pay attention to? And they slowlyrise up like they're on a Homer Simpson,

(48:45):
I would say they're custom crop tops. You've been on trips with me.
I just slowly raised the shirt Up'slike it's almost like an intrusion.
What like we share a room,we'll get off a flight, we'll go,
we'll go eat den, We getthrough the room, and like as
soon as he sits on the bedto watch TV, the shirt finds its

(49:06):
way up like to just below hisman his man boobs, like right there,
I don't have man boots. Yeah, I have breasts. Everyone has
breasts. Here these are forgot whatbody part it's called. Here? You
need to start wearing a man's earpacked pectoral the pee. This is where
your pecks are right here. Pectoralpectoral Muscle's what it's called. Build mine.

(49:28):
I'm like Winnie the Pooh. Okay, get nice and comfy. I
have occasionally have pants. If youstop wearing pants, we have a problem.
You're just gonna pooh bear it allover the place. Here. Is
that what you're gonna do? Yeah, that crop top thing is it's not
Scottie Scheffler call me do it athome? Do you do it at home?
I don't do it at home asmuch. I've children now, I
don't want them to like think,so why do I have to deal with

(49:50):
it? I don't want my kidsshowing up to school with a crop top
on. And it's you know,the kids lay on me when they go
to sleep. They got a lotof hair. It's moved on. I've
moved on from that. There's toomuch. You still do it every time
we travel. Well, that's somethingyou're gonna have to live with. I'm
gonna stop traveling. Travel it outyou. I know when you travel the

(50:14):
vac you sleep well. Though Ithought this is one of the things.
So me is a conscientious good friendwho, like you know what, I
snore really loud. I need todo something about that, not just for
me, but for people around me. I'm gonna go see doctor Fred Dreer,
the diplomat of dental sleep medicine.I'm gonna get a mouthpiece. It's
gonna keep my it's gonna reduce mysnoring. It's gonna keep my sleep abne

(50:37):
under control, which is gonna bekemy health so much better. He's taking
a picture of himself with the croptop right now, im s looking with
it. I haven't seen it ina while. I haven't really wanted good
snapchat. That's private. And againthat anyway, that's not that's a polo,
that's not a craptop. But youknow, the mouthpieces for me,
because when you have sleep abnue allyou don't really sleep, You're you're you're
groggy, you have trouble, youdoze off to our meetings. I used

(51:00):
to doze off during this show,partially because of God's the other half was
my sleep avenue. But now Iget the mouthpiece and it has made everything
so much better. There's a newtech coming out. So I got a
brand new mouthpiece today that is justhit the market and it's it's amazing.
Like I we were trying it inand it was a little tight in the
first one, but it was comfortable. It was so crazy, But it's

(51:21):
gonna keep my airway open. I'mgonna sleep better, uh snore less.
I'm fired up. Doctor fred Dreyerand the Integrave Sleep Center, Emboss and
Spot helped me sleep better, gonnahelp you sleep better. Two five,
one eight eight eight five six oneeight five. Uh it was it our
number three? Yeah, I rememberthree. I'm confused by something's happening in
college athletics if sort of has aneffect on you, albny when you think

(51:42):
about it. We'll explain that andmore, and I number three live BAC
next on Fox Sports Radio ninety five, nine and nine eighty. Yes,
all right,
