One of the four biggest stories inthe world of sports. It is brought
to you by Mohawk Honda, wherethey always bought of their way to please
you. Guys. What's the fourthbiggest story? Today's Thursday, May thirtieth,
twenty twenty four. Sometimes with theseweird breaks, we have to remind
everybody the date, in what yearit is, what time of the week
it is. We'll start a storynumber four. The New York Mets host
(00:21):
the Arizona Diamondbacks, the reigning defendingNational League A champion Diamondbacks. It's a
seven to ten first pitch set forthat one in City Field. Wellvac h.
We've covered this in Hour number onestorylines involving the Mets, mister Jorge
Lopez and more. Do you feellike the results of Lopez's alleged meltdown and
(00:42):
now being designated for assignment and howif it all's affected the Mets clubhouse and
team will show signs of that inthe matchup tonight against the Diamondbacks. Oh
man, all right, let merephrase, I don't know if that was
poorly working, it could have unifiedthem a little bit, because they did
come together to make the decision butit's it's I guess you got to look
(01:07):
at it one of one of twoways, right, So it's a player's
decision that we couldn't. We're notgonna tolerate that stuff. It's not gonna
happen. But does that undermind themanager in some way that he's not the
one who went no, nope,nope, nope, we're not gonna do
it. Uh, I don't know, if I I don't think that probably
plays the factor of the manager.Here's how I probably should have phrased it
instead, because like, let's saythe Mexico out tonight, lose the game
(01:29):
five to four to Arizona and theyend up playing well, but they have
an error. Okay, big errorhappens in the game. Wow, you
know Lopez is in his head whenhe made that error. Now that's not
I mean, it's almost too easyof a correlation, like, wow,
they made a defensive play that costsin the game, probably because the Lopez
right. It gets too easy todraw the correlation between a off the I
(01:49):
guess technically on the field in theclubhouse, on the field incident that affected
the team and the team doesn't playwell, So it has to be because
of that, Baseball seems like theleast likely of any sport to have that
happen. Yeah, football might bebecause of assignments and strategy and formations.
Hockey the same thing with line shiftsbasketball because of the role Baseball it's like,
(02:09):
okay, it's not in the lineup. Is he gonna feel the ground
or is he gonna be there?Like it's it's not that same type of
scenario. It doesn't happen like thatwhere you've already got a different game plan
for the next day of what couldhappen. So I would say it won't
play a factor unless body language isterrible, someone's screaming at somebody in the
dugout, someone throws another glove,someone else is misinterpreted. That would be
(02:34):
a real storyline. But I don'tsee that happening. I don't know.
You know what it really comes downto, was he right? Are think
the worst team in the MLB?No? No, no, no,
They're not the worst team. I'dsay the White Socks are worse. I'd
say the Angels are worse, theRockies are worse. But like that's it.
The definition of ouch. The definitionof worse sometimes is like you should
(02:55):
be better than them, but you'renot Peter A. Lonzo's banged up edwhen
Diaz is banged up now and mentallyand physically, I I you know what,
I'm gonna hope that this is arallying moment. I'm gonna hope that
this is something where the players cometogether and go that was embarrassing. Let's
never let that happen to us again. Bra Ra go team. Here's a
(03:16):
stat. Only one team tonight inbaseball, and even including the afternoon action
is taking the field tonight with lesswins in twenty twenty four, just one
team than the New York Mets,and that team is the Angels. They
host the Yankees tonight with a nineto thirty eighth first pitch out in California.
Carlos verro Don on the mound forthe Yankees, Patrick Sondoval on the
(03:38):
mound for the Angels, Like thisis one of the most difficult series to
kind of figure out, right,Like we've seen in division series that are
also kind of most of the timegonna be fifty to fifty or sixty forty
because teams are so frequent against eachother, sometimes you see odd plays and
odd injuries. Happen in a baseballseries, but the Yankees didn't win the
first one against the Angels. Somewould consider it maybe on the pitching in
(04:01):
that game. Again, then it'sa two to one battle. Last night,
less than four combined runs, lessthan ten combined hits vallpay again being
a storyline, he's been a reallygood see this is an odd series.
It felt like it was gonna belike the White Sox series, right like
where New York pounded the Angels.It has not been like that so far.
Uh Man. I the the waythat this, I feel like you're
(04:30):
insulting. You try to insult theYankees like covertly I do. Is it
a passive aggressive insult that I feellike it? And and like at least
I pay you the respect of beingaggressively aggressive when I go after your orioles.
The way the game started last nightwas weird, right like did you
see any of it? I wasasleep, okay in field fly Yet they
(04:53):
still call Soto out because he bumpsinto the second basement, but the second
baseman did not leave him anywhere togo to get to the back. Boone
begins to argue the fact they throwBoone out the bench manager's in charge.
Now he continues to argue. Theylet him argue with they don't kick him
out. And then I feel likeI was confused for like five innings,
and maybe the Yankees were too,That's what I think happened. And then
(05:14):
finally, you know, verdu goeshome run and that really crazy. You
know, Vulpig gets another hit.Twenty one straight games and they scores you
know, from third. No moreWest Coast start times for me. Okay,
I'll watch the replay. I'll getmy MLB app going. All right,
I'll fire that baby up. Let'sthat's easy on these nine to forty
first pitches. I gotta get upearly. Let's wife's up at four thirty
working out. She's pregnant. Whatwas she doing? Go back to bed?
(05:36):
Wow, you could have a workout. Whether she loved that. I
gotta watch the kids. Okay,that's my duty. Someone has to stay
in bed and kids in case theywake up. Wait, so you keep
sleeping, but you're watching the kids. Yeah, if they wake up,
make the noises, I'll get up. No oblay, Oh, Darius,
it's a nap in Spanish, that'syesterday, right, see, yes it
(05:59):
is that's oh, who's bilingual.Now let's move on to story number two.
Here here you we can throw afiesta in here because you're a full
of dukie and I don't know whatthe word for dukie is. It's been
deuce. Mavericks Timberwolves eight thirty tipoff set tonight in Minnesota, Game five
of the Western Conference Finals of DallasWednesday night. The Western Conference Finals are
(06:20):
over. We can dive deeper intothis later in this hour, maybe coming
up next, maybe in the playof the day. We like to keep
you guessing when you listen to thefacing guys. Uh, my storyline throughout
this Western Conference Finals as much asI want to shake it off, much
like Taylor Swift reference here, Yeah, I want it to be about Anthony
Edwards. I wanted to be aboutthe Timberwolves, but this has always been
about Kyrie. You've watched and listenedto me talk about my slow disdain for
(06:45):
Luca. It's every play I wanttonight. I want you to do this.
If you're watching Mavericks Timberwolves, let'sget a live Luca complaint thread going
well back. It's gotta be ninetypercent of the calls he complains about I
mean, look, you want tocomplain once ninety percent any time a whistle's
blown against Luca, he's complaining.So you've heard me go on that rant.
(07:08):
Mavericks Timberwolves tonight. Any storylines jumpingout to you or do you want
to save this for a little laterin this hour as well? I'll give
you a brief overview. I believethat if Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony Towns
decide to win this game, theywill. That's what I believe. When
Edwards plays Luca, Luca plays worse. So I think they it's up to
(07:31):
them if they want to go outthere and play like they have been playing
at home none. If they wantto go out there and play like the
last game, they can win thisgame. Move on to start number one.
There's the chance that the New YorkRangers and Florida Panthers could go to
a Game seven. But before thathappens, you gotta do game five,
and you gotta do game six andgame fives. Tonight, eight o'clock puck
(07:54):
drop, Madison Square, Guarned Panthersand Rangers. Zuoit again. You know,
I like to sometimes talk in hyperor beliefs. Sometimes gives stuff too
much credit. I want to labeleverything when it comes to sports. This
is pacing to be. You canfactor in all this series in the NBA
playoffs, all this series in theNHL playoffs. They used to it with
the SP's right. You used togive away the best game of the year
(08:15):
and everything else with overtime finishes,game winning goals, the opportunity to go
back to the Stanley Cup for Florida. For the talk of the Rangers,
everyone keeps talking about ninety four,but they had a Stanley Cup appearance against
the Kings more recent than that.This has shaping out to be the best
series in the postseason in any professionalsport so far. And I know Baseball's
is still to come. I knowfootball stecis in twenty twenty three, but
(08:37):
twenty four in January. That's howgood Panthers Rangers has been. And I
hope we get Game five like thattonight. I hope it's a blowout for
the Rangers. I don't want todeal with it. I know I'm nervous.
I'm not sure who has the momentum. Like That's the weirdest thing is
almost every game series race thing.Whatever you can you can follow the momentum,
(09:01):
you know, and and don't giveme the sterling momentum is only as
long as the next day is starting. Pitcher like, no, Like you
can kind of see in these serieswhen somebody's taking over and it changes during
games or whatever. But I thoughtwith the two straight overtime victories, the
Rangers were like, all right,we see what you're doing. We can
(09:22):
do better than you. We gotyou. And then all of a sudden
the Panthers like did their their styleof play and it worked and they went
in overtime. So I do notwant a close game I wanted. I
want seven to one Rangers is whatI'd like, and I'd like that to
be the score by the end ofthe second period. Please, I think
(09:45):
that's unlikely. I didn't say whatwas likely. I said what I wanted.
Okay, maybe you're spending a littletoo much time with the Spanish.
You don't understand English anymore. Okay, starting to get angry in here.
Do you know what the language oflove is? Someone say Spanish? Chi
ching, I was French. Actuallylet me. I ask you the question,
just didn't give you a second torespond to it because you knew where
(10:09):
you wanted to go. You wantedto go where all guys should go when
they want to express their feelings.Lillian David Find Julius the shops at Wilton.

(16:27):
five to nine Fox Sports Radio,just a little while ago, we are
talking about our good friends over atLilli and David Fine Jewelers to do a
phenomenal job. I actually gotta getit just clicked me. My daughter has
my mother had an open bracelet.My daughter has it with the class keeps
breaking. I keep telling her wegotta go up Toillian David keep forgetting.
(16:49):
But in that while we were talkingabout that, you you were explaining this
to me how someone thought it wasan idea for you to chaperone a date.
Yeah, we were choking around that, like if you're gonna go into
Lily and David Fine Jewelers, wereoffering you the advice if you just got
a relationship of like what you shoulddo. I was given the play by
play of everything, and I waslike, wow, I actually did this
before. So this article is stillout there, by the way, on
(17:11):
Syracuse dot com. One of myold stations back in Syracuse ninety three Q,
the Hall of Famers Ted and Amywould run five dates in five days
contest so the contestant so basically yeah, basically like a bachelor Bachelorette style,
five locations in central New York.But they needed chaperones. And here's where
it got really weird and creepy.They didn't tell the people that there would
(17:33):
be chaperones. Wait what so andthen you stocked a date. So in
this scenario, Mike Koshan was thecontestant that year, So Mike was going
on these dates and Charlie and ICharlie actually a Sarah took a resident had
to do the straight meme of likethe guy hiding behind the bush. So
now imagine Charlie, who's like probablysix four six' five, let's be
(17:57):
honest, he was a big pothead, like just that look. And then
me young bright faced guys, justhappy to be in radio. Hey,
I get a free dinner. Thisis awesome. And then just imagine those
two behind like potted plants, liketwo boosts over hiding behind and you you
could imagine me at twenty four,twenty five, just like so excited to
(18:18):
be a part of this. Youcan imagine imagine now me just like leaning
over. What are they doing?What are they both talking about? All
right, let me let me understand. So it was so he's the contestant.
Yes, he gets he gets toor he goes on five dates with
five men. Wait what Yes?It was the first version of the gay
version of The Bachelor. Okay,okay, okay, so the Grinder Bachelor.
(18:41):
Yeah, and the why were youthere? I needed to make sure
everything went well. They didn't tellthem that they just saw two guys also
behind bushes, staring at him.So the one dude who's the actual contestant
who goes on all five dates,he just randomly the same two dudes keeps
showing up everywhere he goes, andhe never like goes Huh, I wonder
(19:06):
what's going on over there. Ididn't know him very well. I guess
maybe maybe he didn't know who Iwas and I didn't realize it. And
the payoff is he picks his favoritedate and they get they get to another
date, they continued a date.Yeah, that's it. That's all.
There wasn't a great payoff. Notthinking about out loud and what were like
what like if something wrong? Whatwe what were you guys gonna do?
That part? They never really toldme, which now concerns me talking this
(19:30):
out loud, Like did they thinkone of the people was going to attack
Mike? Did they think they'd bea fight? Did they think they'd rob
them? I don't know why weactually had to go. Was it like
a legal thing? Probably? Imean I guess I was wondering where you
guys, like, were you guyslike surveillance? Where you did you reporn
on the date the next day?No, they didn't even use me for
the hit the next morning. Iwas just there to make sure everything was
(19:51):
okay. What is it? Whywas I there? Why did they make
Did I even get paid for this? I think now thinking about this out
loud, I think I figure atthe side, I think I figured it
out too go ahead. I thinkCharlie was the sales rep. He almost
traded out these spots for the locationsright, and he knew he wanted to
go on a date with you.No, no, no, so he
(20:12):
took you on five dates. Ithink he would have thought it was weirder
with one guy by himself on fiveconsecutive dates staring at these guys. So
he brought me, knowing I wasgoing to take a free meal because I
was young, and said free meal, I could be part of a cool
radio event. Of course, I'min schell. How long did you and
Charlie date? Charlie and I neverdated. I wasn't physical. It sounds
(20:36):
to me after years of radio,as though this great idea comes together,
and then a second great idea ofa seasoned veteran sales salesman goes, I
can also go on a date withthis young man, And there there you
had it. You were on dates. Good for you man, You little
you, little, you, littlechippy. I'm reading target reading bios now.
(21:00):
Tim enjoyed sports and cooking, describedto himself as chill, easy going
and silly. Maybe I should havebeen watching some of these guys. He
loves restaurants. In ninety three Qbest dog ever named Oscar, these guys
sounded all these years that we thoughtthe only person you ever dated was your
(21:22):
beautiful life Jordan, And it turnsout you had a five date relationship with
a guy named Charlie. That theywere nice restaurants, right they were.
Charlie was trying to woo you,you little chippy. Well, my wife
was living at Unicut at the point, I'm starting to realize, Charlie,
I don't think we dated. Ithought he was dating a girl. Charlie
(21:45):
was in a relationship at that point. Charlie's calling his friends. I don't
know, he's such a prude.We have so much fun together. You
don't even kiss me. It's thefourth day, and I kept paying for
all of them, just looking atthe other guys at the other table.
I'm right here, guys all thistime. Charlie's like, I don't know
what happened. I thought the onethat got away old Tommy boy. But
(22:07):
anyone knows Charlie from Saratoga. Weused to work in radio sales. He
could believe he moved to North Carolina, but he could be in Saratoga for
his life. He's like, Isaid, I'm moving, I'm starting fresh.
Un Noses lastly starts with an fIf you're wondering, it's said,
I can't if I can't get this, I can't get this poor radio kid
to pay attention to me. Whatam I What are my chances? What
am I gonna do next? Dareyou say you all said to go through
(22:30):
this in your career? Yeah?Mine went way, very way different.
I was nothing like that. Itwas was I don't remember the names,
so I guess that helps a littlebit. Wasn't Charlie, No, No,
wasn't Charlie. It was unpicked.The morning show at the time did
a a second Chance I think hecalled a Loser prom and like god,
(22:55):
yeah, and it was. Itwas a big party and everything. And
what they did is they took thesaddest dude story for like why you're broken
up with the saddest woman's story whileyou're broken up, and the winners became
the king and Queen of the prom. The queen of the prom was a
very very attractive young blonde woman.I was a mildly attractive young brunette man.
(23:19):
My job was to make sure shewas comfortable that night. I stayed
off in the wings. She didn'twant me to stay in the wings.
So what do you mean we lefttogether. I drove her home like a
gentleman at her house. Yeah,gentleman doesn't tell No, we actually became
friends. We were friends for awhile after that. Yours is way better
(23:41):
than mine? Are you kidding me? I don't know. Dude, bought
it out. You were you werein a relationship you never were in.
Kind of neat, that's kind ofcool. You took the prom queen home.
Yeah, and the station supported you. And then well, I mean
when they weren't thrilled because the promking was not thrilled that she kept coming
over to me whenever he said anything. But it was a different time,
(24:02):
it's different place. Everybody's doing it, everybody. That's just I mean,
like, dude, to find outyou've been secretly on five dates,
I mean, that's gotta be isthat that would be the second longest relationship
in your life? Right? Yeah? I guess so, Yeah, I
think it would be. You knowwhat, here's what we're gonna do.
Look, that has just confessed hisprom queen hookups. I've slowly realized that
(24:22):
maybe it wasn't about Mike and theBachelor. As I realized that went on
five dates with Charlie Crely double dates, so you didn't know. I wondering
why we were so close to them, but also behind plants. Uh.
If you're listening on the iHeart app, by the way, there's a speak
your mind option, like you canhit the microphones. If you're listening live
on the app right now, justtap that microphone and you can leave a
(24:44):
thirty second message to us and youcan confess if this has happened to you.
Maybe you've been in a relationship youdidn't realize, Maybe you were secretly
gay. I don't know what's goingon in your life. Maybe you had
to chaperone dates. Maybe you tookthe prom queen hop. I don't know
what's happened, but I promise youthis, we will not judge you.
We will see your phone number,but we won't judge. I would love
to play more of these messages atsome point. If you do it during
(25:07):
the show, maybe we could squeezeit in the next segment. I can't
promise that, but we might comeback to this one day. Maybe Charlie
will be found in Saratoga. There'sa lot of things. Charlie, where
have you been? Why would youcall? Why did you move to North
Carolina. Let's talk about Mohawkanda.They will always go out of the way
to please you. They will alwaystake care of you. I love my

(29:47):
one thing. I just I'm alittle upset with our buddy of the Cardinal
right now. As you know,I have I have been a proponent.
I have an idea want to bethe Bachelor because I think it's stupid,
like I think the bachelors, TheBachelor and the Bachelor are stupid. Oh,
I'm beautiful and successful. I'm trouble. I have trouble finding a date.
(30:10):
You just know you're an idiot,Like like we should do the Bachelor.
This has been a show I've beentrying to sell for years. Instead
of roses, it's chicken wings,you know what I mean. And take
a fat guy like everybody goes,but they have a great personality. I
do like, I'm sorry, I'mI'm fun to be around. Get thirty
smoke shows in a house with meand see if I can win one over.
(30:33):
That's that's a fun show The Bachelor, right, Ryan goes, after
hearing that crazy story this is onX. Does that mean that Goaz was
the o g Facheler. I willtell you this right now, Goz was
always in phenomenal shape and still hestarted started hanging out with me because guys
(30:56):
got a puffy will say after hangingout with me, I still wouldn't call
guy's fat. No, I wouldsay I'm in fine shape right now.
That's not true either, but fine, But you insulting Ryan? Was that
was? That was hurtful? Ryan? Go say some prayers? Ryan?
Okay? Yeah, how dare you? Yeah? You know, guys was
(31:18):
not the original Fachelor either. Therecan be only one. It will be
me whoever we finally get together CoreyGriwach Oh my Gasi, I wonder if
that's what Charlie used to say.Oh my gosh. He also wants to
know if Jordan is okay with this. Oh my gosh, what is no
(31:41):
the kids are yours? Well,Corey's going in? What has happened over
the Cory's going in? Cory andRyan have turned on me? Yeah,
was there some jealousy with Charlie?That's what I want to know now,
you know what, I'm a littleconcerned with those two. Remember remember the
first time that Corey hung out,he pretended to be you. So there
is a little maybe there's a littlesingle white female going on with Corey from
(32:04):
Greenwich. This is why I couldn'tbe contestant on that show because they probably
never saw this coming. Maybe theywanted to be contestants on the twenty fourteen
or twenty fifteen version. I don'tknow. They both turned on me.
You know what, I'm gonna finishthrough this hour. I'm still gonna give
a play of the Day today.I'm gonna power through it all. We
know now we know you're the player, because what's up? You got those
meals? Y'ah, they're getting y'ah, they're getting that, getting that taken
(32:27):
care of stuff going on. Thankyou, I think you know what New
York sports fans are gonna enjoy myplay tonight. This is the play today,
thanks to Mohawk Chevrolet. Well thatyou've taught me this, and this
is a very important lesson. Iknow people come in and out of the
show. This might be the firsttime they listen to that show. Uh,
here's one thing I've learned. Thisis the best advice I can ever
(32:49):
offer anybody when it comes to sportswagering. And I may have said that
a few times, so this istrue. Wager against the storyline. One
of my favorite examples. Two ofthe best examples. Week one of the
NFL season. You've heard this athousand times. Whatever team you think is
going to be the worst, they'regoing to cover week one. It happens
all the time college football Week zero. Week one, people bet names oh
(33:12):
USC, Penn State, Michigan becauseI don't know the players yet, so
bet against big names in Week oneof college football. Bet the worst teams
in the NFL because everyone's betting thestorylines. We see this happen a lot
in the NFL. Levac nail theJets bet. I think it's one of
your best bets of the season.When you nail the outright money line call
the Jets taking down the Eagles whenthe Eagles were the hottest team in the
NFL. Thank you so wager againstthe storyline that leads to this Mets plus
(33:37):
one oh five, seven to tentonight against the Diamondbacks. We led the
show talking about Jorge Lopez. Ihad to defend his honor. If you
miss that, it's on Apple andSpotify and the iHeart app. Please bet
it's on the bilingual part of theshow. Some have been calling it one
of the I don't know how wecall that funniest, oddest, strangest segments
and maybe ever open the show's historygo back and listen to that. But
because the storyline ISA is my favorite, I'm the show went rogue. The
(34:01):
show itself went rogue, and Iwas okay with it because everyone thinks the
Mets stink and most likely the publicmoney is going against the Mets. Give
me the Mets plus one oh fivetonight against the Diamondbacks. I love that.
I like your logic. I likethe logic there. I am going
to support one of your crushes.I'm going to do a three teamer.
(34:24):
So this is three plays from thesame game. I'm going to take the
Timberwolves. I'm gonna lay the five. I'm gonna go under thirty and a
half for Luca points over twenty eightand a half points for Anthony Edwards.
I think the Tea Wolves prolong this. I think the reason they prolong it
is Anthony Edwards outplays Luca. Dongiving that. So you're going under Luca
(34:47):
over Anthony Edwards and most the firstpart of that Timberwolves, I'll lay the
five. They're gonna win by morethan five. What's the paod on that
plus three seventy? Gosh, you'rewelcome. You like it a little bit,
huh? I like the last two. I like the Luca under and
over for Anthony Edwards. Now that'sa very hard play by me. So
(35:08):
you've heard me rip apart Lucas sooften. I want Anthony Edwards with Anthony
Edwards doing the chest out, lookat us, we're gonna come back.
We're not backing at michaeh Parsons.You wear I'll bring you a pair,
will come back. The odd partabout Anthony Edwards's game, and I don't
know if this is just a highbasketball IQ. I don't know if this
is just how he's been coached.There's something about Anthony Edwards not being aggressive
(35:30):
enough on offense, and I knowthat's an odd thing to say when you
see his head above the rim dunkingon people. But I've watched players like
Tracey McGrady, Kobe, and evenJordan faced this criticism a little less than
Lebron. Lebron's actually criticism was theopposite way of when you're the best score,
best athlete on the team, youwant to hog the ball. Russell
(35:51):
Westbrook may be the king of Kingsof this of I'm the best athlete.
I'm gonna take over the game.I'm gonna take the game winning shot and
all the shots Russell Westbrook. Again, he's average double EDGIIT assists, but
that was his big Anthony Edwards isn'treally like that. He's more Lebron than
all the other guys they just listed. I would like to see him take
over a game and go for likefifty and maybe tonight's the night where it's
(36:12):
like, you know what, watchwhat I can do. I can be
just as good, if not betterthan Luca and Kyrie. So in a
way, I'm I'm saying what you'resaying, but on the same way because
the reason I picked it the wayI picked it is he made Luca's night
hell when he played defense on him. So I think if he can keep
Luca under that thirty and a halfand he scores thirty plus, that makes
(36:34):
him like his plus minus. Idon't know what it'll really be, but
that's how I'm counting his plus minus. Let's say Luca scores twenty five,
he scores forty five, I'm givento a plus twenty, you know what
I mean. Like, I'm inon that. I think he's I think
he has the ability to will thisteam to victory if he can bring Karl
Anthony Towns with him. He needsto play so well and be so hyped
(36:54):
up that so is Carl Anthony Townsbecause we've seen that dude just go to
sleep on the court. Basically,we did an early look ahead on this
game on yesterday's show when we werebreaking down what happened in Game four and
looked forward to Game five, andI set out loud. I said,
if I had to guess a lineI wouldn't want to touch. I believe
I said five and a half yesterday, and if it was five and a
(37:15):
half, I would pass. Ifit got to six and a half,
I would have really liked Dallas.But if it got to four and a
half, I probably would still pass. But lean towards Dallas. I'm probably
more towards pass today. I knowI was gonna think about maybe taking that
game. But if I do,here's what, here's what I'll give you
this livic Oh gosh, I can'tdo it. I would have loved to
(37:37):
play this, and I know thisdoesn't exist. The Luca Anthony Edwards parlay
together yep, and then in gamesomething like hope that Dallas is down eight
and they come back, or likeseeving it like a plus two ten or
two thirty two in the game.But there's too many vary bills that are
moving to combine that, so thatwon't happen. You know, you overthink
(37:57):
it too. That's when that's whenthings get messed up. I just I
think tonight, I think that's gonnabe a fun game. I do think
I think Minnesota will get to win, keep this thing going a little bit.
I don't I don't necessarily believe they'rebetter than Dallas, like I did
before this the series started. ButI do believe they have the potential to
play better than Dallas, which youknow, any given day or whatever.
(38:19):
But I just I heard some Iheard. I heard some really compelling arguments
about Anthony Edwards' ability to play defense, uh, and what he was able
to, you know, slow downand and make Luca's night difficult. And
let's let's take a look at thosepersonalities. I think. I think it's
one of those situations where those twoguys have the ability to raise you up
(38:42):
or pull you down. Like ifif Anthony Edwards goes out there and he's
dunking from the foul line and he'she's chirping and he's doing it, I
think, if I'm a member ofthat team, if I'm like Conley,
if I'm Karl Anthony Towns to gobeart, I'm going, let's all right,
let's go, let's roll with him. If Luca goes out there and
he's frustrating and he's saying swearing underhis breath, and really I could see
(39:04):
the rest of the Dallas team,with the exception of Kyrie going uh huh,
Lucas not happy means we in trouble. Yesterday I took the under and
Astros Mariners, and a lot ofpeople hate the under bet because you're rooting
for no action. But it feelslike weather conditions in football. It might
be a fun play the Big Tenwith Iowa constantly putty punting match, they're
putt putt golf playing their offense actuallymight have been better with that. But
(39:28):
you know, I'm gonna make thisdeclaration about baseball unders. They're the worst.
I know the Mariners want on awalk off hit yesterday to beat Houston
two to one. Gosh, that'snot as fun. Baseball overplays are much
more fun. And if you haveto bet an under at Eddy Sport it
is definitely the worst to watch.Is baseball hockey you get it against some
great defense, great saves. No, baseball unders are not fun plays.
(39:52):
They're a little better now that theyspeed up the game. Oh yeah,
a little better. Well, itgoes along, and having Kirby on the
mat always helps with that too.This might be a new trend on this
segment. By the way, maybeyou might have to lead with this from
now on. I am fascinated.I'm curious because you love your pin tray
parlay and yesterday, and I talkedabout how if you play five Pinstray parlays
in one week and one hits andyou're at plus five hundred your plus for
(40:14):
the week, I'm gonna ask youevery time you don't play Pinstray parlay why
not? Is it because you don'tlike the numbers? Is it because you're
nervous? Oh? And okay,I just didn't use this when play the
other day. His reaction was meholding up my phone the way you can
see that. I took the Yankeesmoney line, Volpe Soto and Judge All
the record a hit plus two thirtysix. Man, you don't have to
(40:36):
always take it, but I justwas curious, and I probably will always
ask you that question. I usuallylike it's, you know, full disclosure.
It's generally a five to ten dollarswager. Ten if I feel really
really strong about it. Five ifyou know. I know I'm gonna watch
the game obviously, so I justwant to be in on it. I
(40:57):
just want to just want to wrapmy arms around the Yankees like chaperone of
the day with them, you know, just get in there and show us
some love. I won't do anymore today. I'll stop right there.
I'm sorry. No, it's finebecause you and I did. I see
what Nineties Kid Uh, Tom guyswas more prepared for the same sex dating
(41:20):
than he was today's show. Idon't like how funny he is. He's
on it today. Many have veryfunny people who contribute to this show.
We did credit to the end ofevery show today. He would be like
guest writer Nineties Kid on X.I love the people who listen to the
(41:42):
show, whether you're listening, whetheryou're contributing, whether you're coming. Called
it the Players of the Day insteadof Player of the Day after the date
segment. All right, redemption forRyan. Right there? There we go.
So we both passed on Panthers Rangers. Yeah, either one of us
touched them. Huh. I'm justh you know, dude, they gonna
be perfectly honest with you. Thereis a certain amount of care freness to
(42:06):
my wagering when it's not football.But I just don't really know enough about
hockey. Like I know, Iwant the Rangers to win. I enjoy
watching them win. I feel likethey're gonna win, But I don't know
enough to put real, real cabbageon it, you know, because it's
just I don't think it's responsible,Like if we are going, oh,
hell yeah, I'd have money onthe Rangers, but I gotta, I
(42:28):
gotta, I gotta be responsible.I'm going The reason I passed on Rangers
Panthers is because there are certain games, believe it or not, in sports,
whatever sport. It might be hockey, football, baseball, basketball,
where yeah, it's always great tohave a little bit of juice and investment
and rooting interest. This series hasbeen so good. Obviously people are rooting
for the Rangers. We're in allbut it's the capital region. But this
(42:49):
has been so much fun where sometimesyou might get frustrated by your wager and
just not actually enjoy what's going onout there. A lot of uh is
it JP and Glenville. I thinkit's him who said, like, I
don't wager as much as you guystalk about wagering because it takes away something
for me. I know, Steve. I think it's Stephen and ee screen
but said that to this one timetoo. He's like, guys at love
when you talk wagering, it's notmy thing. But I enjoy certain matchupes
(43:10):
with nothing on the line that feelslike that if you had no rooting interest
in Panthers Rangers, and you're gonnaget a double overtime game tonight, or
a last second goal with three minutesto go, and they're so even,
they're so close. You could pickabout seven, eight nine things that can
happen in that matchup tonight and belike, I'm not surprised because it's in
that type of series. No agreed, I agree. I will tell you,
(43:31):
man, I don't know like Ifeel dialed in today. I feel
laser focused today. Maybe maybe that'swhy I was able to pick up on
some things that have slipped past youfor the last you know, twenty years
or whatever the hell it's been.But that's that's because of a great night's
sleep. You forget, especially youright now with your child situation. You
forget how powerful it is to becompletely arrested, eyes open, and you're
(43:55):
like, this is where I belong. I belong upright and moving, not
on the pill. And that's lastnight. So, as you guys know,
I go to the Integrative Sleep Centerwith doctor Fredreer. I have been
going there for years. It's beena massive help. I remember my sleep
study. I remember finding out thatI had severe sleep at me. I
(44:15):
stopped breathing multiple times every night.I remember all of it. But we
we found me a new mouthpiece.It's like a new it's like state of
the art. And Doctrier text meyesterday like, hey, how is the
mouthpiece. I was like, well, you know, it's this, it's
I think it's helping whatever. Hegoes, make this small adjustment, move
this one notch, so I'm like, that's okay, it's the tiny stotch
okay whatever. You're the diplomat ofdental sleep medicine, you probably know what
(44:37):
you're talking about. Bro. Itwas like a trank dart. I felt
like ace Ventura like fo darts.I was out. I woke up this
morning right before my alarm and Iwas like, I feel great, Like
I don't need coffee today, Idon't need C four today. I'm ready.
And it's because of the mouthpiece.Doctoryer taking the time to go,
(44:57):
hey, try this, and it'sbeen amazing. And they'll do that for
you. They'll they'll be there foryou. This is sure. I'm I've
become good friends with doctor Dreer LorianIvy ever been in the office. But
that's because they're helping me sleep.I mean, I'll take it. I
will take a track dart if youhelp me sleep. But they're just they're
really good people, and this mouthpiece. It could be the big life change
you're looking for. Eight eight fivesix five six five Doctor Fred Dreer and
(45:22):
the Integrave Sleep Center and bass andspa helping me sleep better. They're gonna
help you sleep better too. Youwant to get an early start on the
third hour since this has gone sowonky so far today, Yeah, I
kind of do want to get anearly Jim. We're throw some people off
