Sports nine eighty ninety five point nine. Fact It's time for the Top four
four with Levac and guys. Oneof the four biggest stories in the world

(00:20):
of sports is brought to you byour good friends over at Mohawk Condor or
the those got on the way.Please you top four or four, guys,
what's the fourth biggest story? I'vebeen noticing throughout the show today,
whether it be via social media,private messages, or is just text messages,
A lot of people are wearing out. That shame, shame, shame,
gift to me about not being Yousay wearing out, I say the

(00:41):
appropriate amount of usage. The lovelyuh Hannah Wattingham uh from Game of Thrones.
What a talented woman she is?Also from Ted Last. Yeah,
most people know are from Ted Last. Shame shame, shame on us for
not doing this on Friday show.Connor McGregor out. The Fight at UFC

(01:02):
three zero three is officially off forJune twenty ninth in Las Vegas. Levac
Israel out OFSNIA announced that his selfimposed retirement that he said he'll be done
until twenty twenty seven is now doneas well on a Saani's schedule to fight
this August. But I think moreof the focus, unless you disagree,
he's on the end of McGregor Chandler. You and I called this about two

(01:23):
weeks ago. I think everybody whofollows mixed martial arts in the UFC all
saw videos of McGregor not training andthen the odd like no, no,
no, it's still on. Wellwhy is it off the website? What
website? No? No, no, don't look over here. Well,
Connor McGregor suffered a quote injury duringtraining. He told everyone he could be
back in October, yet no timelineis set. All right, we'llvac two

(01:44):
questions here. One what do youmake of the fight actually being officially taken
off the board for later this month? And two do you think McGregor's ever
gonna fight again? Uh? Forone ago? Boo, No, you
knew. I mean, dude,I think McGregor's become the guy who he's
still he still wants to fight,like he still want but then he realizes,

(02:07):
like, okay, to train theway I trained when I was the
top fighter in the world. Ithat's I don't want to do that.
One two. As embarrassing as itis to say I'm not gonna fight,
it's way more embarrassing and my facepunched in by Michael Chandler, uh,
and I don't want to do that. So I think I think part of

(02:30):
what he's doing right now is he'strying to stay relevant in the fight world
even though he's reached that level offame that if he wants to become a
full time actor, that's there forhim. He can do that. I
mean, he doesn't have to keepdoing this this dance. He could do
it other ways. And if somemoment, some opponent puts him in a

(02:52):
position where he's gonna pull like aa Rocky seven. How many Rockies out?
I think there's seven, maybe nineif you count the Creedle kind of
crazy, well, yeah, buthe's not in him anymore, saying where
you're like, all right, I'molder, but I'm gonna come back and
smack this kid around for opening hismouth. He can still do that,
but it's just this doesn't why whybother like what you? He himself said

(03:15):
he was gonna be done by thetime he was thirty. He's past that.
He's made more money than anybody.You know. He can do whatever
he wants to do. He cango, he can be in Roadhouse fifteen.
He can be a bag. Ican't think of a movie I wouldn't
put him in, just even asa gimmick, as a joke, like
in the Corner. So why whydo it yourself anymore? These are the

(03:36):
times where there's a difference between acolumnist and a reporter. There's a difference
between an anchor and someone giving anopinion, and a radio host and a
reporter, because anchors keep boats fromfloating away. A lot of people would
have to be straight and say thisand say this is what the source told
me. I don't have to bestraight. It's pride month. I heard

(03:58):
from this person. Then this iswhat's gonna happen. And I believe them.
They're right. Their people told themthat fight was gonna happen. But
people who can give opinions and havecommon sense can say, come on,
we all know this wasn't gonna happen. We all knew when the rumor started
flying. We all saw McGregor partylike a Madman. We knew this fight
was gonna happen. I feel badfor fans well back. I'm almost positive
if you buy a ticket to aMcGregor fight, you can't get refunded.

(04:21):
I don't think that's how that works. I think it always has cards subject
to change. So if you boughta ticket to this fight and you paid
a ridiculous amount of money, thinkof McGregor was gonna be on the card.
Sorry, UFC one to probably waitto the last moment to hit people
down. Dana White would say,no, no, no, We're not
gonna do that. But this iswhat happens in fight sports. Now.
I love what Michael Chandler's done.If you are a fighter, if you

(04:42):
plan on being a fighter, thisis how you handle it in business.
Michael Chandler, let's remind everyone hasn'tfought since November twenty twenty one. Because
you want yeah, because he wantsMcGregor right, He flat outset I'll wait
for McGregor, he said. NowMcGregor does this whole thing. Most fighters
would talk trash. He's ducking me, He's afraid of me. Michael Chandler

(05:03):
on social media for McGregor's long postabout not being able to fight. Quote,
no hard feelings. Heal up,my heart is full, see you
soon. I'm here, just asin two thousand and nine when I started,
the most reliable man in MMA.See you when I see you.
It's about backing out. No,well, I mean it's good business right
there. Why fight two other peoplebefore McGregor. Don't look like a bumm

(05:23):
in the ring, in the octagon, Get McGregor, get your money.
Well, he's and he's just sucha like he's probably the he might be
the best fighter most people don't knowabout because of all his years in Strike
Force, in Bellator, he wasn'tin the UFC, but he has he
has done at all like he is, and he has proven that he's still

(05:46):
on any given fight night, pickedoff your shoulders just as likely as you
can tap him like he's. Hegoes out and he gives you a fight
every time. For anybody who goesI don't want to watch this fight becausey're
just gonna feel each other out.Michael Chandler, don't feel not now.
He just starts throwing bombs and hopinghe can puts you down quick and if
he can't, then he goes tograppling, and you know where he's got
silver medals and stuff like at thecollege level. Like he's he's a bad,

(06:10):
bad dude. He has very littleleft to prove. But I think
what he would like to prove isthat he can touch Connor McGregor in the
face way more times than Connor cantouch him. Yes, and get that
fat paycheck, big fat ee ifit ever comes, which at this point,
I get why Chandler wants to wait. Might be waiting a lot longer
he thought, or maybe knew thisthe whole time. You know what,
Hold, hold baby, don't go, Chandler. Let's move on a story.

(06:31):
Number three. Big news if you'rea baseball fan involve in the Los
Angeles Dodgers. One of the bestplayers in baseball, Mookie Bets, broke
his left hand when hit by apitch in yesterday's game against the Kansas City
Royals. We're talking to former MVPmultiple time All Star Dave Roberts. Not
sure how long Bets is going tobe out for. Will not require surgery.
In fact, Mookie Bets out forthe Dodgers, no time frame set

(06:57):
for his return. We know theDodgers are good. The Dodgers are considered
by many to be the team tobeat in Major League Baseball, But this
is arguably the best player in baseball, A phenomenal athlete. By the way,
I don't know how many people havefollowed the Mookie Bets thinggu where he
like bowls three hundred games. Thisis one of these guys who could have
played football or baseball or any othersport. How much of a below can
this be for the Dodgers? Andare you willing to say the Dodgers might

(07:19):
be as low as the third bestteam in the National League when Bets is
out of the lineup? Oh wow, that's all right, obviously there's you
can't lose a guy like Bets andnot feeling you know, I mean,
i'd you like losing Johns. That'dbe like, you know, Soto or
any any of the great players.But this is a stacked Dodgers team.

(07:41):
Freddie Freeman doesn't even get spoken abouton this team, like like, how
good is your lineup there? You'relike, Freddie, who showya? Tani's
a beast, Hayward, I mean, this is a Tascar Hernandez just he'd
almost single handley beat the Yankees intwo of those three games that they played
against the Yanks. So they've gotthe talent, but they they are they're
pretty beat up right now. Thatwould put that's what bets on the IL.

(08:03):
That puts back Monsey on the IL. Uh Yamamono's on the IL,
Bobby Miller's on the I mean thisis this is like the Yankees back in
the day, where everybody start JoeKelly, Ryan Bracey, like, you
could probably start building the All ILteam that if they were on the field,
would beat the All Star team forthe for the either either side,

(08:26):
starting with Mookie Betts. But theygot enough talent they'll stay. They'll stay
afloat long enough and then when hegets back, they'll go on a run.
They're not gonna miss the postseason.There's too much talent. BET's getting
injured in the hand is so difficultto figure out how long he's gonna be
out because he is so good,so many little bones. I caught that
Friday night rally by the Dodgers.That was a one o'clock finish in the

(08:46):
eighth inning rehearsal dinner. Let's justsay got it extended a bit. So
there was Royal's Dodgers on but whenthey met had to go from Bets to
o'tani to Freeman and made it lookso easy against Kansas City. I'm like,
gosh, when you get to thepostseason and have that much talent in
a row, and you mentioned FreddieFreeman, like it's almost taken for granted.
Times, like any one of theseguys would be the best player on

(09:09):
another team. Rancom put them ona different team. Third, fourth,
fifth, that's where the Dodgers stackup. That's a loaded they are,
well, I mean they would bebetter than Judge or Sona. So we'll
move on to story Number two isthe New York Mets taking on the Texas
Rangers eight h five, first pitchset against the defending World Series champions.
It's the New York Mets, Levc. I kind of want to give the

(09:30):
Mets a little bit more love today. How about to lead off our number
three five o'clock, we talk alittle deeper about the Mets and what happened
over the past few games for theMetropolitans. But previewing tonight's game for the
Rangers and Mets important a whole homegame. What do we make about what
this series against Texas can mean forthe New York Mets season going forward,

(09:52):
there's no more whole home games forthe Mets. I mean, if you
really want to show but you're init's five game wins streak. Gotta keep
winning. The funny funny not likefunny, how but funny interesting is we
sit here and we talk about theTexas Rangers, and we talk about them
as if they are still that caliberof a team that won the World Series.

(10:13):
So the Mets record is thirty threeand thirty seven. The Rangers record
is thirty three and thirty eight.Now the difference is the Rangers are eight
and a half behind the Mariners.The Mets are thirteen and a half behind
the Phillies. With the braves ofthe Nationals in their way. But you
wanna mark the line, how deepis the water? Kind of thing for

(10:35):
the Mets, go down to toewith the Texas Rangers, beat them up
a little bit, take two orthree. What if I told you I've
been begging for this. I've beenbegging for this for a month. Give
me a storyline about the Mets.Let us talk about some Let us sink
our teeth into something besides them losingand being irrelevant and sitting in the middle
of the road. Thank you Metsfor giving us something to talk about.
Pos Kimmles, thank you cards,Thank you Mets, thank you. I

(10:58):
think it's valin, But there's alot of If we told you, met
fan that you'd have a better recordlike Leavac just putting out a better record
than the defending World Series champions,that by mid June, Pete a.
Lonzo would be coming off one ofhis best games of his career, and
you're only a game and a halfout of the wild Card. Sign us
up, let's go. This soundsgreat. What about seventy two hours ago,

(11:20):
this guy was falling, You weredead. We were putting dirt on
your grave. Things have changed.This is a big deal if you're a
Yankee fan, if you're a baseballfan and your team's off on this Monday,
this is the best game of anygame on the Major League Baseball schedule
tonight. You don't think so ata little over tonight's games. Listen,

(11:43):
I haven't found on the wager onthat too much. All right, I'm
just I'm just gonna I'm just gonnasay that. Listen, this sky's still
falling. If you're a Mets fan. It's just there's softer things falling right
now. It's not rocks and youknow asteroids. It's some clouds are hitting
you, some some nerf balls.It's still not it's you got a little

(12:05):
ways to go to get back tothe sky, going back up our belongs.
Maybe it's Red Spirates. Is thebest game tonight? This doesn't sound
as impressive. How about game?But we want to story number one.
It's the NBA Finals best baseball gamestick by Mets Rangers' best game tonight is
this Mavericks Celtics Game five, theNBA Finals, Dallas with the huge victory
over the weekend to extend the series. Eight thirty tip off sent tonight back.

(12:28):
I think we got to dive deeperinto this old Why do you not
have the US open in there withwith Bryce and d Chambeau winning it.
It's not going on as predicted byme as your top four. It already
ended yesterday, but we didn't talkabout it. I guess I imagine if
you had picked Bryce to d Chambellawould have it would have found its way
in a few times. All right, let's do this. Then we will

(12:48):
cover the US Open. We willdo that. We'll do it in the
play that day, all right,Rory missed a bunch of putts. You

game. Hey, Rory, blewthat. But you cast your bet takes
cash, Baby takes cash. Youlose. I win. That's all I

(13:11):

(19:41):
uh, this could be it.This could be the end of the
NBA for the season. This uhwell, I'm sorry, just laughing because
I know a hot it's going tobe tomorrow to say this could be It
could be the end of the world, could be, could be the start
of global warming? Boys and girlsunder degrees tomorrow and Thursday and forever.
All right, since you brought disasterreal quick, just quick, you turn

(20:02):
quick, quick, just off thebeam path, g Y boy, since
you run w g Y and stuff, you work with Doug and everybody,
what the hell hab it is morea plane crash or a maxwell. I
couldn't believe that report that came Plaigna small plane, right, yes,
I mean not that that makes anybetter. Somebody obviously didn't make it anything.
But coverage has been all day onw g Y. So if you're
looking for more detailed social media,but you'll give it to us. I

(20:26):
don't. I want to be veryrespectful because I have not I don't have
the deep details. Won't happen.I don't want to say anything wrong on
the air, so and I wantto plug and get the views on g
Y. You can't just tell uswhat happened? Remember you can follow W
G Y on social media. Flatpat that you can't tell us. You

(20:47):
can't tell us what happened. Youdon't know what is it? I want
to be respectful of our wonderful journalistsand reporters and anchors. You either,
if you know and you don't tellus, I'm gonna I'm gonna make your
life. I don't feel confident sharingthe information. How about that? Say,
if you know, you don't tellus to make your life. Hell,
I don't know anything insightful that wouldhelp the story. How about that?

(21:08):
All right? I'm that guy though, Like when I'm driving down seven,
you know that stretches seven from here, like like you're going towards the
north Way, yes, so likewe're up in Latham for the radio ranch.
When I see the planes fly overmy head like that is I've watched
way too many movies, like Isee them falling from the sky because I've
seen movies. I don't like tofly in the first place. So well,

(21:30):
whatever happened, we thoughts and prayersnow to the family members and everything
like that. Even though guys isnot sharing information, Celtics are have the
ability to end the NBA Finals tonighteight thirty tip. They host Dallas.
Dallas just had the best possible gamethey could have had on Friday night.

(21:52):
Guys, is it over? Yes, it feels like it's over. It
feels like Boston is a deeper team. It feels like Luca and Kyrie.
We saw what happened in Game four, total domination. I've been trying to
figure out when in this series Bostonwas gonna have a stinker. And usually
this is a pro football thing thatthere's one game of the year where it's

(22:14):
like, all right, that's notthe team we're used to. All Right,
something went wrong there. Yeah,but the ball move on Boston has
been like that, not just inthe regular season, but in the postseason.
We saw some examples of that inthe Cavaliers series earlier in the postseason.
That felt like that, and Ithought that was gonna be Game two
and Game three and then not Gamefour, But it happened in Game four.
So I've been so off on thisNBA Finals, and I think it's

(22:36):
a lot to do with hard topredict the mental capacity of Kyrie Irving probably
should have probably should have saw thatone coming. I think mentally the Boston
fans have been in his head.I believe the back he said something about
this dad too, so he heflat out said, and I I mean
this is are you brave of youcrazy? Because you gotta be tough,

(22:56):
tough either way. Oh and he'vetalked about not being accepted by the Celtics
fans. Quote, that's what theyexpect you to do as a player.
They expect you to seamlessly buy intothe Celtics pride, buy into everything Celtics,
and if you don't, then you'llbe outed. I'm one of the
people that's on the outs. Helaughs. I'm perfectly fine with that,

(23:19):
you know what I mean. Idid it to myself. They don't welcome
me with a warm embrace, eventhough I know a lot of people in
the organization and I'm still friends withthem. He went on to call it
the Celtics cult. I didn't buyinto the Celtics cult. So that being

(23:40):
said, he was I have oneof two theories on what he did with
this with these comments. One can'tget any louder, can you. It
doesn't matter. I'll say what Iwant to say. Or two, Luca
went off. He finally looked likeLuca the rest of the guys played the

(24:00):
way we need to play. I'mgonna take it on me. I'm going
to make sure that all those crazychattaheads are screaming directly at me and leaving
my teammates alone. I feel likethat quote by Kyrie is far more about
culture and athletes now, and evenathletes far younger than Kyrie, are far
more concerned about me, me,me, rather than the clothing. What

(24:23):
is my brand rather than the brandthat I play for. And if you
don't believe that, go look atthe transfer portal, go look at social
media, go look at anything elsethat people are and look to the credit
of those athletes. Probably the athletesof the seventies and eighties and nineties would
have if they had the platform todo it. So I think it's more
about the time and history rather thananything else. I'm positive he's gonna get

(24:45):
a boot louder to know. No, yeah, I mean it's already been
loud and mentally. So that's whyI would take Boston tonight, because now
Kyrie's brought it on himself. Ifyou want to give Tatum in the defense
in the defense for Boston credit forSloan Don Kyrie. I think that's fair
they should get credit. But seeinghow good he was earlier in the postseason
and then all of a sudden he'srandomly not good and put up some of
the worst statistical performances of his playoffcareer. What went wrong? Is he

(25:07):
hurt? Well, we haven't heardreports of him being hurt mentally, it's
got to him. I know Ican't quantify that. I know that said
that last week, but that's whatI looked like in this series. Boston
wins it at home, Boston getsit done. And the storyline going into
tonight's game is how much is Kyriementally affected by Boston fans? Like?
Is he gonna yell and scream atthe fans? Is he gonna do something
at halftime? He's gonna do somethingin the pregame. There is more intrigue

(25:30):
to this game of how is Kyriegonna act? He's gonna be an adult?
Is he gonna be a philosophalizer likethey say in the movie Dodgeball?
Is he going to run something wildon social I find all those things compelling
tonight, But Boston's the better team. Dallas is almost like the horse at
Saratoga that thought they were running againstreally good competition and smoked everybody, and
then the real horses showed up inthe next race and they're not winning.

(25:52):
That's sort of what it feels likehere. They step it up and not
look great at stakes race. Hopefullycloser's listed. I think I nailed that
comparison. Oh, he's been alot more pressient than you have lately.
I don't know, man, Ithink again, how much louder can you
get than what you've already done tohim? Part of me feels like this
is like, say what you wantabout Kyrie. You may not like his

(26:15):
theories, but he is a thinker. He thinks, he thinks. He
likes to talk about the world beingflat. He likes to talk about this,
he likes, he likes to think. He may be crazy with where
his his thought process takes him.But what if what if you put the
target on your back? Play theplay the villain, Go, put your

(26:37):
hands up in the air. Comeon, that's all you got, keep
going. Oh, you guys havea good lung capacity because you smoke too
many mar breads. Oh, let'sgo, let's go Baston, embrace the
heat. Yeah, like Roddy Piper, Rick Flair, let the babies cry
it out. And then by themcoming after you, they're ignoring Luca,

(27:00):
who's a game time decision. They'reignoring everybody else, and everybody else can
just focus on playing basketball. Andif you know it's working, am I
boost you too. I got alot of guys, a lot of athletes
that I respect. They listen.Number one home game, crowdgoing crazy,
chair for you, very very close. Number two road game. They hate

(27:23):
you so much they can't stop doinglike those things are like like candy to
these athletes. No, no,no, no no, they want all
of it. Tonight should be aboutwhat it means for the legacy of the
Celtic franchise and the coach and Tatumand Brown and who's better in Porzingis and
is Al Horford the Hall of Famer? All those things might be talked about

(27:45):
more tomorrow. If Boston wins,we can do all those storylines tomorrow.
But pre tip off, it's aboutKyrie. It's about what Mavericks team could
hang tonight. That's that's Mark said, We'll do all that stuff if Boston
wins. I believe they're going totonight of what it means for the future,
and we can talk like dynasty.Talk probably isn't in the mix yet
for the Celtics because they've been incontention for so long, and this team

(28:08):
isn't like the teams of the eighties. It's not like the Paul Pierce team.
It's a little bit different. Howabout the number, by the way,
I just see it up here.One hundred and fifty six times a
team is trailed three to zero inthe finals. Oh what one hundred and
fifty six in winning it? Right? But how many does they take into
a game six? Let's just seethat step. Let's just relate this.

(28:30):
You had Dallas winning in six,Yes, you can't win. I had
Boston winning in six. I canstill win. But I do want to
definitely hear what you have to thinksay coming up, because I feel like
you haven't been right yet in thisseries. I have been wrong a lot,

the slings in the arrows of ofGuz and and Ryan the Cardinal. I

(31:15):
just I'd say, I don't Ionly want to pick when I have a
when I want to pick, youknow, And I've decided now I will
no longer be bullied by you too, because I proved yet again that when
I actually have a real lean,when I have a real vibe, what
a real feeling, when I wantsomething and I know I'm right, I'm
right, isn't that right? Bryceand Deschambeau ten Bucks brought back two hundred

(31:41):
twenty to one baby Baby. Youknow, zal Taurus was never in it,
but he was my long shot funbet anyway. Uh yeah, the
best part about it. And Ididn't do this on air because we had
a lot of weird stuff going onevery day? Was it FanDuel? Yeah?
FanDuel would do a bone every youcould bet every day, so every

(32:02):
day plus twenty percent on top ofwhatever he was, I was doing five
bucks more so by the time wasover, I mean, I was just
this, it's a steel money.One of people pretend it's golf things so
difficult. Is twenty to one thebiggest hit we've had so far this year.
On playing of the day, it'sgotta be. I think we've had

(32:24):
some ten to one, some eightto ones, nine to one's twenty to
one. I'm willing to say this. I hope it's not true, but
I'm willing to say this. Ibelieve that might win twenty twenty four.
No, I don't know if we'regonna hit another twenty one or bigger shot
this year. No, because football'scoming, you're gonna find a twenty to
one parlay to hit. Remember Idid what did I hit last year?

(32:45):
It was? It was it wasfifty to one. I don't remember you
cash it at fifty one. Ireally know it was cashed out. It
was because it was actually eight eightyto one. It was the one.
It was the Niners game, OCaaffrey touchdown, this one, this one,
this one, and I cashed outat five hundred and fifty seven dollars.
That was your play of the day. Oh I remember, I think
I might have given it. Idon't remember Ryan check on this. So

(33:06):
he's what we're gonna say. March. I know I hit it because remember
it paid for me in the entiretime we're in Vegas. Yes, it
did. That's twenty twenty four.Would it have been a playoff parlay you
had. Oh, we're gonna haveto check the records, the great host
of no credentials required. And bythe way, as we get closer to
the closer to the summer, whoknows, maybe a potential fill in one
day when you and I have somevacations. We gotta give him something for

(33:27):
keeping track of all this I'm notdoing. Pak Harris is a busy man,
but I'm sure he'll step in.Zach Boyden Junior, he's busy.
I'm not gonna do all this cockI got places to be Anyways, if
we do have the Cardinal's voice again, he used to like to show us
abou Hawk Chevy, I'd like tocheck twenty to one. So now after
a twenty to one, are youstepping aside? Like that? That could
cover a whole month worth of plays, Lavac If you just got one to

(33:50):
one paybacks, Uh, maybe you'redone. No, I mean I have
I have something I like for tonight. Kind of want to hear what you
thought of first, especially if it'sabout the NBA, because one thing I've
learned is that you cannot pick theNBA finals. So like, if you
agree with me, I may noteven do it, okay, but if

(34:12):
you disagree with me, I'm ahammer. I may drop the hammer.
Really just talked about the finals,now, Bat, I've been figuring this
thing out. I had originally Mavericksand six. Okay, so six and
a half is the number. Gosh. Here here's how I feel this game
plays out tonight. Boston is thebetter team for all four quarters. Boston

(34:36):
is leading by most of it,like the game's gonna sit between twelve sixteen
for most of the game, andeventually they're gonna start celebrating into the fourth
celebrating a little too early. Dallas, we get hot six and a half.
I take the Celtics if I hadto take one, though, if

(34:57):
you forced me into a play tonight, it wouldn't be that number. I
would be more likely to play theunder tonight because I think if Boston's up
big, they're gonna try to drainthe clock. They're gonna try to run
it down, try to celebrate quicker, try to make sure they limit possessions
for Luca. So I would playthe under if I had to play tonight.
I feel way better about the underthan the six and a half,
but I would take Boston six anda half under and that is not my

(35:21):
play of the day though, Sothat shows my confidence in that play.
Not my play of the day,but under in Boston six and a half.
So are you just are you doingthe exact opposite of what I just
kind of that's what you're doing onyour phone. I see your phone is
out. Yeah, well I'm doingmy play that. Do you want to
do your play today? Now?Yes, I can't stand my play of
the day. We finally hit it, everybody. We finally got to the

(35:42):
point that I've looked at the entirebaseball schedule, the hockey schedule, and
the NBA game tonight, and Idon't like a single game tonight. But
I'm not passing here. We makehistory like Carmelo. Here, we make
history. Give me the Dallas Wingstonight. WNBA wager Boys Minnesota Links hosting

(36:04):
the Dallas Wings all three and nineof the Dallas Wings. They can't lose
by more than fourteen and a half, right, give me the Wings to
cover. There's a WNBA bet formy play of the day, Okay.
I mean you know I'm gonna givea little respect on that because not only
is it a WNBA play. It'snot a Caitlin Clark play. So you

(36:29):
either just are just blindly stabbing atthe wager board or you actually paid a
little attention. I'm gonna assume it'sblindly stabbing, all right, because because
this is what I do. I'mgonna give a parlay tonight, same gamer
again, low low risk, potential, high reward, and we're looking at

(36:51):
plus three eighty one Mavericks plus sixand a half over thirty two and a
half for Luca over twenty three anda half for Kyrie. Those three together
MAVs plus six and a half overthirty two and a half for Luca over
twenty three and a half for Kyrie. I think those two have got it
together now, especially after what wetold you earlier today that Kyrie has said

(37:15):
that there's a cult, there's aCeltics cult. Basically, he said the
word cult. I think he enjoysbeing the villain. I think he did
that on purpose. I think heI think he's taking he's taking the villain
role keep some of the pressure offof Luca. So I don't know who's

(37:35):
gonna win the damn game, butI think six and a half is close
enough. I really really hope Dallasgets one more because I had I had
Boston in six. Boston Dan alreadyowes me money. Now this is good.
I'm happy. But yeah, soI'm gonna take the six and a
half points with the MAVs over thirtytwo and a half, Luca over twenty
three and a half Kyrie. Alot of action from Dallas to potentially keep

(37:57):
that series alive to win, he'sgoing to Game six. I think it's
already over the then I missed that. I think I don't win, but
I think it's gonna come down tothe end. I don't. I don't
think you're wrong about this, youknow, them being in it in the
end. I think it's gonna comedown to the end because I think Boston.
Boston has already proven the better team. So now it's the question is
what's the narrative you think the worldis about to have. Is it,

(38:20):
oh my goodness, Boston lost twoin a row. What's gonna happen next?
Or is that Wow, it wascute that Dallas got one. That's
where we are. Yeah, letme offer up a very lazy sports talk
radio question to you. Now,we saw the Mavericks destroy Boston in Game
four. Tomorrow was Game five ofthe Stanley Cup. The Oilers destroyed the
Panthers in Game four. More likelyto come back and win this series?

(38:45):
Say Edmonton, just because I reallydon't know as much ab hockey. Oh
wow, that was quick. Yeah, I don't know as much hockey.
Wow. Okay, I thought youwere gonna give me like a good minute
of Like, that's a dumb question. Nobody's coming back down three to zero.
It's not gonna happen. How lazycould you be? You can they
anything that happened sooner or later.It's just it's not sooner for in the
NBA, I don't know enough abouthockey to go, oh there's no way

(39:07):
Connor McDavid can do it, oror yeah he's one hundred percent he could
do it. I just like yousee, you see matchups change from time
to time. You see like theMavericks getting the w over the Celtics dominating
fashion. You kind of there wasa chance that came out flat. There

(39:28):
was a chance that Celtics came outflat. I don't think there's another chance.
The only the only thing I thinkthat hoses the Celtics tonight would be
overconfidence, like, Okay, welet you have your cute little moment,
let's get it. But that beingsaid, like I don't know enough about
Florida or Ebonton in hockey to go, oh yeah, no way the band
has ever fall for that again,neither's coming back. If I had to

(39:49):
get be forced to make a picktoo, I would likely take Edmondson because
it feels as if we've seen morehistorical examples of that happening we have in
hockey than basketball. And like yousaid, knowing how we've seen this series
playoff for Boston, it seems likeEdmonson would be the answer. But we'll
have to find out that answer tomorrow. When they play tonight, we could
see a new NBA champion crown.Do you heard the stat sixteen years to
the day they won their last championship. They could match that again the Boston

(40:14):
Celtics. I hope not. I'mso sticking like that window of time where
like Boston and Massachusetts just had likeall the trophies coming their way. I
don't ever need to see that again. Like they're gonna win the NBA Finals,
It doesn't need to be tonight,Let's do it in six I was
doing six, not just because Ihave a parlay of the Celtics and six

(40:34):
with the Yankees winning the World Series, that would be amazing, That would
be amazing, so much fun towatch. Celtics fans hate me twice as
much. One because I hate themand I make their lives miserable. Two
I tied their win to making moremoney on a Yankee World Series. That's
my that's my dream is just toreally upset everybody in Boston, just really

(40:54):
make them so miserable that they likehave to go, just chug Sam Adams
until they feel better and slap amar bread at a grandma's mouth. You
know, well that's your plan todaythanks to Mohawks, chevro Leigh. Yeah,
let's go, Dallas, let's go. I don't even like them.
I hate Dallas, I do,but you know, I just I don't

(41:17):
want it over yet. I wantto. I want my six to be
real. I want my six tobe the win. I like being right.
Russian d Chambeau made right. Well, Rory kind of made me right
by just collapsing, but still Iwas right. I got the US open
right. You're welcome if you ifyou were out road along on that one.
