Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad, Reed's like, Cuervo.

I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila. Proximo, Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly. Queervo. This is the Don Leventor Show with the Stugats Podcast. NFL schedule dropped yesterday, which is actually a super exciting day for not just fans of certain teams, but also free agent fans like myself that like to travel to the biggest games of the regular season. All the prime time standalone games seem really fun. I think I know where I'm gonna be week one,

and that's in Denver. As everybody with a pulse is probably gonna take Bo Nicks and the Denver Broncos in their survivor pool, I'm gonna be back in Cam Ward in the Tennessee Titans. That seems like a hard ticket to get. You know where I'm gonna get those tickets? Where? Game Time? The Game Time app.

Download the Game Time app, create an account, and use the code Dan for $20 off your first purchase. Hopefully that purchase is to watch Game Ward and the Tennessee Titans. Terms apply. Download Game Time today. Last minute tickets, lowest price, guaranteed. No prime time games for Cam Ward next year.

That's not rare. Well, that is a little rare. Like, they're not even on a Thursday night. No primetime games for the number one pick in the draft. I want to announce to people that I'm a bit frightened right now. This doesn't actually happen to me very often. You guys know I like to play with fire a little bit, right? So I ended accidentally Bert Kreischer and Bill Burr's podcast by poking Bill Burr on the nose and then just sort of backpedaling the whole time because i'm very afraid of

comedians uh... when they're agitated and emotional but i also like when they're agitated and emotional so when i'm interviewing anthony jeselnick on south beach sessions i'm beginning from a point of being a little afraid i don't want to make a mistake here that's gonna make this person uh... like cut my face off because he's been funny since he's nine years old and angry since he's nine years old and the problem i have right now is i know how good sam morel is a comedy but i also know how not in the movie is for us today

and not in the mood we have a treasure right now in that we have acidic dark sam morel right now after just a crushing nicks loss and i know he doesn't want to be on with us and i know he doesn't want to be on with us. And I know he doesn't want to do this, but this is actually a get today, a Knicks fan willing to be hurt publicly today. So Sam, you honor me by making time in your schedule to do this.

I'm sorry we're doing this to you today. Well, first of all, Dan, not in the mood has never stopped you from what I hear from your wife. Also, yeah, I'm not in the mood to be here. I told you that last time. It was a bad loss, but you pushed and you pushed. And this Burt Kreischer, Bill Burt thing,

if you feel so bad about it, why do you bring it up every five minutes? I feel so bad I ended Burt and Bill's podcast. You mentioned every time I talked to you, hopefully Tony can behave as well on this episode. I mean, this is a mess last time, so yeah, I'm not in the mood to talk about the Knicks right now.

Tony, you took, I don't think it's a stray actually. I don't think Tony knows essentially what it is that you're talking about, but we'll get back to that in a second. Go on. Billy betrayed you recently, not unlike Zaz recently betrayed Amin. But Sam, how are you feeling today?

Did you have trouble sleeping last night? Because I was saying before you came on here that- I didn't sleep, Dan. I'm like Donovan Mitchell after his loss. I didn't sleep. I feel like shit. I'm hungover. We're going to win on Friday.

But you know, look, the Boston team came together. What can you do? You lost your star and they played a great game. It was very frustrating to watch. I worry for your team because I was making the argument before you came on here that the Celtics are championship great because they're built for threes. They can hit 25 of them, whether or not Tatum's playing. So you have to fear that going into the garden because the garden hasn't closed out a playoff opponent this century. Well do you feel any guilt then? About Tatum? About you going on

here and being like where's his moment? Where's Jason Tatum's moment? And then he tears the Achilles? You it he got a moment because of you. You jinxed him. Well he had one before that when he he's been injured before in big moments and been physically hurt. I remember those moments. They are moments for him. I remember them. I bet you're gonna Nico Harrison Dallas welcome

next time you go to Boston. You can't sit there and claim that I created a moment for Jason Tatum, but it was- Am I the first one to say this? I can't possibly be the first. It was his most memorable moment of the playoffs. It was. Now, he had 42 before that went down. That's not a moment. 42 is 42 moments.

Okay. Huh? I feel like I was talking to a nerd. All right, yeah, look, Boston's still tough without them. What can I say? I think we're going to win on Friday, but they're still f***ing good. What do you want from me, Dan? It was an annoying game to watch. We showed no desire. They called five fouls on Brunson in nine minutes.

What the was that? What am I watching? Do you get briefs on Jaylen Brown? And I'll tell you, I wanted to hate, have I told you that I met Jaylen Brown? I wanted to hate him, but he was actually a good guy. Isn't that the worst? I did a fashion show at the Apollo for,

don't ask me why. They had to move down. You did a fashion show where? It was at the Apollo with Marlon. It was like me, Marlon Wayans, Dion Cole. It was like a, it was a stacked line of a comics. It's a fashion show crowd. They sucked, I bombed.

And I'm in the green room and Jalen Brown walks in. I'm like, oh, of course the Celtic just witnessed that bomb, Jesus Christ, this is all I need to make my night worse. And he came over to me and he was the cool, he was like, that was so funny, he was so cool. And I talked to him for like 15, 20 minutes, he was great. But he did tell me that they were gonna rip the Knicks

throats out on opening night and 20 minutes. He was great. And but he did tell me that they were going to rip the Knicks throats out on opening night and they did. He did. He did get me there. But yeah, I mean, you call Brunson a flopper. What the fuck is Jalen Brown? Brown has been playing so dirty the last couple of games. It's it's insane. You're so mad. It's a lot of bombs from it's like come out naturally. I'm sorry I messed up your family show Dan.

I'm sorry. I messed up your family show Dan. I'm sorry. I messed up your family show Dan. I didn't know I was on live with Cathy Lee or whatever the hell. Sorry Kelly. I don't know who even has the show anymore. I'm so angry.

How did your morning show Shenanigans go the last time we talked to you when you were surrounded by fentanyl? It was such a disaster that I'm holding it. I'm not releasing it until I make a movie and it'll be in the movie. It was such a disaster that I'm holding it. I'm not releasing it until I make a movie and it'll be in the movie. It was it was that ugly. It was that weird and uncomfortable. Wow. Because they're hard there it's hard to surprise anybody now it's hard to be. Yeah but we did it we did it we pulled it off but I have to save that one I don't want the world to see that one until the

movie comes out. Oh so it's that good you're saying that okay that uncomfortable. Wow so so you're saying it was transcendent. Yeah, it was probably me and my best. Is this better than when Gary wore a GIMP suit? It was better. Jesus. Because this time Gary refused to put on the GIMP suit and the guy had no idea what we were talking about

and we got a fight on. It's too good to even explain. I'm saving it. We've talked to you about, a little bit about the movie you're making, not very much though, about the movie you're making. What can you tell people about it? Or what do you want people to know about it?

Nothing, it'll be out next year, but I'm making a movie. Myself, financing myself, because I don't wanna, even if you get funding, man, they take two years. It takes forever to get people on board. I'm in the process of making something else and it takes two months to set a meeting with these lazy who live in their Apple store looking offices in LA who don't work for they pretend to work. We all get up or the studio is real right Seth Rogen's the studio is real.

These people don't work. It's like Yom Kippur turns into like, you're like, oh, we'll have Yom Kippur through MLK day. I'm like, I don't, those aren't related. It's maddening. They're maddening to work with. So I just like, I'll just make something myself or just put in my own money.

And we got amazing cameos in it too. But that's all I can say. I don't want to share anymore because I want it to be a surprise. Sam, is there a part of your nix fandom that once tatum went down you're like oh now we might actually lose because the expectation is that we're going to win like this might actually work against us and also it just means more derrick white and i almost fear him more i i uh no no part of my that did not you just put that in my brain that it was not a man should be that guy you should always answer that is that's a champion

scared I'm I'm the most scared of Derek White for sure he's he's so annoying because he's one of those like per he's like that player that you're that your dad loves he's just like a perfect player. He's so annoying. He doesn't miss a shot. He's a great defender, although Brunson did cook him. And my hope is that like the Celtics, as good as they are, I do think Horford and Holliday for the first time ever look kind of old. That being said, White and Pritchard scare me more than anyone. Oh, but this is the part that's scary, right? I feel like I may have been misidentifying in previous conversations with you some of what i was doing because of the role tatum place you and i've been talking about

the idea of how hard it is to be the third player on one of these teams with this ego and drew holidays been a champion there for a while but when drew holidays your fifth best player because porzingis and eric white or better when when drew holidays your fifth best player even sort of wash I'm telling you I'm still scared of that team even without Jason Tatum if their guys if their other guys are healthy there They're as good as everybody but okay see even without Tatum. I agree with you. I agree with you. They're they're scary, man, and I Mean what the hell happened to poor Zingas, sir? Did someone put a spell on him?

He f***ing stinks. He's ill, he's ill, he couldn't breathe. He's ill. He's been ill for two months, he's 26 years old. I didn't realize, you know, I had the flu for 12 days. I'm an out of shape alcoholic, you know? This guy can't recover in two months, he's a pro athlete. Well, I don't, if you're gonna start asking me

what's happening with the bodies of the seven three people Like in in sports. I like we're making athletes Bigger and stronger and weirder shape than ever before. We haven't talked speaking of athletes We haven't talked enough about the Luke Cornett revenge game. I know Look, you know, I didn't know I didn't know he was Ben Wallace when the Knicks need something It's like of course, he turns into like the good... It was insulting that he had seven blocks, but then when he threw down that reverse backwards alley-oop dunk, I was like, that's like a Stro-Mile Swift dunk.

That's not even good. I've never seen a white player do that dunk, ever. Needless to say, like a seven-foot attitude. That was insane. I was like, at that point you're just like, just take it. Just take the f**king game. Go away. Do you like his nickname, The White Howard?

I haven't heard that one. When he was on the Knicks, we called him The Unicornette, you know, cause we had the unicorn and, I mean, it's crazy that he and Porzingis were both Knicks, but yeah, The White Howard's better, I'll give you that. What kind of shape are you gonna be in later today? Because we've been talking about the emotional fandom here of, man, if you're gonna make me spike around

going on a comedy tour, I'm making a movie, I'm drinking after shows, and also my heart is breaking because I'm going from that's the best sports feeling I've had in 25 years to that kind of feels like the worst sports feeling I've had in 25 years. Your life's a bit careening right now. I'm probably gonna die young, dude. Thanks for bringing it up.

Yeah, I feel like shit. I'm hungover, I don't sleep ever. I just got off of like a 50 city tour. I'm tired. But no, look, that wasn't the worst loss we've had. I mean, game game, that low was not as high as the high on Monday. So I look, we thought but the end of this series would be if you lose, if you lose the next two games, the lows going to be lower than the high was. Yeah, dude, I'm gonna I got a ceiling fan

in my room. I'm going to check the way I'll put it that way. That might be it for me. That might be the last time I come on your dumb little family show here. F*** this show. And f*** you for bringing that up. It's not going down that way. Knicks and six. Yeah, it'd be embarrassing with no Tatum and no Porzingis.

I mean, how can you lose to that team? Yeah, well either way we destroyed the Celtics. So how about, how do you like them apples? Sam, what happens if you have a show and it's a Knicks finals game? I purposely didn't, I even have a benefit on the books that I said if the Knicks have a game, I'm not coming. Okay. Wow.

F them kids. That's real. I know, I, yeah, I purposely did not book any gigs past this, so I have nothing really big till July I did 50 cities already. I got it out of the way. So yeah, no shows also You know, I just want to see Portnoy shut up. I'm sick of his dumb videos So Sam, let me this this opens the door I want to ask you this question because yesterday a ruling came down that Spike Lee has lost his number one fandom.

I don't remember making that rule. Well you weren't here. The alternate judge was here. To who? Well no, it's open. It's open now. Because he skipped the Nick Playoff game to go to the Met Gala and that's, you just said right now you'd skip benefits, you'd skip a show if the Knicks had the finals game on

that day. He skipped a playoff game to go to the Met Gala so we we stripped them of his number one fandom, but now we open it up. And so there's a lot of people applying. We got Mackenroe. We've got Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, Shalimeh. I respect Shalimeh. He goes every game. He's he's he goes on the road. So you got it. You got to show him respect. It's hard to take away Spike's keys, man.

That guy was at the he was paying for tickets in like this late 60s Like is old, you know I feel like he's been riding that story for years now, but wait a minute I mean make the accusation that made you officially take it away from spike He chose the Met Gala over a Knicks playoff game and Steve Martin was a prop comment I'm set but telling lean on the specifics of it the specifics are like hey, man If you're gonna make that choice, it sounds like you're not that big of a fan. I'm just saying like the Met Gala get dressed up.

Met Gala is every year. Every year. I will say that Spike disappeared for a couple of years when Brooklyn came to New York. Uh huh. Uh huh. That sounds like he's coming a little over to your side. So Sam. Yeah. Are you a candidate for the number one Nick fan? Wow. No, I think I don't like this like number one Nick fan shit. What are we doing? This is what you non-Nicks fans do. You try to turn us against each other.

Well, Stephen A is the number one Nick fan right now. Stephen A is clearly the number one Nick fan. Yeah, 100%. Obviously. The number one most annoying Knicks fan, I'll give you that. He's a pain in the ass. No one likes him. Apparently our ESPN numbers are terrible. You can't convince me that that **** cancer isn't part of it. No, he's not in the running.

No Knicks fan would say he's in the running. There's no number one fan. Knicks Twitter is just a beautiful holy place where the fans come to talk and share funny memes. And I think we kept it classy about Tatum, which is why you know we're the best fan base. Like-

I bet it's closer to hell. If that was, if that, no, it's not hell. Philly, Philly, Philly Twitter is hell. That's hell. I believe that. I believe that. Let me tell you something. What about hockey Twitter?

If Tatum tours ACL, if Tatum tours ACL ACL, hockey, and yours, ACL again. I'm sorry. If Jason Tatum tours Achilles against the Sixers, tell me that fan base would have been classy. They would have been sending flowers, you know, that said, you Tatum, that would have been flowers. I like that. But it would have been a misdirected would have said, here's flowers. You're like, oh, Billy's nice.

Don't tell me the fans are the Knicks fans. We all obviously applaud Tatum. We know he's a great player and we felt terrible that that happened. So but but Philly, they would have been loving that shit. Can you play for me, Chris? Me accurately predicting and celebrating the victory lap in general of what it is that I was rooting in for this Boston New York series. Pay them injury?

You're rooting for this injury? You're rooting for the moment? I'm rooting for Boston fans and New York fans to both suffer. I don't know how we achieve that, but we're on our way so far. And the way I feel about both the Knicks and the Celtics fan base make it so that this game I want the meteor to win i want both teams will explode both teams to lose both teams to get injured not a good look and ouch

i wasn't really i don't know if you think the person you have a nice life down there you know you have a very nice wife you have a great studio you got a good morning show his family problem is why you're so angry all it was angry living in sunny florida with a good life you prick why Nice family show. The problem is, why you're so angry? Why you so angry living in sunny Florida with a good life, you prick? Why can't you let me be happy for once? Because you're team imploded because Tyler Hero is your best player? Fuck off.

I think that's a good dismount. I think that's a good, that's a sui. I don't think I could do better than that. Any parting words for Tony here before you go though? Because you've got a, I thought that's a good one. That's a suey. That's a suey for dismissal. I don't think I could do better than that. Any parting words for Tony here before you go though? Because you've got to- Each shit Tony and each shit Dan. Both of you can suck my dick. Go to hell, Morrill.

All right. I almost saw you at the Duralin problem. I'm glad I didn't. No, what are you doing? He was great. What do you mean? What are you- What are you feuding?

You just told him to suck a dick. Yeah, I told him. I almost saw him and I didn't. He should have been funnier. Rat bastard. I told you I worried about playing with these guys when they're angry You love playing with guys when they're angry My god, what a great show. What is that sign? Why did you get that sign? We've needed it recently. We're on air, Dan.

I can't believe if I turn it around. Not the turn around. Go back, go back, go back. Yes, yes, yes. That is huge for Greg as well. Thank you. I like that. It's like one of those things at a golf tournament where they hold up a little sign.

I want, why is that not sponsored? That is the best thing Metal Arch Media has made right there. We just made it right now! That's why it's not sponsored, it's just made it. In the middle of the Samarill segment, we made it. No one knew it was around. I have been told, I have been told that DraftKings has brought its highest ranking talent in

here to help us with things that should be well sold around here. And I just saw a paddle that should have a sponsor on it that is the best thing Metal Arc Media has made. You have a bad idea sometimes. You have to sell a paddle. The honest to God helpful paddle to let you know when we're on air should not be sponsored and I'm really regretting them walking in

during that interview specifically where we set a record for Fbombs. The most truthful thing Dan has ever said is this, I don't know anything about business and every day you prove it when you want us to sponsor things like a paddle. This is why it would be funny to sponsor the paddle though. If you were to be able to get my attention

with something that shows, Dan, all of the dollars will be gone right now. All of the dollars if you don't know that you're on air because you're going to do without judgment what Sam just did. Let's put a little DK logo on that for the time being. That's added value.

Sponsored by DK. Draft Kings. Draft Kings. The crown is yours! Full of crown on top. There you go! There you go! So added V right there. Thank you! So, was that so hard? Look at how a bad idea turns into a good idea just like that. No such thing as a bad idea, Dan. Thank you. Thank you. There's plenty of bad ideas. Sam Morell was one of them. Sam Morell Angry was one of them.

We'd spun that into a win. I disagree with you. So does our editor. Okay, so I thought I was good with money. Turns out I was really good at ignoring it. Like how am I spending this much on delivery or Uber or that one shoe store that I buy too many shoes from? Then I started using Monarch Money

Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container.

And this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture, there's a genuine comfort and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all-day confidence.

Stugats! Jalen! You've got us on our feet, Jalen! We're gonna win the East, Jalen! Without Randall we're still doing fine. This is the Dan LeBattar Show with the StuGats. He's mad at me now and that's not fake. He's mad.

Look man, Nix fans don't, please understand, God almighty, this fan base is desperate for a good story. As Eri was on yesterday telling you this is the biggest thing this town has known, this is the team we love the most. You've seen how loud they get off one playoff win. They've had nothing for 25 years. All of a sudden, hope. Here it is, the biggest hope they've had in 20 years.

Their parents are losers when it comes to the Knicks fans. That's what got hand me down. They love this team. The Celtics are scary. And now the Celtics are the underdog. They liked it when they were the underdog. Guys, I have to stop us, okay? Because as funny as it is to laugh at Knicks fans,

we just came off a heater of an interview where we were laughing directly in one's face and he got really mad. We've been sitting on this sound of Steve Dangle, a Maple Leafs fan that was doing a live watch along with Maple Leafs and quite honestly we should have came out the gates with this because there is nothing better. Now I do this post game, I'm known to do that. When Boston loses I run to WEEI. I want to soak up all those tears. WEEI all those tears. W-D-E-I!

There was a live in progress watch long with a huge Maple Leafs fan in a game that they went down 6-0 in. So you gotta believe for a team that hasn't made it past the second round but once in the last 24 years, alright, They absolutely got devastated and realized that, oh no, we've been counting on Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs to take care of business. This was a moment in time celebrated with me. Mitch, what was that? Here come the Panthers off a spinny backhand pass

and they score. Mitch, what on earth are you friggin' doing?! What?! What's going through your head when you did that?! What is your major malfunction?! What made you think that was the move the panthers and yes for a second book with up on their top line tonight

and he just buried you clouds three nothing in your own barn halfway through a game five you guys so a game five you guys suck so that's all mix that's all of them we have one more clip a bit more efficient guys play the next one that is what the Panthers did in Toronto last night the champions reminded everybody that they're back in the league and I told you the whole thing was haunting. It was silent and that's what was in the background. Listen to me, that's a country that is afraid of the United States.

Oh yeah. Dan, how about in the middle of the game, it was probably when it was 4-0 right, Buddy took off his Austin Matthews sweater and threw it onto the ice. I don't think I've ever seen that before. We see the videos of burning the jerseys, throwing them in the garbage. He took it off and threw it onto the ice during the game. How are Maple Leafs fans trying to spin that

into a win after last night? Do you understand what happened to that crowd midway through the second period? No, no, no, no, no. If that had happened in South Florida. First goal. No, no, no. I understand that they went silent.

I'm talking about evacuating the premises and making it so that it was like an eighth full of what it was before the game. They left, they quit on their team. They got up and left. By the way, the other sad thing was the broadcast kept showing Jurassic Park outside and it was just like seven people standing around.

Put sad Jurassic Park in my vein. How do you stay? If you're in Jurassic Park, watch it. It's four nights, five, you're still there? Move on with your life. What are you doing? The part that I find best about this though and god it guys like you really have to celebrate

when you have this in your town we're not doing when this is the thing that you have that scares people very few fan bases get to feel that for years like fights people and frightens them at one nothing. They're not just frightened of the Florida Panthers though. They're frightened of the weight of the leaf on their sweater

because that team is a loser franchise. Right, they're frightened that this is their life. Yes, and we kind of knew it the whole time. Like you went up two zero, but the Panthers have just been sloppy. You haven't been playing well. When we get our game right, you're toast're toast why because you're the Toronto Maple Leafs And you're counting on Mitch freaking Marner now as a non hockey man. I have to ask this question

I've been told the Toronto Maple Leafs are kind of like the Knicks of hockey where it's like they won some championships a long time ago And it's a huge city that lives on that history But hasn't had any success recently and they look down on everyone else kind of like, not success, I mean talking about championship success. Yes, the answer, the short answer is yes, but I would say the difference is the Knicks fan, I think the Knicks fan thinks every year they're going to be good. The Leafs fan knows what happened last night is coming.

No, no, no, no. Let me correct you there. You saw Sam. The Nick fan, the real Nick fans, right? The ones that grew up in the 90s are all waiting for something bad to happen. Even as it gets great and it's like, oh my God, this is awesome. They're pretending like they're not. They're all worried. Oh my God. Here's how it goes. Here's how our heart breaks. Right? So last night, right? They're up three, one say so what we lost the game We're coming back to the garden. Whatever. No secretly like Jesus. This is what happens We blow up 3-1 lead when Tatum was out there

You know in some way some of them are upset that Tatum got hurt Because kind of with Tatum out there if you win you lose you cuz they like well the Celtics are a great team But now with no Tatum, it's like oh, no, this is how we blow it after we had every advantage They booed them off the ice in the second period yesterday. I had goosebumps. I don't understand why the swaggering bravado from Maple Leafs fans, they were chanting, we want Florida. A year after they tried that. And how about Twitter after game two? It was like, They tried that and it blew up in their face. I mean, how about Twitter after game two? It was like...

You turn into TNT and Biz is confident. It's like, what, are you guys not aware? With the Knicks, they feel like the bottom's gonna... Tony, you know who you are. Why, how do you not know who you are? I'm from South Florida. I know who I am. I didn't see snow until I was like 34 years old.

How do I know who you are better than you? Tony, you know who you are? Absolutely. Chris, you know who you you are better than you? Tony, you know who you are? Absolutely. Chris, you know who you are? Damn right. Amin, you know who you are? Every damn day. I know who I am.

Lips don't know who they are! You guys say this, but I would say to you as it regards the Knicks, when you talk about swaggering bravado, Knicks fan is awfully loud. Like we're painting with one brush here. Knicks fan was feeling him and herself at 3-1, and some of them were fearing the disaster, but many of them are not.

We got Brunson! We got Brunson! It's a different day! We got the beloved guy, and I will say this again, we're the underdog. It's easy. The favorite's not easy, man. People, I mean mean you can testify to this I've heard again and again the Minnesota Timberwolves are not mature

enough why aren't they mature enough because they are a team that does not know how to win as favorites it's not because they're young it's because they don't know what it takes to win when everyone expects you to win. Brunson, you're expected to win now. Nix, you're expected, you're favored to win in the garden. That's different. And they're ready to turn on their team if somebody goes one for nine. They turned on Ananobe yesterday like that. They're ready to turn on their team in this moment.

Well, yeah, I will testify to this as a two-time WNBA champion and an Olympic gold medalist. Go on. Yes, the heavy is the head that wears the crown, Dan, and when you're the favorite, when you're on top, you don't have the benefit of the doubt. It's like when we talk about NFL preseason, right? If you play well in the NFL preseason, what do people say? Yeah, it's a preseason, doesn't matter. But if you play poorly, oh my god, you're awful, right? There's no upside, it's all downside. And that's a place where Nick fans know.

They've lived there for years and years where there's no upside and everything's a downside. With regard to the Minnesota Timberwolves, it is because they're immature and they don't execute now. They've been better this year. You gotta give them credit. Curry or no Curry, they've executed. When it came time to put their foot on the throat Anthony Edwards did it I think everyone trusts Anthony Edwards It's the other characters that we wonder about also nix fans right now have zero

excuses available to them with no Tatum with a shell of poor Zingas and We all talk about tatum nobody talks about poor Zingas 20-point score a shell of himself if you blow a three-to-one lead To a team missing two of its stars You're an embarrassment if you blow a three-to-one lead to Luke Cornett and Derek White and that's what this is Okay, that's what this is all about. I want to talk to you guys because I don't want to leave this this Toronto situation very much because the suffering of historically fan base is so much is happening in sports right now that we weren't even able to mock the cavaliers for being the cavaliers in the last round because we just skipped right

past that so i want to get back to this toronto maple leafs of the of the your fan a list a podcaster who's being hurt by, I don't want the short sound, I want just all the crazy, this is halfway through the game. It's a shame that you were listening on radio while it had some benefits. This play that he is right to flip out over this play.

Well no, Marner had bad turnover, but the Reinhardt patience with the pass. It's incredible, and by the way, Sam Reinhardt would have had one of the coolest goals of all time. If that goal actually went in that he kicked up from his skate and in mid air slapped his stick at, and it did generate a goal. So it was a smart hockey play. And one thing that you can count on Sam Reinhardt to do,

because the offensive game hasn't been there in terms of results, but that dude on the defensive end, he's somehow turning it up when his team needs him. Mitch Marner is a really good defender and his defense yesterday was pathetic. It was a pathetic effort from somebody who's going to cash out this summer. He's going to make max money in that sport and he is someone who people have openly questioned in the playoffs. Austin Matthews as well. For those two stars, we'll worry about Austin Matthews. He needs to score goals, but at least he's a captain. He was showing effort in that last two minutes. What

Mitch Marner was doing last night was so pathetic. The fact that that guy has two shots in his last four games is insulting to anybody that's ever worn blue in Toronto. Mike, Auston Matthews has appeared in 10 playoff games in the second round in his career. All ten of those are against the Florida Panthers. Donut. Zero goals. This is the best American hockey player by consensus, Austin Matthews. Well, he's supposed to be. He's supposed to be.

Okay, he's losing that title as we speak overrated uh... overrated actually over all of our jobs really overrated at that for nations final who let connor mcdave it connor mcdave it wide open in the high slot was austin matthews greg kody are you willing in the second round of the playoffs to escalate these playoffs to the place that last year's playoffs escalated to. Billboards for McDavid that he's overrated. You're now saying exceptionally overrated?

Yes, he's supposed to be the best U.S.-born player in the league. Obviously it's Matthew Kachuk, but he's a puddle on the ice right now, Auston Matthews. He's done nothing for that team in this series. If I'm a Leafs fan looking for a scapegoat I start with Austin Matthews in this series I start with him I don't even think Matthew is the best Kachuk there you go you better be careful saying I love Maddie Matthew Kachuk is my favorite hockey player of all time. Don't say that out loud. He's better than Brady. No he's not better than Brady. Brady Kachuk is unbelievable he's better defensively he's bigger he's more

dependable and consistent goal scorer Brady Kachuk. Brady Kachuk is unbelievable. He's better defensively, he's bigger, he's more dependable and consistent goal scorer. Brady Kachuk is a superior player. I love Brady Kachuk, we're all Americans here. Come on, what are we doing? Which do you think was a better feeling? Brad Marshand scoring the game-winning overtime goal in game three? Deflected.

Or what Brad Marshand was feeling after he got his game misconduct last night walking off the ice and that Maple Leafs fan yelling whatever he was yelling at him and Marshand smiling and saying to himself I effing own you. And that Maple Leafs fan if you read the lips he is going hard so that is that he is wearing all six of those goals that are on that scoreboard there are f-bombs flying out of his mouth he's saying vile stuff look at the panther employee behind like just like clutching

his pearl yeah well but let let it be stated for the record okay I think we all know this when I don't need the scoreboard to know that it's six one marsh and wins if you're the fan that's down six one yelling at him f u in that particular instance he doesn't have to do anything but smile because that is utopia for marsh and marsh and walking into your country looking your fans in the face and your f bombing him on the way out he couldn't get this feeling in Boston.

He had to go to Florida to get that feeling. I didn't know I worked for the Panthers. It does look like you. One person that I don't question on the Maple Leaf so is William Nylander. When he's out there, he gives it his all. William Nylander has had like four straight rushes at the net unopposed, and Sergei Bobrovsky over the last two games has been so dynamite those are massive. Standing on his head. Let's not forget

the Matthew Nyes breakaway against the Panthers that could have put the Panthers in a 3-0 hole. Sergey Bobrovsky deserves more praise in this playoff run I think so far that he got last. Do you realize a playoff Bob is a thing I'm shocked by it but Chris Cody just said in my ear. He was not joking He just said because he said it out loud to everybody stand on his head He stood on his head and then he said to me I have no idea what that phrase means I hear him say it all the time though. It's a hockey thing. It's you're making goal saves while on your head It's something that is exclusive to attendees and keeps

It's a prison term too, right? You doing the bit like dude on my head like that means like it doesn't matter like I do that I've never been in prison. No, I don't know. What are you doing on your head in prison? You don't know I'm upside down. I would do so poor in prison a vending machine for sex What you have them paying? Just it would go so poor. Just a revolving door be like the bevy machine. Let's play the long clip there, please.

Give me the long video clip of that fan-alist going crazy. Again, I will repeat, this is halfway through the game. It got worse after that. This is the pain halfway through. Mitch, what was that? Here come the Panthers off a spinny backhand pass and they score. Mitch, what on earth are you frigging doing?

What? What's going through your head when you did that? What is your major malfunction? What made you think that was the move? The Panthers have Jesper friggin' Boquist up on their top line tonight! And he just buried you clowns! Three-nothing in your own barn halfway through a game five? You guys suck!

Live odds Florida minus one thousand at the time is a nice little touch. Do you realize that that right there, if I could put it in a scrapbook for all time and Barry Marshand in a box right now, he'd say, remember me that way. I do that to people just please remember me forever That's what I do to people. It sounds like love. It sounds like joy Marshawned went to bed last night looking like Zaslow at the end of the game Just cause he beat you 6-1 you hate him and you can't sleep anymore Hey friends, it's Jerobar here and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which
