You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertor Show with the Stugat Sputcast. A pretty fun and significant night tonight in the NBA. I really don't want to lose sight of the fact that in basketball tonight, drafted first is going to be the extremes of human evolution. Like, on the evolutionary chart, the thing at the end of it that is the most evolved is going to be picked first today among human beings who have evolved. So we'll get to that in a second.

But Charlotte Wilder had her heart broken last night, among human beings who have evolved. So we'll get to that in a second. But Charlotte Wilder had her heart broken last night, and we've got other NBA draft things to talk to Amin about. Soon, they will have a nebulous project up in the air that Metal Lark supports where they work together on these things. But Charlotte, what happened last night? Because I wanna analyze Porzingis.

Did anyone have this comment? Like Porzingis, we hear about all the trades. Porzingis to the Celtics. And then Marcus Smart is going to be the veteran leader they need in Memphis evidently. But Charlotte, you've had your heart broken, correct? Because you liked that Celtics team and you liked that he was the heart of,

and the soul and the gritty and the green hair of that Celtics team. Yeah, Marcus Smart was my favorite player in the Celtics team. I have Marcus Mark was my favorite player on the Celtics team. I have loved what he's done for Boston, what he's meant for Boston. That's like the corny's thing you can say as a fan, but I was so sad last night. A friend texted me and said, I'm devastated about Marcus Smart and it was like 12, 10 a.m. and I was like, what? And I panicked and I go to Twitter and I was like, oh my God, no.

And I felt like someone had broken up with me. Like, you know, you guys were giving me crap because I wasn't sad enough when they, when the heat went up three-o. I was like, am I about to cry? Like, I'm still, I can't even, I'm so sad. I'm so sad. I can't, like, from a basketball standpoint,

I don't know if it makes sense. I think it I Personally think it's sort of stupid, but you know, I mean you can tell us if that's true or not, but like from a fan person standpoint I'm in a bad place right now. I mean this is interesting because a human being who cares about the Celtics and all the joy they've given loves how hard Marcus mark tries, but they just got better, didn't they? I'm just mad I can't say Marcus Schmott anymore. It's not Marcus. That's right, Dan Charlotte is a human being and she does care about the boss of Celtics,

but I don't know if they got better in the sense that they got great return on value for Marcus Marta. I'll say that. He traded me get two first round picks, which geez. All right. And Chris, I was for Zingas. That's awesome. But I think when you look at the Celtics, there's two things. One is what were they missing more than anything? Yes, they size would help. You know, Robert Williams is injury prone. Al Huffington is 800 years old. So yes, having some size would have helped. Absolutely. But more than anything,

they don't have a passer. They don't have someone who sets the table. But I have someone who cares who's got it going, who needs to get it going. They don't have that guy on that team. Marcus Smart is not that guy, but he's pretty much the closest thing they had to that. And he just got rid of it for another guy who wants his shots and his touches and his opportunities. And so there's that element of it, like you didn't get better. You got worse at the thing that you needed to get better at. But then the other part of it is that look at the Celtics team.

And I say, what are the dogs on this team? Shout out to George Sedano. Give me some dogs. Who are the dogs? Smark of smart and Grant Williams. Smart's gone gone and grant Williams looks like he's not coming back either So you basically got rid of all the blue collar hardworking dirt Soul of the team and added another guy who again won shots and touches and all those things and it's not a knock on porzingus As a player is just a knock on the Celtics addressing

on porzingus as a player is just a knock on the Celtics addressing fictional needs and ignoring real ones. Charlotte, for a moment here, I just want all of us to bask in how professional and wonderful your shot looks and how grainy and from the 1980s, maybe a Jacksonville gas station with a curtain, a mean, a professional, and the ledge professional here to give in that shutter. It's unbelievable how shitty a mean shot is. He stumbles in with bad lighting and not, you know, late. And Charlotte is here professionally to analyze the things that are happening

and everything around her looks so much sharper than what you've got going on. I mean, you look, your video looks jaund it look your video looks like it has a liver disease Hey, dad, I don't know Remind us one more time the Charlotte's a human being a good chemistry good chemistry You will catch it on a nebulous future that the mean show has with Charlotte Wilder Charlotte You've noticed how much better your shot is than his yes Well with Charlotte Wilder Charlotte you've noticed how much better your shot is than his yes well uh... first of all i don't know if you can call me professional when i come on here as a

quote journalist and cry about mark is smart leaving like let's uh... let's let's tamp it down but i don't want to put on a pedestal here then let's relax a little bit sounds like journalism to me i'm not saying it journalism. I'm just saying your shot looks crisp. And a mean, a means looks like it has something communicable that it is contracted. I want everyone to know that I want to look like I came from heaven with light coming from behind me. God sent me to save this God for safe and show. And you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna go back and tell God not happening. Charlotte, I can't make another one. Charlotte, can you please, do you think your team has gotten any better? Can you fall in love with Porzengas? Cause he's seven foot four and what he does is fairly ridiculous. I mean, yeah, if he's healthy, if he can do it,

I don't know, I feel like what they need is someone who's gonna go out there. I mean, Marcus Smart, I saw a stat that the Celtics were net positive over nine years when he was on the court. Like he, they, he's such, you know, it means that when he's on the court, they're good. Chris, that's what it means. And I think, and I think that like, I don't know, maybe it wasn't nine years. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm making everything up now. But I just feel like he was so the heart of a team that now as a mean said, I don't think it has one.

I don't know who this team is anymore. Like you bring in Porzinga, you're sure he's tall, he's big. But what we need right now is someone who's going to put that fire in them so that when they put when they go down put cream in it when they go down. He has put, forgive me Charlotte, he has put cream on me. He's not there. Why were on this?

Why were on this subject? Forgive me for a second Charlotte. Video team, can you please put together on the screen right now, the AI that we were playing with that were combining eddies, eddies, and I'll explain this to Charlotte and Amine in a second, but earlier in the show that I wanna know which one is more offensive to you.

I'll ask each of you the question. Charlotte, for one member of the shipping container, I will not tell you which one to refer to Freddie Mercury as Eddie Mercury, is that worse than another member of the shipping container in the first hour of our show referring to Penny Hardaway as Anne Freeney Hardaway and Freeney Hardaway. Which one is worse there, Charlotte? I love her books.

I mean, Eddie is definitely closer to Freddie than than whatever the I mean, which one are you more offended by? I greatly enjoy the works of Anne Freeni, Hardaway, someone with best young adult horror books that I've ever read. Okay. A staple of my childhood. The video team has spent the entire break up merging famous eddies with Freddie Mercury in order for AI to create an Eddie Mercury. I will say that Freddie, like that's pretty bad. Freddie Mercury is, he's up there on my pantheon of people who matter. I mean, if you haven't, okay, that's wild.

If you haven't seen the, I wanna break free music video, go watch it right now is all I'm saying. Charlotte, I'm sorry to do crazy. I'm sorry to do this too. Oh, any monster, come on. And I thought it was witty. I mean, oh,

for those of you just listening on audio, I mean, is now put cream on the screen we can't see and he seems distorted, he seems like an FBI informant and his voice has been modulated. But I just saw whoopie Goldberg from the movie Eddie. The basketball movie Eddie combined with Freddie Mercury to make Eddie Mercury and I heard Roy help me out here because I'm guessing Charlotte doesn't even

knew know the movie Eddie. Chris Cody set out loud to people that Eddie was a good movie and recommended it to Jeremy Tashay. It's good. I mean, I need to see what the VHS cover look like to jog some memories. Cinephob had a review of that movie by the way Eddie. I believe it was a foe. I mean, was it a fob? Resorted it was episode one oh seven of Cinephob a Zack Harper founded a Major I both Hit it with the foam. It's about a fan who gets made into the head coach of the team because she was very critical of the head coach before Also, there's a subplot where they want to sell the team and move it to St. Louis.

So basically it was major league for basketball. But worse, way worse. Also, any Breckery or answer mother calls her, and we know Breckery. I think it's important that the audio audience knows we're not putting a filter over. No, he's really good at it really do it is amazing i don't think we can do it as well with a filter uh... but i mean can you just give us your thought like your most interesting thoughts about what were headed into this evening and should charlotte feel very good about her team given that

i thought the broad and injury kind of matter uh... the broad and all during the season, Braggden was important for them and their offense fell apart. The moment that Braggden's arm fell apart. Dan, I'm sorry. How can you say, should I feel good when I'm in a time of mourning? I've just been dumped. I don't feel good about anything.

I'll talk to you about it next year. This is awful. Okay. Bloody efficiency, Charlotte. Bloody efficiency. But, uh, no, the original deal was a lot weather for I think the Saltrix, even though I still don't think Portuguese, uh, it feels a need.

I just think that, you know, keeping smart would have been a lot more advantageous than acquiring those two for fraught picks. Give me, give me 45 seconds to end the segment on just things we need to watch for the draft tonight in that voice. You mean yourself? Did you mute yourself?

Okay, excellent work as always. What? Alright, you're on. Go ahead. 30 seconds. I just want the Portland Trailblazers, debut look to have a certain amount of just All right, just the worst. He's just stop it Just stop it Charlotte. I can't wait to see what nebulous projects you prefer you produce with amino acid

That's the name of the show nebulous Nebulous progress plan and nebulous See you guys later. Thank you for all your hard work. I mean you're a useless drunk. I'm an alien and Charlotte's a human being ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad! ¡Vamos a la nubilidad!

What about just either? Let me start again. Stugats, he's the closer. Comes in, night thinning, closes the game out. His name is Kenli Jansen. He has blamed his recent... This is the Don Lebertard show with this two-gats. We've got a real hot streak going here. Brockmeyer has shown up at the appointed time ready to give us content. It's not exactly the podcast I expected, but it is a weekly hit semi-regular weekly hit where we check in with our favorite sports broadcaster. He continues

to drink too much even though season four on Hulu. He was totally sober and it was a happy ending now. He's back on the sauce. Brockmeyer, thank you for being on with us again. A little early to be hitting the Sazirac. Never too early to hit the Sazirac grow up. And that's just part of the intro now. Just whining about it's not a podcast. And G you fell off the wagon. I'm like worse than my mother, ladies and gentlemen. Can you just say worse than my mother on it? My goodness.

Okay, let's see. Video team, can you put up on the screen, please, something that makes it look like my hat says worse than your mother. Continue, Brockmeyer. Yeah, that's very finished. And there's plenty of room on your gigantic hat too. It's like a billboard. Anyway, as you say, I am here and ready to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you.

I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you.

I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you.

I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. corpses of them. And our nation turns its lonely eyes back to the national passion. No, no, no, we'll get to baseball in a second, but we gotta talk first about no, no, no, but the NBA draft is tonight. After that, love letter to baseball. What's the matter? I mean, honestly, I'm supposed to be the baseball expert, right?

That's why your beloved precious podcast, that's why you want me to do it. And you're talking about the draft. We're talking about the draft, not a game, not games that are being played, not a baseball game. We're talking about the NBA draft, not a game, practice, practicing for the future, not a game that I go out there and die for and call every game like it's my last, not the game that's being played of baseball. We're talking about the draft, the draft.

How silly is please, the draft. Okay. You know what? Yeah, I'm on board. You know what? First, let me get drunk. It's a big night. It's the draft. It's the NBA draft.

No, no, I do actually all that said, I want to talk about it, the draft. Because let's call it what it is. It's a televised employment fair, okay? The climax of which amounts to reading a list of non-alphabetical names into a microphone. And by the way, boy, this annoys me. But it is always talking about how the draft is so inspiring.

It's so uplifting. I don't find anything worthwhile about watching young men being forced to randomly live in a city that is not of their choosing. What's good about that? The American dream is to work hard. This American dream, you're in your awful hometown, right? You work very hard and hope that someday, someday, maybe you might earn enough money to choose to live in a slightly less awful place, okay? But these young men damn completely denied that choice. They get handed an adjustable hat instead and an Adam

Silver says to them, oh well, I'm normally normally a tall man, you live in Orlando now, and you're definitely. Which NBA city do you imagine would be your least favorite in the city? Oklahoma City. I've started to jump on you. I knew where you were going. That is the worst place in the world. It's just so obvious.

No point in pretending to pause for reflection. You've been okay, Steve. Have you been there? I have not, no, I've not. Okay, I drove through it one time and I kind of blacked out from boredom because you know what's nice occasionally like a hill or a frickin' forest?

Entire city is a flat drive pancake of oil derrickson asphalt. And I'm sorry, people of Oklahoma City, no, I'm sorry. Come on. I feel bad O.K.C. people if you're just traveling to work now or doing the dishes or whatever, boring thing you're doing and all of a sudden you just got caught and you caught this tray, but you got to understand, I mean, please, I mean, you do live in Oklahoma City, you get it, right?

I mean, you live there. You're like, wow, come on. I may be thinking, hey, I know what they're O'Casey right now. What about Sacramento? That's horrible. True. But Sacramento is at least in California, which is an hour's drive or an hour's flight from some of the greatest cities in the world.

O'Casey is only impressive in contrast to the rest of Oklahoma. That's like living up wind from an outhouse. It's the only best option if you forced to live near pals or shit. So, okay, all right, option if you forced to live in your piles of shit. Okay. All right. Enough of that.

Don't do that. But young men are being sent there against the real thing. We have listeners there. We have listeners. Do you have any predictions about Victor Wembe, Wembe Njama? Mike Ryan is out. He's got his doubts about Wembe Njama. This might be a tricky name for you to say drinking.

It's a tricky name for me to send out. Wembe Njama. Wembe Njama. No, I woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a, no, I can't believe Mike's not there. I was ready to tear him a new one about that. I heard him the other day that Victor, I'm gonna quote Mike, Mike said he's not good. That's how he assessed Victor, women, I'm a,

over the top contrary to objective reality that the rest of his share, I mean, I'm worried about him that he's gotten bailess pilled, you know? And Mike, if you're listening to this, excuse me. Oh, come on, my good boy. Come on, see a professional.

You know, I am, I just need the lubrication. And sometimes it comes back at me. Mike, if you're listening, you're too young to go full-skid bailiff, okay? Because this is how it starts. You start out with a few wild takes that seem like fun, and then 20 years go by in a flash, and suddenly you're a slab of beef jerky

with unnaturally white teeth snarling about LeBron James. I mean, let's be honest, Mike is halfway there now. So, I think it's safe to say that I disagree with him on that one. Wimbing Yama is not overrated, because here's a fun stat. I heard a lot of the stats he was spouting. Here's a counter stat to all that.

And I am well known for my knowledge of analytics, and this one just stood out to me. He's seven foot five, okay? His fingers are 12 inches long. Did you see the pick? You see? Yeah, there is. Look at him holding a baseball in his hand. It's like a mentors in his hand. I mean, if the guy ever took a dick pick, you'd have to have somebody else hold his Johnson just to give it the proper scale. Come on. What? The guy can go. Rim and the three point line at the same time. He doesn't need to move.

Yeah. That's the whole game these days, three-pointers and layups. On day one of his NBA career, Mike Ryan, this kid will be the single best player at disrupting both layups and threes. And here's my prediction, Dan, and his rookie season, Wembing Yammer, we'll get at least one triple double with 10 blocks or more. Okay, can the good people at draft kings help us out with that friendly wage right? I'd like to bet my grand personally on that. Nobody's doing it with blocks except on the white side in the Puerto Rico.

You don't feed out the stand up. Yes, he is. Thoughts on Zion Williamson, please. He might leave the pelicans and he's embroiled in that whole sex scandal thing. I mean, I feel very bad for this young man, Dan, because I know what that is like, for your dirty laundry to be out in the street,

you do, you know. And to be, I really do. And to be judged and kink shamed. I mean, for consensual, I take a sip when I mess up. Yeah, that's right, consensual. Consensual. Consensual. I did well with Wemanyama.

You did. I stumbled on Concentral. But these are consensual sex acts with a very attractive and very unstable women. I mean, I know that story all too well. So from one horny, mistake prone man to another's eye, and I am rooting for you, my fellow disgusting brother. And frankly, I'm pretty shocked

that the public is so fascinated by such vanilla Details about the young man sex leavening come on vanilla vanilla. I mean on Seemly vanilla Okay, not vanilla for squares like you Dan lebertard, but some of us have actually lived okay some of us Have plumbed the depths of our sexuality like, poorly made submersibles to the bottom of the ocean. Oh, come on, come on. Well, you come on, spitting in somebody's mouth.

I mean, a woman does that to me, that's bare to foreplay. If anything, that's like a friendly hello. That's just the intro business to get out of the way before the real adventure can begin spitting in somebody's mouth. Who cares? If you get a cast of spursions on Zion, I think it could be argued that he does have some impulse

control issues, like, you know, similar to John Moran, only instead of flashing guns on the internet, Zion's issue sounds like a classic case of, of Door Dashes smash. I don't know what that, I don't know what that term is. What I'm on for. Oh, I'm so excited I know a term that the kids invented and somebody else doesn't the kids came up with that

That's where door to action smash is where you order large amounts of fast food and then you time the deliveries So that the meal arrives right directly after the completion of all sexual activities You so please try it with a good lady wife Dan Levitard because you haven't lived until you're eating lemon pepper wings in the bed that you've just sort with bodily juices. I mean, mere seconds before. No, no. Yes, whiny girl. And I wouldn't argue that door dash and smash is a recipe for the healthiest mind and body. Now let's face it, that's the real issue with Zion, this is body.

I mean, it's a one of a kind athleticism, trapped in a frame that so obviously just wants to chunk out and become riddled with gout. Oh, come on. I mean, there's a, well, really, there's a war brewing inside him between the athlete that he is and the fat guy that his body clearly yearns to be.

And I still believe in him. I believe in Zion. On the court, he's got that dog in him promise that off the court that dog is always just so hungry like uh... don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't fat shame him i'm not i'm just stating facts here i mean they are he's obviously got uh...

uh... like a eating a pack of uncooked hotdog. I can't even say it. He's hungry, hungry man. He's got to take it easy. He's got to tame that dog. And no matter what a sex lab is, he's not going to live up to his vast potential if he doesn't.

And you know, I'm getting a little distracted. I'm sorry I messed up that last bit. Well, but I don't understand what you were saying about uncooked hotdogs. I'm saying that there's, he's got a genuine dog on the court off the court. That dog is very hungry, like eating a pack of uncooked hot dog straight from the fridge kind of. Okay.

There it is. Okay. That is very hungry. Yes. What's distracting me is the absence of, of, of stugots. I haven't once heard the nicotine so death rattle that is his lab. And I assume that he of all people

would be into the weird sex that I was just talking about. Where's Stugots? He's on vacation again. He's following dead and company around. Oh, get out of here. He is. He's following the, that's where he is. Yes.

Okay, no fair. I call no fair. Nobody told me, you can use vacation time to get paid to do drugs. Okay, well, I'm a sucker. Because this whole time I've been doing drugs and still showing up to work. I didn't know there was another option here.

Are you on drugs right now? Are you high at this moment? Is that why you botched your uncooked hot dogs thing? Am I usual, Sazirac? And no, I am not on drugs. Well, yes, I'm on a little bit of drug. You know what I'm cooked hot dogs thing. Got my usual Sazarac and no, I am not on drugs. Well, yes, I'm on a little bit of drug. You know what I'm doing? I'm micro-dosing about a quarter ounce of mushrooms right now.

That's not micro-dosing. Well, my drug tolerance is very big. It's as big as Victor Wimbinga, him as fingers. So for me, a gallon size Ziploc back of magic mushrooms, that's mic pro. And I'm fine, by the way. Look, I can touch the, I can do the thing, you know, the roadside tear. I'm totally good. I mean, you are moving around the frame a little bit, Dan, but honestly, it's kind of nice to see at least you're getting some exercise in my hallucinations. It's very nice.

Come on. You're going to fetch me too, come on. No, I'm sorry, Dan, you look great. Anyway, I wish us two got a lot of fun. I wish them the best. I understand why I had to drop all of his responsibilities and fly out to New York and Boston to hear a couple of 80-year-old men jam out on stage because as everybody knows,

if there's one thing that improves with age, boys, it ever improvisational guitar solos. Oh, I had some fun stuff. I think John Mayer now plays with them. He's the youth of the of the troupe. John Mayer's the new blood, huh? Playing with the last few living members of the Grateful Dead. Oh, I retract my sarcasm, man. Because everybody knows, boys, sprinkle a little John Mayer on anything.

That'll enhance the experience of watching elderly people do things that they used to be good at. Geez, maybe Stu Gotzenack can split another bag of shrooms and watch a 94 year old Bob Kuzi and John Mayer play a little one on one. That was fun as watching frail, near death men

struggle through Uncle John's band. All right, let's talk baseball now. I'm done with John Mayer joins the dead. My goodness. I am done with music opinions. Let's talk baseball, please, please. Finally, great. That's why Ryan and Stugas took off, right? Because they knew we had to talk baseball today. So they bugged out my goodness. I get to finally talk about literally the only sport being played right now in America on this, what is a sports podcast? Thanks for allowing me the privilege. Well, well, well, well, well, well, I can't argue with, man, I can't argue with that. Man, you're good. You are good, Dan Levertar.

I understand, I get it. It's an opinion that is shared by many folks, especially young folks about why baseball's no longer a national sport, have a theory on it. I think it's because baseball's every day, which means there's no pause in the action, which means there is nothing for the sports media industrial complex to talk and dissect and argue about. So instead of all that hot air, There's no pause in the action, which means there is nothing for the sports media industrial

complex to talk and dissect and argue about. So instead of all that hot air, there's always another actual game to play and to watch. See, baseball is the Steven Soderberger sports, Dan. So prolific for so long. It becomes hard to appreciate it. There's just too much of it to take in, but I would argue that's also what makes baseball so very special That it is every day. It's constant Especially now and the time when everything seems to be in flux. Doesn't it? Everything just seems broken

So many things seem to be changing for the worst like off the top of my head at a thin air, right? Yeah, like two examples that gee. Oh, hey, how about the fact that our global climate is irrevocably f**ked? And that fascism is on the rise and I mean all over the world. Or more locally, the fact that in your state of Florida, they are banning the public discussion of black history from public schools.

I mean, kudos over there. Scariest, scariest stuff. Kind of news that can cause any rational person to just spin out and doomspiral. Or instead you took a nice deep breath and know that there's a baseball game on today, just like there was a baseball game on yesterday and every spring and every summer day

since the Civil War. Only American institution that's still functioning since then day and I encourage everyone to grab onto it like a railing is our democracy and our environment just all down the stairs like elderly guitar players of stugatsu's favorite man alright rock my i was good seeing you again always a pleasure good having you back stay out of the drink please start drinking a little later in the day good talking to you you Brockmeyer. I love you Dan.

I'm in love with you. There I said it. Okay, that was unnecessary. I appreciate your time though. Your love, thank you for that as well. You're very welcome. Thank you. Otherwise I'm just dead inside.

Except for my feelings for you. Don Lebertard. I mean, they used to call me Chris karaoke. Stugatz. Oh, karaoke. That back row is bringing it today. This is the Don Leverta Show with a Stugats! My apologies to the audience here.

We have wandered away in the speed of the last hour where a drunken brockmire intervenes on the show next to an explorer who tells us what it's like to go to the most uninhabitable places on earth. I mean in Charlotte. I mean in Charlotte. This, well, this was both funny and disappointing to me that on a pretty big night in sports, people do enjoy no matter how much Brock Meyer makes fun of it. The absurdity of the NBA draft. We went to a mean, our basketball expert,

and all we learned is that he's good at doing a modulated voice. That was wild. Glad we learned it, though, because that was amazing. Right, but we didn't learn anything about the draft. We didn't get smarter as an entity. You don't need some stuff. It's much better than Chris Cody's

awful distorted voice person. Maybe. No, I wish you hadn't. Regardless, that's all I learned from Amine in the doing of what was ostensibly our basketball coverage. But the place that I failed and the place that I need to apologize to the audience for is slowly over the course of this show.

I have got further and further somehow away from boogie in your butt. And Roy, earlier in the show, alleged that Eddie Murphy had a hit song in the 80s and the hit song that he mentioned was not party all the time. The one he did with and around Rick James That was I think that was a certifiable number one song in America and that's the hit that I think of when I think of Eddie Murphy Did it ever gets a number one or never got to number one? But at the time highest ranking was two. Oh you over US all right silver medal. That's kind of like one though Yeah, if you make it just two. It's a one. It's close. Yeah

Well, you say that but but the heat were two, and I said that was good enough as a season, and everyone said I'm a loser. It is good enough for me. I just want that stated. It wouldn't platinum. Put it on the pole, please. Would you be totally fine if your number two song

in the world never got to number one? And you just had to settle for number two, you loser. Where in life is second place best? That's just putting that out there for people to think about we can come back to when we have to. A firing squad. Death is good. Firing squad, I'll see.

Same, same category. Regardless, Roy said it's Boogie in the butt. Is the name of the song? Boogie in your butt. Boogie in your butt. Yes. And the song boogie in your butt boogie in your butt Yes, and how high did that get on the charts because I've never even heard of the song on the R&B chart It went 56 Okay, but the R&B chart is not the overall chart

I think you just chose a number that better suits your argument. I do it's like us being first in sports But like 98 overall I'll give you this, though, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B instrumental performance. So, you know, not the vocal, but still something. Could be. Not the part that Eddie Murphy did. No. Correct. You just fraudulently tried to bolster your argument by going, what, give me some of the songs before this on the R&B chart. Are there any bangers on there? Or once you songs before this on the R&B chart are there any bangers on there or once you get to 56 on the R&B chart any given week are you really slogging through just what was released that week in music well I would have to look for the year day only I only

look for the songs I'll go but you were cheating you're trying to bolster your argument Jeremy can you give me some of the lyrics to the illustrious hit that Roy is going to be in? Yes, I can. Get me the lyrics, please, to Boogie in your butt. I want to know what this song is about. So I will say, uh, prefacing this. Some of it, not surprisingly, bit outdated. Okay, well, we are now at the risk of getting canceled. Uh, understand that this was a song from a long time ago, and I have not edited edited it but the starting point is the song's name is Buggie in your butt. You're good. That's right. Thank well here. Hold on a sec. Maybe this covers it. Time to throw away all your realistic credibility and get reckless. Here is something we like to call

Rugless speculation. You're good? Sure. In your butt, put the boogie in your butt. I ain't putting no boogie in nobody's butt. That's nasty man. What you talking about? Put in boogie in people's butt. Are you out of your mind? Or something? Could go to jail for doing something like that.

Still true in 9 states. Do you think this would be any better or frory we're doing it? Are you up now? Let's try this. I'm doing my best. I'm just slightly ending you a slightly better. better for you were doing it no are you are you are you up now let's try this to do my best slightly any of you slightly better chairman i think it's pretty bad lyrics chairman you want to handed over it let's call for a reliever like roi does in the bedroom

when he needs a complete game billy a.o. oh i'm getting a billy let's go and not denying it let's uh... uh... are we sure that we want to do this. No. Okay, I can keep going. No, oh god, please no.

Uh, how about, how about one of you, let's see who does this better. Roy, go ahead and you do it, please. In your butt, put the boogie in your butt, put put the boogie in your butt, in your butt, put the boogie in your butt, put put the boogie in your butt. I ain't putting no boogie in nobody's butt.

That's nasty, man. What are you talking about? Putting the book in people's butts? Are you all your mind or something? Could go to Jeff us doing something like that. Well, step aside my friend, I've been doing it for years. I say sit on down, open your eyes and open your ears. Say, say put a tree in your butt, put a bumblebee in your butt. What? Put a clock in your butt. What? Put a big rock in your butt. Say put some fleas in your butt. What put a clock in your butt put a big rock in your butt say puts a fleez in your butt Yeah, not much better. No, not much worse somehow say start the sneezing your butt say put a 10 can in your butt Put a tiny little man in your butt say put a lightning your butt say make it bright in your butt

Put a tiny little man you know but, so you put a lightning you but, so you make it bright in your butt. So you put a TV in your butt. I would go. So you put it in your butt. Everybody say, I'm not doing it. Oh no you did it though, you did it. No you did it. You did it. Congratulations.

Yeah. Roy. Yes. Before the show today. What? I told Chris Cody. I said Chris Cody, this feels like the 11-win heat roster that I was working with today. 15-win.

Yeah, you corrected me last time on this. Yes, a 15-win heat roster that Ann Fernoway. Ann Fernie. I think we're getting farther away from what the truth was there, Dan. I think I said Anfreeni. Absolutely not. You said Anfreeni. Anfreeni. An said, Anne Franey. Anne Franey. Anne Franey, yes.

You said Anne Franey, and I mentioned earlier in the show that this roster construction was not good enough to play an NBA game with. And Roy said, just throw me the ball. I've got it in the post. Just throw it to me. I'll give you 40 points. And look at what you just gave me when I asked you to read some lyrics You fell apart you couldn't do it. You did it worse than Jeremy who was doing it planning bad for all of us

Would you like to hear the second verse Dan? Sure, we'll step aside my friend and let me show you how to do it when big bad E just rock rock to it Put a case in your butt say put a metal case in your butt. Put her face in your butt. I can't fit anything else in my butt. Put a frown in your butt. Put a clown in your butt. Say sit on down in your butt.

Say put a boat in your butt. Say put a boat in your butt. Put a mink coat in your butt. Put everything in your butt. Just start to sing about your butt. Feels really good when you sing about your butt. That's verse two. Not only did you call for the ball,

bad enough that you would say I got us. I got us as a show. You said that was a hit song. You Roy Bellamy said that at some point in America, people listened to those lyrics and were like, that's a song that I want to dance to, putting everything in the world in my butt. 56 on the R&B charts.

What else is in front of it? I can't find it. No, of course. That year's sexual healing won the Instrumental R&B Award over Buggie and Your Butt. I feel like in this starting five, I'm Shane Badiay. I'm a guy, everyone's happy on the team happy is here, but he's not really doing anything to really help you win the game.

Like, he's just gonna do a lot of things that people are a tippy toe three, take a charge. We're still gonna lose. Is it any tippy toe three guys? No, tippy toe three is Antoine Walker. Oh. I feel like he had a little tippy toe. If we were doing a top three tippy toe,

three point shooter in Heat History, Antoine Walker number one, Shane Batie number two. I believe you just confused in heat history. Antoine Walker number one shame baddie number two. I believe you just confused shame baddie and Antoine. No, no, no, no. Antoine Walker did more to help the team win than shame baddie. Yeah. You're your Tony snow. You're not on this heat team. You're not you're not on this heat team. You're just generally someone in the NBA who will give you a good team guy, but will give you a lot of 27 minutes zeros across the board. But everyone likes him. Everyone likes to play with him.

Everyone likes Tony Snow. And he's my... DeAndre Jordan, that's who Chris is. Best friend. That's offensive. Best friend hanging out, being there doing absolute. Champion.

This is a game, but a champion. What NBA player is Chris Cody? Deandre Jordan, champion friend. I'm, I can, no. My, my shot's a little better than his. I don't know. I'm more versatile than him. You want to look at the career earnings of Deandre Jordan?

Oh, money wise, I mean. Well, I, I am overpaid for sure. So, a compliment. Deandre Jordan's game is limited, but he's a good friend and every once in a while, he'll lure you, Kyry Irving and Kevin Durant, and they'll destroy your entire city. I feel like we can do better. I'm not accepting this one.

I'd rather be shame baddie a team guy. I want to ask you guys as we see this medium totally changing, dying in some places, how it is that you felt about the news, that ESPN radio, which was a juggernaut of influencing how some people consume sports, just got rid of their morning show of Max Kellerman, Jay Williams, and Kishan Johnson, because all of ESPN radio has sunk into the earth and there's not really a reason to listen to what they're doing there because they've kind of just given up on what has been a dying medium for a long time. It's not yet died, right?

Because there's still plenty of money in radio, plenty of familiarity, plenty of people who have listened for a long time that will continue to listen. But there is no reason to listen to ESPN radio for anything that used to be personalities, whether it was Mike and Mike that you got there, or Scott Van Pelt and Rusillo, or whoever it is that brought you up in ESPN, Tony Cornheiser a million years ago. ESPN radio used to be a destination. I legitimately, as someone birthed by that,

don't have any idea what is even in their lineup. I could not name one show in their lineup. I don't, everyone was saying, I criticize the ESPN for this. For me, if you're a big thing like ESPN, like why, just keep making shows till you get it right, till you stumble into them, I can like, I'm with you, it doesn't seem like there's a big plan there,

it doesn't seem like there's a lot of, it's disrespectful to say there's not a lot of thought that goes into it, because I'm sure there is, but it's just not, I'm not, but I'm just saying, I'm not sure that a lot of thought is going into whatever they're doing. There's very little proof of it.

I've listened to that show numerous times and it's not that great. So I don't... But I don't think a lot of thought is going into the craftsmanship required to do this well. I think they're just putting people at microphones. I feel like the only constant in the espions line up is Freddie Coleman.

The goat. Why did that make you laugh, Chris Cody? Just it's... He's right, he's been there for a while. I feel like the only constant in the espions line up is Freddie Coleman. The goat. Why did that make you laugh, Chris Goody? Just, it's huge.

It should be their forever.
