You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunluba Tarshall with the StugatSpotCas. Bar School, I think, just sent a bunch of t-shirts that they had ready to go to Nicaragua that had the word history on it. With the T was just Jimmy Butler on one knee, calling for a time out. Those shirts are now going to be dish rag somewhere. They were going to be something that made a lot of money for bar stool and Boston. And instead, they have fled the internet in Boston because they're in that position that he fans know pretty well of avoiding your television and

the internet because you don't want to hear all American sports fans laughing at you. Many people today have been laughing at us because we can't get a show out on time. We can't do anything about the fact that our building lost power. But Greg Cody has taken this opportunity as he often does to tweet in the middle of this while the power is out on the Levitard show, you can always get your Greg Cody fix right now. Listen to our latest episode at the Greg Cody show dot com. Greg Cody taking advantage of trying to steal our audience because we because the power went out. What are you shaking your head at me for? Listen, I have a massive staff on my podcast. It's two people that I pay. One of them does my social

media. That was not me who did that. I'm on the air with you. How can I have time to run my fingers on a keyboard and make a tweet? I didn't do that. I must have been yetty. Good job yetty, hasn't a side. I like the tweet. I just didn't do it. I would have approved of it, but they don't play with it with me. Do you have your back in my day? No, no, we don't have it today. It's quality control. It's a two-zone that feels like a Monday day and his defense. Holiday weekend. It's a double-dream disclaimer. Mm-hmm. Dan, um, I know I'm a guest on this show, but I thought this might happen. So If the room doesn't mind, I wrote a back in my day. Oh, you've got it back in my day.

You have done the job that Greg Cody does not do, even though he is here every Tuesday. Mike is on it for him. Brad Williams now does it for him. AI has done it for him. Everyone does it except for Greg Cody. That's the most. Holiday week. Yeah. It's, it's holiday week. Yeah.

It's laziness again rewarded. Jeremy Tashay here at the height of entertainment. Can you just hold your phone up to the microphone so that Brad Williams, a King of Comedy, can have the kind of show business accompaniment that he required. Now it is time to take a trip down memory lane. Here's your guy, Greg Cody. We're back in my day. that he required. $50 million draft king $50 million. Barbeque's.

It was Memorial Day this past weekend, and while the meaning of the holidays to remember and honor the sacrifices that brave men and women have made for our country, the reason so many of us get excited for the three-day weekend is we know it's a time-honored tradition to gather around the grill, pop the top on a miller light, and have a barbecue. Ah, the barbecue. One of the oldest known ways to cook. The first barbecue recipes are associated with the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations around 7,000 BC, back when Greg Cody was a fried teenager. The greatness of the barbecue is its simplicity. It, meat, fire, hell, you could even cook barbecue during a blackout. Not that you need to know that because when do extended blackouts happen especially in modern cities.

Never! The secret to great barbecue can also describe my sex life. Low and slow baby. Barbecues used to be simple. Have you seen barbecues now? Gas grills, electric grills, wood chip smokers. What kind of wood, maple, oak, mesquite, cedar, wood chips, hickory, cherry, pecan, mulberry, addler. Are these types of wood? Did I just name all the Nick Cannon's kids? What happened to What happened? We're doing it on a phone, Dan. Run it back. What happened there? Jack, when I was growing up, there was one type of barbecue. The Weber kettle.

You remember it? A big dome, like a feed roll of carnitas, beef, pork, ribs, and fish. This thing cooked it all, not with electricity or wood pellets, but good old fashioned charcoal. That's right. Charcoal, giving your burgers all the flavor of a coal mine. You got too close. You got too close. We start copying like Zoolander. Now the only place I can find charcoal is in my wife's face wash. Where's the audio? Jeremy, you are proudly holding the phone in the microphone. I'm doing my best.

We can't hear anything! I think Zoom, it prioritizes the other audio, so it's canceling the sound, but hey, it's here, and know that in spirit, it's here and know that in spirit it's here. There you go and cook time. You used to have to stand by the grill with your friends who would offer no cooking advice except to say you should flip that one. Now you have it at your phone that sends you a text alert when your meat is perfectly cooked. So you don't even have to mind the grill. You can go out and enjoy the party and wait for Tim Cook from Apple to tell you what it's time to eat. Whatever happens to dad standing by the grill, surveying his yard with an apron on his body displaying the words, kiss the cook. I finally remember my father, big Pete

Williams standing at the grill, casually flipping burgers, while screaming swear words at me to stop bothering my sister. A Miller light in one hand, a cigar in the other, some Bob Seager on the radio, and an occasional sexist joke. That was live and baby. Time to get back to that America. Throw down your face, talk. Your mumble rap. Your veggie burgers. And your hard self-serves.

Come back to what the barbecue is all about. It's about the American dream. It's about family, friends, burgers on the grill. Faithful on the radio. and a dusting of racism. And for God's sake, put on some sunscreen. I'm Brad Williams and that's how it was back in my day. That's my favorite one right there. Very good. Brilliant. How can it be? It was great, right? That every time that Jeremy didn't laugh, we heard music, or we didn't hear music, and then when Jeremy did laugh, we heard music. Mike, why are you shaking your head? I'm not explaining Zoom again. I thought

it was so far removed from the pandemic. I can't believe my life has led me back up here. Stop asking the questions. You're the one that wanted the bed. We did our best. Just end this show already. I have another question for you. And it's all my worst memories hitting back. This was supposed to be a joyous day. And Florida power and life has ruined it all.

And I blame you for because Miami, because this has Joe Corroyo's fingerprints all over it. Or Francis Wars. You have written on Twitter before the game, the heat will lose tonight and it won't be because of the refs. It'll be because they're a bad team, a bad team that got randomly hot. Oh, the mean is about to smack Miami in the face tonight. That's again for the second time in today's show.

You're welcome for reverse jinksing us into the face tonight. That's again for the second time in today's show. You're welcome for reverse jinksing us into the NBA finals. Everyone knows what I was doing there. It was a dominant performance by the reverse jinks. That's what I was doing. You're welcome. And for everybody quote tweeting and thinking that I wasn't doing that, the jokes on you, the real ones now. Billy, hey, you made a sound there, but perhaps Mike Ryan doesn't quite get to win there when he, like he did many times during this postseason run and during the season, totally bailed on all things he'd culture. I mean, who am I to tell Mike, he can't root for his team in the NBA finals?

You know what I mean? Tony, however, cannot root for this team because he wanted them to tank because he thought that they were going to get the number one pick, which is absolutely absurd. Michael's with me on that. Yeah, it was, but I've capitulated. I capitulated as well. Well, it was a I that said in the first place. It wasn't me. And yesterday was performance art. I knew that my team needed me after Derek White. They needed an all time reverse jinx. And I was willing to fall on that sword. And everyone wearing heat gear is happy. Derek White. They needed an all time reverse jinx. And I was willing to fall on that sword. And everyone wearing heat gear is happy I did.

They would be lying near face if they told you otherwise. Mike got an MVP vote from what I saw. Speaking of which, Reggie Miller, Mike, your thoughts. That clown. I was, you know, when, when, when March Jackson said that the splash brothers were the best and shooting back court of all time, we were all like, oh, that's ridiculous.

And then we thought about it and we're like, uh, maybe Bruce Brown, last week said, Nicola Yokech is the best big man of all time. I was like, that's crazy. Wait a second. He, he might be. And during the course of the broadcast last night, Reggie Miller had the foresight to say, you know what? Caleb Martin's the MVP of this series. I was like, that's ridiculous. And then I was the more I saw Caleb Martin play, the more I looked up the stats, the more I realized, Reggie Miller, you are an influencer. You have foresight. You want a great take, Reggie Miller? You you're right it's not the easiest thing to say Kayla Martin is the MVP of this series thank you for shedding light on this Reggie Miller and

in a five four vote very close to see who would win the Larry bird MVP player of the franchise or is it the Bob Coosie who who gives this shit it happened happened before mergers and expansion and honestly equal rights. Reggie Miller voted for Jimmy Butler. After all that, Reggie Miller voted for Jimmy Butler. That's how you do it, buddy. He said in Caleb Morn. Hey, hold on. He was the swing bump. He was the show reason. He controlled it.

He didn't get the MVP. How is that possible? He could throw the art and get the MVP How is that possible how it's possible then But how why why him and stand van Gandhi were both making the argument on television a Reasonable argument that when it became the most important time to win games Caleb Martin was the one helping them win games. Playing Bo Shide. No, he's playing, but he's not playing both Shides with the vote that he had. He played one Shide the wrong side, the different side. From the side he was telling us he was playing on television.

He didn't play his own side. You got to play your own Shide. How do you not play your own shine. Are you not playing your own shine? Putting on the Paul jujude, do you have to play your own shide? What is ESPN doing with its social media account recently? A lot of people have been asking questions in general, but now on

its social media account is the Celtics almost became the first team in NBA history to overcome an O3 series deficit The Celtics nearly did the impossible applause emoji Shamrock emoji Why are we celebrating what they did last night? They should do the other day. We're celebrating what they almost did To smith in the fact that an 8 18 made it to the NBA finals, right, Greg? We should have celebrated that the heat almost won game six. What are you doing?

That got a thing. Hello? What? We still have a chance? That kind of thing. Yeah, and you know it. I'm almost out of catchphrases here. You got to tell me if we're still ¡Aquí es una cosa! ¡Aquí es una cosa! ¿Y ¿no sabes? Estoy en una caja de la gente. A ver, me voy aterradores no saberen que confiar. Uy de las personas que os piden que mireis, si queréis seguir convido. Birdbox, Barcelona, estreno en Netflix el 14 de julio. Te atreves a ver.

¡DAN LEVATAR! Ron, no puedo ver a mi casa naked, porque creo que el cat podría ser traumatizado. ¡Tú, guas! lebertard run i can't walk around my house naked because uh... i fear that the cat would be traumatized stugats like if if your cat or dogs suddenly saw you nude walking around your house how would they react to that what would i think i'm wondering why i don't have spines at the end of my penis

yeah like a cat this is the down lebertar Show with this two gods. And I was surprised by that report and then Doug Gottlieb reported that the Lakers believe that his knee issues are all related to the sneakers that his father tried to form an empire around when trying to get the balls their millions of dollars and it is a combination of something that will make you laughs to gods. And also if it is true, I don't know, some of the godly reports in the past have proven to not be true, but if it is true, it will also leave you with your mouth hanging open. The idea that his father through a business enterprise would end up ruining his oldest son's career. Shame on me for just laughing at this story because I like, of course, naturally you feel bad for Lonzo Ball, but it's laugh out loud, funny, that a dad, a loud mouth dad who was

just relentless as his son was headed into the NBA was making shoes out of his own basement and those shoes have caused us not how he was making the shoes. I thought it was. The shoes were not the worst of it. Yes, we got ours and they weren't made in his basement, but they were shockingly made. They were also a different style than what we ordered. That's true. That's also true. So you don't feel bad about laughing actually. I don't either. I only see the funny in this story. I mean, I don't know what to tell you

because it's a funny story. I'm I'm checking the internet to see if this is a butt crack thing because you have the combination of Doug Gottlieb who recently was sued for a report and just an Asinine sounding report that the shoes are to blame for the knee injury. Well, that's Godlyb, though. That is not a butt crack situation. That is a Doug Gottlieb situation. Now, some people have called Doug Gottlieb a butt crack. It would not be inaccurate, perhaps, to call Doug Gottlieb a butt crack, but I was not

butt crack by a fake Doug Gottlieb account. That's not what ended up happening there. And the Chicago Bulls report, I mean, his career is in doubt, Mike. That's true. Yeah. His career is in doubt. That's, that's 100% accurate that because of the shoe. I think that's what Mike is.

I understand. I understand. With Gottlieb and the opportunity to make fun of the bigger ball brand shoes. I'm a little worried that you might have fallen for something. Got leave did indeed tweet that the Lakers believed his initial injury was caused by his shoes. Big baller brand were complete trash blah blah blah. But as people then called him on it, someone with the LA sports radio at responded and said in a thread of a bunch of other trolls getting back at Got

Leab that the Lakers initially asked Lonzo Ball whether his big ball or brand sneakers were to blame according to Ramona Shelburn and Got Leab used that as an opportunity to say thank you. So I don't know if that's quite confirming that they actually believe that was the issue as much as it's saying, they've brought it up before and I'm reporting that it's the issue. Speaking of trolls, we have some sound from Mike Ryan's phone of Ryan Cortez, minister of heat propaganda. He waited for a long time last night. Mike, did you ever hear on the hub while you were listening? Ryan Cortez infiltrate the hub during

Boston taking sad miserable calls about their franchise falling apart? I did, because I got a hot tip that the name Michael might be one to keep an eye on. And the hub work teasing it. They had a lot of things to get off their chest and they were doing the classic sport radio tease of everybody on hold hang on right there. We'll get to your calls. And every time they would do that, they would mention Michael as one of the possible names. So I was holding on hope that this would be my big, my big crescendo and sure enough

Harakeet struck again. Michael and Bonson want the drastic shape of shake up to. So let's go to my. Hey fellas, I appreciate everything you guys have said tonight. You know, I wanted to talk to you too because I believe both of you are more rational than me on Tatum and Brown because at the Sedano's bar, I was trying to trade both of them, not just one. And the guy next to me, I want to get your take, he kept saying in the

in Spanish, Estonotia, Somosmantequilla, which loosely translates to Holtro Chatter is on the hub, the Celtics were playing like, let's go, he's out. There we go. That guy hung on 51 minutes for that. I hope that was worth it to him. Let's talk for a second here about the amount of laughter that surrounds this franchise today. Jalen Brown was quoted, we're the better team. Period.

That was the quote was, we're the better team. And what I'm seeing today, Stugats again and again, this is fairly amazing to watch when it's condensed in video form. The moment that Jason Tatum was no longer there, one option. All you see is Jalen Brown being forced to his left and every time turning the ball over, more than anyone has turned the ball over in that game. The reason that they're not the better team amazingly enough is because they're Super Max player can't go to his left when the Miami Heat knew he was going to try to go to his

left and he had eight turnovers trying to go to his left. And the ridiculous and competent kinds of turnovers where you see fast break dunks on the other end because the ball is leaking out and it's just ending up in the chest And the ridiculous and competent kinds of turnovers where you see fast break dunks on the other end because the ball is leaking out and it's just ending up in the chest of a heat player. He was really bad, but he's still a really good player. Like Jaylen Brown is getting the brunt of this today and I understand why, but it's a Jason Tatum injury.

That's why the Saltax were out of that game. I mean, I feel like if Jason Tatum's healthy, I'm not saying that he don't win, but I feel like Jalen Brown is not the punching bag today. It's a much closer game. Like, that was unfortunate for Jalen Brown. And there was no spacing there, Dan, which is exactly why you have to take Jason Tatum out. You do not continue to put Jason Tatum in that game. You just don't like grip. Okay. It was standing there at the three-point line, wait for someone to throw him the ball. How about you space out the court a little bit? That is crazy. You know what? Let's not, let's not equivocate here, okay? Boston choked at home and they are magnifying and underlining their

own shame by having the gall to say that the better team lost. They're not the better team and they wouldn't have been the better team if. They're not the better team. And they wouldn't have been the better team if if Jalen was was not injured on the first play. They were the worst team because they couldn't make a three point shot, which fed their success all season long. They choked. It was a terrible loss by the Celtics own it, eat it and quit saying you were the better team. You weren't. The Miami Heath, you can say this was fluke, that was fluke, but the factor remains is they've gone through the two top winning percentages in that league. And they're now in the NBA finals. This is not, oh, Yomis turned his ankle and he wasn't there for an entire series.

There were a great deal better than the Milwaukee bucks in that series as confusing as that was to almost all of us. There were a great deal better than the New bucks in that series as confusing as that was to almost all of us. They were a great deal better than the New York Knicks. It didn't even play well against New York. And the stats bear out that yes, even though it went to seven and everybody in Miami heat guard was scared, they were also the better team in that series. And when Jimmy Butler had an off night, there were other people there to pick them up. Jason Tatum's going to be out there on the court, but not be a hundred percent. He has Jalen Brown, who we were told was the second best player in this series. Maybe maybe third best behind Jimmy Butler.

He wasn't even third best behind Caleb Martin. Just to be clear, though, on your total takes, they were the best team, but they're a bad team. Right. The mind of heat are the best team in the East, but they're a bad team. Right. The mind heat are the best team in the east, but they're a bad team. Billy, speaking of shame, I want you to explain to me what happened in big Sui where it was revealed. And unfortunately, we were not there to hear what team Zebra was doing. We were left out of what was related to me as one of the biggest lies ever in a hall of fame lying career from Stugots

revealed itself on big Sui. And we weren't all there to hear what the giant lie was. I am searing. Wait a minute before you get sausage fingers in here Stugots, I'm looking at Jeremy Tashay. He is red faced in embarrassment for you. Like he right now is he is red face in embarrassment. I think I think you're missing, Dan, you're missing a very important part. The big lie that did not come for me. Usually.

Well, I think there were a couple of lies, a couple of whoppers, being a couple of whoppers cut it up. What's the story? Well, a long story short, apparently years ago, when Stugatz's daughter won a national championship in

La Crosse this past, we get to go. Stugats was very proud. What we found out was a couple of years ago, before Stugats' new Jeremy, Stugats reached out to our video producer at the time, Lorenzo, to make a real for his daughter to send the schools to try to go into, to get accepted to their school. And Lorenzo was, you know, one man person doing all these jobs. So he passed that task, which was not a task of his again, that's to got just dumped on him. He passed that off to Jeremy, who was an intern at the time working with

Lorenzo. So Jeremy put together, Stugatz's daughter's real, which uncertain whether or not Stugatz paid him for or just promised extra work would be coming from other parents who saw the great work that he did and they would in fact pay him. So as a result, when the news came out that Rachel had won the national championship, Jeremy apparently texted. So got's a very nice text. So got's I guess was a little short had a one two word answer. And then hours later, texted Jeremy back and said, I just showed this text to Rachel and to my wife, they both started crying when they read this

text to which Jeremy replied, Oh my God, I'm crying reading that text from you. So we had two guys lying to each other about the these nonsense texts and how each side was crying over them when neither of them really meant it. I am happy that you made a long story short. I am happy that Roy is still roaring with laughter at your description of Lorenzo as a one man person. Yeah. Yeah, he is though. He is a woman person. Oh, person for sure.

Uh, Mr. God, so you are asking people to do private things that aren't their jobs that are probably employee violations Making them work for you on things that weren't company related or professionally related. That's right I mean, this was back, you know when Rachel was in 10th grade I reached out to Lorenzo and I said do you know anyone who can help you with a highlight reel? And he put me in touch with Jeremy. Jeremy did a killer job. I may or may not have paid him. I'm not certain. I don't know if he got any other business out of it,

but what I can promise you, Dad, is there were no tears and I'd never showed the text to Rachel or Abby. Jeremy, what were you promised in exchange for this lacrosse championship lacrosse video and what did you get in in exchange for doing job that Stugats didn't deserve you actually doing and had no right to ask you to do oh Buddy, I'm gonna set you up with all the other dads on all the you know I'm the coach. They're gonna listen to me buddy and they're gonna pay you for sure They're gonna pay you make sure you just give them whatever your hourly hourly rate is buddy

Don't worry about it. I got you covered that's what that's what I got and you know what I got from Stugats Nothing I got nothing. Cheers Yeah, crack it out here. Crack it out here's Don Lebertard who I'm thinking of is Lauren green. We all remember Lauren green who could forget Bananza Lauren Dorne am I right? There's a cookie named Lorna Dune or something like that. It's my favorite cookie. It's number one of my top five cookie lists, yes.

You and nobody else. But Lorna Green played the head cowboy in Bananza. Thank you. You're so old. Thank you. Yeah, the stumbling on his word, the precise manner of it was as old as you've ever sounded. It's two guts.

Also, why did you say thank you at the end of that? Well, because I'm enlightening people, people out there nodding like Bob has gone, yeah, yeah, Lorne Green, Bonanza. I remember that you're welcome, then. Well, I mean, Bonanza and Gunsmoke were like big rivals on TV, It was must see TV. We'd watch them at 1440 on a black and white magnovox every week. Yeah, my there time. That's my grandma used to watch those shows every day, right? Damn right. She would have been 90 this year. Hello. Good for her. Yeah, good I'm green. This is the Don Lebertar show with this to got Do you know stew got how hard it is to be the thing that people in the basketball world are laughing about the most

When second place on the list for this particular weekend is Scotty Pippin saying that Michael Jordan was a horrible basketball player before he got there. I thought Mike speaks of butt crack. I thought that was AI. I thought because there was a delay on the video, I'm like, there's no way this is real. That's not possible that Scottie Pippin is saying that Michael Jordan was a horrible basketball player before he got there. I thought for sure I had to check 10 different places to make sure that they weren't all being fooled by something that was artificial intelligence. I love that. He became great only when I got to the Chicago Bulls. Such a bad look for Scotty Pippen to be in this old age, this kind of bitter. Speaking of old age, Billy, you're worried about Greg

Cody's health. I am a little bit worried about Greg Cody's health, but also optimistic about it at the same time. I don't know if that's possible because I think you're welcome, Greg. So Greg told us that the last series he was having to do double duty with the Panthers and with the heat that he was having to work every single night and how it was kind of wearing on him, right? Well, both teams advanced to the championship. So this is now going to go on for, I think, 19 more days where Greg's going to have to be covering

both teams, essentially, every other night. I think there's only like one day in there that there's not going to be a game going on. So I'm a little bit concerned as are many of the listeners about what this is going to do to Greg if he's going to be able to do this or not. Now, on the flip side, Greg also told us that he was in remarkable shape because it was cutting into his drinking time. So now Greg for three more weeks will not be drinking. So I'm worried for his life and his health and his safety, but also he could come out of this the healthiest he's ever been. Yeah, I think that's pardon me. I think that's going to be the case. I take it back $5. It's my postseason fitness regimen. It really is. It's like a workout routine for me because

it is cutting into my drinking time. I've lost, you know, close to 10 pounds in the past month or so through no, you know no credit of my own. It's not like I'm doing anything different other than drinking less because I'm doing all these games and everything. So, I think we're gonna make it. I'm a yeoman at heart, and I'm giving it a yeoman's effort. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your timing on that. Stugots, can you help me on what it is that you think is more improbable because there were two things that happened that were funny in baseball this weekend. And one of them was in a high school game where a state championship was lost because the catcher on a third strike went out, the ball bounced and he immediately went out to celebrate with his pitcher and because they didn't throw the ball to first base and get the final out of that particular game to run scored while they were

celebrating on the mound. That was one improbable thing that happened in baseball. Another improbable thing that happened in baseball is that in a twins game, Blue J's center fielder Dalton Varsho on consecutive plays had back-to-back homers go off his glove while he was trying to jump at the wall to catch a home run and it bounced off his glove and went over the wall. That statistical and probability of that

has to be something close to its infinity. It simply cannot happen on back to back batters where the center fielder has the ball hit his glove. But among those two things which do you think is more improbable deciding a championship with two runs scoring while you're

celebrating your victory on the mound or two back to back homers ending up off the glove of the center fielder. The more improbable one is theto-back homers going off the fielders glove and resulting in home runs. I mean that is that is fantastic. That is great. It's the most dead. It is the most improbable one by far I would say. What I'm gonna say can say go with like a word. I guess but imagine that happening twice off his head. On back, on back, on back, on back, on back, on back.

You're correct, you're correct that it remains the single most improbable baseball plane and the greatest play in baseball history. But I mean, you go home that night and your varsho, and you feel how about what it is that the universe has done to you where that has to be one of the greatest feelings an outfielder can possibly have and on back to back plays he ends up feeling like a total fool. No one has anything for me on that. No, I'm so excited. But then I do have a concern.

I do have a concern because we were talking about Grant Cody's health and getting through the finals and the Stanley Cup finals. I am concerned about Brooks Capka's health. Like, I'm not certain he is slept yet and then Vegas and Florida, Vegas and Florida, Vegas and Florida, private jet, private jet, private jet. This is shaping up to be a week for the agents for Brooks Keppka and I for one have concerned about him.

This is the worst possible two cities. A man like that could have said hockey games at. And yet I suspect Keppka will be in every single one. Well, we have to figure something out because David Sampson is saying that Metal Arc is going to open up some budget for people to end up going to Vegas and Colorado. How are we going to split that up? Is everyone around our show going to want to go do that?

Or is no one around our show going to want to go do that? Why are you making a face on this, Billy? Is he in charge of the budget? Yeah, what happened? There is David Samson. What does he do? I mean, he evidently has the, well, you weren't here last week, Billy, when he bought like half the show, he said that half the show was yelling at David Samson about something and he's

like, I'll take care of Vegas for you and everyone folded. We're like, we love David Samson. He bought half the show. You didn't happen to be here, but Samson was willing to do that. Send people to Vegas. Yes. Okay. Wow.

On and on and Tuesday, we need to work that one out a little bit quickly. Yeah. We would have to do that soon. Now there's so much. I would just given what happened today. I would prioritize getting power in our building. Yeah, that's what I will say. I will say this, Dan, any you know feelings that you may have

nervousness about us covering the Stanley Cup final. I have been credentialed to cover the Stanley Cup final on behalf of Metal Lark media. So I'll be there. I'm going to have to set aside, you know, my biases and my fandom towards the Panthers, but I have been a credentialed member of the media for the Stanley Cup final. So I will be there to cover it on behalf of the company at no extra cost. I have been in the show for the NBA playoffs at no extra cost as well. Buying a member of the media to everyone involved.

I got you back. And of course, I am credentialed for all of the semifinals of the Stanley Cup Final, so you don't have to pay me for that one. Yeah, that's gonna encourage cost, though. I'm doing it at no cost, additionally. But you don't have to pay me for that one. Yeah, that's going to incur cost though. I'm doing it at no cost, additionally. But you don't know anything about hockey. I'm there to cover on. What does that supposed to mean? Whoa, what is that supposed to mean?

It means you don't know anything about hockey. I do, I do so. What do you know about hockey? I'm not, this is, I'm not on trial. Okay. I'll be there. I'll be covering the games. If you like to come cover, maybe put in a request, see if they approve you. Maybe they do. Maybe they don't. I'll also say that my NBA finals one is up in the air at the moment. I'll update you when I know the situation there. But I'll be there covering. God bless hockey. How do you feel about Vin Diesel over the weekend saying that fast and the furious isn't going to die that there's going to be a spin off.

There's going to be excited. And first, it's supposed to be a two-part finale. And he's like, nah, we're going to do a three-part finale instead. And then he's like, after that three-part, maybe the Toretto's get their own spin-offs. And then Dan, we still are waiting on Hobbes and Shaw too. That story can go anywhere. You know, Tyrese is going to be angling for himself to get his own spin-off somewhere and there maybe with ludicrous.

I mean, the possibilities are endless with this fast and furious friend, which I don't where it can end up. I'm so excited. But how does this work? It's just going to not be fast and furious anymore. It's going to be like the creed equivalent of not being rocky, but being rocky because it's going to be the Toretto's instead of fast and furious. Well, we already got one with Hobbs and Shaw, right?

So we got that kind of spin-off situation, which by the way, Hobbs and Shaw, if you put that under the Fast and Furious franchise, which it should be, one of the better movies in the franchise is Hobbs and Shaw. Now Hobbs and Shaw too, we're still waiting on that one. Stay them in the rock had incredible chemistry. I don't know what's going to go on with the Toretto's who Vin deals is going to take with him over there, but I mean, we can be optimistic, right? Do you want to see the fast franchise die? I know you don't. I don't. Brad, does it?

Of course not. No, of course not, because now if there's more spin-offs, there's only a matter of time until they make a dwarf martial artist. And that's what I will substitute myself in. Peter Dinklage can't do it. He's not available. I can do it. I know problems there. I will answer myself. How do you know, Francia? How do you know Dinklage is scheduled? How do you know? I'm not available. Brad, let's say it, but he's above it. You think that he's better than everyone that Dinklage get out of here. Exactly. We have been saying it for years besides Dan. We all have a group chat going. It's me, we man, dinklage. Yeah, we all have a group chat. It's fine.

You think a dinklage thinks he's too much of a thespian to be a fast and the furious sell out. Absolutely. No, the man was in pixels. And ever since then completely pivoted with his career. So he's only going for art stuff. He was on the Mark Maird podcast, talking about how degrading the little people, the new Snow White remake was or is because they're hiring dwarves, the plate dwarves. Yeah. So degrading giving us checks, dinklage. I saw his ass wrapping bustar rhymes in a Doritos commercial. He had do this damn move. Wow. You were worried about the health of Greg Cody and you're worried about the health

of Brooks Capka is anyone worried about the health of a clearly always inebriated Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor is always drinking from his crappy whiskey, which I believe for the Guardian in a critique, called in its, you know, whiskey critiquing unpleasant, called his whiskey unpleasant. Connor McGregor is trying to get into the game of I'm going to get fights with just my mouth, but every time we see him anywhere, he seems to be slurring his way through interviews. And we're trying to decide while watching it. Is that the fight game? Is that the drinking? Which is it?

It's hard for me to look at him with that face. His face has become cartoon. Like it's not even him anymore. There's sometimes where I see him on social media, I'm like, oh, who's that guy? Oh, that's Connor McGregor. Why does he have that jaw that's like 16 feet out? It's weird.

Any theories on that, Mike? Is this wreck? I wish I had a wreck on the Wichita. Whoa! Whoa! I mean, who said that? He's now in Usada, by the way. Just so everybody knows, he's back into the pool of testing

in Usada suspiciously. Yeah, after a very long layoff. It's tend to lay off. I'm growth hormone. That's everything grows. Long layoff there on that Usada test. Greg Kodell, please help me. Where is your son?

You know what? I saw him on the train. I can verify that we drove back on the Brightline train together ever since then. I have not seen him. I have no idea where he is. I'd like to know. I don't know.

You tell me, where is he? Wait a minute. I know what just happened. Did it just happen already? See, there's no sound anymore. It is not even a clue. There's no clock. There's no sound. This is totally unfair.
