They had to play a murderer's row of goaltenders. Vasylensky, Swamen, and Igor. But one by one they came out victorious.

How'd they do it? One shift at a time. Pucks in deep, and guys going to the net. Now, they're playing their best hockey as the calendar turns to June. And Dan, make no mistake about it, just like that, for the second consecutive season in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Florida Panthers are back. It's Feisalinsky. Who's fine. I'm in ski. Who is that?

All right. Sorry. It might be his best role. I'm serious. Great. Yeah. Killian Mbappe joining Real Madrid after Real Madrid won the Champions League.

Mbappe, the Kevin Durant is strong in you. Am I pronouncing his name wrong? Yeah, absolutely. Mbappe. Mbappe. It's Mbappe. It's French. Juju, you know what the K in Killian stands for? I'm not pronouncing his name wrong. Yeah, absolutely. It's French. You know what the

K and Killian stands for? Uh KD. Oh, nice. What a laugh. That's a good one. The Boston Celtics, the rare playoff run when you get to the finals and still haven't faced a good team. It's crazy. I'm not even certain Dallas is good. Asterix on the championship if they win it. Perhaps. No. Death, taxes, and the New York Rangers wasting the best goalie in the league. It's what they do. Suck it, Wiggity. Rangers-Panthers, the rare series that went six games that never felt close. If the Rangers didn't have Igor, they would have gotten swept.

It was Taylor's, by the way. Anything you hear, by the way, North Carolina Yankees or Rangers-related, Taylor. Great set of calves. You say so. the best of these or Rangers teammates. I'm tired of everyone telling me that he's already better than Dirk. He's not. Win a title. Hmm. Although, Luca's my guy now. But do it in the playoffs. Do it in the finals. Zagack.

Juan Soto. Blank check. Collision course. Taylor. Aaron Judge. Juan Soto. that's a one-two punch. Taylor. Nice. It's not an observation. We should get this sponsored by TaylorMade next. It is a one-two punch. Or Baby Ruth.

Since May 1st, the Mets have lost six games when leading after eight innings. No other team in the majors has more than two. I hate them. You could just skip the Yankees stuff if you don't want to read it. Nah, Taylor's fun. Dan.

You skipped the two best hitters in baseball play for the Yankees, the Bronx Bombers. I crossed it out. Taylor. That's already crossed out. And this one you crossed off, this Rangers one, because you don't know how to say those names correct correct yeah Yeah, that's why that say those names give that observation

Panarin right the bread man the binnage ad Wow creator Scoring two goals combined in six games Wow you know what happened when the Rangers big three what happened to the Rangers big three What lights got too bright amazing Taylor? bread man. Get that man a credential. I'm working on it, but Rose says she goes through Roy so it seems like the puck stopped here, yeah. Roy's the real...

Puck stopped here. Exactly right. Roy's the real... Igor. My chance of covering the Stanley Cup final. Roy wants this all to himself. I kind of think that's what's going on. Dan, using part two of his conversations with George Sedano,

Joy Taylor, and Gojo to get the company to pay for a trip for him and his wife to go to California. Dan, how'd he play? Also, the Stugats is very strong in you. Taylor. Taylor. Taylor. Don't do that to Taylor. That's soaking with John Williams.

Taylor. Paper towels. You always think you bought enough, but you never do. Have you tried the washable ones? Washable paper towels? No, thank you. No, thank you, times 10. I kinda like them. Really? I No thank you. No thank you times 10. I kinda like them.

Really? I kinda like them. You're reusing? Yeah. No thank you. How do you dry them? You put them in the washing machine and just leave them out to dry.

Really? Yeah. What's the difference between that and a towel? Not a big one. More absorbent, I guess. Okay. They're Swedish. What?

Yeah. How much do they cost? Couple bucks. Really? And they're cute. Interesting. I found this website. Yeah, get into it later. No get into it What do you mean lazy river well? I found this I have Jeremy telling me the Mads roster is blowing his mind We'll get to that in a second lazy river the people who will get to the website later

I need to I need to test it is the thing okay? What paper towels are expensive that's kind of the point you always think you've purchased enough, but you have it But I've seen like places I don't know if you've seen this, that it tells you like this place, or this product, was made in the same exact factory as this name brand product, because the name brand shares with whoever it is, and they just don't go by the name brand

with the exact same product. So I've been trying to find that for Bounty. The quicker picker-up. It's cheaper. I'm trying to find a cheaper thing, and then I found a website that you can buy furniture, duped.com or something like that. And you just put, you basically, this is the way it's advertised on social media,

having explored this shit. You're dangerously close to one minute for boring. What? Really? All right, waste your money, gang. I'm not telling you how to save money. I mean, I'm good with it. I don't control that.

No, finish the story. Nope. He said you were close. I was close, you didn't do it. And it's two minutes, that's a fine. See, I'm good with it. I don't control that. Finish the story. Nope. He said you were close. I was close. And it's two minutes. That's a fine. See? I'm wrong. No, I'm saving money. Not you guys.

What do you mean? Waste your moneys. I didn't mean it, Billy. You copy the URL and then allegedly go dupe.com slash and then you paste it and this website gives you cheaper versions of any product with a URL, allegedly. How do you spell dupe? D-U-P-E. Thank you.

I'm back in. Allegedly. How are you spelling it? Yeah, how are you gonna spell it? D-O-O-P. What? What? Dupe.

Darren Waller released an awkward music video about his divorce. The W in Waller stands for what the are you doing?

The W should have still for whoa. If you are Darren Waller, you have to have at least one person in your circle say, hey, maybe don't put that out. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Also, if somebody in his circle should have said, whoa, whoa. Okay, I'm gone.

Stay right here. LeBron should show up to team workouts with Bronny to show how much better he's gotten. In my personal record book, the only people that have any right to be excited about the Panthers are Roy and my friend Walter Katz. You already said that. Yeah, you used that one already.

Everyone else is a bunch of phonies. The P in Panther fans stands for a bunch of phonies or just phonies. StuGots book.com Cat's your friend or Taylor's friend Walters my friend. Okay, did he change his last name to cats because he's a Panthers fan Also Mike's Nickle. Why burn friend? Joel Rock when Wow easier Joel. Yeah Joel, huh?

Listen to a little Joe Rose for the first time in years I gave him a quarter hour in return I got 12 commercials six voice by him Traffic and one minute of content that came from someone filling in for Joe Rose That's how it's done guy has it figured out. He made like 30 grand for that 15 minutes the big dog Underrated sports radio career, Joe Rose. By who? By me, by anyone.

Who says it's underrated? He's had a great run. I know, who's underrated? No one talks about him as the all time great. Says one of the all time greats, it's Mad Dog, it's Francesa, it's Jim Rome. No one ever mentions Joe Rose. Well, I mean, it's because it's down here.

I'm not sure if I know who that is. The big dog. Well, I know who it is, but J sure if I know who that is. Wow. The big dog. Well, I know who it is, but Juju doesn't know who it is. It's a gag. Yeah. Not certain if anyone else is noticing the great tennis being played

Huh? Klay Aiken. That was great. It's a different game. Eric Maltz, come on. Red Auerbach. Anyway, if there's a way to lose, the Mets will figure out how,

not enough people are talking about how Bryce Perkins has changed the Michigan Panthers offense. Is that true? With his dual threat ability at quarterback. Heading into the UFL playoffs, Taylor. That's Mike. Baseball is better when home runs are going into McCovey Cove.

It's better. That's Taylor, Yankees are playing. Connor McDavid doing it in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Oilers winning despite being outshot 33 to 10. You know what they say, right Billy? What, yeah. Quality over quantity. Mm-hmm, 35, 10.

Do me a favor. Get a life. Wow. I'm serious. Who's doing that at two AM? Would you ever do that? No, not at this stage in my life.

Notre Dame wins a national championship. You there at two AM at the airport? Yes, I'm at space with Mike Ryan and Cynthia. You crazy? Here come the Brewers. The White Sox. Uh White I'm not going to lie. Yeah. Something's gotta give. Oh, Going for their first title ever You know what that means Jess something's got to give oh wow Love a handshake line after a hard-fought hockey series the best. It's the greatest. It's the best tradition in sports I love when they take the stick except for the Masters tap them on them. Yeah, that's usually when they're paying respects It's a great. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, like it's it is crazy

How angry they are with each other for, and they never fight in that line. Respect always is. Always respect. Always respect. Coaches hugging coaches, goaltenders hugging goaltenders. You don't want to touch the trophy for winning, but you want to touch a bunch of losers hands.

Fair point. Allegedly losers. If you ever for a second think you know more Puck than Roy Bellamy, think again. Unless you're Walter Katz. Yeah, Walt. I still can't get over the Darren Waller music video. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hell is he thinking? Speaking of hell, Orp Riles. Dan, those are the weekend observations. The Dan Libetard Show with Stu Gotz is sponsored by BetterHelp. This year has gone by so quickly.

You were that kind of sad this morning taking the barrage of anger from Stugatz because you hadn't booked him enough interviews. The only reason I keep bringing this up is because you are throwing a big party on Thursday. You're doing it, and I want people to support

what you're doing because Stugatz has not made this easy. Stugatz. Um, well, you know, I, well, yeah, you know. This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugatz. Five, four, three, two, one. Really? I had to count down four times. Five, five. Do it one more time just to be safe.

Keep it in. Five, four, three, two, one. Stugatz told me one of the weirdest things. Just keep that in five four three two one Stugats told me one of the weirdest things I think that has been said right before a segment started right before the last segment started and he said Billy remind me. I thought I had a fly stuck inside of me all weekend. Yeah, I still think it's there What I was driving around in my golf car and then the weekend observation music started before anyone stuck inside of me all weekend. Yeah. I still think it's there. What? I was driving around in my golf car. And then the weekend observation music started

before anyone had time to react to that reminder, which was one of the craziest things you've said. Wait, have you guys, has anyone here ever thought, hmm, maybe I swallowed a fly? There's no maybe. I've been on a bike before where I'm like, and I'm like, I just swallowed a fly. It doesn't bother you?

Did you spit it out or? I don't know, I don't think so. You check your poopy for it later on? I did not check my poop for it. I imagine this fly like flying around trying to get out. It's like you inside of a whale. Exactly. Right, yes.

That is not what the, the mathy is on that. Really? Proportionally, it's probably the same thing, right? A fly to you is the same as you to a whale. I would think, yeah. By the way, we need to ask Ron tomorrow because I saw people tweeting us and like somebody survived being inside of a whale course we're done said that you

couldn't it makes perfect sense you can I just don't know what he's talking about hmm anyway was it a cicada I don't know what it was no chance you can't follow a bunch of people like my I think it was like my dad or someone texted me this weekend and they said a cicada flew in their mouth. Really? Yeah, because they're everywhere in the Midwest. Like everywhere. Their carcasses are everywhere, they're flying everywhere. In his mouth though?

Yeah. I'm a hypochondriac so I be imagining like, what if this fly that's just went in my mouth just came from a thing of poop? Yeah. He just landed on that and like a bandaid. Yeah. I'm more worried about my ears than anything.

Mouth I'm not worried, nose I'm not worried, ears I'm worried about. Why ears? Like a flyer. In the brain? Yeah, it goes in there. Oh my God, I'd much rather have them go in my ears. No, there's a dead word on RFK's brain.

But if you say of these three things, I would want my ears the least. No, you don't want a flyer bug in there. Spider goes in there, lays an egg inside you. Have you ever seen those videos where they go and like tweezers and they pull something out of your ear and it's like massive? Oh, all the time.

There's like a whole colony of like bugs inside your head you didn't even know. I think I'm with Chris though. I think of the three possible entry points, the one I would least want is, well I know, of the available ones. Nose is the worst one. I think ear is.

Hmm. Are we talking neck up though, of though? That's what I'm saying. Neck up. There's only three neck up. It's hard to get stuff out of the ear. The nose, you can stick stuff in there and we'll be away. Yeah, but there's an entry point from nose to brain.

It's a lot closer than ear to brain. Let me tell you. That's how they would turn you straight on the movie Shutter Out and they'd just get in there. So is there a bug inside of you or what? Well I don't know, that's the thing. You don't know if you swallowed the bug? Juju, the thing is I have no idea

if I swallowed the bug or not. It was in your mouth. It was flying right at me, my mouth was open, my head was tilted up a little bit. I was smoking. And um. Smoking. The smoke instantly hit that fly.

A dog walker. Instantly died. Oh sorry, there's a chance none of this happened. There's a good chance that, right, it just, it hit my chin and died. Got it. Cause it was going very fast. You couldn't feel the difference between it hitting

the outside of your face and inside your mouth? No, I felt it hit right below my lip, but it definitely bounced off, and it was still flying around, and then I feel like it flew in my mouth. What kind of fly? Is it a mosquito? Just your, you know, I feel like it flew in my mouth. I have no idea. What kind of fly? Is it a mosquito?

Just your, you know, run of the mill fly. Horse fly? Yeah, regular fly, yes. And so I have no idea if I swallowed the fly and if I did, I have no idea if that fly is still living inside of me. Do you want it to live inside of you? I'm not, you know what?

I'm not certain. It could be like your friend. A nice tenant, yeah. I mean. Pay rent. My friends. Talk to the fly. Yeah, whenever you feel lonely.

I've just, for me, I've been thinking about it all weekend and I'm thinking, are there ramifications? What if it actually did, can I die? Well, no, I don't think so. I mean, if that fly landed on a pile of COVID earlier in the day and then now you are chewing on it Right. Did you chew? Well, no. Okay

So try to wash it down like this fly family I don't know if it's in me you should take laxatives just in case and then you can kind of flush it out I'm imagining an entire family has started like in you. That's why I'm saying like every time you smoke a cigarette They're just all getting all of that. Lacks it up. They're like, oh, the smoke detectors aren't working in here. This poor child fly is just like intaking a bunch of smoke. There are times over the weekend where I felt, I thought, I felt it like kind of bouncing around my stomach. Really? Yeah. Dancing swords. I think you just had to take a shit. We're out of chickens when you need it. How far into your stomach?

Like belly? I felt one like right here by the belly button, one off to my side, one off to my left side. Different points? Yeah, one up by my heart. You may have kidney stones or something, yeah. No, I don't have kidney stones. You have appendicitis?

No, I don't. Gall stones? No. I don't know. It's possible. Just don't. You should go to the hospital and tell them you think there's a fly inside of you so they can do a scan.

I think of all the holes that the fly could procreate in, the ear is the number one hole for a family being born. Bunch of crevices that you can breath. They go for it. Because it's probably the least wet hole. I'm just saying, it was like, I don't think the fly intended to fly into my mouth. It was just, I was going one way,

fly was going the other way. Speaking of hole whole Courtney love, you know what I love? The Boston Celtics. Oh my God. Kyrie Irving, I promise to God, it's gonna be so rough for him all week. I think that there should be documentarians

around the world that document the, just the vitriol that Kyrie, I hope he got a documentary person just following him throughout this week because that would be cinema that I would love to tune into. The revenge of Kyrie, I hope he got a documentary person just following him throughout this week because that would be cinema that I would love to tune into. The revenge of Kyrie? Allegedly, because I don't know if they're gonna go in there and get the W, but I know that this experience

for him specifically would be wonderful to view when the time capsule a couple years from now. What exactly are we celebrating though with Kyrie? He went to Boston, had a good team and did nothing with it. I mean, like he did nothing with it. Yeah, but now look at him. He bounced back, and now he's doing something with his new team.

It's like, what have you done for me lately? No, but- Yeah, he came up short then, but he's in the championship right now. I know, but- It's harder to deny that. People say bounce back. His bounce back was the Nets.

That was him trying to bounce back. Look, if at first you don't say- With Kevin Durant, and it failed. Dust yourself off again. I mean, I've failed so many times in my life that people would be, you'd be hilarious. Some people would laugh at you thinking that Jew would be doing this way he's doing right now.

My friends would laugh you off the block if we told them this two years ago. Because I failed so many times. But he's failed a couple times and I feel like now he's in the groove and he's not failing. So we have to kind of give him a little, at least an Inksie Wink salute. I'll give him a big one, but you gotta give him

a little Inksie Wink-see. I'll give him an Inksie Wink-see. There we go, that's all we want. All right. Thank you, brother. I will. Just one Inksie Wink-see or two? Just one for now, if he wins, perhaps a second.

Oh. But Kyrie Irving. We got an Inksie Wink-see on the line. But when Kyrie Irving came out of college, a lot of people thought that Kyrie Irving could be the best guy in the team and lead that team to an NBA championship. That's a game where people,

just because people heap expectations on you, that doesn't make you equipped to steady or make them happen. He got drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers that was trash until LeBron came back. So it's like, his size and stature, that's not what we used to see in lead a team outside of Steph Curry.

So I feel like- Isaiah Thomas, Iverson, and some other guys. Different eras. For sure, for sure, for sure. I mean, no, Iverson's rings in the box put, Kyrie's rings in the box, I think Kyrie is a plus one. But at the end of the day- In your personal record.

I mean, my personal record- Money is none. StuGuGuysBook.com. Thank you. I just think that it's very awesome to see Kyrie have this opportunity. Now if he takes advantage of it, it's another whole story. It is cool to see a player who was a number two to one of the greatest all around players we've ever seen

at the beginning of his career, go through a crazy journey in the NBA, both personally and professionally, with all these different teams, now end up once again as a number two to the best all-around scorer in the game, but to be that perfect complimentary piece. And it does say something about your level of ego

as a player, to be able to be one of the most talented guards and scoring guards that we've ever seen, and yet be willing to sort of be someone who takes that back seat until the fourth quarter, where he's come up huge multiple times this year and had the shot to win LeBron's championship in Cleveland. So he has one of the more confusing narratives in NBA history in terms of measuring how great truly

is this guy where whenever he was the number one, the teams were pretty lousy. He's been on superstar teams that didn't really accomplish much and yet as the number two for two different all-time level scores He's led them to at the very least the finals now and potentially two separate championships Are you saying he's best number two ever? Well, Scotty? LeBron

That entire Brooklyn nets team was considered a failure. And we've seen Kevin Durant go on and we had expectations for him this year. And we didn't even have these expectations for Kyrie. So I feel like, yeah, he did that, but look at everybody else who was a part of that Brooklyn Nets team and look at Kyrie where he's at. What else would you want from him to turn around?

You dig me? I mean, James Harden, right, on the Clippers, lost to Kyrie's team, and the Timberwolves swept Phoenix. So when you look at where those other stars have gone, they haven't reached anything yet, where Kyrie, as a number two, has gone along with Dallas to go all the way to the finals here, by the way, supplanting a guy in Jalen Brunson,

who stock only rose this year, and clearly Kyrie was sort of the better fit alongside Luca. But you're praising him for his willingness to be a number two. I don't think it's a willingness. I think he realized, I'm a number two. But even that on its own, being willing to become a number two again. I think he came out of college thinking he'd be a number one,

and then realized, I have to be a number two. He accepted being a number two. And then, by the way, went back to thinking he'd be a number one and then realized I have to be a number two. Life is happening. Because he accepted being a number two. And then by the way went back to thinking he could be a number one and then now has to go back to being a number two. That level of ego growth is interesting to me. Right now that fly could be your number two. Wow. In your number two.

I feel it. It's bouncing around right now. The Libertard. It's bouncing around right now. Don LeBattard! For weeks, months even, during the regular season, I wondered aloud what Kevin Stenlon did. And then about three weeks ago, it hit me. Stugats! He gives him one of these, and he gives him one of those. This is the Don LeBattar show with the Stugats. I started watching a soccer show that I think you might like to get into and may have been

watching soccer. Okay, I doubt it. It's called Love Undercover and it's on Peacock and the way that it works is that there's four famous soccer players, or five actually, five famous soccer players and they fly them across the country all to Los Angeles and it's a dating show and none of the women know that they're famous soccer players. They think they're just guys. And the whole premise is they can't find love because they're so famous so everybody just wants to date them for the things that they have. So here they are and

they gave them back stories and these are their jobs and this is what they do and then they see if they can really find true love with people who are not just using them for all of their things that they have. It's a tale as old as time, finding love by lying. Who hasn't done it? It's a great start for a relationship. I've just been lying to you on this show for months. When I first met my wife, she thought I was a scout for the Marlins. What? Did you say that?

I've used that before. I actually didn't use it with my wife. I was going for the gym. We've all used stuff. I did. When I was in college, I've said this before in the show. So those relationships didn't work out. When I was in college, I would tell people

I'm a scout for the Marlins. And that's like an impressive thing? I don't know. It's the perfect lie. It had to be realistic. Like I was like an 18 year old, like I couldn't be like a lawyer. Like I was like young, so I just was like,

what am I? I don't think an 18 year old scout is that believable. I don't know man, it's what I went with. I mean for years I walked around, I've told this story before on this show, I walked around with a World Series ring on from 1997 where I worked for the Marlins, the backup catcher was John Weiner.

And so on my ring, they put everyone's last name there. So I walked around for years, mine's Weiner, his is Weiner, I walked around for years telling everyone that I was the backup catcher for the World Champion Marlins. Yes, and it worked. That's how I got Abby. Abby believed you. She still believes me. Yes. Alright. What's the biggest lie y'all have told to attract the

opposite sex? Marine biology is my top guy. Like I that that thing. That you're go to? You're really into see. Can we play that out for a second? So, once you've established you're a marine biologist and there's follow up. Like how do you, where do you go from there? There isn't too much follow-up with that because a lot of the times though the biologists are Pretty smart and you don't want to test your smarts against this guy. You just want to accept the fact that Marine what if she's also a marine biologist? Yeah, you are a couple

Now she can introduce me into the real world and now I actually am one. I don't think I've ever lied to Lehman about anything. No. I mean when we started dating, I guess I lied and pretended like I was someone who liked going out, but that changed for both of us. How quickly did he realize you weren't?

Gotta be within a couple weeks. The thing about this show is that they're like lying to not be famous and not have a great job. They're not lying and saying I'm a, I guess, spoiler alert, some of them did lie. They're trying to convince you. World famous soccer star and it's like, buddy, you have like 40,000 Instagram followers.

There are a couple people on the show that have over a million Instagram followers though, but I've never heard of them. They're not soccer players. It's not like Zinedine Zidane's walking through that door. Yeah, exactly right. They're trying to find true love. Oh.

Well they're trying to, in the best way you can under those circumstances. I finished the episodes, oh. You can spoil it. No, but that's what they're going for. We'll give a spoiler alert. That's the premise of this, let's say this. They don't want you to know that they're famous.

That's the premise of the show, is that they want to make love connections without their fame, the varying levels of fame, being the reason why they've met suitors. But they could also just be these five people on a dating show and be like, yeah, I play soccer, and I doubt that the people on the show would just know them off of their appearance.

It's the opposite of Joe Millionaire, right? Like Joe Millionaire was this guy pretending to be super rich and then he was a construction worker. There's literally a guy that they said your job is construction worker. That was a sick joke by the way, whoever made that Joe Millionaire show and fooled all these ladies, salute.

No, the best show is I Want to Marry Harry. We've talked about it before. Wait, what's that one? I Want to Marry Harry is a guy that looked like Prince Harry. And they were like, we can't, they didn't even finish airing all the episodes. You can find it now, but they pulled the plug, I think, before the show even ended,

where they were like, we can't say it's Prince Harry. We've talked about this. In fact, the last time we talked about it, spoiler alert, the winner of I Wanna Marry Harry, it got back to her, and she tweeted at the show, would love to come on if you guys wanna talk about it, because we talked about it in the ESPN days, and it got back to her, but yeah,

this guy looked like Prince Harry. But they did things where they never said directly, but he referenced his grandmother, it would look like Secret Service was there, I have to go for family business, and they're like, is this Prince Harry? I can't say anything about my family. They'd pitch a random Queen Elizabeth photo

on the wall in his room. It was a great show. It's close enough, Jess. It is. No, there's not. No, because you're thinking to yourself, who would ever do that? Who would ever do the bait and switch?

Why would it be on a show where it's not Harry? It was a good show. Right. And then in the audition, somewhere along the lines, you confirm and make sure they're not Prince Harry fans fans, so they wouldn't know if you walked in there. It was all Americans, yeah, and they flew them to Scotland or something to do their show,

and they're like, is that Prince Harry? Yeah, great show. On this soccer show, do you have, is there rejection, and then the soccer star gets to reveal that he's a big soccer star? Yes, that is exactly how it works. As soon as the contestants leave, you have to go and you have to tell them the truth, and as I had lied to you, I'm a famous soccer star. It, that is exactly how it works. As soon as the contestants leave, you have to go and you have to tell them the truth.

And as I had lied to you, I'm a famous soccer star. It's like losing the lottery. Well, that's the part that's sad for some of them is that some of these girls left on their own accord, but others, they would break up with the girls. So they're definitely like, I really loved him. And he's a construction worker, but it's fine. And I just really loved him. It's not important to me but it's fine and I just really loved him.

It's not important to me. And then the guy comes in to the confessional, it's like I have not been honest with you. I'm a world famous soccer player. Yeah, so add insult to injury. Are they begging to get back into the game? No, they were eliminated by the guys. They said I'm not interested in you

and also I'm super rich and I don't love you. This is such a weird premise for a show. It's a strange show. It's a great premise. It's a strange show. It's such a heartbreak. I'm Mary Harry. You seem appalled by it.

Is one of the funniest, how did I not know about this? 2014, yeah, I want to marry Mary. What a time, honestly. Look it up. I'm reading about it right now. It's like six or seven episodes, it's not very long. Oh my god. Yeah, it's a great show.

Fox. They really had a. Fox had a run, man. Fox had like, whoever was green lighting things at Fox back in the day, like God bless them because they gave us some of the worst television but like iconic, terrible ideas were put on air. Bro, speaking of runs, inside the NBA is coming to an end.

Like they got one year left, Ernie let them know. But Anthony Edwards and Timberwolves crew decided to skip their interview post game because of all the trash that Draymond was talking. What do y'all think about that? Do you think it was too much or too little? Because Draymond also choked out Go-Ber during the season. So do you wanna go interview the guy

who choked out your homeboy? Or do you just eat it and be professional enough? You know what I'm saying? I think you have to eat it, don't you? Yeah. What was that? That was an honest response. You don't have to eat it?

Nah, I mean, why are you gonna do Dreymon any favors? Well, you're doing that show a favor. Nah, well, but they're, you know. I mean, Dreymon's part of the show. You've had your issues with Dreymon, they said, you know what, let's have Dreymon be on the cover, and you're like, okay, well then you won't get us.

Seems petty. That's fine. I, yeah. I do think You're like, okay, well then you won't get us. Seems petty. That's fine. I, yeah. I do think it's probably- It seems like something Draymond would do. Probably different if it's just like, hey, Chuck was being a hater throughout the series, then Draymond, who was brought in onto the show,

specifically to be a hater. A current player. Yeah, a current player who choked Rudy Gobert. I think there's probably a difference in terms of what level of professionalism you need to maintain there. Yeah, then Rudy Gobert choked, you know. Oh. Too soon, brother. Perhaps they want to choke Rudy Gobert.

I'm just saying. Full circle. Yeah, all the choked chokes were made. I don't know. I feel like you should show up and do it. Because he's been doing that to you. Yeah. Yeah Otherwise it looks petty right especially when you can't handle the criticism right cuz dollars are involved in Sponsorships I know Adidas would have loved to get up there and sell some more ant man's and let people know exactly where to find them So yeah, so that show is one year remaining

Yeah, yeah for now and he spilled the beans. One year left and they say they're going to come up with something. So, I have full faith that it's not going to end. You mean something after they're done. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I mean, if if TNT just had that pregame and post game

but no games, you would still watch it, right? Yes, sir. Right. Like ESPN has the games. NBC has the games but you're so let's say they started eight pregame at seven on TNT. You would go from TNT right to NBC or or ESPN. I would. Yeah, but that's like they wouldn't get great ratings that way. You want to be on the

net. We want to lead into the game. Theoretically, you say you would watch but like the habits of probably wouldn't are that I'm with you in theory. I would check it out too, but the numbers would dip like I don't know, man. I've seen things where Barkley might start a production company and like do their own like just keep it internal, but I don't know Where do you think they end up? I don't see it on a NBC. I mean on I don't think Ernie wants to leave Turner And I don't think he's gonna leave Turner, and I don't think those guys want to leave Ernie So how do we end up doing sports media talk when it's weird?

And I don't want to get fined. I take the blame that was on me It's weird. D-A-N, I don't want to get fined. I take the blame, that was on me. Gigi brought us this. That's on me, coach. I hit the ball out of bounds. It was me. What happened to the Wheel of Topics

we shouldn't be talking about. Oh man. I got in trouble last time, so I left that bit. We got in trouble. You did? No. No. I was on salute to the number one team in the WNBA,

the Connecticut Sun. They are still unbeaten. I know Kaitlyn get a lot of coverage, but Dwayna Bronner, AT and them girls, oh my God, 3 Janay Carrington, they are showing they ass this year. So do it. Yeah, they really are Juju, well said.

The Liberty and the Aces, this is mean. I think the Liberty and the Aces could beat the Fever with their bench players. I think so too, girl. Does anyone do social media and the WMA better than the Aces? Because they're all over my algorithm. They really are. I think they just also have so many fans.

And I think the South Carolina fans are very, very vocally supportive of Asia Wilson, rightfully so, because she is. New York fans are pretty loud too, though. They're getting there. That's true. I think New York has one of the best in arena experiences. They're mascot.

They have Ellie. Ellie is amazing. They at the Garden? They at the Barclays. Yeah. They sold out yesterday. I feel like in the WNBA right now, there's such a strong line of stratification

between those three teams. And then there's a middle tier, and then there's like everyone else. Right and oh salute to Diana Taurasi turning back the clock yet again 31 points she did all that talking and she putting her game backing it up right now.
