I'm the host of the CBC podcast, Cue with Tom Power. I get to talk to artists from all over the world, writers, musicians, actors, directors, all kinds of creative people. And we try to have the conversations you have with really, really good friends. The conversations you have when you share a love of something, about ideas, when you want to hear about everything. I feel really lucky to hear about everything. I feel really lucky to have these conversations. Cue with Tom Power, available now on Spotify. This is the Don Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. There is a crazy amount to talk about.

Rare is the day that we come in here and have this much stuff that is rich in societal interesting and Billy Gill is in the big boy seat with Mike Ryan literally almost breathing on his neck. Jim Nance in the crowd, Billy is everything okay? You're not in front of the microphone right now and I wanna talk to you for a second. Well I have to turn on yours and Greg's mic so I'm putting little arrows here

to make sure that I turn on the right one. There's a lot going on. Okay, so. Bridges are falling. All right, yes, well, yes. So Billy. Not to make excuses. No.

No. No. No. Billy is in charge on what is, I'm gonna say, a day of intersection where we have a whole lot of things happening that are, one of them is calamitous, okay? Overnight a bridge collapsing in Baltimore when a cargo ship hits it. The video will be everywhere by the time you're listening to this We're making a choice not to show it Just because and Greg Cody doesn't agree with this and I don't blame him for not agreeing with this Just because we don't want to show death what feels like death in real time while family members are still searching for the dead But I don't blame you if you disagree with that and say look

but uh... i don't blame you if you disagree with that and say look when nine eleven happened that the video of that is is something that needs to be in front of people because you have to jar people into incidents that show you when if you want to make this an infrastructure story instead of a death story none of us have ever seen that none of all of us would fear the idea when i've got to be safer than a cargo ship can help hit my bridge in all and and i'm gonna lose grandma's gonna lose her life just to drive and to get over to see me

yeah i mean families who lost a loved one are not going to feel any better by the result of this but eventually you have to figure out negligence you know how much blame was there on the cargo ship was there an infrastructure problem i mean was it an old bridge in disrepair disrepair we don't know all that and it's all happening right now but i think it's for me it's necessary to show the video once and not twice as you would with a calamitous nfl knee injury that's so gruesome you'd almost don't want to watch it but maybe you have to go to what's great we have been talking okay about the deterioration of media and how it is that the inners internet consumes

everything you understand right now that if i put that video in front of everybody anybody they would watch it many many times because we've never seen that and so news entities all over will show it all day today you like i didn't even want to start with the idea of this being a moral stand they're just a bunch of people dead right now and there are all over the world all over the world this is happening on week if you want to check in on gaza if you want to check in on ukraine there's

death happening everywhere and uh... faces of death was something in my youth that was, you know, televised showing of death in real time. But if you went to bed last night and you woke up this morning and you have someone you love in Baltimore, you wonder if they were on that bridge at that moment, and we're supposed to be safer than that.

But this isn't an infrastructure story right now today. It's just we don't know how many are dead right now as we say this and there might be some the their their you know they might still be looking for people but also adjacent to that in pop culture and in sports

you've got the internet gathering around didi yesterday and i don't think we've ever seen stuff like this right because your childhood disappears with Bill Cosby what the hell is that and you're watching quiet on set on Max and you see that Nickelodeon was that Nickelodeon was there was pedophiles on the loose like everywhere you look people are gathering to look at the dirty stuff and yesterday what we were watching is an icon for many people's childhood a mogul

there's video of him walking around what looks like an airport scared and at that moment we're all sort of wondering like we did with OJ Simpson is all of these all of what is happening right now in the federal raids of his homes that leads to his kids in handcuffs is accusations that if proven which he's denied and it needs to be said that he's denied right now as we see but everyone's gather around watching whether is did he about to lose all his

freedom or is he about to try to do what Russell Simmons did and go to? Bali and get out of town on a private plane because he can can money escape Are we watching in the internet age what was watching? Oh Jay Simpson on television 20 years ago, so that's what it felt right? That's what the internet was doing yesterday, correct? Absolutely, especially with his kids being handcuffed and put out as Miami house. That was very jarring to see. You feel me?

It was, yeah. That's what really hit me. When you see the two kids, they look like teenagers in handcuffs. It's like, wow, this is so real. And now, unfortunately, there will be a presumption of guilt. Okay, everything here is alleged. There's a bunch of allegations that his children were implicated in this ring and social media sleuths started digging up videos of women that, of young women that Diddy claimed

to have adopted. And so there's all, there's overwhelming circumstantial evidence, there's an overwhelming number of allegations in the court of public opinion. Many of these have water, hold water. Diddy has denied seemingly a mountain of allegations against him and now the optics of him seemingly on the run to add to all of this. I don't want to get to the sports stories just yet because we've got two giant sports betting scandals and I think the lesser of them, or certainly the less obvious of them involves Ohtani.

The less obvious of them because I was just presented with something so staggeringly stupid that I'm like, that's the most obvious alleged. But that's the most obvious betting crime I've ever seen wandering off to the locker room with eye issues as opposed to just running around on the court, falling down, fouling out, doing something that would allow you the deniability. We'll get to that story in a second.

For lack of a better phrase, hedging with allegedly on this particular scandal. Oh man, allegedly is holding up a lot on its shoulders right now. I believe I will present to the audience what I believe to be the single, I mean, no innocent until proven guilty, the single most obvious betting crime an athlete has had since Bart Giamatti died after punishing Pete Rose forever for gambling on baseball. Like I want to get to what the last 40 years have wrought because this is just the very beginning of you seeing the

dirty underbelly of how many people compete and bet and can't control what gets into your locker room when money's involved. And the gates have opened on this. But let's stay with Diddy for just a second here because this is nearby. Star Island is right here. His life has been here his with his mother lives here he was here all the time he was here all the time during the most debauchery so where it is that fame and power grabs people in the temptations of miami come and all of a sudden your life is totally out of control because you're so

powerful all the vanities are huge. The Kardashians can create that into a billion dollar empire. You're a mogul on top of mogul. And it made me think of Vince McMahon when I think of the allegations here. How powerful people get to a place. And I'm not saying that all powerful people

are some version of perverted, but there are so many, I'm gonna say perverts, who are powerful people are are some version perverted but there there are so many from the same perverts who are powerful people it makes me wonder like do you get to a level of fame where whether you're vince mcmahon or this the heights of pleasure are like just would none of us would even understand it because you just an abuser of power and part of like again all allegations but that's what he'd like when russell simmons is hiding in bali

and he's hiding we all know it were like all you did those things in your hiding and you know he denies them and allegedly yeah i mean this but we're watching yesterday thinking we were going to see the oj simpson thing again correct and people are tracking private planes now as well and we know what about where he is as we speak. Right, the fire alarm is... I know, I'm live.

I know, I'm live now though. I can't stop what we're doing just because there's a fire alarm. Billy, is everything okay? You just pretend that's not there and keep going. Private plane, I mean... It's piercing into my brain. I know it's tough to do our job.

What are we talking about? I don't want to be a Monday morning quarterback on this, but love air. Someone should have, you know, like, hey, what's going on, right? Wrong? I'll turn this off. Can we pick apart the easy one

and just head into the John Tate Porter one? Can we start there? You want to start with the sports scandal. Yeah, well, because that one seems like the easiest one to tackle because this one seems like the easiest one to tackle because this one seems like the most obvious. Whenever you have, thank you very much for the warning. Maybe we should get out of here.

Let's investigate everybody. But when a prop on Jontay Porter is the single biggest moneymaker in the NBA, according to Draft King's sports book that night, we got something to look into, especially when the player willingly takes himself out of a game and all the under's cash. And I've been wronged. I bet on John Tay Porter like two times his ass went under. God damn it, salute to John Tay Porter, but lock his ass up. How did everybody know?

Was there a group chat? How did all the gamblers got together and told each other? There's a TV show called World's Dumbest Criminals. Dare I say if it was still on air, my boy John Tate would be friend-center. All right, let me explain to the audience that may not be up to the details. I discovered who this person was yesterday.

I learned that he is the brother of Michael Porter. I learned that he played for the Raptors. I was not familiar with his game. And I learned this name because it just came across with betting scandal. There's just came across with betting scandal there's been an investigation in the betting scandal i'm like okay we better get used to those right i don't know who this player is but there will be many names coming in the future and this will be the first this'll this'll be much worse

much worse than calvin ridley this is so obvious that that career is over like this but what he's also a stature uh... where you could say his career that's correct, but we all discovered together Correct that he looked like not like Michael Porter But like a 2000 rom-com of what a basketball player would look like if you went to Hollywood to go get a basketball player Correct absolutely loving basketball

extra we Perfect we agree yes, and now the but the thing is that by itself scandalous enough you could say oh shit This is gonna be this people paying attention will know that this is worse than Otani No matter what the details are on Otani because this is just so very obvious Allegedly there's none of this is proven ledger Okay Allegedly there's none of this is proven. Allegedly. This is all allegedly. Okay ten thousand larger than ten thousand dollars of bets came in on his unders in random games like brother the dumbest criminals. No the details. Just say no one get an e-pay to this group chat this would have made this all go away. The free e-pay by the way we piled it on at this point. I need the audience to understand that what John T. Porter did was allegedly.

Allegedly. Has he denied? He did that shit. Allegedly. Or has he been like, ah, you got me. Not yet, but we all got you. Do you realize that crimes are rarely solved by the internet quite this successfully where it's like, there's no need for allegedly here we all see what happened this is obvious but I've got to get through the details of the alleged Ramos's likes has a Twitter case been

this open and shut for me this is what see those hey it's Mike and first off let me thank you a lot of people have hit me up privately curious about my fishtail palms and I just got some landscaping done and let me tell you they've never looked better. I've got light shining on them and now every night I go outside, sit on my patio, look at my fishtail palms and drink some Miller Lite. Yeah a lot has changed over the years. One thing that hasn't is the great taste of Miller Lite. It was the original light beer and to this day it's still the best one. Miller Lite has more of the taste

that you want, and less of the stuff that you don't. Oh, sitting outside with my family, letting the music play, and sipping Miller Lite. That is the good stuff folks. That is what life's about. Times change, but you can always enjoy the great taste of Miller Lite. Tastes like Miller time.

LeBatard show with the stugats This is what I'm going to enjoy about this time Greg in in journalism as Gambling the gambling money is propping up all of sports media content right now

Like all of it is being held up and when you invite as the leagues did because i i remember when it happened right fantasy leagues have become so so on the president europe was already doing this but seeing the name draft kings on the basketball court was like well this is gambling right gambling so sports and sports in america is now going to normalize gambling and then the pandemic gambling and then the pandemic came in and oil wells everywhere and the gambling money's holding a lot of people up

like industries because the gambling money is something that makes march madness even though you don't know the names they're just uniforms running up and down the average game is getting eight million viewers because that's gambling on television running up and down the average game is getting eight million viewers because that's gambling on television running up and down and so the corrosive elements of that are the dangers to the intrat integrity of sports are that your players can be bought your referees can be bought and in this case these are the details and they matter because they're this obvious

this guy didn't do us the courtesy of just wandering around bumping into people and fouling out so you could deny that you were throwing the game this guy went out with him under he went out with an eye injury and then the bets start poor the pets of poured in to make it to make this guy's under and everything the single biggest moneymaker on DraftKings that's the most suspicious thing in the history of American gambling it was a reaggravation of his eye injury so he had an eye injury prior to if you want to play the alleged probably knew he has an eye thing any little thing could saying could re aggravate it. It was a re aggravation that he was gambling. Allegedly.

Yeah. I learned yesterday that Michael Porter had a brother. So like, I do think it's pretty sus that this is the top moneymaker when it comes to DraftKings Sportsbook. And we should say that we are presented by DraftKings Sportsbook and there's a lot of people that have opined on social media, a lot of people that also have their own conflicts of interest, by the way, taking to the pulpit and saying, well, what did you expect to happen when sports

gambling became legal in this country? And I will say, is there an uptick in, as we saw in Iowa with both those college football teams? Yeah, maybe some of this is a byproduct of sports gambling becoming more legal. I would say what is certainly increased as a result of sports betting becoming legal is you finding out about it. And these sports books who are league partners reporting their data to these league partners. It's how Calvin Ridley got pinched. It's certainly how DraftKings apparently shared this very suspicious data with its league partner.

If you think that this is now just an invention, fixing games and players taking a dive, if you think that this is allegedly a new thing because all of a sudden a DK logo is on a court, you are so naive, so, so, so naive. This thing has been happening all over the world and now we at least have these entities cooperating to report some of this stuff. Didn't they rig the 1917 World Series? Allegedly. I want to say one time, I have never been prouder to represent DraftKings Sportsbook. They sniffed that rat out and they called his ass out. Salute the Draft Kings. We love you.

I do want to say one thing though. No, what do you mean allegedly? They're heroes allegedly and that is our unbiased spin on all of this. If there is one thing to take away from this story, completely unbiased, it's said DraftKings Sportsbook is the best. Yes, that's right. No, allegedly, there. But none whatsoever. If you were to bet on your overs, I feel like that should be okay.

Okay, well, you've taken the hot take out to the place, I'm not prepared to take it right now. Like, if I'm betting on my overs, I'm trying to play well, right? Just hold on. I think Rhys Davis would call that a risk-free investment, my friends. By the way, that cashed.

Everyone that wants to give Rhys shit, it cashed. All right. Let's normalize, please. If we're going to normalize it, let's normalize it. Okay, fine. Do I want to join you on the limb of, all right, everyone who wants to bet the overs on themselves, have at it. We don't care about the integrity of this.

You're just betting on your own confidence. America believes in you bet on yourself, let's make that be the rule, just you can't bet against yourself. Exactly right, there's nothing more integrist than going after something yourself and then doing it and then reaping the benefits of that. Well I don't know if that is a word, but it should be a word. It should be a word. That's a car. OK. I had a very long drive home. And on my long drive home last evening, I decided to fix sports.

And so number one, this one's free, by the way. I fix the NBA. I fix the NBA. You don't want to maybe hold this to June? No, no, no. I fix it. We're going to fix sports today. Here it is.

Mike, hold on. You want to know? This one's free. I do want to know to know the only thing I just want you to make a decision between two things Because I do want this content I think it is good content But what Billy said there in making fun of Tony that integris is the name of a car It is an amazing name another word. No, it's absolutely a word If you want to look on Oxford on any dictionary comm it's a word. Sorry guys idiots

Dorks I would buy that car. Okay. Yeah, also, I believe it sounds reliable. I think yes What else is it because the integrus it it is get it is not it doesn't use gas, right? the integrus preserves the environment somebody's got to call a car an integrist that that is just economically friendly and also environmentally friendly or a medication it also sounds like a deer lion hybrid some kind of in ten minutes yeah maybe it sounds like something's to God's would would have like the antidote to, like that he would not Or be allergic to. He'd be allergic to.

Yeah, he'd be allergic to it. Allergic to integrity, yeah. Mike, you were saying? I fix the NBA on my drive home. We're all frustrated. We said let's change the dimensions of the court. I understand that that's tricky with the set infrastructures of certain places. We're not all frustrated, okay?

There are plenty of people who like basketball just the way that it is. I love it more than I've ever loved it. Like we're not all frustrated. No, I understand, but let me break it down for you. There's a very clear trend when it comes to NBA basketball, and it's not a good one when it comes to people tuning in. I think the viewers are weighing in by switching the channel, that they don't love this style of the game.

And you can romanticize post-play, and you could watch videos of the 80s and say, for real, this is what we're missing. But the way that the game is going, it's less visually appealing to some. And I understand where you're coming from, where you like guys bombs away. Here's my solution.

Bigger balls. Wow. Hey, yo. Smaller rims. Yeah. Wow. Smaller rims? No, no, no. This is easy.

Is this a carnival? Smaller rims? No, no, no. Bigger balls? You can almost fit two balls in one rim. You can almost fit two. No, no, no. You can fit two.

But not like side by side. You gotta move it around. people don't realize you just make it bigger by like a centimeter and let's see what happens but if you make it bigger by a centimeter smaller to Greg's point you have less things to adjust yeah no I know you're only fixing the ball that yeah keep the dimensions a lot of keep the rim keep the rim there's all sorts of different size balls. The WNBA use a different size ball. Swish. Yeah, make a bigger ball. Like a beach ball.

Just a slightly, no, no, no, almost imperceptible. A slightly bigger ball by like a centimeter and see what happens. What if you tell people you made a bigger ball, but you never did? So then in their head, I mean, if it's just centimeters bigger, you wouldn't know the difference, right?

But once you know it's a bigger ball, you'd be like, ah, I don't know about this. So it's like a placebo effect with basketballs where you just tell everybody, hey, you know what, this year, the balls are bigger. And it's the exact same balls and then see what happens. It's such a good advertising campaign, right? And we got bigger balls.

You're like, oh shit, yeah. If you understand what I came up with on my drive home they would have paid a consulting firm seven million dollars for I just make the ball a little bit bigger I can't wait to reach that point in my career get salting what a racket no balls all right there's a there's an easier way to fix the NBA okay and I just thought of this off the top of my head it makes so much sense. Shorten the season, limit three point shots. You put a whole new strategy into the game.

You know how you limit three point shots? With a bigger ball. I'm just going to stop everyone now. Okay. Because we've got plenty to talk about today. And I'm now officially mad that Mike Ryan has decided to fix basketball. How does a bigger ball fix three point shots? Because less shots go in. And so it'll naturally legislate fewer shots being taken from outside and people will want to get a little closer to the rim

because their margin for error has now shrunk because the ball is a little bit bigger. So guess what? Zach Eady, you now have a place in the NBA. But Greg wants to literally legislate how many three pointers youinters you can take. You'd even have it on a board, and every time they take one, an X goes through it.

Like timeout. I'm not sure what the number should be. In my mind, it's 10. Yeah, they got three three-pointers left in the game. How are they gonna use them? Go for shot 20. This is so convoluted. Save them.

If you just make the ball a little bit bigger, it does everything, it does all the work for us. Nobody sees that change. I'm on Dan's side. I do know that no matter how big you make the ball a little bit bigger, it does everything, it does all the work for us. Nobody sees that change. I'm on Dan's side. I do know that no matter how big you make the ball, the Celtics will find a way to blow a damn league when I'm in Miami. If you look back on the track record, if you see me in Miami, John Tay Port, I see you out there, bet the Celtics will lose when I'm in Miami because they will lose and crap the bed. I bring my Celtics jersey every time to wear down here and I can never wear it without being embarrassed. Salute not you can't do a salute at the end of that salute and be a brother

We please salute the bigger balls idea because I think the bigger balls idea is a good idea Yeah pushing that idea man, you know you don't you don't even get to how I fix gambling in sports We'll get to it. There's time.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what a rain that would be. Stugats. Standing outside with my mouth open wide.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what a rain that would be. This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats juju ever so gently and that's not fair to call him a hater when he is a he's very positive and he's a celtics fan and they are enraging because he denied the allegation the all I know he did allegedly okay I hate him allegedly but he just throws salutes out there when he's when he's crushing people that says salute salute and it does diluted I'm not going to lie it works but I hear in there the thing that everyone is doing to the Celtics now you know how

they're gonna lose like they did last night where they're up by 30 and you know they're 30 points better than everybody and then something happens at the end and the game gets close. And then, oh look, at the end of the game, bigger balls like Atlanta and all that. Who's gonna, at the end of the games, Mike's trying to fix the sport

and I'm here to tell him there's nothing wrong with it because you'll get me sucked in every time. If, oh, this is the best Celtics team I've ever seen they actually crush everybody but They've got that weak spot of that's how they're gonna lose everything in a game seven against Milwaukee I guarantee you if you put out to the world. Hey Raptors wizards today bigger balls If you just put the word out they're gonna be playing this game with bigger balls You're gonna have people tuning in like you won't believe you know who needs some bigger balls the Joe Missoula

He needs to grab the leg in Miami. I mean in Boston and tell those brothers look too much Isolation ball in critical moments. We need to swing the ball around around the what's the perimeter? Yeah, everywhere whatever they call it these days to swing the ball around the perimeter, everywhere, whatever they call it these days. Allegedly. Allegedly, it's the perimeter. They need to get more team oriented instead of trying to shoot jumpers

because they're gonna shoot themselves right in the foot. Salute to Joe Mazzullo though. Salute, absolutely. I don't think I'll ever get over him trying to defend that shot at the end of a quarter. Did you see that Dan? Where he's just going at it? Like going on trying to defend it, it was so weird.

I never forgive him for saying he was tech versus the word. Sorry guys. Sorry. He watches the town every week. What is that? And he's not going to change the same thing. That team should be an overwhelming favorite to win this year's championship. They are leaps and bounds better than everybody. By a lot. Oh, come on, their superstar goes missing in weird time.

But that's not playoff basketball. But that's not playoff basketball. Allegedly. You didn't let me finish. There we go. I'm sorry, I'm a hater. I was in the middle of my take. I was having.

I'm sorry, I'm a hater. I don't like that team. I don't the middle of my take. I was having... I'm sorry, I'm a hater. I don't like that team. I don't like them, their fans, what they represent. The fact that they built their prestige on four other teams with maybe three black guys in total in the league. I don't like them, one bit. In fact, most people hearing my voice right now have seen the Toronto Raptors win the

same amount of NBA championships. Yeah, I have. But you know what? This sparks a question. You called me a hater, and I understand. You're a Miami guy. And you just told me you don't like me to my face. I understand that.

But what do you guys like? Because I listen to the show every single day. I hear y'all. I see y'all look into the camera and be like, I don't like this person for doing that. And this person should be ashamed of themselves. What do you brothers like in sports? I love Matthew Kachuck. I love Matthew Kachuck so much.

He is honestly like his brother Brady is expecting. And I liked and I got so happy for Uncle Chuckie. Same to you. I just love this man. Huge game tonight. Oh my God. What do you like? Wait a minute.

Okay, my bad. No, no. I like the Panthers, Juju. I like what you're doing, Juju. But Billy, all of a sudden, my bad. No, no, I like the Panthers juju I like I like what you're doing juju, but Billy all of a sudden and this was curious But you'll get used to this with Billy just threw out there big game tonight Panthers and Bruins that we could talk about He's just trying to ruin the show It's a big scheme of the year Thank you, thank you. I appreciate thank you. It's a biggest game of the year. I'm giving you an on-ramp to discuss it at my not. I appreciate, thank you.

If you cheat off of me, you're not going to get an A. I'm telling you that right now. Forsling and Barkov back in the lineup today would appear. This is huge. And we're experimenting the last few games with Teresinko on that third line. That's where I like him. That's where I like him.

I don't want to screw up the chemistry of that first line. However, E2 and Lundell with Sam Reinhardt, something there. Something there. Dress rehearsal tonight, some are saying, right Mike? This is as big a game as you'll find on the NHL slate. And that is saying something because every night there is banger after banger. Last night, the LA Kings go into Vancouver,

banger of a game three, two. You found out exactly why you cannot trust the Vancouver Canucks one iota. They're going to get upset banger of a game, three two.

Ahhhh boys! Yes we are!

Do we have a barrel ride for you tonight at Ombrés! Woo! Oh! I've missed you so much! Where have you been hockey guy who talks far away from the mic? Where have you been? North of the border mostly. Great year for Canada.

They're going to fall on their freaking faces. Let me tell you something. The Florida Panthers got it going on You got Evan Rodriguez out there. I like to call him Boca Grande Have you seen the size of that guy's mouth huge mouth biggest mouth you'll ever see I'm telling you not enough people are talking about Boca Grande you got Nick Cousins Primos I like to call him out there doing Primos things you got the smoothest skater in the NHL and Sasha Barkov going back home to Finland next year. Really jacked about that.

Can I stop you? You got seven teams in line for the Biden Cup, bro. Seven. Seven. That'll hit you harder than a nice torts of beach. Look, hockey guy, surfer guy, far away from the mic, I have missed you so much that I am willing to accept you back as an occasional correspondent that bothers the audience with his hockey knowledge.

Who's the best defender in the NHL? Kale McCarr, Quinn Hughes. Discuss. No, we don't want to discuss that though. I'd like to hear that conversation. For me? It's Usopp Forsling. No one better in the NHL when it comes to plus minus.

Not talked about enough, fellas. Get on board. Hop on board and paddle. That's right, sir. Hop on board. Lord Stanley's coming. Hop on. If you get stuck, cut the strap, just like Jimmy Buffett did

to Colin Jost in his book. RIP. Did you know that Jimmy Buffett saved Colin Jost's life? Surfing in the Dominican. Really? I bet you didn't. Wow. I read that book for book club.

Still waiting for that mystery crate episode. I'm ready. Forget it. Read that entire book. That's where I've been. Last seven months, been reading Colin Jost's book. Jimmy Buffett, rest in peace. Lovely cruise.

Greg Cody has been denied his sweet sweet ending on the show of jimmy buffett singing his last song as he retired instead he is going to have a instead he is going to a concert hollywood ball concert of a lifetime to watch uh... former beetle and other musical great basically tell greg's favorite hey we respect you as everyone knows how subjective all this art is as one of the greatest and your loss will be felt Greg Cody is going to do that and I was smoking a Hollywood bull watching Ainsley Coppitar last night I want more

of your coverage okay my problem right now is though with i'm i'm a little scared at how good billy or how comfortable billy has gotten inside of both anarchy and executive producer because what he just did to me deftly as juju tried to insert positivity in the room is he floored our entire audience with hockey that's what happened juju was trying to make the room positive and Billy doesn't want a positive room. What the f***?

He doesn't. No, he doesn't. No, what the f***? Billy does not want a positive room back there. You were trying to get Tony to take the... So positive, Juju. Tell me what you like about sports and Billy's like, no, don't tell me. We brought back an old friend we haven't heard

from in a long time. The Vegas Golden Knights are gonna upset the Vancouver Canucks. It's plain as day. You're gonna have Mark Stone coming back into the lineup and Tomas Hurdle. They made a deadline move for him. Keep an eye out for these Vegas Golden Knights, man.

They're doing something shady with that salary cap. How do we allow this? Billy, please get the sound as quick as you can because I heard Tony say who, I think, and Tony's listened to this show for a long time, and we can't get him into hockey. It's not possible. He's Cuban and he lives in Dade,

but Billy just shouted out Tomas Hurtle, and it made me think of, because someone shouted RIP, I don't know who shouted RIP, and someone might say, well what, did he just kill Tomas Hurtle, who I don't think is dead, and no, Billy is re-

Just hasn't played for a little bit. Vegas is pretending he's dead, only to resurrect him Undertaker style against the Vancouver Canucks who they will beat in the first round Take that to the biggity biggity biggity bank BOOM! I believe the time I was most exposed on my lack of hockey knowledge on ESPN was with our hockey correspondent the late Alan Thicke, RIP. Have you found that sound, Billy, of me making Tomas Hurtle, Tomas from Hialeah, because I made his first name Hispanic instead of whatever it is that I was supposed to be doing there? I want to talk Tomas Hurtle with him. Is he the best player in hockey? Hockey correspondent. Who the hell is that?

Yeah, man. Yeah. Oh, I miss that man so much. Oh, gosh. Rest in power, King. Yeah. Oh, God. Seriously, though, if you don't place a bet

on the Vegas Golden Knights to upset the Vancouver Canucks when this matchup becomes official, you are fooling yourselves, boys. This is as vintage a President's Trophy potential winner falling on their face as humanly possible. I do not trust the Vancouver Canucks. One bit, this is free advice. That was well said by the surfer hockey guys.

Risk free, risk free. Sponsor it. Some would say. Brought to you by DraftKings. Sponsor it. Some would say, we can say. No we can't. It is in my personal opinion.

Allegedly. Say it. Say it with your chest. It is in my personal opinion that DraftKings Sportsbook encourages safe betting. And they are a huge part of the regulatory process. Free e-pay. Hey it's Mike. And first off, let me thank you.

A lot of people have hit me up privately, curious about my fishtail palms and I just got some landscaping done and let me tell you, they've never looked better. I've got light shining on them and now every night I go outside, sit on my patio, look at my fishtail palms and drink some Miller Lite. Yeah, a lot has changed over the years.

One thing that hasn't is the great taste of Miller Lite. It was the original light beer, and to this day, it's still the best one. Miller Lite has more of the taste that you want, and less of the stuff that you don't. Sitting outside with my family, letting the music play, and sipping Miller Lite. That is the good stuff folks. That is what life's about. Times change, but you can always enjoy the great taste of Miller Lite. Tastes like Miller time.
