You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabor Tarshall with the StugatSpotcast. Tony and Billy, we are starting a live program. You guys, microphones have gone on we could use you doing this program instead of Whatever it is you're doing gossiping it looks like water gossiping Water cooler gossiping Mike is counting. I can hear Mike counting. We're live on YouTube now everything's live and Mike's going three two one and you guys are over there giggling about something that's clearly not related to what we're doing here which is work. Huh. Oh, I mean, there's no way of knowing. Well, tell us what it was. Please Tony. Well,

the reason why is because Billy looked at me and said, you know what? You don't know what you have until it's gone. And I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, look at you. And I'm like, I can't. What? Like, what do you want? He's like, your mustache is gone. I was like, well, I was fighting with myself in the mirror because you know when your day, Dan, this happens to you too. When when you're trying to trim up your your mustache and all of a sudden one side Was a little higher so you're trying to fight the other side to try to get it equal But then it goes to a dangerous place where you're like, yeah, it's a little Michael Jordan Yeah, I can't do this one and then you know you keep moving. Oh wow

So you you lost the mustache that Mike complimented you on the other day Not a lot of people could pull off that mustache, a aggressively 70s biker. I didn't think it looked good, but you carry everything with confidence and you think everything you do looks good. So you got caught though. It does. Shaving. I got caught. Yeah, I got caught in the middle. I was trying to, as you can see on YouTube, I got caught in the middle. Above the lips is usually where I go for my mustache. One got a little bit too high by like the canine too. And so you just lost all of it. And I was like, you know what? Let me just not even do this. Let me trim the thing. Are you going to start over? Absolutely.

Billy was talking about how he wanted it back because he thinks I look better with it. What I said, that was a very long story. What I said was I didn't like the mustache and then you got rid of the mustache. Now I long for the mustache. He told you a really long story. Yeah. I mean, tighten it up here, buddy. Tony, you have been a good soldier for a long time. I believe that anarchist Billy has become your best friend only so he can have you close so he can undermine you. I think I'm onto what Billy is doing. And you've fallen for it because you're a dope.

That sounds deceptive. That does sound deceptive, but also true because Billy and I are very close outside of the show. That's, no. But also, I gave him a job today, because sometimes you know how we look at Tony, you're like, what the hell is this guy do around here? So I gave him an official job,

which I don't know if that's my place to do, but I said, you know what, he feels like it's not. You need to walk around this world with some purpose, kid. Here's a job, and you know what, his job is, he's in charge of nicknames now. Hmm. Is that why everyone was asking me what my nicknames were? Well, no, I gave you your nickname.

It's C-Dub. Oh. C-Dub, I like that. C-Dub or C-Dub. C-Dub. C-Dub. Either work. Okay.

C-Dub. You want to be known as a winner like you get a double-use plural. Yeah. Even though your last name is Wilder Singular. Yeah. There's only one Wilder. Oh. Dan, I also like the started this whole show with

the equivalent of would you like to share with the class? Oh, but I mean Billy does this. Look, we're running a we're running a business. It wasn't here. We're running a business. We're trying to run a business and Mike is saying three, two, one and Billy is so disinterested in what we're doing here that he's asking Tony about his mustache to distract him before we start the show. To make sure that Tony doesn't have a good show. Because Tony doesn't like it, or Billy doesn't like it when others are the ones

talking a lot. Wow. I was done before one. I'm ready to go. I'm good at timing. I mean, I'm gonna use every second. I don't have time to catch up with Tony because we have all these other things going on.

So I just saw him yesterday and see him. He wasn't here. There's lots of rain. I was worried about him. What happened if he had an accident on the way? You're getting the most out of every second. That's what you have to do in life. Exactly right.

Yeah. Well, there's something happening around here because we have so many people and people make lots of complaints about it. I never know what show we're getting. Sometimes it's Charlotte. I just want everyone to know. Are you people?

I want everyone to know that Jessica is for those fans. Actively boycotting the show I found out, because she's so tired of how Miami Heat Talk has ruined the job, not just that she took here, at MetalLark Media, that she wants her show back and her show. Her show. Her show, what does that mean? The show that she gave her career up and her show. Her show.

Her show, what does that mean? Her show that she gave her career up to be. Not unlike the rest of us who just happened to be around in Miami. She flew, she changed her life from New York to come down here. Not to do a heat show. Not to do local sports radio. To not talk about the NBA finals.

Not to do local sports radio. To do a show with range. In today's American Times. Sorry, we run it. I mean, she could cover. She wants to be here. Right. Yeah. Or someone could be back there. Someone could beat us. Someone could beat us. Let's talk about the fact because it means not here right now. He's party planning. He is somehow successfully executed stealing a mixer

from metal arc media that takes care of some media types when they're in town And I'm listening in a meeting before the show. Oh be careful. You can invite anybody or everybody because if you do that You'll have 7,000 people here all of a sudden a mean gets the party that he wants that he's been promising and then immediately Get scared of it and wants to make a VIP list so only 40 people people can get in. So you went straight to air with it. Yeah. Thanks, Dan. Now we're gonna get a lot of people, Dan, you know what I'm saying? Talked about not talking about it.

Yes, that's what we just got. We haven't given any information. That was our first mistake. It could be a speak, it could be a speak easy type of part. You understand how speak easy's work. You don't have a secret knock. Yeah, we're in the password. We haven't told anybody anything yet.

You can talk about a speakeasy. You just can't tell people where it is, what the password is. It takes on this air of mystery. Right. Good point, you don't. Thanks, too. We're not telling people the details of just,

Amin has successfully somehow secured a mixer. And I don't know how he did that. I got the text laid at night. I thought I was running the company. I'm not. I'm being manipulated by a mean into a free liquor for everybody. Dan, what do you think? And my answer's no.

And then I hear, well, there's a party at an undetermined date and time and Dan, you're throwing it. That's how that happened. Thanks Dan. Very nice of you. It is nice of you. We're all just like awesome. Charlotte wasn't even coming until she heard about the party.

Yeah, that's why I'm here. Yeah. We've got an assortment of things that we're doing. Tonight, show members, Stugots is already saying I'm not going. He's asking everyone, do I have to go? Only the only question Stugots has asked about tonight is not going he's asking everyone do I have to go only only questions You got to ask about tonight is how do I get out of it? Yep, well not how do I get out of it and my obligated to go and I was told no so I've covered my bases

I was planning on going to the game. I mean what do you want from me to care? I do care I care enough that I'm going to the game maybe yeah I don't believe you'll make that drive. I believe that you will stay home and not work. Can we talk about the pre-show meeting where Hildi specifically told people that weren't VIPs, don't come watch a game with your family. I've been told that two people don't show up tonight. And that's what I plan on doing.

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. Lewis wanted to go and Hildi said don't go. Huh. Because it's gotten too big already because people don't realize that if you throw a party during the finals, a lot of people are gonna show up. Yeah, this isn't a speak easy.

It's at Savage Labs in Winwood. And members of the show will be there, not Lewis. He's staying home at home. He's staying home. He's staying home at home. He's home at home. The home at home. Yeah, it's right.

No, I was made as uncomfortable as Mike by what happened there, which is Lewis got his head cut off. He thought he was invited to a party. He thought he was one of us. Oh. Yeah, no, it was brutal. It was brutal. Tony, you somehow, you somehow,

you and Jude, you somehow skated past. I don't know what Hilde just did there, but she chopped the head off of Lewis. Lewis had a lot of people there. Lewis thought he had a party that he was going to tonight. And he was gonna invite his wife. He was just disinvite. Well, hold on.

First Moss, he was supposed to take photographs and all he did was drink all the free liquor. That is true. Bad judgment. I need to be clear. First act as an employee. Terrible judgment. I need to be clear on your stance as it relates to me.

Okay, because I don't want any resentment. I don't want you getting angry at me. I have now had two people who should be in charge of this place. I always love seeing you. I always love seeing you. I mean, that's the bait of a lot. We have our partners from Dollar Shave Club

and Draft Kings in town who'd be good for you to be there. Right. Okay, but not at the game. Or with my family. Are you actually planning your family? How for your family's a broad? No, they're back. They're back.

Everyone's home. So you're going to take your family to the game? Well, I was thinking about it. You were thinking about it. Yeah, yeah. I have to secure two more tickets, so I mean. Huh. I would like for you to be there. At the gate.

No, with us. Oh. At Savage Labs. How about at home? No, I don't want you to be at home. I want you to be with us. Come on. Come on.

Also, I'm going to be there because I want a pickle match with my sister, my big sister, Jessica Smetana. To look to you, I feel you wherever you are, if you can hear me, I'm sorry. But me and Jessica Smetana beat Roy and Chris Cody, 11 to 1 in pickle ball, which after further review should have been 11 to 0. Wow. Wow. Yeah, I'm gonna beat her because I lost.

Yeah, exactly. He's right. But I'm going to drink which makes me to live in the nothing. That's a pretty big deficit. Yeah, I love it. Watch a minute. You can head over to our YouTube page,

youtube.com slash at Levitard showed. Watch all the great content. Juju, I was a huge fan of you roasting Nick Friedel. Oh, that's good. Thanks, brother. He didn't like that so much. I think that you should, I think, as a symbolic act. Where's the origin? You should follow Friedel as a theme throughout the postseason,

even though you are, the remainder of the postseason, even though you are, nice, kind, decent, positive person, and just roast Friedel for being faked in Lebitard on the end of the year. That's the guy. That's the guy who looks like me. And I don't think anyone there noticed. Like they're like, yeah, that's the fat bearded guy that wanders around dresses poorly.

He was even playing dominoes at a tournament last year, dude. What? ECF, so I was like, hey, guy. That was that that right there was that has never net there's never been a shot fired across my bow by ESPN more than having Fridel replace me as a Hispanic at Domino Park when you had my father on the payroll is for a delt what's his version please Fridel Fridel he's not Hispanic it was so bogus he was for it they just Huh? They they they they rented my father's accent. They thought that they bought my voice.

They kicked me out. See this is there. I was there doing that for you. My father's the reason it wasn't a French show. Highly questionable with Dan Lillet. Because I don't look Cuban. We should rally against free del Castro. Yes.

Yes. Oh my god. Oh my Yes. Oh my God. Oh my God. It's unbelievable what ESPN has done. It's blasphemous. It's sacrilege. Do they have for Dell again going to Domino Park to show off how Hispanic he's not?

ESPN with their free del Castro. Unbelievable. It's infuriating. Speaking of which, Stugots is not feeling good right now, because Will Bond's about to come through here. I see a sign that says, My phone's coming through here. Yeah, I'm so going on my thing to my, my thing, man,

what's going on with me today? Vegas? Vegas. I took it, I drank it with those big Eiffel Tower drinks and it's always the second day after Vegas. Yeah, it's always the same. Exactly. How much did that drink cost? Less than a cocktail at the Golden Knights Arena.

I had a $45 cocktail at the Golden Knights Arena, Team Mobile Arena. What was in it? Just a double shot. No, just a double shot of Jamison. What? A double shot of Jamison with tip, $45. Jamo, I've gotten so used to absurd, absurd prices 45 dólares. Ayuda estoy en Barcelona y las criaturas están por todas partes. A raíz, bluque, a raíz.

Escuchéis lo que escuchéis, tapados los ojos. La calle vamos todos a cieras, pero lo más aterrador es no saber en qué confiar. Uy de las personas que os piden que mireis, si queréis seguir convido. box Barcelona estreno en Netflix el 14 de julio te atreves a ver Dan leba Tard Dog Rivers, you know Joel, he's gonna tweet what he wants to tweet I'm quite frankly I'm fine with it, if anything I want to go to Miami too is that alright? I mean, is this supposed to be in the front office by now? Hey, I could hit the back nine right up the practice

Oh, he'd love that. Oh, my God. Stugats. That meant me and Joel. Let's go. I mean, I mean, Stugats, that's a great question. It's a great question. If they win Gabe Six, that hurts my chances of coming down here.

And being handcuffed with Joel, it's a real handsome question to God. This is the Don Le Liberty Show with this two gods. I realized my error at the end of the last segment, one of the dangers of doing all of this live, that I made it sound like I was having drinks at a bar, at a hospital, which is a great idea. They absolutely need to do that. Someone needs to do that.

I just went to a coffee shop and bought a bunch of big bottles of water and green juices and stuff and I bought like six of them and was stunned that the price was $24 because I'm so used to now paying $9 for everything. Wait, you thought that was a good deal? It's a good deal, dad. It was super cheap.

Whatever it was, $4 bottle water's not cheap, Bub. They were big bottles. They were big bottles. Yeah, depends what size, if it's a leader bottle. Green juices. I love that. I love that. I love that.

I want to talk about what it is to God's that we're headed into tonight because I'm confused by the ratings. Right. The ratings have been good, but everyone can lie about the ratings now because it's harder to quantify some of this stuff than it's ever been and everyone always tells you, here's what our ratings were, if you count YouTube and streaming and however they're making up the numbers.

We've assumed this was going to be a bad numbers finals. It hasn't been in South Florida. In South Florida, what's the number? It's like 15% of all households to giant number. That's like Bill's dolphins. 15% of all households are watching the Miami Heat. That's Bill's dolphins regular season. No, that's the playoff game.

Okay. Like that's as big as sports gets down here, is that kind of number locally where the television to tuned in. And part of the reason for this is, because this is really, it is the greatest things to got. It's the underdog surprise story,

the team that you had given up on. If Miami's a bandwagon town, both of the local teams are that right now, but it's not just that and I want to explore something With the group about Yokehitch because I was shocked by Stugots' and Greg Cody's viewpoint that Yokehitch is not a pleasure to watch that he's just sort of you're watching basketball And I don't think they're Loan in this opinion by the way. I do not I believe that people think that there's a certain joylessness to his game Like you can enjoy the artistry

But he doesn't look like he's enjoying what he's doing and he's moving through your defense like an ocean liner It's not grace and ballet in the sky. It's that guy's too big for everybody Nobody can do anything against that He sees more of the court than everyone else because he's larger than everyone else slow moving the sky it's that guys too big for everybody. Nobody can do anything against that. He sees more of the court than everyone else because he's larger than everyone else. Slow moving, he's not dunking, he's taking the joy out of the game

by being so surgical about it. So they're not alone in this opinion, but God do I think they're wrong. Ha ha ha ha. I so, and so the visuals though, the narrative. It's the opinion though, I know, know but the narrative if you are just in storylines hey sports make me feel something because it's about the

stories what's better than the undrafted guys going after the giant the giant who's the MVP they can't beat him he's the best why is he the best look at him he he's also the best though because he plays like he's he looks like he's hung over and and he plays like he's doing

wind sprints at a JV practice and then it's magic So I don't know how you could not love Watching someone who you could ostensibly be But you will never be because he is actually out of this world. It's like a mind-trade It's like one of those magic eye things where you have to like blur your eyes and you're like, oh wait, he's actually incredible. C. double. I'm not saying I don't like him. Okay. I'm not saying he's not the best

player in the NBA. I'm not saying he's a once-in-a-lifetime talent. I am saying that people always say the best athletes in any sport. Okay. Across sports are the people who play in the NBA. And the NBA does not want that guy being their best player. That's all they want a guy like LeBron, Kobe, Michael Jordan, who slices through defenses, who could dunk, who gets in the air, who does it the way that we are, we're accustomed to watching players, the best player in the NBA play. We are not accustomed to watching the colon Yokech be the best player in the NBA play. We are not accustomed to watching Nicola Yokic,

be the best player in the NBA because this guy is never the best player in the NBA. He's not except now when he is, but the thing that I think I don't have to enjoy it. You don't, you don't. Thank you. What I like about is that it's indifferent. He's like, oh, okay, like we're going to play basketball today. All right. Sure. Here's a one handhanded one-handed pass this way One behind my back. I'm a score 45 and it doesn't really matter to him like he doesn't talk to the team

He doesn't address anybody's just like I'm here to play basketball This is one of the things to gods that I'd like to what your has because the globalization of the sport is meant to make international players Man the NBA is gonna end up taking Saudi money. Like now this door is going to open totally. I wouldn't surprise would you be if NBA teams started selling to Saudi money. Like the money is going to keep getting whitewashed. I'm assuming there will be a fifth major in Saudi Arabia. That's that's what I'm assuming we're going to end up keep going, keep going until it all blurs together and you're just taking the oil money and ruining

sports and ruining earth and no one's going to care because whatever we need money to fuel the whole stupid thing. But in the middle of that, you got to play who's foreign. If he were American, good God, would he be a star? Good God. Same personality, same exact personality. Holy shit with that. A white dude's dominating the NBA. Yeah, but it's a white dude, but we don't understand or know him. Where does he come from? Oh, shit. What's his past? What his brothers? What? What is all that? All that is rugged beyond all of your belief here to get the money dominating the sport with an assortment of survival skills that make him someone who feel like he's joylessly tearing apart your league because he can with his armpits. I want to sell Michael Jordan. I want style and grace and and and fashion.

What am I to do with this person who annihilates everyone and doesn't seem to be even enjoying it? Because God knows what he's seen. It's very Eastern European of him. It is. You're making a man to be Rambo. I mean, he is. You guys are telling me, you know what? Rambo could not pull this one off.

He's magic and bird and America hates him. What? Go ahead, Rambo. Pull that one off. Like, you're ruining the game, no. Like, you think you got to go. I didn't say he was ruining the game. I'm just saying the NBA would prefer anyone else in the mba finals

you're saying he's boring i'm saying you want a story that's better than war torn country yet okay fair from villanova or do it really do you think you imagine that you'll get just graduated from Duke as the white guy he he he he he played a season at Duke

and now is dominating the NBA with this game i mean stugatz and kody would be turning him into the most blasphemous of things something beyond michael jordan if he just spent a season at Duke yes or Carolina and were american needs to also be american american would help Michael Jordan. If he just spent the season at Duke, Yes, and we're American. Needs to also be American. American would help. I mean,

yeah, because the xenophobia is sort of baked in to everything. Honestly, what are we doing with Yoke? It's the Cody and Stugatz can publicly come by that opinion without apology that Yoke is no fun to watch. He's not fun to watch. I'm sorry. That was just Tony, you've been watching basketball for a long time. I love watching Yokech.

What are you trying to do? I'm just saying he's not aesthetically pleasing to watch. He's not his game is not aesthetically pleasing to watch. That's all I'm saying. There are moments, there are times he does things and you were sitting there going, Oh my God. How do you do that? But he can't jump. He can't really dunk. He doesn't dunk. I mean, I want to hear about it. There are moments. They say, Oh my God. How did he do that? But he's not aesthetically pleasing. Listen, it might be aesthetically pleasing to you guys. It's not to me and it's not to Greg Cody and it's

not to many, many other people who are watching the NBA finals. They just, they don't want to see his game. It's a garbage game. That's what it is. Wow. Oh, wow. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Dude, you got, I thought you of all people would appreciate how he gallops and just sort of, he shows up and. I don't want to watch myself play basketball. I want to see someone better than me play basketball. That's all I'm saying. Like someone who could jump can do a windmill dunk, you know, no look passes. Yeah. He's done those I know, but it looks awkward, you know. Are you gonna do it? I mean, or Carolina, I congratulate you as a being a do, I mean, or Carolina. Like, congratulations are being a giant. I mean, he has an advantage.

To all of it, everyone else. I want all of us, all of us is a show. Do it at 5'8". As a show, I want us to genuinely reflect as an audience, I want us to stop and genuinely reflect because this is an interesting time in sports coverage, okay? Stephen A. says Shannon Sharp, you can be part of an ensemble on first take,

but you can't be the guy, I'm the guy, and we're gonna ensemble it on first take. Undisputed has an opening. There are very few jobs now available, very few in this space, and everyone's up for it. Nick Wright and everyone at Fox is up for what is a very good job and again, very few of them in the industry. We just witnessed with all of the money in content and sports these days, 17 million

a year for McAfee. Stugots just took the take where it's never been taken. Yo, get garbage game garbage game plays like me. I'm auditioning plays like me. I don't want a guy still got things at five eight that he would be doing that on the court. No, I think what he's saying is if he was his height, he'd be doing that. That's what he's saying. Yeah, just bowl height, he'd be doing it. I'd be able to do that. Yeah, that's what he's saying. Yeah, just bowl through everyone and just, you know, put a garbage basket in because I'm tall than everyone else.

What he's saying is if Yokech was his size, obviously, he wouldn't be as impressive. You think he makes garbage baskets? What made Sput Webb winning a dunk contest so impressive that he's Sput Webb? Have you gone back and seen that dunk contest? Sput Webb, 72, we'll see how impressive it is. He just did a two handed dunk. That's so impressive that he's sput Well, I've gone back and see that dunk make the Sput web 7-2 when see how impressive it is It's a two handed dunk. That's it That's what he say you agree with you guys then sounds like you do you don't you don't have to see this take through I'm telling you

It's like I had that one wrong the garbage man. I mean oh I had that one wrong. The garbage man. I mean, oh The leading garbage man is the character. It's the Arm bleeding garbage man is what the NBA needs to market there This is the new star of our game. We've moved away from Guns on the gram into our new brand Yokech. The arm-leading garbage man with his garbage game destroys the NBA, holds up the trophy, tramples like a cement mixer, poor gave Vincent what's game doing trying to guard him in the post? Why is that happening? He's getting

outplayed by bam. Garbage games. Stugats is auditioning, Skip. Done, Libertard. Ha, ha, could I interest any of you in an opportunity to make money where I buy some calling cards and I sell them to you and then you get three friends and then you're making money off the ones they sell. Ha, ha, Amah. Stugats. And he's tanked to another man.

The more friends, the more you make friends. Amirah. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. I'm a little worried about Stugats in general, not just because he insists on doubling down on the worst and best take I've ever heard. But also Stugots a little bit rattled I would say. Uncomfortable maybe. Rattled makes it sound like he ever loses confidence. He does not. But he does seem to be bothered by Mike Wilbons coming through here. There is a sign that says Mike Wilbons is not to sit in Stugat's seat.

And he was mad at me because he comes in here today and he said something that caught me off guard smells like Mike Brin and here. Sure does. I know that scent anywhere. Describe it. He smells great. I mean, woo, it smells good in here. It smells like the lead voice of the NBA.

It does. I mean, Mike Breene looks like he smells good, right? And I could still smell the cologne in my seat right now. What's this cologne called, bang? Yeah. Well, was he there? Does it just smell like it? It just smells like brain in here. I mean...

No, he was here. Of course, to God's has a bit of a hound dog smell when it comes to this. I knew it. Brain was here yesterday. Mm-hmm. And... I don't want Wilbond in my seat. I know he's coming through here. I think he's coming through here tomorrow.

I am telling you right now, Dan. We don't have a good history. Wilbond, for whatever reason. And I respect Michael, and I have enjoyed Michael's work over time, okay? I think he's great. He jumped the shark a bit when, you know, the journalist,

Warri Chicago Cubs, Jersey, while covering the World Series for ESPN, but we digress. Tucked it into his pants to throw a first pitch. James High, ladies and gentlemen. They look for a journalist. Oh man. Yep.

But Wilbon has never been nice to me. Doesn't like me, doesn't respect me. Doesn't like the fact that he and I landed at the same place and he didn't feel like I was qualified. You didn't land at the same place. Well, I mean, we landed at the same company. Okay, that's all I'm saying. That's a place, that's fair.

But here's the real thing, okay. I went and, you know, Lorenzo, who was one of our old TV producers here, what I went to DC to call the final four, I don't know, I want to say 2019, I did around the horn. And then Lorenzo was nice enough to take me down stairs to the PTI studios and I sat in Wilbond's chair. and word got back to me that Wilbond was very upset about that did not want me sitting in his chair. Okay, forget about the fact that Northwestern, where Michael went to school, just won a national championship, Women's LaCrosse.

Michael did not feel the need to reach out to me and congratulate me, even though I know he supports that team. Okay, same with you, Greene, by the way, not that I'm keep track, but I thought Greene was a friend. Wilbond, I know he supports that team. Okay, same with you, Greeney, by the way, not that I'm keep a track, but I thought Greeney was a friend. Wilbond, I knew he wasn't. Therefore, Wilbond did not want me sitting in his seat. And you know what, this is my seat. And so when Michael comes through here,

he does not sit in my seat, Dan. You do not let him sit in my seat. I have a sign, okay? And I will put it on the seat, but you need to enforce it because I won't be here Well bond wrong Michael why bond will not Unfortunate he spells seat No

No see dubs I'm with Sugots. Wilbond can't sit in that seat. You can't. We got to defend our boy. Yeah. Dan, you got to pick a side here, obviously. You're playing both shards.

Well, I will, we'll keep it in the air, the pettiness in the air. And at some point, I will pick a side because I'm guessing that's where video would put in because that's where all the people who come in here sit in Stugatzi. I come up with a plan B video. He's not the only person that has beef with Wilbon.

I have beef with Wilbon because of his beef with Stugatzi and also I took care of Michael Wilbon at Chelsea. I gave him a great tour. You got to meet Christian Policic. That was all me that got that done. Naria. Thank you. Nothing nothing That was all me that got that done. Naria, thank you. Wow. Nothing. Nothing. Entitled. But it is entirely possible that Charlie Hume just took credit for all of it. But it's a time to just do nice things to do nice things, Ernie. Who does that? I'm gonna say men.

I'm gonna say men. Men are so emotional. My goodness, you need thank yous. You need credit. It's just, you know, Michael Will bond by himself and didn't have enough cash to get that done. I had to help up. You know know like I stepped up to the plate I helped the guy out even though he was beef on with Sue got no thank you seat up

You don't find it petty that he got mad now. He doesn't know that I know but I know that he got mad Then I sat in his B.T. I see you know no definitely petty I'm with you. I'm with you suit what the the most insulting thing I think would be if you put the sign on your chair and he sat on the sign He will not Michael Y-Bahn is the one who's prohibited Yes, you do like that he calls you Danny. I also don't like that. I love that That's actually that's actually a point of my book for will bomb because he's the only one this book It's it's you him calling you Danny I'll give back.

Don't go to him on the flight. Yeah. See, this is not Billy. This is not supportive. How so? Don't go to him on the fly. I'm trying to help you out. I'm trying to help everybody out here.

We're live. Well, that might be. We're not supposed to show people the innards of the show. Don't go to him on the spot. Dick, it only go to him on the fly when we're live Out of here man, I'm trying to help you I was that helpful. I'm trying to keep the show moving We'd still be here. Keep it moving All this time he's still has a million is book be a supportive teammate He's holding your back toning. He's I'm trying to tell you down. He's intent on holding you back

Look at him storming off here. He's not he's not your friend, Tony. He's tricking you into thinking that so that he can undermine you with every turn What is he doing? He's coming here. Oh, he wants to go to Mars. He's got a Mars He's coming here. Oh, he wants to go to Mars. He's got a Mars. He's on Mars. He's always winning. He got jealous of Chris Cody being able to float around with his dad on Mars on the bleeping green screens. So now he's going to go do comedy over there. He's going to show you how it's done when you go to him on the fly. On an asshole. There's a meeting on Mars apparently.

No, who is in there? No, I'm so tired of video getting in the way of what we're doing live now. That's our video. That's Admin. All right, kick everyone out. What? Our guest we can kick. Kick the guest.

We're doing show. Lessons we bon. Can you go in during the meeting and just do the green screen in the meeting goes on a lot of Wars it's a lot not on the door every key outside knock on the door we need man This isn't admins building the show needs to be done first. I mean it is kind of admins building They signed off on the deals what if Billy puts the visor of the helmet down then it's like he's in another room Billy go ahead get in the room you've got five minutes were on live television I want the video room to execute something other than Lewis being banned from our

party tonight. That was so mean. Is that the meaning that they're having in there trying to decide who gets to be in VIP? The seven people who are going to be allowed in VIP not Lewis. I know who won't be in loud in VIP. Roy Bellamy and Christopher Cody because he allows 11 to 0. Back to you, Danny. Stunning that you would lose that poorly.

You had the alleged best athlete on the show in Chris Cody. And Roy and you, you lost to Juju and Jessica, you couldn't list. Well, I don't know my own strength there, Dan. It's not like it's a tennis court. It's a small game. Yeah. Roy was playing a different sport altogether. He was playing tennis while everybody else was playing pickleball. And Dan, I've never played pickleball. I was on the sidelines just in case anybody got hurt. I was there to fill in.

Roy was taking hacks that hit the back wall like consistently. And I was like, I don't think that's how you play. It's a game of touch. Yeah. Yeah. I was getting bass hits out there, man. It's laser show. game of touch. Yeah. Yeah. I was getting bass hits out there, man. It's laser show. Put it on the pole, please. At Levitade show, juju, can you describe your sports performance as a laser show when you've lost 11 to nothing? Yeah. No. Just really inaccurate lasers. Yeah. I mean, just ridiculous that your game plan in Pickleball would be, let me see how I could not get a prize of VIP by just sending rockets here and not competing, because I just want to show people that I once hit a batting practice home run at Marlon's Park.

Well, listen, Dan, like, I try to use in touch, and it didn't reach net. So I try to hit it normally. It went past the court. I don't know what to tell you. I'm not a Pickleball guy. Mm-hmm. Regardless, 11-nothing was the court. I don't know what to tell you. I'm not a pick a ball guy Regardless 11 nothing was the score. You should be embarrassed by that. I am You should be embarrassed by the way your hockey team has played through first first two game Mike I have a face at me. You can't look man very proud of our games are closed the hockey this time of year

Game one was it's all about the last four periods. That's fine. You could the last time you felt you was shouting. Game two was their game. It's certainly most certainly their game. You game one for two periods. You haven't felt better at any point when when duty play Austin, not to play equalized. Well at the end of the second period Vegas goes silent. You equalized. Well, and the second period Vegas goes silent. You go in. You go into the third period in a silent Vegas.

Oh, wow, that happened to Claire. It's tied the game. And then the out you don't have the hot goalie anymore. No, and Hill is man. I what is the NHL do this deal with the salary cap where they have salary cap rules, but

during the playoffs, and there's no salary cap because Vegas just like like Tampa Bay before them, is about $10 million over the salary cap. And their depth is absolutely crushing Florida right now. You see that fourth line. Biz called it perhaps the greatest fourth line in the NHL right now. It's hard to argue for they started it one playoff game. The fourth line. Yeah.

Florida's defense in terms of individual defenders. They're barely NHL level. They're in time. These are not my words. These are experts. I'm not going to call Goose off forcelling a subpar defender. He battles. They're grinders. They're in the sport where we talk to molar. Yeah, but they don't grind enough to actually limit shots. For Florida to get as far as they did They needed exactly what they got from Sergei Pobrovsky which surprised Everyone there wasn't anyone by the time year three on Sergei Pobrovsky came around down here in Florida despite his two-time Vesana trophy winning resume no one thought Pobrovsky had that in them anymore and he did it to the tune of

one thought Bbrowski had that in him anymore. And he did it to the tune of saving 19 goals over expected. In a four game series, it's absolutely bonkers. Okay, we allow too many shots. If Sergei's not gonna stop 90% of them, they're toast. He needs to find his form. Because if you're getting out goal lead, you are not winning a series. We have found that out with Florida over these last three years,

and they're gonna need to find something. They're gonna need to get in front of the goal. We've been screening our own goalie. We got to screen theirs. They got to do what brought them to the race, and that's just annoyed them. And hopefully, if while we're annoying them, and we get cross checked into the net,

and then slashed by the goalie, they'll call it penalty. What a terrible game plan to go into a series playoff hockey. Well, but you're not just overmatched. That's playoff hockey. You're not you want to win playoff hockey. You get in front of the net and you make a damn goal happen at a nowhere. Yep. Well, then I'm not then I can even get in shots in the morning. We're not we're not putting in the pocket in deep. We're not playing Panther hockey. Sounds like the panthers need to find 10 million more dollars It's so easy. Oh, by the way Lionel Messi's coming. Oh, yeah, that's right to the panthers. Is he? Has the new plenty of reputable outlets in Argentina reporting this is so when

Messi's coming to Miami that he would appear that I was right all along. More at the inside of my life.
