Like that's part of being a fan The real fans don't just come in and when things get tough They put on all their Panthers gear for a second day in a row Panthers hat Panthers shirt They forget about the heat the real fans

He's caught me there.

The last couple of days, Billy has really cornered you on stuff. What you saw about Zaslow? I didn't say any names. If you're feeling that this is about you, maybe that's a guilty conscience situation. I don't see it that way. Maybe you're self-snitching here. I didn't say you. Is you're if you're if you're feeling that this is about you Maybe that's a guilty conscience situation. Maybe yourself snitching here. I didn't say you is it you was that you don't see it that way I'm allowed to like more than one team here in South Florida Let's let's only good let's call Mike. I want to call my dad

I'm worried about calling an old man this early in the morning and you midday for him, you know No, you know my father. Come on, my father, like my mom has been complaining nonstop that all he does is sleep in retirement. Like we're sure to be waking him up. Go ahead and call him. Hello? Papi. Tell me. Papi. Yeah. Oh. What happened? Papi.

I'm still recuperating. Papi, what a shit. No. I tell you one thing. I wasn't expecting that kind of performance. Losing at home by 40 points and 60 points, that got to be a record. It is a record.

They are in the record books. They got to be a record. They are in the record books. Poppy, what happened? I don't know. It looked like he was shell-shocked. Did he have a press conference after the game or he just left the arena running on fire? No, he had a press conference. He said he was embarrassed. He said he was embarrassed? Yeah, that was embarrassing, Bobby. It's humiliating. He has the best gig in the NBA. Are you kidding me? Why? $18 million for six months of work? That's

a hell of a deal. Bobby, he's very good at what he does. He's very good at what he does, Bobby. Is he really? I don't know. Bobby. I guess, I guess you are the expert. You know, I'm just a fan. I mean, I just sit on the stands and I just watch the performance. He looked to me that he was short, short on the sideline. Yes.

Oh yes. That was an embarrassing season, Papi. You were caught on the jumbotron eating. Did anyone tell you that? Well, no, I always, I'm always eating. So that's not the big deal. I mean, you got to tell me something that I don't know. I knew that when they put me on TV, I'm always eating. What can I tell you? So no embarrassment about that? Like that they caught you with your fingers in your mouth? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's okay. That's okay. No embarrassing. That's my go to move. Whenever I'm a little bit nervous, I begin to eat. Do you see hero? He had a hell of a series and so I devalue. You made him Hispanic.

Devalue? No. That's his last name. That's how you pronounce his last name. Who are you mad at? Oh, yeah. Who are you? Man, oh, yeah, who are you man? They have that they had that pick and roll play they use that play the The Cavaliers use that played about 50 times during the playoff against the Heat, you know The 50th is a good role with the it's a good play the pick and roll. Yeah Well, they they couldn't stop them. I kept using the play. I'm sitting there and said,

you gotta stick your foot out or do something, kick the ball, you know? Yeah, something. Yeah, yeah, it's true. It's true, you do have to do something. You have to stop them from doing that. You gotta do something, man. You know, I'm in time at the time with the same guy,

whoever number 31 was, you know. He mean time after time with the same guy, whoever number 31 was, you know, he was a major pick and roll. And Esposra was sitting, was on the sidelines. I couldn't believe Esposra, you know, you got a dozen to stick their leg out. Alright, Poppy, what are you going to do? Mom said that she was thinking about not renewing the season ticket and then she told me about not renewing the season tickets and And then she told me she is renewing the season tickets, but she doesn't like going with you anymore because you're complaining too much No, I don't complain. I just watched the game. I never I never complained. I just watched the game I tell you one thing I couldn't believe that that show shocking after that show shocking, you know You begin to wonder say what the hell is going on? Did you just get up from the couch or something?

There was a sound made there that I didn't recognize. Did you just get up from the couch stretch? No, I was laying on bed, you know, I was recuperate From the loss a couple of days ago. Yes, so what? I was I was I was you know, I couldn't sleep. I haven't slept for about three days. Okay Well, the game was less than three days ago So you were not sleeping before the game and then it was a very it was a very embarrassing weekend. Oh I even me Gary's only this guy's itself. He was wearing a fake mustache, sunglasses, and weak, the whole ball of wax.

That's not true in any way, Bobby. There's not a ball of wax, and Mickey Harrison did not leave the arena wearing a mustache. Mickey was Croucho Marx. And a car. I'm telling you, I'm telling you. I saw him.

I saw him. You didn't see him? Are you gonna claim the user? I thought Are you going to claim the USA? I thought he was going to be warheads. I saw that on the show. Dad, you did not see Mickey Harrison. You're not reporting the USA. I did not see him. He was in Swindon. What was he doing throughout that? My father's reporting that Mickey Harrison left the arena in a wig and a mustache and sunglasses. That's an official LeBotard report.

Put it on the crawl! Put it on the crawl! My father is reporting officially to the country with the LeBvitard stamp on it that he saw Mickey Harrison leaving the arena the other night in a mustache, a wig, and sunglasses. Like a ball of wax. Investigative reporting. What happened to your timing with Amin there, Zaz? Eh, could be better reps, you know?

They've never worked together before. Yeah, first time this group works together. Zazlo came in with some of his radiest attire. I asked him to bring in the three worst things from his closet that his wife hates the most because they're the oldest thing. I think I brought in some good ones, but when I told my wife yesterday,

Dan wants me to bring in the clothes you hate washing, you know, because I keep bringing them. She goes, we've given so many away to goodwill, you know? Yes, over the years, yes, yes. But that's the only reason they're leaving the house. She's giving so many away to Goodwill, you know, so. Over the years, yes, yes. But that's the only reason they're leaving the house. She's giving so many of, it's not a we are giving those away, you would never give those away. No, no.

Those would keep stacking up in all of the closets of your house. These are important artifacts, okay. That have gone to Goodwill. Yes, Goodwill, South Asian Army. Because your wife doesn't want them in the house anymore and would set them on bonfire in the back of the house if she could. She, I can't even describe, I don't know, like you guys are married over there on the

other side, I don't know, do you have this experience? I come home, I was on the Miami Heat broadcast, radio broadcast for 12 years, so every single time they had a shirt on the chair, I'm always bringing a shirt home. And my wife gets so mad at me. Can we guess which ones they are from the great years that they would give the stuff away? There's gotta be a white W shirt where it's like they would spell like white hot

so it would put like W-H-I-T-E. There's like one white W shirt. Let's do the entirety of this though. How many shirts, what have you brought in? I've brought in three. It's all T-shirts. And my hypothesis is it started with me saying that I think he's got Shirts in his closet that are older than Greg Cody and while I'm joking about that

I do believe there's the possibility that he unleashes something from 1988 in here like I I believe that I mean That was seven years old Why would I hold on to that? in here, like I believe that that, you know. I mean, I was seven years old. Why would I hold onto that? Because you're that weird. It's gonna fit my arm. Well, because if not for your wife, you would have every shirt you'd collected since that age.

She hates it, she hates it. She sent all of this stuff out of the house. I'm like, why, I look good in this, come on. What is the oldest article clothing everyone has? Cause the oldest thing I have, I have a t-shirt from high school senior year from track team. I don't wear it, but I still have it.

I won't throw it away. I have a dare shirt. Whoa. And it still fits oddly enough. I don't remember when I got it, but it's one of those dare shirts that looks like I got it in elementary school. I have a 2003 Marlins World Series champion shirt that is ripped apart at the seams at this point, but it's still there. I mean, it in elementary school. I have a 2003 Marlins World Series Champion shirt

that is ripped apart at the seams at this point, but it's still there. I mean, it doesn't fit. I was eight years old when I bought it, but. I have a, I think I got you guys beat. I have a Glen Rice Charlotte Hornets jersey. But a retro one that they redid? Or like an original OG one?

That I bought when the Heat traded him to the Charlotte Hornets. I gotcha beat, because I have an Anthony Mason Knicks jersey. Wow! Yeah. This is a memorabilia off! I've gotcha beat Anthony Mason does indeed trump Glenn Rice, but not by much.

Both pathetic. Rest in peace. Come on. Billy, the oldest garment in your home from Marlin's shirts given away at stadiums? I have a, I mean, I have a lot. I have like them folded and I have them like at the top of the closet, like this is like

a do not wear section just because they're old and like ratty, but I don't know why I haven't gotten rid of them. I've actually like recently come to terms with I'm probably gonna have to get rid of these for some reason. And I don't know the reason other than it's just so crowded. And my wife I think throws away some of my things without me knowing.

Cause like I'll come home and I can't find things. And after about like a week of not finding things, we have like a good system going right? Where like sometimes her mother will like say like, oh you know let me help things, we have a good system going, right? Where sometimes her mother will say, oh, let me help out, I'll take some laundry, I'll go do it at my house, I'll bring it back. So there's always an excuse of maybe it's at my mom's house, maybe it's here, so there's always this whole thing

of maybe it's in another one of the houses, and after about a month of not seeing something, I know what's up. I know my wife got rid of some of my stuff, and she's just not telling me. How much of this is going on around here? Because Chris Cody, I am guessing your wife has got a t-shirt cannon that she is just blowing things

out of the house like a leaf blower with because you've got so much crap she doesn't want in the house because you're your father's son. She's often telling me I need to go through my clothes. Maybe she is doing stuff and I'm just unaware of it. That's the move. But like once a week I get the, you need to go through my clothes. Maybe she is doing stuff and I'm just unaware of it. That's the move. But like once a week I get the,

you really gotta go through your clothes. The thing is like, I've now realized that this is a problem. Like I can go back to 97 on some Marlin stuff if I wanted to, like 97 championship gear. In the corner, wait, but is there a do not touch, excuse me, is there a do not touch, that's the- Well she's short so I just put it higher than she can reach. You know what I mean?

Like it's off in the top corner of the shelf and then there's like shoes and other things in the way. She's gonna have to get a step stool and get it in there. There's not enough room. I have a hat rack. She can't get to it. I just put it where she can't get to it and then she can't get rid of it

because I know she's getting rid of stuff. I have like a Marlins. It's actually really cool. They have them out now and I wish that I had grown earlier than I did because in 97 I was 10 years old. So I was little and I I wish that I had grown earlier than I did, because in 97, I was 10 years old, so I was little and I grew late, I had a late growth spurt, I grew junior year.

Kids always wanna be bigger. My first license, Zaz, said that I was five foot three. So I was at 21 years old going around with my license, saying I was five foot three, and everyone assumed it was a fake ID. But you're tall now! I know, I had a growth spurt junior year, five three is what it said on my license.

Cause that's when I got it, like freshman, sophomore year, whatever. I have a starter jacket that I got from Santa Claus that they wore like in the dugout when they were in Cleveland in the cold with like the blue sleeves and the black and like the teal letters, but it's an adult small. So it doesn't fit me.

So I told my wife, that's yours if you wanna wear this. You know what I mean? What's this? Wow, Billy Wednesday. It's his business. Wow, Billy Wednesday. Wow, Billy Wednesday, wow, Billy Wednesday, wow, Billy Wednesday, wow, Billy Wednesday.

Whoa, did I get shot? What was that about? Seems disruptive. What just happened there? Wow, Billy Wednesday. Yeah, you mentioned that. Who is that? I don't know what that was,

but it's a lesser voice than all the other ones that we've paid for professionally around here that are better than that one. Can I ask you a question, Dan, that I was thinking about when your dad was talking, because it seems like this is causing marital strife. It's an answer. Well, this is, look, I don't know what's happening

with my parents and these tickets, but I will say to you that the Heat streak is in jeopardy next season, because they've been selling out the place for a long time. And the big story from last night, I think if we're going to be transaction heavy, is Giannis producing that game, and losing and being eliminated by a pacer's

team that doesn't have a player as good as him and that is a structural problem management problem not able to keep a champion around him problem and he's been passed in a way that his excellence the windows closing on his excellence this is that this is not this is the back end of his prime is it not it's not i'm not even saying... I'm knowing that statistically, you're looking at somebody who's looking as good as he's ever been, but there has to be a descent from here, correct? I mean, that's what you said about Brady, and then he won two Super Bowls, right?

Like, he's having his best statistical season ever. Okay, I'm not saying he's not great. Not my intention. My point is, as great as he is, he can't be losing in the first round that Doesn't lose in the first round when it's that great. That's a structural issue. He's lost to he okay He's missed playoff games. He has lost ten of his last 11 Playoff games like that's pretty nuts for a player as great as he is Can't win a playoff game. Well. He a playoff game but the stats. That's what I said he can't win a playoff game. But he did win a playoff game. Where do we come up

with a? He likes doing that as. What? Was it him? Was it Mike Ryan? I don't know. Was it we? No Mike Ryan stole that from Zaslow. That is a Zaslow original. That is not. I've learned this show has stolen some stuff. That is not, Mike Ryan won't claim, I think Whittingham stole it from Zaslow too. That should be a patented catchphrase. That should be copyrighted by Zaslow. Anyone else in the market has stolen it. There's no better way to emphasize

something happening one time. It's the best. Try doing it a better way. You can't. Okay, but his point is that Yanis in the last three seasons of playoff games has won a Playoff games and his numbers statistically are all start with a 30 on the points like on average That doesn't make any sense and and last night

He's out there at the end and they gagged it away like Like they gagged away the season. The same way they gagged away the season against Jimmy Butler that led to just perpetual descent from this team from the championship helm. I mean, Doc Rivers after the game was impressed with that meltdown. My God. He's got a point. I mean, you gotta be good enough to be up that big

in order to blow it. Exactly. If I was good I'd be like the heat. I'd be down 60. The season ticket with the Miami Heat. Yeah, back to your parents marital strife. So here's my question is, let's say, and Dan, I hope this doesn't happen for you,

even though it could lead to two Christmases, but let's say your parents get divorced in their 70s, 80s, whatever it is. Wow, that would be shocking. Let's say they get divorced as a result of the Heat because your father now has become someone that your mother Doesn't like being around at heat games because he's always complaining or whatever. Let's say they get divorced Do you hold that against your beloved Miami Heat and Pat Riley and Mickey Harrison? Like do you guys say you guys?

Broke apart my family you ended my parents marriage after 50 years I will no longer report your ice cream stories for you. How do you handle this situation? Thank you, Wild Willy, for asking me that question. And in that particular case, I would have to side with my mother and her lover because she run off to be happier with someone who wasn't complaining about the heat all the time for 15 years.

Wait, hold on, is your mom having an affair? Like what's happening? Your mom has a lover or doesn't have's, well, is she, is LeBron having an affair? Like, what's happening? Is LeBron has a lover or does he have a lover? No, I'm not alleging my mother is having an affair. I'm saying, look, this is what I'm saying. My mother has said this, okay? There's my father who was on television and that person is Poppy and she said

she would love to have an affair with that man. That was never the man who came home. The man who came home was always firing Spolster, complaining about Shaq for missing free throws, saying LeBron wasn't good enough. Behind the scenes, my father was just complaining about the Heat for 15 years. A real fan.

Tell you what, he's not wearing Panthers gear today. I mean, like, why am I taking shots? I didn't say you. For supporting the greatest hockey team in the land. Welcome to the show. No one said you. Hey, listeners, it's Mike Ryan, and if you've listened to this show for 20 years, you know one action movie franchise that I believe stands head and shoulders above the rest. That's right, the Mission Impossible series is one of the few franchises that gets better

and better, consistently raising the bar with set pieces, story, location, and character. This is a franchise that I've argued in the past should have won the best picture award. Tom Cruise consistently is upping himself and raising that bar with each Mission Impossible film as the real, practical stunts continue to push the envelope in new record setting ways. Tom's passion for entertaining audiences has him, along with a dedicated cast and crew, pulling out all the stops to deliver the most thrilling, unbelievable feats yet. I simply cannot wait for this film. Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning in theaters May 23rd 3rd. She has her favorite instructors. I listen to the music. I'm a big music guy gets me fired up makes me want to take part in

I don't wanna mention names, TNT, ESPN, you know, oh yeah, they're dead. They can not, they're not going to make it, you know, even if they win in, if they lose it in Miami. I need to calm you down. I need to calm you down. That's right. If they lose in Miami, they don't get a chance in Boston. Oh, they are going to have their ass, you know what, in Boston.

Stugats. They were wrong. Are they going to lose a job? No. Are they going to get a cutting pay? No. What are they going to do? Keep predicting what is the obvious.

They are going to say, oh, the Nuggets are going to win. Oh, Denver, the altitude. And you know what? The Heat are going to win, oh, the Nuggets are going to win, oh, Denver, the altitude. And you know what? The Heat are going to win it all. This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats. I want to talk about things you can do in 11 seconds in honor of that hockey game where the Panthers got quickest defenseman playoff goals in the history of the sport to really you know just change everything about that series. Set Jones my dog. In 11

seconds you mentioned that yesterday but before I do that can you just show me the first of the items that you have brought in from among your three old items from the closet? I'll go in like, you know. The bronze medalist, the weakest of the, but your wife is happy to have this of the house, she'd be happy if you left it in a dumpster here. She's hoping I leave it here. Yeah, a dumpster here, if she'd be fine with it.

You guys are all, Tony, you don't have this problem because you care about your style, right? Jeremy, you don't have this problem. I mean, have you had this problem where you have too much junk in your, well no. What do you mean you don't? It's an accusation, like what are you saying? That Tony has style so he lacks sentiment?

Forgive me. I do. I recognize this in a mirror, right? It's not even, I'm not even judging you. I too would have shit in my closet if my wife hadn't corrected this for me. Heat Family Festival 2016 it's a 90s throwback it's presented by carnival. I'll take that. Mickey Harrison,

carnival. Nine years that's nothing. Yes no that's yeah that's nine years that's the first of the items. I'm gonna call a little fraudulence because it's clearly been made to look like oh, it's all look It's weathered right, but it wasn't actually weathered That's how it came brand new looking like that And you would throw it in the garbage can now or you never would because you value you value it Oh feel how soft this is it's so comfortable. It is comfortable. What'd you think you were gonna get him come throw his stuff away today I just didn't know I if his wife had the choice if your wife said yes or no throw that away

She hates this shirt She would set fire to it. She hates this I have a question for you Zaz. What's the line in terms of like your wife? Like you have children obviously you have a family But like if she says we got to get rid of this one shirt, you're like, oh okay, we're not gonna ruin our marriage over one shirt, but like what is the number of shirt or Glen Rice memorabilia where you're like,

you know what, hit the road. Well stop right there, there is no piece of Glen Rice memorabilia or clothing that will ever leave this Aslan mansion. Okay, so I'm just saying like where's the line in terms of like, if the option is, and she's just fed up with this and she says, your clothes or me

that's the line. Glenn Rice? She knows we don't do ultimatums like that in my house. Okay good. You need to understand the gauntlet that has just been thrown down here publicly to his wife who does not like gauntlets thrown at her feet. Thank you Billy on a Wild Willy Wednesday for providing that. If you're willing to ask the question, I think you will get a straight answer. Who do you love more, Zaz, low Glen Rice or your wife? You don't need to answer, Zaz. Please don't answer that.

I think you want to, but you don't need to answer. Don't answer that question. As your lawyer, I'm gonna advise you not to answer. You probably know Glen longer. Why you trying to get me in trouble? Yeah. Do you remember what happened at my wedding? No. Where, okay, so at my wedding, so this is back 2007 and Dan's at my wedding and Dan

did a great thing, like he helped, he got the Miami Heat to put together a wedding video, okay, the players, you know, and it was really, really nice. And you were going to get Glenn Rice part of the video and you were gonna show it to me at the wedding. But your better judgment decided not to show me at the wedding because you thought that that was going to be what I was excited about instead of getting married on my wedding night.

I had the story going completely different when he said, remember what happened at my wedding? I thought Glen Rice showed up. Well, I think that was like in the, I think he thought about doing that as well and decided better of that. I'm not talking about showed up like, oh, Glen Rice is a guest.

I'm talking about Glen Rice showed up. And when the priest is like, does anyone have any? Rabbi. Yeah, you have an aficion and the rabbi, the priest, the aficion, you know, is asking, right before everybody exchanged, Jonathan, Jonathan's lovely wife-to-be, before we exchange these rings,

we wanna give anyone an opportunity to say their piece, to object to this wedding. Does anyone have any objections? I object! I object! I object! Jonathan Zaslow, I've never loved a fan more than I've loved you. Don't make a mistake, we'll both regret

for the rest of our lives. I would have left with Glenn. This is not what I expected. I'm very much looking forward to the reveal of these next two T-shirts. I do believe, I don't remember the specifics of the story, but I have a general recall of having the feeling that it would be bad judgment at Zaslo's wife's wedding day

to bring someone who Stands out over the wife physically in the room and in her husband's eyes I've been so excited like I could have in her husband's eyes I think was the greatest problem and so I have a general recall of thinking to myself I thought I feel like that was close to happening and then it was pulled back I don't like that that's sex happening and then it was pulled back. I don't like that, that's sexist. Saying that it has to be the wife's day. Why can't it be Zazzle's day too?

You know what I mean, it's his wedding also. I actually think what happened was I think you wanted to go forth with it and I think Boog Shambi talked sense into you that this, I think Boog said this is not a good idea. That makes way more sense. I think that's what happened. I think somebody, I would have made the mistake.

I would not have known to not make the mistake. I'm trying to figure out who my Glen Rice is, who I would want to show up at my wedding more than my wife. Dantrell Willis. That's a good one. I was thinking Miguel Cabrera. We were locked in.

I was thinking 03 Marlins. The first time I told my now wife that I love her, she thought I was talking to LeBron James because it was after an Eastern Conference playoff win over the Indiana Pacers in 2014, that last year he was here and things were looking desperate. And so I had been looking at my phone, talking about LeBron, seeing things on Twitter,

and then just because everything was so great and she made some sort of joke and I said I love you and she said quote are you talking to me or LeBron we're married now it is funny though that the idea that what elicited the first I love you was a storm of emotion that was brought about by LeBron James the Miami Heat and now I work on their broadcast and now they're worse than they've ever been Not ever they won championships No one has ever looked like they looked in those wait a minute. What is this guy doing? He's trying to ruin I'm asking for clarification. Yes, yes, right. Yes, okay, excellent. Just ask. My wife and I have never been better.

Okay, good. I wasn't asking, nobody was. Three marriages. Nobody was. Jeremy's only had one marriage. No, but you've been trying to attack three marriages today. No. Lourdes and Poppy, Zaslow and his wife.

No, falsehoods. Okay. Listen, I have said before, and this is a very unpopular take But I have been pro divorce like I've told you that like I've told you if you're in an unhappy marriage Why drag this out for eight years just get divorced now? I told you that I'm not I'm not like pro divorce And I think everyone should get divorced but like I'm pro happiness and like if you're unhappy Why are you gonna why you gonna drag it out?

You've got a couple of stances here though that are winners because it's not just that you're pro divorce You're also pro solitary confinement pro restrict me to my house solitary confinement What sense of the word just in a bathroom by yourself for a while when you've got a moment of peace? Or not like in a rubber room No, you know I get you know, I get, you know, my, I get a couple things I can get like a phone or a TV. I'm pro not being spoken to. I believe, yeah, I believe you've been,

in some forms I can accuse you of being pro isolation, pro pandemic, pro solitary confinement. Oh, I was the happiest I ever was during the pandemic. Pro imprisoned in your own home. And that's not a prison. I mean, the prison is in my mind, if I'm gonna be honest with you. That's the prison prison. I mean, the prison is in my mind, if I'm going to be honest with you. That's the prison that I'm stuck in is the one in my mind.

I don't see what, like, I'm just asking questions here about, you know, these are normal questions that anyone asks. Yeah, but you're asking them of all the married people. And, uh, that's not true. I haven't asked Chris to get a divorce. Not yet. Or Tony. Tony just had a kid. We're just in the local hour. It's early. Give you time.

Wild Willy Wednesday just started. You've come after everybody. I haven't asked for anyone to get a divorce. You said that your parents were having marital strife because of the heat. You brought that into my life. And I asked who you would say. You started with my parents. No. No. That's who you started. You started by divorcing my parents after. Falsehood. Falsehood. It's not a falsehood. No, no. Pat Riley's ineptitude has brought this into your family. The fact that they have put together a terrible roster brought this into your family.

The fact that they made your father miserable and then have him behaving miserably around your mother may lead to a divorce, and I'm asking, who do you side with? Who's the real culprit of that divorce? Is it Papi, or is it the heat for bringing him to that point? That's a fair question.

I'm just asking, should that happen, who you side with? With Zazz, I think it's a very normal conversation. Like we've had this conversation too, where I said flat out, my wife throws away my things. I'm convinced of this, and the only way I can protect things is by putting them where she can't reach them. And knowing that he's bringing in things today that you, Dan Leventhal, are trying to have him throw away.

Prize possessions of his, that you're having him try to throw away. You asked me to put in the trash can. No, that's not what I said. No, I said his wife would put them in the trash can. Did he ask you to throw them in the trash can? No, he implied that my wife would like me to throw them in the trash can. Thank you. Tomato potato. Okay, you are a bit unruly for the first hour.'ll go you know I know I don't want you know I don't know why Willie Wednesday doesn't get kicked out like We're celebrating don't set that precedent. Do not set that precedent dance Darn it if we're committing to Wild Willie Wednesday We all have to take the consequences of that wherever it is that we end up. That's gonna get flagged a thousand percent We've done it 800 times.

Who owns that sound? That's public domain. That's public domain. Oh, don't think so. We test things now, Billy. That's gotta be 99 years old past that, right? This is 100 years old? That sound's been tested.

That is a, we didn't really finish the sounds tournament, but that was an iconic top 50 all time sound of all sounds produced anywhere. Would anyone disagree with that? I know that Clay Thompson wants to be top 75 and Scottie Pippen doesn't like anyone who puts him outside the top 50, but if I put that sound in the top 50 of sounds of all time, does anyone argue with me? Top 50? No, it's definitely top 50. Yeah, that's definitely top 50. Now, is it top 25? Like now? Now? In the top 10? Oh, it gets dicey.

But no one's disputing that it's top 50. Top 50 easily, comfortably in the top 50. Top 50. So one of the greatest ever made. It's a good sound. Absolutely. It's, you know how it's great, Dan. It's great because people don't even know where it's from That's that that's a true sign of greatness when they don't even know where it's from they just know the sound What is it the good bad and the ugly is it's a Western? I think it's the good bad and the ugly but it's it's like uh, it's like the the scene in American gangster where Denzel's

Explaining to Cuba Gooding jr. Who I met the other night Whoa? Hold on a second, I'm sorry. All right. Look at me be real. Okay, all right. All right. So Denzel Washington is explaining Cuba Gooding Jr. how his character is a drug dealer

who's cutting his drugs and then putting the same label as Denzel Washington's character. And he's like, you can't do that. He said, like Blue Magic, that's a brand name. Like Pepsi, that's a brand name. The people don't know me any better than they know the chairman of General Mills, right? Like the idea is that it doesn't even matter

where it came from, all that matters is that they know it. And that sound right there, they know it. I wanna get into a couple of things I mean with you about what happened last night. Halliburton's dad, this plague of dads in the NBA who are living vicariously through their kids. The Pacers are really fun. I'd be curious whether you think Halliburton or Siakam

is their best player. I like both of them a great deal. I or Siakam is their best player. I like both of them a great deal. I think Siakam is underrated, and I think it's insulting to say to Halliburton that he's the most overrated player in the league. But that's a fun team that knocked Giannis out, and now Milwaukee is in disarray. And it ends with Giannis confronting a dad

who has crossed the line. Well, he didn't confront him. Giannis was literally just standing there, and the dad runs onto the court and tries to make it about him. And I think that's the part that I gotta applaud Giannis for having a lot of restraint because he couldn't, as he said in his post-game press conference,

I didn't know who it was. I thought it was a fan running onto the court. And so this is one of those times where I'm not even gonna blame John Halliburton, Tyrese's dad. I'm gonna blame security. Yo, I don't care whose dad it is. Like you can't have people running onto the court who are not allowed to be on the court.

Whoa, you can't blame security and not the dad there. Absolutely blame security, that's your job. I mean. His job is to be dad. No, no. Connington is the only one playing security right now. I mean, how does a player I'm with Amin a little bit here Look at let's play the video again. There's a pie chart of blame Look look at look at this because this is the angle right look how long it takes for someone anyone to be like John Come on, let's go. Let's get out of here. Nobody not Pacers team security not the arena security got no video of it. There's a camera guy

How is the first person who gets there kind of player for the from the other team? I'm not arguing Security did its job well Time or I'm arguing you cannot have an adult human being who is the father of an NBA player? Being such a child that he feels comfortable standing in front of a 6'10 giant feeling like he can talk to him disrespectfully when he's steaming because he's a champion and his franchise has just fallen apart and the game ended that way.

If Yannis had head-butted that man, Yannis would have been in trouble and I would have been like, I understand that Yannis is really frustrated right now and nobody needs to be around him. I mean, I don't know, I'm just going to say like, would he have been in trouble? A fan on the court like that, it's trespassing. And maybe Yannis, he doesn't know who that is. That situation could have been so different. I would not have blamed Yannis at all if he had pushed that old man seven rows deep. I'm not kidding you.

A seven rows deep into all those people. And all those people fell like bowling pins. Okay, now I wanna imagine if Giannis shoved any one of us as hard as he could, what would happen? What would be the repercussion? I'd probably be dead. Just a shove. Not even like, not a punch.

Are we expecting it? Do we get to take a defensive stance? Like that matters. would be the repercussions. I'd probably be dead. Just a shove. Not even like, not a punch. Just one of- Are we expecting it? Do we get to take a defensive stance? Like that matters? Sure, how about that? Sure. You think a player's strong enough to do what he physically did when he was the only player

the Pacers were worried about last night? A player, by the way, that every franchise in the league should want to trade everyone for. Like there are five like that on Earth. Just not BAM, BAM, say it. You want to have one of them. If you want me to be honest though, on Pops Halliburton, he stood on business.

He stood on business. I will say that, OK? He shouldn't have been on the court. He shouldn't have been taunting Giannis. But when Giannis walks up to you, and he walks up, and basically goes nose to nose with Giannis, if you have sans context of what's going on there, you're like, what is hap? What are they going nose to nose for?annis. If you have Sans context of what's going on there, you're like, what is Happ,

what are they going nose to nose for? He stood on business, Dan. Dan, I'm gonna tell you right now, what do players always like to say? Oh, you're so tough on your keyboard, but you don't say nothing when I'm in front of you or whatever, you guys would probably all run away. John Halburn said, I'm right here, buddy.

Head to head? Nose to nose. Ooh, he's ready. That guy was ready. Here's the part that is the weirdest to me about that situation. Obviously, it's ridiculous behavior from the father, but the father's super excited. His son was amazing, had the game-winning basket.

When you're watching your son perform like that, and it's maybe the biggest win of his career at that point, wouldn't you run over to celebrate with your son? Wouldn't that be the first thing you think of as opposed to I'm gonna taunt that guy or I wanna go celebrate with my son who's standing on the scores table, posing for the crowd?

Don't legislate his joy, man. This is his joy. His joy is talking shit to the opponent. That's his joy, that's where he finds his happy spot again Should have done it John Halliburton shame on you, but you don't you don't get on the floor But once you're past that line, then we're here already All right Halliburton did that to Yannis at the end of the game did it at the rim

I don't think a Pacer has done that since Paul George against LeBron like you don't get those shots at the rim at the end of games. Like that's a breakdown in Milwaukee that will have Doc Rivers confused for the remainder of the off season. Me and Tony were watching the play again, he crossed the shit out of me, Yanis. Like that's nasty. Yanis, one of the greatest defensive players on the planet,

he crossed the shit out of me. So, and afterwards said on Twitter, because he doesn't mind being a villain, overrate that, because I understand how happy the haliburt ins were and i also would understand backed by tony who's saying dad stood on business if dad was then not standing on business kajanis and grabbed him by the ankles and not unlike a discus throwers spun around and through that old man ninety rows deep like he deserved to be thrown because I don't care how happy he is for his son

You don't go after the 610 giant on the other team who just had the franchise collapse on his neck I like the idea of there's a big commotion in the crowd after the game while the Pacers were celebrate It's going on over there. Oh, yeah, honest through Yannis frisbee Halliburton's old man into the popcorn. I like the discus or the shot put because there's a little spin to it in my mind. I can hear the cartoon sound effect.

You know what, forgive me. It's neither the discus nor the shot put. It's the hammer throw. I have Janice spinning around from mid court and launching something further than a t-shirt cannon does and what is it it's Halliburton's old man I don't think you can throw John Halliburton I gotta tell you that seems like a guy you don't want to get in a fight with like I don't know that I would take Yannis if they had an actual fight Wow what are you guys talking

about dad stood on business hold on Dan hold on that would you have gotten those closed yeah what's happening? Dan let me follow Billy down this path You ever been like walking and there's a pigeon and you're like that and the pigeon doesn't fly. Yeah, you're like what's up with this pigeon? What is this pigeon been through that is like why are you going back to pigeon? Oh cuz you know, I like to make a 100 John Halliburton's versus the gorilla 100 on how burns what I think you should flip it on the girl's versus one John Helber Burton heads rolling Papa Halliburton's and I get bowling pins the girl is just rolling a hundred heads down the street

idiot heads the cut in its face
