Draft Kings, the crown is yours. We will get to Greg Cody's two catchphrases. We will get to A.J. Brown and Miles Garrett, but first, it's our senior Knicks correspondent. It's been too long since we've had him on. He should be running

victory laps. He should be gloating. He saw this coming from miles away, but everyone rolls their eyes around here when they see him. Do I have this right? He's a great comedian. I love listening to him, but there's something about him that he comes on here, and what does

he do? Does he upset you guys because he can be a little acidic, or does he upset you just because he's a Knicks fan? Yeah, he's all right. I think the issue why we haven't had him on is because you went on his podcast and then talked about all your Knicks takes over there. Yeah, being such a big Knicks fan that you are making sure you joined as the first person to join his Knicks podcast. I was honored. I didn't know why he would make me the first person. Maybe it's because he's funny and he's bringing me in on the joke on the idea of the Miami guy has been swayed by how lovable this team is. Sam, thank you for joining us. It is nice to see you. I like seeing you. I don't know what everyone else is here problem is with you. It's whatever.

What's whatever? It's whatever. You know, look at the hat, you know, the jacket. It's whatever, you know. I know. Look, I'll be honest. I'm dressing like a make-a-wish kid over here. I'm that happy.

And, Dan, you were my first and only podcast. It's my only sports podcast ever. You were the guest. No, you and Stavi did a great sports podcast. What are you talking about? That's from years ago. That was some years ago. Oh, this is your, you're starting a new podcast?

Are you starting a Nix podcast? No, I started one, and you were it. You were the only episode. I just had to get some shit at. It was canceled. Wow. Okay, no, but hold on a second. Hold on.

Do you have trouble with joy, Sam? Because, like, this all started because I'm telling you that this is as good as this will ever feel for a fan base, what you're presently feeling. Well, hopefully it feels better. I hope this run isn't over, man. We still got four games. So, you know, we got an alien in front of us. He's going to be tough. I know it's going to be a tough series.

You say that, but look how happy he is, but he's happy and he's also anxious, right? Like, are you confident? New Yorkers like to think they're confident. And are you confident? I'm confident, but, you know, it does suck when you hear Wembe in interviews being like, I'll die for this. And you're like, we had to get the motivated 7-5 guy. Like, LeBron never talked like this.

You know, why couldn't Wembe have been drafted by the Kings or something? He would have committed suicide by now. So, okay. So you're scared of him for multiple reasons. It's not even. His dad is 6'7 and his mom is 6'3. it feels like they did this to us on purpose. This feels a lot like eugenics.

Hitler would have loved this. Hitler would have loved what Wembe is doing. Are you confident, though? Like, I know publicly you have to put on a brave face, but what you're seeing is somebody that is coming from a different planet. Like, your happiest moment is meeting somebody who comes from another galaxy

and is just starting his rise. Well, that's the tough part. It's like during the winds, yeah, you're flying high. You're walking around. Like New Yorkers are being nicer to each other. Crime has gone down. I slow dance with a homeless lady the other day. Everyone's being kind to each other. But, you know, now it's real. And now you're like, yeah, now it's nerve-wracking. It's like, you know, you're happy when you get engaged. But now the wedding's here. And I'm like, damn, I hope this works. All right. So just so people understand both New York and you, what are your next 36 hours? like are they peaceful like there's nothing in the world you care about like nothing there's no one in the world you care about the way that you care about this is there i love this next team very much

i'm stressed i will be a game one i'm nervous uh i mean no you can't focus on anything else it's killed my stand-up my stand-up's gone down the toilet my sets have been horrible lately i'm you're too happy you're too happy no one wants to hear a comic talk about how god might be real I'm happy. And it's ruined your... His brand is not a joyous one day. Wait a minute. No, it's not good.

You know, things are... I got clipped by a guy on a city bike the other day, and I wasn't even mad. I was like, he probably had somewhere important to be. So God is real because Jalen Brunson's going to beat the intergalactic alien? That's my hope. I mean, Brunson, I can't believe people are still hating on Brunson. Like, this guy, Wembe's crying after he won this, and he's 7-5. You want to see Brunson's face?

He's just like serious. He's like, yeah, whatever. This is what I'm supposed to do. Why is the 7-5 guy more emotional than the second round pick who was not supposed to be here? This Spurs team is a team full of overachievers. These are three kids who got 1,600s on their SATs. They hit three straight years in the top five. We're a bunch of guys who got picked later, other than Cat obviously, but Cat had his own issues.

And here we are. This is a team of lovable underdogs. You said it, Dan. They are, but... Strawman! Who's killing Brunson? Everybody loves Brunson. Who's killing Brunson?

Dremont's still hating. Becky Hammond's still hating. She goes, prove it to me. Prove it to me that a 1A guy. I'd love to prove it to you, Becky. I hope he does prove it to you. Shut up. Get over it. Just say maybe you misjudge it.

Why can't any of them be like, maybe I was wrong? They all sound like villains. Like he's too little. He's killing people. There he is. You're too happy and it's ruined your stand-up. You're announcing that to the public.

Your career has been ruined by this next run. Yeah, it's over. Unless they lose. Then you're back. Jack. If they lose, I'm coming back in clown makeup, dude. It's going to be dark. Sam, what would you do if you had a show during one of the nights of the finals?

Well, luckily, I have a show only on. Saturday, an upstate gig, I would have canceled. I think that's in my contract if I get really sick and active God or if the Knicks play a playoff game. Yeah. Awesome. Are you, are you going to all of the games? I can't make all of them, but I'll go to everyone I can go to for sure. And I'll be watching everyone. How does this work with you, though? Like, is that an awkward call? Obviously, it's a very expensive ticket. Obviously, everyone in New York wants to be sitting next to Tracy Morgan. And obviously, I would say that you, Ben Stiller, I don't know, what's the Mount Rushmore right now? Chalamay's up there.

Salamee's very high. I'm not anywhere near this shit. I'm like second, third tier, Knicks fan. But I, you know, whatever it takes to be in the building, I don't care where I say. No, but the thing I was asking you, in terms of who those people are and how they actually care about the team, actually care. Ben Stiller's at the top of the list, and I think the way you care about this is unusual. I understand it's a hot ticket, but how awkward is it to try and get into the building? I'll find a way in.

I'm not worried. Do you think you care more than Ben Stiller? That one's tough. This is what they try to do. They can't let us have anything. They try to tear us against each other. Just a question. I refuse the question.

Okay. You reject the question. He can't do that. He just shut down the question. Zaz, are you mad at him because you're mad to see the Knicks in the finals? Like, because you're a two-time champion heat broadcaster? The Knicks have not hurt me in over a quarter century. Like, I don't even have the energy to be angry with the Knicks in the finals.

I think Sam's right. There's a lot about this Knicks team that's likable. There is. Thank you. I agree. And you know what? This Spurs team, they're all, like, perfect. They're all achieving at 22.

What's likable about that? They're all killing. You know what the Knicks are? Cat is kind of gay. OG is sort of autistic. Brunson's head is too big. Mitchell Robertson's obsessed with trucks. Josh Hart's always eating candy.

This is America, this next team. Jack. What, Landry's Shammett? You got some for Shammett? He's just a sniper, dude. 11 of 12-3s. No, but get out of here. In terms of all the improbable things, okay?

18-3s and a half against Philadelphia. Landry Shammett is 11 of his last 12 from threes. The most improbable thing is what? We just got to keep up the shooting, man. I mean, Bridges has been out of his mind lately. I got to give a shout out to Mikhail Bridges. Like, he got all the, he gets all the hate because we gave up so much for him, but like, we're not here without him. We don't beat the Celtics last year without him.

Like, you keep getting better each year with the same core. And McHale Bridges has been outstanding. Can you just, you're good with words, Sam, but I'm going to put you on the spot here. Articulate how you feel about Brunson because when I tell people, they've been objecting around here about this. I've been saying it for a couple of years. Brunson's going to be the most beloved Nick there's ever been because no one at the, that size gets to be that. And he's going to have to do it against a 7-5 guy.

And there's never been someone in sports that Sam trusts this way, I don't think, where you believe he's going to beat everyone in the fourth quarter. I mean, it hard not to believe. Yeah, he's giving us hope. He just, he's got, I got shit for saying this before, but there's a mental toughness that reminds me of Kobe with him. Like, there's, like, he's unflappable. So, yeah, I believe.

Like, I know that on paper, Vegas. says we're not going to win this. But yeah, how could you not believe when you have this squad? Jalen is a silent killer, OG is a silent killer. This team feels like professionals. But Sam, after they were down 2-1 to Atlanta, the last time they lost a game this postseason over a month ago, you were trading everyone, right?

No, no. I was pissed, but I was like, there's no way we should lose this series. There's a video footage of me behind C. Jim McCollum's interview. hidden with one of these, Nixon 5. I didn't believe we're going to lose. You're a believer, but when it comes to confidence, I want to really drill down on this. You're not allowed to say that you fear Wembe, right?

You're not allowed to say that if I speak to your darkest fears, you think it's his time and America's rooting for him. You think America's rooting for Wembe? Yes. I think he's incredible. I mean, what do you want me to say? He's a phenom. He's a great player.

Yeah. All right, now pull up the one of Mitch on Embeddeed, dude. Fuck you, you. Favoritist. But neither. These are the Knicks. Why are you upset? Sam's still there. He's a great, he's a great player. Am I annoyed that he got drafted with the Spurs? Of course. Yeah, it's not fair that they went from David Robinson to Tim Duncan to Wembe.

If Elon Musk won the lottery, would I be happy for him? No. The rich get richer. Fuck him. It's ridiculous. But is he incredible? Of course. And it's not just him. Castle's a hell of a player. Harper was, you know, they land. They killed it with that pick. It annoys the shit to me that Champany is an incredible shooter. Fucking Darry.

You know what? I've talked to him before, and he's a cool guy. But he has made some of the dumbest ass moves of all time. You give away McCain for pennies on the dollar. And you cut Julian Champany, who's a sniper for fucking MacMachlan? You did it for a show pony? Are you kidding me? Which means either way, if the Knicks played The Thunder,

or the Spurs, it's, it's Mori's last laugh. So my schedule gets a little chaotic this time of year. Most days, I'm here at the Metal Arc Studios, and then I'm heading straight to another broadcasting or hosting gig. And especially in this Miami heat, it's insane. And not the Miami heat, but the Miami summer heat. I've been trying to keep at least one healthy habit consistent. And that's why I've been bringing Kachava's new travel packs with me.

It's one less thing I have to worry about, which is great because I'm already spending enough mental energy, figuring out what shirt is acceptable to wear on camera or hosting or on the show that I'm not going to get made fun of for. So I just throw one in my backpack and I've got an all-in-one nutrition shake ready whenever I need it. It's packed with plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, greens, probiotics, electrolytes, and more. So even when my schedule is all over the place, I know I'm getting something good in. It tastes great. It's easy to take anywhere and there are no fillers. No nonsense.

Take your daily ritual with you. Go to Cachava.com and use Codan for 15% off your first order. That's 15% off your first order. That's Cachava, K-A-C-H-A-V-A-com. Cody, you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks. I know it well. It's usually when I show up. Everybody goes crazy.

Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Quarab. I walk in like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it. But again, it's the quervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it quervo.

Keep it quervo, baby. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. We've gotten a lot better at talking about our mental health than we used to, right? People are more open about it, conversations are happening, that's a really good thing. But asking for help, that still seems to be the hard part. Better Helps, 2026 State of Stigma Report surveyed 2,000 Americans. And if it revealed that 85% of Americans believe getting support is wise,

yet 74% say society discourages people from doing so. Think about it. Most of us believe it's the right thing to do, but we still worry about what other people might think. Maybe the best way to change that is to make those conversations a little bit more normal. Better Help supports fully licensed therapists in the U.S. and they handle the matching process for you.

Fraud. Everybody was like, Yo, he's better to jail of prison. He's better. The Knicks should have drafted him. Fraud. This is the Dan Lebatar show

with the Stugats. Do you think Tom Thibito's rooting for the next? Yeah, I do. Yeah, because he, yeah, I think he, I think Tibbs is a class act. And yeah, those are his guys.

So, how could you not? You mentioned Darrell Mori, he was on the show with us. He wrote a player, he wrote a musical, and he did a small bit of it for us. Do we want to have sex with giants, or know it's between four and six? How

to bring the parts into compliance. I just cannot grasp the mechanics. I'm confused. You should be, honestly. But you killed him. You crushed. Why do crush Mori? I haven't heard anybody. He's going to get another job, isn't he?

He's a talented GM, that that pissed me off that he gave way Champany for nothing because I watch all the games and Champany hit nine threes against the Knicks once. I know he's a sniper. So it annoys me that we have to worry about another guy. Sam, the last time the Knicks were in the finals, you were like, I think, 13 years old. How was your emotion right now compared to how you felt with your team in the finals way back then? I'm more emotional. It's sad that as I get older, I'm more emotional because I should have more to live for, but I guess I don't. This is it. 13 years old. you haven't really suffered enough.

And this is, if you're a real sports fan and you haven't won and you've come close and your heart's been broken again and again, you either give up completely or you still somehow find a way to believe. And I'll always, I believe, man. I believe in this Knicks team. And Brunson's given us reason to believe.

You know, I mean, this shit ain't nothing right here. This is pretty damn special, you know? What is that? A magazine? Nobody reads those anymore. The New Yorker. Oh, yeah, New Yorker. If you're the cover of the New Yorker, Dan.

I'm sorry, you fucking uncalled. I'm sorry, it's not the Miami Herald, dude. Fuck you. Whoa, I'm a Pulitzer winner. Whoa. Dan, I have to give you credit. You're a very good writer. Like, you really are like, your text to me are in your voice.

And I laugh. Can I read one of the texts Levitard wrote to me? Because they're in his voice. You guys text with Dan, so I know you know he does this. But this is my text after game one. This is a betrayal. This is a betrayal. This is a betrayal.

Nick's, after the Knicks, no, this is, I'm saying you're a good writer. This is the Knicks beat the Cavs in game one. And what's the, and what's the context? What I'm, am I, came back in a ridiculous fashion, what, 20 points with seven minutes left? I, what this text, just so that I think what he's going to read here is I am insisting that dark Sam moral feel joy. I'm insisting that the boy who was carried out when Patrick Ewing, when Patrick Ewing missed a finger role. Is that your first Knicks memory that you were? Yeah, that was the first one that really hit home. Your first Nick's memory is what? Hysterically crying in front of my family. How old were you? Too old to be crying that much. Okay, so I was insisting that you enjoy that after beating the

calves that way, that your team finally winning after 25 years, this is the best that fandom gets. This is what Dan wrote to me. The game was covered in ghost. Sam. You've been waiting for us for 25 years. You've been living in the lighthouse, Sam. You are Defoe. Nick's fandom has been dark and bleak. You've been masturbating into a tin cup for 25 years. It has made you the comic you are, heart made of acid. You text like you speak, which I respect. That's sweet. It's a sweet text. God, you're a psychopath. You jerk off in a cup? You sent that text like 3 a.m. What time did I say? I didn't, I assumed he wasn't sleeping. I assumed that I was late. It was a late night I assume that after Knicks games, you don't sleep.

Dude, I don't. That's the other thing is you're just wired. No one in the city can talk about anything but the Knicks right now. Like, yeah, we're lunatics. Like, you can tell, like, you know, the old scene of Midnight Cowboy where Dustin Hoffman's, like, so angry. And he's like, I'm walking here. That's like, that was before the Knicks won. That's that energy.

And now New Yorkers are being nice to each other. Like, you've seen everyone be, like, waving to each other. I don't believe you there. I think you're lying. I think you're publicly lying when you say New Yorkers are being nice to each other. Dude, crime is down. This is, the city is becoming a utopia. You dance with a homeless woman?

Oh, no. I did. People are not being nicer to each other, Sam. Nobody's being nice to each other. Everyone's being nice to each other. The world's becoming, the world is healing itself. And the world will soon heal itself with the laughter and the laughter and the, enjoy being spread in New York right now. I want Seventh Avenue to be on fire. I want,

I want this. Bigger Nick's fan. You or Michael J. Fox. I'm going to give it to Fox. He's been alive longer. He's a legend. He's a class act. I love Michael J. Fox. Sam, how many times has Dan texted you about Larry Johnson's four-point play? I don't actually think you have texted. Honestly, but that was probably before the Knicks come back on the cast, probably my happiest Nick memory and I've met LJ a couple of times and he's like he's the coolest man. But you told him that it was a ridiculous continuation, right? Definitely fouls on the floor. Did we get away with one maybe? Possibly. But you know what? You know, the Pacers. Okay. All right. So we're live all four hours today and we are on a lot of mainstream

outlets. So I will apologize a little late on how Sam is loose. But can you tell me? The Beatles are litigious. Can you please tell me? You have said the Knicks fan is your most heated rival. You're a longtime columnist. Sam appreciates writers. You've written for 50 years for the Miami Herald, which he just mocked while waving a magazine from a defunct age.

You mocked magazines, Dan. You mocked the dinosaur papers, yes, because it died on our watch, Sam. Magazines and people reading and literacy in general died on our watch. Not the New Yorker. Not the New Yorker. on the cover, but Sam would have for 25 years just about hated everything you are. Right. And you, for about 25 years, would have hated everything Sam was because you think that the Knicks

are the biggest rival that he'd has, not the Celtics. Right, but I don't root for the Knicks for that reason. I cheer for this final, like a fan would. It's the TV ratings are going to go through the roof. Nicks, who haven't won in a thousand years versus Wembe, the ratings are going to break records. And I think the Knicks winning would be the greatest story in sports more than Wembe. Wembe doesn't need it. He's 12 years old. He's got plenty of time. The NIC's having once since 73. Nick's winning is the best thing that could happen to the NBA. You heard it there. I mean,

I agree. I think we are a historic franchise that it's been 53 years. Like we are, this is a long, long wait for a city that is upset. I mean, think about what real estate goes through in New York, and there's a basketball court every few blocks. Like, we love basketball. So, yeah, we're hungry for this, man. This means more, I think, to Knicks fans. Like, one ring means more than, like, three or four to the Lakers, you know, or the Celtics. Like, this is, we need this.

Bigger Knicks fan, you are a turtle. Ferrar is hardcore. He's pretty hardcore. He's a, I don't know. I feel like we're neck and neck. Jerry and I are both pretty hardcore. Can you explain to people the difference between, the Knicks and all the other teams, like when you say it feel like four to the Lakers,

if I tell you New Yorkers, if I say, hey, you can win this many championships in Yankees, Mets, Jets, Jets, Giants, or the Knicks can win one. Like, in terms of what this team means to this city, it means more than the others. Does it not? Yeah, there's some people who only care about hockey and there's some people who only care about football. You know, I like all sports, but I love the Knicks. To me, the Knicks are the most important.

So I think a Knicks title, I mean, look, look at the drafts. I mean, the Rangers 1-94, which is kind of becoming a drought, the Giants have been, I mean, the Jets and the Nix are the two droughts, really, in New York. But if I say to you, I don't, I'm asking you to speak on behalf of all New Yorkers, but don't you think that a Knicks championship feels to New York with memories and everything else because it's been passed down through generations more than a couple of Super Bowls, more than if the Jets and the Giants won in New York? And isn't it the way that I've had explained to me, Sam, it's because like every basketball

fan in New York. Like, the Nets are New Jersey. Like, every basketball fan in New York is a Knicks fan. Well, it's the team that's actually in the city. It's the team that actually lives inside of the city. But also, they're in Brooklyn now the Nets, but no one takes them seriously.

And you can tell that by the fact that, like, you pull in K.D., Kyrie, and Hardin in their prime. And no one went. No one gave a shit. It was like if Denzel was doing community theater, you're just like, this is sad that you have this level of talent and no one gives a shit.

Meanwhile, the Knicks get Julius Randall, who was killer. We loved him. He revitalized us. And every game is packed. You know, so, yeah, it's Knicks are bust in New York. We're in Knicks town. Well, but it also, the thing that I'm trying to make spring from both Zaz and Greg Cody is the fact that if you've been caring about basketball for 25 years, the Knicks have been on the wrong end for a quarter century of all the Miami jokes.

They are losers to the doormat of Miami for 25 years. years in basketball since Miami stole Pat Riley. Like it's it's generations now. But when Alan Houston was making one of the worst memories in the history of Miami sports against Pat Riley, the Knicks have had precious few runs through these 30 years. And right now, Sam, you're up and the heat down big. And you two, who care about the Miami Heat, you must enjoy speaking from on high to them. Hey, we passed you over the last five years. You guys got a. And over the last five years, we built a team that passed your organization. It's not even like that, though, because like for whatever reason, if we just got LeBron,

it wouldn't have felt as special, no offense. You guys, look, you got Wade too. You have more than us regardless. But, like, LeBron, I've never been the biggest LeBron guy. So it wouldn't have felt as special to me. The fact that we did, we're doing this with this team we built, this kind of scrappy team, you know, of a led by a second round pick who's everyone says it's undersized. It means a lot the way they're doing it.

And yeah, the history and the fact that this team killed Brunson's dad, 99. This is like gangs of in New York, dude. We're back. It's been forever. We've made two finals in my lifetime. They both were heartbreaking. This is the third one. I'm praying it has a different result.

But yeah, I think this is as big as it gets in New York. Like the Yankees have won so many. The Mets have, you know, struggled, whatever. the Giants have done well, the Rangers won in 94, whatever, you can go down the list. But, yeah, we need this, I think, as a city. What would you be willing to give up for the Knicks winning the championship this year? You name it, dude.

Well, what if you... Well, charity, we're doing something for charity here. We're doing... I mean, you can make donations here to... I was going to say sammoral.com. That is not where you can make donations. We don't want to do that, but I'm looking for the name of... What would you be willing to get? Give up. Give me money.

That's what I'm going to give us. Project Mainstreet.org is what I meant to find. Again, construction business, you know, things. Like my mind, my mind's not here. I confuse the monkeys and the Beatles. So what, so let me just get this straight. You're saying if the Knicks win, Sam has to give us money for charity for a telethon. Not us.

But if he wins, project mainstreet.org, he makes a donation as part of this charitable telethon we're doing today that he's highlighting. He's our headliner today. Sam? I'm in. I'm in. If they win, you got me. I badgered him. See, if they win, so ask him for an amount. Half-ass given to charity. Give it because his heart's in the right place. Don't you hate ALS? I won't publicly say how much I'll give it, but I'll give a good donation, I promise.

There you go. I badgered somebody into that. One last question before we let you go. A former girlfriend of yours, a giant Spurs fan, how would this have gone? How would this have gone if, and have you considered that at all? Like the idea that she felt about the spurs. But she felt about the spurs the way you feel around the necks, correct? The feelings are equal, yes? Yeah, sure.

Don Lebertard. Billy, somebody is written in here. I need way more. I'm sorry. I just said in his headset, haven't you been to all of them too? It sounded like you were speaking aloud. My bad.

Totally on me. That's 100% on me. Stugats. But that goes without saying. That it couldn't have. Well, now he said. He didn't say it. Greg.

Greg. My apology is sincere. Greg. Greg. Greg. Yeah. Greg. He apologized.

Craig. Cerely. This is the Don Labatar show with the Stugats. We'll get to A.J. Brown and Miles Garrett in a moment. But getting back to the catchphrases, where are you, Greg, on the list? Are we at number 18, number 17? Number 19. Where are we?

Yeah. Number 19 was nice chatting with you. And the two newest ones are. All right, hold on. So, but just for the record, okay, is someone who has loved and known Cody the entirety of this list. Make them start from the beginning again. Okay, we will do that.

But nice chatting with you is a hell of a dismount at 19. Yeah, chatting and chatting with you. No, I know. I know. But Greg, you've been saying that since I've known you. That's how I signed off with Paul and Young Ron every two weeks. To think that Greg has 18 better than that suggests that what is coming your way down the pike this summer, bigger than the World Cup.

No, this list is a monster. Like, if you're telling me that Nice chatting with you is 19, when I think of that one, like, I would assume that's right at the top. If we're being honest, he probably is 28 better. That's why the list may have to grow from 60 to a top 70. It just might.

It just might. Are you, just report it now. It's out of my control. Totally in your control. There are forces in nature larger than myself. Greg, do you already have one or two more? Do you have two that could have been in and should have been in and you're regretting or not in, and therefore you're going to see if you have eight more?

They're coming to me all the time. I thought it won the other day that I added to the list. I'm going to possibly. So if you're still adding, see, you just saw what happened there, right? That's why it's out of my control. Zaz, you saw what happened there. How can one that you just think of be better than any of the ones you've already ranked? I'm not saying it's better, but it's in.

It's a list. That's how this works. It's in the conversation, though. No, no, no. Let me tell you something about lists. Okay. If you make a list... Didn't wait for this. Okay, this is your...

This is Zaslo's personal list. Top 100 NBA players of all time. Yeah. Is everybody going to agree with that list? No. And the order of it and the ranking? Exactly. Sagaki.

No, but if I came up with a list of 100 best players and then I remember a player I forgot, he wouldn't just be shoehorned into the top 20. Yeah, he would. What if you forgot? What if you forgot? What if you forgot Elgin Baylor? Nice chatting with you.

Box me in. I can't believe that that's 19. Like, this is such, this is going to be such a monster list. Sponsors, I'm telling you, there's big money here. Sponsor the rest of this list. The next 19 are going to be beasts because, Greg. Yes. 18 is going to be revealed right now, and it's going to be better.

You're telling me, this is better than nice chatting with you, which is, I think, an eternal first ballot Hall of Fame. Okay. This is my list. I mean, for me, it's one spot better, but some may disagree. No, but you're respecting your list by trying to make these the best, correct? You know nice chatting with you, Greg. Nice chatting with you.

Greg, you've been saying it since I've known you. It's almost your first words in our relationship. Nice chatting with you. It was my first words in the crib. I'm going to say the first time you ever made me laugh was when we had a very short conversation. That's when you use it best. And you say nice chatting with you and you hang up. Right.

Is this a bit? Are we actually going to get to the list? 18. He ain't heavy. He's my blank. It's not really blank. You fill in the blank. You know, he, if, you know, I'm getting a plastic tub that weighs 40 pounds down from the attic.

My son's Michael is bringing it down for me. He says, damn, this is heavy. and I go, he ain't heavy, he's my plastic tub. That's an example of he ain't heavy, he's my blank. Okay. One more time further away. Now, Christopher did not particularly like that one. He did like number seven.

How can that be a had of nice chatting with you? Nice chatting with you. He ain't heavy. He's my blank, okay? It's my first fill in the blank in the list, so it's making history here. And you want number 17? Not really. Okay.

I'm kind of with him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm the kind of guy that. That's not filling the blank. No. How is this How? How? How can the list... Maybe the next one's better. I mean, that's the way that lists work. The next one should be better, right? It should be. Yeah, one better. Number 17.

Hey, that's what I'm talking about. I feel like that's my phrase. I regret asking... I say that's what I'm talking about. I regret asking. You just stole one of my phrases. No, I've been saying it longer than you have. And you made it sing-song. It is sing-song. That's my gimmick. That's what I'm talking about. That's my phrase.

How long have you been saying that? In the crib. Oh, you're stealing my crib line. Uh-oh. It's as. We got a crib off. No. You know what just happened?

It just got cocked. Which one of us? He took your catchphrase. That's bullshit. And you just sat there and watched. Okay, you say, do you say hey? Because that's a key to this. I say, that's what I'm talking about.

Okay, you don't say hey. Hey, that's what I'm talking about. So you just take someone's phrasing it but a hay in front of it. All of a sudden it's yours? I had no idea you said that. Always driver comfort is paramount. That's what I'm talking about. That's my phrase.

Okay. And my phrase says, hey, that's what I'm talking about. You can't just take something that I say and make it sing-songy. Sure I can. And throw a hay in front of it. Hey, hey, hey, with the monkeys. Hey, that's what I'm talking about. The monkeys came up with that.

What are you talking about? Well, no, that was the Beatles. The Beatles are like teaching. Who won? No. Who won? That has to be an elderly. lady's voice. Yes, thank you. It's my

mother. She's like 87 years old sitting on the couch going, who won? Please stop for just a second and I'm sorry to do this because we'll get to A.J. Brown and Miles Garrett in a second. The idea

this is stunning to me, Zazan, you are right to be insulted. Zaz is a radio legend in this market. Legit one of my top phrases. I'm going to say top three I'm going to say the one I'm most associate you with. I would say, wait a minute. This is so disrespectful. I can't even fathom it.

Like, he is a... Zaz is a radio legend in this market. Hard stop. He's got five signature catchphrases. This, I think, is number one for me. What are the five? Do you have five? I know what number 16 is for Greg. I hope it's hay Thai food. if you were making

a signature phrase list that would be how long that's what I'm talking about would be very high on the list Would it not be number one? I mean also you know bad news for blank Yeah

Very high Hey bad news for blank And making it sing songy It's not yours if you do that It's my phrase Short list by you Go ahead Also you know

What do you say That's mine You can't just add a hay in front Hey what do you say And now it's yours Wow, that kind of sounds better. It does. Hey, what do you say?

It's not better. No, it is. It's worse. Hey, what do you say? Hey, what did he say? Yeah, Greg. Hey, what did he say? That's so good.

Thank you. It's copyright. Cuckie, right? He's back. By the way, if I could just tell the audience, okay, because it's happening again. It seems to happen every few days. Yes, I have seen the picture of the Cuck Command Center. You don't have to send me the tweets anymore.

I've seen it. Thank you. Thank you. It's wrong what's happening to Zaz right now. Is it? But our audience, yes. Yes. He's got internet shame.

You don't even know what we're talking about, right? You don't know. Command Center? No, I don't know what that's about. How do we describe this? How do we describe this? So you don't know. what's happening to Zaz on the internet and you don't know what Zaz's catchphrases are.

Um, I know he says, um, what did he say? I know that one. That's the only one I associate with it. What is the difference, Zaz, I really don't understand how you don't feel genuinely disrespected. Not that he didn't know it, but that he's sitting here putting on his list 17, your phrase sung by him that none of us have ever heard him say. No, he does know it. The question is, how did it get in his head? Is it subconscious? Because that happens, you know? That's,

Like someone like Sam Morrow. Like you come up with a joke. You're going on and hey, did I hear that somewhere? Is that where I got the idea? Is that what happened with Greg there? Or is it blatant disrespect? And he's taken one of my go-to lines for over 20 years in this market. That's what I'm talking about.

That's me. I know. But what about, hey, that's what I'm talking about. See, that's not your line. That's not your line. Look, I'm taking the high road here, okay? You're taking the high road. You very well could have stolen that line from me

because I have my wife, either of my sons, will testify under oath that I've been saying, hey, that's what I'm talking about their entire lives. That kind of thing. Going for two when you're up by five. Switching the zone when man isn't working. Oh, and building your new stadium in the state your team actually plays in.

In sports, some things just do. makes sense. You know what else makes sense? Drinking Yeagermeister shots. Ice cold. Drinking it any other way would be like punting on first down or letting your worst hitter bat first or like going for two when you're down three with a second to go. It wouldn't make any sense. So don't let the team down when it comes to Yeagermeister. Drink it cold or don't drink it at all. Yeagermeister. Damn, that's cold. Drink responsibly.
