You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Welcome to the big suite, presented by Giraffe King. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries

that if they're just there, that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. So Eddie had an amazing excuse of telling his wife that when the Maple Leafs called his aunt was sick. You're calling that amazing? In all time.

Yeah, I have one that's worse if you can believe it. Yeah, I once went on a first date, like this is 10, 12 years ago now, and I get there and immediately I was like, this guy's a dud. I can't, I was like, I can't sit through, like I couldn't talk, I was like, this guy's a dud. I can't, I was like, I can't fit through, like I couldn't talk, I was like, I can't fit through this. I had to pull the parachute.

Half a drink left and I'm panicking. I'm like, I can't be here anymore. I was like, oh, hold on one second, pretending my roommate was my best friend was calling me. I go outside and I call her and I was like, this is the worst day of my life and she was like, oh, I'm sorry, well, our dishwasher broke and I was like, perfect. Wow. I go back and I go inside and I say like, this is the worst date of my life. And she was like, oh, I'm sorry, well, our dishwasher broke and I was like, perfect.

Wow. I go back, I go inside and I say to him, I was like, I am so sorry. I have to leave my dishwasher broke. There's flooding everywhere in the kitchen. And he was like, what? And I was like, soap is everywhere. It is a huge problem.

Bubbles everywhere, it's like one big bubble. Yeah, what, it's just like the splish splash situation. Well, your roommate can't handle it by herself. And I left. I didn't even finish my drink. I left. He offered to help. He's like, I'll come back with you.

I got it. I can help you. To this day. I'm like, I'm standing. I love soap. Yeah. I feel bad about it. But yeah, I'm like, we got it.

I feel bad about it. Also, kind of proud of myself that I just rolled with it. And now you guys are engaged. I'm like we got it. I feel bad about it. Also kind of proud of myself that I just rolled with it. And now you guys are engaged. I'm gonna join me. And it's the horror it would have been if he had just said, yes, I'm a dishwasher repair man. Can you imagine? Maytag, maytag repair man.

Yes. There's one on the wire right now. I haven't even done it. I didn't even get to what he did. He could have been. I mean, I want to talk to you about some heat things that we didn't get to yesterday because Mike Ryan was yelling that everything is rigged.

What a trick. A couple of things I want to get to with you. If the heat have four turnovers in the game and allow Denver to only make five threes. That's not a game you should lose at home by double digits. Just those two things by themselves. You're playing maximum efficient on your side and not not making baskets obviously, but not turning the ball over, not making mistakes, not allowing fast easy baskets. Is this a question or statement it is that here's the question the question is as you and others demand bam play better what's the rebuttal to he can't the other guys better

than he is well i don't think anyone's asking him to play better than yokets we're just saying don't play bad don't don't play but you're saying be aggressive against that guy and it's hard to be aggressive again because he's better than you are. No, I don't, I don't subscribe to it. Like I think the idea is BAM settles for that mid-range jumper a lot and on days that he's hitting it, it's awesome But on days where you're six of eighteen or whatever he was like, hey, here's an idea your six of 18 or whatever he was, like, hey, here's an idea. Yeah, he's bigger than you. Also, you're quick and you jump out of the gym

and you're extremely long and you're skilled basketball player. Take it to the rim. Like dare them to stop you. And by the way, they did. There was a couple of times when you went up and you got blocked or smothered. But to me, I just don't think that the mid-range jumper, when it's not falling, is the answer.

And there's probably no better example than what happened when the heat made that last push and Duncan Robinson said to three and they've got a, they've got a, you know, a, we were talking about that. I mean, at the last play, Duncan hits the three, they cut it to, what was it, nine or 10? Nine.

All the sudden, ban gets the ball and shoots and to what was it nine or nine nine all the sudden Bam gets the ball and shoots an all eternal the court's turn over to we have momentum going and he shoots that elbow L jumper was just like what are we doing? Yeah, I mean and he had a couple of people your coverage is hungover Yeah, you're the mix on your coverage is hungover your points drifting off. Hold on a second, guys, bam is averaging 23 and 14. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it is not been he's the best player he's the guy being mentioned in the same sentence as Jordan Kobe LeBron and he's given you nothing in the NBA not nothing but not what he's been played a lot better than man last game and Stephen A Smith who got dunked on a little bit yesterday by whom I mean JJ reddick pointed out when Stephen A is saying that Yochitch's post game isn't special reddick said you know what A is saying that Yochitch's post game isn't special. Reddick said, you know what's the most efficient play anywhere in basketball in the half, in the last decade of data tracking in the half court?

Yochitch in the post. Well, that's, I mean, what reddick said afterward was boom. He actually said the boom after he literally said boom. He said boom. I think James Williams also said boom where Stephen A's like post games Not that special. It's the most efficient play in the sport for 10 years this this thing where people just looks ugly I just like I don't understand it. I don't understand this whether to God's for the Stephen A's whether or to ever This idea that like you guys are kind of over-hyping this yoke. That's that's the overall message, right?

Is that he's not all that I just don't understand what people get off on that because this idea that like you guys are kind of overhyping this yogurt. That's that's the overall message, right? Is that he's not all that. And I just don't understand what people get off on that because he's incredible. No, I'm acknowledging that he is great. I figured it out when I was watching the game the other day. You said while yawning, I don't. I said while yawning, you said what you texted me.

I yawning the double double. I yawning throughout it. I never yawning watching Michael Jordan. I never yawning watching Kobe Bryant. I never yawned watching Michael Jordan. I never yawned watching Kobe Bryant I never yawned watching Dwayne Wade Here's the problem with yokey. You're a great player. I'm acknowledging that best player in the game, okay? I don't want to watch and ask myself how I just want to watch and go. Oh my god That's what I'm doing the entire time I'm watching him. I'm not, I'm asking how? I call BS.

I think you have, Yon, during a doing-a-dawing-wade game. Probably. Stu, I think I have a 90s baseball comparison for you that maybe can get you on board with Yokech. OK. I think that Nikola Yokech is Greg Maddox. Wow. Greg Maddox was as dominant as any pitcher and major league

baseball in the 90s. Was he as entertaining to watch as Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, these flame throwers with crazy sliders and all these other pitches. No, he just was constantly great. And batters would say they went a comfortable 0-4 against him, but 0-4 nonetheless. You guard Yokech for 22 seconds, and then he's going to throw something up that looks like he's literally throwing it over and it's going to bounce around the rim and somehow end up going in.

But he's going to be the greatest. Niko Yokech. A couple of Stephen A items that I was getting to because I don't want to sink into the whole again of Yokech's unlike anyone we've ever seen, Stugat's board by him. Okay. Okay. Like, he's not alone. And when I went out there with the take of, I think part of his startup issue

is that he's not American, that got aggregated, that got, uh, weaponized, but there are a number of reasons that it's so, and one of them is also that he's not American, and another one is that he's fighting through interviews in a second language, and another one is that he's fighting through interviews in a second language, and so you don't get the personality of the interview,

and some people don't like the personality of the game. Also that he plays like Tim Duncan, doesn't seem interested in fame, plays in Denver, a lot of different reasons, but basketball people, and you've got to cross over to be transcendent, to be a star, you gotta get out of basketball. Basketball people are like, holy shit, never seen anything like it, most amazing, beautiful thing, beautiful thing,

not ugly, not boring, don't know how it happens, but the mystery is discovery and awe and wonder to watch it unfold because bam out of bio all of that athleticism gets stuck in his navel. Like might go 23 14 but doesn't look like himself. Yo, it looks like himself against everybody. Nobody bothers him and he's not having any of the inefficient Jimmy games. It's not going to happen.

Like can you show me the last time he went something like seven for 20. That's not that's not something that happens to him. He's gonna shoot 50% in every game because he's smarter and better than everybody who's playing it. Even Murray said after the game, he's like, I don't think the consistency gets talked about enough. And I think watching Yokeuch, the reason I love it, I know I've joked about like,

it looks like he's going to work or, you know, he's, he's, Yokeh, he's just like us. I think that there's something sort of magical about not knowing exactly what is gonna happen, but knowing that it's gonna be spectacular and it's gonna be quick. Like when he has an amazing assist, I don't know where it's gonna go.

I don't know what it's gonna look like, but I know it's gonna get there. And that to me, it's going to go. I don't know what it's going to look like, but I know it's going to get there. And that to me, it's like very rewarding. You say it's quick and the fascinating thing about him is it's quick and also incredibly slow. Well, he knows. He's like, it's, yeah, you're coming around. But this is part of the problem.

It doesn't look like you're watching ballet in the air. It looks like you're cooking molasses. No, but he is touches where he gets it and immediately he's it's off I don't know I think that there I think that there is a little bit of grace in there I just scrolled through his entire season and I can find two Poor shooting games all season including the playoffs There's two I see 30% and 27% in one like two games Look these are the wrong I don't believe that damn No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, It's the boring excellence of Tim Duncan except better Because I would take Yokech against him Duncan. Would you the big fundamental? Show me the three consecutive MVP's Tim Duncan should have won. I mean show me the ring that Yokech has

Obtained to God. Yeah Yokech is started. He's like, Yoke is just like the best guy ever at Missionary Sex. Put it on the pole, please, Jude. At Labatard, so is Yoke it's like the best guy ever at Missionary Sex? The only thing that makes that take even better is Chris Delivative with all seriousness.

Just stun faces like that. He didn't smile for like five seconds after he said it. Well, this is another reason. This is another reason. This is another reason Yo-Kitch is not someone who's more popular what he's doing doesn't look like he's enjoying it all of us would be enjoying the holy hell out of that missionary sex Because he's not doing a doggy style. That's what that's what all right. Go sit the party. Yeah, yeah, go

I can't be so heavy hand capable of it. Just incapable of it. Somehow less subtle than Mr. God. And it's breath-taking. You really is. The thing I was saying about Stephen A. Smith, though, when I say breath-taking, both Stephen A and JJ Reddick were on television frustrated by the heavy breathing of Kendrick Perkins You know is this called it out they live like you sound like you have happening Like stop stop breathing so heavy and Denver And Stephen A Smith has said as we spread the blame around here it's Jimmy it's

bam all of you be better than that garbage truck with hands also Stephen A Smith is saying where the hell is Caleb Martin everyone's tired where the hell is that the mixer last year he was at the mixer day I met him ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces?

¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? ¿Qué haces? Hola, alguien me escucha, necesito ayuda. Estoy en Barcelona y las criaturas están por todas partes. Así me escuchas. Al guáis, ¡blook! ¡Al guáis!

Escucheis lo que escuchéis. Tapados los ojos. La calle vamos todos a rise, look, toadais. Escuchéis lo que escuchéis, tapados los ojos. La calle vamos todos a cieras, pero lo más aterradores no saberen que confiar. Uy de las personas que os piden que mireis. Si queréis seguir convido. Llevo, Tard! ver. Dan Lebatard! Lou Holt's number one tell you.

Trooping my balls off. I can't play a little touch of grey. You cannot give me enough fake Lou Holt saying any number. Trooping my balls off. We're... You can't give me enough. Stugatz! The jewel on the microphone!

I'm not sure what you're going to do. Just keep your laptop on fire. To avoid the eating mind when fixed. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats! Finally, we can get someone around here. And nose their basketball. As opposed to this assortment of insiders in front office people and just gas bags in general. What are you talking

about? Doris Burke with us thrilled to see her loves her basketball. I believe she loves basketball more than I mean put her on the pole please, Jude, at Levitard show. Does Doris Burke love basketball more than amino has it but not tony uh... nobody can love that one you know thank you tony uh... dors thank you for being on with us and i'm i'm watching something that i'm trying to uh... make historical sense of

because i think i can say yoke itch is the best basketball player ever uh... i i feel like i'm I mean he could keep winning Michael Jordan I know but I'm just saying he could keep winning MVP's here. Thank you. So God I appreciate you for always being there in that regard very controversial opinion from you But seriously Doris can you help me understand because I've never seen someone who plays basketball this way who can dominate a game easily, slowly. Yes. You know what, Dan? It's been a privilege for me, obviously, to cover LeBron's career, KD's career. I came in at the very tail end of Kobe's successful years. This guy is unique in his ability.

I call him the chess master because he's solving every defense in real time. He seems to see and feel it in a way that's really special. And what I love, we had a game earlier this year and I think our sideline reporter in the game was Roz and he had set some record and forgive me, I don't remember what it was, but it was a passing record and a cis record. And you know this guy, he deflects attention away from himself. He's quite uncomfortable anytime you're asking him about his individual success. But on that particular night, he had set it in a cis record.

And I think the way Ross phrased it was something about, are you proud? What are you most proud of? And he said, well, he said, I guess I'm proud that maybe this record means that I've helped my teammates. He's such a likable guy and what I fail to understand and what frustrates me wildly is what I feel I can be disrespect toward him and like people underestimate him. We sat with Gabe Vincent yesterday and then Aaron Borden and Gabe said something really intriguing.

He said, he's a better athlete than you think. Because there's going to be a moment where you're in. And Katie said something similar about Luca, as it relates to this. And what Gabe said to his yesterday was something like, is it better athlete than you think? He's going to pretend he's lumbering up the floor, and then he's going to hit you with a burst,

and he's passed you, or he's made you look silly with something he's done. And then Aaron Gordon talked about the relentless nature of this guy, the commitment to conditioning that he made. He's tireless. What did he play the other night? Forty, whatever, 43 minutes, almost 44 minutes. He doesn't fatigue anymore. And he's just, I don't know, there's something so likable

about the man. He wears his wedding ring tied around his shoe. He's so humble. He could care less about the NBA lifestyle. This guy is one of my absolute favorite people and one of my absolute favorite players to watch. And I just, PJ, Carlos Mo Castellan, I keep saying, guys, we just keep saying we are so thankful that you know at this moment where 11 million people are tuning in that

Maybe people can start to appreciate him because shame on us Shame on us as a fan base in this country if we don't respect and appreciate what this man is doing Doris I was talking to someone yesterday media available and said Doris, I was talking to someone yesterday media available and said, the all the great players, they usually play largely mistake free basketball. But then there come the time where they make mistakes, but because of their greatness, whether it's athleticism, whether it's just sheer skill, they make the play anyway, even though they made mistakes. I watched Yoke and he doesn't make mistakes. We never get to that point where his talent needs to take over

because he gets it right every single time how do you make him play mistake basketball how how do the Miami he get him to falter a little you know I don't know that that's the solution to beating this perfectly frank with you and I I just don't think you're going to force him you're never gonna speed him. You're never going to speed him up. His mind works so quickly. There's a subtle thing that happens in basketball often where,

you know, as a defense, as a, you know, defensive team and look at what Spowe has done in controlling tempo and keeping teams off balance as they marched through this playoffs. You know, in game seven, I believe a boss, and I don't think he played the zone until like the second half of the fourth quarter. So I think it was six minutes and down. He didn't play it until a particular moment, like his pulling of the strings is so timely, Erick's full strap.

And, but this guy, again, I go back to that word, chess master, where the pawns or the rooks or whatever's moving on the floor, and he's feeling it. He's feeling it in this nuanced way that maybe you can't quantify. So what did they do? You try to affect Jamal Murray in game two. So then what does Michael Malone do? He counters with the most on-ball screens.

And I mean, you know this. that one action of dribble handoff, that's very hard to disrupt. You saw them blitz, Jamal a little bit more, and they pick up points for Jamal. Then Jamal uses that escape dribble, and I still think there's more to be mined. If they continue to trap Jamal, particularly with Yokech on the floor. Now he's going to escape, dribble. I think if he gets off the faster and the release points are there more quickly, then all of a sudden it's a three on two with Yokech with the ball in his hands and that's problematic. But I know this. So you guys remember in the game, in last year's finals at Boston, I think it's for an it's a must win situation. And the intensity coming off Steve Kerr and Stefan Kerr is like these bad SMFs are not walking

out of here without a win. And games, excuse me, game two in in in Denver, Eric Sp Bolstra, Chris Quinn, Karam Butler, the entire staff, there's this, there's just this intensity pouring off of these guys. And that matters, and that matters. And then that fuels the team. So my expectation tonight is you're gonna see all that incredible fabulous, nasty nasty competitive spirit for Miami.

And I'll be shocked if this isn't a possession bulging down the stretch and we've seen Miami flourish in those environments. So I can't wait for tip. Doris, I am asking you this because you're a hall of famer. So if your answers no, it's no. Okay, but I'm asking your permission. Well, wait a minute. If her answer is no, it's no.

Yes. I will. I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I expect what it is, Yokehitch is doing on the floor, and it's still finding it to be boring. Oh, no. Oh, gosh. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around now. Damn it. It's, I do believe it's happening some, though. You're saying how nice he is and how likable and everything else.

And I think him struggling through his second language, I mentioned that if he were American, right, and interested in stardom, he would somebody, he would be somebody who'd have all the Stardom because he is a seven foot unicorn. Like it's not, it's not very often, Doris, I see it in your face when you're talking about him. You're like, my God, I respect the science

of what is happening here so much because no one gets to break the game over their knee like that. It's crazy. Let me ask you this. Was a Pete Sampress guy who had, you know, that great tennis career, and yet people did not appreciate him,

because his personality was, you know, understated. Give me some accuracy. Yeah, I don't know. Some accuracy. Yeah, it wasn't accuracy. Great point with the hair early, and then dating Steppy Graph, I mean, I'm not sure if it's a lot of people who are interested in the community. I'm not sure if it's a lot of

people who are interested in the community. I'm not sure if it's a lot of people who are interested in the community. I'm not sure if it's a lot of people who are interested in the community. I'm not sure if it's a lot of people who are interested in the community. and Kessie about, you know, the women's final four became compelling basketball because

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark were these compelling figures in basketball and for three weeks, those two players dominated the basketball narrative. Now the playoffs hadn't started and I understand, but I remember going to the women's final four for the first time as a fan and saying, wow, you guys have maybe the most captivating players in the sport right at the moment. Regardless of NBA college, because at the moment, those women were so compelling. And so you lose a little bit of that with Yokech, because all he wants to do is be with his daughter and his wife. And I begged him to do, I said, listen, I want to do a film session with you.

I'm going to put you in a chokehold like your brothers until you tap out and say yes, and he just looked at me and he's like, though, I'm not doing it. Putting on the pole, Judeoat Levitard show, would you get to be a bigger star if he had a mullet? I think Federer is from the same class of personality type where the excellence should be enough, but for some reason, we need a little pizzazz on it. I mean, you were talking about something non-basketball related before the show. I'd like you to present that question to Doris

that you were asking me before the show. Doris, have you ever used your cell phone in your dreams? Have I ever used my cell phone in my dreams? I don't believe so. What do you think, tapas? I said bit to you that no one actually dreams about using their phone, even though it's something that we're now we are all kind of addicted to. No one dreams about using the cell phone, even though juju got is saying it's not. I have nightmares about me using my damn phone. Salute to you, darling. I have nightmares that I'm writing in a Google Doc

and it's the wrong thing, but these feel similar. What is a worse excuse, Doris? Is it, my dishwasher was broken or my aunt is sick? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, dishwasher broken. Come on. Thank you, Doris. You're on a heaters show.

You're validating me. Doris, how about, help me with this part of it, right? Because I know BAM and Jimmy can help make each other better, but I don't think that they can make each other better the way Yokech makes Jamal Murray better. No slight on Murray. No, that is no slight on Murray. Yeah.

I think it's two different tantums. And what I saw an interesting number yesterday about Jimmy. So from the point he hurts his ankle and game won against the mix. In 12 or 14 games, he's been under 50% shooting. And what's happening, he's got the most drives Dan in the playoffs. And that's when he's at his most dangerous. Because he jump stops and he either scores over somebody. And he can score over size and he can finish when he's right. And what they have done is they've met him in the paint with size.

They forced him to be a passer. The game three, the team went over seven. I think of his first seven passives and these were good looks. I mean, like these were not necessarily wide open where you've got five feet. I just don't think like Miami is averaging 99 points. In the four final games of the Eastern Conference finals, I think they went 93, 94, 103, 103. I just remember thinking to myself, those numbers won't be Denver. Like Denver is so good offensively. I think the threshold is like between 108 and 112. And absolute minimum you've got to get to,

what they score in game one, I don't even remember, one 111, I don't know, whatever. I just think they've got to score more points. And unless they use the great equalizer, the three, to greater effect like they did in game two, which was such, I think they scored 51 points from three. And unless they do that, I think they're going to have a hard time winning this series. Uh, Dores, we're going to see when you come back here. You owe us $25 for clearing your voice

into the microphone, but Stugat's wants that's okay. No, it's all right. It's just a finding system. We have 25 bucks. We trust you.

i thought he said he was proud of how they just got swept uh... we've got uh... mike brain is coming up later in the show he's also on the wheel if you're watching on television that's coming up later on the show and also a meme wants to correct me on something so let's go ahead and spin the wheel and see what it is that it oh a New York smoke is up there as well the smoke in New York from all of Quebec is on fire I mean what does it say up there I can't see it from here leave the set of the day then it. Say up there. I can't see it from here. We said, that of the day, Dan.

I have the choice to written down here. I mean, I wrote them down for no reason. I thought you're going to choices again. One of real wheel means season. One of the choices. Zion and porn stars celebrity dating, milkshake lady, Billy's hockey analysis

Buckshaw Walter Mike Breene and a meme wants to correct Dan and New York smoke Mike Breene only if you're watching on television not if you're doing audio but set of the day it is it's the Star of the day. Star of the day, Star of the day, and it's the Star of the day. Star of the day, Star of the day, and it's the Star of the day. Star of the day, Star of the day, and it's the Star of the day. I'm gonna go for it. My blood alcohol content is 0.999. You sound like shit. Like your energy stinks.

My energy is amazing. I'm well amazing. It doesn't sound not really It does it sounds awful It doesn't sound to anyone like your energy is amazing. No, all right, so I'll give you a different step then Static of the day so Every NBA finals since I left the Phoenix Suns in 2012 has featured at least one person I worked with and of those I guess that's 11 NBA finals that have happened.

Someone I've worked with has won a championship nine times. The stat of the day is about you and it wasn't even on the wheel. You got them right. All right, go sit in the penalty box for two minutes. Wow. I want to hear Billy's hockey analysis. Okay, well, well, maybe we'll spin the wheel again and see if we get to that hockey analysis.

You can leave now and listen to it in the penalty box. Yeah, if it lands. I so regret, I so regret asking that question. I wrote him down. I do too. I don't know why you do it. And I regret, I now regret paying you. Wow.

I mean, his week is, his week week he's just been drinking and spending money on liquor and throwing parties. That's like a great week. And inviting people to the studios. You're not paying dividends. Boris Johnson's here. Boris. Oh, say it. I go by both of you. Boris Johnson. I don't know. Boris Johnson. I don't know why I said that. Be Jason. He's in Great Britain. Boy Johnson. I don't know why I said the big in Great Britain. B.J. Let's do. Yeah. Let's have a player. Haha. He's gonna throw me in the penalty box.

Long week, Dad. A long month, long year. Bantus. Stanley Cuffin. Dems the brakes. I'm gonna go to a different wheel. Oh, no. A wheel with a different set of issues. Hold on. But we're gonna do wheels.

Both wheels at the same time. Wow. This is this. Wow. A couple of wheels. We have to cut it we're going to have to hold wheels at the same time. Wow. This is a couple of wheels. We have the technical capacity. Do they have to land? I'm going to try. We're going to try. We're going to see what it lands on.

I don't know what's going to happen here. We've never spun two wheels at once, but on this one, there's the University of Florida documentary that's coming out. You have to. There's the Barry Bond's documentary that's coming out. Uh-huh. There's a Roy's top 10. Wow.

For the first time in a very long time, there's Chris Cody's opinion that six-year-old should not be allowed court side. And Zion and porn stars is also on this wheel as well. It's on both wheels. It's somehow on the first wheel. And also Jason Tatum, also on the wheel as well. It's on both wheels. It's somehow on the first wheel. And also Jason Tatum, also on the wheel, Jason Tatum asking Damien Lillard, why not Boston?

Why do you hate Boston? What's the matter? Why won't you come over here and also a president and died it for espionage? Two wheels, this is very exciting. All right, let's see if we can be cordoned. We're going to spin them both at the same time. Well, no, we're going to start one. Go ahead, gonna start one go ahead spin one Roy and we spin the other one and Billy and Billy

Billy and Billy we just didn't accept it answer Billy what did it land on right now? Marlins are back Yeah, you didn't mention oh wow I should know better than that. That is a big story locally Is it I? Feel like it is. I mean playing good baseball Taylor Swift and Maddie healy broke up. Oh, man down All anyone has on the marlins right now is, this arise is good, huh? Yeah, he's adding 400, but let's talk about celebrities and dating because the milkshake

lady's a... She keeps spinning the wheel. Shakira is, I don't know whether she's dating Louis Hamilton or Jimmy Butler both are being rumored, but those aren't even the ones you guys are interested in. No, it's not. We're interested in Taylor Swift and Maddie Healy around these parts. And I will say, if you want some journalism, Shakira was at the last heat game. So her walking back. She's been at many, she's been at many. I'm just saying just some journalism on site. But Taylor Swift and Maddie Healy, Taylor Swift and Maddie Healy. This was, I wanna say a romance for the decades, Charlotte. This was a flicker in the night.

As Taylor Swift and Maddie Healy, Maddie Healy is the lead singer of a band called the 1975 to America. A British man who is an entire bit by himself. Yes, he is, yeah, he hunter Harris who writes the newsletter hung up, described him. His face was looking like a question mark. That's right, which is the best way I could.

And he's, he's said bad things about a lot of stuff and fans were really upset about it. And fans, there was a parody account that went viral that fans were unionizing. Taylor Swift fans were going to unionize because they felt so slighted by how much work they had been doing, making friendship bracelets for her concert. And then, and she was dating someone, they didn't approve of. Yeah, they were really, really, really unhappy with this.

And it does sort of feel like Taylor Swift's fans don't only have the pull to sort of, you know, change the entire system of capitalism with ticket master, but also bully their favorite person out of being in a relationship. Because she seemed super happy based off all of the leaked photos that we were seeing and they're walking around together and he's wearing hats with her album title on it and going all of her concerts and they're saying I love you back and forth through TikTok messages without anybody actually knowing it. And you know sports fans have got to be real pissed about this

because sports fans can't get their teams to do anything. The nicks, the nicks won't sell all of that. And then Taylor's post that and her fans can get her to break up with some. So I think sports fans need to get a little more juice. Swifties. Chris Cody, please help me because I saw that a mean didn't go to the penalty box. Thanks because it's Friday.

You can do whatever you want. Think so as he's in charge around here that you can do whatever you want. So he just went and sat out the on the couch out there with Boris Sanchez. Can you send them both to the penalty box? Please have Boris Sanchez and I mean get to the penalty box. Please get them out of here. A means been a disaster. Evidently his mixer was a giant hit though, hugely popular.

And I don't think there's been a better or bigger development locally than Billy cares about hockey. Credential media member went to a final game last night. I don't care about hockey, I report on hockey. Yep. How much did you hate getting home at 1 a.m.? I didn't hate it as part of the job as a hockey journalist. It's a job, right?

Exactly right. Billy, how did it feel in overtime when that goal shook through your chest? It felt good for the fans who were there rooting for the team. For me, it felt like another day at the office. Yep. Press on 90. Did you see whether Roy was thrilled

because this Oxbox situation, you have to understand, under the best of circumstances, Roy is a solar system away from where the hockey action is. Those press boxes, there are in a different universe. It's not close to the action.

It smells atmospherically different because you're in the clouds. Well, okay. So the way that the press box is at the FLAA live arena is, it's already up there. You're all the way from home. It's all the way at the top. Yeah, it's all the way at the top. Now what happens was because so many people like myself are there to cover the event,

they closed off like the top, I don't know, 10 rows of the two sections directly next to it. So it's the same height. You're still at the exact same height as everyone else. You're just in the seats. So, and here's a non-popping take. I kind of like the auxiliary press box that's in the crowd because you kind of get a feel for the environment, which is not what you're getting in the press box. I'm with you, Billy.

I'm 100%. I had it at the World Baseball Classic. I was in the middle of bands playing like it was it was great. Roy Did you like it better? Yeah, no, he did not I'm not here for Roy. He was I'm reporting. I may have seen a fist bump after Kachak's goal Roy fist bump. Yeah, yeah, it was a is a hidden fist bump. Yes In the press big goal by Chuckie Yeah, that's how big the goal was.

In the press box. In the press box. Well, in the press. We're going to the Vegas. We're going to Vegas, yo. Yeah! Let's go!
