Hey, got some NBA to talk about. Got some baseball to talk about. See my dude Lendor hitting a bomb last night. We got everything on deck today, including Shaq Diesel trivia. Let's be real. When it comes to sports, you're only my dude when you're doing good. because you know who's not my dude, Devin Williams. Not my dude. Have you guys seen the...

Aaron Judge is my dude. Have you seen the theory that Pete Alonzo broke Devin Williams? You kidding me? Be like Aaron Judge. Be like Aaron Gordon. Don't be like Devin Williams. You got to step up in big moments. I'm rooting for Devin Williams to come back and find it.

The guy's a big leager. He has the potential to be great. We know that. But he's got to be able to do it in New York. He's got to find his way. It's horrible. Yankees would be five games. up if it wasn't for his

confidence. That's what I think. His lack of confidence. But be the man. That's a big butt though. That is a big butt. It's a big if. And I love a big butt. What does I say? If my aunt had junk, you'd be my uncle. That's right. So today, on this day,

May 6, before we get into the NBA, let me tell you two things. Say, DiMaio. Let me tell you two things that have happened. Leftover tacos today. Throughout history, I was Sam. I'm going to quiz you, buddy boy. By the way, how are you, Samuel? I'm great. Thank you. Danny G. In the house?

Although I would like to see the sun here in L.A. It's been quite gray and dark and gloomy. Agreed. Agreed. We're all kind of starving for some vitamin D. Don't worry. It's going to be 93 degrees in a couple days. It's going to go from Seattle to Phoenix around here.

Now, on this day, Seis de Mayo, which we've always called it, right? Always. That's if you're on delay. So two phrases. Tell me what has happened on this day. 1937 Oh, the humanity We actually have the drop of that

Oh That's the Hindenberg Let me see if we have the Yeah, here it is Oh, the humanity Oh, I thought that was when Devin Williams Bluthal Eat again Stop it

My bet Maybe he shouldn't have been allowed to grow a beard I was going to say It's not too soon It was 1937 But do you know that happened in New Jersey I think a lot of people don't realize That happened in Jersey

Oh, the humanity I think a lot of people think that happened like in a foreign country. I think people think it happened in like Germany or Austria or like Hungary or when you realize it. Oh, it's in Jersey? Yeah, that happened in Jersey. That's like that weird fun fact about the Titanic. Like it's not that far away. We think it's somewhere in Alaska.

Titanic, I don't think it's in Alaska. It's like a Newfoundland area. People think it's like really far. It's not that far in England to the grand scheme of New York, right? Now the other one, Iowa, Sam. Yes. Did she get off the plane? I got off the plane.

plane? 21 years ago today. 21 years ago today I was dragged to a stupid party that I wish I never went to. 52 million people watched it. Did she get off the plane? I got off the plane. She got off the plane. I don't know what you're alluding to.

Danny J. Friends? Friends finale. Oh yeah, I wasn't a friend. 52 million people watched it. And the reason is yeah. The reason. That's all I remember.

Who was thank had that big song at the time. it was part of the finale. Well, I have a theory that if you have clear memories of the finale of Friends, you're probably due for a colonoscopy because that means you're at least 40 something, because that was 21 years ago back in O'Four. I was dragged to a friend's party with a bunch of people who were big fans. I'm like, this is the big finale you're all hyped about? I had no reference point, so it wasn't that much fun for me.

Do you act like that shocking? You were in your 20s, and Friends was a big show. And you were dating a hot chick. You don't think she watched Friends? Yeah, she took me to her cousin's house for a big friends party. I'm like, this sucks. I feel like Beavis and Butthead. This sucks.

You know what? You're like the Mexican Ross. Yeah, like, what am I doing here? That's like the worst show I've ever seen. You don't have to be old, Rich. Our 14-year-old a few weeks ago told her mom, I found this show streaming. It's called Friends.

Really? Great show. I mean, listen. Thanks for letting us know about it. Not my favorite of all time, but to deny the popularity of that show. And, you know, they were the first to do something pretty cool, which was they were all in it. together, right? Like they all said, we're going to make the same amount of money, which takes

away the drama. It does. And props to them, I can't believe it's been that long, to be honest, that's a major time stamp. I just didn't watch it growing up, but yeah, of course I acknowledged the popularity. So that was 21 years ago today. It's crazy. Yeah, times of flying. Do you know who wrote the theme song? The Rembrandts. Was it them? Yeah, his name was a Hank Rembrandt. I was thinking of some group named the Refreshments. No. That's that. That's another theme. There must be a local band in Iowa you grew up with.

The look that damn fire gave. You said the refreshments. Sam saw them at a carnival in Iowa. The refreshments. This is also the 20 strikeout day game for Kerry Wood. Yeah. A lot has just happened to this 30 seconds. We announced on the Doug Gottlieb show, I think, five days ago that it was the

Kerry Wood day. Really? Yeah. No, you may be right, Danny. I don't know. It says May 6, 1998. I'm just saying, but the funny thing with Iowa, Sam, is Iowa Sam loves these little tidbits that he throws in. And he was, you weren't sure about refreshments on this one.

But I so wish he would have said, and of course, that song played by the refreshments. No, I wasn't good. Not my typical smug delivery. I know what I know. Rembrandt's refreshments. is the guy you love to hate. I try not to be that guy. I love you, Sammy.

Now, listen, let's get into it. Last night, the NBA, talk about two games that looked like they were headed in a direction, and both games last night ended up going the other way. If you had turned on that Nick Celtics game, midway through the third quarter, you were thinking, all right, this is a clear Celtics game one, at home victory. You know, Nick's coming off in an emotional series

where, you know, they went to Game 7. And you're like, oh, no, not at all. Boston missed. I believe it was, Danny, check my number. Was it 287 three-pointers they missed? Yes. 40-something, though, right? NBA record.

Live by the sword, die-by-the-sword sort of thing. They just threw up three-pointers and kept missing. That's really it. Yeah, they made 16 out of 200 attempts. Jeez. The Knicks capitalized on that. And then Jalen Brunson at the end of regulation, he probably thought, oh, I had it and blew it. But he didn't.

Went to overtime. Nix came out on top. And then last night, I had left. I had a late softball game. Oh, really quick, though. You got to mention Mikel Bridges because he, of course, on both sides of the floor ended that game. No doubt. Now, I'm at the ball field last night, late night game.

I hate those 9 o'clock games. you're like tired and you're like, oh, I got to go have a game now. All the guys are watching on their phone. And you're like, I get that's games out of reach. Look at this. Game one, OKC, one seed, better record than everyone all year round. They're going to win this one. And then slowly but surely, Denver's chipping away, goes on a little bit of a run.

And talk about mismanaging the free throw game at the end. Oh, 13.9 seconds left. And they decided, you know what? We'll play the free throw game, the foul game. game and it did not work out in their favor as Holmgren clanked those two and then of course the shot over the top of them by Gordon. But let's not forget too. You blew it.

Let's not forget too, though, both teams, Knicks and the Nuggies stole one away. Stole one away. So those are heartbreakers hard to recover from. Now, you got to ask yourself the question. Who blew it? Who blew it more? You blew it. By the way, are you quoting Billy Madison?

or Robert De Niro in Copland? See, I go Madison. I know you go De Niro. De Niro says, I gave you a chance to be a real cop and you blew it. And Stallone is like, yo, let absolutely. Why are you yelling at me? Yeah. Bobby, Bobby D.

Absolutely no. See, I go Billy Madison when Ernie's on the phone with, you know. Those are two Veronica, who and Veronica Vaughn. You blow it. But people forget the Copeland line. Very similar. So, I mean, I have my answer, and I'll let you know, and you tell me if you agree or not. You blew it.

You blew it. I'm going Sandler. Oh, Billy Mason. You blew it. That's Sandler. I think Boston could very well recover. I think the Knicks are a great team. I'm rooting for the Knicks.

I think everyone is except Dave Portnoy. Like, unless you're a Celtics fan and you're diehard, I think everyone's like Celtics won last year. They have a dynasty over the years. I felt the same way, Dan, G felt he hit us immediately with the text. You know, we're watching the game, but he hit us with, man, they're showing signs of life where it looks like they really could win. They might have that chance to win.

And we haven't said that in a long time about the Knicks. There's the Celtics fans that are still saying, oh, gentlemen sweep, will you give the other team one game? And it very well could happen. The Celtics are your defending champions. But our parents grew up with the Celtics dominating. We grew up in a time of Larry Bird. We saw Kevin Garnett.

We've seen this team win throughout the. different stages. The Knicks in our lifetime have never won the Starks and Ewing days then you could say... Spreewell era. The Sprewell era. It just they can never put it together. And the Carmelo playoff run. Oh yeah.

That's right. The Carmelo era. Yeah, they had some good squads and they had some fun players to watch. So they gave you some reason to root because they had fun players and you believed in them, but they never amounted really to much. So I think that that series

is going to go six or seven regardless. That could be totally wrong. I love, they match up well. I think it's fun to watch. The Knicks are for real. But the Celtics, again, defending champions. I think they may look back at the game. That's where the series went wrong.

But I think OKC for as dominant as they were. And I know regular season at this point means nothing. But we got to remember, they were roughly 20 games better than anyone else. Like it wasn't even close. Like, their one seed status, I bet you if you look back over the last 10, 20, 30 years of the NBA. The difference between the one seed and two seed, very rarely is it that steep. Like, OKC was, they pretty much clinched the one seed like a month ago. Do we make the point, too, though, we're super pumped about this because there's nothing

really like playoff basketball. Like, the regular season is just, eh, for the most part. And then when you see how intensive gets in the playoffs, you're like, damn, why don't they play this way throughout the entire season? This next level excitement, and the analogy goes, if your woman is capable of freaky-deaky things in the bedroom, but she reserves it for holidays and your birthday and things like that, special occasions, it makes you think, well,

if you're capable of this, why not all the time? What do you do? You're naked hanging from the chandelier and, man, the stuff you do on vacation, honey. That's how the NBA playoffs makes you feel.

It's like, if the NBA is capable of this, and I understand they have to tiptoe around and not get hurt throughout the regular season. Oh, is load management your kids getting in the way? It's just such a major. contrast from playoffs to regular season. So, of course, you're pulled in and excited about it. It's the time to tune in, guys.

These games are insanely intense. I've always said that. The NBA playoffs are like hotel sex. I've said it my whole life. But it really is like amped up to a new level. That's it, really. NBA playoffs are like hotel sex. You nailed it.

And you wonder, why can't it be like this all the time? Yeah, vacation sex. Jeez. Now I'm thinking dirty thoughts. And how much I love the NBA play. Because don't tell me you don't think, why can't every day be like that? Oh. Look at you.

Prime to go. No, I'm just saying that's how you're sitting there. Because don't tell me you're not watching these games. Like, if the games were this exciting all throughout the season, you'd be a hell of a bigger NBA fan. We'd be talking about it every day. And that's how it's been pretty much our whole life. Because there's nothing like NBA playoffs. The playoffs, like I said, why is hotel sex like the NBA playoffs?

Because it's preparation that goes into it. What happens? You're going to Hawaii for a week. Your wife's at the Spog and a waxing and getting everything. It means something out of it. You're gearing up for it. I think the teams have geared up for this moment and here we are. They're going all out.

They're going all out, holding back nothing. But it's so evident, man. So evident. They're doing whatever it takes. Yeah. Now, I think O.K.C. Back to them. 20 games better than everyone else.

It was a joke how good they were in the regular season. But it seems like an easy argument to make. But again, a young team, they're playing a team. with playoff swag and experience. Yeah, you took words out of my mouth. I think it's easy. It's an easy argument to say, best team, but young team. So when you lose game one to the team that won the NBA title two years ago with your possible MVP Yokitz. Now, Yokic, SGA, are arguably your two best players. I call that a Mola Ram. You know why? No, why? Because the Nuggets took their heart

out. Galima. Kalima. Kalima. Kalima. Kalima. They took the heart out of this young team yesterday. That's how I feel about it. Could they turn it around? It be fun to see. But to me, that's a heart ripper. It was the mismanagement of the clock, right, Rich, that has the thunder winning this bad competition. Yeah, when you blow a game one, and you can think of many series in the past where one one

sort of not in the bag, but under, you know, under control and then they let it slip away. And that could really change the series. I remember there was one NBA. finals where LeBron and the Cavs had game one when LeBron was with the Cavs. They had game one under control and they let it sip away to Golden State. One of the many years they lost to the Warriors in the playoffs and the finals. But game one on the road picking up a W against OKC. That's got to give Yokic and his, you know, team and of course confidence in their coaches.

How about that look with Westbrook hitting Gordon with the open three? And you take that every time, as he said at the end of the game. like when you got that open shot, you take it and he made it coming in clutch. You got to give props to that. Again, that all comes with the composure and experience of being there before. And the Thunder, again, have their back against the wall saying, Home dumps, Shavai, home, nubh shivai, home nub shivai. And you got Aaron Gordon and Yokic being like, Kalima.

So it was heartbreaking. Heart ripped out yesterday. But, man, we reaped all the benefits because that was fun to watch as, again, a fan with no horse in the race. That's just great basketball. Yeah. So, hey, your thoughts at 87799 on Fox. If you had to say, who blew it? Which goes to show you with all the criticism, NBA still got it. You know, we spent a lot of the year like, man, it's going out to NBA. We've been, we always do that. Yeah. But when it comes playoff time, so exciting. Yeah. And I know, Rich, you were making that case,

you know, on our Patreon about hockey as well. But, man, some great, great games yesterday. And again, we'll take your feedback. So is your question, who blew it more? The Celtics or the Thunder? Man, that's a good one. I'd have to say the Thunder because more on the line and at stake for them to come back when the Celtics have that experience and have that confidence in the interbelief of we've been there before and we got this and we're the champs.

I think more for them, more props to them. I think the Thunder are in a tougher spot. It's almost like a mulligan. and like, Celtics have been there, like, oh, we'll start over fresh now. So I'm going to say my answer to Thunder blew it more. And the Thunder haven't been this confident and, you know, projected to be this good. The Thunder also were in position to win. Like the Knicks had a chance at the end of regulation with a shot to win that Brunson's just didn't go down.

Granted, the Celtics missed a shot prior, but Knicks could have got the ball back. But it seemed the Thunder were in prime spot and let the Nuggets hang around a little bit more than they should. made some bad decisions of the final seconds, and it comes back to bite him. You know, for, you know, for serious XM, Kavino and I do some music stuff over there. He's on the rock channels. I'm on the pop channels.

And not to break the glass, once in a while, I record stuff early, you know, for the next day, if I'm busy. And I had to go back and change things because when that game, before I left for softball last night, late night, I'm like,

a 10 point lead, second half. You took a chance? I did the old, hey, and congrats last night. night. You were counting chickens for fun. You know, congrats to the Knicks and congrats to the Thunder. And then I had to go back and be like, oh, let me change that. Wow. I think we've all done that in broadcasting. I think you also

have to give props to not only, you know, Aaron Gordon and Murray and the usual suspects, Yokich, but Russell Westbrook's energy throughout this run has been really contagious too. I think he's playing with a lot of contagious energy, keeping the team hype, making great decisions.

We saw that last night. It just, again, it's just something I'm noticing playing with the next level intensity. I also do want to say Danny G is right that it happened the Kerrywood game. It did happen how many years ago?

1997 years ago today. Jay Stu qualified it as saying that when he brought it up last week he was saying this was the week that the carrywood game happened. Oh, anniversary week. Do you guys don't have it eight years ago today?

Eight years would be 2017. Yeah. On this day. Sports or pop culture related? Neither. Iowa, Sam, do you know? Eight, no. Yeah.

Well, it's my anniversary. I got married. Eight years ago today. It's an anniversary. Happy anniversary. I heard you, uh, your wedding band, the refreshments. Yeah. They're delicious.

They're great. They're great. And thanks for getting, thanks for. Forgeting, Sam. I appreciate that. Dan just told me this, like, within the hour, I said, oh, how many years are you celebrating? Eight years.

And I flopped on that. I looked up the refreshments. They wrote the song called Yahoo's and Triangles, which is the theme song in the King of the Hill. So it was two bands that started with R.E., two 90s shows. And I just got him confused. Yeah, but let's not overlook what Dan Bayer just said.

Not about the Thunder, not about the Celtics. We wouldn't know it was DB's anniversary. But that was just to prove that Iowa Sam didn't care or listen to something he said. Within the last hour. 100%. Dan, how many years did you say eight? And then I just forgot it.

Just went out one year, in one year? Just did not care. I did care. Happy anniversary, though, D.B. Thank you. That is pretty cool, man. Eight years ago today. Any big plans?

Some hibachi tonight or what? Leftover tacos and margaritas. I said, I go, we're going to go to a habachi or we're going to watch a Rocky Marathon. That's what we're going to do. Two things she's ever done. I love that. DB, enjoy your anniversary.

Thank you guys. The NBA playoffs. You said, your anniversary. Have fun. You know what that means? Dan's having some fun tonight. I know. Have fun, DB.

Again, I'm going Sandler. That's my De Niro. You like that? Celtics or OKC. We'll take your feedback. But I want to say there's a viral clip going around today. Oh, the crabs in the air fryer? No, but that's weird.

I did see that. Crabbs in the air, live crabs in the air friar sweep in the nation. People think they're crying, but they're not. They don't have vocal cords, but it looks like these crabs are like, but it still seems extra cruel for whatever reason. I mean, throw you in it. Is it how many Don Zimmer's, can 100 Don Zimmer's beat one Pedro Martinez? I do love that.

That's my favorite new hypothetical. How many, yeah, could 100 Zimmers as one Pedro? I got it broken. down for you. Can a hundred Don Zimmer's beat one Pedro Martinez because Don Zimmer was 72 at the time, which put it in perspective. That's like our dad's age now. He looked way old. Right. And Pedro was 31 in 2003. So could a 172-year-old Don Zimmer's beat one, 31 healthy Jerry Curl having Pedro Martinez in his prime? I'm going to say, I'm taking the Zimmers, especially if he's wearing those army helmets. Remember Don Zimmer with. the Army helmet in the dugout. He's kind of like a rhino. I think it would take 15 Zimmers to beat up a

Pedro. Me too, yeah. Okay, I have a new one for you guys. I came up with this one. Could 100 Robin Venturas beat one Nolan Ryan? Oh, no, yeah, yeah. I think you need to like three of them. Three of them.

No, I was going to say a viral video today. And it's the ultimate in, as they say, F around and find out. Oh, boy. At the Pirates game. And again, all this is a legend and what we're just seeing from a YouTube clip. So what do we know the real story?

But apparently, some fan was, you know, annoying some female fans. The Usher steps in and they take it to the concourse. And this fan, bearded dude, spits in this guy's face. Ooh, ultimate insult. Keep spitting. Wow. This dude working at the stadium has the look on his face like,

I've had enough. Yeah, I mean, that's... I mean, what's more insulting than that? Not only does he go to punch this guy and punch him. He stands up, you know, he's in his, takes his belt down. He's like, yeah, mother, it starts whipping the guy. This guy has been suspended from P&C and the pirates. But I'll tell you what, man, you're working at a stadium,

probably not making the greatest wage, and someone thinks they could spit at you. I think that's worthy to lose your cool. I think it's worthy to lose your cool. I'd say he was pretty kind busting out the belt, and I think that's kind of funny, actually. He got whooped his ass What the fan needed.

Specifically, who got PNC suspended the employee? The employee, yes. But you know what, Sam? A lot of times people think because someone work somewhere, they could do whatever they want. Let me tell you a quick story. I was working in New York City. And behind the counter was some like young hustling Latino kid.

Was this when you worked at the sex shop? Sex shop. Where in New York City? This is in Midtown. This is a little deli, a little place. You weren't working. You're just there. Yeah.

I'm going to get a little muffin and a coffee. And the guy behind the counter, young kid on his hustle, some dushy corporate banker guy is like, oh, my muffin and coffee, please. And he starts mouthing off to this kid. And this kid eventually was like, yo man, you can't talk to me like that. He hops over the counter,

rips off his little pastry shirt he had. He had a tank top on, and he was all tatted up. He's like, yo, man, let's go. Respectfully, my guy, let's go. And I remember thinking like, yeah, just because someone's on the other side of the counter, people are so bold. Especially when they don't care about their job.

It's some part-time nonsense. You know, this guy's like, yo, you think I care about this job? I'm going to let you disrespect my mama for a part-time job. And all I kept thinking was like, I got a front row seat. I just watched. Dude, I used to sit at a broadcast booth at every live show broadcast. Remember I tell you the payoff to that story, though? the dushy corporate guy

back down and he's like well you're lucky I gotta go I have a very important meeting and he ran away and he ran away I'm a meeting with very important people I'm an important meeting with very important people

so yeah he's straightened up real quick but you we forget sometimes they did the beat it dance when they weren't really fighting they were just like sort of dancing around but Danny you've noticed that right like sometimes people talk to an employee as if like oh yeah we've all seen the viral eclipse of

McDonald's some McDonald's employees jumping over to the other side of the counter. Yeah. People don't care. They think because you're behind a counter that they could say what they want, as if you can't reach over and punch them in the nose. Again, you're risking your job. But again, I'd be at a live broadcast.

I don't know. I'd be at corn at Madison Square Garden. And there would be fans coming up to like, you guys suck. Your radio station sucks. And they would take all their anger out on me. I'm just sitting there like at a broadcast. You don't know how many times I just wanted to step over and karate kick him, but my job was too important to me. I looked at it like a career.

I know those rules of what we could say and can say on Fox Sports Radio. People say what they want. But I will say this. Sam, get the finger on the button in case I say something, because I know there's rules about bathroom stuff. Kvino has a story where some disgruntled rock fan was like, K-Rock sellout, you're mainstream. The guy climbed on top of Kvino's K-rock van, pulled down his pants, on the hood of the car. On the car, yeah.

He said they were the number two station in town. Yes, the number two station. Yeah, because a lot of those college stations in New Jersey is WSOU. They have their metal fans that looked at like terrestrial commercial radio as like, you guys suck. But it's wild to think that because someone's working, there's an odd feeling like you could be terribly rude to them. I thought that guy worked at KRAP. I'm not sure.

That's a good word. I like this. It was that woman from Delco actually. I don't know if you saw that. Yeah, Dan Byrd. That's a good about, Ollie. That was really great. Yeah, with that, Dan Byer, let's get to your update.

Who blew it more to wrap it up? Was it OKC? number one seed who let a late lead get away or is it the Celtics at home 20 point lead. I'm saying it's the thunder because they can't afford to lose a game like that. Yeah, what's up, man?

My turn to speak now? I mean, yeah, you got it. I mean, with that Mr. Chirin'Hartner attitude person. So I'm going to say the Celtics because of the defending chance, they should have known better. Yeah, but also when a team is a defending champs, there's a sense of like they have the composure

to bounce back in game two. and composure or not, yeah, let it get to that. Where OKC might say, oh, man, like, it might be in their head that, like, we're younger. They won the NBA title two years ago. Even if there's that little subconscious thought in the back of their head. By the way, C-Section Jim came in hot. I think he was kidding around. You were joking, right?

I don't know. I'm still here. Oh, man, geez. Someone's Chonies are. Can to finish, can't-of-finish. Someone's chonies are all in a bunch right now. Love you, C-section, Jim. Yeah.

As we get ready for Shaq Diesel trivia next hour, your chance to win a Swigie, the coveted Swiggy, by answering some multiple choice questions. But any final thoughts on who blew it,

Rich? Who blew it? I gave you my answer. I feel like you didn't give your answer. You posed questions. Oh, I said, OKC blew it because, oh, I thought you were saying, okay, see. I didn't know. I thought you kicked into old school gangster. Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. If you thought I was pretending to be a gangster from the 1920s, my apologies. My answer is okay, see. It's because with SGA and that, you know, they're younger than the Nuggets.

So there's a part of me that thinks just because you're a superstar athlete does not mean you're immune to subconscious pressure. Yeah, we agree with. You know, you might have been 20 games better than everyone in the regular season. And SGA is arguably your MVP. Him or Yokic, right? So what do you think about what Dan Patrick

was talking about today about guys like Aaron Gordon being in the Hall of Good? The Hall of Very Good. Not a Hall of Famer, but moments like he had last night put him in the Hall of Very Good. He's a champion. He's had some clutch shots. You and I invented this, so as much as I love Dan Patrick. In fact, he's one of the guys we look up to very much.

But you and I for years have been saying every sports hall of fame. That's a very rocky Balboa statement. It's like one of the guys we look up to very much. I look up to him very much. I look up to very much. No, but I think for years, for years, I know we're not alone, but you and I have been saying that every Hall of Fame, music, sports, anything, should have a wing where it's not necessarily dedicated to the greatest,

but sometimes the greatest moments. Like in the Rock and Roll Hall fame, there should be a one-hit wonder section. In the world of sports, there should be a section where it's like, yo, this play meant so much. Like a Tyree. It's a Hall of Fame moment.

Like David Tyree. He's not a Hall of Fame player, but that moment is a Hall of Fame moment. So, yeah, the Hall of Moments, it should be a wing. I agree. And Gordon has a few of those. Yeah, there's big game players. And I, you know, since I'm the number one coach here in Fox Sports Radio, I talk to my kids about, I talked to my kids about being big game players because we started doing, you know, our playoffs for the girls, softball, my daughter.

And I'm like, yeah, girls, in baseball, in women's basketball, basketball for men, you know, there's something as a big game player where in games like this, you step it up because you see it in every level, right? I love players that thrive under the bright lights in those pressure moments, the big shot Bobby's of the world. I mean, to me, it just says so much about who you are to be able to step up when it counts. I mean, to perform well when it doesn't matter, yeah, good for you. But it's a next level accomplishment when it matters. Now, I wanted to bring up one thing, and then I know we're going to talk about times you covered

for someone in a big spot. There's a couple stories. But, Kavino, I think I told you this once before. Is it okay to teach little kids to play angry? In today's world, I don't know. These weenie parents? of today. I have decided my son yesterday.

We're doing a little batting practice in the yard. I say yes, but I'd say be careful. So I'm trying, I think I'll tell you what I did. Pass along a little info to some of the other parents coaching. So I realized my son got really mad at my daughter. He picked up a baseball and threw it to me with the speed and intensity. He's never thrown a baseball before. Play man.

I go do that again. That's why. I'm mad. I go throw mad. I go pick up every ball there and throw it to me mad. Yo, dude, he threw it twice as far as he does when he's playing around in T-ball. And I go, yo, show me a mad swing. He takes a bat.

He's like, ma'ha. Isn't this the teaching methods of Coach Klein from the water boy? Do you think you're an original? Didn't he tell, didn't he tell the water, Bobby Boucher the water stinks? Yeah. Yeah. Well, there sucks. Yeah.

It really sucks. This guy is trying to sell Coach Klein's playbook. That's happened already. So wait, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. You tell him me, that I'm taking a page out of our buddy Henry Winkler's playboy. Oh, there sucks. I see Iowa Hawkeyes in the field, too. All Henry Winkler's head with the Iowa universe.

So it's the best part of the movie, and he thinks he invented it. I thought I did. I guess not, but what I'm angry. What I told my son was, and I'm going to tell the other boys on my team, on my kids' teabal team. Does that make your son Bobby Boucher? Yeah, so I told them, I go, I go, give me the Hulk. I go, who's angry? He goes to Hulk.

I go, all right, Hulk throw. Incredible Hulk. You don't realize sometimes that kids are half-ass in it until you tell them like, come on. I like that. They don't understand the word hustle or intensity. They understand that. More CNR.
