00:00It's the best line of pinches put out in three weeks.
00:03Let me take the win.
00:04You know, can we say that AJ was listening to the show, Mike?
00:07No, that would be an insane assertion.
00:10I'm just saying we were right and he was wrong there.
00:14It's a good, it's the best lineup you could put out.
00:17That's all I ask.
00:19And it was a simple ask.
00:21Jesus.
00:22But they did it.
00:23He's third.
00:24Watch him go over for five golden sombrero for.
00:29Four at bats, four strikeouts.
00:31And when still Perez goes deep six times, go ahead.
00:35I quit.
00:37Yeah, it's short off the bench for the walk off.
00:39Done.
00:40Yes.
00:42Guys, after this weekend, and this is a serious question.
00:46Can we say the New York Knicks are playing the best basketball of the remaining teams?
00:53No, because the East is such garbage.
00:57And mind you, there's still plus 250 to win it all.
01:01The real war is in the West.
01:03So I'm going to say that because the Western Conference finals and the Western Conference
01:08overall superior, the games look different.
01:11Right.
01:11But hear this.
01:13The East is garbage.
01:14And they've treated the East like garbage.
01:17Okay.
01:17It's like, let's say if San Antonio was in the East, we would say, oh, well, of course
01:22you were going to dominate that way because you're so much better.
01:24Yeah, I can go with that.
01:25Then yes.
01:26You convinced me.
01:27I'm in.
01:29David.
01:31Sure.
01:33I just, the West is so good.
01:37It's tough, though, because, okay, C's now dealing with injuries.
01:41San Antonio's dealing with injuries.
01:43So are they really playing at their best?
01:46I don't know.
01:47But not their fault.
01:48Yeah, you're right.
01:48So I'll say yes, the Knicks are playing the best.
01:53Boy.
01:54David, that was painful for you.
01:56Okay.
01:57To give the Knicks credit, yes, it is.
01:59All right.
01:59Well, let's stick with basketball.
02:00It is, they're annoying.
02:02Their fans are worse.
02:03Oh, my goodness.
02:04Great.
02:04Another two weeks.
02:05I got to look at Timothy Chamolet acting like a 12-year-old who's lovestruck.
02:09Oh, Jalen, Jalen.
02:11Grow up.
02:13Ben Stiller, yeah.
02:15Oh, please.
02:15Hey, cat, can I get a photo?
02:17Hey, Spike, nice backpack.
02:19What are you, 12?
02:21Oh, no.
02:23Oh, God.
02:24Stephen A, I'm sure, is quite happy.
02:27You know he's going to show up in the finals.
02:30Great.
02:31I can't wait for them to lose the finals now.
02:33They think they won it already.
02:35Let's go over to the West.
02:37Can we say the West is going to go seven games?
02:45Yeah.
02:46Yeah, I can do that.
02:48Look, these two, while I still think the Thunder are better, you lose a second-team All-NBA guy like
02:54Jalen Williams, you're going to hurt.
02:57Now, they're deep, they're talented, but I'm going to say yes.
03:01I just, the way this series has gone, it feels like a war, and the home court will play out.
03:07But, yeah, I'll go with seven.
03:08See, what you just said is why I'm not ready to say seven.
03:12Missing Jalen Williams, the Spurs win the night, it could be over in six.
03:16So I'm not ready to say seven right now because of the injury.
03:19I want to see what they look like tonight.
03:21But that's why he asked the question, too.
03:22I know, I know.
03:23He's a ball break.
03:24I know.
03:24And, David, the fact that each is shown, we can win at the other place.
03:29That's true.
03:29So it's not like, oh, we're at home, so we're invincible.
03:32No, not really.
03:35Guys, can we say, and Kenny, this one's for you, that Mitch Marner has changed his image.
03:43He's a playoff Mitch now.
03:45Yeah, classic change of scenery.
03:47He looks like a different guy.
03:48He's in a different system.
03:49He's in a different program.
03:50He looks like he actually wants to be there.
03:52I don't think he ever wanted to be in Toronto for as long as he was.
03:55And I think that plays a big part of how he's playing much, much better than we ever expected.
04:00So could we expect the same thing with the Pistons?
04:03I mean, the Pistons.
04:03The Wings go after a certain Maple Leaf?
04:06No, because they won't.
04:09Because they're chickens.
04:12They're not going to do it.
04:13I agree with Mike.
04:14I think you're spot on with that.
04:15I don't think they have the Stones to do it.
04:17No, no, we don't need him.
04:18We're going to go get Frank McCann.
04:22I mean, I'm just watching what he's out there doing for Vegas.
04:25I know.
04:25It's like, first of all, when did Vegas become this powerhouse?
04:29Bobby McMahon?
04:30Yeah.
04:30The minute they joined the league.
04:33That's when.
04:35NHL is key with the change of scenery, guys.
04:37That's all that that is.
04:37So you don't want to be an original six.
04:39You want to be a last six.
04:41Pretty much.
04:41The way they've doctored the rules, you can enter the league and be good.
04:45You want to be Florida, Vegas, or Dallas, or teams that don't have a state tax.
04:49That's what you want to be.
04:50All right.
04:51So that's how you know you're a poverty league, by the way.
04:53Your players don't make enough money.
04:55They're factoring in tax savings.
04:57Come to the NBA.
04:58You make it 60 a year.
04:59It doesn't matter.
05:02Only in hockey.
05:03Actually, you'll save $7.
05:06Well, you know what?
05:08We can save you $37,000 if you sign with this team.
05:13All right.
05:14Speaking of image changing.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Well, James Harden still went full James Harden and did James Harden like things.
05:22Can we say that Karl-Anthony Towns is changing his image?
05:30No.
05:31No.
05:32This is, look, there's too much resume on the other side for this one run to change it where
05:40he's not the main actor.
05:42Now, again, the change to Mike Brown, a more offensive-minded coach, having Cat be more
05:48of a facilitator out high, not as much of a premium shooter, it's allowed them to play
05:54better.
05:54But if anything, it shows he can't be Batman.
05:58He can't even be Robin.
06:01So, I'm going to say no to that.
06:03Just me.
06:04No hill I'm dying on.
06:06Go ahead, David.
06:07I think I agree because this run here for the Knicks is all about the Villanova 3.
06:12It has nothing to do with Cat.
06:13Oh, what about the Novinicks?
06:15He's a compliment to them.
06:18He is, but he's going out there.
06:20The double, like, everything we wanted Jalen Dern to do, Cat Williams is actually getting
06:26it done.
06:27He's going out there.
06:28He's scoring, like I said, getting, you know, 10 to 15 rebounds a night, going out there
06:33scoring 16 to 24.
06:34Yeah, but his role before was he had to go out there and score for them.
06:38Right.
06:39He had to do that.
06:40Now he's doing everything else.
06:42And then if I score, cool.
06:44Okay.
06:44All right.
06:45All right.
06:47Can we say that even though he's not going to get any jail time, that Wander Franco will
06:53never play in the Major League Baseball again?
06:55That is correct.
06:57What wild story.
06:58And we don't have enough time to really unpack it all.
07:01But now the only person going to jail is the victim's mother.
07:05Yeah.
07:05For fraud.
07:06It was so confusing.
07:07Very sordid.
07:08And I, we can't do that effectively in 60 seconds.
07:11So my answer is no.
07:12And we just move on.
07:13Okay.
07:14Okay.
07:15All right.
07:15I'll leave it to you.
07:15It's too complex, man.
07:17This is something new, but can we say that social media may not be the best thing for
07:25athletes, human beings, when there's questionable things going on.
07:31And if you're Terry on Arnold, I guess on your birthday, you put on your Instagram of you
07:36in a private jet with jewelry and bling in your mouth over teeth.
07:42Oh, God.
07:43And dude, you make like 1.5 million a year.
07:45You can't afford that life.
07:48Go ahead.
07:48Listen.
07:49I mean, here.
07:49I can't believe I'm quoting this guy as some scion of knowledge, but have you ever heard
07:53Fat Joe talk about like going broke on private jets?
07:57Like if Don Cartagena can't afford it, you can't afford it.
08:02You don't make enough money.
08:05Didn't, didn't you almost go to jail because of a bunch of stolen jewelry?
08:09Yep.
08:09Now you're flexing jewelry.
08:11What are we doing?
08:22You know what I'm saying.
08:24Right.
08:24That's what I'm saying.
08:25I'm like, you got like, you have to be Drake to afford that life.
08:29Well, I guess he treated himself for his birthday.
08:31That's what it looks like.
08:33Why don't you treat yourself to an interception?
08:38And even if I, you want to treat yourself, don't tell the world.
08:43Exactly.
08:43Oh, you just bought a half a million dollar piece of jewelry or whatever Rico just said.
08:47Here's an idea.
08:49Don't make yourself a target.
08:51Again.
08:54I'll just leave it alone.
08:55I just tell you, he don't make that kind of money.
08:58I'm with you.
08:59Mahomes, he gets to fly private.
09:01You, you're missing two zeros.
09:03You do not get to fly private.
09:09David, have you seen it?
09:11The photos?
09:12I'm, I have not seen it.
09:13Can I see it?
09:14Let me pull up the photos for you, Michael.
09:17This is only going to upset me, but go ahead.
09:19Let me see what we're working with here.
09:22This is really going to act.
09:23You want to do just as bad as prom season photos?
09:26I'm guessing.
09:26Yeah.
09:28Okay.
09:28Here, here we go.
09:29Here we go.
09:30Here we go.
09:31Oh, we're fine.
09:31We're here till six.
09:32He's on his jet.
09:35I mean, okay.
09:36Maybe, maybe he got the jet on trade.
09:38Why are we flexing?
09:40Oh, dear God.
09:41Okay.
09:41No need for it.
09:42There's no need for it.
09:43Look, even, even if he had somebody do him a solid or maybe he got some form of trade for
09:47the, for the ride.
09:49Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:51The, the jewelry.
09:52It's, it's drives me crazy.
09:54It's like when players who get drafted in like 23rd overall.
09:57Oh my Lanta.
09:59Okay.
09:59It's worse than I see.
10:00It's, it's, it's, it, you, you shouldn't do that because we're in this era also where
10:03athletes have been getting robbed.
10:05He just got robbed.
10:07Oh, big bond.
10:09I was, I was trying to, okay.
10:13No, the whole point.
10:13It's like when an athlete gets drafted 24th overall, I just bought mom a house and matching
10:17Range Rovers.
10:18Son, you can't afford that.
10:21May want to wait to that second deal.
10:23Would you skip the rookie symposium?
10:24You bought mom a million dollar house.
10:26You bought her a quarter million dollars in vehicles.
10:29Uh, son, uncle Sam would like a word.
10:31What's left for you?
10:32Oh, I just, what did they skip the symposium?
10:37Yeah.
10:38Tarion didn't get drafted second overall.
10:40He got drafted like 25th.
10:43Okay.
10:44You know, if you've been robbed for your jewelry before, might not be the greatest idea to put
10:49advertising out there in the form you got even more expensive jewelry.
10:55Yeah.
10:55Yeah.
10:56I don't know.
10:57I don't think it'll leave you.
11:02All right.
11:03One last one.
11:04If I got time, Dave, I don't care.
11:06Uh, Michael, can we say that Jeremy fears junior needs to go back to MSU?
11:12I don't care.
11:13Okay.
11:13No, I just, he should go back cause he'll make more money.
11:17He's not a first round pick.
11:19Now I guess 10 anonymous GMs said, uh, he should go back to college because well, and
11:26again, now the offer should be 4 million bucks.
11:28That's the axle plan.
11:29That's what, that's what fear should get.
11:31You take the 4 million, prove your draft stock.
11:34You become a, a certified first round pick next year.
11:37If it goes right, you go on with your life, but let me be unequivocal.
11:41I don't give a rat's ass.
11:43So do whatever you want, son.
11:46Bing, bong.
11:50Knicks fans are the worst.
11:52Oh God.
11:53Oh God.
