SportsTranscript
00:00All right, game two tonight, we were talking about Knicks Spurs.
00:05It's probably about an 840 tip in San Antonio.
00:09The number is a little higher than game one.
00:11The Spurs were about four and a half point favorites in game one.
00:14They're six and a half point favorites tonight.
00:17Minus 225 on the money.
00:19I mean, if you're going to give me the Knicks catching six and a half points
00:22as hot as they've been of late, I feel like that's, I mean, again,
00:26I'm a big mush, almost to the level of Mike Marmush.
00:30But it seems like a lot of points to give the Knicks.
00:33Seems like it based on what happened in game one.
00:35Yeah, I think the Spurs might stomp them tonight.
00:37But they were down 14 at one point.
00:38I'll make a side bet with you.
00:40What's the side bet?
00:42He'll give you six and a half.
00:43I'll take the Spurs laying six and a half.
00:45Okay, I'll take the Knicks, bust the number.
00:47All right, put it in the book for six and a half.
00:49Six dollars and fifty cents?
00:51We're really going to test the Knicks win streak if Cakes is betting on them.
00:55Yeah, right.
00:56I just feel like that's a copious amount of points.
00:59Yes, and I'm happy to take it.
01:01It is, but this is a must win, pretty much a must win.
01:04Yeah, they're a desperate team.
01:05They're on their home court.
01:06They lost game one.
01:08They trailed in the previous series, too.
01:11Wemby, in particular, is getting a little criticism for the way he played in game one.
01:18I think they stomp them.
01:20I just went to Kalshi.
01:21Yeah.
01:22The Knicks are trading at 33%.
01:25Okay.
01:26Well, we'll see.
01:27If you go on Kalshi, 100 bucks nets you 304.
01:30I mean, they have won 12 straight in the postseason, but 13 is, I mean, to keep winning in the
01:34postseason,
01:35it's difficult to do, especially on the road.
01:37But if they do pull it off, that's pretty much a wrap.
01:40By the way, we were talking about that dum-dum fan that came out on the court in game one.
01:45Yeah.
01:46I don't know how old he is.
01:48He looked young.
01:48He looked like he was 18 or 20.
01:50But he's been banned from every NBA arena for life.
01:54I mean, that's...
01:55And also, someone else that was sitting with him was also banned for life.
01:59I don't know what he did.
02:00I thought it was just the one guy who ran on the court.
02:03That's a pretty big ban.
02:04I mean, he's...
02:04If he's 20 years old, if he lives to, say, 85, that's a 65-year ban.
02:10Well, that's...
02:11How do they enforce it?
02:13How do they enforce it?
02:14Facial recognition?
02:15Right.
02:15But when he gets older, he's not going to look like he's 18.
02:18But also, how many arenas actually use facial recognition when you walk in?
02:23No idea.
02:24I don't know how that works.
02:25Matt, any idea how that works where they can ban a guy from 18 to the rest of his life?
02:32Well, I'm sure he could...
02:34There's ways to sneak in.
02:35But they have facial recognition.
02:36They have the ticketing information, everything like that.
02:39Yeah.
02:41But he could get a ticket from somebody else.
02:43They'll get him.
02:43People are banned all the time.
02:45They can't go.
02:45They'll figure him out.
02:46I guess...
02:47I'm sure they do.
02:47I'm sure he could sneak in for a little bit.
02:49I'm sure they've got a great security system.
02:51But I think they're trespass orders.
02:52So if he is found to be on one...
02:54Yeah, go to jail.
02:55He'll go to jail.
02:56Straight to jail with him.
02:57All for those attention dollars.
02:59And he didn't even get a good selfie.
03:00AD grab was big.
03:02But you're right.
03:02Wemby leaned in and smiled.
03:04Mitchell Robinson just kind of was clueless as to what was going on.
03:08Well, it's also kind of alarming when you're out there that you've got security ringing the floor.
03:14And you don't expect a fan incursion in the middle of the game.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Like, it's off-putting.
03:20It's kind of scary.
03:21You don't know if a fan has a weapon.
03:23They didn't seem too stressed about that little munchkin.
03:25Any idea what the other guy did?
03:27I don't know.
03:28Because there was another fan that was...
03:30Maybe he's getting punished because he facilitated it.
03:32Maybe, yeah.
03:33Or distracted a security guard or...
03:35Yeah, maybe.
03:36Had a hand in it.
03:37It doesn't say in the story exactly what he did, but he was also banned.
03:39Did you see B-Dubs take an L yesterday?
03:42No.
03:43What happened?
03:43Because of the fan who ran on the court.
03:45B-Dub, Buffalo Wild Wings tweeted,
03:47Internet, help us find the banned fan.
03:50He can watch the rest of the finals at B-Dubs on us.
03:54I did see that they offered that.
03:56Are they just getting dragged for offering him?
03:58Oh, completely dragged.
04:00Everyone's calling them unserious.
04:01You're rewarding this type of behavior.
04:03Yeah.
04:04What the guy did was idiotic, illegal, and could have hurt somebody.
04:07Well, again, A.D. grabbed by B-Dubs.
04:09They just wanted to get their name out there, and they did.
04:12B-Dubs.
04:13You can't win them all because they got bottomless appetizers right now.
04:15Yeah, $10.
04:16That's kind of silly.
04:18For the budget conscious, that's a big deal.
04:20Mike's going to have a...
04:21Mike Marr's going to have a huge happy hour tonight slash into the evening
04:27because he's got a bunch of guys coming to his house.
04:30I don't think they're staying at the house, but they're coming over for happy hour.
04:33Yeah, one of my roommates went to Penn State, and he's born and raised in Pittsburgh,
04:35so all of his hometown friends are coming in for the weekend.
04:39It's going to be wild.
04:40There's, what, seven to ten, right?
04:42Yeah, I think there's eight of them, and then there's a dog.
04:45Oh, they're bringing a dog.
04:46We have a dog at our house.
04:48What kind of dog is spending the weekend with you?
04:50I have no clue.
04:51The dog that we have, though, is a Beagle-Pitbull mix.
04:53Ah, okay.
04:54Very good.
04:55I hope he's ready for a roommate over the weekend.
04:57Hey, Matt Cahill, I think, I know you pay attention to the French Open.
05:02I've been paying attention as well.
05:03Men's side, it's not very sexy.
05:06You've got the semifinals starting in about two hours.
05:09It's going to be Mensik against Verev in the first semifinal.
05:14Arnoldi and Gaboli in the second, which will start around 1 o'clock, 1.30.
05:18You've got the two seed, you've got a 26 seed, you've got a 10 seed and an unseeded.
05:23But the story, I think, is awesome is on the women's side.
05:26Because on the women's side, the championship is, is the championship tomorrow?
05:31Yeah, championship tomorrow.
05:33Maria Andriva will play.
05:35She's the eight seed.
05:35She's a Russian teenager.
05:37She's a great player.
05:37She's going to play a qualifier, Maja Cholowinska, who's Polish.
05:44She's 24.
05:44She almost quit tennis a couple years ago because she just couldn't win any matches.
05:47She basically was playing on a minor league tour, the ITF.
05:52She's a qualifier.
05:53She had to win three qualifying matches just to get to the main draw.
05:56That's pretty insane.
05:57It's unheard of.
05:58It's unbelievable.
05:59Pretty crazy.
06:00She was ranked 114 in the world.
06:02Now she's in the French Open final.
06:03Right.
06:05She has been on the tour for a while.
06:07She's older, has been trying to make it.
06:09Yeah.
06:10In 10 years, playing tennis, professional tennis, she's made $800,000.
06:15Right.
06:15Right.
06:17And if she wins.
06:17Now, cut that out.
06:18Tennis players have to pay for their own travel.
06:20Yeah.
06:20Coaches.
06:21Hotels.
06:22She's broke.
06:23She's like, she has $0.
06:23She's operating at a loss.
06:24Yeah.
06:25And now she's in the French Open final.
06:27It's an unbelievable.
06:28That is a great story.
06:29I think she's gotten to 1.6 mil to get for the final.
06:32Now she's made $1.6 million this tournament.
06:35Right.
06:35And if she wins, she gets $3.2 million, I believe.
06:37Yes.
06:38I mean, that's just a massive.
06:40You got to root for her.
06:41Yeah.
06:41She's clearly the person that everybody's not related to.
06:45I mean, qualifier?
06:45Yeah.
06:46That's a great story.
06:48Yeah.
06:48By the way, I have my own big money riding on the French Open this morning.
06:54Yeah.
06:54Because I put a $5 bet on Mensik to win the French when he was a 300 to one shot
06:59at the
07:00beginning of the tournament.
07:00Oh, wow.
07:01And he's in the final.
07:02He's in the semifinals.
07:03That is a big sweat.
07:04If he goes to the, if he wins, he's a big underdog today.
07:08He's plus 300 against Erev.
07:10But it pays out $1,500.
07:13You going to hedge a little bit?
07:15Hedge?
07:15You can't really hedge right now.
07:16Okay.
07:17I mean, you could, but.
07:18Wish you luck on that.
07:19I could cash out.
07:20Hope it hits.
07:20What's the cash out?
07:22$166 or something.
07:23All right.
07:24Five into one.
07:25You turned five bucks into $166.
07:28Nice, but.
07:29You're going for the big score.
07:31Going for the golden ring.
07:32Like big scores.
07:33I understand.
07:34All right.
07:34So we'll root for him.
07:35That's the first match, correct?
07:37Yeah.
07:38830.
07:38Are you and Drab out on lotteries?
07:42You haven't talked about that much.
07:43I'm mostly out at this point.
07:45Unless it's a huge jackpot.
07:47I'm telling you, like them raising the prices of lottery tickets has pretty much squashed
07:53by casual buying of lottery tickets.
07:56I'm almost all the way out.
07:58Yeah.
07:58But I'm not, I've never been out, but they're not, unless it's like 700 billion now.
08:05Yeah.
08:06It's tough for me.
08:06Or millions.
08:07Yeah.
08:07I should say.
08:08It's tough for me to pay attention.
08:09I'm kind of with you.
08:10Like I, I drove by, I saw the, the light up sign.
08:13I think the one was for 250.
08:15The other was like 370.
08:17And I just, I just looked at it like, it's nothing.
08:21It's not, it's not spurring me to make a purchase.
08:24Okay.
08:25Meanwhile, if you won $500 at 745 on the junkies, you'd be fired up.
08:30I'm pumped.
08:31I'd love it.
08:32And we are doing MLB trivia, 745, your chance to win 500 bucks.
08:35So bone up on your MLB trivia.
08:37Get ready.
08:38Speaking of millions, Virginia Tech got a $20 million donation, anonymous donation about
08:43two months ago.
08:45Man, I didn't know you went that deep.
08:46Very benevolent of you.
08:48Yeah, right.
08:50Believe me, I donated over six years.
08:52Sure.
08:52But they just got a $75 million donation on top of that.
08:56So they've got 95 million coming in.
08:59The majority of that's going to athletics.
09:01It's anonymous.
09:02Who knows who's donating?
09:03It's from some family that had a bunch of people go to.
09:05Go to Tech.
09:06Right.
09:06But that's massive.
09:08That's something that Brent Pryde never got in his four years at Virginia Tech.
09:11Yeah, he's salty about that.
09:12He didn't get $95 million.
09:13No.
09:14But he's still on the staff.
09:14Still on the staff.
09:15He's the D coordinator, which is a weird bit.
09:17He got fired as head coach.
09:18Never happens.
09:19Stayed on the staff and is the D coordinator.
09:21But James Franklin is pulling in all kinds of money with donations.
09:26And his first recruiting class was pretty good, right?
09:28Damn good.
09:28Yeah.
09:29It was probably a top 20 class.
09:31I mean, not to one-up the Virginia Tech donation because it was amazing.
09:36I also saw that Jimmy Hasselman, his wife, gave $130 million to the University of Tennessee.
09:44That's a gift.
09:45$130 million.
09:46How much is Jimmy Hasselman worth?
09:47Well, he's got to be worth multi-billions.
09:49You're giving a gift of $130 million?
09:51I mean, I don't know his net worth.
09:53I know that I'm pretty sure I know how he made his money.
09:56He owns a bunch of those giant truck stops that are all over the Southeast.
10:01Pilot Travel Centers, I believe.
10:03I don't know what that is.
10:04Pilot Flying J Travel Centers.
10:06I think that's how he made his fortune.
10:09So I'm guessing he's an NFL owner.
10:12He has to be a multi-billionaire.
10:13But remember that Virginia Tech, who historically had backed off giving a lot of money to their athletic programs.
10:19Yeah.
10:20They just thought that the name could win.
10:22Right.
10:22The name and the talent.
10:24But they agreed to spend $228 million over the next four years.
10:28This is one reason, probably the main reason James Franklin took the job.
10:31Right.
10:32So $228 million that the school is going to pay towards athletics over the next four years.
10:36Now you double that up with the $95 million that they're going to get from donations.
10:44Man, that's big for them.
10:46That's great.
10:47And the majority of that will, of course, go to football.
10:50Jimmy Haslam also owns the Columbus Crew.
10:52Okay.
10:52And a stake in the Milwaukee Bucks.
10:55His oldest brother was the former governor of Tennessee and owner of the Nashville Predators.
11:00Okay.
11:01So pretty fucking family.
11:02And his former roommate at the University of Tennessee became a U.S. Senator.
11:06Yeah.
11:06Pretty connected dude.
11:07So two games in the NHL Stanley Cup final have, I believe, added up to about 16 goals.
11:15I think there was nine in the first.
11:17And last night was 4-3 overtime.
11:19Carolina gets a win.
11:21Must win.
11:21Because they lost game one.
11:23So now it's 1-1 going to Vegas.
11:26They won it in overtime 4-3.
11:27And Vegas got out to a two-goal lead, kind of like Carolina did in the first game.
11:31And then they squandered it.
11:33There was a controversial non-goal.
11:35I don't know when exactly that happened.
11:37But yeah, three-plus minutes into overtime, Seth Jarvis pots the game winner to tie it.
11:43Did you see the guy for the Golden Knights get hit in the face by the puck?
11:47I did not see that.
11:47Brutal slap shot to the face at 87 miles an hour.
11:51And he got off the ice so quick and went right to the locker room.
11:54Yeah.
11:55I put the video of it on our Instagram page.
11:58Give us a follow there at Sports Junkies Radio.
12:01We've said this before.
12:02I watched a little of the post-game analysis last night.
12:07TJ Oshie's excellent.
12:08He was on with Van Pelt.
12:09Yeah.
12:09He's a stud.
12:10He's very good.
12:11Absolute stud.
12:12He'll work in broadcasting as long as he wants to.
12:15He basically can write his own ticket.
12:17Correct.
12:17From the looks of it.
12:17And Mike Marr will be watching Game 3 tomorrow night.
12:20Yes, he will.
12:21Because he's all into the Stanley Cup Finals.
12:22I mean, if he was really into it, he'd hop on a flight and go to Vegas for the game.
12:26But I don't know if he's that into it.
12:28But he does have all his yins or friends coming in from Pittsburgh over the weekend.
12:32So he's got to entertain them.
12:34So Nats, of course, off last night.
12:36They're out in Arizona.
12:38So they'll play tonight at 940.
12:40So if you're watching the Game 2 of the NBA Finals, you can throw on the Nats at 940.
12:45It's going to be Foster Griffin pitching for the Nats against Merrill Kelly.
12:52Kelly's 5-3 with a 5 ERA.
12:55Griffin is 6-2 with a 3-8 ERA.
12:59We didn't talk about this yesterday.
13:01They were swept by the Marlins, so they need a win.
13:03We didn't talk about this yesterday.
13:05So Major League Baseball, the last couple years, Shohei Otani's won the MVP.
13:11I think he has three MVPs.
13:13You have to look year by year.
13:15By the way, Aaron Judge is going to miss a significant time for the Yankees.
13:19If you looked at MVP favorites, it's always Judge in the AL and Shohei Otani in the NL.
13:26Those are the favorites, right?
13:28But Shohei Otani's got a shot at the Cy Young.
13:31I mean, you know how great that is?
13:34That you've already been the first guy to ever have a 50-50 season.
13:3850 home runs and 50 stolen bases.
13:40Yep.
13:41All right?
13:42Yeah, he's special.
13:42That's freaking amazing.
13:43He's awesome.
13:44Yeah.
13:45And like, if he was just an okay pitcher, it would be a great story.
13:52But he might be the best pitcher.
13:55Might be the best player and best pitcher.
13:58Best offensive player and the best pitcher.
14:01You'll never see that again, ever.
14:03You won't put him in the Hall of Fame right now.
14:05Sure, I would.
14:07But there's a lot of guys in the National League that are having great years.
14:10Sanchez, for the Phillies, having a great year.
14:12His ERA is 1-4-6.
14:13He's got seven wins.
14:14I've talked about Mizorowski from Milwaukee.
14:16Leads the majors in strikeouts.
14:18He's got, I believe he's got six wins.
14:21He pitches tonight.
14:21ERA 1-6-5.
14:23But you're right.
14:23Otani's just having an unbelievable year.
14:25ERA under one.
14:27And won his last start.
14:28So you've got the Nats playing tonight against Arizona.
14:34Aaron Judd's going to be out a significant amount of time.
14:37Probably at minimum two months.
14:39He's got a rib fracture.
14:43Rib fracture.
14:44That's painful.
14:44Can't swing out of your shoes with a rib fracture.
14:47Not good.
14:47It's got to be tough.
14:48He's not going to be back for a while.
14:50He's got 17 home runs.
14:51And that's going to be a huge miss for the Yankees.
14:54The Yankees did win last night 2-1.
14:57Memorial Tournament, Mr. Matt Myers.
14:59Players, I've got Wyndham Clark in one of my pools.
15:04And he was balling yesterday.
15:06I believe he's tied for the lead.
15:07I believe he's tied for the first round lead.
15:08J.J. Spahn, Wyndham Clark, Tommy Fleetwood, and Ryan Gerrard, all five under.
15:15And, of course, this is a signature event out there in Muirfield Village.
15:18Is this the last signature of the year?
15:20Or one of the last ones?
15:22I believe Travelers is the last one.
15:25So you've got two more.
15:26This one and then Travelers.
15:27And what's happening with Liv this weekend?
15:30Liv is in Spain.
15:31They're in Spain.
15:31Yep.
15:32They're in Spain, and then they go to England, and then they come to the United States for
15:36their last three events.
15:37They play in Indianapolis, Detroit, and New York.
15:40Jason, did you see the exchange between Scotty and Ted Scott, his caddy, after he dumped
15:46it in the water on 15?
15:48I was watching that.
15:49Yeah, explain.
15:49That was riveting.
15:50So I guess he either got the wind or the distance wrong, and Scotty was berating him
15:57the entire hole.
15:58Yeah.
15:58It was awesome audio.
16:00The caddy, I think Ted Scott knew he was in the wrong and started walking away.
16:05Uh-huh.
16:05And so Scotty just kept yelling at him, and even in the drop zone, he was yelling at
16:12him, saying, like, I hit the most perfect shot in the world.
16:15How'd it go there?
16:16Something went wrong.
16:17Are you sure it was wind off the left?
16:19Are you sure the distance was wrong?
16:21Did you take account for the wind or downhill?
16:23I've never seen Scotty like that before.
16:25Yeah.
16:25It was wild.
16:28It was very pissed.
16:29It was interesting, too.
16:30Any chance you have-
16:32If you're a golf nut.
16:32The audio?
16:33I can try and find it in the last minute.
16:34And this is a warm-up for the U.S. Open, which is next week?
16:37U.S. Open is Father's Day weekend.
16:39Father's Day.
16:40Two weekends, yeah.
16:41Two weeks.
16:42Yeah, but that was interesting.
16:44There was another hole that he didn't know what club to hit, and he ended up looking at
16:50the trees.
16:51He was getting ready to swing and hit the ball on his approach and backed off.
16:56He looked at the trees again, and the camera showed the trees whipping around.
17:00So, the wind was definitely a factor for Scheffler and the rest of the guys out there, but that
17:06was riveting to watch.
17:08Scheffler, he doesn't mess around.
17:10He's an intense dude.
17:11Yeah.
17:12I know a lot of people think he's just boring because he doesn't show a lot of emotion,
17:15but he gets pissed, and he did yesterday.
17:19But round two starting in about an hour out there at Muirfield Village.
17:24And props to the University of Texas.
17:25They win the Women's College World Series in softball back-to-backers.
17:29They beat Texas Tech last night.
17:31And that's not the team with Jason Williams' kid?
17:34That's Texas Tech.
17:35Texas Tech is.
17:35Gotcha.
17:36That I do know.
17:37Correct.
17:37That's the one nugget I know about women's softball.
17:44Absolutely.
17:44If I lost a 7-iron, then we get the wind wrong, and I'm in the water.
17:51I don't think you understand how frustrating that is.
17:55That was a good shot.
17:57You know what?
17:58It's busted.
17:58Like the line?
18:02Texas Tech got the win, told him the wrong win, and then he hit an amazing shot, and he's
18:06going to get penalized for it.
18:07Yeah.
18:07But you never see him act like that.
18:09No, you never do.
18:10But maybe the wind was blowing that way, and it gusted the opposite way once the ball was
18:15in the air.
18:15Who knows?
18:16Or if he's like me, you have to play in the fact that you never hit it right.
18:21Yeah.
18:22Don't hit it right in the wind.
18:23Play for the miss, JP.
18:24Yeah, you play back.
18:25Usually I hit it to the right, so let me aim more left.
18:27What are the odds that I hit this thing pure?
18:29Yeah.
18:30I'm not going to hit it 180.
18:31It's probably going to be 165.
18:33I mean, if Ted Scott's out there, and he tells, you know, Scotty asks Ted about the
18:38wind, and Ted says, all right, well, it's gusting from the right to left.
18:42I mean, Scotty Scheffler can look at the trees.
18:44Yeah.
18:45He can feel the wind.
18:46Hey, I've been pissed at a caddy before.
18:48I get it.
18:49Yeah, well, he was definitely pissed.
18:51When I was playing Pebble, the caddy said it was like a 185 shot, and he goes, this plays
18:57long.
18:58It's the par three on the back.
18:59I think he's like 13, Jason.
19:00Yep.
19:01And then I said, he says, you should probably hit like a 200 club.
19:04I was like, are you sure about that?
19:06Shocker.
19:06I hit it over the green by 15 yards.
19:09Yeah.
19:09Yeah.
19:09Well.
19:10Flew the green.
19:11Chopped some money off that tip.
19:12Was your caddy old?
19:13There's a lot of old caddies out there.
19:15A butt old.
19:15Yeah.
19:16Oh, really?
19:16Oh, yeah.
19:17The guys are on there.
19:18They're on the back nine.
19:19Yeah.
19:19They're on the last few holes in the back nine.
19:21There's a few oldies at Pebble.
19:24They've been out there forever, but their brain doesn't fire.
19:27Remember, coming up at 745, your chance to win $500 with MLB Trivia.
19:33But next, a misstep from a spur.
