2:47

Big one tonight. Big. It's

2:49

a massive one tonight. John Paul Flame

2:51

here. What's up Cakesy? Riding the NBA

2:53

high of last night, great night in

2:56

the NBA playoffs. Very

2:58

good. I bet on the games, didn't watch any. Actually,

3:00

I watched a little bit. Incredible finishes

3:02

in both the Knicks game and

3:05

the Lakers Nuggets game. We

3:08

can get into it a little bit later,

3:10

but just an awesome night, have some adrenaline

3:12

still flowing. Eric Pickle is here as well.

3:14

You know, Lurch, I'm surprised like there's a

3:16

certain gas station in my neighborhood and there's

3:18

one like up in Poughkeepsie

3:20

that when I go in there, you see

3:22

these old guys and they're throwing cash on

3:24

like digital

3:27

horse races. Yeah, we have that here

3:29

too. Kino. I've

3:31

seen that too. They're old guys. That's going to

3:33

be you. That's going to be you. Not as

3:35

long as you're still sports around. I've never been

3:37

a Kino guy. I've never been

3:40

a digital horse racing guy. Neither have I,

3:42

but it's never been tantalized by it. I've

3:44

got vices. I have vices. But

3:47

that's never one that's really drawn

3:49

me in. Yeah. But I

3:51

was making $2 bets on

3:53

baseball parlors yesterday. I'm just trying to hit a

3:55

big one. Well, not a big one, but two

3:57

bucks maybe pay seven. I'm

4:00

not doing it for the money, I just do it for the

4:02

actor. You do it for the, yeah, for the rush. You do

4:04

it for the rush. I do it for the rush. There you

4:06

have it. But, you know, I will be betting on the New

4:08

York Rangers tonight. Yeah, I still-

4:11

And the hedge play, the emotional hedge play. Still

4:13

makes me emotionally uncomfortable. I know it

4:15

does. It does. Nobody gets my beloved

4:17

Washington Capitals. Yeah, but you want to profit off

4:19

it. You want to profit off your pain. Yeah,

4:21

I'd rather not. You think that's blood money? It's

4:25

maybe equivalent to blood money. Yeah. I

4:28

don't want any sort of- You don't want

4:30

to feel good at all? I don't want any

4:32

sort of good feeling coming off of a caps

4:35

loss. I don't want to

4:37

then go to my account, my BetMGM

4:39

account and see a few extra bucks

4:41

and just get a weird artificial bump

4:44

from something that I'm not a fan of. I'm

4:47

kind of with Lurch. I kind of like it. Yeah, I don't

4:49

like the emotional hedge. I'm not a fan of it. You figure

4:51

how much is it worth to you? So how much is

4:53

it going to be worth to you? Probably put 100 bucks on

4:55

the Rangers. 100 bucks on the Rangers. It's worth that. No,

4:58

100 bucks only paid me 46 because

5:01

they're laying so many. Sure. So

5:03

many. You're basically paying 100 bucks

5:05

for the win. Two to one, minus 230 probably.

5:09

Yeah, I'm risking 100. The idea is you're paying

5:11

100 bucks for the win. So if they win,

5:13

cost you 100 bucks, if they lose, well, you

5:15

get the payout, whatever it is. To

5:19

me, it is kind of brilliant. It's

5:21

a win-win. I think that's also

5:23

another concept I created. No,

5:26

I created emotional hedge. Are

5:29

you sure? You guys are going to battle. He's

5:32

more of the gambler than me, but I

5:35

feel like... That was definitely my brainchild. The

5:38

emotional hedge, the coining of it?

5:41

The coining of it, yeah. Okay. All

5:43

right. I'll give it to you if you're

5:45

willing to fight for it. No, I'm not. I just, you

5:47

know, I've been doing it for years. I've

5:50

been betting against the teams I really love

5:52

for years, hoping that they'll win and I'll

5:54

lose money. I hope they

5:56

don't do what the Isles did last night and blow a

5:58

3-0 league against Carolina. I'm sure an Isler is fed,

6:01

you just have to be devastated.

6:04

I mean, it looked like you were getting set

6:06

up to have the series 1-1 coming back to

6:08

the island. And now you're

6:10

in a 0-2 hole, did you give up two

6:12

goals in nine seconds? Nine seconds, what are the odds?

6:14

I mean, I thought the cap's giving up three goals

6:16

in a span of two plus minutes is bad. You

6:19

know what? That was worse. That was pretty

6:21

bad. That was clearly worse. Yeah, now they're down 2-0.

6:26

Yeah, so it's a biggie tonight. You

6:30

know, even if they lose, come back on Friday

6:32

and win, make it 2-1, all right, it's a

6:34

little interesting, but it'd be really nice to steal

6:36

one up there. Like, capital one will be, it'll

6:38

be hopping. Are any of you going this weekend?

6:41

I am going, yes. Our pal, J.V.F. texted

6:43

me last night and he said, do you

6:45

want to go on Friday? Yeah. Unfortunately,

6:47

I have, I mean, I guess it's a

6:49

good thing, but I had to say no, I have a

6:52

daddy-daughter dance. I've never actually

6:54

been to a daddy-daughter dance. I

6:57

don't know if that's a private school thing versus

6:59

public school. I don't remember doing that when

7:01

Kelsey was growing up, but I have to

7:03

go to that. That's the first

7:05

time that he ever texted me. Did he do the same

7:07

thing to you? I got the same text. He reached out

7:09

to me. How nice is that? He said, are you coming

7:11

out to one of the games? I

7:14

was like, I don't know, am I? You

7:17

played it before. I didn't exactly say it like

7:20

that, but it was, you know, it was just

7:22

kind of in that neighborhood, the response. Yeah, it

7:24

was. And the wheels are in motion. It was

7:26

unprecedented. Usually, we all reach out to him. I

7:28

guess he reached out to us. Yeah,

7:30

I told him, daddy-daughter dance. He's like, well, let me

7:32

know if you want to come Sunday. I was like,

7:34

whoa. Let me give you a little radio insider. Radio

7:36

insider. I feel a

7:39

little sheepish asking for playoff tickets.

7:41

You know what I mean? I feel

7:44

sheepish for anything, honestly. I've gotten past

7:46

feeling sheepish for regular seasons and other

7:48

events. To me, playoff tickets

7:50

seems like they're harder to get. It's

7:53

just a bigger ask. But I mean,

7:55

if they're just offered to me, out

7:58

of the clear blue sky, out of. thin

8:00

air. Well then I

8:02

would be rude. JV asked if the bell just

8:04

heard them down. That would be rude.

8:06

I felt the same way when he texted because

8:08

he did ask, are you coming to the game?

8:10

Yeah. And I thought he meant, are you, if

8:13

you come, just let me know and I'll get you.

8:15

Right. I feel like I can kind of like, I

8:17

can like open the door for you and the suite

8:19

or something. Right. If you're already in the building. Right.

8:21

He didn't say, hey, I got tickets for you if

8:23

you want to come. So I, I didn't, I followed

8:25

up, but I told him, you know, I'll get back

8:27

to you. I didn't realize he was actually

8:30

offering tickets. Well, I mean, here's the way

8:32

I read it. Yeah. That's the

8:34

way I read it too. Can't see right. I

8:38

mean, sure. He just copy and paste. He said, are you

8:40

planning on coming to the game on Friday night? So

8:43

I said, I can't unfortunately have the daddy

8:45

daughter dance because that sounds awesome and she'll

8:47

love it. Let me know if you want

8:49

to come on Sunday. Here, here was

8:51

my example. That to me is an

8:53

invitation for tickets. Yes. What time is

8:55

the game on Sunday? I think

8:57

it's seven or seven. Yeah. It's late on my

9:00

response. Mar said eight. Oh,

9:02

it's eight o'clock Sunday night. It's

9:05

worth it though for a playoff game. Yeah. So

9:07

I get the JV. Depending on what the series

9:09

stands at. That's true. You can leave, you know,

9:14

after a period, you know what I mean? So I

9:16

get the bat signal text

9:18

from JVS at around three o'clock yesterday. Hey,

9:20

you coming to the game on Friday night.

9:23

Flakes is response. Would love

9:25

to hadn't really planned on it, but

9:27

would love to watch some caps playoff

9:29

puck. And what did he say? Okay.

9:32

Let me know what you need. And I

9:34

let him know what

9:36

I needed. How

9:38

many did you ask for? Four. Okay.

9:40

Reasonable. I don't think that's outrageous. Oh,

9:43

right. So I, I

9:45

think I handled that with some, why do

9:47

you think a decorum? Here's honestly what I

9:49

saw when I saw it. Radio number one,

9:51

it's a human, it's a human response to

9:54

be like, like wishy washy.

9:56

Just because you don't want to add, you don't want to put

9:58

him in a position like that. But if he's at You

10:00

guys asking you out of the blue like because we

10:02

always ask him correct now I I can't do it

10:04

because I'm gonna be out of town for my son's

10:06

stuff, but You know and

10:09

I said thank you, and you're so nice, but thank

10:11

you I just look I didn't look at the tax

10:13

three or four times like I actually thought he may

10:15

be at the wrong number Can I send something already

10:17

and I forgot that my guess is my guess is

10:19

it's a hot ticket And he's already he and he's

10:21

got a million people at Monumental

10:24

or wherever kind of in

10:26

the queue and so

10:28

he's getting ahead of it and trying to

10:31

figure out right All right, that's the logical

10:33

explanation, but I'm always thinking Negatively

10:36

and I was thinking we're like at

10:38

the bottom of the barrel, and then I honestly

10:40

thought my instinct was me Me does nobody

10:42

want these tickets? That's

10:45

what I thought cuz I'm but I picked it's not a

10:47

reflection on the caps is more reflection on us You

10:49

know I mean like about it essentially is offering us

10:51

12 tickets to a hockey game Yeah,

10:54

so you what's usually a super hot right? I

10:57

guess is it's it's a hot ticket hands Could

11:00

be probably teen if everybody goes before I think it

11:02

is gonna be the math. Oh yeah 16 Yeah,

11:04

I think it's gonna be a relatively hot ticket.

11:06

I mean the caps weren't in the play You

11:08

know how that you know how the town is

11:10

they know it's a bandwagon town That's why I

11:13

couldn't galvanize around this stuff. I was I was

11:15

actually on the golf course I was walking around

11:17

trying to figure it out, but they are he's

11:19

getting ahead of it That's that's my guess he

11:21

knows he knows the junks. I figure like asking

11:23

for stuff right My golf

11:25

included right also. It's a promotion yesterday

11:28

We gave away caps tickets and part

11:30

of the read because I read it

11:32

was Still tickets available

11:35

right so this is a different situation in the past where

11:37

these should just sell out sell out sell out sell out

11:39

Now I'm gonna guess that they're gonna sell out, but

11:41

I'll make it's a promotion I've been on to

11:44

something They

11:46

need the junks to hype it up sure get the

11:48

junks going to the games the junks hype it up

11:50

We get rid of these last few tickets You want

11:52

me to respond to them and tell them I can't

11:55

go but Valdez would love to go When

11:57

is it this Friday night Friday camp? Friday.

12:01

Can't do it Friday. Valdez is now broken

12:03

through where he is. I used

12:05

to act. He used to cut out the middle man. Yeah.

12:09

Yeah. Because it's harder to turn down

12:11

cakes if you're JBS than it is

12:13

to turn down Valdez. So

12:16

I would ask my proxy and

12:19

I would feel sheepish and everything. I

12:21

would say he's undefeated. Just because I'm

12:23

not junk level and I know that.

12:25

No, you're right there with us. When

12:29

Jim hooked me for Zach Bryan

12:31

and we're glad handing with him

12:33

in the suite. He had a

12:35

breakthrough. Very nice to me. Yeah.

12:38

Told me anything. Anything I needed, just let him know.

12:40

That's a breakthrough. It

12:43

might be my biggest breakthrough ever on the show. Yeah,

12:45

it is. That's a big one.

12:47

It's a huge moment. We've made a lot of

12:49

great contacts over the years. It

12:52

took me 14 years. He's at

12:54

the top. He's

12:56

on the Mount Hooking. What's the Mount Hooking?

12:58

What's the Mount Hooking? Mount Hooking more. Mount

13:00

Hooking more is butt funny. Even though we've

13:02

been doing this almost, approaching 30 years now,

13:04

right? We're in here our 28th year, whatever,

13:07

from when we very, very first started. We're

13:11

just so used to being at the bottom of the totem

13:13

pole. True. It just,

13:15

like feeling insecure that

13:17

we're not used to people. We're

13:20

not used to people being nice. And it's also weird to like.

13:23

Like my experience, like when I

13:25

went to Caps playoff games, back

13:27

at the Capitol Center, I'd

13:30

buy tickets and sit in whatever, the 300s. I

13:34

wasn't getting hooked up with the sort of treatment we're

13:36

getting hooked up with now. So

13:39

it's like, for me, it's a weird

13:41

disconnect. The dynamic was just different. Typically,

13:45

with all our contacts, you have to go to that

13:47

awkward ass. Right. Hey, do

13:49

you happen to have any tickets for Friday

13:52

night? Yeah. And

13:54

then, you know, cakes will double down and go,

13:56

how about a parking pass? I can use a

13:58

parking pass. I didn't ask. for a

14:00

parking pass for Friday, but I would assume she's gonna

14:02

throw it in there. He

14:04

knows I'm a diva when it comes to parking.

14:06

So the dynamic was different that he reached out

14:08

to us. Put it this way. B. Mitch

14:11

probably gets text like that all the time.

14:13

He's used to it. He's like royalty around.

14:15

I'm still to the point when I send

14:17

a text asking from my end, when I'm

14:19

about to get send, I almost recoil from

14:22

the phone. I'm like cringe a little bit.

14:25

You know what I do? I get send after my end. I

14:27

don't want to hit it. I just feel weird. When

14:30

I hit it, I take my phone and I'll go put

14:33

it in the room. I don't even want to look at

14:35

it. Those

14:37

were naturally just kind of cheap. You know what

14:39

it is? Shame. It's a little

14:41

bit of shame coming through. I was writing down

14:43

my mount hook more. JVS

14:46

for sure. Call it JVS's face

14:48

in it right now. Are these the people that hook us

14:50

the most? Or the

14:53

best hooks? Okay. Chris Farley.

14:55

Not including our endorsements. Right. Okay.

14:58

Farley, yeah. Put him right up there. He's

15:00

up there. He's down in Mount

15:02

Hookmore. I have to put my man Mike

15:05

Beasley over at MGM. You know what? Mike,

15:07

he looked at me for my wife's birthday

15:09

with four Bruno Mars tickets. Mount Hookmore is

15:11

filling up. A room

15:14

at MGM National Harbor and

15:16

a $500 comp at Voltaggio. That's

15:19

ridiculous. Think about that. Four

15:21

tickets to Bruno Mars, $500 at Voltaggio,

15:23

and a hotel room. On

15:25

the regular market, that's thousands

15:28

of dollars. I think he hooked me up because he thought I

15:30

was JP Finley the whole time. Then at the end, at one

15:32

point he was like, how are you texting me? Aren't

15:37

you on the air? I was like, no, my show was over at

15:39

10. Well, I have to go ahead

15:41

and get it anymore. I don't know who the fourth guy would

15:43

be. I would say for me and probably for all you guys,

15:47

it would be Tom Healy, who's for 20 years

15:49

given me free golf at

15:52

all three of his golf courses, but the

15:54

two locally here. I mean, we're

15:58

talking about thousands of rounds.

16:00

over the 20-some years. I mean, no one

16:02

took me more. Now he sold those things.

16:04

It made me join a club. So I'm

16:06

willing to maybe take him off. But

16:09

historically, he has a tentative spot. I told him

16:11

he screwed me when he sold these courses. But

16:15

he's got to be up there. Everybody in here

16:17

is hitting him up. Even JP would hit him up a couple times

16:19

a year. Not a couple times

16:21

a year. You mentioned Mike Beasley from MGM.

16:23

I may have to reach out to him

16:25

because I got devastating news like

16:28

two or three weeks ago when I

16:30

was signing up for my own tournament.

16:33

And my guy Pat, who runs some of the tournaments

16:35

there, he goes, it's your noir

16:38

card. It's

16:40

done. I was like, what do you

16:42

mean? He said, you've been knocked

16:44

down to like the lowest tier, like

16:47

Sapphire status. I was like, what? What?

16:50

What? What? Because

16:53

you don't use it. Because I don't deserve this

16:55

card. I should not have this card.

16:57

So what did they do? I

16:59

was gifted this card. No, I understand. Here's

17:02

why I love this card. Has

17:04

VIP parking. Which I

17:06

like. I'm a parking snob. I just am.

17:09

No, the parking is great. I'm a parking snob. But

17:13

you realize, Cakes, you realize with a noir

17:15

status, you get like a giveaway every month.

17:18

I know. They'll give you a new

17:20

iPhone every month. This card is very powerful. Yes.

17:24

You can get trips. I could cruise with this

17:26

every year if I wanted. I don't do it.

17:28

I usually bump down. Free airfare to Vegas every

17:30

year. Don't use it. Just only thing

17:32

you care about is the parking. Be with the

17:34

common folk on platinum level. I would even, I

17:36

would slum down the platinum. No, because the parking

17:38

is huge. I would slum down the platinum level

17:41

because it still hooks me with the

17:43

parking. Yeah, platinum hooks you up. Oh, yeah, I have that. That's

17:45

what I have. So I might have to

17:47

reach out to Mike easily and say, hey,

17:49

I mean, I can't be blue

17:51

card. I'm the

17:53

poker ambassador. Who was the

17:55

first person to give you that? This

17:58

is from our man Gums. Oh,

18:01

yeah, Jamie Gumbs. Yeah, Jamie Gumbs

18:03

before he departed for Vegas. Greener

18:05

paths. Dude, Gumbs probably deserves to be on Mount

18:08

Hookmore, but he's been replaced by Beasley's. I

18:10

put it all in the same class. But if

18:12

you go to Vegas, call

18:14

Gumbs. Oh, I will. Trust me. Because you can stay

18:16

at Park MGM. I will do that. Now, that might

18:18

not be gratis, but it'll be discounted. Here's the workaround.

18:21

When you pull in to the Silly parking, all

18:23

you have to do is show the car as

18:25

you drive in. And

18:27

they're like, okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Go

18:29

park wherever. Doesn't matter. So I think I'm

18:31

good as long as I don't lose it.

18:33

But I would ask just to get

18:35

it all rolling on the new one.

18:38

Yeah. Oh, I'm... This

18:40

is me asking. Right here. Let me slow

18:42

down. Let's slow down. Back to

18:44

track here. So you're saying you get free airfare to

18:46

Vegas if you want? Correct. Correct.

18:50

We booked yesterday, or my wife's

18:52

actually waiting a couple days because we're so light

18:54

on cash. Oh, there are cash? Well, you're

18:57

insolvent? We were waiting a couple days before

18:59

we booked the flights. Three

19:01

tickets nonstop

19:03

to Vegas for

19:06

my daughter to qualify for nationals. So we solidified

19:08

it. It's like $2,500. That

19:10

is. Like nonstop. Now,

19:12

if you're willing to stop, it's not something I'm not

19:14

willing to. I don't like stopping. It could

19:17

be a lot cheaper. I'm nonstop like Liam Neeson. Well,

19:19

I'll stop for cheaper. When

19:22

is this? It's like June or July

19:24

or something. Oh, that's weird. Usually in the middle

19:26

of summer. It's the weirdest thing ever. It's so

19:28

weird. It's the weirdest thing ever. They're cheap to

19:30

fly to Vegas. No, I know. And the thing

19:32

is, they even have promotions like $45 to

19:35

Vegas, you know, all this stuff.

19:37

But for some reason- It's like WSOP time

19:39

too, I think. For some reason, it doesn't

19:41

qualify or whatever. We're like paying the full

19:44

freight and I'm stunned at the price. Yeah,

19:46

not going to need to look into old

19:48

spirits. She

19:50

did arrive in the spirit and say it was

19:52

cheaper. My youngest is refusing to go on spirit.

19:54

Oh, really? She's a snob. She's

19:57

a snob. Yeah, I Honestly have no

19:59

problems. The the point dire I get

20:01

i get no respect are also all

20:03

my flights and there were extra flights

20:05

because I had stops v a spirit

20:07

22:27

definitely hitting hard when I have to

22:30

bring the eye drops with me. That's

22:34

when it's like threat level.

22:36

I can tell. Super high. I'm not going to

22:38

make a big thing of the cake. You're right. I

22:40

looked like you were punched by my type. Well, I

22:42

went into the bathroom during the break and I

22:44

put two drops, and this stuff's pretty good, into each

22:46

eyeball. Hopefully it helps. I'm not going to make a

22:49

big thing of this, but I've asked you this before

22:51

and I already know the answer. Why

22:55

don't you go to see an allergist?

22:58

Because I believe you haven't been

23:00

in decades. The easy answer, one,

23:02

laziness. Two, scaredy-cattedness.

23:07

Those are probably the top two reasons why. You

23:09

could have laziness. Oh, and three, because my son

23:12

just went and his allergies

23:14

tested off the charts. You

23:16

don't want to know about that? My youngest son is now

23:19

to the point where

23:21

they gave him the medicine and

23:23

the syringes and he's giving himself allergy

23:25

shots. Okay, but I'm assuming that's going

23:28

to help him. Every two or three

23:30

days. Yeah, it'll help. Oh, you're opting not

23:32

for help because you're scared of the diagnosis.

23:36

Pretty much, yeah. Now I'll eventually go,

23:38

but I haven't gone yet. Much like

23:40

I- He's a big progressinator. Well, no,

23:42

no, the laziness. This is correct. E.B.

23:44

gets dubbed the laziest and he probably

23:46

deservedly so. He's the king of leisure.

23:48

Mount Lazy Boy. But cakes might be

23:50

up there because I hooked

23:53

up with Cowboy Todius. Yeah. He had to go

23:55

out to Virginia. Cowboy Tod. And I just hit

23:57

him up while I was driving there. two

24:00

hour drive and I was like, hey, are you

24:02

going to be around? And we hooked up for,

24:04

uh, for dinner before he, he coaches his son.

24:08

I mean, I like cowboy Todd. I'd see him like

24:10

an appearance, but I would never just reach

24:13

out to him. I don't, I don't see a scenario

24:15

where that would happen in my lifetime. I

24:17

love cowboy. He's great. Can you imagine this

24:19

too, on a candlelight dinner together? Trust

24:22

me, there's no candlelight dinner. We went out

24:24

for cheese steaks, but, um, I

24:26

hooked up with him and he goes, Hey,

24:29

tell your boy cakes. Yeah. I

24:32

gave him, he said line by line instructions

24:34

on how to take care of his problem and it

24:36

would take 30 seconds. What

24:38

he claimed. That's what he, I mean, okay. But

24:42

what he says is that you haven't even

24:44

done it. That's correct. So

24:47

it takes that's a major issue, a major issue

24:49

that he brought up on the air and

24:52

he is procrastinated. How can I do

24:54

that? And here's the guy who deals

24:56

in his profession now. Now

24:58

it has to do with like skimming and

25:00

gas stations and gas pumps, but he's in

25:02

the profession of dealing with fraud

25:04

and you know,

25:07

identities taken cakes as the

25:09

same issue and a guy gives

25:11

him line by line instructions on the text and

25:13

claims it's only going to be 30 seconds. Let's

25:15

say it's going to be 30 minutes, but you

25:17

don't have to drive somewhere, whatever, and you refuse

25:20

to do it. Correct. Why? I

25:22

don't blame you. I haven't done it yet.

25:24

It's cause it's Cowboys. You know why you

25:26

disrespected the information because it came from. I

25:29

don't know. But he's

25:31

also, like you said, he's also very lazy. Well,

25:33

I also just, it's mostly that kicking the can down.

25:40

They knew what cowboy and I would

25:42

say, yes, generally cowboy dog, but this

25:44

is kind of his field of expertise.

25:47

Yeah, but he's, he's like in the skimmers,

25:49

but it's hard for me to just trust

25:51

cowboy Todd on the

25:54

instructions make sense. Uh,

25:56

I'd have to go back and look at them again. I have to go

25:58

back and look at them. I

26:00

looked at, I glanced at them. Tom glanced

26:02

at them. No, it's Cowboy Tod you're like

26:04

shoot a deer or something. Yeah, or like

26:06

load a gun. I'll certainly like listen to

26:09

that advice. How to scale a

26:11

fish. How to have 10 children.

26:14

Yeah. He's got a lot of kids.

26:16

Cowboy Tod's advice. He and his wife have

26:18

a lot of kids. I'm exaggerating with that

26:21

number. He has a big Frisbee golf tournament

26:23

this weekend. Disc golf tips, I listen to

26:25

Cowboy Tod. Fixing somebody stealing my

26:27

identity and dealing with it through the DC government.

26:29

I don't know that he's that steeped in that.

26:31

Pretty sure he told me that he has a

26:33

coach for her disc golf. Well, I mean if

26:35

you. Who just got into the disc golf hall

26:37

of fame. Look, if he wants to get better,

26:39

you get a coach. Who knew? Yeah,

26:43

I mean I don't know. I don't know what to

26:45

tell you. He said there'd be 300 people biting in it. I

26:47

will take care of it. It's just

26:49

the timing is TBD at

26:52

this point. All right, well you said that

26:54

many times. You'll take care of it. I'm

26:57

not in a real rush to do it. No,

26:59

you'd rather just do this. I'm gonna bet right

27:01

now that next March,

27:05

you're gonna go see our tax count. And

27:08

he's gonna ask you the same question which spurred

27:11

this conversation about your mistaken

27:13

identity. And

27:15

you still will not have done it. That's fine, you can

27:17

bet on that. You might

27:19

even win. I don't know. We'll

27:22

see in March of 2025. Time

27:25

will tell. Now let's get to the junk sports pitch.

27:41

JP didn't sleep last night because he

27:44

was watching the Lakers Nuggets. Awesome

27:46

game. I'm still on kind of an

27:48

adrenaline high. I was asking

27:50

Mike Marr if he's an NBA fan and he said

27:53

he watched the first game and he watched the

27:55

first half of the Nuggets Lakers but

27:58

he went to bed because the game was over. And

28:00

I said you don't really watch the NBA

28:02

right because again because the 20-point lead and

28:05

vanish like that and Here's

28:07

the deal. I got home last night around 10 So I didn't

28:09

watch the first game although I watched the highlights and that was

28:11

an amazing finish and we'll get to that But

28:14

the Nuggets had beaten the Lakers nine

28:16

straight times in the

28:18

Western Conference Finals last year All four games

28:20

were really close the

28:23

Nuggets just have their number and

28:26

You could sense the momentum changing

28:29

in the third quarter They cut

28:31

it from 20 a 20-point lead to 10 LeBron

28:37

actually had a great fourth quarter.

28:39

He starts off with two deep

28:41

threes He

28:43

has a steal on Jamal Murray turns it

28:45

into a dunk. He has another and one

28:47

situation I think he maybe had 13 points

28:50

in the fourth quarter But the

28:52

nugget believe the guys 39 is still

28:54

putting up numbers The Nuggets get you

28:56

just basically run in the two-man game

28:59

of yokach and Murray down the stretch They've done

29:01

it a million times. They did it throughout the

29:03

playoffs last year. Yoke is just

29:05

so good. Mm-hmm. He finished with 27 points

29:10

20 rebounds Tenecess correct somebody tweeted

29:12

this out. He should be your favorite

29:14

player EB you want old-school basketball now

29:16

He'll launch a couple threes here and

29:18

there but He

29:21

has a D on him who's a great defender

29:24

a D before the game Was

29:27

bitching and moaning that

29:29

he's never gonna win defensive player of the year

29:32

They announced the three finalists and he wasn't even

29:34

one of the finalists. I believe it was Victor

29:37

women Yama Rudy go bear and I

29:40

can't remember who the third person was. Mm-hmm Well,

29:43

ad is a really good defender Yokach

29:45

has almost like a Hakeem Olajuwon

29:48

type move on him gets an and one to

29:50

cut the lead to one has a jump hook

29:52

on him and then Murray

29:55

who was three for sixteen in the first three

29:57

quarters Told his teammates.

29:59

I'm gonna set you up and they apparently

30:01

said, no, you got to keep shooting catches

30:04

fire, goes six rate down the stretch, but

30:07

it's back and forth, back and forth. The

30:09

Nuggets are chipping away. They finally get to

30:11

the point where it's a tie game Lakers

30:13

get the ball back on the last possession

30:15

potentially LeBron has an open

30:17

three misses it. Nuggets

30:21

get the rebound, give it to Jamal. He

30:24

ends up in a one-on-one against Anthony Davis

30:26

and hits a mid range

30:28

fade away, step back over, Anthony Davis

30:30

at the buzzer. It was an awesome

30:32

game. Yeah. Just watch the highlight. Anthony

30:34

Davis fell into the Denver nugget bench

30:36

after the shot and all

30:38

of the players went over to, you know, kind

30:40

of grab Murray cause he just hit the game

30:42

winner and Davis is underneath the pile. Yeah. But

30:44

if you, yeah, if you watch the highlights, I

30:47

mean, it was high level basketball, like it was

30:49

a lot of makes. I

30:51

don't know what the percentages were in

30:53

the fourth quarter, but LeBron caught fire

30:55

misses that last three Jamal Murray ends

30:57

up six for eight in the fourth

31:00

quarter. It was an awesome game. Well,

31:02

this is, it almost felt like the NBA finals, even

31:06

though the Lakers had to play the plan, they

31:09

may be the toughest matchup for the Nuggets.

31:12

Although the Timberwolves are very big. And this is

31:14

how, you know, it's not regular season hoops because

31:16

the scores aren't one 35 to one 30. The

31:19

scoring is definitely down. Yeah. I mean, I think

31:22

I'm sure all three of the games last night

31:24

were unders. Rui has been a stiff in the

31:26

first two games. He hadn't done much. He hadn't

31:28

done much. End total points in two games. Well,

31:30

the, the, the difference of the Lakers in this

31:33

game versus game one, Dilo caught fire, I don't

31:35

know his final numbers early in the

31:37

game was knocking down a bunch of threes, helped them build

31:39

the lead. And I think

31:42

it's just a situation where look, the

31:45

crowd was chanting, who's your daddy, the

31:47

Nuggets right now own

31:50

the Lakers. Ten straight, right? Ten

31:52

straight. So that's game two. So they're

31:54

up to a stat. I go

31:56

back to LA. I retweeted it last night

31:58

about Yokich. In

32:00

the history of the NBA, there

32:04

have been guys who have gone in the

32:06

playoffs who have scored 25 points

32:09

and had 20 rebounds and

32:12

10 assists. So it has

32:14

been accomplished before. But

32:16

all of those guys in the history of the game,

32:18

it's like three or four names. They've only done it

32:20

once. He's done it

32:22

four times, 25, 20, and 10

32:24

in a playoff game. Yeah,

32:28

he's a machine. He is a machine. He's

32:31

the best player in the game, no doubt. Knicks

32:34

beat the Sixers by three. So

32:38

they are up 2-0. Did you watch the

32:40

end of this game? I watched the first quarter, a little

32:42

bit of the first quarter. I did not watch the end

32:44

of this game. The end of this game was incredible because

32:46

it's looking like it's

32:49

going to be a loss for the Knicks, a

32:51

win for the Sixers. They'll even the series, bring

32:53

it back to Philadelphia. And a

32:55

lot of people think, talent-wise, they're

32:57

the better team. They had a great record, Joel

32:59

Embiid. But when Embiid was

33:02

hurt, the Sixers struggled. So

33:05

they have, I think, an

33:08

eight-point lead. It gets

33:10

cut down. But here's the sequence of events.

33:12

Jalen Bronson, who finished the game, eight for

33:14

29. They didn't shoot well. Hits

33:16

a three, kind of an improbable three. They

33:19

hits the front rim, back rim goes in,

33:21

right? You just don't see those ones bounce

33:23

high. You got lucky. So you see, now

33:25

the lead is cut to... Lead,

33:29

I think, by then is cut down to two or whatever it

33:31

is. Cut to two, yes. Instead

33:33

of calling timeout, where

33:35

they can move the ball up

33:38

to half-court, they want

33:40

to just do a quick inbounds. They inbound

33:42

it to Tyrese Maxey. He

33:45

gets doubled. Now, I think there

33:47

probably was a foul. But

33:50

he goes down, the ball gets stolen. While

33:52

he was holding the ball, though, you

33:55

can see Nick Nurse, the

33:57

coach, is calling timeout. And Bede claims

33:59

he was... Calling timeout the referees

34:01

just ignored it. Yeah, then Chen

34:03

divincenzo gets a three misses it

34:06

This is where I a little bit blame the

34:08

Sixers like okay, and beat grab the rebound didn't

34:11

gets back to divincenzo He

34:13

hits the three they win it on

34:15

that three pointer and by the way

34:17

mellow John

34:20

Starks and I think with Charles

34:23

Sprewell like all these former Knicks They were

34:25

acting like seven-year-old kids going nuts on the sideline.

34:27

It was pretty cool to see I saw somebody

34:29

labeled it Big dad

34:31

energy or something or uncle energy

34:34

for two good finishes And

34:36

the fourth quarter and the Knicks and Nuggets are up

34:38

to Oh cabs are also up to own the magic.

34:41

So they won They

34:43

won by 10 tonight. You got more games

34:45

three more games sons T wolves T wolves

34:47

are up one there Pacers bucks bucks are

34:49

up one and Mavs

34:52

are at the Clippers Clippers are up one. So You

34:55

know NBA playoffs last night. That's what you got.

37:26

game yesterday for Aaron Boone, the

37:28

Yankees manager who

37:31

got tossed five pitches into

37:35

the game by

37:51

home plate umpire Hunter

37:54

Wendelstadt. Yep, I was watching the

37:56

game and it was very funny The

37:59

way it all went down. So. Here that went

38:01

down estuary reason to lead off hitter for

38:03

a Clinton. Ah on

38:06

a to strike out he's. He

38:08

swings that a ball. But. He was hit in the

38:10

foot. Okay and com now.

38:14

So and Boons in a Doug

38:16

Stanhope in a dugout and he.

38:19

And. And of course the home

38:21

play on pyre signals to the

38:23

first base umpire didn't swing first

38:26

base umpire says no and. Boons.

38:28

Kind of turpin at the first base

38:30

umpire as he clearly did swing. He's.

38:33

Your own body was also hit yet, but he saw

38:35

you. Fight. Second better so he

38:37

gets the gets to get a first is

38:39

a bible so he was turpin a little

38:41

bit. The Hum: palm plate umpire. Ah,

38:43

Now that that number two hitters up

38:45

in the box starts yelling at Boon

38:47

to stop Turpin about the call and

38:50

if he says ending up again, he's

38:52

gone. Basically. And

38:55

man, he gets tossed. but. It.

38:57

Wasn't boon turpin at the umpire? It was.

39:00

a guy in the second row behind him

39:02

is so funny. This is what a Santa

39:04

Like is. The first space on file will

39:06

follow the law. Say

39:16

after. Wow,

39:18

you know I need a job. My breakdown

39:20

of allah and we got a very clear

39:22

i'm. They

39:24

go down. there is

39:26

anything. Air

39:29

and saying oh my second, I didn't say a word.

39:50

It's clearly a visual that, but you gotta

39:52

warning ahead of. It's so funny too, because

39:54

the guys to Rose bought. Now here's the

39:56

thing. It's it's it's. It's

39:58

a day game. It's a one of five. Yeah I

40:00

target many days. I mean that if is

40:02

there aren't that many people must answer You're

40:05

gonna hear stuff made You could hear all

40:07

kinds of stuff from the that they feel.

40:09

Mike's the guy who's had it took off

40:11

his pullover so he wouldn't recognize a topic.

40:13

The I had a blue polo any to

40:15

get a half mile through their rose arrows

40:17

trying to figure out aura who is who

40:19

I us guy saw was at a Good

40:21

Counsel across game one of my close friends.

40:23

it was really funny Quotes is that team

40:25

coaches good counsel basement. And.

40:28

Dallas has ie come down hills than

40:30

on sidelined whatever love have you there.

40:32

And so I was down the cyber

40:34

down towards the goal. And

40:36

some of the parents chirp. The

40:39

rest I never from Raf Tsunami,

40:41

a Malibu or I don't Sharp

40:43

Wraps. Okay, Game as get

40:45

intense as as a few weeks ago. And

40:48

kid gets hurt. And one

40:50

the parents has gone off. Eventually.

40:53

Long story short, the guy

40:55

wheels around. And. He points at

40:57

me and he starts yelling at a member what

40:59

he said. He said one more word or something

41:01

added. You and your you know. And.

41:03

Like it's embarrassing me and for of

41:06

like a yelp. Five. Hundred people

41:08

and I did. I wasn't ready for it.

41:10

Doesn't say anything or leaning up against the

41:12

post. And I said. It

41:14

was even may not allowed. Still, I

41:16

felt bad because of gonna like throwing

41:18

the other dad under the bus but

41:20

I did and that would offend yourself.

41:23

I would you say mommy Other just

41:25

caught me off guard. Also, literally the

41:27

entire stadiums look a little or nothing

41:29

at all. The guy circular guys, I

41:31

did say one freaking words. you wanna

41:33

hear air and after the game theorists

41:35

that out of their own see. Wrap

41:38

your head around what happened in the

41:40

first inning. Hard

41:43

to. In

41:46

a hard to I wasn't even really. i

41:49

really team go after hundred yards more upset

41:51

that in on the to peel when i

41:53

said honors you can call it to and

41:55

he came back at me pretty hard to

41:57

which i didn't respond i just said okay

41:59

when And it's it's

42:01

embarrassing. It really is a bad. It's embarrassing

42:03

I mean everybody can see the video, but

42:06

is that a scenario where you reach out

42:08

to Major League Baseball about that? Yeah,

42:11

I mean Yeah,

42:15

yes, but Just

42:19

just you know not good

42:21

on a situation like that look this is a

42:23

regular season game 20 games in there But I

42:25

mean what if that's a playoff game, you know

42:27

but they should be able to go to the

42:30

video and Find out if it

42:32

was actually Boone who said that because if they did then

42:34

you realize it wasn't so he wouldn't get tossed From the

42:36

game, right? That was the first inning right and

42:38

they lost the game Right. I

42:41

mean these managers go down there in a locker

42:43

room and they're just texting the other coaches Managing.

42:46

Yeah, but still I mean it's to

42:48

get tossed from a game It's a little difficult to

42:50

more difficult to manage from the dugout or from the

42:52

locker room and dugout But it was a house. It

42:54

was just funny. I'm I'm

42:56

on some sort of algorithm has

42:58

me where on

43:00

Twitter I get these Tweets

43:04

of Major League Baseball umpires

43:08

botching calls Mm-hmm. Have

43:10

you seen any of these like

43:13

the ball strikes now like they do cakes

43:15

has been calling for robot umpires They

43:18

need to like I think it was the first pitch

43:20

of a game the other day and it's about the

43:22

get the origins Yeah, it was

43:24

like and there was the Royals I

43:26

think the commentator goes That's

43:29

right down the middle ball one

43:32

And then and then I think angel

43:34

Hernandez gets highlighted a lot where he

43:36

misses calls left Speaking

43:40

of baseball from yesterday Orioles won again for two

43:42

they've won I think seven of eight that beat

43:44

the Angels out in LA I think they've won

43:47

ten out of the last 13. Who has the

43:49

best record in baseball? Guardians

43:51

I believe the Guardian where

43:53

the Guardians the Aiden the Indians. Yes. They're

43:55

the Indian Braves have a really good record,

43:57

too The

44:00

Braves are really good. Cleveland

44:02

is 16-6. Braves

44:04

are 15-6. So there you go.

44:06

Two best records. But the

44:09

Orioles are just on fire. I mean, they

44:11

win 4-2 and they're just really, really

44:13

good. I love my bet over 90 and

44:16

a half wins. I mean, it's such

44:18

a lock. Now

44:20

Jackson Holliday did not play. I

44:23

think Matteo played second last night. So

44:27

he has clearly been struggling. What are they

44:29

saying in Baltimore, Valdez, about Jackson?

44:32

Yeah, what are they saying? Well, you guys just got a

44:34

bunch of hater DNA. That's all I know.

44:36

They won 10 out of the last 13. And

44:39

all anyone wants to do is talk about Jackson and

44:41

how much he sucks. I don't know. Nobody wants him

44:43

to suck. I think everybody wants him to be a

44:45

supercar. I don't think he sucks. One of his last

44:47

outs was hit 97 miles per hour, which is encouraging.

44:51

But here's the problem. This

44:53

is the problem, is that the AO

44:55

Least, every one of the teams is above 500. These

44:59

games matter just as much now as

45:01

they will in September. And

45:03

if you can't keep putting someone in

45:05

a high-leverage situation when you won 101 games

45:10

last year and you're playing for the AO Least championship.

45:12

No, I don't blame him for not playing them. These

45:14

games are going to come down to it. And to be

45:16

honest with you, I thought he would

45:19

be a better option than Ureas or Matteo,

45:21

but he's not. And if

45:23

he can't perform in a high-leverage

45:25

situation, then you're going to have to

45:27

send him back down

45:29

or not playing him. I think you're misinterpreting at least my... He's

45:31

struck a nerve. Yeah. You're misinterpreting at

45:34

least my question. No, no, no. I think it's just

45:36

weird that it's a Jackson holiday tracker now. Or

45:44

because it's a spectacular little start. It's

45:48

absolutely weird. I'm just asking, what are they saying? What's

45:51

over what? I'm struggling with the curve ball. Is

45:53

it like, you know, like, some of it's a

45:55

little unlucky. Other of it, the other

45:57

part of it is that he is having

45:59

problems. problems against MLB pitching. Yeah. But

46:02

it happened before. Like, I think it happened with

46:04

Gunnar Henderson. This might

46:06

be something that the

46:09

GM or whatever his job

46:11

title is, Elias, he

46:14

kind of plans for these guys

46:16

to take their lumps because

46:19

I think it's happened with Gunnar Henderson and

46:21

maybe with Russian as well. They can't afford

46:23

to take the lumps. These games matter a

46:25

hell of a lot when you have the

46:27

Yankees on their ass. This isn't

46:29

– Well, why are you saying that? Because he

46:31

said he didn't play? Well, no, no, no. I

46:33

just – I've noticed every single time the Orioles

46:35

are brought up, it's the Jackson holiday

46:38

track. Right. It's the referendum

46:40

on him. Because people are expecting him to be a superstar and so they

46:42

want to see the superstar production. That's all. I

46:45

know. Well, there is no production. If he

46:47

was – Well, nobody's patient. That's the problem. If he was –

46:49

Nobody can let it – Well, we can't – The Orioles can't be patient. Well, then

46:51

send him down. I know. Send

46:54

him down. This isn't like when Adley Rushman

46:56

didn't have an RBI in his first 50-foot

46:58

– 55-pads. That

47:00

was when they brought him up two years ago

47:03

when this team wasn't competing. It's like last year

47:05

when Grayson sucked and they couldn't afford

47:07

him to suck every fifth start because they're

47:09

in the playoff line. It's 162 games. It's

47:12

not about 162 games. You're freaking out about

47:14

a game. I think he'll be fine and I

47:16

don't think it would be a big issue if

47:19

he was five for 30, which

47:21

is not that good. I mean, five for 30

47:23

– Such a small sample size. Yeah, it would be a

47:25

small sample size. It's the fact that he's one for 30,

47:27

which is spectacular. The other thing is, though, and I know

47:29

you brought this up, if you're an Orioles

47:31

fan, you look at what the Norfolk Tides are doing. Kerstot

47:34

already has 10 homers. 21 games. Well,

47:37

they just recalled him. Mayo

47:39

is hitting 344, seven home runs, 19 RBIs.

47:42

It's like they've got guys on the come.

47:44

Well, of course. No,

47:46

no, no. I don't feel like you're

47:48

defensive. No, no, I'm trying to explain that – and

47:51

I guess I'm passionate about it – that

47:53

these games matter. This

47:55

isn't – oh, it's 162 games. Yeah,

47:57

but nobody's saying we don't understand why he didn't

47:59

play. I understand why I didn't play. I know but everyone

48:01

won for 30. But here's

48:04

the thing. I don't blame. They don't need

48:06

those guys to perform. You don't need Kirsted.

48:08

They're fine. They're fourth in the league in

48:10

batting average. They're number one in home runs.

48:12

They don't need holiday. They send him

48:14

down, let him get his confidence back and work

48:16

on things. I agree. They don't need these other

48:18

guys at the Norfolk Times. I'm just asking a

48:20

question. Why is the kid one for 30? I

48:22

mean baseball's hard. That could just be the answer.

48:24

Baseball's hard. I get it. But I'm trying to

48:26

explain. You've seen Aaron Judge's slump? I mean, Aaron

48:28

Judge hits 50 homers a year and he's betting

48:30

175. You can't afford to have him develop in

48:33

high leverage situations. These games are high leverage situations.

48:35

I don't care what you say you could call

48:37

them. The dog days of summer.

48:39

These games matter, especially in a

48:41

division when everyone is above 500.

48:44

So he struck out 16 times EB and

48:46

30 at bats. Well,

48:49

I totally agree. He said I'm going through a little

48:51

bit of some adjustments right now. Obviously not the start

48:53

I was hoping for, but the past few games, I

48:55

feel like there's some good things. Like I've hit the

48:57

ball in the middle of the field pretty well. And

48:59

then a lot of off speed pitches to the middle

49:01

of field, which I'm happy with at a few line

49:03

outs against Minnesota. So maybe they think he's going to

49:05

be fine. Send them down

49:08

because this is becoming a distraction. Looks like

49:10

when he goes three for four, we'll

49:12

talk about it. We go three for

49:14

four. I'm psyched for him to be a superstar.

49:18

But here's the point. Here's the point. They don't

49:20

need him in the lineup right now. The

49:22

lineup is good. That's the move. So holiday needs

49:24

to be sent down. So he's not sitting on.

49:26

There's no reason for him to be sitting on

49:29

the bench. You don't get better that way. It

49:31

reminds me of when Justin Rose turned pro and

49:33

he missed like 30 straight. Right. Right. And then

49:35

he ended up having a Hall of Fame career.

49:37

But by the way, he's not being benched because

49:40

of performance. He hasn't faced any kind of lefties.

49:43

So they literally are not being benched. You just know,

49:46

well, I mean, eventually he's going to have to. So send

49:48

him down if he's one for 30, let him get

49:51
