Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Lebatore Show with the Stugats Podcast. Over the years, Stugats, we don't have a lot of people who get to work in our particular playground and then leave to go do many other things. We have a place, you know, we're fortunate to have these jobs doing this silly thing. And Chris Whittingham sat in those old stinky studios at one time and said, with a straight face, in a very cramped studio, that he would not want to have the career of jim gray the hall of fame
Starting point is 00:00:47 uh... hollywood star career of jim gray who's still doing a podcast with tom brady and is one of the great you know sports journalists with you that you can't dispute that he's one of the great sports journalists that there's been correct i'd no doubt he's a hall of famer i mean and and winning him said I wouldn't rather I wouldn't rather have his career I'd rather stay here, but winning him did get what represents for him a dream job It would be like Stu gots getting program director and being able to install himself as the morning show host and the afternoon show host Yeah, because that's your job right program director is second or third on my list
Starting point is 00:01:24 I only wanted the PD job to give myself the dream job. Right, program director is second or third on my list. I only wanted the PD job to give myself the dream job of hosting afternoon drive. Or morning drive if you felt like it or any. I don't like mornings. Okay, yeah, well maybe not, but so that you could be heard wherever it is that the world could hear you.
Starting point is 00:01:39 But Wittingham is now calling meaningful games. Keep in mind, this is a person who we were introduced to when he was doing games at WFAN as a 17-year-old or whatever and we're like, listen. WVUM. QAM, that's a fine. Excuse me, yes, WVUM. WVUM, that's a fine for me too. Double fine.
Starting point is 00:01:55 A couple steps below FAN. My fault. The campus radio station, WVUM, listened to by nobody and now he is calling nobody. Nobody was listening back then, nobody and now he is calling nobody nobody was listening back then nobody he was doing called it was just us listening to his games it was a device and he was great a prodigy and now he's making giant calls in giant moments at the top of the sport
Starting point is 00:02:20 breaking free comparisons nobody back at kimi's got company. Mbappe with Kola Mouhanni. Mbappe to finish it off. The save from Ter Stegen on the follow, the save from Asensio. And Mbappe! Paris Saint-Germain into the semifinal! Kylian Mbappe in his last dance with the club Killing Mbappe in his last dance with the club with a decisive goal. The key is to like be yelling and then end it quickly. He's so good. It's a good goal.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Yours was not a good call. Watch, listen to what I'm talking about here. Powder sent, Draman into the semifinal. Final. Yeah, you're not doing it as well as he does it. I didn't know what was going on. He's got... I mean, say goal here.
Starting point is 00:03:08 All right, well, let's examine this for a second. Someone made the semi-final. Yes, but also, he's being helped by the rocket-shot sounds of a ball being saved and going... Like you can hear the ball being kicked. It's musically perfect. Like his energy and tone in meeting each of the moments brings you there in a way that's really moving to me. And now breaking free, come Paris Saint-Germain, nobody back, Hakimi's got company, Mbappe
Starting point is 00:03:36 with Kona Mouhanni, Mbappe to finish it off, the save from Tersegan, on the follow, the save from Asensio. And Mbappe! Powder sent German into the semi-final! Killian Mbappe in his last dance with the club! With the decisive goal! Here's what's one of the funny things about that is he wasn't ready to call the goal. He was in the middle of saying Mbappe's name and then it sounded like someone stuck a finger up his ass. And then Mbappe!
Starting point is 00:04:09 And then Mbappe! He wasn't ready to make the call. He was in the middle of saying Mbappe's name. And then Mbappe! And that's what it would sound like. Yo, how's your uncle? Yeah, how's your uncle? He reacted well to that then.
Starting point is 00:04:24 That's correct. He had to. That's why we're saying he's good we're saying I would have been like hey who's got a finger in my ass Mike I would be a really weird goal. It would be that would be weird for someone to do that at that moment So did someone do that to witty or not? Their legends majesty They're legends. They're legends. Majesties. When are you gonna hate this segment? What are we doing to this guy?
Starting point is 00:04:45 I hate this segment. They're great together. What do you mean you hate this segment? Yesterday was a really cool sports day and we largely ignored the Champions League and the NHL. We just said it was crazy. I mean, it was like red zone. Everything was happening at the same time.
Starting point is 00:05:00 It was bonkers. Yesterday was a really, it was a beautiful day of soccer. It was an incredible day. It was an incredible day. Both champions league games yesterday were incredible, especially the Dortmund Athletico Madrid game where teams just kept trading off spots in the semifinal and to have witty at the center of it calling Mbappe's insurance goal there against, at point they were like a nine man side in Barcelona red card after red card it was just an awesome day in sports honestly it was one of those days that you'll remember forever and we're talking about Ray Hudson putting his finger up Chris

Starting point is 00:07:44 All of us who were watching college football elevated everything the weekend was because we missed football in general so very much. You didn't watch the ending of UTEP Jacksonville State. It was awesome. A doozy. Boom. Stugatz. Such a lane for you.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Just everything in college football is awesome. Any single thing that happens, she gets deliriously happy about. Don't you miss viewing sports through that prism though? Like I'm envious of Lucy. Like I wish that I could still be happy. This is the Dunn LeBattar Show with the StuGuts. Stugats! Hey Dan, I don't know why I did the hip pump. I'm in such a good mood because we are here in New York.
Starting point is 00:08:35 We're at the Empire State Building right now. We're here for the WNBA draft. Everything is freaking awesome. And I just think it would be such a cool bit if you let me move here look how happy I look I got to hang out with a friend two friends this whole week that's crazy so just think about it and I'm not even counting counting Caitlin is one of those friends she didn't say hello to me with her voice but she did with her eyes so please
Starting point is 00:09:02 with her eyes. So please. You know what would be so crazy and so cool? If you let me move here. Start spreading the news. Oh hang out with Pablo. He would love to hang out with me. I'm leaving today. Charlotte's gotta be pretty lonely up here. New York, New York.
Starting point is 00:09:32 The Iowa women's basketball team is here. Loudest cheers of the night. So as women's basketball fans, how cool is it to see a crowd like this here for a WNBA event? Oh, it's insane. Yeah. We love to see it.
Starting point is 00:09:48 They're amazing athletes, so it was about damn time. Is this your first WNBA draft? Oh yeah. Yes, yes. Why this draft? I mean, Caitlin Clark, obviously. We're from Iowa. Of course, we're Hawkeyes.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Who has been the player you are most excited to see so far? I love Rekia. Caitlyn and Paige. I mean, Caitlyn, but then I saw Paige and like claps. So. They all look so good. Like, I have to say Caitlyn. I love her as a person.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I love her as a basketball player. I feel like she just like understands the game. This is so embarrassing. Oh my god, girl. I have said this so many times before. I would die for her. I said I wasn't going gonna ask any uncomfortable questions, but I have to do this now.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Do you love Caitlin Clark or your girlfriend more? Oh, good question. My girlfriend of course. No! My girlfriend. No, because I would be scared if I was in a room. Ha ha ha! ["Dreams of a New World"] Caitlin Clark.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Oh! Oh! Oh! Congrats, you got Caitlin Clark. ["Dreams of a New World"] I'm Kate Lawrence. That's Kate Lawrence. ["There Goes My Hero"] There goes my hero. Dan, I feel alive again.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I think I'm back. It was a really tough eight days, but I'm feeling really good now. Kate and Caitlin got drafted, I'm feeling awesome. Everybody looked beautiful. You're probably like, Lucy, did you work too hard? Is that why you're sitting down? Not necessarily.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I would say Rose did most of the heavy lifting on this trip. I have been rewatching Sex and the City. Every time I rewatch Sex and the City, I'm like, I have got to start wearing like, like heels and stuff. So I wore heels and my feet hurt so bad. So I'm doing the full New York experience.
Starting point is 00:11:33 I had a blast. Thank you for sending me here. And I cannot wait to go to every Indiana fever game on your dime. Let me ignore all my friends' problems. What are you about my... Oh. Charlotte, give me money. your dime. Let me ignore all my friends. I fear she's ripping us off.
Starting point is 00:12:02 She goes to New York to tell us to send her to New York so that she could just get close to Caitlin Clark wherever Caitlin Clark is and just have her, the camera with Caitlin Clark. Some good access we got to Caitlin. Every time that she walked in front of a camera, we were there. A brisk walk in front of a line of cameras, and Metalark was there. I feel like we just sent Lucy to the WNBA draft to enjoy a party and to sort of be in the general scent of Caitlin Clark and ask people about Caitlin Clark. That's exactly what you did. She said hello with her eyes.
Starting point is 00:12:33 True. She mentioned Sex and the City, which is now on Netflix, which is why a lot of people are now watching it for the first time. And I have a Franco Harris-like admission to make, which is that growing up, I was very confused that there was a Carrie Bradshaw and a Terry Bradshaw. Wow. That's a great admission. So you thought that the head of Sex in the City,
Starting point is 00:12:58 a time of empowerment for sexuality on HBO, that the star of that show was Terry Bradshaw, the former Steelers quarterback, who shared a backfield with Frank O'Harris. Or that the Steelers had a woman quarterback. I wasn't really sure when I was very young who Terry Bradshaw was. Shouldn't you have been?
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah, I mean, it was not that. Not really. No, you're young, no, you shouldn't mean it was not that bad. Not really, no, no. No, you shouldn't have been. For a show called Sex in the City, not a lot of sex. Samantha was really the only sexually liberated one. And even now, by our standards today, I mean that's the interesting conversation happening with the show, Dan, is now younger people
Starting point is 00:13:37 watching it and being like, wow, is this what the 2000s were like? Yes. Whisk Gang. They were. This was shocking. I was more so just like, are they related one of them the other ones wife or daughter? Am I getting the names wrong? Why do they rhyme? Did they name the character after Terry Bradshaw?
Starting point is 00:13:53 Turns out none of those things are true. It just was a coincidence. I guess I'm glad Lucy went to New York so we could have this conversation I mean I would recommend a couple of things that I've found recently on Netflix that aren't Sex in the City. I've been very disappointed with the reincarnation of Sex in the City from the movie to all of its forms, whatever it is that Max is doing with it. And just like that. Yes, I didn't, I hate watched the entirety of that, but Baby Reindeer, I would recommend to you if you want to crawl around in your own skin and feel very uncomfortable around
Starting point is 00:14:25 stalking. It is excellently done, and I would also recommend. I felt that watching Lucy's video. Yeah, so Agreed you can't resize the video, but it's caused two different conversations based on Netflix shows I've watched baby reindeer, and it is fantastic. It is creepy. I'm surprised that you have watched. I watched two episodes Okay, did you think it was reindeer games I did guy Richie's the gentleman is also very good It's it's really good But like we saw the movie already so now the movies like just like the show but longer and I'm like, yeah Not for you. No, no, it's for me. Like I like it. I've watched the entire thing But like we saw the movie you guys are binging the wrong thing. What do you mean? Two new episodes of Bluey dropped.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah. I mean. Of what? Bluey. I'm not in that demo. I didn't like it. I only watched the long one. I didn't see the new one.
Starting point is 00:15:15 I didn't see the second one. I saw the longer one. I don't want to spoil it for people. The 28 minute one? Yeah. Oh man. I was an emotional wreck watching this. Why? For those that don't have kids. Is it ending? Oh man, I was an emotional wreck watching this.
Starting point is 00:15:25 For those that don't have kids. Is it ending? It's kind of like a cliffhanger ending. Oh shit. Yeah, I don't. Wait until 10 years from now, you find out they had it in a pitch for Damien Lillard, Bluey, trying to get Dame to the heat,
Starting point is 00:15:38 and he turned them down. I don't want to spoil it for people, but I didn't like the little twist at the end. Dude, when Bandit shows up, he pulls up, and he takes the for sale sign out of the ground when the entire episode, Bingo and Bluey, are trying to sabotage the house being sold, I gotta tell you, it hit me.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It hit me. I didn't like the lesson. Like sometimes life changes. Like I think the lesson there couldn't be, hey, we gotta move to a new place and it's all gonna be okay. The lesson at the end of just, oh, you don't wanna move?
Starting point is 00:16:09 All right, we're gonna stay then? The lesson is we know how much we mean to you and this would be a huge change if we went away, viewer. We're not going anywhere. We're gonna be there for you. As your child grows up and watches all sorts of terrible children's TV programming, we're gonna be that oasis in the desert.
Starting point is 00:16:28 We're gonna have the best example of a father since the 1960s, honestly, on television. Just a model father. Since who? You gotta go to black and white TV. Really? Yeah. Sitcom dads, you're talking about model fathers,
Starting point is 00:16:46 father knows best. Bandit is an icon. He is dad goals. Phil Dumpy's pretty strong. I feel like the sitcom dad lately has been stereotyped to be like the dumbass. Like that's been- That is Phil Dumpy.
Starting point is 00:16:59 That's modern family. I thought my father was the death of the sitcom dad. I thought that that's where it all went to die. You know, like, Bluey's parents occasionally, like, allude to wilder times when they were single. And, you know, they don't treat the parents like they're idiots. And it's, I didn't know, there were a couple of,
Starting point is 00:17:19 there's a show that deals with low-key miscarriages where they make, they don't come out and say it, but there are shows that have these really deeper messages and you find yourself getting emotionally invested and then when they threaten to move it away you're like, no, I'm not ready for this to go, Bluey. I'm not ready for you to go. And then that dad rips that for sale sign out of the ground. Strong, strong dog. And you realize that they're not gonna go anywhere. I don't have to do this by myself.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Yeah, I'm getting a little choked up just talking about it right now. Wait, so Bluey's a dog, but he's not Blue's Clues? Bluey's a girl. Huh. But a dog. Terry Bradshaw, Terry Bradshaw, all over again. Blue from Blue's Clues is also a girl.
Starting point is 00:18:02 That was stunning to find out. Stugats also. Because historically Blue is also a girl. That was stunning to find out. Stugatz also. Because historically, Blue is associated with boys. We get it. Progressive. Also stunning to find out, Stugatz. I can't believe what I'm about to report. Are you ready to get an explosive report
Starting point is 00:18:18 that perhaps you may have missed? Yes. I know what it is. Take a guess. Hannah Cavender's coming back to UM women's basketball. No, that is not it. It is something more in the Stugats wheelhouse but it also is in the rare place where I also believe that Stugats has said dismissively, I'm tired of those. I don't want any more
Starting point is 00:18:40 in my life. There will be no more of those and what I'm about to say is a Don Van not a seth wickersham patriots report at here at deep dive uh... i'd be done into bellichat was that possible deep dive into bellichat but he did his father dot you thought so but there are a couple of things here that i want to share with you in the audience uh... this is from andrew callahan of uh... of one of the Boston newspapers. He is quoting ESPN and saying this.
Starting point is 00:19:07 It's where I'm getting my information. It's how I'm finding out that it's Wickersham and Don Van Nata. He told Confidence he would be, Confidence. Sounds like it's Callahan. He would be, it's not Callahan. It's Van Nata and Seth Wickersham and it's Callahan borrowing their reporting.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Callahan, a great Boston name. It is a great, anytime it's a Callahan in Boston giving you Belichick information, it's credible. Didn't he break the news that they decided when they were overseas to get rid of him? Was it Andrew Callahan who did that? I think it was. Well, he's now just quoting ESPN.
Starting point is 00:19:35 This is Classic Callahan reporting on what Seth Wecker, Sham, and Don Manato are reporting, which is he's told Confidanti he'd be interested in coaching the Cowboys, the Eagles, or the Giants. He was blindsided by it. Who does he think he is, Deon Sanders? He'll get one of those jobs. He was blindsided by Atlanta's hiring of Raheem Morris. He was not among the top three choices for any of the Falcons' top decision makers during
Starting point is 00:19:57 their coaching search. He is about to sign a media deal with Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions. And then what's also happening around this is some people are saying that, and I need to know what the reporting is on this, whether it's Wickersham or not, that Robert Kraft reportedly called Arthur Blank to warn him not to trust Bill Belichick as a potential head coach for the Falcons.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I need to know what the reporting is on that. Who's reporting that because you're suggesting that Kraft is actively getting in the way of Belichick getting a job. Is it not Seth Wickersham? That's reporting it? I think it's Don Vannata. They've got a third one on it though. There's a third name attaching them. Why would they attach their name and credibility to the story? And they've never taken a third person on a deep dive. Fowler's the third one. Not Chris. Jeremy.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Dan, put it on the poll. More prolific reporting duo, Vanada and Wickersham or Woodward and Bernstein. Did you know that Jeremy Fowler and Chris Fowler were not related? Really? What? Neither were Kerry and Terry. Bernstein. That's a fine. Don Lebatard.
Starting point is 00:21:06 They would try to bring in some minority characters and you could... That's what they did. Yeah, they tried. Luis Aguirre was one of them. They tried to dabble in Latin flavor and they went and got... Maurice Chestnut was one. Morris. Oh, Morris Chestnut. I'm sorry. God, what a beefcake in that show.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Miranda, why didn't you stay with him? I mean, we're gonna go with Steve on this one, seriously? Stugats! Oh, no. Clear out, I have to issue her an apology. Uh-oh, oh, no, oh, no. Is it a Sex and the City apology? I would like to formally apologize to Blair Underwood
Starting point is 00:21:39 for calling him Morris Chestnut. Oh, no. Ah. Wow. Look. LA Law, man, come on, yo. This is the Dan LeVatar Show with the StuGats. ["Again the Sred"] It's time for
Starting point is 00:22:04 Again the Spread! And of course it is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKrings, the crown is yours. That was one of those Zion things. That's good for DraftKings when I did that. I want the first crack at doubting the Miami Heat
Starting point is 00:22:26 and the playoff run. I will take the Philadelphia 76ers minus five. Ooh. Wow. Just need that money line to come in for a couple of poor leaskeys. Like the pick. I do not believe that there will be some magical pixie dust
Starting point is 00:22:40 of playoff Jimmy tonight, but I hope I'm wrong. According to DraftKings, that line is five and a half points. So you have Philadelphia minus five and a half? Yes. It's DraftKings. Okay, sorry about that. Or if you're subtitling our show, Giraffe Kings. I would like to take the first crack
Starting point is 00:22:54 at supporting this Miami Heat team and believing in playoff Jimmy. Yeah. The Heat plus five and a half. They're gonna win the game outright, but I am taking the Heat plus five and a half. They're going to win the game outright, but I am taking The Heat plus five and a half against the Sprint. Yeah, against the Sprint.
Starting point is 00:23:10 The last predictions Dugats made was that Tiger Woods, who finished in last place, would win the Masters. That was a flyer, not a prediction. Yeah, I said chef flu. Much like Jimmy Butler, none of your predictions ever stick to you, so let's just keep it moving. I'm going to take the Dallas Stars.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I think they clinched the top seed in the West with a win over the St. Louis Blues. Blues were feisty this season, but Dallas is really good. There's about seven teams that can come out of the West, and it wouldn't surprise you. I'm gonna take the Minutes, one and a half on the goal line, against the Sprint! I'm going to Friday's action,
Starting point is 00:23:41 Sacramento Kings versus the Norlins, Pelicans, Zion, Ify, Hamstring, who who knows I'm gonna take the Kings plus one like the beam I'm gonna piggyback off of Stu gots and try to break this tie I have a very strong feeling about the Miami Heat tonight Wow I know that what you guys thinking 76ers are a better team maybe the case, but they're not gonna win by five and a half. I'm not saying the Heat are gonna win the game, but the culture is not gonna allow the Heat to go down like punks and lose by five and a half points.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Take the Heat tonight, plus five and a half against the Sprats. Yesterday on the show, Stu Gotz, we were celebrating John Sterling. Chris Cody did all of it, celebrating John Sterling, just so that he could show a foul ball going off of his face. And I didn't get to this yesterday,
Starting point is 00:24:31 and I meant to, and it's just left over. But one of the great sounds in the show's history, Suzy Waldman was on the sideline, or not on the sideline, she was doing sort of radio-adjacent broadcasting, and they were very excited because Roger Clemens had returned and was simply in a skybox in Yankee Stadium and to say that the reporting was breathless is to understate it. Roger Clemens is in George's box and Roger Clemens is coming back. Oh my goodness gracious
Starting point is 00:25:01 is coming back. Oh my goodness gracious. Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen, Roger Clemens standing right in George Steinbrenner's box, announcing he is back. Roger Clemens is a New York Yankee. I hated that moment. Because I was there in 03 when Florida nailed it. When the Moreland fans nailed the sendoff for Roger Clemens.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I was proud of us. We were actually aware of what was going on. And then he took that away from us. Shades of Christopher Walken, the way he says, in his box. The watch. Hubba hubba, I agree. I don't know if you guys have noticed,
Starting point is 00:25:39 but you have had me shouting at the hills in a crazed sort of fashion about things changing about the earth. Coyotes are just leaving Arizona. They have no interest in being in Arizona anymore. And I just think that we need to pay attention to some of the things that earth is trying to tell us about just coyotes are done.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Like these are scavenger animals who know where to find food and how to find food. But hold on a second, we had you shouting to the hills like it was our plan? I am, no, what is happening is I am shouting, yeah, for some reason, early this week you were surprised to learn because you live in a cul-de-sac that Florida has a lot of guns. There are a lot of things happening on earth that are alarming. Is this about the Arizona coyotes moving to Salt Lake City? Because that's not the animal, that's the team.
Starting point is 00:26:24 That's a team. Oh, I got the's not the animal, that's the team. That's the team. Oh, I got the story wrong. Yeah, it's a team. The team that has been playing in Mullet Arena, it's got like 2,500 seats. Everything about the Coyotes has been amateurish. They have the worst playing in the league. They're not paying their hotel bills, allegedly.
Starting point is 00:26:42 They have an owner that keeps promising and getting fans excited that they got a stadium, that they have a new stadium coming when they don't even have the land. They have to win it in an auction. And the Arizona Coyotes, who were originally the Winnipeg Jets, moved to Arizona. I thought that there was a good passionate fan base there, but they've just had broken promise after broken promise after broken promise. Can you imagine the Russians that are on that team being told about the two drink maximum in Salt Lake City? I am so sad for them.
Starting point is 00:27:10 However, there have been people that have been doing good reporting on this and they couldn't be more happy about the move because everything about Arizona has been small time. Now Arizona and the existing owner apparently have a five year window to get an expansion team because the NHL realizes it's important to be in Arizona and you may wonder I tangentially follow this sport why is Arizona so important well even though Keith was playing there and you can explain that to them the Kachuk brothers from Arizona Austin Matthews an American hockey player that is playing and starring for the Toronto Maple Leafs, about to get 70 goals.
Starting point is 00:27:48 He's from Arizona. Does he have access to the sport if this franchise doesn't exist there? You're starting to see how Florida is sprouting this amazing hockey culture. Wayne Gretzky just announced that his academy is coming to West Palm Beach, Florida. You're getting this beautiful game growing in other parts of the country. And while I'm super excited for Salt Lake City, they've been trying to get a franchise for a long time and it seems as though it'll finally feel like a major league operation when they've been an island of misfit toys for a long time. But I really sincerely hope that
Starting point is 00:28:17 whatever the ownership situation is in Arizona and in the greater Phoenix area, that they figure it out, because hockey really belongs in that area, and the nation is better for having hockey in that area. I can tell you where it doesn't belong, Utah. Guys, come on, that was ass-off by Dan, and you're just gonna brush it aside? I mean, we couldn't even tell if you were serious or not for a minute. I thought you were for, like I was.
Starting point is 00:28:43 We could've done the whole segment talking about actual coyotes in Arizona. I was so excited about Mocking. And now we're talking about hockey now? Wait, today should be a scene. It's important for Arizona to have a hockey team because three NHL players were born in Arizona. There's been more, and by the way, that's your first.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Hockey will be fine without Arizona, Mike. They wouldn't have seen hockey if they'd not had a hometown team. Billy, with all due respect, I just rattled off the first scoring line for Team USA hockey, all with Arizona roots. That's pretty damn good, all right? And it's going to be an insane scene tonight in Arizona
Starting point is 00:29:12 because I think I may have alerted a lot in our audience to the fact that they've been playing in Arizona State's hockey facility. You have Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers going to a 2,500 seat arena today in which the locker rooms are essentially held up by curtains. It's probably, it might be the last professional hockey game
Starting point is 00:29:31 in this state for quite some time if their ownership group doesn't come to the table. And I can't think of a better place to find tickets than Game Time. That's right. If you're in Arizona and you wanna see your Yodis for the final time, watch and download the Game Time app. Create an account and use code Dan
Starting point is 00:29:50 for $20 off your first purchase. Terms apply. Last-minute tickets, like this scenario, you know sometimes leading up to the event, the ticket prices go down. That's why you always got to monitor the Game Time app. You do that and I promise you, you use that code Dan, not only will you get $20 off your first purchase, but you won't see any hijinks, upfront fees, you even get to see where you'd be sitting in this 2500 seat arena.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I love you game time, thank you so much, lowest price, guaranteed. Shame on you, shame on all of you. Imagine how Dan must feel right now. All of his teammates just left him hanging, thinking surely this man can't be so silly that he thought coyotes were leaving Arizona. We were ready to pound him.
Starting point is 00:30:34 And not the coyotes. And we could have gone with it. We could have yes-anded Dan. And instead, you had to do some stupid little bit about hockey and game time. Thank you for sponsoring the show, but it's ridiculous. That felt like an insincere thank you,
Starting point is 00:30:50 thank you for sponsoring the show. Thank you for sponsoring the show, but we could've done the read another time. Thank you, thank you. Can we just play again? The Doss and Matthews gets a 70. Can you guys understand where we're headed for two months? We haven't seen that since Mogilny.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Mike hit you with another with all due respect, and the playoffs haven't even started yet. Another with all due respect. The hockey playoffs haven't started. He's just like poo-pooing the top scoring line. You do not poo-poo the Kachuk name. Don't poo-poo it. And Austin Matthews.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Don't poo-poo it. What he's saying is they would have arrived where they arrived, whether hockey existed in Arizona or not. Don't poo-poo What he's saying is they would have arrived where they arrived, whether hockey existed in Arizona or not. Don't poo poo the Kachuk name. The Kachuk brothers, probably. They could have just as easily started in Winnipeg. But it's a great American hockey name.
Starting point is 00:31:34 This big city bias, we have all the major sports teams, so we just assume that all these little towns don't produce any professional athletes because they don't have professional sports teams. And I'll have you know the bread and butter of professional sports sports the home he misspoke his country this boats yeah coming coming coming from that up Taylor coming from the maker today of in our panther group chat I'm not premise of the premise. Spodes. Draft crings.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Crings. I'm not a rational. Dan's at Coyote's. We're leaving Arizona. I'm so less certain. So irrational. Dukats here from my friends over at Simply Safe. Springtime is all about fresh air, fresh starts,
