The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 2: Sir Jay Bababka

Episode Date: June 1, 2023

Dan knows the audience is sick of Miami Heat talk, but Jeremy and the rest of the Shipping Container just want to be sure we've thoroughly explored EVERY potential storyline including Kevin Love's vibes, the impact of Nickelback, and more. Then, it's time to do the same thing for our Florida Panthers including Charles Barkley's love of Sir Jay Bababka and the Cats shot to win the Stanley Cup.

You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabel Tarshall with the Stugat's Podcast. I think we finally run off, Jessica. I'm not sure that she still wants to work at Metal Arc and I'm not totally sure I blame her. I'm annoyed by our show and how much our show is talking Miami Heat Basketball. No. We have to pivot. This is annoying every... No. She's quit. Has she? Where? Yeah, she's left for the day, but you're right. It's been a lot. I know it's game one of the NBA

finals, but everyone's going to feel like it's too much just because it's our team. So we, we hear or because it's too much. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, we want to make sure that we are judicious with how much we talk about it. But unfortunately... Well, shouldn't this have been decided? We've been at this. There's just so much meat on the bone. And luckily for you and the listener,

we're making sure that we've got every angle covered. So, we've devised a new segment called, here are our things about the heat we haven't gotten to yet. There's a lot. There's quite a lot. So if you think, the listener thinks, life has been hard listening to this show, keep in mind, there's just so much more we could have talked about.

And you're in luck, we're gonna get to it in this segment. No. Here it is, things about the heat to it in this segment. No. Here it is. Things about the heap, we actually haven't gotten to yet. Can we talk about Kevin Love? Let's talk about Kevin Love. Yeah. The Kevin Love effect.

Did you know that he's made the finals anytime he's ever made the playoffs, Dan? Undefeated in the playoffs. No. He's just like the Marlins in full seasons. If they make the playoffs, they're going to the world series. Kevin Love makes the playoffs, he's going like the the Marlins in full seasons if they make the playoffs. They're going to the world series Kevin Love makes the playoffs. He's going to the finals and you know, I'm pretty sure Somebody and I don't remember who it was, but someone came on this show a couple of weeks ago

this guy and did some journalism Speaking with players in the heat locker room. No. And came here to this show and said that Kevin loves vibe, changed things in the heat locker room and gave some credit to Kevin Love and what he was able to do both on the floor and off the floor and said that that made a pretty large impact in how long has this I told you so. Duncan Robinson.

Can you shorten up the I told you so? Duncan Robinson, just yesterday on JJ Reddix podcast Said you know what Kevin love changed the vibe in the locker room and that changed everything for us So that's one thing that's just one he showed the value of laughter. He said he brought a sense of humor Everyone wonders what I bring around here. I'm the Kevin love of this Well yesterday was much of nothing because we couldn't find you and it wasn't laughter It was simmering rain. Yeah, we haven't seen them for two days. But if you're bothered by the Kevin Love part, Dan, we do have some other things we talk about.

No, no, no, no, wait, you say just to be clear, I just want to be clear what this segment is. Because there's just been plenty that we haven't gotten to. But he's alleging that what we haven't gotten to is him doing. I told you so. Well, the Kevin Love. That's just one part. That's just one. That's just kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept the kept kept the kept the kept kept the kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept the kept kept the kept the kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept the kept the kept kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept the kept kept The next one's good. Did you know, Dan, that Jimmy Butler playing Nickelback in the locker room really changed this entire season? Yeah. Another, I told you so from him. No, I just think, me.

Just things we're not talking about. Yeah, we're just talking about him. We're just talking about him. I haven't talked enough about that. Why did he not leave? Why did you just overrule? Because he gets to, he talk gets to overrule being sent to the penalty box.

He's essentially the host of this segment, which is called things about the heat we haven't gotten around to. But I don't want to do that. I want to be in with the audience against that. But I have Vincent has a lot of money. Not a lot of people talking about it. I feel like we're talking about it on this show. Gabe Vincent is playing himself into one heck of a contract and I think teams all around the league are going to be interested in Gabe Vincent is playing himself into one heck of a contract. And I think teams all around the league are going to be interested in Gabe Vincent's

services. Yeah. Well, hopefully we've recouped enough value from Duncan Robinson. Say he's NBA champion Duncan Robinson. Maybe there's a way that the Miami Heat can keep Gabe Vincent. It's going to be difficult for them. Speaking of Duncan Robinson, another thing we haven't talked enough about is him holding his ear up to the crowd in Boston.

I have talked about that. I don't understand. No, but you just talked about it in passing. Let's actually have a conversation about it. You know, Duncan Robinson pointed out he is obviously from the area watched games in Boston and said that his number has been the same since high school, his phone number. And so he was put into a group chat after game six, after missing a couple of shots in the final couple of minutes

with a bunch of Celtics fans who were just absolutely obliterating him. So he went into game seven, knowing he wanted to do something to showboat and said, yeah, 10 points and up 20, that's the time where I'll go ahead and hold my ear to the audience. No.

I can't do much more of this. Oh. How about Brian Winhorse linking the Miami Heat to Damien Littlebarp? Oh. How do we go about that? So, I want to move past this season. Tell me it's for bam. Haven't had enough time.

Tell me it's for bam. Oh no, it'll be for Duncan Roberts. We're two games away from Mike Ryan again. If they're down to O coming back to Miami and Bam can't do anything with Yokech, we're two games away from him again trading and maybe one game away. Maybe a game here tomorrow. So many bad Bam games on the playoffs.

So many. Again, he's good defensively. If you now read the Barry Jackson article, he's all this stuff he does. He's all the screens. One for nine against Chicago with your season on the line. He had three screens in that game though. Oh three screens. Oh What is that? Who is that character? Who is that?

Who is that person? That's the person who celebrates three screens with a jaoli. What where's he from? That sounds like Will Farrell is Harry Carey. Maybe Will Ferrell is John Madden. Is there anything else about them? I mean, we haven't gotten around to me yet. Let me think first thing. I wanna think about it, but I think there's a chance that we've gotten to just about everything. Oh no, I have a list. Oh, you got a list.

Oh, you got a list. Oh, you got a list. I wanna hear this. I wanna hear this. Well, Aaron Gordon just got done saying that he's guarded Kevin Durant and he's guarded LeBron and he's guarded Carl Anthony Towns. And for some reason, he says Jimmy is the most complete player.

He will have guarded during this postseason. Those are three names that are pretty hard to guard at any size and at Aaron Gordon's size. Yeah, you know what I, let me peel back the layers to this one. Aaron Gordon historically has defended Jimmy very effectively. I mean, very effectively. He is just trying to build Jimmy up. So if he does what he's been doing his entire career,

he looks spectacular. He is setting up a challenge that he actually thinks it's easily achievable. But what he doesn't know is Jimmy Butler is a sociopath and numbers make no sense in the playoffs. I've also got here how good it must have felt for Ma, uh, for Max Truce on the gram to just post that the Celtics waved him. That was great. Now you're playing the game. Don't call it a gram. Just stop. Don't, don't

do not say the gram. Don't call it a gram. Just stop doing that. Do not say the gram. Please. Drop the thug. Was that just say you can say Instagram? And we'll all understand. No one's gonna be like in their car like, this loser called Instagram Instagram. I see.

They will be judging you if you say the gram. He did it on insta. Still not good though. Still not good though. Jess you're not good Jessica's not here. She has fled the premises because she doesn't want anymore Miami he talked but I do there is one place where I do one last place before we get to game one We're all going to enjoy it tonight But there is one last morsel of information I want to get to that is the last one on the internet and we can be done with this

And then we'll start all over right after game one and do it all over again tomorrow When you are in the position that the stakes are fluctuating from game to game one game Jason Tatum's amazing 50 points get out of here joelyn bade We're doing legacy talk from game to game quarter to quarter, all of it's crazy. It's nuts. It's high intensity nuts. We're assessing what we're going to think of you five years from now. And Jimmy Butler, three games ago, oh, he's Michael Jordan. And then what are your bomb legacy game, legacy game, legacy game for Jimmy Butler? And it's just unhinged. When Jason Tatum goes off with an ankle injury

or makes a big show of an ankle injury, limps off the press conference stage, making a big show of he's hurt and Boston radio is filled with, he was gonna miss the finals. That's a high ankle sprain, even though it didn't look like a high ankle sprain. And the segment is things we haven't gotten to about the

classic low ankle sprain. No, but I was putting them together. No, I'm putting them together with, I'm putting it with LeBron's torn tendon segment is things we haven't gotten to about the classic low ankle but i would put in the gather no i'm putting them together with i'm putting it with lebron's torn tendon in his foot i think when he scores forty points and i'm putting it against jimmy butler saying i don't talk about it they asked him about his ankle and he said i do not talk about it as shoms leaks a report out of nowhere immediately after the seltics lose

hey robert williams was throwing up during the game like what was leaked to shams is something it was leaked to him tummy issues robert williams shams is going out and giving people the explanation tummy issues so give me what's true and what's not in if any of us were injured at work

We'd love to use it as an explanation excuse But in the scenario I'm describing for you It seems like LeBron's people and Tatum are the only ones Doing that and whoever it is that's doing that on behalf of Robert Williams Where they're trying to get a hold of narrative on will you please buy us some sympathy we are tummy hurt excuses are like assholes in that Boston's got a ton of them. I mean I cut my nail a little too short my thumb really hurts right now and I'm here today. I threw my back down to gym. I'm here today. A tummy issue though I would have a hard time playing an NBA basketball game.

Yeah a fear. Why did that where that tummy you come from? I mean, terrified he was. I haven't had a solid shit since Bill Clinton was in office. Oh, wow. Not a solid shit. I don't understand. I can vouch for that. I'm in a shit. What does that have to do with anything?

I don't really, it's just- And yet, I ascended to the very height of my industry. How old were you when Bill Clinton was in office? Besides the point. You're saying that you've had digestive problems since you were nine, since you were 12? How short my nail is on my thumb? Look how long the nail is on my pinky.

How the easier for Coke, Dan. Well, you got in there awfully quick, explaining that, Tony. Somebody told me that in my ear. Wait, can I say my joke again? Cause it was a really good one then excuses are like assholes in that boss and Scott a ton of I heard your show call that's really

good. Oh yeah. Yeah. Well crafted. Yeah. Good job. Good work. But Jessica is left as have many of our listeners. No, why would they do that? Because the show has gotten unhinged obnoxious. I don't blame Jessica for hating everything that's happening around it. You created a narrative. I read what was, you know, some side swipes, but largely a complimentary article about our show

on awful announcing. And you've just set this narrative that I'm annoying and obnoxious because that's how they introduce me and I'm wondering like why would this person who doesn't know me and doesn't know what I do is largely performative calling me annoying and obnoxious and it's because either number one, eight, I am and I don't think that's the reason or two,

Dan's always introducing me that way. So I think it's that one, largely performative. I don't know how you can be annoying and obnoxious if you're always right. Oh my God, why is he still here? No. Los ojos. La calle vamos todos a cieras, pero lo más aterradores no sabrán que confiar. Uy de las personas que os piden que mireis. Okay, come to the phone. See, doesn't it sound better? Everybody does not. It does not sound better. It sounds. He is absolutely slurring. Is hey, everybody. By the way, not surprising at all that he would answer the phone and think just everybody is that it's only one person calling it's everybody still got

19 Miller lights deep He's doing a little show a little show everything is good content He's doing a little show! A little show, everything is good content. The red coat. It's like he's chewing red coating. Hi everybody. VCC Don LeBatars Show with Estugat. All right, folks, let's actually do something

that isn't heat talk. All right? Yeah. Yeah. I heard Dan's complain. I hear the audience is complaints. And I want to do something that is not heat talk. Something that we've largely ignored on the show

and that I think it's important that we get to. Panthers. It's the Panthers. The Florida Panthers are better than Sam and I absolutely. Yeah, Vegas Golden Knight can't wait. Puck tropes on Saturday. And just what a time to be alive. And there's been a lot more respect

given to the Florida Panthers on the series price. Currency of our friends over at DraftKings, a slight underdog in this series. And Roy, I wanna talk to you specifically about how these two teams match up because the strength of the Panthers defense is the forecheck, is the fords. But they're allowing a lot of shots in in fact in the last series

Which I need I remind you and Rod Brenda Moore was just a four game series Sergey Babrovsky he saved 19 again one nine goals above expected 19 goals above expected that is 19 goals above expected. That is crazy. And he's the hot goalie. And I would like to say it's unsustainable,

but we can throw out all the data with this surrogate Bropovsky. Let's just assume he continues being the hottest goalie on the planet. He still can't maintain this output. That's nuts. So what are they gonna do to limit the shots of the Vegas Golden Knights?

And what are they gonna do offensively to get some some of these goals because this defense of Vegas is formidable? Well, yeah, it's a similar match up to what they had in Carolina basically. So what I think is they're going at the four shots from the outside. You can't have them take shots in the middle of the ice in the middle of the slight and the dangerous areas. You prevent that from happening, you're going to end up winning the series. You're going to get a lot of Roy on God Bless Hockey. Stugots is farming out all his work and he needed some expertise and some real credentialed media member. Roy is on God Bless Hockey giving you analysis that

you need. And the hockey team has gotten so popular that even Charles Barkley, who loves hockey, he knows how tough those guys are. He knows how fun that sport is his time is betting on it uh he also loves betting on it uh he loves how hot uh bebrop skis and i'ma just tell you something sir jay bob opkup this is goalie for the pampers sounds like a Russian dessert should be his name and i'ma just tell you something sir jay bob opkup this the goalie for the Panthers. Like a pastry. It's so delicious. I will have three Obamacus.

And I'ma just tell you something. Surjave Obamacus is the goalie for the Panthers. What is the set up there of like, I got something to say here. What did he end up saying? And I'ma just tell you something. Surjave Obamacus this is goalie for the Panthers He also got the first name wrong

That's sir Jay that's why we just go Bob sir. Yeah, he made him a night. He was night Jay I'll something sir. J. Bob cook this is goalie for the Panthers. He's not a night. He's a panther. Jason's Bob Sir. J. Bob is not the goalie for the Panthers. He's not a knight. He's a Panther. Jason Bavocca. Sir J. Bavocca is not the goalie for the Florida Panthers. Sir J. Bavocca. Sir J. Bavocca. Sir J. Bavocca. Hey Canada. The Bavocca. Canada. Charles Barkley and America are talking about your sport. It's Vegas and Florida Suck it

Okay, so Roy you are a credential media member as we mentioned all the time and I'd like to know too much one would say Hey many are saying he's all game seven, but here's the thing though I don't know what to do with what I'm about to tell you Roy is a very deliberate content giver and when it comes to hockey he is very serious about hockey this show historically has not been Roy wants to go to Vegas everybody on the show wants you to get it i you don't think we talk about the world's greatest for with premium expertise you can find anywhere else do you i agree that we can find some of that under our circus tent you think that every time we talk about hockey we have to resort to cheap kivics do you do

do you uh... it's just roi that i'm concerned about because roi wants to resort to cheap gimmicks. Do you do you do you? I it's just Roy that I'm concerned about because Roy wants to go to Vegas and drink. Yeah, and Roy also from his Twitter feed I have seen very serious hockey analysis and I don't know what good it's gonna do to have a game Saturday night and have Roy there Drinking on the company tab and then emerge with this is a power play right here I use my blue sky exclusively to make my Roy. That's not more a cent off. I get you. That's not fair man. He's got something to it though because I did the Roy strategy for a heat game and it crushed. The tweets crush. It's my no. I I Roy Roy likes this game in a way that's unusual and he likes it more than the rest of you do

He likes the science of it and he likes the chess of it more than the rest of you do But it doesn't tweet about impossible then that's not true Oh Fray I don't understand how you're French now I don't understand how you're French now I was just As long as you don't have a Quebec accent I am Do we know what is happening because we're gonna send course We're gonna be proving down the Narnar heading over to the Mandalay Bay wave pool

And we're gonna take all two from Vegas, baby hell yeah I want to know what our content strategy is because I saw an email I saw an email chain that had Roy not only Roy going on behalf of our show and this one really confused me Tony Tobages Tobages Tony to cover hockey and I'm like why why would Tony just now turned on his television six games ago and lesson that like three games ago why why nothing wrong when when Charles Barkley said this sir. J. Bob. I was like I know that guy. He was like That's what Bob is short for. Sir, Jay, but Bob, I don't know what our plan is,

but we are going to flood the next few weeks as if we haven't already. We forgot something. We're going to flood the audience for all of its complaints, well-crondicle then I really think that we should stop doing that. They should be really thankful for the Miami Heat because it would have been all Panthers talk.

It would have been all, we would have gone through the checking line by now. We would have had Colin White co-host with us. It would have been. Luster Ainin seemed to be out for the first couple of games. He is? I saw lines that were practicing. We got Lombard up on the third line.

Loms is on the third line? Lundell, Loms, and Reinhardt. I'm not mad at it. Reinhardt, that's what it would have been for weeks and weeks. God, that's what it would have been. We would have been breaking down the backup goalies. You have the Lion King versus the legend Jonathan Quick. You want to talk about a goalie that knows what it takes to lift the cup as an eight seed, not on this team just yet. It might be Babovka at the end of the day, but Jonathan Quick has been there done that. about a goalie that knows what it takes to lift the cup as an eight seed, not on this team just yet. It might be Babovka at the end of the day, but don't think we've been there, done that.

Delicious pastry. We will figure out who it is from the show, ends up where we will continue to send metal arc employees to both Colorado and Vegas and hope to come back with a single victory. You know the Vegas Golden Knights? They're not called the Las Vegas Golden Knights. It's just Vegas Golden Knights.

Yeah. Why is that? Oh no. Okay, that's the kind of coverage you will get. We'll get to the bottom of the game. Well, let's get to the bottom of the game. Yeah, I want the Vegas to find that out. Here's a little segment I like to call things about the Stanley Cup final we haven't

gotten around to. Yeah. Okay. Number one, thank you for your service. Because both of these franchises have proud military backgrounds, the owner of the Golden Knights named them the Golden Knights because Black Point, my man Bryce, Vinny Viola, even Matt Caldwell, I think all Black Point, Black Point alums. Black Point like the Marina in Miami?

There's this marina Co-black point Marina that only in date always camps out at and everybody's pick up truck goes in there and people just put their Why is no one respecting the penalty box? The army black night's on the black night's Black night's

The army black night's right Yeah, what's the play it was we didn't want to do it wrong enough? I told them the black nights, but that was in proof so I called them the golden nights But anyway get out of here. I'm trying to think the truth Okay, leave here and by the way you could leave with him Jeremy delayed penalty that you Should I mention that you see if used to be the golden night out of now there the night? There's no Miners There's something that I wanted to talk about with

Cadence Tony because Tony I overheard Tony talking about something and it made me it filled me with a bit of shame because I was the thing Tony was talking about the other day in an airport. I'm not myself lately. There's all sorts of shit that's making me crazy and now throw in this sport stuff and I became guy at the airport who's loudly talking into his phone. Oh, God. Wow. Dan, you know, my proud

Metro Rail rider to the studio here and it's about 742 in the morning and there is a person who is Cady Corned me sitting on one of the benches who is talking at a decibel level that the entire train could hear about somebody else and I'm just sitting there and I've looked across the aisle and there's about 11 people staring at her waiting for her to like not do what she's doing. And I just looked at myself and I said, I have ever been, I was like, have I ever been that person where I'm screaming at the top of my lungs on the phone on a train? I can't be.

I have an important follow up here was this was she on speaker phone. She was on speaker phone for half of the, of the that's the worst see I'm I'm half of the trip on a train Especially that train. There's not a lot of places She can go to make a phone call if you have to have a phone call Fine, but when people are on speaker. That's the ultimate halfway through she put on her head her air pods and started talking loudly on her air pods I think do you have air pods Dan? No, okay, so you were just talking, were you on speakerphone? I was not on speakerphone, but I was, I was ashamed of myself and I don't know

how much more ashamed I would have been if someone had said something to me, but I wish someone had said something to me. This is out of character for you. I don't imagine you being loud conversation guy. But it's loud of you. Your phone call you have is like, well, I was insane with fury.

It was the problem. I was filled with everything. I bet a great code you did something. Again, again, I'm not with fury. It was the problem filled with great code You did something again again. I'm not myself haven't been for two years and and so things are happening You're doing great man By yourself be happy about you married You got your own company Infrastructure all that's right there. Yeah, yeah, going by the way Couldn't find

yesterday I gotta go I couldn't find you yesterday and I'm texting where the hell are you and you wanted to talk about successions so bad and Chris Cody just disappeared I wanted to talk with Adnan about succession I wanted to talk with

I wanted to talk for two weeks with anybody on the show about succession. Jessica was the only one watching it. I'm getting to it. Cinefile, check it out. Adnan, full breakdown without Dan, because he's got a lot going on. The whole point was to be with Dan. Dan wanted to spread this issue. One day with the shit show, the power went down. I was looking for you to do the segment. Can we find Adnan right now so I can do the segment with them?

Can you call him so that we could just put it somewhere because I've been wanting to die? I've been dying to talk. She's not even wanting to die. What? How about that tube dream, Danny? Still have those team? Where are you yesterday? Don Lebertard dog rivers? You know, Joel. It's gonna say he's gonna tweet what he wants to tweet. I'm quite frankly, I'm fine with it. If anything, I want to go to Miami too. Is that all right?

I mean, isn't supposed to be in the front office by now. Hey, I could hit the back nine right after practice. Oh, he'd love that. Oh, my God. Two guts. That's me and Joel. I mean, I mean, two guts. That's a great question.

It's a great question. If they win game six, that hurts my chances of coming down here. I mean, that goes with Joel. It's a real handsome question, it's too good. This is the Don Lebatar show with this too good. I'm looking right now. This is really funny. I'm looking at the lineups for the last time,

I'm the Miami Heat one in Denver. This is a toll. This is from a different time. Denver has notoriously been a terrible, terrible place for Miami Heat basketball teams to go. So this is, there's some funny names on here. November 30th, 2016. Oh my God.

This is the last time Miami Heat Decker in Denver. I think I can name, I think I can think of one player on that team. It's gonna have to happen once. It has to happen once or the people lose the series. Yes. It'll have to happen once. That's what Dan was saying. It'll have to happen once at least. So at point card for the Denver Nuggets, I were on the court the last time Miami beat them in Denver,

Jamir Nelson. Oh We got nine more names I can't wait to hear all of them each funnier than the last at two guard E-manual moody a He was nice for a little bit. Well, you're real hoopers all the real hoopers know E-manual moody a and much like all the real hoopers guys inefficient and bad put it on the pole, please, Juju. Do real Hoopers know that Moodie was what for a little bit, Tony? Nice. Nice for a little bit.

There is no bigger red flag when it comes to evaluating a basketball talent for me now, then real Hoopers know. Just throwing it out there. You see, if real Hoopers know, I'm out. Real Hoopers. Because you're not a real Hooper. Real Hoopers know. Real Hoopers respect 41opers. Because you're not a real hooper. Real hoopers. Real hoopers respect 41% shooting,

but can always get a shot off. Yeah, and always got a bucket down. Oh, I love getting a shot off that the defense loves. Oh, real hoopers. No. Real hoopers. No hoopers.

Nerds like you. Can make it to the fish in. Oh, let me do this. Oh, because this is really cool. Let's spreadsheet. Loser. Real hoopers know how to take contested jumpers that's all real hoopers and make them what at 40% clip at three guard well that's well that's not three guard

real hoopers give me a break guys I talk a lot face good at small forward Danilo Galanare Celtic legend they could have used them. Yeah, really they really could if if if he was on that team Celtics one He is on that team, but if he were like active on that team At center Well, no, we got a four guard. I'm sorry. You know what happened? Is it without a text? Making a five guard line up. Yep. At four guard.

The display has never been confused for a guard. Kenneth Fareed. Manimal. Manimal. That's the guy. Yeah. Manimal. Manimal, Dan.

And at five guard. Yosef Nerkich. Man, remember when they were trying to decide between Nerkhitch and Yo, Kitch. Oh, Mike was talking before the show about just the way that Yo, Kitch fooled Nurghitch in a game by just pointing and saying, Hey, it's three seconds and Nurghitch looked away and then Yo, Kitch just put a layup on him because Jerkich just did as he was told stop playing defense and got out of the key. You called them jerky at Twitch is probably made a jerk.

Yeah, we may have to dump that and tell you what, if we take this game one now, a lot of jerky. Oh, now for the Miami Heat. There's no hub though. That was a very horse Roy. And he hasn't gotten to Vegas yet. And he hasn't gotten Game One or Game Two. Harry started drinking credentialed, right?

For the Miami Heat. This is. I actually thought this team could beat LeBron's cabs. Yep. At one, Goren Droggich. This is where it gets really funny. The two guard, Rodney McGruder. Rodney!

Rodney. Active hands. Active hands McGruder. Rodney! Rodney! Active hands. Active hands McGruder. At small forward, inexplicably starting because Spowe was weird about his rotations. Luke Babitt. Oh, the Luke Babitt run. Yes, how would you explain to the nation? Babitt running out of the court and just jacking up 30 footers in the first.

He would play seven minutes a game. Always the first seven minutes never to be seen again. Just like Myers-Letter. But with a bowl of hair. Yeah, yeah, bowl. A bowl of hair. Like a salad bowl of hair had been dumped on his head. Yeah, just they had good numbers when he started in the lineup, but he didn't

nothing else for this. Do you realize how much in this series you're going to need salt and pepper, Luke Babet, which is Kevin. I'm going to need them at the four. Man, I hate this guy. I'm just going to say Josh McRob does. Oh, this guy holy cow. This is what LeBron didn't come back to Miami for because

Riley was sending him texts. Hey, we got McRoberts and LeBron wouldn't answer the text because he was already somewhere else. We call them McBob, right? That was a nickname. God. Five years, 25 million. I remember the contract because it was McRobbed us. And to tell you how far we've come along in hockey, this was actually a more desirable Bob contract in South Florida sports history than the one that the Florida had between the pipes But they turned it around no yeah and at the five They're not doing it with blocks. This was a triple double with blocks. Hassan white side was the five

So still a center getting triple doubles just a little bit different a little bit different Nobody's doing it with blocks like he told you. That was the last time Miami won at Denver, which was 2016. That's the 30 and 11 team, right? That team that you just said, that starting lineup for the Miami Heat, one, 30 games in the second half. Yeah. Yeah, it's that team.

Deon Waders was coming off the bench for that team. Yeah, but he had It's that deep. Deon Waders was coming off the bench for that team. Yeah, he had winners. He had winners later in that season against Golden State and Cleaver. I remember walking through the bowels of the arena and because they've got so many photographs on the walls there of stuff, Riley walking past Deon Waders and Hassan White sides pictures and like not actually spitting, although we wanted to actually spit, just spitting our alleged leaders. That is disassociating yourself from fault, Godfather. You listened to me on extending White Side, how dare you?

You shouldn't. I'm a maniac. That was a crazy time in our history where these two gonna look over nothing. As a show, we just could not, you have to give him the max. Thank you Hassan Weisside who forgets that he's left a bunch of guns in his car. Thank you Hassan for taking a few million less

because Hassan Weisside was going to lure Kevin Durant, remember, he was gonna lure Kevin Durant by giving a couple of million dollars away. Remember how excited we all got when we found out Kevin Durant followed Nikki Spolts. Sure. We're like, what God, he's coming. If you think my heat takes a bit crazy over this run, I'm pretty sure during that run at one point, I went on my college TV station and said, Dion Waiters was the best player in heat history with the initials DW. Yeah, you're unreasonable in your homerism and emotion, and I didn't think we could do worse

than Mike and Parakeet Cortez on this, but I don't know which of you three has been the more annoying heat home. They murdered this. Like this is because of listening to Mike Ryan and Parakeet Cortez, and it's all because of them. So you can give them the credit, I guess. Any time you see guts out there, it's your boy.

Son White's side's playing in Puerto Rico. He's playing for a little pita da. It's must be having so much fun. I can't even imagine how much fun a son White's side is having. $1,000,000. $1,000,000,000. Oh my god.

That must be amazing. Leaving East Managed That Well. Well, I told you guys, right, that I get the weirdest call. I'm one of the weirdest calls I've ever gotten in my life is from Chale Saunit, just my phone rings one day, and there's Chale Saunit, and he's like, hey, can you, uh, it's a good story though. The bad guy. I need the people involved to tell the story.

The bad guy. Story doesn't work if I don't have Chale Saunit making the ridiculous call. I up the phone and he's like can you tell us on white side did I think that his house is being robbed It's down the street over here and he's had kids living in it for a while that I don't think have it I think they're just coming over and playing the video games that he has there and they're taking his things Can you tell us on white side because he was off doing whatever he was doing on a... Did you tell him then? Yeah, did you tell him? I got the note to him.

I got the information to Hassan White's side. That's a shitty story. Chail Saunin calling you to tell you that exactly what you imagined is in. Was this house being burgl'd? It was, well, Chail Saunin was afraid that it was being burgl'd. I left the story alone after that.

I let it go. I don't know. It feels wrong. Interesting. Right. Yeah. Which part feels wrong? You know, I don't think burglars just play video games.

Maybe they've been sort of house guest. But if you know the house is empty, can't you play video games? Because he's got to be on a road trip. He's got to be like a song white side. He's going to be gone for 10 days at a time. So you guys think he's managed his money well. You remember his coin pond Branding night on same team also look be out there to guard. Oh wow I'm happy to know that Brandon night so with us. Oh Deandre Jordan is in the series

What's he gonna be doing sitting down? Yeah, not doing anything. I saw him. I saw him him shoot around and he was taking threes. What is the Andre Jordan after take threes? Did you guys see because this made me laugh. Richard Jefferson introduced yesterday, Tristan Thompson, to bring in some expertise on how to guard Yokeh and the way that Richard Jefferson introduced him was that we can learn from our failures and here's someone who has failed.

And Tristan Thompson just looks at him and goes, wow, and Richard Jefferson doubled down and he's like, if you had succeeded, you wouldn't be here. And that was the introduction that Tristan Thompson got on television after being somebody who people have laughed at that he that he was with the Lakers for four minutes because LeBron needed someone from retirement to guard Yokecch. Yeah, the funniest part of the Tristan Thompson experience in Los Angeles was when the Lakers got swept by these Denver Nuggets.

LeBron just walked off the court. Briskly, not like someone that had a torn tendon in their foot, by the way, I should mention. Tristan's best advice was just get up in them. It's a good thing that you're right. You gotta make them feel you. It's the right thing to say on a big like that. It's what else is Tristan Thompson going to do? Lateral movement.

But they like the post game, as LeBron again's walking perfectly fine on a torn tendon. Chails guy though, they they they do the post game interview with Tristan Thompson and they only ask him LeBron questions like how pathetic like what do you think is going through LeBron's mind right now? Where is LeBron psychic yet? Do you think LeBron plays again and like Tristan Thompson had to be like what is my life become? again the introduction to his post basketball life is you failed recently you're a failure let's get your expertise on what it's like to fail how do you stop yoke

it you gotta get on up in it Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What?
