kelly midland welcome back buddy good to have you man hey man thank you i want to thank

dustin swedelson yep and matt brown awesome jobs as always two of our favorite humans ever

yes 100 percent we had a lot of fun yes i'm so glad you did. I'm glad that Dustin was able to hang out in the mornings with you.

So thank you to both of them for doing a bang up a job, as they say. We'll have them again.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And I mean, it's great to have you back for so many reasons. But I don't like, I don't know if the crew's feeling this too. But like there's actual like space here. Like there's there was a lot of encroaching going on by Dustin takes up a lot of room, man. A lot of room. Did you blow the whistle for the flag? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was literally over this line. And like it's like sitting on my lap, man. Defense. On this show today, man, can I, can I borrow a phrase from our buddy Will Hill? Who says he goes, imagine not loving sports. Imagine. Dude. Imagine. Both the Stanley Cup playoffs, game seven between the Canadian's of the Sabres last night. And of course, game one, we've been waiting for it all NBA season,

the collision course, that is, the Spurs and the Thunder in the Western Conference final. And we finally got it started. And I'll just tell you the text that Paul Carr sent me this morning. He was like, hey, that was my first basketball game that I watched this year. Are they all like this? I'm like, yes, every single one of them. Hey, Paul, stop repeating text messages, okay?

He texted me the same thing last night.

Oh, you see.

Hey, you can only do that once, yeah. Same, same material. Drew Dinsick on the NBA and tennis on the show, Mark Bortchard on baseball, Jake Hahn on the NHL. We'll go country club and we'll talk by her and Nelson. Anybody have Aaron Rye? Anybody? No. Nobody. As I told

you, I'm going to repeat my joke now. Aaron Rye's mother didn't have Aaron Rye in that tournament. She might have had him. Maybe for a few bucks. She might have had him. Yeah. My mom would have had me if I won the PJs. I told you, Gilly would have wanted. My dad would have faded me. Absolutely. He would have bet every matchup against me.

And Paul Carr, we'll talk Premier League with Absolutely. He would have bet every matchup against me.

And Paul Carr, we'll talk Premier League with Paul.

He's got a couple prim picks for us as well.

And Kelly and I, we do not communicate much, if any, before any show.

And then sometimes we randomly come to a show.

This is me coming back for vacation. Much less you being on vacation, man. We haven't spoken. And right before the show, I say to him, I go, hey, do you think we should talk about O's's appearance on our show here? Ose Perlman, the Mentalist, was on this show. How many years ago? Oh, God. Three, four, at least three. I don't know. It's the greatest get of any guests, not only in this show, but in network history, I would say. We have to talk about it because Pablo Torre has gone in on O's the Mentalist to debunk O's the Mentalist, courtesy of a guest of his on the show. So we have to, you and I, we were the only two people present when O's was on the show. We have to go through our memories of it. I can't, okay. We've got to figure out what happened. The best part about this is Gil and I just literally started listening to this on our ways up here today. I almost didn't make it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We did not speak about this beforehand at all.
