Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdode.

On this Stanley Cup Tuesday, June 9, 2006, this sports program begins right now.

Sports!

We are the greatest, and we had the incredible opportunity as I glow here in a brand new shirt I got off Amazon just a couple days ago.

I'm going to have to change this one ASAP.

Sorry for the glow across your screen, whether it's on a TV or on your phone or on an iPad or however you watch us.

We just want to say thank you because last night we had the chance to experience something that was just absolutely incredible.

I mean, having a chance to sit in there, not only call an NBA Finals game in which I've never done before, so thank you to ESPN, Mike Foss, new executive Burke and Jimmy, and all the parties that had to, because Josh tomorrow, I think, even had to come, Adam Silver had to come in on this decision. A lot of people that we've done business with and have become good friends with have provided now an opportunity for us to do multiple things.

The prime time opportunity where we have said in the past, or in conversations with these fine folks that we've done business with, like, hey, if you ever have one of these opportunities, I know you offer it to these people.

There's other production companies that get offered opportunities to build things and do things.

There's people within ESPN, senior leadership, that get the opportunity to do things whenever there's programming that opens up or whatever.

We just wanted the opportunity to be able to do the same. So them giving us that opportunity

as a completely outside entity that has obviously built a great relationship with them over the last few years.

He's incredibly cool and we're very thankful for it. We understand that nobody gets these types of opportunities these days and every time we do it we want to enjoy the hell out of it make the most out of it and be an asset to sports we genuinely feel that way that is how we feel about everything so getting a chance to do what we did last night as tracy morgan right there just said that the statue of liberty was going to get pregnant tonight if the the New York Knicks were able to get a win over the Spurs, which they did not. Shout out the Wembe going crazy. But getting a chance to be a part of that is so stupid, it is so dumb, and we're so thankful for it. And it's only because people watch our shit. So thank you for all of that. And we'll continue to be grateful and we'll continue to try to enjoy it all.

Airspace shut down, long time.

Long time. Long time around there.

Yeah. How come?

So it was a late night, obviously, early morning as well, but we are pumped and thankful to be chatting about it all.

Great game at Madison Square Garden. A bunch of swings and runs and a couple stars coming out of nowhere and a man named Victor Wembeena saying, excuse me, I feel like you have forgotten about who you were talking about. Yeah, I might have been drawn some shit down there at Central Park and I might have been shooting at Rucker Park and you might see me walking with the monks and I might be new here and I might be French which some people will hold against me however they'll hold against me but I am one of the ones okay and who are one of the ones oh they're the ones that are at the top of the food chain whenever it comes to sports their competitive spirit seemingly more than everybody else. Their dog mentality

in the biggest moments, especially when their backs are against the wall, show up. That is why we have the people at the top of the sports world that we all know. In our head, we all just thought of the exact people that are atop of the sports world in the history. Wembe is trying to prove that he deserves to be there. And what we're seeing early is this guy answers things. Now, he might have to learn some shit here he is making a name for himself that is along among other names that will be etched

in stone in basketball forever already as a 22 year old or whatever the case is but this spurs

team in whole dogs across the board including their coach and I think this entire series runs
