| 0:25.7 | Thanks for being in here. |
| 0:26.9 | Let's take a look at the recap screen. |
| 0:28.8 | I know I took an L with that first half play, Ravens' first half minus two and a half. |
| 0:32.5 | Our sports line pick, Ravens minus four and a half doesn't hit. |
| 0:35.2 | But Mike McClure comes through Ravens first half team total. Matt the sniper-snider, he comes through Braves run line overall, two and four. Let's do better today. Let's bring in the stars of the show. We've got such a good crew today. We got buckets. We got Taft Gant. We got Tom Casale. And we got Calvin Wetzel. Calvin, I got to start with you. I feel like you're bringing a new shirt to the party. And talk to me about WNBA playoffs. They are underway, correct? Yeah, we are in the semifinals right now. Game two's are tonight. Mercury down, 01, need to bounce back., fever, upset the aces in game one. So |
| 1:12.7 | Aces need to bounce back as well. Both series getting really exciting. Bucats, how we doing |
| 1:18.2 | today, sir? I'm doing all right, Sia. I got a bit of a weird question for you, though, if you |
| 1:22.7 | will entertain me real quick. If you were going to steal someone's credit card and credit card information, |

| 1:45.2 | Why do you ask? I got a call for my bank this morning saying bucket. Well, they don't call my buckets. They said, hey, John, it's your bank. We wanted to check on this kind of questionable purchase. I said, yeah, what's up? And they said, did you spend? And this is not exaggerating. $484.13 |
| 1:59.7 | door-dashing Dunkin' Donuts this morning. |
| 2:03.3 | If you're going to steal |
| 2:04.5 | someone's info, I just don't understand why Dunkin' Donuts is like your go-to. Do something, |
| 2:09.1 | I want to say better with it, but maybe I'm just not aware of how good Duncan is. I don't know. |
| 2:13.9 | That's a lot of donuts. It's a lot of donuts and a lot of coffee. That's interesting. |
