And everybody's like, oh, that's bulletin board material for the Hurricanes. I go... What do you think he's going to say? Hey, there's no chance we're going to make it back here, so I might as well pack up my bags. Come on. Now, do I think they're headed back there? I do. I think it's going seven games. I said that.

Chapter 4: What insights does Ernie Johnson share about the NBA Finals?
Who you got in that fight? I don't know where Ernie is. He is scrappy. He is scrappy. And Kelsey is coming off an injury season, injured season. What else do we have, Dill? We got one more from Todd. Actually, we have two more from Todd. We could do a Stanley Cup final prediction reset. Hurricanes in six, Hurricanes in seven, or Golden Knights in seven.
I've got to take seven with my Golden Knights. I know. So I'm not surprised. I won't be surprised if it goes back to Carolina. By the way, Carter Hart became the first goalie in NHL history to allow four or more goals in five consecutive Stanley Cup finals games. You don't want to be on that list.
His save percentage in the Stanley Cup final is the second lowest of any goalie to play in at least five Stanley Cup final games.
This is the style of the day.
I got NBA Finals MVP odds. It's Jalen Brunson, which is incorrect in my opinion. It should be O.G. Ananobi, who has played consistently great the entire series. But, you know, Brunson's a big name there, and maybe he's saving his best for last. So it's Jalen Brunson minus 110, O.G. Ananobi plus 210. Then it's Victor Wembenyama at plus 390. You know, I have the odds for next year's NBA title.
Two teams have the best odds to win the title. It's the Spurs and the Thunder at plus 250. Then the Celtics, plus 600. Then it's the Knicks, followed way, way, way, way down the list by the Pacers there. Now, we haven't had any moves in the offseason yet, which is interesting. I still feel like the Celtics are going to do something. I don't know what happens with Giannis.
Do the Thunder get involved in any of this? And the Spurs, you know, if they're losing this NBA Finals, regrouping, do they do anything in the offseason? Darren Fox is now moving into his four-year, $200 million contract next year. Yes, boy. Four-year, $220 million country.

Chapter 5: How does bulletin board material affect the Stanley Cup Finals?
Oh, 220. My bad. My bad. Good luck getting out of that one. All right, some phone calls here. 877-3DP-SHOW, World Cup tonight. Team USA takes on Paraguay. Not Uruguay. What's the difference between Paraguay and Uruguay? We do our best to sound stupid today. Dylan? I think for starters, they're two different countries. Thank you. Thank you. But they are neighbors. Okay. Are they touching?
They are touching in South America. Okay. Uruguay and Paraguay. Always touching. Okay. Yes, Paul?
I think Paraguay is landlocked. Okay. Because I saw a list of landlocked countries and they were on it.
Is it Paraguay or Paraguay? Checking. Okay. Paraguay. Paraguay. Mexico and South Korea. South Korea is a dark horse, I think, to surprise us. Yes, Paul? I also don't know if it's Uruguay or Uruguay, but I'm reading that's more progressive, coastal, and more urbanized with a European influence. And it's not the Netherlands. It's Netherlands. Just like it's not the Ukraine, it's Ukraine.
I thought it was the Netherlands. It is the? But I'm checking. Like Ohio State? The Netherlands. Speaking of which, Kirk Herbstreet in the final hour of the program. But Ernie Johnson will join us on loan from the mothership. Yes, Paul? I have mixed reports on the Netherlands or Netherlands. They say you could use either. Okay. Let's get it together and pick one at this time.
But Uruguay and Paraguay or Uruguay and then Ukraine is thus called Ukraine, not the Ukraine. The Netherlands is like the Ohio State. That's what they're trying to go for, I think. Okay. In capital letters, the Netherlands? Checking. All right. Thank you. All right, so we've got a poll question. We'll have a play of the day, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming. Hockey coming up.
When is that? Is that Sunday night for the next game in Vegas, Todd?
Yep, Sunday, then Wednesday would be the last two games.
And Todd has become our resident hockey expert for some reason. I don't know how that happened. I just like to say Mitch Marner and Bussy and things like that. I just like the names. Yes, Dylan. Yeah, it is surprising, though, one note about that. It's like the Hurricanes made the switch to Bussey in goal, and it's been working out well for them.

Chapter 6: What predictions are made for the NBA Finals?
I just waited for the thread on my texts with the kids to just take on a life of their own. So it was really, that's a cool moment. I was glad I could do that for them. And then the Wu-Tang Clan, you got a picture with them as well. Well, and see, last year they asked me to do the voiceover announcing their tour, which surprised me, Dan, as it probably surprised you as well.
But I said, sure, I'd be honored to do that. So I did, and then here I see, oh, they're going to be on at half, and I go out there and we're all just, and it's like I was part of the clan. You know all the lyrics, don't you?
Dull-a-dull-a-bill, y'all.
He is Ernie Johnson. He'll be with Charles and Shaq and Kenny. No Draymond Green coming up on Saturday. It feels like every other week, maybe every month, I say, I've never seen that before. Or when you think you've seen everything, and we had that on Wednesday night, how do you compartmentalize that to go, what just happened? I mean, I didn't really know what had just happened.
That's why I kind of asked the guys, what did we just see here? But it was surreal. And, you know, to see a professional crowd like that where nobody wants to move, they just want to sit there and celebrate and just dance. And that's like the aftermath. But to watch... The whole thing unravel in front of your eyes is kind of amazing to see New York come back like that.
But okay, so we saw them do that against Cleveland in game one, 22 down with seven and a half minutes left. And I was thinking as we were watching this fourth quarter, this is a lot more manageable than that Cleveland game was at this point, even though the number was huge, the 29.
every time they started re-own a mini got it under 20 it's under 15 oh it's 10 and this is a game and there's plenty of time left um so it was an amazing thing to watch and i um and and then you know this when you if you're doing a show from a set Like there's one at Madison Square Garden where we do halftime that's five miles high.
But when you're sitting on stools at center court of the garden when this has just happened, I mean, you're just trying to look around, make sure you see everything that's going on and enjoy all of that. It was surreal. And I was thinking, so as I add to the world's longest answer, I was thinking of moments that were similar for me in just these 37 years I've been around Turner.
and and i'm thinking i was at the british open i was calling jack spinal round at the british open um as he's not going to make the cut and you watch from your tower as the streets suddenly

Chapter 7: What are the current stats and trends in the Stanley Cup Finals?
In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. Weedie Unhoused is a two-time Webby and Signal Award-winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon.
Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Jill Wichorick, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community. Listen to Weezy and Howes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Keith Giamonka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad. But secretly, he became someone else. A master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No.
I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets.
But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?
That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover, The Family Man on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, my God.
The play of the day.
Put it left side. Got it. I'm going to play it and play it.
This is the play of the day. Check this out. Into the Vegas zone. Drops here for Ajo. Back to Goss to spare. He's going to set it up. They score. Tick, tick, toe. Andres Mishnikov's second power play goal. And it puts Carolina up 4-1 in game five. Courtesy of the Hurricanes Radio Network. How about this? The Hurricanes have 11 third-period goals in this series.

Chapter 8: How does the podcast address the U.S. vs. Paraguay match?
Stat of the day. Brought to you by Panini America. Also factor this in of Wemby now, SGA, Joker, Luca. They're going to inspire a whole new wave of players. So this is just the beginning. I mean, this is what David Stern wanted, globalization. And he got that with the Dream Team. If you don't decide to put the Dream Team together, I wonder if it stunts the growth.
We maybe get there eventually, but I think that was where everybody was watching. They wanted their country to get roughed up by the Dream Team. Danny in California. Hi, Danny.
Hey, Dan. Hey, fellas. 5'9", 187.
Uh... Thanks. Just the other day, I purchased a new luxury car and it has this really cool...
option on it it's got a heads-up display and it tells you everything it's really cool well the other night we were watching a baseball game and the batter challenged the call by the umpire and my wife looked at me said what is this i said well they can challenge and there's a box and it shows us the ball or strike and she said that's amazing how fast it happened it didn't by pat i mean it didn't take long to get the decision everything is very accurate and she looked at me she says why don't they just put a heads-up display in the umpire's face mask
I like the way it is now, Danny. I like that the audience can be involved in it. It's kind of a hybrid there. I think we're going to get to ABS all the time. At some point, you don't just stop. It always seems like we go further and further. I think it is entertaining for the audience as well.
You know, let's just get away from embarrassing the umpire because the umpires feel embarrassed sometimes when you have a guy go, I'm going to tap my helmet three times with three different pitches. That umpire is not happy because especially when he's wrong three times. I like ABS. I think it's people got caught up in robot umpires, robo umpires. That was wrong. That was inaccurate.
That phrase, I think, hurt the perception of what it was going to be. It's just like tennis, except for the French Open. Tennis does this. It's just accepted. And, you know, as we talked to John McEnroe yesterday, I mean, he can't yell at the umpire. He's got to yell at somebody who's running a computer there. But I do think that we're headed towards that.
The number of times that you see balls and strikes called incorrectly... I think it just calls in decades and decades and decades of games where you go, how many calls did they get wrong? Or how many calls did they get right? For the most part, if you're 96%, 97% of the time correct, I'll take that. But I think with ABS, it's going to be 100%. Big day yesterday for Marvin.
