00:00I'm just so, like, actually happy that you both agree without hesitation of how bad these games were.
00:10Like, I'm not going to sit on this network and suck up to these leagues and their crappy games.
00:16Like, I'm just not going to do it.
00:18Or these umps, or these refs, or players, you know, that are phonies like this butler with what he did to Riley and his Heat teammates.
00:28Like, I'm never changing who I am or my opinions.
00:32The fact that you and I came on this show at the top of the hour on a Monday, and all we did was bash these games on both leagues, NBA and NHL.
00:41They were terrible games.
00:43Terrible games.
00:44And I'm sitting here watching these games.
00:46And Gabe brought up the best point.
00:48One after the next, they air them.
00:50They're never on at the same time like they used to be.
00:52You remember on opening night of the Stanley Cup playoffs, there'd always be, like, eight games going.
00:58And instead now it's one at a time, and you have to suffer through bad games.
01:03And the fact that you said it, I said it, and he said it, that we all agreed that they were terrible games.
01:11And then you got these phony people on TV talking about how exciting it is and how great it is.
01:17And these matchups.
01:18It was a lobotomy.
01:20Those games were so bad.
01:22There was only one good game, the Clipper game.
01:24That was it.
01:24None of those games were good.
01:26None of them.
01:26None of the games were good.
01:29And the good thing is, is I think it hurt the NHL starting on a weekend.
01:35I mean, it sounds good in theory.
01:37But I think what we love about it in the first round is the aspect of there's a bunch of games on every night.
01:44And you could, you know, if you do catch a bad one, you could flip to another game.
01:48So maybe starting tonight, where you have two early games and two late games, we could start to get into that flow with the hockey a little bit more of multiple games being on at night.
02:01You know, I've screamed about the NBA as a product.
02:05Like Gabe says, as a product, it's hard to watch.
02:09I mean, even in the playoffs, you know, three out of every four games are maybe even a bigger segment are unwatchable.
02:16Their fourth quarters just don't mean anything.
02:18They're blowouts.
02:19And I'm going to be honest with you, these announcers trying to sell it like it's awesome, when I'm watching the game, don't get me started.
02:27Like, you know what I'm capable of on that X?
02:30I'll just start coming out with the foul language on my private one.
02:33And I'll, but I didn't do any of that really this weekend, but I, but I could have, and I should have, and I just start like, but I did the, I did the arms in that Yankee game.
02:46It was the worst thing I'd ever seen, but like, it's simple when I'm listening and watching, and I'm listening to these play-by-play guys acting like I'm watching the greatest game ever in the history of the league.
02:58I mean, what bullshack are they feeding us?
03:03Like, acting like these games are good and selling it like they're good.
03:07And I get it.
03:08They have to keep the audience.
03:09Everyone always tells me that on X.
03:11All you geniuses.
03:12Well, they have to keep the audience, don't they?
03:14There is no audience when the game sucks.
03:18I get out of there like the thing was on fire.
03:21I told you I was watching Dope Thief, episode six, seven, eight.
03:26I was like, I can't even take it.
03:28Look, I like watching golf on Sunday when there's money on the table.
03:33Fair enough.
03:34But I'm not sitting there Saturday watching 18 holes of golf.
03:37It's not happening.
03:38I told you that.
03:39You got to be drunk or in a clubhouse in the 19th hole at a golf course playing golf.
03:43And when you're done golfing, you sit in there and drink with your boys and watch golf.
03:47That's when I watch it.
03:48I watch on Sunday, like in that playoff.
03:50That was awesome.
03:51I watch Rory at the Masters, but I'm not sitting there watching that on Friday and Saturday and everything.
03:56I'm trying to watch playoff games and they all suck.
03:58I'm trying to watch playoff games and they all suck.
