Chapter 1: What happened in the Knicks vs Pistons playoff series?
No, I'm excited for the next. I'm excited to. It's going to be good content to get Mr. Bing Bong back.
Yeah, we will be with Mr. Bing Bong game one at the Beck Gala in Arizona. Jerry O'Connell will be with us live streaming the game.
And New York fans are the loudest fans and never win anything. And it's just fun to shut them up.
Well, we should.
I'm excited to be New York.
They did win this series and we should give Jill. They went into the Pistons lose it. Well, the Pistons did choke in the end. But Jalen Brunson multiple times in the ref show. That's, you know, wins a win. Jalen Brunson, we got to give him credit.
He scored 40 points, one of the coldest crossover three in the eye on Azir Thompson, who was awesome all series playing defense, but Jalen Brunson is just that good. And that was such a cool moment.
He lost him by about seven, eight steps. It was crazy. He went off the camera. He went out of the frame of the camera on defense on that crossover. Yeah. And then Jalen Brunson just steps back and hits it. He had a 40-point game last year, right, in a game seven or a game six, some elimination game. Yeah, Jalen Brunson, he is good. The Brunson burner ignited. The Brunson burner.
Did you like that? That was Zion Eagle's call. I like that a lot.

Chapter 2: Why did the Lakers exit the playoffs early?
It can be the difference.
You need Carl Anthony Towns. Carl Anthony Towns would have to be incredible pretty much all series. Jalen Brunson is going to be incredible. Yeah, I'd say the Celtics are going to win this series.
You don't think the Jalen's going to be incredible?
I think we have an amazing perimeter defense. I think we're going to lock them up and make other players beat us. The Knicks don't have those players.
Who's got the better Jalen?
Celtics.
Okay. Jalen for Jalen? Jalen for Jalen, yeah.
Prediction. Five? Five. I'm going to say five.
I think it's a sweep. I think you guys got them.

Chapter 3: What are the key takeaways from the Warriors/Rockets and Clippers/Nuggets series?
Look at a bad back.
But he has whatever. He obviously did that on purpose because Embiid has hurt every series and he's never gotten the. Oh, well, he was hurt.
Yeah.
Well, he had a bad back. We have to forget. Well, no, I don't think he has early on. He got to the NBA finals last year.
I think Zach Lowe put it perfectly. He's like everything he does is he's laboring in everything he does.
Yeah, well, I think Reggie Miller, was he the one that was like he's laboring the entire time? He's struggling out there. I think Luke is hurt. I think he's hurt. He looks like he's playing 50% out there. He was playing 50%. He was playing on offense.
When I say early onset Embiid, Luke is a better player than Embiid has gone to an NBA finals, has won an actual conference finals. I'm saying just when you watch the game and play to play, you're like, is this guy going to survive? Yeah. You just have that vibe of like, is he okay? Yeah. Because he doesn't look like he's going to be okay.
He looked like every single person at Barstool Sports after about 10 minutes of playing pickup. Right. The way that he was turning around and running back down the court. He's got to get into championship shape. He's got to play his way into championship shape. Also, Anthony Edwards really, really rubbing it up, running up the score on Luka.
After the game's over, he still has the energy to do a Frank Walks around the arena.

Chapter 4: Which teams advanced in the NHL playoffs and what are the key storylines?
That's crazy.
Damn.
Did not know that. Yeah. I thought that this would at least go seven. I thought that the NBA would love to have. The Lakers quit. Yeah.
The Timberwolves are just a better team.
I don't even know. But they played so bad. That was a Lakers. The Timberwolves did not win that game as much as the Lakers just didn't. They gave up.
The Timberwolves defense.
And Luka was hurt. You can't really.
They had them in a fucking. And Luka was hurt. They had them in a torture chamber. Timberwolves defense is very, very good. And, I mean, you saw it. Like, LeBron couldn't get anything going. Rudy Gobert had them all seeing ghosts whenever they would go to the rim. Austin Reeves couldn't shoot for shit. Austin Reeves had a bad series. Yeah, he had a bad series.
So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I mean, if you're a Lakers fan, still, if you said at the beginning of the season, hey, you're going to lose in the first round in five games. But, oh, yeah, Luka's going to be on your team. You'd take that every single day.

Chapter 5: Why are the Colorado Rockies considered one of the worst teams currently?
I would very much like to see the Warriors advance. I think that they will. I think that they'll end up taking care of business against the Rockets.
I do too.
Mostly because I want to see Draymond and Rudy Gobert. I want to see those two lovebirds out there on the court.
I'm excited to get a bunch of tweets saying I was wrong, and then 30 seconds later saying, wait, memes corrected you. Those are my favorites.
Oh, I got a ton of those from Montreal fans.
Listen, I don't know if... Listen, the AWL is the best fans in the world. We fuck up so much stuff. That's all we do. That's the beauty of this show.
We just fuck things up left and right. Especially if we're recording past midnight. Which we are. If it's past midnight, so like every NFL Sunday show that we do. It's a mess of... I'd say we get more things wrong than right. But the things we get wrong, we're being sarcastic, and Max just doesn't realize it.
It was a bit. I was doing a bit with Pat Spencer.
What, Max? How many times do you think, let's say memes didn't pick up on the Pat Spencer thing there, that they would go to somebody else and use that take because of what you just said and act like an idiot? I feel bad for that sometimes.

Chapter 6: What are Randy Moss's insights and picks for the Kentucky Derby?
Yeah. You know what I'm going to do in this game? I'm just going to... I think it's just going to be Jokic versus Kawhi. I think both those guys are going to be incredible. Superstars. I really do. Because Jokic always gets his stats, and Kawhi's had a good series. But I think this is one of those games where we're going to look up and it's going to be... Jokic is going to have 34, 18, and 11.
And Kawhi is going to have 39 points on like 85% shooting.
I would love to see that.
That sounds like a fucking awesome game to watch. That's my prediction. It's a great series, though. It is a great series. I'm very excited for Game 7. What, Hank? I don't know who's going to win. Who do you think is going to win? I actually don't know either. I really have no idea. Because you could make the... Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
Because I was convinced that the Clippers were going to win game five before that game. And the Nuggets took it to them.
It is crazy. I would probably say Nuggets. Is this right? The Nuggets only shot nine free throws the entire game? Yeah. That's pretty crazy. Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of mid-range for Jamal Murray. Jokic was probably scared of the horse heads in the crowd. He definitely was. Maybe he got inside his head. Yeah, who's going to win this game? When is this game? This is Saturday night. This is going to be Kentucky Derby Day? Right after the Kentucky Derby. Is Jokic going to be fired up because he just watched the horses, or is he going to be completely spent?
I don't know. He might be spent.

Chapter 7: What did Joakim Noah discuss about playoff basketball and his post-retirement life?
Yeah. By the way, so we are going to talk more. This is our hockey recap, the Brandy Love talk. We are going to talk more with Whitney, and we have two great interviews coming up right now.
I do have keys to the series just real quick off the top of my head. Keys to the series, number one, Tom Wilson needs to hit somebody in the face. Okay. Number two, we have to rock the red. And then number three, Brandy Love needs to DM me.
Okay. I like that.
Keys to the series for the Caps.
I had one last thing before we get to our interviews. Randy Moss giving us Kentucky Derby picks. Joe Kim Noah in studio. And then, again, listen to Fyre Fest. It was very funny. Just real quick, this is something we've got to put on our radar. We're going to have to start monitoring because last year we talked about the Oakland A's and that fucking loser, the fail son from Gap.
What's his name again? John Fisher. John Fisher. Fuck him. We've talked at length about Jerry Reinsdorf and what he's done to the White Sox. We've got to get on the radar of the Colorado Rockies maybe being the worst team of all time. Because I don't know if you've paid any attention to this, but the Colorado Rockies are on pace right now for, I think, 32 wins. Yeah, pretty incredible stuff.
They're 6-25. So, officially, the Monfort brothers. Monfort brothers. Dick and Charlie Monfort. We're looking at you. We're watching you. We're on your shit. And when I say we're on your shit, we're just going to say you fucking suck ass once every couple of months, and nothing's going to change about your life, but we're on your shit.
I don't like the idea of brothers owning a team together.
Yeah, that is weird.

Chapter 8: What is the Fyre Fest of the Week and updates about Jordan and Bill Belichick?
Some horses just don't give a crap, and they don't work well anytime you send them to the racetrack, and yet they run really good in the afternoons, okay? That becomes just sort of part of the horse's personality, part of the horse's form. If you have a horse that normally works, lights out, and suddenly he's just working, eh,
so so bad sign if you have a horse that normally works black bluster and suddenly he's breaking watches boom that's a really good sign uh one of those kind of horses the latter is sovereignty trained by bill mott stretch runner the dolphin second in the florida derby
He's always been just a very average workhorse, and he's looked a lot better in the morning here at Churchill Downs than he has in the past. And he's going to be one of those horses running from the back of the pack.
Okay. Interesting. What's your favorite story about one of these horses in the Kentucky Derby? You always give us... One or two of these horses were like, this is a cool story. I know American Pharaoh has a child in this horse, in this race, from Japan. But do you have anything, any cool nuggets that we can sound smart when we go to our Kentucky Derby parties?
Probably the coolest nugget is, and it's going to be a big storyline in the Derby, and it has been all spring long, is a horse named Cold Battle. who is trained by Lonnie Briley. If you've never heard of Lonnie Briley, no one else who follows the sport of horse racing had really heard of Lonnie Briley either until a few months ago.
He's a 72-year-old guy, calls himself a coon ass from Louisiana, never had a graded stakes horse of any kind before, much less a Kentucky Derby horse. And Lonnie's here with Cole Battle, who's You know, legitimately a decent three-year-old. He's going to be 20 to 1, 25 to 1. But, I mean, here's a guy that's, like, been a media darling back here just because –
He's just, it's like a kid in a candy store. He's never been here before. It's actually very stressful for him. Bob Baffert has really taken a liking to him. And Bob wanted to do a selfie with him. And Lonnie said, why do you want to do a selfie with old coot-ass like me? And Bob said, I want to send it to my kids. And Lonnie was just, oh, he just couldn't believe it.
And Bob was joking with his wife about how nice that old man Lonnie Briley was. And Jill, his wife, said, oh, man, you're as old as he is. And so Bob had to go to Wikipedia. They're about the same age. Bob didn't like that. I love it.
That's perfect. All right, so that's me. I think I'm going to have to root for and bet on Lonnie Briley's horse. Coach O of horses. Yeah, do we have a – I know we ask this every year. At some point, a Japanese horse is going to win the Kentucky Derby, right?
