<v Speaker 3>Seven.

13
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 4>Good morning, Bulldog, can't wait for Rockville. Wet Willy is

14
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 4>gonna be there this year. I hear they're gonna play

15
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 4>their hit Keep on Smiling, lots of other great hits

16
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 4>by Wet Willie.

17
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 3>I want to give him what Willy, don't you? That's

18
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 3>kinda be give him the three stooges.

19
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I poke.

20
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

21
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of ipokes, the timber Wolves gave the Warriors that

22
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 4>I poke last night. Steph Curry did not play. In fact,

23
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Steph Curry's gonna play the rest of

24
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 4>this series, which means I think the Minnesota Timberwolves are

25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 4>gonna win this series. They won last night one seventeen

26
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 4>to ninety three. That series now tied one. All yeah,

27
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Steph Curry not playing and without him, the Warriors offense

28
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 4>just falls apart because he opens up He not only

29
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 4>hits three point shots like nobody at history, but he

30
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 4>opens up the floor for everybody else. And with him

31
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 4>not playing, everything's just sort of clogged up, and the

32
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Warriors I don't think can win this series. So, by

33
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 4>the way, it's looking like we're gonna have an Oklahoma

34
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 4>City Thunder Minnesota Timberwolves Western Conference Finals, and it would

35
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 4>not be It would not surprise me at all if

36
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 4>the Indiana Pacers won the East because they're beating the

37
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Cleveland Cavaliers two to ohero Now it looks like the

38
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 4>Knicks could upset the Celtics. They're up to OHO in

39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 4>that series. So if it's the Knicks and the Pacers

40
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 4>in the Eastern Conference Finals, I think the Pacers are

41
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 4>a better team in the Knicks, which means we could

42
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 4>have an Oklahoma City, Indiana NBA Finals, which for you know,

43
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 4>pretty appealing for the NBA officionados out there, But the

44
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 4>casual viewers, I don't think you're gonna.

45
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 3>Watch Championship from the heartland, right.

46
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>I would love it, but I don't think that's gonna

47
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 4>lure a lot of casual viewers to the NBA.

48
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, first things first, she got Cleveland and Indiana tonight,

49
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>and okay, seeing Denver.

50
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, well let's let's see how we'll see.

51
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>What you say a casual fan, I scroll by the

52
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 1>finals and I haven't clicked on it yet for any

53
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of the games i've seen it, I've seen them listed

54
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>my guide and have not clicked on it since the

55
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Magic Round. I don't mean seem like a better Magic

56
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 1>fan of just I give her right sass about it,

57
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>to be straight up, Well.

58
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for your full enthusiasm in this segment, Taco, right, Well,

59
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 3>the segment I'm enthused about. I love you, love the dog.

60
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 3>I just think the NBA kind of maybe we should

61
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 3>go to the F one desk.

62
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Lights are literally out at the F one desk this weekend.

63
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>It's off weekend for the Italian Grand Prix next week.

64
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>I was just google and realize that, But how is

65
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>that for enthusiasm? We do have a NASCAR action on

66
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Mother's Day from Kansas, Kansas.

67
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Remember when NASCAR would not race on Mother's Day? Big

68
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 4>Bill Frantz always said, we won't race on Mother's Day

69
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 4>or Easter.

70
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, guess what.

71
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 4>TV contracts now call for them the race on Mother's Day.

72
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 4>And watch out for Kyle Larson at Kansas because.

73
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 3>That man dominates that track. Okay, this pull dog once

74
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 3>again going out on a limb. What else we have

75
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 3>in sports?

76
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 4>Sad news in Major League Baseball yesterday and for baseball

77
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 4>in Central Florida. Chet Lemon three time All Star outfielder

78
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 4>for the Tigers.

79
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 3>He's seventy seventy seventy years old.

80
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 4>He lived in a Popka former After he retired from baseball,

81
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 4>he started the chet Lemon Baseball School in Lake mary

82
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 4>coach baseball at the AAU level. Actually coached Eustace High

83
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 4>School from two thousand and one to two thousand and eight.

84
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Led Eustace to the state championship in two thousand and three,

85
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 4>so he had a big impact on youth baseball in

86
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 4>Central Florida. Coached a lot of former Major League players

87
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 4>from the area, including Zach Grinke from a Popka so

88
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 4>chet Lemon again he was an All Star, but in

89
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Central Florida he was a mentor, a coach, and sort

90
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 4>of a molder of young lives. So he will be missed,

91
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 4>no doubt about that. What else do we have.

92
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Planthers tonight, who you say are gonna make the big

93
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 2>return as they're on home ice for game.

94
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 4>They threw them ice to the ice tonight and again

95
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 4>the Maple leaves one two up there. Now they come

96
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 4>down to South Florida. So hopefully my Panthers will win tonight. Uh,

97
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 4>there's there's a major talk. By the way, guys, I

98
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 4>think this is gonna happen. I know, we don't talk

99
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 4>a lot about horse racing unless it's the Kentucky Derby,

100
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 4>And we talked earlier in the week about sovereignty that

101
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 4>Kentucky Derby winner is gonna skip the pre this because

102
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 4>I guess he wants to rest up for the Belmont.

103
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 4>And there's a lot of talk that the preaked this is,

104
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, too soon after the Kentucky Derby for today's horses,

105
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 4>So there's major talk about redoing the whole schedule.

106
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see what happens.

107
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Just give that horse a little cocaine like they lived

108
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 1>with the race dogs here and.

109
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>It steal milkshake. You got it, little sodium bicarbonate.

110
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:07.199
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, you watch, let your mister sports watch on TV

111

<v Speaker 2>Panthers game on tonight.

116
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.920
