We can talk F one. The Miami Grand Prix.

That's a big, big deal, I know, obviously, I mean it's one of the Uh the tickets for that thing are unbelievable, right.

Yeah, so yeah, Kentucky? Is that still must watch TV for you? By the way, the Kentucky Dirty You know what, I'll probably switch it on. Uh what the race itself actually is? Yeah, it's gonna say they start like at three in the afternoon, even earlier than that, I think with their coverage.

I'm like, how much I think?

I remember when I was a kid, the race actually started around five something, but now it's moved to, like you almost seven o'clock at night. Yeah, so yeah, anyway, is there by the way, is it besides like you know, major sporting events like the Super Bowl, you know, Final Fours, things like that, is there really must watch TV sporting events when you can just catch them later if you want to?

You know what I'm saying.

Well, I like to watch sports live as it happens, you know.

Yeah, yeah, but the Kentucky Derby's one of those events I missed it. I watch the replay of it on YouTube when I get home.

Yeah, I mean not where you kick yourself. I don't think unless you have some heavy wagering on it, and then you're gonna know in real time.

Anyway, NBA, last night, Nicks close out the Pistons. You got Nicks Celtics now in the second round of the playoffs. That'll be a highly rated series. I don't know if you saw Jalen Brunson's final shot last night, game winning three pointer with four point three seconds left. Jalen Brunson scores forty points for the Knicks, so the Knicks move on the other game last night, my Clippers, the team I picked to win the NBA Championship. They tied up

Now you're Florida Panthers know who they'll be facing the second round Now after the Maple Leafs took care of Ottawa last night and finished out that series.

Well, we don't have to worry about the Maple Leafs because teams from Canada never win Stanley Cup.

To they.

It's been a minute, I guess, but you know, yeah.

Toronto, man, they've been I remember when the Magic played the Toronto the Toronto Raptors in the playoffs a few years ago, and the Maple Leafs were going on at the same time. They love them Maple League in Toronto, and it's been a long time since they had any success in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

So, uh, what else.
