Now it's cool around the sports.

K T.

Queints has all the sports.

Yea, dude, but before we get to all the sports, because we're kind of messing things. We're messing with things a little bit today. Uh there's no formal today game on this Valentine's Day, But there is one candidate that I wanted to honor. This is a guy who is a media mogul. He's been doing everything radio TV for many years.

Rupert Murdoch. He you know, not Rupert Murdock. That's not Mike Doocy. His birthday the guy no no radio TV.

Oh yeah, dude. This guy's done sports. He's done you know, he's covered six Olympics.

Dale Anson.

This guy has been around Matt Lauer. He's known for a lot of different things. Uh. He is seventy seven to day. Happy birthday to legendary media man Pat O'Brien Garrett. We turned my audio up here, Here we go, Here we go.

Now, Zacram, that was wild. How big are you a.

Bad right now?

I'm probably at about putting around pounds two hundred pounds.

That's a little chicken nugget compared to me.

I'm at four seventy nine you but you know I was more of.

A three technique in the middle of the life.

I didn't know you played hold I thought you were just a big guy.

Oh I never played, but if I had, but we would have been a three technique maybe nose tag or something like that.

Right, what is the wildest thing you've ever had?

The Vegas bat?

For me, it was a threesomet sounds amazing. Who are the other two guys?

You're making fun at home?

Now? I forgot there was an extra person.

To be honest with you, I just can't even be getting to imagine that you're going to town and you look up if there's a third That is crazy to be a whole my peripheral.

I picked it up and realized it was almost suffocating.

I totally neglected who did you deglct?

I forgot that I was in the threesome.

That is the craziest. But that he I've ever heard it my whole life.

Is probably a smart option because it's a little younger.

How you spell you that?

Could you spell that for me?

Jason?

I want to write this, Yeah, I want to hear it too.

What spell what p U K A N A c U A interesting? Hold on? Hold on p U K what is.

It k K A.

There's a Q P U K A P and then there's a dead right after that in a c you A. Well, you're not an expert, I'm asked, Jason, are you sure that's I think.

That's what he says?

Is that accurate?

Yeah?

Yeh, Jason, what do you expect? That's a day there you go. Pat O'Brien, you look at the Career World series and he did it all. We didn't even get into the voice messages with Betsy. Shout out to Betsy, but he was great. Those are all interesting. Yeah, I need to find this ever time is he booking?

We didn't know anything about the team. We're writing down this funny name. You tell us.

I gotta find this.

Why am I on the show? I don't know anything to say? Hold on, I want to write.

So our guy, Pat O'Brien he worked at CBS for a long time. Yeah, but in two thousand and five he okay, so these these voicemails leaked out and there was a primetime special.

I'm gonna find this. This might be my weekend homework assignment.

Twis the five.

He did a talk show, a primetime special on CBS with doctor Phil.

Oh, oh god, are you serious?

Just talking about his alcohol and drug abuse and you know, the voicemails and all that stuff. And then the next day he returned to the show The Insider that he was on he signed a new deal as the host of the show. So he goes on it like they're like, hey, man, if you'll do the Doctor Phil thing primetime special, signed the contract tomorrow. But that's crazy to have Doctor Phil's voice and Pad O'Brien's voice together on a primetime special.

Yeah, well done.

In terms of sports, look, bad news continues to rain down for the Mavericks. Gafford's out for six weeks, yet the team on the court continues to win. In fact, if they hadn't lost on a overtime buzzer beater, then

I can't remember how that thing ended, but yeah, So they've had two at the end of the game losses, and aside from that, they keep winning.

Dude, I can't believe.

How out of his head Kessler Edwards is playing.

Were fun last night.

That was before the game, you know, I'd found out that Kai wasn't going to play, and then found out Klay wasn't going to play, and I was like, all right, they're waving the white flag. And then when I got down there, I found out, uh, Andrew Wiggins and Bam weren't playing for Miami. I was like, all right, so

Okay, so I went, I think I might read on things. I'm worried that we probably won't see Ad till next year. I don't know that obviously. I'm just I'm hearing Stein today. I read Stein today, and there's optimism. It's it's super guarded, it's guarded, and you know, but there is optimism. But I think we're not going to see him. We're not going to see Gafford. What are we going to see Lively?

Lively?

I think Lively and Gafford are probably going to return around the same time. Okay, so it's very possible that you are without Ad, Lively and Gafford until the playoffs until yeah, I think I expect Lively to be back first, probably, I mean, who knows about a D. But like if they said, hey, we're going to put a plan together on Monday, and then four days later they haven't said anything, I think that tells you what you need to know.

I think that's probably what they're doing based on what.

Stein is saying.

But then Lively gets back, and then I think Gafford gets back with about a week and a half of the season left, And so if they just stay in playoff contention, they're going to put a pretty good playoff team together that nobody's gonna want to play if Ad is back.

No, I mean even without a D.

I mean, I think if they have their full lineup without Ad, no one wants to.

See that team.

I wouldn't.

I sure Azelle wouldn't.

I mean, if they it's it's amazing that they continue to win despite being so shorthanded and despite the tornado that they're living in. With the trade of Luca or protests and all the chaos surrounding this, and you think about it, you're like, Okay, who deserves credit? Well, they they deserve credit for constructing a roster of so many good pieces, so many good pieces. And Jay Kidd deserves credit. Ye if they were if they had quit or haven't given up, or if they had given up, we would

They're competing their asses off every night.

Yeah, and it's an uphill battle.

And that that's why I'm like, I'll put it to you like this, even without a d Let's say both teams are fully healthy. The Mavericks are better than the Lakers. Oh yeah, I mean I really don't think it's close.

Now. The Lakers have Lebron and Luca.

I think if the MAVs squared off against the Lakers, you'd get Luca would average fifty in.

The that's everything good.

I hope that never happens for the for his career. I never want I don't ever want that to I don't want that to happen. Yeah, we've we've seen what happens when you take the ball away from him when he's trying to talk to the ref and he murders your franchise and then stares at you in the free throw line.

Then wasn't to the jazz the other night? Made me go, Okay, they're they may not make the playoffs.

They go, they've got a good head start though they're I think they're fourth or fifth. They're fifth right now. They've got a pretty sizable cushion above. I think Clippers are six, So they would have to fall apart to fall out of the playoff.

Like fall apart, Luca is.

Going to treat the MAVs like they broke into his house and stole one hundred and ten million dollars like it, like.

It's gonna He's gonna play them with a vengeance.

We will see it in two weeks, I know, but we're I I don't think we're seeing full power Luca in two weeks because I think this is a wake up call for him personally to go get in the best shape of his life. He's not there yet, No, And he's he's got a full week off, right That should help him quite a bit.

Yeah, that should help him quite a bit.

Oh and and you know it's gonna god, It's gonna be God. It's gonna be a he's gonna feel so conflicted because he's gonna be furious with Nico and the Mavericks for trading him. But those are his brothers. He's not gonna have hatred for the guys on the other side.

Yeah.

I don't know, man, I I understand what you're saying. I think he can flip that switch no matter who's on the other I mean, I think he can flip that switch on Jokich if he had to.

Right, it is a killer, that's what makes him spec. Yeah, he's a cold all right. Anything else we need to say? No, man, I do want to say this.

Uh.

I want us to all tip our caps to the great Jeff skin Wade.

Oh yeah, I like, you just had an incredible week all the games, you know, doing all the pregames, game broadcast, postgames, You've taken on so many other things, and you know, poor spacing in addition to the radio show. I just have immense respect for everyone in the MAVs organization for going through the stress. I don't care if you're in ticket sales, I don't care if you're in sponsorship.

I don't care. You know what department you're in.

Your phone has been blown up, and the whole world is coming at you with negativity. And that means a lot that the team has won these games, because I think it helps immensely.

I think everyone in the organization is looking forward to President's Day, yes day off.

All right, coming up next, let's get back into the SNL cast member bracket.

Part two is next.
