Then. Then we have. But he's had too much money for too long. Michael B. Jordan looks like a perfect human. So I want to know more. So. So dmx. DMX gives you a vibe.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

De Niro gives you a vibe.

[D]

But it's the same vibe.

[C]

It's the same. And Don legreca occupies that same.

[B]

That is amazing.

How do you feel?

[B]

[D]

[C]

Got it, got it, got it.

And I'm here.

[B]

[B]

Look, Peter's looked. No, he can't see. I know. Peter's been looking at me for 11 years, and he hasn't seen it yet,

[A]

but that's all right.

[C]

And so the first time you saw him, you went, who is this guy? This Don?

[D]

Exactly what I said. And now that's exactly. My husband would be like, your boyfriend's on the radio. Like, he would come tell me.

[C]

And so does it work from an, like, audio standpoint or, like, do you need to, like, watch on YouTube to get the whole, like, Don experience?

[B]

All right, we'll try and make another time. He was here. He was entertaining us during commercial breaks and now he's on our phone. Richard in Manhattan. You're on ESPN New York. What's up, Richard?

[C]

Hey, Richard.

[B]

Richard, I think there's something.

[C]

There he is.

[E]

Can you hear me? Can you hear me, guys?

[C]

Yes, Richard.

[E]

But, Peter, I met your cousin and his son. Oh, they were great. It was nice talking to them from Long Island. Very nice.

[C]

What was this? My cousin was here with his son. Remember I said my cousins was telling me how great the drinks are at the outside?

[B]

Okay.

[A]

He was.

[B]

Literally, he. Oh, all right.

[E]

Yeah, Peter, I told him what I thought of you. I told him how great and wonderful

[B]

how

[E]

you can handle anything. Sports, politics, music, wrestling, ufc, whatever. Anyway, Don, I got a question for you. The Avalanche have the Triple Crown Right now they have the most points, they've scored the most goals and they've given up the least amount of goals. Do you ever remember a team like this having the Triple crown and not winning the Stanley Cup?

[C]

I'd have to.

[B]

See the team that broke the record for points was. What was that? The, the 96 Red Wings. And they got beat in the, they got beat in the conference final by Colorado. I'd have to check and see. The thing is, I just had somebody here ask me, you know, who's going to win the Stanley Cup. I mean, right now it looks like it's the Avalanche, maybe Tampa. But you see all kinds of upsets. So I would not be surprised if it did happen, Richard. But I don't know the answer right away.

[E]

All right, NBA, we got to talk. This guy, Shane Gilgis, he's the mvp. You don't tell me about anybody else, Jokic or Cunningham. This guy never ever. I follow all the box scores every day. Never ever, ever has a bad game, ever. This guy is the mvp. He is consistent like nobody, every game he comes to play. And what a game last night, the Celtics and okc. There was never a lead bigger than five points. It went back and forth. Tatum didn't play, but Hartenstein didn't play for okc. But what a game, fellas. Man, back and forth, it was wonderful. Now the Lakers, if the Lakers play like they did last night, wow. Their starting five had 135 points. That's got to be the most this year. Starting 5, 135 points. 137. Their subs only scored 5 points. 5, 137. The fact that this Celtic team doesn't have a better, I mean this Laker team doesn't have a better record than it does is really a shame. And fellas, I'm just going to leave. Well, I got two more quickies. Zion Williamson never shoots a three.

[A]

Ever.

[E]

Never ever. This guy could have played 50 years ago. He could have played with Chamberlain and Russ. He could have played with Reed and Clyde. This guy could have played in any era. Zion Williamson. The fact is nobody likes him. That's why you don't hear more about him. And lastly, I'll leave you with this. Has there ever been a ball player, Al Horford. This guy was the fourth wheel on that Florida back to back championship team. They had Corey Brewer, pro. They had Joaquim Noah pro. They had David Lee. Probably while those guys have been out of the NBA for 10 years, this guy was the fourth world and he is still going strong. How do you explain that? It's an unbelievable medical.

[C]

No, he's been faded out, folks. But it is. It is true what he points out from that. Those Florida teams, that he ended up being the guy that lasted forever. He forgot someone, too, didn't he? Forget my other. The other guy on that team. But that is. It is an interesting point. Richard was shot out of a cannon today.

[B]

Yeah. And he. A lot of those points he was making with us live here, it just. It's great to see him. It's great to see everybody.

[C]

You love seeing Richard, don't you?

[B]

Now listen, Richard's a gem.

[C]

You were nervous about putting him live on the air, though.

[B]

Well, I just. I don't want to create a monster. I mean, this is kind of what we do. We had a lot of guests. It was a lot of fun. And maybe next year you're against it.

[C]

No, no. I think you made the right call. He seemed like maybe, maybe last year was so much that. Like he was almost too riled up today. I think in person might have exploded.

[B]

It's good to see. I just. I hope I'm as passionate about sports when I get that much older. And he's not jaded. He still loves it. Still carrying all the newspapers. I mean, he's as old school as

[C]

[B]

All right, Nick and Wanta is back. You're on espn, New York. What's up, buddy?

[E]

Thanks for taking my calls, guys. I want to talk. I want to talk about how the biggest loser in free agency so far for the NFL is the Dallas Cowboys. I'm a huge Cowboys fan. I think they made some pretty good moves. But they're the biggest loser because they didn't get the George Pickens deal done. Once Alex Pierce signed that deal, George Pickens stock just skyrocketed through the roof. I want to know what you guys think of that and what you think he's going to get.

[B]

Well, if he continues to progress the way he's going. I mean, I don't know the cap situation with the Cowboys. I know sometimes Jerry Jones can be very stubborn in negotiations and all that, but listen, wide receiver guy that can make the plays that he can make. I know Peter, he can be a bit much. But that's never stopped the Cowboys from signing guys like that before. Yeah, but not knowing the inner workings of their salary cap, it's really difficult to say. But he is one heck of a player, that's for sure. What don't I have? I pushed the wrong button. I'll be honest with you.

[C]

What happened?

[B]

I don't know. He just said. I was talking to Dan.

[C]

Oh. Oh, you're not talking.

[B]

It's really. I was. I was just gonna say this show was close to perfect and then it was just ruined. No, we were. There's mere moments before it was over.

[C]

We were 3 hours and 52 minutes into a show that really almost had been technically perfect.

[B]

Perfect?

[C]

Don met a woman who's just absolutely

[B]

in love with him. I thought you handled it pretty well. Do you think that was serious? You think that's just like a troll?

[C]

What do you mean?

[B]

That just. It's a goof.

[C]

No, no, I think. I think it's a legitimate crush. I Think. I think they're. I think they have a unique relationship.

[B]

They do have a very unique religion in which they can have fun with their. With their hall passes or Don Lagreca. And who is it from Saturday night? Tina Fey. It's. It's odd.

[C]

Well, she didn't say hall pass, though.

[B]

No, but for lack of a better word, it's not a hall. But no. What did she say?

[C]

Is that their imaginary crush?

[B]

Right. Imaginary crush.

[C]

But you're not that imaginary because you were.

[B]

And last I checked, Tina Fey was also real.

[C]

All also real people.

[B]

But I guess I. I guess not

[C]

all people know this. Tina Fey is doing a remote just further down the way.

[B]

Oh, listen. That's why they had to run. That's right.

[C]

She's outside of the Jacobs Pickles meeting people right now.

[B]

Bob, listen, she's been calling, what, 15 years? And she's always had nice things to

[C]

say about how far back do you remember this? I mean, probably.

[B]

I didn't really think it was that far back, but now thinking about it, yeah, it's been.

[A]

The first drop was in January of 2025.

[B]

Let's.

[C]

That's the first drop.

[B]

Okay, but let's hear the drop.

[C]

What's the drop you got over there?

[D]

I have had a relationship with you, Don, in my head since the first time I laid eyes on you.

[C]

Now, I want to ask you guys something. In January, 2025, was I there or was I gone with the baby? What's the date in January? Well, that's when the baby came.

[B]

Oh, that's a good point. I don't remember you being there.

[C]

My guess is it was in the

[B]

second, but that was 95. You brought her on. Because I wasn't sure what was going on.

[C]

What was the date there, Anthony?

[A]

That'd be the 21st.

[C]

I was not here. Baby came January. Yeah. So, yeah, that.

[B]

That moment.

[C]

And, you know, I gotta tell you something, if you want to know about, like, you know, who doesn't respect you? John Winthrop. No less an authority than John Winthrop. He would when I told him what I was planning, because they came up and said hello to me, and I said, all right, well, let's put her on right now. Let's surprise Don. He was worried about you, how you would deal with it. In fact, he had me. I was gonna have her go around and sit next to you. He had me scoot in and had her sit on the outside. Almost like he thought you would, like, spontaneously combust if you were close to a woman when she gave you a compliment.

[B]

Oh, that's.

[C]

It's troubling, but that's what he thought.

[B]

I know.

[C]

I wasn't worried about you.

[B]

I was sitting there going, and this for the people that aren't watching on YouTube, but just to give you a visualization of what I saw.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

As I was, like, coming out of break or I didn't know what was going on. I was doing the read.

[C]

Are you doing the read?

[B]

I was doing the read and I'm like, why is Lenny Kravitz, drummer, sitting next to Peter Rosenberg?

[C]

Is that what you legitimately thought?

[B]

Have you ever seen. Yes, because I saw the big Afro and I saw something. I'm like, who is this? You wouldn't just put anybody on the air.

[C]

No, you're damn right I wouldn't.

[B]

And, wow, that was good. See, you know, good. You sense good radio. You hunt for it.

[C]

It's. It's not.

[B]

You crave it.

[C]

It's. It's. I crave it, and it's in my DNA.

[B]

It is.

[C]

And so I was like, wait, you're saying the last year when we had extra time, we got richer.

[B]

Yeah. This is this year much more flattering to me. All right, Don.
