00:00the summer. Now, we're going to start off with quick sports from inside Dave. Dave, what's going on?
00:04All right, let's start with baseball, where unfortunately the Yankees were crushed by the Mariners last night
00:09after a bad start from starter Domingo Hermann. Final score, Mariners 10, Yankees 2.
00:15Hermann threw just over three innings while giving up eight runs. He receives the loss.
00:22He's had an up and down year this year. The Yanks dropped to 41 and 34 for the season.
00:29The Phillies lost to the Braves 5-1, and they dropped to 38 and 36 for the year.
00:35The Mets were off this evening. They play the Phillies in Philadelphia. The Mets 34 and 30.
00:42Basketball, the NBA draft was last night, and the first overall pick, no surprise, he's a 7'5 phenom
00:52out of France named Victor Wembenyama. Kid from France, right?
00:57And he's 7'5 and can move.
00:59I saw pictures of him walking, or not pictures, video of him walking to the airport and just
01:03knocking his head on the signs hanging from the ceiling.
01:07It's crazy looking. And when you're 7'5, you're not supposed to move. And that's the thing.
01:11He can actually dribble and get down the court and make things happen. And it's crazy because
01:17when he gets the rebound on one end and takes the ball and dribbles down the court, it's like
01:22three dribbles and he's already at the other end.
01:24That's like three steps, yeah.
01:25Yeah, it's insane. So that's your number one pick. We'll see what kind of career he has.
01:30He was drafted by the Spurs.
01:31His feet don't even have to leave the floor and dunk.
01:34Oh, no, yeah.
01:36Oh, truly.
01:36Just reaches up.
01:37I mean, he truly, his wingspan is over three and a half feet and he's already 7'5, so on
01:4410-foot rims, he could actually reach up and dunk on an 11-foot hoop.
01:51UFC. UFC boss Dana White says Zuckerberg and Musk is a real thing.
01:58The fighters, the billionaires are dead serious about fighting each other and Dana White wants
02:07to make it happen. He says it'll easily be the biggest fight of all time, the biggest
02:12pay-per-view of all time, and he wants to make it an official UFC fight.
02:16I really hope they both get bashed in the face. I really want to see both of them bleed.
02:22This is, though, the update that we wanted. Dana White taking it seriously, so Mark Zuckerberg,
02:27Elon Musk, that could be a thing. That may be bigger than McGregor Mayweather. I think
02:34that's the only thing that's come close, and that was the biggest pay-per-view of all time.
02:39I can see going to a bar and having some drinks to watch that.
02:42Hopefully this time they don't stop serving me at that place.
02:46Yeah, that was ridiculous. And finally, football, new Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers
02:51spoke at a psychedelics conference in Denver this past week, advocating for the
02:57legalization of psychedelics by discussing his own experiences. He suggested that ayahuasca
03:04has improved his skills on the field. And then he ruminated a little bit, Carl.
03:08Yeah.
03:09And this is what I'm excited for. The Aaron Rodgers, Alex Jones-ish kind of theories. Quote,
03:17No.
03:18Is it not ironic that the things that actually expand your mind are illegal, and the things
03:23that keep you in the lower chakras and dumb you down have been legal for centuries?
03:30Hmm.
03:31Making you think, isn't he?
03:33Yeah.
03:33I'm taking it all in.
03:34One question.
03:35I'm going to burn some ayahuasca right now. Light a candle.
03:38Here's my question, Eddie.
03:40What the hell is a lower chakra?
03:43That's your quarterback.
03:44Is that like driving in the slow lane on the Garden State Parkway?
03:48Jets fans, enjoy.
03:49With your blinkers on?
03:50This is, uh, this is a, what's the New York media starts peppering this guy about his
03:55love of psychedelics as this guy's like the football playing Lizard King.
03:58You're not going to distract me, pal.
04:00I'm just saying.
04:01We're going deep in the playoffs with this man.
04:03I don't care if he's high as a kite.
04:05Well, hopefully the mojo keeps rising for Aaron Rodgers, and hopefully him and Ray Manzarek
04:10and your other offensive lineman, John Densmore.
04:13Uh-huh.
04:14That's fine.
04:14Continue to play well.
04:16That's fine.
04:17That's quick sports out of Eastside.
04:19Dave, come.
