1 hour 5 minutes

Cousin Sal and Dave begin the show by comparing Mother’s Day gifts as Dave once again deems himself excellent at selecting women’s dresses; ultimately Martin picks who won Mother’s Day, Sal or Dave. An 80-1 long shot, Rich Strike comes out of nowhere to win the Kentucky Derby, where does this rank among great sports upsets?

Producer Eddie Spaghetti turns 30 today and celebrated by seeing Pearl Jam twice over the weekend. The guys discuss the Penguins/Rangers series as Eddie is still confident the Rangers will win and blames the Rangers being down 2-1 on bad officiating that’s happening across the league. Plus, the Pittsburgh Pirates dropped two games to the league’s worst Cincinnati Reds over the weekend and Martin believes the Pirates are the best example for relegation in sports.

Nikola Jokic reportedly will win his second straight NBA MVP as Cousin Sal has been saying on the show for a while but Martin believes Giannis Antetokounmpo deserved it more. The guys recap this weekend’s NBA games and poor officiating as even star players and coaches are calling out how inconsistent the refs have been. Plus the guys make their picks for tonight’s games between Boston @ Milwaukee (-1) and Memphis @ Golden State (-10.5) with Ja Morant likely out for the Grizzlies.

The Extra Points crew make their picks of the day and close things out with Sal and Martin trying to name as many Pearl Jam songs as they can in honor of Eddie Spaghetti’s birthday.
