Speaker 1 (00:02):
It is the best of two pros and a couple
Joe with lamar As rating, Winn and Jonas Knox on radio.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
How we feel it?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Sticks? What up? Sticks?

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Good morning, sir? What's happening?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
How we feel it?

Speaker 5 (00:22):
Almo's overslept? What do you mean I was comfortable? Yeah,
well it was comfortable. That bit was cozy last night.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Man, I mean you got that rem sleep I sunk.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Up in there.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Man. You know we ain't supposed to do that. It's
rule number one. Don't don't sleep deeply.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
We just don't. It just doesn't work with our hours.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Oh yeah with this timeslop.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yeah, I can't.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
It doesn't work with our hours, and people have the
nerve to be a holes to us at times. Man,
do you understand the things we go through to be
able to deliver to you the content that you're receiving.

Speaker 6 (01:00):
I don't think so, yeah, but listen, you know, yeah,
that's all right. I mean we're gonna We're going to
power through this. I mean, look, well, I'm just saying
I'll give you credit. I mean, you're not gonna, you know,
walk away, decide to call it a career and then
decided then just pop back up.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, I'd like to. I like to go ahead and
uh and make this a thing again.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
So I thought this was a fake story.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
I thought you had sent me, you had sent me
the link to this story, and I thought that it
was I was going to click on something that was
going to take me down a road and an album.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, okay, So so that.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
Yes, because you know, like next thing, you know, I
clicked something that you send me and all of a
sudden loan and we're in the serengetti and there's a
bowll elephant walking around like he's like he's got a
building between it, and it's.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Just you know, the whole.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
So I got to be very careful, especially if I'm
at home looking at these links. So I click the
link and I go, wait what Darren Waller, Yeah, it's back.
Hold on second, hold on. We just played this clip
less than two weeks ago here on this show. That's right,

(02:23):
because Darren Waller was on the side you Don't See podcast,
and he explained the moment he realized that he no
longer wanted to play in the NFL.

Speaker 7 (02:32):
We were running like this counter lead running play, and
I'm kind of like leading through the hole like I'm
a fullback and the play is working. But I sit
down on the sideline after like a drive where he
ran like three times, and I'm like, what am I
doing with my life? I'm not here playing fullback. I
don't want to do this anymore. And I'm just like
looking at the moon. It's like early first quarter or
second quarter. Nobody else would really even know that I'm
thinking this, but almost all I'm like, Yep, I'm going

(02:53):
to finish this year the best of my ability, but
I'm definitely done playing after this year.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oops, next week, you know, he decides not.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
I'd like to play again, so much so that the
Miami Dolphins, following the trade of John hus Smith, their
Pro Bowl tight end sent to the Pittsburgh Steelers as
part of the Micka Fitzpatrick Jalen Ramsey trade. The day before,
the Miami Dolphins have acquired Darren Waller from the New
York Giants, who still had his rights following his retirement.

(03:24):
And I mean, I guess, he went on to tell
ESPN's Jordan ran On. He told people close to him
that he missed football and was returning for the love
of the game.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
My assumption would be.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Your assumption should be he's like lead to lap, I
can't believe anything he says falls. It doesn't matter what
he says, you can't believe it. Lee Lion Lion Waller
and Lee.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Lead to lie that.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
So I would read this as I was done playing football,
just football with the Giants. That would be my interpretation
of this, all right, And that would be or I
was done playing football until the opportunity to go to
South Beach came up, and maybe that was more of
the appeal.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
I mean, any one of those things could be a
possibility here and again here's the thing, right, I've been
saying this, and I'll hold true to this, all right.
Darren Waller's thirty two years old. By no stretch of
the imagination is that old or over the hill.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
But it ain't young.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
It's not young for his position, it's not young for
being in the league, like he's a veteran at thirty
two years old. I would say here because I have
said this about Aaron Aaron Rodgers. I've said this at

(05:07):
length because we have so much time to talk about it.
When somebody gives you an interview that says that they
have one foot in retirement and maybe have a toe
nail or two in the water a plane. That's just
a dangerous it's a dangerous move. It's a dangerous move.

(05:28):
And whether Darren Waller said he was done because well,
this was it and I was looking around into space
and I want to do my music, whatever it may be.
Whatever it is that gave him the reason to basically
call it, call it a day, you know, wrap it up.

(05:49):
It's because his mind is there. And I don't know
if his mind is truly there, but I don't know
that it isn't because of the things that he said
to me. If you brought him in there, you've brought
him in there to see where he's at with things,
See how he tests physically, make sure you're testing him

(06:12):
out mentally, to see if he really really wants to
learn to playbook, what he's willing to take his body to,
you know, the links he's willing to take his body to.
Before I make any type of real decision on him.
If they traded for him, that means they took the
contract that he had. How does that work be? Cuz
he did heat?

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Like, how does that work?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well?

Speaker 6 (06:33):
The giants had his rights, So whatever was the remaining
contract they would just assume as part of the trade, so.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
They were going to pay they were going to pay
Darren Waller while he was retired, the Giants were.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
So Waller signed if I have the numbers correct here,
he got a three well that was with the Raiders,
three year, fifty one million dollar deal. While he was
with the Raiders, he signed his deal with the Giants,
or that was part of the deal he got working
with the Giants, and then the Dolphins have assumed whatever
was remaining on his contract that the Giants were paying him.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Okay, I'd be curious as to what that number is
because the Giants were willing to unload it, which means
that they were still having to pay Darren Waller. If
they were going to maintain his rights, that means that
they were going to still have to be paying him.
So if that's the case and you traded that, I'm
curious as to how much that is because if Darren Waller,

(07:35):
Darren Waller comes back, he's not receiving more money unless
they were to do an extension with him, or restructure
the contract or redo the contract altogether. So he's coming
back for the same money, same amount of money, which
might be a nice amount of money, because I mean,
he did get a great deal, and well Las Vegas,

(07:56):
they were in Las Vegas by then from the Raiders.
Then it has to be he didn't want to be
in New York playing for the New York Giants. It
has to be that there's the possibility that that could
be what it is. He stepped away with the idea
of feeling as though he could escape New York without

(08:16):
playing there anymore, And that would be interesting. That would
be interesting because while he may be lying or was lying,
maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe playing for a
team that that wasn't very good and then the team
he played for before wasn't very good.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Maybe he was done.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
So the new according to Adam Scheft of the new
deal is worth up to five million dollars a one
year deal worth Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
See that's not that's not that's not that much money.
It's a it's a it's a nice amount for for
somebody who said they don't want to play anymore, But
that's not that's not a large number for them to consume.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, it's The Giants basically gave the blessing to trade.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
Him by acquiring the picks that they got from the
Miami Dolphins because they thought, listen, if he doesn't want
to play here, that's fine, we'll pick up something for
him and their late round picks in twenty twenty six.
You know, doesn't even you know, probably won't even factor in.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
It's just.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
I don't think that's a big enough number to be concerned.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Well to your point though, on the retirement thing, Dana
White has always said this the president of the UFC,
where he says, look, I tell fighters all the time,
if you're already thinking about retirement, you should probably just
head down that road. Like if it's already in your
mind and you're already hit knocked off and you're already
thinking about it, you should probably just you know, go
in that direction. And then I look at it and

(09:41):
I go, man, if I'm a Dolphins fan, I don't know, dude,
like this like that's the plan.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
That's what we're doing.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Like there's been there was speculation Kyle Pitts could have
been could have been had that maybe they would go
in the direction of Kyle Pitts because it just hasn't worked.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Out with Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
But Kyle Pitch, you look at and you go time
of his career, he gets to Miami, and who knows,
maybe Mike McDaniel and company can do something with Kyle
Pitts that they couldn't unlock in Atlanta because it just
hasn't worked out there. And instead the Miami response to
that is no, We'll just go trade for a guy
who retired, Like what do we.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I mean, it just okay.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
And and when you put it that way, Jonas, it
makes it very easy to come to like easy conclusions.
And to me, until you know, they say, you know,
in business, you look like you're you're a lunatic, or
you you look like you're crazy until what you do works,
you know, that's what we have here. It's an easy

(10:44):
conclusion to come to that these are not the most
the best decisions that are being made. And and if
you're bringing him in not only to see if he
can play, but if you're bringing him in to be
a starter, and and you don't really know where this
dude's mind is at, where his head is at. I
mean I'd say this it is it's a critical position,

(11:07):
but it's not a I must have position. I mean,
you could get him in there and you could use
him as you know, whatever it is that it's going
to work for in spot duty. I mean, maybe they're
not looking at it like they're fitting to ride to
train with, pause with with Darren Waller, like it's it's

(11:27):
it might not. It clearly isn't stated by the way
his contract sounds how much they're paying him, that that
they're really putting too much of an investment into him
as a player. So I don't know that it's that
big of a deal, but it still seemed like a
you know, and look, you mentioned Dana white Bones Jones

(11:48):
was staying retiring.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
He stayed. He stayed telling people, I'm retired. I'm retired.
I'm retired.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
And and I think in the fight game it's a
little bit more acceptable because guys say they're doing it
all the time, and then they come back.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
A leverage play for more money and sure, sure it is.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Then they come back next month and they fight, you know,
like that's that's kind of how it goes in like
the fight game. But here in football and the guy
is at age thirty two, it's.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Not that's not a that's not an age you play
around with it. It's really not like that. To me.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
That is an age where you're you're you're gonna play.
And if you're like say, if you're one of those
Hall of Fame types like Charles Hayley, like he did
it and stuff like that, like guys come out of
retirement to come play for for a little bit of
time or dur race of time. I get that, But

(12:49):
he came out of retirement and he's planning on going
through a full season. I just don't, you know, I
don't trust it. I don't trust it. And listen, I've
met Darren Waller. I think he's a cool dude. I
think he's a super super cool dude. And I hate
when I have to say things that I really, you know,
feel when it's somebody that you know, I've met and

(13:10):
I've gotten an opportunity to get a chance to know
when it's something that's not crazy positive. But I just
don't think it's crazy positive to bring on a guy
and pay them any amount of money when they've already
told you I don't want to play this game anymore.
Like that quote was as clear and concise as it

(13:31):
could get in saying why I didn't want to play.
Now you had a change of heart. You're allowed to
have a change of heart. People are allowed to have
change of heart. You have changes of heart all the time.
But just keep in mind that change of heart could
go back into oh, now I remember why I retired again.
You know, now, granted South Beach, you're not going to
deal with any weather that's going to make you say that,

(13:51):
other than it's too hot, you're not going to And
you know he's you know, he's not he's not in
I don't believe he's in any entanglements at the moment.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
So you know, that's that could be.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
There could be a lot of incentive for him to
go to Miami and play really well. Not to say that,
you know, girls are any incentive, but weather certainly is.
Weather certainly is a crazy incentive to want to come
back and play.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
Here's the part that doesn't add up to me if
I'm the Dolphins. So the John new Smith speculation about
getting traded, We've been talking about for a couple of
months on the show. That's been a talking point of
discussion for a couple of months on the show. So clearly,
because John U Smith had signed a two year, eight

(14:42):
point four million dollar deal with Miami, he performed had
the best season of his career last year and they
were looking at trying to do a different deal. John
new Smith wanted to stay in Miami. He was on
record of saying, I prefer to stay in Miami. And
so you're the Dolphins. You've all of this information about
John Husmith, his situation and whatnot. You know that this

(15:05):
is probably going to result in a transaction, meaning he's
going to get traded elsewhere. All this time to figure
out a solution, and the solution you come up with
is let's trade for a guy who's thirty two and retired.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm sorry, man, I just I don't get it. I
don't get it. I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
And didn't play.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yes, let's keep that in mind.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
He did not play this past season.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's like, God, he did not play.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
Zoligi retired and he's been off since February because he
just won a Super Bowl. Gone did not play, He
did not play, was doing music. And no, I'm not
hating on him, not no shade being thrown at all.
But it's just a little bit of a bizarre answer
to a question that you were asked months ago about
your tight end position.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
And this is where we are.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
Okay, I don't you know. But this is why I
look at Miami this year and I go, I hope
it works. I love ta love Mike McDaniel. I hope
he stays healthy. I just there's just some puzzling things
that are happening there that don't seem to add up.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
It just looks like that's happening with a few teams.
But hey, like the perception of it is, it's just
that's there's some shakiness with some of these teams.

Speaker 6 (16:26):
But on the bright side, Tyreek Hill did beat Noah
Lyle's brother, his brother in a hundred meters dash.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Okay he did.

Speaker 6 (16:34):
He still, so there's it's not all doom and gloom
for the Miami Dolphins. There is some some positive news.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
And they got makeup Fitzpatrick, yeah, you know, and he's
going to make their team a better team. And he's
familiar with them, obviously they're familiar with him. And this
second time, this second go around, you know, maybe a
really good a good stint for him.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
And also if you've got to make a Fitzpatrick jersey
from his first time around, nake.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
You cancycle it dust that bad boy. Possibly possibly does
he get the same number.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I don't know. I would, I mean, I would hope.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
So can you double check whether or not make if
Fitzpatrick gets the same number and I'm trying to figure
out what number that was, because I don't think he was.
Was he thirty nine with the Dolphins. Isn't that Larry
Zonka's number? I think he was twenty nine with the Dogs? Okay, yeah,
so yeah, so then listen, if you've got that jersey

(17:33):
line around, go ahead, dust it off.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
Let's make it happen, even if it is a different number.
For nostalgia, say dust.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
It all, like you know how many people had a
number seven d Brown jersey from back in the day
and then all the Celtics. Yeah, and then all of
a sudden they drafted Jalen Brown and it's like same
last name, same number. Here we go, duf, save yourself
about one hundred and twenty bucks for a new jersey.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Rock and roll.

Speaker 6 (17:59):
But hey, cong congratulations to Darren Waller back in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
With the fourth of July holiday right around the corner,
and it's very very hot out there, you know, starting
to temperatures are starting to rise all across the country.
I will say this, there's a lot of videos of
tornadoes popping up all over the country. So I want
in Atlanta, South Dakota, Colorado. Just want to see one.
It's all I'm asking for.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Not too much. That's a bucket list for me.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Not one that does at ney damage, not looking to
tear any structures down, but a wide open field.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I just want to see one. It's all I'm asking for.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
Meanwhile, they just dangle the videos in front of me,
and everybody's trying to figure out how to escape the
heat and the storms and all that.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
There is one way you can do it. You can
get in a nice cold bath.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
That's what you can do, Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Lamar Jackson did it. He was talking with Kevin.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
Hart on Coldest Balls Nice with Kevin Hart, and he
was asked about, you know, where do you think you
need to get better at.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
What's the most difficult adjusting for you in the NFL?

Speaker 9 (20:26):
Just being a leader? Okay, I'm gonna say being a
leader because I'm I really don't. I'm really not outspoken,
like being vocal with my guys like oh let's do
this and that got a great motivational speech.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
I don't have that, you know.

Speaker 9 (20:37):
I just pretty much lead by example.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
I go out there, I'm gonna work hard. I expect
that out of you.

Speaker 9 (20:42):
But as I've been going, like growing in the league,
it's like, nah, you gotta talk to the guys coaches
and stuff like talk to the guy in my all
right now. I talked to him one on one, but
certain things I'm saying, I gotta voice it more with
my opinion more to those guys.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
All right.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
So that was Lamar Jackson talking about out trying to
become more of a vocal leader even though he's not
really With Kevin Hart on the Coldest Balls Show, I
don't know if that's a podcast or whatnot, but it's
a podcast so.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Is this overrated? Overstated?

Speaker 6 (21:17):
The whole need to be a leader standpoint when it
comes to a quarterback, because yeah, I don't think you know,
anybody wants somebody who's a mute or somebody who's a
complete a hole. But to me, it feels like I'll
take somebody who's talented over somebody who talks.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, that one's a It's an interesting question. It's an
age old debate. You know, in my estimation, if your
talent is superior to others and people realize it, and
you have the ability to change games and do things,
you you automatically kind of play yourself into being a leader.

(21:59):
And as Lamar mentioned, you know, he likes to lead
more by example than by saying things. It's it's tough
when you're a quarterback because it's it's a role that
is deemed the leadership role, whether you like it or not.
It's like that's the position where you can't be a
quiet person. And that's just kind of how the the

(22:24):
job description has been defined. So while while it's like, yeah,
let a guy be who they are naturally, I think
they have to at the position of quarterback, you have
to learn how to communicate well enough to be enough
of a vocal leader, you know, for for the team,

(22:46):
for your unit. Now, you don't want that to come
across as fake or phony. You definitely want to be
organic and be you know, authentic in the person that
you are. But when the game is on the line,
you know, sometimes it takes hearing from your quarterback to
say let's effing go, you know, when when you're about

(23:08):
to start the game. You know, you see how Tom
Brady used to run out and like scream at the
fans and then start head butting his linemen and stuff
like that. Like, you know, Tom Brady isn't a raw,
raw guy off of the field. You know, he's not
one of those like loud, boisterous dudes off of the field.
He gets in the character. He got in the characters

(23:29):
as a player. So I just think that's a hard
it's a hard debate. For most most positions, you can
say that person doesn't have to be very vocal, doesn't
have to be a loud leader, doesn't have to be
a raw, raw guy and bring it up and deliver
a Maximus decimus meridius speech to the guys before they
go out there. But that would be I would say

(23:52):
jonas a quarterback that doesn't bring a strong leadership quality
to the table is almost like having a head coach
that doesn't bring to the table a strong leadership quality.
I mean, you know what I mean, That's what I
would I would say the importance of that voice is

(24:12):
almost just as important as the voice of your head coach.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
But wouldn't you say also that a guy like Lebar Jackson,
he may not have the voice, but he's got the
skill set and the talent that it can override whatever
deficiencies he has in that voice to wear a coach,
all he has is his voice and his leadership like
you have. There's nothing else you can show to try
and get guys going to where Lamar Jackson could just

(24:38):
be like, I don't know, pick a game, put that
one on if you want.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
To know how to do this right?

Speaker 5 (24:44):
Yeah, but leading by example, like he's only got what
one or two backups at most? Yeah, so that leading
by example watch what I do and see what I
do and stuff like that. Sure that I mean that
could be helpful to guys that are backing him up
as a teammate or as a backup to him. But

(25:05):
when you're talking about the rest of the unit. They
can see how good he is. They can they can
see the things on film that say he's giving a
maximum effort. But again, I think it still comes back
to and the reason why I think he's that the
quarterback's position is comparable to the head coach's position is
because it's a it's a position of guidance. You know,

(25:29):
it's a position you have to communicate. You you're the
one that in a lot of cases, you you're calling
the play. I mean, the way they get plays is
a little different these days. Some people get it from
the sideline and you don't really have to get it
from the quarterback. But the quarterback has to to communicate
every single play, and he has to communicate to everybody

(25:50):
on that unit in some shape or form, and he
touches the ball every single time. His level of importance
and his level of competency competency has to be so
much higher than everyone else's, I mean, standard wise, and
because they have the most responsibilities of anybody on the field.

(26:11):
So while again while I say listen, I played with
Jeff George and I always use him when these types
of conversations come up. I always use Jeff George as
an example. Jeff George did not speak. He was not
he was not a talker. He was not going to
give you a speech before the game that was going

(26:32):
to just blow your pants off and you'd be like, Yeah,
let's go get these mother lovers. And that wasn't Jeff George.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Was he I've always heard that was he arrogant? Or
was that just the outside perception?

Speaker 5 (26:43):
The perception of him was he was arrogant because he
couldn't have been one of the most coolest dudes that
you'd ever meet. He's just I don't even want to
call him like socially awkward, but maybe that's what he's
just quiet.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
Because Cutler, Jay Cutler, got the Jeff George comparison all
all the time.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Yeah, but Jeff George didn't make faces like Jay Cutler.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Like Jay Cutler.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Jay Cutler did some things in like public where you
could see it, and his facial expressions and the nonchalantness,
like Jeff George had that look like a nonchalant look,
but Jay Cutler's looked totally and the way he talked
it totally hit the building that they put on on
fear or not. It totally fit. Jeff George was just cool.

(27:26):
He just didn't talk much. Man, he just wasn't one
to talk. Could spin out a cannon sling that thing, Bro,
You'd be like wow, like look at the like arm talent.
There aren't very many you could sit there and say
it had the same arm talent or comparable arm talent
to Jeff George. Dude, throw that ball, bro, I think
came off his hand.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Like so so easily. But it just it was out
of here.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
I've heard or Lacker talk about it when the Barrius
traded for Cutler the first time they saw him and
practiced there. Like Jesus, it just looked different and much
like Jeff George just look different than everybody else the
way they can do.

Speaker 10 (28:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Uh, Jon, I just don't think you got to be
an over the top communicator, Like, yes, you got to
be a leader, because that's what the job description calls for.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
And just like with a coach, a coach has to.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Whether they're a good communicator or not, they have to
have those types of abilities. It's a part of your
job basically, a part of your job description is to
be be a leader.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Did you ever hear the j Cutler story?

Speaker 6 (28:31):
At the urinal, So he's I don't know, have you
ever been approached by a fan while you're at the urinal.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
If you want to if we want to be honest here, Yeah,
it's one of the most heavily it's one of the
most heavily used places to meet a celebrity.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Well, you can't go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
It's it's amazing how many times I've seen my friends
or or even myself get up go to the restroom.
And you'll see people get up and go to the
restroom and it's like some of them can't even hold
their water. They'll get you while you still like you still,
you know, doing what you're doing. Yeah, some people like.
And the worst one is when when you go into

(29:16):
a stall like and you can see under it, you
can see the legs, so you trave waited a little
longer and the legs aren't going anywhere. Then you finally
get up to come wash your hands, and then they're
acting like they're washing their hands and like, hey, how
you doing? Didn't know you were there? Are you by chance?
Such and such man, it's such a great, great pleasure

(29:38):
to meet you. You know, you get it more than
you would ever imagine that's like the safe place to say,
hey are you such and such, or they'll catch you
coming out the door. If it's a young lady, they'll
catch you coming out of the door.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
I don't even know.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
I don't even think we've talked about this before. But
the first time you and I met, I don't like you.
You were giving me a weird look, and I don't
know why. So, for people that don't know this story,
so LeVar and I. I saw LeVar at a Urinal.
I pulled up right next to him and I said, hey, man,
nice watch. And for some reason you took offense to
that or got weirded out by that, And I don't

(30:13):
know why.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
I mean, I don't remember that. I don't remember this story.
I don't remember this story, and I'm not going to
I'm not going to play into this story.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
All right.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
So but so here's the J Cutler Urinal story.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Real story actually this time, okay, tell them that that
was not a real So it's not a real story.
My watch was right where my watch was right where
everything was taking place.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Damn, LeVar, is that is that avto or Rolex?

Speaker 6 (30:46):
So? So J Cutler reported, and I guess I guess
this is I guess this has been confirmed. So he
was at a urinal taking care of business, and there
was some guy who was a fan of his, who
I guess was also a Vanderbilt alum, and literally walked
up to j Cutler while he's at the urinal and

(31:09):
starts to say, hey, man, I went to Vanderbilt too,
just wanted to sit, And before he could even finish
his comment, Jay Cutler just leaned his head back and went,
don't care.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
People heard it.

Speaker 6 (31:22):
The guy got shamed and just walked out, and people like, oh,
Jay Cutler, such an a hole.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well, no, that's the exact response you should get.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
If a guy's got his back turned at the urinal,
you don't come up and fanboy out to him.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
And Jay Cutler just leaned his head back and said,
don't care.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
Finished his business. So I mean listened. He he's a
different leader too, you know he was. He'd like to
approach it the whole process, much different than everybody else.
On the subject of Lamar Jackson. I would say this, However,
he decides, you know what, whatever his leadership you know,

(32:01):
ability is, and he doesn't like to be as vocal
as everybody else as he said, that is one guy
that I root for to win a Super Bowl like.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I will no, no, no, no, no, Lamar Jackson. That's
long ago, no no, back to Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
I would I openly root for Lamar Jackson to win
a super Bowl because I love everything.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
About that guy.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
I love the way he plays, I love his approach
to all this. He's never been a douche. He's never
you talk about anybody that could be arrogant. Never, never,
one time in his career has there ever been an
issue with that. And sort of the conversation about well
a running quarterback like Lamar Jackson can't win a super Bowl,
blah blah blah, all of that stuff, you know, especially

(32:43):
in the conference he plays in with all those great quarterbacks.
That is a dude who I hope one day wins
a Super Bowl just so he can shut so many
people up. The way he handled his contract, not having
an agent, all of that. There's been so many people
that have dismissed him this entire time, for whatever their
reasons are.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
I openly will.

Speaker 6 (33:03):
Root for Lamar Jackson to win a Super Bowl. He's
one of my favorite players in sports.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Nice. Yeah, I think He's a likable guy too, you know.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
I think that you know, if if you ever had
a problem with him, then you generally probably might have
a problem with yourself because he just does not give
you a reason ever to dislike him, you know, even
when from the shirt and when he comes out to
the podium, you know the the nobody cares, work harder
type stuff, Like his approach is so he reminded. His

(33:31):
voice is like his mannerisms. He reminds me of sweetness
so much. I remember, like the interviews I used to
see a Walter Peyton and how he had a sit
He was so soft spoken and just the way that
he would communicate was very like direct and just straight.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
To the point. And that's a lot like how Lamar
Jackson is. Like There's the one thing.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
That I've always appreciated about him is he is truly
authentically who he is like the people that he grew
up around. He's the same exact dude, just older, you know,
just older, but hasn't tried to be something. He's not
tried to be somebody is not, which comes back to
the original point of should he be like him? Giving

(34:14):
himself that criticism that's great to challenge himself to want
to do that better. And I think that that makes
it even more of an asset for his teammates that
he would try, because his teammates already know. They already
know that he the things that he will say. His

(34:34):
teammates already know that it's going to be trumped in
spades by the way he plays the game. So just
to get an like he could come out and try
to give a pregame speech Jonas and it be the
worst by standard, Like, oh, that isn't like how such
and such would have done it. They would have said

(34:55):
it and it would have been you know, you know,
communicated way back. His teammates are at the worst of
it will be like that. That might have been the
dopest pregame speech that I've ever got in my entire life,
because you know, if you're getting it from him, that's
it's a real moment for him. He's taking himself out

(35:18):
of his own comfort zone to be able to say
and communicate to you how he feels about what we're
about to go do and go do together. So to me,
it's a win win situation here. He can't mess up
being a leader to his team at this point the
way he is, he can't it's you're not gonna dang.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
I got it wrong.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
I didn't say the right words, because really all he
needs to say in those moments of being a leader
is what it is that he's thinking. He doesn't have
to make anything up. And I think that that's kind
of he's earned that right if he came in, came
in right away trying to do that. Maybe you the
risk of them like a da da dad. I don't

(36:03):
really feel it. But he has proven so much to
that that organization, to those players, to the community that
the few words like people that are you know people,
a few words that say impactful things, people hang on
to those words as if it were the same amount
as one hundred times that many words. So I think

(36:25):
it's a great it's a great observation for him. It's
a it's a great critique, and it's probably a super
super positive thing for him to say, I want to
tackle the challenge of being able to be a better
leader and communicate better with my teammates moving forward. It's
going to help him to grow. He will grow a
little bit more because he's taking himself out of his

(36:45):
his comfort zone.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
He is everything that Cleveland thought they were getting into.
Shaun Watson, Baltimore gets it with Lamar Jackson, and then
some like just the way like there's never been a
wisp of any off field issues. There's like, I mean
nothing like, there's been no talk about him doing anything
that you look at and go you give a side

(37:08):
eye to that. It's just his whole approach, the way
he handles stuff. I mean, you know, he he may
have gotten the runs during a game, who knows. There's
still some mystery about that. He seemed to disappear and
run into the locker room and then come back out.
That was a little little interesting. But other than that,
I can't think of any time where you look at
Lamar Jackson and go, I don't know, you question that

(37:29):
guy's character, You questioned him as a leader whatever. Just
a great player and no issues off the field. And
that's a guy I mean.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Who have one issue one time off the field, which
is what when when he tried to make a fool
out of a seado that was was on the beach,
you know, running one hundred miles per hour and then.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Oh yeah, ill advised.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yeah, that's.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
Gotta be careful out there. Especially these summertime acties. But yeah,
I mean he's he's awesome. So uh good for Lamar
Jackson and probably do you do to get a major
payday as well too.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Again on the NFL, be sure to catch live editions
of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn,
LeVar Errington and Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern

Speaker 6 (38:22):
There's a tradition on this show, and that tradition is
none other than Petros. Papadaikis the co host of the
Petros and Money Show, which you can hear on the
Blowtorch and five seventy LA sports Box college football Analyst
and find him on X at the Old p Petros

(38:43):
Good morning, Good.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Morning, Hello skirt, what Pete? What's going on?

Speaker 10 (38:49):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Is this the other Jello?

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Oh there's only one Jello.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
There's only one Jello? Hey, but I'll tell you what
there isn't just one of was today years old when
I realized who Jeff Bezos just just married? Oh yeah, yeah?
Can you give me because you you're an l A guy,
can you give me some color on this?

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Bro? Sure?

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Because it is sports related? Oh yeah, his marriage is sports.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Related, make sure to add some color on it.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
There used to be a comedy.

Speaker 10 (39:20):
There used to be a comedian in uh in Gotham
City who had a wife and I think a pregnant
wife or something, and was struggling and went into a
life of crime and fell into a vat of chemicals.
And that comedian came out with green hair and and
a weird white face. And now they're known as the Joker,

(39:42):
the Joker, And she married Jeff Bezos.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
No, I'm kidding, Uh, thank you Jonas.

Speaker 5 (39:51):
Uh she uh she worked Miss Discriminate though well, Miss
sin Chez worked at Channel eleven, which one is that
KTTV out here, which is the Fox affiliate.

Speaker 10 (40:10):
So she worked at the Fox affiliate, which is not
where all the Fox people like me work, which is
down the street, which is the Fox Lot, the movie lot,
which they actually sold along a few years ago to
ESPN and a bunch of other people. They don't own
it anymore, but they rent their sports building on the

(40:32):
Fox Lot, so if that makes any sense, the twentieth
century Fox Lot is really no longer owned by Fox,
but that's where we all work. KTTV is on Bundy,
which everybody knows from the OJ trial a little ways
over in Brentwood, West LA. And that's where Fox eleven is.

(40:54):
She sinchez worked there as a news lady.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Believe that I don't know, I just like to uh
or Lopez.

Speaker 10 (41:06):
Uh. She she she worked there at kt TV and
uh she was married, even though it's not listed. She
was married to a famous old kt TV's foot soldier
reporter and really good play by play guy who was
a USC played by play guy for SC basketball and
he was an Angels play by play guy.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
And he passed away, uh kind of suddenly. Uh, but
he was. She was married to Rory Marcus for a
little while, was she really uh huh? And then she
uh yeah, uh Brian Thompson. Yeah, and she was married
to Huge.

Speaker 10 (41:44):
It was like the Kim, that black dude that Kim
Kardashian was married to first that everybody at yeah, yeah,
everybody acts like ray J was the first dude to
date her. But uh so after that, she dated Anthony Miller,
the the wide receiver from the Chargers and Denver Yes,

(42:04):
and then and then she dated Tony Gonzalez and had
a baby with him, and then she dated like Derek Fisher. Yeah,
and I mean she'd been around uh and uh and
then Bezos snatched her up.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
But she doesn't look the same that she as she
used to, and neither does he.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
You know, he looks like this different.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
He looks like a sperm that lifted weights. So is
it like a swall little sperm.

Speaker 6 (42:33):
Is it fair to say that she she's got power
to all fields? Basically looking at her resume here, well,
I would as far as.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
I mean to me, it still seems like she's she's
one tool player.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Because Rory Marcus looks different than Anthony.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Yeah, well Rory.

Speaker 10 (42:50):
Would be Yeah, that was you know, the black guy
that Kardashian. But uh, let's see if I got any wrong.
She got Tony Gonzalez, that was her two thousand, they
had Anthony Miller.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Then she was with Derek Fisher.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Yeah, and uh, Henry Simmons.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
I feel like, whoever, they're good looking dude, super good
looking dude, played like a police officer on on television.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
And then well then she married another random white.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
Patrick white cell. Then she yeah, she went back to
the other side, and then she came back. You know, well,
she stays, yeah, you're right, she she hits Hoppo, So yeah,
she's not yet.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
She's not Taco Yeah, real slock hitter.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
And she don't go and she don't stay at certain
like skin color either, like she goes light skinned, dark
skinning brown.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
You know what bringing it everybody up top?

Speaker 5 (43:40):
I mean, she's United Nations. This is what the American dream,
That's what it's all about.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
I'm happy for her. Well, she's got a lot of
friends who are.

Speaker 10 (43:50):
Like people at Fox, like the kind of people, the
kind of person that sued Cowhard or who who did
that Lady Sue Sharp.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Yeah, a lot of.

Speaker 10 (44:03):
Those type of people were like people that work at
Fox wardrobe people stuff like that. And then you know
Carrissa is very close with them, who does a lot
of work with Amazon. So it was there was there
was some people that I knew there that were If
I was there, there would have been people to sit with.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
Can I ask you a question of follow up to this?

Speaker 5 (44:23):
What is it? What is it with la people sharing
one another? Like I've never like, maybe I haven't liked Hell.

Speaker 10 (44:31):
I don't know, I'm from here. Don't nobody cheer for me?
They don't share you, they don't cheer me. Show me
or share me.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Or cheer me.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
Yeah, share not chare not cheer leading. Sharing sharing is caring,
Like a lot of people share each other's people out here,
like you get it.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
It's a weird culture of that in l A.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
I have.

Speaker 10 (44:55):
Yeah, I used to know Maui pretty well just from
uh a home there that my in laws owned, so
we would stay, you know, out of the hotel areas
and stuff, and you end up talking to people and
you get to know people that live there, and they
don't they talk about women there that there's just not
that many women and that there's.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Not really that many people on the island.

Speaker 10 (45:18):
And I always think of a Hawaiian island, especially Maui,
as like a movie set, and sadly it was very
very prevalent when they had the.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Disastrous fire there in Lahina.

Speaker 10 (45:33):
But I always think of those places as kind of
a movie set, like it's beautiful. There's all these buildings
that it seems like there's all this stuff, these stores,
these restaurants, but there really are no resources.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
And if you push on it, it like falls over.
It's it's false, it's not real.

Speaker 10 (45:51):
And you learn that when something bad happens, like an
individual disaster, where somebody gets hurt catastrophically and if you
can't survive.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
A back to Honolulu, you're gonna die.

Speaker 6 (46:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
This is a long way to answer your question, but
I think it's prevalent.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
It's all right. What people I feel the relevance of this.

Speaker 10 (46:10):
What people say in Maui is you don't really get
your relationship with a girl.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
You get your turn.

Speaker 10 (46:19):
Because you know, there's really not that many people there.
You know, it's kind of like you know that old joke,
it's your night in the barrel, and so it's about
eligible day. I don't I think Lasca there are a
ton of people in La Yeah, there's people here, there are,
but there's only a certain amount of people that think

(46:41):
that they're as cool as these idiot marginal TV stars
that you will share.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
And God forbid, and God forbid one of those women
who gets meta backed, you know, then oh.

Speaker 10 (46:50):
Yeah, they're never going to survive the medavac to Honolulu.
But they're just that it's a little tiny pond and
they just jumped from lily Pad to lily pat without
really going anywhere.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
Who's in the pond? Is it like they know where
to go? Like, like, how do you like, this is
an impressive There's.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
A sign outside of the pond and it says c AA.
I mean that's seriously, you know it's.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
It's so they meet through agencies.

Speaker 10 (47:21):
Yeah, it's agency bs. It's people who have you been
to these parties that you guys go to the Sleeper Bowl? Yeah,
but you guys go to the Super Bowl, right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
I don't go to the parties.

Speaker 10 (47:33):
But you see all the TV people walking around the
space and they all act like they are seriously, like
at the at the GA seven conference, like they are
signing global law into uh.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
I mean, they really do act like they're doing something important.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
And they only stay in their own space too, by
the way, Like you'll see them moving around, but they
only acknowledge one another.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Radio.

Speaker 10 (48:02):
Well, yeah, it's like being at those parties whenever. And
this happens to me at the Fox Seminar every year.
And I've been going to the Fox Seminar probably longer
than anybody else that's worked there, because I've worked there.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
For so long.

Speaker 10 (48:15):
But I mean other than Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw
people like that, but everybody that you talk to, it
feels like, at least me, they're always looking over your
shoulder for somebody cooler to show up, you know, And
that's that's kind of like the vibe of these people.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
But not everybody's happy with the bezos sweating.

Speaker 10 (48:35):
I mean, there was massive protests, I don't know if massive,
but noticeable, noticeable protest in Venice where people were unhappy.
They don't love their tourists there, But I don't really
know what they have if they don't have tourists. Just
a bunch of stinking brackish water and uh, it grows
and then I mean, can you imagine.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
It's literally.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
Brackish before?

Speaker 10 (49:01):
Yeah, it's thousands and thousands of years of rotting city
on a disgusting water. But anyway, the people, the people
in Venice weren't happy. Charlie Thorne took a shot at
them from the Universal lot at some party, and Katie
Kurrk called it tacky, and so did others like Bethany

(49:21):
Frankel and people that weren't invited.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Does she count?

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Does? Who does count?

Speaker 4 (49:28):
Frank though?

Speaker 3 (49:29):
I mean, I'm just saying there's some pushbacks.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Skinny Baka now Petros, I am wondering.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Kitty girl, Margarita Arguer, will.

Speaker 6 (49:37):
You be tonight is a big night for the Why
what did I miss? Clayton Kershaw will go? Oh this
three thousand strikeout against the awful White Sox leader Dodger Stadium.
Will you be live on location for that event later on?

Speaker 10 (49:54):
No, No, we inquired about being there and then we're
not going to be there, but usually we are there
for events like this. But either way, Yeah, the Kershaw
thing is happening tonight. He's had a long career.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Kershaw. Excuse me, hold on, bless you, sorry, bless you?

Speaker 4 (50:12):
No worries? Do you take do you take a martial
arts class?

Speaker 7 (50:17):
You you.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
You're a dishonor.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
No?

Speaker 10 (50:29):
We were talking about Kershaw. Kershaw reminds me a little
bit of Kobe in town, you know. And I don't
think people can really grasp I mean you could look
at the numbers and all that, and the playoffs were
a whole different rigamarole. But Kershaw has had a heck
of a career and he was so dominant when he

(50:50):
was in his prime as a pitcher. The Dodgers took
a trip to Australia. Remember when they played in Australia,
we all remembered Korea and Japan, but like seven, eight,
nine years ago, they played in Australia and to start
out the season and the long flight and the flight
home ruined Kershaw's back to where he needed to have

(51:13):
back surgery. And he's never had elbow surgery. Imagine that.
I mean, this guy's been pitching for twenty years. Most
guys by the time they're twenty years old have to
Tommy Johns now that major league pitchers. This guy has
never had one.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
But he did end up having back surgery. But he
reminds me a little bit of Kobe in that he
was so dominant in his time and.

Speaker 10 (51:38):
Literally not very friendly with the LA media and just
you know, just not a cup cuddly, warm guy, and
you got the the and I don't blame him, but
you know, he's from Texas and you get got the
idea that he was just didn't want to be here,

(52:00):
you know, like Los Angeles was not a great fit
for him. But of course it's been a dream career
and he's had the whole thing here and him and
his wife Allen, have learned to adapt to the area
during the season and all that. But it does remind
me of Kobe because like the last three or four
years as his career has just sort of unmercifully come

(52:22):
to an end, and he keeps going. And he's not
throwing ninety five ninety six anymore. He's throwing eighty nine.
And he's still striking people out, and he's still got
a lot of savvy up there. He's the oldest looking
thirty seven year old or whatever in the history of
the world. I mean, he looks like Greg Oden or
DeAndre Ayton there. He's got the old man look, deep

(52:42):
crevices in his face.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
I mean, the sweat marks on his hat.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Yeah, he's wearing it.

Speaker 10 (52:46):
And he and now he's like all friendly and doing
interviews and he's everybody's BFF.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
And it's like to me, it's a little bit like Kobe.

Speaker 10 (52:56):
It's like, remember how you act in the last sixteen years,
you know, and all of a sudd now that you're
on your way out, it's like, hey, I love y'all.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
It's like, no, you don't.

Speaker 10 (53:06):
But anyway, he's had a hell of a career and
he's had a terrible, terrible time of it in the playoffs. Also,
there's been a lot of ups and downs, and he
is he is an icon and he would have gotten
It looked like he would have gotten into his three
thousand strikeout and wherever they were, Colorado, but they pulled

(53:29):
him and when he had three left with only not
that many pitches, so they could set the stage for
what otherwise might not be a very well attended game
tonight at Dodger Stadium against the White Sox. So there'll
be a coronation tonight unless he just goes out there
and gets his boob scooped out.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
But that's problem. I don't think that. I mean, the
White Sox aren't very good.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Now you mentioned the plane ride.

Speaker 7 (53:53):
Is that?

Speaker 6 (53:54):
Is that the story that everyone's going with that the
plane ride from Australia hurt his back?

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (54:00):
Real?

Speaker 3 (54:01):
How are you saying that he was eaten by a dingo?

Speaker 6 (54:04):
So I'm just like, how do you like sitting on
a plane. It's not like they're taking the plane ride.

Speaker 10 (54:09):
I mean, the guy was never hurt, he never had
any issues, and the long plane ride he slept weird
and his back got weird and then he probably pushed
it on the bad back and made it worse or something.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
I don't know, like it's not my back. I got
enough problem?

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Were they taking the Romancing the Stone plane, Like.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 5 (54:28):
Like that?

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Romancing the Stone? It feels like they leave me alone.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
The travel in luxury and he wouldn't have to worry
about backpain. I've never flown to Australia, so I don't
know exactly.

Speaker 10 (54:38):
You should book your favorite guy, David Vassy Dodger reporter,
because he is the guy behind the Kershaw's back was
ruined on the Australian plane.

Speaker 6 (54:49):
Hey, Kershaw's the reason David Vassy attacks me on the air. Okay,
because David Vassay has got trauma from back then and
he takes it out on me.

Speaker 10 (54:57):
So you know what, You're right, he has a lot
of trauma being bullied by baseball players over the years.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
I don't know what's going on. Are we almost are
we wrapping up the uh? The era of being nailed
by the King petros is?

Speaker 1 (55:10):
It?

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Is it winding down here with Lebron?

Speaker 4 (55:13):
What's Romancing the Stone?

Speaker 3 (55:15):
Romancing the Stone?

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Was that a how did they slip that into the
into culture?

Speaker 4 (55:20):
And nobody really took a good look at it.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
But romancing the Stone?

Speaker 5 (55:25):
What is the stone that's being romance It's like a
jewel that they were all at you.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
Of course it is.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
And then there was a.

Speaker 10 (55:33):
Who's the main character in that movie? Michael Douglas, Kathleen
Turner and Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito, no further than that
first name. I already know what Romancing the Stone is.
When that first guy is in the movies.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
That a reference to cocaine.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
No, Michael Douglas, he's horned up.

Speaker 10 (55:52):
I don't think there's any batter like angry, pissed off
cocaine a hole, give it up main character than Michael Douglas,
just angry on cocaine all pro not liked, you know,
just in black rain, running around Japan getting pissed off

(56:13):
taking it.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
The sequel to Jewel of the Nile was, or was
Romance in the Stone? Was Jewel of the Nile? Remember that?

Speaker 10 (56:21):
And the song was by Billy Ocean Romance in the
Stone that never Leave Me Alone Taking It?

Speaker 4 (56:30):
You get that look in this, You get that that
facial expression, that looking it.

Speaker 10 (56:34):
I mean, look, we all remember we all remember the
scene in Basic instin where he ripped off poor Jeanie
triple horns g string taking it.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
But uh, anyway, Lebron James, all.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
Right, Okay, there we go back to the point.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
I think what happened.

Speaker 6 (56:51):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
And I'm not the only one to say this.

Speaker 10 (56:54):
My radio partners the first one to mention it, and
it made sense to me was it's just feels like
they offer the Lebron people tried to get ahead of
the new ownership and get a new deal and get
some more years on his deal, and they told him no.

(57:14):
So then Lebron had to release that really weird statement
through shams to.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
To the.

Speaker 10 (57:24):
What wasn't about the oh, just yeah, the Lakers know
that this is important and we've got to keep an
eye on the.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Right, like it's an amazing thing.

Speaker 10 (57:35):
Like basically Lebron saying I have my contract is crippling
to any franchise and no one will take it. So
I'm going to use this contract to cripple you, but
I'm also going to hold you accountable for your bad
roster that exists because of my bad contract. So it

(57:57):
could be winding down. But I do think we're going
to have another year of struggling with the King. But
I don't think that the Uh, I don't think that
he is the Lakers priority anymore. And I think that
was very very obvious to everybody when he was when
Luka Doncies showed up. So when that trade happened, I

(58:19):
think it was pretty obvious to everybody that the Lakers
are are are a Luca team and no longer a
Lebron team. So everything else that you hear out of
the Lebron people are like the death spasms of his
relevance in the city, which I hope is ending.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
So his did it's just still moving.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a death rattle. But I
don't think.

Speaker 10 (58:43):
I don't think they can get rid of him, right,
I mean without getting in all the NBA loophole bs
that everybody sits there.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
And what does that mean for Bronnie?

Speaker 3 (58:52):
That's a great question. You know, what does it mean
for Bronnie?

Speaker 5 (58:57):
You know?

Speaker 3 (58:58):
And what does it mean?

Speaker 10 (59:00):
Oh, Eddie Grant sings Romance in the Stone? I'm sorry, guys,
All right, corrections and retractions. Do you guys know who
Eddie Grant is? I do not Electric Avenue, I do
I know who that We're going a rock down to
the kind of a one hit wonder reggae star. And

(59:22):
then but it's funny any he opened a studio somewhere
in the Bahamas or somewhere in the Caribbean, not Jamaica.
He opened a studio, a recording studio where a lot
of really famous albums ended up being recorded. Eddie Grant,
he's the guy that sang the Romance in the Stone song,
which I don't ever believe made it into the actual movie.

(59:43):
It was only in the trailer.

Speaker 6 (59:46):
H Petris, you got any special plans from fourth of July.
It's a Friday, so you're gonna get all banged up
and light off some piccolo pets with the neighbors or
what no.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
I mean?

Speaker 10 (59:57):
I like sam Pedro is a is a where town
I grew up in and around uh is uh is
pretty good for fireworks, where like everybody on the street
has their own mortars and stuff, and it's like Vietnam,
you know, like block by block it gets really and
some Pedro's that way, Wilmington's that way, Harbor City is that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Way, Lamita is that way.

Speaker 10 (01:00:22):
You know, all the way up through the city and
then all the way up through the gateway cities between
Orange County and LA like Paramount and Compton and Downey
and Cerritos and Lamarada. I mean they all I mean,
every single block has their own iron dome in Israel,

(01:00:44):
you know they just I mean, it's it's fireworks are
illegal and everybody has firewa It's you know, it's like Jamaica.
Guns are illegal and everybody's got a gun. So it is, yeah,
a chopper. Uh and and so it's it's fun in
that regard because you get to higher ground, so to speak,

(01:01:06):
and you just watch the city explode. But it's also
like that when the Dodgers win. Yeah, an electric avenue,
no doubt about it. And you know every year somebody
loses a hand, like the Dodger guy, did.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
You give it?

Speaker 6 (01:01:22):
