(02:29):
The Way Tire buying should be how the hell we
feel in here on this Wednesday morning.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
It's first day of the last day ever of my
twins going to high school. So it was, uh, I
had a lot going on yesterday, man, just getting them ready,
getting them ready for today, and a lot of emotions
going into today. So feel good, feel good, But it's uh,

(02:54):
it's been quite draining, man.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Who handled it better? You or your wife?

Speaker 5 (03:02):
So so Layla had a fenderbender. It wasn't even a
fender bender. She got like kind of like t boned,
and yeah, somebody ran some lady ran a stoplight, a
red light and hit her. And she wants to so
badly go back to the first day of school. Her

(03:24):
nickname is Bug, like she's been the bugs from day
One's Bug. She's Bug, right, So we bought her a
red bug, a convertible bug. So she has her bug
all summer and ends up getting hit right before school.

(03:45):
And I guess this is a big thing, right, Like
she's like the captain cheerleader of the team and all
this stuff, and she's not going to be able to
go to school on the first day of her senior
year with the bug mobile, right. So that was like
a thing, you know, like having to talk through that,

(04:07):
and the disappointment of that, but just knowing that, you know,
I mean, you have one though, you know it's going
to get fixed, you'll get it back. And and she
she like she felt a little traumatic, you know, a
little trauma or whatever from from it happening. And and
so it's kind of like she's like now kind of

(04:28):
nervous about stop lights. I said, I hate to say it,
but at the the you know, at the expense of
your your I guess comfort, at least now you know,
to not just assume you should just go through the
light right from here on out. You now you know
stop signs, I said, I don't know of it. It

(04:51):
could have happened in some strange happenstance, but I've never
heard of a stop light or a stop sign or
a yield sign, you know, taking someone's life.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Never heard of it. I said.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
It's the people who don't see that stop signs, see
the stop lights, see the yield signs. They're the ones
that create those accidents. And you got to make sure
you're not one of those people. You got to always
see what's going on. And but you got to always
make sure you're checking to make sure nobody is going
through the light. Even I've seen it a lot out here,

(05:26):
like California is some of the worst fricking drivers. Like,
I think it's what it is is. I think it's
just a lack of caring. What I see a lot
of times is this this like this entitled type of mentality,
and and like people don't care. They really don't care,
Like they will drive in front of you, they will

(05:47):
drive and cut you off.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I see people dart around each other on the freeway
leaving the studio here.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
That it's pretty wild.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
We're talking like one hundred miles an hour, like darting
through construction trucks and all like just to get to her.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
I'm like, damn, man, it's pretty wild the way some
people drive around here. Man, I've seen some pretty bad
driving in my life, but by far, Californian's like the
way some of these people drive, it's it's pretty it's
scary to put a new driver out here on the road.
But anyway, I digress to get to the back to
the point. She's not going to school with her her car.

(06:23):
She she's aware, like she's thankful for her health and
knows that she's you know, privileged and all those things.
So there's a good message that came from it. But nonetheless,
it's a seventeen year old teenager who's the cheerleading captain
and miss popularity and hasn't always been popular and now
is and all this whole other stuff. So there was

(06:43):
the idea of dealing with the emotional gymnastics of that.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
And then you got.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Man Man who is like, you know, probably just stop
sucking his thumb maybe like five years ago, you know,
and he goes from being like this little underdeveloped kid too,
like this crazy, crazy ass football player overnight, you know,
straight a student plays ball. Well they're both going to

(07:11):
graduate early and go and roll into Penn State. It's
just it's a lot. It's been a lot. So yeah,
but I'm here, you know, and take the day off
or anything, no late scratches or anything.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh, we appreciate it, you know, I mean, listen, that's
you know, and it's unfortunate the I've been t boned
in an accident myself. First concert ever played in with
my band. We drove through an intersection, got annihilated. Driver's
side everything. Thank god, I was driving a seventy nine
Cadillac Seville Okay still still yeah, nicknamed the Zombie because

(07:51):
that Honda Civic war it so yeah it was. But
those and those are scary moments. But at least she's
at least she's saved.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Man.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Man is going to be rocking and rolling here on
the field soon and and everybody is fired up and ready.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I got to come to a game this year, man,
like the show. You guys got to come to a game.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
VIP treatment and uh by the hour. Like so let
me contact, you know, my representatives and see whether or
not I can, you know, figure that out. Yeah, but appearance,
got a little paid appearance?

Speaker 4 (08:24):
All right?

Speaker 1 (08:25):
How about this paid appearance Brandon Ayuk?

Speaker 6 (08:30):
Now because Brady, Yeah, this is one of the things
that Brady is uh worn completely thin with the brand
on a Ayuk topic throughout the course of the off season.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
It is drug on. It is drug on. And let
me tell you something, I'll just spoiler alert. I will
figure out a way to work it in tomorrow when
he comes back. All right, Like, because the Brandon age story,
Brady Quinn is going to get that wark when it
comes to that story when he returns. But Brandon Ayuk,
according to Ian Rappaford of the NFL Network, the Steelers

(09:04):
and Niners have the parameters of a deal in place
for Ayuk, but he's molling over a contract offer from
San Francisco as well.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
It is I'm sure he is.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
This screams to me of Brandon Ayuk really doesn't want
to leave San Francisco. He really wants to stay.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Who said that before? Well, I mean I said.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
That both sides want him to stay. Yes, but at
some point there has to be an understanding of what
his market value is, and I think that that's more
for his agent and Brandon Ayut rather than the forty
nine Ers or the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
If you're San fran if you're Kyle Shannan and you're
John Lynch specifically, aren't you looking at this going We're good,
Like listen, like, you know what's out there, you know
what your options are. It's down to two. Here's the
offer that's on the table. We know you don't want
to leave. Otherwise you would have accepted either the deal
to the Browns or this one to the Steelers already, Like,

(10:06):
we know you don't want to leave, So we'll just
wait this thing out and then a deal gets done
before the season. That's what it feels like to me.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
All Right, here's what I feel.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
And maybe I'm wrong, but I certainly think I'm right.
There's the chance, if they have the parameters of a
deal in place, Brandon Ayuk's agent would probably want to
know what the deal point is for the extension or
new deal to Brandon Ayuk that would come from the Steelers.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Is that feasible?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah? That My understanding is that there's also been conversations
about an extension with Pittsburgh as well too.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Okay, so with that conversation being being had, he is
now understanding that entertaining the deal from San Francisco is
probably more advantageous to him in the end. And now
he gets a comparable because I can guarantee you. I mean,

(11:11):
we spoke to Plexico about this on on Saturday and.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Just asked, how feasible is it.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
To think that Brandon I Yuk as a free agent
or not as a free agent, but as a trade
person to the Steelers would get a deal that's up
there like the ones you know, near well, not kind
of kind of close to justin Jefferson, because I don't

(11:40):
see it Justin Jefferson deal getting done anywhere, but kind
of close to Justin Jefferson, so like that next tier
guys that just got paid, Like I'm and Rod those guys.
And he said it's highly unlikely, It's highly unlikely, and
I agree. I agree, it's highly unlikely that the Pittsburgh

(12:02):
Steelers will offer a large, large, amazing amount of money
to Brandon Nayuk. And if they were to, if it
did surface that the Pittsburgh Steelers are offering that type
of money to Brandon Ayuke, first I would be I
would be tremendously intrigued by what it is that the

(12:25):
Steelers are willing to do, because I doubt they're willing
to part ways with Pickens.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
I doubt that.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
And I said, I made the point, is it a
possibility that you would deal Justin Fields?

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Could that be a possibility?

Speaker 5 (12:43):
And while that possibly possibly could be a possibility, why
would you do it?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Why would you do it?

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Why would San Francisco bring in Justin Fields to Sad
Frand at this point in time, why would you do it?
Unless you felt as though Brock Purdy could struggle or
could get hurt. I mean, unless you felt that way.
But then it still remains how much do you have
to pay in order to get Brandon Ayuk up and

(13:15):
running in Pittsburgh. And I don't think all of those
elements fall in line. At in Pittsburgh. There's not going
to get a There's not going to be a deal
in Pittsburgh if I'm a betting man, and so if
I'm Brandon Ayuk and I'm Brandon Ayuk's agent, of course
it comes back to your original point. San Fran sitting
right there, like, hey man, this thing is playing out

(13:37):
and playing out. Coach Shanahan, he's getting more tired of it,
more tired of it. Brady Quinn, he's getting tired of
talking about it. They're getting tired of it talking about
it in the media. It's just getting its turning into
a tired story. Are you ready to sign the deal
or not? Be a Are you ready to continue to
be a San Francisco forty nine or or not? And

(14:00):
he's now faced with a very very real situation because
the market is one team, and that one team is
one of the worst teams that could possibly be. If
he was thinking he was going to get at justin
Jefferson like contract.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
And Mike Garifolo of the NFL Network said basically what
we have said, and he reported most recently that Auk
would prefer to stay in San Francisco, that they've sent
proposals back and forth to each other, Brandon Ayu side
and the Niners, that the Niners numbers have gotten better
in recent days, and so now it's just sort of a.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Recent day since knowing what the Pittsburgh Steelers are offering,
I just, yeah, we'll give you one dollar more.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
I think this is we'll give you. We'll give you
one dollar more than what they're offering you in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, I think this is going to end up with
Ayuk stand in San Francisco, Like I just you know,
and they'll probably get a deal done. It'll come up
to the last minute. And my guess would be this
happens before the start of the season, and then we're
going to look back on this, like the Nick Bosas
signing and all the other ones that they've been able
to get done at the last minute and be like,
all right, this is just the way they operate, Like,

(15:07):
you know, they they let him.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Wait it out.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
See what else was out there. But the longer this
goes on, the more I feel like he doesn't want
to leave like like he would he would prefer to
stay there. That's why he rejected the Browns offer. That's
why he hasn't, you know, taken the Steelers offer if
he's really looking at net if they.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Really wanted to go, the Browns would have probably been
able to make it work the fact that they were
willing to And we haven't even got to the point
of talking about how does that impact Amari Cooper, you know,
knowing that he could have been on he was on
the trade block for Brandon Aiyuk. Yeah, but that was
the one that was a curious one because why would

(15:48):
he not why would he not want to go play
for Cleveland? Like I wouldn't say that Cleveland is like
maybe a better market than being insane, fran I don't know.
I've never been this San Francisco all like that. I visited,
but I've never lived there. But I've never lived in Cleveland.
But I do know that I could sit there and
say maybe I want to be on the West coast weatherwise,

(16:11):
even if you know it's northern California, versus being in Cleveland.
But if that's the case, then why are you trying
to get to Pittsburgh Because it's the same type of
weather there. So and if I'm looking at both of
these teams, wouldn't you say that Cleveland is the better
team out? Well maybe not at this point, but it's
debatable between which team is the better team.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Between Cleveland and Pittsburgh or sure all Cleveland. Yeah, I
think I think Cleveland's got a lot more to work
with there, but it's possible.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
I don't know that to be all the way factual,
but it's close enough of a debate where you shouldn't
sit there and say.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
I'm not going to go to Cleveland, Like why would
you say that?

Speaker 5 (16:51):
So I think it does lead back to what you're saying,
And it could also lead back to the point of
maybe maybe they heard what Cleveland was going to offer.
Maybe Brandon Ayuk and his agency had a conversation here's
the parameters of the deal. They got as far along
as saying what players would be and what draft picks

(17:12):
would be a part of the deal. Maybe they were
talking about what an extension would look like and it
wasn't enough money, so Brandon Ayuk turned it down.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
So now there's no more. There's no more.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
We're offering this to you as an extension to come
in and play. We're not going to deal with this
Hassan Reddick type of stuff that's going on. Here's what
we're going to offer you. Here's what you got to take.
Do you want to do the deal? That's what he's
heard from Cleveland most likely. That's what he's hearing from
Pittsburgh right now, most likely. And San Francisco's like perfect, perfect,

(17:47):
they're saying.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
He's saying.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Mike Garafalo said that the numbers might be improving. You
know what, maybe they had a number on the table
that was probably probably, you know, not to far off
from what he got offered from these other teams. And
will sweeten the deal just a little bit to make
you happy. Let's get this done and let's keep moving. Boom,
everything works out.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, So if anything happens during the course of this show,
we will break in with that. But that is the
latest on the Brandon Auk situation with the Niners. It
is two pros and a cup of Joe. Here on

Actually?

Speaker 4 (20:33):
You know what?

Speaker 8 (20:33):
Song?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
This does? Sound like the song from The Never Ending Story?
I love that movie. Does the bumps on that big
dog's back still make me sick to my stomach?

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Man?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Just based on his inability to clean his own skin,
I would have shot that thing out of the sky.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
They were bubbles, he was bubbly clean.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I would have had. I would have told that kid
to take the oracle off and get a rocket launcher
on his shoulder and shoot that rat out of the sky.
Clean your skin. Guy's got leprosy on his back, especially
a kid's movie.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Well, at least it was a white dog.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
You know, they should have that's true. Racist, they should hey,
they should have had that thing get sucked down and
quick saying not the horse tang.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
That was a white horse.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, why that was going to be white tang.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
They was off and y'all what a.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, y'all gott it that movie.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
Y'all was gidding. We gotta see who the director that flicked.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
We wish it was a never ending story.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
That little boy was alone a long time in that library.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
By the way, he.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
Read very well though his imagination was vivid as hell,
wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Sure was. He had a rock that was a turtle.
What a weird movie.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
But when the horse died, that was just the most
traumatizing thing.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Trauma.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
You know what, rewrite the get him a snorkel, all right.
If you can't figure that out, then that's his problem.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
How could you not pull the horse out? Though, that's
all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
It was like it was a tar pit.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
I don't even care.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
Y'all remember that Yeah, the big ass turtle.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I was asking the turtle questions.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
I don't care that turtle had COVID. He kept sneezing.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
The that was.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Patient zero in COVID. That turtle was blowing everybody down
with snot rockets.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
No one of that horse died.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
No, it wasn't like that.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, that did that giant rock.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
That a rock du Yeah. Look at these hands. Look
at these big strong hands, big a dale.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (23:13):

The way tire buying should be coming up in about
fifteen minutes from now. We're gonna tell you about what's
what is seemingly a terrible idea by one NFL quarterback

(23:58):
that'll be yours here fifteen minutes from now. So the Minnesota,
the Minnesota Vikings have a little bit of a problem.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah, they do.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
JJ McCarthy, who looked pretty damn good in his preseason
debut from Minnesota over the weekend, he suffered a torn
meniscus and his right knee in that game against the Raiders.
His return time is to be determined because if they
trim the meniscus when they do the procedure, he'll be

(24:29):
out a few weeks.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, it's a few weeks, and you gotta be careful.
That's kind of what started the end of my career,
well the ending of it.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
And they said, if it's a repair, that it may
be twenty twenty five before we see him. So they're
gonna find out more when they actually go into the nine.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yeah, rushing back off of even just trimming it can't
rushing back. You got to make sure that thing is
held up, that the quad and the leg is strong again,
and that he's stable, you know, with that leg, because
he could re injure it if he comes back too soon,

(25:06):
and that like the setbacks of it could be you know,
brutal is what I'll say.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
keV, that's not nothing to play with.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Kevin O'Connell, the head coach of the Vikings, spoke about
the decision to go under the knife for Will Levis
the injury and also what this means.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
For saym JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Oh yeah, I'm sorry for JJ McCarthy, and also.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Will Is man at yo that's Mayo, you know.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, we'll get to that cot up later. But here
was the coach of the Vikings talking about their quarterback situation.

Speaker 8 (25:34):
You know, as we talked about yesterday coming in with
some soreness a couple of days after the game. I
credit JJ for obviously being able to continue to play.
He did not come out of the game from the injury.
We don't know the severity yet, and that is honestly
where we're at right now, and I think we're hopefully
having a shorter timeline than a longer timeline. But the

(25:57):
potential severity will come when we do that procedure. And
you know, Sam's had a really good camp. At my
confidence level and Sam is very very high at this
point and looking forward to seeing him continue his progression.
And I know his teammates and the rest of the
coaching staff have been really enthused by what Sam's done.
And like I said, my confidence level is really high

(26:18):
in Sam.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Sam Darnold. I am curious to see with a full
like a real chance with a team that's got you know,
real talent around him, like a Justin Jefferson what that
looks like. But that sucks for JJ McCarthy man like
first game, torn meniscus and potentially out for a lengthy
amount of time.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
That sucks.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
I think if there was any quarterback that we would
say as a backup, there would be two names that
would jump out at you and say you know what, well,
maybe three names that jump out, but really more so
too in terms of like really really having shown that
they could possibly lead the team. Would probably be Jameis Winston.

(27:01):
Another name would probably be Sam Donald. He's kind of
an enigma almost like you just really not sure exactly
you know what it is you're going to get because
there's still so much potential that you maybe have not

(27:21):
seen realized from him. And some of it has to
do with him, some of it doesn't have to do
with him. Some of it was circumstantial, some of it
was self imposed. Do I look at Sam Donald as
the guy? First off? I thought that JJ McCarthy would

(27:43):
eventually overtake the position during the year.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
I've said that on the show.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
I thought it was a foregone conclusion that JJ McCarthy
is probably in one of the better situations as a
rookie quarterback than some of the other guys that got
drafted as as first round quarterbacks in this heavy, heavy
quarterback draft year. And now you don't you don't have

(28:11):
that availability for the first part of the season. I
think that this is going to be a tremendous opportunity
for Sam Darnold to if there were any moment in
time with a team that in coaching that could actually
elevate him and rejuvenate his career and all, you know,

(28:36):
all intensive purposes, I think this would be the situation.
And so if he's going to be what he needs
to be in this scenario, this is probably you gotta
believe his best chance and his last chance to be
a starting quarterback or prove that he is the starting
quarterback caliber for when JJ McCarthy comes back. Is it

(29:01):
now a debate as to what you do with Sam
Donald in Minnesota, or does does he move on to
a greener pastor after this season after having a strong year.
I mean, you look at what happened with Geno Smith
in Seattle. You know, this could be one of those

(29:23):
situations where you know, he has he has a really,
really fine year, and it makes it hard for JJ
to get back into the fold once he comes back
from the injury. But I think that's all this all
riots on Sam Donald. It can't be based off of
circumstance anymore. He has to own the situation. He has

(29:44):
to own the moment and make the best of it,
because I do believe it's his last moment in time
to prove that he's a starter.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
I think there's a chance that Minnesota is going to
be bad this year. I think I think they're closer
to a rebuild than they are contending. And I think
they're by far way the worst team in that division.
And with Kirk Cousins gone, with daneille Hunter gone, I
look at this situation and I go, I wonder if
they're just kind of like, listen, we're hoping for the

(30:13):
best this year. We'll give Sam Darnold an opportunity. But
this is all about grooming JJ McCarthy to be the
quarterback of the future. Like I wonder if that's where
because it's not like JJ McCarthy was their first choice.
Albert Breer, we spoke with him and he said, you know,
as far as like where the quarterbacks ranked in the
draft class, like McCarthy was, I think fourth on the

(30:35):
Cardinals wish list as far as guys that they were
hoping to be available when they had an opportunity to
draft somebody. I just I think that decision and look,
Kirk Cousins regrets it. I think Kevin O'Connell would have
done it differently if it was his way. He would
love to have Kirk Cousins back Hunter leaving. I just

(30:55):
think in that division, I'm pretty optimistic about everybody else,
especially in Detroit. I think Minnesota is going to be
on the outside looking in. It seems pretty clear cut.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Well it could. I feel like it could go either way.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
I feel like looking at the NFC North, the only
clear cut team in my estimation that is really like
should be considered the front runner in the division is
the Detroit Lions. I really am not one hundred percent

(31:31):
certain what I'm going to get from from green Bay.
I'm not certain. I'm not one hundred percent certain what
we're going to get from Chicago. I'm just not certain. Now,
we can have high expectations all we want for what
we've seen Caleb do. People can talk it up as
much as they want to talk it up, but until
we see what he's capable of doing against real scheme,

(31:56):
schemed up plans, game plans against him and this team,
you're not going to know what this Chicago Bears team
is capable of doing. And the same goes for Minnesota.
The only team that I'm confident that can handle what's
coming their way would be the Detroit Lions. I would

(32:18):
not be surprised if Green Bay has an average to
just above average year. I wouldn't be surprised if the
Bears or Minnesota had an average to just above average year.
So with that being said, I think it still aligns
for Minnesota to have just as much an opportunity to

(32:42):
do what they need to do as it does the
other other teams that are in the division that they're in.

Speaker 9 (34:38):
He you know, in his college days, he made quite
the name for himself, of course, eating a banana with
appeal still attached, intact nasty and then squirting some mayonnaise
into his coffee. I don't know if you remember that
or not.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
You remember Jeff Schwartz or or Rich Ornberger. Somebody tried
it on on live radio. They put mayonnaise in their.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Coffee, probably Rich.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
I watched this Salmage man, Yeah, Brown almost threw up
watching him do it. By the way, anyways, go ahead, Ley.

Speaker 9 (35:07):

his new mayonnaise Perfume Date Mayonnaise.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Take a listen.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
They tried to define you, but you are the ingredient
to your own success.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Washes heck smell like greatness. Bill letis number eight part
from the Mayonnaise. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
It's mayonnaise, frank.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Yes, that is it real? Is this real? No? I
doubt it.

Speaker 9 (36:04):
I don't think it's really real.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Are you sure? Because I think you can, like, for
eight dollars, you can get a bottle of them. Yeah,
you're right. And it says that it boasts a sensual
musk bass complimented by notes of lemon, parsley, vanilla, and coffee.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
I think that's pretty awesome.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
I have a call today with a major, major, big
brewery refinery today too. We're going to actually work to
launch LeVar Islands.

it's coming up with the name.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Yeah, man, does he have to have ameretto? Well, we're
going to discuss that.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
But they did a taste testing last week and loved
it and they're like they definitely want to do it.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
So, I mean that sounds tasty. Mayonnaise cologne sounds disgusting.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Yeah, but I.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
Think it's just like anything, like it's the novelty of it,
you know, like it's the novelty like you branded the
will Levis. Somebody messes around, laughs about it, tries and like, wait,
hold on, why the f does this actually smell pretty good?
It's just to me. I think it's great marketing. Yeah, well,
I think so.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Everybody wants to smell decent once in a while. Just
find you a ross dress for less and go look
for a bottle of mambo.
