Two Pros and a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up on
this football Friday, we are going to talk football, and
we're going to talk fireworks in football because apparently not
everybody has learned their lesson in the NFL. We're also
going to talk about somebody who feels a certain kind
of way about a move that was made that changed
the course of their career. And yes it's a quarterback.
(00:22):
We've got the very latest on another pass rusher looking
to get paid. Lee to Laps got major bubble guts,
and we're going to explain why it's his own doing.
We're also going to have a conversation about back of
shorts or are they biker shorts. Plus, we've got another
edition of In case you missed it. We've got a
new buzz back in the NBA. Pete Prisco stops by,
(00:44):
and we've got Lee's leftovers. It's all yours coming up

Speaker 2 (00:54):

am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific here on two pros
and a cup of Joe.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
What up?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Sticks? People coming after you a get on social media?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Or what?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
They come after you? Yeah, I don't get at it, really.
I just look at yours. But I love trolling them,
like when I when I want violence, I love looking
at your page because I can find the I can
find my perfect recipients of me going after going after people.
(02:38):
I attack people on social media. There's good soil usually
and they're usually on your page.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
There's there's good soil there if you want to.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, I mean super fertile all over all around the.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Bottom of the barrel of society when it comes to
social media. Yeah, that is, that is very very fertile.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You have some good people though, You have some good
people that follow you, some real, real loyal people to
your craft, loyal people, gracious people. You know. It's how
it's it's funny how people aren't gracious. You know, they're
they're just not you know, they're just not cool people.
They're just douchebags, you know. And it's, uh, it's okay
(03:22):
because when I want to when I want to release,
I just troll your trollers. Did you see some of
my latest stuff. It's really good.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I did see. I caught a glimpse of Briefly, I
think you went your mom on.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So it's always the mom because the mom hurts because
because moms and wives and girlfriends they should be off limits.
But I'm a real troll. I'm a real troll, the troller.
So I've lately I've been attacking moms. Yeah. Yeah, So
if you say, if you say, you know, Jonas and
(03:59):
laval or they freaking suck, I'd be like, you know what,
your mom sucks? What do you mean by that? Yeah,
I mean it's exactly what do they mean by it
because we don't suck. But I just figure, I throw
your mom in there and it's going to get the
It's a trolling mechanism. It's just always worked, and I
(04:21):
like it. I like doing it to your fans. I mean, look,
that's all they are. They're your fans. I mean every
time you get the same person saying the show is unlistenable,
you do know your dumb ass is listening to the
show to be able to say the show is unlistenable. Correctly,
you're a dumb ass for saying it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Which makes the whole exercise very bizarre.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I enjoy it, though, the exercise of taking the time
to go on to the platform at you or or
look at the message from Fox Sports Radio or from
Jonas Knox talking about the show, and then you write
it like you writing like this show was so unlistenable.
You're listening, douche man, nephew, you're listening? Do you not?
(05:07):
Do you not capture the logic and and what it
is that's taking place you're listening to the show. Wow,
right there you go listen. Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I think that the lesson has learned here. Unfortunately, not
everybody learns lessons.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So I had started to hear rumblings about this in
recent days, started to hear over the past couple of days, like,
you know, is there any validity to this, because there's
been some things out there about you know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
This is all on you too. By the way, this is.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
All on you, not not no, it is not not this.
So there's been some some rumblings that maybe chargers running
back nausea hair has had a little bit of an
issue pop up on fourth of July. And by issue,
I mean you know, may have tried to light off
or been with people who tried to light off some
(06:02):
fireworks also known as explosives for anybody that's that's curious,
and there might have been some things that had gone
sideways a little bit. According to Naja Harris's agent, Doug Hendrickson,
he sent out the following quote. Naji Harris was present
at a Fourth of July event where a fireworks mishap
(06:24):
resulted in injuries to several attendees. Nase sustained a superficial
eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to
be ready for the upcoming NFL season. That according again
to Najia Harris's agent, now further details on this. Apparently
(06:45):
the injuries were real. Apparently according to his agent, He
said the mishap resulted to injuries to several attendees and
one person, according to ESPN, was hospitalized after he lost
fingers in the accident in Antioch, California. The San Francisco
Chronicle reported, citing the police on that. So listen, man,
(07:10):
we you and I talked about it on Monday, because
it never fails. It never fails. It's going to happen
every single year. And we mentioned Jason Pierre Paul, and
we mentioned all these other things that we've seen of
these amateurs lighting off fireworks and things going sideways, and
(07:31):
we kind of threw it out there, this isn't gonna
happen to anybody else in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Again, right, I mean, like it happens too often.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It's like break the cycle.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It's just insane. So now the Chargers have a running
back who's a cyclops because he wanted to go out
there and get on the set of back Draft and
light off a bunch of Roman candles. When do we
do it here? Dude literally just signed a deal. See,
he's going to be bad like if this doesn't go
well for Nausea Harrison with the Chargers, you start to
(08:07):
look at it and go, all right, well, then he's
just going to become a journeyman running back based on
the one year deal and and and all this stuff
that came out and now he's got and what the
hell is a superficial eye injury? Anything near the eye,
it should be should be questioned at all times.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It's superficial. I'm assuming it's just he's like skin like
a like brush burned type of of injuries. It's not
it's not below the surface, it's not a deeper like
a deep gash that would or a deep burn. It's superficial.
So it's not it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's not that bad, but an avoidable eye injury, one
that could have been avoided, and one that was a
fraction of an inch probably from costing this guy a lot,
not just not just career wise, whole change of lifestyle
like that. I don't get it. I'm sorry, I don't understand.
(09:06):
I don't get the appeal. I don't I don't understand it.
I don't know, you don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I really have nothing for you on why that would
be something that you know an athlete would still do.
It does not to me. Like I said, it's never
been something I've been into anyway, so I really really
don't understand it. I've never I've never seen a firework
(09:37):
go off up close, to be honest, never seen it
because I won't get close enough to fireworks because of
what they do in the air by the way I see.
I see what they do once they you know, once
they do what they're supposed to do, I don't want
to be close to that. I like watching them, but
(09:59):
from a safe distance. I don't understand why guys can't
grasp that concept. And a lot of you know, I'm
sure a lot of guys will say I grew up
in that, and it gives them a level of being
able to hold on to something from their childhood and
stuff like that might have been a part of you know,
their neighborhood or a family deal, whatever it may be.
(10:22):
Some people that's just that's their deal. So I'm not judging.
But I still would say go down a different lane,
even if that was something you did as a kid,
even if it's something that your family did or you
did with your granddad or your uncle or whatever it
may be, like, do something different, man, because it's just
not worth the risk. It's not worth the risk.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's bizarre. And by the way it is, you didn't
need to explain that you've never lit a firework or
seen one up closed, because I already knew that, considering
the fact that you're still here, like I already know
that that would be the dead giveaway.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Like anybody will say this, I do have a burn
on my face, though I have a superficial burn on
my face. And I I used to sleep with candles,
like weird. I know that would be probably your thing
as a vampire.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
This is the lost boys.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I like scented candles, and for some reason I used
to like I used to like a whole bunch of them.
Like I go to bath and body works or whatever,
and I would get scented, uh, you know, candles. And
one night my pillow hit one of the candles and
(11:37):
it caught on fire. Bro and and I had a night.
It was a night, I will say, I will admit
it was a night of drinking. I was hanging, I
was having a good time, not alone, and fell asleep
and the pillow hit the candle and I'm like thinking
in my sleep that I'm laying in a fire, and
(12:02):
so it woke me up and made me feel like
I'm burning, And it was really it was really a
guy named pillow on fire. I started trying to blow
it out. That's how fried I was. I was trying
to blow it out. All I had to do was
throw the blanket over. It would have been good, but
(12:22):
you know, I burnt my face. The cotton came up
out of the pillow. It burnt my face and there
you go.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So, now, how many candles were you in, keeper Sutherland
laying next to when your pillow case caught on fire.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It would have been at least it would have at
least been like fifteen or so twenty.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
All this time, all this time, I'm the vampire, and
You've got to burn on your face from a candle
you were sleeping next to.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
So maybe that's how you're able to identify vampires as
quickly as you are. Now you don't do that anymore, correct,
little sister, I burned my face.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Pray no, I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's it's just a it's just another tale of people
not learning their lesson. By the way, I would recommend
this anybody out there. Candles can be very expensive. You
go to Away Home Goods or someplace like that, half
the price, and always smell the lid, all right, when
you buy the candle, smell underneath the lids and you
(13:44):
get the true sense of the burn came back.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Have you ever watched Everybody Hates Chris No. My daughter
pit wanted to watch it yesterday and I was like,
you know, it's an older show. It has like teary
cruise in it. Chris Rock, Chris Rock narrates it. You
gotta watch it. Bro. You sound like Terry Crews in
(14:10):
a lot of ways. In real life, you're like the
real life Terry Crews. He is cheap as hell. Damn
he's so cheap.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
What did I do?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
He goes through the trash, He's like, he looks at
half eating chicken. He's like, oh my gosh, thirty nine
cents worth of meat left.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Okay, that's Rob Parker.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Okay, okay, okay, that's fair. That's that's fair. That's fair.
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Rob Parker sent me a text two days ago and
he wanted to point it out to me that he
caught a flight from Houston to New Orleans, or vice versa,
that he found a flight on Spirit Airlines for twenty
four dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And I told him, I'm like, Rob, you're gonna be
sitting on the wing face big top under the plane,
that's under the it costs more to fly.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I'm in the belly of the plane twenty four dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Twenty four dollars? Did I do that? By the way,
any twenty four dollar flight should be questioned, like, what
is on that twenty four dollar flight?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah? I mean maybe you.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Could find Nagiers's eyeball on that twenty four dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Oh god, saying he was watching the show. They were
watching the prices right, and he was like, come on,
come on. They were like in a new dishwasher. He
was like, four hundred and thirty dollars right, The person
said four hundred dollars a one, and his wife was like,
how did you know that? He was like, whoa, it's
(15:44):
four hundred thirty dollars. She's like, why wouldn't we have it.
It's like, it's four hundred and thirty dollars. We don't
even have a dishwasher. That's how I know it's four
hundred and thirty dollars was abo.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It Chris Rock the guy he played a character. I
think it was in in Living Color where he was
always trying to bargain for a for a better deal.
I think it was that show to where somebody would be.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Chris, and I don't think he was in a living color.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
He did a character on some show to where like.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'm gonna get you sucker. He wanted he wanted a
rib where he wanted to get he wanted to get
food where they're like, that might be the one I
think where.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
He goes he walked up to somebody goes how much
for a bag of Cheetos? And they're like three dollars?
He goes, he goes, how about I give you a
dollar twenty five? And uh and and you let me
lick the red off your fingers.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, I don't remember what that one is. A Rock
he did do that bit and I'm gonna get you sucker,
and it was he went to a rib shack and
it was Isaac Hayes and Jim Brown's rib shack and
he was like, how much for a rack of ribs?
He was like, ah, that's too much, too much? How
(16:57):
much for just one rib? No, I mean just one rib.
He's like, you could pour it a drink in my hands,
and then he pulled out a big ass water money
to pay for it. As a case was like, I
would kill you get out of here anyway.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
How much?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It's a good show man, a good show bro.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I'm telling you, yeah, I mean listen that that all
the like? Watching those shows sounds like a better idea
than you know, lighting off Pyro on the fourth of
July and jeopardizing your career?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Lee?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Do we have this Chris Rock clip?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
What do we what do we like?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
What do we got here? All right, let's let's take
a listen.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
How much for older ribs?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
How really do I get with that? About five five?
So I guess that's about.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, let me get one right on? I just won't rib,
won't ri rib? I sure am hungry? Uh make that
one rib to go?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
One rib?

got buried in the lead. I hope he's okay. Hope
he recovers well. And and listen, man, stay away from
the fireworks. I would say this, Let somebody else do that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I would say this, he's gotten the head start because
for Halloween he can just be a minion, now you
know that just saying I'm just saying, like I'm trying
to find the positives of this stuff because people aren't
being smart about lighting off Pyro. By the way, you

Com The way tire buying should be So. Jared Goff
(23:11):
is the latest quarterback to have quotes and comments off
the Netflix show Quarterback that are starting to make the rounds.
Here was the current Lions quarterback talking about how the
trade went down and his issue with the Rams handling
of his deal to Detroit a few years back.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
So twenty twenty season happens three weeks after the last
game of the season. Get a call from Sean and
really did not expect anything. He lets me know, you know,
they're trading me to Detroit. And I'm kind of like, oh, well, okay, right,
what the hell? You know what's happening? And I would
say about thirty seconds after that phone call.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
It was on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
You feel like you've been betrayed or like you're not wanted,
And I think for me, ultimately it was the fact
that there wasn't a conversation had and that there wasn't
like a hey, we're thinking about moving on type of thing.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
There was nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
You know, you wish that it wasn't such a blind side,
and you wish that there was some sort of maturity
I guess to have that conversation and to be able
to let me know what's going on and how things
went down and why this is happening. That was my
first real taste of true adversity and your career is
kind of at a fork.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
In the road.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
So that was Jared Goff of the Lions discussing the
trade from the La Rams years ago on Netflix's show
The Quarterback.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
So quarterbacks they must have an alternate reality than than
other players. I mean, it's just it's interesting. We just
were talking about Kirk Cousins and how he felt like
he was misled. I mean, they all just sound like
a bunch of soft mother efforts. Man. Yeah, listen, I
(24:56):
can understand what Jared Goff is saying here, but again,
this is this is business. This is business, and you
can throw out there there should be a level of
maturity and different things like that. It must be a
different level of communication and and entitlements for for quarterbacks,
(25:21):
because I mean, it seems like every time I hear
a conversation coming from them, it it represents something that
you would expect if if you have the courtesy of
the back and forth, like they didn't. I felt like
I wasn't wanted. They didn't want you. That's why they
(25:42):
traded you. You know, if they wanted you, you wouldn't
be traded. So you felt like what that that you
were blindsided by it. That happens to players every single day.
And it's not it's not an interview. It's not on
a Netflix special. It's not on Fox Sports or or
(26:05):
or ESPN. It's not it's not anywhere. Really, it's just
you see it. It's a head or it's not even headline.
Is it's just there, right. Transactions they're called go go
look at transactions on online NFL transactions. You'll see a
whole bunch of stuff taking place. Those are people, Those
(26:27):
are people. That's that's that's not currency. Or anything like that.
It's those those transactions that you're looking at. Those are
actually real, living, breathing people. They have families, wives, kids,
you name it, girlfriends, all that stuff. They're people, and
(26:49):
this isn't this is generally only a conversation when quarterbacks
are involved. It really is like every once in a
while you have a legendary place and it'll be a
different position, but it just doesn't hit the same. I
just feel like maybe maybe the rules of engagement surrounding
(27:11):
quarterbacks is much different than it is for the rest
of the players on the team.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I would say for Jared Goff, who's discussing how he
wished things would have been handled differently, look, Sean McVay
admits to the same thing as well too. He said
it multiple times. Wish I could have gone back and
handled that better. I would say, though, it worked out
better for everybody involved, because Jared Goff went to Detroit
(27:41):
and what they thought was basically sort of a salary
dump type deal. Right, we'll take on the salary, but
it's really because we're, you know, trying to build, and
all of a sudden they found lightning in a bottle
and he's completely revitalized his career. They've completely revitalized that franchise.
It was the perfect storm of events that got him there,
(28:01):
And you can argue playing the best football of his
career outside of Sean McVay with Ben Johnson and Company
in Detroit. And so you look at the Rams side
and Matt Stafford came in and they won a Super Bowl,
and yeah, there's been times where you could compare the
two and say, well, look, man like Jared Goff's had
better numbers at certain points in Matthew Stafford, he's played
(28:23):
better football at a higher level. They've met in the playoffs,
and Jared Goff got the better.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Of him there.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I just look at it and I go at the time,
I could understand the complaint, but also you couldn't have
been that blindsided by it because the writing was on
the wall and anybody that was in town here can
tell you that man Jared Goff was dealing with a
little bit of a He had an issue or an
injury going into a playoff game in Seattle his final
(28:50):
year there, and Sean McVay made the decision to start
John Wofford in a playoff game as opposed to Jared Goff.
Wafford gets hurt early, might have been even pregame or
first play the game. Goff comes in and they win
that game, and he actually played, and they played pretty
well on the road at Green Bay the following week,
and Aaron Donald had an injury and all that. But
(29:12):
you had heard some stuff come out about man Sean
McVay and Jared Goff aren't getting along. Maybe this is
the end of the road, Maybe they go their separate ways.
All of a sudden, Matthew Stafford becomes available, Detroit's going
full rebuild, and then the move happens in real time.
I could understand. Yeah, I wish it would have been
handled differently, probably made it worse that they went and
(29:33):
won a Super Bowl the very next year, But damn
if you look back, it worked out well for everybody involved.
Everybody came out of that clean and everybody came out
better for it. And I think Jared Goff should realize
he was never going to be embraced by the La
RAM fan base like he's been embraced by Detroit. That
(29:55):
was never gonna happen out here. They love that game
on if he won the Super Bowl and he was close,
he was close.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I just I get where he's coming from, but I
don't understand why he would, you know, I mean maybe
he does. I get why he would say it, And
I would be blindsided if we weren't having if I
didn't have a feeling up to getting traded that I
(30:24):
wasn't going to be there knowing how well the team
had been doing. They weren't doing bad. It was not
a bad team. And and there were there were rumblings,
there were conversations about if they could get Matthew Stafford.
That was coming out before it happened. That wasn't like
it popped up, I recall us. You know, people in
(30:46):
media were having conversations about the possibilities of that taking place.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Because the Lions can't because the Lion, because the Lions
finally made him available, because they were like, we're going rebuild,
we've tried, it's over, and they did them as soulid.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You can't be you cannot be surprised if something like
that happens. Like just rule number one advice, never be
so naive that you think that the franchise that you
play for doesn't at some point find you to be
(31:22):
expendable to their team. You have to understand it that way.
And that's why I get confused when when people are
so harsh in their judgments of players, like you burn
their jerseys or you call them traders or anything like that.
It's like, so team it's so team oriented, you know.
(31:48):
But the reality of it is is that the team
gets to do what they want to do with the players.
The players don't. The players are at the mercy of
the decision makers. So when a player decides to put
business over feelings of a relationship with an owner or
feelings in a relationship with a fan base, the ones
(32:13):
who choose to go that lane, you should not have
an issue with them. If they hold out for a
bigger contract and it's being released that they're difficult to
deal with or this one is difficult to negotiate with,
or their agent is difficult to negotiate with, you shouldn't
get upset. The business is playing out through the media.
(32:35):
They're using the media to have the fan fan base shame,
or the media to shame the athlete and their agent.
And the reality of it is is that the franchises
are going to do what they want to do, how
they're going to do it, and when they're going to
do it, and there generally is really no real repercussions
(32:58):
to it, even if you make is egregious a mistake
as letting a Saquon Barkley go from your team, Like
there have been such egregious situations where these things have
played out and you've seen it and there's really there's very,
very minimum fallout from it. But you let a player
(33:23):
pull a fast one on on an organization and they're
like public enemy number one. I just think that fans
have to understand in these situations, in these moments that
handling your business and putting business first is, whether unfortunate
or fortunate, however you look at it, it's the reality
of it. And I also think that players have to
(33:46):
look at it the same exact way. Do not look
at your your your employment with an organization as this
is about loyalty. It's unfortunate that it's not able to
be that, but it's not that. There may be a
rare instance here and there, but that is not in general,
(34:10):
that's not how the business of professional I'll speak on
football because I didn't play it professional any other sport,
but that is not the culture of professional football.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
It, and for that we turn it over to our
executive producer, Lea.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
Lapp A good Friday morning, everybody, Good morning Jonas, Good
morning LeVar, guys. In case you missed this, RG three
is at it again. Yesterday he rose. He raised a
lot of eyebrows with a lengthy post on x uh.
This is what basically boiled down to wel condemning racism
directed towards Angel Reese. RG three wrote, I have been
(36:00):
quiet on the Angel Reas front because she shared a
video that aided it in my wife, kids, and family
and friends receiving death threats, threats of physical harm, and
to my family and friends, threats of sexual violence.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
All that that will never be okay with me.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
I never attacked her or her family when I stated
and backed up with clear basketball evidence that she hates
Kaitlyn Clark. It's sports. Everybody won't like each other. People
in angels inner circle called me and told me I
was right about Angel Reaes and that Angel Reas has
grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always
asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her.
(36:35):
Angel Reese has since clapped back on social media, saying
he's clout chasing.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
Even her mom has come out backing.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Up sweet another WNBA story. YEA, nothing to do with
actual basketball. That's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. What a league
man can't get enough. I don't understand people that get
involved in these heavy beefs on social media. How do
you have to I am, how does anybody have time
(37:02):
for this craft? I don't know. I don't know. I
don't understand. And then and then people just salivate over it,
like they go, who's what's he gonna say to him?
And what's she gonna say back? It's like, dude, what are.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
We doing here?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I don't understand. What's the point.
Speaker 7 (37:22):
I thought?
Speaker 6 (37:23):
The worst part was that while he was condemning racism,
he was basically retweeting some racist stuff that was going
out about Angel Reese yesterday.
Speaker 7 (37:31):
It's like, why even bring attention to it?
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Was there like the cover of a video game.
Speaker 7 (37:36):
Yeah, she's on the cover of NBA two K, the
w NBA version of it.
Speaker 6 (37:41):
And yeah, some racist photo shopping basically done on Angel
Reese and he was sharing it.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Now, LaVar, you LaVar, you've played the w NBA video
game quality or not a decent game?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Never played it? I don't play video games. I've never
played it. What else, I don't know it. I don't
do it, so I don't know it well enough to
have an opinion on it one way or to the other.
I'm sure it's a fine game, considering all of the
technology that goes into making these games anymore. But you know,
(38:17):
I think it's a tired topic. Honestly. I think the
whole Angel Reese Caitlin Clark topic, they're they're too You
saw that Cam Newton came out and said Angel Reese
will be the reason why the w n B A
is more popular than the MLB the other day. Oh yeah,
(38:37):
I mean, everybody, everybody is going to have, you know,
their angles and their thoughts, and I don't feel like
anyone's thoughts or opinions should be disqualified. In the sports
realm of debate and topics, but at the same time,
I think it's a tired topic. I mean, Angel Reese
is a fine ball player that that misses a lot
(38:59):
of at times, but she hustles to get her own
rebounds and put the ball back in more often than not.
She can play ball. Caitlyn Clark, she can play ball.
And a lot of people aren't Caitlyn Clark fans, but
there are a ton of people that are. So it's
the storyline, I believe. You know, people got to continue
(39:24):
to lean into it because, as you mentioned, it's more
interesting than the basketball itself, and that's just kind of
the reality of it. Man. But it's a tire topic
to me, and that's why I think it's it's proper
to be in.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
In case you missed it, because most people did.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, because most people did.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
Lee what else we got, guys, we were talking about
Jared Goff Well, in case you missed it, from the
Netflix series, he did make a pretty expensive bet with
his punter last year.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
Take a listen from the show.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
I bet Jack Fox at the beginning of the year,
I said, he leave the league net punting, I'll get
you bud light for a year, And right after the
game he said you only bud Light for.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Life.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
I don't think I said life. Right after the game,
He's like, there it is, you know me for a year?
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah right?
Speaker 4 (40:12):
I thought it'd be perfect, free beer for a year.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
He actually came out with the uh with the with
the lead by two yards?
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
So let me because I have a question just like
how this gets done? And LeVar your famous rich all
that stuff that comes along with it. Uh, if you
make a bet like this, does Jared Goff just go
buy him beer every time he needs it? Or does
he contact somebody from bud Light and say, what can
(40:42):
we do for a year to give this guy beer?
Because if he's ripping, you know, an eighteen pack every
other night, I mean that's gonna get pretty pricey. So
how do you how do you make this? Does he
just give him a credit card and say, hey, just
only use this for beer and then I'll save the
travel miles for something else? Like, like, what what do
we how do you how do you put something like
this together? I don't know what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (41:05):
I have no idea, I don't know. I mean, how
much beer do you drink in a year? Like I
think maybe you do the mathematics off of how many
cases he buys, and then you buy that amount of
cases for him for the year. I feel like you
just back up a palette and put it in his garage.
It's a year's worth of the beer for you.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I mean, I would love a year's worth of stick
City Loggers.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
What I would love?
Speaker 3 (41:32):
It's coming, bro, Yeah, Al we're going ale first, citrus
wheat
