Speaker 3 (01:30):
It is at least he's not a method actor.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
He's the Only thing I'll say to you is when
this song came out, it was a banger.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
There was in many ways.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
He's shown a lot of range.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I'll tell you my man hit him with the Thom song.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
Tang spring Break was never the same after that song
came out. It was not that song took Q back
to some some amazing moments in his life.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Boy, some people sang this, some people live.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
It's like you, guys, wonder why we get the looks
that we get when we're on remotes and other shows
are around this stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
This is why we are slap.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Because our songs, we are slappies.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Playing the Thong song as one of the intros.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
But LaVar a hell of a job, man, I mean,
I didn't see that covied so in fact that that
was not my song.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
That mine.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Yeah, it's I want to see how long it takes
CUE to get Thong song fatigue.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
This might it'll be pretty quick.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, this one might be. That one might be.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Like two or three weeks. Now that I've got Veto's number,
I know I can kind of mix up a little
more often.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Oh man, well, listen were I did not expect that?
It is two pros and a cup of shoe Here
on Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox
with you, and we're doing the show live from the
tire rack dot Com studios. Ti rack dot Com we'll
help you get there an unmatched selection, fast reshipping free
road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
(03:05):
Tirack dot com the way tire buying should be. Should
have seen the look on Eddie's face too when he
heard the song. Just looked around, just this incredulous, like,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
You thought Lorena went rogue? He looked at me with
the guiltiest eyes.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Tang, I will say this, Lorena is a bit in
check when Jonas is here as far as the music selections.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
So I do, I do feel like there's something going
on there.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Oh what happened was Jonas's show?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I'm just saying it was like Lorena what she wants
when you're not here? When you're here, all of a
sudden we hear these like heavy metal songs no one's
ever heard of before.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Oh that's you know, it's disrespectful.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
You're saying, Oh wait a second, is this kiss of Death?
Oh yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Good?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Good song on you think the tech queen you know
is gonna sit here and take a order from anybody
she plays? She plays bangers because she knows bangers. That's right, Tang,
I got your back, flreada.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Don't don't do it. I'm telling you.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
You got your back, Lorena. What yeah, listen what I'm nothing.
I was about to say something cruely inappropriate and sometimes
you gotta have word air brakes man. And that was
one one time, right there, I got you. I mean,
(04:25):
between Thong song and Lorraina playing the music and being
in check and you being the boss and chees over here,
and and then Eddie's rolling his eyes. I just you know,
I'm gonna just stay away from what I was about
to do to connect all of those dots.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
It's a sports show.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I'm trying to connect the dots on something myself.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Right because we're going to talk to sports.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Yeah, because uh, Stefan Diggs is no longer remember the
Buffalo Bills, And it sure seems like, you know, if
you wanted to be there and that that's like a
pretty good quarterback, pretty good team, pretty good situation. He
had some pretty good years. Yet he's not there anymore.
(05:09):
And I've been trying to figure out why he's not
there and why the Bills needed to get rid of him,
because they just said, look, we'll eat it. It's more
to not have him here than to have him here
this year, so we'll just wear it and then he
can move on and find other places. And so Stefan
Diggs spoke at Bills or Texans Mini Camp rather yesterday
(05:29):
and to let it go. I can't because I don't
know why it didn't work out. I thought, you know,
maybe there was something with Josh Allen that was the problem.
Apparently not this according to Stevan, I.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
Don't know if they sent me in a buffalo with
the most kindest, you know, with the.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Most great intent.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
But Oswell inswell, you know when I got the buffalo, Jo,
you know, Josh is still my guy. You know what I'm saying,
Like people don't really understand what it's like to be
out here, you know what I'm saying. And he really,
he really embraced me what I'm saying. He kind of
had the Southern hospitality, you know what I'm saying. So
from me, he embraced me, spent a lot of time,
and I probably wouldn't be right.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Here if it was.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
You know, I got I got a lot of love
for that boy.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
So I'll get kiss on.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
John me. It seems like.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Digs from Maryland, Yes, is that considered South.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Close.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I mean, I would say Virginia South Maryland's like you're
not considered more East coast, just saying regards to Southern hospitality,
Like is he kind of put it on there for
the folks in Houston and h.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Town that my family.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
It felt a little bit like it felt a little
bit of the tongue in cheek maybe. And and Josh
Allen isn't from the South either, isn't he from Wyoming?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, yeah, so I'm not really Yeah, I feel like
it was kind of maybe just trying to connect with
the media.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Then what do you think, like maybe uh, grooving.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Me and my family.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
We missed my man, Josh Allen and all that Southern
hospitality he extended to us while we was there, because
it wasn't the greatest of intentions that I was sent there.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Hold on and my family. I ain't ready to lose yet.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Yeah, y'all, y'all think he was just trying to, uh,
you know, play it up a little bit like.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
There's no issues.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
I mean, Houston is Southern hospitality. That's that is Southern
for certain.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I just if you like the guy that much and
he's approven established quarterback.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Is he pointing as he putting the spotlight on someone else,
because I think what you said is what really really
is intriguing when you think back to the conversations that
were had by the GM by the Bills when they
let him go. We were just going to eat it
(07:50):
now instead of waiting. Let's just eat it now. Like
what do you mean eat it if he's if he's performing,
he's your best receis.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
What are you getting rid of them for? Because you
don't want to pay them.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
You gotta pay them anyway, you're going to eat it,
So why would you get rid of them?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Or they already or they already did eat it, right,
they already did pay him, but they still have to
pay the price for what they paid him on their
salary cap whether he's there or not.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
It may have been somebody in the front office that
was turned off by step On Diggs and what they
perceived to be maybe how he handled things. It may
have not have been a player to player thing. It
might have been a player to an exec thing. That
might have been what he was trying to put the
spotlight on by saying what he's saying. I'm gonna say
(08:42):
it's not Josh Allen I'm just not going to say
who it is that's the reason why I'm not there,
But it ain't Josh Allen.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Just so y'all know that's my boy.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Give him a hug, give him a kids, Southern hospitality,
But it's somebody else that is the reason why I'm
not happy in Buffalo or not in Buffalo anymore, and
why they didn't want me in Buffalo anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I also think it may be more of this. He's
on a one year deal now. The last thing you
want to do at this point in time in your
career if you're Stefan Diggs, is be looked at as
a guy who has any sort of you know, stigma
attached to him at thirty years old, that he's got,
(09:24):
you know, any sort of baggage or any sort of issues,
because if you're a recall, when he left Minnesota, there
is some reports and some rumors about that. Then he
goes to Buffalo, gets paid by the way, they paid
him eighty million dollars during his time there.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So he's made over one hundred million dollars in his
NFL career thus far, and rightfully so. He's been a
fantastic wide receiver, but now he leaves Buffalo and we're like,
wait a second, why, I mean.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
He was productive, He was their number one.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
This is a team that competed against the Chiefs to
try to go to a Super Bowl. In ways, it
feels like him not being there now as a step
back for the Bills. Now you have to rely on
a rookie and Keon Coleman, you have to rely on
Curtis Samuel, you have to allow on all the other
people they brought on at the wide receiver position by
committee to help replace what you lost from him in
(10:15):
production and schematically, it changes things. If I'm a defense,
there's no one right now that scares me at wide
receiver for them, the tight ends between Knox.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
And Dalton Concaid. You might look at his different mismatches,
but there's no number true.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Number one that you're gonna put your cornerback on and
match him or roll coverage two in key scenarios of
the game. So it changes the dynamics and schematics of
what the game looks like. And toil LaVar's point, you
were gonna pay him regardless. He's thirty one million against
their cap this year. That's their dead cap hit Why
couldn't they have just restructured it into a one year deal.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
I don't get it, man, why did he do that?
What do you have to do with Houston?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Like That's what doesn't make sense in all of this
is there has to be something more yep behind the
scenes that went on to where he'd be now on
his third team after being so productive over the entirety
of his course of a career, but now being in
a couple of different places. And I think when you
listen to him talk, he's probably cognitiant of the fact
(11:15):
that this is a big time year for you.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
You're with a quarterback and CJ.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Stroud who can help you ball out and get to
that two, three four. You know, however, long of a
deal that we want to sign that's got a bigger
payday as a part of it. Like it might not
be a four year deal, but it could be a
three year deal that's got thirty four to thirty two
million average annual value to it. If you ball out
(11:38):
this year the way we think you can't, and so
say all the right things, set all.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
The right things, Yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Don't upset nobody up top.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
So it must have been that bad in Buffalo behind
the scenes, that this had to happen because they are
a worse team now than they were when that playoff
game ended in January.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
You to pay him the money and you didn't upgrade
your team, which means that it was better to have
addition by subtraction with Stephan Diggs to someone that was
making a decision, and by the way, a decision where
we're saying, we're going to just eat it.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
He didn't say.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
He didn't just say like he said we.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
We Gabe Davis is gone like it just it just.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Feels like there was This was a group.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
This was a group conversation that GM needed some support
and what he was feeling or somebody somebody needed support,
or maybe they all together felt like we need to
get rid of steph On Diggs. That's what that sounds
like to me. It doesn't sound like that that was
player the player. It sounds like you needed to get
(12:48):
rid of steph On Diggs because something about him or
something that may have happened, or the way they felt
about him being in that building. It cost it more
to pay him and get him out of here. It
was more to do that than to just say, okay,
let's restructure. They could have very easily came came out
(13:10):
in the media and said, you know what, we tried
to restructure Stephan Diggs. We tried to make this thing
work with Steph. He wants to move on. This is
what we're going to do, and that's this is how
it's going to happen. They didn't say that. They basically
made it clear he had to go. He had to go.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So this was another quote from Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
He said, quote, we had some ups and downs, especially
after the first eight games. We got a coaching shift
and different things going different ways, different schemes.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
You know, the ups and downs of it.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I kind of felt like in the air a little bit,
I told God to light my path and here I am.
He makes no mistakes, so you know, just he's taking shots.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yes, he's also preachers of the Bible belt down there
in Houston.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
As well, and mom family wherever day calling playbook.
Speaker 4 (14:01):

Speaker 6 (14:04):
Now we all preach about God down there. Southern hospitality.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Now wrestle stairs.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Hey, next he's going to start talking about the barbecue
there I'm.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Just yeah, we'll talk about the trill Burgers.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
What up, Bud, He'll be getting the trill rap now
more that chopped and screw job chop.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
House.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Is Virginia really considered the South?
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yes, Virginia is the South from Virginia. Yeah, I do decline. Well,
that's it, that's me. That's is it that Doude declared
more New Orleans home.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Hall's I mean, I think the South starts at North Carolina.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Personally, Virginia is like, what a shouty shout we're going
on with your shallty?
Speaker 5 (15:01):

Speaker 4 (15:12):
They fell?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
They fell over? What do you mean they fell over?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
He's asking why you have him on in the first place.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
No, just like he literally had his shades on it.
He was dancing to some music.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
That was going on in the other It's just a
shouty in.

David Spade got them and also those who can help

Speaker 6 (17:09):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joey are on Fox
Sports Radio. LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn Jonas knocks with you
here from the tairaq dot com studios. We are going
to have our Midweek Awards coming up here in about
twenty minutes from now. The good, the bad, and the
ugly that is the Wednesday tradition here on this show.
Stick around for that I have about. I mean, this
(17:44):
is a damn shame, an absolute shame, just an outrageous
move by Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
All right, tu Kipeda Mercano.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Oh Maconna, He's out of here, is it not?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Marcana Mercano is what I'm shown, So you don't pronounce
the other a huh No.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Definitely not in my house. But he's banned by Major
League Baseball for gambling on games while a member of
the Pirates last year. Eddie garcia is beloved Pittsburgh Pirates.
LeVar Arrington's beloved Pittsburgh Pirates. Now, he didn't gamble in
any games he participated in, but he was a member
of the team, and he's got a lifetime ban. Check
(18:26):
this out. Three hundred eighty seven games totaling one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars if my math is correct, that's
like three hundred and eighty seven dollars a bet, which
is way more than I would ever bet none of
the games that he ever played in you ever bet on.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
And then you.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
See the numbers on the outcomes, and this from the
report that he bet on games almost exclusively on the
outcome of games and lost all of his parlay bets
involving the Pirate. He won just four point three percent
of all his MLB related bets according to the league.
(19:07):
In that punishment enough, did he really deserve a lifetime ban.
It's not like he got rich off this. The guy
lost almost every single bet he made. He had a
four percent winning percentage.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
You suck.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
That's punishment enough. And the fact that he's been banned
for life, I think is a disgrace in Major League Baseball.
Ought to be ashamed of themselves. This is too much here,
all right, he has served this punishment, Yes much, it's
too much. Let me tell you something. If my son
walks into a fire pit after I hose him off
(19:42):
and get him out of the emergency room, I'm not
going to take away all those monster trucks.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
He's been punished enough. He made a mistake.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Okay, this guy got burned already by the life of gambling.
Let him back in Major League Baseball and let him
being a learning lesson for everybody else that Hey, this
is how.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
This could go.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
It's gonna hurt a lot more than whatever else is
happening here. This lifetime ban is a bit much in
my mind.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
It's not they have to set down the hammer like
our North Hills hammer. They have to if they don't
do that. Regardless of the joke you're trying to make
about how poor is betting was, you'd have to think
that it's going on elsewhere.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
By the way, if there's habits of.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Players, they've got to figure out a way of making
a soupunity that they're going to stop so they can
keep up this impression of the integrity of the game.
So unfortunately, every single league should take into account more
of this sort of punishment because they need to scare
future players, current players enough so that if they ever
(20:43):
think about betting on one of their own games, you know,
or their own sport, that they're scared away from doing
all this. I mean, that's the only way you're going
to be able to change their actions or change their
habits if they've built up their habits to be a
sports gambler.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
On a serious note, I mean, this is unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And if it was Otani, I feel like maybe they
would have figured out a way to make it work.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
That's the other thing, like, if it's.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
One of the faces of your league, they're probably not
doing this. They're probably figuring out a way of making
it work or sweeping under the rug. In this case, though,
you have someone who's expendable to your league, as harsh
as that is to say, and so that's the direction
you go.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I wonder well.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
I was also going to.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Say, like, I bet if you're looking at players too
who would be trying to shave points create angles too.
A lot of them are targeting those fringe roster guys
who aren't making quite as much.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Their future is a bit.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Uncertain financially with these teams, and that's where they're gonna
get injury information. They're gonna get how the guys look,
how the guy's practice, if he's feeling sick, if his
you know, girlfriend broke, whatever the case is, right, it's
the fringe players that tip looked at in that way,
or the guys who aren't necessarily the faces of the
league who are typically looked at as more of the
(22:06):
targets when they're looking at trying to figure out who's
given the information what.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I just think he's worse. I've never met anybody worse
than me. He's four point three of his bets. It's like, dude,
let me help you out here, Like eighteen parlays aren't
going to help you get to the point to where
you're making money on this stuff is not happening, Like
this is not how this works. Johntay Porter, did you
see the latest on John tay Porter? Apparently the guy
(22:33):
who the degenerate gambler for the Raptors. The reason why
he was he was betting on prop bets for himself
and throwing games and missing shots intentionally is to pay
off gambling debts.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
That's a problem.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Now, that's degenerate.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
That is real bad, especially when you got brothers that
could actually help you pay.

Jonas is? And you're thinking that he's worse than you.
I don't know that he's.
Speaker 4 (23:16):

Now I see it.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
And let me tell you something, Watch the weather on
Telemoon or Univision and uh, you're not leaving the house.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
That was all I had when I was in the
hospital recovering from a motorcycle accident. And let me tell
you something. I can't speak Spanish, but I certainly learned
how to comprehend it very well.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Oh yeah, you can read it right.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
You could walked out of the hospital.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Hey, bruh, bruh.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Feeling today.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I was up in that joint.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
At first, it was like it sounded like something totally different.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
By the time them.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Drugs had really really kicked in and I was back
to myself, I started hearing them speaking English on everything
you ever hear Telemundo in English, No I did.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Now did you like what you saw the weather?
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I like what I saw and what I heard.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
And what's crazy is is like how they can turn
those those uh, those those broadcasts into personalized weather reports,
like sou LeVar, it's gonna be a very very hot,
eighty degree summer day album.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You're gonna want to make.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Sure that you dress up appropriately so that well you're
fedorra and your Cuban cigar goes very well with whatever
cocktail it is that you decide to drink today. That's right,
there will be sunny, clear skies today. I'm like, I'm
(25:56):
looking at the TV, like what the what like she's
talking to me? Does she just say, LeVar? I mean
my name is Spanish. I started touching my my, my
shoulders and like like oh my gosh, like I'm so embarrassed,
like I'm I'm I'm in a hospital gown, like you
(26:16):
can't be do you see me?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
You might have gotten your neck Garcia, That's probably what happened.
And when that happens, then.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
The weather, the weather, the weather or the traffic.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Lady was like okay, LeVar, so don't worry about the
traffic because you're not going to be driving in it anyway.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
But myst tropical buppy.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
No, it was English, dog. She was speaking Spanish. But
I started to understand it so well I could. I
understood it hearing them speak English.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
And the talent as old as time.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
That that's interesting. And that's a big old tail, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Oh yeah, And in.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
My world and the Lee's world, a tail as old
as time. That's a big old time, big old tail. Yeah,
you pick it up with a pu down. Yeah, well
you got a tail that could go into time and
back into the present. That's a pretty uh big tale
at work.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Hammerh Well, listen, it is two.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Up and Joey.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
You're on Fox Sports Radio. LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas
Knox with you. By the way, LaVar, are you getting any.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
More bears in your backyard? I'm looking.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Like they're literally walking into houses taking stuff and walking out.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
You see that, going into garages, getting bears get water melon,
like watermelon, Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Literally just show one walking out of the house with
a box of saltines. So what's happening here?
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:57):
They're very polite though, I will say, like when they're
walking around. It's not like it's weird when I see
certain neighbors like I get in the house, like ah,
like I rush to get in the house. Certain neighbors,
they don't even blink, don't flinch. Like one neighbor, the
bear was walking down the street and I was so
(28:20):
I was so blown away because I mean, growing up
in PA and going to school in Central PA, you
think that you see like a wild animal of some
sort of like noe, not a squirrel or a raccoon
or apossum, but like a bear right like like I
(28:40):
don't know, man, but the first time I ever saw
one was here. I'm driving down the street, just walk
like blown away by watching this this big old animal
walk down the street. And people are out mowing their lawns,
taking the trash out. It's walking down the street. They
not even rushing to get out of the way. They
(29:01):
not even It's like, do you understand that that thing
could take your head off, your off your neck in
a matter of a second. They everybody's like polite, like
you could tell the people who've lived there. They don't
pay it no mind. And he don't pay or she
don't pay them no mine's good. It's kind of wild.
But that's how that one in a thousand people, that
(29:23):
thing happens, right. It is like that one time he
was really hungry, like you thought y'all was good, Like
for all these years you saw.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
You saw him as a little cub.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
Now he's full grown, but you ain't know he was
really coming up out of that mountain hungry.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
You was on the meal today, you was on the
meal list.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
They're a lot more polite than that raccoon that used
to crap.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
In Brady's pool.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Really, yeah, what does raccoon crap even look like? Like
dingleberries and stuff like that, because coyote dung is bad.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Man, That's that's some ugly looking stuff. Brouh.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I would and I've seen beer. I've seen bears. One
did it right in front of our our driveway. One
tap and that is wow. That's wow.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Geez too, bro. Sure looks like you just squatted down there,
I mean, no yours.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
It looks like all of us came together.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Oh yeah, we all came together.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
And that might not even be enough.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Are some good things that happen, and there's some bad
and then there's some downright ugly things. It's time for good,
bad and lovely all.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Right, lead to laugh. What do we got will?
Speaker 10 (31:51):
As we do each and every Wednesday, we always start
with the good news and we have Jonas backs, so
we're all happy about that.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Jonas gets to give us the good this week.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Well going to say it's good to be back here
with you guys, but I'm not gonna do that. I'm
gonna say this, here's the good. On Saturday, because I
was in Chicago, met up with my brother he was
down in Wrigleyville because we were getting you know, the
game was starting. I was like, oh, okay, I'll be
a little bit late, but you know, I was doing
some stuff with the wife and the kid, and she's like, yeah,
(32:20):
just go hang with your brother for a little bit, do.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Whatever you want to do. So get down there pouring rain.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
So we're thinking, all right, the game's gonna get canceled,
like there's no way they're going to play this game.
And as it turns out because it was a Fox game,
they pushed and pushed and pushed, and finally started the
game at nine to thirty five local time in Chicago.
I don't know the last time a baseball game started
at that time. But what was good about it is
that all the places surrounding the ballpark people were getting
(32:50):
annihilated waiting for the start of this game. All these
Red fans that came down Cincinnati just getting throttled. And
so we got to hang out, drink some old styles,
go to Murphy's, go to some other places, the dugout nearby,
and walk in, walk into the game. It was pouring,
so we you know, tried to find cover as much
(33:12):
as we could, not dress for the occasion whatsoever at all.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
But it was a good time and it.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Was good to see them persevere because Fox had paid
all that money and they'd had gotten the rights of
this game. Persevere as people were trying to get on
a train at two am to get back home after
the game was finally over and they could be traffic.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
So that was my good for the week of Chicago.
Speaker 10 (33:32):
That's good, but you can't have good without the bed,
and you can't smell Brady without bad Brady, what was
bad this?
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Dang oh.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I hate to bring back up the WNBA conversation, but
just all of it. I mean, it's just the reaction
to the Kennedy Carter foul and the different conversations that spin.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Off of it. It's just it's all bad.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
And this doesn't do anything to help elevate the WNBA
brand in my opinion, And I know some people would say,
if there's publicity nowadays, it doesn't matter if it's good
or bad, like your name's out there.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Well, this isn't helping it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Just it makes it feel like it's dividing up, you know,
people and how they feel about the league. If anything,
you should want everyone to kind of come together to support,
help it grow, you know, help it blossom. But that's
not happening right now. Unfortunately it's And it's unfortunate too
because it's not like Caitlyn Clark asked for this. It's
just her style of play, who she is. People are
(34:29):
attracted to it, and it's no disrespect to the players
who've been before, who are there and now or anything else.
When you came into the WNBA, there wasn't as much
hype there just wasn't. This is truly a Caitlyn Clark
effect we saw in women's college basketball.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
We're singing in the WNBA it is unique to her.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
You can go ahead and give her her props, and
then you can move on and just not make this
a thing that really brings down the league or at
least the opinion of the league. For so many new
viewers who are watching, because that was a kid.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
A park, it makes you want to watch it less.
Here hearing the way people talk about it, I'm like,
it's like, I don't even want to be a part
of it.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Just heard you wasn't a part of it to begin with.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
So who cares?
Speaker 10 (35:11):
Damn dang and guys from bad to worse? LeVar, what
was ugly this week?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Your face?
Speaker 6 (35:19):
League?
Speaker 4 (35:21):
And why you ain't got no alibi? You ugly? That's right, Lee?
That you ugly? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:27):
No, seriously, I was joking that was Wildcats bad way.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
That is uh, you know what's ugly for me?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Shaje.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
No NBA Finals games yet, and we still gotta wait
a whole nother day, Like what's what with such.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
The long wait?
Speaker 7 (35:48):
I don't like how long it's taken to get to
hair I don't feel like there's this crazy build up.
If anything, I feel like the momentum of going into
this big time matchup has has kind.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Of alleviated a little bit.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
And so for me, I think it's kind of ugly, Like,
I don't think that there needs to be this long
of a break in between finishing up the Eastern and
Western Finals rounds and getting to the regular, you know,
scheduled program of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I mean, that's ugly to me.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
If your Timberwolves would have showed up a little bit
more
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Maybe there wouldn't have been a would have been some
more basketball
