Speaker 4 (01:13):
By the way, is this uh hantavirus thing? Is that
that's really going on?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Like that that's a real thing. Like get the people
are testing positive on a cruise ship.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
It sounds like fake news to me.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Pal, I just like, what are we doing here?

Speaker 5 (01:27):
Stay off those cruise ships?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
And I don't whatever that guy did, I understand, Like
now we got that going on, all right? Fun, that's fun,
all right? So speaking of fun, Jeremiah Love is the
uh new running back for the Arizona Cardinals. He signed
his rookie deal. Think you know, fifty three million dollars

(01:51):
is the number on the rookie deal he got, and
he spoke with the media about what he plans to
do with his first rookie contract and that money over
the weekend. Let's take a listen.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
I was living are in i l So I've been
pretty pretty well off already, so I really don't need
to touch that money, you know, as of right now,
which I most definitely will not.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
I'm gonna make sure I put that.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
Money away from my grandkids, my kids and stuff like
that so they can have a better life financially than
I did growing up.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
So that's the plan.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Plans changed sometimes, and that's gonna change sometimes, but that's
the plan.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
A friend of the program, Jeremiah Love, talked with them
last year. You guys were born way, way, way too early, man,
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (02:38):
I mean, yeah, but you could is that right, Jonas?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
But you could have done at I l oh Man.
Don't even have to spend that money. You come in wealthy.
It's a whole new ball game. Yeah, gotta be awesome brand.

Speaker 7 (02:52):
It's it's good for all these guys. I think they
come in a more NFL ready product, you know, or
brand or you know, athlete whatever you want to determine it,
to define it ass. But all these guys now have
gone through that initial wave of you know, what.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Do I do when I get my money?

Speaker 7 (03:08):
Or how can I start creating a foundation for myself,
for my family and my future.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
And they usually have a team around them.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
You know, there's gonna be a team of folks who
are helping them manage all this because, as he points out,
in a lot of cases, these athletes, you know, even
though there's actually a fair amount of Notre Dame who
have guys uh or excuse me, dads who played in
the pros, there's not that many like for most guys
that get there, you know, you're a first generation in
some cases in your family, even going to college in

(03:36):
some cases in your family, you know, playing a sporting college,
and so managing all that's difficult, you know, because as
a parent, you know you're going through those first two
and figuring out who am I listening to, Who's given
me good advice, and how do I go about handling
all this? You know, it's a very unique path if
you're looking at wealth accumulation, and in most cases these

(03:59):
guys are making the most the overmaking might right now,
and then the rest of their career they won't be
able to make as much, and that in and of
itself is difficult to manage and transition, you know, especially
when you're caught up in the midst of all of it.
So it's it's good to hear like guys like Jeremiah
Love are prepared, you know, are better focused on just
being able to worry about football not anything else, in

(04:20):
a large part because of an il and all the
lessons they've gone through.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty it's a pretty
cut and draft point. I think you know, it's it's
not much to add to to what what Q just hid.
I mean, it's you know, you a lot of times
guys have not had any opportunities to deal with large
amounts of money. And it's interesting because you're taught to

(04:47):
be the best version you can be and work hard
every day and get up and make sure you're you know,
you're you're starting your day off right. You get breakfasts,
you you make sure your homework is done, you're your
room is cleaned up, You go to school, and you
do what you need to do. And and this playing
this game and playing it at a high level and

(05:08):
doing all of these the little things right can lead
to you ultimately accessing the American dream. The American dream
is being successful and being compensated for what it is
that you're doing in a way where you can live
life the way that you want to live life. So
for all this time, you're you're taught to put your

(05:30):
best foot forward, and it's for this invisible payout. You know,
most of us will not realize the dream of I
got up and I did all of those things, and
I worked hard, and I made sure I did it
the right way, and it's still won't It won't lead
to you have making it to the pros and getting

(05:53):
that type of you know, compensation so early on in
your life. So it's very difficult to comprehend the fact
that you can buy whatever you want to buy, you
can do whatever you want to do. When you get
to the point of where Jeremiah Love is, I think
the biggest challenge is is always staying disciplined to the

(06:16):
idea that this is the approach I want to take.
I want to make sure that I not only have
money for me to live comfortably, but other people that
come along in my family, you know, working to generate
you know, generational wealth has always been something that's important
to me. And learning how to build the brand, you

(06:37):
knowing how to make that money, not just taking the
money I've made and using it. So I just hope
he you know, he educates himself, continues to educate himself,
be humble, and you figure it out as you go.
You get older, you figure it out as you go,
and then you start spending money. Don't spend your money
before you figure out where you're going in life and
what you want to be in life outside of just

(06:59):
playing the game.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Is there when you guys were in school.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Was there.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Classes or conversations or things to where they said, hey,
when you get to the next level, you're going to
be making this money. Here's what you do with it, Like,
here's how to be smart with it. I mean, it
was was there, Like there's.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
No, there's not like a curriculum for that, because you know,
it's such a small percentage of the you know, students
at the university. But there are opportunities, Like we had
a professor. We have a professor that here named named
Carl Ackerman. He's in personal finance. He teaches a great
personal finance course. But that senior spring, when I knew
i'd be you know kind of you know, afar, training

(07:38):
for the combine, training for the prote all those things,
he helped do an independent study with me. So we
went through a very specific course curtailed to the things
that are going to be coming my way and helping
me kind of understand how to manage all of that.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
You know, how we wanted to go about not only.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Managing the money, but a state planning everything else that
went on with it. So there's opportunities like that, I'm sure,
especially nowadays at Penn State, to other schools, too, but
there's not like an assign curriculum to something like this.
It's a very unique set of circumstances, and it's why
a lot of the schools too, have have brought on
these educational components with NIL and helping the players understand

(08:17):
and learn about taxes they've got to pay on this,
because that's the other thing is a lot of these
you know, young people that you're getting paid now good money,
and they don't realize, hey man, that's not all yours.
You know, you got to pay a portion of that
back in taxes. So again, they're a lot more educated
than ever before in a lot of ways because of
how things have changed.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I just that's the one portion of it with the
NIL stuff that I wonder, you know, because you guys
kind of spoken about anybody can be an agent, anybody
could be this. It's like, well, I hope that there
would be somebody also guiding that portion of it to where, hey,
you're going to be getting two, three, four million dollars,
who knows if you're going to get another penny out

(08:58):
of your football career or basketball career or whatever. Here's
what you do with that money. Like here, and I
wonder how many of those players and how many of
these athletes have somebody with them to kind of guide
that portion of it.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Like you know, I see these parking lots at these schools,
and let me tell you something, NIL has changed things.
Spending money as athletes in college is a real thing.
And I think that conversation is as more it's more

(09:36):
so now a super critical conversation because, like I stated,
the taxes of it all. You know, how do you
budget out? You know, there's a lot to that because
you can say what you feel about it, but you
don't know what it's like until you have it. When

(09:58):
you have it in your bank account, they tell you
this is how much you have or whatever it may be.
Everybody handles success differently, So ultimately you could go to
the classes, you can have a professor. You gotta want
to listen. One of the easiest things a person can
do is listen and do what it is that is

(10:19):
the right move to do. One of the hardest things
at the same time is to listen and do what
it is that you've been taught and told to do
that's going to take you in the right direction. It
goes both ways, so you find out real quickly. When
you get money, what direction you're going to go in.
Some people give into getting the nice car or buying

(10:42):
a house. You buy, you buy a big ass house
and you don't even like at one point I bought
a I paid for a house and it was twenty
thousand square feet on on forty eight acres. Wanted my
own place, my own like private space. I wanted to

(11:03):
be able to hunt. I thought about putting nine holes
on it, you know, had water, right what I was
one person. What did I need a twenty thousand square
foot home for? You know? And it turns out it
was a good a good investment. But at the same
come on, man, yeah, what do you do that? It's

(11:25):
very insensitive, bro, Like.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
I'm just asking. I don't know if that's so it's
big enough to have a coy pon.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's brutally mean. It was totally uncalled for. Sorry, yeah,
Jonas that that really hurt my feelings. I'm reliving the
night they all started going bailly up now.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
So I don't I don't know why it has to
always go.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Very insensitive Brady Quinn And yes, it was. That was
the residence of where you know, I watched the little
baby koy's go into the pond. I watch them grow
for many many many moons, many many days, and then
one big storm led to the demise of all of

(12:14):
my koyfish friends. How many were there, oh, bro, they
were multiplying, so I didn't have them counted. I know
I had. I bought maybe a hundred of them as babies.
They watched them they were little, and they got like
they were big. Like. So when I used to go
to the pro bowls, you go to the resort. At

(12:39):
the resort, they had koyfish ponds, and I thought they
were pretty cool. I would sit there just to kind
of collect my thoughts and I'd be there for a
little bit. And don't you know, like koi are very
very friendly fish. So they actually like when they're really happy,
they like come flying torch. If you go near where

(13:00):
they're at, it would be like a whole bunch of
them that just coming. They come towards you. So I
used to reenact that at my house. I sit down
at McCoy pond and they would come flying over. Shouldn't
be all of them, every last one of them be there,
and they had their little sucky mouthed faces coming out
of the water and this that, and then I feed
them and we'd hang out the friendly I can't believe

(13:22):
that y'all would would really be so insensitive friends.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Man, they like we talked, all hundred of them died.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Every last one of them, including.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
That smells so bad.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
It was trash bag after trash bag. It was.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
It was we didn't even give them a proper burial.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, it was too many.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Would that be down the toilet? I can't.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
They were too big. They're like they look at your
they were probably the size of your arm. They were big.
They died. I raised them.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
From even listen to story. She goes to many moons.

Speaker 8 (14:02):
I heard many moons?

Speaker 4 (14:03):
How many moons?

Speaker 5 (14:05):
And now she doesn't even listen to the story.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh she's different, bro, She's totally totally brand new. Hey,
but yeah, they were like as big as my arm,
like as long as my arm. They were big. They
were big. Yeah, And we had to take them on.

Speaker 7 (14:21):
Out of there, flushing down are the giants toilet?

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Like that?

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't know why this has to turn into this, Like,
why can't we just have a conversation about that.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
I was just confirming that was the house that he
was the point.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Of the point of the story is no house, no cooyfish,
no coyfish, no massive departure of all of my coyfish.
I mean, there was just a lot of access or
accessiveness that it was just I had. I think I
had like ten cars. I collected old school cars. I
only had two modern cars. Maybe I had a g Wagon.

(14:58):
I think I had a Carrera. I had a Maserati
and that was it. And for what it's worth, I
didn't even pay for those cars. I had a deal,
like people are thought, I was paying for all these cars.
I had to deal with Eastern Motors Group.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
That's what.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'd rather do the commercials and you know, get a
car rather than do the commercials and get paid. I
just that was my thing. But anyway, it was too
many cars because then now it's like, Okay, I didn't
pay for the cars. But you want to know what's crazy.
I feel like the upkeep of that stuff is is

(15:35):
it comes close to how much it did? Is you
paid for it? You know, And so you start to
realize very quickly, like you know, what I could have
been Okay, in a townhouse, it would have been fine
until I figure out where I want to live. I'm
a live in a townhouse. I might pay rent like
you don't have to even own it. Like I might
pay rent and just chill. I would have sat on

(15:57):
and stacked so many chips off of just living normal.
Just living normal, man. But I think it's a hard
thing once once you're thrust into that lifestyle and you're
living that way and people are around you. Everybody knows
what you make, so you fall into you know, sometimes
that that pattern enough. You know, you pay every time

(16:18):
we you know, you go out to eat. Next thing,
you know, you realize you don't go out to eat
by yourself anymore. It's like five six people with you
that that want to go eat with you, and you
know what, it's because they eat and free every time
they go out with you, you know. So it's just
it's a lot of things that change, and you have
to build really good, positive, strong habits. You have to

(16:39):
have a good self identity or you'll fall victim to
thinking that you can spend enough money to validate who
you are and you'll be broke doing so.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Will you get cooyfish again?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Hmm? Probably not?

Speaker 5 (16:57):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Just probably not?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
I mean that's the only way, you know, just to
try and erase that whole memory, because you know Brady
who just you know, reads the obituaries before he comes
on the air. I mean, he always brings up my
dead dog, he brings up your dead fish and how
bad you did it was?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
It was very mean.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
It's the only way to kind of rid yourself of that.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
In my defense, I didn't bring up anything dead. I
just asked if that was the house where he had
the coy pond.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
No, you knew what happened.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
I knew what happened to the coy pond. I didn't
know if it happened at that house.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
You knew what happened.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Yeah, I'm just saying a fair question. Also, haven't heard
the story. They could be someone new today who's never
heard the story in the first place. Now they actually
get to hear the story.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
No, it's not a it's not a it's a painful story.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
So I get that, But that doesn't mean it that
it doesn't need to be told.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
I mean, now he's you know, he brings oh you
see what he's doing. I don't know all that, like's
like he's adding descritione.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Probably you're fish that you love, probably stunk.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Probably smelled like that cruise job deadfish.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
What do you mean you don't think the dead thosh smelled?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
They were my friends.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
I didn't know the story. See do you know what, Patty,
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I did not see.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
There you go, Patty just learned something. That's pretty something.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
We had a different dead time in. Anymore, do not
chime in on any more of our conversations, Patty, You
did not. You did not help the conversation at all. Patrick.
Do not chime in on topics like this too personal.
It's way too personal. Damn so like I mean, I

(18:50):
even know that your coy fish that like, Yeah, Patty,
they all die slow, painful deaths. They couldn't breathe.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Do you think it smelled like that hannavirus cruise shing
or do you think it was worse?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
So now you're joining into the jokes.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Well, no, Brady asked the question. I just wanted.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I don't think you're so now you're joining in on
the jokes. To answer the question, By the way, we
cleared them out like we drained the like expeditiously drained
the pond out and and cleared them out before it

(19:29):
got to the point of where it was really really bad. Okay,
so it wasn't It wasn't like reeking over there, gone
for long? Yeah. And for those who get it done,
what what?

Speaker 7 (19:46):
Brady Grangers access to a million products of the skilled
lever where you need the most, the right tools and supplies.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
The Philadelphia seventy.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Six Ers got put in a clown suit by the
New York Knicks, I mean, absolutely dismantled and basically had
nothing for New York, especially after the first couple of games.
Tyrese Maxi, very good player, really good player star for

(22:00):
the Philadelphia seventy six ers, spoke about the Knicks fans
that took over Philly and had this to say.

Speaker 7 (22:08):
Tarres can can you describe what it was like playing
again against the Knicks here where their fans come down
here and kind of take over your home arena?

Speaker 5 (22:15):
Do you do you use it as fuel?

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:18):
It sucks.

Speaker 11 (22:19):
If I'm being it just sucks. But it just sucks, man, Yeah,
it just sucks. I can't That's really all I can
say about it. Man, Like I just it's hard and
it's definitely difficult, you know what I'm saying, And uh,
it's only one way to put a stop to it,
and it is we have to go out there and.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Win these games.

Speaker 11 (22:37):
Like we just being completely honest, we were better when
we played them in the Garden this entire season. Like
I know we lost game two and one, but like
game two was better, regular season was better. Here, we
was you know, I was telling them, it just feel
it felt louder here for them than it did in
the Garden. And it's like, well, we got to put
us out to it as a team, Like winning these games.

(22:59):
That was going to make you know, our fans like
louder than theirs or whatever. I don't know how to
keep them out. I don't know the logistics of it,
but you know, it does suck. I can't even lie.
It definitely does suck.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's just ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I mean, dude, that had nothing to do with you.
Guys lose them by forty or whatever it was multiple
times over, and I mean you say whatever you want
about well, the fans aren't here, and they complained about it,
and like all these you know, Joel em beads like, well,
don't sell your tickets to Knicks fans. I just I
don't understand why you would let that affect you to

(23:35):
the point to where they look demoralized. Like Game three,
like you saw them on the bench and they just
look like they were in shock that there were that
many Knicks fans in attendance just go play and try
and win a game.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
They might have been in shock at how good the
New York Knicks are. Huh. That could have been the
look you might have been seeing on their face. And
me I could understand looking at the the stands and
seeing that there's a lot of Knicks fans there. You
want to know why there's a lot of Knicks fans
there because they have a really good team. They have

(24:09):
a really good team, and and it's a it's a
team that looks like it's coming into their own which
is it's actually pretty scary. It's pretty scary because you
have a lot of really really fine players on this team.
Like they are a deep team. I mean, if you

(24:33):
look at their roster, you go down. I don't have to,
you know, run it down, but you look at how
many players they have that can make a difference. And
then you take into consideration that now one of the
things that Jalen Brunson was potentially heading down the road
of and you guys are like this one, it's almost

(24:53):
like he was heading down the same road as Donovan
Mitchell as as a player that fought through in injury
and didn't come up in the big moments in the
playoffs for his team. And whoa, Well that's the truth.
Just look it up.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
And anyway, a really really good player, a franchise player
that has not been able to get it done at
the highest of levels in the playoffs. Like that's that's
just what it was. That's what it's been I think
this team is primed and I think they're ready to
take that next step. Now, I will say I think

(25:33):
they're going to have their hands full. I do believe
it's going to be Detroit who they end up playing,
and that will be a tremendous matchup between some I think.
I think Detroit has a fine team roster wise, and
and Cad is playing out of his mind right now,
so I think it'll be a tough one. But I

(25:55):
see this next team. They have matured and they have evolved,
and I think they're I think they're good enough to
the point now where I think they're the most dangerous
team in the playoffs right now, West and East, West
and East. Okay, yeah, I do.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
You're probably not wrong because I think they're a tough matchup.
They're kind of play a different style, how physical they are.
They've got some length there too. I think what's interesting
is if you look at the money, the Calves are
the most expensive team based on their payroll currently still
in the NBA right now. Then the Knicks are right
behind them at number two. But then you've got the
seventy six ers. It's not like for lack of spending,

(26:35):
and they're gonna have to pay a luxury tax this
year because they're over that number as well.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
So they're seventh in the NBA.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
I mean, I just I feel like if you look
at all the teams that are still left, at least
in the East, with the exception of the Pistons, and
they're somewhat of a young team, all three are within
the top seven of the NBA and spending, So, you know,
money talks. I think if you look at the Knicks,
they've obviously spent tremendously to get this deal done for
the calves, bringing hardened, you know, increases that number to

(27:02):
take them over the top.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
But it's not for lack of trying. For the seventy
six ers.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
I just think to your point, like, the Knicks are
just that good and the way this team is comprised,
I don't want to say they're they're an old school
kind of throwback, but they remind me of, you know,
some of those nineties teams that were able to move
on to win a championship with the style of play,
you know, the big men down low, the way Brunston
kind of controls the game. I just I look at

(27:28):
that and say, I think that's like a change up
from what we've seen in past years from a lot
of teams who I've been able to win.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
And I think it's an interesting contrast too.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
If it is OKAC, if it's San Antonio, if it's Minnesota,
whoever ends up coming out of the West, it will
be interesting to see who that is. That's assuming though
the next can get past the Cleveland Calves in the
Eastern Conference finals.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, I mean, was that a retaliation because of the
koy Pond stuff that Brady said, Well, you had to
bring up Donovan Mitchell, you guys are gonna like this.
He's got to you know, had a reputation like Donovan Mitchell. Like,
I don't know why that needed to be brought into
the equation. Felt like a direct shot of Brady there.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Well, I mean that happened while he was in Utah.
I mean, he was coming up short before he came
to the seventy six ers, so he's probably bored out that.
I mean, maybe it was a little bit of hate
in my art when I did it. Maybe I was
feeling the residual effects of that segment of where you

(28:24):
guys totally made fun and joked about my loved ones.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
By the way, the Sixers bitching because Knicks fans took
over the arena. Man, they haven't had much to cheer
about for a long time, Knicks fans. I mean, they've
they've gone, they've supported, you know, they've gone to Madison
Square Garden. That's always been an electric environment. But usually

(28:50):
when you go to MSG for a Knicks game, it's
usually the opponent who becomes the star. We've seen it
throughout the years to where it was Reggie Miller, it
was Haliburton last year year. Trey Young had a run
against Knicks fans for a while. Remember they were they
were they were throwing his.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Nickname out.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
I think, yeah, Ice Tray Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Like So normally it's been whoever, whoever the best player
on the opposing team is might be, Yeah, they become
the star of Madison Square Garden because the Knicks couldn't deliver.
And so finally, over the past couple of years, they've
they've come out and they've won games. They got past Boston.
Last year they gagged against Indiana. But it does feel

(29:31):
like they've taken that next step. They won the n
Season Tournament, whatever that's worth. And I just I look
at the Knicks and I go, yeah, of course their
fans are going to show up. They finally have a
legitimate contender to cheer for. And the best part is
they're going to get to the finals and get butchered
by the thunder. They are going to get butchered, and then.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
We get to see you could say, in a repetition,
but that's not I don't see that being.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Jonas butchered by the thunder.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Y'all going up top on that go up top. No,
they they may not make it past the spurs. So
you could say, when check, when check the wind puppet
meets the real wind puppet, all right, when he meets
the real one, when he sees a real slim reaper

(30:29):
come in his way, they may not have an answer. Man.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Yeah, but Chet's got style. That's a wind puppet with
some attitude. He's got some style too.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
When Bin Yama just elbowed a man out, elbowed him right, like,
put that sharp, little thin elbow right in his face.
So he's letting you know, he's put he's put okayc
on notice. He's put him on notice. And I tell
you what. The New York Knicks. They're putting people on

(31:00):
notice too. And and you got to mention Karl Anthony
Towns in the conversation as well, because he's always kind
of disappeared in big games too, and he became a
perimeter shooter and didn't want to really play aggressive bault
and you know, inside the paint and play down low,

(31:20):
and people were just so frustrated with him last year.
You got to get the dude credit. This year. He's
not only operating efficiently in the block, in the post,
but his ability to create matchup issues because he can
play outside has caused the court to open up for

(31:41):
them in offensive sets. And he's finding the open guys
because they're really really concerned about stopping Karl Anthony Towns.
So I mean, he's he's he's he's seeing the court.
Guys are are getting opportunities because the court is open.
They're they're open for business. So give Carl Anthony Towns

(32:03):
a lot of credit to he's not shooting them out
of games this year.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Were you were you? I think last year did you
refer to him as zesty?

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah? What did you mean? That was not?
That was not me? What do you mean by that? Well,
that was not me. That was that. That was social
media that came for him because of the way he
passed the ball or something to that effect. And then
they started doing a deep dive search like they did
they're doing on Mike Vrabel, and they started finding all

(32:33):
of these things and trying to create timelines about you know,
zestiness of things that he did that was not me,
that was not original from you, That was social media.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
I mean, there are some clips of him where you're like,
what is that?

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I just think he just has he's a big dude,
and he's he's actually a really really like cool dude.
Like he's sophisticated, he speaks very well, he handles himself
very well. He just seems like he's just one of
them dudes that was raised differently, Like he wasn't out
in the streets like getting scuff marks and scrapes on

(33:07):
his knees and stuff like that, and his elbows and
his shoulders, you know, from playing in the streets and
stuff like that. Street football, you know, street soccer, street hoops,
all that stuff. He just looked like he might have
been more so like you know, he wanted to watch
TV or you know, like hang out, you know that way.
He just didn't. He just doesn't seem like he's you know,

(33:30):
he's a little like eclectic, maybe like Renaissances, you know,
you know, but he can hoop. Yeah, he can ball,
and it's showing up. It's showing up right now. While
Brunson is their their score and and Mikel Bridges is

(33:51):
really like doing a hell of a job being like
that second scoring option to perceivably if Karl Anthony town
is having a down night and off night, they just
have balance. Man, I really like where this this next
team is right now, if I'm being honest. They have
good balance and they're making good decisions and that didn't

(34:12):
always seem to be like the case like in years past.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Well, we'll see how it plays out, but you know,
good for Knicks fans got something to cheer about now.
They're on their way to the Eastern Conference Finals yet again.
Hopefully they don't gag it away this year like they
did last year.

Speaker 1 (34:27):

Speaker 9 (35:41):
After your sports weekend happens. So it's time to get
the FSR IR report.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
I mean, you know Loraino is traveling back east at
ben mallor meet and greet, going on tours of Boston.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
Sale. I mean, what do we got, Rey Ray? Oh
yeah I did. I did bunch of tours.

Speaker 8 (36:04):
But honestly that all that was great, no twisted ankles,
nothing too crazy, didn't get haunted.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
Huh.

Speaker 8 (36:12):
But I've never been that far east, so that was
really fun.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
A lot of history.

Speaker 8 (36:17):
But my flight's absolutely sucked, like worst flights I've ever
been on in my life. American Airlines is just not
I don't know if I'll ever book with them again.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Yeah, what was so bad about it? So barely any notification.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
Granted, you don't know when your plane is going to break, right,
So the flight got canceled, like delayed by six and
a half hours, and I was already at the airport
and they wouldn't let you in your like VIP lounge
to relax for a bit. I had worked all night.
I went straight to the airport after work, Like I
was so tired and yeah, so we got de laied
till like seven seven o'clock seven thirty that night, and

(36:54):
then they only gave me two meal vouchers that were
worth twelve dollars apiece, and everything in the airport is
like my fruit cup wasn't even ten dollars. My fruit
cup was thirteen dollars. I looked at the girl. I
was like, what is this gonna get me? And she goes, sorry,
I'm not in charge of the amount.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
Wow, I mean it sounds like our per diem at
that fox. Does this sound excessive? Because I played in
a golf tournament and in two nights, and this is
just Cores Light. This is not any other beer, wine

(37:37):
or hard liquor. There's a group of eight people. There
were one hundred and forty eight Cores Lights consumed, right,
and just two nights. That seems excessive between eight Although.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Cop isn't bad, it's not that bad. But again, that's
a lot of drinking.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
That's not that's not for the entire group. That's just
Core's Lights.

Speaker 7 (38:03):
One of our buddies only drinks Miller, so he had
eleven one night because we saw that on the bill.
And then there's some again, mixed drinks mixed in, some
wine mixed in. But one hundred and forty eight and
two dinners. I feel like that's that's kind.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Of a lot. Yeah, it's a keg. What's okay?

Speaker 3 (38:20):
I think a keg is one hundred and sixty beers
in a keg. So between eight people, you guys finished
a keg and in two days, not really two days though,
it's not like we necessarily woke up doing that.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
It was like that was just on our dinner tabs.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Geez.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
I mean, I don't find it excessive. I mean, you're
at a golf tournament, you're celebrating a big win. I mean,
I don't think there's anything.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
Wrong with that. No, we celebrate one of our buddies
who had cancer. That's what the.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Dolph emotional emotional connection to it.

Speaker 7 (38:50):
Or then well again, I think if you include everything
else too, it's it's a bit excessive.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
So that would have been that would have been my ir.

Speaker 7 (39:00):
Ever, I'm not sure if you guys have ever gotten
IV's after a long night.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Out of drinking, but that definitely helps.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Yeah, So what is that just immediately you feel better?

Speaker 7 (39:10):
I don't know about immediately there soon after well, yeah,
I mean, LaVar probably got the nectar when he got
his because you can get some tortill in there and
it makes you feel immediately less.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
You can little cocktail tortle added in really.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Some fruits, some juices, some berries.

Speaker 5 (39:26):
Lvar looks up. It is like the nectar of the gods.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Please please work for me. I can I implore you
to work for my body. Please.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
I don't know you could get to splash a tortle
that drinks.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
You can, Yes, you can. I drank quite a bit
yesterday too. Man. I had a good time on Mother's Day.
Shouts out to all the mothers who enjoyed their Mother's
Day or didn't. Maybe you might have been underappreciated. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Yeah, I hope you had his mom and just and
just remember, just remember if you didn't post it on
social media, you know it didn't I.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Didn't post I didn't post anything good for you. I
wasn't on my phone too much good for you. Yeah,
I was just hanging out of that going around yesterday.
Was it really?

Speaker 4 (40:19):
It's just you know, it's just I don't I don't.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
Like, don't go on social media. That's what people are
gonna post about the post about their.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Lives, like, you know, every day Thursday, not just yesterday.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
On Thursday, Thursday. Did you go with my mom on Thursday?
Oh yeah, yeah, it was pretty cool. You seen him
in a while? Man, Yeah, so that was good. But
I did get fried yesterday fried all the way. Then

(40:55):
yeah yeah, then I woke up for the show.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Well, there we go, here we go.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
