(01:25):
over here hanging out with the baby. All right, everything good, alright,
all good, all good, all good. Wells. See listen, some
things you see, you know, they just have a lasting memory.
We'll just put it that way. And some people are gifted,
you know, that's what I hear. That's what I hear. Man.

(01:46):
And when you're gifted, you're gifted, you know, and you
gotta live in that gift. And you got to give
the world, you know, the gifts that you have, you know,
you gotta share it. Agreed, don't be selfish. Agreed. There
a little little word of the wise here are on
Fox Sports Radio speaking of gifts. Um. The gift that

(02:09):
keeps on giving is the situation in Miami with the Dolphins,
whether it's Brian Flores or Tuah or the Tom Brady
tampering rumors or Stephen Ross getting suspended or Tyree Kill
doing uh you know, fifteen podcast episodes a week apparently, Yeah,
I mean I get it, and uh, you know, there's

(02:31):
a lot of optimism there. Um, and then the tampering
details come out and so of course to a tugo
Byloa is uh. This is a big year for him obviously,
And he was at practice yesterday and he was asked
about not only the tampering story that came out and
the details on the Tom Brady Sean Payton Dolphins tampering scandal,

(02:51):
but also whether or not he believes that the team
has faith in him moving forward. I would say everyone
heard about it yesterday when we went into the locker
room in it on the TV. I have no idea
about all the details other than what was shown on
on TV with the one point five million dollar fine.
Something happening with Brady. I mean, I don't know all

(03:13):
the details. I don't even know what what happened. But
I mean I got to talk to a couple of
the guys, you know, to kind of find out what
was going on, and everyone's wondering the same thing. So
I remember I came in, So whatever happened in I
don't even I can't even speak on that. So I
was here and I'm still here, and I'm blessed to

(03:34):
be here. You know, if it has to do with
support from the team, I think the team's all in
with with me and all the guys that we have now.
All right, so you're too, You're entering a massive year.
You're just getting out of an era of of your
the start of your career where you had a head
coach who had no confidence or faith in you whatsoever,
benched you twice your rookie season while you were on

(03:55):
the road and trailing instead of letting you go through
some of those growing pains. And now out here you
find yourself in this year, and then you come to
find out that the team really, really really wanted Tom
Brady so much so that they're willing to risk a
one point five million dollar fine and have their owner
gets suspended for six games to try and make it happen.

(04:16):
How's your confidence level heading into year three if you're too, well, first,
I'm not gonna put too much into it, if I'm
to a because it is Tom Brady and it is
a business. So that's the first things first, Like, it's
Tom Brady, if they're gonna kick the tires around on that.
And I'm not aware of the fact that there have

(04:36):
been strong criticisms towards me as a player since coming
into the league. You know, I'm I'm not being honest
with myself. Secondly, that was a different coach and a
different coaching staff. Now, even though the regime in terms
of up top ownership wise isn't different, the bottom line

(04:57):
is it comes down to how your coach feels about you.
If that owner doesn't like you and wants wants to
go in a different direction than at some point in time,
they're going to go in a different direction, and there's
no there's no changing that. But if it's just if
it's as far as the coach is concerned, then you
gotta believe that the reprieve came and them giving a

(05:20):
different look, a different person, someone that brings some some
offensive innovation that could work to to his advantage. You
add a really, really, really phenomenal receiver to the equation,
you improved and upgraded the team on offense. There are
no reasons, no excuses why to its shouldn't have a

(05:41):
certain level of of measured success in this campaign this year.
So if I'm to a I'm looking at the fact
that I have a guy that nobody in the league
can run with, and all I gotta do is is
deliver him the ball on a consistent basis. And if
I can do that and and spread it around a

(06:02):
little bit where where I need to spread it around,
you know, sprinkle it on him a little bit. You know,
then you have you You put yourself in a position
where everything that has been you know, talked about at length,
criticism wise about tah it may settle down. You know,
it may settle down. You know you mentioned the you

(06:23):
have a guy that nobody can run with. They showed
a highlight from practice last week and I just this
made me think of that when you made the comment
there where to a completed a deep ball, like a
fifty yard touchdown pass to Tyree Kale And I don't
even care about the canny throw a deep ball conversation.
That to me, that was ridiculous and that was just
social media driven. But to your point, he's got an

(06:45):
acceleration that nobody has because it wasn't like the coverage
was bad on tape. He just basically outran the guy.
And there's there's nothing you can do, right, like you
just it is what it is. You find yourself one
on one with Tyree kill it's over. And if you
and if you bracket him, then somebody's got to be open,

(07:08):
you know, somebody's got to be open, and and that
has to be how they draw up their schemes is
we're gonna use Tyreek Hill. If you want to try
to cover in one on one, you gotta make them
pay when they cover in one on one, when they
zone him up and they they rolled the defenses and
the coverage is over to him, somebody is going to

(07:30):
be open, and you gotta take what the defense is
going to give you. That's just law of averages. That's
just the rules of how it works. So to me,
I think that the odds are stacked favorably into his
to his uh you know, his favor to to have success.
And and if I'm him, I'm focused in on the

(07:51):
fact again, I have a good team, I have a
good unit around me in offense, and I have an
offense uh minded you know, offensive minded head coach that
wants to have I'm certain he's but hurt or excuse me,
puffy butt over over the fact that they not only

(08:13):
did they go after Tom Brady, but they went after
Sean Payton. So both guys have have a reason to
band together and put their best foot forward. So I
just think that the odds are favorable for for two.
And also, let's think one of the things that I
can't stand is when people try and speak for some

(08:33):
of these guys like, oh, ship, would they be offended
that they dude like Ta hasn't been through enough already
in his careers. First of all, he played at Alabama.
He had a near career ending injury, the hip injury,
all of that stuff, multiple surgeries, he had to go
through all that. Then look at his draft class. He's
in the same draft class as Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert. Uh,

(08:55):
one of those guys he got taken ahead of. So
I'm sure he's already heard all those jokes and conversations
that have been made about him. Brian Flores, his original
coach in the NFL, he didn't like him. Just add
this on to the list of craft that he's gone through.
I think he's gonna be fine. But it just sometimes
I'll see people talk for athletes and say, oh, well,
you know, they should be offended by by the idea

(09:17):
that it's to your point. It's Tom Brady, Like, how
many teams out there wouldn't kick the tires if they
felt like they were a quarterback away for a one
or two year rental of Tom Brady. A lot of
teams did, Tampa Bay did so. I just I I
think I think two is gonna be fine. And worst
case scenario, if you're Miami, you're gonna have an answer

(09:37):
after this year, one way or another, whether or not
he's the quarterback of the future, like one way or
the other, because you've you've given him everything around him.
It's now a brand new regime. If he goes out
and plays well, that's awesome. If for whatever reason he
struggles and you find out he's not the guy, then
you move on, you go in a different direction. I
think a very strong team, yeah, and doing so so.

(10:02):
I think it will be an interesting year for them.
It's not the easiest of schedules right out of the gate.
I mean they have the Patriots first, and then the
Ravens week two, and then the Bills week three, and
then the Bengals week four. That's that's a that's a
very very Let's put it to you this way. Respect,

(10:25):
do if they come out of the first four games
and they're at three wins, if they're at five, if
they're at five, if they're at three wins, respect Matt
respect Matt props, because that's that's pretty tough. Okay, so
let's let's do it over. Well, let's just do it.
Let's do an honest assessment here. I want you to

(10:46):
be honest. Home against the Patriots at Baltimore, Home against
the Bills at Cincinnati, all right, and by the way,
one three also, and by the way, uh, not only
is it at Cincinnati, it's at Cincinnati in a short week. Yea,
one and three? I mean, but that's what I'm saying.
But if they go out there and they finished that,

(11:08):
if they went to two and two, would you be
would you be like, okay, yes, you take what you
get to it too. That's that's fine. But I don't
think I don't think it's a stretch to think that
that they lose those games. Yeah, I don't think, because
you do not have an easy schedule. Because and also

(11:31):
I would say the easiest game on their schedule, and
there's those first four weeks is probably the week one
against New England. I would say it's probably their easiest game.
And like, you don't think Belichick is gonna be fired
up knowing, oh so you're tampering with my quarterback? Okay,
Like you don't think Belichick is gonna have something dialed
up for for the Miami Dolphins that week Like that

(11:53):
to me feels like, I don't. I don't think I don't.
I don't think that Belichick. I mean, Belichick has a had,
probably has a revenge tour in his mind anyway at
this point. But I honestly believe that as it applies
to the Dolphins, there's just certain teams to to Belichick,

(12:13):
that's like you ever see, you know how a horse
or you know, some type of animal that sits in
the pasture is just hanging out and you'll see their
tail white wagging back and forth, and then you get
closer and then you realize why the tail is wagging
back and forth. And then you get a little closer
and it's like, oh, it's a fly. Oh it's it's

(12:34):
it's it's an it's an insect of some sort. That's
kind of like teams like Miami to build Belichick like,
it's just like the kind of you know, your tail
is wagging to to get like flies away from your
swatting them away. You're not even really paying it too
much intention so, and I want to make sure we
can go viral with this on Twitter. According to LaVar Arrington,

(12:56):
the Miami Dolphins are the fly on the ass of
the New England Patriots. Well, if you want to use
a jackass as an example, you know, a donkey of borrow,
you know what I mean? Like they are to fly Moscow.
That's that's how you say. Uh, isn't that right? Berno Moscow? Yeah, Moscow, Moscow.

(13:16):
That's how you say fly in Spanish. That's what I'm
talking about. Uh. It is Two Pros and a Cup

(14:49):
I mean Berto, I mean, come on, this is this
is ridiculous. Why is it gonna be Why is it
gonna be Dark Ages? I don't get it. By the way,
it is two pros and a cup of Joe Here,
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Jonas here. So we are

(15:10):
we are going to have a special edition of would
you Rather coming up in about twenty minutes around Hey,
you want to hear some rumor and speculation in the
NFL about a potential quarterback controversy. So this is gonna hurt.
This might hit a little close to home for you.
And no, it's not about Christian Hackenburg. Nothing like that right,

(15:33):
Not about Matt McLoyd. No, Matt mcloin. I feel some
type of way about Matt mclog right now, but you
know it is what it is. No Todd Blackledge, black Ledges,
mountain name out your by the way. He I think
people forget that he was actually very good and and

(15:53):
that eighty three draft class where he went it was
the Marino um l way Uh, Jim Kelly, Kennan, Ken O'Brien,
Yeah solid. He's a national title guy. Um. A good
broadcaster too, by the way, broadcast, Um, have you ever
met him? Is a good dude, real good dude. Yeah,

(16:16):
real good dude, like you would love him. He seems
called much respect to all. Black Ledges is an upstanding, outstanding,
you know, person like you really enjoy. Yeah, he's he
seems like a good dude. But um, but there's there
was a quarterback who you were very high on a
year ago. I mean this is your guys, Zack Wilson. Yeah,
your guy. Um I picked. I ain't gonna say it

(16:38):
was my guy, but I thought that he would have
the best season out of all of the rookies. And um,
you know who had a who had a who had
the best season out of the rookie mac Jones. Yeah,
I would say mac Jones, but it was but if
you look at it was kind of underwhelming rookie season
all the way around. Like mac Jones had a good year,

(16:59):
but Trevor Lawrence was down justin fields. That whole situation
was a mess. Zach Wilson Sackville, Jacksonville was a mess.
Tray landstill a mess. Tray Lance didn't play. Other one
didn't play. Well, that's not the same draft. I was
about to say Jordan Love didn't play either, but that's
a different lay. I mean, at this point, you can
strom here's what draft. He ain't played. Yeah, he uh,

(17:23):
you can put in with whatever class you want to
put him with. He ain't played. By the way, maybe
George Loves should do psychedelic drugs like Aaron Rodgers did
in the off season. Might get some. You know, it
wouldn't be pt just be okay, would not get it right. Hey,
you know what, it could be worse. You know, he
thinks of dragon is chasing him. Look at look at

(17:45):
Aaron Risers out there. He looks like, uh, he looks
like I don't know what he looks He looks like
a big lizard. It looks like a big lizard falling
up and down the field. So so there's a there's
some rumors out there that it Jets training camp, Joe Flacco,
the backup quarterback, he's out playing him and um, And

(18:08):
so there's been some talk about Joe Flacco, like, hey,
does he still have a little bit left in the tank.
And so Robert Salo, the head coach of the New
York Jets, he spoke very highly of his now backup quarterback,
Joe Flacco. He should be in my opinion, he could
start in this league. I believe that he's um. Sometimes
this league has a tendency to pigeonhole people or put

(18:30):
labels on people, and then their their opportunities kind of
get limited. But Joe Flacco is a startup quarterback in
this league. He's really really talented. So you got Zack Wilson.
Zack Wilson is very weird the way he worded it though,
I mean it was almost like starter just not here. Okay,

(18:53):
do you think if Robert Salo was calling the shots,
do you think he'd prefer Zach Wilson or Joe Flack
to start? Well, That's interesting because does that make you
feel like Robert Salo isn't calling the shots? Like he's
a starter in this league? Well, let's start with your
team in this league, Like, why are you saying he

(19:15):
could be a starter in this league? Why is that so?
Why is it so open ended? Like are you trying
to get a trade? Are you? Like? What? What are you?
What were you going for with that that statement? I
verry cryptic? Is he is he using this to try
and maybe pump up some potential trade value? I mean,

(19:37):
what do you mean he could be a starter in
this league? Is he a starter for you? Let's start there.
Is he a starter for you? Somebody should have followed up?
And I don't know if they did or not, but
somebody should have followed up. Can he start for the Jets?
Can he take can he overtake that starting job for
the Jets? What do you see for him on your team?

(20:00):
Not the league? Like we're talking about you as the
head coach of the Jets, and and and and I
thought that that was interesting. Your your conclusion is like, well,
if he's calling the shots, well is he calling the shots? See?
I think Zach Wilson, because they invested a high draft
pick on him, He's going to get every opportunity to fail.

(20:20):
I just wonder if Robert Sala at some point sees
enough of Zach Wilson to say, you know what, dude,
I'm not I'm not going down in flames because Zach
Wilson struggles. I'd rather take my chances with the veteran
quarterback who at least can trust a little bit more
in this process. But I don't know that he's going

(20:40):
to get an opportunity to make that decision. He has
to play and pay ten dollars for being passive aggressive?
I think, is that what you're saying? Are you saying
that he's basically saying, hey, listen, this dude is good
enough to start in the league. If he's not starting
for us, it's not because he's It's not my decision

(21:02):
to start him. I'm pressured into having to start this
guy over here that I did he inherit him or
was that his draft pick? Okay, well there you go.
You better go with your draft pick. Then you better
go with your draft pick. He could start in his league,
but I gotta go with my draft pick. That's what
he should have said. He could start for this team

(21:22):
right now. And if I if, if if Zach Wilson
wasn't my draft pick, he would be you know, Joe
Flacco would be starting. See to me, we're getting to
the point in time and in our world and in
our society where you could actually say that and you
be more You'd be more respected, you'd be more revered.
Like people in New York be like, that's a real

(21:44):
one right there. Like and you know what, Zack Wilson
has every opportunity to be like, I was your draft pick,
and I'm gonna show you why I'm your draft pick.
And I'm gonna show you why Joe Flacco could be
a starter in his league. Just ain't gonna before New
your Jets. He can do that. That's the beauty of sport.

(22:04):
That's the beauty of the NFL. That's the beauty of football.
You get the opportunity to take your abilities and your
talents and you get to define what it is as
to how the story is being written about you. Zach
Wilson doesn't have to stand by and be a victim
to the fact that Joe Flacco is playing well. It's like,
it's not like, oh, he can be a starter in

(22:26):
the league. Oh, coach slots talking good about Joe Flacco. Oh,
this is my backup though, Like like I'm gonna I'm
gonna make sure he starts talking about me. Let me
start dropping some dimes, you know, let me start making
some good reads out there on the field. Let me
get some ooze and some alls during the during the
course of the football practice. That's all I think it was.

(22:48):
It might have been Mark Schlareth who made this comment
when he was with and I believe he was with
Washington at the time, and they just drafted. He's Schuler
near the top of the draft, and Gus Farrott was
like a seventh rounder or something, was a late round pick,
and he got out into practice and he could see
early on Gus Farrott was a better quarterback. Like like

(23:12):
they could all just see early on. You think players
at Jets training camp were looking at this, going, dude,
Flacco is the better quarterback? Like what what? What? What
are we? What are we doing here? Like, I mean,
they understand the situation that Zack Wilson's in, but you
can tell right like if if you're just a training
camp and you're watching team drills, you can tell who's
the better guy. More so in training camp with Bred

(23:35):
Johnson as the starter, and they brought in Jeff George
and and Brad Johnson is the starter, and we're in camp.
We're in training camp and what do you think guys
are sitting there saying chud today Jeff George b slanging

(23:58):
ye all huh bro that thing came off. It hanged,
like what And then you look at Brad Johnson You're like, yeah,
Brad's good. You'd be like, yeah, Brad is good, Brad
is good. God dank Jeff George b slinging that bill.

(24:20):
But it didn't work out with either one. So so
sometimes it's like, you know, you're damned if you do,
you're damned if you don't. It's a bad football team.
And and when you have a bad football team that
now I will be interested to see. I'm not I'm
not closed to the fact that Robert sala is going

(24:41):
to make this team a better team in year two
of his campaign. I'm not so sure that this won't
be an improved team. But with that being said, that improvement,
I mean, nobody is expecting this team to be super
competitive or you know, just just outright, just amazing, an

(25:02):
amazing turnaround. This isn't like Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
It could be, but it doesn't seemingly appear to be. Yeah,
it'll be interesting to see how that plays out or
or what the reports are out of camp. By the way,
these are reports and rumors at a training camp. But
you know, tis this season when we're staring a preseason

play the starters at all, not even a series. What's
the point are the pirates playing it? At that time?
That either you know what, I'd rather watch nothing. I'd

(28:43):
rather watch nothing. It's got to be something on these
three me channels or watching that is so messed up, man,
Come on. I have fallen of this so many times
where I get excited about this and then I turn
it on. I'm like, ah, this sucks. Yeah, but I
mean all it is. All it is is when you hear,
like I said, that's our discover card, keep matchup. It

(29:04):
just it just is a good feeling to know that
this is the start, the first step towards getting to
the real stuff. That's all this is for me. I
have Roberto. You're a Raider fan. Your Raiders are playing
You gonna watches Nope? There that's such a lie. That is, man,
that is such a lie. Dodgers are playing the Giants.

(29:24):
He's watching that? Yeah, watching that the first pitch is
what two hours before it's over? You why I'd rather
watch them entertaining? Like better? How about this? Better call, Saul?
Which is why you guys want to watch this? First off, First,

(29:49):
it's not it is worse than the USFL. This is
not football. These these guys aren't going to play in
the NFL. Do you realize we got our first glimpse
of Sean Taylor in the Hall of Fame? Yeah? What
about that, Eddie? And that will be like one example
is the garbage time. All I'm gonna say is this
is all I'm gonna say is, if you are a

(30:09):
real fan of the teams that are playing tonight, you
would watch this. This shows me what Raiders fans truly
bigger dans to show you that some of us who
still love football have better things to do with the
watch listen. I just think that this is totally disrespectful.

(30:30):
The strong arm of reasoning going going around. Yeah, they
do call me the voice of reasonable. I mean that
die hard Jacks fan base they dressed up like clowns
for Week eight team last year. I mean, you don't
think they're gonna be fired up for a brand new
Seamon And it's got to be the worst matchup for
Hall of Fame game that you could ever have. I mean,
I mean, you got a good fan base, and the
Raiders Jack you're gonna put up against the Jack Jaguars

(30:54):
Jets would be pretty rough. I think I think Jacks
and Jets would be a rough, But just think look
at this Lions. That would be rough. I mean, I
can only speak for myself. I'll be watching pretty much
every single second of that game because well, no it's
I'm gonna do a full breakdown and get into the
sunny twos afterwards. And plus you never know, a few

(31:17):
years ago the field almost melted, so there could be
some shenanigans with that. I just think you can see
a new talent jump out there and be like, man,
this is somebody that you gotta pay attention to. I
can see that in the highlights. If somebody really goes off,
I'll just watch the highlights. Well just asked me. I'll
be watching the whole thing. You got it, Eddie, There

(31:40):
you go, I got it, I got you covered. I'm
glad we could have a family spat on Lab Lab Radio.

Fame game coming up later on tonight, and some of

(33:50):
us are not so lead. The LAP has got some
options for us here in regards to the Hall of
Fame slash preseason that is fact approachd Yes that they
are out lee. What do we got Yeah, based off
of last segment, I might have to spice these up
a little bit to entice viewers to watch the Hall
of Fame game or in the NFL preseason game in

(34:12):
fact from tax let's start here. Um, would you rather
watch an NFL preseason game that's accompanied gourmet meal or
an NBA Summer League game with fast food? A preseason game? Ye?
Summerly summer league stinks. I don't watch regular season NBA,

(34:36):
but who cares about preseason or summer league. They were
they were trying to make people excited, like you got
to tune in the summer league chat Homegren the human
wind puppet is Oh my god, they were summer league.
They was forced feet in the hell out of him.
Yeah you like that? Like that? Did you like that?

(34:59):
She would? What? This is gonna be a tough one
for LaVar because I know how much he loves golf. Um,
would you rather watch just you know, three hours of
a preseason football game or the entire Masters, you know,
the best golf you could get out there, preseason football game.
That's easy. That's easy. One. Look, I I know the Masters,

(35:22):
you know Augusta, all the Azaleas, all the history, all
of that stuff. I mean it, it is tremendous. You
know how golf could become interesting to me that let's
have a forum of of live towards supporters versus p
G eight towards. Okay, I'm in. I would be in
to watch that. I'd be into that. A lot of

(35:43):
a lot of grandstanding. I would love to see that.
I would be laughing at both sad. Yeah, that would
be a lot of fun. Yeah, I'll take the preseason game. Man.
I'm sorry, no offense to you, uh you golf faces
out there, but you know, just watching preseason football? What else? Lee? Alright,
I'm not sure how LaVar feels about NASCAR. Would you

(36:04):
rather watch you know, Talladega or would you rather watch
the NFL preseason football? I'll go on with Talladega. Really,
I do like race cars. In fact, I've gone to
um So race ways before. I'm big into two you know,

(36:24):
fast cars. I like the drivers. I think that they
do an awesome job. So I went up to Fontana
to check on check out a race before. Um. Yeah,
if it was the Daytona five hundred on Fox, because
Foxes coverage is top not big fan of the Fox
coverage of Daytona, I would probably choose a Daytona five.

(36:45):
But if it wasn't, I'm gonna go with the preseason game.
You won't go with Talladega. No, I've I made a
movie about it. I know I've driven by Tala. I
drove I drove by Talladega numerous times. It's massive movie.
Stump that you, bro, we've been besties. We've been bron

(37:06):
for a long time. Man, don't don't don't don't. I'm
a day I'm a Days of Thunder guy, and I
don't need I don't need the gimmicks in comedy. Hey, bro,
that's two. That's apples and oranges. That's that's comparing a
steak to to like a TV dinner man like Days
a Thunder, not the steaks Day at Night is a classic.

(37:32):
It's a classic. Come on, man, Tropic thunders better than
whatever thunder talking a tropic thunders better and better in
Days you're not allowed this segment. You're not allowed in
this segment. But by the way, you should hit yourself
for that. Can we Raiders fan doesn't what's his name
dress up like a black man? Yeah, that's racist. No

(37:53):
wonder Berda likes it? What else we go? Alright, Karate
Kid starring Will Smith's Kid or NFL Preseason for the
NFL preseason, I'm not in a bad movie. That's that's
one of the options. I'm gonna choose death. What about

(38:14):
the original Karate Kid? Now, now we're having a real
conversation here, alright, but any one of them, the first
one and and Racita the second one in now, I'll
even watch the third one with with to do powers
or whatever. But by the way, I had a my
first radio co host. He asked me one time. He goes, hey,

(38:37):
so because he loved Karate Kid. He's like, is that
what it's really like in Racita? I was like, donut
shops and liquor stores, like that's Racita. You just drive
down Racita like there's a you know, a lot of
that movie is very factual, and where she's living and
the nice homes they're like, there are a lot of
nice ks. I think she's in I think she's in Encino, right,

(38:58):
I think in that movie they live in in you know, yeah,
there's a nice homes. It's not, um what else some
nice homes and then seeing you're looking at one? Yeah,
would you rather wasn't? Yeah? It must be a nice
la bar. Okay, let's go. Would you rather watch the
hull of fan Game or any bit of the ocho tomorrow?

(39:20):
Do you guys know? I don't know what the this is?
Second time you tried to plug this? Lee? What is
the So you're gonna get things like flying paper airplane
races or competitions, you're gonna get disc gol If you're
gonna get Corgy races? Where is that at? Where do
we watch that? It's gonna be on ESPN eight, which
they've used. Well, if it ain't on one, two, three,

(39:41):
four or five, six or seven, they're telling you why
it's on eight. So I'm gonna go with NFL preseason
watching Corgy's race. I'd rather watch bums bathe like, I
have no interest in watch congrat with people that are
