Speaker 4 (01:12):
Good morning, good morning, Hello, good morning, good morning, Hello everybody, Hello, hello,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
All right Petro's. I was listening yesterday and I caught
the tail end of the conversation.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
By the radio show I work out of the.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Afternoon Petros some money, And I heard you mentioned that
you're not a big fan of Nike, and I was
just where that where that started?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
And why that?
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Why that's the case.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Well, it's not because they're making a Bronnie James shoe
with like a little lowercase B with a nine or
a nine in it, because it's Brownie and nine.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But uh yeah, doesn't JJ McCarthy have that trademark at
this point.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
No, there's a trademark for Bronnie.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Oh it's a bee, a lowercase B with a nine
in it, and you can buy it now on the
Nike website under the lebron shoe.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
And they only come and pink, all right, is it
not kidding?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Is it for breast awareness?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
No, it's for Bronnie. But I call.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
Breast cancer awareness.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I do. I'm aware. I'm aware, Like I'm not blind.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
I see it, But so you're gonna get a pair?
I mean, where are we going with this?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I don't know? But Jonas asked me about it.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Well, no, I asked, what we do.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
We don't call Bronnie James Bronnie James on our show.
We call him Johnny Braims.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Because I'm just wondering because you kind of swore.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Off and bron Lames.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
You kind of swore off Nike as a whole, and
I was just wondering why that was.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Well, I'm legally crippled, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I have a I have a cadaver bone in about
seven or eight screws and pins in my right foot. Actually,
I've had the bad foot longer than I've had the
good foot, because I broke it in my early twenties,
and that was in a Nike, one of those Nike
cleats that we would wear back then, and so ever
since then, I've never worn another.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I never liked Nikes anywhere. They're too skinny on my
wide feet.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
And now I can't even wear shoes that have an
arch because I have no arch in my right foot
and I'm in a lot of pain. So I wear
chucks and vans that are just flat, and I walk
around like a flat foot hustler. Now, when I had
to play one more year with the badfoot after a
(03:41):
year of surgery and infection, I wore one Nike on
my left foot and which is still a size thirteen,
and my right foot, which is now an eleven and
a half I wear I wore an Adidas with the
logo removed and a Nike logo sewn on to it.
(04:04):
M So, yes, that was that the story you wanted.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
J I had no idea the back.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And so your foot shrink a size and a half
following the surgery, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Well, which surgery, jonas it was? It was kind of
an ordeal well.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
The uh, yeah, I'm assuming you know it would have
been an ordeal for to shrink that much.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
And I I blame Nike and Phil Knight and the
Swoosh and the Organ Ducks and Tracktown USA and Kaepernick
and everybody.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
All right, there's that one.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Anybody who's ever worked for Nike blame the moment.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Steve free Fontane can get it too.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Howard Slusher, the guy that helped start it. He used
to come in my dad's restaurant all the time to
hell with you. I wish he was a really nice guy.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
What what are your feelings about the Lakers right now
and where they're currently You know, we're they're sitting right now.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Well, I think it's the same as it always is.
They're going to beat really bad teams like they barely
did last night, and then there's going to be an
argument on the twenty four hour shows that the Lakers
are fine and look at Lebron's numbers and blah blah blah,
and Lucas scored forty and then they're going to play
(05:23):
decent teams or teams that are good, and they're going
to lose, and they're going to lose badly. So that's
kind of where they are. That's not where you want
to be as an NBA team is in the middle.
You either want to be contending or loading up to contend,
and they're not there, and they don't seem to like
each other very much. Almost everything Lebron says or does
(05:46):
is a terrible contradiction of his past, and we just
live in the world. It really does feel and I'm
sure I said this on your show, but the Lakers
kind of feel like a a parent who's got a
kid who they're trying to get to leave the house,
and that kid is Lebron, and they can't do anything.
(06:10):
They can't create any of their dreams or execute their
plans for the guest room, making it a gym or
an office or whatever, when Lebron is still there.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
So everybody knows Lebron is the problem.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Lebron's salary, Lebron's contract, Lebron's attitude and playing with Lebron,
all the stuff that we've seen over the years, people
getting fired, people getting moved, all the contradiction dictory stuff
that comes along with getting nailed.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
By the King.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's just going to happen until the end of the season,
and the Lakers can't really move until then. So I
think it's just they're in a very very awkward position,
and whenever they win, all the Lebron media minions go
out and talk about how awesome everything. Whenever they lose,
run for the hills or blame somebody else. Now everybody's
getting after Luka Doncic in town because I guess he
(07:06):
is kind of a bitch complaining.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Yeah, he complains a.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Lot, I guess, and he's like lost his mind complaining
he can't even control himself anymore. He got a technical
complaining after missing a free throw last night when they
actually did call the foul for him and he was
still complaining. They he missed a free throw that he
went over and started complaining and they called him tech.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
So it is.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
It's a pretty amazing thing to watch develop, but it's
more like always, like pretty much every year, other than
the Bubble Championship, which we can argue about forever, it
feels like the same as every other Laker team that
Lebron's been on. Something that's gonna be over soon, but
everybody's going to talk about it all the time until
(07:51):
it's over, and after it's over, and Lebron's gonna make
it all about himself and his legacy and Johnny Braims
and his pig shoes, and it's never gonnaen. And once
the year is over, we'll see what the Lakers can
do trying to build around Luka, Doncicch and Austin Reeves.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Every time you say nailed the King, you're getting nailed
by the King. I just I keep thinking this is
gonna be some sort of docuseries that comes out in
Elvis Presley, that's not going to be too favorable to him.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
I don't know why that just flashes in my brain.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
It was the colonel's fault. What happened to Elvis? Okay,
it was the colonel's fault.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
I'm just saying, I want to transl.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I'm sure you saw that the state of Mississippi has
apparently done away with standingham tax on ANIO law which
was you know, put forth and prompted because other surrounding
states like Tennessee and Florida and Texas, so they're competing
with within the SEC are doing the same thing. Which,
mind you, those states don't have standinghum tax for anyone, let.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Alone in i OWL money.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know there's I know there's some iss shoes in
the state of California, like, for example, that lax rail
connection that's.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Still four years late. That's not gonna be ready for
the World Cup.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Do you think there's a chance, Brady, Brady, Brady, here's
a here's.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
A newsflash for you. That thing ain't never gonna be ready.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Breath Forget the World Cup, forget the Olympics, Forget the
Olympics in thirty forty four.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
That thing ain't getting ready I'm just wilding.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
If UCLA, USC Stanford, if those schools can lobby Gavin
Newsom to do with the Stittingham tax in the state
of California for the nil so that California can be
more competitive in that nature.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Well, I think they have a lot more to weigh
through here when it comes to anything, and I do.
I don't think it's going to happen in California. I
think we tax people just for breathing here in California.
If you own a house and stuff like that, they'll
tax the hell out of you that on the other hand,
or nil, you know, Yeah, Well I don't yeah, but Louis,
(10:00):
I think that's pretty funny. So we will not allow
these young workers to be declare oh my wife, young
miss lady Anna, she created the beautiful chandelier that hangs
here in the groove.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
And we will not allow these young.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Men to be exploited and tasked by the state of Mississippi.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
That's a wonderful thing. I think.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
I think it's hilarious what's happening at Some judge who
literally has like Lane Kiffen T shirt on an old
miss T shirt under his robe probably made that decision
but uh yeah, Like it is kind of funny because
(10:46):
college football is a government thing in a lot of states.
I mean, it really is. The highest paid person in
this state or that state is either the football coach
or the men's basketball coach generally, and so states are involved.
I remember Louisiana, the governor when they fired Brian Kelly
(11:06):
came out and had all this stuff to say, and
it's the governor of the state. Like everybody's saying, like,
don't you have better things to worry about? And the
answer is no. Football is a huge deal in these places,
and their identity is through Ole miss or Mississippi State,
probably to a lesser degree. And I it's just because
(11:28):
somebody's a judge doesn't mean that they don't have blood
running through their veins and they're not a human being
and you don't have those kind of biases. And I
do love the fact that, like Leonardo DiCaprio's character and
Django unchained, Mississippi's.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Like, oh, come down here, now, you know.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Things guys, okay, Like Samuel.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Jenko, you black son of a bit, These people, boss,
these people.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
You can't let him sleep in the house.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Dan, do you think he do you think. Do you
think Lancio had an agenda back in the day.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Was he a big lance Edo? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Was he a big usc honk.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
All I know is that Lancito loved the OVG Lemono
soup at my father's restaurant, made with lemon, chicken, broth
and rice.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Sounds good. That sounds really good and egg.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Hmmm, it's very good. Actually it's a good sight at
the IVY yesterday.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
What up? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:44):
That tracks that, Yeah, it does.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
I mean you won't come, you won't come meet me
downtown and Rodondo's.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I went out, I had dinner and Rodondo.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
The other night with my wife, we go we went
to the new Italian restaurant that's over there.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Ill post.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Thanks thanks for the.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I should have invited you, sweetheart. Have you ever heard?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I know it's our only night together and a lot,
but the kids are in Catalina camp.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Let's let's let you do you remember a linebacker named ar.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Don't even have to leave with that, just say coming to.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Hang Let's he's coming down to meet us.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
He lives in the Hollywood River Era.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Damn, that sucks. Petros. You don't you don't love me?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
No, I should have done it I should have.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
I know you used a whole lot of sarcasm there,
and you know what, you've been picking on me all show.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Now you get on that.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
What did you know?
Speaker 9 (13:45):
Me?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
And I just get he's a he's.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
About it.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
They did just an easy target for you guys to
get you. I have no idea why I do not Young.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
First of all, let's sort this out. Let's start this.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
It's funny, it's not. It's not funny at all.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Number one, number one Jodas, He'll sit out. I enjoyed
the restaurant. But they did charge me for bread.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Oh man, that's what they do these days.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Five bucks.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
I mean they charge you for for sauces to condiments
like you know, catch up and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Charging kind of bread were talking about, just like your
standard run of the mill.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Yeah, they toasted it. They served him with some vinegary stuff.
They toasted it. Uh. You know it makes a difference.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Is Trey Young a hall of famer?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Okay? That well?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
First will be a hall of famer? Will he be
a hall of famer?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Do you think what I noticed about him the other
day is his hair is really filled in whatever whatever
he did, like, you know, he had a bad lid.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
He's that Beijing what do they call it?
Speaker 8 (14:50):
He didn't get Yeah, but that's paint, that's I don't
know that he has the type of architecture where Beijing
would help him.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Like, yeah, he almost looked like one those guys from
the eighties who had a curl and he was losing
his hair. In fact, that's exactly what he looks at.
That is what it looks like for a long time.
And now I saw the other night get kicked out
of the game when he wasn't really even in the
game or wasn't dressed, I wasn't playing, and he hasn't
played yet for the Whiz.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I think he's coming back soon. But he got kicked
out of a game the other day and I saw
his lid and I was like, wow, that is really filling.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
It Like somebody's bound to figure it out. I mean, yeah,
Lebron hasn't figured it out. He was fighting it now,
he was fighting it with the Beijing.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
He figured it out.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Whatever Lebron has done over the years, he has figured
out his hair.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Not lately.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Have you seen his head lately?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Not lately.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Maybe that's because of his furious postgame skull brushing.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
But what is LaVar?
Speaker 7 (15:52):
What is he brushing exactly? He doesn't have much hair
up there.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Like what You got to stimulate the follicles, man, That's
why you brush it. If you brush it, you're stimulating
the follicles, which could some way, somehow potentially have your
hair start to sprout. It has to be like a
tad bit of a like sometimes you have to have
(16:16):
firmer bristles that can't be super soft so that it
can kind of scratch it off.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
That well, because you got.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
To really really stimulate it, you know, like.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
The X sprout, the X foul is gonna come back
before lebron Ship.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Tommy Madig's statue Knight, They're gonna bring it all back.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I was playing with the La Extreme team run over
and oh yeah it was. Our whole offensive line went too.
But I'm crippled. I can't do anything. Remember we talked
about my foot.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
How long did it take for you to give up
on football? Like, you know how guys are done with football,
but they I.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Was done when I kept playing for a year with
my one skinny leg.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Okay, dang, the MRSA leg.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I had to get a shot in the bottom of
the foot before every game my last year.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
So that was I could dig the nectar of the gods.
Shot bruh. I get that. That was with me to
last too. Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Who's lined up there? Oh that there's a key trade.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Everybody like you was getting free food.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Anyway. I don't know why you hate Trey Young so much.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
I don't, I don't, But you never answered the question
is he a hall of Famer? Do you think he's
a hall of Famer?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Like I don't work on I don't work with Steve,
I don't work with Steve Broussard and Squidward, I don't
either answer that question. Chris Broussard, Nick Wright good Man.
Steve Broussard was a running back for Washington State.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Anyway, his brother coaches a valley.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, they both.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Got into coach and I think Bruce Sard brothers talk
about lid that Bruce Sard guy's got an interesting lid go.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So I'm glad you went there because our our producer,
Patty Sweet He's he's got a pretty big dome too.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
He said that. The guy that text me every Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, yeah, let me.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Tell you about the way this guy texts me, Hey, Petros,
hold on, I got it.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
It's always like he was wondering if you could join
the guys tomorrow morning for the show.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
And I always right back, okay when I've done for you.
They did this for six years with Klay Travis thing
and uh and he writes back, Great, I'll tell the
guys every time.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I'll tell the guy.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Like and I always imagine him like going back, like
to the center of the neighborhood where you guys are
playing like stickball or something, and going like, hey, guys,
guess what could you do that rambunctious rascal the old
piece coming on?
Speaker 6 (19:05):
He said, to tell you.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I mean, Pat, you've never told us that Petro's confirmed
for the show.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
You just you just assume.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
I guess you never tell us. Wow.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
No, no, he tells one person in particular, que so
just but I'm glad you brought that to life.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
You know, I'll tell the guys. Yeah, he tells one person.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Right, it's almost like, great, I can't wait to tell
the guys like you know something, like you know, like
it's like we made the championship game in the Stickball League.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
You know, wait till the guys.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Patty's too nice for this business.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
He really is.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
He's too he's too innocent for this business.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
He's not.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
I'm gonna change my style next text trust me. Oh yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna. I'll switch it up with you next week.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Pet No, no, no, no, you don't have to text
at all, like I'm coming on.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Don't worry. I'll let you know if there's a problem.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Petros just like the sun.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You know, on Wednesdays, you're gonna get a dose of
Petros in the morning.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah, it's awesome. We used to have this guy who's
like a stack.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
We still have him, Chris, who's a stack guy, uh
for everybody. But he works every once in a while
with play by play guys I work with a long time,
like even the guy worked with when I was in
my mid twenties early twenties, Barry Tompkins.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
And it's really interesting.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Boxing announcer by the way.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Yes, combat sports.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
But it's very interesting because usually you know, when you
call a game, you stat guy or the spotter or
something mal materialize at a certain point at dinner with
you or or somewhere driving you guys somewhere they're around,
as Brady can attest to. But this guy's like the
Phantom of the Opera and he never shows up until
(20:52):
like right before the game, he like spins into existence
and you're like, where are you coming from? He's like, wow,
I just did a Tuskegee game. Like You're like, damn,
you know where you're going from here? Well, I'm gonna
try myself to boise. I got two women's games, like damn,
And he just like appears like the Phantom of the Opera.
And I'd like, i'd like, uh, the young producer to
(21:14):
think of me as that guy Kasten when I get
like an excited when I get like an excited text
from like somebody like hey brother, do you think you
can be Like I think like it's gonna be something else,
not something that's already built into my life, which is
this show.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
So Patty stopped hitting pet I mean, you.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Could do whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
He doesn't need to act all hard like you know
that the next one like hey bit.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Coming, Hey the old bitch, come on, hey big nose.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, listen to Petro's once did the show while his
house was flooding, you know, So.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
They the house, the room that I do the show.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
He was in the standing water. I'm doing talking Lebron.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I probably shouldn't. What's up with the Lakers?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Same as last year. They're gonna listen to the first round.
Lebron's an a hole.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Petro's always a good time. We appreciate it. He is
the great Petros Papadegas and Money show on the Blowtorch
A five seventy.

Kicked you in your big toe.

Yeah, attacked.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I'm sure she is on the attack today.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
The Miami Dolphins. Per multiple reports, Dolphins owners Steven Ross
will sell one percent of the team at evaluation of
twelve point five billion dollars, which means he'll get a
one hundred Uh he'll get one hundred and twenty five
million for that one percent. Oh okay, so the total
valuation is twelve and a half billion, so he'll get
(25:58):
one hundred and twenty five million or for that one percent.
And just imagine if they were good what they could get.
But again you don't have to.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
I mean, where did that valuation come from? Q? Is
this is this a legit valuation in twenty twenty six?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, I mean I think it's impart because of what
he owns, you know, as far as the land and
all that.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Like people can say, oh, this success to the team
is what.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Needs to make them good.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
But if you have real assets, you have land, you
look at the practice facility they build up, you look
at the reoccurring revenue they've got, obviously the Grand Prix
that comes down there every year.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
All those things lead to you know, that ownership.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Group being pretty darn profitable and I'm being one of
the better in the NFL. Also, like you ask players too, right,
when't they the top as far as where players want
to be, want to work, you don't want to play.
So anyway, the Seattle Seahawks, which I believe they're selling
the majority stake in that franchise, they should be looking
their chops because they know they're going to get a
(26:59):
really pretty penny to be the majority owner of that
team because this is only a small position. But what's
crazy is think about it, Stephen Ross and the Dolphins,
because I think your captain raising ten percent of your uh,
you know, of your franchise, they could raise over a
billion dollars in cash at least at this valuation. I'd
(27:21):
assume the valuation will keep going up, but they could
raise over a billion dollars that they could spend on
their roster to help, you know, make the team better,
on facilities, stadium upgrades, the whole thing. I mean, it's
kind of wild to think that with these valuations going
up and up the amount of money some of these
owners can cash out, you know, pocket.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Some if they want.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But I'm assuming everyone who invests they want to see
their money, be that capital deployed into something that's going
to help the team or help the business succeed.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I think he brought he bought the team I'm showing
here for approximately one point one billion back in two
thousand and eight, two thousand and nine. He initially bought
fifty percent in two thousand and eight. He closed on
an additional forty five percent in January of two thousand
and nine. So from one point one billion in what
seventeen years, eighteen years, that's turned into twelve and a
(28:16):
half billion. It's not bad, man.
Speaker 8 (28:21):
Well, Q always talks about the investment model. It's one
of the you know, one of those those industries, the
industry that it just the value just keeps going up.
I mean, all you got to do is own it, right,
just keeps going up. I think it's curious and interesting that,
you know, they're selling off and then there's been a
(28:42):
conversation that that's something that is league wide that they
want to sell off portions of what they have and
pull some money back. A lot of people talk about
the conversation surrounding owners. You know, they don't make as
much money as people may think they do based upon
the overhead that's connected to what you're doing. So it's
(29:03):
like a it's like an asset that you hold on
to and you just let it keep growing and growing
and growing value. But in terms of the money that
you're pulling down for yourself, you know, well they say
most owners own teams either as a family business. But
but the ones that that you know sometimes more maybe
(29:25):
even you know, the owner of the dolphins, that's it's
a hobby. You know, they've made their money and other
other industries and we're able to put their money into
getting a hold of you know, franchise. So but I
think it's interesting that they're selling off portions, like to
sell off one percent get one hundred some million, you
(29:46):
put one hundred and twenty million that you pull in,
however you're splitting that up or whatever. I wonder what
the poolback is like they're pulling that money back, what's
it for?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
You know?
Speaker 6 (29:55):
But I mean it's it's it's a great asset. The
havelf I tell you that.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I mean Stephen Ross built his career essentially in the
real estate development business. You know, he got his law
degree and I believe started as a tax attorney. So
what's interesting about is like he's got this perspective that's
maybe different from others in regards to how he's building
out the business of the Miami Dolphins. And now it
hasn't necessarily led to you know, Super Bowl since Don
(30:23):
Schule's team, but.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
There has been They've had their moments.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
But I think more than.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Anything else, like what they've built is what the NFL,
you know, has seen the most successful franchises do, and
that's they've they built up a brand, They've built up
an experience. I feel like anyone who goes to Dolphins
games or has been to any of the events they
hold around hard Rock Stadium, you know, whether it's a
National Championship game, whether it's the Orange Bowl, whether it's f.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
One, like all those are premium events.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Like you go to them and you're like, this is awesome,
Like I'm having a great time. I'm having a great experience.
And look, it's I don't want to say it's a
similar model to what Jerry Jones has built in Dallas,
but they've got an incredible brand. They've had their past success,
but it's been a long time and now it's kind
of similar. Like you go there for the experience of
seeing the Cowboys and touring the stadium or you know,
(31:09):
going to Frisco and seeing the practice facility, seeing the
players work out like that, unfortunately, is kind of become
what you know, makes some of these franchises more valued.
And you look at again going back to like he
owns the stadium, he owns the land that they've built on.
So when you see all these other teams who want
to go outside to land that their owner has an
(31:29):
ownership stake in or owns the majority of it, like
they're doing that because they're gonna be able to make
more money off of it, and they're not keeping the
fans interest in mind. So in one way it's obviously
good for the team long term, you know, is because
they're they're gonna be able to keep you know, generating
revenue and helping out to support the players and support
team make them better. The person who gets left, and
you know, in the wayside of all of this to
(31:50):
me is at least the fan because even though they're
you know, able to generate more revenue from it, it's
important because they're bigger, nicer, and newer things, they gonna
be charging the fans more, you know, more for tick,
it's more for concessions, more for everything else. And so
that's that's the only drawback pullback in my mind. You know,
like they're getting this infusion of capital and hopefully hopefully
I mean honestly, like some of it could go to
(32:12):
paying down you know, what's going to be the money
z owed to to two Oktanga Bai looa right, Like
some of that's aren't even paid out for, you know,
covering covering the cash. They need to be able to
sign guys to signing bonuses so they can get back
under the cap once they move on from TUA, after
they you know, release them and put them in there
for a post June one designation like that would be
(32:32):
a use of the one hundred and twenty five million
that you've got.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
So it's it's wise to they're not taking a big
chunk now.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
It's like evaluations are only going to keep going up,
especially after the next New TV Media rites deal. So
that's why it's smart to kind of do it now
and then you can keep breaking off pieces in the future.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Why don't you guys pull together some cash and buy
a team. Let me let me give you like a
hundred bucks in on it, and that way I can
count myself as a part owner. Well, we make that work.
You guys are rich, put put together some funds, make
that happen.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
I'll say I've done pretty well in life, but I
ain't done that well. I've not done that well. Jonas Knox.
I would love to be in a situation like that.
But you know what, I'm waiting on Q. That's all
I'm waiting on.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Cue.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
When Q gets it right, that's when we're going to
get it going.
Speaker 5 (33:18):

You know, I got some goodies for you boys.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Well.
Speaker 11 (34:44):
Lebron James may not be done with basketball, but it
sure seems like his wife is their daughter. Despite showing
some skills in the family pastime, they're having her pursue volleyball.
Why don't you take a listen to what Lebron has
to say.
Speaker 12 (35:00):
Honor as a volleyball player. That's some handles out there.
She's a volleyball player. Don't get my wife mad. My
wife is done with his basketball. She's done with it.
She's a volleyball player. But she's been around the game
for a while, so she got a good handle. She
got a good form too. But my wife ain't playing that.
Not another one, she said, that's it, that's it.
Speaker 11 (35:23):
Does that sound familiar to you?
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Boys?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I get ready to see her on the circuit bar
get ready?
Speaker 6 (35:30):
Yeah, there's some truth to that. You know.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Volleyball is less stressful. It's like way more fun to
participate in, honestly. So yeah, yeah, how.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Old is she?
Speaker 10 (35:46):
Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I didn't I did not beat my bad.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
I didn't mean.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
I didn't mean to say. I wasn't going for a
stumping of you or anything like that. You said, get
ready to see her on the circuit.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
I got it.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
Yeah, what is it's years old?
Speaker 5 (36:02):
I think?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:06):
What pen.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Give her that warm?
Speaker 8 (36:11):
Hey man, she's gonna have to catch it. She's gonna
have to deal with it. Bruh, you know, she just
is what it is.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
But all in good fun, of course, all in good nature.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
What else Gallera?
Speaker 11 (36:27):
Well, I have seen some wild things, especially games in
the past. I've heard animals have been hit by balls
up in the sky. Well over the weekend, at an
amateur soccer game in Turkey, a seagull was struck by
a soccer ball in mid air and it fell to
the ground, just knocked out. No, luckily, the team captain
(36:48):
actually went over and gave the seagull CPR what like, Yes,
it was pushing on his chest.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
They eat garbage.
Speaker 11 (36:57):
I didn't see any mouth to mouth resuscitation, but he
was pushing on the seagulls chest until it actually came
back to life and you see him carry it off
to the side.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
It was it's a rat with wings. What are you saving?
He did it a like bats have your kind. Bats
have a vibe. There's a vibe with a bat. A
seagulls just a trash guzzling slob. They do nothing, They
crap on everything, They serve zero purpose. And then you
(37:27):
get one of these weirdos, one of these uh, these
animal freaks that go all, oh, don't put alka seltzer
in their food because it load like who cares they
eat out of dumpsters? Who cares? Those are the same
people who tell you not to go. The only difference
between them and that guy that was tranked out outside
the studio when we left Radio Row in San Francisco
(37:49):
is that they can fly. That's it. There's zero difference.
It's a rat with wings. Scumbags y'all.
Speaker 11 (37:58):
At Venice Beach I have the worst luck with. They
have come up and stolen my soda from me. They
have stolen. They're awful, perhaps from me. They're mean, they're aucious.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
They're awful. So whoever that soccer player is, you should
get promoted to whatever league is next up. The nerve
of them seagulls.
Speaker 11 (38:16):
Oh dare you save that seagull? You know who would
save that seagull is ace Ventura pet detective. You know
we talked about Jim Carrey the other day. It was Monday.
I do believe about him, you know, having a person
standing for him not being himself. Well, anyways, the giant
mechanical rhino from ace Ventura when nature calls is now
(38:37):
up for auction, right, yes, you know where he like
gets stuck inside of it?
Speaker 8 (38:41):
He has to come out Tommy Davison, that Tommy when
nature calls.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yeah, Tommy Davis. By the way, Tommy Davidson has been
some really good, like funny stuff that he doesn't get
credit for. What is the How much does the mechanical
rhino go for?
Speaker 11 (39:04):
Well, let me remind you. It's over ten feet long? Okay,
it is a big, big rhino and it is expected
to sell between four thousand to eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
Oh that's not fair.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
That's a big ass thing, though, big gas rhino ten
feet long.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Were you gonna put it?
Speaker 8 (39:23):
Eah, just gonna store it, you know, hold on to
it if it ain't no more than eight nine thousand
dollars now, and it's been around this long.
Speaker 11 (39:34):
Nineteen ninety five is when it was made.
Speaker 8 (39:37):
I don't see the value of it going up to
what's going to make the value of that rhino go up?
Speaker 6 (39:42):
So why would you pay? Why would you pay for
something so big?
Speaker 11 (39:46):
Could you imagine making it into a bed and then
every morning you have to come out the rise and
shine and transia.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
What do you what do you think will cost more
money that fake rhino? Or the amount of surgery they
did on Jim Carrey, Ah, prop him up and have
him do that interview if in fact that was him.
I don't want to make any reckless allegations here, but
you know, it seemed like there was something off, quite
a bit of money. Oh what else you got, Rey Ray?
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (40:15):
Well, you know, I got all the stories for you today.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Where's my other one? Hold on?
Speaker 8 (40:19):
Jim Carrey smashed Tommy Davidson's queen or something like that,
and he wanted.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
To beat him up.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Wait what in that movie?
Speaker 8 (40:27):
Didn't didn't Tommy Davidson's character like didn't his like one
of his women in the tribe or something like that.
Didn't didn't Jim Carrey smash her, took her to town? Yeah,
he smashed it. Man, then got a bat of.
Speaker 10 (40:39):
Their Well it is hump day.
Speaker 6 (40:41):
Okay, Well there you go. All right, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
