the way tire buying should be. So, if you were
anticipating a big playoff game coming up later on tonight
for the Los Angeles Lakers, they're home. Yeah, that's not

(01:41):
happening now. Lebron did provide a little bit of an
update yesterday. I don't know if you guys saw, but
he did point out and say that he's heard a
lot of speculation about Well, I'll just read the tweet
and we'll let you know and get your thoughts on this.
I've seen heard a lot of reports about my future.
I said it last night and I'll say it again
or do I do not know yet, as I'm only

(02:02):
thinking about spending time with my family and friends. When
I know, after speaking with the fam, my counsel as
well as my representatives about it, then you.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Guys will know.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Until then, sh love the King with a king emoji
A well with a king now king emoji, you know,
because that was meant for him when you got your iPhone,
people didn't know that that king emoji was meant for
Lebron James. So that's the update. For you in the Lakerland.

(02:32):
But there is the also some potential because we don't
know where Lebron's gonna end up.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
He could end up.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Going somewhere else. He's moved around, you know, a couple
of times in his career. One guy that did move
around was DeVante Adams who decided to leave Green Bay
and he ended up in Las Vegas. And apparently Davante Adams,
you know, did not anticipate that Green Bay would end
up with a better quarterback situation then the Las Vegas Raiders,

(03:05):
as DeVante Adams spoke with The Rush podcast about what
he's seen from Jordan Love.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Now that he's in Las Vegas on the other side
of the league.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
At the time when I was there, I hadn't necessarily
seen enough to say this is for sure what I
should do. But in hindsight, like we talked about, I mean,
a kid is all man. I'm so happy for him,
and you know, I haven't really had a chance to
truly sit down and talk with him, but I just
I want to tell him at some point, like you know,
I definitely don't regret changing, but I'm super proud of

(03:35):
what you've done. And you know, if there was a
way I could pull you over here and you know
and drag you with me like that. You know, that
would have been cool too, because you know, obviously we
saw what he did at the end of the year.
But I don't regret what I did. But at the
same time, it's definitely you look back on and you're.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Like, damn that boy ball Could he be the next one?

Speaker 7 (03:52):
Could he be? I mean, I think he is. I
think he's shown that and he's starting to come into
his own. I mean, you can see the way he's
talking in front of the media and everything. It's just
like a whole different person than what I saw when
I was there, and that comes with experience.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
So that was Devanta Adams talking about the development and
growth of One Jordan Love in Green Bay. And look,
I know he doesn't regret it. I just think and
I felt like this for a little over a year,
what he thought he was getting in Las Vegas has
not been anywhere close to what he got. Yeah, Derek

(04:24):
Carr was a good friend of his, and Trek Carr's gone,
and I feel like he maybe feels like he's been
a little bit let down by the organization. But that
being said, he's been fantastic the past couple of years.
It's just they've been a bad team and it's kind
of kind of noticed a little bit.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Well, you know, he went there too for the contract.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I think he went there as well to be closer
to home and obviously at parapis with Derek Carr, as
you talked about, But there was also an element I
think Devanta Adams wanted to prove that it wasn't just
Aaron Rodgers. You know, he could leave an all time
great like Aaron Rodgers still be a really good wide receiver,
a Pro Bowl caliber wide receiver, and he's proven that

(05:06):
to be one of the best despite not having Aaron
Rodgers as his quarterback. Now this year will get a
little bit tougher. I mean, as of now they're going
on with either Aiden O'Connell or Gardner Minshew. But regardless,
I mean, he's a hell of a player. I don't
know that you've always have regrets like that because you
can only make the decisions using the information that you

(05:27):
have at that time. You know, you didn't know Jordan
Love was going to turn out to be this type
of player. You didn't know that Derek Carr was gonna
end up leaving right. You didn't know all these things
would transpire, so you can't really look back on it
in hindsight and go, ah, man, I wish I would
have done this or this or that. I mean, he
didn't have the ability to see into the future. But

(05:49):
I think this is more maybe telling two of the
tale of Jordan love and just when you've got a
young player, then I think most people would probably agree.
And he came into the league, he was coming off
not a great season his final year in college football.
Two years prior he had played phenomenal. It's one of
the reasons why he had a lot of first round

(06:10):
a discussion about his play and ability, but he needed
time and very similar to Aaron Rodgers sitting behind Brett
farre Jordan loves sat Pin and Aaron Rodgers and it's
worked out extremely well. You were starting to see a
case where guys have been able to sit and watch
for at least a year or maybe a couple and

(06:30):
it's worked out well for them.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
And it goes back again to the.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Logic of what the Atlanta Falcons were trying to do
in the near term and long term with Kirk Cousins,
and Michael Pennix, and it's probably gonna bode well for them,
and again received a lot of criticism for their move
in the draft this year and then signing Kirk Cousins
a huge contract, But if you don't have a quarterback,

(06:55):
you don't really have a shot.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
They know that better than anyone else based in the
last few years. That's not a problem.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Manymore so, I like the fact that you know, Devontae
Adams is even able to notice the maturity and the
growth for Jordan Love and I think for all of
us out there who've watched him, he does seem like a.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Different player, different person. He does seem much more confident,
much more.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I guess, I wan't say outspoken, but like stepping into
the role of being the leader now, like he's demonstrated that,
and especially with the way he played that the second
half of last season, and it made all the sense.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
In the world.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
If a kid has enough patience to go through that process,
I almost feel like that's how it's always supposed to
have been. You know, so many times we think that
you have to equate success and failure with immediate immediate
results in terms of I'm the starter day one starter,

(07:53):
this is a day one guy day one.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Day one. He was ready earlier.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
It's like we created this false a fide narrative that
you're inferior if you're not the guy.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Day one, Like this false, this false.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Narrative that maybe you're not as good as as people
thought you were, or you're a bust, or you're whatever
it may be. And there's all this type of pressure.
So when people sit there and say, oh, it's it's
crazy to me how you could do what you're doing
as Green Bay with your quarterbacks three times well, seemingly

(08:32):
it could be three times in a row.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
It's actually two times in a row.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
But it's it's one of those those things like like
in Pittsburgh, it's like, how does Pittsburgh always seem to
have these linebackers that that end up.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Being really really good linebackers.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Different things like that, Like it's because they don't play,
They don't play for a while and and eventually they
get it. If you look up the timeline of James Harrison,
it'll blow you away, like, wait, this is a Hall
of Famer short fire. Look at his career path.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
You see the videos now of him and his kids,
like he basically challenges his kids to try and get
him down, and he just man handles them.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
He's a strong dude, brou But the idea of having
like there's this thing called like true development, Like you
know that there used to be a rule in college
where freshmen weren't even allowed to participate in the varsity sports,
like they had to get acclimated to being wait, god forbid,

(09:42):
hold on, here we go a student at the college level,
like you weren't even allowed to play. And now we
live in a day and age, the microwave day and age,
where everybody wants a finished product quick, they want it
right now. So to see that Jordan Love has learned

(10:08):
from Aaron Rodgers during his course of time in in
Green Bay and it finally gets the opportunity to take
over and play.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
He saw a lot of games, he saw a lot.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Of football, found a way to maintain his you know,
his fire for the game, because it doesn't always work
out that way. There were other guys that were drafted that,
you know, possibly like the kid out of UCLA.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
I thought that he might have been a.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Guy that could have ended up transitioning in but it
didn't work.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
I forget his name.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
But it's just to me when when they drafted Love
as high as they did, that said, okay, this is
the handwriting on the wall. He got his opportunity to
listen and learn and figure things out. And there's a
relationship aspect of it is, well, you built relationship with guys.

(11:03):
They see you in practice, you see them on an
everyday basis. There's something to having the ability and the
opportunity and time to develop talent, and that's something you
generally don't see in the pro level. In fact now
because of the nil and the transfer portal and different
things like that, you're not necessarily going to see that

(11:25):
at the college ranks either.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
You need you need opportunity, right, You need some opportunity
and you need somebody to give you a chance. Which
is why if you're Devonte Adams, don't have regrets that
you're not with Jordan Love anymore. All right, look at
the fact that you're going to get to play with
Minshew Mania and if he gets the chance over Aidan O'Connell,
ride the mustache damn right to stay. And I don't
know if he still got that that RV or whatever

(11:48):
he was driving arounding, because I know he was doing that.
But he'll show up to Las Vegas and a pair
of jorts. He'll walk down the Las Vegas strip.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
I wear jorts, yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Listen, And Gardner Minshew doesn't even wear the georts that
are designed to be George.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
He's going to pair a g.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, he's got got a hole on the knees and
he just cut them there and says, I'll go with these.
And so now he's going to go out and start
slinging it to DeVante Adams, and DeVonta Adams is going
to have another no you know what I mean the football.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
I mean, you've been going all the way the football.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I hate him, but he's gonna DeVonta Adams is gonna
edit but another one hundred catch season.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
And I do.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I do also think Antonio Peers being named head coach.
I think that made a lot of people there feel
better about things because Max Crossby and DeVante Adams are
two of the most vocal about maybe not being pleased
with what was happening with Josh McDaniels. So as much
as DeVante Adams looks at it and goes, man, this
is not what I signed up for, Antonio Pierce does

(12:49):
kind of feel like he's kind of righted the ship
there as far as you know, excitement for those guys
wanting to be in Las Vegas. So your guy Ap
getting it done there, labar people feeling good about things.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
I mean he's generated a lot of excitement. I mean
all you look no further than the way he did
that little you know what, what is the thing you
rev up at the hockey game? I mean he gave
it a whole lot of energy, a whole lot of
life when he revved it up, you know what I mean.
It wasn't it wasn't like he was tired or anything

(13:22):
like that. It was a whole lot of energy.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
What time does AP wake up to get prepared and
like do his coach stuff, Like maybe he gets a
workout in What time we talking about?

Speaker 6 (13:33):
Would you say in Las Vegas?

Speaker 5 (13:35):
You asking right now? Is that what you're asking?

Speaker 6 (13:38):
You know? What do you think?

Speaker 8 (13:39):
Var?

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Maybe get him on.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
I mean I could call him and ask him.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Yeah, see if we could see let me call him. No,
not say now, I'm just say call.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Him and ask him. I mean I'm gonna hit him
up right now. Let me see see.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
But if you're calling him at this time in the morning.
It's five fifteen. You know, he's probably gonna be upset.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
Hold on, let's see.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Yeah, let's see what we got here. This is good
stuff right here. He bought that down, So we don't
give his number out.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
What you mean, I'm not going to leave it up
there for it to say that isn't okay.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
I don't know, just making sure.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
There have been some people who have screwed up and
given out actual numbers on the air. Before Rob Parker
gave out the calling number and gave out his own
cell phone.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
Number on the air.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
I could see Rob do.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
He said, great, I've done it more than once.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Let's try this one man.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
This is the office number the suite of Mark Davis answered.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
See, that's how y'all notice up my dog right there.
I just I just put you on speaker phone. You're
on national radio right now. I said, A p is
up working right now, and I'm gonna call him. I'm
gonna prove it to y'all.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
He's up. I love you, bro. There you go. I
love you man. I'm gonna hit you up later. There
you go. The head coaching job in the NFL is
not for the fant of heart and he's up. They're
all like you you go around the league, man, they're up,

(15:31):
they're working. They're so good there. You got to work
to be the king. Now that they said you wasn't
with me in the.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Gym, he's probably not up. That's a Lebron, But he's
the King. He's an off season though. It's just basketball
too about that.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
And last night was Taco Tuesday, and you know it was.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
And he's got an official like he's got it, like
you know his invention.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
He's a taco bell guy now Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I remember one time people were giving him flak for
having some wine with his tacos.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
And I'll say this, I tried it once.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
It was pretty damn good, So I'm not I'm not
gonna criticize.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Do you think that until you have some Barberacoa, you
have some, you have some.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
I don't know something about it, man, the flavors, they work,
it works together.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Man, I'm telling you.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
I don't know. It's a single to my weekend coming up.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
I can't imagine there's a lot of Rex Goliath with
LPAs store tacos that are going to be fired up
by the Canelos fighting this weekend.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
Good fight, you.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Know, Yeah, I just got good.

Speaker 1 (16:41):

he beat up on. Watched one of the twins run
away from him.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
Charlo.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yeah, Tarlo, that was a bad fight February. People got
mad at me, like, you don't understand boxing. You're you're

Mungieah, he's forty three and oh with thirty four knockouts.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
When was his last fight though, I just gonna sworn
like a year ago.

was Charlo Yeah, September thirtieth, so a few months ago.
You know who the ref was in that fight, Harvey
Do No, it's the guy who was the ref and
the Ryan Garcia fight. A lot of people questioned, basically,

(18:15):
I was helping Devin Haney, so he was trying.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
He was trying to help Charlow's what you said. It
ain't helped that fight. I'll tell you that it did.
I guess it didn't help it the other one either,
It didn't help either.

But right now we want to welcome in Tom Rooney.
He is the president and CEO of the National Thoroughbred
Racing Association and get him on Twitter or ex at
Tom Rooney And look, we have got a lot to
talk about when it comes to National thorough Red Racing
Association and some new safety measures that have been implemented.

(20:04):
But Tom, first of all, good morning. We got to
talk about your last name, because if it sounds familiar,
it's because you are the grandson of.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
The great Art Rooney.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Oh yeah, so we've got some NFL royalty joining us
here on Fox Sports Radio. When did it first dawn
on you when you looked around and said, yeah, my
sort of family lineage is not like everybody else.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Is in town.

Speaker 8 (20:28):
When I was probably I don't know, in fourth or
fifth grade when the Steelers in the seventies, seems like
I was getting pulled out of school a lot to
go to really cool places to watch super Bolts and
all the other kids looking at me like why did
he get that?

Speaker 9 (20:44):
Go?

Speaker 8 (20:45):
So, yeah, it was. It was awesome obviously growing up
at that time and hanging out with those players, and
you know, my grandfather and I've been very blessed.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Are you from Pittsburgh?

Speaker 8 (21:03):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Are you from Pittsburgh?

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Tom?

Speaker 8 (21:06):
My older brothers were born there, but we actually moved
to Philadelphia to run a horse track my dad did. Okay,
so so I grew up in Philly.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
But okay, makes sense.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
I think you're on pace for one of the most interesting,
you know, upbringings of anyone in the world. Part of
the family, the Pittsburgh Steelers, then running a horse track.
Let me ask you this, which one, in your eyes
is more challenging.

Speaker 8 (21:33):
Uh, you know, I think obviously what's happening in racing,
and you know what we're what we're trying to do
is bring everybody together with similar rules that you'd see
in the NFL, which is a league, and you'd have franchises,
it all have to sort of play by the same
rules and racing. You know, up until last year and

(21:54):
a new law was passed called HEISA, the Horse Racing
Integrity and Safety Act, there were forty different states that
had racing that had forty different rules that they lived by,
and each track basically, you know, played by their own tune.
And so it was very hard to say when you're

(22:15):
coming into something like this week with the Kentucky Derby
that each horse basically had the same road to get there,
and or if you are shipping a horse in from
one state to another, that that horse can expect the
same kind of company that they that they've had in

(22:35):
their state. And so before literally last year, it was
anybody's guess what you were going to be running into. So,
you know, we're very excited, very optimistic about the fact
that we're finally living all under the same rules. And
I think that, you know, with the NFL and other
sports leagues that are true league, you already have that.

(22:59):
So I think that horse racing is actually more challenging
when it comes to you know, equality, fairness, and and
and and and knowing what to expect.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
You know, that's interesting because the horses are called athletes,
like they are the athletes like I'm a I'm a
big uh a big rodeo guy, right, So when one
of the horses goes down or whatever, everybody stops.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
It's like we got an athlete down. They get the
athlete up.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Just talk to me a little bit about and and
you're talking about the same path, the same road to
get to places like the Kentucky Derby. It is it
is treated the same exact way and listen by no
means as a person an animal and an animal and person.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
But at the same.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Token, these these horses are some very very respected and
revered athletes that are trained and and and fed and
and and put in the situation where they can perform
at the highest of levels. Just talk a little bit
about the thought process or the mentality that goes into

(24:08):
the handling of how this sport is, you know, how
it's done.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
I mean anytime that spends anybody that spends any time
around the race track and a race horse. You know,
I'm also a horse owner and I've had you know,
nothing to the level of the Kentucky Derby. But if
you go into the into the barn area and you
hang around trainers and vets and the grooms and the

(24:35):
and the hot walkers and all the people that lay
their hands on the horse, there really is this ecosystem
of care. Like when I go back to the stable area,
I almost don't even want to pet the horse because
of fear of what, you know, I might have neo's
foreign or something on my hands that could show up
in a test. But like, you know, the the amount

(24:56):
of love and care and just you know, admiration and
respect that of the people that work in our industry
and our sport have for these like you said, these athletes,
Uh is remarkable. If you if you just watch the
full program of the Derby this week, you will see, uh,

(25:16):
these horses are are are really royalty and are treated,
you know, with with such such tender love and care
that you know anybody that says otherwise. Of course, there's
bad actors in racing, there's bad actors in football. There's
bad actors everywhere, and unfortunately they get a lot of

(25:37):
the attention. But but you know, for those of us
that make our living in this sport, uh, the biggest
reason that we do so is because we love the
love of the animal. And you know, the reverence that
we have for the race and the excitement and the

(25:58):
joy that Thoroughbridge brings in our lives, so same as
probably the rodeo and those horses. I mean, it gets
down to just love of the horse.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Tom Rudy joining us here Fox Sports Radio, President CEO
of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Obviously the Kentucky Derby
coming up this weekend, last one for you, Tom. Listen,
this is a sport that we love, the Kentucky Derby.
We've had a chance to go to the Breeders' Cup
the past couple of years and be on hand for
that and just sort of see how much is invested

(26:34):
and how many people care about not only the horses,
but everything else that comes along with these events. But
for a sport like horse racing that's had, you know,
it's ups and downs as far as some of the
narratives when it comes to national media and some of
the injuries and things like that. What do you see
the future of the sport looking like ten twenty fifty
years from now, where.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Are we at.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
Well, we've just launched this update the now so thirdbread
Racing Association called Safety Runs First, and I think that
what you're going to see in the future. Obviously, if
you look at the this is one hundred and fiftieth
Kentucky Derby, one hundred and fifty years ago. Horse racing
hasn't changed that much when it comes to like, you know,

(27:16):
who is the fastest horse in the country as a
three year old is going to win this race? It's
still that. But and I think to answer your question,
that's what it's going to be. But now with this
campaign that we're embarking on, this update, really what you're
going to start seeing this is the first derby that
you're going to have horses using wearable technology that's going

(27:38):
to measure each of their strides, that's going to track
and create a baseline for their planes of motion and
any indicators that might be a little bit off. I
think Churchill Downs has now installed a pet scans for
before and after the race to look and see if
there's anything going on with the horse before they even
get into the starting game. And I think in the

(28:00):
future we might actually get to the point where there
might be a steward that in charge of using all
of that AI and all that data and maybe have
an ear piece into the jockey's ear that if something
is going wrong, there's a steward that's not one of
the trainers or the owners, that has a vested interests

(28:22):
literally tells the jockey pull up there's something wrong with
the stride. And you know, we're not quite there yet,
but we're getting very very close to being able to
have that kind of technology to make this sport even
safer than it is now, safer than it's ever been.
And I mean, I'm just very optimistic about the future because,
like I said, I mean, nobody likes to see the

(28:45):
bad things happen in any sport. The NFL is dealing
with this, and you saw in the Super Bowl last year,
like the sort of the robotic helmet that Patrick Mahomes
was wearing a show like all the analytics of what
goes into the new helmet or you know, the new
kickoff return rules and stuff like that. Just like that.

(29:06):
We're also trying to with safety runs first, do the
things in horse racing to show the public that, you know,
safety is pre eminent for us and moving forward in
the future.

Speaker 6 (29:17):
Good stuff.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
He is Tom Rooney, President and CEO of the National
Thoroughbred Racing Association. Get him on Twitter or ex at
Tom Rooney and Tom goes.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
Steelers Go, Steelers Go.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
It's a brand new era with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
There.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
We appreciate it, Tom, thanks so much. We'll be watching
watching this weekend.

Speaker 8 (29:35):
Thanks guy.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
Okay, but there he is.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
It is two pros and a couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Imagine Art Rooney. That must have been sweet. Go to
any game you want, any Super Bowl you want.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
They didn't call him, uh Art orchids you know what
I mean, I ain't call him that.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
Yeah, none of that. Definitely not by the way, Eddie.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Do you know did they attempt before they had to
spend whatever they spent on an emergency bee keeper?

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Do you know, did they like try some of the
old school tricks for the beehive, like throwing a rock
at it, Well, not not a rock, but like, you know,
a lighter and some hair spray, you know, like that
old Aquinet hairspray.

Speaker 6 (30:14):
You could just blow towards the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
I don't think, be Do you think a bee could
survive a big lighter and an Aquinet hairspray?

Speaker 6 (30:22):
Can?

Speaker 5 (30:23):
I don't think. Probably not, Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
I felt like there would have been some cheaper solutions there.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
They might attack though, depending on how big that mob is,
you might not have enough hairspray and fire.

Speaker 11 (30:35):
He did have like like a back, like a shot back.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
He was kind of, oh, is he just sucking them up?

Speaker 11 (30:40):
Well, I think they like, I don't want to spray
is not the right word, but they put like smoke
in there. It's like I guess that like calms them down,
and then they he just took like a vacuum cleaner
and was taking them and taking care.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
Of take them down.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
That's humane.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
I guess it brings out a shot back.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
No, they got a play game, come on, yeah, gotta
play the game and be later for them bees.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
At handle it. Man, I'm not flamethrowing.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
I'm gonna go out there to head like like, uh
what what what one of the dark Darth Sidious?

Speaker 5 (31:19):
You know what I mean. I'm gonna have two of
them zappers.

Speaker 6 (31:21):
Got it like a sod Off rocket launcher.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
I'm gonna have to two of them, one knee hand
just just you know.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
I make sure I'm totally covered up so they can't
sting me because they might be landing on me stuff
like that.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
Gotta be very well protected there.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
I mean, there's a big black bee. Whoa no one
of those?

Speaker 5 (31:42):
I don't know. I gotta be like that, Jon, They're
not here, you go away. I don't know what did
you mean? Why has it got to be that? Why
couldn't it just be a bee? Lee?

Speaker 3 (31:52):
I apologize and not means out that way, but you know,
I don't know if it's a hornet or whatever it is,
but it's a giant black bee that two years in
a row. I'm almost positive it's the same bee. It's
out to get me like it sits by the front door.
It My wife laughs because she looks at the door

(32:12):
camera and every time I walk up, the bee pops up.
Like boo, and I gotta like walk around the other
side and then go sit in my truck because I'm
allergic to bees and I don't very curious.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
Are you dressing in all black when this black bee
comes after you?

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Well?

Speaker 6 (32:26):
Yeah, what else would I dress in? That might be it?

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Okay, what do you think like, I'm an he thinks
I'm an oversized bead. He's trying to get down. Yeah, right,
makes sense to Menie. It ain't that hard.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
Might be called a car.

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Why don't you invite Lee over? I think it is
probably be able to.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
By the way, if that bee stung Lee, it'd be hammered.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
You might get a little bit of pleasure from.

Speaker 6 (32:52):
Its correct.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
You are correctly it is a carpenter and they are
harmless to you, Jonas. They won't sting you or anything.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
Like carpenter bee.

Speaker 5 (33:05):
Yeah they're big though, all right, they can Yeah, they're
big and they're black, aren't they.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
All all right? Let's see, Uh, yeah, that's the one. Actually,
I don't know. I don't I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I don't recognize the yellow on the top. But whatever
it is, just leave me alone, man, I'm just trying
to get inside.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
I don't recognize that, so it's just all black. I
actually think the female ones can sting. Well, I've never
been stung.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
I've never heard of anyone getting stung by a carpenter bee.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Doesn't every bee sting you the first dude, Yeah, but
doesn't every bee sting? Like it's like if you don't
if you're a being, you don't sting. It's like non
alcoholic beer, which I heard.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Carpenter bees bite, so they don't necessarily they bite you.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
I don't think they bite.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
I think just the females have stingers and they can
they can sting you.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
I'll call the cops. He shows back up again. I'm
not above it.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
I feel like carpenter bees people misconstrued with like a
horse fly, you know, m hm, really yeah, I've heard
horse flies bite. You can hear them.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Apparently, the females that sting. Males don't sting.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
They don't want no drama, not the not the male,
not the female. They just want you would that's it.
That's all they're really worried about. Like you ain't gotta
worry about them, Jonas, like it just relaxed that big
black thing you don't need to cross on the.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
Other side of the street. Just because you see that bee.
Embrace that big black thing in your face, man, Geez,
try not to see it for its color. Just try
to like level it. Come on, that was a great point.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
We are the world, We are the children.

Speaker 6 (34:53):

news stories. There's an article that came out referring to
phrases that are commonly misunderstood by state. So, for example,
do you guys have to know what the name or
the phrase jiffy feet means? It means a person with

(37:02):
dirty feet, dude of not wearing shoes. That's one of
the most common phrases you're hear in the state of Florida.

Rageous, yeah, like wild.

sloppy joe sandwich? Really yeah? Weird?

That was close. Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
In Mississippi the phrase carry.

Speaker 5 (38:07):

carried them.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
I had a breath far of joke, but I don't
want to get sued.
