at the old p Petro's Good morning. The Doyers look
good up three in the seventh.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Yeah, we're being preempted in Los Angeles at five in
the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
So enjoying the Tokyo.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
Regalia, all the fanfare in Japan, all the cool people
are there, everybody else is doing the work that the
cool people aren't able to do because they're in Tokyo, and.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's a pretty exciting thing. I think people are a little.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Tired, the ones that are there, ready to come home,
but this is it. This is They're going to come
home right after this. And they've been out there for
about a week and two things kind of jump out
to me about.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
The Dodgers in Tokyo.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Number One, it's a lot different than Korea last year.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Feels like everybody wanted to be involved.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
In this, and it is a big, huge story wherever
anybody goes out there, no matter who they are on
the Dodgers. And the fact that I mean shoe Otani
has been a Major League baseball player for a long time.
I mean the guy is thirty. He was with the
Angels for six years and nobody cared. I mean, it's

(02:27):
just amazing to me still that this guy was in
spring training, was in all these different places, and yeah
he won MVPs and all that. But something about the
clash of the brands and the World Series and all
that stuff. But the Dodgers plus sho Hey Otani plus

(02:48):
this Guggenheim group that owns the Dodgers and the money
that they can spend and the global kind of approach
that they have is pretty impressive. And Otani hit a
home run and he's coming up again.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Petro, I don't know if you had seen this, but uh,
Rodney Pete, you know Fred and Rodney they do.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, so the cool all the coolest people, right.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
So Rodney Pete took a foul ball away from Max
Munsey in the game and was seen on television. Max
Montsey was trying to make a play on the ball
and one of your family members on AM five to
seventy LA Sports, Rodney Pete swiped that foul ball from
and didn't look apologetic at all.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Well he's not a big fan of mine, but uh yeah,
look at it. Look now that you said that, I'm
just TechEd checking my phone and Rodney Pete just caught
a foul ball and screwed up Max Munsey's cats.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Look at that?

Speaker 4 (03:41):
How about that? Oh so your people are out in.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Droves look at this one.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Well, it's over Rodney Pete with the cat caught fly ball.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Why you're not at CASM man, Yeah, you didn't want
to get up and go to cosle.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Well to show I have a job. I'm on with
you guys, that's true. But we did give away yeah,
because I want to go to Inglewood.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
At three in the morning.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah, I was looking for I was looking for more
of that.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
No set trip and let me park four blocks away.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
No, we did give away tickets for that, so I
wonder what that scene is like COSM And it's funny
because we mentioned it and the phones blew up and
all that, and everybody wanted tickets and we gave away
tickets for the first night and the second.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Nightood it's in Inglewood, yeah right, we're right down the street.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, and it's it's supposed to be a really cool experience.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
A lot of people texted like, what the hell is
cause them? And that's a great question.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Uh, if you don't know it's like, I guess they
get more than one camera feed from the from the
the TV people, from the truck, so I guess they
are able to create this really crazy like dome like
interact to screen experience.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Have you been there, Brady, No.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
But I've I've looked into it. They've got multiple camera
angles like some are some are basic positions, so it
makes you feel like you are sitting courtside or you know,
right next to first base, third baseline, or the sideline.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
If you're a football it's supposed to be cool. I
mean it's not. It looks ama.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
It's not just football, baseball, basketball, soccer. I mean, they
do circ Disoba, they do different kind of municipals.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, so it's a big thing.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
I mean the only the first time I ever heard
about COSM was Colin Cowherd at halftime Penn State, USC
right had been beating Penn State, and I have some
of it memorized. He was like, I guess these East
Coast teams can't come out west. Can they handle the

(05:56):
sun and all the excitement of the coliseum.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Probably not?

Speaker 5 (06:05):
And then of course, you know USC in the second half,
and then Fenn State ends up winning the game.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
And making the College Football Playoff.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Lincoln Ryan Lincoln Riley still seems like one of the
worst hires, uh In, and they're under a one hundred
million dollar contract. But I got called a coward. Yeah,
standing there with a mohedo look of these East Coast teams.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Can't First of all, you're not from You're not from LA,
which you shut up?

Speaker 5 (06:31):
These East Coast teams are coming out west and coming
out to probably not.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Chicago.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Can you yeah, can you claim l A if your
kids grew up in LA, Like I have an LA
baby that she she's only lived here. Should I still
claim the East Coast? Or have I been here long enough?
If I've been here for over a decade to claim
the West coast? What's the what's the proper etiquett there?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Not? Well, what do you want to do in your heart? Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Well, I mean I know what I'd want to do
in the heart. I just don't want to I don't
want to influence your answer. I'm just I'm curious as
to how that will work. Because Colin's been here for
a while, like, you know, it seems like he's been
adopted by the community.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
You know.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
No, not with the questions he's asked on air, they're terrible. Well,
Colin Cowherd has said, and God bless him, he's like
the top of our industry. And I do, I do
a lot of punching upwards, but.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Well, don't counch down.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
No.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Well's Colin Cowherd once said that the coliseum is right
off the four oh five on air, which is not
the case, guys, it's not the same freeway.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Uh the Sherman Oaks Galeria.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah, uh, he said that once on air.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
What else did he say on air?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh, he asked Joy Taylor or one of the people
his his whatever co host. He asked once like, are
you more of a Montana person or a Wilshire person,
which is like a question about Santa Monica, which came
off to me still as one of the douchiest questions anybody's.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Ever asked in the history of sports talk radio.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I guess I would say that Colin Cowhard is Los
Angeles in the same way that somebody that makes a
lot of money and moves to Manhattan Beach and then
moves to Brentwood is Los Angeles. I don't think he
understands anything about the infrastructure of the city or what
the people that work in the city are really like,
and what place is like Santa Clarita, East, Los Angeles,

(08:42):
San Gabriel Valley, Orange just came from the North Orange County,
so I.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Can claim it then, right because I coached that long beach.
I coached in Pasadena, Well, I would say that I
coached at Charter Oaks, I coached in San Gabriel val
Like I'm the Chargers.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
I would say that your fingers, your fingers and toes
have more legitimate roots with legitimate real people, yah than it. Yeah,
are you more of a Wilcher person or a Montana.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (09:20):
I'm more of a person man, I like, I like,
I'll keep it p on there, you know, because I
could get the Santa Monica from and I can get
the wheelchair from from both.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
So who would ask that on the radio unless you're
just a huge douche anyway I.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Would say, I would say, sir LeVar.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
I'm cool with Colins, so I'm not jumping in on
as one. But I'm not.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'm cool with everybody. I love everybody.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'm just saying seen as co Sandy, you I'm not.
I am not Co Sandy, but it's funny as that well.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
I mean, Colin made this huge point for years coming
here and then telling, lecturing the country.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
About what la was like. And it was comical.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
It is comical to most of us that have worked
and been in the city, our.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Whole lives to be lectured by a guy who just
arrived here and is going to tell everybody what it's like. Uh,
and it is.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
It is a difficult place to know what it's like
unless you have a long Mark Twain, so to speak,
or a giant dipstick to stick in the river of
the city. Because just hanging around with a bunch of
rich people in Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica ain't gonna
do it.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Ain't gonna do it. No, you got you gotta hit it.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
May cause them at three in the morning will get
you there.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Maybe, so.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Inglewood, that's good.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
I'm going.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Have you ever been to Tokyo? By the way, i'mskinchy, No, no, no.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
My little brother lived in Japan for a couple of
years and he has a Japanese wife and Japanese kids
and they all speak Japanese. But they live in Lomita.
But you know, you go over the house and they're like, and.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Uh what is that? You know, it's very cute, you know,
and uh, you know.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
The Japanese men and the women they speak very differently,
you know, the language.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You know, you hear the.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Men sometimes, especially in like the Yakuza movies and stuff,
and they're like you know real you know, like Sato
and Karate Kart two.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
No.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
And then you know the women, you know, it's like
it sounds a little more like a you know.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Like real rhythm.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, very nice.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
So just but a fascinating place, unbelievable attention to detail.
The culture is uh really really unique and uh celebrated
all over the world because they have such a unique
and interesting culture and it's just crazy. I mean when

(11:57):
they had those terrible Tsunamis and this guy that was
pitching for the Dodgers, the guy who started Roki Sasaki
has a terrible familial tragedy.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Connected to the big Tsunamis.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
But when that happened, you know, the global news I
remember was like, well, you know there's going to be
an issue with looting and now Japan's you know, martial
law and blah blah blah, this and that, and the
Japanese don't even have a word in their language for looting.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
They don't.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
I mean, they just doesn't even occur to them when
people are suffering to go and steal, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
And then here on the other side, you.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Know, Colin Coward's neighbors are running around the palisades stealing
from stealing from burned out houses.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Not Cowards neighbors.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
But you know what I'm saying here in other countries
we have that issue all the time. There's just so
many things in Japan that are just so drastically different
reading up on it, just like reading Japanese books, Like
there's a Japanese author that I really came to love
of and Haruki Murakami, same last name as the guy

(13:04):
that does all the art, but a different writer and
very famous Japanese man. And I read a bunch of
those books. And what's really interesting about uh these things
and Asian books and literature especially, the plotting is totally different.
Like the storytelling is not the same as like our

(13:24):
western kind of uh what what we would expect things
to have a beginning, in the middle and an end,
and in a Japanese movie, things just kind of happen,
you know, in a weird way. So it's just a
very interesting And then of course there's all the anime
and the tentacle, sex and the perversion.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
You know that they have so much going on.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
It's very Interestingles you've never seen the cartoons.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
There sounds interesting.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
There's all kinds of crazy cartoons, some of it very
very sexual in nature, others very violent.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Some vocals very into that.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
I can dig it. Oh you're into that. Well, no,
some people are not my thing for real life.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
For some reason, Pat Jonas gets on me. He dresses
like a Japanese schoolgirl who interesting, puts on the bob
Wig right interesting platform.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
I can see. I can see that too. Now now
that you say it, I'm looking at it. I can
see that's funny. Do you ever did the march madness?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
You get involved, you do a bracket, you excited about
it at all.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
I haven't filled out a bracket in a long time, okay,
because you know there's those idiots at work that fill
out like four brackets and they'll be like, I had
Marquette on Tim Brando, free on Tim Branda three, I
had Marquette. You know it's like, okay, well, you know,
how how many chances he's supposed to get, you know,

(15:01):
just throw Brando into the box he.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Used to fill out a bunch of brackets and then
yell about him. Well, what about Coward? How many does
Coward fill out? I have no idea.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
I don't interact with these people, but I'm sure Coward
fills them out for his neighborhood friends in Manhattan Beach
and Santa Monica and now suburban Chicago. But but no,
I don't. I mean, I don't flip out that way,
and I don't sit here and act like I know
all about you know, this Saint Francis or wherever these

(15:28):
obscure schools are. It's fun to look at once the
thing gets started. There's always great stories, and most of
them you don't know. There's always weird look in college
players from the mid majors and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Guys with goggles, white guys that.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
Are bald, and you know, just weird looking dudes, hud shouldered,
big men, stiff legged, non need endings.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Especially, it brings up a question I have noticed, and
maybe it's just because I'm getting older, but I look
at some of these kids and I'm like, how the
hell are they twenty two they look like they're like
forty five.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Do you feel like they're watching basketball in the seventies,
we ask you, do you guys look like a bunch
of high school principals? Okay, yeah, no, I think that
was worse back then.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I mean you just kidding.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
Some of these dudes on a team with like a
full beard, and you're like, okay, well, you know, he
looks like a big ass, you know, a real man. Uh.
And and some guys, you know, they look baby faced
and they go through their NBA career like that.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
You know, people do look different in the face. Brady,
I gotta say, you've always had a very youthful vibe.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Do you have different categories for how people look in
the face.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Well, I mean there's sharp faceded people. There's people's face
looks like a hound. You know, there's smash faced people.

Speaker 7 (16:47):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
The other day I had a co host, him George Reister,
you guys know, George. Yeah, played the organ and George
George's daughter joined him at the station and she said
a new word for ugly. Uh, and she defined me

(17:08):
as ugly and that word was chopped, damn chopped.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
So which would be considered crashing out. She crashed out on.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
You, right, that's another word.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
The kids liked afraid. Why are we.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Inventing new ways of saying something that's been around forever?

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Because of skimmity? The kids say all kinds of stupid.
I mean, the kids stuff now is terrible.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
You know.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
When I was a kid, I remember saying like, that's
the bomb or I'm down with that, and then your
mom starts saying that, you know, is that something that
is down you know? And it's just like, no, that's
not you know, Is this also the bomb?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
You know?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
And now I find myself being like, is that skimmity?
What is skimmity?

Speaker 6 (17:52):
Me?

Speaker 5 (17:53):
And the kids are like, what, shut up, you idiot?
You know what's a giachte.

Come on, come on, Petros, come on, come on, Petros.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Who's it for?

Speaker 5 (19:17):

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Tom Pelasero of the NFL, Come on, Come On, reporting
that the Minnesota Vikings have rejected multiple trade calls on
JJ mccarr the telling other teams they're moving forward with
him as their quarterback. Sources say the team plans to
add a veteran, but they're not pursuing Aaron Rodgers at
this time. McCarthy now enters this season as QB one.

(25:12):
Pellisero goes on to say the Vikings continue to explore
multiple options for a veteran quarterback edition, whether through free
agency or a trade. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers options are now
focused on the Steelers and the Giants.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
You know, I don't know, can I say I like
being I do like being right. I do like to
be right, and in this moment, I think I was right.
Minnesota was not if you were going to do what
everything was being reported, then you just keep Sam Darnold.

(25:46):
You don't move on from a guy that gave you
the season that he did to take a chance on
Aaron Rodgers. I just don't think that you do that,
especially if you're going to go with your draft pick
coming off of his injury. So I don't know, I mean,
to me, I think it was taking too long. If

(26:09):
you're saying both sides wanted this to happen, and it
just seemed a little strange to me that it was
taking so long. It made me give pause and say,
I don't think it's Aaron Rodgers. I think it's Minnesota.
I think Minnesota had to decide do they want to
do this or do they not want to do it. It
sounds like they don't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I think it's interesting how this is worded, and I
believe especially when you're sitting out a tweet and it's
not us talking on radio where I mean, look, we're jackasses.
We don't always get it right right. We say things
sometimes we don't mean to say, or slip whatever. But
in this case, you have the opportunity to type that out.
Make sure this is how you want to portray this,

(26:51):
especially considering how big of news it is in the NFL,
So I'm gonna read it again. The Vikings have rejected
multiple trade calls on Jaj McCarry, the telling other teams
that are moving forward with him as their quarterback. Sources
say the team plans to add a veteran, but they're
not pursuing Aaron Rodgers at this time. So what would

(27:14):
what would change to make them pursue Aaron Rodgers at
a later time? Maybe like, why wouldn't you just say
we're not pursuing Aaron Rodgers or the final sentence reads
macarthy and I ers the off season as QB one.
Why wouldn't they just say McCarthy's our quarterback, We're not
looking at Aaron Rodgers anymore. It would literally be that simple,

(27:36):
but for some reason, and look and just and this
isn't like a shot at Tom Pelsero, because this is Schefter,
this is Ian Rappaport, this is Pelisera, this is everyone.
These guys now essentially copy and paste what an agent
or a source of someone kind of says, and they
can refute that. You can try to come at me
with all that. Doug Golli would probably put this on

(27:57):
his show or all that you've seen callous examples of
a mistake that have been made where guys have literally
copied and pasted and left some stuff in there. So
what I'm what I'm pointing out is someone wanted to
portray this message of we're not pursuing Aaron Rodgers at
this time for what reason? I have no idea, Like,

(28:17):
if you're going to commit to McCarthy, commit to him,
what is it at this time? Is there concern maybe
come off as injury, how he's recovering?

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Why is there concern that maybe what Aaron's asking for
where this whole thing is at, is too much for them,
they don't want to do it.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Like that that struck me as odd based on how
this is worded. And look, maybe I'm reading way too
much into this, but again, when you have the opportunity
to tweet something out that you know is going to
make its round, that is going to make news. I
think you're pretty careful about how you word things. I
think you worded them a certain way for a.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Reason, especially when you point out, look, we are going
to add a veteran quarterbacks, just not going to be him,
but JJ's our guy.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
I think they made that clear start.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well, they're gonna ad a veteran quarterback, but it is Rogers,
just not at this time.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Maybe, But I don't think that that's what it is.
I think they made their decision on JJ McCarthy when
they allowed Sam Donald to leave. For sure, that's when
the decision was made. Now where you go from there,
It's like, Okay, does this make sense bringing in Aaron Rodgers?

(29:29):
Does it make sense at what number? At what figure?
And are we bringing him in as a backup? Is
he is he fighting for the starting job? Or what
does this do to our draft pick? If we go
from Sam Donald who just had the season he had
to now bringing in Aaron Rodgers to be a starter
for what a year or two? What does that look like?

Speaker 2 (29:52):
You know?

Speaker 4 (29:53):
I just think that if you were going to go
with a veteran that was going to start for your team,
you hold on to Sam Donald and that could be
for one to two years, just like if you were
going to move on to Aaron Rodgers. Is one to
two years. You're coming off of a strong year with
Sam Donald. Sure it ended, you know, not the way

(30:15):
they would have liked it.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
For the end.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
But there's no reason to go away from that type
of success that you had. And Q you made some
good points about it the other day. Maybe they looked
at it and they were like, you know, character traits
or did he hit his ceiling? Did we stole one
with him? You know, and we were able to get
some value out of getting rid of them after one

(30:38):
year using them. Maybe that was the thought process, But
I think that that is very very that creates a
very topsy turby a very you know, kind of turbulent
type of environment. If that you're going to go from
Sam Donald to Aaron Rodgers as your starting quarterback, which
by the way, Sam Donald wasn't supposed to be the starter.

(31:00):
It was an open competition until the injury took place.
But he played well as a starter. And again, if
you're going to wait to play JJ McCarthy, why would
you allow Sam Darnold to walk? He was clearly valued,
he landed with a team. Why would you just allow

(31:20):
him to walk? And then, oh, by the way, now
we've created a situation where we need a quarterback, and
so now we're going to go get the highest profile
quarterback that's on the free agency market. I just don't
feel like that made a ton of sense or Daniel Jones,
and you let Daniel Jones walk the good point A

(31:42):
good point. Why do you not hold on to Daniel.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Jones Because Daniel Jones wants an opportunity to play, and
I think he went to a spot on a one
year deal that's going to give him the opportunity to
play or at least a better opportunity to compete, even
if he's not the first quarterback. And they give Anthony
Richardson the opportunity to start the season in Indianapolis at
the first sign of hey, I need a break and
come off the field injury, what have you. It could

(32:06):
be Daniel Jones's team and he can run with it.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
So you don't think that exists in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
He can't.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
He doesn't have just as good an opportunity to get
in there if it's him and JJ McCarthy going after it.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Not to resurrect his career, no, because if it's him
and JJ McCarthy going after it, like he might start
this year, but JJ McCarthy's a top ten pick. With Richardson,
you're in year three, like they've already been through it
where they've benched him for things and everything else. I
think there's a better chance if Daniel Jones goes in
plays well, they would then sign him to an extension

(32:37):
and then not commit tanthy Richardson on his fifth year
of his rookie deal, because he'd be going into year four.
You have to make that decision after year three, and
at that point in time it wouldn't be as punitive
to him. So I think it's two different situations. But
in regards to Rogers, I wonder if the Vikings got
tired of waiting, like there was an element of again
this whole at this time is like, yeah, maybe he

(33:00):
wanted to draw it out more, Maybe he needs more time.
Maybe there's some team saying like, look, man, it's March nineteenth,
today eighteenth, we've got to figure out our prepared for
the off season, like how we're gonna handle the draft,
how we're gonna handle the rest of free agency. We're
not gonna keep waiting around for you to make this decision,
and we're not gonna get into bidding war with the

(33:20):
New York Giants or Pittsburgh Steels or anyone else. So
this is where we're at. Like we heard Cam Heyward earlier,
maybe the Vikings had a similar sentiment to.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
All this and how they feel.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, well, hey, it could be good news for the Steelers,
you know, might get their guy after all.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
By the way, it is a little upsetting too. I
know you got to get to the read, but we're
not gonna get like the crocs and watch photo and
you had to follow exactly in the footsteps, which is
a little upsetting.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I know.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
I know that g shock that Lee pointed out yesterday.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I know I was still know in the end the
name of the watch that was in the photo, as
if he was really looking at the.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Watch it is told me back on his phone for
a while.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
By the way, if that really was indeed true, I mean,
are we asking to have him removed from the show
like that day or do we wait a day like
if that really is the is the truth show removals? Yeah,
that that came up to death that Lee. Is that
true that you had Brett Farve's picture as the background

(34:25):
on your phone, the infamous G shock picture.

Speaker 9 (34:29):
No, that is not true.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Is it true that you have boxer shorts with Brett
Farve's face on your boxers? No, that is true.

Speaker 9 (34:39):
But I wonder if those exist.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Is it true you wear them inside out just to
feel like.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Happy bird? Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Lee?

Speaker 9 (34:55):
No, that would not know.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Okay someone told me you do that? Than well I
do maybe backwards so you can eat.

Speaker 4 (35:01):

couch because you just felt like being on the couch.

Speaker 10 (38:37):
Well, I do snore, so sometimes I'm kicked off to
the couch, or somebody decides to just go sleep on
the couch themselves.

You're kicked off to the couch.

Speaker 10 (38:44):
Yeah, But I never mind if I am other than
