Let's give this part.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn,
Jonas Knox with you here. You can hang out with

hundreds of affiliates all across the country. Wherever you are
making us a part of your Friday morning, we appreciate

(00:49):
you doing so. We'll be taking you all the way
up until the end of this hour nine am Eastern time,
six o'clock Pacific. We open up the show talking about
the NBA playoff game last night. The Timberwolves get it done.
They even the series against the Golden State Warriors. Know
Steph Curry he's going to be out for obviously last
night's game. In games three and four, most likely Anthony Edwards,

(01:11):
he also looked like he was going to be out
for some time. He left with an ankle injury, did
return to the game, was able to finish the game,
so it does appear like they avoided any sort of
disaster there. And then there was Draymond Green, you know,
another technical foul for what looked to be a pretty
clear and obvious swipe to the face of nas Reed,

(01:32):
and Draymond said afterwards that he is, you know, tired
of being labeled the angry black man, which was which
sparked a conversation and we discussed the difference between that
and irritable white syndrome, which is irritable. So I think
LeVar was the one who made the point that it's

(01:52):
angry on one side but irritable on the other. Yeah,
I think that's what we've gone with there. So there
is that.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
But bows can get irritable too, Yeah, that's a syndrome
as well.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
It happens here daily with you know who. Now, there
was the there was the comments from Chris Finch, the
head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was talking about
Anthony Edwards after game one, and Chris Finch just said
something along the lines of, well, look, you know, he's

(02:26):
got to be better. We need him to set the tone, etc. Etc.
And I think we all agree that, Amen, if there
was one guy who you could probably call out, it
would be Anthony Edwards. And Chris Finch basically alluded to that.
He said that the Timberwolves were lucky that their best
players like Anthony Edwards were willing to be called out
when going over film, and Charles Barkley heard that from

(02:50):
Finch and had this to say. Now we can either
hear the shorter version or do you want the full throttle,
full clip, extended version of Charles barr Police comments on this.
You guys get to choose.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
It sounds like that's what you want. I mean, you
really hyped up the full clip.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm just saying, all right, So here's the full clip
of Charles Barkley addressing players and the difference between coaching
and criticism in the NBA nowadays.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
The notion that today's players are such woosies that they
can't get criticized is so crazy to me. Every first
of all, every bad player and every great player should
want to get coached. And it's not criticism, it's coaching.
And it's so frustrating when you know when people are like, man,

(03:38):
I can't believe he called out this guy.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm like, that's his job. Question. Can you not believe.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
That that that that you had to ask him? Yeah,
and I'm not taking that you I'm talking like, yo, man,
he played awful. Yeah, and first of all, he invited
to smoke. We want the Warriors. We can say whatever
it was. He is one of the best players in
the league. He can't score one pet point, one point

(04:05):
and a home opener of a series without Steph Curry.
He said he's the leader. People gonna follow him. That's
the bad thing about being the man. They gonna follow you,
good or bad. And what he was trying to say
was when Anthony was struggling, his energy was down, light
went out, as he said, and the rest of the
team followed because they were already they were down ten

(04:28):
before Steph got hurt.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
But the notion I get.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
So frustrated, like, no, man, coach your team, get on
everybody's ass. That's part of coaching. Don't worry about hurting
That's the thing I love about Greg Popovich that Tim
Duncan and Jenoblen Parker always Dave Robins said, he yelled
at all of us because what that does is as
a coach, it keeps your credibility because if you ain't
gonna yell at me and Shaq, you can't yell at Kenny.

(04:53):
You can't do that. You can't yell at the guys.
You said, well, Anthony can get away with anything. You
ain't gonna never win like that if you let your
best player get away with stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
So that was Charles Barkley last night on TNT in
response to some of the blowback that Chris Finch got
for trying to quote unquote call out Anthony Edwards after
Game one. And I just remember thinking at the time, dude,
he'll wear that. That's fine. But I knew, based on
how the NBA has covered that, people were going to think, oh, well,

(05:26):
you know he's calling out his player. You don't do that.
He's going to have a problem with what he said.
He he said, I need to play better. He said
it hisself, and he did. I don't I don't understand
what the fallout of it is from. It's because he's
a star player, and there's a feeling that you should

(05:47):
keep that stuff behind closed doors. But Phil Jackson used
to do this all the time, like coaches have done
this all the time. It just seems like nowadays if
you do that, it becomes fodder for Well, that's not
the way you address it with a star player. That's
not how you handle with a star player and then player.
You've seen coaches get canned because the star player doesn't
get along with the coach, like Mike Malone, Like how

(06:10):
many coaches in the NBA, And these are guys that
have just won titles recently, but if there's an issue
with the star player, they got to go. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
My question is is who are the people pushing back
the media as who you're responding to, of course, and
here's the problem is we're part of the media. I
would never push back on hearing that. And it might
just be my solo experience of being coached and coached

(06:40):
hard or coached by coaches that really wanted to hold
the element of culture, you know, so so tight that
it didn't matter how talented you were. So you know,
when I hear that, I'm never bothered by it. I
never pushed back on it. I'm like, good, that's great.
He knows his team and he knows the character and

(07:04):
who these people are better than anyone on the outside,
and so for anyone on the outside to criticize, they're
just doing that to get clicks. They're doing that because
they have to do something, they have to write about something,
and so instead of talking about the actual game itself,
which they're again probably don't know as well as Chris Finch,
they have to talk about how he's treating people because

(07:25):
that's more relatable to them. It's more relatable to most
people who are going to click and read. And then
you ponder the conversation of like, is it okay to
call someone out? Is it okay to, you know, take
issue with the performance or the effort of someone that
you work with or that you're coaching and put it
on blast like this. The truth of the matter is

(07:47):
he's the type of coach I said this back when
he talked about the subject. I know him, I've gotten
to know him. He's not gonna say anything public. He's
not saying to them behind closed doors. And I know
there's times there's coaches who will say things publicly that
maybe they haven't said to the player, haven't said behind
closed doors. I'm not an advocate for that, but I
would say the majority of the times I've ever heard

(08:10):
a coach say something while I was playing or while
I was covering teams, they're always having a private conversation
to let that individual know exactly what the expectations are
and where they're at with them. And so anything said
that that said publicly has already been addressed, already talked about,
So it doesn't come as a surprise, it doesn't come
as a shock. I am sure Anthony Edwards was not shocked,

(08:34):
was not upset by it. And here's the other part
of it all. Anthony Edwards, who are flipping love by
the way, like I just I love everything about his demeanor.
Who is as a person, player, et cetera. Well, maybe
not some of the stuff off the court, but as
a player, as a player. Walk that back for a second.

(08:55):
I was we got locked down, I got I got
a little too deep.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Got back.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
It feels like our Brazil trip we're talking about that
enough gets stuck.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
That exists over there too, by the way, I.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Know, I know.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
To the back to the initial point is he's hard
on himself, Like he's probably harder on himself than his
coaches as far as his performance and effort and things
he didn't do right, things he should have done.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
So to have the coach say something publicly, it's like, okay, whatever,
I've already mentally beat myself up about it, so I
can psych myself up to get ready for the next opportunity,
so I can motivate myself for the next opportunity. I mean,
that's part that the media, if they're the ones who
are calling out Chris Finch or had taking issue with it,

(09:47):
that they don't understand is the athlete's taking it harder
than anyone. The coach knows his athlete better than anyone,
and he's the one that's you know, know, knows exactly
what he's doing in this instance. So I didn't have
an issue with it. If the media does, it's just
because they're unrelatable, you know, to being in that environment,

(10:08):
being that athlete or being that coach in that capacity too.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, I think people do get it mixed up quite
a bit. What their relationship dynamic is is between them,
the players and the coaches. Now, the only time that
I would say that it does become a situation in
the public is if one of them makes it a situation,
meaning it's not calling out. Okay, he's a leader, his

(10:34):
light was dim. If his light is dim, they're going
to follow him. Like it's more like if you're calling
them out and it's not in respect. Yeah, this makes sense.
Like like, for instance, if you were to say, you
know what, if he wasn't out partying all night last
night the night before and showed up on time for

(10:56):
the shoot around and got on to the court on
time and these things, we wouldn't be dealing with the
problems that we're dealing with right now.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
But Anthony Edwards.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Is clearly a me me first guy, Like he like,
if you came at it from a element of like,
I'm disgusted by your your actions and your lack of attention.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
What if you come at it that way. And if
a coach or if a player does that, like.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
He has no grounds to tell me what I need
to do or this, that and the other, like, that's different.
That's different. But if a coach is saying basically that
this guy is so important to our team that if
he doesn't come out and start fast or if he
comes out and for some reason his energy is off
or his energy goes down, that that that impacts everybody.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
If like there's disrespect, there's criticism, there's constructive criticism. What
he gave him was constructive criticism. This helps our team
if he does this. I think it was a challenge. No,
and I don't even know that it was a criticism.
I think it was even more so an observation of
what he saw from his team. And I don't think

(12:09):
that that's incorrect to be able to speak on what
your observation of your team was. I observed that my
star player had some things he wanted to get done
in the in the early parts of the game, he
wasn't able to get it, and it looked as though
his light dimmed and and our our players followed suit

(12:33):
because they follow Anthony Edwards like done. That's not that's
not a criticism. A criticism is Anthony Edwards came out here,
he had things in his mind that he had an
agenda that he wanted to get done, and he didn't
get it done. And the way he can get that

(12:53):
done is he's got to make sure that instead of
trying to force shots or force the three. You got
to take what's given to you. You got to make
sure that in these moments that you're keeping your keeping
your teammates involved and engaged, and making sure you're making
the best decisions. You gave a criticism right there. That's
that's a critique of what you saw him do. He

(13:17):
gave him a challenge. Don't allow your light to dim,
even if it doesn't go the way that you hoped
for it to go or wanted it to go, don't
let your energy level go down because you have to
challenge yourself to understand that not only does your energy
go down, but the rest of our team's energy goes down.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
They feed off of you. That's a come up. And
any athlete, competitor of the highest level, maybe not even
at the highest level, if you're a competitor and you
hear your coach challenge you, that's a come up. So
accept the challenge.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
And they did. They responded, They came out and they
started fast. We could say it was cause Steph or
he wasn't out there to slow him down or anything
like that. There wasn't no real fight back other than
Draymond elbow and nads in the face but they did respond,
So I don't you know, to make it try to

(14:14):
make it into a thing would be That's that's kind
of you know, remedial. I've always thought that's got to
be one of the most difficult things in coaching, and
you guys alluded to it that Look, he knows he
can take it. That's why he knows him better than
anybody to be able to do that with an entire
locker room, to know that guy needs to be addressed
this way. I need to approach it this way with

(14:35):
this guy. That guy's going to take it that like,
to be able to know that and know your players
the way that you do and coach. You know, great
coaches have talked about it, like there's certain players that
you can have real hard conversations with and certain I
think you guys have even talked about parenting. There's certain
you know, one kid handles one thing a different way.
One one kid handles things a different way that he

(14:55):
knows he's navigated that locker room and successfully like they've
and a good team. Anthony Edwards is his leader and
he knows that's exactly what But when you turn on
following comments like that, you see things like was he
had a line for criticizing Anthony Edwards the way to know,
like that's his locker room. He knows exactly how those
guys are going to respond. So it just felt like

(15:16):
it was unnecessary blowback. Speaking of unnecessary, how about Tyrese
Haliburton getting warned for doing the big balls? Dude, they
were he had some big ones on that one. Okay,
now they're saying, well, he wasn't fined. Other players have
been fined for it. He shouldn't have even been warned.
It's the NBA playoffs. Can we like color outside the

(15:36):
lines just a little bit here? Like can we have amotion? Yes?
And he's trying to he's paying tribute to in all fairness,
a mediocre sequel to a great movie. Major League two
was not good, but he's paying tribute to it. In Cleveland,
he goes big balls after he hits a big shot,
and then he's got to get warned for it. Ridiculous.

(15:59):
And while now should he should he play the same
card that Draymond played to try and that angry black man.
Should he go that route to try and see if
he can get away with it again? He is that justified,
then maybe I'm just saying.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
I mean, and if he did, I just say, you
leverage the black man card. Not angry like like you're
you're attacking the black man, you know what I mean,
like like, this is an attack on on us, the
entire race of black people. And if he does that,
if he does that, then he can create social outrage,

(16:38):
which ultimately leads to all of the mock outrage of
if it were a white man that did the big
balls gesture after winning the game, that this wouldn't have happened.
But because he is a black man in America, that
is the reason why there was so many people outraged

(17:00):
by the fact that he did the big balls gesture
after winning the game. And then if he does that,
then the NBA has to be afraid of doing anything
against them. Or if he says, I identify as a big.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Some big balls. I identify as big balls, and that's
why I did that, then they cannot say for certain
that that was anything else other than him acknowledging what
he identifies as. It's all about it's all about the

(17:42):
positioning of what it is that you're doing and saying,
And who are we to tell him differently?

Speaker 4 (17:48):
I mean, I mean, if we're being honest, if we're
if we're really being honest.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
I'm with you hashtag inclusive.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I mean you you run the risk of social justice
coming your way if if you do not acknowledge the
fact that he identified as big nuts.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
By the way, when when Reggie Miller, when when he
scored the nine points in eight seconds or whatever it was,
choked put his arm around there. So when he was
doing the choking strangler? All right, did that get fined?
Leek you looked at was Reggie Miller fine for using
the choking symbol with his hands on his neck? Because

(18:28):
I know I think it was. Was it? mL car
Or said cornbread? Maxwell did it back in the day
as well too, And I don't believe they were fine
for it.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
I've never understood the idea of putting bravery and doing
something that's really like takes like intestinal fortitude to get done. Like,
why is that associated with big nuts? I've never understood
that question. Since we're on the conversation in the topic,

(19:01):
I've never understood why does that equate to you being
a bad ass?

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Is the size of your nuts? Just never never understood.
That's a great point.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's it's a. It's just an expression.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
You know, It's like, but where did the expression ball?

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Like, did somebody in history take some balls to do that?

Speaker 3 (19:21):
You know, I get that.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
But if your ball ball took on a lion with
like a big old sack.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
That's what it had to have been. Somebody did something
really brave in history and and everybody saw what they
were packing. What makes him different? Oh?

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Oh oh yeah, I mean I had to be what.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
It is, right, And he's got straight ball gang. Guy's
got to duffle back, you know. Hey, that's the guy.
You know, there's some people that can crack nuts. By
the way, you know.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
This is Jones's wheelhouse. See how many things he's going
to spin off of this? Keep going? Just keep going,
A man, what do you mean what I had to
keep going? Do your thing?

Speaker 3 (20:02):
I'm not doing anything?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Okay, what else does it look like?

Speaker 3 (20:06):
You know, he's got boxing gloves on his belt buckle.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Stupid?

Speaker 3 (20:12):
What Lee? So Reggie Miller not fine for the choking gesture?

Speaker 7 (20:18):
Correct, he was not fine, not warned.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I'll bet he wasn't even warned either. So more of
the story.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Is we need to start finding Lee.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
By the way, hold on, why is that.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Why not. There's plenty of reasons.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
I actually did a whole Jeopardy game on on finding
earlier today for Ben Maller.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Uh did you go hey, did you drink yesterday?

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Lee?

Speaker 7 (20:42):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Lee? Come on, you didn't have anything?

Speaker 7 (20:48):
No? Lee, No, I didn't have No. I did not, Lee,
I did not.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
I did not.

Speaker 7 (20:56):
Do you not choke her lead? It's nothing, that's a
movie reference.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
He turned. Do you swear?

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing about the truth?

Speaker 7 (21:07):
I do swear.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Did you lick the lid yesterday? No? Not one? Not
one drink? Not one drink lye nope nothing.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
I don't believe it.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
No, I'm actually racking my brain like I don't believe
it either.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
That's a good point, I must add.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
Yeah, the day's blend together, but yeah, the moment of clarity.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
No, there's a reason they blend together. I don't. I
don't believe it. One because I've I know Thursdays are
a good day for you usually.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
So yeah, plus it like this is your last double
duty day, so you're like, you know, I got one
more left in me? Why not? Wait? Hold on? Not
a Uh?

Speaker 7 (21:46):
The funny thing is I did do a uh, I
did do a sports Jeopardy with Ben Maller earlier about
famous taunting fines and I was surprised that I didn't
think of Reggie Miller because he wasn't fine.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, but that what does that have to do with
that yesterday?

Speaker 7 (22:03):
Well, because it was on Tyree's Haliburt and it was
all based off how Tyres Haliburton.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
So I did a.

Speaker 7 (22:10):
Whole bunch of research on Marshaun Lenz, Sean, John Moran,
Jimmy Graham, the Dumbles, Lenn.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Jesus, she is is that real?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
She has right leg too?

Speaker 7 (22:26):
What is going on?

Speaker 3 (22:29):
What is why I've never seen a boulder with hair?

Speaker 7 (22:33):
Elephant Titus is real?

Speaker 4 (22:35):
That's correct that we mus be badass though, because he's.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Not the change subjects. But can you give us an
update from Pete prisco on, like what's happening on?

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Should we tease it or should we? Yeah, it's it's
really teased worthy Jonas. Okay, I mean if you want
to tease, I can tease it.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
You tease it.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, we go coming up next here on two and
a Cup of Joe. There's a story that's gone on
and on in the NFL, and we finally have an answer.
That's next.

Speaker 8 (23:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up a little over fifteen minutes from now, we are
going to have another edition of Lee's Leftovers. That'll be
yours here as we wrap up this football Friday. Here
on the show, we were waiting to see what the uh,
what the that's the hell of a stiff farm unbelievable.

(23:51):
Oh my god, by long Yo, negoye yamanty, we miss
you bow. So we were waiting, what's it going to be?

(24:14):
It wasn't going to be fifty six, it wasn't going
to be eleven, but what would it be? Carlos Emmons,
Pete Prisco, our good buddy sent the following tweet a
short time ago. Wow, Abdul Carter has a number. Now
I can get on with my life, bam. And as
was reported earlier. The number will be fifty one, fifty

(24:37):
one yep, so ah, he gets he gets half of
the sticks. And then he also gives you a little
bit of a tribute because you were fifty five with
the Giants, so a five and a one. Carlos Emmons
wore fifty one when I was there. That's a good number.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well, you were also fifty six, right, so I will
five in Washington. Yeah, yeah, fifty six.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Five to five. So so, Abdul, now that we've got
out of the way, that was really I feel like.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
That's a superhero number. Though it's kind of sad. Man
number makes the difference. Man, I never felt all the
way comfortable in fifty six nine and eleven felt good. Man,
I put that nine on. I just felt I felt
clean with that nine. So I put that eleven on.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I know he asked LT for fifty six, right, and
LT said no, he asked Phil Simms for eleven.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
I heard he did the reports say he did. So
apparently Phil Simms was good with it, and then and
Chris Simms talked about it that he was like, okay,
that's fine. And apparently phil Simms's wife and daughter got
really upset about it, and yeah, that's what Chris Simms
was saying that they were almost like basically in tears,

(25:49):
like you can't let him do this, you can't do it.
And so phil Simms called it back and just said
I don't know and just said I got out voted
like it was really important. And phil Simms didn't carr.
He's like, yeah, whatever, take it.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
But I'm just gonna say, I mean, I think it's
like it's a compliment, right, it is a It is
a compliment in the sense, you know, like your numbers
retired and just so they're bringing it out some someone
else can have it. Then that's how highly that person
thinks of you, they think of the person that's gonna
follow in your footsteps in that number. I mean, I
don't see this.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
I looked at it like this though. When I heard
it was the family that was like, we don't want this.
The first thing I thought was what if phil Simms
had passed away, if he was to get that.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
But he's still alive, so his opinion should be the
only one that matters.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
But if he's basing his opinion off of the way
his family feels about what it represents, to them. Then
I get where Phil Simms is coming from.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I get that. Like if he's like, look for me,
I don't care, like make it better, push it forward?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Great, do you.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
But if the family is like, that's a part of
our legacy, that's a part of what what we hold,
you know, dear to us, what you represent it in
the game of football to this team in particular.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
I get it. I get it.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
I really do, because I mean in dealing with like,
my kids are like basically outside of my nine year old,
they're like adults now.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
So when I talk to them, it's like talking to
normal people. It's the weirdest thing.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
But you got to make sense of the fact that
they have their own sense, they have their own type
of reasoning and stuff like that, and you can't just
say I'm your dad, Like you have to have some
type of information that validates what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
And that's pretty I think it's pretty cool, but it's.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Kind of it gets kind of scary too, you know
that man, Like they think like they get it, like, okay,
so if my kids told me that they didn't want
something like that, say, I had a ceremony. We did it.
We went through the ceremony, they retired it. It's done.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Boom boom boom, and they said, we don't want it unretired,
and it's because of what it means to our family.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
I'm I'm okay with it. I wouldn't. I'd say I'm sorry, like, yeah,
I'm okay with you wearing it, but you know they're not.
So it is what it is. That's apparently how it
went down with the Sims. Or here's another idea. You
could just not retire that many jerseys. You could do that,
you know, maybe think ahead. I mean, look at Matthew
Golden of the Packers. He's a wide receiver. He's going

(28:27):
number twenty two. That's that's the most disgusting wide receiver
number I've ever heard of it because it's like you're
looking at a running back doesn't make any routes number twenty.
You're gonna get a Matthew Golden number twenty two jersey,
a wide receiver wearing twenty two. That's like when Doug
Flutie was wearing twenty.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
I already have I already have an Aaron Ripkowski number
twenty two, who was a fullback for the Packers, because I.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Like you did about drinking last year.

Speaker 7 (28:52):
Well, I collect fullback jerseys for the packers, so I
already have a twenty two something.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
He doesn't want to He doesn't want to do it.
That's a lot of doing. He's not taking the bait.
Did I tell you dially.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Fake it till you make it?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Baby?

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Whoa that's gonna say drank.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Something?

Speaker 7 (29:14):
Can you smell his crop dust too?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Telling me about it?

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Lie?

Speaker 3 (29:19):
You had to have at least a drink yesterday?

Speaker 7 (29:22):
Nope, I swear.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Man, What do you want me to do?

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Everyone's questioning your smelling?

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Now help us out, LaVar. If you okay, LaVar, You're
You're back in Vegas. It's the Super Bowl from over
a year ago, and except this time you're not going
to ask me to go make a bed for you.
That's gonna ultimately end up in a loss because we
got screwed out of a decision. We did get screwed.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
We did.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
But they say, did Lee have a drink yesterday? At
least one? What would your bet be? Oh?

Speaker 4 (29:55):
I would say no, you said at least one, Yeah,
it would been at least four, five or six, So
I would have said, that's absolutely wrong.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
You didn't have a pool day. It was a beautiful day.
I wanted to I can't lie and say what did
you replace what your normal habit of what you do?
What did you replace it with?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Lee?

Speaker 3 (30:19):
What did you do?

Speaker 7 (30:20):
Yes, I slept in because it's been a long week
on Friday for us.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
That's fair.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yep, So I slept in longer than I ever have. Okay,
then what did you do once you woke up? Because
if you slept in, that means you had more rest.
If you had more rest, that means that you were
more I immediately wanted to go back to sleep. I
finished up some long work emails I needed to get
to and uh, yeah, I mean not to make it.

Speaker 7 (30:44):
I can't give you any fun stuff. It was boring day.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
I had to chase to chase the dog all you
did not sleep all day and answer all all long
emails all day I had to chase.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
That was the exciting part is that my neighbor's got
a new dog. They asked me to come visit the dog.
And this wasn't my neighbor, it was my parents neighbor.
And I went to go visit the dog and it
ran down the street and I had to chase it
through traffic.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Huh.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
Yeah, now I'm spending my leftovers. But these were his
leftovers for sure. And then I made and then I
made a spaghetti dinner.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Oh god, and you didn't have like one glass of
red wine or beer.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
I almost went to the good night before work, but
I didn't because there was a good There was a
good there was a good bye. There was a goodbye
party for a good friend of mine who's moving to Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
And what time did you come in?

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Ten o'clock?

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Ten o'clock. Yeah, I don't buy it. I mean it
feels good. It's like I want to buy what you're saying.
I don't buy it. There was some type of beer.

Speaker 7 (31:55):
I think if you're if you're asking, if i'm I
might be hidden the wall because it's been a long week.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
No, I'm not asking are you hitting the I'm asking
are you hitting the bottle? Listen, we've kicked this idea
around before. You guys think I can't go one day
without it? Did you hear the one you just said?
They think I could go one day without a drink? Okay? No,
hell listen, we've kicked this idea around before, and he's happen.
We need a breathalyzer on the show. That's what we need.
That's I'm gonna get it.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
I like that idea.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Well, we're gonna use it on you too. Though. It's
like when when Howard Stern. When Howard Stern had that
invisible scale, so when a guest came out, he's like, oh,
let me take a look at you. You look great.
They it was their scale underneath them, so put their
weight on the screen. We've got to have some sort
of way that we can get a breathalyzer in here
where we can find out who's telling the truth. All right,

(32:44):
get to the bottom of this. I mean we're all
going to do it? Are we all going to do it?
I have no life? Yeah, me neither no life. Two

the streets yesterday, and I tricked one of them through
the streets, through the streets, and I tricked one of
them to button hook and I found it and it

(34:47):
was trying to run away from me. But I caught
it and it crapped itself in the middle of the street,
and I had to carry it back home.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Why do you have to do this?

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Well? Because I was able to do it, nobody else could.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
It's it's like I'm hoa all over again.

told wait, wait, wait, hey, get back what well, I
might as well go get a drink while I'm mouth Well.

Speaker 7 (35:23):
The problem was the problem was the dog wait, justin

dog was running away from me, so I was yelling
at his owner. I was like, you go after him?

Speaker 5 (35:38):

Speaker 7 (35:39):
And he was like barefoot and so he was a
lot slower. And he's just slower in general.

A little tarry? They got three They got three rescue
dogs at the same time, which is a problem.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
I think the dogs was like, wait, wait, we're not
in a kennel right now, yeah, we're not on a lease.
Like after those dogs, after two blocks, you turn it
over to the traffic gods and you just say, hey,
is what it is? They want to play frog or
