Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh, what's going on? Militia hoopball is well?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Hope this uh Friday morning is treating you delightfully. We'll
have some epic audio for you. Have a special guest.
We got a lot to get to jam packed final hour.
So the first thing, I'm just gonna lead with the best, Okay,
So I'll tell you the story and then I'll get
to the epic audio.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
So the story NBA wise that caught my attention on
Thursday would be og n Nobi, who has played great
basketball for the Knicks. He's crushing it and he's got
a right hamstring string and it's like, uh, oh, is
(00:49):
this the beginning of the demise of the Knicks where
everything looks great, the fan base is completely out of
their minds giddy, and then it just doesn't quite work
out and they don't even get to the finals. Now
he has been diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain. This
(01:11):
is not to believe. This is not believed to be
this significant injury that's gonna greatly hamper him going forward.
He's believed to be He's questionable for Game three on
Friday night, as the Knicks are trying to take a
commanding three to zero series lead. He's questionable for Game three.
He's believed to be day to day. That's what we
(01:33):
know as of right now. But you know, hammy injuries
are tricky, very tricky. You go back with og two
seasons ago. It's the Eastern Conference semi finals against the Pacers.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
He had a hamstring strain.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
He missed game three, game four, Game five, and game six.
He attempted to play in Game seven and he lasted
about five minutes and they pulled him out. And so
not all hamstring strains are the same. But if you're
a Knicks fan and you hear og Ananobi hamstring strain
(02:11):
when you got bitten royally by basically the same injury,
maybe not the same severity, but same injury two years ago,
that would make any Knicks fan think, oh, oh, that's
not good. That's not what we're looking for right here.
And that's the reality at this stage now. He has
crushed it what he's been able to do for the Knicks.
(02:34):
Just his last game so game two, twenty four points,
five rebounds, force, steals, and a block, played thirty seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Pretty good, rights, that's great, that's excellent. You take that
every time if you're the Knicks. And he had to
leave the game.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
He left with just under three minutes to go. So
he walked off the court gingerly after a dunk attempt,
and he motioned to the bench. He's like, yeah, I
need a I'm gonna need out of this freaking game
over here. And so like mckel bridges hit a jumper
and the Knicks took a four point lead with about
three minutes to go, and there was no more ogn
(03:15):
andob on the court.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
For the Knicks. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It doesn't seem to be the most mild of injuries,
and it doesn't seem to be the most severe of injuries.
Somewhere in between how much time he misses, how greatly
he's affected. Let's just say he plays game three. Is
he putting up twenty four points, five rebounds, forced deals
in a block? I don't think so. But is he
(03:41):
the other question is he played thirty seven minutes last game?
How many minutes is he playing in game three? Is
he playing in Game three? That's the other thing. You
got a two to zero series lead. It's not like
you can afford to just punt games left and right.
But you've got to think about the bigger picture here too.
Does it make sense to rush back out on the
court when he's had these hammy issues in the past
(04:05):
and you have a two zero series lead and you
might be able to win a game without him out there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So you got a weigh all this stuff now.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
But it comes into the equation not the greatest situation
to be in if you're the New York Knicks. So
I hope that he's fine. I hate when any athlete
is injured. It's the worst. Injuries and sports are the worst.
But we'll see, we'll see going forward. And it's not
like the Sixers are gonna, you know, have any sympathy
(04:34):
tears for the Knicks when they just had Joel Embiid
miss Game two. So it's just the nature of the
playoffs man, injuries. Injuries make a huge impact. It seems
like year in and year out in the playoffs, this
is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And that's what's crazy too.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
With the Thunder, they keep rolling on ahead without Jalen Williams,
the J A. L. E. N. Santa Clara, Jalen Williams,
the guy who's dropping forty points in a final game. Yeah,
that guy, they haven't had him in this series against
the Lakers, hadn't mattered at all. Thunder one Game one
by eighteen. They won Game two on Thursday night by
(05:09):
eighteen points. So yeah, like the Lakers lose Luka Doncic
over forget it, probably won't even win a game the
Thunder lose. Jalen Williams, It's fine. We're still winning by
eighteen points, left and right, business as usual. They're just
a machine man, they're crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
But we'll see.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
We'll see if it's thunder Spurs next round. Don't want
to get too far ahead of ourselves, but that'd be
a heck of a series if that's what we're looking at. Okay,
So the epic audio, it does tie into og Nanobi's injury.
I think, at least in my mind is I saw
this tweet. It was from Brick Center and they just
(05:49):
put this little highlight video together of Nick fans losing
their minds after a Game two win against the Sixers.
So this is Wednesday night, the Knicks pull it out,
epic game. They're twenty five lead changes in that game
on on Wednesday night, So the Nicks win it, and
(06:12):
the fan base you can imagine they're they're kind of
uh fired up, you know, a little bit boisterous. You
could say, listen to these uh these highlights of Nick
fans just going crazy, or check this out.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Ort Nick.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Jalb Bruton the ego.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Now, first things first, right, you might not think this
is the most high brow of audio you've ever heard
in your life. You know, it doesn't sound like Rhodes
scholars just breaking down the action they just saw. You know,
it seems a little bit more barbaric than that. But
what if what if you mixed this little highlight compilation,
(07:09):
if you will, with some classical music, you know what
I mean? If you sort of highbrow this audio up,
do you hear it from a different point of view,
if you will? Right, So that's what we've done over here.
We threw some classical music underneath this and let's hear
(07:30):
you know, phrases like f the liberty bell and maybe
it sounds a little bit more distinguished at that point.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't know. Let's try it out here.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
You go check it out.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And I don't know that sounds very high brow to me.
I don't know it is just me. It sounds very exquisite, right.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It sounds like it's like the old Charles Barkley deodorant commercials.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What did he say?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He was like anything anything less or else, anything less
would be uncivilized. I think that's what he said. It
was the old school Barkley deodorant commercials. Yeah, that's what
it makes me think of, you know, the nick fans
losing their minds with classical music underneath. Yeah, it does.
It sounds very much higher brow at that stage. Yeah,
(08:50):
I think we dressed it up quite nicely there, very
nicely done. Now, while we're continuing the epic audio, how
about Lebron James playing his three hundredth career playoff game.
That's what happened on Thursday night. Now, it didn't go
down the way Lebron would have wanted. Lakers, although they
had a lead at halftime. Lakers won the first half.
(09:12):
If you took the Lakers money line first half.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Cash it four to one.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Baby, I didn't even think about doing that, but they
got there. Lakers were ahead fifty eight to fifty seven
at halftime, and then the third quarter happened and the
Thunder outscored him by fourteen points and that was the
beginning of the end.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
For the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
But in honor of Lebron, you know, playing his three
hundredth career playoff game, I think it's only fitting to
try to figure out what the best audio cut is
from the epic movie three hundred, right, So of course
there's this one. Come on, don't you want to kick
(09:55):
someone in the mouth with let's go Gerard Butler, that's fine,
and this one his top shelf as well. Yeah, that
was Lebron on Thursday night, dining in Hell as a
three hundredth career playoff game, but an eighteen point loss. Yeah,
didn't work out for the Lake Show. But hey, for
(10:18):
what it's worth, the Lakers they had words at the
end of the game with the officials. You had Austin
Reeves and really the whole team in general surround the
officiating crew, and they were whatever bringing something to their attention,
whether it's SGA getting foul calls or them not getting
(10:40):
the same whistle or this, and I don't know, I
don't know, but they had words with the officials and
let them know.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Whatever was on their mind.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And I can't say if the Lakers got every favorable
call in Game three. Maybe they would only lose by
like seven, maybe, but do winning games.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
This is a freaking wrap man. They're just not on
the Okay C's level.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You get stan Van Gundy put it best when the
Lakers don't have their point guard in Luka Doncic. You
gotta generate offense in other ways. You gotta move around
like crazy. You gotta pass the ball like crazy. It's
gonna lead to turnovers galore. Lakers turn it over twenty times.
OKAYC scored twenty seven points off of twenty Laker turnovers.
(11:27):
Lakers don't have a point guard, and okay, see, all
they do is turn you over. And they turn live
ball turnovers into points very well, like either wide open threes,
finishing at the rim. It's a disaster. It just is
all right.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Our special guest is ready. Are you militia? Are you
ready for this?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
How about the great Lorena live in the Greater Boston area,
checking in with the making time in the wee hour. God,
this is beautiful, Lorena Howard.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Thanks, Oh, it's.
Speaker 7 (12:03):

Speaker 8 (12:04):
The sun is actually coming up right now, which is
totally wild because I feel like I should be in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Still, but this is so cool.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
I've never been on the East coast like this.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You've never been on the East coast like this? What
does that mean?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yeah, well I've been to Florida, but someone said that
that doesn't count.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, that's not the East. No.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, like technically it's it's East, but it's not the East.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Like, that's that's where you are, your Boston, New York.
You know, that's the Philly. That's the East. Yeah, that's
East coast.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
So my flight was supposed to get in at.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Nine to thirty last night, and apparently there was maintenance
issues with the.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Plane, so my plane got delayed almost seven hours.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh jeez, seven So are you just hanging in the
airport that long?
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:53):

all day.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah wow, So yeah, hanging out in the car for
a little while.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Yeah, But the flight was really smooth. I'm glad I
made it to Boston.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
I'm so excited for the meet and greet tonight.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Now to fill us in because a little birdie told
me there was an escalator situation and you had to
be rescued by a random stranger who was a husky
type fellow if you will.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Yeah, So I had just gotten my bags and I'm
going up the escalator. So you know when you put
your bag up on.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
The steps, right, Yeah, Well, my bag was like halfway
on the step, and in my effort to twist it
to get it all the way on the step, my
bag actually started to fall. And it's very heavy. I
had two bags backs on top of each other, so
in my effort to try and save it, I felt
myself falling for I said.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I'm going down.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
No, did you Are you serious? You said that?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
I mean I went down two the stairs and there's luckly,
like you know, you sam kind of far enough behind someone.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
That you're not facing the butt.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Right, You're like far enough behind.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
So that's exactly where he was.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
My bag went between his legs and I fell into
him and I was like, oh, I'm so glad you

Speaker 7 (14:31):
So that was fun.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Wow, you can check that right off the list right there. Yeah,
and you didn't even fall. That's the best way to
fall where someone caught you.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Yeah, exactly, And yeah, I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I'm glad he was as close.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
As he was so especially for that time in the morning.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
But yeah, that you realize that could have been a
whole thing. You coulda whatever, you're gonna hit your head,
you could have broken an arm, like, thank goodness, talk.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
About an IR report or yeah, no, that would have
been wild.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But I miss you guys.
Speaker 7 (15:02):

there to catch you.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh god.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Yeah, what thankful timing on that was. But I hope
that we remember most of the trip too, because you know,
it does get a little wild at these meet and greets.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Hey man, when you're with Coop, all bets are off.
He's a wild stadium. Outside of the studio, you wouldn't
even recognize him. He's crazy, wild man. That's right, all right, Lorena.

great Lorena. What a what a? What a quote I'm
going down. Oh, thank goodness, she got caught.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Man, I don't know what I would say if I was,
if I was losing it. I don't know that I
would say anything like listen, the guy thing is when
you get stuck bench pressing, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Like, that's the true test.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
If no one spot you and whatever you're repping out,
whatever you're repping out, you try to do one more
and it's just not happening.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Everybody knows what I'm talking about. You get to that.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
If you get halfway and you get past that little level,
you're good.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But there are times you get halfway and you're like.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
It's fifty to fifty, and then you're like, that's not happening,
and it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Just goes down. That's the that's the test of what
you're gonna say, Like, well, you don't like that sort
of thing, but man, I'm going down. Thank goodness, she
got caught. All right?

(19:31):
Adam Crowley. He's on ninety three to seven to fan
and he's got some things to say about one Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
This is not a drill.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It was real.
Speaker 10 (19:43):
Aaron Rodgers expected to be in town tonight with the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Expectation of him signing this weekend. This is a big one.
This is the real thing, folks. Yep, not speculation. This
is what we have been told.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, so listen, I get it. You're hosting a Pittsburgh
radio show. Aaron Rodgers is gonna be there better than
they drafted. What's our guy Aller out of Penn State.
You wouldn't be fired up about that third round pick?
Look like a disaster at Penn State injured? You know, So,
(20:19):
Mason Rudolph, you know, it's like, all right, Will Howard
Drew Aller.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's like, yeah, this is just big news for.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
If you're in the Pittsburgh area, if you're a Steelers fan,
I get why you'd be excited. I gotta be honest
with you, guys, as of right now in May, they
might be different when the season rolls around, But as
of right now in May, I am totally and utterly
checked out on all things Aaron Rodgers man, I am
(20:47):
checked out. Anytime there are a couple of promos that
are playing, it's like, hey, so the big news is
Aaron Rodgers, and I'm just like, after I hear Aaron Rodgers,
all I hear in my head is like, b I
don't hear anything. It's like, oh my gosh, freaking guy,
I can't take it. All right, we see, we thought
he'd be with the Steelers. Looks like he's destined to
(21:08):
be with the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
They're kind of be ten and six, nine and seven, Well, wait,
I'm sorry. Those are old records right there.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
They would be ten and seven, nine and eight, something
like that. Right, We're up to seventeen games now and
quick exit in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I mean, that's what it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, they're a little bit of excitement with you know.
They picked up Michael Pittman junior from the Colts to
be opposite of DK Metcalf. They drafted Jeremy Bernard from
Alabama in the second round, who I liked a lot
in college. And they got the kid out of Iowa
as a returner slash slot receiver fourth rounder. So you know, listen,
(21:52):
don't I don't think the Steelers are going anywhere significant.
They've done the whole band aid thing for year after
year after year after year.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And I think that's the one interesting thing about.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
The Steelers to me. The story is the Steelers. It's
not Aaron Rodgers. You know, this is the end of
Rogers career. Is gonna give it one more go, one
more year. He's gonna do a couple of good things.
They're not gonna go anywhere come playoff time. It's like
we know the ending of the movie. How fun is
it to watch a movie when halfway through or at
the very beginning of it, you know exactly how it ends.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
If someone were to tell you.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
At the beginning of the movie, Hey, yeah, so you
see the guy right there, he kills the girl from
the first scene. I know, it's crazy, you don't even
see it coming, but that's what happens, and it's just like, well,
that kind of ruins it, like that, we know how
this is gonna end. How exciting is it. The thing
that's interesting to me is the Steelers. When did they
(22:49):
finally he stopped doing the band aid thing at the
most important position in sports. What are they finally gonna
get a quarterback of the now, of the future, someone
that has a realistic shot to be a franchise guy.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
For the next decade. They haven't come close to doing
that for a long time. It's been since Big Ben.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
They've just been doing the band aid thing year after
year after year. And really, I get that you're excited
for the twenty sixth season, but all this does is
put you a couple of notches lower in the draft
and maybe puts you out of range of one of
the top prospects come next year in the draft. That's
really all it does. So how giddy would you be?
(23:32):
I want to hear the Pittsburgh host. It's like, ah, horrid.
Aaron Rodgers looks like he's gonna be back great now
instead of being like, you know, an awful five and
eleven or five and twelve.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
We're gonna be like ten and seven. Now. This sucks.
I want to get a quarterback of the future. I
don't want a band aid that's.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Gonna get us a couple more wins and really no
playoff success at all.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Where's the Pittsburgh cot saying that maybe I need to
host in Pittsburgh. I needed to be the the naysayer,
you know, they always love that. But I love me
and Milwaukee. Being the naysayer over there went over very
very well. They love me bouquets. Every time I walk
the streets in Milwaukee, they're like, no, come back please,
it's a cross eye bear at this stage, all let's
(24:20):
get out to the phones. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
That is your number.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
My man Manuel is with us. He's in GARDENA. What's
going on?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Man?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well, how are things buddy?
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Although it's a direct contradiction, you hear a collective yes
among the Malard militia when they hear that it's one
radio legend Fox Sports. Brian, know who is in the house. Hey,
I'm doing well, my man as usual, doing better than
most of these callers, other than the dude that was talking.
(24:55):
Babe Ruth always loved me some Babe Ruth factoids. But
you've been touching some very interesting stuff, you know. I
don't know if it's any surprise the Lakers aren't gonna
sniff anywhere near a championship for the next few years.
They're kind of doing what the Pittsburgh Steelers have been doing,
(25:17):
this whole band aid thing right in the Jacka Labald
and then the Sun and bringing that whole debacle in
and now the fat Euros hurt, just like we all
knew he was gonna be, and it's gonna be, you know,
second round exit as usual, you know, in the last
few years. So I don't know why some Laker fans
(25:39):
are delusional thinking that anything's gonna change when they're not
fixing the problem. But I digress, Brian. Other beautiful things
I heard was that escalator story, right. I know quite
a few of us malar militia. Guys. Wish that we
were in that escalator but behind Lorraine. But that's a
(26:01):
whole other story. I'm just glad she's all right, you
know what I mean. Yeah, that's funny stuff.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I was, You're right. I was on the East Coast recently.
You know, I did the whole NYC did Cooper's Town,
and it is Man, it's a whole other world. It's uh,
it's something that everybody should experience at least once, you know. Uh,
it's just just crazy. I love the way those fans
Steve Man, Hey, you got to give it to Nick
(26:29):
fan and New York fan in general from the FL
two a chance to these guys talking smack on the
Liberty Bell.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Hey, if you go wrong.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
In New York fail or whatever, or even if you
scorch them like old Trey whatever his name is did
a few years back. Hey, they're gonna hit you.
Speaker 10 (26:49):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
They are gonna heckle your ass until Kingdom come. And
I love it, man, because sports and society in general
is way too candy ass. Now, Hey, these guys make
way enough money to take some you know, some shots,
some verbal shots, some verbal assaults, if you will. From
the fans that pay way too much money now to
(27:12):
support these leaves. But that's you know, hey, we all
love our sports. You know we're gonna support them in
one way or another where we're getting gouged or not.
And you know as well as I do, man, we're
looking at a two ped in the NBA and a
three P in MLB, and let's see where football ends
up other than you know, Rassini and freaking uh the
(27:37):
Brabel playing Big Earn McCracken and some single mom on
a freaking Kingpin back in the day him check hiking Er.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
You know, dude, I love That's one of my favorite
comedies ever. Yeah, it's such an underrated comedy.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Man, I love that movie.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Oh yeah, classic. Hey appreciate you, Brian. You're always the best. Man,
Love you, my man.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
All right, dude, man, you're the best. I love you.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
When you call in, it's a I'm telling you, he's
like the my flavor flave. He rolls out the red
carpet for me. He gives me the best intro every
single time. Oh but Kingpin is tremendous.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's a great movie.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Didn't I tell you to call me Ernie or Big
ern it's for my morning coffee. You know, it's great,
It's fantastic. That's not even one of the best lines.
That's how deep in the game I am. I would
watch Kingpin on repeat. Love that movie. How about Manuel
calling Luca the fat Euro? That was funny too, That's
pretty good. That's pretty funny to me. Yeah, but with
(28:38):
him being hurt and he was talking about the passionate
Nick fans. If you missed the the epic highlight reel,
I guess that Brick Center put together. This is Nick
fans going crazy after Game two on Wednesday night. So
my favorite part is the guy rapping. Not to be
confused with DMX right here. Check this freaking guy out.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Look down there.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I don't I don't do chores Nixon for that's what
we're working with, right, But if it's Nicks related, it's
all good. You just say Nixon four and people lose
their minds, and you're one of the people at that point,
you know, it's all good.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Let me get to Holler and James.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
He's up with us here, I think on Fox Sports. Ready,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Holler and James?
Speaker 4 (29:25):

Oh you're Brian. No, don't know, Brian, No, don't show

Speaker 3 (29:38):

you're gonna be snoring or if you're gonna be throwing
some stuff at me.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You know. I love that you're coherit this morning. This
is great.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Yeah. I'm on my Obama phone. I'm dating myself.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
All right, man, checked this show. I got the Lakers

all time.
Speaker 9 (30:20):

UH playoff game for the championship and a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Holy cow?
Speaker 3 (30:30):

Speaker 11 (30:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Okay, So it's it's not written written.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
I met the great Lake Kobe Bryant. I met Kobe
in church when he was going up for that little
incident he had, you know, his little thing with.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Another woman of course, uh huh, not like Raino ping
the some guys lap.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Thankfully, right, thankfully, I'm going down.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah, you're not good.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
That's that's good. Thank goodness for that was? What NFL
takes do you have for us? Hollowen James, I hate
your Laker take. It's ridiculous. Do you have any NFL
takes for us?
Speaker 11 (31:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:23):
The trouble thread. Remember Jake Reid? Oh yeah, Starter and yeah, Superstarter,
super Free, Randy Moss unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I love that you brought up Jake Reid.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Jake Reid was really good as the third piece of
that that that three piece combo meal right there.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
He was really a good player.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
That's what we expected. The Jenny's that's what we expected
to the other receiver, and that's what we expect that
I don't number eight teams. Yeah, and no, decided that
you did the two receivers games. But Jenny's Jenny's give
me the G piece. They gotta find a quarter that
send you new two lie, I say newtwo lie and
(32:05):
penetrating and emphasize them.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
The walls, the very strong words, the reason why whatever
receiving catches the ball, it's got im chene yards after
the catch and run. What man?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I like the trio. I like the New School trio.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
That.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Yeah, but you don't say justin Jefferson, you just go eighteen.
It's just how you you refer to it.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Mandy wash one of eighteen, remember, and ended up giving
him eighty four. I had more ready watched. Jersey said
to me, by Tammy and Montana, who I'm waiting for.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
On the call, get out of here. She sent you
a Randy Moss Jersey. That's how sweet she is.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Jersey, five x I under it? Are you the five
wers under it?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's amazing? Shout out Tommy, Tammy and Montana. That's awesome
of her.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Man, that's great to hear from her.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I haven't heard from her far too long.
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I'm way overdue to hear from Tammy. From Montana.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
It's been a long time, she read because she works
in her little tail off. She's busted her ud tell
her and helping all these other nurses. You've been training
because I'm called him and all these other things going
on in the world. She saved people.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
That's man good to people.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
She reaches out to people. Ben knows her personally, and
she knows me personally. Yeah, I tell her everything. I
need to tell her about what sports I like, what
sports I don't like. I maybe if I've fit sometimes
when I'm on the radio shows and I know you're
giving me a little time here, and I appreciate that. Yeah,
(33:47):
and you appreciate that. But one of the things I
had to say that woman is show out Goody is
so beautiful, and so is Ben. Who met at the
Mermaids with Jack Haleary and Magan Hagary.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well, Holler and James, it's always good to hear from you, buddy, Like, listen,
I'll put the Lakers in six take to the side,
and just be appreciative of the time we've had with
you this morning.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
You know that's what I'm the quarterback your question, Uh,
you know, I I.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Was saying this last night, Holler and James is I
think he's the fourth best quarterback in that division, right Like,
he's not better than Caleb Williams right now, He's not
better than Jordan Love. He's not better than Jared Goff,
not not Statistically, he's not. I get some of the optimism,
but it's just like blind optimism. That guy's throwing twenty
(34:40):
six touchdown passes. This is mostly thrown in one season.
It's crazy. I don't get this amount of optimism for.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
The guy coming back.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
They've it's nothing, man, JJ is lost right now.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You just got to hope and pray to the football
guys that Kyler Murray the light bulb goes and he's productive.
That's your only realistic hope at this point. But hey,
appreciate the time. Holler and James good stuff. Hollerin James
has takes man Wow, Lakers and seven. That's a doozy
right there. That is that is a doozy. All right,
(35:17):
we'll get to the militia before we get on out
of here. My personal favorite is standing by. He is
on deck and well shoehorn as much good stuff as
we can before we get on out of here. Oh,
I have to pay off. Oh it's kind of a
non sports take. I have to pay off the new
school naked gym guy. I pay it off next. If
(35:41):
you don't stick around, you gotta screw loose. I don't
know what's wrong with you. Why wouldn't you stick around?
That's award winning tease right there. I'm probably no in

a couple of tweets her Gunner, our Timberwolves fan. He says,
(36:32):
don't put thunder versus Spurs out there. It's not happening.
Watch this game tonight. We're winning by eighteen. Okay, all right,
got the thunder. You might want to play the t
Wolves on an adjusted line. They are home underdogs, so
you definitely play them on the money line, and you know,
(36:52):
play them on an adjusted line laying seventeen and a
half probably get seventy thousand to one odds on that.
I'm kidding it wouldn't be that, but that's a long shot.
That's a long shot. Douglas checks in and just wrote,
why does Loraina sound even sexier on the phone?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Hey, I get it. I'm sure other people feel the
same way. So there you go. Shout out Douglas.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Okay, analog al just said Lakers versus Timberwolves and JJ
McCarthy dot dot dot looney Tunes.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I love when the militia cracks on the militia. It's great.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Militia on militia crime is fantastic. I always get a
kick out of that. Okay, my random take here before
we get to a malor militia legend. So I go
to the gym pretty much each day except for Sunday.
I'll take Sunday off, but I'm in there pretty much
(37:51):
every other day. And I've witnessed a growing trend. Okay,
we have what I believe to be the new school
edition of naked gym Guy. Okay, now, naked gym Guy.
Any guy who's been to the gym has been around
this guy. Maybe you are that guy. I don't know,
(38:13):
but naked gym guy is exactly what it sounds like.
He's in the locker room. Maybe he just took a
shower and he's air drying. He's totally nude for an
uncomfortable and inappropriate amount of time, but he doesn't care.
It's always an old guy, always without fail never young
old guy. That's my theory is he's had real life pressures.
(38:34):
He's had to put food on the table. He's got
a wife, he's got a family, he's got pressure, he's
got to make ends meet. Maybe he's experienced death in
his life with his loved ones, and he's.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Just let go.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
He's like, I don't even care. I don't know who
these people are. I don't even care. I'm just gonna
stand here nude, and that's what I'm gonna do with
my day.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
So the new school edition of this, I've noticed this
trend where I'll go to the gym up, I'll go
put my stuff in the locker and there's a mirror
in there, and now it's young dudes and they're flexing
and they're taking pictures of themselves in the mirror.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
They don't even care who's around them.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
And in my head, I'm like, this is so embarrassing, man,
what is going on with these freaking guys. They're like
shirt lists and they're literally like flex and like, hold on,
I get this one, dude, like post that on ig
or what.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I'm like, what are they?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It's the new school naked gym guy. I don't have
a fancy name for it. It's like it's flex guy,
you know, it's like flex selfie guy.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
I don't have anything, you know, off the cuff. But
that's that's the new school naked gym guy.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
That's what it is. It's the young guy doing that
and they don't care who's around them. They have no shame.
They've let go at an early age. It's all about
the gram.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
All right.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
We've got Marcel in Brooklyn to take us home. Marcel,
what is going on?
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Buddy? You're on Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 5 (39:59):

Speaker 2 (40:48):

Patty says, man, what is it, Mick
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh, what's going on? Militia hoopball is well?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Hope this uh Friday morning is treating you delightfully. We'll
have some epic audio for you. Have a special guest.
We got a lot to get to jam packed final hour.
So the first thing, I'm just gonna lead with the best, Okay,
So I'll tell you the story and then I'll get
to the epic audio.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
So the story NBA wise that caught my attention on
Thursday would be og n Nobi, who has played great
basketball for the Knicks. He's crushing it and he's got
a right hamstring string and it's like, uh, oh, is
(00:49):
this the beginning of the demise of the Knicks where
everything looks great, the fan base is completely out of
their minds giddy, and then it just doesn't quite work
out and they don't even get to the finals. Now
he has been diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain. This
(01:11):
is not to believe. This is not believed to be
this significant injury that's gonna greatly hamper him going forward.
He's believed to be He's questionable for Game three on
Friday night, as the Knicks are trying to take a
commanding three to zero series lead. He's questionable for Game three.
He's believed to be day to day. That's what we
(01:33):
know as of right now. But you know, hammy injuries
are tricky, very tricky. You go back with og two
seasons ago. It's the Eastern Conference semi finals against the Pacers.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
He had a hamstring strain.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
He missed game three, game four, Game five, and game six.
He attempted to play in Game seven and he lasted
about five minutes and they pulled him out. And so
not all hamstring strains are the same. But if you're
a Knicks fan and you hear og Ananobi hamstring strain
(02:11):
when you got bitten royally by basically the same injury,
maybe not the same severity, but same injury two years ago,
that would make any Knicks fan think, oh, oh, that's
not good. That's not what we're looking for right here.
And that's the reality at this stage now. He has
crushed it what he's been able to do for the Knicks.
(02:34):
Just his last game so game two, twenty four points,
five rebounds, force, steals, and a block, played thirty seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Pretty good, rights, that's great, that's excellent. You take that
every time if you're the Knicks. And he had to
leave the game.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
He left with just under three minutes to go. So
he walked off the court gingerly after a dunk attempt,
and he motioned to the bench. He's like, yeah, I
need a I'm gonna need out of this freaking game
over here. And so like mckel bridges hit a jumper
and the Knicks took a four point lead with about
three minutes to go, and there was no more ogn
(03:15):
andob on the court.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
For the Knicks. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It doesn't seem to be the most mild of injuries,
and it doesn't seem to be the most severe of injuries.
Somewhere in between how much time he misses, how greatly
he's affected. Let's just say he plays game three. Is
he putting up twenty four points, five rebounds, forced deals
in a block? I don't think so. But is he
(03:41):
the other question is he played thirty seven minutes last game?
How many minutes is he playing in game three? Is
he playing in Game three? That's the other thing. You
got a two to zero series lead. It's not like
you can afford to just punt games left and right.
But you've got to think about the bigger picture here too.
Does it make sense to rush back out on the
court when he's had these hammy issues in the past
(04:05):
and you have a two zero series lead and you
might be able to win a game without him out there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So you got a weigh all this stuff now.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
But it comes into the equation not the greatest situation
to be in if you're the New York Knicks. So
I hope that he's fine. I hate when any athlete
is injured. It's the worst. Injuries and sports are the worst.
But we'll see, we'll see going forward. And it's not
like the Sixers are gonna, you know, have any sympathy
(04:34):
tears for the Knicks when they just had Joel Embiid
miss Game two. So it's just the nature of the
playoffs man, injuries. Injuries make a huge impact. It seems
like year in and year out in the playoffs, this
is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And that's what's crazy too.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
With the Thunder, they keep rolling on ahead without Jalen Williams,
the J A. L. E. N. Santa Clara, Jalen Williams,
the guy who's dropping forty points in a final game. Yeah,
that guy, they haven't had him in this series against
the Lakers, hadn't mattered at all. Thunder one Game one
by eighteen. They won Game two on Thursday night by
(05:09):
eighteen points. So yeah, like the Lakers lose Luka Doncic
over forget it, probably won't even win a game the
Thunder lose. Jalen Williams, It's fine. We're still winning by
eighteen points, left and right, business as usual. They're just
a machine man, they're crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
But we'll see.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
We'll see if it's thunder Spurs next round. Don't want
to get too far ahead of ourselves, but that'd be
a heck of a series if that's what we're looking at. Okay,
So the epic audio, it does tie into og Nanobi's injury.
I think, at least in my mind is I saw
this tweet. It was from Brick Center and they just
(05:49):
put this little highlight video together of Nick fans losing
their minds after a Game two win against the Sixers.
So this is Wednesday night, the Knicks pull it out,
epic game. They're twenty five lead changes in that game
on on Wednesday night, So the Nicks win it, and
(06:12):
the fan base you can imagine they're they're kind of
uh fired up, you know, a little bit boisterous. You
could say, listen to these uh these highlights of Nick
fans just going crazy, or check this out.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Ort Nick.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Jalb Bruton the ego.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Now, first things first, right, you might not think this
is the most high brow of audio you've ever heard
in your life. You know, it doesn't sound like Rhodes
scholars just breaking down the action they just saw. You know,
it seems a little bit more barbaric than that. But
what if what if you mixed this little highlight compilation,
(07:09):
if you will, with some classical music, you know what
I mean? If you sort of highbrow this audio up,
do you hear it from a different point of view,
if you will? Right, So that's what we've done over here.
We threw some classical music underneath this and let's hear
(07:30):
you know, phrases like f the liberty bell and maybe
it sounds a little bit more distinguished at that point.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't know. Let's try it out here.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
You go check it out.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And I don't know that sounds very high brow to me.
I don't know it is just me. It sounds very exquisite, right.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It sounds like it's like the old Charles Barkley deodorant commercials.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What did he say?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He was like anything anything less or else, anything less
would be uncivilized. I think that's what he said. It
was the old school Barkley deodorant commercials. Yeah, that's what
it makes me think of, you know, the nick fans
losing their minds with classical music underneath. Yeah, it does.
It sounds very much higher brow at that stage. Yeah,
(08:50):
I think we dressed it up quite nicely there, very
nicely done. Now, while we're continuing the epic audio, how
about Lebron James playing his three hundredth career playoff game.
That's what happened on Thursday night. Now, it didn't go
down the way Lebron would have wanted. Lakers, although they
had a lead at halftime. Lakers won the first half.
(09:12):
If you took the Lakers money line first half.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Cash it four to one.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Baby, I didn't even think about doing that, but they
got there. Lakers were ahead fifty eight to fifty seven
at halftime, and then the third quarter happened and the
Thunder outscored him by fourteen points and that was the
beginning of the end.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
For the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
But in honor of Lebron, you know, playing his three
hundredth career playoff game, I think it's only fitting to
try to figure out what the best audio cut is
from the epic movie three hundred, right, So of course
there's this one. Come on, don't you want to kick
(09:55):
someone in the mouth with let's go Gerard Butler, that's fine,
and this one his top shelf as well. Yeah, that
was Lebron on Thursday night, dining in Hell as a
three hundredth career playoff game, but an eighteen point loss. Yeah,
didn't work out for the Lake Show. But hey, for
(10:18):
what it's worth, the Lakers they had words at the
end of the game with the officials. You had Austin
Reeves and really the whole team in general surround the
officiating crew, and they were whatever bringing something to their attention,
whether it's SGA getting foul calls or them not getting
(10:40):
the same whistle or this, and I don't know, I
don't know, but they had words with the officials and
let them know.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Whatever was on their mind.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And I can't say if the Lakers got every favorable
call in Game three. Maybe they would only lose by
like seven, maybe, but do winning games.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
This is a freaking wrap man. They're just not on
the Okay C's level.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You get stan Van Gundy put it best when the
Lakers don't have their point guard in Luka Doncic. You
gotta generate offense in other ways. You gotta move around
like crazy. You gotta pass the ball like crazy. It's
gonna lead to turnovers galore. Lakers turn it over twenty times.
OKAYC scored twenty seven points off of twenty Laker turnovers.
(11:27):
Lakers don't have a point guard, and okay, see, all
they do is turn you over. And they turn live
ball turnovers into points very well, like either wide open threes,
finishing at the rim. It's a disaster. It just is
all right.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Our special guest is ready. Are you militia? Are you
ready for this?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
How about the great Lorena live in the Greater Boston area,
checking in with the making time in the wee hour. God,
this is beautiful, Lorena Howard.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Thanks, Oh, it's.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
So great over here.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
The sun is actually coming up right now, which is
totally wild because I feel like I should be in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Still, but this is so cool.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
I've never been on the East coast like this.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You've never been on the East coast like this? What
does that mean?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yeah, well I've been to Florida, but someone said that
that doesn't count.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, that's not the East. No.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, like technically it's it's East, but it's not the East.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Like, that's that's where you are, your Boston, New York.
You know, that's the Philly. That's the East. Yeah, that's
East coast.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
So my flight was supposed to get in at.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Nine to thirty last night, and apparently there was maintenance
issues with the.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Plane, so my plane got delayed almost seven hours.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh jeez, seven So are you just hanging in the
airport that long?
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
No, I actually took the flyaway back to my car
to go and take a nap because I hadn't slept
all day.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah wow, So yeah, hanging out in the car for
a little while.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Yeah, But the flight was really smooth. I'm glad I
made it to Boston.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
I'm so excited for the meet and greet tonight.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Now to fill us in because a little birdie told
me there was an escalator situation and you had to
be rescued by a random stranger who was a husky
type fellow if you will.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Yeah, So I had just gotten my bags and I'm
going up the escalator. So you know when you put
your bag up on.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
The steps, right, Yeah, Well, my bag was like halfway
on the step, and in my effort to twist it
to get it all the way on the step, my
bag actually started to fall. And it's very heavy. I
had two bags backs on top of each other, so
in my effort to try and save it, I felt
myself falling for I said.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I'm going down.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
No, did you Are you serious? You said that?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
I mean I went down two the stairs and there's luckly,
like you know, you sam kind of far enough behind someone.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
That you're not facing the butt.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Right, You're like far enough behind.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
So that's exactly where he was.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
My bag went between his legs and I fell into
him and I was like, oh, I'm so glad you
were here.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Wow, that is amazing. I just love gosh. I wish
we had miked up footage of this. I'm going down
that is tremendous. Wow, Thank goodness for this guy.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
You've never falling down an escalator before.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
So that was fun.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Wow, you can check that right off the list right there. Yeah,
and you didn't even fall. That's the best way to
fall where someone caught you.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Yeah, exactly, And yeah, I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I'm glad he was as close.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
As he was so especially for that time in the morning.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
But yeah, that you realize that could have been a
whole thing. You coulda whatever, you're gonna hit your head,
you could have broken an arm, like, thank goodness, talk.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
About an IR report or yeah, no, that would have
been wild.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But I miss you guys.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
I hope the show's going soon tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, we're having fun, but you made it even better. Lorena. Absolutely,
I'm glad I could call in and say hi.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, okay, all right, so what's on the agenda? You
get in some sleep right now? What's going on?
Speaker 7 (15:16):
Yeah, I'm hoping to nap for like three hours and
then I'm going on a Mallard journey. I think we're
going to Salem today.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Okay, are you gonna wear the goth outfit for Salem?
Speaker 10 (15:30):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (15:30):
I have my all black outbit ready.
Speaker 3 (15:32):

get into character. If you're going there, you know.

have a ton of fun this weekend. Always good to
hear from you, and listen, we'll be I'll be filling
in for a couple of nights coming up, so.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
We'll hang out then.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You got me and Coop on Sunday, right, yeah, looking
forward to that.
Speaker 9 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I want to hear all about Boston hopefullytails. Yeah, if
you fall down any other escalators, hopefully someone else is
there to catch you.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh god.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Yeah, what thankful timing on that was. But I hope
that we remember most of the trip too, because you know,
it does get a little wild at these meet and greets.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Hey man, when you're with Coop, all bets are off.
He's a wild stadium. Outside of the studio, you wouldn't
even recognize him. He's crazy, wild man. That's right, all right, Lorena.
Well we'll catch you soon. Thanks for your time. I
was going to hear from you for sure.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Yeah, yes, of course, I'll talk to you again later.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Audios, all right, see you later. There she is the
great Lorena. What a what a? What a quote I'm
going down. Oh, thank goodness, she got caught.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Man, I don't know what I would say if I was,
if I was losing it. I don't know that I
would say anything like listen, the guy thing is when
you get stuck bench pressing, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Like, that's the true test.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
If no one spot you and whatever you're repping out,
whatever you're repping out, you try to do one more
and it's just not happening.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Everybody knows what I'm talking about. You get to that.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
If you get halfway and you get past that little level,
you're good.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But there are times you get halfway and you're like.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
It's fifty to fifty, and then you're like, that's not happening,
and it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Just goes down. That's the that's the test of what
you're gonna say, Like, well, you don't like that sort
of thing, but man, I'm going down. Thank goodness, she
got caught. All right?
Speaker 3 (17:34):

want to play you a little bit of audio for
a purpose. Okay, So this is a Pittsburgh radio host,
(19:31):
Adam Crowley. He's on ninety three to seven to fan
and he's got some things to say about one Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
This is not a drill.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It was real.
Speaker 10 (19:43):
Aaron Rodgers expected to be in town tonight with the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Expectation of him signing this weekend. This is a big one.
This is the real thing, folks. Yep, not speculation. This
is what we have been told.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, so listen, I get it. You're hosting a Pittsburgh
radio show. Aaron Rodgers is gonna be there better than
they drafted. What's our guy Aller out of Penn State.
You wouldn't be fired up about that third round pick?
Look like a disaster at Penn State injured? You know, So,
(20:19):
Mason Rudolph, you know, it's like, all right, Will Howard
Drew Aller.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's like, yeah, this is just big news for.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
If you're in the Pittsburgh area, if you're a Steelers fan,
I get why you'd be excited. I gotta be honest
with you, guys, as of right now in May, they
might be different when the season rolls around, But as
of right now in May, I am totally and utterly
checked out on all things Aaron Rodgers man, I am
(20:47):
checked out. Anytime there are a couple of promos that
are playing, it's like, hey, so the big news is
Aaron Rodgers, and I'm just like, after I hear Aaron Rodgers,
all I hear in my head is like, b I
don't hear anything. It's like, oh my gosh, freaking guy,
I can't take it. All right, we see, we thought
he'd be with the Steelers. Looks like he's destined to
(21:08):
be with the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
They're kind of be ten and six, nine and seven, Well, wait,
I'm sorry. Those are old records right there.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
They would be ten and seven, nine and eight, something
like that. Right, We're up to seventeen games now and
quick exit in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I mean, that's what it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, they're a little bit of excitement with you know.
They picked up Michael Pittman junior from the Colts to
be opposite of DK Metcalf. They drafted Jeremy Bernard from
Alabama in the second round, who I liked a lot
in college. And they got the kid out of Iowa
as a returner slash slot receiver fourth rounder. So you know, listen,
(21:52):
don't I don't think the Steelers are going anywhere significant.
They've done the whole band aid thing for year after
year after year after year.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And I think that's the one interesting thing about.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
The Steelers to me. The story is the Steelers. It's
not Aaron Rodgers. You know, this is the end of
Rogers career. Is gonna give it one more go, one
more year. He's gonna do a couple of good things.
They're not gonna go anywhere come playoff time. It's like
we know the ending of the movie. How fun is
it to watch a movie when halfway through or at
the very beginning of it, you know exactly how it ends.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
If someone were to tell you.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
At the beginning of the movie, Hey, yeah, so you
see the guy right there, he kills the girl from
the first scene. I know, it's crazy, you don't even
see it coming, but that's what happens, and it's just like, well,
that kind of ruins it, like that, we know how
this is gonna end. How exciting is it. The thing
that's interesting to me is the Steelers. When did they
(22:49):
finally he stopped doing the band aid thing at the
most important position in sports. What are they finally gonna
get a quarterback of the now, of the future, someone
that has a realistic shot to be a franchise guy.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
For the next decade. They haven't come close to doing
that for a long time. It's been since Big Ben.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
They've just been doing the band aid thing year after
year after year. And really, I get that you're excited
for the twenty sixth season, but all this does is
put you a couple of notches lower in the draft
and maybe puts you out of range of one of
the top prospects come next year in the draft. That's
really all it does. So how giddy would you be?
(23:32):
I want to hear the Pittsburgh host. It's like, ah, horrid.
Aaron Rodgers looks like he's gonna be back great now
instead of being like, you know, an awful five and
eleven or five and twelve.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
We're gonna be like ten and seven. Now. This sucks.
I want to get a quarterback of the future. I
don't want a band aid that's.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Gonna get us a couple more wins and really no
playoff success at all.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Where's the Pittsburgh cot saying that maybe I need to
host in Pittsburgh. I needed to be the the naysayer,
you know, they always love that. But I love me
and Milwaukee. Being the naysayer over there went over very
very well. They love me bouquets. Every time I walk
the streets in Milwaukee, they're like, no, come back please,
it's a cross eye bear at this stage, all let's
(24:20):
get out to the phones. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
That is your number.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
My man Manuel is with us. He's in GARDENA. What's
going on?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Man?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well, how are things buddy?
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Although it's a direct contradiction, you hear a collective yes
among the Malard militia when they hear that it's one
radio legend Fox Sports. Brian, know who is in the house. Hey,
I'm doing well, my man as usual, doing better than
most of these callers, other than the dude that was talking.
(24:55):
Babe Ruth always loved me some Babe Ruth factoids. But
you've been touching some very interesting stuff, you know. I
don't know if it's any surprise the Lakers aren't gonna
sniff anywhere near a championship for the next few years.
They're kind of doing what the Pittsburgh Steelers have been doing,
(25:17):
this whole band aid thing right in the Jacka Labald
and then the Sun and bringing that whole debacle in
and now the fat Euros hurt, just like we all
knew he was gonna be, and it's gonna be, you know,
second round exit as usual, you know, in the last
few years. So I don't know why some Laker fans
(25:39):
are delusional thinking that anything's gonna change when they're not
fixing the problem. But I digress, Brian. Other beautiful things
I heard was that escalator story, right. I know quite
a few of us malar militia. Guys. Wish that we
were in that escalator but behind Lorraine. But that's a
(26:01):
whole other story. I'm just glad she's all right, you
know what I mean. Yeah, that's funny stuff.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I was, You're right. I was on the East Coast recently.
You know, I did the whole NYC did Cooper's Town,
and it is Man, it's a whole other world. It's uh,
it's something that everybody should experience at least once, you know. Uh,
it's just just crazy. I love the way those fans
Steve Man, Hey, you got to give it to Nick
(26:29):
fan and New York fan in general from the FL
two a chance to these guys talking smack on the
Liberty Bell.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Hey, if you go wrong.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
In New York fail or whatever, or even if you
scorch them like old Trey whatever his name is did
a few years back. Hey, they're gonna hit you.
Speaker 10 (26:49):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
They are gonna heckle your ass until Kingdom come. And
I love it, man, because sports and society in general
is way too candy ass. Now, Hey, these guys make
way enough money to take some you know, some shots,
some verbal shots, some verbal assaults, if you will. From
the fans that pay way too much money now to
(27:12):
support these leaves. But that's you know, hey, we all
love our sports. You know we're gonna support them in
one way or another where we're getting gouged or not.
And you know as well as I do, man, we're
looking at a two ped in the NBA and a
three P in MLB, and let's see where football ends
up other than you know, Rassini and freaking uh the
(27:37):
Brabel playing Big Earn McCracken and some single mom on
a freaking Kingpin back in the day him check hiking Er.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
You know, dude, I love That's one of my favorite
comedies ever. Yeah, it's such an underrated comedy.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Man, I love that movie.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Oh yeah, classic. Hey appreciate you, Brian. You're always the best. Man,
Love you, my man.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
All right, dude, man, you're the best. I love you.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
When you call in, it's a I'm telling you, he's
like the my flavor flave. He rolls out the red
carpet for me. He gives me the best intro every
single time. Oh but Kingpin is tremendous.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's a great movie.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Didn't I tell you to call me Ernie or Big
ern it's for my morning coffee. You know, it's great,
It's fantastic. That's not even one of the best lines.
That's how deep in the game I am. I would
watch Kingpin on repeat. Love that movie. How about Manuel
calling Luca the fat Euro? That was funny too, That's
pretty good. That's pretty funny to me. Yeah, but with
(28:38):
him being hurt and he was talking about the passionate
Nick fans. If you missed the the epic highlight reel,
I guess that Brick Center put together. This is Nick
fans going crazy after Game two on Wednesday night. So
my favorite part is the guy rapping. Not to be
confused with DMX right here. Check this freaking guy out.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Look down there.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I don't I don't do chores Nixon for that's what
we're working with, right, But if it's Nicks related, it's
all good. You just say Nixon four and people lose
their minds, and you're one of the people at that point,
you know, it's all good.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Let me get to Holler and James.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
He's up with us here, I think on Fox Sports. Ready,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (29:23):

some stuff at me.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You know. I love that you're coherit this morning. This

Speaker 4 (29:48):

The trouble thread. Remember Jake Reid? Oh yeah, Starter and yeah, Superstarter,
super Free, Randy Moss unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Jake Reid was really good as the third piece of
that that that three piece combo meal right there.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
He was really a good player.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
That's what we expected. The Jenny's that's what we expected
to the other receiver, and that's what we expect that
I don't number eight teams. Yeah, and no, decided that
you did the two receivers games. But Jenny's Jenny's give
me the G piece. They gotta find a quarter that
send you new two lie, I say newtwo lie and
(32:05):
penetrating and emphasize them.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
The walls, the very strong words, the reason why whatever
receiving catches the ball, it's got im chene yards after
the catch and run. What man?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I like the trio. I like the New School trio.
Speaker 11 (32:23):

Yeah, but you don't say justin Jefferson, you just go eighteen.

him eighty four. I had more ready watched. Jersey said
to me, by Tammy and Montana, who I'm waiting for.
Speaker 2 (32:38):

Speaker 2 (33:03):
I'm way overdue to hear from Tammy. From Montana.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
It's been a long time, she read because she works
in her little tail off. She's busted her ud tell
her and helping all these other nurses. You've been training
because I'm called him and all these other things going
on in the world. She saved people.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
That's man good to people.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
She reaches out to people. Ben knows her personally, and
she knows me personally. Yeah, I tell her everything. I
need to tell her about what sports I like, what
sports I don't like. I maybe if I've fit sometimes
when I'm on the radio shows and I know you're
giving me a little time here, and I appreciate that. Yeah,
(33:47):
and you appreciate that. But one of the things I
had to say that woman is show out Goody is
so beautiful, and so is Ben. Who met at the
Mermaids with Jack Haleary and Magan Hagary.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well, Holler and James, it's always good to hear from you, buddy, Like, listen,
I'll put the Lakers in six take to the side,
and just be appreciative of the time we've had with
you this morning.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
You know that's what I'm the quarterback your question, Uh,
you know, I I.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Was saying this last night, Holler and James is I
think he's the fourth best quarterback in that division, right Like,
he's not better than Caleb Williams right now, He's not
better than Jordan Love. He's not better than Jared Goff,
not not Statistically, he's not. I get some of the optimism,
but it's just like blind optimism. That guy's throwing twenty
(34:40):
six touchdown passes. This is mostly thrown in one season.
It's crazy. I don't get this amount of optimism for.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
The guy coming back.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
They've it's nothing, man, JJ is lost right now.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You just got to hope and pray to the football
guys that Kyler Murray the light bulb goes and he's productive.
That's your only realistic hope at this point. But hey,
appreciate the time. Holler and James good stuff. Hollerin James
has takes man Wow, Lakers and seven. That's a doozy
right there. That is that is a doozy. All right,
(35:17):
we'll get to the militia before we get on out
of here. My personal favorite is standing by. He is
on deck and well shoehorn as much good stuff as
we can before we get on out of here. Oh,
I have to pay off. Oh it's kind of a
non sports take. I have to pay off the new
school naked gym guy. I pay it off next. If
(35:41):
you don't stick around, you gotta screw loose. I don't
know what's wrong with you. Why wouldn't you stick around?

a couple of tweets her Gunner, our Timberwolves fan. He says,
(36:32):
don't put thunder versus Spurs out there. It's not happening.
Watch this game tonight. We're winning by eighteen. Okay, all right,
got the thunder. You might want to play the t
Wolves on an adjusted line. They are home underdogs, so
you definitely play them on the money line, and you know,
(36:52):
play them on an adjusted line laying seventeen and a
half probably get seventy thousand to one odds on that.
I'm kidding it wouldn't be that, but that's a long shot.
That's a long shot. Douglas checks in and just wrote,
why does Loraina sound even sexier on the phone?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Hey, I get it. I'm sure other people feel the
same way. So there you go. Shout out Douglas.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Okay, analog al just said Lakers versus Timberwolves and JJ
McCarthy dot dot dot looney Tunes.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I love when the militia cracks on the militia. It's great.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Militia on militia crime is fantastic. I always get a
kick out of that. Okay, my random take here before
we get to a malor militia legend. So I go
to the gym pretty much each day except for Sunday.
I'll take Sunday off, but I'm in there pretty much
(37:51):
every other day. And I've witnessed a growing trend. Okay,
we have what I believe to be the new school
edition of naked gym Guy. Okay, now, naked gym Guy.
Any guy who's been to the gym has been around
this guy. Maybe you are that guy. I don't know,
(38:13):
but naked gym guy is exactly what it sounds like.
He's in the locker room. Maybe he just took a
shower and he's air drying. He's totally nude for an
uncomfortable and inappropriate amount of time, but he doesn't care.
It's always an old guy, always without fail never young
old guy. That's my theory is he's had real life pressures.
(38:34):
He's had to put food on the table. He's got
a wife, he's got a family, he's got pressure, he's
got to make ends meet. Maybe he's experienced death in
his life with his loved ones, and he's.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Just let go.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
He's like, I don't even care. I don't know who
these people are. I don't even care. I'm just gonna
stand here nude, and that's what I'm gonna do with
my day.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
So the new school edition of this, I've noticed this
trend where I'll go to the gym up, I'll go
put my stuff in the locker and there's a mirror
in there, and now it's young dudes and they're flexing
and they're taking pictures of themselves in the mirror.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
They don't even care who's around them.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
And in my head, I'm like, this is so embarrassing, man,
what is going on with these freaking guys. They're like
shirt lists and they're literally like flex and like, hold on,
I get this one, dude, like post that on ig
or what.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I'm like, what are they?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It's the new school naked gym guy. I don't have
a fancy name for it. It's like it's flex guy,
you know, it's like flex selfie guy.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
I don't have anything, you know, off the cuff. But
that's that's the new school naked gym guy.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
That's what it is. It's the young guy doing that
and they don't care who's around them. They have no shame.
They've let go at an early age. It's all about
the gram.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
All right.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
We've got Marcel in Brooklyn to take us home. Marcel,
what is going on?
Speaker 2 (39:54):

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
