Speaker 2 (00:32):
This time it counts.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We're in safe.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Harbor now, so we're gonna get to that Zion Williamson
story coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Oh boy, hey, you know, just I it. He was
celebrating CESPDES. What are you talking about? Eased?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Will have it coming up?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
And now he said me play it fired in there,
don't you know. I gotta say, like you're like a
little kid. You just start giggling.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Look, look we'll get you know, we'll do this Zion
Williams story coming up in a few minutes, because there's
there's something that in this age of everything wanting everything.
I'll just say it right now to tease it for
coming up in a bit. Radio turn. Uh, when Zion's
trending today on Twitter and he's trending with a lot
like you know, you get up in the morning, you
see like something's trending with like a thousand tweets, like okay,
(01:20):
it's a slow time right now, and apparently nothing's happening politically,
which is why you know Dennis Savard is trending. You
know it's something crazy like that, right, Uh, he could
skate boy. And so Zion's trending. You know when I
first get up and I'm looking at everything and it's
got you know, he's got like fifty sixty thousand tweets like,
(01:40):
oh something BIG's when on the sion huge and I
And when you click on the person's name, usually when
something big is trending, within the first couple of tweets,
you see why, right Like you see why because someone says, oh,
why is DeAndre Hopkins trending? DeAndre Hopkins set to be
let go by the Cardinals will be a free Okay,
you understand why it's trending. But I go to Zion
(02:03):
Williamson and I'm sitting here scrolling going what the hell
is going on? I don't understand anything that's being said,
don't I don't know what any of this is, what
is going on? Then I try to go to the
top and go, okay, well the top day I still
don't get. I'm like, I don't understand because it's all
people reacting to what and I can't tell what it is.
And I'm going through it. I'm like, why is it
(02:24):
taking me like ten minutes to figure out why Zion
Williamson is trending? And it can't be him coming back.
It's not as simple as an injury thing. It's gotta
be something else that's more complex. Sure enough it is,
but I'm trying to look at him. Why take me
so long to figure this out? Why can't I figure this?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Ou? We need you refine your googling skill. I mean
that means I'm really scared of some of the search
terms that might have ended up as you tried to learn.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Okay, okay, okay, I mean not even going to barstool
helped me, and usually barstool helps with everything. I'm going
I don't get that. I don't get that. Well, it
gives you the story, like it's going to give you
the story right here?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You want a pizza review? While you're out one bite
bit It might be the first time anybody's endorsed any
because that's what I do. Out start taking like twelve bites,
that's what I do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I want one bite of pizza. That's exactly what I want.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yes, that's right. Uh so, and I'm like, okay, I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It took me a while, and I said, you know what,
I need to come back to the story.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's like when you're in.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
School and you're taking a test and the one problem
you just can't get your start sweating. You look at
the clock and you go, there's only twenty minutes left.
I got ten quicks. You know what. I gotta skip
and go. I don't like skipping going back, but I
gotta skip and go back with fresh eyes. So I
skipped it, and then I went back a little while later,
maybe a half hour forty five minutes later. I'm like, oh, okay,
now I get now, I see what's happening. Okay, but
it took me a while. I had to go back.
(03:43):
I had to go away from it, go back and
do it well. I mean, did you celebrate it once
you figured it out?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I didn't. Did you go down the rabbit hole they
celebrate like Sherlock Holmes. Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes I did.
In other words, what do you figured out the root
of the it's not a problem the issue the story.
Did you go and do deeper, maybe more extensive, longer
(04:08):
research on the principles because I.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Saw it and I said, no, that tracks. And then
I went to a very particular Twitter account to see
what the details were. That was pretty easy.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh okay, got it. And once you got those details,
got it? Did you go try to evaluate a performance? No,
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
My first thing was like, maybe he's not as injured
as they think he is. Maybe he's a little bit
healthier than you think.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, I mean he did have to activate the glutes,
maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
He is healthier than you think he is. So we'll
have Zion Williamson, yeah, coming up in a few minutes.
But and if you know the story, you're like, oh
my god. If not, you're like, I got to hear
what this is about. It's not my first banging each other. Hey,
oh who is it? Well I can't even say allegedly
because that's part of the story.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay, so well it is allegedly, But we got no veracity.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
On the whoa, well the one cause the one, Yeah,
that's what I said. That's that was that was happening.
We got one, yeah, the other we don't know, not yet. Again,
it wasn't me. Maybe maybe he's not as injured as
he thinks as we think.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Shagy may maybe maybe and not the one that goes.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But Game three of the NBA Finals goes to the
Nuggets in dominant style one nine ninety four. I told
you the beginning of the show, the Nuggets are going
to win this game going away because the Heat had there.
We're gonna get your attention game too. This wasn't a
Game two of whoa, the Heat can win the series.
(05:39):
That's not what it was. It pissed me off because
it ruined my nuggets in four pick. But maybe in
the end it's what the Nuggets needed because they weren't
playing well enough and playing to their capabilities. They didn't
play well down the stretch in Game one, but they
were still able to win Game two. You had Michael
Malone questioning everything that the Nuggets did in the fourth
(06:01):
quarter and giving that game away. We're not playing hard enough.
It's the NBA bleeping Finals. That game is going to
turn out to be the wake up call that turns
into the gentleman's sweep for the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, but we also have now heard post game from
Jimmy Butler in company saying we didn't have all our energy,
we didn't work hard enough for loose balls. It could
have been a different game. See, that's just it working hard.
You know what, from now on, nobody gets to use
that in their post game. We're taking the xie. You
don't can say any of that crap about effort.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
This is the.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Change about the NBA playoffs now is that the Heat
have built their culture around out working the opposition, buying
into what Eric Spolstra has been has been teaching and
coaching and never quitting, trying to stay in the game,
shoot your way back in, play great defense. Right, whether
Max Strews is oh for nine or Duncan Robinson's OH
(06:58):
for ten, we're still gonna shoot threes, we're still running offense,
we're still gonna do every We're gonna we're gonna out
effort the other team. And that's what Heat culture is,
and it should be everywhere else in the NBA. But
it's just not because as you see the Nuggets had
a problem in game in game two, now that he'd
have a problem here in game three. I'm like, come on, man,
I'm really finding a hard time being able to understand. Hey, yeah,
(07:22):
we're coming out flat in the playoffs. I get coming
out flat in regular season games. You're playing the second
night at back to backs, you're just not into it
as much. Your effort level's not there because you're tired.
I understand that. I get that during the regular season.
I don't get any time during the playoffs not being
able to get to get it going and get it
to the level you need to be to win a
playoff game. I don't understand. Oh, it's every other night.
(07:44):
It's the play You're getting paid a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
This is it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You're not playing, you're not playing back to back nights,
you're playing every other night. Your workouts are not that
strenuous here. This is when you find a way and
if you don't have it physically, I understand, but we
don't have an effort wise, come on, man, I mean
you don't see team you don't see teams coming out
flat in the NFL playoffs. You don't see teams coming
out flat in the baseball playoffs. But yet all the
(08:07):
time it's an excuse in the NBA players, we're out flat.
We're out flat. How about you suck it up and
play like you're supposed to because the lesson you're taught
your first day of pee wee sports, hour one lesson one,
good evening, good morning, good afternoon. My name is Jason,
I'm your coach. I know we had a lot of
people here with different talent skills. I'm gonna get to
(08:27):
know all of you. The number one thing you can
control is your effort. If you're not as good as
somebody else, I get it, But your effort is something
you can always put out the best fourth effort you can.
That's like, forget about day one out that's day one, hour,
one minute one. It's about effort. And yet still, oh,
you know, we didn't put our effort in. I realize
I'm finding it hard to have any sympathy for any
(08:48):
teams and at this point in the players or any
point in the playoffs, say yeah, we just didn't have
Just didn't you know we had? We had no effort
to But but it's the easy cop out. It's the
it's been the easy answer nobody questions like, so, why
do you think that is?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You went like for the Heat, like Jimmy Butler and
anybody else getting to a podium and giving that answer.
You got your win in Denver. Here's your chance to
really apply some pressure at home and your flat. Now,
they missed a lot of open jump shots. I'll let
someone else go through and rewatch it and try to
(09:22):
go through the subbruter film to decide who's open who's not,
because we can always fight about guys flashing out and
getting close to a basketball and what's good defense, close
defense versus I really missed my assignment and I got
to make it look good and try to get back
in the screen to look like I affected and change
(09:44):
the trajectory of the shot. How much of that I
don't know. All I know is watching the game. It
felt and look to me that the Heat had a
lot of opportunities and miss some wide open looks and
miss them badly. Gave Vincent was due for a bad game.
We had the he was sick going into game too.
Gave you a good effort tonight two of ten, one
(10:04):
of six from three point range, just seven points. Really
didn't dent the column anywhere else, couple of files struse
right back to being a nothing, and you had the
opportunity because the Nuggets essentially ran a two man game
until Christian Braun came in and ran around like his
hair was on fire and scored fifteen points. A guy
(10:26):
who might be able to transfer his talents if this
was college buckets to go down to Miami, because he
would really fit heat culture. I think, I really think
he would fit in with the amount of effort that
he gives effort. But the fact that throughout these playoffs,
and we've talked about it this year, last year, go
back to when load management became a thing, and it's
(10:48):
all about all right concerning I understand it to the
point and I'm not worried about little Janey and Johnny
or Johnny and Susie, whatever names you want to give
the fictional kids up in the three hundred level that
go to one game of year that they're They're not
who I'm concerned about. But you get to the playoffs
or go home. It's legacy building, it's it's next contracts
(11:09):
in having big performances in big moments. For a guy
like Jimmy Butler, all of the build up of this
playoff run on the other side, nicolea Jokic, So we
got Michael Malone or Butler himself or whoever talking about Yeah,
we just didn't have the effort. It just it makes
you laugh, Right, you coach your your kids soccer and
(11:30):
softball through the years, like that's that's the first thing
you tell them, Like, come on, just show up for
the two hours of practice we got. Let's go here,
nationally televised game. You're front and center eyes of the
sporting world, at least the ones that pay attention to
the NBA are watching it, and effort's not there. You
(11:50):
got a chance to take a lead in a series
of the NBA Finals at home, and you talk about
lethargy and inability to get your team to rise up. Like, really,
see antithesis of everything that you've tried to preach and
now you're going to try to just pass it up. Yeah,
we just didn't have it today. I really it really,
I'm really done with hearing that answer.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm done with hearing that a.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Press and I just should be the guys stepping for no, no,
no follow up? Why why?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Why?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
What did you have a sandwich? Did you not get
a good nap?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I mean, and there's look, and this is something that
falls on everybody, right for Michael Malone to be upset
about effort and to talk about it, okay, because yes,
these are professionals. A lot of guys are getting paid
a lot of money and in the propros. In the pros,
you need to be able to motivate yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
That's also a coaching moment, right, It's.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Always It's also a thing where if you're a coach
and you see your team not given the effort, that's
where time out right here, and then you get them
given the effort, right, I mean, that's something I had
to do it this weekend, uh, for for my girls.
We're playing the championship game and the second any things
were getting a little loose and I'll I'm like hey,
and I called time out and I went to the
mound and I was like, hey, this and this and
(13:05):
this and this and the and the kids look at
their eyes are open. I walk off and I go,
I know I had to get their attention. Did you
wait from that point?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
We did, buddy, Yeah we did. Five four won the championship.
Was awesome, But.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Get yelled at by the parents. No on the mount. Look,
I'll tell you one of the things that did you
kick any dirt on them? No?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
No, no, no, no. Other'll come on. Everybody's a volunteer. Come on,
umpires are getting paid. But come on, umpires. Everything's fun.
But I uh, but that's but I always know when
I need to say something. It's not because I'm not
because you know me, I'm kind of what I am.
I want to have fun. I want to push the
girls forward and make them the best players they can be.
But once in a while, I got to get your
attention a little bit and boom, everything was there, and
(13:46):
it's and and things straightened up from there. In the
next four innings, bang bang bang bang. It was fan
Because here's the other thing.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
In the NBA. You get seven timeouts. You got plenty
of opportunities. I mean, just say what the blank and
get it. Everybody's Craig Sidonrich.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Does it after the first possession of a game sometimes,
but oh early time out, come on, get the commercial
ready to roll.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
We got a time out. Get the comrosial ready, call
the time money. And that's part of the pregame planning
on the network side too. It's a Popovich game. You
gotta be ready.

Mara Jo wanna than But yeah, there is a smoking
there was a merit, there was marijuana paraphernalia at the scene. Uh,
let's go live to Stu Nicholson. Who's got the latest?
I mean, that's you know.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, I would say, though after a bit more research,
I'm I'm intrigued. I'm not gone down the whole catalog.
But you know, I hope it wasn't on a work computer.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, no, no, no. They say the chase took place
after a beer funnel gone awry. What is I don't
know what a beer funnel is? What is I don't
understand a beer?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
He's still fixated on beer and it was Syracuse exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The altercation happened after there was an upside down keg stand.
I don't know what that quite means. I assume that's
some kind of term the kids are using nowadays.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I don't thought kids.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I thought you were the kid. What the hell? I
don't I don't know what any of these are betraying
a fraud, I don't know. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Uh So, adult film star Mariah Mills called him out
on Twitter for allegedly seeing her at the same time
that he was dating the mother of his child.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Just seeing her, well seeing someone, I mean I mean yeah, no, no, no, no,
no yet no. Uh she.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Goes, she goes on social media and says how disappointed
she is that Zion didn't tell her and that, uh you,
I didn't know that you had a girlfriend. I mean,
I'm giving you the I'm giving you the g rated version.
I didn't know you had a girlfriend that was going
to have a baby, and you never told me. I
(17:59):
thought you were my man. This was the day for
Zion Williamson. So hey, I'm gonna have a kid. Oh
by the way, here comes an adult film star going,
I thought you were my man. And then there's all
these alleged text messages that were put out there that
she says were from him and everything, and uh yeah,
so maybe he's again, maybe's Ion not as injured as
(18:21):
we want.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Well, I mean she trusted the process to give me trust.
Part part of the uh twitter flow is that she
trusted the process and feels like she was hoodwinked. So
I mean that's part of it as well. He's got
a girlfriend. I did not see that coming.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Ah, Like Luke Wilson got a man, how did I
not see that coming?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
He's lost his arm? I did not see that coming. Yeah,
she's saying she might be. Uh, she says, now, but
is is she really or is that was that?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know? I'm just saying I am. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, she's saying it was open to the possibility based
on the way things Uh yes, oh.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Yeah, no, definitely again again allegedly allegedly allegedly is what
we're getting from from Mariah Milton.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
No, that's right, she is contesting. As of this point,
he is not replied to my no, no, no, no, no, no,
haven't I really have to say allegedly though, Well, well,
but by the way, did you did you see? I
mean and and not related but related story in terms
(19:36):
of the Jenners now wearing the starting five? Oh yeah,
yeah sure, Kim Kardashian wearing the Kendall's starting five. I
mean that was pretty good. Look.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I got to say this to every woman that I
have dated.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I'll drop my pants right here. When I was.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Involved with an adult film star, I told them right
off the bat. Listen, I I want you to know
I'm involved with an adult film star, and this is
how a relationship is going to be.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Now we are only one or two towns over, we're
going to be allowed. I mean, if you just walk
over to that gym right over there, right.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Now, listen, we're gonna be allowed to see other people.
Or this relationship is not gonna work. That's me I'm saying, listen,
as the kids, I'm gonna listen. I I date a
lot of women in the adult film industry, and and
you know this is how it goes.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
So Jason, does that mean if you're subscribe to their
only fans, you're dating them?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Is that how it works because they message you.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I'm saying, this was before the only fan back, this.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Is before only fans.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, okay, this is this is when you have I
was the fan. Not to be confused with Robert Tiro.
This is when you had to have cinemax. I mean
back when cinemax, or you had to have a friend
that had VHS tapes that that that was the only way.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
That's Please explain the millennials, please be kind and rewind plain.
Speaker 3 (20:50):

Hey, I got three movies in this because I recorded
on s LP super long play. Now the quality is
not as good, but because I put two, but I

You don'tkiss and tell O.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Come on, man, what a guy?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
It just gives out hats, not me. That's not why
she's wearing a hat might have might have come off,
not how I was. That's how we identify and that
is that is not how I was raised. Yes, I
was walking around with hats like a pez Dispenser baby.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
My grandfather used to tell me. In high school. He
would say to me, Hey, all your friends are kind
of dateless, like when I was a junior because I
didn't date. We're no dating. Oh, when I was a junior,
because I was still kind of I didn't really, I
wasn't really I didn't hit my hit like five six,
five sevenun till midwi through my junior year and the
beginning of the year. He would say him say to me,
so your friends are like kind of dating girls, right, Yeah, how.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Come you're not? How come I how come no girls
ever called a house? And I go, Pop, come on?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I had Claire called last week and Melissa called the
other day.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That was for homework.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm like, Pop, what what what he was? He was
like upset, like you thought I was missing. I'm like, Pop,
come on.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Hey, you kids got it? Oh the kid had no game.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I didn't get game until midway through my junior year.
That's that's when the kids got college. No, No, no, no,
high school, high school and then college college college.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I was, I was.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I was kind of like a little bit. I was
kind of like Ultron where I was like boy with
every passing second you said as a villain, but as
a knowledgeable as a knowledgeable person, like that's what I heard.
I heard with every passing second, I I I knew
more and more things and I was just about relationships.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Was more to people, Oh sure, more online research? Well,
actually it would have been before I need you know
what I needed was?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I needed well, okay, I needed to not be you know,
five to three in a group of a group of
friends who were all five nine. I needed not to
so I needed my height to catch up with my
mouth because that's my game, right, talking to girls and
time that that was my game.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I mean you got a game. I got game. I
got game. I got game. But I needed I need
to but just needed you look, just your choice of
words every either very intentional or what pretty haphazard? Just
talking talking.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I just did. That's my thing, right, That's what I
a little weird, I get it, but that's what I meant. Obviously.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I just love the top was listening to your phone
calls man, No, I was listening to.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
My phone calls.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
He was, let me give you some pointers.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
He used to get like, how the hell did he
know it was for homework.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Because he would hear me talking, okay, okay, what you
do is you drop the slope to the angle that's
y squared.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
And he would say, oh, he's just giving the kids
getting used. He's just telling them what to do. He's
writing papers for them.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
If we're using those angles for other things, remember no
angle of No.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Now, my grandfather's big move was always too like if
I was on the phone for too long, like he
would it was because back when he was the landlin
it was back no, no, no, it was back when there
were landlines, right, and so anybody could pick up anywhere,
and that I gotta explain. So it's a lanla where
anybody in the house wherever landla could pick it up
and be on the phone. So you shared a phone
(25:54):
his Well, the thing is there was a phone in
every floor of the house. That's insane. Yeah, that's how
where that's how he used to work it with you
in your pocket. Well now you can't, but back then
you couldn't. You could only go as far as the
cord would taste crazy. So there'd be times where, oh,
if I answer the phone in the in the kitchen,
I'm gonna take the phone all the way out to
the bag that we're gonna pull the cord as far
as possible. My grandmother would go.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
You just gonna stretch the corner and I gotta.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Buy a new one.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Let me just talk on the phone. So my grandfather's
big move was kind of like the in almost famous,
Like I'd be talking on the phone if he was
done with me talking on the phone because he wanted
me to get off for whatever reason he didn't like
I was still talking phone because it's late at night,
ten o'clock. He would get a phone and go hey Jay,
and I go yeah, Pop, And I'm talking to a
girl or something, and she starts giggling, like, what's going on?
(26:40):
You know it's ten thirty you have school in the morning. Yeah, yeah,
I'll get I have a second, get off, sega night get.
I was getting ready to clone pop SA, good night,
Get off the phone, hang up the phone, say good night.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I'm going Pop. I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Come downstairs when you're done, okay, Pop. And then I
just got okay, good night.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
You sort ready tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Markers Never, no, no, that would come down. He would say,
I just had to get off the phone. It's too late.
I want to go to bed. Why is that, Keith,
I'm upstairs on the phone. Why does it matter because
you're on the phone. He just didn't like it, just
didn't like that rules I know, just didn't like it.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Why why can't I be on the phone. So there
were times if I was calling somebody late at night
phone and just called to him, Hey, I just have
to whisper the entire tube, and if someone picks up
the phone, just hang up, just hang up, don't say anything,
don't say a word.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
The real question is how many times when you weren't
home did he pretend to be you?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
No? No, no, you do that now? The worst he
to do that whisper move.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
The most frustrating thing he did, which which I am
sure positive prevented me from dating a couple of girls,
is that there's a few times where I would come
home from work and it'd be like ten, ten thirty
whatever it was at night, whatever, and I would say, hey, Pop,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Nothing, And I'm going for like eight hours, right, because
I'm more like to because that's how he talked to
all he was.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
So that's how he talked. And I would say, hey,
anybody called.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He goes, Oh, yeah, yeah, a girl called for you
a couple hours ago.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Oh who was it?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
He goes, I don't know?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I go whoa? Oh he knew? Who wasn't?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
What was their name?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I know?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
They didn't say. They didn't say, really what happened? He goes,
they called, They asked for you. I said, you're not home.
They said fine, I can't talk about it. I'm right,
And that was it, right, and that was it, and
I wouldn't hear anything said. Like three days would go
by and I'd go to a party and I would say, hey,
what's going on? She goes, hey, and I would say,
what's the matter. You never called me back when I
(28:35):
called you on Tuesday. Oh, you're the one to call.
My grandfather didn't tell me who it was. Really, yes, really,
I told him it was me. He said he wrote
it down. He would tell you, like, no, he didn't.
He didn't tell me. And so that was like done
because she thinks I just completely blew her off and
I didn't call her back because I just didn't feel
like it. Now here at a party, going hey I'm here.
I kind of like, like, no, he never told me
(28:56):
you call. He did that so many times sometimes he
wouldn't even was a guy or a girl who called?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Who called? Pop?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I don't know when? Did they call? A while ago?
Who was it? I don't know, well, guy or a girl?
I forget what.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Did it sound like?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
They called and they asked for you. I said you're
not home and they said.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Okay, but you don't know. It was a boy? I
forget it was two hours ago?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Thanks Pop?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
That was it? Well? That when you know, it's the
ebb and flow of life.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Right now, Zion Williams Swims is listening, going, man, I
can't believe that's his life that he went through.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I can't believe that's what that guy went through. That's
the thing though. Did he win the internet today or
did he lose? I'm gonna say it's an L? Is
he really taking an L here? I'm gonna say pregnancy
announcement photos I'm gonna say, followed by the porn star.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And allegation it's not an L. But he's down fifteen
early in the fourth quarter. That's what I'm gonna say.
It's not enough quite yet.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Do you think he's got enough down effort? He's down here.
Did he come back and get the Dobie Man? When's
the last time he's played the fourth quarter? That's what
I mean. When's let's time he's played the first quarter?

This time it counts.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We're in safe.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Harbor now, so we're gonna get to that Zion Williamson
story coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Oh boy, hey, you know, just I it. He was
celebrating CESPDES. What are you talking about? Eased?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Will have it coming up?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
And now he said me play it fired in there,
don't you know. I gotta say, like you're like a
little kid. You just start giggling.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Look, look we'll get you know, we'll do this Zion
Williams story coming up in a few minutes, because there's
there's something that in this age of everything wanting everything.
I'll just say it right now to tease it for
coming up in a bit. Radio turn. Uh, when Zion's
trending today on Twitter and he's trending with a lot
like you know, you get up in the morning, you
see like something's trending with like a thousand tweets, like okay,
(01:20):
it's a slow time right now, and apparently nothing's happening politically,
which is why you know Dennis Savard is trending. You
know it's something crazy like that, right, Uh, he could
skate boy. And so Zion's trending. You know when I
first get up and I'm looking at everything and it's
got you know, he's got like fifty sixty thousand tweets like,
(01:40):
oh something BIG's when on the sion huge and I
And when you click on the person's name, usually when
something big is trending, within the first couple of tweets,
you see why, right Like you see why because someone says, oh,
why is DeAndre Hopkins trending? DeAndre Hopkins set to be
let go by the Cardinals will be a free Okay,
you understand why it's trending. But I go to Zion
(02:03):
Williamson and I'm sitting here scrolling going what the hell
is going on? I don't understand anything that's being said,
don't I don't know what any of this is, what
is going on? Then I try to go to the
top and go, okay, well the top day I still
don't get. I'm like, I don't understand because it's all
people reacting to what and I can't tell what it is.
And I'm going through it. I'm like, why is it
(02:24):
taking me like ten minutes to figure out why Zion
Williamson is trending? And it can't be him coming back.
It's not as simple as an injury thing. It's gotta
be something else that's more complex. Sure enough it is,
but I'm trying to look at him. Why take me
so long to figure this out? Why can't I figure this?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Ou? We need you refine your googling skill. I mean
that means I'm really scared of some of the search
terms that might have ended up as you tried to learn.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Okay, okay, okay, I mean not even going to barstool
helped me, and usually barstool helps with everything. I'm going
I don't get that. I don't get that. Well, it
gives you the story, like it's going to give you
the story right here?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You want a pizza review? While you're out one bite
bit It might be the first time anybody's endorsed any
because that's what I do. Out start taking like twelve bites,
that's what I do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I want one bite of pizza. That's exactly what I want.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yes, that's right. Uh so, and I'm like, okay, I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It took me a while, and I said, you know what,
I need to come back to the story.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's like when you're in.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
School and you're taking a test and the one problem
you just can't get your start sweating. You look at
the clock and you go, there's only twenty minutes left.
I got ten quicks. You know what. I gotta skip
and go. I don't like skipping going back, but I
gotta skip and go back with fresh eyes. So I
skipped it, and then I went back a little while later,
maybe a half hour forty five minutes later. I'm like, oh, okay,
now I get now, I see what's happening. Okay, but
it took me a while. I had to go back.
(03:43):
I had to go away from it, go back and
do it well. I mean, did you celebrate it once
you figured it out?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I didn't. Did you go down the rabbit hole they
celebrate like Sherlock Holmes. Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes I did.
In other words, what do you figured out the root
of the it's not a problem the issue the story.
Did you go and do deeper, maybe more extensive, longer
(04:08):
research on the principles because I.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Saw it and I said, no, that tracks. And then
I went to a very particular Twitter account to see
what the details were. That was pretty easy.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh okay, got it. And once you got those details,
got it? Did you go try to evaluate a performance? No,
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
My first thing was like, maybe he's not as injured
as they think he is. Maybe he's a little bit
healthier than you think.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, I mean he did have to activate the glutes,
maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
He is healthier than you think he is. So we'll
have Zion Williamson, yeah, coming up in a few minutes.
But and if you know the story, you're like, oh
my god. If not, you're like, I got to hear
what this is about. It's not my first banging each other. Hey,
oh who is it? Well I can't even say allegedly
because that's part of the story.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay, so well it is allegedly, But we got no veracity.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
On the whoa, well the one cause the one, Yeah,
that's what I said. That's that was that was happening.
We got one, yeah, the other we don't know, not yet. Again,
it wasn't me. Maybe maybe he's not as injured as
he thinks as we think.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Shagy may maybe maybe and not the one that goes.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But Game three of the NBA Finals goes to the
Nuggets in dominant style one nine ninety four. I told
you the beginning of the show, the Nuggets are going
to win this game going away because the Heat had there.
We're gonna get your attention game too. This wasn't a
Game two of whoa, the Heat can win the series.
(05:39):
That's not what it was. It pissed me off because
it ruined my nuggets in four pick. But maybe in
the end it's what the Nuggets needed because they weren't
playing well enough and playing to their capabilities. They didn't
play well down the stretch in Game one, but they
were still able to win Game two. You had Michael
Malone questioning everything that the Nuggets did in the fourth
(06:01):
quarter and giving that game away. We're not playing hard enough.
It's the NBA bleeping Finals. That game is going to
turn out to be the wake up call that turns
into the gentleman's sweep for the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, but we also have now heard post game from
Jimmy Butler in company saying we didn't have all our energy,
we didn't work hard enough for loose balls. It could
have been a different game. See, that's just it working hard.
You know what, from now on, nobody gets to use
that in their post game. We're taking the xie. You
don't can say any of that crap about effort.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
This is the.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Change about the NBA playoffs now is that the Heat
have built their culture around out working the opposition, buying
into what Eric Spolstra has been has been teaching and
coaching and never quitting, trying to stay in the game,
shoot your way back in, play great defense. Right, whether
Max Strews is oh for nine or Duncan Robinson's OH
(06:58):
for ten, we're still gonna shoot threes, we're still running offense,
we're still gonna do every We're gonna we're gonna out
effort the other team. And that's what Heat culture is,
and it should be everywhere else in the NBA. But
it's just not because as you see the Nuggets had
a problem in game in game two, now that he'd
have a problem here in game three. I'm like, come on, man,
I'm really finding a hard time being able to understand. Hey, yeah,
(07:22):
we're coming out flat in the playoffs. I get coming
out flat in regular season games. You're playing the second
night at back to backs, you're just not into it
as much. Your effort level's not there because you're tired.
I understand that. I get that during the regular season.
I don't get any time during the playoffs not being
able to get to get it going and get it
to the level you need to be to win a
playoff game. I don't understand. Oh, it's every other night.
(07:44):
It's the play You're getting paid a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
This is it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You're not playing, you're not playing back to back nights,
you're playing every other night. Your workouts are not that
strenuous here. This is when you find a way and
if you don't have it physically, I understand, but we
don't have an effort wise, come on, man, I mean
you don't see team you don't see teams coming out
flat in the NFL playoffs. You don't see teams coming
out flat in the baseball playoffs. But yet all the
(08:07):
time it's an excuse in the NBA players, we're out flat.
We're out flat. How about you suck it up and
play like you're supposed to because the lesson you're taught
your first day of pee wee sports, hour one lesson one,
good evening, good morning, good afternoon. My name is Jason,
I'm your coach. I know we had a lot of
people here with different talent skills. I'm gonna get to
(08:27):
know all of you. The number one thing you can
control is your effort. If you're not as good as
somebody else, I get it, But your effort is something
you can always put out the best fourth effort you can.
That's like, forget about day one out that's day one, hour,
one minute one. It's about effort. And yet still, oh,
you know, we didn't put our effort in. I realize
I'm finding it hard to have any sympathy for any
(08:48):
teams and at this point in the players or any
point in the playoffs, say yeah, we just didn't have
Just didn't you know we had? We had no effort
to But but it's the easy cop out. It's the
it's been the easy answer nobody questions like, so, why
do you think that is?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You went like for the Heat, like Jimmy Butler and
anybody else getting to a podium and giving that answer.
You got your win in Denver. Here's your chance to
really apply some pressure at home and your flat. Now,
they missed a lot of open jump shots. I'll let
someone else go through and rewatch it and try to
(09:22):
go through the subbruter film to decide who's open who's not,
because we can always fight about guys flashing out and
getting close to a basketball and what's good defense, close
defense versus I really missed my assignment and I got
to make it look good and try to get back
in the screen to look like I affected and change
(09:44):
the trajectory of the shot. How much of that I
don't know. All I know is watching the game. It
felt and look to me that the Heat had a
lot of opportunities and miss some wide open looks and
miss them badly. Gave Vincent was due for a bad game.
We had the he was sick going into game too.
Gave you a good effort tonight two of ten, one
(10:04):
of six from three point range, just seven points. Really
didn't dent the column anywhere else, couple of files struse
right back to being a nothing, and you had the
opportunity because the Nuggets essentially ran a two man game
until Christian Braun came in and ran around like his
hair was on fire and scored fifteen points. A guy
(10:26):
who might be able to transfer his talents if this
was college buckets to go down to Miami, because he
would really fit heat culture. I think, I really think
he would fit in with the amount of effort that
he gives effort. But the fact that throughout these playoffs,
and we've talked about it this year, last year, go
back to when load management became a thing, and it's
(10:48):
all about all right concerning I understand it to the
point and I'm not worried about little Janey and Johnny
or Johnny and Susie, whatever names you want to give
the fictional kids up in the three hundred level that
go to one game of year that they're They're not
who I'm concerned about. But you get to the playoffs
or go home. It's legacy building, it's it's next contracts
(11:09):
in having big performances in big moments. For a guy
like Jimmy Butler, all of the build up of this
playoff run on the other side, nicolea Jokic, So we
got Michael Malone or Butler himself or whoever talking about Yeah,
we just didn't have the effort. It just it makes
you laugh, Right, you coach your your kids soccer and
(11:30):
softball through the years, like that's that's the first thing
you tell them, Like, come on, just show up for
the two hours of practice we got. Let's go here,
nationally televised game. You're front and center eyes of the
sporting world, at least the ones that pay attention to
the NBA are watching it, and effort's not there. You
(11:50):
got a chance to take a lead in a series
of the NBA Finals at home, and you talk about
lethargy and inability to get your team to rise up. Like, really,
see antithesis of everything that you've tried to preach and
now you're going to try to just pass it up. Yeah,
we just didn't have it today. I really it really,

What did you have a sandwich? Did you not get
a good nap?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I mean, and there's look, and this is something that
falls on everybody, right for Michael Malone to be upset
about effort and to talk about it, okay, because yes,
these are professionals. A lot of guys are getting paid
a lot of money and in the propros. In the pros,
you need to be able to motivate yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
That's also a coaching moment, right, It's.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Always It's also a thing where if you're a coach
and you see your team not given the effort, that's
where time out right here, and then you get them
given the effort, right, I mean, that's something I had
to do it this weekend, uh, for for my girls.
We're playing the championship game and the second any things
were getting a little loose and I'll I'm like hey,
and I called time out and I went to the
mound and I was like, hey, this and this and
(13:05):
this and this and the and the kids look at
their eyes are open. I walk off and I go,
I know I had to get their attention. Did you
wait from that point?
Speaker 3 (13:12):

We did, buddy, Yeah we did. Five four won the championship.
Was awesome, But.

umpires are getting paid. But come on, umpires. Everything's fun.

I need to say something. It's not because I'm not
because you know me, I'm kind of what I am.
I want to have fun. I want to push the
girls forward and make them the best players they can be.
But once in a while, I got to get your
attention a little bit and boom, everything was there, and

next four innings, bang bang bang bang. It was fan

let's go live to Stu Nicholson. Who's got the latest?
I mean, that's you know.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, I would say, though after a bit more research,
I'm I'm intrigued. I'm not gone down the whole catalog.
But you know, I hope it wasn't on a work computer.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, no, no, no. They say the chase took place
after a beer funnel gone awry. What is I don't
know what a beer funnel is? What is I don't
understand a beer?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
He's still fixated on beer and it was Syracuse exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The altercation happened after there was an upside down keg stand.
I don't know what that quite means. I assume that's
some kind of term the kids are using nowadays.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I don't thought kids.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I thought you were the kid. What the hell? I
don't I don't know what any of these are betraying
a fraud, I don't know. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Uh So, adult film star Mariah Mills called him out
on Twitter for allegedly seeing her at the same time
that he was dating the mother of his child.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Just seeing her, well seeing someone, I mean I mean yeah, no, no, no, no,
no yet no. Uh she.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Goes, she goes on social media and says how disappointed
she is that Zion didn't tell her and that, uh you,
I didn't know that you had a girlfriend. I mean,
I'm giving you the I'm giving you the g rated version.
I didn't know you had a girlfriend that was going
to have a baby, and you never told me. I
(17:59):
thought you were my man. This was the day for
Zion Williamson. So hey, I'm gonna have a kid. Oh
by the way, here comes an adult film star going,
I thought you were my man. And then there's all
these alleged text messages that were put out there that
she says were from him and everything, and uh yeah,
so maybe he's again, maybe's Ion not as injured as
(18:21):
we want.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Well, I mean she trusted the process to give me trust.
Part part of the uh twitter flow is that she
trusted the process and feels like she was hoodwinked. So
I mean that's part of it as well. He's got
a girlfriend. I did not see that coming.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Ah, Like Luke Wilson got a man, how did I
not see that coming?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
He's lost his arm? I did not see that coming. Yeah,
she's saying she might be. Uh, she says, now, but
is is she really or is that was that?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know? I'm just saying I am. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, she's saying it was open to the possibility based
on the way things Uh yes, oh.

she's wearing a hat might have might have come off,
not how I was. That's how we identify and that
is that is not how I was raised. Yes, I
was walking around with hats like a pez Dispenser baby.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
My grandfather used to tell me. In high school. He
would say to me, Hey, all your friends are kind
of dateless, like when I was a junior because I
didn't date. We're no dating. Oh, when I was a junior,
because I was still kind of I didn't really, I
wasn't really I didn't hit my hit like five six,
five sevenun till midwi through my junior year and the
beginning of the year. He would say him say to me,
so your friends are like kind of dating girls, right, Yeah, how.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Come you're not? How come I how come no girls
ever called a house? And I go, Pop, come on?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I had Claire called last week and Melissa called the
other day.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That was for homework.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm like, Pop, what what what he was? He was
like upset, like you thought I was missing. I'm like, Pop,
come on.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Hey, you kids got it? Oh the kid had no game.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I didn't get game until midway through my junior year.
That's that's when the kids got college. No, No, no, no,
high school, high school and then college college college.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I was, I was.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I was kind of like a little bit. I was
kind of like Ultron where I was like boy with
every passing second you said as a villain, but as
a knowledgeable as a knowledgeable person, like that's what I heard.
I heard with every passing second, I I I knew
more and more things and I was just about relationships.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Was more to people, Oh sure, more online research? Well,
actually it would have been before I need you know
what I needed was?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I needed well, okay, I needed to not be you know,
five to three in a group of a group of
friends who were all five nine. I needed not to
so I needed my height to catch up with my
mouth because that's my game, right, talking to girls and
time that that was my game.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I mean you got a game. I got game. I
got game. I got game. But I needed I need
to but just needed you look, just your choice of
words every either very intentional or what pretty haphazard? Just
talking talking.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I just did. That's my thing, right, That's what I
a little weird, I get it, but that's what I meant. Obviously.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I just love the top was listening to your phone
calls man, No, I was listening to.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
My phone calls.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
He was, let me give you some pointers.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
He used to get like, how the hell did he
know it was for homework.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Because he would hear me talking, okay, okay, what you
do is you drop the slope to the angle that's
y squared.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
And he would say, oh, he's just giving the kids
getting used. He's just telling them what to do. He's
writing papers for them.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
If we're using those angles for other things, remember no
angle of No.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Now, my grandfather's big move was always too like if
I was on the phone for too long, like he
would it was because back when he was the landlin
it was back no, no, no, it was back when there
were landlines, right, and so anybody could pick up anywhere,
and that I gotta explain. So it's a lanla where
anybody in the house wherever landla could pick it up
and be on the phone. So you shared a phone
(25:54):
his Well, the thing is there was a phone in
every floor of the house. That's insane. Yeah, that's how
where that's how he used to work it with you
in your pocket. Well now you can't, but back then
you couldn't. You could only go as far as the
cord would taste crazy. So there'd be times where, oh,
if I answer the phone in the in the kitchen,
I'm gonna take the phone all the way out to
the bag that we're gonna pull the cord as far
as possible. My grandmother would go.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
You just gonna stretch the corner and I gotta.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Buy a new one.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Let me just talk on the phone. So my grandfather's
big move was kind of like the in almost famous,
Like I'd be talking on the phone if he was
done with me talking on the phone because he wanted
me to get off for whatever reason he didn't like
I was still talking phone because it's late at night,
ten o'clock. He would get a phone and go hey Jay,
and I go yeah, Pop, And I'm talking to a
girl or something, and she starts giggling, like, what's going on?
(26:40):
You know it's ten thirty you have school in the morning. Yeah, yeah,
I'll get I have a second, get off, sega night get.
I was getting ready to clone pop SA, good night,
Get off the phone, hang up the phone, say good night.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I'm going Pop. I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Come downstairs when you're done, okay, Pop. And then I
just got okay, good night.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
You sort ready tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Markers Never, no, no, that would come down. He would say,
I just had to get off the phone. It's too late.
I want to go to bed. Why is that, Keith,
I'm upstairs on the phone. Why does it matter because
you're on the phone. He just didn't like it, just
didn't like that rules I know, just didn't like it.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Why why can't I be on the phone. So there
were times if I was calling somebody late at night
phone and just called to him, Hey, I just have
to whisper the entire tube, and if someone picks up
the phone, just hang up, just hang up, don't say anything,
don't say a word.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
The real question is how many times when you weren't
home did he pretend to be you?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
No? No, no, you do that now? The worst he
to do that whisper move.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
The most frustrating thing he did, which which I am
sure positive prevented me from dating a couple of girls,
is that there's a few times where I would come
home from work and it'd be like ten, ten thirty
whatever it was at night, whatever, and I would say, hey, Pop,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Nothing, And I'm going for like eight hours, right, because
I'm more like to because that's how he talked to
all he was.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
So that's how he talked. And I would say, hey,
anybody called.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He goes, Oh, yeah, yeah, a girl called for you
a couple hours ago.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Oh who was it?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
He goes, I don't know?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I go whoa? Oh he knew? Who wasn't?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
What was their name?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I know?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
They didn't say. They didn't say, really what happened? He goes,
they called, They asked for you. I said, you're not home.
They said fine, I can't talk about it. I'm right,
And that was it, right, and that was it, and
I wouldn't hear anything said. Like three days would go
by and I'd go to a party and I would say, hey,
what's going on? She goes, hey, and I would say,
what's the matter. You never called me back when I
(28:35):
called you on Tuesday. Oh, you're the one to call.
My grandfather didn't tell me who it was. Really, yes, really,
I told him it was me. He said he wrote
it down. He would tell you, like, no, he didn't.
He didn't tell me. And so that was like done
because she thinks I just completely blew her off and
I didn't call her back because I just didn't feel
like it. Now here at a party, going hey I'm here.
I kind of like, like, no, he never told me
(28:56):
you call. He did that so many times sometimes he
wouldn't even was a guy or a girl who called?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Who called? Pop?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I don't know when? Did they call? A while ago?
Who was it? I don't know, well, guy or a girl?
I forget what.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Did it sound like?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
They called and they asked for you. I said you're
not home and they said.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Okay, but you don't know. It was a boy? I
forget it was two hours ago?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Thanks Pop?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
That was it? Well? That when you know, it's the
ebb and flow of life.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Right now, Zion Williams Swims is listening, going, man, I
can't believe that's his life that he went through.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I can't believe that's what that guy went through. That's
the thing though. Did he win the internet today or
did he lose? I'm gonna say it's an L? Is
he really taking an L here? I'm gonna say pregnancy
announcement photos I'm gonna say, followed by the porn star.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And allegation it's not an L. But he's down fifteen
early in the fourth quarter. That's what I'm gonna say.
It's not enough quite yet.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Do you think he's got enough down effort? He's down here.
Did he come back and get the Dobie Man? When's
the last time he's played the fourth quarter? That's what
I mean. When's let's time he's played the first quarter?
