Speaker 3 (00:22):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Let's get started. Of course, last night Pacers and Knicks.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I told you, I just I never thought that they
were going to the Knicks were gonna win that game.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I know, they got kind of kick it close, but
I just didn't feel it. And I knew that the
Pacers weren't going to sweep the Knicks or whatever. But
my takeaway from Game four and the Pacer now up
three to one and Knicks would have to win three
straight games. It's not happening. Can they push it back
after going home? For yeah, they could, you know what
I mean. But to me, I'm there when it comes
(00:58):
to the Pacers. But my takeaway is that I would
take Tyrese Halliburton any day of the week over Jalen Brunson.
And I know Jalen Brunson won two championships in college
and I know what kind of a score he is
(01:21):
and fearless and he was what the clutch player of
the Year this year and all that other stuff. But
when you watch Tyrese Halliburton and the performance he put
on last night, Rob do you got the numbers, the
full numbers, thirty two points?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
You got them? Yeah? It was actually remarkable what he
did when he started.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Seriously, you know basketball, those are incredible numbers in a
postseason game, especially the last number.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, so you're looking at a guy who gave you
thirty two, fifteen and twelve zero turn.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
There's the number you want to talk about nothing in
my refrigerator or are trying to lose.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Weight and all that zero zero? And you know this
handling the basketball, right who usually leads the team with turnover?
Point guards?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It ain't because they're not. They handle the ball more
than anybody else. Oh you got a ton of turnover. Yeah,
he's a point guard. He's going to turn the ball over.
Trying to force passes and trying to do this and that.
Steady not flashy, Jalen Brunson, more star power, I get it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The big games, all that.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
The part that I love the most about Halliburton is
it when the moment's never too big for him. I
think that's what's impressive. Steady, not flashy, but the moment comes.
Not afraid, point are past first, But when it comes
(03:04):
down to it, is he giving up the rock like it's.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
A hot potato? No way, no how, He's not afraid.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Me and you.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We talk about Chauncey Billups all the time. He got
the nickname mister big Shot. He got it for a reason,
didn't he making big shot? Making big shot, not afraid
to take that shot? Tyree's Halliburton. Not only is he
not afraid to take the shot, he makes the shot.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
What part don't you like? You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Because I'd rather have Halliburton and then Jaylen Brunson. Doesn't
mean Jayleen bruns is a bomb and he can't play.
That's not what I'm saying. If you honestly gave me
both and said, who do you want to lead you
to a championship? My biggest knock against Brunson is when
Cat is out there on the court with him.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't even know it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Seventeen eighteen Dribbles, Dribble, Dribble dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Now I need to put up a shot, right shot.
Clock's running down.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Tyre's Halliburton put on a clinic last night in the
biggest game of the series, cause the Knicks could have
got back in it would have winn yesterday and it
was a closer game until they pulled away in the
fourth quarter. I would I take Caliburton over Brunson.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
So I'm taking Tyrese Halliburton as well. You know, I
call him what the halle right now, That's what I'm
calling him, what the Halliburton for a couple of reasons.
Look at his name. I want you to put your
glasses on, Rob, put your glasses on. Read what I
wrote here that name right there.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You wrote Chauncey Billups too.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I wrote Chauncey Billups and I put Chauncey Billups stories
on my little you know notes to do this. The
reason I wrote Chauncey Billup's story is because Chauncey Billups
came to the Pistons and you covered them.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You were there. I was there every night that what
it's time to be live.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
He came, Remember he came as one of the first
kind of combo guards. He was supposed to be scoring,
coming to do my thing. And what happened The next
year they got who Larry Brown? And you know the
battle him and Larry had for that bit, I need
you to be a pure point guard more I need
you to and it was.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
An adjustment and they went at it all the time.
What happened He wound up be in the finals MVP,
and he credited Larry Brown.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
With turning his career around. And the reason Brown was
a point guard you absolutely up in New York.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And the reason I bring that up is because I
look at Tyre's Halliburton and it reminds me of a
phrase we use all the time. Styles make fights. Styles
make fights. What style do you want? Do you want
to god d da da da da throws a bunch
of punches. Do you got the little bit more measured guy.
Do you want the guy who goes for more body shots?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You want the head?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
There are multiple ways to win games, but just to me,
by dominating the ball doesn't mean you're dominating in the
win column. And I think Jalen Brunton to me, reminds
me of that. You have to realize sometimes you gotta
take it to the next level to incorporate other guys.
You gotta get to that next level. I gotta bring
guys in. I gotta pick and choose when I'm gonna go.
(06:10):
And I give you an example of guys who don't
think of as past first guys, but they even realize
I have to do this a bit differently, get guys
involved to win.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Kobe Bryant. Kobe Ryan is a flat out scoring machine.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
We all know that, but Kobe Bryant realize, Man, I
got pow Gasol down there, he's dominating down there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I got Andrew bid them.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I gotta get these guys involved in order for me
to win, because me putting up thirty five to forty
five is not gonna cut at night in night out.
Let me make sure everybody eats. And even Kobe got
like that. Even MJ who is one of all time
greatest scorers, if not the greatest scorer we've ever seen,
even realize that. Okay, I'm putting up thirty five thirty
seven a game. I'm gonna have to start getting guys involved.
(06:50):
Jalen Brunton is in that phase where he's gonna have
to start getting guys involved, and it can't be. I
close my eyes and I'm determined to score. I'm running
in the guy's chest. Tyriez Halliburton plays that kind of
ball everybody wants to play with. If you're at the
pick up courts in New York, pick up courts in
Detroit and you see him moving the ball, dribble, dribble, Okay,
move dribble, dribbles, shoot, You're like, man, that guy, I
(07:12):
want to play with him. Everybody's eating the ball movement.
Everybody can score. Tonight's Pascal Siakam, Tonight is Halliburton, Tonight
is Nick Smith, Tonight his mouse turner, and it's that
kind of fun basketball. Rob G brought up a number
yesterday I thought was incredible of all the players, he
was twenty ninth in player efficiency usage rate. I'm sorry,
(07:32):
his usage rate from a point guard in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
That is crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
You look at kind of the guys that Donovan Mitchell's,
the Lucas, the uh As we mentioned, Jalen Brunson's, there's
a lot of usage going on and Tyre's hall got.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The ball exact and hold on to it, and he.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Can do that without having the ball and still get
you thirty to thirty two, fifteen and twelve and zero zero.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Mich is crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
So he's playing high caliber basketball, high i Q basketball.
It's fun to watch his teams believes in them and
what in last point I'll make he said it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I love this part. Rob.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
He took accountability for Game three. He said, I felt
like I let them down. We were a big I
kind of took my foot off the gas. I wanted
to bounce back and show my team that we as
a team can bounce back and I can play better
after our backs against the wall and we made some mistakes.
I love that, Love what he's given. Jaylen Brunton is
a heck of a player, a dominating player. But I
(08:29):
am expecting him at some point to realize I gotta
get everyone involved to be the best version of our team.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
It's the hour couple Rob Parker Kevin Washington on a
worship Wednesday. That's right, and we joined now by asking
the cole mass Knicks super fan, CBS Sports two PHQ
host and shoot analysts asking the cole Moss on Twitter,
where she does not play around. If you follow her,
she's gonna let you know how she feels. What's up
as what's happening?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Well, that's up, guys, How are you good?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Good? Shoot?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I've been saying the last week or two, Darmnham got
all the smoke from keeping his hands in his pockets.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I know you saw that timms.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
He keeps his hands crossed on it keeps the same
little RBF face.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Was is he doing anything? Said, he's doing a bad job. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
So here's the thing with Chid's right. I think that
he is a good coach. Definitely not going to knock him.
And I think he was the right coach for the
Knicks at the time that he was hired. And I
think a lot of the good things you see about
the New York Knicks, you have to give him credit
for those things. And each and every season this team
got better under him, and obviously with what the front
office is doing. But I think that even though you
(09:49):
still have the locker room, even though you still have
the support of the guys in the locker room, doesn't
necessarily mean that you are the right coach for where
this team is and how they are currently constructed. And
that's kind of how I feel with Tibbs. I think
his coaching style has run its course with this Mix team,
and I honestly think that with the way that he
(10:10):
likes to coach, there's just no longevity there. When it
comes to how the NBA is currently constructed, you have
to be willing to go to your bench, you have
to be willing to make adjustments in the game real time.
One of the best to do is Eric Spolstra, and
I just think TIB's hardheadedness when it comes to that
(10:32):
aspect will never allow this Mix team to finally reach
that mountain top, which is ultimately a championship.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
All right, So a question about Game one, How depressed
were you after watching that meltdown? Historic meltdown and who
did you blame for that.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I was extremely depressed. I was extremely shell shocked, and
for me, that was a combination of both the players
and Tibbs. I think fat as you watch that game, unrivaled,
I don't think the adjustments there were made in terms
of trying to stop the bleeding. I don't think there
was enough emphasis on the defensive aspects. But look, you
(11:11):
also can't force the players to commit to four quarters
of defense. That's the responsibility of the guys on the floor,
and they didn't hold up there end of the bargain.
You can't put that on Tis. You can scream and
yell at your guys. If they're not going to commit,
then that's on them. So those defensive lapses are also
on the guys actually wearing the jersey. So for me,
(11:31):
I give that blame to both parties.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I know you're a Nick super fan, but if you
really had a choice between halla Burton of Brunson, who
are you taking as your point guard?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Because I know who I'm taking and he doesn't play your.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I'm still taking Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Why why did you watch yesterday?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Did you watch the game yesterday?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Listen?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Players, I watch every next game. Players have bad games.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm not bad games.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I'm talking to about the job in New York about
to come out sun. She Finish said, what are you
talking about, Rob? What are you talking about out?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm just asking you. Did you see the Picasso?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The masterpiece that was I did painted by Halliburton?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Absolutely and look, no turnovers. My hat has a loft
to him that is not easy to do in any game.
But it's specifically a playoff game with how the speed
is the physicality of that game specifically. But I can't
put a bad game on Brunson. A lot of what
the Knicks have accomplished this season, a lot of what
you have seen the Knicks do this postseason, has been
(12:35):
on the back of Jalen Brunson. He is the most consistent,
most reliable player in a New York Knicks jersey, and
I will take him ten times out of ten times.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Well, let me ask you this then, Ashley.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
By the way, Ashley Nicole Moss is our guest super
fan of the Knicks, also CBS Sports HQ host and analysts.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Let me go to the other guy.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Why in part in the non proper English, why folk
can't they play together?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Kat?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
And it seems like Himan Brunt say is like, all right,
well you go, all right, we go. There's not a
fluidity that historically point guards are a big like that
pick and roll, pick and pop, it kind of flows
a little bit better. What seems to be their challenge
of not having some type of rhythm together you know, it's.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
A good question, and I don't know if it's you know,
you're going again to PACER's team, who although look, their
season last year ended with the Boston Celtics sleeping, then
they have postseason experience together, and the regular season and
the postseason are two different things. Like I said, the
seed change, the physicality changes. As we have seen specifically
on the Eastern Conference, what you did in the regular
(13:37):
season does not mean anything once you get to the playoffs.
So I don't know if what Kat and Jalen Brunson
were able to do in the regular season, I don't
know if they're inexperienced together in the postseason and starting
to show itself some more because there were spurts during
the regular season that you said, oh, this is really
gonna work, and something has gone a Why something is
(14:00):
off between the two of them, specifically in the speed
of this matchup against the Pacers, and I don't know
if that's just because they haven't had that postseason experience together.
Only time will tell, But I don't think it's like
a cause to ring the alarm and blow up the team.
I don't think we're at that point.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
By the way, Rob I think if I zoomed in
enough on video, I think I saw Ashley was out
there being people that would trash you, the Pacer fan.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I think I think I could be wrong.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I was like, maybe met there.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Well, a lot of New Yorkers will have to, uh
deal with this because after Game one, I was pretty
sure that the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Weren't gonna win this series.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And I told Calvin that, uh and and they'll look
back at this even though, if you want to be truthful,
the Pacers beat the Knicks last year in seven games,
including winning Game seven at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no, no stretch.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
To get out injured, no no, no, no, no no.
The Knicks who were on the court, where are those
uniforms lost in Game seven?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I mean, you got you gotta play with who's there? Correct?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, but it injured Knicks teams different than We could
sit here all day and talk about injuries.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
People get injured all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Steph Curry won a championship with injured players on the Cavaliers.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
We could talk about that all day.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The bottom line is this will be two years in
a row that the Pacers will have extinguished the Knicks,
and they better get this fixed because it'll be another
uh fifty years if the Knicks try to win a championship.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
I'm just saying, listen, I'm not giving the Pacers last year.
Last year was a fluke. This year's legit. I will
I will say that I was wrong about the Pacers
going into this season.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Did you yet?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
What did you do? Did you pick a sweep up
for the Knicks or not?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I did not know. I actually had Nickson seven. So
we're still on course for the plan that we haven't
had to abandon the plan yet. We're still good. But
I'm gonna be honest. I did not have the Pacers
coming out of that CAB series. I thought the Calves
were going to win, and I thought, if anything, it
was going to possibly be Nick versus Cleveland or Boston
versus Cleveland. The Paces were not on my radar. I
(16:13):
think a lot of people felt the same way that
they were a good team, that they showed signs of
being a tough team to play against, definitely in a
playoff series. But ultimately I think most people were not
expecting the Calves to just self destruct the way that
they did in that series.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Well, I tell all right, So she's keeping hope alive.
The game seven is still the possibility. Jesse John, Yeah,
you keep hope alive. She's trying get you out here
on this. We let's go to the Western Conference. We've
got a game coming up tonight. And Edwards and Julius
Randall had bad games. Twenty shots field goal attempts total
between the two of them. But the Thunder team, we've
had conversations about how good great all time they are.
(16:51):
Where do you rank this team as far as what
they've done some historic numbers defensively historic number as far
as point differential and their wins. Are they that good
or that that great? Are we not giving them enough credit?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
I mean, who's not giving them credit? Are you not
giving them credit?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Listen? They can win the championship. And if you ask
me in ten years, I will forgo, oh yeah, KD.
Russ and J Yeah that I would think you're talking
about that Thunder team. They need more dynamic flare, some personality.
Ask for you know that?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Come on then the or Boys Listen. I will say this,
I think that we have to give credit where credit
to do. The Western Conference is extremely difficult to come
out on and we're talking about a team sixty plus wins,
and this is a young team. Their average age is,
what's twenty four years old. It's almost unheard of. And
it has been kind of this narrative in the NBA
(17:40):
for as long as I can remember that young teams
can't win championships, and this OKC team is squashing every
single one of those narratives. Outside of just the insane season,
the MVP SGA has had the fact that they've been
able to kind of bounce back from games that it
looked like they were abandoning. What got them this far
to be battle tested by what I think is still
(18:02):
a phenomenal basketball team and the Denver Nuggets and the
best basketball player in the world in Nicole Jokic. You
have to give credit they they went seven games with
those guys took down me very best. It's it's nothing
to just, you know, stick your nose in the air
about This team is legit, and if they win this championship,
I think it's going to put them in a conversation
(18:23):
as a league of their own, especially when you talk
about these young teams in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Ashley, I hope I'm gonna say this with all due
respect that you kept the tags on your pom pom
Nicks pom pomps and you can return them to the
store after the game.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, you heard that. Never, never, never, I can't even
do how you did it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Never, All right, I was giving you an option to
try to save you money and all that kind of stuff,
because I leave the ears about, I leave the tags on.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, just to make sure way Robbins won.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Right now, I got to get it for you, ro
I see it right, Give my tag along, all right, Ashley,
thank you so much, ashing the cole Moss give her

Speaker 6 (20:53):
Let me set it up. Pat, geez, I'm sorry back
in the back for seven years, you didn't know how
this works.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
There we go. Pat says that JJ McCarthy will be.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
The franchise quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings and he's gonna
be a Pro Bowler.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Now you got thirty seconds. That your case, all right?
So we have JJ McCarthy. He's the Michigan man from
Jim Harbaughs Michigan. I know he was the handoff guy,
but what he's looked like in just preseason and prior
to getting hurt and even ota today, he's slicing and dicing.
He's throwing the guys left and right. He's got that
(21:28):
winning smile, he's got the IQ to go with it.
The man is a student of the game. And what's
that He's only twenty two years old. He is the
next up and coming Minnesota Bikings guy.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Right now, I would take JJ from Good Times over
JJ McCarthy. Patrick for re only gonna be a Pro
Bowlers first year coming off an injury.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Stop it. I know you're hoping and wishing, but it
ain't happening.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He's gonna be on the side line, probably wearing khakis
like he should have been at Michigan.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Rob, come on, he's got the look. He's like six
foot three, six foot four. He does have an arm.
Everybody says he doesn't have an arm because he just
hands it off. He can throw it deep. He's got
some legs to him even with that injury. He's got
the greatest wide receiver in the NFL with justin the
(22:28):
Jets Jefferson, and he's gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Patty, pat you're my man that I gotta cook you
and flay you real quick if you tell me about
his legs, his looks, and his smile one more time.
What is this the Bachelor? Don't nobody want to hear
all about that? I watched him every snap at Michigan.
You know him from ann Arbreichelman Armor and every person
I know, including Martin Wis who went to Missicanna Bear,
we are all shocked he went that high. Like him,
good guy played the game and they won, But in
(22:53):
no way he was supposed to get taken that high.
And you guys are about to see why everybody was shocked, y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Draft Patrick, it's good to see you, hello, Alexander.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Let me ask you one thing, Patrick, Yes, sir, what
do you think about me?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Alex You know.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
I think nothing about the world about you. Anytime I'm
working with you, whether it's in this room or right
next to you, you know, you've always been my day one.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
And he knows how to get a point. Patrick. It's
the first round, is what it's come to. Man, all right,
here we go, take number two, the hot seat. Alex
is gonna be so mad when I cut his hair
one day. Patrick sweek, No, that's it. We're gonna I'm
gonna distract him and then snip snip, and then he'll be, uh,
you know, without his super power producer to the stars.
(23:37):
Here on the eye couple. Here we go, take number two.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Pat says that Jalen Milroe, who rob has never missed
the Jaylen Milro game miss, will be a.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Star for the Seahawks and be the next star threat
quarter black. By the way, he's black in the NFL.
Go for black quarterback.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Jalen Milroe, Alabama roll Tide man himself. He came off
having a kind of a bad year this past year.
But you know what, he's got an arm, he's got
legs with him. He's gonna be like the next Jaden Daniels,
if not the next Lamar Jackson. He's gotta work on
some stuff very raw, but you know what, in the
right system and right situation, he's gonna be the next
(24:21):
bona fide superstar.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So, Patrick, it's obvious that you're a Seattle fan and
you've watched a lot of bad football and quarterbacks over
the years, because anybody who puts on a team uniform
you think it's gonna be great. Come on, Patrick, what
are you talking about? Oh, let me see, he's coming
off a bad year, but I think he's gonna be dynamite.
And Patrick, I'm not saying you're stereotypical, you know football fan.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Well, he's a guy, he's black, and he's got a bead,
so we must be good league, so he must be that.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
What you're saying, Rob, what does that happen to do
with anything, Alex, I'm.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Looking at more of him. It's just the player himself.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
But Rob, come on, I mean prior to his last year,
he actually played pretty good the year before that, and
you know what, it's different in college to pros. These
are NFL pro coaches. Now they're gonna coach him up.
And he's got pure talent Jackson Smith and Jigba. He's
now got Cooper Cup. He's got an offense around him.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
You know you sound like right now, perhaps you sound
like a girl who keeps going back to a project.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Man.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Girl, I know he's not doing this. I know he's
not doing that, but I promise I can change it.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Every time I saw him, he was always underperforming. It's
a big game, it's a big moment, and he came
up short. I saw with my own eyes in a
rose ball against Michigan. He never delivered when he was
supposed to. And just because he looks the part, he's
ripped up and he's fast, doesn't mean it's gonna translate.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He ain't even as good as Justice Fields.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
I have to say, I'm utterly shocked and also captivated
that the great Rob Parker was able to make us
aware that Patrick is. Indeed, I just said it, there
you go, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I don't want how to say it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I mean, and you know what, I knew it too,
because Patrick always brought in the white chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
All Right, we go last take of the night, the
hottest taken the night We stayed that that's gotta be racist.
Fox Boards Radio Weekend Producer Editor Associate Producer Extraordinaire Patrick
sweek In on the hot seat with the High Couple.
Here we go Patrick's mom in case you guys know,
pulling back the curtain has brought in some tremendous baked
goods to the studio. In fact, Pat says that his
(26:40):
mom baked goods and cookies, no doubt about it, are
the best sweets alive in the US of A, in
the world, America, in the galaxy. Pat, you got thirty seconds,
stay your case.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Kelvin, Rob and everybody else here in this building, y'all
know exactly my mama's cookies are and what they taste like.
In fact, not just them, all the baked goods that
she's made. You're telling me that you've had better, cause
I know anytime I bring him in, everybody everybody goes,
oh my god, I see the dances I've seen Alex
(27:15):

even he's like, I gotta have some. Kelvin you even
made you made a term for my mother's cookies. And
I know you know exactly that I have a dream cookies.
I know to bate me on that. There ain't no
way anyone tops my mom's.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
First of all, I want you to know the delay
great Mary Parker. When I was growing up, her nickname
was Betty Crocker. My mom was the best baker. She
baked everybody's birthday cake. What mom bakes everybody's birthday cake
in the neighborhood. That's how good her stuff was. And
you've heard of missus Field's cookies, Patrick, your mom's cookies.
(27:56):
If we had to give it a name, missus outa
left Field cookies.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Now, Rob, Rob, I got two words for you. Stop it.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
Every time for the last year or so she comes
out the cookies. You haven't even had the recent editions
because I'm on the dart to win for cheese cooking October.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So it's not reason for you.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
You gotta wait, all right, Listen, I hate to do
this because you know how I feel about mama sweeking
the cookies. But mama Sweek of cookies ain't my wife's cookies.
And I'm actually talking about the cookies too. Okay, they're
talking about the actual ones that are going in the oven,
all right. They are the ones that we always wait
for every Christmas weekend. I gotta bring you out something.
We get the whole ten full of them. She makes
(28:43):
them all the time. As matter of fact, my kids
gained eleven pounds because of them. The delicious baby. I'm
coming home, And a matter of fact, I want some
cookies and cookies too, if you know what I'm saying.
With that being said, Mama Sweeker, go ahead and give
me some cookies. I really wouldn't mind.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Some of those.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Gun Did you just reference some else while you were
referencing cookies?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
No, say cookies. She uses flour, brown sugar. Yeah, it's good. Okay,
put them in the oven, three fifty. Put them in
the oven.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
Also, I would like to jump on the train and
say this, Patrick, you're a new bee here compared to
myself almost at the tenure, and my mom has been
making cookies every December for everybody here on a couple wins,
easy choice.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
How we do.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Nice job, Patrick, Mama Sweeker, I know, I love I
know your mom is listening.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
It's all good. Color. I haven't dreamed it one day.
Tell them that they closed her cookie store at the
mall too. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
She be unit and she had a chocolate the white
chocolate brownch I don't even know it was a brown chocolate.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
See me United United Nations cookie. And Patrick gets okay,
you're still racist? Why why? Patrick? You did good?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And if only we all had a Patrick in our
life to believe in us no matter what, like JJ
and Jalen have you in their corner.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Get you a guy that looks at you like I
do with JJ McCarthy and any quarterback with a jay
apparently you love him.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Martin.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Am I lying that that that JJ McCarthy was okay.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
We were like, yeah, he's our quarterback. Good, but tenth
pick can't confirm. Thank you, and I'll all the whole
summer leading up to it, as Harbaugh was saying I
take him, I was like, well, trade Justin Herbert and
you draft him.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
To everybody from Michigan or went to Michigan, we are like, uh.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Remember the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I was there the first play.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Dude, he was, yeah, So I mean it's sincerely I've
said it to Rob when we talked Sam Donald j McCarthy.
I have been blown away at I'm like, did I
miss something? For a couple of years I thought the
same thing. I used to get mad when they threw
the ball. That is not the sign of a first
round quarterback to me. And in the first round to
jump up the tenth to get him, that was crazy.
But either way great, John Patrick, appreciate it. Mama, sweet,
(30:46):
you know what I need.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I need. I need what I need. You know I
need it. I know she's listening you. Maybe she'd be
cooking on Instagram too. She'd be going, I had a
glisy in my mouth. My all right, what is that
sauce on your back? You told you tenderizing that? Man,
this is out of line today

Speaker 3 (00:22):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Let's get started. Of course, last night Pacers and Knicks.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I told you, I just I never thought that they
were going to the Knicks were gonna win that game.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I know, they got kind of kick it close, but
I just didn't feel it. And I knew that the
Pacers weren't going to sweep the Knicks or whatever. But
my takeaway from Game four and the Pacer now up
three to one and Knicks would have to win three
straight games. It's not happening. Can they push it back
after going home? For yeah, they could, you know what
I mean. But to me, I'm there when it comes
(00:58):
to the Pacers. But my takeaway is that I would
take Tyrese Halliburton any day of the week over Jalen Brunson.
And I know Jalen Brunson won two championships in college
and I know what kind of a score he is
(01:21):
and fearless and he was what the clutch player of
the Year this year and all that other stuff. But
when you watch Tyrese Halliburton and the performance he put
on last night, Rob do you got the numbers, the
full numbers, thirty two points?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
You got them? Yeah? It was actually remarkable what he
did when he started.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Seriously, you know basketball, those are incredible numbers in a
postseason game, especially the last number.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, so you're looking at a guy who gave you
thirty two, fifteen and twelve zero turn.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
There's the number you want to talk about nothing in
my refrigerator or are trying to lose.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Weight and all that zero zero? And you know this
handling the basketball, right who usually leads the team with turnover?
Point guards?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It ain't because they're not. They handle the ball more
than anybody else. Oh you got a ton of turnover. Yeah,
he's a point guard. He's going to turn the ball over.
Trying to force passes and trying to do this and that.
Steady not flashy, Jalen Brunson, more star power, I get it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The big games, all that.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
The part that I love the most about Halliburton is
it when the moment's never too big for him. I
think that's what's impressive. Steady, not flashy, but the moment comes.
Not afraid, point are past first, But when it comes
(03:04):
down to it, is he giving up the rock like it's.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
A hot potato? No way, no how, He's not afraid.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Me and you.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We talk about Chauncey Billups all the time. He got
the nickname mister big Shot. He got it for a reason,
didn't he making big shot? Making big shot, not afraid
to take that shot? Tyree's Halliburton. Not only is he
not afraid to take the shot, he makes the shot.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
What part don't you like? You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Because I'd rather have Halliburton and then Jaylen Brunson. Doesn't
mean Jayleen bruns is a bomb and he can't play.
That's not what I'm saying. If you honestly gave me
both and said, who do you want to lead you
to a championship? My biggest knock against Brunson is when
Cat is out there on the court with him.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't even know it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Seventeen eighteen Dribbles, Dribble, Dribble dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Now I need to put up a shot, right shot.
Clock's running down.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Tyre's Halliburton put on a clinic last night in the
biggest game of the series, cause the Knicks could have
got back in it would have winn yesterday and it
was a closer game until they pulled away in the
fourth quarter. I would I take Caliburton over Brunson.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
So I'm taking Tyrese Halliburton as well. You know, I
call him what the halle right now, That's what I'm
calling him, what the Halliburton for a couple of reasons.
Look at his name. I want you to put your
glasses on, Rob, put your glasses on. Read what I
wrote here that name right there.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You wrote Chauncey Billups too.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I wrote Chauncey Billups and I put Chauncey Billups stories
on my little you know notes to do this. The
reason I wrote Chauncey Billup's story is because Chauncey Billups
came to the Pistons and you covered them.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You were there. I was there every night that what
it's time to be live.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
He came, Remember he came as one of the first
kind of combo guards. He was supposed to be scoring,
coming to do my thing. And what happened The next
year they got who Larry Brown? And you know the
battle him and Larry had for that bit, I need
you to be a pure point guard more I need
you to and it was.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
An adjustment and they went at it all the time.
What happened He wound up be in the finals MVP,
and he credited Larry Brown.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
With turning his career around. And the reason Brown was
a point guard you absolutely up in New York.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And the reason I bring that up is because I
look at Tyre's Halliburton and it reminds me of a
phrase we use all the time. Styles make fights. Styles
make fights. What style do you want? Do you want
to god d da da da da throws a bunch
of punches. Do you got the little bit more measured guy.
Do you want the guy who goes for more body shots?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You want the head?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
There are multiple ways to win games, but just to me,
by dominating the ball doesn't mean you're dominating in the
win column. And I think Jalen Brunton to me, reminds
me of that. You have to realize sometimes you gotta
take it to the next level to incorporate other guys.
You gotta get to that next level. I gotta bring
guys in. I gotta pick and choose when I'm gonna go.
(06:10):
And I give you an example of guys who don't
think of as past first guys, but they even realize
I have to do this a bit differently, get guys
involved to win.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Kobe Bryant. Kobe Ryan is a flat out scoring machine.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
We all know that, but Kobe Bryant realize, Man, I
got pow Gasol down there, he's dominating down there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I got Andrew bid them.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I gotta get these guys involved in order for me
to win, because me putting up thirty five to forty
five is not gonna cut at night in night out.
Let me make sure everybody eats. And even Kobe got
like that. Even MJ who is one of all time
greatest scorers, if not the greatest scorer we've ever seen,
even realize that. Okay, I'm putting up thirty five thirty
seven a game. I'm gonna have to start getting guys involved.
(06:50):
Jalen Brunton is in that phase where he's gonna have
to start getting guys involved, and it can't be. I
close my eyes and I'm determined to score. I'm running
in the guy's chest. Tyriez Halliburton plays that kind of
ball everybody wants to play with. If you're at the
pick up courts in New York, pick up courts in
Detroit and you see him moving the ball, dribble, dribble, Okay,
move dribble, dribbles, shoot, You're like, man, that guy, I
(07:12):
want to play with him. Everybody's eating the ball movement.
Everybody can score. Tonight's Pascal Siakam, Tonight is Halliburton, Tonight
is Nick Smith, Tonight his mouse turner, and it's that
kind of fun basketball. Rob G brought up a number
yesterday I thought was incredible of all the players, he
was twenty ninth in player efficiency usage rate. I'm sorry,
(07:32):
his usage rate from a point guard in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
That is crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
You look at kind of the guys that Donovan Mitchell's,
the Lucas, the uh As we mentioned, Jalen Brunson's, there's
a lot of usage going on and Tyre's hall got.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The ball exact and hold on to it, and he.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Can do that without having the ball and still get
you thirty to thirty two, fifteen and twelve and zero zero.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Mich is crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
So he's playing high caliber basketball, high i Q basketball.
It's fun to watch his teams believes in them and
what in last point I'll make he said it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I love this part. Rob.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
He took accountability for Game three. He said, I felt
like I let them down. We were a big I
kind of took my foot off the gas. I wanted
to bounce back and show my team that we as
a team can bounce back and I can play better
after our backs against the wall and we made some mistakes.
I love that, Love what he's given. Jaylen Brunton is
a heck of a player, a dominating player. But I
(08:29):
am expecting him at some point to realize I gotta
get everyone involved to be the best version of our team.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
It's the hour couple Rob Parker Kevin Washington on a
worship Wednesday. That's right, and we joined now by asking
the cole mass Knicks super fan, CBS Sports two PHQ
host and shoot analysts asking the cole Moss on Twitter,
where she does not play around. If you follow her,
she's gonna let you know how she feels. What's up
as what's happening?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Well, that's up, guys, How are you good?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Good? Shoot?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I've been saying the last week or two, Darmnham got
all the smoke from keeping his hands in his pockets.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I know you saw that timms.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
He keeps his hands crossed on it keeps the same
little RBF face.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Was is he doing anything? Said, he's doing a bad job. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
So here's the thing with Chid's right. I think that
he is a good coach. Definitely not going to knock him.
And I think he was the right coach for the
Knicks at the time that he was hired. And I
think a lot of the good things you see about
the New York Knicks, you have to give him credit
for those things. And each and every season this team
got better under him, and obviously with what the front
office is doing. But I think that even though you
(09:49):
still have the locker room, even though you still have
the support of the guys in the locker room, doesn't
necessarily mean that you are the right coach for where
this team is and how they are currently constructed. And
that's kind of how I feel with Tibbs. I think
his coaching style has run its course with this Mix team,
and I honestly think that with the way that he
(10:10):
likes to coach, there's just no longevity there. When it
comes to how the NBA is currently constructed, you have
to be willing to go to your bench, you have
to be willing to make adjustments in the game real time.
One of the best to do is Eric Spolstra, and
I just think TIB's hardheadedness when it comes to that
(10:32):
aspect will never allow this Mix team to finally reach
that mountain top, which is ultimately a championship.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
All right, So a question about Game one, How depressed
were you after watching that meltdown? Historic meltdown and who
did you blame for that.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I was extremely depressed. I was extremely shell shocked, and
for me, that was a combination of both the players
and Tibbs. I think fat as you watch that game, unrivaled,
I don't think the adjustments there were made in terms
of trying to stop the bleeding. I don't think there
was enough emphasis on the defensive aspects. But look, you
(11:11):
also can't force the players to commit to four quarters
of defense. That's the responsibility of the guys on the floor,
and they didn't hold up there end of the bargain.
You can't put that on Tis. You can scream and
yell at your guys. If they're not going to commit,
then that's on them. So those defensive lapses are also
on the guys actually wearing the jersey. So for me,
(11:31):
I give that blame to both parties.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I know you're a Nick super fan, but if you
really had a choice between halla Burton of Brunson, who
are you taking as your point guard?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Because I know who I'm taking and he doesn't play your.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I'm still taking Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Why why did you watch yesterday?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Did you watch the game yesterday?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Listen?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Players, I watch every next game. Players have bad games.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm not bad games.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I'm talking to about the job in New York about
to come out sun. She Finish said, what are you
talking about, Rob? What are you talking about out?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm just asking you. Did you see the Picasso?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The masterpiece that was I did painted by Halliburton?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Absolutely and look, no turnovers. My hat has a loft
to him that is not easy to do in any game.
But it's specifically a playoff game with how the speed
is the physicality of that game specifically. But I can't
put a bad game on Brunson. A lot of what
the Knicks have accomplished this season, a lot of what
you have seen the Knicks do this postseason, has been
(12:35):
on the back of Jalen Brunson. He is the most consistent,
most reliable player in a New York Knicks jersey, and
I will take him ten times out of ten times.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Well, let me ask you this then, Ashley.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
By the way, Ashley Nicole Moss is our guest super
fan of the Knicks, also CBS Sports HQ host and analysts.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Let me go to the other guy.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Why in part in the non proper English, why folk
can't they play together?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Kat?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
And it seems like Himan Brunt say is like, all right,
well you go, all right, we go. There's not a
fluidity that historically point guards are a big like that
pick and roll, pick and pop, it kind of flows
a little bit better. What seems to be their challenge
of not having some type of rhythm together you know, it's.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
A good question, and I don't know if it's you know,
you're going again to PACER's team, who although look, their
season last year ended with the Boston Celtics sleeping, then
they have postseason experience together, and the regular season and
the postseason are two different things. Like I said, the
seed change, the physicality changes. As we have seen specifically
on the Eastern Conference, what you did in the regular
(13:37):
season does not mean anything once you get to the playoffs.
So I don't know if what Kat and Jalen Brunson
were able to do in the regular season, I don't
know if they're inexperienced together in the postseason and starting
to show itself some more because there were spurts during
the regular season that you said, oh, this is really
gonna work, and something has gone a Why something is
(14:00):
off between the two of them, specifically in the speed
of this matchup against the Pacers, and I don't know
if that's just because they haven't had that postseason experience together.
Only time will tell, But I don't think it's like
a cause to ring the alarm and blow up the team.
I don't think we're at that point.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
By the way, Rob I think if I zoomed in
enough on video, I think I saw Ashley was out
there being people that would trash you, the Pacer fan.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I think I think I could be wrong.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I was like, maybe met there.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Well, a lot of New Yorkers will have to, uh
deal with this because after Game one, I was pretty
sure that the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Weren't gonna win this series.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And I told Calvin that, uh and and they'll look
back at this even though, if you want to be truthful,
the Pacers beat the Knicks last year in seven games,
including winning Game seven at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no, no stretch.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
To get out injured, no no, no, no, no no.
The Knicks who were on the court, where are those
uniforms lost in Game seven?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I mean, you got you gotta play with who's there? Correct?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, but it injured Knicks teams different than We could
sit here all day and talk about injuries.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
People get injured all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Steph Curry won a championship with injured players on the Cavaliers.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
We could talk about that all day.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The bottom line is this will be two years in
a row that the Pacers will have extinguished the Knicks,
and they better get this fixed because it'll be another
uh fifty years if the Knicks try to win a championship.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
I'm just saying, listen, I'm not giving the Pacers last year.
Last year was a fluke. This year's legit. I will
I will say that I was wrong about the Pacers
going into this season.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Did you yet?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
What did you do? Did you pick a sweep up
for the Knicks or not?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I did not know. I actually had Nickson seven. So
we're still on course for the plan that we haven't
had to abandon the plan yet. We're still good. But
I'm gonna be honest. I did not have the Pacers
coming out of that CAB series. I thought the Calves
were going to win, and I thought, if anything, it
was going to possibly be Nick versus Cleveland or Boston
versus Cleveland. The Paces were not on my radar. I
(16:13):
think a lot of people felt the same way that
they were a good team, that they showed signs of
being a tough team to play against, definitely in a
playoff series. But ultimately I think most people were not
expecting the Calves to just self destruct the way that
they did in that series.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Well, I tell all right, So she's keeping hope alive.
The game seven is still the possibility. Jesse John, Yeah,
you keep hope alive. She's trying get you out here
on this. We let's go to the Western Conference. We've
got a game coming up tonight. And Edwards and Julius
Randall had bad games. Twenty shots field goal attempts total
between the two of them. But the Thunder team, we've
had conversations about how good great all time they are.
(16:51):
Where do you rank this team as far as what
they've done some historic numbers defensively historic number as far
as point differential and their wins. Are they that good
or that that great? Are we not giving them enough credit?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
I mean, who's not giving them credit? Are you not
giving them credit?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Listen? They can win the championship. And if you ask
me in ten years, I will forgo, oh yeah, KD.
Russ and J Yeah that I would think you're talking
about that Thunder team. They need more dynamic flare, some personality.
Ask for you know that?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Come on then the or Boys Listen. I will say this,
I think that we have to give credit where credit
to do. The Western Conference is extremely difficult to come
out on and we're talking about a team sixty plus wins,
and this is a young team. Their average age is,
what's twenty four years old. It's almost unheard of. And
it has been kind of this narrative in the NBA
(17:40):
for as long as I can remember that young teams
can't win championships, and this OKC team is squashing every
single one of those narratives. Outside of just the insane season,
the MVP SGA has had the fact that they've been
able to kind of bounce back from games that it
looked like they were abandoning. What got them this far
to be battle tested by what I think is still
(18:02):
a phenomenal basketball team and the Denver Nuggets and the
best basketball player in the world in Nicole Jokic. You
have to give credit they they went seven games with
those guys took down me very best. It's it's nothing
to just, you know, stick your nose in the air
about This team is legit, and if they win this championship,
I think it's going to put them in a conversation
(18:23):
as a league of their own, especially when you talk
about these young teams in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Ashley, I hope I'm gonna say this with all due
respect that you kept the tags on your pom pom
Nicks pom pomps and you can return them to the
store after the game.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, you heard that. Never, never, never, I can't even
do how you did it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Never, All right, I was giving you an option to
try to save you money and all that kind of stuff,
because I leave the ears about, I leave the tags on.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, just to make sure way Robbins won.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Right now, I got to get it for you, ro
I see it right, Give my tag along, all right, Ashley,
thank you so much, ashing the cole Moss give her

Speaker 6 (19:28):
That's right, it is the hot seat here on the
eye couple of Fox Sports Radio segment where we take

square circle against.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
The Dak Dude Champions of the World.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Right Rob Parker, kelvin Washington, Tonight's victim, I mean contestant.
You hear him on the weekends here on Fox Sports Radio.
You see him in the back putting the hears hard
bet on a none other than the man that meant
the legend himself, Patty Speaks aka Patrick Sweek.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
That's right, thank you for having me on, Bobby G.
Thank you everybody.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
By the way, so I Patty Speaks is the Twitter.
But right now it's about to be Patty about to
clap these cheeks right now with this let's go.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You know what, Patrick came in with a lot of energy,
but you forgot one thing.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
What's that? Where's the apple is supposed to go in
your mouth?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
As we Hey, where's the Rob g ded us back
on trackh.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So many drops from Rob Parker?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Now you were man, let me tell you something, brouh.
This ain't worship whining drop Wednesdays. Yeah, it is all right,
Pat We're gonna gorilla.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, you gotta relax. What in the pulp fiction is crazy?
Speaker 6 (20:44):
He's got three very hot takes getting defendom against the
act couple two on one.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Let's get started. Take number one. Here we go, all right,
so take number one.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Let me set it up. Pat, geez, I'm sorry back
in the back for seven years, you didn't know how
this works.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
There we go. Pat says that JJ McCarthy will be.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
The franchise quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings and he's gonna
be a Pro Bowler.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Now you got thirty seconds. That your case, all right?
So we have JJ McCarthy. He's the Michigan man from
Jim Harbaughs Michigan. I know he was the handoff guy,
but what he's looked like in just preseason and prior
to getting hurt and even ota today, he's slicing and dicing.
He's throwing the guys left and right. He's got that
(21:28):
winning smile, he's got the IQ to go with it.
The man is a student of the game. And what's
that He's only twenty two years old. He is the
next up and coming Minnesota Bikings guy.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Right now, I would take JJ from Good Times over
JJ McCarthy. Patrick for re only gonna be a Pro
Bowlers first year coming off an injury.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Stop it. I know you're hoping and wishing, but it
ain't happening.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He's gonna be on the side line, probably wearing khakis
like he should have been at Michigan.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Rob, come on, he's got the look. He's like six
foot three, six foot four. He does have an arm.
Everybody says he doesn't have an arm because he just
hands it off. He can throw it deep. He's got
some legs to him even with that injury. He's got
the greatest wide receiver in the NFL with justin the
(22:28):
Jets Jefferson, and he's gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Patty, pat you're my man that I gotta cook you
and flay you real quick if you tell me about
his legs, his looks, and his smile one more time.
What is this the Bachelor? Don't nobody want to hear
all about that? I watched him every snap at Michigan.
You know him from ann Arbreichelman Armor and every person
I know, including Martin Wis who went to Missicanna Bear,
we are all shocked he went that high. Like him,
good guy played the game and they won, But in
(22:53):
no way he was supposed to get taken that high.
And you guys are about to see why everybody was shocked, y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Draft Patrick, it's good to see you, hello, Alexander.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Let me ask you one thing, Patrick, Yes, sir, what
do you think about me?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Alex You know.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
I think nothing about the world about you. Anytime I'm
working with you, whether it's in this room or right
next to you, you know, you've always been my day one.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
And he knows how to get a point. Patrick. It's
the first round, is what it's come to. Man, all right,
here we go, take number two, the hot seat. Alex
is gonna be so mad when I cut his hair
one day. Patrick sweek, No, that's it. We're gonna I'm
gonna distract him and then snip snip, and then he'll be, uh,
you know, without his super power producer to the stars.
(23:37):
Here on the eye couple. Here we go, take number two.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Pat says that Jalen Milroe, who rob has never missed
the Jaylen Milro game miss, will be a.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Star for the Seahawks and be the next star threat
quarter black. By the way, he's black in the NFL.
Go for black quarterback.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Jalen Milroe, Alabama roll Tide man himself. He came off
having a kind of a bad year this past year.
But you know what, he's got an arm, he's got
legs with him. He's gonna be like the next Jaden Daniels,
if not the next Lamar Jackson. He's gotta work on
some stuff very raw, but you know what, in the
right system and right situation, he's gonna be the next
(24:21):
bona fide superstar.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So, Patrick, it's obvious that you're a Seattle fan and
you've watched a lot of bad football and quarterbacks over
the years, because anybody who puts on a team uniform
you think it's gonna be great. Come on, Patrick, what
are you talking about? Oh, let me see, he's coming
off a bad year, but I think he's gonna be dynamite.
And Patrick, I'm not saying you're stereotypical, you know football fan.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Well, he's a guy, he's black, and he's got a bead,
so we must be good league, so he must be that.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
What you're saying, Rob, what does that happen to do
with anything, Alex, I'm.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Looking at more of him. It's just the player himself.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
But Rob, come on, I mean prior to his last year,
he actually played pretty good the year before that, and
you know what, it's different in college to pros. These
are NFL pro coaches. Now they're gonna coach him up.
And he's got pure talent Jackson Smith and Jigba. He's
now got Cooper Cup. He's got an offense around him.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
You know you sound like right now, perhaps you sound
like a girl who keeps going back to a project.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Man.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Girl, I know he's not doing this. I know he's
not doing that, but I promise I can change it.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Every time I saw him, he was always underperforming. It's
a big game, it's a big moment, and he came
up short. I saw with my own eyes in a
rose ball against Michigan. He never delivered when he was
supposed to. And just because he looks the part, he's
ripped up and he's fast, doesn't mean it's gonna translate.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He ain't even as good as Justice Fields.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
I have to say, I'm utterly shocked and also captivated
that the great Rob Parker was able to make us
aware that Patrick is. Indeed, I just said it, there
you go, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I don't want how to say it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I mean, and you know what, I knew it too,
because Patrick always brought in the white chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
All Right, we go last take of the night, the
hottest taken the night We stayed that that's gotta be racist.
Fox Boards Radio Weekend Producer Editor Associate Producer Extraordinaire Patrick
sweek In on the hot seat with the High Couple.
Here we go Patrick's mom in case you guys know,
pulling back the curtain has brought in some tremendous baked
goods to the studio. In fact, Pat says that his
(26:40):
mom baked goods and cookies, no doubt about it, are
the best sweets alive in the US of A, in
the world, America, in the galaxy. Pat, you got thirty seconds,
stay your case.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Kelvin, Rob and everybody else here in this building, y'all
know exactly my mama's cookies are and what they taste like.
In fact, not just them, all the baked goods that
she's made. You're telling me that you've had better, cause
I know anytime I bring him in, everybody everybody goes,
oh my god, I see the dances I've seen Alex
(27:15):
go damn and even he is missed like healthy, and
even he's like, I gotta have some. Kelvin you even
made you made a term for my mother's cookies. And
I know you know exactly that I have a dream cookies.
I know to bate me on that. There ain't no
way anyone tops my mom's.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
First of all, I want you to know the delay
great Mary Parker. When I was growing up, her nickname
was Betty Crocker. My mom was the best baker. She
baked everybody's birthday cake. What mom bakes everybody's birthday cake
in the neighborhood. That's how good her stuff was. And
you've heard of missus Field's cookies, Patrick, your mom's cookies.
(27:56):
If we had to give it a name, missus outa
left Field cookies.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Now, Rob, Rob, I got two words for you. Stop it.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
Every time for the last year or so she comes
out the cookies. You haven't even had the recent editions
because I'm on the dart to win for cheese cooking October.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So it's not reason for you.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
You gotta wait, all right, Listen, I hate to do
this because you know how I feel about mama sweeking
the cookies. But mama Sweek of cookies ain't my wife's cookies.
And I'm actually talking about the cookies too. Okay, they're
talking about the actual ones that are going in the oven,
all right. They are the ones that we always wait
for every Christmas weekend. I gotta bring you out something.
We get the whole ten full of them. She makes
(28:43):
them all the time. As matter of fact, my kids
gained eleven pounds because of them. The delicious baby. I'm
coming home, And a matter of fact, I want some
cookies and cookies too, if you know what I'm saying.
With that being said, Mama Sweeker, go ahead and give
me some cookies. I really wouldn't mind.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Some of those.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Gun Did you just reference some else while you were
referencing cookies?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
No, say cookies. She uses flour, brown sugar. Yeah, it's good. Okay,
put them in the oven, three fifty. Put them in
the oven.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
Also, I would like to jump on the train and
say this, Patrick, you're a new bee here compared to
myself almost at the tenure, and my mom has been
making cookies every December for everybody here on a couple wins,
easy choice.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
How we do.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Nice job, Patrick, Mama Sweeker, I know, I love I
know your mom is listening.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
It's all good. Color. I haven't dreamed it one day.
Tell them that they closed her cookie store at the
mall too. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
She be unit and she had a chocolate the white
chocolate brownch I don't even know it was a brown chocolate.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
See me United United Nations cookie. And Patrick gets okay,
you're still racist? Why why? Patrick? You did good?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And if only we all had a Patrick in our
life to believe in us no matter what, like JJ
and Jalen have you in their corner.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Get you a guy that looks at you like I
do with JJ McCarthy and any quarterback with a jay
apparently you love him.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Martin.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Am I lying that that that JJ McCarthy was okay.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
We were like, yeah, he's our quarterback. Good, but tenth
pick can't confirm. Thank you, and I'll all the whole
summer leading up to it, as Harbaugh was saying I
take him, I was like, well, trade Justin Herbert and
you draft him.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
To everybody from Michigan or went to Michigan, we are like, uh.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Remember the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I was there the first play.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Dude, he was, yeah, So I mean it's sincerely I've
said it to Rob when we talked Sam Donald j McCarthy.
I have been blown away at I'm like, did I
miss something? For a couple of years I thought the
same thing. I used to get mad when they threw
the ball. That is not the sign of a first
round quarterback to me. And in the first round to
jump up the tenth to get him, that was crazy.
But either way great, John Patrick, appreciate it. Mama, sweet,
(30:46):
you know what I need.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I need. I need what I need. You know I
need it. I know she's listening you. Maybe she'd be
cooking on Instagram too. She'd be going, I had a
glisy in my mouth. My all right, what is that
sauce on your back? You told you tenderizing that? Man,
this is out of line today
