Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
There was a bunch of sound that came out from
the loss with ant man Anthony Edwards and now second
year in a row losing in five in the Western
Conference Finals.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Here's what he had to say. A couple of his thoughts.
Hes exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
I don't know why people would think he would hurt.
I mean, it's exciting for me. I'm twenty three. I
get to do it a whole bunch of times. I'm
hurt more so for myself, for Mike. I came up short.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
For Mike.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Like I said, we tried last year, we couldn't get it.
We try again this year. I'm gonna try again next year.
But hurting is a terrible word to use.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Nobody's gonna work harder than me this summer. I tell
you that much, So yeah, I'll try. I'll try to
make it happen again for Michael.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Well, that's assuming Mike Conley will be there.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I mean he in basketball terms, Mike Conley is sixty six.
And also they may want to make some moves at
some point. But I will say this, I actually do
believe and his work ethic and going back in the
lab and finding a new thing, finding the next gear.
I don't necessarily question that he sees from He's proven
to be a hard worker. We all love the fact
(01:29):
that he wants to play all Lady two games. He's
been very vocal about that. He's vocal about challenges, So
I don't question that part from ant Man. I don't
question that he feels hurt. Isn't the word I think
for him, it's motivational. All Right, we're gonna come back
and we on your head, and he believes he'll be
back multiple times. The issue where I'm concerned is is
ant Man gonna be the new version of Kevin Garnett.
(01:54):
Is at Man gonna be the ticket Where we never
questioned his loyalty, we never questioned how hard he was,
We never questioned his desire to win, never question him
on both ends of the ball. Kevin Garnett was a star,
wars on both ends all right, offensively, defensively, A team
guy probably to fault. He was so team friendly, and
yet he was never able to get it to done.
(02:16):
And I'll never forget John Thompson was interviewing him and
he was like, well, what's going on? I see something
to look in your face and he just starts crying.
He's like, I'm losing. I'm losing. And I'll never forget that.
Kevin Garnett wanted to win so bad he just start crying,
I'm losing. And I just think the Minnesota Timberwolves, I
don't think they have exactly what it will take to
get to that next level. And my concern is are
(02:38):
we looking at a guy that we all love. We
love his game, we love his competitiveness, we love his edge,
we love that he just plays on both sides of
the ball. But will this team, this franchise get him
to the next level. And I don't think they will.
And I think ant Man will win a championship. But
it might be with the Knicks, it might be with
you a Laker in seven eight years, be with the Warriors.
(03:01):
It might be with some of these the Spurs, but
I don't think ant Man. It could be with the
Miami Heat, but I don't think ant Man is going
to win in Minnesota. And I think he's gonna have
a Kevin Garnett like where we all like Man. He's
playing hard, we want them to win. We'd like him,
but he might have to go elsewhere to do it.
This franchise hasn't proven to do nothing over the years.
They've had some good teams over the last twenty plus years.
(03:22):
They got rid of some of the guys who think
they wouldn't get rid of. They got rid of kar
Anthony Towns. They brought in Julius Randall that doesn't really work.
They didn't stick with Towns and continue to ride him
in at Edwards and see what they can do. After
going the Western Conference finals, they get rid of Jimmy Butler,
who you know has been proven to be good in
the postseason. And again looking at the way they I
hate to say it wasted Kevin Garnett and some of
(03:44):
it is the fact that they're in the Western Conference
with a bunch of other talented teams. Does okay, Steve
continue to just stand in their way for the next
five year. Do the Nuggets make a move and get
in their way for the next few handful of years.
Do the Warriors bounce back and make a move. Do
the Lakers do something now they got Luca Lebron and
something else. So I just concerned that he will want
to do it. He'll be loyal to the Timberwolves, but
(04:06):
ultimately he'll have to go win somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Totally disagree. I think that the comparison is not legit.
And here's why. One guy is twenty three years old
and he's been to the Western Conference Finals twice, two
years in a row.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
And guy got you. He didn't make it out of it.
He didn't get to the title.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Okay, Ay, Kevin Gartnett was twenty eight who started his
career when he was twenty right, So here are about
like eight or nine years.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
This guy's been there twice already.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Number two, they have new ownership that just took over
like three months ago, two months ago, with A Rod
and his group. This ain't the old Minnesota Timberwolves ownership.
That guy might not have been interested in winning A
Rod and his group. I don't believe here in that,
and when I think about Kevin Garnett and where they were,
(05:01):
I just think it's a different time and era, and
I agree with you. It's a tough Western Conference and
the idea that this guy has gotten there already and
they need to make one other move or some other
situation the same way. And we keep seeing different teams
go every year. It's not inconceivable the way Denver went
(05:23):
to a championship and now we're seeing OKAC. I just
don't think it's that far away, or you're making it like,
oh my god, well that's two years of the row.
They didn't get there, so it's all over and it's
exact opposite to me. I'm looking at it saying that
there's a great chance if you make the right tweaks.
And then I heard what he said, and that's the
(05:45):
greatest thing you could hear. No one's gonna work harder
than me and the AFS. That's all you can ask
for the kid. He's twenty three, not twenty eight. Kevin Durant,
Kevin Darnett. Garnett, he left because he had play. He
did for like what was it, rob g nine or
ten years. Then he stole when he was in high school.
He played there ten years and they finally got there. Right,
(06:09):
this guy's had immediate success at twenty two, twenty three,
he's been to the Western Conference finals. He has to
feel like I'm knocking on the door. All we need
to do is make another move of another situation. So
I don't think that he's Kevin Gartnet at all. I
think that he is going to with new ownership and
(06:30):
with his desire that he's that close and looking at
the NBA. It's not your father's NBA where you got teams.
This is Lebron every year and Steph Curry and them.
I'm not looking at the Warriors long term. I'm not
looking at the Lakers long term. I'm looking at the
younger players that were starting to see and no situations.
(06:50):
So I think that he has a chance. And there's
no reason for Minnesota to panic and go like, oh,
we can't get it done here.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Oh my god. They just took over the team two
months ago.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I'm meaning full there were minority owners, but I mean
now that they're the owners, I guarantee you, guarantee you
that a Rod is not in this to just be
in it, that he wants to win a championship and
to be that close two years in a row, and
I ain't close. I mean obviously four games to one,
but I mean in it, you got to be in
(07:21):
the Western Conference finals to have a chance, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
So uh, I'm expecting that to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
My issue though, is you I go back to great
example Karl Anthony Towns. They had a chance in the
Western Conference Finals and they tried to dump taxes right there.
They don't want to pay it, and that is a
real thing in all sports.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But do you also think that maybe they didn't think
that he was the guy that they want to soak
the money into. And a lot of people, even Nick fans,
are like, is he really that guy? And you say
that he's better than Julius random Well, but they're also
going to be knocked out. So he went to New
York on the team. So I'm just saying yes on paper,
But does that mean you're gonna win or win with
(08:03):
Anthony we call Anthony Townsend. My big thing is the
type of money that he's gonna be paid compared to
Julius Randol. That might not be the money I want
to give to anybody, And.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm going back to a couple of things I just
took over. Yeah, the team, I'm not saying they this
is there, this is their run. But I'm talking about
just looking at the history of that franchise. And again,
I don't question ant Man's desire, just like I did
with Kevin Garnett, just like I did in his work ethic.
It's and he's playing on both ends of the ball.
Who can they get? Can they get free agents to
come to Minnesota, and I don't know, they don't often
(08:32):
get big time free agents.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Can they get the right guys?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And again last point, again, the Western Conference is crazy
right now. You got a bunch of young Houston's coming,
Denver's gonna still be there. Okay, see might have it
a lot for four or five years.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So yeah, But the difference is you're saying Kevin Garnett
waited ten years.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
He was twenty. I can't go to the future. I
can't tell you, I can't speak.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Nobody was twenty eight years old just to get to
the Western Conference.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
He had never been. That's totally different.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's a guy who's who's a has loyalty team, who
doesn't want to run away from a situation. Anybody could
have said, why would you stay there ten years? You
should have left after five or six years. And man
is a young player, twenty three, he's been there twice.
It's not to say it's apples and oranges.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
It's not the player, it's the organization. That's what I'm
trying to say about where he is, and what I'm
saying is too, this could be a Dann Marino where
you don't want to also just I'm gonna be here
several times. I know he hopes that and believes it,
but you gotta take advantage when you get there.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And he went one time it was even too.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But this is not even the final. Rob Davenrino went
to the Super Bowl. You cannot like it's the finals. No,
but you're talking about being at the final. You just
compared him to Kevin Garnett, who had to wait till
he was twenty eight years old. He came out of
high school, he played ten years, eighteen to twenty eight
just to get.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
To the Western Conference finals. Is not the same as
a guy who was twenty two and twenty three who
already made it there.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I'm saying, if I'm looking at it, I'm not saying,
oh my god, it's gonna take me ten years.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
No, we're close. You hope you're close.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And I like it, and I love what he's about,
and he better, he and the team better. Not resting
the laurels and just think, oh, it's automatic, because it's not.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Who said it was that. He just said he's gonna
work as hard as he can. He just say it's automatically.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
We're talking.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I just said he and the team, Rob the team.
I keep saying it. It is not my concern.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

Speaker 4 (10:35):
But tonight is a milestone. Can we start there? It is?
It really is.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And tonight is the last broadcast of Inside the NBA
on TNT, And we thought it was gonna be the end.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You know, TNT lost the TV contract.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I told Chris Rob g am My Lion. I told
Chris this from a long time ago, that they were
gonna lose the NBA.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And I remember remember their CEO said.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
TNT could survive without the NBA on the record when
he said that. I was like, there's no way they're
coming back, because that was like to put that out there. Yeah,
it was like, oh, TNT can survive without the NBA.
That that was what the quote was. And I read that,
I was like, no way, the NBA is gonna look
at that and be like, oh, yeah, it will come
(11:28):
back to you. It's just not because there's other shooters
and whatnot and people looking for content and the only
thing that people watch today live sporting events and national news.
Nothing else, you know this, nothing else watch TV shows
when they want. They don't watch the local news like
they used to watch it. I could go on and
on and on. The numbers just bear it out. But anyway,
(11:53):
so next season, the NBA is moving inside. The NBA's
move moving to ESPN. Supposedly the same people were in
it or whatever, we're gonna do it, and they're just
kind of like selling the the property right of it,
but all the same cast members. They're all gonna be
(12:13):
back and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
But it's in the but it's.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Gonna be air on ESPN. And I know a lot
of people rejoiced and were happy.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
It was a mistake inside the NBA.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Coming back on ESPN next year is a mistake, a
colossal mistake. It ain't gonna work, It ain't gonna feel
the same, it ain't gonna be the same. TNT was
a unique situation. They didn't have all that other sports
properties and and Charles ripping on this and that, and
(12:51):
there were no other shows or personalities that they had
to worry about. As Pat McAfee, who was on YouTube,
I'm doing his day all I come over to ESPN.
He's on the air calling out bosses by name. He's
a rat, this and that. Oh no, Pat mavy's his
own entity.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
He doesn't. Really. Nobody's their own entity when they were
on a network. Nobody, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Somebody upstairs is gonna be like I don't want to
hear that or want that stop that. Yes, they'll tell
you have your autonomy, right, It don't work like.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
That inside the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Going to ESPN's like American Idol leaving Fox and going
to ABC. Have you watched since it don't feel the same,
Tell me it wasn't hot and hot happening when it
was on Fox. And they just figured like, oh, we'll
just move it to another network and then people are No.
(13:54):
I don't believe it's gonna feel the same, be the same.
And it's unfortunate because it's a great so they could
have gone out with a blaze of glory as the
all time great studio show.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Ever, what a great run almost thirty years, you know,
right for.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Real, it's okay to have a closing curtain. You don't
have to have to work all the way through and
just keep doing all these things and moving on and
to just hang on.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Sometimes it's great to go out on top. It is
John l Way super Bowl, super couldn't win. He won
one super Bowl, won two super Bowl. Thank you. I'm out.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Everybody wanted him to come back. I thank you. I
had a great career. I won two Super Bowls. You know,
if people remember them as a champ and a winner,
and it would have been great tonight for them to
put a bowl on it and say we want TNT.
We did something very special here and it ain't gonna
(15:00):
just transfer over somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I think they made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Well, so much of what you said, I can't even
disagree with it, and I can't argue.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The only thing I'll say, the caveat that I have
on why I actually still would reserve hope that the
show will still be good, that will still get ninety
five ninety percent of the product.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
A couple of reasons.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
One, they're still going to be having the TNT crew,
and I don't mean the four guys we see every
Thursday or every night and the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
That is already a good thing.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
You still got Kenny, Chuck, Chack check and earning having
the other people was vital for me.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
When I first heard are they're gonna get the guys?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I was like, because what makes that show special isn't
just the four guys.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
It is what you were saying.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It is the fact that that producers, they always shout
out TK TK who runs it. He allows for everybody
to do stuff. He allows for this person to do
the Hey you draw this on on Chuck's head. You
do that, and you don't typically get this. You've been
in TV rooms. You get people who get absolutely stuck
in the ego it has to be my way, don't
do this. And if you watch the documentary on this show,
(16:10):
you understand how they allow everybody. Yeah, they empower everybody. Hey,
do what you want, do what your best at give
it a shot. If it was whack, we won't do
it tomorrow, but go for it. They empower the illustrator
to draw stuff. They empower the kid who says, I
got a good idea and we play this song. Having
that crew gives me hope that they're gonna just be
able to just switch the network and keep it rolling
(16:34):
because of that crew, not just the four guys.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah, but it's that. But my issue isn't with that.
It's about the management.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Like you could act like they're not gonna have ESPN
is just gonna let them put the show on.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Here's where here, and here's where I'm gonna here's where.
I get your sentiment and I put a period next
to it. But again, a couple of things have happened
over the years. You mentioned the name, and I will
say I think he changed things a bit. I think
Pat McAfee coming on cursing, and I remember that being
at first when he first started, you know, cursing on
(17:08):
the show. You could tell ESBN didn't know what to do, like, okay, wait,
is that a lot?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Are we?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
And then they kind of just let it roll and
they make sure to put the disclaimer, Hey, this show
may have foul language.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
And I think he's created along with Club Shay Shay
and all the stuff he he's saying and doing on
all them shows and nightcaps while still getting to come
on the ESPN Disney there away it's Mondays and Tuesdays.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
No, But he's not saying that on Disney, right.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But what I'm saying is he is, but hear me,
hear me out though he's not saying that.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But all I'm saying is is created an atmosphere where
more things go than they typically used to.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You never used to be able to have.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Hey, by the way, on the other rest of the week,
I'm gonna do the show and I'm gonna say some
wold crazy stuff you knew know that you would never
allowed to do that.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
This show that got millions of views.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
It's not like a random one off podcast only one
hundred people listen to. So I do think the climate
of things have changed where people are more accepting and
they don't really do or say the wildest things. Chuck
Go say something, Chuck Gon disrespect the women in San Antonio.
But even doing that for twenty some years, so I
think we're all used to that. You know, he might
let an S word slip out every now and again,
(18:19):
but again based off what Pat McAfee's over there and
allowed to do, I just think the game has changed
a little bit. I would totally be with you ten
years ago, five years ago. Here's where I disagree.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
And Charles has said all the idiots over there on
ESPN on those shows like he has calling them out,
those are the things that ESPN.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
This is what. Don't I know that when I make
that signing, No, no, no, do not know what I'm business.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
But it's different now once you're on the air, and
now I have a guy bashing my other shows. Okay,
like seriously, like that sounds cool. Charles was doing it.
He always uh TNT was was separate. They didn't have
any other shows. They don't have anybody else to answer to.
It was twenty year old movies or inside the NBA
(19:03):
and basketball. That's all they had TNT. He wasn't on
there saying don't watch the morning show on TNT because those.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Guys are idiots. I'm serious. I can't believe that ESPN
will sit there and be cool with that.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Put him I think it's a different Disney is a
different climate. I think they're gonna be okay with that.
I think they're okay with getting roasted. I think they're
okay with watch she said, let me.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Tell you, let me tell you something, get up. I
go back to sleep. When get Up comes up, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
And then they come on that Monday or that Tuesday
the next day and they roast him. I think they're
gonna be like, let the show beats begin, let it,
let it happen. Let stephen a and and Kenny Smith
go at it and Chuck go at it in a
in a you know, friendlier way. I think they're gonna
welcome it. I think they're gonna absolutely embrace that. That
that him calling shows out, shows calling him back out.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I think they're gonna I don't think that's what you
want unless they want. I think they're gonna embrace it.
I worked there for eight years, and I just I
do not think that it's different some shows bashing other shows.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
No, they don't because they don't do it on the air.
They don't.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
The ESPN doesn't do they don't do the only thing
I'm saying is if I signed, if I signed an
artist or rock star who always gets in trouble with
Lee DUIs having drugs.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
And I signed him to the label. I know what
he comes with.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, but he was there, He was over there before
and they do have their own standards. Pat McAfee is
not the same exact show it used to be. I
mean once in a while to slip up, but he
it was way more cursing.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay, so what I'm saying, So did he change Pat
McAfee changed.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
No, did Pat McAfee.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
But I'm saying he would never work on ESBN five
to ten years ago.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I really need give he tempered it down?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Okay, what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. You're asking Chuck.
You're gonna ask him to temper it down? Can you
take it down a little bit? Out of first take?
Is our Mark Keys show in the morning. We just
don't want that. But can you can you avoid that?
Can you avoid telling people not to watch people?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Idiots?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Think you know what you're getting with Chuck and you
absolutely signed up for it, and I think you embrace it.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
This is what we get with Chuck. Shack can just
don't think it's.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Gonna be in that show show that that is to
remain to be seen.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I don't don't you know what I mean. We'll have
to wait and see what that.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
But me having me still holding reserve and hope is
because of the crew, not just the four guys. If
they said these four talents are going with the ESPN crew,
I would throw the talent because ESPN has not been
able to have a good basketball show.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, but it's about It's about the talent out there,
those four guys, if they still have their and.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
It's the stuff they do, like right right now. But
you're acting like there are no talented people at ESPN.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I'm not saying that, but not not only they don't
have the same green light that TNT allows. Just like
on this show, we have people feeling for Alex, but
Alex gets the show, he knows the show.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
He does.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He doesn't say when you were going for six weeks
two people, I'm just trying to get to rob G.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I would have said both all rob G not being here,
you feel it.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And I'm saying is if it was just the talent,
the stars of the show, I would really be like
Robby right there, it.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Was like we're producing the show every day. Does Rob
G really need to come back?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I mean it's true, Rob G know I was stalking
him on his days off. No gen who didn't call
you or text you?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Rob? I called him live on the air.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Remember that, because I was trying to I was trying
to give him respect. He was trying to nurture. You
said you said you don't need him no more.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
That's what he was like, Man, Rob G, rob e
rob schneed.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
We don't need him. I said, Rob G is busy,
he's probably breastfeeding.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Do you want me to tell you what Scott told me?
You said Scott said you hit him, was like, Yo,
we don't even need producer. They would just pay me
what you pay producers.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
He did.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You reached out to know that's what he told me.
He was like, hey, man, I don't know. Rob just said.
He was like, Yo, give me the producer's salaries.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Rob G, don't
buy that.

Ain't nobody's not being a bomb shop.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You know that ain't nobody you were talking about whoever, whatever,
whatever you want to in the box, So why you not?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
It's shop talking, that's right. Is shop talk?
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Here in the odd couple of Fox Sports radis sing
where we talk about something happened outside of the world
of sports.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
This week's topic is a doozy okay.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
It comes to us from down Under and if you
have a queasy stomach, maybe turn your radio down. So
you're going, well, I'm not going to say exactly what happened,
but here we got stomach hurts. There was a story
that went viral over the weekend, Heard the World, went
viral over the weekend in Australia, and then it kept
going viral as it made his way stateside earlier in
the week.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I don't know if you know, rob Ge, I've been
down on you. There was a woman who sat on
social media.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
She spent the better part of seven years suffering from
constant sinus infections. Doctors could not figure out what was
wrong with her until they do a swab, and they
found out the culprit. Her ex boyfriend at the time,
during a hotel stay, pulled the practical joke on her
that led to her getting e coli in her nose
(24:14):
that was there for seven years, totally derailed her life.
I'll tell you off the air what exactly did to
get e coli.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
And you're not gonna like it, Thank you, Alex. Here's
a question.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
If someone you know, love and care about does a
practical joke that has that kind of a lasting impression,
how soon, if ever, do you forgive them?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Dub Well, I mean there are certain people you have
to forgive, meaning like if it's my sister, you know,
my children, like they're one or two friends, you kind
of like have to because I think the intent nobody
intended for you to be seven years but a random
that you're kind of cool with, like a coworker or something.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now we might have smoked forever. Im.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I might forgive you because that's good for me, cleansing
the poison in my heart, but I might not have
to rock with you anymore. I can't hate somebody forever
because that's bad, that that messes you up.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Rob you you know how I roll? Don't you you're
dead to me? It would be dead to me, but
you wouldn't know you were dead to me, but you
would be dead to me, So.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
I would think people like that. I know some people
like that one. You know what I'm saying. The only
problem with that is you're dead to me? Now? Am
I dead to him? Like you don't know who's dead?
And like I don't know. No, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
But I'm just saying, once once you like do something
crazy to me or you know, like.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I'm good, I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I don't need it, don't need to happen twice or
for you to think you you're you know? So what
about forgiveness? I'm not into that. I'm not into that.
That's why I'm not married. I'm just being honest.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Like the man just look at my eyes and told me,
I'm not into that. Like I said, it's true though, Hey,
what do you mean it's true? Alex?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
No, hold on, I'll give you a statistic that blew
my mind. You ready for this?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Do you know that somebody who cheats on you is
now four times more likely to cheat on you again?
Of course, so what does forgiveness do? Then you went
to an extreme example.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I'm just tell me.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
What I'm saying is there could be plenty of things
forgive me. I'm just saying I talked to you crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Uh no, because I hold from you ten years ago
because to me seriously, and I'm not I don't want
to take over the segment, but I'm being honest, like, uh,
I shouldn't have to convince you that I'm like good
and in your corner or whatever. And if you were
to disrespect me and talk to me a certain way,
(26:37):
that's just you've already you've already breached that and can't
come back to me to ball or later that night
and go like, oh, well, you know, I don't know
why you would.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
No, no, no, what you said was what you meant,
because okay, I hear you now. I'm gonna go to
the other side of this.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I'm just saying that when you either of you two
have wronged or spoken to or did any thing wrong,
I'm not gonna stout.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Shout, not want to forgivenness.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I'm the no because I'm not gonna say anything to
dig at your core to try to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
You know what I see, But that now that assumes
one didn't. You've full of assumed that what I did
or said didn't hurt your feelings.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
So I believe forgiveness is for yourself.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Why had you heard me say that that letting the
go of the poison. Yeah, I do it.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
I agree with that, But I'm also letting go of
you two. I'm not gonna sit around here and just
keep messing with the same stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'm gonna let you all slide today. No like real
do Kaito?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
What's the definition of insanity? We're gonna change? No, Rob,
you know better than anybody in this industry. Do people change?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
No?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Whatever they got, whatever you see, that's what that's what
they are. All right, rob Gie, where are you you?
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I had something similar happened a couple of years ago. Rob,
you knowed this almost lost my eyesight for like six weeks. Uh,
you know, plenty of visits of the doctor. But at
that point it was an accident and it was my
three year old daughter who did it to me. In
this case, where it's a grown man who decides to
use something on purpose that leads to this kind of stuff,
(28:09):
no thought.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
What are you doing? This is wild? That's why I said,
this is what are you even thinking about?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
First of all, the fact of what he really did,
felt that comfortable to do that to her.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I don't want to know the other show he laid
up in THET in a bed with ankle surgery.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Shit.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I don't want to know what else he was doing.
I don't want to be You can't be that comfortable
with me. Never be sorry.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
There was a bunch of sound that came out from
the loss with ant man Anthony Edwards and now second
year in a row losing in five in the Western
Conference Finals.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Here's what he had to say. A couple of his thoughts.
Hes exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
I don't know why people would think he would hurt.
I mean, it's exciting for me. I'm twenty three. I
get to do it a whole bunch of times. I'm
hurt more so for myself, for Mike. I came up short.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
For Mike.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Like I said, we tried last year, we couldn't get it.
We try again this year. I'm gonna try again next year.
But hurting is a terrible word to use.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Nobody's gonna work harder than me this summer. I tell
you that much, So yeah, I'll try. I'll try to
make it happen again for Michael.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Well, that's assuming Mike Conley will be there.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I mean he in basketball terms, Mike Conley is sixty six.
And also they may want to make some moves at
some point. But I will say this, I actually do
believe and his work ethic and going back in the
lab and finding a new thing, finding the next gear.
I don't necessarily question that he sees from He's proven
to be a hard worker. We all love the fact
(01:29):
that he wants to play all Lady two games. He's
been very vocal about that. He's vocal about challenges, So
I don't question that part from ant Man. I don't
question that he feels hurt. Isn't the word I think
for him, it's motivational. All Right, we're gonna come back
and we on your head, and he believes he'll be
back multiple times. The issue where I'm concerned is is
ant Man gonna be the new version of Kevin Garnett.
(01:54):
Is at Man gonna be the ticket Where we never
questioned his loyalty, we never questioned how hard he was,
We never questioned his desire to win, never question him
on both ends of the ball. Kevin Garnett was a star,
wars on both ends all right, offensively, defensively, A team
guy probably to fault. He was so team friendly, and
yet he was never able to get it to done.
(02:16):
And I'll never forget John Thompson was interviewing him and
he was like, well, what's going on? I see something
to look in your face and he just starts crying.
He's like, I'm losing. I'm losing. And I'll never forget that.
Kevin Garnett wanted to win so bad he just start crying,
I'm losing. And I just think the Minnesota Timberwolves, I
don't think they have exactly what it will take to
get to that next level. And my concern is are
(02:38):
we looking at a guy that we all love. We
love his game, we love his competitiveness, we love his edge,
we love that he just plays on both sides of
the ball. But will this team, this franchise get him
to the next level. And I don't think they will.
And I think ant Man will win a championship. But
it might be with the Knicks, it might be with
you a Laker in seven eight years, be with the Warriors.
(03:01):
It might be with some of these the Spurs, but
I don't think ant Man. It could be with the
Miami Heat, but I don't think ant Man is going
to win in Minnesota. And I think he's gonna have
a Kevin Garnett like where we all like Man. He's
playing hard, we want them to win. We'd like him,
but he might have to go elsewhere to do it.
This franchise hasn't proven to do nothing over the years.
They've had some good teams over the last twenty plus years.
(03:22):
They got rid of some of the guys who think
they wouldn't get rid of. They got rid of kar
Anthony Towns. They brought in Julius Randall that doesn't really work.
They didn't stick with Towns and continue to ride him
in at Edwards and see what they can do. After
going the Western Conference finals, they get rid of Jimmy Butler,
who you know has been proven to be good in
the postseason. And again looking at the way they I
hate to say it wasted Kevin Garnett and some of
(03:44):
it is the fact that they're in the Western Conference
with a bunch of other talented teams. Does okay, Steve
continue to just stand in their way for the next
five year. Do the Nuggets make a move and get
in their way for the next few handful of years.
Do the Warriors bounce back and make a move. Do
the Lakers do something now they got Luca Lebron and
something else. So I just concerned that he will want
to do it. He'll be loyal to the Timberwolves, but
(04:06):
ultimately he'll have to go win somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Totally disagree. I think that the comparison is not legit.
And here's why. One guy is twenty three years old
and he's been to the Western Conference Finals twice, two
years in a row.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
And guy got you. He didn't make it out of it.
He didn't get to the title.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Okay, Ay, Kevin Gartnett was twenty eight who started his
career when he was twenty right, So here are about
like eight or nine years.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
This guy's been there twice already.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Number two, they have new ownership that just took over
like three months ago, two months ago, with A Rod
and his group. This ain't the old Minnesota Timberwolves ownership.
That guy might not have been interested in winning A
Rod and his group. I don't believe here in that,
and when I think about Kevin Garnett and where they were,
(05:01):
I just think it's a different time and era, and
I agree with you. It's a tough Western Conference and
the idea that this guy has gotten there already and
they need to make one other move or some other
situation the same way. And we keep seeing different teams
go every year. It's not inconceivable the way Denver went
(05:23):
to a championship and now we're seeing OKAC. I just
don't think it's that far away, or you're making it like,
oh my god, well that's two years of the row.
They didn't get there, so it's all over and it's
exact opposite to me. I'm looking at it saying that
there's a great chance if you make the right tweaks.
And then I heard what he said, and that's the
(05:45):
greatest thing you could hear. No one's gonna work harder
than me and the AFS. That's all you can ask
for the kid. He's twenty three, not twenty eight. Kevin Durant,
Kevin Darnett. Garnett, he left because he had play. He
did for like what was it, rob g nine or
ten years. Then he stole when he was in high school.
He played there ten years and they finally got there. Right,
(06:09):
this guy's had immediate success at twenty two, twenty three,
he's been to the Western Conference finals. He has to
feel like I'm knocking on the door. All we need
to do is make another move of another situation. So
I don't think that he's Kevin Gartnet at all. I
think that he is going to with new ownership and
(06:30):
with his desire that he's that close and looking at
the NBA. It's not your father's NBA where you got teams.
This is Lebron every year and Steph Curry and them.
I'm not looking at the Warriors long term. I'm not
looking at the Lakers long term. I'm looking at the
younger players that were starting to see and no situations.
(06:50):
So I think that he has a chance. And there's
no reason for Minnesota to panic and go like, oh,
we can't get it done here.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Oh my god. They just took over the team two
months ago.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I'm meaning full there were minority owners, but I mean
now that they're the owners, I guarantee you, guarantee you
that a Rod is not in this to just be
in it, that he wants to win a championship and
to be that close two years in a row, and
I ain't close. I mean obviously four games to one,
but I mean in it, you got to be in
(07:21):
the Western Conference finals to have a chance, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
So uh, I'm expecting that to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
My issue though, is you I go back to great
example Karl Anthony Towns. They had a chance in the
Western Conference Finals and they tried to dump taxes right there.
They don't want to pay it, and that is a
real thing in all sports.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But do you also think that maybe they didn't think
that he was the guy that they want to soak
the money into. And a lot of people, even Nick fans,
are like, is he really that guy? And you say
that he's better than Julius random Well, but they're also
going to be knocked out. So he went to New
York on the team. So I'm just saying yes on paper,
But does that mean you're gonna win or win with
(08:03):
Anthony we call Anthony Townsend. My big thing is the
type of money that he's gonna be paid compared to
Julius Randol. That might not be the money I want
to give to anybody, And.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm going back to a couple of things I just
took over. Yeah, the team, I'm not saying they this
is there, this is their run. But I'm talking about
just looking at the history of that franchise. And again,
I don't question ant Man's desire, just like I did
with Kevin Garnett, just like I did in his work ethic.
It's and he's playing on both ends of the ball.
Who can they get? Can they get free agents to
come to Minnesota, and I don't know, they don't often
(08:32):
get big time free agents.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Can they get the right guys?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And again last point, again, the Western Conference is crazy
right now. You got a bunch of young Houston's coming,
Denver's gonna still be there. Okay, see might have it
a lot for four or five years.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So yeah, But the difference is you're saying Kevin Garnett
waited ten years.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
He was twenty. I can't go to the future. I
can't tell you, I can't speak.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Nobody was twenty eight years old just to get to
the Western Conference.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
He had never been. That's totally different.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's a guy who's who's a has loyalty team, who
doesn't want to run away from a situation. Anybody could
have said, why would you stay there ten years? You
should have left after five or six years. And man
is a young player, twenty three, he's been there twice.
It's not to say it's apples and oranges.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
It's not the player, it's the organization. That's what I'm
trying to say about where he is, and what I'm
saying is too, this could be a Dann Marino where
you don't want to also just I'm gonna be here
several times. I know he hopes that and believes it,
but you gotta take advantage when you get there.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And he went one time it was even too.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But this is not even the final. Rob Davenrino went
to the Super Bowl. You cannot like it's the finals. No,
but you're talking about being at the final. You just
compared him to Kevin Garnett, who had to wait till
he was twenty eight years old. He came out of
high school, he played ten years, eighteen to twenty eight
just to get.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
To the Western Conference finals. Is not the same as
a guy who was twenty two and twenty three who
already made it there.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I'm saying, if I'm looking at it, I'm not saying,
oh my god, it's gonna take me ten years.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
No, we're close. You hope you're close.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And I like it, and I love what he's about,
and he better, he and the team better. Not resting
the laurels and just think, oh, it's automatic, because it's not.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Who said it was that. He just said he's gonna
work as hard as he can. He just say it's automatically.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
We're talking.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I just said he and the team, Rob the team.
I keep saying it. It is not my concern.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
But tonight is a milestone. Can we start there? It is?
It really is.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And tonight is the last broadcast of Inside the NBA
on TNT, And we thought it was gonna be the end.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You know, TNT lost the TV contract.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I told Chris Rob g am My Lion. I told
Chris this from a long time ago, that they were
gonna lose the NBA.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And I remember remember their CEO said.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
TNT could survive without the NBA on the record when
he said that. I was like, there's no way they're
coming back, because that was like to put that out there. Yeah,
it was like, oh, TNT can survive without the NBA.
That that was what the quote was. And I read that,
I was like, no way, the NBA is gonna look
at that and be like, oh, yeah, it will come
(11:28):
back to you. It's just not because there's other shooters
and whatnot and people looking for content and the only
thing that people watch today live sporting events and national news.
Nothing else, you know this, nothing else watch TV shows
when they want. They don't watch the local news like
they used to watch it. I could go on and
on and on. The numbers just bear it out. But anyway,
(11:53):
so next season, the NBA is moving inside. The NBA's
move moving to ESPN. Supposedly the same people were in
it or whatever, we're gonna do it, and they're just
kind of like selling the the property right of it,
but all the same cast members. They're all gonna be
(12:13):
back and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
But it's in the but it's.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Gonna be air on ESPN. And I know a lot
of people rejoiced and were happy.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
It was a mistake inside the NBA.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Coming back on ESPN next year is a mistake, a
colossal mistake. It ain't gonna work, It ain't gonna feel
the same, it ain't gonna be the same. TNT was
a unique situation. They didn't have all that other sports
properties and and Charles ripping on this and that, and
(12:51):
there were no other shows or personalities that they had
to worry about. As Pat McAfee, who was on YouTube,
I'm doing his day all I come over to ESPN.
He's on the air calling out bosses by name. He's
a rat, this and that. Oh no, Pat mavy's his
own entity.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
He doesn't. Really. Nobody's their own entity when they were
on a network. Nobody, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Somebody upstairs is gonna be like I don't want to
hear that or want that stop that. Yes, they'll tell
you have your autonomy, right, It don't work like.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
That inside the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Going to ESPN's like American Idol leaving Fox and going
to ABC. Have you watched since it don't feel the same,
Tell me it wasn't hot and hot happening when it
was on Fox. And they just figured like, oh, we'll
just move it to another network and then people are No.
(13:54):
I don't believe it's gonna feel the same, be the same.
And it's unfortunate because it's a great so they could
have gone out with a blaze of glory as the
all time great studio show.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Ever, what a great run almost thirty years, you know,
right for.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Real, it's okay to have a closing curtain. You don't
have to have to work all the way through and
just keep doing all these things and moving on and
to just hang on.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Sometimes it's great to go out on top. It is
John l Way super Bowl, super couldn't win. He won
one super Bowl, won two super Bowl. Thank you. I'm out.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Everybody wanted him to come back. I thank you. I
had a great career. I won two Super Bowls. You know,
if people remember them as a champ and a winner,
and it would have been great tonight for them to
put a bowl on it and say we want TNT.
We did something very special here and it ain't gonna
(15:00):
just transfer over somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I think they made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Well, so much of what you said, I can't even
disagree with it, and I can't argue.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The only thing I'll say, the caveat that I have
on why I actually still would reserve hope that the
show will still be good, that will still get ninety
five ninety percent of the product.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
A couple of reasons.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
One, they're still going to be having the TNT crew,
and I don't mean the four guys we see every
Thursday or every night and the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
That is already a good thing.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
You still got Kenny, Chuck, Chack check and earning having
the other people was vital for me.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
When I first heard are they're gonna get the guys?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I was like, because what makes that show special isn't
just the four guys.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
It is what you were saying.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It is the fact that that producers, they always shout
out TK TK who runs it. He allows for everybody
to do stuff. He allows for this person to do
the Hey you draw this on on Chuck's head. You
do that, and you don't typically get this. You've been
in TV rooms. You get people who get absolutely stuck
in the ego it has to be my way, don't
do this. And if you watch the documentary on this show,
(16:10):
you understand how they allow everybody. Yeah, they empower everybody. Hey,
do what you want, do what your best at give
it a shot. If it was whack, we won't do
it tomorrow, but go for it. They empower the illustrator
to draw stuff. They empower the kid who says, I
got a good idea and we play this song. Having
that crew gives me hope that they're gonna just be
able to just switch the network and keep it rolling
(16:34):
because of that crew, not just the four guys.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah, but it's that. But my issue isn't with that.
It's about the management.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Like you could act like they're not gonna have ESPN
is just gonna let them put the show on.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Here's where here, and here's where I'm gonna here's where.
I get your sentiment and I put a period next
to it. But again, a couple of things have happened
over the years. You mentioned the name, and I will
say I think he changed things a bit. I think
Pat McAfee coming on cursing, and I remember that being
at first when he first started, you know, cursing on
(17:08):
the show. You could tell ESBN didn't know what to do, like, okay, wait,
is that a lot?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Are we?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
And then they kind of just let it roll and
they make sure to put the disclaimer, Hey, this show
may have foul language.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
And I think he's created along with Club Shay Shay
and all the stuff he he's saying and doing on
all them shows and nightcaps while still getting to come
on the ESPN Disney there away it's Mondays and Tuesdays.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
No, But he's not saying that on Disney, right.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But what I'm saying is he is, but hear me,
hear me out though he's not saying that.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But all I'm saying is is created an atmosphere where
more things go than they typically used to.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You never used to be able to have.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Hey, by the way, on the other rest of the week,
I'm gonna do the show and I'm gonna say some
wold crazy stuff you knew know that you would never
allowed to do that.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
This show that got millions of views.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
It's not like a random one off podcast only one
hundred people listen to. So I do think the climate
of things have changed where people are more accepting and
they don't really do or say the wildest things. Chuck
Go say something, Chuck Gon disrespect the women in San Antonio.
But even doing that for twenty some years, so I
think we're all used to that. You know, he might
let an S word slip out every now and again,
(18:19):
but again based off what Pat McAfee's over there and
allowed to do, I just think the game has changed
a little bit. I would totally be with you ten
years ago, five years ago. Here's where I disagree.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
And Charles has said all the idiots over there on
ESPN on those shows like he has calling them out,
those are the things that ESPN.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
This is what. Don't I know that when I make
that signing, No, no, no, do not know what I'm business.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
But it's different now once you're on the air, and
now I have a guy bashing my other shows. Okay,
like seriously, like that sounds cool. Charles was doing it.
He always uh TNT was was separate. They didn't have
any other shows. They don't have anybody else to answer to.
It was twenty year old movies or inside the NBA
(19:03):
and basketball. That's all they had TNT. He wasn't on
there saying don't watch the morning show on TNT because those.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Guys are idiots. I'm serious. I can't believe that ESPN
will sit there and be cool with that.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Put him I think it's a different Disney is a
different climate. I think they're gonna be okay with that.
I think they're okay with getting roasted. I think they're
okay with watch she said, let me.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Tell you, let me tell you something, get up. I
go back to sleep. When get Up comes up, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
And then they come on that Monday or that Tuesday
the next day and they roast him. I think they're
gonna be like, let the show beats begin, let it,
let it happen. Let stephen a and and Kenny Smith
go at it and Chuck go at it in a
in a you know, friendlier way. I think they're gonna
welcome it. I think they're gonna absolutely embrace that. That
that him calling shows out, shows calling him back out.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I think they're gonna I don't think that's what you
want unless they want. I think they're gonna embrace it.
I worked there for eight years, and I just I
do not think that it's different some shows bashing other shows.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
No, they don't because they don't do it on the air.
They don't.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
The ESPN doesn't do they don't do the only thing
I'm saying is if I signed, if I signed an
artist or rock star who always gets in trouble with
Lee DUIs having drugs.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
And I signed him to the label. I know what
he comes with.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, but he was there, He was over there before
and they do have their own standards. Pat McAfee is
not the same exact show it used to be. I
mean once in a while to slip up, but he
it was way more cursing.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay, so what I'm saying, So did he change Pat
McAfee changed.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
No, did Pat McAfee.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
But I'm saying he would never work on ESBN five
to ten years ago.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I really need give he tempered it down?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Okay, what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. You're asking Chuck.
You're gonna ask him to temper it down? Can you
take it down a little bit? Out of first take?
Is our Mark Keys show in the morning. We just
don't want that. But can you can you avoid that?
Can you avoid telling people not to watch people?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Idiots?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Think you know what you're getting with Chuck and you
absolutely signed up for it, and I think you embrace it.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
This is what we get with Chuck. Shack can just
don't think it's.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Gonna be in that show show that that is to
remain to be seen.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I don't don't you know what I mean. We'll have
to wait and see what that.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
But me having me still holding reserve and hope is
because of the crew, not just the four guys. If
they said these four talents are going with the ESPN crew,
I would throw the talent because ESPN has not been
able to have a good basketball show.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, but it's about It's about the talent out there,
those four guys, if they still have their and.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
It's the stuff they do, like right right now. But
you're acting like there are no talented people at ESPN.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I'm not saying that, but not not only they don't
have the same green light that TNT allows. Just like
on this show, we have people feeling for Alex, but
Alex gets the show, he knows the show.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
He does.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He doesn't say when you were going for six weeks
two people, I'm just trying to get to rob G.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I would have said both all rob G not being here,
you feel it.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And I'm saying is if it was just the talent,
the stars of the show, I would really be like
Robby right there, it.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Was like we're producing the show every day. Does Rob
G really need to come back?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I mean it's true, Rob G know I was stalking
him on his days off. No gen who didn't call
you or text you?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Rob? I called him live on the air.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Remember that, because I was trying to I was trying
to give him respect. He was trying to nurture. You
said you said you don't need him no more.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
That's what he was like, Man, Rob G, rob e
rob schneed.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
We don't need him. I said, Rob G is busy,
he's probably breastfeeding.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Do you want me to tell you what Scott told me?
You said Scott said you hit him, was like, Yo,
we don't even need producer. They would just pay me
what you pay producers.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
He did.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You reached out to know that's what he told me.
He was like, hey, man, I don't know. Rob just said.
He was like, Yo, give me the producer's salaries.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Rob G, don't
buy that.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
You know that ain't nobody you were talking about whoever, whatever,
whatever you want to in the box, So why you not?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
It's shop talking, that's right. Is shop talk?
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Here in the odd couple of Fox Sports radis sing
where we talk about something happened outside of the world
of sports.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
This week's topic is a doozy okay.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
It comes to us from down Under and if you
have a queasy stomach, maybe turn your radio down. So
you're going, well, I'm not going to say exactly what happened,
but here we got stomach hurts. There was a story
that went viral over the weekend, Heard the World, went
viral over the weekend in Australia, and then it kept
going viral as it made his way stateside earlier in
the week.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I don't know if you know, rob Ge, I've been
down on you. There was a woman who sat on
social media.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
She spent the better part of seven years suffering from
constant sinus infections. Doctors could not figure out what was
wrong with her until they do a swab, and they
found out the culprit. Her ex boyfriend at the time,
during a hotel stay, pulled the practical joke on her
that led to her getting e coli in her nose
(24:14):
that was there for seven years, totally derailed her life.
I'll tell you off the air what exactly did to
get e coli.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
And you're not gonna like it, Thank you, Alex. Here's
a question.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
If someone you know, love and care about does a
practical joke that has that kind of a lasting impression,
how soon, if ever, do you forgive them?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Dub Well, I mean there are certain people you have
to forgive, meaning like if it's my sister, you know,
my children, like they're one or two friends, you kind
of like have to because I think the intent nobody
intended for you to be seven years but a random
that you're kind of cool with, like a coworker or something.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now we might have smoked forever. Im.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I might forgive you because that's good for me, cleansing
the poison in my heart, but I might not have
to rock with you anymore. I can't hate somebody forever
because that's bad, that that messes you up.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Rob you you know how I roll? Don't you you're
dead to me? It would be dead to me, but
you wouldn't know you were dead to me, but you
would be dead to me, So.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
I would think people like that. I know some people
like that one. You know what I'm saying. The only
problem with that is you're dead to me? Now? Am
I dead to him? Like you don't know who's dead?
And like I don't know. No, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
But I'm just saying, once once you like do something
crazy to me or you know, like.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I'm good, I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I don't need it, don't need to happen twice or
for you to think you you're you know? So what
about forgiveness? I'm not into that. I'm not into that.
That's why I'm not married. I'm just being honest.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Like the man just look at my eyes and told me,
I'm not into that. Like I said, it's true though, Hey,
what do you mean it's true? Alex?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
No, hold on, I'll give you a statistic that blew
my mind. You ready for this?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Do you know that somebody who cheats on you is
now four times more likely to cheat on you again?
Of course, so what does forgiveness do? Then you went
to an extreme example.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I'm just tell me.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
What I'm saying is there could be plenty of things
forgive me. I'm just saying I talked to you crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Uh no, because I hold from you ten years ago
because to me seriously, and I'm not I don't want
to take over the segment, but I'm being honest, like, uh,
I shouldn't have to convince you that I'm like good
and in your corner or whatever. And if you were
to disrespect me and talk to me a certain way,
(26:37):
that's just you've already you've already breached that and can't
come back to me to ball or later that night
and go like, oh, well, you know, I don't know
why you would.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
No, no, no, what you said was what you meant,
because okay, I hear you now. I'm gonna go to
the other side of this.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I'm just saying that when you either of you two
have wronged or spoken to or did any thing wrong,
I'm not gonna stout.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Shout, not want to forgivenness.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I'm the no because I'm not gonna say anything to
dig at your core to try to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
You know what I see, But that now that assumes
one didn't. You've full of assumed that what I did
or said didn't hurt your feelings.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
So I believe forgiveness is for yourself.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Why had you heard me say that that letting the
go of the poison. Yeah, I do it.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
I agree with that, But I'm also letting go of
you two. I'm not gonna sit around here and just
keep messing with the same stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'm gonna let you all slide today. No like real
do Kaito?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
What's the definition of insanity? We're gonna change? No, Rob,
you know better than anybody in this industry. Do people change?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
No?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Whatever they got, whatever you see, that's what that's what
they are. All right, rob Gie, where are you you?
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I had something similar happened a couple of years ago. Rob,
you knowed this almost lost my eyesight for like six weeks. Uh,
you know, plenty of visits of the doctor. But at
that point it was an accident and it was my
three year old daughter who did it to me. In
this case, where it's a grown man who decides to
use something on purpose that leads to this kind of stuff,
(28:09):
no thought.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
What are you doing? This is wild? That's why I said,
this is what are you even thinking about?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
First of all, the fact of what he really did,
felt that comfortable to do that to her.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I don't want to know the other show he laid
up in THET in a bed with ankle surgery.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Shit.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I don't want to know what else he was doing.
I don't want to be You can't be that comfortable
with me. Never be sorry.
