Speaker 4 (04:31):
All right, let's welcome into the odd couple crew, because
we wouldn't be able to do this farm radio program.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Without them at all.

Rob g is our producer, Alex is our engineer.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Sorry, route for the restroom right now, No doubt. Who's
doing the updates? I hate that? Yeah, if you're not
heres is at the anchor desk, Sho keep us updated

Speaker 4 (04:58):
And Sager Soccer is our social media gurul. Yes, and
we've had some issues at Fox Sports Radio. No running
water now, you know, so, Alex, if you had a
hot dog truck or like a push card in New York.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And you didn't have access to a bathroom.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
To wash your hands, you would have to use the
water from the hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Oh stop, oh stop? Okay, all right, you know they
call him dirty water hot tig. Oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well and then this is but the crazy part is Alex.
This is the man who still eats the dirty water
hot dog water.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You eat them so good, they're so good, they just
thot's like malaria. Aside. Let me get one of the
real quick. That's right, make it a COVID dog, real quick. Yeah,
two of them were bustard, a COVID dog. Very nice.
All right, here we go, big show.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Let's get into it, and we're gonna start with some
summer league and be a summer league out in Vegas,
and Rob G will bring Rob G into set the the.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You ain't gonna make it six years, you ain't gonna
make it. I'm sorry, I'm trying. I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Well as you teach an old dog new trick, I
could tell well, as you guys know, we're about an
hour away from tip off the big debut. Cooper Flag
make it his summer league debut tonight, eight pm Eastern,
going head to head on the Marquee against the fifty
fifth pick of last season, Brownie James and the Los
Angeles Lakers Summer league squad guys.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
According to Vivid seats.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
As of eleven am this morning local time in Vegas,
the average ticket price was up to two hundred and
twenty three dollars per ticket, the cheapest being about eighty
five bucks a court side seat, running you a crisp
three grand.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
But that's not the story here.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
The story is, of course, while this is Cooper Flag's
big debut, the number one pick, he has to share
top billing with Bronnie James. In fact, when ESPN put
out a social media graphic promoting tonight's game to put
off about an hour, here's only read all caps Cooper Flag,
(07:13):
Bronnie James.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Cinema Rob. You got a problem with that, QUILP. Yeah,
I have a big problem with it. And there's two things.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because the graphic I saw, Ronnie James was on the left,
Am I right? And Cooper Flag was on the right,
left to right? Don't you go left to right? Okay,
So here's my issue with this. Bronnie James does not
nt belong on the marquee. Once again, the minions are
(07:44):
trying to manipulate you, fool you into thinking what you're
going to see is something special and something that you.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Can't miss, must see TV.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
And then also, I'm worried about Cooper Flag because his
but should be enough.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He's the chosen one, he's the new guy.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Oh my god, he's white chocolate times two, double dipped.
He's gonna be Larry Bird, Larry Ostrich, Larry I don't know,
Larry Raven.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
He's going to.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Be all of that plus ten bags of chips. And
the only way we could sell the next great white
player in this country is to attach him to a
second round pick, fifty fifth pick who couldn't play well
at USC who you know, did mop up duties for
(08:43):
the Lakers for the most part and played in the
G League and didn't do anything to make you feel like,
oh my god, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
He's going to be something special.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You have to pay Bronnie James to get people to
watch Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
That's where we are.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I mean, really, Bronnie James should not be on the
same marquee as Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
They're not the same.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
The only thing that they have going for them is
that Bronnie James is dead, is somebody super famous. So
they're trying to attach the two. They don't go together
at all, They didn't play together.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
They if they are rivals. What do they have in common?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
They have absolutely nothing in common other than they're playing
in some meaningless Summer League basketball game in Las Vegas,
and people who have nothing to do or are afraid
of the tables are gonna go there to waste two hours.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
That's what's gonna happen. Bah humbud.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
First of all, Rob, you gotta remember, dude, this is
the Summer League, and this is where so many people
have already planned to go see what they believe could
be the next young star, whether it's Cooper Flag, whether
it's it is obviously Bronni. And remember, Vegas is LA
Light when it comes to the Lakers. Did we talk
about all the time when we have Lamar Mitchwell and
(10:11):
bet mgm, when we have anybody else who knows anything
about Vegas, they always say, Oh, my gosh, the Lakers
do huge Vegas. Oh my gosh, Lakers. This is their
home away from home. Oh the Lakers have preseason games
in Vegas. This is home for them. So so many
LA people make the trip and they go to Vegas
and they're Laker fans and they want to see Bronni
because they've been following his journey since Sierra Canyon USC and.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Now of course with the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So I think you're under selling how many people actually
are rooting for Bronni want to see Bronni.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
And if that was last year, that last old news,
that was last year.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Come on, but this happened last Summer league. But this
happens in the summer league. Rop when you're when you're
you go a couple of years. Unless you are saying rookie,
if you're a Jason Tatum or somebody, you saw Bronnie
playing the NBA last year, this is nothing. The novelgetea
was last did we Yeah? But the novelty was the
novelty was last year? Right, yeah, so well get that
(11:12):
not this year. But so what people are going for
is hoping and what they saw happened in the G
League because he has played so much in the G
League last year against seventy five percent of the league
and this summer league who won't be playing in the
NBA exactly the same.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Thing, exactly what the league.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So they're gonna see him and to see if he
can actually produce now that he's beat up on the
G League with guys mostly who won't make the league.
Can that translate into the summer league again against guys
who for the large part either won't make the league
or won't get meaningful minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
So of course they're going to sell that. You know this,
this is marketing one O one.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I have a kid again who's been famous since really
essentially his birth.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Everyone's followed his birth, the rivals. It's a phony pair.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
If this were Brownie versus as, it would be Brannie
A's Bailey. If this was for whatever reasons, If when
Ben Yama they said we want to work him back up,
you know, to see his stamina, it would be Brani
And when ben Yama, absolutely this is gonna happen. I'm
not saying he's Cooper Flag's level of talent. Cooper Flags
should be better. Now this will be his first real
go at it, so you know, he got to get
(12:18):
his legs up under him. But he's a he's a
much better prospect, that's not even a question. But absolutely,
for marketing persons purposes, for the NBA, for Vegas, for
summer league, you knew this was gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
The right was on the wall.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
It's false advertising. It's false advertising. Fans should should follow
class action suit. It's false advertising. What do you what
do you what exactly is having those two guys they're
gonna be on the court at some point?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Are they going mono imano? They make that what this
is they may do. I do think more people.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Are optimistic and rooting for Broanni than you may think,
and meaning they just want to go see in their
and hopefully he plays well, and they're they're.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Rooting for the story of him.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Uh, not that they think he's going to be in
five time ten time All Star, more so that he
finds his footing because he's he's come off as for
all the things that like for his father, he's polarizing.
People hate him, they love him, they're tired of him.
And I get all of that, right, He's been around,
He's been in our subconscious for eons at this point.
But I think for Bronnie, who comes off when they
(13:24):
ask some questions like, man, I'm just trying to become
the best defender I can because I know that's gonna
be one of the main keys I play off in
the league, play in the league. When they ask him
questions about this, he comes off very responsible, very likable.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
There are a lot of.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
People also who look at him as a uh the
kid with a goldens with a silver spoon in his
mouth and in the league is the only the only
reason he's in the league is because of his dad
and his last name, and it's not his talent. So
there's a lot of people on the other side. I mean,
you find positives in everything, like talking to you.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
So I think I got four cavities just listening to that.
I'm saying that rock you wear? This is what hat?
Do you wear? A lot?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
What does it say? MLB bro? You wear shirts? They
say our show the Hot Couple, you wear a shirt.
My point is, come on, Rob, is this thing on?
You're mister marketing you? What are you doing here? How
are you missing this? It's the NBA.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
If I it's not, it's not a real market. It's not.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
It's not if they were one and two in the draft,
or they had a rivalry in high school or rivalry
in college.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'm buying it. That's what I'm trying to die. It's
not a real The season's over. I gotta get you
to phone.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
It's a three dollar bill.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
If I put my hand on it, guess what I'd
have to wash it? That's how bad it is. I'm
not buying into it. And let me give you the number.
Go ahead, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. And
I just do you have a problem with Bronnie James
(15:00):
up on the marque alongside Cooper Flag like their equals
when they then the only equal that Brownie is to
Cooper Flag is if he had a couple of package
in his back pocket.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I mean, that's the only equal that he would be.
We'll continue that conversation.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
To go ahead and laugh, Go ahead and laugh, We'll
continue with that equals.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That one was sweet hand low okay, oh, very nice,
very nice, Kelvin.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I didn't know you could think on your feet that
one was right there. I don't know. I don't know
if it was sweet and low.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Washing, I don't know, but I gotta pull that one
out there, and you pulled that out of your God,

Eight seven seven ninety nine ozer? Fox will take some calls.
Who we got raped?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Let's go Doug in New York. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Doug?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
How you doing it?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Is the original Doug the rug?
Speaker 8 (17:47):
And I can tell you the rug is gone.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
I just want to.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Say that with the rop what other.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
What would you want the NBA?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Did you to hype up the off season outside of trees?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
They don't need to hype up Doug. Cooper is all right?
Speaker 9 (18:11):
No, you can.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I want you to talk because it's your show, and
then and I can respond.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Back, thank you, Doug.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Cooper Flag is supposed to be the next hotness? Can
we talk about Cooper Flag? If if it was if
Brownie wasn't in this game and it was nobody else,
they would just say, watch the debut of Cooper Flag.
It should be about Cooper Flag, who was the first
overall pick. People have high expectations, not about Brownie.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
He's last year's.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
News and expecting to cook. Now you played in the NBA,
you better come cook. This is your super.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Brandon in Phoenix. You're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
What's up, Brandon?
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Fellas ro I couldn't agree with I couldn't agree with
you more. It's an absolute joke. Bronnie James isn't even
as good as your average NBA player on any team
right now. The only reason that it's getting as much
hype as it is is, you know, and anybody holding
on the hope that Bronnie is gonna be some star
in the NBA is just the lebron fan club.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
People exactly the US spot on. I mean, they think
they think we're dumb.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
They really think we're dumb, and we don't know basketball,
and we don't know what we're watching Brandon, and they think, oh,
wait a minute, Bronnie and Cooper playing the night.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I gotta watch this good.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
They're gonna get an eight point five TV waiting to
see Bronnie and Cooper Flag Sell Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
He's your new guy, isn't he.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, they're not even on the same level. And the
other piece to it is, if you look at Bronnie
in the G League, he's not dominating. It's not like
the guy average twenty five twenty seven points a game
in the G League last.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Year, twenty seven a game. He'd be in the NBA
all the time. You doing that that kind of numbers?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Now, come on, I want anything, Thanks Brandon, Thanks for
the call.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Appreciated.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Will in Wisconsin, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
What's up, Will, what's going on around?
Speaker 8 (20:14):
What's going on? Calvin?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
What? I will?
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Nothing much? Calvin Man. To your point, Bronnie is I
won't say he's the first kind of star that people
have followed in this digital age, from like, you know,
his basketball infancy until getting in the League, but Ronnie
two K and Cooper Flag aka the new future Man
taking over from Wimby in this Hrry Christna phase here.
(20:40):
But it's just one of those things where in this
age where you know, the new sort of age of
viewer who have been following these guys. I mean, we've
seen Cooper flag Duck in basketballs man since he was
in middle school. So it's just one of those things
where you.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Know, Will Will, can I stop you? Are you let
me say this? Will?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You were the same one who was waving the pom
poms that Mike Tyson at sixty years old. Oh, you
gotta watch Jake Paul because they told you to watch
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. I told anybody who would listen,
Kelvin wouldn't listen, Rob g wouldn't listen. All these people.
I told you stop allowing people to dictate and tell
(21:23):
you stuff that you know when you're right in your
own eyes, that it ain't a match, it doesn't go together.
And I tried to warn people how many people were
sucking into the Mike Tyson thing that they were gonna
see something special, and they got garbage.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
This is garbage.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
This is garb so Bronnie, or if let's just say
his name was Joe john Smith, John Smith who was
picked by the Lakers, who had and will put up
twenty two a game in the GEI League. Wait, what
what they're gonna put somebody has.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
To be up there. No, they don't know, they don't.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The guy happens to be the heir of, you know,
the son of somebody famous who already has a massive following.
I don't get the issue with the marketing, Like that's
just marketing.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
One on one. They don't go together. What part don't
you understand? You don't put you know what it's like,
you know what it's like on Broadway.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
It would be like putting the star in the marquee
and the guy who's taking the tickets.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
They don't go on the same marquee. They're the You're
missing the point of it being July summer.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Rob, This isn't nobody saying let's do the top two
are the top ten players in the end are young players?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
And you said that completely would agree.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
This is a marketing to get people to watch in
Vegas where mad people are coming from La Come on, Rob,
you know that?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Mark g underscore Madina, give him a follow?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Mark how many people there from Los Angeles? Can you
give me a Hey count?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Please? Mark there? No, he's getting a Brownie's. We got you,
we got you, were you were?
Speaker 9 (24:09):
Eighty percent are from l A. I was actually told
that this game is going to be a sellout. Seventeen thousand,
five hundred fans in the building.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Tell Rob that. Tell him how many people from LA again?
I couldn't hear you say that again, because.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Yeah, about eighty I think about eighty percent.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Okay, okay, okay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Don't know how I want I want to I want
I want to see the ticket stops called obvious though, I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Want to see them eighty percent.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
My foot ain't no way you don't want to, Rob.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
I didn't go by the tickets stop. I went by
the Laker jerseys.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, okay, that's the people where Laker jerseys on from
l A.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
What do you that that's a national team?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Rob, They're coming a lot of things from understand how
that's even debatable.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Robert like, come on now, now, Mark, you're there.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Rob and I were just getting into our first debate
of the show, as we do. I don't have a
problem with Bronnie being on it, just simply from a
marketing standpoint. It's July tenth and off the offbeat, you know,
off season of the league. Of course they're gonna market
Cooper Flag, the number one pick, who a lot of
people have high hope for, and Bronnie, who is lebron
James's son, who has also been through the G League.
(25:19):
This will be a second go at it. Why wouldn't they?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
But Rob says this is dud to Chris, well.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Look, I mean I know that there's a fair discussion
about Bronnie James and whether he's NBA right or not.
But if he's in the league, he's got to do
summer league because that's really the only way to get better,
you get actual rep.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
It's it's not that he shouldn't be in his summer league, Mark,
that's not it. He doesn't belong on the marquee with
Cooper Flag. They're not the same player, not the same level.
It's just it's it's the NBA in ESPN trying to
make you feel like this is something special happening, when
in reality it's not. They're not rivals, didn't play against
(25:57):
each other in college. Didn't like the Magic Michael, I
mean Magic and Bird or something special like that. This
is why can't this just be Cooper Flag's debut. He's
the new hotness, He's.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
The white chocolate.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Everybody can't wait to have someone by the way.
Speaker 9 (26:15):
Let me step it, Rob. I was gonna say, you're
on to a point, but I think it extends beyond
Bronni here. I think the NBA is really trying to
milk this whole Lakers Mavericks connection because of the Luka
Danchiks trade and Anthony Davis being on the team. I
want to be surprised. It's not just going to be
about who's on the court, but who's on the sideline.
(26:36):
I'm just going to give a prediction here. I want
to be surprised Lebron is here to see Brownie play,
but also to tap up Cooper Flag and say, hey,
you know, I'm an NBA star, embracing the next you know,
NBA rookie star, but ignores any Lakers front office luminary
because of what's going on with the team.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Hey, Mark, that's actually a great point. We know that
there is at least sports out there, and supposedly Lebron
hasn't I don't know, called or texted DeAndre Ayden if
you know any accuracy to that number one, can you know?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Let us know? And then also do you make a
big deal of it?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
You know, is is that a sign of how things
are going right now with Lebron and the Lakers?
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Well, I think it's a big deal only because when
you have a new player, a new teammate, you try
to forge some kind of connection. Doesn't mean it has
to be an in depth discussion because it is the summer,
but at least some type of greed in. I mean,
Luka Dancic already touch base. Its DeAndre and they're linked
in that draft class. They have a relationship. I think
(27:41):
it also brought back reminders when Kobe Bryant, the way
Kobe Bryant was with the Lakers during his final year,
there was an influx of different free agents I think
it was Roy Hibbert, Lou Williams, Brandon Bass and they
were all asked if Kobe had reached out to them,
and they were all. They all respond to the press
conference with an awkward and I think with that it's
(28:01):
fair to interpret that there's not a lot of enthusiasm.
But I think in this case, in Lebron's case, it's
much different because he has Luca Dancis as a teammate.
They still made the playoffs. I know that there's question
marks about where are they rank in the playoffs? Is
DeAndre at going to be a fit? But it's not
like there are lottery teams, and so I think, you
know what's disappointing is this seems to be the best
(28:25):
outcome for both parties. The Lakers keeping Lebron for the
final year. They couldn't really get much in return for
him of value given where he's at in his career,
and I think the same thing with Lebron. I don't
think that he could get traded to a better situation.
So it's just disappointing that you know that he's not
trying to make the best of the circumstance.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
You know, I'm on NBA dot com and they have
as they scroll through their pictures you go to NBA
dot com, there was no picture of Brownie and Cooper
flag together. It's a picture Cooper Flag by hisself because they're.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Not sell anything. And that's that's my point.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
If this was a real thing, why does an NBA
dot com have them paired together? Because that's not It
should be about Cooper Flag, and that's what it should
be about.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
My next question is about Okay, see, do they have
any more money left in the state.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I just they're just handing out money to everybody.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Well, uh, it's the right move to make giving extensions
to chet Holmgren and Joel Williams. Yeah, they do have money,
but we have to keep in mind these are MAX
extensions for rookie players, so it's not like the same
kind of max for a star player. The tough decisions
are going to be have to be made the next
years as far as what they do with their role players.
(29:49):
I think it's very clear that they can maintain having
Shake Gilgess, Alexander chet Holmgrin and Jael Williams as a trio,
but ken they had the kind of depth moving forward
with really good role players, and that's gonna be challenging
because they were able to do that here because they
drafted really well. They didn't have a big payroll. But
(30:09):
now the bill is gonna get higher. But for now
they don't have to worry about it because they're allowed
to do it. I think in two years is when
you know the second apron penalies would kick in.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, Yeah, they're definitely gonna have to be.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It's gonna be two chefs in the kitchen with those
two aprons without a doubt, because they're gonna have They're
gonna jump all up in that.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Uh, Mollie question is on a backless aprons, That's.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
All I want to know.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I love that because I love what's the sitting obvious there,
But I love it.
Speaker 3 (30:37):

daily dicks against the Sprat.
Speaker 3 (33:57):

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Hey? Hey, I know this stalling tactic Rob. I noticed, Wow,
Alex what they say?
Speaker 3 (34:08):

Speaker 4 (34:11):
At least get one one and two Last night on
the sheckl City uh season total one seventy two and

the Saint Louis Cardinals minus one and a half runs,
the Guardians minus one and a half runs, and the
(34:33):
Braves against the A's in Sacramento minus one and a
half runs.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
I just ran that one back. I remember that was
my best bet last night.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
That's the one I got, right because the Braves got
beat up by the A's on Tuesday night and I
was like, Wednesday night, they'll bounce back. They did so
once again. Best bet cards minus one and a half.
Then we got the Guardians minus one and a half
and the Braves minus one and a half. And remember, Kevin,
I'm not telling you who the bet on I had
a I'm telling you now who I bet one.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
No, I do not Rob. You went one and five
with the running back. Don't run it back no more.
You said this is a you said it's an odd
couple exclusive.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I've never done this before. I know one in five
was not a good thing. I was wrong. I think
the ancestors would tell you, Rob, don't there's a reason
you ain't.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Never did it. Don't do it again. It's all right,
you're gonna bounce back today. That's the thing. Despite me
wanting to put you in a head locker take that,
I still root for you.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
You got this, okay, three and note tonight. I believe
in you. All right. It's now time for your tire

(36:06):
should be. So go check that out, all right, what's
up with this?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Some rich folks having some big houses that end up
being what they call the white elephants just sitting there
and now they gotta go to Airbnb tel tell us
a little bit more about this.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Uh, rog, Yeah, that's right, that Michael Jordan luxurious mansion
he's got just outside of Chicago in Highland Park nine.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
I'm real white elephant. I'm just saying, Oh.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Gosh, you're the wrong person to make that joke. Rob
nine bedroom, nineteen bathroom.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
He had it listed, I believe, at one point for
thirteen years on the market because he couldn't sell it.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Now he finally what twenty wasn't it twenty nine million? Yes?
Speaker 6 (36:45):
And ultimately the guy who bought it bought it for
nine and a half million. Uh. He recently listed it
himself for fifteen thinking to make a sale. Nobody's buying it,
and now he's turning in to do a massive Airbnb.
It's just all all bad news. If you got a
big house right now Chicago.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
Which is one thing I don't understand is this, like
like people make this mistake thinking that somebody else will
come along and automatically buy it or whatever.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
And a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Is custom made stuff that you want and people don't
understand or I don't know why rich people don't get this.
If I had twenty nine million dollars to buy your house,
I could build my own house the way I want it,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
So why would I buy your existing home.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I can buy all new, you know, pay twenty million,
but it'll be what the way I want it, not
the way you wanted it.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, No, you brought up a great point there.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Plus also too, when you when you look at things
that are that excessive, like nineteen bathrooms, oftentimes when people
forget this, it's the main that's Robbie. How many times
we have conversations rob too and our text chat groups
about like, oh man, I gotta have some plumbing stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
I got plumbers coming to the house. I got this,
I got.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
That nineteen bathrooms is nineteen headaches, and you know it's
sounds good, like, oh man, if I was fifteen I
had a dream house, I'd have nineteen bathrooms and I
would Yeah, once you become a reality, like that's a headache,
that's a problem. That's a plumbing issue, which translates to
water damage, which translates to mold, and that's just insane. Plus,
the only way you could really get away with that
(38:16):
is if it's in like Malibu maybe where people you
have the access to Hollywood stars who maybe would do that.
Hyde Park and Illinois is not the market for a
twenty nine million dollar house. That ain't the market for that, man,
So somebody keeps taking l's with that house. But that
would be a cool Airbnb. I'll want to do it.
I got half on it.

Well as you teach an old dog new trick, I
could tell well, as you guys know, we're about an
hour away from tip off the big debut. Cooper Flag
make it his summer league debut tonight, eight pm Eastern,
going head to head on the Marquee against the fifty
fifth pick of last season, Brownie James and the Los
Angeles Lakers Summer league squad guys.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
According to Vivid seats.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
As of eleven am this morning local time in Vegas,
the average ticket price was up to two hundred and
twenty three dollars per ticket, the cheapest being about eighty
five bucks a court side seat, running you a crisp
three grand.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
But that's not the story here.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
The story is, of course, while this is Cooper Flag's
big debut, the number one pick, he has to share
top billing with Bronnie James. In fact, when ESPN put
out a social media graphic promoting tonight's game to put
off about an hour, here's only read all caps Cooper Flag,
(07:13):
Bronnie James.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Cinema Rob. You got a problem with that, QUILP. Yeah,
I have a big problem with it. And there's two things.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because the graphic I saw, Ronnie James was on the left,
Am I right? And Cooper Flag was on the right,
left to right? Don't you go left to right? Okay,
So here's my issue with this. Bronnie James does not
nt belong on the marquee. Once again, the minions are
(07:44):
trying to manipulate you, fool you into thinking what you're
going to see is something special and something that you.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Can't miss, must see TV.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
And then also, I'm worried about Cooper Flag because his
but should be enough.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He's the chosen one, he's the new guy.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Oh my god, he's white chocolate times two, double dipped.
He's gonna be Larry Bird, Larry Ostrich, Larry I don't know,
Larry Raven.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
He's going to.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Be all of that plus ten bags of chips. And
the only way we could sell the next great white
player in this country is to attach him to a
second round pick, fifty fifth pick who couldn't play well
at USC who you know, did mop up duties for
(08:43):
the Lakers for the most part and played in the
G League and didn't do anything to make you feel like,
oh my god, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
He's going to be something special.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You have to pay Bronnie James to get people to
watch Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
That's where we are.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I mean, really, Bronnie James should not be on the
same marquee as Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
They're not the same.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
The only thing that they have going for them is
that Bronnie James is dead, is somebody super famous. So
they're trying to attach the two. They don't go together
at all, They didn't play together.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
They if they are rivals. What do they have in common?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
They have absolutely nothing in common other than they're playing
in some meaningless Summer League basketball game in Las Vegas,
and people who have nothing to do or are afraid
of the tables are gonna go there to waste two hours.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
That's what's gonna happen. Bah humbud.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
First of all, Rob, you gotta remember, dude, this is
the Summer League, and this is where so many people
have already planned to go see what they believe could
be the next young star, whether it's Cooper Flag, whether
it's it is obviously Bronni. And remember, Vegas is LA
Light when it comes to the Lakers. Did we talk
about all the time when we have Lamar Mitchwell and
(10:11):
bet mgm, when we have anybody else who knows anything
about Vegas, they always say, Oh, my gosh, the Lakers
do huge Vegas. Oh my gosh, Lakers. This is their
home away from home. Oh the Lakers have preseason games
in Vegas. This is home for them. So so many
LA people make the trip and they go to Vegas
and they're Laker fans and they want to see Bronni
because they've been following his journey since Sierra Canyon USC and.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Now of course with the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So I think you're under selling how many people actually
are rooting for Bronni want to see Bronni.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
And if that was last year, that last old news,
that was last year.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Come on, but this happened last Summer league. But this
happens in the summer league. Rop when you're when you're
you go a couple of years. Unless you are saying rookie,
if you're a Jason Tatum or somebody, you saw Bronnie
playing the NBA last year, this is nothing. The novelgetea
was last did we Yeah? But the novelty was the
novelty was last year? Right, yeah, so well get that
(11:12):
not this year. But so what people are going for
is hoping and what they saw happened in the G
League because he has played so much in the G
League last year against seventy five percent of the league
and this summer league who won't be playing in the
NBA exactly the same.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Thing, exactly what the league.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So they're gonna see him and to see if he
can actually produce now that he's beat up on the
G League with guys mostly who won't make the league.
Can that translate into the summer league again against guys
who for the large part either won't make the league
or won't get meaningful minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
So of course they're going to sell that. You know this,
this is marketing one O one.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I have a kid again who's been famous since really
essentially his birth.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Everyone's followed his birth, the rivals. It's a phony pair.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
If this were Brownie versus as, it would be Brannie
A's Bailey. If this was for whatever reasons, If when
Ben Yama they said we want to work him back up,
you know, to see his stamina, it would be Brani
And when ben Yama, absolutely this is gonna happen. I'm
not saying he's Cooper Flag's level of talent. Cooper Flags
should be better. Now this will be his first real
go at it, so you know, he got to get
(12:18):
his legs up under him. But he's a he's a
much better prospect, that's not even a question. But absolutely,
for marketing persons purposes, for the NBA, for Vegas, for
summer league, you knew this was gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
The right was on the wall.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
It's false advertising. It's false advertising. Fans should should follow
class action suit. It's false advertising. What do you what
do you what exactly is having those two guys they're
gonna be on the court at some point?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Are they going mono imano? They make that what this
is they may do. I do think more people.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Are optimistic and rooting for Broanni than you may think,
and meaning they just want to go see in their
and hopefully he plays well, and they're they're.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Rooting for the story of him.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Uh, not that they think he's going to be in
five time ten time All Star, more so that he
finds his footing because he's he's come off as for
all the things that like for his father, he's polarizing.
People hate him, they love him, they're tired of him.
And I get all of that, right, He's been around,
He's been in our subconscious for eons at this point.
But I think for Bronnie, who comes off when they
(13:24):
ask some questions like, man, I'm just trying to become
the best defender I can because I know that's gonna
be one of the main keys I play off in
the league, play in the league. When they ask him
questions about this, he comes off very responsible, very likable.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
There are a lot of.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
People also who look at him as a uh the
kid with a goldens with a silver spoon in his
mouth and in the league is the only the only
reason he's in the league is because of his dad
and his last name, and it's not his talent. So
there's a lot of people on the other side. I mean,
you find positives in everything, like talking to you.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
So I think I got four cavities just listening to that.
I'm saying that rock you wear? This is what hat?
Do you wear? A lot?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
What does it say? MLB bro? You wear shirts? They
say our show the Hot Couple, you wear a shirt.
My point is, come on, Rob, is this thing on?
You're mister marketing you? What are you doing here? How
are you missing this? It's the NBA.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
If I it's not, it's not a real market. It's not.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
It's not if they were one and two in the draft,
or they had a rivalry in high school or rivalry
in college.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'm buying it. That's what I'm trying to die. It's
not a real The season's over. I gotta get you
to phone.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
It's a three dollar bill.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
If I put my hand on it, guess what I'd
have to wash it? That's how bad it is. I'm
not buying into it. And let me give you the number.
Go ahead, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. And
I just do you have a problem with Bronnie James
(15:00):
up on the marque alongside Cooper Flag like their equals
when they then the only equal that Brownie is to
Cooper Flag is if he had a couple of package
in his back pocket.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I mean, that's the only equal that he would be.
We'll continue that conversation.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
To go ahead and laugh, Go ahead and laugh, We'll
continue with that equals.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That one was sweet hand low okay, oh, very nice,
very nice, Kelvin.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I didn't know you could think on your feet that
one was right there. I don't know. I don't know
if it was sweet and low.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Washing, I don't know, but I gotta pull that one
out there, and you pulled that out of your God,
all right, we'll continue that conversation next with you. It

the marketing tip. Are they over hyping its brownie out
in the same billing as Cooper Flag? What do you say?
Eight seven seven ninety nine ozer? Fox will take some calls.
Who we got raped?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Let's go Doug in New York. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Doug?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
How you doing it?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Is the original Doug the rug?
Speaker 8 (17:47):
And I can tell you the rug is gone.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
I just want to.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Say that with the rop what other.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
What would you want the NBA?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Did you to hype up the off season outside of trees?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
They don't need to hype up Doug. Cooper is all right?
Speaker 9 (18:11):
No, you can.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I want you to talk because it's your show, and
then and I can respond.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Back, thank you, Doug.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Cooper Flag is supposed to be the next hotness? Can
we talk about Cooper Flag? If if it was if
Brownie wasn't in this game and it was nobody else,
they would just say, watch the debut of Cooper Flag.
It should be about Cooper Flag, who was the first
overall pick. People have high expectations, not about Brownie.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
He's last year's.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
News and expecting to cook. Now you played in the NBA,
you better come cook. This is your super.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Brandon in Phoenix. You're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
What's up, Brandon?
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Fellas ro I couldn't agree with I couldn't agree with
you more. It's an absolute joke. Bronnie James isn't even
as good as your average NBA player on any team
right now. The only reason that it's getting as much
hype as it is is, you know, and anybody holding
on the hope that Bronnie is gonna be some star
in the NBA is just the lebron fan club.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
People exactly the US spot on. I mean, they think
they think we're dumb.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
They really think we're dumb, and we don't know basketball,
and we don't know what we're watching Brandon, and they think, oh,
wait a minute, Bronnie and Cooper playing the night.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I gotta watch this good.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
They're gonna get an eight point five TV waiting to
see Bronnie and Cooper Flag Sell Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
He's your new guy, isn't he.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, they're not even on the same level. And the
other piece to it is, if you look at Bronnie
in the G League, he's not dominating. It's not like
the guy average twenty five twenty seven points a game
in the G League last.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Year, twenty seven a game. He'd be in the NBA
all the time. You doing that that kind of numbers?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Now, come on, I want anything, Thanks Brandon, Thanks for
the call.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Appreciated.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Will in Wisconsin, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
What's up, Will, what's going on around?
Speaker 8 (20:14):
What's going on? Calvin?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
What? I will?
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Nothing much? Calvin Man. To your point, Bronnie is I
won't say he's the first kind of star that people
have followed in this digital age, from like, you know,
his basketball infancy until getting in the League, but Ronnie
two K and Cooper Flag aka the new future Man
taking over from Wimby in this Hrry Christna phase here.
(20:40):
But it's just one of those things where in this
age where you know, the new sort of age of
viewer who have been following these guys. I mean, we've
seen Cooper flag Duck in basketballs man since he was
in middle school. So it's just one of those things
where you.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Know, Will Will, can I stop you? Are you let
me say this? Will?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You were the same one who was waving the pom
poms that Mike Tyson at sixty years old. Oh, you
gotta watch Jake Paul because they told you to watch
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. I told anybody who would listen,
Kelvin wouldn't listen, Rob g wouldn't listen. All these people.
I told you stop allowing people to dictate and tell
(21:23):
you stuff that you know when you're right in your
own eyes, that it ain't a match, it doesn't go together.
And I tried to warn people how many people were
sucking into the Mike Tyson thing that they were gonna
see something special, and they got garbage.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
This is garbage.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
This is garb so Bronnie, or if let's just say
his name was Joe john Smith, John Smith who was
picked by the Lakers, who had and will put up
twenty two a game in the GEI League. Wait, what
what they're gonna put somebody has.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
To be up there. No, they don't know, they don't.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The guy happens to be the heir of, you know,
the son of somebody famous who already has a massive following.
I don't get the issue with the marketing, Like that's
just marketing.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
One on one. They don't go together. What part don't
you understand? You don't put you know what it's like,
you know what it's like on Broadway.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
It would be like putting the star in the marquee
and the guy who's taking the tickets.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
They don't go on the same marquee. They're the You're
missing the point of it being July summer.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Rob, This isn't nobody saying let's do the top two
are the top ten players in the end are young players?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
And you said that completely would agree.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
This is a marketing to get people to watch in
Vegas where mad people are coming from La Come on, Rob,
you know that?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Well we got idea people mad people coming from LA
that's just off the top of your head.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You have no numbers.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
You have no numbers to support it. I'm just telling you,
as a reporter, you could put that out there.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
You have no numbers to support how many people coming
from LA? I didn't you have no I didn't. Everybody
knows that there are people going from La.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Rod.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That's not what I said.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I said, you have no number people from how many
people coming from La?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Stop it stop?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
A bunch of people are going for LA. I don't
even know how that of all the things. That's what
the mean we're debating. How is that debating because you
don't You don't have any numbers to some people, So
are people going from La, Rob, I'm saying to you
are people?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
You can't give me a number that I did have to.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
I say, thousand people are going to see Bronni playing
the Summer.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
League, and people would go to a game ron stopping
fifty thousand people ain't going to see Lebron and Jason Tatum.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Stop it.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Please? Mark there? No, he's getting a Brownie's. We got you,
we got you, were you were?
Speaker 9 (24:09):
Eighty percent are from l A. I was actually told
that this game is going to be a sellout. Seventeen thousand,
five hundred fans in the building.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Tell Rob that. Tell him how many people from LA again?
I couldn't hear you say that again, because.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Yeah, about eighty I think about eighty percent.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Okay, okay, okay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Don't know how I want I want to I want
I want to see the ticket stops called obvious though, I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Want to see them eighty percent.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
My foot ain't no way you don't want to, Rob.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
I didn't go by the tickets stop. I went by
the Laker jerseys.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, okay, that's the people where Laker jerseys on from
l A.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
What do you that that's a national team?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Rob, They're coming a lot of things from understand how
that's even debatable.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Robert like, come on now, now, Mark, you're there.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Rob and I were just getting into our first debate
of the show, as we do. I don't have a
problem with Bronnie being on it, just simply from a
marketing standpoint. It's July tenth and off the offbeat, you know,
off season of the league. Of course they're gonna market
Cooper Flag, the number one pick, who a lot of
people have high hope for, and Bronnie, who is lebron
James's son, who has also been through the G League.
(25:19):
This will be a second go at it. Why wouldn't they?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
But Rob says this is dud to Chris, well.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Look, I mean I know that there's a fair discussion
about Bronnie James and whether he's NBA right or not.
But if he's in the league, he's got to do
summer league because that's really the only way to get better,
you get actual rep.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
It's it's not that he shouldn't be in his summer league, Mark,
that's not it. He doesn't belong on the marquee with
Cooper Flag. They're not the same player, not the same level.
It's just it's it's the NBA in ESPN trying to
make you feel like this is something special happening, when
in reality it's not. They're not rivals, didn't play against
(25:57):
each other in college. Didn't like the Magic Michael, I
mean Magic and Bird or something special like that. This
is why can't this just be Cooper Flag's debut. He's
the new hotness, He's.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
The white chocolate.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Everybody can't wait to have someone by the way.
Speaker 9 (26:15):
Let me step it, Rob. I was gonna say, you're
on to a point, but I think it extends beyond
Bronni here. I think the NBA is really trying to
milk this whole Lakers Mavericks connection because of the Luka
Danchiks trade and Anthony Davis being on the team. I
want to be surprised. It's not just going to be
about who's on the court, but who's on the sideline.
(26:36):
I'm just going to give a prediction here. I want
to be surprised Lebron is here to see Brownie play,
but also to tap up Cooper Flag and say, hey,
you know, I'm an NBA star, embracing the next you know,
NBA rookie star, but ignores any Lakers front office luminary
because of what's going on with the team.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Hey, Mark, that's actually a great point. We know that
there is at least sports out there, and supposedly Lebron
hasn't I don't know, called or texted DeAndre Ayden if
you know any accuracy to that number one, can you know?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Let us know? And then also do you make a
big deal of it?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
You know, is is that a sign of how things
are going right now with Lebron and the Lakers?
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Well, I think it's a big deal only because when
you have a new player, a new teammate, you try
to forge some kind of connection. Doesn't mean it has
to be an in depth discussion because it is the summer,
but at least some type of greed in. I mean,
Luka Dancic already touch base. Its DeAndre and they're linked
in that draft class. They have a relationship. I think
(27:41):
it also brought back reminders when Kobe Bryant, the way
Kobe Bryant was with the Lakers during his final year,
there was an influx of different free agents I think
it was Roy Hibbert, Lou Williams, Brandon Bass and they
were all asked if Kobe had reached out to them,
and they were all. They all respond to the press
conference with an awkward and I think with that it's
(28:01):
fair to interpret that there's not a lot of enthusiasm.
But I think in this case, in Lebron's case, it's
much different because he has Luca Dancis as a teammate.
They still made the playoffs. I know that there's question
marks about where are they rank in the playoffs? Is
DeAndre at going to be a fit? But it's not
like there are lottery teams, and so I think, you
know what's disappointing is this seems to be the best
(28:25):
outcome for both parties. The Lakers keeping Lebron for the
final year. They couldn't really get much in return for
him of value given where he's at in his career,
and I think the same thing with Lebron. I don't
think that he could get traded to a better situation.
So it's just disappointing that you know that he's not
trying to make the best of the circumstance.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
You know, I'm on NBA dot com and they have
as they scroll through their pictures you go to NBA
dot com, there was no picture of Brownie and Cooper
flag together. It's a picture Cooper Flag by hisself because they're.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Not sell anything. And that's that's my point.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
If this was a real thing, why does an NBA
dot com have them paired together? Because that's not It
should be about Cooper Flag, and that's what it should
be about.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
My next question is about Okay, see, do they have
any more money left in the state.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I just they're just handing out money to everybody.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Well, uh, it's the right move to make giving extensions
to chet Holmgren and Joel Williams. Yeah, they do have money,
but we have to keep in mind these are MAX
extensions for rookie players, so it's not like the same
kind of max for a star player. The tough decisions
are going to be have to be made the next
years as far as what they do with their role players.
(29:49):
I think it's very clear that they can maintain having
Shake Gilgess, Alexander chet Holmgrin and Jael Williams as a trio,
but ken they had the kind of depth moving forward
with really good role players, and that's gonna be challenging
because they were able to do that here because they
drafted really well. They didn't have a big payroll. But
(30:09):
now the bill is gonna get higher. But for now
they don't have to worry about it because they're allowed
to do it. I think in two years is when
you know the second apron penalies would kick in.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, Yeah, they're definitely gonna have to be.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It's gonna be two chefs in the kitchen with those
two aprons without a doubt, because they're gonna have They're
gonna jump all up in that.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Uh, Mollie question is on a backless aprons, That's.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
All I want to know.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I love that because I love what's the sitting obvious there,
But I love it.

to a price fight. So I'm gonna get back to.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Wait, So robbing n b A. N b A dot

not into the mobster stuff. I've the movies. I'm not

know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I mean, I get what you're saying, But what do
you mean you didn't like The Godfather and Goodfellas and
Casino and all those.
Speaker 4 (32:33):

Speaker 3 (33:10):
And then they got it on their Twitter as well.
That's one. Don't go to NBA dot com. No more
trying to NBA dot com. There's no picture of Bronnie.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
You know why, because it's still trying to upload.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
One is one is one our journalist on NBA dot
com and fanboys are on social media.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
That's the difference. Yep, all right, let me go to
your page. I mean you post to day about ten. Yeah,
but all right, fanboys stuff on my pages. I don't
do that. All right, So, uh, we gotta get to
Shekel City.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Welcome to Shekel City, the whole base for Rob Parker's
daily dicks against the Sprat.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, I knew that. Did I knew that?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Hey? Hey, I know this stalling tactic Rob. I noticed, Wow,
Alex what they say?
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Did I knew that? Who? Did? I knew that?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
At least get one one and two Last night on
the sheckl City uh season total one seventy two and
one seventy eight and tonight three and oho, I got
the Saint Louis Cardinals minus one and a half runs,
the Guardians minus one and a half runs, and the
(34:33):
Braves against the A's in Sacramento minus one and a
half runs.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
I just ran that one back. I remember that was
my best bet last night.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
That's the one I got, right because the Braves got
beat up by the A's on Tuesday night and I
was like, Wednesday night, they'll bounce back. They did so
once again. Best bet cards minus one and a half.
Then we got the Guardians minus one and a half
and the Braves minus one and a half. And remember, Kevin,
I'm not telling you who the bet on I had
a I'm telling you now who I bet one.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
No, I do not Rob. You went one and five
with the running back. Don't run it back no more.
You said this is a you said it's an odd
couple exclusive.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I've never done this before. I know one in five
was not a good thing. I was wrong. I think
the ancestors would tell you, Rob, don't there's a reason
you ain't.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Never did it. Don't do it again. It's all right,
you're gonna bounce back today. That's the thing. Despite me
wanting to put you in a head locker take that,
I still root for you.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
You got this, okay, three and note tonight. I believe
in you. All right. It's now time for your tire
reck Player of the Day.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
One swung on hatchet well deep right field, clean the
pass a grand slam, Heroldo Perdomo.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Hurah though Perdomo right there, Diamondbacks Radio got the grand Slam.
That's your tire reck Player of the day, and for
over forty years, Tirereck has been helping customers find the
night of the right tires for how, what and where
they drive ship fast and free back by free road
haz her protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire Insallation,
tire rack dot Com. It is the way tire buying
(36:06):
should be. So go check that out, all right, what's
up with this?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Some rich folks having some big houses that end up
being what they call the white elephants just sitting there
and now they gotta go to Airbnb tel tell us
a little bit more about this.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Uh, rog, Yeah, that's right, that Michael Jordan luxurious mansion
he's got just outside of Chicago in Highland Park nine.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
I'm real white elephant. I'm just saying, Oh.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Gosh, you're the wrong person to make that joke. Rob
nine bedroom, nineteen bathroom.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
He had it listed, I believe, at one point for
thirteen years on the market because he couldn't sell it.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Now he finally what twenty wasn't it twenty nine million? Yes?
Speaker 6 (36:45):
And ultimately the guy who bought it bought it for
nine and a half million. Uh. He recently listed it
himself for fifteen thinking to make a sale. Nobody's buying it,
and now he's turning in to do a massive Airbnb.
It's just all all bad news. If you got a
big house right now Chicago.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
Which is one thing I don't understand is this, like
like people make this mistake thinking that somebody else will
come along and automatically buy it or whatever.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
And a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Is custom made stuff that you want and people don't
understand or I don't know why rich people don't get this.
If I had twenty nine million dollars to buy your house,
I could build my own house the way I want it,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
So why would I buy your existing home.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I can buy all new, you know, pay twenty million,
but it'll be what the way I want it, not
the way you wanted it.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, No, you brought up a great point there.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Plus also too, when you when you look at things
that are that excessive, like nineteen bathrooms, oftentimes when people
forget this, it's the main that's Robbie. How many times
we have conversations rob too and our text chat groups
about like, oh man, I gotta have some plumbing stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
I got plumbers coming to the house. I got this,
I got.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
That nineteen bathrooms is nineteen headaches, and you know it's
sounds good, like, oh man, if I was fifteen I
had a dream house, I'd have nineteen bathrooms and I
would Yeah, once you become a reality, like that's a headache,
that's a problem. That's a plumbing issue, which translates to
water damage, which translates to mold, and that's just insane. Plus,
the only way you could really get away with that
(38:16):
is if it's in like Malibu maybe where people you
have the access to Hollywood stars who maybe would do that.
Hyde Park and Illinois is not the market for a
twenty nine million dollar house. That ain't the market for that, man,
So somebody keeps taking l's with that house. But that
would be a cool Airbnb. I'll want to do it.
I got half on it.
