Speaker 1 (06:09):
By the way, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
All right, Uh, we got a good show to joke,
so we got a lot of stuff to get to.
Rob g We did hear from one mister Patrick Mahomes,
the quarterback of the depressing and downward spiral of Kansas
City Chiefs.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
We did I'm not gonna do the impersonation. But Patrick Mahomes,
it didn't sound like Kermit. It's not even a it's
not even.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
A everybody says that I do. I don't think I do.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
He had an exclusive sit down with FanDuel TV's Up
and Adam with Ky Adams earlier on Monday morning and
dropped everybody and yeah, exactly and during.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
The conversation, stop it, let Rob talk.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
See during I can still hear you in the conversation,
Kay asked him, Hey, you guys come off a disappointing
finished the last year, you get blown out of the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
What is going to be the keys to you guys
getting back? You couldn't use those words this next season here?
Do you have a boo boo in the Super Bowl?
Are you guys gonna be all right?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
What is one specific key to success for your Chiefs
this year.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I think it's just us having fun again. I mean,
I mean, it's It's always been fun playing on the
Kansas City Chiefs and that's what makes it special. And
I feel like last year, I don't want to say
it was pressure, but guys wanted to go out there
and win every single week, and not for the fun
of the game, just because we're supposed to. Let's go
out there and have fun. I mean, the wins will
come if we play the way that we're We know
we can play. We have the talent that we have,
the coaches, we work harder than anybody in the NFL.
(07:37):
So let's go out there and have fun and let
the results handle themselves.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Sounds nice, But I got news for Patrick Mahomes and
all the Chiefs fans.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
What's that.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Patrick isn't fun anymore. The style of quarterback that he
was when he burst onto the scene, throwing the ball
all over the yard and making these plays and all that,
I haven't seen that for a few years now. Let's
be honest, Kelvin, we haven't dnking dunk dinking dunk dinking,
(08:08):
dunk dinking dumk that's Patrick.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Mahomes's new song. My old radio partner, you know him,
Chris Bussard. I do, yes, you don't like it. Chris
Bussar went out here, stuck his chest out.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
This was after a dye job, and he came up and.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I catch it straight at home right now studying scriptures.
God don't like ugly with his men. I'm going back in.
I know, yes, I am going back in. I'm like
Chris came out, you know, was like, hey, Jordan esk.
He Jordan Esk right. I don't think he's saying that anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
But I'm just gonna say this to Chris and all
the other Patrick Mahomes people out there.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're right, he is Jordan esque.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Only problem is he's the Washington Wizards, Michael Jordan's.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He's that guy.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Now, come on, man, every you know why it wasn't
fun cause you shouldn't have won half the games you
won cause you got lucky or something with your way
or the official call to got you a call. That's
why it wasn't fun. There were no blowouts, there were
no like when you were like, oh man, they don't
want it tonight. Look at that they're putting a whooping
(09:28):
on on some team like that. That just isn't what
the Kansas City Chiefs have amounted to of late. You
could go ahead and hell, it's just about wins or
losses and all that stuff. We got accustomed to watching
this guy at the highest level and he ain't playing
like that.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We talked about it before.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
If you want to say Aaron Rodgers was stinky last
year with the Jets, say it, but he had the
same status as Patrick Mahomes. Those are facts, those aren't feelings.
So if Aaron Rodgers was awful, so was Patrick Mahomes.
If you're saying Patrick was fine and great and they
won fifteen games and it doesn't matter about the stats,
that's what Aaron Rodgers did. The same exact thing. So
(10:12):
if he's Michael Jordan, yes, not in the Bulls days
when they were winning the six championships, but the Washington
Woodsard's day would they didn't even make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I'm itching.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I'm almost ready to say that they're not even going
to make the playoffs this year.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm close, not yet, but I'm close. Size ten. I
was ready. I was ready. I'll take that, sir, take
that for data. I'll take that bet all right, take
that for data. First off, First off, pump your breaks
a little bit. Okay, I'm talking pumpy, maybe not full
anti lock, but pump your breaks because Jordan's just like
(10:51):
the kid did on your car. Those are the breaks.
Why would you bring it up? I almost dived on
you right then and there. I saw rady soon too soon. Now,
Michael Jordan comparisons I'm okay with, but I think you
went too far with the Wizards. I will give you
the last bit of Jordan where Jordan no longer was
sticking the tongue, got flying through the air. Jordan was
mid ranging you to death. Jordan was getting the shot
(11:14):
I need up faking you to death. Kobe Bryant still
can get a bucket, but it ain't as dynamic. Not
Afro number eight. Kobe Bryant mid ranging you, footworking you
and finding ways to win. Sometimes it's dumping it down
the pile. Sometimes it was getting, you know, getting into
pipping and moving the ball, Steve currying. The three point
being it can always look like that, it can't always
be dynamic at times. So yes, they absolutely hadn't been
(11:37):
as exciting as fun to watch the last couple of
seasons without a doubt one thing. I'll cut them some slack.
They did have some injuries to the receiver corps, which
and running backs, which was key because obviously that's what
you need, you need offensive weapons. So they were out
without them for quite some time. But rob we've seen
this before were the Patriots with Tom Brady had become
(12:01):
kind of dink and dunk, dank and dunk, and then
Tom Brady went to the Bucks and all of a
sudden he became explosive again, throwing up bunch of receivers
and throwing it drunk again. And so my point is
this can change as they get guys back healthy, as
they realize we need a new offensive scheme, we needed
to mix some things up, and I believe they have
that opportunity to do that. But part of why we've
(12:22):
seen not the most fun version of them is because
they're getting the best of everybody. Every night. Every night
somebody goes.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So they weren't doing that in the first four years.
People that know that they were great and weren't getting
their best.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I'm glad you asked a couple of things. Number One,
you had Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill is most one of
the most if not the most explosive receivers as far
as explosion without a doubt, you had at that point
six seven years ago, a younger Kelsey. So things have
changed and now they've had to readjust. And while you're
in the middle of readjusting, the goal is to win.
(12:56):
Right when you're younger, it can look pretty and get wins.
When you you're just trying to survive, you're just trying
to get a win. So now they know Travis Kelce
is no longer going to be Travis Kelce of oot,
he might be a little better. He's lost a little
way apparently Patrick mahomes and got a haircut. I hope
it ain't Sampson. I hope that'll mess him up. But
you realize we gotta change things up, and a part
of that is just win, baby, win. And they were
(13:17):
able to do that to the two to fifteen, the
two into the tune of a super Bowl. But I'm
not going to go as far as to call him.
I get what you're saying. The Wizards version. I think
it's the latter portion of Jordan where we just got
to find a way to get this dubbed. Let me
give you this, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The last two seasons, Mahomes numbers, oh I know him,
have fallen off the cliff.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
On average, he's down seven hundred yards and twelve touchdowns
a year, seven hundred yards and twelve touchdowns from his
heyday yep, when he was.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Lighting the league on fire.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And his interceptions are up by three per year like,
so this is a different Patrick Mahomes. I'm not fudging
the numbers. I'm not hating. These are facts. Go look
them up for yourself. Let me throw out the number
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox on This Magic
City Monday, eight seven seven nine to nine to six
(14:11):
sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
And it's simple.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Is Mahomes the problem when you talk about the Chiefs
and their offense? And has he lost his mojo? I
say mojo? I say the problem, mojo, He's lost his mojo.
We'll do that and much more. It is The Odd Couple.
Fox Sports Radio, stick and stay unless you're trying to
have fun again.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
In the US of AA, be sure to catch live
editions of The Odd Couple with Rob Parker and kelvin
Washington weekdays at seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific, on

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Hey what's up everybody?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
on Game?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
What is Up on Game?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You asked, along with my fellow pro bowler Hutchman, Zada
and Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds. You
can only name a show with that type of talent
on it. Up on Game We're going to be sharing
our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to
Up on Game with me Lebar Arrington, TJ. Huschman, Zada,
(15:19):
and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts from.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Hey, Rob, we definitely got to send a lot of love.
There are folks out in the Texas area listening. Man.
All the flooding that went on this weekend and even
a little bit rained today. My goodness, man, so so
many people have been lost. Yeah, lives lost, and the
last I checked it was at eighty plus and they
had about forty something folks that were missing. Still ten
(15:51):
were from a Little Girl's summer camp. So yeah, wishing
everybody the best. I'lls some prayers everybody out there in
that area of Texas that was hit really hard. It's
the odd couple Rob Parker kelvin Washington on the Magic
City Monday and aching knees, stiff back joints not cooperating.
That was me until earlier day. By the way, some
days your body's just like, nah, this ain't it.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Wait till I tell you what happened up to me
this past weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
The top of the eight hour, all right, look to
one of those two man, we just Alex. That's just
the theme of the show this hour. I'll just luckily
my neck, head, my back. When you're going through that,
you need to leave with just one pill of lead
provides up to twelve hours of paying relief so you
can keep moving. Use as directed Pat Mahomes and the
basically saying, we just gotta have fun again. We got
(16:38):
to get back to having fun. Too much tight there's
been too much pressure, too much tightness, and they want
to get back to having fun, to get back to
their winning ways, even though they're fifteen to two. Went
to the super Bowl, which is crazy, uh, taking some
phone calls on it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Who we got Tony in DC. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What's up, Tony?
Speaker 9 (16:56):
What's up? Fellas? Hope you guys enjoying your summer there?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Oh yeah, absolutely you are too.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
The thing with Patrick Mahomes I find interesting is since
you know, he's played a lot of football during his career,
you know, considering the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And all that.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
And I think the big blow to Kansas City was
when they got rid of Tyreek Hill and that you
can't get rid of a top five receiver. That that explosive.
He's a home run every time you take the field,
and it's gonna change the philosophy.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
But Tony, they got away. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Hang on, they got away with it because you remember
they won the Super Bowl next year, so I'll see you.
He don't need he don't need that guy, and and
that's not the case.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
But I think that in the long run you're seeing
the effects of that. Everybody else is a little less effective.
And I think that he's turned into Tom Praying two
point zero with the short passing game, the more Leno Pacheco,
even though Pacheco broke his leg last year. So I
think the day of him the win for four hundred
five hund of yard games might be a little bit
(18:04):
behind them. Plus he's thirty years old and he played
a lot of football. But I think that the one
thing with these Chiefs is last year they had the
pressure to repeat on them. Nobody really talked about that either,
but I think they were mentally exhausted. Probably, Yeah, talked
about that.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Tony. He talked about this in the interview. He said
they put a little bit of those pressure on themselves.
And guys, that's what it's called. That's what greatness is.
You know what you expect to win every night? Michael
Jordan did it twice? Okay, you just expect to win,
all right, and you go out there.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I'm just saying, like, you can't have it both ways, Like, yes,
we're trying to we're trying to do something very special.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yep. And Tony appreciate the call. And that to me,
Rob and I was, you know, Robin, Rob g and
I were talking about and I said, they're victims of
their own success. Whereas you can't lose now right, you
gotta win a bunch of games every game. Other teams
have been able to do it, is my point. But
I think everybody becomes kind of the tight victim. Everybody
doesn't like us. The Warriors were so fun that everyone hey.
And then the Patriots, why they're doing so okay? Now
(19:01):
everybody hates him. And that happens where every game matters.
You become everybody's Super Bowl or NBA Finals if it's basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I just I'm not going to give them an out.
I just don't think they played well. And there were
games they just didn't play that well. And when I
looked at them, and that's.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
The way, he didn't play that well either.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, I said that all year, didn't I say that
all year? They're not winning the Super Bowl? This team
will not win a Super Bowl? And I kept saying
it over despite they kept winning games, and I said, dude,
just look at this.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
This is not I'm not giving you that though I did.
Why why? Because they made it to the g Did
I not say they would never win the Super Bowl?
But you did? They were fifteen into it, made it
to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I said, I don't care what they do during the
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Thirty one ain't gonna win it. So I like, you know,
I said it.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Right, I said, I said, I said two teams won't
win the Super Bowl, one won't get.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
There, and one one we went to this season? Rob G?
Who is that?
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Those two teams that would be the Detroit Lions and
the Kansaty Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Boy, he picked two fifteen and two teams, didn't he?
And I got it right team and I got to
get it wrong every week. No, I went wrong every week.
I got it. I got it right when it mattered.
You don't want to cry yourself to sleep, Kno, no, no, no,
tell you the forty nine ers one not the one.
This one's this one was bad. But it is sin
sting you Are you kidding you?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, no, no, absolutely stung me about it, Alex.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
They have a fifteen to two record, they were playing
a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
They were nine and out, rob G.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
How many teams were nine and a half point favorites
in the playoff game?
Speaker 10 (20:32):
Seriously? This past year two maybe, rob G? Rob G, No,
you in this conversation. You are you get in this conversation.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You are up seventeen getting ready to go to the
super Bowl. Yeah, or we lose and we had a
bunch of defenders out and we didn't look great and
Jaydon Daniels. We realized it's a really good quarterback.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Now, I'll tell you what. The Niners one probably hurt
more even as an objective.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Entire city of Detroit had booked their flights to Vacon.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
They had that game. They had it right there in
the palm of their hand.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, he gave it away, no doubt. And that's when
spirit stock went through the roof. Did No, it did
mancause Detroit. Heyron ain't wrong on that. He ain't wrong
on that one. They got a hub and they got
a big time. You know, I won't say it's a hug.
Is it a hub? No, it's not just but they
just a lot of people fly out to fly out
out of Detroit and to Vegas. Are you kidding? Oh yeah,
(21:27):
thirty nine done that flight a million from Vegas to Detroit.
When we first moved here and times was a little different,
we was all, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't have that
champagne status like you. I get apple cider. I don't
get the champagne pain that's on spirit all right, do
you feel the spirit? That's right on the way. We
got to discuss something else. Oh, y'all trying to sell
me on something in the NBA. I wasn't buying it.
(21:49):
Now I have some more proof of while it'm bid.
I'll tell you that in a minute. Right now, I
lo's gonna get you settle with trending.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
Man, what's trending? Sixty one dollars from Vegas to Detroit

my meal at at Mendocino Farms or something like that.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
He's twenty four dollars and thirty cents for a flight
from Houston to New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
You gotta go just for no reason. I've got rate.
I'm going to have lunch at that rate. How's this
for a segue?
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Paolo ben carry the Orlando Magic can afford to buy
eleven million, eight hundred and ten thousand, six hundred and
ninety nine flights between Houston and New Orleans. Because the
ESPN report a man Karo's agreed to a five year
maximum rookie contract extension with up to two hundred and
(23:06):
eighty seven million dollars. Kyle Lowry's reportedly agreed to a
one year deal to return to the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
The Knicks official announced the hiring of Mike Brown as
their new head coach. Fourth round at Wimbledon today, nineteen
seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria goes up two sets to
nine over one seed Yonick Center, but then on the
third set, Dmitrov sustained a right pectoral injury. Here's how
(23:31):
it sounded on Radio Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
How can he swing that on? It really seems very
unlikely that he will. I know he's having to retire.
Speaker 12 (23:38):
He's come back on the courts Dwater Shane, that is,
he's played so well. He's actually in tears coming back.
But your heart goes out to Grigo Timtrov. He was
leading by two sets to love two in the third set.
He's getting a heroic evation so much sympathy for him,
but yet again his body lets him down in a
(24:00):
Grand sign That's the fifth one in a row that
he's had to retire.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Hurt.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You're that right.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
It was the fifth straight Grand Slam that Dimitrov had
to retire from due to injury. Leading to us he
was ranked nineteenth, but I mean, nobody had ever heard
of the guy before today. He's going up against the
number one seed at Wimbledon, and unfortunately insult got added
to injury because after this all happened, Dimitrov was ripped
(24:30):
on British sports talk radio BBC Radio five Live by
Sir Robinson Parker, which I felt was unfortunate. Meanwhile, earlier
American and Jackson Mahomes looked like Ben Shelton advanced to
the quarterfinals with a four set win. In Major League
Baseball right now, the Tigers up two to one over
the Tampa Bay Rays after three thanks to a two
(24:51):
run home run by Javier Bias, his tenth home run
of the season.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Guys, back to you, Sir Robinson Parker is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Thank you if you got that, and I'm guessing it's
the top rated show in Britain.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 11 (25:05):
It's all the rage on BBC five Live, Pip, that.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Would be the station I would be on. A ye,
is it that the biggest station there in Britain? Is
that not the biggest station.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
It's like the only station there. But they have like
ninety three different channels, so five Live is their sports.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You would be on the biggest station to BBC. What what?
What's the moment you got?
Speaker 11 (25:36):
You'd have some hot cricket takes? Let me tell you
what you go.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Ahead, come? What is wrong with you? You are You're
I'm crying like leg crying right now. Yo. That was
you ain't gonna make it? You ain't gonna make it? Yo.
Oh man, you might literally have to come up to
London and be bb Oh yeah, I lo my brand.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
My brain was a delay and I didn't realize who
I was talking.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
That wasn't even a delay.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I lo.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
You did?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
You didn't get it to the next day? All right? Uh?
Oh wow? How do I transition? So in the NBA,
a lot of people we have a Sean Phillips on,
we had Eddie House on and they all were discussing
rob how they think the Mavericks not only will have
a go okay to have a good team that would
they'll be in the Western Conference finals and maybe even
(26:33):
the finals. Uh, And I said, hold on, who whoa,
whoa the Mavericks. I like them on paper, they got
some they got some good pieces. But Kyrie Irving further
my reason why I was apprehensive about that. Here's what
Kyrie had to say.
Speaker 13 (26:45):
Will you be back by playoffs? Don't hold your breath
on that, You know what I'm saying. It doesn't mean
that I won't be back, it's just don't I don't
want to make any predictions on when I'm gonna be back.
I just want to be back one hundred and fifty
thousand percent better. So I'm taking my time right now
to really get healthy. I'm taking my time to really
get my body right, other parts of portions of my
(27:05):
body right, and and really just enjoy this.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Uh this recovery process. Man, it's it's it's not pretty. Yes,
it is a beautiful struggle.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
But I go through kind of the mental roller coaster
ride of every you know, every day just want to
be back out there.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So this is why I'm confused on the hyper not
that they will be solid and maybe make the playoffs,
I'm cool with that. But the idea that they're going
to represent the Western Conference in the West Comes Finals
and make the finals, and because everyone's banking home in
and they show the graphics Rob the starting lineup for
the MAVs, how you keep putting Kyrie Irving in his
starting lineup. He's not gonna be playing to minimally January February,
(27:40):
maybe not until March April, and so the peop will
keep oh Man Kyrie a d bluff. Kyrie is not
going to play for a very long time, Anthony Davis,
You're asking a lot for him to be healthy. By
the time Kyrie does come back, Cooper Flag will be
a rookie, Klay Thompson has passed his time, and the
rest of the guys are I'm I'm not necessarily sold.
(28:01):
I get individually. Collectively, again, I think they got some
nice pieces. If you told me this was their lineup
healthy starting tip off Game one, I'd be with you.
They'd have a really good team and we'll see. But
Kyriy's going to be out a very long time, Rob,
and he might be out the entire season. And didn't
say that. That's not what he said. What he said
he said. He didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
He said, I just don't want to make a prediction.
He didn't say, don't hold your breath, there's nowhere I'll
be back this year. He just said, I don't want
to predict when. I want to be healthy. I want
to come back. He should be back during the season,
like if he's the normal, it's the normal, Uh, you
know time and all that. Nor I'm just saying the
normal time. I don't disagree with that. You know, January
(28:43):
February is normal. That's not playoff time. He's supposed to
be back. That's why they're counting on him. January February
gives you plenty of time to get before when did
the playoffs start? April, so you know what I mean?
And April, so there's plenty of time. Even if he
comes back February early March, he too has a good
month and a half to get worked out, or a
month and three weeks, you know what I mean. And
(29:05):
then so should they count on Kyrie? Yes, unless there's
a hiccup or something goes wrong or or you know,
something happens. But it's not far fetched to think that
when the season ends in April.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That Kyrie would be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And I'm not saying I'm not picking them, but it's
like anything in the NBA, Well, we don't know. Is
somebody else from another team heard, you know what I mean?
Do they play the Plakers in the first round and
Lebron's not good or Lebron's heard or or whatever it is,
or somebody's down, you know what I mean. And a
couple of years ago they got to the finals with
Kyrie and Luca.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Of course that was a surprise, but they got there.
They had obviously a year or whatever, younger and better,
you know, better situation, Lucas says. But you hear to
say that they can't get there regardless of what I'm saying.
I don't understand why people are looking at this when
they're not getting their starting point guard, who arguably is
there because that's second best player on the team. Until
(30:05):
that's crazy on Anthony Davis for the charge. Not that
Ad won't put up numbers and ball when he's out there.
He's one of the best in the league when he's
out there, two way player, emphasis on out there, and
Kyrie ain't out there. I'm hoping Ad out there. I
got a young Cooper Flag who has the finest way
(30:25):
in the league, and Klay Thompson was on leaning and
then the rest. You know, I like the bigs, they
got Gafford and Lively, but I'm just like, all right,
y'all got a lot riding on the team that their
main guy the engine as far as what will go.
Kyrie's out, and then we got to hope Ad and
both Kyrie are healthy at the same time, because they
have no shot without those guys.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I mean, I hear you, and you can sit here
and we could guess the mate and try to figure
it out, and you could you know, that's.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
What we do Rob here on the BBC radio. You
could stick.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Your uh, you know, your Anthony Davis voodoo doll and
make sure that he's heard come playoff time, because I
just can't because history, because A d won a championship
and that was the time they had three months off
and he was healthy and he played and he was
big for them.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Without them, they don't win that show. So you're telling
me we're going through COVID again.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
All I'm saying is that if he's healthy, and there's
a big if, we got that. But when you look
at the team on paper, and if everybody's on the team,
and if and if.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Cooper Flag is Larry Bird. I know, I'm just saying
I'm not there. You know I'm not thereunderstand how Larry
Bird was?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
You know I was distraught over it. I just thought
it was ridiculous to just throw around Larry Bird's name
just because he's a white guy, a white basketball play.
Oh yeah, he's gonna be Larry Bird. No, that's not
How about Tom Chambers? How about Christian Lady? I really
love that comparison, But he was a good player, Tom Champers,
very good day, really good player.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Even Andre carolinco I'm not mad at I think he
can have potential a little bit more offense than AK
forty seven. But AK forty seven was nice for about
a five six years. He was really nice. Why did you.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Also pick a light skin player to compare.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Him to well, Polo ban Carol I started.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
You didn't say Polo.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
On the day? Did we said Ceiling could be Jason Tate?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Oh, with the light skin, big big, a dark player.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
First of all, that's not kind of right. What you
mean dark? What you mean by dark? Doc? What do
you mean you say, this is getting crazy. You started
when how we love each other? Is this how we
love each other with an insult and just going at
each other.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Everything was fine, so you brought up the pinnata at
the top of the show.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
That's right. Everything else was fine. So other things happened too.
Nothing happened. I wasn't evenalking about I was talking about
my cargain scratched. What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (32:48):
OK?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Because I just got DJ infamous on Twitter in tears
while in publics He says, in tears.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I wonder why he was in tears rap, I wonder
what he.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Was Jesus and tears because your car got scratching, huge boner, Alex,
what do you do?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We could have just talking about all right? Well, shecho city.
You know what, Rob G.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
When I come in the mall, I'll have a print
out a resignation without a date on it, and I'll
just hold on to it, you know what.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
And we're gonna have that box that you always see
in sitcoms when somebody gets fired to get the box.
We'll have the box ready for yous box and then
Sam's gonna throw it out. It's been here too long.

How you do all right? From Friday two and one? Okay,
all right, okay, all right, I'll give you that. Let's
go for the night. Here we go, Let's see what
we got.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I'm taking the Cleveland plus they've lost ten in a row.
I'm taking them plus one and a half against the Astros,
who just swept the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So these are just odds, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
They just swept down exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
There's no way Cleveland's gonna lose eleven in a row,
are they? The Nationals was trying do that too.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
No, I'm gonna take Cleveland and that's my best bet. Also,
I have the Rangers minus one and a half. They're
taking on the Angels in Anaheim. And last I'm gonna
take the Padres plus one and a half they are
hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks. So we got the Padres plus
(35:26):
one and a half, Rangers minus one and a half,
and the Guardians plus one and a half to break
that ten game losing street on the road against the
red hot scorching Shuston as go ahead. Remember Kevin, I'm
not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling you
(35:48):
who I bet on.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Eighteen to one. They smacked the Dodgers up. Yeah that
was that was big. Yeah, worst beat down at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I know people there were like the one game that
you know, I go to one game of a year, Like,
what's the game I came to, came to this watch
my team get demolished getting away.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
There't no way people stayed for that. I couldn't have stayed. Well,
sometimes it's so bad it almost becomes laughable. Let's just
see how bad this can get. I'm getting in my car.
Let me get out of here, man, all right, and
its signing out for your tire. Rec Player of the
day set piece here for Mexico. Alo out of the
fake now it's hooked it.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
It takes the flicking of tens and Alvarez the flag
comes up for offside. Mexico has had multiple goals ruled
out for offside at this tournament.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
And he's having a look at this right now.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
Again, we're not looking for clear and obvious here as
he would an MLS.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
What is looking for the right decision. And it is
a good goal. It is a Mexico goal.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
It is at sint Alvarez, who's giving Mexico the lead
with twelve minutes to play.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, I was watching that game right there, man. It
was Fox, Yeah, Fox Television. I was watching that game,
sitting there, watching that Rogerie. They got me all in.
I ain't gonna lie, you know. It was tough.
Speaker 7 (36:56):
I was watching at home with the missus, and you
call me a fake Mexican for reading for USA.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
She's no, there's a great conversation to be had there.
There's a great conversation where we're not gonna have you
on my side. There's a great conversation we had because
if you had a brother, I.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
Can't say something like, oh so if USA is playing Keny,
y'all got who for Kenya?
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Like racist? Here's the thing though, from So that's where
it gets from. Continent, but we don't know exactly where
we're from, just somewhere. That's where you guys get covered.
So you don't have to worry about this kind of
because that's where it gets tricky. Robger. You could argue, well,
people like Okay, I'm going for America. But then like
if it's a brother brother on another team, you're like, oh,
(37:42):
got one other brother? It gets complicated. That's what your
wife was saying right there.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
She called me a fake Mexican.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
See what I mean. That's a complicated conversation. Now we're
not gonna have it right now. Tirereck Player of the

the way tire bidings should be rop How do you
almost tear your aco?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
So I'm at Dodger Stadium on Sunday and I'm sitting
in the dugout totally oblivious as to what's going on.
I just did some interviews. I'm sitting there and I
don't know. I've been covering baseball for thirty nine years. Okay,
so I have avoided for thirty nine years ever being
hit by the baseball.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Okay. I'm sitting there where the opening.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Of the dugout where the players go to go on
the field, and I'm sitting there and out of nowhere,
I don't see the ball at all. I mean literally
what A ball hits me squarely on my knee. Oh,
I'm just sitting there, like if that ball hit me
in my face just out, my teeth would have been
(38:54):
broken out.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Whatever. So apparently.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
A currently the infielder throwing the ball to the first
basement overthrew the first basement and it came into the dugout. Now,
I thought Steve Sachs had retired, but apparently not, because
you remember, he couldn't throw the ball at the first.
Speaker 14 (39:16):
Thank you keep going because I'm about to get at
you so unbelievably though, Alex, this is because I'm in
good shape now and.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Everything all right, Yeah, yeah you are.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
No swelling, no bruise, and rob g I showed you
my knee right, no bruising, no swelling, and no real pain.
So the idea that I was going to suit the
Dodgers for a lawsuit just didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
It could have worked.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I just I was like, I thought about it. They
came over to me, They're like, are you all right?
And I was about to say I need I need
an ambulance.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
The issue would have been they'd be like, yeah, on
the back of your credentials. If anything happens to you
while you're here, that's on you. Uh, rob Here, I
am thinking Freddie Freeman and hit a VP and it
hit on line drive. You tell me somebody overthrew first base, Yes, Robgie,
I'm thinking somebody that. I'm thinking Max Munsey then blasted
one towards the dugout and overthrown ball. It hit me
(40:18):
on my knees, rarely on my knee, Alex. I was like,
I looked up.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I was like, and the first thing I thought about
was that could hit me straight in the face, like
like I wasn't paying attention like that, I thought my
teeth would have been not I'm.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Thinking show hal Toddy then blasted one to are you
kidding me right now? Somebody? Man, I can't believe we
just he's double with you.

had a six month, six month break or six weeks whatever.
You're good, robb G.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Shouldn't be I'm off next Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
By the way, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
All right, Uh, we got a good show to joke,
so we got a lot of stuff to get to.
Rob g We did hear from one mister Patrick Mahomes,
the quarterback of the depressing and downward spiral of Kansas
City Chiefs.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
We did I'm not gonna do the impersonation. But Patrick Mahomes,
it didn't sound like Kermit. It's not even a it's
not even.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
A everybody says that I do. I don't think I do.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
He had an exclusive sit down with FanDuel TV's Up
and Adam with Ky Adams earlier on Monday morning and
dropped everybody and yeah, exactly and during.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
The conversation, stop it, let Rob talk.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
See during I can still hear you in the conversation,
Kay asked him, Hey, you guys come off a disappointing
finished the last year, you get blown out of the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
What is going to be the keys to you guys
getting back? You couldn't use those words this next season here?
Do you have a boo boo in the Super Bowl?
Are you guys gonna be all right?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
What is one specific key to success for your Chiefs
this year.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I think it's just us having fun again. I mean,
I mean, it's It's always been fun playing on the
Kansas City Chiefs and that's what makes it special. And
I feel like last year, I don't want to say
it was pressure, but guys wanted to go out there
and win every single week, and not for the fun
of the game, just because we're supposed to. Let's go
out there and have fun. I mean, the wins will
come if we play the way that we're We know
we can play. We have the talent that we have,
the coaches, we work harder than anybody in the NFL.
(07:37):
So let's go out there and have fun and let
the results handle themselves.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Sounds nice, But I got news for Patrick Mahomes and
all the Chiefs fans.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
What's that.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Patrick isn't fun anymore. The style of quarterback that he
was when he burst onto the scene, throwing the ball
all over the yard and making these plays and all that,
I haven't seen that for a few years now. Let's
be honest, Kelvin, we haven't dnking dunk dinking dunk dinking,
(08:08):
dunk dinking dumk that's Patrick.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Mahomes's new song. My old radio partner, you know him,
Chris Bussard. I do, yes, you don't like it. Chris
Bussar went out here, stuck his chest out.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
This was after a dye job, and he came up and.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I catch it straight at home right now studying scriptures.
God don't like ugly with his men. I'm going back in.
I know, yes, I am going back in. I'm like
Chris came out, you know, was like, hey, Jordan esk.
He Jordan Esk right. I don't think he's saying that anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
But I'm just gonna say this to Chris and all
the other Patrick Mahomes people out there.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're right, he is Jordan esque.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Only problem is he's the Washington Wizards, Michael Jordan's.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He's that guy.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Now, come on, man, every you know why it wasn't
fun cause you shouldn't have won half the games you
won cause you got lucky or something with your way
or the official call to got you a call. That's
why it wasn't fun. There were no blowouts, there were
no like when you were like, oh man, they don't
want it tonight. Look at that they're putting a whooping
(09:28):
on on some team like that. That just isn't what
the Kansas City Chiefs have amounted to of late. You
could go ahead and hell, it's just about wins or
losses and all that stuff. We got accustomed to watching
this guy at the highest level and he ain't playing
like that.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We talked about it before.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
If you want to say Aaron Rodgers was stinky last
year with the Jets, say it, but he had the
same status as Patrick Mahomes. Those are facts, those aren't feelings.
So if Aaron Rodgers was awful, so was Patrick Mahomes.
If you're saying Patrick was fine and great and they
won fifteen games and it doesn't matter about the stats,
that's what Aaron Rodgers did. The same exact thing. So
(10:12):
if he's Michael Jordan, yes, not in the Bulls days
when they were winning the six championships, but the Washington
Woodsard's day would they didn't even make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I'm itching.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I'm almost ready to say that they're not even going
to make the playoffs this year.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm close, not yet, but I'm close. Size ten. I
was ready. I was ready. I'll take that, sir, take
that for data. I'll take that bet all right, take
that for data. First off, First off, pump your breaks
a little bit. Okay, I'm talking pumpy, maybe not full
anti lock, but pump your breaks because Jordan's just like
(10:51):
the kid did on your car. Those are the breaks.
Why would you bring it up? I almost dived on
you right then and there. I saw rady soon too soon. Now,
Michael Jordan comparisons I'm okay with, but I think you
went too far with the Wizards. I will give you
the last bit of Jordan where Jordan no longer was
sticking the tongue, got flying through the air. Jordan was
mid ranging you to death. Jordan was getting the shot
(11:14):
I need up faking you to death. Kobe Bryant still
can get a bucket, but it ain't as dynamic. Not
Afro number eight. Kobe Bryant mid ranging you, footworking you
and finding ways to win. Sometimes it's dumping it down
the pile. Sometimes it was getting, you know, getting into
pipping and moving the ball, Steve currying. The three point
being it can always look like that, it can't always
be dynamic at times. So yes, they absolutely hadn't been
(11:37):
as exciting as fun to watch the last couple of
seasons without a doubt one thing. I'll cut them some slack.
They did have some injuries to the receiver corps, which
and running backs, which was key because obviously that's what
you need, you need offensive weapons. So they were out
without them for quite some time. But rob we've seen
this before were the Patriots with Tom Brady had become
(12:01):
kind of dink and dunk, dank and dunk, and then
Tom Brady went to the Bucks and all of a
sudden he became explosive again, throwing up bunch of receivers
and throwing it drunk again. And so my point is
this can change as they get guys back healthy, as
they realize we need a new offensive scheme, we needed
to mix some things up, and I believe they have
that opportunity to do that. But part of why we've
(12:22):
seen not the most fun version of them is because
they're getting the best of everybody. Every night. Every night
somebody goes.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So they weren't doing that in the first four years.
People that know that they were great and weren't getting
their best.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I'm glad you asked a couple of things. Number One,
you had Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill is most one of
the most if not the most explosive receivers as far
as explosion without a doubt, you had at that point
six seven years ago, a younger Kelsey. So things have
changed and now they've had to readjust. And while you're
in the middle of readjusting, the goal is to win.
(12:56):
Right when you're younger, it can look pretty and get wins.
When you you're just trying to survive, you're just trying
to get a win. So now they know Travis Kelce
is no longer going to be Travis Kelce of oot,
he might be a little better. He's lost a little
way apparently Patrick mahomes and got a haircut. I hope
it ain't Sampson. I hope that'll mess him up. But
you realize we gotta change things up, and a part
of that is just win, baby, win. And they were
(13:17):
able to do that to the two to fifteen, the
two into the tune of a super Bowl. But I'm
not going to go as far as to call him.
I get what you're saying. The Wizards version. I think
it's the latter portion of Jordan where we just got
to find a way to get this dubbed. Let me
give you this, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The last two seasons, Mahomes numbers, oh I know him,
have fallen off the cliff.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
On average, he's down seven hundred yards and twelve touchdowns
a year, seven hundred yards and twelve touchdowns from his
heyday yep, when he was.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Lighting the league on fire.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And his interceptions are up by three per year like,
so this is a different Patrick Mahomes. I'm not fudging
the numbers. I'm not hating. These are facts. Go look
them up for yourself. Let me throw out the number
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox on This Magic
City Monday, eight seven seven nine to nine to six
(14:11):
sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
And it's simple.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Is Mahomes the problem when you talk about the Chiefs
and their offense? And has he lost his mojo? I
say mojo? I say the problem, mojo, He's lost his mojo.
We'll do that and much more. It is The Odd Couple.
Fox Sports Radio, stick and stay unless you're trying to
have fun again.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
In the US of AA, be sure to catch live
editions of The Odd Couple with Rob Parker and kelvin
Washington weekdays at seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific, on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Hey what's up everybody?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
on Game?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
What is Up on Game?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You asked, along with my fellow pro bowler Hutchman, Zada
and Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds. You
can only name a show with that type of talent
on it. Up on Game We're going to be sharing
our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to
Up on Game with me Lebar Arrington, TJ. Huschman, Zada,
(15:19):
and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts from.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Hey, Rob, we definitely got to send a lot of love.
There are folks out in the Texas area listening. Man.
All the flooding that went on this weekend and even
a little bit rained today. My goodness, man, so so
many people have been lost. Yeah, lives lost, and the
last I checked it was at eighty plus and they
had about forty something folks that were missing. Still ten
(15:51):
were from a Little Girl's summer camp. So yeah, wishing
everybody the best. I'lls some prayers everybody out there in
that area of Texas that was hit really hard. It's
the odd couple Rob Parker kelvin Washington on the Magic
City Monday and aching knees, stiff back joints not cooperating.
That was me until earlier day. By the way, some
days your body's just like, nah, this ain't it.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Wait till I tell you what happened up to me
this past weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
The top of the eight hour, all right, look to
one of those two man, we just Alex. That's just
the theme of the show this hour. I'll just luckily
my neck, head, my back. When you're going through that,
you need to leave with just one pill of lead
provides up to twelve hours of paying relief so you
can keep moving. Use as directed Pat Mahomes and the
basically saying, we just gotta have fun again. We got
(16:38):
to get back to having fun. Too much tight there's
been too much pressure, too much tightness, and they want
to get back to having fun, to get back to
their winning ways, even though they're fifteen to two. Went
to the super Bowl, which is crazy, uh, taking some
phone calls on it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Who we got Tony in DC. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What's up, Tony?
Speaker 9 (16:56):
What's up? Fellas? Hope you guys enjoying your summer there?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Oh yeah, absolutely you are too.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
The thing with Patrick Mahomes I find interesting is since
you know, he's played a lot of football during his career,
you know, considering the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And all that.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
And I think the big blow to Kansas City was
when they got rid of Tyreek Hill and that you
can't get rid of a top five receiver. That that explosive.
He's a home run every time you take the field,
and it's gonna change the philosophy.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
But Tony, they got away. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Hang on, they got away with it because you remember
they won the Super Bowl next year, so I'll see you.
He don't need he don't need that guy, and and
that's not the case.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
But I think that in the long run you're seeing
the effects of that. Everybody else is a little less effective.
And I think that he's turned into Tom Praying two
point zero with the short passing game, the more Leno Pacheco,
even though Pacheco broke his leg last year. So I
think the day of him the win for four hundred
five hund of yard games might be a little bit
(18:04):
behind them. Plus he's thirty years old and he played
a lot of football. But I think that the one
thing with these Chiefs is last year they had the
pressure to repeat on them. Nobody really talked about that either,
but I think they were mentally exhausted. Probably, Yeah, talked
about that.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Tony. He talked about this in the interview. He said
they put a little bit of those pressure on themselves.
And guys, that's what it's called. That's what greatness is.
You know what you expect to win every night? Michael
Jordan did it twice? Okay, you just expect to win,
all right, and you go out there.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I'm just saying, like, you can't have it both ways, Like, yes,
we're trying to we're trying to do something very special.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yep. And Tony appreciate the call. And that to me,
Rob and I was, you know, Robin, Rob g and
I were talking about and I said, they're victims of
their own success. Whereas you can't lose now right, you
gotta win a bunch of games every game. Other teams
have been able to do it, is my point. But
I think everybody becomes kind of the tight victim. Everybody
doesn't like us. The Warriors were so fun that everyone hey.
And then the Patriots, why they're doing so okay? Now
(19:01):
everybody hates him. And that happens where every game matters.
You become everybody's Super Bowl or NBA Finals if it's basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I just I'm not going to give them an out.
I just don't think they played well. And there were
games they just didn't play that well. And when I
looked at them, and that's.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
The way, he didn't play that well either.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, I said that all year, didn't I say that
all year? They're not winning the Super Bowl? This team
will not win a Super Bowl? And I kept saying
it over despite they kept winning games, and I said, dude,
just look at this.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
This is not I'm not giving you that though I did.
Why why? Because they made it to the g Did
I not say they would never win the Super Bowl?
But you did? They were fifteen into it, made it
to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I said, I don't care what they do during the
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Thirty one ain't gonna win it. So I like, you know,
I said it.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Right, I said, I said, I said two teams won't
win the Super Bowl, one won't get.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
There, and one one we went to this season? Rob G?
Who is that?
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Those two teams that would be the Detroit Lions and
the Kansaty Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Boy, he picked two fifteen and two teams, didn't he?
And I got it right team and I got to
get it wrong every week. No, I went wrong every week.
I got it. I got it right when it mattered.
You don't want to cry yourself to sleep, Kno, no, no, no,
tell you the forty nine ers one not the one.
This one's this one was bad. But it is sin
sting you Are you kidding you?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, no, no, absolutely stung me about it, Alex.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
They have a fifteen to two record, they were playing
a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
They were nine and out, rob G.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
How many teams were nine and a half point favorites
in the playoff game?
Speaker 10 (20:32):
Seriously? This past year two maybe, rob G? Rob G, No,
you in this conversation. You are you get in this conversation.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You are up seventeen getting ready to go to the
super Bowl. Yeah, or we lose and we had a
bunch of defenders out and we didn't look great and
Jaydon Daniels. We realized it's a really good quarterback.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Now, I'll tell you what. The Niners one probably hurt
more even as an objective.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Entire city of Detroit had booked their flights to Vacon.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
They had that game. They had it right there in
the palm of their hand.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, he gave it away, no doubt. And that's when
spirit stock went through the roof. Did No, it did
mancause Detroit. Heyron ain't wrong on that. He ain't wrong
on that one. They got a hub and they got
a big time. You know, I won't say it's a hug.
Is it a hub? No, it's not just but they
just a lot of people fly out to fly out
out of Detroit and to Vegas. Are you kidding? Oh yeah,
(21:27):
thirty nine done that flight a million from Vegas to Detroit.
When we first moved here and times was a little different,
we was all, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't have that
champagne status like you. I get apple cider. I don't
get the champagne pain that's on spirit all right, do
you feel the spirit? That's right on the way. We
got to discuss something else. Oh, y'all trying to sell
me on something in the NBA. I wasn't buying it.
(21:49):
Now I have some more proof of while it'm bid.
I'll tell you that in a minute. Right now, I
lo's gonna get you settle with trending.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
Man, what's trending? Sixty one dollars from Vegas to Detroit
as we speak, right right, Hurrance, But sixty dollars can't
beat that time to get down to the airpacar.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Are you ready? I got a better one for you? Ready, Ilo,
real quick?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Sure? So I'm taking a trip from Houston to New Orleans.
Do you want to know how much the flight is?
A one way flight from Houston to New Orleans on
a Tuesday afternoon?
Speaker 11 (22:22):
What airline?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Spirit? Okay? You ready? Twenty four dollars and thirty cents?
Is the flight? Is the cost of the road. That's
my meal at at Mendocino Farms or something like that.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
He's twenty four dollars and thirty cents for a flight
from Houston to New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
You gotta go just for no reason. I've got rate.
I'm going to have lunch at that rate. How's this
for a segue?
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Paolo ben carry the Orlando Magic can afford to buy
eleven million, eight hundred and ten thousand, six hundred and
ninety nine flights between Houston and New Orleans. Because the
ESPN report a man Karo's agreed to a five year
maximum rookie contract extension with up to two hundred and
(23:06):
eighty seven million dollars. Kyle Lowry's reportedly agreed to a
one year deal to return to the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
The Knicks official announced the hiring of Mike Brown as
their new head coach. Fourth round at Wimbledon today, nineteen
seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria goes up two sets to
nine over one seed Yonick Center, but then on the
third set, Dmitrov sustained a right pectoral injury. Here's how
(23:31):
it sounded on Radio Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
How can he swing that on? It really seems very
unlikely that he will. I know he's having to retire.
Speaker 12 (23:38):
He's come back on the courts Dwater Shane, that is,
he's played so well. He's actually in tears coming back.
But your heart goes out to Grigo Timtrov. He was
leading by two sets to love two in the third set.
He's getting a heroic evation so much sympathy for him,
but yet again his body lets him down in a
(24:00):
Grand sign That's the fifth one in a row that
he's had to retire.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Hurt.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You're that right.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
It was the fifth straight Grand Slam that Dimitrov had
to retire from due to injury. Leading to us he
was ranked nineteenth, but I mean, nobody had ever heard
of the guy before today. He's going up against the
number one seed at Wimbledon, and unfortunately insult got added
to injury because after this all happened, Dimitrov was ripped
(24:30):
on British sports talk radio BBC Radio five Live by
Sir Robinson Parker, which I felt was unfortunate. Meanwhile, earlier
American and Jackson Mahomes looked like Ben Shelton advanced to
the quarterfinals with a four set win. In Major League
Baseball right now, the Tigers up two to one over
the Tampa Bay Rays after three thanks to a two
(24:51):
run home run by Javier Bias, his tenth home run
of the season.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Guys, back to you, Sir Robinson Parker is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Thank you if you got that, and I'm guessing it's
the top rated show in Britain.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 11 (25:05):
It's all the rage on BBC five Live, Pip, that.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Would be the station I would be on. A ye,
is it that the biggest station there in Britain? Is
that not the biggest station.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
It's like the only station there. But they have like
ninety three different channels, so five Live is their sports.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You would be on the biggest station to BBC. What what?
What's the moment you got?
Speaker 11 (25:36):
You'd have some hot cricket takes? Let me tell you
what you go.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Ahead, come? What is wrong with you? You are You're
I'm crying like leg crying right now. Yo. That was
you ain't gonna make it? You ain't gonna make it? Yo.
Oh man, you might literally have to come up to
London and be bb Oh yeah, I lo my brand.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
My brain was a delay and I didn't realize who
I was talking.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
That wasn't even a delay.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I lo.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
You did?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
You didn't get it to the next day? All right? Uh?
Oh wow? How do I transition? So in the NBA,
a lot of people we have a Sean Phillips on,
we had Eddie House on and they all were discussing
rob how they think the Mavericks not only will have
a go okay to have a good team that would
they'll be in the Western Conference finals and maybe even
(26:33):
the finals. Uh, And I said, hold on, who whoa,
whoa the Mavericks. I like them on paper, they got
some they got some good pieces. But Kyrie Irving further
my reason why I was apprehensive about that. Here's what
Kyrie had to say.
Speaker 13 (26:45):
Will you be back by playoffs? Don't hold your breath
on that, You know what I'm saying. It doesn't mean
that I won't be back, it's just don't I don't
want to make any predictions on when I'm gonna be back.
I just want to be back one hundred and fifty
thousand percent better. So I'm taking my time right now
to really get healthy. I'm taking my time to really
get my body right, other parts of portions of my
(27:05):
body right, and and really just enjoy this.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Uh this recovery process. Man, it's it's it's not pretty. Yes,
it is a beautiful struggle.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
But I go through kind of the mental roller coaster
ride of every you know, every day just want to
be back out there.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So this is why I'm confused on the hyper not
that they will be solid and maybe make the playoffs,
I'm cool with that. But the idea that they're going
to represent the Western Conference in the West Comes Finals
and make the finals, and because everyone's banking home in
and they show the graphics Rob the starting lineup for
the MAVs, how you keep putting Kyrie Irving in his
starting lineup. He's not gonna be playing to minimally January February,
(27:40):
maybe not until March April, and so the peop will
keep oh Man Kyrie a d bluff. Kyrie is not
going to play for a very long time, Anthony Davis,
You're asking a lot for him to be healthy. By
the time Kyrie does come back, Cooper Flag will be
a rookie, Klay Thompson has passed his time, and the
rest of the guys are I'm I'm not necessarily sold.
(28:01):
I get individually. Collectively, again, I think they got some
nice pieces. If you told me this was their lineup
healthy starting tip off Game one, I'd be with you.
They'd have a really good team and we'll see. But
Kyriy's going to be out a very long time, Rob,
and he might be out the entire season. And didn't
say that. That's not what he said. What he said
he said. He didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
He said, I just don't want to make a prediction.
He didn't say, don't hold your breath, there's nowhere I'll
be back this year. He just said, I don't want
to predict when. I want to be healthy. I want
to come back. He should be back during the season,
like if he's the normal, it's the normal, Uh, you
know time and all that. Nor I'm just saying the
normal time. I don't disagree with that. You know, January
(28:43):
February is normal. That's not playoff time. He's supposed to
be back. That's why they're counting on him. January February
gives you plenty of time to get before when did
the playoffs start? April, so you know what I mean?
And April, so there's plenty of time. Even if he
comes back February early March, he too has a good
month and a half to get worked out, or a
month and three weeks, you know what I mean. And
(29:05):
then so should they count on Kyrie? Yes, unless there's
a hiccup or something goes wrong or or you know,
something happens. But it's not far fetched to think that
when the season ends in April.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That Kyrie would be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And I'm not saying I'm not picking them, but it's
like anything in the NBA, Well, we don't know. Is
somebody else from another team heard, you know what I mean?
Do they play the Plakers in the first round and
Lebron's not good or Lebron's heard or or whatever it is,
or somebody's down, you know what I mean. And a
couple of years ago they got to the finals with
Kyrie and Luca.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Of course that was a surprise, but they got there.
They had obviously a year or whatever, younger and better,
you know, better situation, Lucas says. But you hear to
say that they can't get there regardless of what I'm saying.
I don't understand why people are looking at this when
they're not getting their starting point guard, who arguably is
there because that's second best player on the team. Until
(30:05):
that's crazy on Anthony Davis for the charge. Not that
Ad won't put up numbers and ball when he's out there.
He's one of the best in the league when he's
out there, two way player, emphasis on out there, and
Kyrie ain't out there. I'm hoping Ad out there. I
got a young Cooper Flag who has the finest way
(30:25):
in the league, and Klay Thompson was on leaning and
then the rest. You know, I like the bigs, they
got Gafford and Lively, but I'm just like, all right,
y'all got a lot riding on the team that their
main guy the engine as far as what will go.
Kyrie's out, and then we got to hope Ad and
both Kyrie are healthy at the same time, because they
have no shot without those guys.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I mean, I hear you, and you can sit here
and we could guess the mate and try to figure
it out, and you could you know, that's.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
What we do Rob here on the BBC radio. You
could stick.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Your uh, you know, your Anthony Davis voodoo doll and
make sure that he's heard come playoff time, because I
just can't because history, because A d won a championship
and that was the time they had three months off
and he was healthy and he played and he was
big for them.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Without them, they don't win that show. So you're telling
me we're going through COVID again.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
All I'm saying is that if he's healthy, and there's
a big if, we got that. But when you look
at the team on paper, and if everybody's on the team,
and if and if.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Cooper Flag is Larry Bird. I know, I'm just saying
I'm not there. You know I'm not thereunderstand how Larry
Bird was?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
You know I was distraught over it. I just thought
it was ridiculous to just throw around Larry Bird's name
just because he's a white guy, a white basketball play.
Oh yeah, he's gonna be Larry Bird. No, that's not
How about Tom Chambers? How about Christian Lady? I really
love that comparison, But he was a good player, Tom Champers,
very good day, really good player.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Even Andre carolinco I'm not mad at I think he
can have potential a little bit more offense than AK
forty seven. But AK forty seven was nice for about
a five six years. He was really nice. Why did you.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Also pick a light skin player to compare.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Him to well, Polo ban Carol I started.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
You didn't say Polo.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
On the day? Did we said Ceiling could be Jason Tate?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Oh, with the light skin, big big, a dark player.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
First of all, that's not kind of right. What you
mean dark? What you mean by dark? Doc? What do
you mean you say, this is getting crazy. You started
when how we love each other? Is this how we
love each other with an insult and just going at
each other.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Everything was fine, so you brought up the pinnata at
the top of the show.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
That's right. Everything else was fine. So other things happened too.
Nothing happened. I wasn't evenalking about I was talking about
my cargain scratched. What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (32:48):
OK?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Because I just got DJ infamous on Twitter in tears
while in publics He says, in tears.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I wonder why he was in tears rap, I wonder
what he.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Was Jesus and tears because your car got scratching, huge boner, Alex,
what do you do?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We could have just talking about all right? Well, shecho city.
You know what, Rob G.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
When I come in the mall, I'll have a print
out a resignation without a date on it, and I'll
just hold on to it, you know what.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
And we're gonna have that box that you always see
in sitcoms when somebody gets fired to get the box.
We'll have the box ready for yous box and then
Sam's gonna throw it out. It's been here too long.

Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
Dalley Dicks against the scrap.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
How you do all right? From Friday two and one? Okay,
all right, okay, all right, I'll give you that. Let's
go for the night. Here we go, Let's see what
we got.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I'm taking the Cleveland plus they've lost ten in a row.
I'm taking them plus one and a half against the Astros,
who just swept the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So these are just odds, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
They just swept down exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
There's no way Cleveland's gonna lose eleven in a row,
are they? The Nationals was trying do that too.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
No, I'm gonna take Cleveland and that's my best bet. Also,
I have the Rangers minus one and a half. They're
taking on the Angels in Anaheim. And last I'm gonna
take the Padres plus one and a half they are
hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks. So we got the Padres plus
(35:26):
one and a half, Rangers minus one and a half,
and the Guardians plus one and a half to break
that ten game losing street on the road against the
red hot scorching Shuston as go ahead. Remember Kevin, I'm
not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling you
(35:48):
who I bet on.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Eighteen to one. They smacked the Dodgers up. Yeah that
was that was big. Yeah, worst beat down at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I know people there were like the one game that
you know, I go to one game of a year, Like,
what's the game I came to, came to this watch
my team get demolished getting away.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
There't no way people stayed for that. I couldn't have stayed. Well,
sometimes it's so bad it almost becomes laughable. Let's just
see how bad this can get. I'm getting in my car.
Let me get out of here, man, all right, and
its signing out for your tire. Rec Player of the
day set piece here for Mexico. Alo out of the
fake now it's hooked it.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
It takes the flicking of tens and Alvarez the flag
comes up for offside. Mexico has had multiple goals ruled
out for offside at this tournament.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
And he's having a look at this right now.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
Again, we're not looking for clear and obvious here as
he would an MLS.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
What is looking for the right decision. And it is
a good goal. It is a Mexico goal.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
It is at sint Alvarez, who's giving Mexico the lead
with twelve minutes to play.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, I was watching that game right there, man. It
was Fox, Yeah, Fox Television. I was watching that game,
sitting there, watching that Rogerie. They got me all in.
I ain't gonna lie, you know. It was tough.
Speaker 7 (36:56):
I was watching at home with the missus, and you
call me a fake Mexican for reading for USA.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
She's no, there's a great conversation to be had there.
There's a great conversation where we're not gonna have you
on my side. There's a great conversation we had because
if you had a brother, I.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
Can't say something like, oh so if USA is playing Keny,
y'all got who for Kenya?
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Like racist? Here's the thing though, from So that's where
it gets from. Continent, but we don't know exactly where
we're from, just somewhere. That's where you guys get covered.
So you don't have to worry about this kind of
because that's where it gets tricky. Robger. You could argue, well,
people like Okay, I'm going for America. But then like
if it's a brother brother on another team, you're like, oh,
(37:42):
got one other brother? It gets complicated. That's what your
wife was saying right there.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
She called me a fake Mexican.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
See what I mean. That's a complicated conversation. Now we're
not gonna have it right now. Tirereck Player of the

convenient insulation options like mobile tire installation tyrereck dot Com
the way tire bidings should be rop How do you
almost tear your aco?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
So I'm at Dodger Stadium on Sunday and I'm sitting
in the dugout totally oblivious as to what's going on.
I just did some interviews. I'm sitting there and I
don't know. I've been covering baseball for thirty nine years. Okay,
so I have avoided for thirty nine years ever being
hit by the baseball.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Okay. I'm sitting there where the opening.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Of the dugout where the players go to go on
the field, and I'm sitting there and out of nowhere,
I don't see the ball at all. I mean literally
what A ball hits me squarely on my knee. Oh,
I'm just sitting there, like if that ball hit me
in my face just out, my teeth would have been
(38:54):
broken out.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Whatever. So apparently.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
A currently the infielder throwing the ball to the first
basement overthrew the first basement and it came into the dugout. Now,
I thought Steve Sachs had retired, but apparently not, because
you remember, he couldn't throw the ball at the first.
Speaker 14 (39:16):
Thank you keep going because I'm about to get at
you so unbelievably though, Alex, this is because I'm in
good shape now and.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Everything all right, Yeah, yeah you are.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
No swelling, no bruise, and rob g I showed you
my knee right, no bruising, no swelling, and no real pain.
So the idea that I was going to suit the
Dodgers for a lawsuit just didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
It could have worked.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I just I was like, I thought about it. They
came over to me, They're like, are you all right?
And I was about to say I need I need
an ambulance.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
The issue would have been they'd be like, yeah, on
the back of your credentials. If anything happens to you
while you're here, that's on you. Uh, rob Here, I
am thinking Freddie Freeman and hit a VP and it
hit on line drive. You tell me somebody overthrew first base, Yes, Robgie,
I'm thinking somebody that. I'm thinking Max Munsey then blasted
one towards the dugout and overthrown ball. It hit me
(40:18):
on my knees, rarely on my knee, Alex. I was like,
I looked up.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I was like, and the first thing I thought about
was that could hit me straight in the face, like
like I wasn't paying attention like that, I thought my
teeth would have been not I'm.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Thinking show hal Toddy then blasted one to are you
kidding me right now? Somebody? Man, I can't believe we
just he's double with you.
