Whoa whoa whoa?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Oh yeah, take out the beat, say Bradley meal, we

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Let's do that.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Rob g did you see he's about to take me
to task. Alex is on board with me, but go ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I'm on board so well. For those who don't know
you posted on I want to pull it up. Specifically,
you posted on your there we go, got you there
a picture of you. This is how you prepare for
a cross country trip from Atlanta to La night before
you go to the grocery store and buy a few
(02:11):
reduced priced sandwiches, put them in a fridge in my
hotel room over night, bingo at the airport. They're sixteen
dollars each. It's not being cheap, it's being smart, says
Rod Parker. Now I'm looking at a reduced Goudha slide,
yep slider, and then a chicken salad croissant.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That's what most people were sick. They're like you eating
the old chicken salad.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That is what.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
You had about five hours to eat this, and you
put on here. This is how you the night before,
which manute just set up in an old fridge. I
don't know the temperature of the fridge, just hanging out there.
When you see reduced, you're supposed to eat it immediately
right then and there, Rob g you're with me. You
like to save money. He likes his stomach though, well
(02:59):
when he had one.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
I mean I like saving money, but.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Grocery store reduced. There's a limit to that.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
And two, Kay want in a ba in my backpack
and it's gonna get all moist and then I'm gonna
get on this now through the.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Flight is going through detectors and under conveyor belts and
just but it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Hadn't expired yet. It expired. You haven't expired. I'm surprised. Hey,
my stomach is good. I haven't been running to.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
The bathroom during that last break, Royder, you run in
the bathroom, So there's nothing wrong with the who expired
sandwiches is crazy?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Al can you explain how the expiration works for people
who don't know because they think if it's oh my god,
it's marked down, that means it's bad.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
That's not why it's marked out.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Oh of course, Katen, I understand. Maybe you're somebody who
lives in the limp Street of the Hills. You have
nannies and cooks and personal sheeps every day. Joe blow right.
See like me and I should be on the morning
show where the people whereof the people. We work for
the people, We grind for the people. Kateon, I mean,
I know you don't remember the Ryan. It's been so long.
You've been a team ahead. So I can respond. It's okay.
(04:04):
I know your daughter's upset you can't play golf. She
has to do tennis this summer.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And and I think, is uh, this kid who's going
to middle school forty five thousand dollars a year middle school.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That was just the daycare.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Wait, let me let me flip this conversation. Now we're
down the rabbit hole. We all parked next to each
other like fast and furious today in the parking line.
If you noticed that we did, yeah, he was first.
And I can say, and I don't think this is disrespected,
then you agree right now?
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Due.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
The car you brought today is easily the less nice.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Of the what'll do the car because you didn't bring
the big body new don't do the car?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
But I have just I have a car, okay, and
the car chose.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Rob's out here with a quarter million dollars sports car.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I wasn't going to bring it up.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
That's why I said I would let Alex cook and
let him feel like that.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
First of all, we got the drop.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Time on hundred thousand miles on it exactly.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I'm just ordinary people, like John Legend said, I'm an
ordinary aff the student, nothing more.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
The sandwich is not expos not bad. No, here's my
issue with you. You doubled the expiration.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
If you had one two separate ones a slide, what
was the slider right to seventy airport?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Rob g sixteen? I do agree with that. I can't
argue with you on that sixteen conversations.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Rob, you could have went to a deli before and
got a fresh meats and done.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You could have got the first one. Then if I
got the fresh it would probably be eight dollars. That's
okay in a good stomach. My stomach is foed.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
There's nothing wrong see the expiration date is for legal purposes.
I know that to totally get rid of stuff on shelves.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
They leave it out there. It doesn't go bad. I know.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
It's the reason why they reduced the prices is because
they're saying, instead of these sandwiches going to last another week,
they're only going to last another day.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Or they probably would last a week. It's just their
requirement for.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You have eaten so many antibodies and enzymes and all that.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right, I don't want to sell it. We want people
to come in, right like save people.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Guys on his lunch play, he came in and it's
not expired.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'm gonna buy it and it won't go bad, so
I'm don't have to.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Throw it out.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
The reason while you're trying to hang with Rob and
co signed Rob, this is the same dude who brought
to expired sandwiches with a pair of three thousand dollars
Travis Scottson, that's fine, Make that makes sense with a
Gucci belt on that was fifteen hundred Your deaf hear
bracket you have to drive a lesson?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
What about this guy?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
I get it. I'm just saying with the food, it's like,
if you look at all the food we throw away
all of it, I don't disagree. So Rob's actually smart.
He actually got two meals for four bucks exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yo.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
The greatest trick the devil ever Pool was convincing a
guesst that Rob was one of the people.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And let me tell you, the devil's name is Alex.
Right now, I.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Can't believe you know I'm a man of the people.
I'm an average Joe, the one. Since you want to
go there, let me go there? Am I right now?
Robbi Elijah, make sure you put this up.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
It's crazy man always at the airport and they, uh
this kids stop me about my Travis Scotts. Yeah, it
was crazy. I think this kid saw me when I
had my other Travis Scotts. And then he was so
it was crazy. He was like, you got the Scotts
with the Louis. This is crazy. It's a regular. And
he said something. He said something about my drip was
(07:19):
I don't even know what it means. My drip is
crazy or something. Stop it.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
And I said you should have seen my chocolate. Rolex,
Oh you shouldn't see.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
So I bought I bought my my I bought my Alex.
I bought my business partner a Rolex. What you got
to say to that you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Were with it for twenty some years, thank you, blood,
sweat and tears to build a business that's a real friend.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I brought my Rolex.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Listen, k Rob thinks internally uneat the things that I
enjoyed that I can get affordably, But when I exterially
want to enjoy myself.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Will.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Eat the things internally that might kill me.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, it's not a bad chicken salad sandwich.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'm eating here. I got my harvest bar fruits and baits,
beats and berries. Things.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Just understands about not just throwing money a sixteen dollars
a chicken salad sandwich because I'm waiting to lee get
into the airport. And the only difference is that one
that the thing doesn't have a sticker on it and
it expires in two or three days, and the one
at the supermarket expires in two or three days, but
(08:27):
it has a sticker on it.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So you just two big, huge reduced douce. How can
the sticker have an echo? That's how big the sticker was.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Let me let me tell you what team doesn't have
a sticker it is reduced. Okay, it's the LA Clippers,
and I'm here to officially tell you whoa they are
the chosen franchise in the NBA, the LA Clippers, rob G,
I want you to join us and talk about all
the players who keep coming to the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
You it might be right.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Because they have Steve Balmer like one of the richest owners. Right,
beautiful building, right, Tylu, fantastic coach.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
We talked all the time argument here, Tylu. All the time.
People say I'm always ripping on people. You never heard
me rip? Tylu. I think he's I think he's a
great coach.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Also, Kawhi Leonard is a cool superstar who's not like
over the top. People could get along and feel like
have you ever heard and all the stuff people talk about,
never heard anybody rip. I'm talking about Kawhi Leonard other
than San Antonio with the and all that, and that
(09:39):
was just what you.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Know what I mean? People message this whole world, but
Rob G, name all the.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
People that have picked the Clippers wouldn't had a chance
to go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And that's what we just saw with Bradley Beal. That's right.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Dating back to twenty nineteen. Since you mentioned since Kawhi
Leonard made the decision to sign it.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Remember, he could have gone to the Lakers with a
D it was money for him with ADM and he's
from LA. He could have picked the Lakers and had
it way easier, he probably would have two or three championship.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
More So, just here's a list of guys who have
chosen the Clippers in free agency or made their destination. Hey,
Kawhi picked them in free agency. Paul George forced the
trade to the Clippers. They say he could have went anywhere.
He said, trade me to the Clippers. James Harden forced
his way there, and just in the uh buyout market
now again buy out. Some of them worked out, some
(10:27):
of them didn't. But all of these guys could have
went anywhere for the price that they went to. Nicholas Patoum,
Reggie Jackson, John Wall, Russell Westbrook, Ben Simmons, and now
Bradley Beal.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I had no forget Brook Lopez. The Lakers wanted them.
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
He said, Oh, no, I'm going to Clippers. You disagree
with the Clippers being the chosen franchise in the NBA.
Now they have won and I'm not sitting here doing that,
but people do like the way it's set up, the organization.
It's in Los Angeles. You're the little brother. You're the
little brother, and everybody knows it, and it doesn't stop
(11:05):
people from going.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Here's my issue. Everything you just said is a fact.
Can't deny that. And you know what else is a fact.
The Clippers have been dramatically better than the Lakers for
the last ten to fifteen years. They've been much better
than the Lakers. I mean, at one point in time
they were destroying him up like thirty something games of five.
When the last forty games or something, it was crazy.
(11:27):
They've had so many iterations of them. But that's the issue.
Rob Clippers, flippers, slippers. They still clip, and the Clippers
always seem to clip. When I first moved here in
twenty eleven, that was the Chris Paul Live city here
and I was all in. I've been a massive Chris
Paul fan. He's one of my favorite players of all time.
I thought he was you know, I think he's amazing
(11:48):
and that team was so fun. Jamal Crawford went to Michigan,
as you know, well, I won't say I know him
but you see him around the way, and I was
seen him as a blast, and they were the sexy
pick to pick to win the championship for a handful
of years and they never got it done. Then they
move on and they get to Kawhi Leonard here and
they got great players on that team, and they get
Paul George. And the issue I have is it just
(12:09):
hasn't amounted to something. And to me, there's no more
excuses because of what you just meant mentioned. You have
the most the richest owner in basketball who actually cares too.
He's all in, he's invested. I like Steve Baumer. You
have a new arena. You're not in the Lakers or
the King Shadow anymore. You got your own home out
there in Inglewood. Everyone seems to enjoy it. Into a
dome seems to be popping. So you got that. You've
(12:31):
got stars. Now you keep getting guys, as you mentioned,
you got older stars, you got middling stars. You got
guys who want to come. He's from here too. You
got Brook Lopez. He could have gone to the Lakers.
They wanted them. And so you're doing all of this.
You have to win. This is to me, there's no excuse.
You've got great players, you got a great coach, you
(12:52):
got a great ownership, you got a fancy new arena.
This has to be it because my last point, Rob,
when I first moved here, I was disappointing the Clippers
because they had a chance.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Right now, if you were a twelve year old, fifteen
to sixteen.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Year old kid, you could have been a Clipper fan
because what would have happened was your parents would say, no,
we're Laker fans. But all you would have known was
bad years of Kobe and bad teams, and you'd have
been like, all I see is this. Clippers are fun,
they're exciting, Lop City, they're winning, had they won a
ring or two, and I believe they missed an opportunity
for in Los Angeles, not older heads and not the
(13:26):
vast majority, but a nice contingency of young people who
all they've known is the Lakers ain't really been that great.
The Clipper's been winning a lot. Maybe win a ringer
two with Lop City or with Kawhi, you know what
I mean. And now you got a nice fan base
that a u s you winning, and that's how you
build a fan base with young folks. You're never gonna
win anybody twenty and older. All they've known is Shaq
and Kobe Magic and so on and so forth. That
was my biggest thing. And the team that did it
(13:47):
was the Warriors. The Warriors crept in LA during those years.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Rob G.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Did you not see a bunch of kids starting to
wear Warrior jerseys? Didn't wear Lakers?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
The Lakers are bad. But that's my point. It was Steph.
It was the winning.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It was a splash brothers what they could pick step
up and he was this yeah, And that's but I'm
saying the Clippers to me, I thought they had an
amazing chance to make a little small dent over the
last ten fifteen years with the young fan base.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But but you got it. It's it's impressive on how
many people have chosen.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I agree, but do something to come up. I'm not
mad at them. Find a way to win.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven,
nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine. Are the Clippers
the new chosen franchise in the NBA? We got it
wrong here?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Are we?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Are we over hyping because we live in Los Angeles?
I think they're chosen franchise and do you expect this
Bradley Beal addition to pay off with the championship or
will it be Clippers as usual. We'll continue that conversation
next with you. It is the odd couple on a
Magic City Monday. I still taste those lemon pepper wings
(14:51):
on My goal.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Is that Wednesday? Today, it's worse of Wednesday. I let
the first one go because we had a slide. All right,
I thought it was Monday. I'm back today.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I'm like, do you do realize you were at Magic
City on Monday? I was that So what I'm thinking
of is she puts you in a trance? Boy? Put
that man? Rob Dehata lost two whole days? What day?
Is it?
Speaker 9 (15:14):
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So the worst Wednesday? I've been saying it all show.
You haven't even said anything because of the joke Magic City.
You were there, I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But then I look in your eyes and I said,
this man is serious, really really thinks I sorry the Lorian?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Did you hop?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:27):

I say the franchise have had plenty of chances to

new fan base, and they just always get close with
no cigar. I don't think they're the chosen franchise. They
have pulled a few good names. I'll give you that
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox What we got?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
How about Jay in Georgia. You're on the eye couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Jay?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Hey? What's up?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Rob?
Speaker 8 (17:12):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Kevin?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
How are you jo?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Yo?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (17:15):
Hey, Rob?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Let me go tell you.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
I was at the All Star Game last night.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Man, it was amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It was amazing, right.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Yeah, what what?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
What was it?
Speaker 10 (17:23):
That hate Aaron tribute?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Just that that was a bit.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
That was most amazing thing I ever seen.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, what if they had the seven fifteen and all
the lights and everything and then the great shot of
his widow.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
There were pretty amazing.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Oh yeah, they being all right.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
But to get back to the Clippers, I don't I'm
not really feeling the Bradley Beal thing it. I mean,
he hasn't been Bradley Beal as we know him. F's
what like twenty twenty one, so.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I don't really see how it moved to me.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
And the Clippers kind of reminded me of like my
Atlanta Sports team, how we just seen curts for some reason,
how we always choking the big moments. That's how I
always look you the Clippers. I mean, they got a
great player Kawhi, they got a great head coach and Tyler.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
But I don't know what it is, just something I
always seen.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Something that's true, and that's how I feel, Jay, You're right,
because like it doesn't make sense. They've had great teams.
I mean, the lot City teams were favored and they
got really far too. You' the Lakers won in the bubble,
thea was supposed to win. How was the year they're
supposed to one hundred percent? It's like something all they say.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
The Lakers couldn't beat them, and they got knocked up before.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The Lakers ain't been beating them for the most part
of the last ten, twelve, fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Track in Rancho, California. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Track?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 11 (18:40):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I want to tell you guys about these Clippers. Look,
I used to work for the Clippers twenty eleven. We
was all Lakers fans straight up, and I'll tell you
about the players that go there. They just want to
live under the radar. They can't live they can't live
up to the height. They'll get scrutinized. There's no hot
takes on the Clippers. There's no storylines on the Clippers.
If the Lakers got a losing record, the Clippers are
(19:02):
like the Los Angeles Anaheim Angels. Man, there is no
way that people want to come play there and for
a championship. They get in there, they go there for
the check man. Check this out. If you get someone
that comes to the Lakers, I mean, they can't even
live under the lights. Man. They can't hit a free throw.
That's how much the spotlight is on that team in LA.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I get that. There's no comparison. It's like the Yankees
and Mads and I get that, you know what I mean,
or teams where there's two teams in the city, the
Cubs in.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
The White Sox. I get all that, but.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It still says something about that organization that people still
want to mess with them. The Donald Sterling Clippers, nobody
was coming to and they had the sunshine and they
could play in La you know what I mean and
all that, and people didn't want to go there because
it was like, oh my god, why would I want
to play for that organization that they've made a big improvement,
(19:56):
that building they have If you don't go there and
look at what they've got going and Tyler and you
got a superstar, who's who's manageable?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
And like I said, Steve Balmer, I mean, it just
it's that's it's all there. It's all sitting there, and
I think there is some something new players want to be.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I can be that piece they just need me. I
can be that one piece.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
If you're a John wall you feel like I can
be that piece if I'm a Russell Westbrook, that piece
to get him over the edge. I think they've gotten
guys with that, but it just hasn't worked out.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Orlando in El Paso, Texas. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Orlando?
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Hey, good, I see you guys.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 12 (20:36):
Just the Clippers had a window and they just didn't
capitalize on it. I remember Chris Paul Blake Griff and
Dondre Jordan's what you call John Jordan's time. They had
a good team. But you know Doc Rivers with this
whole nonsense of ball. Well, I've never gotten swept. Yeah,
I fail to Houston.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That was terrible.
Speaker 12 (20:55):
I feel over a player like Chris Paul because he
didn't decide that you could tell he pour his soul, blood, sweat, tears, everything.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And he still had some bad get big games for
them too.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
And it just what it wasn't some of it was
his own health. He couldn't you know, hamstring that something
always heard or something. Thanks Orlando, appreciate the call. How
about real quick call and mobile Alabama. You're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Call?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Guys? Thanks taking my call. You're the caller just for
this one. Nailed it. I think the Clippers are that
organization where guys go and they can make money without
the pressure. It's like Brooklyn and New York. You know
Durant and uh Kyrie, they go to Brooklyn. You don't
have that pressure of like championship.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, I do too, And I'm gonna say this call
in the New York thing like people. The Knicks owner
people didn't want to go there, like they like, they
haven't been able to get anybody.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
So they thought, they know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Called like, like I hear you what there is a
different pressure between Brooklyn and playing for the Knicks. I'm
not pooh poohing what you're saying, but I'm telling you
that the Knicks owner was bad and a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Do like that is you know what I mean? To
make sure you said it was Jim Dolan. James Dolan, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
James, He's probably mad at us right now for saying
that you ain't never going back to Massacre Garden all right.

Couple Robin Calvin on a worship Wednesday. That's right, a
worship Wednesday, not Magic City Monday. Rob, As you want
to relive your couple of forty eight hours ago again,
she had you in it.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
It's still choke like magic. Like, I guess this is
my first day at work, so I kind of thought,
Hixy dust On, you ain't even right, look at you.
I also had to get up at four some in
the morning or turn my car and all.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That and get on a plane and eat a half
baked up the fish, I mean chicken salad. It was
still right, it was delicious. I haven't been to the
bathroom at all today.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
That could also be a bad thing to my stomach
is not boiling.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It was so good to say, and it tasted better
because it was two dollars and seventy cents.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I think when you get a deal, the food tastes better. True,
you know, you don't have to get a deal and
everything right like you do. Sometimes you can just I
just grab a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
But it's ok.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I buy stuff full price when I really wanted it
for something I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I don't wait, I don't know that you do though, Like,
don't city you bought the wings? Yes? No, I was.
They brought the wings, I Alex.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I wasn't able to press Mayterium them down on a
better price, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I just had to a young lady so wait.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
So so technically that song wasn't That was a too
that didn't count right, that was a half right down.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
With DJ the DJ rolled into the next song. Right, No, no, no,
I'm not paying. I'm not paying for that. That's a
TikTok song. Come on, I don't want to go viral.
Oh boy? All right, so if you.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Speaking of that, My sixty five year old sister text
me today said, yeah, you're going viral on TikTok. I'm
just like, what, Like I could have never expected to
get you.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It was RG three again. Oh somehow.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I don't know what she's but I was just shocked
to get a text from her, of all people talking
about TikTok.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Thanks marian shot to Marianne. Yeah. I mean that's where
we are right now, dude. Listen.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Aunties are running social media and I have people who
my wife actually thought they were my real aunts because
I'll post something about my daughters and the other all the
niece pools and all that and numb and She's like,
who are they? Like they just watched the news, Alex,
they just watched me on Spectrum News one, and they
literally feel like they're part of the family. All right,
all right, Yeah, so we talked about the uh the
(24:49):
how great it was, right.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I was there for the tribute to hankcare and
I thought it was nice. I did not immediately go
that this was omitted or how come they didn't say this,
or uh they did it because of Trump or whatever.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
So uh yeah, let's play both clips.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
We'll play what got rob g the original one which
is Vince Sculling, which they used, and you saw it
with all the lights out and like the candles and
then the seven fifteen on the big board. I mean
it was beautiful, it really was. And then a shot
of his wife from her from behind. It was great.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
What a marvelous moment for baseball, What a marvelous moment
for at Lata and the state of Georgia. What a
marvelous moment for the country in the world a black
man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South
or breaking a record of an all time baseball idol.
Speaker 13 (25:47):
Okay and the state of Georgia a.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Country, all right, So clearly the first one longer he
touches on the race uh factor when it came to
him doing that, and you know, black man deep getting
love in the Deep South. Your thoughts you were there
now people are saying, you know, kind there was a
lot of think pieces on it afterwards.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, you did, you were you didn't you were upset with.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It at the time when I listened to it, No,
I really didn't, you know. I gotta admit, no one
talked about it like in the building, like at least
the people, and I think when you have time to
sit back and look at it, you want to dissect it.
I just thought it was really nice because obviously Hank
Aaron died and remember they lost the All Star Game
(26:42):
in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Oh yeah, twenty one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I mean I'm down there telling the players about it
or whatever, and most didn't think it was you know, like,
oh my god, what did they do to the sound
or whatever? But people have a right to listen to
the original and feel like it would have been better
(27:05):
to have the whole thing. I wouldn't be mad at
anybody if they felt that way. But I did not
feel I gotta admit I didn't feel like, oh my god,
what did they just do or you know, how could
they do that?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Like, like, I did not feel that way.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I think it was so well done that in real
time you couldn't have thought of it right, because you're like, oh,
and then lights and then oh they got the you know,
the seventh players and then the ball, you know, the thing,
the flying light thing is the ball and it was
so well done. All you're thinking of is Prava. This
(27:38):
was incredible. That's how you pay a tribute, that's how
you pay homage. That then people who maybe weren't there
can think about the whole You know what it is
when you're at a game you didn't see the commercial
or you didn't see that player.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
And I'm recording. I can show you on my phone.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I'm like recording it, and I swear I didn't go,
wait a minute, where's this?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I really didn't think. You're just in the moment in
real time. Everybody where they were there at home because
it was just so well done and it was so thoughtful.
But then when you get the pause and you know,
this is what happens when that's what seven point two
million people watching.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
And this is what people do. Though you know they
or they should have done this. Oh, Beyonce, that you
missed the hidden meanings exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Kendrick Lamar does the Super Bowl perform, but that flag
meant this and the colors of the dancers really and
you're like, oh, I thought it was just a good
dance perform and they break it down. So here's what
I thought, now that they brought it up. You go, oh, shoot,
he didn't mention that. Was it intentionally taken out? Yes,
and it says that clearly they didn't use it. Do
I think there was a sinister plot behind it. No,
(28:41):
Here's why. I think I would have felt some type
of way, and I would have made me been more
in line with the folks who brought it up had
they not shown a real big representation of African Americans
in Atlanta. If you've ever been Atlanta, you've been a
million times. I've been a million times. It is a
very strongly dominantly black environment. The mayors are black, the
(29:03):
HBCU's not all black, definitely not all black.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
But look at what they had with the marching. So
that's where I'm going. They embraced everything. And then they
had the HBC, they had Clark Atlanta out there, they
had the game.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
On Friday, which was what they could have easily said,
you know, we're going to pass on that.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
We got whitewash.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
And so that's why to me, I was telling Rob
g this if I felt as if it was the
cornfields of ile even at Atlanta or it was this,
and it was at and it was Joe Demangi on
TEP and.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Just kind of like, d're in Atlanta. Baseball embraced Atlanta's blackness.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
They embraced Atlanta's blackness, the culture, the HBCU Germaine de
Priest kind of the honorary mayor there too.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And maybe that's why I didn't feel that way at
the time, because every time I turned around and they
put a celebrity on the screen, a big screen and
with somebody black.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And so I just felt like, if I'm doing all
of that, why am I fearful of a handful of
lines that were barely here from vincecent Matt don't get
it twisted. Those lines meant a lot. And when he
said that, he said times that's incredible because late great
Vince Scully for that to do that in real time
and in an era where I'm sure people could have
(30:12):
been upset with him. But you gotta remember, oh, I'm
sure that I mean because there you mentioned that right now.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It wasn't the time of the places and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
The Braves announcer Milo, I can't remember his last name.
I don't know why I'm forgetting his name, but he
talked to he's the one who who has the call
as well, and he doesn't mention that, you know what
I mean, he's an Atlanta broadcaster. Vin Scully's doing the
national broadcast. No, he's doing the Dodgers broadcast. And that
was Vin Scully because you know they home run came
(30:39):
against the Dodgers and Al Downing.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yep, so you have to Milo Hamilton, model Hamilton. Who oh,
I should have remembered this last No, you're human, dude.
So that was my biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
What I really thought about it, I was like, dang,
that really would have brought context here we all were
in Atlanta. You got black players, and by black, I
mean also for Afro Latino and you got all this.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
But I was like, more I thought about it, I
was like, it was fully represented. Fully you saw the
kind of the Atlanta black experience. And so to me,
they were intentional with that. I kind of cut them
some slack with that. Now, had they added those two
three extra sins, it would have been the most perfect one.
They batted hit it out the park every single part
(31:19):
of the All Star weekend. If they got it this,
so I got to give him a ninety seven point eight.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And we always know that baseball and it's embracing of
Hank Aaron and you know what I mean, like they
never short change him, like like you know.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
So I think putting on this performance, putting on the
time that I think they just cut that out. Again,
it was intentional the cutout clearly, you know, if you
make a decision. But I don't think it had malice
behind it, right light, Like oh no, I think it
was like, dude, we fully have embraced it, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You could have easily like like I said, dude, if
you looked up on the big screen you think Atlanta
was all black?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
And they had a couple of shots of some like
country music people and some actors who were from you know,
Atlanta or but but minuscule compared to the big celebrities.
You saw the big commercial on Fox, it's Luda Christian.
Who's the other range? Right, like like that's just that.
That was the star commercial for the.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
All Star Game in Atlanta and that and that's why
I'm giving them a pass. And I feel as if
all right they represented in that way would have been
icing on the cake and made it perfect. Absolutely, And
you know so maybe they kind of missed with that,
but I don't think it was ill intention or malice,
malicious intention. I'd say with that as well. All right,
well the way one's gotta go, and this one is
(32:36):
baseball related, if you will.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I thought it was gonna be about the sandwich. One
sandwich gotta go, but go.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Ahead, Well you gotta go that. Absolutely, that's easy. You'll
appreciate it. You're mister ballpark. You like a good, good frank,
a good dog at the game. I had to push
the sour crows. Oh boy, I told you that joke.
They fell out.

Is that when I'm planning there even number?
Speaker 13 (34:01):
Figure it out?
Speaker 3 (34:05):
All right?
Speaker 4 (34:06):
So did you know that today is National Hot Dog Day?
Earlier on my TV show, we had some pinks hot
dogs a staple out here in LA. This was really good.
I had a chili dog. It was delicious, might I add?
So I thought to myself. I said to myself, you
know what, let's do that. So here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna list op five. Now one I'm gonna explain
a little bit because the other ones are obvious. So
(34:26):
let's start with corn dog. One of these dogs has
to go Rob Alex Martin. This is way, Robbie. I
literally read one and that is that the answer. Here
we go. So I'm gonna go corn dog, traditional dog,
just kind of your basic dog, just a traditional hot.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Dog, meat hot dog?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (34:46):
What are you talking about? That nasty way they put
on the meat, the chicken and pork and no, just
tradition like the normal just pant a beef hot dog.
Is it beef or is it just it's a Hebrew
national role. It's just you went to the Dodgers. As
you go and you get a dot.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
All right, that's a Hebrew that's right. They got to
answer to a hire a thar. They do have to,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Or you have the coney slash chili dog.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I'm gonna let you know. We've got the meat on
top a brot. I'm gonna counter brought. That's not a
hot I'm counting from. I need five. And lastly, this
one is a Chicago style you know what those are
where they put all the stuff on it.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You had to cover up the taste.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yes, so you have you've got tomatoes, you've got pickles,
big pickles too. You gotta even taste the hot dog.
And you got let us on. It's a bunch of stuff.
That's the Chicago It's like a whole meal on the dog.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
So there it is.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
You got a brot, You got a corn dog, traditional dog,
coney slash, chili or a Chicago style.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
First of all, the only hot dog to eat is
a dirty water hot dog with the natural casing, red
onion sauce and spicy brown mustard. Like that's the one.
I need baby oil after one of those, I need
baby oil. So that's that's the one that But which
one has to go?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Her?
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Easy corn dog? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 13 (36:01):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I don't know that kind of slap. Alex. Where are you?
Are you a corner guys? Dude, I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
I've never got a corn dog in my life. How
they're given to me or like they're in a freezer
to friend's house. I've never bought one, but not.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Like affair or circus or something like that. Like there's
so many better things chili, cheese, dog dog, you know,
Like all right, hey, all right, your choices, rob g.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
It's easy, and we're keeping the corn dog number one.
Number two, we're getting rid of the Chicago style dog
just to fake Mexican street dog is what it is,
l a and they can't be You're not.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Rob G when you your corn dog is a cream
style dog?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yours?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Yours? What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Rob?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
What do you mean? You people?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Well, I don't know your Caitlin Clark, your Cooper flag
flogging Cooper flogging?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
All right, Martin, I'm.
Speaker 14 (36:55):
Losing the corn dog, but I'm with Rob G the
Chicago style dog. I've been in Chicago more times than
the last two months. Haven't even thought of once about
getting a Chicago style way.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Why are you losing the corn dog then? Because I'm
over seven, thank you?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
And the only reason people buy a corn dog is
because it's on a stick so that the kid can
hold it.
Speaker 14 (37:15):
And I think when you see the through line between
the two people who vouch for corn dogs, they're in
your freezer right now, and you've had one in the
last six months.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Here's the thing about them too, I haven't. I haven't
had a corner I don't know how long. But when
you do have one, I'm not gonna lie Rob fantastically.
They kind of slap like I have I want a
corn dog. If you end double one of the circus
or something.
Speaker 14 (37:34):
You're like, I mean, you got to choose between the
yellow mac and cheese, the box mac and cheese, or
the corn dog or the chicken nugget.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
I guess the corn dog is that's the one that's
got to go.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Here's whenever, y'all, whenever you have kids, Martin. At something point, Rob,
I know you got kids somewhere. When I take them
to Disneyland, I promise you the line is the corner because.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
They want to hold on to do because they're legitimately good.
The more of the story, I want Chicago dog gotta go.
That's too much. I want to go to the American
Coney and get a rat hair dog in Detroit, Lafayette.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Lafayette still open, they reopened it, they close and reopened
all the time.
Speaker 14 (38:12):
Sneaky good hot dogs. Vancouver really Vancouver, very on the
rewist here because everybody has one. By the way, Chicago, Bagel,
Kansas City, New York, Seattle, Sonora hot Dog.
Speaker 11 (38:23):
You wanta Detroit off the chain? All Star dog, the
a W G S. I'm surprised to spell. Chicago is
too much. That's a whole meal. At that point, I
just I want to get to the dog and keep pushing. Uh,
but yeah, broad is the best, and then a cony second. Right,
we all agree on that no bro brought brought the
(38:44):

hotel room over night, bingo at the airport. They're sixteen
dollars each. It's not being cheap, it's being smart, says
Rod Parker. Now I'm looking at a reduced Goudha slide,
yep slider, and then a chicken salad croissant.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That's what most people were sick. They're like you eating
the old chicken salad.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That is what.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
You had about five hours to eat this, and you
put on here. This is how you the night before,
which manute just set up in an old fridge. I
don't know the temperature of the fridge, just hanging out there.
When you see reduced, you're supposed to eat it immediately
right then and there, Rob g you're with me. You
like to save money. He likes his stomach though, well
(02:59):
when he had one.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
I mean I like saving money, but.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Grocery store reduced. There's a limit to that.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
And two, Kay want in a ba in my backpack
and it's gonna get all moist and then I'm gonna
get on this now through the.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Flight is going through detectors and under conveyor belts and
just but it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Hadn't expired yet. It expired. You haven't expired. I'm surprised. Hey,
my stomach is good. I haven't been running to.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
The bathroom during that last break, Royder, you run in
the bathroom, So there's nothing wrong with the who expired
sandwiches is crazy?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Al can you explain how the expiration works for people
who don't know because they think if it's oh my god,
it's marked down, that means it's bad.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
That's not why it's marked out.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Oh of course, Katen, I understand. Maybe you're somebody who
lives in the limp Street of the Hills. You have
nannies and cooks and personal sheeps every day. Joe blow right.
See like me and I should be on the morning
show where the people whereof the people. We work for
the people, We grind for the people. Kateon, I mean,
I know you don't remember the Ryan. It's been so long.
You've been a team ahead. So I can respond. It's okay.
(04:04):
I know your daughter's upset you can't play golf. She
has to do tennis this summer.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And and I think, is uh, this kid who's going
to middle school forty five thousand dollars a year middle school.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That was just the daycare.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Wait, let me let me flip this conversation. Now we're
down the rabbit hole. We all parked next to each
other like fast and furious today in the parking line.
If you noticed that we did, yeah, he was first.
And I can say, and I don't think this is disrespected,
then you agree right now?
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Due.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
The car you brought today is easily the less nice.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Of the what'll do the car because you didn't bring
the big body new don't do the car?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
But I have just I have a car, okay, and
the car chose.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Rob's out here with a quarter million dollars sports car.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I wasn't going to bring it up.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
That's why I said I would let Alex cook and
let him feel like that.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
First of all, we got the drop.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Time on hundred thousand miles on it exactly.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I'm just ordinary people, like John Legend said, I'm an
ordinary aff the student, nothing more.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
The sandwich is not expos not bad. No, here's my
issue with you. You doubled the expiration.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
If you had one two separate ones a slide, what
was the slider right to seventy airport?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Rob g sixteen? I do agree with that. I can't
argue with you on that sixteen conversations.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Rob, you could have went to a deli before and
got a fresh meats and done.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You could have got the first one. Then if I
got the fresh it would probably be eight dollars. That's
okay in a good stomach. My stomach is foed.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
There's nothing wrong see the expiration date is for legal purposes.
I know that to totally get rid of stuff on shelves.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
They leave it out there. It doesn't go bad. I know.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
It's the reason why they reduced the prices is because
they're saying, instead of these sandwiches going to last another week,
they're only going to last another day.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Or they probably would last a week. It's just their
requirement for.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You have eaten so many antibodies and enzymes and all that.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right, I don't want to sell it. We want people
to come in, right like save people.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Guys on his lunch play, he came in and it's
not expired.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'm gonna buy it and it won't go bad, so
I'm don't have to.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Throw it out.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
The reason while you're trying to hang with Rob and
co signed Rob, this is the same dude who brought
to expired sandwiches with a pair of three thousand dollars
Travis Scottson, that's fine, Make that makes sense with a
Gucci belt on that was fifteen hundred Your deaf hear
bracket you have to drive a lesson?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
What about this guy?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
I get it. I'm just saying with the food, it's like,
if you look at all the food we throw away
all of it, I don't disagree. So Rob's actually smart.
He actually got two meals for four bucks exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yo.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
The greatest trick the devil ever Pool was convincing a
guesst that Rob was one of the people.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And let me tell you, the devil's name is Alex.
Right now, I.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Can't believe you know I'm a man of the people.
I'm an average Joe, the one. Since you want to
go there, let me go there? Am I right now?
Robbi Elijah, make sure you put this up.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
It's crazy man always at the airport and they, uh
this kids stop me about my Travis Scotts. Yeah, it
was crazy. I think this kid saw me when I
had my other Travis Scotts. And then he was so
it was crazy. He was like, you got the Scotts
with the Louis. This is crazy. It's a regular. And
he said something. He said something about my drip was
(07:19):
I don't even know what it means. My drip is
crazy or something. Stop it.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
And I said you should have seen my chocolate. Rolex,
Oh you shouldn't see.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
So I bought I bought my my I bought my Alex.
I bought my business partner a Rolex. What you got
to say to that you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Were with it for twenty some years, thank you, blood,
sweat and tears to build a business that's a real friend.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I brought my Rolex.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Listen, k Rob thinks internally uneat the things that I
enjoyed that I can get affordably, But when I exterially
want to enjoy myself.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Will.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Eat the things internally that might kill me.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, it's not a bad chicken salad sandwich.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'm eating here. I got my harvest bar fruits and baits,
beats and berries. Things.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Just understands about not just throwing money a sixteen dollars
a chicken salad sandwich because I'm waiting to lee get
into the airport. And the only difference is that one
that the thing doesn't have a sticker on it and
it expires in two or three days, and the one
at the supermarket expires in two or three days, but
(08:27):
it has a sticker on it.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So you just two big, huge reduced douce. How can
the sticker have an echo? That's how big the sticker was.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Let me let me tell you what team doesn't have
a sticker it is reduced. Okay, it's the LA Clippers,
and I'm here to officially tell you whoa they are
the chosen franchise in the NBA, the LA Clippers, rob G,
I want you to join us and talk about all
the players who keep coming to the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
You it might be right.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Because they have Steve Balmer like one of the richest owners. Right,
beautiful building, right, Tylu, fantastic coach.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
We talked all the time argument here, Tylu. All the time.
People say I'm always ripping on people. You never heard
me rip? Tylu. I think he's I think he's a
great coach.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Also, Kawhi Leonard is a cool superstar who's not like
over the top. People could get along and feel like
have you ever heard and all the stuff people talk about,
never heard anybody rip. I'm talking about Kawhi Leonard other
than San Antonio with the and all that, and that
(09:39):
was just what you.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Know what I mean? People message this whole world, but
Rob G, name all the.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
People that have picked the Clippers wouldn't had a chance
to go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And that's what we just saw with Bradley Beal. That's right.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Dating back to twenty nineteen. Since you mentioned since Kawhi
Leonard made the decision to sign it.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Remember, he could have gone to the Lakers with a
D it was money for him with ADM and he's
from LA. He could have picked the Lakers and had
it way easier, he probably would have two or three championship.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
More So, just here's a list of guys who have
chosen the Clippers in free agency or made their destination. Hey,
Kawhi picked them in free agency. Paul George forced the
trade to the Clippers. They say he could have went anywhere.
He said, trade me to the Clippers. James Harden forced
his way there, and just in the uh buyout market
now again buy out. Some of them worked out, some
(10:27):
of them didn't. But all of these guys could have
went anywhere for the price that they went to. Nicholas Patoum,
Reggie Jackson, John Wall, Russell Westbrook, Ben Simmons, and now
Bradley Beal.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I had no forget Brook Lopez. The Lakers wanted them.
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
He said, Oh, no, I'm going to Clippers. You disagree
with the Clippers being the chosen franchise in the NBA.
Now they have won and I'm not sitting here doing that,
but people do like the way it's set up, the organization.
It's in Los Angeles. You're the little brother. You're the
little brother, and everybody knows it, and it doesn't stop
(11:05):
people from going.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Here's my issue. Everything you just said is a fact.
Can't deny that. And you know what else is a fact.
The Clippers have been dramatically better than the Lakers for
the last ten to fifteen years. They've been much better
than the Lakers. I mean, at one point in time
they were destroying him up like thirty something games of five.
When the last forty games or something, it was crazy.
(11:27):
They've had so many iterations of them. But that's the issue.
Rob Clippers, flippers, slippers. They still clip, and the Clippers
always seem to clip. When I first moved here in
twenty eleven, that was the Chris Paul Live city here
and I was all in. I've been a massive Chris
Paul fan. He's one of my favorite players of all time.
I thought he was you know, I think he's amazing
(11:48):
and that team was so fun. Jamal Crawford went to Michigan,
as you know, well, I won't say I know him
but you see him around the way, and I was
seen him as a blast, and they were the sexy
pick to pick to win the championship for a handful
of years and they never got it done. Then they
move on and they get to Kawhi Leonard here and
they got great players on that team, and they get
Paul George. And the issue I have is it just
(12:09):
hasn't amounted to something. And to me, there's no more
excuses because of what you just meant mentioned. You have
the most the richest owner in basketball who actually cares too.
He's all in, he's invested. I like Steve Baumer. You
have a new arena. You're not in the Lakers or
the King Shadow anymore. You got your own home out
there in Inglewood. Everyone seems to enjoy it. Into a
dome seems to be popping. So you got that. You've
(12:31):
got stars. Now you keep getting guys, as you mentioned,
you got older stars, you got middling stars. You got
guys who want to come. He's from here too. You
got Brook Lopez. He could have gone to the Lakers.
They wanted them. And so you're doing all of this.
You have to win. This is to me, there's no excuse.
You've got great players, you got a great coach, you
(12:52):
got a great ownership, you got a fancy new arena.
This has to be it because my last point, Rob,
when I first moved here, I was disappointing the Clippers
because they had a chance.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Right now, if you were a twelve year old, fifteen
to sixteen.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Year old kid, you could have been a Clipper fan
because what would have happened was your parents would say, no,
we're Laker fans. But all you would have known was
bad years of Kobe and bad teams, and you'd have
been like, all I see is this. Clippers are fun,
they're exciting, Lop City, they're winning, had they won a
ring or two, and I believe they missed an opportunity
for in Los Angeles, not older heads and not the
(13:26):
vast majority, but a nice contingency of young people who
all they've known is the Lakers ain't really been that great.
The Clipper's been winning a lot. Maybe win a ringer
two with Lop City or with Kawhi, you know what
I mean. And now you got a nice fan base
that a u s you winning, and that's how you
build a fan base with young folks. You're never gonna
win anybody twenty and older. All they've known is Shaq
and Kobe Magic and so on and so forth. That
was my biggest thing. And the team that did it
(13:47):
was the Warriors. The Warriors crept in LA during those years.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Rob G.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Did you not see a bunch of kids starting to
wear Warrior jerseys? Didn't wear Lakers?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
The Lakers are bad. But that's my point. It was Steph.
It was the winning.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It was a splash brothers what they could pick step
up and he was this yeah, And that's but I'm
saying the Clippers to me, I thought they had an
amazing chance to make a little small dent over the
last ten fifteen years with the young fan base.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But but you got it. It's it's impressive on how
many people have chosen.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I agree, but do something to come up. I'm not
mad at them. Find a way to win.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven,
nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine. Are the Clippers
the new chosen franchise in the NBA? We got it
wrong here?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Are we?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Are we over hyping because we live in Los Angeles?
I think they're chosen franchise and do you expect this
Bradley Beal addition to pay off with the championship or
will it be Clippers as usual. We'll continue that conversation
next with you. It is the odd couple on a
Magic City Monday. I still taste those lemon pepper wings
(14:51):
on My goal.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Is that Wednesday? Today, it's worse of Wednesday. I let
the first one go because we had a slide. All right,
I thought it was Monday. I'm back today.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I'm like, do you do realize you were at Magic
City on Monday? I was that So what I'm thinking
of is she puts you in a trance? Boy? Put
that man? Rob Dehata lost two whole days? What day?
Is it?
Speaker 9 (15:14):
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So the worst Wednesday? I've been saying it all show.
You haven't even said anything because of the joke Magic City.
You were there, I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But then I look in your eyes and I said,
this man is serious, really really thinks I sorry the Lorian?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Did you hop?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:27):

(16:46):
just having a conversation with Clippers. You say the chosen franchise.
I say the franchise have had plenty of chances to
finally make a dent in LA and finally get the
new fan base, and they just always get close with
no cigar. I don't think they're the chosen franchise. They
have pulled a few good names. I'll give you that
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox What we got?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
How about Jay in Georgia. You're on the eye couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Jay?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Hey? What's up?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Rob?
Speaker 8 (17:12):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Kevin?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
How are you jo?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Yo?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (17:15):
Hey, Rob?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Let me go tell you.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
I was at the All Star Game last night.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Man, it was amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It was amazing, right.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Yeah, what what?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
What was it?
Speaker 10 (17:23):
That hate Aaron tribute?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Just that that was a bit.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
That was most amazing thing I ever seen.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, what if they had the seven fifteen and all
the lights and everything and then the great shot of
his widow.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
There were pretty amazing.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Oh yeah, they being all right.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
But to get back to the Clippers, I don't I'm
not really feeling the Bradley Beal thing it. I mean,
he hasn't been Bradley Beal as we know him. F's
what like twenty twenty one, so.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I don't really see how it moved to me.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
And the Clippers kind of reminded me of like my
Atlanta Sports team, how we just seen curts for some reason,
how we always choking the big moments. That's how I
always look you the Clippers. I mean, they got a
great player Kawhi, they got a great head coach and Tyler.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
But I don't know what it is, just something I
always seen.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Something that's true, and that's how I feel, Jay, You're right,
because like it doesn't make sense. They've had great teams.
I mean, the lot City teams were favored and they
got really far too. You' the Lakers won in the bubble,
thea was supposed to win. How was the year they're
supposed to one hundred percent? It's like something all they say.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
The Lakers couldn't beat them, and they got knocked up before.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The Lakers ain't been beating them for the most part
of the last ten, twelve, fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Track in Rancho, California. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Track?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 11 (18:40):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I want to tell you guys about these Clippers. Look,
I used to work for the Clippers twenty eleven. We
was all Lakers fans straight up, and I'll tell you
about the players that go there. They just want to
live under the radar. They can't live they can't live
up to the height. They'll get scrutinized. There's no hot
takes on the Clippers. There's no storylines on the Clippers.
If the Lakers got a losing record, the Clippers are
(19:02):
like the Los Angeles Anaheim Angels. Man, there is no
way that people want to come play there and for
a championship. They get in there, they go there for
the check man. Check this out. If you get someone
that comes to the Lakers, I mean, they can't even
live under the lights. Man. They can't hit a free throw.
That's how much the spotlight is on that team in LA.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I get that. There's no comparison. It's like the Yankees
and Mads and I get that, you know what I mean,
or teams where there's two teams in the city, the
Cubs in.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
The White Sox. I get all that, but.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It still says something about that organization that people still
want to mess with them. The Donald Sterling Clippers, nobody
was coming to and they had the sunshine and they
could play in La you know what I mean and
all that, and people didn't want to go there because
it was like, oh my god, why would I want
to play for that organization that they've made a big improvement,
(19:56):
that building they have If you don't go there and
look at what they've got going and Tyler and you
got a superstar, who's who's manageable?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
And like I said, Steve Balmer, I mean, it just
it's that's it's all there. It's all sitting there, and
I think there is some something new players want to be.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I can be that piece they just need me. I
can be that one piece.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
If you're a John wall you feel like I can
be that piece if I'm a Russell Westbrook, that piece
to get him over the edge. I think they've gotten
guys with that, but it just hasn't worked out.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Orlando in El Paso, Texas. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Orlando?
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Hey, good, I see you guys.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 12 (20:36):
Just the Clippers had a window and they just didn't
capitalize on it. I remember Chris Paul Blake Griff and
Dondre Jordan's what you call John Jordan's time. They had
a good team. But you know Doc Rivers with this
whole nonsense of ball. Well, I've never gotten swept. Yeah,
I fail to Houston.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That was terrible.
Speaker 12 (20:55):
I feel over a player like Chris Paul because he
didn't decide that you could tell he pour his soul, blood, sweat, tears, everything.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And he still had some bad get big games for
them too.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
And it just what it wasn't some of it was
his own health. He couldn't you know, hamstring that something
always heard or something. Thanks Orlando, appreciate the call. How
about real quick call and mobile Alabama. You're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Call?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Guys? Thanks taking my call. You're the caller just for
this one. Nailed it. I think the Clippers are that
organization where guys go and they can make money without
the pressure. It's like Brooklyn and New York. You know
Durant and uh Kyrie, they go to Brooklyn. You don't
have that pressure of like championship.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, I do too, And I'm gonna say this call
in the New York thing like people. The Knicks owner
people didn't want to go there, like they like, they
haven't been able to get anybody.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
So they thought, they know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Called like, like I hear you what there is a
different pressure between Brooklyn and playing for the Knicks. I'm
not pooh poohing what you're saying, but I'm telling you
that the Knicks owner was bad and a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Do like that is you know what I mean? To
make sure you said it was Jim Dolan. James Dolan, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:11):

to relive your couple of forty eight hours ago again,
she had you in it.

It's still choke like magic. Like, I guess this is
my first day at work, so I kind of thought,

the morning or turn my car and all.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That and get on a plane and eat a half
baked up the fish, I mean chicken salad. It was
still right, it was delicious. I haven't been to the
bathroom at all today.

That could also be a bad thing to my stomach
is not boiling.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It was so good to say, and it tasted better
because it was two dollars and seventy cents.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I think when you get a deal, the food tastes better. True,
you know, you don't have to get a deal and
everything right like you do. Sometimes you can just I
just grab a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
But it's ok.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I buy stuff full price when I really wanted it
for something I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I don't wait, I don't know that you do though, Like,
don't city you bought the wings? Yes? No, I was.
They brought the wings, I Alex.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I wasn't able to press Mayterium them down on a
better price, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I just had to a young lady so wait.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
So so technically that song wasn't That was a too
that didn't count right, that was a half right down.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
With DJ the DJ rolled into the next song. Right, No, no, no,
I'm not paying. I'm not paying for that. That's a
TikTok song. Come on, I don't want to go viral.
Oh boy? All right, so if you.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Speaking of that, My sixty five year old sister text
me today said, yeah, you're going viral on TikTok. I'm
just like, what, Like I could have never expected to
get you.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It was RG three again. Oh somehow.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I don't know what she's but I was just shocked
to get a text from her, of all people talking
about TikTok.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Thanks marian shot to Marianne. Yeah. I mean that's where
we are right now, dude. Listen.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Aunties are running social media and I have people who
my wife actually thought they were my real aunts because
I'll post something about my daughters and the other all the
niece pools and all that and numb and She's like,
who are they? Like they just watched the news, Alex,
they just watched me on Spectrum News one, and they
literally feel like they're part of the family. All right,
all right, Yeah, so we talked about the uh the
(24:49):
how great it was, right.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I was there for the tribute to hankcare and
I thought it was nice. I did not immediately go
that this was omitted or how come they didn't say this,
or uh they did it because of Trump or whatever.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
So uh yeah, let's play both clips.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
We'll play what got rob g the original one which
is Vince Sculling, which they used, and you saw it
with all the lights out and like the candles and
then the seven fifteen on the big board. I mean
it was beautiful, it really was. And then a shot
of his wife from her from behind. It was great.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
What a marvelous moment for baseball, What a marvelous moment
for at Lata and the state of Georgia. What a
marvelous moment for the country in the world a black
man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South
or breaking a record of an all time baseball idol.
Speaker 13 (25:47):
Okay and the state of Georgia a.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Country, all right, So clearly the first one longer he
touches on the race uh factor when it came to
him doing that, and you know, black man deep getting
love in the Deep South. Your thoughts you were there
now people are saying, you know, kind there was a
lot of think pieces on it afterwards.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, you did, you were you didn't you were upset with.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It at the time when I listened to it, No,
I really didn't, you know. I gotta admit, no one
talked about it like in the building, like at least
the people, and I think when you have time to
sit back and look at it, you want to dissect it.
I just thought it was really nice because obviously Hank
Aaron died and remember they lost the All Star Game
(26:42):
in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Oh yeah, twenty one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I mean I'm down there telling the players about it
or whatever, and most didn't think it was you know, like,
oh my god, what did they do to the sound
or whatever? But people have a right to listen to
the original and feel like it would have been better
(27:05):
to have the whole thing. I wouldn't be mad at
anybody if they felt that way. But I did not
feel I gotta admit I didn't feel like, oh my god,
what did they just do or you know, how could
they do that?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Like, like, I did not feel that way.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I think it was so well done that in real
time you couldn't have thought of it right, because you're like, oh,
and then lights and then oh they got the you know,
the seventh players and then the ball, you know, the thing,
the flying light thing is the ball and it was
so well done. All you're thinking of is Prava. This
(27:38):
was incredible. That's how you pay a tribute, that's how
you pay homage. That then people who maybe weren't there
can think about the whole You know what it is
when you're at a game you didn't see the commercial
or you didn't see that player.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
And I'm recording. I can show you on my phone.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I'm like recording it, and I swear I didn't go,
wait a minute, where's this?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I really didn't think. You're just in the moment in
real time. Everybody where they were there at home because
it was just so well done and it was so thoughtful.
But then when you get the pause and you know,
this is what happens when that's what seven point two
million people watching.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
And this is what people do. Though you know they
or they should have done this. Oh, Beyonce, that you
missed the hidden meanings exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Kendrick Lamar does the Super Bowl perform, but that flag
meant this and the colors of the dancers really and
you're like, oh, I thought it was just a good
dance perform and they break it down. So here's what
I thought, now that they brought it up. You go, oh, shoot,
he didn't mention that. Was it intentionally taken out? Yes,
and it says that clearly they didn't use it. Do
I think there was a sinister plot behind it. No,
(28:41):
Here's why. I think I would have felt some type
of way, and I would have made me been more
in line with the folks who brought it up had
they not shown a real big representation of African Americans
in Atlanta. If you've ever been Atlanta, you've been a
million times. I've been a million times. It is a
very strongly dominantly black environment. The mayors are black, the
(29:03):
HBCU's not all black, definitely not all black.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
But look at what they had with the marching. So
that's where I'm going. They embraced everything. And then they
had the HBC, they had Clark Atlanta out there, they
had the game.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
On Friday, which was what they could have easily said,
you know, we're going to pass on that.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
We got whitewash.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
And so that's why to me, I was telling Rob
g this if I felt as if it was the
cornfields of ile even at Atlanta or it was this,
and it was at and it was Joe Demangi on
TEP and.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Just kind of like, d're in Atlanta. Baseball embraced Atlanta's blackness.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
They embraced Atlanta's blackness, the culture, the HBCU Germaine de
Priest kind of the honorary mayor there too.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And maybe that's why I didn't feel that way at
the time, because every time I turned around and they
put a celebrity on the screen, a big screen and
with somebody black.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And so I just felt like, if I'm doing all
of that, why am I fearful of a handful of
lines that were barely here from vincecent Matt don't get
it twisted. Those lines meant a lot. And when he
said that, he said times that's incredible because late great
Vince Scully for that to do that in real time
and in an era where I'm sure people could have
(30:12):
been upset with him. But you gotta remember, oh, I'm
sure that I mean because there you mentioned that right now.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It wasn't the time of the places and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
The Braves announcer Milo, I can't remember his last name.
I don't know why I'm forgetting his name, but he
talked to he's the one who who has the call
as well, and he doesn't mention that, you know what
I mean, he's an Atlanta broadcaster. Vin Scully's doing the
national broadcast. No, he's doing the Dodgers broadcast. And that
was Vin Scully because you know they home run came
(30:39):
against the Dodgers and Al Downing.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yep, so you have to Milo Hamilton, model Hamilton. Who oh,
I should have remembered this last No, you're human, dude.
So that was my biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
What I really thought about it, I was like, dang,
that really would have brought context here we all were
in Atlanta. You got black players, and by black, I
mean also for Afro Latino and you got all this.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
But I was like, more I thought about it, I
was like, it was fully represented. Fully you saw the
kind of the Atlanta black experience. And so to me,
they were intentional with that. I kind of cut them
some slack with that. Now, had they added those two
three extra sins, it would have been the most perfect one.
They batted hit it out the park every single part
(31:19):
of the All Star weekend. If they got it this,
so I got to give him a ninety seven point eight.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And we always know that baseball and it's embracing of
Hank Aaron and you know what I mean, like they
never short change him, like like you know.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
So I think putting on this performance, putting on the
time that I think they just cut that out. Again,
it was intentional the cutout clearly, you know, if you
make a decision. But I don't think it had malice
behind it, right light, Like oh no, I think it
was like, dude, we fully have embraced it, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You could have easily like like I said, dude, if
you looked up on the big screen you think Atlanta
was all black?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
And they had a couple of shots of some like
country music people and some actors who were from you know,
Atlanta or but but minuscule compared to the big celebrities.
You saw the big commercial on Fox, it's Luda Christian.
Who's the other range? Right, like like that's just that.
That was the star commercial for the.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
All Star Game in Atlanta and that and that's why
I'm giving them a pass. And I feel as if
all right they represented in that way would have been
icing on the cake and made it perfect. Absolutely, And
you know so maybe they kind of missed with that,
but I don't think it was ill intention or malice,
malicious intention. I'd say with that as well. All right,
well the way one's gotta go, and this one is
(32:36):
baseball related, if you will.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I thought it was gonna be about the sandwich. One
sandwich gotta go, but go.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Ahead, Well you gotta go that. Absolutely, that's easy. You'll
appreciate it. You're mister ballpark. You like a good, good frank,
a good dog at the game. I had to push
the sour crows. Oh boy, I told you that joke.
They fell out.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Due hot dry and keep you guys employed.

Sit here with five of crowds?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Is that when I'm planning there even number?
Speaker 13 (34:01):
Figure it out?
Speaker 3 (34:05):
All right?
Speaker 4 (34:06):
So did you know that today is National Hot Dog Day?
Earlier on my TV show, we had some pinks hot
dogs a staple out here in LA. This was really good.
I had a chili dog. It was delicious, might I add?
So I thought to myself. I said to myself, you
know what, let's do that. So here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna list op five. Now one I'm gonna explain
a little bit because the other ones are obvious. So
(34:26):
let's start with corn dog. One of these dogs has
to go Rob Alex Martin. This is way, Robbie. I
literally read one and that is that the answer. Here
we go. So I'm gonna go corn dog, traditional dog,
just kind of your basic dog, just a traditional hot.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Dog, meat hot dog?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (34:46):
What are you talking about? That nasty way they put
on the meat, the chicken and pork and no, just
tradition like the normal just pant a beef hot dog.
Is it beef or is it just it's a Hebrew
national role. It's just you went to the Dodgers. As
you go and you get a dot.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
All right, that's a Hebrew that's right. They got to
answer to a hire a thar. They do have to,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Or you have the coney slash chili dog.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I'm gonna let you know. We've got the meat on
top a brot. I'm gonna counter brought. That's not a
hot I'm counting from. I need five. And lastly, this
one is a Chicago style you know what those are
where they put all the stuff on it.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You had to cover up the taste.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yes, so you have you've got tomatoes, you've got pickles,
big pickles too. You gotta even taste the hot dog.
And you got let us on. It's a bunch of stuff.
That's the Chicago It's like a whole meal on the dog.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
So there it is.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
You got a brot, You got a corn dog, traditional dog,
coney slash, chili or a Chicago style.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
First of all, the only hot dog to eat is
a dirty water hot dog with the natural casing, red
onion sauce and spicy brown mustard. Like that's the one.
I need baby oil after one of those, I need
baby oil. So that's that's the one that But which
one has to go?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Her?
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Easy corn dog? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 13 (36:01):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I don't know that kind of slap. Alex. Where are you?
Are you a corner guys? Dude, I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
I've never got a corn dog in my life. How
they're given to me or like they're in a freezer
to friend's house. I've never bought one, but not.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Like affair or circus or something like that. Like there's
so many better things chili, cheese, dog dog, you know,
Like all right, hey, all right, your choices, rob g.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
It's easy, and we're keeping the corn dog number one.
Number two, we're getting rid of the Chicago style dog
just to fake Mexican street dog is what it is,
l a and they can't be You're not.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Rob G when you your corn dog is a cream
style dog?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yours?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Yours? What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Rob?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
What do you mean? You people?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Well, I don't know your Caitlin Clark, your Cooper flag
flogging Cooper flogging?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
All right, Martin, I'm.
Speaker 14 (36:55):
Losing the corn dog, but I'm with Rob G the
Chicago style dog. I've been in Chicago more times than
the last two months. Haven't even thought of once about
getting a Chicago style way.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Why are you losing the corn dog then? Because I'm
over seven, thank you?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
And the only reason people buy a corn dog is
because it's on a stick so that the kid can
hold it.
Speaker 14 (37:15):
And I think when you see the through line between
the two people who vouch for corn dogs, they're in
your freezer right now, and you've had one in the
last six months.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Here's the thing about them too, I haven't. I haven't
had a corner I don't know how long. But when
you do have one, I'm not gonna lie Rob fantastically.
They kind of slap like I have I want a
corn dog. If you end double one of the circus
or something.
Speaker 14 (37:34):
You're like, I mean, you got to choose between the
yellow mac and cheese, the box mac and cheese, or
the corn dog or the chicken nugget.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
I guess the corn dog is that's the one that's
got to go.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Here's whenever, y'all, whenever you have kids, Martin. At something point, Rob,
I know you got kids somewhere. When I take them
to Disneyland, I promise you the line is the corner because.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
They want to hold on to do because they're legitimately good.
The more of the story, I want Chicago dog gotta go.
That's too much. I want to go to the American
Coney and get a rat hair dog in Detroit, Lafayette.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Lafayette still open, they reopened it, they close and reopened
all the time.
Speaker 14 (38:12):
Sneaky good hot dogs. Vancouver really Vancouver, very on the
rewist here because everybody has one. By the way, Chicago, Bagel,
Kansas City, New York, Seattle, Sonora hot Dog.
Speaker 11 (38:23):
You wanta Detroit off the chain? All Star dog, the
a W G S. I'm surprised to spell. Chicago is
too much. That's a whole meal. At that point, I
just I want to get to the dog and keep pushing. Uh,
but yeah, broad is the best, and then a cony second. Right,
