Some days your body just just like no way, no how.
And on those days, luckily there's a leave. And now
you know I'm gonna leave. God, I have to have
a leave.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Just one pill.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
A leave provides up to twelve hours of pain relief
so that it keeps you moving. Use as directed, you know,
the little blue pill.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
That's why I was making sure you start saying you
one pill, your advocate saying trying to keep up with
her is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Hey, coming up, speaking of the Lions, former Lions, Uh,
who else you want?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Rob Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, especially man. That's why I'm grumpy,
old man beef. And I'm like, y'all got some y'all
got more in common than you think. Yeah, y'all got
young things to attend to. Why y'all worried and bargaining
about each other?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
No, but the only problem is they're taking a leave
by mistake.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
That's what it is. My back feel good, but dang,
it other things ain't working all right, Loms Brown.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Live and with the Lions, all sort of giants in
Tampa Bay Puppets. You want to sup he's the best.
Does their radio broadcast, he's the color analyst. So we'll
talk with him. And one's got to go as well.
Coming up, Rob G Steph Curry does what And this
is the one thing I don't like about the NBA.
I really don't.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Was that what he did?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, what he did because it's the only league where
they do it. And I have no idea why, Like, seriously,
you you know this? No one bad mouse Babe Ruth
and says, oh he can. Yeah, but if he played now, nobody, right, nobody.
They don't do it in the NFL. Oh Jim Brown
couldn't play now? Or only in the NBA. Is there
(03:09):
a situation where people are always bashing the older players
to tell you how great they are? But anyway, Steph
Curry joined.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
The chorus real quick before you go, I think I
want to offer the why, Rob.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think it's easier because Babe Ruth is so he's
almost mythological, almost like he never even played.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
He's just so like a godlike figure in baseball.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think in football we don't know who the definitive
best player is, so I do who Jim Brown or
Lawrence Taylor. I'm with you on those two. To me,
but Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor, you got Tom Brady got
Jerry Right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Jim Brown, I'm saying Jim Brown or Lawrence Taylor on
my list, but right, But I'm saying some people would
say that.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Some people might say it's a quarterback another one like
Joe Montenner. So it's hard to like argue about something.
Whereas basketball, I think what has made things so much
easier is Jordan Na Kobe, Jordan lebron on and it's easier.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Than Kobe's really a conversation well.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Nowadays you ask people Kobe's a lot of people's go
So I think it just makes it for easier fodder
because you can do that.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's hard to be like Ted Williams or you know.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I mean, the last guy hit four O six. I
never heard anybody say Ted Williams camp.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's what I'm saying. Nobody.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's harder to like arguing debate those things. I just
think it happens a lot more these I know, and
I'm agreeing. I'm just wondering. I think that might be
why it's easier to debate who's the best more than
any other sport.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Well, here, I thought you were upset because Steph Curry
is doing media rounds and he's on the Today Show
and out the odd couple.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That's what I thought you were upset about.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
We don't want Steph Curry wants somebody's gonna say something.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Well, speaking of saying something, just go ahead say no.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
What he was about to call us like, hey, we're
about to see y'all want to do Friday.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Show Steph again making the media outs to promote his
new book, of course on the Today Show. Of course
they're not going to ask him any real questions. It's
like when Rob was promoting the year in eighty Mouse book. Yes,
he went on Bernie Fratto's podcast, he went on Fred
Rogan's radio show, he went on Doug at Least podcasts.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It was such a big.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
But yes, step was over Todation for voting his new
book and they were asking about the impact he's out
of the league since he's come in, And here's what
he said about where the league is now and how
it compares two years past.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I was also about wise man when I was getting
into the league, like you want to leave the league
in a better place than when you found it. And
I think just the way that you see the skill
level right now, the way that the range just kind
of taken over and got to shoot threes all over
the court, but just from one through five and all
the way down the roster, I think this is the
most skilled, you know, era of basketball history. And so
(05:40):
whether that was you know, young kids in the game
now seeing you know, my generation the way that I
play and getting inspired by that like that for me
is important in something I don't take for granted.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I don't buy it in the sense that, yes, maybe
if you're talking about fifteen man roster, maybe twelve through
fifteen or more skilled than the twelve through fifteen in.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The eighties and the nineties. I'll give you that.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I will give you there as somebody on the bench
in street clothes, who if I took that guy in
the street clothes, guy from eighty six, he would cook
him up.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I'll give you that.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
But where I think people getting this whole thing misconstrued
is this is the era and we've talked about this, Rob.
This is the personal trainer era. This is the I
don't just go play and try to play ball. And
who this is that got to have a personal trainer
to work haha. High step back, step back, Hi, high
step back, step back, step back. And to me, okay, yeah,
you might have a step back better than somebody eight nine.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know what they had better then?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
They knew how to win, they knew how to made
basketball plays, they knew how to play with the team,
they knew how to play within a system. And I
think that's one of the things I will get misconstrued.
I'm not saying all these guys can. Obviously, Steph is
one of the greats, and if you look at current
guys LEBRONI, but I'm looking at to me, yeah, okay,
yes there's a handle, Yes there's a again an ability
to do euro step or something as if the eurostep
(06:54):
didn't happen back then. I don't buy that it equates
to better backs basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
That's my biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I don't watch basketball me and you just did our
first whole postseason run in the playoffs, and I don't
believe I watched better basketball than I did in previous
DearS or eras. I don't buy that at all. I
watch guys and I'm confused sometimes. Do you not see
the open man? Did you not see the back cut?
Why would you take that shot? And just because I
got a six foot ten dude who can shoot threes,
(07:23):
who's allowed to shoot more threes, that doesn't mean he's better.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I tell you this all the time. Rob.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
If I told Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Chauncey Phillips, you know, Detroit,
you're allowed to shoot eighteen threes tonight, and we wouldn't
better eye. I don't know what those guys would have had.
I told Isaiah Thomas, Mark Price, the other guy, you
can shoot twenty threes a night, and we literally wouldn't
even think twice. Well, then yeah, he might look even
more skilled. And let me also offer you this. Everybody
(07:49):
keeps talking, you know, and I don't believe everybody believes it.
But you get the whole Plumber joke about back in
the day, and I start thinking, I'll say, man, when
I look at Magic Johnson highlights, I ain't seen nothing
like it since name the guy. If I showed you, though,
who's that skilled to do that? Michael Jordan. We talk
about him every day on day just about I still
haven't seen that. I've seen people try, never seen that.
So the idea that just simply because guys spend more
(08:11):
time with personal trainers and they work on this and
work on that, are they more skilled? Okay, maybe the
last few dudes on the team. But the idea that
it is better basketball, It's better aesthetically, it's better from
a high quality standpoint. That part I don't agree and
I don't think when I watch games now that in
most of the games, not all, that it's a better
brand of basketball than the year's previous.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I don't agree with that portion of it.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
For me, I don't agree with it at all. I
just think this is typical. That was Steph patting himself
on the back that because of him shooting logo threes
he's made everybody better and everybody wants to be like
him and he's revolutionized basketball.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
The reason he's had success is because of.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
The rule changes, the spacing that people have, the idea
that you can't defend anybody, touch anybody.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That makes for an easier game. It just does.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You talk about players all the time and they'll tell you.
It's easy to school all the European players say, dude,
are you kidding.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I'll come here and be like, wait, this is the
NBA physically from a physical standard way.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There's there's nothing here, like really, I can't even put
my hand, I can't even touch you.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Sure the skills better. I have a free path, I
can just drive. Yes, what what? What? What part of that?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And I'm with you. I just don't. I don't see
it at all. I don't buy into it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I think this is just players thinking because they're in
better shape and they wear a better.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Snacks and all that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I'll give you that and all that that they're that
somehow they were better. I would beg to difference say
that what they were able to do during that time
wearing sneakers without arches and taking trains.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
In fact, I when I covered the NBA, they flew
commercial right, Yeah, seventh footer sitting in coach. You're no
first class C seventh footer. That a squeeze in that.
That is what went on and had to play. We
were on the first flight out because in those days
in the winter, you couldn't take the two o'clock to
(10:20):
get to the game.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
You gotta get on a six thirty.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
In case there's snow or ice and that fight gets canceled,
you got.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
To catch the next one. So we were always on.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The first flight six point thirty from Milwaukee to Detroit
or wherever it is.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And that's what those players had to deal with.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's totally different, but skill wise to just say because
it's easier to score now and they have the benefit
of the new spacing where they have a room to
work and I physically can't touch you. There's a lot
of stuff that goes in there, and these guys continue
to bash the players who played. And I'm with you.
(11:00):
If those guys were playing today and they had all
of these other things.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
If you think Michael Jordan would have been a hell
of a three point shooter, you have no idea of
the skill or if Isaiah Thomas couldn't be touched, or
what those guys had to go through them. Are all
those guys sure they would? Those are all time greats.
And here's the other thing. Now, you got one one
(11:25):
and a half players maybe on those days. Go back
and look at the teams where you're talking about bird Magic,
I mean Bird John right like right there and then
and then you would go and look at some of
these other teams with players that they had. Everybody had
like two or three really good players and it wasn't
as many players and all that. I just I think
(11:48):
the league is way watered down. It's probably six teams
that don't really need to be around and sixteens full
of players who probably aren't NBA players. And look at
where they even are in the draft. They don't even
they don't have two round Like, there aren't that many
great players.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And I'll add this too. I still and Rob g
you're a big hoop guy, and Rob you mccovern the
league for years, since nineteen eighty six, since nineteen seven.
I look at this and I tried, and I really
try to not be the old get off my long guy,
and I'm really looking at this. I Kyrie is arguably
one of the most talented we've ever seen. So there's
always gonna be Steph is up there. We got a
(12:23):
handful of guys. But like I see a lot of
guard play from the early two thousands that I don't
see nowadays, Like I see it a lot everybody, oh,
every being more skilled today. I'm like, I don't see
a lot of Baron Davis's, Steve Francis, Stephan Malberry like
guards that were just crazy and shoot, dribble, pass, jump
(12:44):
out the gym. I'm like every Alan Iverson, like everybody
just I'm like, hold on now again, just because you
have some of your moves that you spending your trainer
and you've worked on your personal game since you were
ten twelve years old. Back in the day, it was
more so you played basketball and worked on team and
you understood the fundamentals of how to win. You know,
I don't think it just automatically means you're more skilled.
(13:05):
So that's my biggest thing is people just automatically saying
it just simply because you know, a random center, yeah,
and Aaron redor shape and a random center might be
able to dribble.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But then'm like, yeah, that doesn't mean he can win.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
And we all sit up here in the last handful
of years to complain about the quality of the game.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
We complain about what we're witnessing, what we're seeing. How
why everybody talks about it?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You know that.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Seventy threes and again it's like, that's it. So that
made you better that I get to go, ooh, it's
so much better. Why is the game so bad? Yeah,
it's inefficient and so that that's my biggest thing. Yes,
Steph is an outlier, meaning you're one of the you're
one of them ones. Kyrie is one of the ones,
you know, Luca. But again, those international guys, they often
learn how to play the game, like how to play basketball,
(13:51):
not just simply you know, work on a drill over
and over and over again to put on YouTube and
face and uh, you know, Twitter and TikTok and all that.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
All right eight.

Rob Steph Curry essentially said he believes the game is
left in a better place for him and his generation,
his era of players, and that they're even more skilled
now than ever. Rob and I completely disagree. Eight seven,
(16:04):
seven ninety nine On Fox, What do you guys say?
Who we got Chili? Tim in Atlanta? You're on the
Odds Couples Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Rob?
Speaker 9 (16:14):
Kelby? Hey, real quick before I go get my point? Uh,
you guys think it was last week Kelby, Rob g
and Mary with like I'm here for this man. You
guys had me craign I was on the floor trying
to walk up my steps store. Is that right about
Rob Parker?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (16:31):
You gotta go down here there, Rob. You know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Rob, I'm trying to remember what do we say?
Speaker 10 (16:37):
You were saying?
Speaker 9 (16:38):
Like Mary is like, yeah, if you if you have
nightgown or slippers or something like that, I'm here for this.
You guys are doing this about Rob Parker and everything
is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
You know what, as long as you love the chilli,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's all that matters.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
But I'm stilling rob G Like I mean, I personally
hate Steph Perry and this is one reason why I
hate Steph carry now like us the word hate. I
just kind of despise like his attitude about says. I
think he gets a pass on a lot of stuff
personated other guys that would be. But you think about
in the NBA, guys like Deatlas Shrimp, I think it
(17:13):
was murky to play Rich Smith. Those guys to be
like superstars in the NBA now that they played today,
you know, but they couldn't break through back and then
because they had to compete against such skilled players, you know.
And I think that's the testament too to how easy
it is for international players just to walk into the
league now and win the MVPs and take over the
(17:36):
league where those guys are talented back then, but they
just couldn't over.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
That's a great point.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
You got a Marshall owners Dejdano Rajah obviously cool coach.
You had some bone them. You had a bunch of
guys Debtlin Scrimp. I mean you had a really lighte
group of young guys AK forty seven.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
You know what, I'll tell you a guy who probably
wishes that he was drafted now then back then dark
old and.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
His style of play. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Was not Larry Brown wasn't having no big guy the
perimeter shooting three seriously.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And that's a he probably not that he would be
I think we know what. I'm just saying that that's
his game would be the the style of player. That's
a good point. That's good point.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Uh, Leo in New York City, you're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
What's up, Leo?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Well, guys, I hope the walk behind you, guys is silent.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Because I need to push that go ahead, push back.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
Because we always you guys are talking about their new generation,
always trashing the old one. But the thing is old
generation has always been plaining and talking talking about the
new guy or in that in our.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
Ever you wouldn't do this, we would do this to you,
we will do that to you.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
And every time we turn to this perspective and as in, oh,
the old guys didn't have this and he didn't have that,
you always tried to diminish what you guys coming to
doing what they're doing. Were if this guy has that,
if this guy has this need to have trouble is
to have the speaker, the technology, they would have done
this and that. Sure, maybe they would have done it,
(19:06):
maybe they would.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Diminish what you guys know what I'm doing, all right?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Moto' Leo? So Leo, So I get what you're saying.
But are you telling me this is a this is
a skilled and better brand of basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Leo? No, No, we dumbed him. I'm good.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I love it's on site with Alex and Leo. We
already know that trashed them one time on trash talk.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It was like three years ago. I didn't let it go.
I went through trash Alexe. I know, Leo? Why what
did you just turn your radio off? Leo? What did
he trash? How did you sound like me? Yeah? I
don't know who.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
You're passionate and I'm gonna passionately say Leo. Go ahead
and listen to the Petty Walk King of a Decade.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Hey, rob G, were getting some comments on.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, we got the comments getting hot and heavy on
the live YouTube stream.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Here's a couple of them. I think you got there.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
We got Clay g who says, if it wasn't for Katie,
Steph would only have two rings? Would I have two rings?
This generation of NBA player have no respect for people
that paved the way for them. It started off with
Lebron as the leader.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
And you know what, I love that because KD is
the mid range game, you know what I mean, not
the Steph Curry. Steph Curry choked down a championship up
three to one.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Well, Kevin Durant, when we're talking about skill, I mean
he might be top five skilled of all time. Kevin
rant Is. I have nothing to say about his offensive game. Like,
the dude is seven foot and then you've been next
to him before. He ain't six ten or whatever. Listen,
he's at least six fifteen and he only weighs fifteen pounds.
But dude is absolutely skilled. I remember seeing him his
(20:36):
rookie year in Detroit. I couldn't believe how skinny he is. Yeah,
you're like I was like.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I was shout, you're a professional athlete and nice.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
So y'all don't have much. One more quick one. This
is double dipper. Sean and Zacramando is also on the
live stream. Shuwing of course, put to get in on
the radio show because we're so jammed up with calls,
so he decided to hit us on the stream. Says
best shooting era, but worst defensive era of all time.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Remember, but why is it the best shooting era, Sean?
Just because I can shoot. But here's the other party.
This will make you laugh.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
This generation also thinks PG thirteen is the most skilled
hooper of all time.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah he's nice, but hey, real quick, Obi in Los Angeles,
you're in the couple of Fox Sports where let's get
Obi in there.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
What's happening, my man?
Speaker 10 (21:14):
How you doing? Guys?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (21:15):
What's again? Yes, as far as far as the guard
play goes, I think the god player has been changed
because his positions position is basketball. It's ruined the point
guard position. And if you think about a guy like
Rashid Wallace, would you rather have Rashid Wallace or a
d I.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Mean, come on, give me of course.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
Okay, So I mean so this old generation new generations
is kind of nonsense. I mean, I don't know, but
thank you guys for taking a call. You guys are
great as always.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
That would appreciate Oby.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And that's a great point, Rashie Wallace because of the
way he played, like and you know this, you recovering it.
I'm gonna fit in with this team, Rashee Wallace. Now
we'll talk about what he would do in his air,
shooting threes, if it range, turn around blocking shots I
used to watch with Shee pregame.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
He would take. He'd have a ball in both hands.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I remember, right, both hands from like mid court and
shoot them boom boom, and knock them both in another
scept with different hands, not this shooting hand, one in his.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Right hand, one his left hand. I used to say, guys,
incredible dude.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
People understand like that dude, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, these
dude the center, these power forward. The skill level was
so high.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Man. Anyway, don't get me start again. We'll mess around
to do a whole nother segment on this. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:36):

Final Edition for years?

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Lomas is a great dude.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Are we ready now?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I used to know we're getting Lomas in the second.
I used to used to watch y'all, oh.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
No Sports Final and I'll be like with Katrina Hancock
when she was doing it, or Jamie lid Jitmans.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, Jamie at that time, that was great, favorite station
that you were in Detroit. I'm putting you on blasts.
What that I worked for ABC wd IV which one.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I worked for d IV for twenty years. Yeah, has
got to be dah.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
That was that was that was that was you know
how you have a station? That was my kind of
my default station back then. Rob G's getting Lomas, I'm sure,
as you mentioned, of course, former offensive tackle for the Lions.
So we'll get to the Lions kind of what happened
in week one to beat down from the Packers and
then also how they moved forward into week two, what
expects to do against the Bears back home in Detroit.
What he's going to expect there from them, So we'll
(24:27):
get him. No, Lomas, no, UMAs, you better be texting
you right now.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
What'd you do? Rob Lomast was your man? All of
a sudden? No, you don't want to come on the show?
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Is it because you didn't want to go to his
birthday party? With Rodney pet I went to his birthday party?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
What you what you done?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Did with with Lomas? One of the nicest human beings
to walk to Earth.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
He heard the opening segment You've ripping Dan Campbells show again?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Per yeah, per his job. He can't come on if
it's gonna be all that bashing Lomas. Yeah, I almost
don't care, but I know, well, we'll try to get
him in a minute. Until we get him, we can
switch gears a little bit. Getting back to some of
these NFL conversations, is there an update one of the
ones we were talking about too?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Tigers are up to nothing, Let's just keep it quick.
When Tiger just got a two run knock two nothing?
Tigers over the yank?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
What color was the guy who got the RB? I, Rob,
what do you mean?
Speaker 10 (25:17):
What?
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Bront?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Look, I don't see color. It's not Judge, Cody. That
was actually classic. I'm not gonna lie to you, Roy,
and I'm glad you tube got to see it. That
was classic, Aaron Judges, that's not what I told you that.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
You know, I keep telling you. We got it on tape. Now, Aaron,
I'm a report. I'm not ruining. But if Judge I
stood up on.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
This table, Rober, you've never seen me do that. No, No,
they've never seen you do it. Because when YouTube wasn't rolling,
I sit next to you, I've seen it. You've never
seen me jump on the table because of Aaron Johnes Wait,
talk to me, go talk talk to me for ten second.
Let me show you what you do, I'm gonna be
Rob Parker. You be getting ready to go. I'm not
even looking. That's what you We're sitting here in the
most intense conversation, and I just think they need to
(26:04):
do this, and the Lakers need to do that, and
the and the Warriors, and it's what you do with
Aaron Judge goes up.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Just turn it all the way like this.
Speaker 12 (26:12):
I don't turn them around. The TV's in front of me. No,
it's not that one. And you turn all the way
around because you put the leak right here, right, it's
all peripheral. So I can just have a Yankee dome.
What what's wrong with you guys?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Because we love it, because we love to let the
people know. And now blame Elijah because he puts seventy
two cameras in here and now we get to see it.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And what did you do the Lumbas? Matter of fact,
what did you do the Lomas Rock? Do you do anything?
We were texting earlier, it was all did you tell
them this Wednesday? Wednesday? I told him today.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Sometimes you know, like people get in the area's phones
that the message goes straight that is going straight to
voice mail.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
No, it's ringing were getting this, he might have fell out,
he might have took it. He left us on red.
All right, I will switch gears, saying the NFL, what's
up with the Who's more that one?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
For you?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Who's more cursed?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
When it comes to injuries, it seems like the forty
nine Ers or the Clippers, my goodness, they can't. Neither
one of those teams can stay healthy and get it right.
Because now Rock Party Rob g Wright is expected to
be out.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Expected to be out this weekend and potentially moving forward
with that toe injury.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
You got Kiddle out.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Now we already know Christian McCaffrey his cav is hanging
on by a thread.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I mean, I'm looking at them, like, dude.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The only difference is, at least the forty nine Ers
have made it to the Super couple times.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Clippers are still.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Trying to get there, and it's it's a shame, and
injuries are a part of it. But you do wonder
about all the stuff and injuries and stuff. I mean,
it does seem like it happens to certain teams all
the time, and other teams get to go through almost
scott free, where people are good and healthy and ready
to play.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm looking at their schedule. We'll talk a little
bit more about it next home, so I won't fully indulge,
but there's a little hope I think, given all of
this for them, we'll get into a next hour. But
but I'm just like, my goodness, there's certain teams and
franchises where you just feel like.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah, I'm not moving for anyone to get fired. Never
other than Rob always people to get fired.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I don't don't root for him. I'm just giving you
the facts. No jaw Hagwall should be fired today. I
mean no, no, no. The worst one since we've been
doing our show is Andy Reid. That was crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I was right. So I say that to say I
looked it up. The Niners head strength and conditioning coach,
Dustin Perry, has been the head man there for six
seasons eight total with the franchise. Again, I don't want
to be fired, but at what point do you reconsider
his job and say, hey, but they do that, you
would have don't hurt basically every year for the last
(28:45):
four years.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
But you know what they do do that.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You've seen that strength and conditioning staff because they can't
get people on are healthy or it's just so much
going on.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I've seen it.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You know, it was the opposite and if you guys,
it's kind of, you know, a stretch. But if you remember,
he got a lot of fame and pub over the
last twenty years or so, the strength and conditioning coach
from the Phoenix Suns. Yes, that guy, he got the
I think the white guy with dreads and so he
had a certain look. He was kind of a buff
dude too, but he all of a sudden became the
guy because people were going there and they're like, what's
(29:14):
in the water in Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
They're coming out they're healthy. Grand uh.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He got the best of Steve Nash before he would
break down afterwards. Remember he was had issues early and
was fine for some years for the most part. And
they talked about a lot of people went there and
got healthy and were at their best, the strongest in Phoenix.
And that guy, to your point, instead of being fired,
he got heralded. He was like recruited other people because
people were going there and getting right and getting healthy.
So all right, well let's do this, we'll ray. We
(29:41):
got ones got to go coming up. And it's an
addition of something that has been driving me crazy. Happening,
and I think he's happened everybody, but especially even in
the Washington household, and I'm sick of it.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I want to end. So one's got to go.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
We'll do that and if we get Lomas Brown again
at some point, maybe we'll get back to him.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
If not, it's all good.
Speaker 4 (29:57):

That when I'm planning here?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Fun even number figure it out, all right, the cyber
ones gotta go.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
We have some fun conversations. Sometimes it's tired and what
was happening in the sports world. Sometimes it's not, And
this time it is not, and that one goes to
uh because if you can see it, dang it, Rob,
you only person can probably see it. Dang, I got
a big, old, huge I don't know if it's a
spider bite on my arm, and it caught my leg too.
We got some spider that got me within all of
a sudden California. When I moved here, you've probably feel
(31:23):
the same way. One of the great releafs coming from
the Midwest was there weren't a lot of mosquitos here.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
All of a sudden, mosquitoes are going crazy.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
And then because it's been hot, my daughter's in and
out the door, leaving flies in the house. So it
started to think one's gotta go insect rachnophobia, whatever addition,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
This is easy. You don't even know the list? Okay?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Ants, okay, spiders, flies, mosquitoes, and bees.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
One has got to go. They're all terrible or you know,
or useful.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
What could you excuse me ants on that list without
putting uncles.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I just don't even understand it.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
This man is back on the comedy Flappers right now
in Burbank. Haha, that one bad, though, I get it.
I get credit for that one. No, I'm thinking this
is the first ever. I thought it wasn't that bad,
and he did like Rob's done better. That was a
nice way to butter it up with a compliment on
the back end. All right now, Alex you Bree, Elijah
(32:26):
you're who? Yes you Elijah?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Rob G? Rob Who we got? Ants?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Spiders, flies, mosquito, bees, they can all be annoying and
hurtful and painful and just frustrating at times in our lives.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
One's gotta go. Who wants to start, Brie, rob G,
I'll start.
Speaker 9 (32:46):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Mosquitos one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Mosquitoes.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
I get bit all the time. I want them all extinct,
forever gone.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Mosquitos got you. I don't think they bite me. I
don't know if they're into dork meet see.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Alex now even't got them on front.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
I even got him on fire as a delegate of
the dark community, dark meat.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Community, I feel you on that.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Yeah, well, I don't know easy for you? Which one
this is easy? Would you like to listen in or
you know?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
No? Bees? I'm not into the bees. I'm not into bees.
This might be the first time, Alex, you have lost Alex.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
I don't think I can protect anymore. Ron what out
of that entire list, those are the only ones that
have forgne we would die, I know.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
But I don't know what Colina I understand. But we're
not about to get into the system. And we're talking
about who I annoying. If a bee comes near me,
a mosquito?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Would you run like you did with the rat when
we were in New Orleans? That what the rat was?
The size of it? But it was Dad, Alex. It
was this big. I mean that disgusting. You see this
on YouTube? It was this.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
The best part about it YouTube is that Rob g knows.
Rob never saw it. He's just ran. The lady goes
hey fellas watch out for the rat and it just
takes out to the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I'm like, oh, I don't want to see it. I
don't want to. I don't know. You didn't even look.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
She said, Oh, gentlemen, and then watch out for the
red That man she gotta say that. You read a
four to seven easy, easy, brutal. All right, rob z
where you at?
Speaker 5 (34:19):
This one is not that easy for me because if
I was worried about my daughters, I would say mosquitos.
But they don't really mess with me that much. So
move that down the bench. She can get bid all
she wants. I'm good. The one that I don't mean
that I'm just kidding. The one Steven Robins like that
got dark quick. The one that really bothers me. And
it's because I have no idea, like what makes them
(34:43):
appear and what doesn't make them appear is ants.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
What ants don't bother you, they do bother you.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Because there'll be times where I'll leave food out and
nothing happens. There'll be times where I'll clean it up,
wipe down the table, and there's like five ans circling something,
circling nothing, by the way, because they're Stu, So I
wish I could understand what led to them coming in
and out, and then I'd be more inclined to be
I'll give.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Me the answer like harmless.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
The answer for me is ants as because I'll give
you with Squito's hurt right, they bite you, but they're
kind of seasonal, they kind of go away.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Answer.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
The issue with ants, to rob G's point is sometimes
it's four or five, sometimes it's four or five hundred,
and they freak my girls out. My daughters, they start screaming,
and then you get a hold, you can get a
trail of them ants. And also answer living in California,
they come out to answer your question, Robgie, is because
when it's really hot, they're trying to get inside. When
it's really rainy, they want to get inside, and then
(35:39):
obviously something sweet or food related they want to get
some of that. So ants are annoying. I thought about
some other one spiders. They're too infrequent to really is like,
you know, you don't see them as often and they
mostly key to themselves. Yeah, well except my arm bees
don't overly bother me as much, and then they make honey,
so they're down with me. I gotta have honey every
day and then flies. Now, flies might be second for me,
believe it or not. If they flies, if they have
(36:02):
a fly swatting contest, I'm telling you, I'm finishing at
least third, Matt like I'm getting I'm getting the medal.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Alex, where are you? I'm disappointed in all of you
besides bareem. Hold on, let me think, Alex. Hold on,
don't answer yet, Alex. So we know them.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Bees have to because you and the honeycombs are the
systems of the polypical nation industry. So we understand that flies,
it has to be flies.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
No, flies are the cleaners of the world. They take
care of all the decaying, rotting food, flash, animals, et cetera.
That's what maggots do. They clean up everything for us.
So mosquitos did for you. They do nothing. I'm almost
one hundred percent certain they never existed. They lied about
the Mesozoa era and made them think that they were
back with dinosaurs and Jurassic parks, and we would agree
with them. I'm one hundred percent, and I believe Bill
(36:44):
Gates made them. And it's just to bite us and
to make us sick like that stuff is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
What do they do? They literally do nothing. Haven't you
seen Jurassic Park? Yeah? I did. It's fake. It's real.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
It's a fake movie. You've told me before. They can't
make They don't have original ideas in Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
It's all in fact. Yeah, and then they get ideas.
Park is fake? Yeah it is, so what do They're
not real?
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Okay, it's Truely, I like a good conspiracy. I'm conspiracy.
It's a true So what are the fossils that we
go to a museum and ask them if I could
test one of their bones? They'll say no because it's
made a chicken bone. Well no, they're going to say
it because they're gonna be like we already don't put
it up here and pretice last last, did we land
on the moon?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
You really want to go there?
Speaker 7 (37:25):
No, come on, I'm gonna touch that because rob I
know it's okay, but I'll say this. Our internet is
wires under the ocean. So are we really going up
under the ocean. That's what our internet is. It's wires
in the ocean.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Tea. Yeah, if all goes to mosquitoes? Is that what
You're on the same.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Page now when you're going this when you go on
your rest. Sometimes you know, we've been knowing each other
for years now, I'm rich you. Sometimes sometimes you lose
me and I keeps not and yet like I know
what I don't. I'm like, yeah, I get it because
your lady is she in the she do you lose
her to or those people?
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Okay, so most people get lost? Are you lost? So
I'm still lost? I'm trying to be found. So everything
we're doing is not real?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Right?
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Is this radio show real?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
The fake?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
That goes down to the concept of a masking? Is
this radio show real? What if we want it to be?
Speaker 10 (38:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Is this what we're happening or not?
Speaker 7 (38:18):
That somebody hit the X Files somebody, I mean, in
like one hundred years from now, they could say it
wasn't So it's not real.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Well he ain't.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Hey like their wires underneath the show is their wires
underneath the show. He ain't lying about what they could
say in a hundred years because we are making things
that happen clearly happen to go away and not exists.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Were changing history as we speak. How did his phone ring?
Who's calling him that

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Hey, coming up, speaking of the Lions, former Lions, Uh,
who else you want?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Rob Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, especially man. That's why I'm grumpy,
old man beef. And I'm like, y'all got some y'all
got more in common than you think. Yeah, y'all got
young things to attend to. Why y'all worried and bargaining
about each other?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
No, but the only problem is they're taking a leave
by mistake.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
That's what it is. My back feel good, but dang,
it other things ain't working all right, Loms Brown.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Live and with the Lions, all sort of giants in
Tampa Bay Puppets. You want to sup he's the best.
Does their radio broadcast, he's the color analyst. So we'll
talk with him. And one's got to go as well.
Coming up, Rob G Steph Curry does what And this
is the one thing I don't like about the NBA.
I really don't.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Was that what he did?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, what he did because it's the only league where
they do it. And I have no idea why, Like, seriously,
you you know this? No one bad mouse Babe Ruth
and says, oh he can. Yeah, but if he played now, nobody, right, nobody.
They don't do it in the NFL. Oh Jim Brown
couldn't play now? Or only in the NBA. Is there
(03:09):
a situation where people are always bashing the older players
to tell you how great they are? But anyway, Steph
Curry joined.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
The chorus real quick before you go, I think I
want to offer the why, Rob.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think it's easier because Babe Ruth is so he's
almost mythological, almost like he never even played.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
He's just so like a godlike figure in baseball.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think in football we don't know who the definitive
best player is, so I do who Jim Brown or
Lawrence Taylor. I'm with you on those two. To me,
but Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor, you got Tom Brady got
Jerry Right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Jim Brown, I'm saying Jim Brown or Lawrence Taylor on
my list, but right, But I'm saying some people would
say that.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Some people might say it's a quarterback another one like
Joe Montenner. So it's hard to like argue about something.
Whereas basketball, I think what has made things so much
easier is Jordan Na Kobe, Jordan lebron on and it's easier.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Than Kobe's really a conversation well.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Nowadays you ask people Kobe's a lot of people's go
So I think it just makes it for easier fodder
because you can do that.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's hard to be like Ted Williams or you know.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I mean, the last guy hit four O six. I
never heard anybody say Ted Williams camp.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's what I'm saying. Nobody.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's harder to like arguing debate those things. I just
think it happens a lot more these I know, and
I'm agreeing. I'm just wondering. I think that might be
why it's easier to debate who's the best more than
any other sport.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Well, here, I thought you were upset because Steph Curry
is doing media rounds and he's on the Today Show
and out the odd couple.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That's what I thought you were upset about.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
We don't want Steph Curry wants somebody's gonna say something.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Well, speaking of saying something, just go ahead say no.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
What he was about to call us like, hey, we're
about to see y'all want to do Friday.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Show Steph again making the media outs to promote his
new book, of course on the Today Show. Of course
they're not going to ask him any real questions. It's
like when Rob was promoting the year in eighty Mouse book. Yes,
he went on Bernie Fratto's podcast, he went on Fred
Rogan's radio show, he went on Doug at Least podcasts.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It was such a big.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
But yes, step was over Todation for voting his new
book and they were asking about the impact he's out
of the league since he's come in, And here's what
he said about where the league is now and how
it compares two years past.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I was also about wise man when I was getting
into the league, like you want to leave the league
in a better place than when you found it. And
I think just the way that you see the skill
level right now, the way that the range just kind
of taken over and got to shoot threes all over
the court, but just from one through five and all
the way down the roster, I think this is the
most skilled, you know, era of basketball history. And so
(05:40):
whether that was you know, young kids in the game
now seeing you know, my generation the way that I
play and getting inspired by that like that for me
is important in something I don't take for granted.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I don't buy it in the sense that, yes, maybe
if you're talking about fifteen man roster, maybe twelve through
fifteen or more skilled than the twelve through fifteen in.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The eighties and the nineties. I'll give you that.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I will give you there as somebody on the bench
in street clothes, who if I took that guy in
the street clothes, guy from eighty six, he would cook
him up.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I'll give you that.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
But where I think people getting this whole thing misconstrued
is this is the era and we've talked about this, Rob.
This is the personal trainer era. This is the I
don't just go play and try to play ball. And
who this is that got to have a personal trainer
to work haha. High step back, step back, Hi, high
step back, step back, step back. And to me, okay, yeah,
you might have a step back better than somebody eight nine.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know what they had better then?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
They knew how to win, they knew how to made
basketball plays, they knew how to play with the team,
they knew how to play within a system. And I
think that's one of the things I will get misconstrued.
I'm not saying all these guys can. Obviously, Steph is
one of the greats, and if you look at current
guys LEBRONI, but I'm looking at to me, yeah, okay,
yes there's a handle, Yes there's a again an ability
to do euro step or something as if the eurostep
(06:54):
didn't happen back then. I don't buy that it equates
to better backs basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
That's my biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I don't watch basketball me and you just did our
first whole postseason run in the playoffs, and I don't
believe I watched better basketball than I did in previous
DearS or eras. I don't buy that at all. I
watch guys and I'm confused sometimes. Do you not see
the open man? Did you not see the back cut?
Why would you take that shot? And just because I
got a six foot ten dude who can shoot threes,
(07:23):
who's allowed to shoot more threes, that doesn't mean he's better.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I tell you this all the time. Rob.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
If I told Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Chauncey Phillips, you know, Detroit,
you're allowed to shoot eighteen threes tonight, and we wouldn't
better eye. I don't know what those guys would have had.
I told Isaiah Thomas, Mark Price, the other guy, you
can shoot twenty threes a night, and we literally wouldn't
even think twice. Well, then yeah, he might look even
more skilled. And let me also offer you this. Everybody
(07:49):
keeps talking, you know, and I don't believe everybody believes it.
But you get the whole Plumber joke about back in
the day, and I start thinking, I'll say, man, when
I look at Magic Johnson highlights, I ain't seen nothing
like it since name the guy. If I showed you, though,
who's that skilled to do that? Michael Jordan. We talk
about him every day on day just about I still
haven't seen that. I've seen people try, never seen that.
So the idea that just simply because guys spend more
(08:11):
time with personal trainers and they work on this and
work on that, are they more skilled? Okay, maybe the
last few dudes on the team. But the idea that
it is better basketball, It's better aesthetically, it's better from
a high quality standpoint. That part I don't agree and
I don't think when I watch games now that in
most of the games, not all, that it's a better
brand of basketball than the year's previous.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I don't agree with that portion of it.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
For me, I don't agree with it at all. I
just think this is typical. That was Steph patting himself
on the back that because of him shooting logo threes
he's made everybody better and everybody wants to be like
him and he's revolutionized basketball.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
The reason he's had success is because of.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
The rule changes, the spacing that people have, the idea
that you can't defend anybody, touch anybody.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That makes for an easier game. It just does.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You talk about players all the time and they'll tell you.
It's easy to school all the European players say, dude,
are you kidding.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I'll come here and be like, wait, this is the
NBA physically from a physical standard way.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There's there's nothing here, like really, I can't even put
my hand, I can't even touch you.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Sure the skills better. I have a free path, I
can just drive. Yes, what what? What? What part of that?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And I'm with you. I just don't. I don't see
it at all. I don't buy into it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I think this is just players thinking because they're in
better shape and they wear a better.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Snacks and all that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I'll give you that and all that that they're that
somehow they were better. I would beg to difference say
that what they were able to do during that time
wearing sneakers without arches and taking trains.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
In fact, I when I covered the NBA, they flew
commercial right, Yeah, seventh footer sitting in coach. You're no
first class C seventh footer. That a squeeze in that.
That is what went on and had to play. We
were on the first flight out because in those days
in the winter, you couldn't take the two o'clock to
(10:20):
get to the game.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
You gotta get on a six thirty.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
In case there's snow or ice and that fight gets canceled,
you got.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
To catch the next one. So we were always on.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The first flight six point thirty from Milwaukee to Detroit
or wherever it is.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And that's what those players had to deal with.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's totally different, but skill wise to just say because
it's easier to score now and they have the benefit
of the new spacing where they have a room to
work and I physically can't touch you. There's a lot
of stuff that goes in there, and these guys continue
to bash the players who played. And I'm with you.
(11:00):
If those guys were playing today and they had all
of these other things.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
If you think Michael Jordan would have been a hell
of a three point shooter, you have no idea of
the skill or if Isaiah Thomas couldn't be touched, or
what those guys had to go through them. Are all
those guys sure they would? Those are all time greats.
And here's the other thing. Now, you got one one
(11:25):
and a half players maybe on those days. Go back
and look at the teams where you're talking about bird Magic,
I mean Bird John right like right there and then
and then you would go and look at some of
these other teams with players that they had. Everybody had
like two or three really good players and it wasn't
as many players and all that. I just I think
(11:48):
the league is way watered down. It's probably six teams
that don't really need to be around and sixteens full
of players who probably aren't NBA players. And look at
where they even are in the draft. They don't even
they don't have two round Like, there aren't that many
great players.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And I'll add this too. I still and Rob g
you're a big hoop guy, and Rob you mccovern the
league for years, since nineteen eighty six, since nineteen seven.
I look at this and I tried, and I really
try to not be the old get off my long guy,
and I'm really looking at this. I Kyrie is arguably
one of the most talented we've ever seen. So there's
always gonna be Steph is up there. We got a
(12:23):
handful of guys. But like I see a lot of
guard play from the early two thousands that I don't
see nowadays, Like I see it a lot everybody, oh,
every being more skilled today. I'm like, I don't see
a lot of Baron Davis's, Steve Francis, Stephan Malberry like
guards that were just crazy and shoot, dribble, pass, jump
(12:44):
out the gym. I'm like every Alan Iverson, like everybody
just I'm like, hold on now again, just because you
have some of your moves that you spending your trainer
and you've worked on your personal game since you were
ten twelve years old. Back in the day, it was
more so you played basketball and worked on team and
you understood the fundamentals of how to win. You know,
I don't think it just automatically means you're more skilled.
(13:05):
So that's my biggest thing is people just automatically saying
it just simply because you know, a random center, yeah,
and Aaron redor shape and a random center might be
able to dribble.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But then'm like, yeah, that doesn't mean he can win.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
And we all sit up here in the last handful
of years to complain about the quality of the game.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
We complain about what we're witnessing, what we're seeing. How
why everybody talks about it?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You know that.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Seventy threes and again it's like, that's it. So that
made you better that I get to go, ooh, it's
so much better. Why is the game so bad? Yeah,
it's inefficient and so that that's my biggest thing. Yes,
Steph is an outlier, meaning you're one of the you're
one of them ones. Kyrie is one of the ones,
you know, Luca. But again, those international guys, they often
learn how to play the game, like how to play basketball,
(13:51):
not just simply you know, work on a drill over
and over and over again to put on YouTube and
face and uh, you know, Twitter and TikTok and all that.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
All right eight.

Rob Steph Curry essentially said he believes the game is
left in a better place for him and his generation,
his era of players, and that they're even more skilled
now than ever. Rob and I completely disagree. Eight seven,
(16:04):
seven ninety nine On Fox, What do you guys say?
Who we got Chili? Tim in Atlanta? You're on the
Odds Couples Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Rob?
Speaker 9 (16:14):
Kelby? Hey, real quick before I go get my point? Uh,
you guys think it was last week Kelby, Rob g
and Mary with like I'm here for this man. You
guys had me craign I was on the floor trying
to walk up my steps store. Is that right about
Rob Parker?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (16:31):
You gotta go down here there, Rob. You know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Rob, I'm trying to remember what do we say?
Speaker 10 (16:37):
You were saying?
Speaker 9 (16:38):
Like Mary is like, yeah, if you if you have
nightgown or slippers or something like that, I'm here for this.
You guys are doing this about Rob Parker and everything
is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
You know what, as long as you love the chilli,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's all that matters.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
But I'm stilling rob G Like I mean, I personally
hate Steph Perry and this is one reason why I
hate Steph carry now like us the word hate. I
just kind of despise like his attitude about says. I
think he gets a pass on a lot of stuff
personated other guys that would be. But you think about
in the NBA, guys like Deatlas Shrimp, I think it
(17:13):
was murky to play Rich Smith. Those guys to be
like superstars in the NBA now that they played today,
you know, but they couldn't break through back and then
because they had to compete against such skilled players, you know.
And I think that's the testament too to how easy
it is for international players just to walk into the
league now and win the MVPs and take over the
(17:36):
league where those guys are talented back then, but they
just couldn't over.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
That's a great point.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
You got a Marshall owners Dejdano Rajah obviously cool coach.
You had some bone them. You had a bunch of
guys Debtlin Scrimp. I mean you had a really lighte
group of young guys AK forty seven.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
You know what, I'll tell you a guy who probably
wishes that he was drafted now then back then dark
old and.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
His style of play. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Was not Larry Brown wasn't having no big guy the
perimeter shooting three seriously.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And that's a he probably not that he would be
I think we know what. I'm just saying that that's
his game would be the the style of player. That's
a good point. That's good point.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Uh, Leo in New York City, you're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
What's up, Leo?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Well, guys, I hope the walk behind you, guys is silent.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Because I need to push that go ahead, push back.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
Because we always you guys are talking about their new generation,
always trashing the old one. But the thing is old
generation has always been plaining and talking talking about the
new guy or in that in our.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
Ever you wouldn't do this, we would do this to you,
we will do that to you.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
And every time we turn to this perspective and as in, oh,
the old guys didn't have this and he didn't have that,
you always tried to diminish what you guys coming to
doing what they're doing. Were if this guy has that,
if this guy has this need to have trouble is
to have the speaker, the technology, they would have done
this and that. Sure, maybe they would have done it,
(19:06):
maybe they would.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Diminish what you guys know what I'm doing, all right?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Moto' Leo? So Leo, So I get what you're saying.
But are you telling me this is a this is
a skilled and better brand of basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Leo? No, No, we dumbed him. I'm good.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I love it's on site with Alex and Leo. We
already know that trashed them one time on trash talk.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It was like three years ago. I didn't let it go.
I went through trash Alexe. I know, Leo? Why what
did you just turn your radio off? Leo? What did
he trash? How did you sound like me? Yeah? I
don't know who.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
You're passionate and I'm gonna passionately say Leo. Go ahead
and listen to the Petty Walk King of a Decade.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Hey, rob G, were getting some comments on.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, we got the comments getting hot and heavy on
the live YouTube stream.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Here's a couple of them. I think you got there.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
We got Clay g who says, if it wasn't for Katie,
Steph would only have two rings? Would I have two rings?
This generation of NBA player have no respect for people
that paved the way for them. It started off with
Lebron as the leader.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
And you know what, I love that because KD is
the mid range game, you know what I mean, not
the Steph Curry. Steph Curry choked down a championship up
three to one.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Well, Kevin Durant, when we're talking about skill, I mean
he might be top five skilled of all time. Kevin
rant Is. I have nothing to say about his offensive game. Like,
the dude is seven foot and then you've been next
to him before. He ain't six ten or whatever. Listen,
he's at least six fifteen and he only weighs fifteen pounds.
But dude is absolutely skilled. I remember seeing him his
(20:36):
rookie year in Detroit. I couldn't believe how skinny he is. Yeah,
you're like I was like.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I was shout, you're a professional athlete and nice.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
So y'all don't have much. One more quick one. This
is double dipper. Sean and Zacramando is also on the
live stream. Shuwing of course, put to get in on
the radio show because we're so jammed up with calls,
so he decided to hit us on the stream. Says
best shooting era, but worst defensive era of all time.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Remember, but why is it the best shooting era, Sean?
Just because I can shoot. But here's the other party.
This will make you laugh.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
This generation also thinks PG thirteen is the most skilled
hooper of all time.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah he's nice, but hey, real quick, Obi in Los Angeles,
you're in the couple of Fox Sports where let's get
Obi in there.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
What's happening, my man?
Speaker 10 (21:14):
How you doing? Guys?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (21:15):
What's again? Yes, as far as far as the guard
play goes, I think the god player has been changed
because his positions position is basketball. It's ruined the point
guard position. And if you think about a guy like
Rashid Wallace, would you rather have Rashid Wallace or a
d I.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Mean, come on, give me of course.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
Okay, So I mean so this old generation new generations
is kind of nonsense. I mean, I don't know, but
thank you guys for taking a call. You guys are
great as always.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
That would appreciate Oby.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And that's a great point, Rashie Wallace because of the
way he played, like and you know this, you recovering it.
I'm gonna fit in with this team, Rashee Wallace. Now
we'll talk about what he would do in his air,
shooting threes, if it range, turn around blocking shots I
used to watch with Shee pregame.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
He would take. He'd have a ball in both hands.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I remember, right, both hands from like mid court and
shoot them boom boom, and knock them both in another
scept with different hands, not this shooting hand, one in his.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Right hand, one his left hand. I used to say, guys,
incredible dude.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
People understand like that dude, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, these
dude the center, these power forward. The skill level was
so high.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Man. Anyway, don't get me start again. We'll mess around
to do a whole nother segment on this. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We got Lomas Brown coming up here just a bit
looking forward to hand from him.

Lomas is a great dude.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:39):

Speaker 4 (23:40):
I used to know we're getting Lomas in the second.
I used to used to watch y'all, oh.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
No Sports Final and I'll be like with Katrina Hancock
when she was doing it, or Jamie lid Jitmans.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, Jamie at that time, that was great, favorite station
that you were in Detroit. I'm putting you on blasts.
What that I worked for ABC wd IV which one.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I worked for d IV for twenty years. Yeah, has
got to be dah.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
That was that was that was that was you know
how you have a station? That was my kind of
my default station back then. Rob G's getting Lomas, I'm sure,
as you mentioned, of course, former offensive tackle for the Lions.
So we'll get to the Lions kind of what happened
in week one to beat down from the Packers and
then also how they moved forward into week two, what
expects to do against the Bears back home in Detroit.
What he's going to expect there from them, So we'll
(24:27):
get him. No, Lomas, no, UMAs, you better be texting
you right now.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
What'd you do? Rob Lomast was your man? All of
a sudden? No, you don't want to come on the show?
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Is it because you didn't want to go to his
birthday party? With Rodney pet I went to his birthday party?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
What you what you done?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Did with with Lomas? One of the nicest human beings
to walk to Earth.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
He heard the opening segment You've ripping Dan Campbells show again?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Per yeah, per his job. He can't come on if
it's gonna be all that bashing Lomas. Yeah, I almost
don't care, but I know, well, we'll try to get
him in a minute. Until we get him, we can
switch gears a little bit. Getting back to some of
these NFL conversations, is there an update one of the
ones we were talking about too?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Tigers are up to nothing, Let's just keep it quick.
When Tiger just got a two run knock two nothing?
Tigers over the yank?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
What color was the guy who got the RB? I, Rob,
what do you mean?
Speaker 10 (25:17):
What?
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Bront?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Look, I don't see color. It's not Judge, Cody. That
was actually classic. I'm not gonna lie to you, Roy,
and I'm glad you tube got to see it. That
was classic, Aaron Judges, that's not what I told you that.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
You know, I keep telling you. We got it on tape. Now, Aaron,
I'm a report. I'm not ruining. But if Judge I
stood up on.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
This table, Rober, you've never seen me do that. No, No,
they've never seen you do it. Because when YouTube wasn't rolling,
I sit next to you, I've seen it. You've never
seen me jump on the table because of Aaron Johnes Wait,
talk to me, go talk talk to me for ten second.
Let me show you what you do, I'm gonna be
Rob Parker. You be getting ready to go. I'm not
even looking. That's what you We're sitting here in the
most intense conversation, and I just think they need to
(26:04):
do this, and the Lakers need to do that, and
the and the Warriors, and it's what you do with
Aaron Judge goes up.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Just turn it all the way like this.
Speaker 12 (26:12):
I don't turn them around. The TV's in front of me. No,
it's not that one. And you turn all the way
around because you put the leak right here, right, it's
all peripheral. So I can just have a Yankee dome.
What what's wrong with you guys?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Because we love it, because we love to let the
people know. And now blame Elijah because he puts seventy
two cameras in here and now we get to see it.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And what did you do the Lumbas? Matter of fact,
what did you do the Lomas Rock? Do you do anything?
We were texting earlier, it was all did you tell
them this Wednesday? Wednesday? I told him today.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Sometimes you know, like people get in the area's phones
that the message goes straight that is going straight to
voice mail.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
No, it's ringing were getting this, he might have fell out,
he might have took it. He left us on red.
All right, I will switch gears, saying the NFL, what's
up with the Who's more that one?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
For you?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Who's more cursed?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
When it comes to injuries, it seems like the forty
nine Ers or the Clippers, my goodness, they can't. Neither
one of those teams can stay healthy and get it right.
Because now Rock Party Rob g Wright is expected to
be out.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Expected to be out this weekend and potentially moving forward
with that toe injury.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
You got Kiddle out.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Now we already know Christian McCaffrey his cav is hanging
on by a thread.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I mean, I'm looking at them, like, dude.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The only difference is, at least the forty nine Ers
have made it to the Super couple times.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Clippers are still.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Trying to get there, and it's it's a shame, and
injuries are a part of it. But you do wonder
about all the stuff and injuries and stuff. I mean,
it does seem like it happens to certain teams all
the time, and other teams get to go through almost
scott free, where people are good and healthy and ready
to play.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm looking at their schedule. We'll talk a little
bit more about it next home, so I won't fully indulge,
but there's a little hope I think, given all of
this for them, we'll get into a next hour. But
but I'm just like, my goodness, there's certain teams and
franchises where you just feel like.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah, I'm not moving for anyone to get fired. Never
other than Rob always people to get fired.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I don't don't root for him. I'm just giving you
the facts. No jaw Hagwall should be fired today. I
mean no, no, no. The worst one since we've been
doing our show is Andy Reid. That was crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I was right. So I say that to say I
looked it up. The Niners head strength and conditioning coach,
Dustin Perry, has been the head man there for six
seasons eight total with the franchise. Again, I don't want
to be fired, but at what point do you reconsider
his job and say, hey, but they do that, you
would have don't hurt basically every year for the last
(28:45):
four years.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
But you know what they do do that.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You've seen that strength and conditioning staff because they can't
get people on are healthy or it's just so much
going on.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I've seen it.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You know, it was the opposite and if you guys,
it's kind of, you know, a stretch. But if you remember,
he got a lot of fame and pub over the
last twenty years or so, the strength and conditioning coach
from the Phoenix Suns. Yes, that guy, he got the
I think the white guy with dreads and so he
had a certain look. He was kind of a buff
dude too, but he all of a sudden became the
guy because people were going there and they're like, what's
(29:14):
in the water in Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
They're coming out they're healthy. Grand uh.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He got the best of Steve Nash before he would
break down afterwards. Remember he was had issues early and
was fine for some years for the most part. And
they talked about a lot of people went there and
got healthy and were at their best, the strongest in Phoenix.
And that guy, to your point, instead of being fired,
he got heralded. He was like recruited other people because
people were going there and getting right and getting healthy.
So all right, well let's do this, we'll ray. We
(29:41):
got ones got to go coming up. And it's an
addition of something that has been driving me crazy. Happening,
and I think he's happened everybody, but especially even in
the Washington household, and I'm sick of it.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I want to end. So one's got to go.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
We'll do that and if we get Lomas Brown again
at some point, maybe we'll get back to him.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
If not, it's all good.
Speaker 4 (29:57):

That when I'm planning here?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Fun even number figure it out, all right, the cyber
ones gotta go.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
We have some fun conversations. Sometimes it's tired and what
was happening in the sports world. Sometimes it's not, And
this time it is not, and that one goes to
uh because if you can see it, dang it, Rob,
you only person can probably see it. Dang, I got
a big, old, huge I don't know if it's a
spider bite on my arm, and it caught my leg too.
We got some spider that got me within all of
a sudden California. When I moved here, you've probably feel
(31:23):
the same way. One of the great releafs coming from
the Midwest was there weren't a lot of mosquitos here.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
All of a sudden, mosquitoes are going crazy.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
And then because it's been hot, my daughter's in and
out the door, leaving flies in the house. So it
started to think one's gotta go insect rachnophobia, whatever addition,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
This is easy. You don't even know the list? Okay?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Ants, okay, spiders, flies, mosquitoes, and bees.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
One has got to go. They're all terrible or you know,
or useful.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
What could you excuse me ants on that list without
putting uncles.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I just don't even understand it.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
This man is back on the comedy Flappers right now
in Burbank. Haha, that one bad, though, I get it.
I get credit for that one. No, I'm thinking this
is the first ever. I thought it wasn't that bad,
and he did like Rob's done better. That was a
nice way to butter it up with a compliment on
the back end. All right now, Alex you Bree, Elijah
(32:26):
you're who? Yes you Elijah?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Rob G? Rob Who we got? Ants?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Spiders, flies, mosquito, bees, they can all be annoying and
hurtful and painful and just frustrating at times in our lives.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
One's gotta go. Who wants to start, Brie, rob G,
I'll start.
Speaker 9 (32:46):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Mosquitos one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Mosquitoes.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
I get bit all the time. I want them all extinct,
forever gone.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Mosquitos got you. I don't think they bite me. I
don't know if they're into dork meet see.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Alex now even't got them on front.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
I even got him on fire as a delegate of
the dark community, dark meat.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Community, I feel you on that.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Yeah, well, I don't know easy for you? Which one
this is easy? Would you like to listen in or
you know?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
No? Bees? I'm not into the bees. I'm not into bees.
This might be the first time, Alex, you have lost Alex.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
I don't think I can protect anymore. Ron what out
of that entire list, those are the only ones that
have forgne we would die, I know.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
But I don't know what Colina I understand. But we're
not about to get into the system. And we're talking
about who I annoying. If a bee comes near me,
a mosquito?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Would you run like you did with the rat when
we were in New Orleans? That what the rat was?
The size of it? But it was Dad, Alex. It
was this big. I mean that disgusting. You see this
on YouTube? It was this.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
The best part about it YouTube is that Rob g knows.
Rob never saw it. He's just ran. The lady goes
hey fellas watch out for the rat and it just
takes out to the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I'm like, oh, I don't want to see it. I
don't want to. I don't know. You didn't even look.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
She said, Oh, gentlemen, and then watch out for the
red That man she gotta say that. You read a
four to seven easy, easy, brutal. All right, rob z
where you at?
Speaker 5 (34:19):
This one is not that easy for me because if
I was worried about my daughters, I would say mosquitos.
But they don't really mess with me that much. So
move that down the bench. She can get bid all
she wants. I'm good. The one that I don't mean
that I'm just kidding. The one Steven Robins like that
got dark quick. The one that really bothers me. And
it's because I have no idea, like what makes them
(34:43):
appear and what doesn't make them appear is ants.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
What ants don't bother you, they do bother you.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Because there'll be times where I'll leave food out and
nothing happens. There'll be times where I'll clean it up,
wipe down the table, and there's like five ans circling something,
circling nothing, by the way, because they're Stu, So I
wish I could understand what led to them coming in
and out, and then I'd be more inclined to be
I'll give.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Me the answer like harmless.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
The answer for me is ants as because I'll give
you with Squito's hurt right, they bite you, but they're
kind of seasonal, they kind of go away.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Answer.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
The issue with ants, to rob G's point is sometimes
it's four or five, sometimes it's four or five hundred,
and they freak my girls out. My daughters, they start screaming,
and then you get a hold, you can get a
trail of them ants. And also answer living in California,
they come out to answer your question, Robgie, is because
when it's really hot, they're trying to get inside. When
it's really rainy, they want to get inside, and then
(35:39):
obviously something sweet or food related they want to get
some of that. So ants are annoying. I thought about
some other one spiders. They're too infrequent to really is like,
you know, you don't see them as often and they
mostly key to themselves. Yeah, well except my arm bees
don't overly bother me as much, and then they make honey,
so they're down with me. I gotta have honey every
day and then flies. Now, flies might be second for me,
believe it or not. If they flies, if they have
(36:02):
a fly swatting contest, I'm telling you, I'm finishing at
least third, Matt like I'm getting I'm getting the medal.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Alex, where are you? I'm disappointed in all of you
besides bareem. Hold on, let me think, Alex. Hold on,
don't answer yet, Alex. So we know them.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Bees have to because you and the honeycombs are the
systems of the polypical nation industry. So we understand that flies,
it has to be flies.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
No, flies are the cleaners of the world. They take
care of all the decaying, rotting food, flash, animals, et cetera.
That's what maggots do. They clean up everything for us.
So mosquitos did for you. They do nothing. I'm almost
one hundred percent certain they never existed. They lied about
the Mesozoa era and made them think that they were
back with dinosaurs and Jurassic parks, and we would agree
with them. I'm one hundred percent, and I believe Bill
(36:44):
Gates made them. And it's just to bite us and
to make us sick like that stuff is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
What do they do? They literally do nothing. Haven't you
seen Jurassic Park? Yeah? I did. It's fake. It's real.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
It's a fake movie. You've told me before. They can't
make They don't have original ideas in Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
It's all in fact. Yeah, and then they get ideas.
Park is fake? Yeah it is, so what do They're
not real?
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Okay, it's Truely, I like a good conspiracy. I'm conspiracy.
It's a true So what are the fossils that we
go to a museum and ask them if I could
test one of their bones? They'll say no because it's
made a chicken bone. Well no, they're going to say
it because they're gonna be like we already don't put
it up here and pretice last last, did we land
on the moon?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
You really want to go there?
Speaker 7 (37:25):
No, come on, I'm gonna touch that because rob I
know it's okay, but I'll say this. Our internet is
wires under the ocean. So are we really going up
under the ocean. That's what our internet is. It's wires
in the ocean.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Tea. Yeah, if all goes to mosquitoes? Is that what
You're on the same.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Page now when you're going this when you go on
your rest. Sometimes you know, we've been knowing each other
for years now, I'm rich you. Sometimes sometimes you lose
me and I keeps not and yet like I know
what I don't. I'm like, yeah, I get it because
your lady is she in the she do you lose
her to or those people?
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Okay, so most people get lost? Are you lost? So
I'm still lost? I'm trying to be found. So everything
we're doing is not real?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Right?
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Is this radio show real?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
The fake?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
That goes down to the concept of a masking? Is
this radio show real? What if we want it to be?
Speaker 10 (38:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Is this what we're happening or not?
Speaker 7 (38:18):
That somebody hit the X Files somebody, I mean, in
like one hundred years from now, they could say it
wasn't So it's not real.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Well he ain't.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Hey like their wires underneath the show is their wires
underneath the show. He ain't lying about what they could
say in a hundred years because we are making things
that happen clearly happen to go away and not exists.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Were changing history as we speak. How did his phone ring?
Who's calling him that
