So Rob g.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Patrick Mahomes is on vacation, him and his wife new haircut,
fill it himself, got pictures on the boat and all that,
and it didn't go over well for at least one
Kansas City radio.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Guy, did it.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah, there's a big fallout going on right now in
Kansas City. It all started when Kannasee radio and podcast
host Kevin Kitzman, after these photos came out set on
his own show, quote, vacation photos are popping up with
Patrick Mahomes and he's fat. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna
tell you the truth. That's why you have to play button.

(02:22):
He's an embarrassment. And since then it's gotten real personal,
real quick. You have Patrick Mahomes's longtime fitness trainer saying
send me the location to this radio podcasting host. You
even have the Kansas City mayor presitting out veiled tweets

(02:42):
suggesting that certain guys are only in the business because
they're clowns, and so well everybody is.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
You're the mayor of Kansas City.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
There's all the issues going on, homelessness, jobs, like, come on, dude, really,
you're the mayor of Kansas City.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Is that your concern? I would be yes, because that's
a big draw. They bring us a bunch of money.
We get parades and money, city making much cheating.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Come on me, that's what you want. That's how we
got robed.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
All we got is the chiefs and Daggy Patrick Mahomes
is the bus driver and this thing.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I agree with you guys, But here's the question. Though
obviously these comments were inflammatory, like no defense fans or
buts about it? Do you think he crossed the line
though with what he said to spark this level of vitriol.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'm gonna say, go, ah, you want to well, I
was just gonna say no, I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
And I know it seems like it's one of those
rob You wouldn't say it to my face, you wouldn't
say it to Patrick Mahomes's face. But no, because I
think that's part of the job, especially in sports media
and sports radio. It's entertainment. But here's the reason why
I say this. Rob Athletes are judged on one of
the things. It's physicality, what you look like, your size,

(03:53):
your weight. We got a whole week where men are
walking around in speedos called the combine, where all we
look at is how fast, how tall? How much does
you wait? How long is arms? How do we just
we do that for an entire week. It's ridicted, Its remarkable,
that's what we do. You look at boxers, speedos are optional.
When you do the weigh in, we're literally weighing you,
and it's optional. Guys high behind the towe with nothing

(04:15):
on on, guys wears speitos. So my point is physicality,
how in shape you are, what you look like, is
a part of the game. Now again, I know it
could be hurtful. I know it can be seeming a
little disrespectful, but I think athletes kind of are used
to it, kind of par for the course. Now, I
do think what has changed is that they're used to
historically hearing some loud mouse like robing Mike Stone or

(04:37):
something back in the day, just hearing a couple of
local guys running their mouth. Man, id me tell you something.
These guys are fact like, all right, here goes to
one or two guys. I think they're used to that.
They're used to the one guy having a column and
then you know if I if I'm writing.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
I'm ripping who. That sounds familiar, Yeah, it does.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
So they're used to that, right, I got the one guy,
two guys, I got a couple of radio stations in
the local town whatever.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Man, Now I know those guys. They're doing that, their
tongue in cheek whatever.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
What I do think has changed, though, is that they're
not used to millions of people being able to get
at them, you know, millions of people being able to
reach them who are fat, really fat, looking like Sherman
Klump out here in these streets. I think that's the
form part, And that might be what's more frustrating. The
local radio guy screaming at me whatever.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
I'm used to it.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
The local beat writer saying some crowd whatever. I'll see
him on Tuesday. I'll let him know how I feel.
I think that has a big part to why maybe
athletes get a little bit more upset now is because anybody,
every who shot John can say something. Any guy would have,
you know, some Twitter Fingers can say something. I think
that might be a little more where you get like, man,
what was this dude to call me that? I know,
Rob Parking yell let me on the local sports show.

(05:41):
I know Kelvin Washington might say something crazy on the
local sports show.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
But who you.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
But again, physicality, your shape, how in shape you are,
if you're ready to go, if you're taking care of
your body is a massive part of sports. It's a
massive part of what we talked about, and it's a
high expectation for these athletes. We just saw it with
Luca Luca right. I mean that was a conversation that
he's a twenty five year.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Old Luca hookah hookah.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
But a twenty five year old with a thirty five
year old body. I've said it a million times. Yes,
you do look at Frizeke. You do the embarrassment part, Okay,
you need to throw that in, But the saying look
at the picture and say he looks fat to me,
or he doesn't look in great shape right now, or
whatever it is. I think that that's fair. When you're
an athlete, people do look at your body.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Yolkers was pudgy for a while. We're like Pudgy Doode exactly.
Kevin Love came in the league from Ucla. Pudgy goten great.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Jane's hard and remember before he got traded from Houston,
he looked like he had a fat suitor.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
I remember what happened there because you remember documentary on that.
I'm the heck was he that he had a fat suitor?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Not?

Speaker 5 (06:46):
In three days he was on the rob g weegov
megov shegoby somebody govy because he lost way wait and
Kobe Babe Ruth talk about it. He was a little chubby, yes,
it was looking back by the way, chubby back in
the day versus chubby now is not.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
He would look like he was doing perfectly. I remember.
But people didn't eat like you know.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
That people people the wape we eat now.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
There was no McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
If you add a couple of pieces of beef with
your soup or your stew, you know, and a.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Piece of bread, you know there was McDonald's. Burger was
the regular hamburger that we laughed at. That little bird
that was it. There was no it was a fry,
There was no extra light. It was just a fry
and a small soda. Now it's crazy. Who's fat quote
unquote fat. Back in the thirties four years they were
really fat. Man, I looked swollen back then.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
But don't you remember even McDonald's had gotten ridiculous, Remember
the supersize, the big frye and the drink was like
a ninety ounce like remember that?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Have you ordered a small? Do you know what a
small is nowadays?

Speaker 5 (07:51):
At restaurant when you go to these fast food spots,
you know, I'll go for my girls sometimes and I'm like,
it's no small. I want a small for like they're eight,
they're six to four. I don't need a oh yeah small,
And I'll say, no, no, not so small.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
They want a small, which is a large, and they
want to charge you three dollars.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
That's why that's the small.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
And then they'll give you like a bigger cup for
forty nine cents more because they gonna get three dollars
out of you or three fifty out of here, and
they making the killing either way because it's only seven
cents for a fountain drink.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
But anyway, I do think that there's a poetic life.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
There's a license there to talk about somebody's physical If
you're talking about how.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Somebody looks and they're ugly and all that. That that's
where you cross the line to being make it just face.
How do he get that? Wife? It's all right, set
it down, not it's a personal thing.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
But to take a look at a quarterback or a
player and go, I don't know if he really looks
like he's in shape or he's put on way in
the offseason. You know, I'm a little concerned about that.
I can hear that conversation. Remember, I wouldn't say he
was disgustingly fat or they know, like grotesque, or said
he looked fat.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Do I think some radio jockson go over the top? Yes?

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Do I think think they're doing it for Ready's Yes?
Do I think they can sometimes get personal? Yes, But
the concept of having a conversation about your way is
absolutely part of the par for the course when it
comes to sports. I remember when Sean Kemp left Seattle
and went to Cleveland, and over that summer everybody was like, whoa,
what happened to Sean Kimp? Because Sean Kemp, the rain
man with Seattle, remember, ripped up chisel skin, you know,

(09:21):
And when he got to Cleveland, everybody was like, whoa
what is going on. I know some of the ladies
were having baby. They look like you was having babies,
and that was what the conversation was. So I just
think that's again, it happened. It happens, whether it be MLB,
whether it be football, whether it be basketball. It happens
in sports. And again I'm not saying the athletes particularly

(09:42):
enjoyed or they wake up and say, ah, let me
hear who's gonna take jabs in me today? Who's gonna
try to snipe me today? On the ready to show?
But I think subconsciously they're like, all right, as long
as again, you're not disrespecting me or my friend.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Don't go. Hey, man, did you see the game last night? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (09:57):
You see Patrickholmes hanging out? Yeah, his wife's fat. Then
it's like, right now, that's crazy, right, that's what she
didn't sign up for this. I signed up for this.
I'm an athlete, exactly. You're not talking about his kid. Hey,
his kid was at the game. Boy, he little fat.
He needs to lay off the blah blah blah that
you got to see. The kid didn't sign a kid?
Yeah you have you got to see.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
No, no, no, I agree with that but but definitely athletes,
uh there for physique does matter.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
It really does without a doubt.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
So again, I just think there's certain things athletes have
signed up for and you and I said that, we've
talked to a million of them and they know. And
then there's like a fine line I think that you
can draw in the sand where I do think fans
or radio personalities or beat writers or so and so
knenteched to for what was the one rob somebody says
something about Joel Embiid's brother.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Well, he had died, That's what that was.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
A columnist in Philadelphia said, because he said Mbid has
always said that part of the reason he plays to
honor his brother and what he means to him, that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
And he was like, do you think the way you're playing, brother,
are you honoring him by sitting out all these games?

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Man?

Speaker 5 (11:02):
You gotta see me. You got it like that? That's
that's that's gone too far. You can say, do you
feel like you're giving your max effort right now?

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Do you feel like bring bringing up somebody who's dead.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
That's just that's and that's what where there are lines that, Hey,
I'm an athlete, I signed up for it.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I know it. Uh.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
And by the way, this isn't just an athlete thing.
When you're a public figure, there wasn't a moment where
you signed on to something. But legally, as a public figure,
people can say thing, they can do things, they watch,
they can draw artistically and they can put you in
a car and you're like, how a lone of symptoms?
And then they can do that at artistic freedom. As

(11:40):
you mentioned, the minute you become a public figure, and
I think public figures know that they don't like it.
But there is a line in the sand where it's
like you've gone too far. And I think he was,
you know, habitual line step but he was right on
the line. But I think just called, you know, saying
a little joke like that isn't isn't that no doubt?

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, did the Kansas
City radio host cross the line by calling Patrick Mahomes fat.
We'll continue that conversation next with you. I want to
hear this from listeners here on the odd couple.

Speaker 3 (12:14):

disagree with us.

football thing. I want to talk to you about. Rob
on the other side here in just a little bit.
But right now we're talking about local Kansas City radio

(14:00):
host calls Pat Mahon. Patrick Mahone's fat is that out
of bounds? Is it okay? Is it acceptable? Or is
it crossing the line? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox?

Speaker 3 (14:08):
So we got how about chili Tim in Atlanta? That's right?
Are you gonna be at the All Star Game? Tim?
What's happening? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (14:16):
I planned on being there, man, no doubt about it.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
All right, we gotta make sure that we meet shake hands.

Speaker 8 (14:22):
Okay, okay, look to your hands and clean Rob. I
know you like to be a magic city.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I'll have some of my wipes to make sure that
they're clean, No doubt.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
But my thing with podcasts, First of all, I don't
really care a whole lot of podcasts. I think the
majority of them idiots, so I don't really listen to it.
But I will say it is with that guy Kansas City,
I get what he's saying, but I think you have
to kind of like, look at who you're talking about.
Patrick Mahomes is a guy that you know, he's a

(14:56):
three time champion. Most of the time, most of the tree,
he's always been in shape. He comes in and he
works hard, so you know to do that because him
is kind of like, to me, if he's disrespectful, I
just see if he was a guy who never like
like Luca is somebody that has a history of doing that.
But that's Mahone does not have their history. And I
just think guys on a certain level, certain champions on

(15:17):
a certain level, like he's trying to have to give
them the doctor that they're going to be in shape
when the time comes.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Chillie, I would have pushed back real quick. Patrick Mahomes
has dealt with this before. People have talked, He's joked
about it. He's joked about the fact that his body
he's not you know, ripped up. He's joked about that before.
He's never been Yeah, he's never He's never had like
this amazing you know, body walking around you know two
percent body fact looking like early Mike Vick or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Like.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
No, he he's joked about it as well, So I
think he he knows this is part of the course.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
He's never you know, he's not gonna be.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I think the embarrassment part could have been, uh, you
know what I mean, you could have avoided that.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah. Oh, that that's why I said, there's always that line.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
There's a line right there, and sometimes some people can
be habitual line steppers.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
All right.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
I mean when you said that, no, you're just happen
to be in the room with me. I just kind
of turned and you were there. I mean, you know
nobody else was in the room with me.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Andre. Did I do that? Did I knew that? I
knew that I do that? Did I do that? Is that? Me?
Yea one more? Did I do that? I do that?
All right? Andre? In Massachusetts, you're in the eye couple
of Fox Sports. What's up?

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Dry?

Speaker 9 (16:27):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (16:28):
You know what's going on? Happy Wednesday? Thanks for taking
the call. Listen, I got no problem with the Kansas
City broadcast or making these comments. You know, the subliminals
talking about Patrick Mahomes has a dad boy. You know,
you're looking at him. You know he's obviously, you know,
very marketable, known faith and you just make this critique.
But the bottom line is you got to you know,

(16:49):
if Patrick Mahomes backed it up on the field, it
doesn't matter. Okay, So you're stepping out on the limb
making this critical statement as if Patrick Mahomes is somehow
he's not a loose if he can't get outside.

Speaker 9 (16:59):
Of the park.

Speaker 10 (16:59):
Patrick mahone, it's plenty mobile, and he has plenty of wiggles.
He's shifty, right, so he might not necessarily as you note,
it looks like a Michael Vick, you know, or one
of these other quarterbacks, Bryce shown, Kyler Murray, whoever you want.

Speaker 8 (17:10):
To put it.

Speaker 10 (17:10):
But does that say that he can't do all the
things that's necessary to be an elite and not just
an elite many people have him as the best quarterback
overall in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
He's not the best quarterback in the league. Can we stop?
He's not? He's not He's I mean, obviously.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
My pick right now currently I think Lamar Jackson he's
not the best.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
He's not the best quarterback.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I'm not and that doesn't We're not talking about his
lifetime achievement, on way he fits in, on his history, MVP,
super Bowls.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
We got all that, we gave him all the pro
right now. He's not the best quarterback.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
Right now to me, and Lamar Jackson is playing the
best football in the entire NFL period.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Jeremy in Washington, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
What's up, Jeremy, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 9 (17:52):

Speaker 1 (18:06):
That's amazing as a long time listen, we appreciate your support.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
He mad if you mad at the fat sham and
that's what you got.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
Jeremy, Man, they fat shaming a man. Look man, Tom Brady,
Peyton Manning. I can go on and on about quarterbacks
that didn't have the subsitue like of a Cam Newton
or per Se like stop it, man, this guy doesn't sing.
It don't matter what you look like. As long as
you get the job down on the field. And I

(18:33):
understand where you're coming from. Rob. Yeah, he's kind of
like Jordan's in the Wizards area. Like in the Wizard area,
you said, that's the day, I give you that. But
this man still wins. He still gets the Super Bowls,
he still get championship. It's like it's like the Luca
Doncer team, Like, come on, the god's putting up some
numbers and I know you love Luca, Rob, he putting

(18:54):
up the numbers.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
What wait, hold on me, that is a Russa Jammy.
You gotta wait till the fall. Then you're gonna call back.
I'll never mind my bad. I was chripping. I was tripping.

Speaker 9 (19:07):
But I know Rod respects what Luca does. Yes, I

Speaker 1 (19:12):
I can't I can't argue with I can't argue with
all NBA five times in six years, are you kidd
income that's he's twenty five years old.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
That's great.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
And by the way, I mean we used to make
fun of remember when Tom Brady during the combine, no
and it was because.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
He was laying the joke was he had a dad,
no kids, no kids.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Two years old would have dad bought. So it happens.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Man again, I'm not saying any of us want to
wake up and hear somebody criticizing us today.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
Nobody wakes up and like, you know what, I want
to hear somebody call me fat or I had dad
bought or any of that.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Oh so you want you don't have an ex wife.
That's why I'm sorry. She better talking about this bad.
But I'm trying to undad Bob right now.

Speaker 5 (19:54):
But but you over here, are you eating the chicken

Speaker 6 (23:12):
Rob, stay with me now six years, six years.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I don't know, Alex you in that too. I got
sometimes say it to you, it's going six years.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
I'm trying to go to the next year. What are
we doing?

Speaker 5 (23:22):
I've noticed with you too, Rob, Will you and I
talk about something that all the time that I think, uh,
it is relevant in this situation that I wanted to
throw at you. Did you hear about the the NFL
in the NFL had to find a concealing collusion findings
and essentially, if you recall, there was the NFLPA had

(23:43):
made that case that they believe there's some clusion about
after Deshaun Watson got all that money two hundred and
thirty guaranteed that now you had, they were colluding to
not pay guaranteed money to a handful of quarterbacks. It
was Kyler Murray, was Lamar Jackson, it was some other
players as well. So there's all of a sudden we
just find out that there was a hearing where the

(24:04):
NFLPA in the NFL came together and they had a
meeting and said, hey, they found out there was some
evidence that there was collusion but the NFLPA never told
the players, Rob. And so this goes to something you
and I have talked about so many times, how the
NFLPA does wrong by the players.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
It's embarrassing how.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
The NFLPA does not have the interest of the players
at hand.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
So listen to this, Rob.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
So they find out through a Arbor Raider that January
fourteen that they ruled that there was I'm sorry that
they found out that their NFL showed a clear preponderance
of the evidence and that there was something going on
that they were colluding did not have to play this
ton of guaranteed money to the players. The players never
heard about it until it came out this past Tuesday, Rob.
Six months. The players didn't know about this. You know

(24:53):
how men players are, hey, what's going on here? Why
did I get this money? Agents call it? What's going on?
And they didn't know. And I like Rob to the
fact that the NFL, to me, has reminded us over
and over that it's kind of like alcohol, where you
know it ain't good for you, you know it has
a chance to kill. You know, it's something you and
I shall probably do it this much and consume it

(25:14):
this much. But dango is fun, dang, and I enjoy it, dangan.
It makes things a little bit better. And that's how
I think we are with the NFL, because every full
handful of years they remind us that they actually don't
care about the players, that they actually don't care about
the things that they're promoting that they do, and they
just and it's blatant, right, we got the concussion stuff,
they ignore the evidence to hide it.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Then they lose the case.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
They seven hundred, seven hundred and sixty five million they
have to give the players, current and ex players, and
now we hear about players dying who aren't getting the
money and they're not distributing the money now.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
But I don't even blame the NFL if you can
get away with the players. I mean, do you think
they giving us do you think they given a commission
of forty million dollars because because he's not bringing the
players in or he's not getting the job done that
they want. Like, it's terrible. I mean, it's it's that embarrassing.
Over and over all the NFL does is brag about

(26:04):
how much money it makes and yet it doesn't take
care of player no health care, No the healthcare package
is embarrassing. It is five years after you retire, you
get five years of coverage. So the average career is
three years, three and a half years. So you're retiring
it from the NFL twenty eight, twenty nine. You wait

(26:25):
till you're thirty four. Then you get five years from
thirty four to thirty nine, and then you're on your own.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Then you're on your on the most violent sport that
we have.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
But that's when you need healthcare. Now, when you're thirty
twenty nine, twenty eight, you know what I mean, for
the most part, you're usually at your healthiest. I mean,
come on, it's embarrassed.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
So this confidentiality agreement they had kept all the details.
Like I mentioned, it was a sixty page ruling. They
kept a secret tool. Pablo Torri found us out and
he was talking about it. But now it's out there.
And as again as I mentioned yesterday, and so now
you have again the NFL is trying to backped the
nflp A players are upset about this.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
You have people, uh like, yo, what what the heck?

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Why won't they if I'm Labar Jackson, as I mentioned
just moments ago, who's the best player in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
And it don't even shock me. It's it's it's embarrassing.
It doesn't make any sense, you.

Speaker 9 (27:14):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
And you just look at this again.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
I just have all this list of things that the
NFL done and then mention you can get away to it.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Why won't you?

Speaker 5 (27:20):
But you cover up what the CTE consualming I mentioned
that seven hundred and six to the other one.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I'll tell you the other one one had a settlement,
uh with the NFL, the original deal that they broke
they have with the NFL. The arbitrator sent it back
to judge said it wasn't enough money. Like like normally
a judge is robber stamp. You have two sides, you
agree on a number. What is the judge? Stop the judge,

(27:46):
you're both happy, Okay, let's go rubber stamp. The judge
was like, no, no, no, take the it's not enough money.
That the whole union should have been fired on the spot.
If a judge on an arbitrary arbitration says it's not
enough money, how did you negotiate that?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
So, I mean, you just look at so many of
the issues the NFLPA has had. Man, we talk about
the concussion issues and how they didn't handle that. We
talk about the fact that they as you just mentioned
that one there, where they didn't want to get in
the money. They've had internal conflicts with disciplinary actions with
the NFL where they're not standing up for the players,
the kind of siding with the league on certain things.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
So it's just interesting to me, rob that.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Something like this can happen when you're supposed to be
looking out for You're the Players Association looking out for them,
and you and I sit up here and always talk about,
you know who's got it right.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
MLB.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
You can say whatever you want. The Players Union, they
don't mess around. They don't mess around because they say
we will stop games. You lose money, you lose fans.
They stopped and they stopped the World Series. And the
NFLPA is playing in players' faces with stuff like this
hiding for six months something that could be huge for
the players, huge for the players.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's absolutely terrible. Everybody in the PA, NFL P should
be fired, like immediately.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
It's going the world six months they sat on this
absolutely ridiculous
