(01:19):
back to when she was sixteen years old at the
Free Press and uh playing high school softball. But before
we get into this next topic about Jerry Jones and
the Cowboys. Yeah, Rob g Kelvin Alex you know I
had to, you know, our boycott restaurants when they do
(01:40):
stuff to me.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And by the way he means, like if they charge
the SODA's twenty five cent more, that's what he means.
We got a new one. Oh shoot, let me think,
Let me think. He don't really eat too many places.
That was so dramatic. We got a new and he
takes a drink of his watch. Hold on that version
of put the camera on me? That was your version
to put the camera on me? Rob, Which one are
(02:05):
we talking about? Pan Express? I'm not going to say
the name of it. I'm just not okay, but it
could be that place, Okay, Okay, I'm gonna say so.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
It's an Asian American food exactly, may or may not
have any exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I went into this is about to be you know,
I'm gonna be on Panda side. Not I was.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I was really really hurt and bothered so much that
I called the manager okay, oh.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, I want to get the fire or shrimp or
whatever that they have.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know, it's just kind of shrimp and vegetables or whatever.
And I get the small box, which is up charge
of a dollar fifty. I don't need a lot. It's
a small red box. Oh I'm sorry, small box.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, we didn't hear that. Oh you said box. I'm
sorry yep.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So I say to her, and I say to all
the people who you know, dish out the meal.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I had a glizzy orible, and I said, make sure
you put some shrimp in there.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's all I you know what I mean, Because sometimes
they'll they just can't be they'll over vegetable you right,
and not get and not give you shrimps up. This
chick had the nerve, the audacity, their mitigated gall to
count the shrimp she was putting in my box. No,
(03:34):
I've been eating this thing forever. Wow, no one has ever.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Counted the shrimp. Wait, so you walk me through this.
So she was count one, two, She counted to you, sir,
I put six on there. No, no, no, she's counting him
as she.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Put the men, basically saying, I'm only you're only allowed
to get five shrimp. I've had nine or ten. How
dare her say that I can only get five shrimp?
And it's small box and I've been eating you forever.
I've never ever had anybody count the shrimp. I said,
where's the manager? I got on the line. I said,
I'm not paying for that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I ain't paying for that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I ain't paying So what the manager say? Man just said, no,
that's a company part. I said, I you need it
just place all the time. I've never had anybody count shrimp.
It's like counting cards in Vegas. You're counting my shrimp
not quite the same bagget Wow, it's just closed. It
should be illegal. How do you so? I said, well,
what about if I get the beef? Are you counting
(04:33):
the pieces of beef that you put in that? Reverend?
Is a good question, and he said no, it's just
you just scoop it. So why are you counting my shrimp?
Have you had your shrimp counted before?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That sounded crazy. Don't ever ask me have I had
my shrimp county before? Hold up?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Hold up?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And it didn't come out. It didn't come out infinite?
How many sirs did you have? I had infinite.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Alex you, Rob G, come on, am I crazy?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I've never had my shrimp counted before. That's the new drop.
Just just go ahead, cut it now, Alex, I w
let's cut it now. I'm team not pandamic Express. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, I mean I'm on their side because I can't
say it's Panda Express, don't.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm team Asian American Restaurants Panda. Rob, you, you started
this whole situation because I told I leaning real aggressively.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't think you realized. I thought it was gonna
be a little while. I thought they were gonna tell
you they wanted to call you by an old name
like other people wanted to, like they were trying to
bring back the Washington name or something.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Crazy, Rob leans in all six foot nine of it.
I'm just like wearing his Nike tracksuit. Can you put
shrimp in that body?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah? I better not have no with the joke if
you want to just starting wonderful day out today and
yeah great, Well that's why we live in La ha ha.
You know what, this guy's so nice. I'm gonna give
him extra two to three. I wanted to make sure
I put some scrimps in there. You start off, you
don't know what she's been through today. Somebody else already
to put it.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
And she's like you roll up in a six hundred
thousand dollars car with the top down, sweating her about
a couple of scrimps.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now, let me ask you. You guys have eating at
restaurants like that?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Do you ever remember them counting? I'm being off.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'm being dead serious when I say this. They're getting
very tight. There's another place that people go for Southwest
Text Mex kind of food, and they have gotten beyond.
I've had them go back, you know, they school. They
go back and unscoop. What am I lying? Rob g
I They will scoop the chicken or the beef for whatever.
(06:42):
Scoop and when you go oop like oops, I put
too much in there and take it off. Yep. Because
they're managers and I've seen new ownership, I can always
tell what they're doing ownership, or at least you're I
go all, you're new, aren't you? This is their third day,
so they're nervous. When you get somebody, you need somebody
who's been there five six years, heavy handed scoop and
don't even care don't have to tell you that the
(07:04):
real ones.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
There's sandwich shops where if you order a small sandwich
you get two slices of cheese, you get a large,
which is double the size, and they only give you
three and they'll just space before.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
But that's that's where we're at now. Yeah, they kind
the managers on their heads.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I'm out, and now that lady is gonna get fired
because you had to call the manager over your three shrimp.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I did ridiculous. You're in, you don't count, you left,
you get a fool back. Of course I'm not paying
for that. I wouldn't pay for that side. When well,
we're gonna have a story where Alex is not on
Rob side. Alex is a logical life.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
There was literally a whole social media thing about Chipotle
giving people like four pieces of chicken for their burritos.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Do you remember this? We keep trying to not name names. Rob,
They were coming in restaurant to answer your question. Rob
Parker is Aaron Judge and Alex is Rob Parker.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Wow, wow, oh god, oh god, that's Roger.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You see what you see what Rob just said right there?
Oh my god? Oh Rob.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Okay, but you're right, though, we shouldn't have to suffer
for your guys of shortcomings exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Maybe I should just tell you, though, if you order
the fire shrimp five pieces, but it doesn't say that.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And I've been at places where I've had nine pieces
of shrimp.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That was that person being too nice. That's what I
tried to know. That was that person. Oh now they
over here, I'm told they taking meat back. Hold up,
Jerry Jones, let's go to jokes. I ain't got none
to say about Jerry Jones anymore moral stories, Jerry Jones,
be and Jerry Jones. Here's what Jerry Jones had to
say about the idea of Michael Parsons and his new deal.
Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I hate when I get four pieces of shrimp Michael
Parsons looking like a seven piece shrimp, maybe a ten.
But if he don't get hurt, we might have to
change the box color the blue Alex.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That was That was great. That was great Alex. And
so there you have it, all right, be right back
with JA. No, I don't even got nothing to say now,
not a Jerry that smoke we go shoot play that
for me?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Just because we signed him doesn't mean, we're going to
have him. He was hurt six games last year. Seriously,
we've signed I remember signing a player for the highest
paid at the position in the league and he got
knocked out two thirds of the year, Dark Prescott. So
there's a lot of things you can think about, just
as the player does when you're thinking about committing and
(09:26):
guaranteeing money.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, Rob, I'm so done with Jerry Jones. Like I'm
officially done with Jerry Jones. He went on to say,
you know, he talked about a guy could get hit
in the car crash and all that, and you can
get well, Jerry. I can get struck by lightning, Jerry
a piano colo. I can walk outside and the looting
to his piano falls on me. And that's exactly why
(09:49):
I want to get paid. Because I can get hit
by train, A piano can follow me. Anything can happen,
and I want to get as much as I can
win I can while I can. Because the NFL is
not guaranteed contracts. We know that for the portion that
is guaranteed, we know careers are what three years long,
three and a half, three and a half years long.
So I'm trying to get as much as I can't,
(10:09):
just like you are so the idea that oh, well
something can happen. And also, don't add fifty percent more
than my injury. I missed four games, not six. And
you are the one who waited to pay Dak Prescott
all the money. So you waited, you could have probably
had him for about thirty eight forty. None of it
makes any sense.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
None of it makes sense, Jerry, for him to say
what he's saying, if he's not paying the guy and
just say you're not gonna pay him, you know what
I mean, he's gonna pay the part. That's what I'm saying.
It doesn't make any sense. It's it's kind of silly
for him to say that. And then you do cause
hard feelings that should be negotiated behind closed doors. That's
why you have negotiations, and you don't put that out
(10:49):
so that people don't have those hard feelings.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You know you could get hit by first of all,
why would you even put as they say, put that
on my name. Even some people say, don't put that
out there in the atmosphere. Oh, you know a guy
can get hit by a car. Well, you can get
hit by a car. Jerry, Now you don't own the
Cowboys anymore. Like, what are we doing now, Rob, Well,
we're talking about these random acts of God that can happen. Well,
you know, you can get hit by a car. What
(11:12):
is that? Anybody can get hit by a car anything.
What does that have to do with him? Deal with iHeart?
They didn't say, Well, Kelvin, we were going to sign
you for this, but we started thinking about it. You
could get hit by a car. You know, LA's got
a lot of cars. So we're not gonna sign you
Kelvin to that much because you could get hit. You know,
we got a lot of earthquakes here, and then earthquake
can open up the earth and then you fall down
(11:33):
in the middle of the earth.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They told me that's why I wasn't gonna get the
bonus that I thought I was gonna get, because you
get hit by.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
A car exactly. You know, Rob, you could go somewhere
get the wrong piece of shrimp and then it gets
stuck in your throat and that could happen, and then
that could get hit by it, and then you could
get hit by a car walking out while you're sick
from the shrimp. Like, are you kidding me, Jerry, I
never had my shrimp counted before. I am so hurt
over this. That just sounds crazy. By the way, though,
shrimp what do you call those shrimp? Hey? You ever
(12:03):
had your scrimps county? Oh? That sounded that sounds crazy.
It sounds like Jerry Jones is what it sounds like.
I hit buy a car. I'm just blown away by you.
I'm so over Jerry Man. Now now I had no itser.
I didn't care if the Cowboys went to the playoffs, want
to super No, Now, I don't want the Cowboys do anything.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Well, you know, the good news is that Michael Parks
has already said publicly, I don't got to be the
highest paid.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And that was the other part, you know, now, Jerry Jones,
all right, well you ain't gonna be the highest paper.
I'm mad. I got Rob Parker in real time right
about him out here doing his own contract out there.
I don't care if I'm the highest. I need you
to play. I just want to play. I just don't
even know. I just want to be a cowboy. Shut up,
even if you do, just tell me I'm your Jerry McGuire,
I'm your Jerry McGuire. I'll make the deal happen, and
(12:48):
you can have both things. The highest paid defensive player
and you can be with the Cowboys. Hush, can you're
giving Jerry Amo? I'm sorry man, eight seven seven. I'm
gonna count my shrimp. Don't count ever on to wait,
okay one two three four. I was so pissed. I
was like, I'm not paying for that.
Speaker 3 (13:08):

To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast

Speaker 5 (14:51):
This was Rob singing to that little box of shrimps.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Dang, this is you singing it at them scrimps that
you had to get rid of it. Rob, No, when
they took the box back, he said, No, another one
by sea dust for Rob. When it comes to me,
I need a nine piece, That is all I'm saying.
When she's counting the scrimps, settle down. I cover Rob
(15:15):
Parker kelvin Washington on a Magic City Monday.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You know, he wanted to swing so bad and give
her the Oh God.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's what he was hoping she would do it. His shrimps,
just throw me in a box like why Mama, lulah,
that's what you're used to getting. But you got a one, two, three,
four five. Jamel Hill on the way, we can ask
her about the script conversation as well. I know Jamel
will definitely be on your side with that. She would. Yeah,
we get talked to her in just a little bit.
And for over forty years, tire Reck has been helping

they drive ship fast and free back by free Road
has a protection with convenient insulation options like mobile tire Insulation,
tire reck dot com. It is the way tire buying
should be. All right, quick, good. A couple of calls here,
Jerry Jones, uh, kind of talking crazy like Jerry does
about Michael Partery. Say he can go out there and
get hit by a car just because he don't want
(16:09):
to pay people guaranteed contracts and big money. Say you
want to pay what you want to pay, but the
car thing makes no sense. That's over the top. Don't
be bringing that up. And then don't even say it
all in very missing, mixing up the facts. He didn't
miss six games. He missed four, eight, seven, seven ninety nine.
On Fox we'll take some calls. Who we got Orlando
and l Passo. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
(16:30):
What's up doing good?
Speaker 10 (16:36):
He's just so sick and tired. And Jerry Jones saying
it's more nonsense from him. The heighting machine perfonified. The
only rings Jerry Jones is getting these days are from
the dry map.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That was a good one.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
Thank you, thank.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You very good.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Orlando.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I like that. Keep going.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
It's just it's so frustrating. But I am not buy
anything Cowboys related to Cowboys apparel because it's just nonsense.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
He does not give.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
Them about winning, and it's so frustrating. It's more evident
than ever he only cares about his ego and making money.
That's all he turns off.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You heard that from a cowboy fan. That's real. Appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Appreciate it. How about Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What's up, Drake?
Speaker 12 (17:25):
He how you doing? Thanks for taking a call. Listen.
Cowboys fans pushing back. That's encouraging to see. I think, Jerry,
you know it's going to be happening to come from
the fans to push back. Iver he agreed he will
change his ways up. But speaking of things that are crazy, Rob,
them counting that shrimp, that that that was wild that
you mentioned, and have you ever.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Been like that?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
They don't you not supposed to count shrimp? I've never
seen that before.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
It's unacceptable, and I know that we got to get
to we got to give credit to the mom and
pop shops. Okay, Rob, you're from the city, you know
we got to go to the logan that mom and
pop shops they're giving.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
You good point. They load you up on the shrimp.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Am I right, they got a staple of box clothes
because there's so many shrimp popping out of there.
Speaker 12 (18:04):
Exactly, you go and get that combination, you're gonna eat
good at the local mom and pop shop for two
or three days. So that's just crazy counting the trip.
But in terms of Jerry Jones, this is a part
for the course for him, all right, this is it's
all about Jerry. Previous college said he's got to be
out front.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
He he's got.
Speaker 12 (18:18):
To be in the news cycle giving his take, irregardless
of how it affects the organization. But the bottom line
is all that happens in the end is to get
the Cowboys end up paying more money because he strings
these things out and negotiations go on and on, and
then the salaries go up because the money's always going
up for the players, and it ends up hurting the
Cowboys in the end because a good deal that would
have been good with favor of both sides is mysed
(18:40):
and then they have to pay more over time, and
then you just kind of go go forward from there.
So it's not going to stop. Hope, I'm glad the
Cowboys fans are pushing back. But first round exit or
lottery lottery on three for the Cowboys. Thanks taking the call.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Appreciate it, no doubt, thank you. Can I can I
give Rob g credit for once? Rob G. The only
time I am up at he is with Chinese food.
That's the only time I gotta. I can't do the
little better and get this whole meal for six ninety No, No,
that's too inexpensive something.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
What nah, I've never had my shrimp counting before.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yeah, that me that streets are saying you pay extra
to get your shrimp. County, Rob, don't.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Count my shrimp. Are we that juvenile? We can make anything?
Don't count my shrimp. Don't count my shrimp. But that's
the first part. You started off with the lady like that.
Shut up. No, I said to her, make sure you
put the shrimp in that bar. You can't start with.
Make make sure you can't start You can't start with.
Make can't do that. Why make sure put the camera,
(19:50):
I said, put the shrimp on me.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Rob. You've seen Seinfeld, haven't you.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Of course he has.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
That's like a classic episode when he calls the guy
that does a wake up calls.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
Make sure you call me. He's like, you tell me
how to do my job. You can't do rob, You
can't start with a woman. Make sure whoa? I didn't
want her to sure change me. Then you say how

sure that nobody, make sure, don't count my spunake into
it to you? Make sure you whoa? How would you
have said that sentence exactly this exact kind of how
you doing? Saying let me do the fire?
Speaker 7 (20:53):

you know every time I come here sometimes they be
a little light on you. Boy, Look I can a
little couple of extra take care of me. She was like, guys,

do not care about your seven ag. She might have
got a tip. You were not gonna tip nobody I

would have just been all but make sure. And now

Hey, Brian in Vegas, real quick. You're in the couple
of Fox Sports rare. I know, could you believe you
said that? I've never had my shrimp counted before?
Speaker 11 (21:44):
Crazy guys. Look, I got I got more to say
about this shrimp situation.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Ahead, be yeah, go ahead, Jerry, Jerry and Jerry.
Speaker 12 (21:52):
Look.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
Look, I'm a corporate trainer for a franchise, okay, you know,
for the Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. We're all over come
check us out. But man, I'm telling you that we
preach about consistency all the time, so I get the
idea of what they're doing. But if somebody it's it's
those rogue owners that allow people to put extra in there.
(22:13):
And then Rob Jig or Rob comes, he tries to
get his shrimps and then he gets disappointed.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
No, he's not on your side. He's on the businesses
my side.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
He understands, like exactly, because if somebody says that, it
makes it a point to me that it gets satisfaction
all day.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
I'm gonna hook you up because I'm gonna make sure
that that person comes back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Because there you go. And that was that the point,
Brian was I eat here.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
They never counted my shrimp, and today, so why are
you counting my shrimp?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I want to know to make sure you didn't lead
with love. You're supposed to lead with kindness. Jamel, we're
gonna ask to male now that you bury the headline
that you told her, and make sure what the attitude
Jamel is going to be on. I was with you
until you said make sure, all right, let's get to show.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I had to say you better put more than five.
I've never had my shrimp counted before.
Speaker 1 (23:07):

Kevin Washington on a Magic City Monday. We're joined now
by Jamail Hill, author contributing writer with The Atlantic. Make
sure that check out the Unbothered Pod as well. And Jamel,
you are the perfect person to have this conversation. That's right.
I need Jamel from our backup. Make sure you don't
(23:44):
bury the headline this time. Jamel, how are.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
You some Asian American food is what kind of places?
I don't know the name of it, but yeah, red
box or whatever. And I was buying Jamel, like a
small box and I look at the woman and I
just said to her.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Dad, keep this part saying how you said? I just so,
why are you counting my shrimp? No? I said, make
sure make sure there's some shrimp in there. That's what
I said to her.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
This woman had had the augas the audacity to count
my shrimp any other thing that they're putting, Jamel. They're
just scooping and putting into the box. Right, She's counting
my shrimp, and I'm like, she gave me like five shrimp,
it's like nine dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So of course I called for the manager. I'm like,
I've been eating at this place forever. No one has
ever counted my shrimp before. Blah blah blah blah. Walked
out because because I'm not paying for five shrimp. She
doesn't count the beef, she doesn't count the chicken. Why
are you counting the shrimp.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
In this academy? You know why she counted the shrimp
because considered a li the more high end, they're more premium,
they're more premium. So she might have been it might
have been an order that don't give out more than five.
Five is your max.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
But I've had more where I've never seen anybody like
one to like actually count the shrimp into the box.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
That was the thing that now tonight, Jamel, this is
what I told him I was with of in the
first block. He told me that I was what I
understand how we like, I said the same thing you said, look,
it's getting tight out here. But then the second block
he comes back and said, yeah, you know, I said,
I told her. Make sure it's some shrimping that I said, Rob,
Make sure you can't tell a woman make sure nothing.
Made sure the minute she heard, make sure all extra kindness,
(25:38):
extra little. I'm only supposed to give you five, a nine,
and gave you eight. It's all gone, it's off the window.
Make sure it was a rat once. Am I wrong?
Speaker 14 (25:46):
Okay, so it is definitely true. You probably triggered her,
even though you weren't wrong with wanting more shrimp. That
wasn't the issue. But when you made it kind of
come off like a command, even though you weren't in
the right. Okay, Okay, you guys, no women well enough
to know that what is the number one thing when
(26:08):
it comes to dealing with us. It's like you got
to watch that tone. You gotta watch the tone. Like
I could be wrong, but if that tone ain't right,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Our producer robbed you is like Rob six foot nine
standing over her, going make sure I get fox.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
The minute she heard. Make sure jamail she heard was
one one more after that.
Speaker 12 (26:28):
Make sure it was good.
Speaker 14 (26:31):
And Rob, you kind of sounded like Chris Rock and
I'm gonna get you sucker like right, remember.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
That he drove off of a six hundred thousand dollars car,
like she only gonna beat five scrimps.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Boy, you arguing over some Hey, you know what it's
like w NBA players. They want more shrimp and I
don't know, Jamel, I don't have I don't have enough
shrimp to give. You know, they got there making demands.
I want to see them turn around this forty million
dollar loss this past year.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
Okay, so let me break it down. Break it down,
so if whatever can be broke, Rob, you are a
veteran journalist who have covered, who has covered enough labor
negotiations in Major League Baseball. What do owners always try
to prove before a or during any kind of labor team.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
They're not making any money exactly exactly.
Speaker 14 (27:22):
So let me ask you this, Rob. If the WNBA
is such a bad investment, how are their five teams
being added by twenty thirty? If it's such a bad investment,
how is it that the Golden State Valkoyurie's team valuation
is five hundred million dollars The new York Liberties is
four hundred and twenty three million. The Indiana Fever is
three hundred million. They have nine of their thirteen teams
(27:44):
are valued at over two hundred million dollars. The players
see this, there's a two point two billion dollar media
rights deals starting next year. You damn right.
Speaker 12 (27:54):
They want some more shrimp.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Okay, yeah, but Jamel, what about the third years of
shrimp they were eating? When they were eating the government strimp?
And that w for WNBA stood for welfare? What about
those thirty years?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
IGNI, I don't know.
Speaker 14 (28:09):
What about the fifty years it took the NFL to
turner profit?
Speaker 12 (28:12):
What about the forty.
Speaker 14 (28:13):
Five years it took the NBA to turn a profit?
And guess what happened during that time? They never stopped
fighting for more pay. The players continue to make money.
That's like saying, but this fine radio station that y'all
work for right now? You mean to tell me it's tomorrow.
If they take a gift in stocks, or if they
lose money, then you shouldn't be paid.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
No, Kelvin's gotta go. I'm gonna be Here's that's a
great point because that happens all the time. Stocks go
down we lost this quarter. We lost you know, ten million,
twenty million dollars, but our check still clash every two weeks.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
Ye look, Tesla lost money for seventeenth straight years. Elon
Musk is now one of the richest people in the world.
The whole point is this is you cannot have a
league that you want to take to the next level
where the women are only making nine percent, nine percent
of the revenue. Now I'm not saying that maybe it
should be a fifty to fifty split. I don't know
(29:07):
exactly what the appropriate number is, but it can't be nine.
Even UFC, which has a notorious reputation for not paying
their fighters, it's eighteen percent. So if you want to
stop your product from going overseas and perhaps getting detained
by a country like Russia, then you're going to have
to pay them more money. This is part of how
(29:28):
you elevate the league. You have to protect and invest
in the players and the women are just saying, listen,
we were with this league because this you know, this
was the case where we had to share hotel rooms,
where we were riding on Southwest and not even getting
into a group mind you, Okay, all of that we
(29:49):
had to go through all of that. So, yeah, you
don't have to run us some money. It only makes sense.
They don't have a pension. They just in the last
CBA they finally fought to get some paid maternity the
league so they would still even get paid when they
weren't playing. So these are important steps that we have
seen every single league make.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
You know.
Speaker 14 (30:11):
You know this as well, gentlemen, with the history of
the NBA, the merger between the ABA and the NBA
is what changed the salary structure. And even then, when
the NBA was considered a terrible product, you had Kareem,
you had Walt Frazer, you had Bill Bradley, you had
a bunch of players making six figures. Kareem Abduel with
Jabbar was making more in the early seventies than the
(30:34):
highest paved player in the WNBA is making now. Yeah,
and that league and the WNBA is in a far
better shape than the NBA was before. Magic and Bird
basically saved the league.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Jamel, how many w NBA games have you been to
this year?
Speaker 14 (30:49):
I'm actually going to my first one next week.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
As all right, I'm glad you're going to go to that.
That's always Wilson in the building. People don't go get
unless it's Kaitlyn Clark. I mean, there's still a lot
of empty seats in the league this year. Even with
Kaitlyn Clark and her bump and all her magic and
all that.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Still the league is going to lose forty million dollars
this year.
Speaker 14 (31:12):
Well but Rob though, Rob, again, how much you know
this as much as I do. Those books can look
however they want them to look. The reason why billionaires
are tearing acl to buy sports teams is because they
are amazing tax shelters. Now. When the NBA locked out
in twenty eleven, when they played a sixty something game season,
(31:35):
the NBA owners cried and said they were losing a
billion dollars. In nineteen ninety nine, they claimed that eighty
percent of the teams were not profitable in the NBA.
They do this time and time again. They do it
to create a narrative to turn the fans against the players,
when the players are the ones that they should be
siding with. All I'm saying is this, we haven't seen
(31:57):
a single p and l aprofit of lost statements from anybody.
We do not know how much they're taking in. We
do know that the league made over two hundred million
dollars last year and they're claiming a forty million dollar loss.
I know in twenty twenty one, Steve Bombers paid more
taxes or paid less taxes than Lebron James. The Steve
Bombers worth one hundred and thirty billions. You know why
(32:19):
because he claimed he lost seven hundred million with the Clippers. Now,
I ask yourself, if it was such a terrible business
and it was so terrible to own the Clippers and
they really cost him seven hundred million dollars, do you
think he still owned the Clippers?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
No? Okay, you touched on so much, Jamil, we're out
of time here, but that you touched on so much.
That meaning when we had this initial conversation, I mentioned
that listen, are they over here turning hand over fist
bunch of money? Maybe not, But it took Amazon a
decade to have a profitable year, took the NBA, as
you mentioned, forty something years. My whole point is, if
people are still willing to invest in, clearly there's something
(32:53):
worthwhile and they only want to get more than nine percent.
That was my whole point nine percent is incredibly low.
When you are the service to goods, the offer them
six percent and just meet them in the hand. And
that's why you only get five shrimp exactly. And there
you have it, Jamel, What have you on to gain
when me and him argue about the Lions making Now
(33:13):
you know she's not a Lions fan, so she might
be on your side on my side on this one.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
The lion's making a mel No playoffs for the Lions windows.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Louisiana rub, hot take and hot honey wings is what
I want. Louisiana rub and hot honey them the dust
the wings I want Right there, you can keep your
little little William lemon peppers. Thank you so much.

contributing writer for the Atlantic and Jamel and I go
(01:19):
back to when she was sixteen years old at the
Free Press and uh playing high school softball. But before
we get into this next topic about Jerry Jones and
the Cowboys. Yeah, Rob g Kelvin Alex you know I
had to, you know, our boycott restaurants when they do
(01:40):
stuff to me.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And by the way he means, like if they charge
the SODA's twenty five cent more, that's what he means.
We got a new one. Oh shoot, let me think,
Let me think. He don't really eat too many places.
That was so dramatic. We got a new and he
takes a drink of his watch. Hold on that version
of put the camera on me? That was your version
to put the camera on me? Rob, Which one are
(02:05):
we talking about? Pan Express? I'm not going to say
the name of it. I'm just not okay, but it
could be that place, Okay, Okay, I'm gonna say so.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
It's an Asian American food exactly, may or may not
have any exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I went into this is about to be you know,
I'm gonna be on Panda side. Not I was.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I was really really hurt and bothered so much that
I called the manager okay, oh.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, I want to get the fire or shrimp or
whatever that they have.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know, it's just kind of shrimp and vegetables or whatever.
And I get the small box, which is up charge
of a dollar fifty. I don't need a lot. It's
a small red box. Oh I'm sorry, small box.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, we didn't hear that. Oh you said box. I'm
sorry yep.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So I say to her, and I say to all
the people who you know, dish out the meal.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I had a glizzy orible, and I said, make sure
you put some shrimp in there.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's all I you know what I mean, Because sometimes
they'll they just can't be they'll over vegetable you right,
and not get and not give you shrimps up. This
chick had the nerve, the audacity, their mitigated gall to
count the shrimp she was putting in my box. No,
(03:34):
I've been eating this thing forever. Wow, no one has ever.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Counted the shrimp. Wait, so you walk me through this.
So she was count one, two, She counted to you, sir,
I put six on there. No, no, no, she's counting him
as she.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Put the men, basically saying, I'm only you're only allowed
to get five shrimp. I've had nine or ten. How
dare her say that I can only get five shrimp?
And it's small box and I've been eating you forever.
I've never ever had anybody count the shrimp. I said,
where's the manager? I got on the line. I said,
I'm not paying for that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I ain't paying for that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I ain't paying So what the manager say? Man just said, no,
that's a company part. I said, I you need it
just place all the time. I've never had anybody count shrimp.
It's like counting cards in Vegas. You're counting my shrimp
not quite the same bagget Wow, it's just closed. It
should be illegal. How do you so? I said, well,
what about if I get the beef? Are you counting
(04:33):
the pieces of beef that you put in that? Reverend?
Is a good question, and he said no, it's just
you just scoop it. So why are you counting my shrimp?
Have you had your shrimp counted before?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That sounded crazy. Don't ever ask me have I had
my shrimp county before? Hold up?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Hold up?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And it didn't come out. It didn't come out infinite?
How many sirs did you have? I had infinite.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Alex you, Rob G, come on, am I crazy?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I've never had my shrimp counted before. That's the new drop.
Just just go ahead, cut it now, Alex, I w
let's cut it now. I'm team not pandamic Express. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, I mean I'm on their side because I can't
say it's Panda Express, don't.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm team Asian American Restaurants Panda. Rob, you, you started
this whole situation because I told I leaning real aggressively.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't think you realized. I thought it was gonna
be a little while. I thought they were gonna tell
you they wanted to call you by an old name
like other people wanted to, like they were trying to
bring back the Washington name or something.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Crazy, Rob leans in all six foot nine of it.
I'm just like wearing his Nike tracksuit. Can you put
shrimp in that body?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah? I better not have no with the joke if
you want to just starting wonderful day out today and
yeah great, Well that's why we live in La ha ha.
You know what, this guy's so nice. I'm gonna give
him extra two to three. I wanted to make sure
I put some scrimps in there. You start off, you
don't know what she's been through today. Somebody else already
to put it.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
And she's like you roll up in a six hundred
thousand dollars car with the top down, sweating her about
a couple of scrimps.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now, let me ask you. You guys have eating at
restaurants like that?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Do you ever remember them counting? I'm being off.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'm being dead serious when I say this. They're getting
very tight. There's another place that people go for Southwest
Text Mex kind of food, and they have gotten beyond.
I've had them go back, you know, they school. They
go back and unscoop. What am I lying? Rob g
I They will scoop the chicken or the beef for whatever.
(06:42):
Scoop and when you go oop like oops, I put
too much in there and take it off. Yep. Because
they're managers and I've seen new ownership, I can always
tell what they're doing ownership, or at least you're I
go all, you're new, aren't you? This is their third day,
so they're nervous. When you get somebody, you need somebody
who's been there five six years, heavy handed scoop and
don't even care don't have to tell you that the
(07:04):
real ones.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
There's sandwich shops where if you order a small sandwich
you get two slices of cheese, you get a large,
which is double the size, and they only give you
three and they'll just space before.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
But that's that's where we're at now. Yeah, they kind
the managers on their heads.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I'm out, and now that lady is gonna get fired
because you had to call the manager over your three shrimp.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I did ridiculous. You're in, you don't count, you left,
you get a fool back. Of course I'm not paying
for that. I wouldn't pay for that side. When well,
we're gonna have a story where Alex is not on
Rob side. Alex is a logical life.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
There was literally a whole social media thing about Chipotle
giving people like four pieces of chicken for their burritos.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Do you remember this? We keep trying to not name names. Rob,
They were coming in restaurant to answer your question. Rob
Parker is Aaron Judge and Alex is Rob Parker.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Wow, wow, oh god, oh god, that's Roger.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You see what you see what Rob just said right there?
Oh my god? Oh Rob.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Okay, but you're right, though, we shouldn't have to suffer
for your guys of shortcomings exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Maybe I should just tell you, though, if you order
the fire shrimp five pieces, but it doesn't say that.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And I've been at places where I've had nine pieces
of shrimp.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That was that person being too nice. That's what I
tried to know. That was that person. Oh now they
over here, I'm told they taking meat back. Hold up,
Jerry Jones, let's go to jokes. I ain't got none
to say about Jerry Jones anymore moral stories, Jerry Jones,
be and Jerry Jones. Here's what Jerry Jones had to
say about the idea of Michael Parsons and his new deal.
Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I hate when I get four pieces of shrimp Michael
Parsons looking like a seven piece shrimp, maybe a ten.
But if he don't get hurt, we might have to
change the box color the blue Alex.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That was That was great. That was great Alex. And
so there you have it, all right, be right back
with JA. No, I don't even got nothing to say now,
not a Jerry that smoke we go shoot play that
for me?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Just because we signed him doesn't mean, we're going to
have him. He was hurt six games last year. Seriously,
we've signed I remember signing a player for the highest
paid at the position in the league and he got
knocked out two thirds of the year, Dark Prescott. So
there's a lot of things you can think about, just
as the player does when you're thinking about committing and
(09:26):
guaranteeing money.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, Rob, I'm so done with Jerry Jones. Like I'm
officially done with Jerry Jones. He went on to say,
you know, he talked about a guy could get hit
in the car crash and all that, and you can
get well, Jerry. I can get struck by lightning, Jerry
a piano colo. I can walk outside and the looting
to his piano falls on me. And that's exactly why
(09:49):
I want to get paid. Because I can get hit
by train, A piano can follow me. Anything can happen,
and I want to get as much as I can
win I can while I can. Because the NFL is
not guaranteed contracts. We know that for the portion that
is guaranteed, we know careers are what three years long,
three and a half, three and a half years long.
So I'm trying to get as much as I can't,
(10:09):
just like you are so the idea that oh, well
something can happen. And also, don't add fifty percent more
than my injury. I missed four games, not six. And
you are the one who waited to pay Dak Prescott
all the money. So you waited, you could have probably
had him for about thirty eight forty. None of it
makes any sense.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
None of it makes sense, Jerry, for him to say
what he's saying, if he's not paying the guy and
just say you're not gonna pay him, you know what
I mean, he's gonna pay the part. That's what I'm saying.
It doesn't make any sense. It's it's kind of silly
for him to say that. And then you do cause
hard feelings that should be negotiated behind closed doors. That's
why you have negotiations, and you don't put that out
(10:49):
so that people don't have those hard feelings.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You know you could get hit by first of all,
why would you even put as they say, put that
on my name. Even some people say, don't put that
out there in the atmosphere. Oh, you know a guy
can get hit by a car. Well, you can get
hit by a car. Jerry, Now you don't own the
Cowboys anymore. Like, what are we doing now, Rob, Well,
we're talking about these random acts of God that can happen. Well,
you know, you can get hit by a car. What
(11:12):
is that? Anybody can get hit by a car anything.
What does that have to do with him? Deal with iHeart?
They didn't say, Well, Kelvin, we were going to sign
you for this, but we started thinking about it. You
could get hit by a car. You know, LA's got
a lot of cars. So we're not gonna sign you
Kelvin to that much because you could get hit. You know,
we got a lot of earthquakes here, and then earthquake
can open up the earth and then you fall down
(11:33):
in the middle of the earth.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They told me that's why I wasn't gonna get the
bonus that I thought I was gonna get, because you
get hit by.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
A car exactly. You know, Rob, you could go somewhere
get the wrong piece of shrimp and then it gets
stuck in your throat and that could happen, and then
that could get hit by it, and then you could
get hit by a car walking out while you're sick
from the shrimp. Like, are you kidding me, Jerry, I
never had my shrimp counted before. I am so hurt
over this. That just sounds crazy. By the way, though,
shrimp what do you call those shrimp? Hey? You ever
(12:03):
had your scrimps county? Oh? That sounded that sounds crazy.
It sounds like Jerry Jones is what it sounds like.
I hit buy a car. I'm just blown away by you.
I'm so over Jerry Man. Now now I had no itser.
I didn't care if the Cowboys went to the playoffs, want
to super No, Now, I don't want the Cowboys do anything.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Well, you know, the good news is that Michael Parks
has already said publicly, I don't got to be the
highest paid.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And that was the other part, you know, now, Jerry Jones,
all right, well you ain't gonna be the highest paper.
I'm mad. I got Rob Parker in real time right
about him out here doing his own contract out there.
I don't care if I'm the highest. I need you
to play. I just want to play. I just don't
even know. I just want to be a cowboy. Shut up,
even if you do, just tell me I'm your Jerry McGuire,
I'm your Jerry McGuire. I'll make the deal happen, and
(12:48):
you can have both things. The highest paid defensive player
and you can be with the Cowboys. Hush, can you're
giving Jerry Amo? I'm sorry man, eight seven seven. I'm
gonna count my shrimp. Don't count ever on to wait,
okay one two three four. I was so pissed. I
was like, I'm not paying for that.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
This was Rob singing to that little box of shrimps.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Dang, this is you singing it at them scrimps that
you had to get rid of it. Rob, No, when
they took the box back, he said, No, another one
by sea dust for Rob. When it comes to me,
I need a nine piece, That is all I'm saying.
When she's counting the scrimps, settle down. I cover Rob
(15:15):
Parker kelvin Washington on a Magic City Monday.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You know, he wanted to swing so bad and give
her the Oh God.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's what he was hoping she would do it. His shrimps,
just throw me in a box like why Mama, lulah,
that's what you're used to getting. But you got a one, two, three,
four five. Jamel Hill on the way, we can ask
her about the script conversation as well. I know Jamel
will definitely be on your side with that. She would. Yeah,
we get talked to her in just a little bit.

they drive ship fast and free back by free Road
has a protection with convenient insulation options like mobile tire Insulation,
tire reck dot com. It is the way tire buying
should be. All right, quick, good. A couple of calls here,
Jerry Jones, uh, kind of talking crazy like Jerry does
about Michael Partery. Say he can go out there and
get hit by a car just because he don't want
(16:09):
to pay people guaranteed contracts and big money. Say you
want to pay what you want to pay, but the
car thing makes no sense. That's over the top. Don't
be bringing that up. And then don't even say it
all in very missing, mixing up the facts. He didn't
miss six games. He missed four, eight, seven, seven ninety nine.
On Fox we'll take some calls. Who we got Orlando
and l Passo. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
(16:30):
What's up doing good?
Speaker 10 (16:36):
He's just so sick and tired. And Jerry Jones saying
it's more nonsense from him. The heighting machine perfonified. The
only rings Jerry Jones is getting these days are from
the dry map.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That was a good one.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
Thank you, thank.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You very good.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Orlando.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I like that. Keep going.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
It's just it's so frustrating. But I am not buy
anything Cowboys related to Cowboys apparel because it's just nonsense.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
He does not give.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
Them about winning, and it's so frustrating. It's more evident
than ever he only cares about his ego and making money.
That's all he turns off.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You heard that from a cowboy fan. That's real. Appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Appreciate it. How about Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What's up, Drake?
Speaker 12 (17:25):
He how you doing? Thanks for taking a call. Listen.
Cowboys fans pushing back. That's encouraging to see. I think, Jerry,
you know it's going to be happening to come from
the fans to push back. Iver he agreed he will
change his ways up. But speaking of things that are crazy, Rob,
them counting that shrimp, that that that was wild that
you mentioned, and have you ever.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Been like that?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
They don't you not supposed to count shrimp? I've never
seen that before.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
It's unacceptable, and I know that we got to get
to we got to give credit to the mom and
pop shops. Okay, Rob, you're from the city, you know
we got to go to the logan that mom and
pop shops they're giving.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
You good point. They load you up on the shrimp.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Am I right, they got a staple of box clothes
because there's so many shrimp popping out of there.
Speaker 12 (18:04):
Exactly, you go and get that combination, you're gonna eat
good at the local mom and pop shop for two
or three days. So that's just crazy counting the trip.
But in terms of Jerry Jones, this is a part
for the course for him, all right, this is it's
all about Jerry. Previous college said he's got to be
out front.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
He he's got.
Speaker 12 (18:18):
To be in the news cycle giving his take, irregardless
of how it affects the organization. But the bottom line
is all that happens in the end is to get
the Cowboys end up paying more money because he strings
these things out and negotiations go on and on, and
then the salaries go up because the money's always going
up for the players, and it ends up hurting the
Cowboys in the end because a good deal that would
have been good with favor of both sides is mysed
(18:40):
and then they have to pay more over time, and
then you just kind of go go forward from there.
So it's not going to stop. Hope, I'm glad the
Cowboys fans are pushing back. But first round exit or
lottery lottery on three for the Cowboys. Thanks taking the call.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Appreciate it, no doubt, thank you. Can I can I
give Rob g credit for once? Rob G. The only
time I am up at he is with Chinese food.
That's the only time I gotta. I can't do the
little better and get this whole meal for six ninety No, No,
that's too inexpensive something.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
What nah, I've never had my shrimp counting before.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yeah, that me that streets are saying you pay extra
to get your shrimp. County, Rob, don't.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Count my shrimp. Are we that juvenile? We can make anything?
Don't count my shrimp. Don't count my shrimp. But that's
the first part. You started off with the lady like that.
Shut up. No, I said to her, make sure you
put the shrimp in that bar. You can't start with.
Make make sure you can't start You can't start with.
Make can't do that. Why make sure put the camera,
(19:50):
I said, put the shrimp on me.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Rob. You've seen Seinfeld, haven't you.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Of course he has.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
That's like a classic episode when he calls the guy
that does a wake up calls.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
Make sure you call me. He's like, you tell me
how to do my job. You can't do rob, You
can't start with a woman. Make sure whoa? I didn't
want her to sure change me. Then you say how
you doing today? A little joe? Then you're going, now
you know good? What I'm gonna need more?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Defy? So why are you counting my shrimp? FaceTime me
next time? Let me do what you Yes, you probably
make sure you whoa? Rob g The minute she heard
that the rest was gone? Right? Didn you turn it?
She was? She wasn't making it in front of you.
(20:36):
She would have been it. Yes, I wasn't nasty too.
I just wanted to make sure. You can't say make
sure that nobody, make sure, don't count my spunake into
it to you? Make sure you whoa? How would you
have said that sentence exactly this exact kind of how
you doing? Saying let me do the fire?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
What? Whatever? With the shrimp? And I said, all right, now,
you know every time I come here sometimes they be
a little light on you. Boy, Look I can a
little couple of extra take care of me. She was like, guys,
just look at that. No, she was saying, no, we
cannot take care of you. No, that would have come
on Rogers, your boy, all right, make sure you get out.
She look at you and just said, shut up, don't
(21:13):
use me on me eleven ninety five an hour. I
do not care about your seven ag. She might have
got a tip. You were not gonna tip nobody I
want to tip. No, you would not chuck your luggage.
That's a report I was talking to me.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I was gonna say I would tell her dope bet
on the races. That would be my tiptok man, that
would have just been all but make sure. And now
I'm starting to think you want the commander's name, Shane.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
No, there you go.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Hey, Brian in Vegas, real quick. You're in the couple
of Fox Sports rare. I know, could you believe you
said that? I've never had my shrimp counted before?
Speaker 11 (21:44):
Crazy guys. Look, I got I got more to say
about this shrimp situation.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Ahead, be yeah, go ahead, Jerry, Jerry and Jerry.
Speaker 12 (21:52):
Look.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
Look, I'm a corporate trainer for a franchise, okay, you know,
for the Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. We're all over come
check us out. But man, I'm telling you that we
preach about consistency all the time, so I get the
idea of what they're doing. But if somebody it's it's
those rogue owners that allow people to put extra in there.
(22:13):
And then Rob Jig or Rob comes, he tries to
get his shrimps and then he gets disappointed.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
No, he's not on your side. He's on the businesses
my side.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
He understands, like exactly, because if somebody says that, it
makes it a point to me that it gets satisfaction
all day.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
I'm gonna hook you up because I'm gonna make sure
that that person comes back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Because there you go. And that was that the point,
Brian was I eat here.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
They never counted my shrimp, and today, so why are
you counting my shrimp?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I want to know to make sure you didn't lead
with love. You're supposed to lead with kindness. Jamel, we're
gonna ask to male now that you bury the headline
that you told her, and make sure what the attitude
Jamel is going to be on. I was with you
until you said make sure, all right, let's get to show.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I had to say you better put more than five.
I've never had my shrimp counted before.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Jamail Hill on the other side. What's trending with Steve
right now?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to

Speaker 1 (23:22):
All right, Steve, make sure you have a great rest
of your day. It is the odd couple Rob Parker
Kevin Washington on a Magic City Monday. We're joined now
by Jamail Hill, author contributing writer with The Atlantic. Make
sure that check out the Unbothered Pod as well. And Jamel,
you are the perfect person to have this conversation. That's right.
I need Jamel from our backup. Make sure you don't
(23:44):
bury the headline this time. Jamel, how are.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
You some Asian American food is what kind of places?
I don't know the name of it, but yeah, red
box or whatever. And I was buying Jamel, like a
small box and I look at the woman and I
just said to her.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Dad, keep this part saying how you said? I just so,
why are you counting my shrimp? No? I said, make
sure make sure there's some shrimp in there. That's what
I said to her.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
This woman had had the augas the audacity to count
my shrimp any other thing that they're putting, Jamel. They're
just scooping and putting into the box. Right, She's counting
my shrimp, and I'm like, she gave me like five shrimp,
it's like nine dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So of course I called for the manager. I'm like,
I've been eating at this place forever. No one has
ever counted my shrimp before. Blah blah blah blah. Walked
out because because I'm not paying for five shrimp. She
doesn't count the beef, she doesn't count the chicken. Why
are you counting the shrimp.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
In this academy? You know why she counted the shrimp
because considered a li the more high end, they're more premium,
they're more premium. So she might have been it might
have been an order that don't give out more than five.
Five is your max.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
But I've had more where I've never seen anybody like
one to like actually count the shrimp into the box.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
That was the thing that now tonight, Jamel, this is
what I told him I was with of in the
first block. He told me that I was what I
understand how we like, I said the same thing you said, look,
it's getting tight out here. But then the second block
he comes back and said, yeah, you know, I said,
I told her. Make sure it's some shrimping that I said, Rob,
Make sure you can't tell a woman make sure nothing.
Made sure the minute she heard, make sure all extra kindness,
(25:38):
extra little. I'm only supposed to give you five, a nine,
and gave you eight. It's all gone, it's off the window.
Make sure it was a rat once. Am I wrong?
Speaker 14 (25:46):
Okay, so it is definitely true. You probably triggered her,
even though you weren't wrong with wanting more shrimp. That
wasn't the issue. But when you made it kind of
come off like a command, even though you weren't in
the right. Okay, Okay, you guys, no women well enough
to know that what is the number one thing when
(26:08):
it comes to dealing with us. It's like you got
to watch that tone. You gotta watch the tone. Like
I could be wrong, but if that tone ain't right,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Our producer robbed you is like Rob six foot nine
standing over her, going make sure I get fox.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
The minute she heard. Make sure jamail she heard was
one one more after that.
Speaker 12 (26:28):
Make sure it was good.
Speaker 14 (26:31):
And Rob, you kind of sounded like Chris Rock and
I'm gonna get you sucker like right, remember.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
That he drove off of a six hundred thousand dollars car,
like she only gonna beat five scrimps.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Boy, you arguing over some Hey, you know what it's
like w NBA players. They want more shrimp and I
don't know, Jamel, I don't have I don't have enough
shrimp to give. You know, they got there making demands.
I want to see them turn around this forty million
dollar loss this past year.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
Okay, so let me break it down. Break it down,
so if whatever can be broke, Rob, you are a
veteran journalist who have covered, who has covered enough labor
negotiations in Major League Baseball. What do owners always try
to prove before a or during any kind of labor team.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
They're not making any money exactly exactly.
Speaker 14 (27:22):
So let me ask you this, Rob. If the WNBA
is such a bad investment, how are their five teams
being added by twenty thirty? If it's such a bad investment,
how is it that the Golden State Valkoyurie's team valuation
is five hundred million dollars The new York Liberties is
four hundred and twenty three million. The Indiana Fever is
three hundred million. They have nine of their thirteen teams
(27:44):
are valued at over two hundred million dollars. The players
see this, there's a two point two billion dollar media
rights deals starting next year. You damn right.
Speaker 12 (27:54):
They want some more shrimp.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Okay, yeah, but Jamel, what about the third years of
shrimp they were eating? When they were eating the government strimp?
And that w for WNBA stood for welfare? What about
those thirty years?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
IGNI, I don't know.
Speaker 14 (28:09):
What about the fifty years it took the NFL to
turner profit?
Speaker 12 (28:12):
What about the forty.
Speaker 14 (28:13):
Five years it took the NBA to turn a profit?
And guess what happened during that time? They never stopped
fighting for more pay. The players continue to make money.
That's like saying, but this fine radio station that y'all
work for right now? You mean to tell me it's tomorrow.
If they take a gift in stocks, or if they
lose money, then you shouldn't be paid.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
No, Kelvin's gotta go. I'm gonna be Here's that's a
great point because that happens all the time. Stocks go
down we lost this quarter. We lost you know, ten million,
twenty million dollars, but our check still clash every two weeks.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
Ye look, Tesla lost money for seventeenth straight years. Elon
Musk is now one of the richest people in the world.
The whole point is this is you cannot have a
league that you want to take to the next level
where the women are only making nine percent, nine percent
of the revenue. Now I'm not saying that maybe it
should be a fifty to fifty split. I don't know
(29:07):
exactly what the appropriate number is, but it can't be nine.
Even UFC, which has a notorious reputation for not paying
their fighters, it's eighteen percent. So if you want to
stop your product from going overseas and perhaps getting detained
by a country like Russia, then you're going to have
to pay them more money. This is part of how
(29:28):
you elevate the league. You have to protect and invest
in the players and the women are just saying, listen,
we were with this league because this you know, this
was the case where we had to share hotel rooms,
where we were riding on Southwest and not even getting
into a group mind you, Okay, all of that we
(29:49):
had to go through all of that. So, yeah, you
don't have to run us some money. It only makes sense.
They don't have a pension. They just in the last
CBA they finally fought to get some paid maternity the
league so they would still even get paid when they
weren't playing. So these are important steps that we have
seen every single league make.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
You know.
Speaker 14 (30:11):
You know this as well, gentlemen, with the history of
the NBA, the merger between the ABA and the NBA
is what changed the salary structure. And even then, when
the NBA was considered a terrible product, you had Kareem,
you had Walt Frazer, you had Bill Bradley, you had
a bunch of players making six figures. Kareem Abduel with
Jabbar was making more in the early seventies than the
(30:34):
highest paved player in the WNBA is making now. Yeah,
and that league and the WNBA is in a far
better shape than the NBA was before. Magic and Bird
basically saved the league.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Jamel, how many w NBA games have you been to
this year?
Speaker 14 (30:49):
I'm actually going to my first one next week.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
As all right, I'm glad you're going to go to that.
That's always Wilson in the building. People don't go get
unless it's Kaitlyn Clark. I mean, there's still a lot
of empty seats in the league this year. Even with
Kaitlyn Clark and her bump and all her magic and
all that.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Still the league is going to lose forty million dollars
this year.
Speaker 14 (31:12):
Well but Rob though, Rob, again, how much you know
this as much as I do. Those books can look
however they want them to look. The reason why billionaires
are tearing acl to buy sports teams is because they
are amazing tax shelters. Now. When the NBA locked out
in twenty eleven, when they played a sixty something game season,
(31:35):
the NBA owners cried and said they were losing a
billion dollars. In nineteen ninety nine, they claimed that eighty
percent of the teams were not profitable in the NBA.
They do this time and time again. They do it
to create a narrative to turn the fans against the players,
when the players are the ones that they should be
siding with. All I'm saying is this, we haven't seen
(31:57):
a single p and l aprofit of lost statements from anybody.
We do not know how much they're taking in. We
do know that the league made over two hundred million
dollars last year and they're claiming a forty million dollar loss.
I know in twenty twenty one, Steve Bombers paid more
taxes or paid less taxes than Lebron James. The Steve
Bombers worth one hundred and thirty billions. You know why
(32:19):
because he claimed he lost seven hundred million with the Clippers. Now,
I ask yourself, if it was such a terrible business
and it was so terrible to own the Clippers and
they really cost him seven hundred million dollars, do you
think he still owned the Clippers?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
No? Okay, you touched on so much, Jamil, we're out
of time here, but that you touched on so much.
That meaning when we had this initial conversation, I mentioned
that listen, are they over here turning hand over fist
bunch of money? Maybe not, But it took Amazon a
decade to have a profitable year, took the NBA, as
you mentioned, forty something years. My whole point is, if
people are still willing to invest in, clearly there's something
(32:53):
worthwhile and they only want to get more than nine percent.
That was my whole point nine percent is incredibly low.
When you are the service to goods, the offer them
six percent and just meet them in the hand. And
that's why you only get five shrimp exactly. And there
you have it, Jamel, What have you on to gain
when me and him argue about the Lions making Now
(33:13):
you know she's not a Lions fan, so she might
be on your side on my side on this one.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
The lion's making a mel No playoffs for the Lions windows.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Louisiana rub, hot take and hot honey wings is what
I want. Louisiana rub and hot honey them the dust
the wings I want Right there, you can keep your
little little William lemon peppers. Thank you so much.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
