Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, oh yeah, you can't enjoy it, Ron, I appreciate
the acne that was on your face.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
It was terrible.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
All right, Rob G, you're the resident Laker fan. Oh geez,
and just explain. Here's Lebron and Ad and here they
all come. Here we go again complaining that the Lakers
don't have enough. Now, Ad is one of the best
players in the league, Lebron everybody. All they talk about
(02:16):
is they can't believe the numbers he's putting up at
age forty and he's unbelievable. And who do we say,
Austin Reives is playing JJ Reddick like an All star
h and it's still.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Okay, Rob g spell it.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
Out well, Rob. Here's the thing is, it's not just
any one story.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
We're talking about one today, but this has been building,
like getting to the crescendo here in about a week.
Last week, Lebron and JJ Reddick on that record telling
me telling Rob Parker do his face.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
This is not sources. This is me telling you, you know.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
What, we got to have play perfect basketball because our
margin for error is so thin based on our roster construction.
Flash forward to Wednesday today. Early this morning, Sean Sharania
puts out an article for ESPN dot com saying that
leak sources have told him that Lebron and Ad are
quote growing concerned about the Lakers' inability to make roster
(03:17):
upgrades with their two tradable first round picks. This has
been an ongoing thing basically since they won that Bubble championship.
Lebron and Ad once again frustrated that they don't got
all the best players in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
All right, you're the Lebron homer, so good ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
No, you know me, I keeps it real. Don't care
who it is. I can like you, but still keep
it real. And that's what I do. And let's get
to that. This is the annual cry from Lebron. This
is the annual we're kind of muddling along, we're not dominating,
and this is the annual thing.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I thought it was the coach's fault, Darvin Ham.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Right, No, this is the annual Frank Vogel. Oh, yep,
darkm that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
JJ. You know, we're just it ain't working. Da da
da dad.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
So even JJ's truming, JJ said they are a he
loves they're a great team when they're all healthy and
all competing.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well, great, No you're not. You're not a great team.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yes, you have played solidly to the tune of twenty
three and eighteen, which is not that it's not. But
the good thing about that for them, I will say
is this season the West isn't as crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You know how the West has been.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Still you gotta be fifteen twenty games ahead just to
be a top seven eight seed right now. The real
quick they're a half game away from a fifth seed.
So that's the only thing I'm saying that's in their
favor right now is that they're out of that play in.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But this is where I just every year it's always
oh well, you know, like people count them in like
they're right there, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And I don't think they're right there.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Well, that's still that's why Lebron and Ad and even
j are saying they're putting pressure on Rob Polinka.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But this thing, but how many how many people you need?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well, so this is right, So this is the annual
They go out and get you know, make a random
trade and like Dorian Finnie Smith and it's like okay,
like I guess, brother, and that the highest right. But
and this is what you have to understand. The challenge
(05:16):
with Lebron at this point is he still is controlling
the game. He's using the ball, He has the ball
so much. He just he controls so much of it
that even if you get high caliber guys who can play,
they're now lesser versions of themselves. So you're not getting
the same guy that you thought you were getting. You
understand what I mean. They go and get a couple
(05:36):
of guys from Miami over the last couple of years now,
they've been hurt, but they haven't played Gay. Vincent hasn't
worked out like you would have thought it was. You
got obviously, d Lo wasn't quite working. It was on
and off. It was on and off, like they keep
getting guys you know that solid, but you thought they
were gonna bring more. The issue is they're so inconsistent
how they're being utilized that they can never capitalize on
(05:57):
set talent. So what they keep being is go get
me a three and D guy, let me go do
the rest me meaning me, Lebron and ad No, y'all
need a legit third guy that can sometimes tell Lebron
you the third guy tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Good luck with that. And that's the challenge.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Hey, Lebron, say, I need a guy where I can
actually be the third guy for the next two thirds
of the rest of the season and then we get
to the postseason. I can do what I do and
that is going to be upon him to have to
be okay with that.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But here's the problem with this whole narrative and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
This continues to make the case anti Lebron for being
the all time the goat.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Seriously that you.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Bellyate every year, that is not about you, that you
need somebody else or somebody else to do something for
you to be able to win. I gotta stack my team.
I gotta trade away all the young players and just
get anybody what we can take right now to try
to help me win. Like this is on and on
a story. And I don't think that looks good for
(07:00):
Lebron to have a D by your side. Seriously, most
teams need two players, right like to make two players. Okay,
and you got a guy I thought Austin Reezy sight
one talking about he had a career at thirty eight
the other night, Oh my god, he's playing like an
All Star, all this other stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
They're not talented enough. I mean period. That's just if
you look at okay see and they ain't even got
chat holmgrem. You look at what Cleveland's doing. They got
All Star, like four or five All Star caliber guys,
not saying they are, but caliber. The Lakers don't have that.
They got Lebron All Star eighty, clearly an All Star.
Austin Reeves is like, Wow, he's a good guy, but
he ain't an All Star. So they definitely are undermanned,
(07:45):
and Rob Polinka has failed them in that regard because
you know what he hasn't done, Rob, He hasn't snuck
one up on us. What I mean is we're sitting
there at home and you went to bed and you
woke up. Oh snap, they didn't got Zach Levine or
they done pulled off Jimmy Butler or whatever it would
be where you go, oh shit, he hasn't pulled that
off lately, uh to for them to compete. So I
do think there's an element of their griping, their complaining,
(08:07):
and this is the annual griping complaining, and it ain't happy.
And then in a minute they're gonna turn on jj.
That's just what they do. That's just what you know.
How many how many coaches are the Lakers paying right now?
My gosh. But on the other side, Rob Plinka hasn't
done a great job in surprise us, you know what
I mean, with a good move like other.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Teams like what what what? What else does Lebron needy?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You need him to go get This isn't Lebron, This
isn't but this is yeah, no, no, you wouldn't see that
wouldn't be that. You wouldn't want the Kevin Urant. That
would be an obvious You would want your general manager
to pull off something you didn't see. That's why I
say surprise. Whether it's a guy like who, Let's say,
I mean, I'm just making it up because I don't know.
I don't have in front of me all the people
who available. But let's say it was Let's say it
(08:47):
was a Demarta Rosen because he was having some issues
up there in Sacramento. They kind of writing the ship.
Now they won nine out of ten. Uh, now that
they got a new coach, Doug Christie's coaching. But let's
say it was a Demata Rosen and it just costs
you a one random pick in two or three years.
And now you got a legit guy and can go
out there and get you twenty twenty something tonight and
you can play some defense. You know, a veteran guy
but not too old, right like Jimmy Butler's a little
(09:08):
too old or something like that. So now you got
a guy that you can say, all right, we got
a real legit third guy night and night out and
get you twenty. They're not surprising what they keep getting
a Fenny and Smith, they go get a Gabe Vincent,
they go get a You know those types of guys
where you're just like, all right, I guess like, ain't
nothing else out there, but I just I don't know
(09:29):
if Cam Reddish, You're like, what level are you looking for?
So all those players are second tier, so you need
a one? What are they looking for?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
When you say a third guy, you're not looking for
Kevin Durant or Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Are you know? I'm saying that's what let's say. Let's
say I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Here's another kind of real example, because this guy's been
on the trading blocks for years now, Zach Levine, because
it's just never was working in Chicago's entire career there.
But he's really talented, really good, just not necessarily a
winning caliber guys singularly, like you can't him, he by
himself does an equal winning but maybe you look at him,
you say, look, man, you come over here with the A
D who's gonna play some of the best defense you've
(10:09):
ever seen and obviously capable down low scorer. And then
you got Lebron who was playoff savvy. You've never experienced
this caliber of you know, like where the like, hey,
come play when it matters. Now, zach Levine might be all.
So you get zach Levine, you win in the championship.
Is that what you're telling me? No, you got a
fighters chance because outside of one or two teams, I mean,
that's all they can ask for. Rod, Like if you
(10:30):
if the Lakers put themselves in a win, you agree
with this and they win now or nothing. That's because
that God forbid they get young guys and.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Give it to it. You understand that when you get
in bed with Lebron. That's what I got. That.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
But this idea that every year, no matter what they do,
I actually agree with it.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Is that is that no matter what happened.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
This coach, I agree. Let me see, we won the
end season tournament. We hung up a battle, but Darmenham's
no good. We got to the Western Conference finals with
Vogel won you a championship.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You trade off ball, You got rid of all the
players that helped his idea of def He was a
defensive minded guy and now he's no good.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I agree. So what I'm saying like this is what
is he talking? This they want him to do.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
And this is why I keep telling people in all sports,
but especially uh, you know, just like what's your identity?
And this is where JJ Reddick came in and y'all
don't understand I'm about to change the game.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I'm about to do this.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Okay, It's like JJ, I don't know what y'all do well.
And with Frank Vogel, rob you know, g You know
this as a Laker fan. When you had Frank Vogel
with KCP, with Rondo, with McGee, you still had the
last little bit of defense that Lebron could play, Kyle Kuzma, Caruso.
You had a defensive team who had an identity. We
(11:46):
played great defense, We take care of the ball, and
we got Lebron and Ad and some shooters. You had
an identity when you had Frank Vogan. And I'm not
saying Frank Vogel is Phil Jackson, but my point is
you can't just keep getting rid of guy, get rid
of this guy, get rid and not have an identity.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
What do the Roger you loved it? What do they do?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I can tell you what OKAYC does. I can tell
you what Cleveland does good for for better or worse.
I can tell you what the pistons do? You got
the building next? And that's what Roger, you know, I mean,
j J ready, you don't even know what I'm about
to be doing. I already see what are you all
do that?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
If they shoot, they're terrible shooting threes. And guess what
they've been terrible at the last five years, Rogie shooting threes.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I don't know. They're no play fast, they're not lockdown defense.
What did they do?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
What's the comedy nominator in all this? Lebron and Ady
was one guy is Lebron James. He they go as
he goes. They first started with Logel they were gonna
play lockdown defense. We're not gonna be a great offense.
And we already know that we're gonna defend our asses.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And be efficient with the offense like we're gonna we
know every possession matter.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's playing matter door defense.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And that was the last run of him actually playing
some run. And you know they did. They said, Frank,
damn man, you gotta go yep because the offense ain't working,
it's not creative enough. And by the way, we got
rid of all the people that made you good by
away exactly. Rondo's gone gone, Dwight Howard's gone.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Two big guys.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They got rid of both of them, get out of
cost you nothing and now saying we need a center.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
We need to know the center. For three years the
Lakers have needed another center. It's like what they and
they got rid of both.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I was like, cost you nothing to have Dwhite and
Javail blocking shots getting tipped. That was a perfect when
when when when a d couldn't handle the uh jokic
yep throwing? But right did you throw in D White
to bang them around for fifteen to twenty minutes?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So yeah, it was just one of those Like.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
But doesn't it as a Laker fan, you are now
honor rary even though you're a Pistons guy.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Yeah, I mean, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Frustrates you a little bit because you can go down
the list of all the teams in the Western Conference.
Every team in the playoff has a roster imperfection somewhere,
like even OKC. If Shaye turns an ankle, who creates
office for him? They don't have one, right Williams. Really,
I mean nice, he's not you know, I think good
say he's not a one. But but they got guys
(14:00):
over there, Houston. You need to tell me that if
you're in a series with the Lakers, who's got the
do best players?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Lakers?
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Okay, the Denver Nuggets don't have a bench at all, Like.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
What made them so rough because they got the best
player in the league exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
You know, that's the one team the Lakers don't matter.
Just have no answer to the Clippers. We don't know
what and so you could do. You could play this
game with every team in the West. But when it's
Lebron James and if he doesn't have a Kyrie Anda
Kevin Love, and it's.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Like, do we got I mean, I know the hashtag
future Laker thing is like a bit that I do,
like we get all the best players, but we don't
actually get all the best players. And if Lebron doesn't
have the deck stacked ridiculously in his favor.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's what he's always upset about it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Specifically, at this point, it's a birthright and at this
point in age, he can't do what.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I think part of him robs both y'all.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I think he thinks he's twenty eight year old in Cleveland, like,
you know, I don't need much He could take the
me and you, Alex and and both Robs and Alex
and myself into the finals when he was that great.
Now he needs help because I mean you should. You're forty.
Of course you need help. But he thinks in his
mind going into a season like, oh we need is
just this, Give me a couple spot up shooters and
(15:14):
three and D guys and that's all we need.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
No, Lebron, you you need more eight seven seven ninety

You're on the odd couple of Fox Sportsuadio. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Guys?
Speaker 9 (18:16):
How you doing doing well? Ken? Yeah, I gotta tell you, man,
your argument kind of flogged there because you were using
teams like the Cavs and the Thunder. But if you
think about those teams were built through the draft, and
maybe Donovan Mill Donovan Mitchell with the Rockets and all
those teams are built from the draft, And think about
(18:37):
when Lebron first got there, when you had Brandon Ingram
and Alice Caruso and those guys. You know, if you
that got elevate those players.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yes, I've been screaming this.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That's been my point, Chili, is that the Lakers don't
developing drafty.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
They keep going for the big name, big guy, big guy.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
And Steph Curry. What did he tell the ward is, hey,
don't trade those draft sticks. Keep those guys. I may
not be much longer, and I want to see you
guys go on from the cut and build just like
you built our team right and not being it's always about.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Him and it is.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
But you know that that's the thing that nobody everything
you just said, everyone knows you got the Steph loves
the Warriors as an organization. He's committed. That's like a
family to him. Lebron dollars, Yeah, Lebron is a mercenary.
I'm going who you know? And part of that is
you know when you sign up is win or no
win or going like that's what it is. We ain't
got time to be developing. Ain't nobody got time for
(19:29):
brandon Ingland to get better. Lin's O ball and gotta
get better?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Uh, Kevin in Culver City, you're in the couple of
Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (19:37):

Speaker 9 (19:47):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Man, I want to give a little shout to Manci.
Your boys just had that call the Oka City, Oklahoma
City Thunder, okayc Thunder. They were rebuilt because of one guy,
Kawhi Leonard won a play with Paul George and force
shy Us Alexander the best player in the league to
go to Oklahoma Ce who should have been a Quipper.
So that's why they got rebuilt to how they are.
They got shy in.

you come on. We got to bring that of course.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Of course, look Lebron James, just stop it, stop it.
There's only one player you want. We know you're flirting
with him. Jimmy Butler and pat Riley the former Laker
is not going to give you Jimmy Butler unless you
give up off. Yes, that's straight hip and that first
round draft pick. Maybe you get Kyle Kuzma from Washington,
Maybe you get a Valance soonis. But they're gonna want
(20:46):
to give you Jordan Pill and that Jordan pulling that
bad contract. You gonna have to say something back. Zach
Lavine that contracts trying to be every team's gonna want
Austin Reeves, and the Lakers have said they will not
trade Austin every and why n and Kevin?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Why would anybody help the Lakers without trying to fleece them, Right,
you got to try to get something nobody.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
Wants to help the Lakers. Look, they made their bed.
They got to just go through with Jared Vanderbilt and
during Finnish Smith and their perimeter defenders and hope that
lebron can get the found of use for a playoff runt.
I don't think they're going to compete against Oklahoma City better.
That team is too young and athletic, too many wings,
and there's no answer for Shy. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
The only thing I will argue with you on that, keV,
is that they have zero answer for a D and
that could be present a problem.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
But we'll have to wait and see, keV. Thank you
for the call. All right. On the way, we got
the hot seat with Iowa.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Sam. Should be interesting to see he from. Yeah, I
do think Heven had a shirt on time I see it.
I don't think I've ever seen him not without a shirt.
But so we got that to hope. No, no, I
don't want to see you. No, he's always got an
Iowa shirt on. All right, he's coming in the studio now.
Manzi Blanyos is selling us right now with trendy.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Damn sun.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The current temperature. The odd couple are making it hot
in here, Damn hot. Time to sit your butt down
in cooking the hot seat.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Yes, it is the hot seat. The semement you've all
been waiting for a sement. We invite one of our
Fox Sports Radio teammates to get in to the square
circle with the tag team Champions of the World. This
week's victim, I mean participant, oh my, none other than
Fox Sports Radio technical producer, one of the few guys
where no one actually knows his.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Last name because he's a brand.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
At this point, when nobody knows your last name, Iowa Sam.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
That's actually a great point. I don't know it, but
it's not Sam. It's Iowa Sam Sam. Okay. Here's the thing, though,
you don't know this.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Okay, But Chris Brussar lived in Iowa, and what to
a high school? Right, you're not to my high school,
not to yours, but the Arrival high school didn't you
go to? No, he went to high school because it's
like more high schools in Iowa. No, there's more than that.
But he went to a high school in Des Moines.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Chris was one of two black people in Iowa. So
all moral.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Tropes, you said he was black, so I thought was
gonna says one up in the Okay, Okay, Oh you guys,
you know this segment works.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Iowa.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Sam has got three blistering hot takes. He's gonna vent
two to one one against the odd couple. Take number
one and this one is a doozy. What we got
Aaron Glenn, the new head coach of the New York Jetropolitans.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Iowa.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Sam says, why do they bother hiring him? He's destined
to fail in New York. Anyways, Sam, you got thirty
seconds to your case. Jets another head coaching vacancy. I'm
noticing a little pattern here, guys with a small outlier.
Robert Sala, Todd Bowles, Rex Ryan, Eric Man, Genie All
defensive assistants like Aaron either no success or some success
(24:03):
that could not be sustained in New York. Adam Gase
minimal head coaching experience, but he was actually fired by
the Dolphins before getting that Jets head coaching job. He
did get them the playoffs, but he's not even been
in the NFL since he got fired by the Jets
back in twenty ninety.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Sam, stop, and you just mentioned Rex Ryan. Can I
give you some history on Rex Yan and the Jets?
They went to two AFC Championship games. That wasn't forty
years ago.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
What did they do after that? Though your mic is
cut off, it's my toime, and my point is, you.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Don't know what's gonna happen with Aaron Glenn, just like
we didn't know what was gonna happen with Rex Ryan.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It has to play out, you listen. I'm glad Aaron
Glenn got the job.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
He deserves a head coaching job, but he feels like
that poor billy goat in Jurassic Park who's tied up
and ready to be eaten by a dinosaur, and that
dinosaur is cursed ownership. Aaron Glenn's fate is sealed Wood.
He Johnson would be better off bringing John Glenn back
from the dead and giving him the job. He's that
guy had some experience with rockets and Jets, you know
(25:10):
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
All Right?
Speaker 8 (25:11):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Hush my turn. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
The Jets have been terrible for quite some time, except
for Rex Ryan as you mentioned there, Rob, Guess what
who's been worse than them? The Detroit Lions have been
worse than them. And you know what, Aaron glib was
a part of the rebuild. He came from the bottom,
started from the bottom. Now he's here with an opportunity
to head coach. So he knows about building up something
that's bad. He knows about taking something that needs to regroup, retool,
(25:38):
and all of a sudden creates something and by god,
it can't get no worse.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Man.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Let me tell you, everybody knows how big of a
sports fan I am. That's why I would jedge laterally
know that you're the biggest, biggest of them all.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I know.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
I have to say.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Sam going deep into the well of the entertainment industry
and pulling out a cinematic gold reference to Jurassic Park
and using the Billy Goat that was tied up. And
we all remember Jeff goldblooms amous line, you forgot to
think if you should do it because you were too
busy thinking about doing it.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Yeah, so Sam gets the first point.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Ridiculous. Started to notice the train here Alex coaching. It's
all right, it's all right. He has to eaven it up. Unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
This one seems like it's directed specifically at Rob Parker
because Iowa, Sam says that would you say that hiding
behind your anonymous vote, you coward, Rob Parker?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
What should not be allowed, Sam, You had thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Stop hiding behind your anonymous vote.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Make all voters and their selection public as a condition
of having the vote. Listen, you eat your ro Suzuki
was not a unanimous MLB Hall On the MLB Hall
of Fame ballot, and going back to what at the
end of the w NBA season, Caitlin Clark got sixty
six out of sixty seven votes for Rookie of the Year.
Someone left her off and voted for Angel Reads, who
(26:55):
didn't even finish the season she was injured.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Hey there you go, Sam, make it public. You have
a right to vote.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
It doesn't have to be my vote is public, but
it doesn't have to be. When you went to the
polls and you made your selection for president, was it
broadcast or was it put in the newspaper for everybody
to know who you voted for?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
No, it was not, And if you did that, you would.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Probably stop people from being able to vote their real
hard because they're worried about what other people. This is
the most genuine thing is that it doesn't have to
be broadcast, it doesn't have to be published, but you
still have.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
A right to make a vote.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
I want to know what was in this voter's heart
to leave each Heiro off the ballot. That's what I
want to know, because this person either has a personal
grudge against Eachiro or doesn't know all the great things
he did in his career. All right, and so listen.
I'm not a fan of doxing people. I'm not a
fan of, you know, putting someone's address out on Twitter.
That's all horrible, malicious nonsense. But I do question your
(28:01):
motives when you are the one voter out of ninety
nine point seven percent of voters you put them on there,
and you were the one.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Guy, Why was your motives? Sam?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I actually understand what you're trying to say, but you
use the term have to and they don't have to
do anything. That's what makes us American, By golly, pay
your taxes and death. That's about the only thing you
have to do. In my case, in your case, we
got to stay black, that is for sure. Now, Also,
have you heard of this? People are crazy nowadays, Sam.
And if you put stuff on social media and you're
the one guy and you're like, I love Dick Jeter's
(28:31):
the favorite guy in the world, and you go find
this person because they didn't put Derek Jeter in all
of fame. Now, something could happen because we got some
looney tics out there who want to do something because
you didn't vote for each year row you didn't.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Vote for Derek. I want to know who and I
want to know why.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I have to say.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Ron Parker did bring up a very good scenario and
he said, what would happen if everybody had to know
who you voted for for president, for anything? God, it'd
be fun to come into work the next day. Let
me tell you a lot of people saying it that
it's a good thing. It's I just love what he said.
So point to the odd couplecause, Sam, it was fun
knowing you.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Bruh.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
All right, last one we saved the hottest take for
last Iowa, Sam with the dicable in the hots to
Here we go Sam. For whatever reason, Sam just loves
to see people of color get pulled over because.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
He's police need to crack down of those jerks who
drive through red lights.
Speaker 11 (29:26):
Sam, you got thirty seconds. Tell us why the hottest
of takes like a red light, the hot red fire.
I am this was not a thing growing up in Iowa.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Man.
Speaker 11 (29:34):
I didn't see this until I moved out to La
ten years ago. People just casually driving through red lights.
Where are you trying to get to? Where are you
trying to go? Why is your time more valuable than mine?
Why is my safety less valuable than yours?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Why?
Speaker 11 (29:47):
Why can't you just slow down? This is not like
it's yellow then it turns red. I'm talking about people
who are coming up to an intersection and then it
is red for a second or two.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
And they drive right through it. What are they doing?
Why they're why they're a bigger fish to fry.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
That, of course is a safety issue, but we want
the LAPD to crack down on some many other bad
stuff that's going on, the burglaries, the robbing, the stabbing,
all the other stuff. I want that man power used
on something that's way more important than a red light.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I understand the red light, but it ain't number one
on my guys. I don't know.
Speaker 11 (30:27):
It seems like since COVID, people just take matters in
their own hands, liberties, they just it's not even like
it's you get that little bit of grace period.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
When you do go through the red light. You know
you're probably not gonna like t bone somebody.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
It's the principle of the matter when I see you
just casually and lazily driving through a red light. I
was at an off ramp once and I was sitting
next to a cop and a dude drove right through
it red light, and that cop pulled him over, and
it felt so good I streaked in my car.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You know, snitches get stitches out here, all right, that's
what you're talking about here here, let me tell you something.
Number one, since you know this happens, all you gotta
do is wait an extra second and a half.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
They're like, you know, be all right. That's number one.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Number two, you're talking about people moving and going fast, y'all.
I have nowhere to go in Iowa. People got places
to go in La, all right. We got places to go,
places to be. And as Rob just mentioned too, we
got car chases, we got smashing grabs, we got police
and people trying to get home because of fire in
a neighborhood. They trying to get up out and evacuate.
We got real stuff. That's why just about ninety percent
(31:28):
of movies are based in La. Real stuff is happening
around here, all right, smoke man, hotter than red lights
and fire.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
What's incredible is that Sam actually did stand the test
of time. I'm glad he didn't shriek or shrivel or
withdraw against the mighty duo of the Odd Cup.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
But the thing that's crazy to me is, Sam, you
know that we're not in Iowa anymore?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I was aware? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Do you know that we have a yellow light too?
Do you know what that means? It means speed up.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
So that's why we basically have to make it through
that red blight is because we were literally given another
light to tell us to hurry the f up. So
I'm just saying odd Couple. Congratulations, that's what we know.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
What we know, moving violators.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
It's it's only fitting that the Odd Couple would take
on Iowa Sam and it would be a whitewash.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I'm just hey, you got nothing necess say that. Last

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Last call. Time on the odd call, last car. Here

Speaker 4 (34:27):
You're in the Odd Couple of Fox Sports Radio and
you are indeed the last call?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Were you jamming? Justin? Does give me a night?
Speaker 9 (34:37):
Hey, shout out to Hey, shout out to you, Alix,
just give me a life.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Man.
Speaker 10 (34:40):
We need to island representation on the gosh.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
It makes sense, Bermuda man, I felt racist. Appreciate I
felt racist. Where's the racist racist? Was that felt pretty racist?
I'm sorry, all right, go ahead, that's got to be racist.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Justin what you got, rob you?
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Sometimes you remind me of like that iced tea character
from Chappelle's Shaw We says like you were born hater.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
You are absolutely right about the lions.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Thank you, justin I said it all? How many times?
Was I saying it? Every week? Wasn't I saying it?
You were saying it.
Speaker 10 (35:16):
Hey, look you're gonna be right. Eventually you said earlier
about the window being closed. Check us out right. So
they still got a bunch of guys that have to
get paid, right, Jamis and Williams have to get paid.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Ayden Hutchinson's got.
Speaker 10 (35:29):
To get paid, Kirbye Joseph's got to get paid. Jamr
Gibbs got to get paid.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
But at some point, guys gotta go or you can't
keep the whole team together.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Right.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
Well, it was a dangerous part, especially since they really
had a chance to go to the Super Bowl last
year with thirty minutes to go in San Francisco that
didn't happen. And then you get the number one seed
this year right to come through Detroit and nine and
a half point favorites at home and it doesn't happen.
I mean, that is disappointing. And now you lose your
coordinators again. You hope that you can hold it together
(36:01):
the division gets better. Yeah, it's not easy.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
No, it's not. Nothing in the NFL is easy. We
know that. That's a very It's not like like in
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
If you got Lebron from the age twenty to thirty two,
you're pretty much guaranteed to be good. Maybe don't win
it every you're good. You got Kobe during that run magic,
you know what I mean. It's a little easier when
you get that guy. In the NBA, you got Shack
for eight year period, you're fine. NFL is not quite
like that. There's a lot of parody, things changed from
year to year. But when you have the core pieces,
to me, this is when you're you're good. Not that
(36:29):
you're gonna be winning fifteen games, but you've got the core.
And right now they have the core. They've got Aiden,
they've got Golf, they got im and Round say Bron,
they got Gibbs, they got Williams. They've got the core
to compete for the next three to four years. And
then from there you know from there, you see what
you got, and they got the coach too. He's gonna to,
but he's gonna have to replay some great coordinators. Fout doubt.
(36:50):
I'm buying for one second, No, you are buying. That's
what you did when it's saying when this song came on,
you buying a drink. Oh my god, don't act like
this one. You're a banker.
Speaker 3 (37:02):

Speaker 1 (01:23):
There's a few people I know got some stuff to say.
They couldn't get in. We asked some hot We got it.
We got it right at it. You and I, Yes,
we went straight to an and shake hands. I didn't

to it.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well that's how we do it, all we do. You

Give me the light. I'm gonna give it a rob G.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Now I'm gonna take back my vote because now every
time he plays that, I get more excited for the champal.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, oh yeah, you can't enjoy it, Ron, I appreciate
the acne that was on your face.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
It was terrible.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
All right, Rob G, you're the resident Laker fan. Oh geez,
and just explain. Here's Lebron and Ad and here they
all come. Here we go again complaining that the Lakers
don't have enough. Now, Ad is one of the best
players in the league, Lebron everybody. All they talk about
(02:16):
is they can't believe the numbers he's putting up at
age forty and he's unbelievable. And who do we say,
Austin Reives is playing JJ Reddick like an All star
h and it's still.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Okay, Rob g spell it.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
Out well, Rob. Here's the thing is, it's not just
any one story.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
We're talking about one today, but this has been building,
like getting to the crescendo here in about a week.
Last week, Lebron and JJ Reddick on that record telling
me telling Rob Parker do his face.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
This is not sources. This is me telling you, you know.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
What, we got to have play perfect basketball because our
margin for error is so thin based on our roster construction.
Flash forward to Wednesday today. Early this morning, Sean Sharania
puts out an article for ESPN dot com saying that
leak sources have told him that Lebron and Ad are
quote growing concerned about the Lakers' inability to make roster
(03:17):
upgrades with their two tradable first round picks. This has
been an ongoing thing basically since they won that Bubble championship.
Lebron and Ad once again frustrated that they don't got
all the best players in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
All right, you're the Lebron homer, so good ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
No, you know me, I keeps it real. Don't care
who it is. I can like you, but still keep
it real. And that's what I do. And let's get
to that. This is the annual cry from Lebron. This
is the annual we're kind of muddling along, we're not dominating,
and this is the annual thing.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I thought it was the coach's fault, Darvin Ham.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Right, No, this is the annual Frank Vogel. Oh, yep,
darkm that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
JJ. You know, we're just it ain't working. Da da
da dad.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
So even JJ's truming, JJ said they are a he
loves they're a great team when they're all healthy and
all competing.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well, great, No you're not. You're not a great team.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yes, you have played solidly to the tune of twenty
three and eighteen, which is not that it's not. But
the good thing about that for them, I will say
is this season the West isn't as crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You know how the West has been.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Still you gotta be fifteen twenty games ahead just to
be a top seven eight seed right now. The real
quick they're a half game away from a fifth seed.
So that's the only thing I'm saying that's in their
favor right now is that they're out of that play in.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But this is where I just every year it's always
oh well, you know, like people count them in like
they're right there, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And I don't think they're right there.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Well, that's still that's why Lebron and Ad and even
j are saying they're putting pressure on Rob Polinka.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But this thing, but how many how many people you need?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well, so this is right, So this is the annual
They go out and get you know, make a random
trade and like Dorian Finnie Smith and it's like okay,
like I guess, brother, and that the highest right. But
and this is what you have to understand. The challenge
(05:16):
with Lebron at this point is he still is controlling
the game. He's using the ball, He has the ball
so much. He just he controls so much of it
that even if you get high caliber guys who can play,
they're now lesser versions of themselves. So you're not getting
the same guy that you thought you were getting. You
understand what I mean. They go and get a couple
(05:36):
of guys from Miami over the last couple of years now,
they've been hurt, but they haven't played Gay. Vincent hasn't
worked out like you would have thought it was. You
got obviously, d Lo wasn't quite working. It was on
and off. It was on and off, like they keep
getting guys you know that solid, but you thought they
were gonna bring more. The issue is they're so inconsistent
how they're being utilized that they can never capitalize on
(05:57):
set talent. So what they keep being is go get
me a three and D guy, let me go do
the rest me meaning me, Lebron and ad No, y'all
need a legit third guy that can sometimes tell Lebron
you the third guy tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Good luck with that. And that's the challenge.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Hey, Lebron, say, I need a guy where I can
actually be the third guy for the next two thirds
of the rest of the season and then we get
to the postseason. I can do what I do and
that is going to be upon him to have to
be okay with that.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But here's the problem with this whole narrative and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
This continues to make the case anti Lebron for being
the all time the goat.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Seriously that you.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Bellyate every year, that is not about you, that you
need somebody else or somebody else to do something for
you to be able to win. I gotta stack my team.
I gotta trade away all the young players and just
get anybody what we can take right now to try
to help me win. Like this is on and on
a story. And I don't think that looks good for
(07:00):
Lebron to have a D by your side. Seriously, most
teams need two players, right like to make two players. Okay,
and you got a guy I thought Austin Reezy sight
one talking about he had a career at thirty eight
the other night, Oh my god, he's playing like an
All Star, all this other stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
They're not talented enough. I mean period. That's just if
you look at okay see and they ain't even got
chat holmgrem. You look at what Cleveland's doing. They got
All Star, like four or five All Star caliber guys,
not saying they are, but caliber. The Lakers don't have that.
They got Lebron All Star eighty, clearly an All Star.
Austin Reeves is like, Wow, he's a good guy, but
he ain't an All Star. So they definitely are undermanned,
(07:45):
and Rob Polinka has failed them in that regard because
you know what he hasn't done, Rob, He hasn't snuck
one up on us. What I mean is we're sitting
there at home and you went to bed and you
woke up. Oh snap, they didn't got Zach Levine or
they done pulled off Jimmy Butler or whatever it would
be where you go, oh shit, he hasn't pulled that
off lately, uh to for them to compete. So I
do think there's an element of their griping, their complaining,
(08:07):
and this is the annual griping complaining, and it ain't happy.
And then in a minute they're gonna turn on jj.
That's just what they do. That's just what you know.
How many how many coaches are the Lakers paying right now?
My gosh. But on the other side, Rob Plinka hasn't
done a great job in surprise us, you know what
I mean, with a good move like other.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Teams like what what what? What else does Lebron needy?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You need him to go get This isn't Lebron, This
isn't but this is yeah, no, no, you wouldn't see that
wouldn't be that. You wouldn't want the Kevin Urant. That
would be an obvious You would want your general manager
to pull off something you didn't see. That's why I
say surprise. Whether it's a guy like who, Let's say,
I mean, I'm just making it up because I don't know.
I don't have in front of me all the people
who available. But let's say it was Let's say it
(08:47):
was a Demarta Rosen because he was having some issues
up there in Sacramento. They kind of writing the ship.
Now they won nine out of ten. Uh, now that
they got a new coach, Doug Christie's coaching. But let's
say it was a Demata Rosen and it just costs
you a one random pick in two or three years.
And now you got a legit guy and can go
out there and get you twenty twenty something tonight and
you can play some defense. You know, a veteran guy
but not too old, right like Jimmy Butler's a little
(09:08):
too old or something like that. So now you got
a guy that you can say, all right, we got
a real legit third guy night and night out and
get you twenty. They're not surprising what they keep getting
a Fenny and Smith, they go get a Gabe Vincent,
they go get a You know those types of guys
where you're just like, all right, I guess like, ain't
nothing else out there, but I just I don't know
(09:29):
if Cam Reddish, You're like, what level are you looking for?
So all those players are second tier, so you need
a one? What are they looking for?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
When you say a third guy, you're not looking for
Kevin Durant or Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Are you know? I'm saying that's what let's say. Let's
say I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Here's another kind of real example, because this guy's been
on the trading blocks for years now, Zach Levine, because
it's just never was working in Chicago's entire career there.
But he's really talented, really good, just not necessarily a
winning caliber guys singularly, like you can't him, he by
himself does an equal winning but maybe you look at him,
you say, look, man, you come over here with the A
D who's gonna play some of the best defense you've
(10:09):
ever seen and obviously capable down low scorer. And then
you got Lebron who was playoff savvy. You've never experienced
this caliber of you know, like where the like, hey,
come play when it matters. Now, zach Levine might be all.
So you get zach Levine, you win in the championship.
Is that what you're telling me? No, you got a
fighters chance because outside of one or two teams, I mean,
that's all they can ask for. Rod, Like if you
(10:30):
if the Lakers put themselves in a win, you agree
with this and they win now or nothing. That's because
that God forbid they get young guys and.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Give it to it. You understand that when you get
in bed with Lebron. That's what I got. That.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
But this idea that every year, no matter what they do,
I actually agree with it.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Is that is that no matter what happened.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
This coach, I agree. Let me see, we won the
end season tournament. We hung up a battle, but Darmenham's
no good. We got to the Western Conference finals with
Vogel won you a championship.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You trade off ball, You got rid of all the
players that helped his idea of def He was a
defensive minded guy and now he's no good.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I agree. So what I'm saying like this is what
is he talking? This they want him to do.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
And this is why I keep telling people in all sports,
but especially uh, you know, just like what's your identity?
And this is where JJ Reddick came in and y'all
don't understand I'm about to change the game.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I'm about to do this.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Okay, It's like JJ, I don't know what y'all do well.
And with Frank Vogel, rob you know, g You know
this as a Laker fan. When you had Frank Vogel
with KCP, with Rondo, with McGee, you still had the
last little bit of defense that Lebron could play, Kyle Kuzma, Caruso.
You had a defensive team who had an identity. We
(11:46):
played great defense, We take care of the ball, and
we got Lebron and Ad and some shooters. You had
an identity when you had Frank Vogan. And I'm not
saying Frank Vogel is Phil Jackson, but my point is
you can't just keep getting rid of guy, get rid
of this guy, get rid and not have an identity.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
What do the Roger you loved it? What do they do?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I can tell you what OKAYC does. I can tell
you what Cleveland does good for for better or worse.
I can tell you what the pistons do? You got
the building next? And that's what Roger, you know, I mean,
j J ready, you don't even know what I'm about
to be doing. I already see what are you all
do that?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
If they shoot, they're terrible shooting threes. And guess what
they've been terrible at the last five years, Rogie shooting threes.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I don't know. They're no play fast, they're not lockdown defense.
What did they do?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
What's the comedy nominator in all this? Lebron and Ady
was one guy is Lebron James. He they go as
he goes. They first started with Logel they were gonna
play lockdown defense. We're not gonna be a great offense.
And we already know that we're gonna defend our asses.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And be efficient with the offense like we're gonna we
know every possession matter.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's playing matter door defense.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And that was the last run of him actually playing
some run. And you know they did. They said, Frank,
damn man, you gotta go yep because the offense ain't working,
it's not creative enough. And by the way, we got
rid of all the people that made you good by
away exactly. Rondo's gone gone, Dwight Howard's gone.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Two big guys.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They got rid of both of them, get out of
cost you nothing and now saying we need a center.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
We need to know the center. For three years the
Lakers have needed another center. It's like what they and
they got rid of both.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I was like, cost you nothing to have Dwhite and
Javail blocking shots getting tipped. That was a perfect when
when when when a d couldn't handle the uh jokic
yep throwing? But right did you throw in D White
to bang them around for fifteen to twenty minutes?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So yeah, it was just one of those Like.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
But doesn't it as a Laker fan, you are now
honor rary even though you're a Pistons guy.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Yeah, I mean, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Frustrates you a little bit because you can go down
the list of all the teams in the Western Conference.
Every team in the playoff has a roster imperfection somewhere,
like even OKC. If Shaye turns an ankle, who creates
office for him? They don't have one, right Williams. Really,
I mean nice, he's not you know, I think good
say he's not a one. But but they got guys
(14:00):
over there, Houston. You need to tell me that if
you're in a series with the Lakers, who's got the
do best players?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Lakers?
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Okay, the Denver Nuggets don't have a bench at all, Like.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
What made them so rough because they got the best
player in the league exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
You know, that's the one team the Lakers don't matter.
Just have no answer to the Clippers. We don't know
what and so you could do. You could play this
game with every team in the West. But when it's
Lebron James and if he doesn't have a Kyrie Anda
Kevin Love, and it's.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Like, do we got I mean, I know the hashtag
future Laker thing is like a bit that I do,
like we get all the best players, but we don't
actually get all the best players. And if Lebron doesn't
have the deck stacked ridiculously in his favor.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's what he's always upset about it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Specifically, at this point, it's a birthright and at this
point in age, he can't do what.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I think part of him robs both y'all.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I think he thinks he's twenty eight year old in Cleveland, like,
you know, I don't need much He could take the
me and you, Alex and and both Robs and Alex
and myself into the finals when he was that great.
Now he needs help because I mean you should. You're forty.
Of course you need help. But he thinks in his
mind going into a season like, oh we need is
just this, Give me a couple spot up shooters and
(15:14):
three and D guys and that's all we need.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
No, Lebron, you you need more eight seven seven ninety

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Let's go with start with Chili Tim in Atlanta, Chile.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sportsuadio. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Guys?
Speaker 9 (18:16):
How you doing doing well? Ken? Yeah, I gotta tell you, man,
your argument kind of flogged there because you were using
teams like the Cavs and the Thunder. But if you
think about those teams were built through the draft, and
maybe Donovan Mill Donovan Mitchell with the Rockets and all
those teams are built from the draft, And think about
(18:37):
when Lebron first got there, when you had Brandon Ingram
and Alice Caruso and those guys. You know, if you
that got elevate those players.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yes, I've been screaming this.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That's been my point, Chili, is that the Lakers don't
developing drafty.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
They keep going for the big name, big guy, big guy.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
And Steph Curry. What did he tell the ward is, hey,
don't trade those draft sticks. Keep those guys. I may
not be much longer, and I want to see you
guys go on from the cut and build just like
you built our team right and not being it's always about.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Him and it is.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
But you know that that's the thing that nobody everything
you just said, everyone knows you got the Steph loves
the Warriors as an organization. He's committed. That's like a
family to him. Lebron dollars, Yeah, Lebron is a mercenary.
I'm going who you know? And part of that is
you know when you sign up is win or no
win or going like that's what it is. We ain't
got time to be developing. Ain't nobody got time for
(19:29):
brandon Ingland to get better. Lin's O ball and gotta
get better?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Uh, Kevin in Culver City, you're in the couple of
Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Ready, hold on, here we go. Kevin? All right, I
remember what we got going on? You know that? Yeah,
this is Kevin all right all the time, time, no doubt.
What's up, Kevin?
Speaker 9 (19:47):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Man, I want to give a little shout to Manci.
Your boys just had that call the Oka City, Oklahoma
City Thunder, okayc Thunder. They were rebuilt because of one guy,
Kawhi Leonard won a play with Paul George and force
shy Us Alexander the best player in the league to
go to Oklahoma Ce who should have been a Quipper.
So that's why they got rebuilt to how they are.
They got shy in.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
The heights Kevin real quick.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Yeah, please, pictures of big body.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh man, it's going down. We can't we can't let
you come on. We got to bring that of course.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Of course, look Lebron James, just stop it, stop it.
There's only one player you want. We know you're flirting
with him. Jimmy Butler and pat Riley the former Laker
is not going to give you Jimmy Butler unless you
give up off. Yes, that's straight hip and that first
round draft pick. Maybe you get Kyle Kuzma from Washington,
Maybe you get a Valance soonis. But they're gonna want
(20:46):
to give you Jordan Pill and that Jordan pulling that
bad contract. You gonna have to say something back. Zach
Lavine that contracts trying to be every team's gonna want
Austin Reeves, and the Lakers have said they will not
trade Austin every and why n and Kevin?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Why would anybody help the Lakers without trying to fleece them, Right,
you got to try to get something nobody.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
Wants to help the Lakers. Look, they made their bed.
They got to just go through with Jared Vanderbilt and
during Finnish Smith and their perimeter defenders and hope that
lebron can get the found of use for a playoff runt.
I don't think they're going to compete against Oklahoma City better.
That team is too young and athletic, too many wings,
and there's no answer for Shy. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
The only thing I will argue with you on that, keV,
is that they have zero answer for a D and
that could be present a problem.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
But we'll have to wait and see, keV. Thank you
for the call. All right. On the way, we got
the hot seat with Iowa.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Sam. Should be interesting to see he from. Yeah, I
do think Heven had a shirt on time I see it.
I don't think I've ever seen him not without a shirt.
But so we got that to hope. No, no, I
don't want to see you. No, he's always got an
Iowa shirt on. All right, he's coming in the studio now.
Manzi Blanyos is selling us right now with trendy.

The current temperature. The odd couple are making it hot
in here, Damn hot. Time to sit your butt down
in cooking the hot seat.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Yes, it is the hot seat. The semement you've all
been waiting for a sement. We invite one of our
Fox Sports Radio teammates to get in to the square
circle with the tag team Champions of the World. This
week's victim, I mean participant, oh my, none other than
Fox Sports Radio technical producer, one of the few guys
where no one actually knows his.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Last name because he's a brand.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
At this point, when nobody knows your last name, Iowa Sam.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
That's actually a great point. I don't know it, but
it's not Sam. It's Iowa Sam Sam. Okay. Here's the thing, though,
you don't know this.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Okay, But Chris Brussar lived in Iowa, and what to
a high school? Right, you're not to my high school,
not to yours, but the Arrival high school didn't you
go to? No, he went to high school because it's
like more high schools in Iowa. No, there's more than that.
But he went to a high school in Des Moines.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Chris was one of two black people in Iowa. So
all moral.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Tropes, you said he was black, so I thought was
gonna says one up in the Okay, Okay, Oh you guys,
you know this segment works.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Iowa.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Sam has got three blistering hot takes. He's gonna vent
two to one one against the odd couple. Take number
one and this one is a doozy. What we got
Aaron Glenn, the new head coach of the New York Jetropolitans.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Iowa.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Sam says, why do they bother hiring him? He's destined
to fail in New York. Anyways, Sam, you got thirty
seconds to your case. Jets another head coaching vacancy. I'm
noticing a little pattern here, guys with a small outlier.
Robert Sala, Todd Bowles, Rex Ryan, Eric Man, Genie All
defensive assistants like Aaron either no success or some success
(24:03):
that could not be sustained in New York. Adam Gase
minimal head coaching experience, but he was actually fired by
the Dolphins before getting that Jets head coaching job. He
did get them the playoffs, but he's not even been
in the NFL since he got fired by the Jets
back in twenty ninety.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Sam, stop, and you just mentioned Rex Ryan. Can I
give you some history on Rex Yan and the Jets?
They went to two AFC Championship games. That wasn't forty
years ago.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
What did they do after that? Though your mic is
cut off, it's my toime, and my point is, you.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Don't know what's gonna happen with Aaron Glenn, just like
we didn't know what was gonna happen with Rex Ryan.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It has to play out, you listen. I'm glad Aaron
Glenn got the job.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
He deserves a head coaching job, but he feels like
that poor billy goat in Jurassic Park who's tied up
and ready to be eaten by a dinosaur, and that
dinosaur is cursed ownership. Aaron Glenn's fate is sealed Wood.
He Johnson would be better off bringing John Glenn back
from the dead and giving him the job. He's that
guy had some experience with rockets and Jets, you know
(25:10):
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
All Right?
Speaker 8 (25:11):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Hush my turn. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
The Jets have been terrible for quite some time, except
for Rex Ryan as you mentioned there, Rob, Guess what
who's been worse than them? The Detroit Lions have been
worse than them. And you know what, Aaron glib was
a part of the rebuild. He came from the bottom,
started from the bottom. Now he's here with an opportunity
to head coach. So he knows about building up something
that's bad. He knows about taking something that needs to regroup, retool,
(25:38):
and all of a sudden creates something and by god,
it can't get no worse.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Man.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Let me tell you, everybody knows how big of a
sports fan I am. That's why I would jedge laterally
know that you're the biggest, biggest of them all.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I know.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
I have to say.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Sam going deep into the well of the entertainment industry
and pulling out a cinematic gold reference to Jurassic Park
and using the Billy Goat that was tied up. And
we all remember Jeff goldblooms amous line, you forgot to
think if you should do it because you were too
busy thinking about doing it.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Yeah, so Sam gets the first point.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Ridiculous. Started to notice the train here Alex coaching. It's
all right, it's all right. He has to eaven it up. Unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
This one seems like it's directed specifically at Rob Parker
because Iowa, Sam says that would you say that hiding
behind your anonymous vote, you coward, Rob Parker?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
What should not be allowed, Sam, You had thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Stop hiding behind your anonymous vote.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Make all voters and their selection public as a condition
of having the vote. Listen, you eat your ro Suzuki
was not a unanimous MLB Hall On the MLB Hall
of Fame ballot, and going back to what at the
end of the w NBA season, Caitlin Clark got sixty
six out of sixty seven votes for Rookie of the Year.
Someone left her off and voted for Angel Reads, who
(26:55):
didn't even finish the season she was injured.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Hey there you go, Sam, make it public. You have
a right to vote.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
It doesn't have to be my vote is public, but
it doesn't have to be. When you went to the
polls and you made your selection for president, was it
broadcast or was it put in the newspaper for everybody
to know who you voted for?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
No, it was not, And if you did that, you would.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Probably stop people from being able to vote their real
hard because they're worried about what other people. This is
the most genuine thing is that it doesn't have to
be broadcast, it doesn't have to be published, but you
still have.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
A right to make a vote.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
I want to know what was in this voter's heart
to leave each Heiro off the ballot. That's what I
want to know, because this person either has a personal
grudge against Eachiro or doesn't know all the great things
he did in his career. All right, and so listen.
I'm not a fan of doxing people. I'm not a
fan of, you know, putting someone's address out on Twitter.
That's all horrible, malicious nonsense. But I do question your
(28:01):
motives when you are the one voter out of ninety
nine point seven percent of voters you put them on there,
and you were the one.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Guy, Why was your motives? Sam?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I actually understand what you're trying to say, but you
use the term have to and they don't have to
do anything. That's what makes us American, By golly, pay
your taxes and death. That's about the only thing you
have to do. In my case, in your case, we
got to stay black, that is for sure. Now, Also,
have you heard of this? People are crazy nowadays, Sam.
And if you put stuff on social media and you're
the one guy and you're like, I love Dick Jeter's
(28:31):
the favorite guy in the world, and you go find
this person because they didn't put Derek Jeter in all
of fame. Now, something could happen because we got some
looney tics out there who want to do something because
you didn't vote for each year row you didn't.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Vote for Derek. I want to know who and I
want to know why.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I have to say.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Ron Parker did bring up a very good scenario and
he said, what would happen if everybody had to know
who you voted for for president, for anything? God, it'd
be fun to come into work the next day. Let
me tell you a lot of people saying it that
it's a good thing. It's I just love what he said.
So point to the odd couplecause, Sam, it was fun
knowing you.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Bruh.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
All right, last one we saved the hottest take for
last Iowa, Sam with the dicable in the hots to
Here we go Sam. For whatever reason, Sam just loves
to see people of color get pulled over because.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
He's police need to crack down of those jerks who
drive through red lights.
Speaker 11 (29:26):
Sam, you got thirty seconds. Tell us why the hottest
of takes like a red light, the hot red fire.
I am this was not a thing growing up in Iowa.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Man.
Speaker 11 (29:34):
I didn't see this until I moved out to La
ten years ago. People just casually driving through red lights.
Where are you trying to get to? Where are you
trying to go? Why is your time more valuable than mine?
Why is my safety less valuable than yours?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Why?
Speaker 11 (29:47):
Why can't you just slow down? This is not like
it's yellow then it turns red. I'm talking about people
who are coming up to an intersection and then it
is red for a second or two.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
And they drive right through it. What are they doing?
Why they're why they're a bigger fish to fry.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
That, of course is a safety issue, but we want
the LAPD to crack down on some many other bad
stuff that's going on, the burglaries, the robbing, the stabbing,
all the other stuff. I want that man power used
on something that's way more important than a red light.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I understand the red light, but it ain't number one
on my guys. I don't know.
Speaker 11 (30:27):
It seems like since COVID, people just take matters in
their own hands, liberties, they just it's not even like
it's you get that little bit of grace period.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
When you do go through the red light. You know
you're probably not gonna like t bone somebody.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
It's the principle of the matter when I see you
just casually and lazily driving through a red light. I
was at an off ramp once and I was sitting
next to a cop and a dude drove right through
it red light, and that cop pulled him over, and
it felt so good I streaked in my car.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You know, snitches get stitches out here, all right, that's
what you're talking about here here, let me tell you something.
Number one, since you know this happens, all you gotta
do is wait an extra second and a half.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
They're like, you know, be all right. That's number one.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Number two, you're talking about people moving and going fast, y'all.
I have nowhere to go in Iowa. People got places
to go in La, all right. We got places to go,
places to be. And as Rob just mentioned too, we
got car chases, we got smashing grabs, we got police
and people trying to get home because of fire in
a neighborhood. They trying to get up out and evacuate.
We got real stuff. That's why just about ninety percent
(31:28):
of movies are based in La. Real stuff is happening
around here, all right, smoke man, hotter than red lights
and fire.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
What's incredible is that Sam actually did stand the test
of time. I'm glad he didn't shriek or shrivel or
withdraw against the mighty duo of the Odd Cup.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
But the thing that's crazy to me is, Sam, you
know that we're not in Iowa anymore?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I was aware? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Do you know that we have a yellow light too?
Do you know what that means? It means speed up.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
So that's why we basically have to make it through
that red blight is because we were literally given another
light to tell us to hurry the f up. So
I'm just saying odd Couple. Congratulations, that's what we know.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
What we know, moving violators.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
It's it's only fitting that the Odd Couple would take
on Iowa Sam and it would be a whitewash.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I'm just hey, you got nothing necess say that. Last
call Parking here eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
You're in the Odd Couple of Fox Sports Radio and
you are indeed the last call?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Were you jamming? Justin? Does give me a night?
Speaker 9 (34:37):
Hey, shout out to Hey, shout out to you, Alix,
just give me a life.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Man.
Speaker 10 (34:40):
We need to island representation on the gosh.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
It makes sense, Bermuda man, I felt racist. Appreciate I
felt racist. Where's the racist racist? Was that felt pretty racist?
I'm sorry, all right, go ahead, that's got to be racist.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Justin what you got, rob you?
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Sometimes you remind me of like that iced tea character
from Chappelle's Shaw We says like you were born hater.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
You are absolutely right about the lions.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Thank you, justin I said it all? How many times?
Was I saying it? Every week? Wasn't I saying it?
You were saying it.
Speaker 10 (35:16):
Hey, look you're gonna be right. Eventually you said earlier
about the window being closed. Check us out right. So
they still got a bunch of guys that have to
get paid, right, Jamis and Williams have to get paid.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Ayden Hutchinson's got.
Speaker 10 (35:29):
To get paid, Kirbye Joseph's got to get paid. Jamr
Gibbs got to get paid.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
But at some point, guys gotta go or you can't
keep the whole team together.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Right.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
Well, it was a dangerous part, especially since they really
had a chance to go to the Super Bowl last
year with thirty minutes to go in San Francisco that
didn't happen. And then you get the number one seed
this year right to come through Detroit and nine and
a half point favorites at home and it doesn't happen.
I mean, that is disappointing. And now you lose your
coordinators again. You hope that you can hold it together
(36:01):
the division gets better. Yeah, it's not easy.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
No, it's not. Nothing in the NFL is easy. We
know that. That's a very It's not like like in
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
If you got Lebron from the age twenty to thirty two,
you're pretty much guaranteed to be good. Maybe don't win
it every you're good. You got Kobe during that run magic,
you know what I mean. It's a little easier when
you get that guy. In the NBA, you got Shack
for eight year period, you're fine. NFL is not quite
like that. There's a lot of parody, things changed from
year to year. But when you have the core pieces,
to me, this is when you're you're good. Not that
(36:29):
you're gonna be winning fifteen games, but you've got the core.
And right now they have the core. They've got Aiden,
they've got Golf, they got im and Round say Bron,
they got Gibbs, they got Williams. They've got the core
to compete for the next three to four years. And
then from there you know from there, you see what
you got, and they got the coach too. He's gonna to,
but he's gonna have to replay some great coordinators. Fout doubt.
(36:50):
I'm buying for one second, No, you are buying. That's
what you did when it's saying when this song came on,
you buying a drink. Oh my god, don't act like
this one. You're a banker.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Smith's Show with Mike Harmon is coming up next. Miss
your radio show. I never hear it, so I never
miss it. Did you hear that? Don't give me a
