the other one? So pillowcase is missing?

Speaker 6 (03:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Maybe I did. Maybe I threw it out in the garbage.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
There are people who there are people who sleep walk
a lot more than people know.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Maybe you're one of those. Did I do that and
throw it out? Maybe?

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Like you just tell them you have to empty the
garbage because people who sleep they do stuff like they
walk out the high their or go down the stairs.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
All right, So now I'm gonna have to empty the
garbage and looking there? Yeah, or just wait today you
make them say, uh, I don't know. I'm just saying
it's just weird, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Makes I literally woke up and you know how you feel.
I'm just like, okay, but where's the bottom? Like I
love the first.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Things in the bottom. So I look at the what
you call.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
The night stand, thinking maybe I might' it might have
been irritating and I pulled it out or whatever, maybe
I moved it.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
And then I'm like, no, it's not there, No, not there.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
I fell on the side of the bed, not there,
no nowhere. I couldnot find it.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
See that is.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Gonna be somewhere, ridiculously stupid, like landed in the cup
next to the bed, and you took the cup downstairs,
not even thinking it of landing.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
And listen, I have learned.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Having kids, bro, look where you would be like yeah, right,
no way it will be, and it'll be you'll be like, okay,
I have learned that. And not even just their fault,
because even me, because you're rushing there, I can't wait,
got got, we gotta got take what's good, and you
will put I put phones in the refrigerator, just rushing
all types of stuff, so you'll never know other that
other than that you swallowed. I'm just telling you it's

(04:58):
you're gonna make them saying that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I don't know, Rob, how big is the retainer? Not
that big, you know what I mean? Not that big.
You just you just you gotta know it's Alex. What
do you got? You swallowed it? Just asking you knew

was cooking something.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I just it's the weirdest feeling in the world, be
cause you just think, Okay, it's on the floors behind
the bad like, okay, it could happen.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
What time does she leave? She didn't take it with us.
I want Alex, I want a piece of him, to
remember him.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
But Sean and Sacramento on the YouTube, what he says,
you know, Rob must have cheated on the tooth Fairy
back then when Moby Dick was a guppy tooth Fairy
playing the extra extra long game.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
That is right all this time.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's a fake tooth. That's a tick tack. You didn't
got some money I got. I got seventy five cents
for a TikTok.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
You're putting tic TACs under there, you putting it, putting
chick lits in there, and now your mom and daddy
give you two dollars for a chick lit.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
That would be good bye. Kid.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Put a couple of chick lits in there and get
some money. They gotta be smart, say so they get
like twenty dollars money.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Money.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Hey, make sure my kids ain't listen, don't be carried away,
get it, get it down, like you.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
A fifty cent piece or something.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Well, back then, two dollars bill, you know, seventy five
years ago, that was a lot.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Rob g.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Shador Sanders, I don't know. I mean, we talked about
the tear. I'm not that thrilled about that whole scenario
and the way that they wear players, but when it
comes to I'll think this model.

Speaker 7 (07:07):
Yeah, I know, it's kind of crazy how that works out, right. Yeah,
the quarterback tiers came out today. The athletic Mike Standal
does a great job for an of the show. Me
come on the show this week. We'll see and uh
fifty posters twenty one execs, twenty nine coaches to anonymously
give their thoughts on all the quarterbacks in the NFL. Now,
they're ranked one through thirty five, so it's every starter

(07:28):
and every quarterback who's could you know, considered to be
in a QB battle, So like Atlanta has panix Atua included, right,
Cleveland of course has Deshaun and Shador included, and bringing
up the rear at number thirty five overall, none other
than Shadere Sanders. All right, one of the comments, I'm

(07:49):
gonna reach just two of them here, anonymous executives said, quote, he's.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Inaccurate at all three levels.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
I can't tell if he's gonna be better, but there's
a huge gap between him and competent quarterback play. Anonymous
defensive coordinator said, I'd sleep like a baby if I
got to play him every week. He's not an on
time player, can't really read through coverages. Is a little
bit heavy footed your thoughts.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
I just think they're putting extra sauce. I really do.
Rob he's he's it was bad. He would tell you
he was bad. I ain't gonna chugar coat if he.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Would tell you. What when did he ever say he
was bad?

Speaker 5 (08:21):
I think he's I think he's wise enough to know
that he said it most of the time. Remember he
said I sucked. Remember he was like I sucked something
like that. He was like, man, I was trash. He
knows it. And my only thing is role. I'm not
gonna sit up here and to defend as if he
had some amazing rookie campaign.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
The only thing I'm saying is the way when.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
You read these these these anonymous quotes and all that,
they're acting like he's had three or four seasons of this,
like even two seasons of it. To me, he was
in a terrible situation where they had three quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Everybody else, No, they had three or four quarterbacks.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
We saw Joe Flacco, Dylan Gabriel, we saw him, I mean,
and they didn't know what they were doing.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
He didn't get the starts, and then Umber one starts.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
To me, I will be going into this season saying,
all right, there's no excuses you beer end camp. You
compete against a guy who ain't been great himself in
Deshaun Watson, and let's see what's up, and let's give
him like this next season to see what's going on.
To me, they're acting like we've seen two three seasons
of horrible play from him. When he wasn't that bad.
I mean, when he was bad, but he made some

(09:21):
plays when he was out there, and he was able
to be mobile, he was able to throw the four
ball down the field. So I'm not getting I'm not
acting as if he's some top ten, top twenty quarterback.
My only thing, Robb is I feel like they're putting
so much on him. When you look at the Cleveland Browns,
except for Baker Mayfield for a season or two, they
haven't been no one's really they been able to produce.
You bring in to Shaun Watson, who's an MVP candidate

(09:42):
in Houston, he ain't been the same sence.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, but he got other issues going on and he
but he's played a lot too. He played more than
you think. We all think.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
It was like three games, and we've seen Deshaun Watson
was terrible. So my just don't get All I'm saying
is why when other people have been bad historically, they
kind of go are look, especially in no situation, didn't
get to start multiple quarterbacks. He's in Cleveland's got a
new coach, now, new system, he's locked in. Let's see
what it is. Instead they're acting like he's the laughing

(10:10):
stock of the league when we have seen other quarterbacks
be bad their rookie campaign, especially in bad environments you
go when you get drafted, you can't determine when you're going,
and sometimes you go to horrible environments, Cleveland being one
of them, the Panthers, and we've seen guys start off
horribly and they're in there. One of them is a
Super Bowl champion, Sam Donald. Sam Donald, we would have

(10:31):
never thought he'd have two back to back season, fourteen wins, four.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Thousand yards in our Super Bowl, led the league in
interceptions last year.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, and he's a Super Bowl champion. You've got a
ring on thank God for that defense.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
So my whole.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Point is, and I'm sure Chadeur will have to have
that kind of defense as well. So my whole point
is just they're putting too much on the guy when
we didn't get to see the full opportunity of him.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's all I'm saying. What we've seen this before.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Josh Rosen at one year in Arizona and they ran
him out of there and they drafted another quarterback in
the top in the first round, right, Kyler Murray went
first overall after having Rosen? Why would you do that?
They did even give him another chance. They had one season.
So it happens with people. And the thing with Shadure is,
I don't know what you will watch it. I mean,

(11:13):
he was bad last year. I don't I don't know
how anybody all that. I don't think they're picking on him.
He was bad. He didn't play well and it was
like the worst right, Rob g what was it? The
worst starting quarterback numbers historically.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
I keep these stats in a special folder because I
know Rob's gonna go to him. Yes, once every six
seven week. Here's funny. Calvin text me, Rob, you gave
me some good shoulder numbers. I was like, that's gonna
be tough.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I can't stand one of y'all. I thought a miracle worker.
But here are the numbers you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (11:51):
Rob the thirty six quarterbacks at least two hundred pasing
attempts last season, Shadua Sanders was last in completely percentage
passer rating of justin yards attempt and adjusted net yards
per attempt. He was also second to last interception rate.
In fact, his ten picks over the last eight weeks
were an NFL high over that span.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Those are you can't blame everything on every because you're
not having success. The same way that if he played well,
you wouldn't be going well. But he didn't have any receivers. Oh,
you didn't have an offense. No, you would be like,
look at him, excel right in the circumstance or situation
he's in. All I'm saying is he has not played well.

(12:32):
I know a lot of people. They love his dad.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
And if he was George Smith playing quarterback.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
With those numbers, you just wouldn't be you talking about
his personal or whatever.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
No, George Smith would be getting killed, I don't think anywhere,
and he would I wouldn't be talking about George Smith.
I think if it were George Smith, we would be
going all right without Let's either you know, like that
was his bad, horrible rookie campaign. Listen, George Smith wouldn't
be Smith ain't getting all of that. I wish I
was playing him every week and done it. They would
not be putting out an extra sauce on it. And
it's because I.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Just think it is you're confusing celebrity with performance, and
he's a celebrity off the football field, and that's why
you think like people don't like him and it's personal.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
They have no reason.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's the same thing if you're the ownership, people would
die to get a starting quarterback if they really believe Kelvin.
Come on, you're a coach, you're trying to save your job.
You're a general manager, you're an owner. You want to
sell tickets, you want your team. Don't tell me that
they're there trying to work against them because they don't
want it doesn't make any sense. Why draft them, Why

(13:38):
put them on a team. If you want the guy
not to do well, it doesn't make any Oh, they're
trying to make him look bad that the brown said.
The Browns get fired. The Browns have a new coach.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
They want to They want to start average, especially when
you know you're a coach in the NFL that the
clock is ticking. So he's won. He wants ever, the
starting quarterback is going to be Gabriel Watson Shaudure. They
want some productivity. All I'm saying is, I'm looking at
it as this guy's on the team that has not
had any production from anybody really in several years except
for that one year with Baker, And I'm looking at

(14:15):
a bad situation so much so you need a whole
new coach. And I'm saying, I want to see what
this kid. I'm almost saying, let me see what he
produces now, because now there is no excuse, right, you've gotten.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
If he plays Polly. What are you gonna say now? Now, Oh,
what's a new coach?

Speaker 5 (14:28):
It is a new system, I'm saying, right, that will
be saying you knew what you know.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
But you're gonna say if he has a new head coach,
and he doesn't.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
He had an entire full off season to work with
this new coach, So no matter what, Oh, I got
to learn the system. I will say that more applicable
to like, let's say, a big time starter, right, because
now you got a whole new You've been used to
this system for six years, five years or something, and
that's a whole new thing. You You have a whole
opportunity now to prove this to a new coach, to
get something some reps going. And now it's all right,

(15:00):
let's see, and all you gotta do is improve. He
ain't gotta be damn Marino.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Improve, rob Ge.

Speaker 7 (15:05):
You got what I can't say. You're a hundred percent right.
But let me just say this. The guy rank number
thirty four, JJ McCarthy. Here's two quotes about him. See
how they vary from shador.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
What's this?

Speaker 7 (15:15):
His toughness was the thing that really jumped out to
me watching him play. If you have that, you always
have a chance. Here's the other one former GM. He
has tools, but he was coming out of the Michigan
offense as NFL passer. He needed development, even though he
had all strength with athletic.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Game at that And you know what, go back and
look at that game that he beat the Lions in
Detroit and changed the course of the CS.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
If you want to bring up one game, I.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Am because you don't have a Shadoor game. No, I
have the games where he the second game.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
No, you don't. You don't have a do have the
second game? Don't? And that's what's funny. So J. J.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
McCarthy is the guy you move up to, you trade
with fifteen two, he went on the coming off.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Coming off and off TD, coming off and off week
Rob g beat it to no coming off of fifty.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Tell me about they coming off of They were not
talking about the good team.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
They're not going, but they were fifteen in the guy
who you move up you get move picks to make tenth.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Who's supposed to be that guy? All right?

Speaker 5 (16:12):
It wasn't so much so that you went and got
another whole quarterback in Kyler Murray. Oh but man, he's tough.
See how they do he's this, Come on, he look
at his moxie.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
All right, here we go exactly do the criticisms of
shedor Sanders and the QB that justin Herbert Steel personal
and thinks everything's personal. When when his guy stinks.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Or are they real he can stay?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
They act like he's the level of stinctivity ninety nine

Speaker 2 (19:08):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
He played seven games?

Speaker 8 (19:12):
To me, I ain't talking about his actual player on
the field, because that's not what he's being doing. But
he's being judge by assuming the personality of his dad,
who happened to be a great. You can't assume the
personality of your dad who's a great and you're not
a great. And then you're punishing for just doing that.
They're not getting a fear.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Of said that that, that's so what's not fair? He
played terribly.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
He's one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the history
of the NFL. Those are fast, Those are fast, Those are.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Those are the Those are the people who evaluate football.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
The people with the loudest voice is saying.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
He should be starting.

Speaker 6 (20:53):
Yes, here were you talking about some anonymous people?

Speaker 5 (20:56):
I know I'm not anonymous people. These are anonymous execs
and gms and league act like they're random people. But
everybody else is banging the drum for everybody else.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Ain't begging the drum. You ain't even begging the drummer.
You three feet away from me.

Speaker 6 (21:07):
You had a bag year kill.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I said that.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
But all I'm saying is he had a bad year.
In a bad circumstance, which is fine. I started off,
it was fine. They're acting like he's had three years
of being bad. JJ McCarthy your top ten pick and
they already got to get the.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
First round pick, got dumped after one year. He ain't
gonna beet Josh rosenbad.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
He was one year and they didn't even give him
another start. He was chosen Rosen.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
No, he was not.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Justin and and and Bermuda. You're on on James next time,
going for you and going for Rob Parker. Hang up
for James, Justin and Bermuda. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Justin?

Speaker 2 (21:45):

Speaker 6 (21:46):
I haven't talked to you guys in a long time?

Speaker 2 (21:48):
What up?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Man?

Speaker 2 (21:48):
How are you? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Man, still listening to the show. It's on around my
daughter's bedtime, so I'm always like, I'm always trying to
listen when i can.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Well, thanks for the support, Thank you.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Yeah man, Kelvin, I'm sorry, man, Rob is one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
To no go ahead.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
If Shador's name was anything else, nobody would even really care. Like, Okay, Kelvin,
let me give you an example. I'm a Skins fan right.
A few years back, they drafted Sam Howel in the
fifth round. He everyone talked about him being a media
round pick they picked up in the fifth round. He
had more success in our bad Washington situation than Shador

(22:32):
had his first year in Cleveland. And you haven't seen
that man since the NFL has been not for a.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
Long Yeah, So here's here's here. I don't disagree. My
only point is it feels like the way he is
critiqued is harder and harder because.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Because I just told you he's been getting.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
Because everybody wants to talk about him, like like you
ain't heard nothing about these other guys because they just
didn't play good and they got replaced. So if if
you everyone stopped talking about should do, then nobody will
be criticized.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
And but that's proven my point that I'm saying he
doesn't get it. So let's say this season he goes
into I don't have a clue what they're gonna die
because you old DeShawn Watson all the money in the world,
so you want to obviously play him, But also he
hasn't been great and he's older.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Well, why shouldn't should do it? If he's that good
beat out of rusty old Sean Watson.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I told you.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
Just because the money he hadn't been great. But they
won't do him here.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's because he didn't play well enough. If he played
well last year.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
They would year. I don't see that happening. I just
don't we need.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
If I'm ROBG, there is your task for the next
You know, you got a couple few weeks to put
some type of metric where we can say, like what
good is right, because it's kind of just it can
be vague, and we'll see if we like, if I
think he can be that, and if he doesn't think
he can be that, where should do it? So they'll
do that all right. On the other side of talked
about it, Boston College basketball team. They're specifically their coach
having some issues with some other employees. We'll explain that.

(24:02):

Well, they brought him up. They sent Volpi down to
Triple A Wilkesbury, Scranton. George Lombard Junior, their number one prospect,
finally gets called up. In his major league debut. He
gets first hit is a home run, major home run.
Can you imagine fourteenth yankee to do that in their day?

(25:00):
Bud get a home run, which is great for him,
and it's like a good kid.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Yeah yeah, man, that's gotta be huge, man, because it's listen,
I don't care you and I we we ain't you know,

first of all just to make the majors.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Put a period there.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
It's it's huge, right, you know when the guys get
drafted and go through the minor leagues. Everybody doesn't make
it to the major it's hard.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Then you make it, then you're called up and then
you get a real that bad and you got the
pen strikes on and you hit a home run.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
You pops in your mom there, You'll never You'll never, right,

three different whatever?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
But let me see it now. I gotta laugh too.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
Thread line Rob Parker's forty MLB.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
You know today on this fortieth your story one time
at the water cooler?

Speaker 2 (26:43):
What you're talking about today? Hey, no, no, it's only two.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I mean the fortieth is one thing and then there's
another one MLB Bro.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Let me see.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
Rob's banner of him covering MLB is like breaking news
for the school trade.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
It's like the entire pham No, I gonna lie.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Robin's kind of crazy, like one third of the whole page.
It's telling me that it's Rob Parker's forty the year
covering MLB. Don't look at your own website. You already
know what's on there? Can you see Lombard?

Speaker 8 (27:12):
Right?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (27:12):
All right, but look at much look at my Look
at that? Ain't none of it there? There he is
right there? No Yankees prospect. That's a go MLB Bro
Show podcast. The mixed tape son there.

Speaker 7 (27:23):
And this is how I know that dev Rob Parks
run j m PR firm instead of a news organization.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Later on here in.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
The two Hole, Mookie Betts wants more four time champ,
chasing fifth ring and immortality.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
No mention that he's been absolutely terrible. It's in the
Booky Betts. That's just a headline champion that is not mentioned.
Knowing you tivity, Rob, it's in the story.

Speaker 7 (27:45):
We just don't read the whole story. You just read headline.
That's all that matters here. Taylor Trammel, I'm a great
baseball player. That was coverage, Rob, and.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
His coverage coverage you can count on.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Yeah, I like this did we talked about James Wood
and the c J. Evers dominating with for the Nationals.
So that's a good got definitely go check out that movie,
bro dot com.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
It's nice. It's a nice looking say you gotta give
me that. I ain't giving you nothing. You know what.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
I told you that there's a lot of you in
my life. Though, Okay, look I'm looking at you right
now and I turned sus a lot of you in
my life. That's gonna be after this year, all right.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
So Rob g Boston College has a new basketball do
everything apparently and some other.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
New stuff yeah, we have to spill this over to
the next same because this is a crazy story. So
Boston College Basketball party ways with their longtime broadcast team,
no surprise, I.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Know, big deal.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
The only problem is their former Radio Island analyst Kevin
Collins told Awful Announcing on the record quote the reason
that I was given why he was fired was that
the new coach, Coach Murray, basically wants a whole new,
fresh code of paint on the entire program and wants

(29:07):
no remnants of the past around. So basically his allegate,
he's alleging Boston College fired the radio broadcast team because
they have a new basketball coach and the new basketball
coach doesn't like the idea of having anybody from the
previous regime in the building.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Just say it what we always joke about here, Rob
saying with your chest. I would rather they come out
and say, hey, look, you know it wasn't just about
the coach, but we need a fresh new star and
we want to start with everything. We're cleaning house. We're
doing this with da da da da. Listen, we haven't
been great and we think this is our chances. I'd
rather them stand on business and say it than opposed
to everybody, and everybody knows it when you haven't listen, Rob,

(29:47):
what do we talk about all the time when you
have announced, when you're in this business, you generally don't
want to blast your previous boss because it's a small business, right,
and this thing is, you know, you never know who's
going to be somewhere else and hiring all that good.
So for you got announcers to come out and say, man,
they doing this, they playing with us, they let us
go because of this, that shows me how everybody in
that community must know. So to me, just say with

(30:08):
your chest own it, like this is clearly obvious what
they're doing, and I'd rather that than you kind of
Oh no, we're just doing it. It just happened to be No,
thirteen years, been doing a job. We're doing a job.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Fine.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
You already talk about in the piece how they were
kept trying to reach out to the coach, couldn't he wouldn't,
kept making excuses, Oh he's not free today, I'll try
another day. Well he's not free today. Clearly he already
said I don't want to have anything to do with anybody.
So to me, I just read them stand on business.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Well, The bad part is and two things a people
identify with the announce of they're longtime announcers. It's a
part of the program. You know, you've been listening to
him for years. It becomes a part of ups and
it down to exactly So that's that's a bad part.
And the other one is do you really want a
coach who's so worried about the broadcasters and trying to

(30:55):
have his narrative or his spin on everything. If he
goes out and high there's two guys who are benevolent
to him and owe him their their job, they're going
to be softer on him. Am I right? Like that's
just natural. He hired me, helped me get the job.
I can't rip him no matter how bad the team is.
So so whenever you start getting into that, I have

(31:18):
a problem with it. I really do, because I think
the coach shouldn't be interested in that, and the organization
or the school should be like, these are a long
time coaches who I'm the longtime broadcasters who not only
was here from.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
From the last coach, but been here for the last
three coaches.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Do you see what I'm saying? Like this is not
he didn't he didn't. These guys didn't come with the
last coach. That's different if they were swapped out as
they guys and he was their guys. I get that
part was the exactly. I'll give you an example.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Ralph Lawler was with the Clippers for eons, through the ups,
through the bad, through the good, when they were better,
when they were lops it e the bad, sym And
my point is, like you mentioned, living here in La.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
You know I was. I'm biased.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
I don't have a team, and I moved here just
listening to the to the radio. And the fact of
the matter is you're listening to them and you and you,
like you said, I love watching hearing him call them not.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
You the manager coming in and saying, now, Vince Scully
can't be here. I can't be here. I don't care what,
I don't care about how long. It just doesn't It
doesn't make It has no part to do with you recruiting.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
And the ownership would never go for that, like like,
just what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (32:28):
It doesn't make sense for there's nothing to do with recruiting,
nothing to do with gameplay, like it just it doesn't
make sense how they affect business because they have nothing
to do with the gameplay and how you all have
been able to succeed on on the court. So I
just thought it weak, and I thought it was weaker
for them to make all these excuses.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
So the Cubs did they score that run? That that?

Speaker 1 (32:46):
So they call them out at the play and then
they reviewed it.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Rob g No, what happened? Their call? The play was correct.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
The next batter had a bloop infield single.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Oh okay, I was wondering because I saw that. So
it's a two to one call. Yeah, you gouty, school sucks,
school bolls pitching eighty one pitches to get the look
broke baseball. They're gonna lose again. Now they're not gonna lose.
If they lose again, that would be what five in
a row? Wow? What you think they're gonna le him

(33:16):
get to one hundred pitches? Yeah, I mean it's August.
He should be able to go. Yeah, it was a
little too aggressive.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
Have you watched baseball, which I know you have, but
they don't be letting people pitch anymore.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, he's got eighty two pitchers and it's the bottom
of the six.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
That sounds about right on the pull of them right now,
This is exactly when they do it nowadays in baseball.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Our three run bomb here could be something. It's possible,
you know, home runs the last twenty four hours. Every
time we looking probabably jumped to the extreme. It could
be a single, you a line drive. No, it's gonna
be a three one, Jimmy Jack. But am I right?
Sometimes with the extreme?

Speaker 5 (33:48):
At least he didn't say, and it would have been like,
throws his arm out and then they gotta get Tommy Johnson.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
What if Jared Golf throws three picks in that game
against you?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
That on your tombstone. I called it on your I
