Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Five six, six nine zero is the text line. A
lot of a lot of texts coming in about the
food conversation. So we said, geographically in Miami, Florida, where
Nick's from, maybe the Deep South, But is it really
the air quotes deep South when it comes to Deep
South traditions.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
WHA.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
I asked that text there to give a little more
context because you gave me the air quotes. I mean,
what what does what was he referring to as far
as deep South? He can't get in deeper than that.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I think.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Deep South to me refers to like basically the cotton
region of the southern United States, which would not be
southern Florida, although northern Florida would probably be curious with that.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
When when I'm I mean just it's a different vibe
in southern Florida.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I mean when I lived Ton, the difference between Tampa
and Miami, and Tampa's.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Midway through the state, there's a there's a different vibe
than you.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Know, well it is, and technically I mean down in
Miami is like a whole different country, right, same, a
whole different world.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, it's a somebody's to be a link here by
the way of seven other foods Northerners will never understand,
and number seven right off the bat is chicken and queso.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
I don't think, I mean people have not just don't
understand it. And individuals in.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
The other The other things out here were sweet tea,
which we both you know, there's a barbecue like that.
You Northern just don't understand barbecue away fair enough. Boiled peanuts,
but I never had boiled peanuts down south.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
That was what, Yeah, I never. I never had boiled peanuts.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yeah, delicious, Well better than chicken with caeso.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
If you had chicken with queso.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
I'm just saying, there's a lot other better condiment options
for chicken.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
If I had to choose between bands chicken and caesos
or boiled peanuts, I'm taking the chicken and caesos.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Peanuts are good. That was never. I never really you
had them I had up in the South. The bag
is all wet. I don't need that.

Speaker 4 (01:57):

I'll be there tomorrow.

If you have the said culvers, does it believe it

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I'm telling you. There was a stable where I was

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Have been on a secret menu. That wherever been was
a secret menu that had to be Yeah, not.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
By the way, our buddy b K text me a
little bit of a go and said that Shelby Harris

Speaker 1 (05:47):
We had a bunch of Breakfast king. A couple of
people said breakfast Kings. Somebody said, Evans, write these down,
keep those coming. Somebody said garden Grace, I've been there before.
Don't think they have chicken of waffles, garden Grace, I
didn't even think they did. Like breakfast food, I don't
think to breakfast foods big that you're decent steak friscos Man.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
But you know, Troy Guard former guests of the podcast.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
We need to you know what we need to do.
We need to get him in.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Here, Troy Guard.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yes, I don't think he'd take too kindly of you
saying Del Frisco's is your favorite.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
He needs to conmit. You know what he could do
is bring a steak again. Don't we hit him up?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
You see, we tell him, tell me we did not.
We've done this before, We've done this. We always deliver.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Us uh day dokout dogs then really love those.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
And I don't think he'd be a respected chef would
not cook a steak.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
How Nick Ferguson want says, oh, this is not about me.
All of a sudden, He's got to come out here
and convinced Nick say it is.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Just tell him, Troy Guard, if you're listening right now,
Broncos Country Today, would love to tell him that stole
the virtues of your steaks out of here.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Ferguson just destroys steaks. So you have to show him
how to do it so that way we can have
our own taste. Another way to get free food.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Medium. Wow, this is the whole reason. This is the
whole reason.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
We're in this game for the free food. Yeah yeah,
because with the other lazy dog came by, they'd email me.
But make it happen, Make it happen.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'm working on.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
We're in this bit for the for the food. Speaking
of somebody that might need some free food here. You've
seen this story about Malie Beasley.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah you know what.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Okay, So so those of you that don't know like
the table real quick.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, Malik Beasley a player with sixty million dollars in
career earnings, by the way, and a massive contract on
the table that got revoked by the Pistons once they
found out there's serious financial problems and an FBI investigation
into whether or not he's been point shaving. And once

(07:49):
all this came out, no criminal chargement filed yet, but
there's an investigation on going into his activities. Uh. Once
this came out, and then all of a sudden, we
start to see a pattern of behavior with him being
routine be taken to court and defaulting on loans. He
knows six hundred and fifty thousand has on sports Management
for failure to repay a loan against marketing revenue twenty
six eight hundred dollars to a celebrity barber shop in Milwaukee.

(08:11):
I don't know how many haircuts it takes to wrack up
twenty six thousand dollars. I'm just saying twenty one thousand,
five hundred dollars in unpaid rent thirty four thousand, three
hundred and ninety dollars to a dentist, and that the
dentist is what kicked this whole thing off because he
took easy to court to have his wages garnished because

(08:31):
Beasley claim he didn't have thirty five thousand dollars on hand.
Keeping in mind is the guy who makes about seventy
eight thousand dollars per game last year, he had eight
million dollars in outstanding loans and unpaid bills, and he's
under investigation by the FBI as part of wire fraud
involving gambling and prop bets. It's it's just, and it

(08:51):
funny because there's a significant drop in production from December
to January when all this stuff was on. In Decevery's
averaging twelve point one points a game, shooting fifty one
percent for the field, fifty two percent from three and
then in January when all this stuff started coming out,
he dropped a nine point nine points a game, forty
one percent from the field, forty one percent from three.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Whether that's just.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know, bad or whatever, but it's in this His
lawyer put out, you know, it's a gambling investigation involving him.
No criminal charges have been issued, and you know, put
out the typical boiler place statement. But man, I mean,
Milik Beasley has made sixty million dollars in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
And you got the FBI looking into whether or.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Not you're point shaving to try to get over on
eight million dollars in debt.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
You somehow racked up greed.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I mean, that's the only way you can look at
it is greed. And I will say this, the profession
of the leagues have not done enough to in my opinion,
to deter this. And the moment they decided to get
into this business of sports gambling, that's when all of
this went haywire. Because there was a rule in place

(09:57):
in nineteen ninety two I believe. I believe it was
called the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, and it
was a Supreme Court that overturned that six to three
that opened the floodgates, and once that was open, it
changed everything because you had so many teams. They didn't walk,
they ran to join sports books companies. But to me,

(10:19):
it was like a contradiction. Do as I say, but
not as I do. So so you can get in
bed with these sports books partners, but your employees can't.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Cannot and not as though that you're partnering with.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
This group and they're paying you millions of dollars, almost
like naming rights for stadiums. But I am the product
that they're selling that people are wagering on.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
But I don't get a cut of that. Nope. And
that's that is a that is a problem for me.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
The thing I do like is when they did this,
now we have detection tools to be able to like
nobody would have ever investigated this before, but now we've
got detection. We got detection. To Ridley was propaty. Say
think with the wazo Rique who did it?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Here him? Right? And this isn't the only one. Louis Ortiz.
Do you see this baseball player.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, the baseball pitcher Louis Ortiz is uh uh. He's
had these suspicious wild pitches. He's the Cleveland Guardians pitcher.
He's on non disciplinary paid leave right now and two
pitches thrown by him are being scrutinized. In June, the
betting integrity firm IC three to sixty, who analyzes all

(11:33):
this stuff and looks for suspicious patterns from players and
things like that, relay two pitches of sports books.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
The first was on June fifteenth, he gainst the Mariners.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
The had unusual betting action on the first pitch thrown
in the bottom of the second inning to be a
ball or hit batsman, and he spiked a slider into
the ground away from the striker. And then June twenty seventh,
on the top of the third against the Cardinals, once
again the bets were on a ball or a hit batsman,
and he proceeded to spike another pitch that the catcher
couldn't handle. Well, you know, wild pictures happen to the

(12:01):
best of pictures. This is something that just all of
a sudden, a flood of betting activity came in on,
which alerts these companies that monitor this stuff, and then
they can go wait a minute, Whereas before you wouldn't
have any any alert to this kind of stuff because
it was you know, unregulated. So I appreciate that we
now have something mechanism to see that that's happening.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
But I mean, man, like, how had this in this
day and age? Do you think you're not gonna get caught?
And that's the thing. Players think that they're not gonna
get caught.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
And all you have to do is look at the
players that came before you and to see that they
got in trouble.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
But you're still feeling as though you know what that
was them, This is me.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
There's no way that I'm gonna get caught. And ideas
that you think that because someone is making us a
stands amount of money in their respect to sports, that's
gonna be something that deterns them from doing.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Just think about it.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Remember Shoeo Tani's interpreter. I mean yeah, the interpreter, not.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
The player, not the coach.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
The interpreter was just like, dude, there's too much money
out there to be made.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
I got to get in where fall guy I mean,
oh he was a fall guy.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Conspiracy I'm not mister non conspiracy guy. And I'm like, oh,
show hi was betting in that interpret There's no way
that interpreter was doing that.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
No, no bleeping way that el Tony didn't know. He
didn't know.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
I mean, at least that's what's got right now with me.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
With me, it's not what you know, it's what you
can prove and what is being proved right now.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
There's so many athletes are are doing it, and I
know it's not We're not seeing like fifty guys every
single year, every single sport, but there's always guys pushing
an envelope. And it's like, after what happened to Cavin Ridley,
and I didn't even know that they had a The
NFL has a built in algorithm that they can find
players and they know exactly what phone and where.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
I was like, come, you gotta sign up with your
your social you know, in order for the bank records anyway,
like you did, like when you signed up, you handed
the information over the sports But they know.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
They say, okay, see that is wild for me.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
So you can pinpoint whom, place, what bet where they
were with state, right, But yeah, we can't make an
American car that can run for more than three hundred
thousand miles. Come on, man, come on, we got out
of the rhythm for that.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
But we can't not in the car makers interest to
have cars run that long.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
They want you to buy new cars from them, right,
So they don't want to make cars last a long
time because.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
They need to buy a new one.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
This is this is why you buy the forty cars.
You know, the Japanese cars seem to run a whole
lot better. I get the German one.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
But yeah, I'm just saying, Okay, what has to happen
for individuals and professional sports coaches and players not.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
To engage in gambling activities? What more needs to be done?
Because well, you look at Johntay Porter. I mean he's
gone for life. Yeah, I had for life. I mean
that's basically what you have to do. You basically have
to say banned for life if you do this, if you.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Want them to stop, because players want, I mean there's
something there's I know you don't gamble, but there's a
fun aspect to it.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
There is a rush that comes from it. What kind
of rush do you get because I no rush from
losing money, So what you do from winning? Well, I
guess I would. I'll never know. No, I'm just telling them.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
You're like no, I'm like man like, and I could
tell you and and you know.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
I I've been wagering for a long time, since before
it was legal. I mean, I've been wagering since you know,
three or four overseas until you know there's a rush
you get from from being right about it and getting
and getting money off of it.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
You know what, If that's the case, I'd rather get
the type of rush from eating Skyline chili.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
That's a rush out of a different that is a
rush out of an entirely different different.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'd rather get that rush because the worst thing that
can happen to me that I can have a sugar crash.
What you're talking about, You lose money. You look not
only your money, but your career.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
I mean, yeah, if you if you don't have stops,
if you're not.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Mentally strong enough to know your limits and know what
you can afford to like normally, don't talk about this
about the real quick forward break. The worst game I
ever lost was on the game. It was Thursday night,
bron was against Kansas City and it was a game
Mahomes got injured and I was riding on the Broncos
that day. Matt Moore came in to finish that game
and I lost twenty five grand on that game, and
let me tell you that there's no more humbling experience

(16:12):
than losing. But here's the thing, that kind of money,
it didn't stop you did it?

Speaker 2 (16:16):
No?

Speaker 4 (16:17):
I mean, I mean in the end, I'm still profitable.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
But that was I got to that point where I
put a big, big bit down on that game and
double down on it once he was out.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
And man, let me tell you that was that was
who that would hurt. We got a break. We'll be back,
big Ferguson grand Smith back there.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Five sixty six nine zero is the text line. Lots
of good texts coming in, Andy, says Nick. A rush
for meeting Skyline Chili. I'm from Ohio and love Cincinnati.
But there's no way somebody gets a rush from meeting
Skyline Chili. That's Grant. Oh you get a rush, it's
just out of a different order me.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
After a while, I think they called that one zoom.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Was she running the bomb baby book trying to get
back down to the restroom or whatever seven told has
been single must be.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Otherwise that gambling would get locked down.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yes, listen, I told him that doing it break, I said,
I told Grant, I said, well, Ben has a luxury yes,
he has no responsibility. He is his own responsibility. He
didn't even have a bit, Perry, I forget. I want
to go look at a dog, and they sold it
before I got there. I drove all the way out
the line and they sold it about thirty minute. For

(17:33):
a guy as sophisticated as you are, you would think
that you would call.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I did before you go. I set the appointment up
and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
I drove out there, and I guess somebody else they
came out there, and I wanted the female from this
litter or whatever, and I think they didn't tell me
because they wanted me to come out and buy the
last male puppy. I don't I don't want to male puppy.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
What kind of dog was it?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
It's called a silken windhound. I'm sorry, what a silken
wind hound? I don't know about grant.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I just got to know.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
He insulted me just.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Now, wind hound.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Talking about man. You just call me a job turkey.
That's what I look like that right there. What's a
real dog? I know it's a real it's a yes,
it is, man, it's it's a real dog.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
So so can win out just saying like anyway, I
went out, I went out there and yeah, they.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Sold it for you, roll out there for nothing, wind House. Yeah,
so I was that is about the creepiest looking dog. Creepy,
you know what?

Speaker 3 (18:33):
You know what that actually sounds like, likes like some
fine shebaw sounds.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Like that's creepy. That's strain here, wind you know what
I'm gonnaet. I'm gonna get given.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
A bunk like a dog calling that creepy. I'm showing
you a picture, right, how are you calling this creepy?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Grant?

Speaker 5 (18:54):
Look at that here, and it's got a neck swan like,
look at the call you creepy.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
You know what it looks like.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
It looks like a lone haired greyhound's similar.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Listen, that dog doesn't seem like it fits your lifestyle.
They do like to run, but they love to just
chill out. Once again, he said, the dog likes to run.
Something that Ben is emerging to. I'm running three and
a half miles a day.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I've been doing this since April, Like this is not
a fad.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
He's up to two days since Oh my god, whoa,
it's two whole days.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
These iPhones have got this built in apple thing.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
You try to go show us your steps, uh huh.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
And get you can look at this thing and you
can see you know what, and.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
All of a sudden it took off. Over the last
six months.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Ben is the type of person to put like something
like a watch that registered your steps and put it
on a car.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Let it drive around riding on the back of a Yeah,
let the dog run. He wants the dog to make
fun of it.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
That my future dog. I'm gonna I'm gonna get that dog.
I'm gonna bring it in here too. That's what's gonna
end uppening. I'm gonna bring it in here.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
I'm just saying, man, just make sure they don't poop
in my shoes.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well I don't. I mean, don't take your shoes off
in the studio.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
And then I don't think that would be a problem.
Oh man, can you imagine that dog seeking your shoes
out of Yes, but I.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Mean it's it's a bit of their fun. Dogs. They're fun.
They get their temperaments good, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
And wind what made you want a silking wind?

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I went down the.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Rabbit hole looking for different dogs, different temperaments, that kind
of stuff and everything, and I wound up landing there
and I was like, you know what, it's a It's
a graceful, small to medium sized dog with a silky coat, you.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Know kind of thing, and that, you know whatever everything.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
I've never heard of this dog before me like, like.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
This is like a new breed. I mean, it is
a new breed from a Deep South.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
I yeah, I was looking for dogs and love keeso
and chicken, and you know they're.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Spitting his dogs.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
For me, for you all killing me over this dog.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
What's the name? What the name? I picked up? Chloe, Chloe.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, if I ever had daughters, I was gonna we're
gonna name Himchoe Penelope.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
So those are the dog names.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
I was expecting something more majestic for Silken wind Hound.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's I'm just you know, they're affectionate, they're playful, but
they don't need to like, you know, I need to
run all the time.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
You've just described as like every single dog breed, they
typically lived.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
To their late teens, you know, so it's like a
long it's not like a dog that you know, he
only get ten years.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Out of kind of thing. So hey man, look.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
By the way they were developed in Austin Texas, not
the deep soft that's that's kind of.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Texas South to me. A uh, there's a breed you
got to was that breed used for?

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Because there's certain breeds that were used for certain things
like herding sheep or things like that.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
What was that breed used for?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
There're sighthounds, sighthounds so so so I'm thinking.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
You're hunting dogs based on site. You know, sighthound so.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Like a quarterback they see it, throw it right. Well,
it's like he's like a great hounds.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
You don't chasen the rabbit or you know that kind
of thing like that's that's you know.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah, I have to go home and ask my wife
have you ever heard of a win? How is she
gonna be like, excuse me? What did you say to me?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
You got this is an adorable looking dog.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
How are you guys like making this out to be something.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
That isn't all right? Like a pug is adorable. No,
they're not have a smushed face and they are not adorable.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Wait for certain people who love that type of breaze,
like like those bulldogs, Like.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I hate those. I don't want the slobbery.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
My brother has one of those, you know the slobbers
everywhere and breeze like it's the one that you're.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Talking about, looks like it has a lot of hair,
is gonna shove, But it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
That's the thing. Like it's it has a it really doesn't.
That's sens brand.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
The reason I was looking at it. Yeah, that's part
of the reason I was. I was looking at him.
I'm looking for like hypologetic doesn't really shed a ton,
you know, because I had a dog. I had a
sheldy that shed everywhere. It was like a big poofy,
you know, cotton ball. I mean, what happened to, uh,
your pit bulls? One of those like tore up my
brother's face. I'm good too, Rottwiler, I'm good on that.

(23:21):
I mean I would do a German shepherd Molanoy. Yeah,
I would do dogs, Irish setters gold Richard like I
would do I would do something like that.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
This is the one. This is the one. I like.
How about Irish wolfhound?

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Those things are really fluffy, aren't they? Yeah, like seven
foot of their high legs. Okay, so I have a
way off track.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
On his fourth to July.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Whatever, my buddy Kevin, Kevin Canterbury, he used to he
used to live down there in Nashville. We went to
go visit him. Kevin's big guy looks like a Viking
shaved head, red beard. It looks like a big, massive,
big Viking.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Right. And so he got a dog. He didn't tell it.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
He just told us he got a dog or whatever.
We're going out to at him. He's not at his house.
We drive from Little Roc to UH to Nashville. We
get to his place, you know, getting keys out of
the mask with let ourselves and Uh. I sit down
on the couch and all of a sudden, and picture
yourself sitting there at your head straight forward.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
You're looking. I think we're watching Lord of the Rings
of the TV's a monster, monstrous hand like a dragon, comes.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Down and lays its head on my lap. He got
the great Dane, and this is the great things are big.
This is the biggest great Dane I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
This thing was.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
It would put its paws up and easily rest on
top of the refrigerator.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Like that's how tall this thing was.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
There's a horse that's a man's man's dog. That's too
much dog, but that's a man's man dog.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Like I see people around in pocket pooches where.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I don't want to. I don't want a Yorkie.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
I'm just saying I've seen people jogging. What's a dog
in the stroller? And I thought it was Kyle in
the stroller And I'm like, that dog has four legs,
but you're pulling him around in the stroller.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well, if it's like a dog said, it's not gonna
be a corgy. It's not gonna be to keep up.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
But that's why. That's the other reason I looked at
the silk Winnox, like, this is dog that can keep up.
I can put on a leash and jog with it.
You gotta get a man's man dog. But like, what
do you want me to go out there to do?
Get a Doberman? Yes, I'm good on No, I wan't
need that temperamental. I don't know. I don't like those
temperamental dogs. But that dog is it's smart. I was smart.
It's very athletic. Part of the reason I went I
telling you you can teach it. You know almost anything.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
Dog's only as good as its owner. So I have
no faith for your sig.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Wind sil can wind out? Did you say Woodwind.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Doc?

Speaker 2 (25:36):
So I did have a Yorki at one point in time.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Because I I a long time ago, twenty years ago, whatever,
I used to get these relationships. The girls want a dog,
we get a dog, and we split. I somehow bought
up accustody the dog. So I wound up with this
Orchard Terre.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
This was the smartest dog of all time. All right,
this dog, Like, at first, I was like, what am
I gonna I'm go in this. I'm living in Arkansas,
I'm a dude, and I've got a Yorkie. Everybody in
this neighborhood's gonna start thinking something. So I'm like, all right,
but this dog was so smart. I'm about to watch
a game on TV. I made myself a little turkey
sandwich or whatever chicken in case, well, yeah there's a turkey.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
It was a dirty sandwich and set it down. I
need a drink.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
And then I looked over in the dog who I
called Henry, who was at the doorway, like in the
hallway there looking back at me, and I just lake
up and I'm like, you, you know words I can't
say on the air.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
So I I go grab the paper towels. I'm over there.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'm like getting ready to mop this stuff. I'm looking
for the wet spot. I can't find it. I'll look back,
and this dog sitting on the couch eating my sandwich, looking.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
At me like you're an idiot. Like that dog.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
That dog was so he was so he said a trap.
The dog set a trap to eat my sandwich.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
And you fell for it.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
I absolutely fell for it. I absolutely fear away he was.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
He was. That dog was too smart. He was too
smart for his own good.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
But anyway, enough about we've done fifteen cents on dogs now,
because you guys hate my soak and wind Hound. See
how it is you guys to a story would wind
Oh my god, you really are going to get that
into the lexic.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's gonna be like the.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
I can just see jogging around DTC with their silken
woodwind and a little baby stroller.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Why would I get a stroller for dog hair in
Watt Park? Right yeah, Oh my god, trying to pick
up the ladies.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
He was on to diet. He was one ninety two.
He's down like one fifty something now I crossed the
one sixty three. It was perfect for him. He take
his new dog down to wash Park. You know, just
kind of trying to pick up some chickens. We got
the dog park right over here. I don't need to
take it down. I've got the dog park right here.
I don't know about that. You may want to go
to wash Park.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
I'm just saying, actually, a lot of a lot of
ladies said Washing.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, you have more action down here, just saying
you would know five six sixty.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Nine zeros and sex line as the show's way off
the rest of.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
You guess Jos flucias uh possibly not playing for the
the uh the Nuggets despite being traded for his eyebawling.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
They've got a good offer from a team.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
In Greece and is kind of eyeballing potentially going to
play in Greece instead of coming to the Nuggets.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, you know, I had to look this up.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
I think the team is Panathon Nikos, and I think
what he wanted is he wanted more security with the Nuggets.
He doesn't get that type of security because the Nuggets,
I believe in twenty six, twenty twenty six, and twenty
twenty seven they have that team option where they can
exercise the option to keep him or decline. And he's like, well,

(28:30):
you know what, that's not panning out for me. He
can go over there in Patataikos. They're one of the
top teams right now, and there's several other players who
have NBA experience. Watcho Herman Gomez is he's.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
On that team as well.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
And Kendrick nun who used to play for the Miami
Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, he's on that team as well.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
So I guess it comes down to staying with the Nugget.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
It's saying, Okay, well, you can be a reserve backup
center for the Denver Nuggets with the possibility of winning
a title, or you can join and have a bigger
role with the team in the Greek League and you
can get paid just as much money.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Why not.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I will say this, no matter what happens, when he
decides the Nuggets are doing this trade for him to
get Sarch's contract off the book.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Okay, but but it's it's important that Balashuns takes this
deal because.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
If he goes to the Greek League, it's crews things.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Up for Sacramento, who's trying to dump salary.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
So if he if he if he bounds.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Out, the trade is still happening either way, is still
gonna happen, So there's still Yeah, that's what I'm getting
at it.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
He's the trade is gonna happen either way, both the
Nuggets and the Kings.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
And that's because the Nuggets are just trying to move
Sarg's contract. So that's you know, for the for the Nuggets,
they don't I mean, obviously they want him there and
they have a role for they're trying to convince him
to stay, but the trade is going through the way.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, when you look at a lot of those guys
who play overseas and you said, well, the why play
overseas and you can play an NBA.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Not everyone can play in the NBA. There's only so
many jobs.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
But the lure is the fact that sometimes they play
pay for your housing, they pay for your vehicle if
you if you in need of that. And then also
he's the biggest thing. Some of those teams are willing
to give you tax free money, right, so just think
about it joining the Nuggets or getting some tax free
money from another country.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Well, there's also the fact that it's closer to.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Home, you know, for him, I mean, you know, he's
from Lithuania, which is in the.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Northern part of the you know, the Eastern Block, but
it's much much closer to home.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
It's in the same time zone as Greece, so it's
you know, I mean it's it'd be like moving from
It'd be like you'd be in from Canada and you're
playing ball in Australia, so you go to play in,
you know, in Mexico City to you know, to get
closer to home. Like I can sort of understand that.
It'd be thirty one years old. He's done all he's
gonna do. He wanted an NBA. He won with the Raptors.
I mean, he's won a ring. So I can understand

(31:03):
the potential of wanting to get back close to home.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
I can understand it too, especially if you gotta pay
for my mills, my room and board and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
It's stuff that you're not getting from me.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Yeah, and there's a potential And that's not I'm not
saying that his contract is is kind of built out
this way, but knowing some of the guys who play overseas,
they can actually negotiate where that money is paid.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
To them tax free.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
So if you had that opportunity and you can walk
in and be the man on that team opposed to
being you know, a backup to Nikole Jokic, why not
do it?

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, I mean I get the Nuggets obviously want him
and want and have that backup role for vertical Yolkic,
but he could star on that other team that I can.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Never pronounce your name, path a Yaikos or whatever. Yes,
so here's the question.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
If he decides, if Vanachunis decides to go to Panathonikos,
now the Nuggets are still in conundrum. You don't have
a current backup center, Trew Centator, back up Nicole Yoki.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
You got ten million dollars to go find one.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Bro, But at this point we're gonna get Yeah, you
might as well called DeAndre Jordan back right.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
Well, I'm a DeAndre Jordan's fan. Yeah, but he ain't
doing much on the court.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, no he's not.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
But it's like like you Dons hozzled towards the end,
you know, you just you just move.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Around, Hey, you just hey, you're just collecting checks.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
The team comes to you say, look, we need you
to take a million dollar pay cut.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
You take it because they're just giving you basically free money.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
Yeah, that's a uh, we come back, Ryan, Blackbird's gonna joyce.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
We'll get his thoughts on the on that situation as
well as the new new Little Nuggets.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Overall, just a Brookus country night here, okay where,
