the collar, and I said tohim, Cole, you live a very
plush life. You enjoy your time. You go out to bars and restaurants
and hoity toity album release parties,and you rub elbows with some of the

(01:23):
biggest names in radio and entertainment.Why are you so upset this afternoon,
Cole, it's a Friday. Therewas a couple one your boy who I'm
trying to get into. Just togive the audience a little bit of background,
I used to work in country radio. Still do a little bit on
the other station over there down thehallway, k Bed, but I I'm

(01:46):
trying to get into Zach Bryant,Okay. And I was listening. I
was going to dinner yesterday after theshow, and I just put on you
know, Spotify or Pandora or whateverone it was, and this song came
up. And the song is MotorcycleDrive By by Zach Bryant. I'm like,
okay, I didn't know at thetime. I'll say, okay,
it's one of my favorites. Ilove I love Motorcycle Drive By. It's

(02:07):
it's unoriginal. I'll tell you that. Do you want me tell you?
Why should we play it? Yeah? Play it? We can play it.
Let's hear it. Okay, onesecond, So here's here's the opening
of Motorcycle drive By. Okay,hold on, it's near worm for sure.
I'll tell you I've been humming inoff air the entire same year.
But it's just bear with me listento got It one on two three four

(02:30):
one two's catchy? Rip right,let's catch you yeah, leave you the
songs catchy? Oh yeah, No, I love it. It gets me
in. The song gets me poppedup, one of my favorites. Let's
listen to this one. Okay,hold on, come on, Zach,

(02:53):
come on, Zach. Look,I'll give you a dollar if you know
that song. Uh, you gaveit to me or I've been so locked
in on sec celebration. I willgive me the hint. What is what
am I missing? Boots on theDance Floor by John Wolfe John Wolfe,
which came out before Zach Bryan's motorcycledrive by. Of course he did.

(03:14):
I was thinking Stephen Coyote. Uh, look, I understand. Look art
is a it's a copycat league forsure. It's it's something, Zach.
I'm trying to defend you here,buddy. It's tough. Another person I've
defended for a long time is lebronJames. And that is another reason why
I think you're pretty hot in thecollar, because you don't believe that Bronni

(03:34):
James deserves an NBA shot. No, not at all. Maybe in the
G League or maybe Australia, whereRich Baul was saying, but you okay,
you're gonna sit there and tell mewhat the straight face he deserves to
be the fifty fifth overall pick.Okay, so here is the deal.
Take out his last name. Soyesterday on the show, Cole and I
were doing what we do best,which is good talk radio, and news

(03:55):
broke that. Myers, the formerGM of the Golden State Warriors, reported
the Rich Paul super agent Lebron's agentagent of Bronny James, was calling teams
picking up the phone in Day twoof the NBA Draft, telling teams do
not draft Lebron James Junior because ifwe do not want to go to your

(04:15):
team, we don't want to goto Detroit, we don't want to go
to Orlando, we don't want togo to Milwaukee. We want to go
to Los Angeles. And if theLakers don't draft us, we would rather
go don Ada than play for yourstinking franchise. And a lot of people
weren't exactly thrilled by that. OnTwitter, a lot of people weren't exactually
thrilled by that. On this show, myself included your self included we don't

(04:36):
love the idea that there is asuperagent out there holding teams hostage. But
let's be completely honest to your call. Teams were not drafting Bronni James,
like, Oh, they just weren't. If they were, he would have
gone to the He's not worthy ofbeing drafted. Now, this is where
I have to stop you because Imade I laid the case out. Now,

(04:57):
maybe this is me putting my hornson and playing devil's advocate. And
if that's the case, maybe,But here here's why I think that Lebron
James Junior deserves a shot in theleague. Two parts, Part number one
will only focused on him. Iknow this kid's background. I know that
there's a couple of medical red flagsfor sure with his heart issues that USC
missed the first couple months of theseason. But I also know that he

(05:19):
comes from a two parent household.I know that his mom is very hard
working, and I know that hisdad's a billionaire. I know that his
dad has all of the money inthe world and that he's going to take
care of his body. I can'tsay that about every NBA player, can't
say that about every nineteen year old. I think both of us agree at
nineteen where we exactly are most physicallyfit, are the smartest. No,

(05:41):
but I know that le BRONI hasa good head on his shoulders because I
know that Mom and Dad are goingto make sure that he does have a
good head on his shoulders. Andpart number two, I have a forty
year old superstar who is extending thefather time window longer than any player in
history. I'm a Spurs fan,grew up a Spurs fan. I think
that anybody could do it better thanTim Duncan. And it pains me to

(06:02):
say this, but Lebron James hasdone longevity better than any player in NBA
history. There's nobody throughout professional sportsI would argue that has taking care of
their body better, that has maximizedthe most of their God given to gifts
than Lebron James. And I knowthat Lebron is not gonna let Bronni James

(06:24):
waste his so at pick number fiftyfive doesn't really matter. I mean,
like the best player picked at thatposition probably is Patty Mills, like a
decade ago. When you talk aboutwind shares, I think his win shares
like thirty five. But if Bronnycomes in and is the best thirteenth man
in the league. That's a hugewin for the Lakers. At pick fifty

(06:45):
five, you're expecting a six'one two and ten pounds, well,
not freshmen, but old eighteen yearold who averaged four point eight points in
the Pac twelve to to sell inthe league. Now here's the other part.
Would I had rather Bron he stayedin college one more year or two

(07:05):
more years because I think that ifhe gets to play a whole season he's
not missing time with a heart condition, then yeah, he probably averages more
points in better points than what hedid at USC. Well, if Lebron
James Junior decided to come to theforty Acres and play for the University of
Texas, I guarantee you many peoplewould have a very different opinion of him
than they do now as he's wearingthe purple and gold. All of that

(07:28):
to be said, from an NBAfan point of view, this is awful.
I hate the fact that there isa player in the league that has
this much power over an organization.When you talk about premier franchises in North
American professional sports, call the Lakersare like in that conversation, it's like
the Yankees, the Cowboys, theCeltics, the Bruins, and probably the
Lakers. I imagine. Yeah,So to have a guy like Lebron that

(07:53):
has this much power over an organizationto say, like the over the entire
league, to say you're gonna draftmy kid. That's not exactly great for
the sport. But from a parentpoint of view, from a you know,
hey, a guide point of view, how many of us would want
to play with their kid in thehighest level. I think most of us
would want that. So I froma guide point of view, I think

(08:16):
it's super cool it gets to playwith this kid. No, it's great,
I understand that. But what doesthat say to the locker room?
You just you just drafted Lebron's son, and essentially Jad is not running that
team. It's Lebron's team. Yeah, it's his coach, it's his GM.
You really think Rob Polenka wants todraft Browny, a six foot one
twenty year old or eighteen year oldin the second round. I can see

(08:41):
how it makes sense. But Iwill say this, the maybe that they
changed the name from the Los AngelesLakers to the Lakers, That's where we
have a Oh, it's been likethat for a while now. It's just
it's just really depressing to see andthen especially with the how many minutes do
is he gonna get? Yeah?Not, I don't know. We'll see
how many minutes he gets. Ido want to go a shout out though,
to two Texas standouts still to Sueat Max Amos, who both signed

(09:01):
free agent deals after last night's draft. Amos will be joining Utah Jazz summer
League roster after an excellent career onthe forty Acres. He is the eighth
leading scorer all time in NCAA history. He won Newcomer of the Week multiple
times while he was playing for thelong Horns. He was on the All
Big Twelve second team and it wason the five person All Big Twelve Newcomer

(09:24):
Team. And also to Sue,he will be joining the Raptors. So
I hope you as a passport anda nice winner coat because he's gonna be
cool. So, the six footnine Fluggerville native will be playing for the
Raptors. He earned several Big twelvehonors as well, including Most Improved Player
and his first team All Big Twelve. So two Longhorns in the league fingers

(09:45):
crossed that they have good careers.Summer league is usually a spot where you
can really prove yourself. Worst casescenario, you're signing a ten years,
ten day contracts somewhere in the season. But the one thing that I know
from both to Sue and Amos isthat they're both going to work their tails
off to get an opportunity in theleague. All Right, the transfer portal
is open, many Aggies are init. When it comes to the baseball

(10:09):
program, the question is how manyof them will follow their former head coach
to the University of Texas. It'san exodus. Next on The Craig Way
