Rob and Kelvin discuss whether the MLB’s punishment of the New York Yankees fans who interfered with a foul ball in Game 4 of the World Series was too light and explain why the Los Angeles Lakers insistence on getting Bronny James on the floor for PR purposes could come back to bite them. Plus, the guys use the Tom Brady-Gisele Bundchen drama as a backdrop to this week’s edition of One’s Gotta Go.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

And got some interesting things about men around your wife.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, we got a little going about that, a little
fun in We found out some things about Tom Brady's
X so we'll have a little fun with that a
little bit later on.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
And our number three, don't forget Adam Kaplan of course,
the Fox Sports Radio NFL insider. We'll get some NFL stuff,
a lot of baseball right now. We're gonna continue with
that as Game five of the World Series is about
to start in the midrogs minutes away for first pitch.
But we saw the game and there were fans down

(01:39):
the right field foul line, and Mookie Betts made a
great catch, jumped into the stands basically and caught the
foul ball.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
I think it was itt Wan Soto's whose ball was that?
I can't I can't remember who it was. I think
it was so, I think it was so. Yeah, you
got a couple of guys here in Austin Cabriaco, if
I'm saying it right, and John Peter, Uh, they were
the guys who were involved in the incident you're talking about,
and uh, Capo Bianco.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Then there we go.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
He told he GETSPN after the game that they are
ready for this drop. They always planned to do something
like that if it meant helping their team, and then
he goes on to say, we always joke about the
ball in our area. We're not gonna go out on
our way to attack, but if it's in our area,
we're gonna d up.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
As if he was out here playing defense. What in
the world is he said?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Someone defense, someone knocks the ball, We talk about it.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
We're willing to do this. I patrol the wall and
they know it.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
But if they wanted to, because Mooki reached into the stands,
they could have tried to catch the ball and block
him that way. What he did was trying to count
the glove open after he caught the ball.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Obviously like like that.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
He's holding Mookie in the air like he Wookie, let
me go up, trying to get back on the ground.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, it was definitely one of those moments. But here's
my thing. So they got banned from the Yankees for
Game five. This is the last game in New York
of the season, and obviously they're no more World Series
games after today in New York. The last two, if
they necessary, would be in LA. But here's my thing.
I think they kind of got off light because opening

(03:12):
up a player's glove to try to knock a ball
out is not like interfering, or doing something like that.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Is a little bit too much.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I think because they were season ticket holders that
they didn't get banned or like for next season or
a harsher penalty. Because I've never seen anybody try to
probably open a glove from a.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Player for a long time too. It wasn't a quick
like what did you do it? Let it go?

Speaker 4 (03:40):
I was really like, you see his face, he's gritting
his teeth. Give it a I was like, Yo, this
dude is crazy. I said, it looked like he had
Mortgage's future and get four to one k on this
this game and trying to justify him spending all that money,
and it was it was crazy to see. This is
where MLB has to be hard on people because again,

(04:02):
and I'm not trying to do the old Monday morning quarterback,
but as you said, you watch it, what if he
literally twisted Mookie's wrist so that he's like severely hurt
and I'm out of this right and I'm out of
this the rest of this world series. And now you
got one of the stars of this game, one of
the stars of the League, out of a world here,
not a couple of games in mid June, out of

(04:23):
a world series because some fan went crazy, Like you said,
it wasn't a bang bang in real time. I tried
to grab it, you try to grab it and whatever
he was going out of his way prying his hand
over and the other guy was holding Mookie's other hand,
and that's what he said.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
And then that's what made me mad.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Rob was because let's say he goes, man, I ain't
gonna lie. I got carried away. I just kind of
blanked out four minute. I was just wow. I was
in the moment. You'd be like, all right, I get it.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
He's over here, like we had this plan the whole time,
Like that's where if I'm baseball going, oh, so this
is what you were planning to do.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
He's like, I grab it. He holds the arm, and
were like, all right, now you're what is this is? Again?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
My wife is a lawyer. You know what this is premeditative, premeditated.
This is first degree robbery of a ball from Mookie
BET's hand. Okay, they thought about this, playing this out,
and then they had the nerve to execute it. So
you know what that is. You get more time for
the crime when it's premeditated. So that's what I'm doom
doo doo dude. I'm about to go law and order

(05:22):
on them.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Man, But do you.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Agree that if these were random fans who have no
history with the Yankees. You don't have an account, right
because they told those guys, if you show up today
for Game five, you're gonna be arrested, and that's what
they told them. But only being for that game, you
know what I mean. Random fans that they didn't know, what.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Care baby, the one time ticket buyers whatever, can't be
here right clearly, this is what they do. They're known
in that area that you know, and you know it
is when you get certain like sections. This is what
we do. We've been having tickets for twenty years. I
know everybody around me know. They immediately pulled up those tickets.
They've been they've been seating to go for fifteen years.

(06:04):
We can't boot them out of here. And not to
mention you know how this goes. If they mess around
and come back and win this series, those unfortunately, that
guy is going to be immortalized as this was.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
The moment the spark happened.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yes he is, Rob, you know it, Rob g tell
me I'm wrong if they come back, you know, really
that was the moment. You know, Rob Parker, Hey, statues, boy,
you thought the way wasn't getting a statue.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
This dude is getting a statue.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
If they come back and win out the ball, it'll
be the moment that Sparks speak anything right there or not?

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Boy, if they come back and win, you know, I'm right, Rob,
I don't know what statue maybe I'm but what they
will promise you. He will have a car or something
on one of the parade.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yes, oh god, he will be up there with.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
Bope and Vope like yeah, yeah, right, putting his hat
over the barricane I gets the wall, that kind of thing.
He's gonna reenact it like, oh yeah, he's going in
the Hall of Fame. He's already been invited on multiple shows.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Oh I'm sure he had, dude, I'm telling you, right
to be condemned, though I don't. I'm with you. But
if they win it all this is New York. The
rest of the league my condemn him. New York is
gonna be Yoh that's my manness would have started.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
It was the spark.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Fat Joe gonna be sitting there mad as heck like
it was supposed to be me. I'm sure Fat Joe
still is not happy. He's supposed to be me. Wow,
this guy, I'm telling you right now, you know how
these stupid things go rod, especially in baseball, craized areas
and superstition.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
All that, but I don't think it's fair to try
to rip somebody's glove open, and again.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
To talk about it as if this was always the
game plan. We've been sitting here as ticket holders for
years and if this ever happens, me and my boy,
this is what we're doing. And then they actually do it.
I mean he was literally biting his cheek. It wasn't
like a bang bang, It was like literally trying to
ring you and I are watching it live, what is
going on? So yeah, I think if you're a baseball

(08:06):
you gotta come down a little harder than that, because
it almost it almost stole away from what a wonderful postseason.
If something if that were a different inning, ninth inning,
or something crazy or Mookie gets hurt, that potentially could
have ruined an amazing World Series, an amazing postseason run
that baseball's having because of something bad happening again Voki
due Mukie wrisk he's in the air rop. No that

(08:30):
could have gone wrong. It could have gone fast series,
And now we all got to remember this crazy dude
who was going nuts trying to get the ball, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Rob Gee, what do you go?

Speaker 6 (08:38):
You got a question for you guys. So obviously we
agree that this guy was out of bounce, right. I
think that goes without saying. Are you surprised though that,
given the way previous fan interactions have been condemned Russell Westbrook.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
You know Lebron James. This is what I'm at.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
Okay, So this is the way that it was phrased
by the ESPN reporter who got him the record after
the game, and it tweet. Here's Austin Coppo Bianco in
the middle because the fan that interfere with Mookie I
talked about a local bar when a bunch of other
fans asked him to take a picture with him and
for his autograph. He was abute story up soon at

(09:17):
ESPN quote. If it's in our area, we're gonna d
it up. So even the reporters are glamorizing this.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Guy, he should be condemned because you can't have that.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
I told you.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
If the ball goes into the stands and the outfielder
is jumping into the stands, I have a right to
go for the ball, like if he would have tried
to catch it, catch it catch it and it blocks
it from from Mookie's uh glove club, then you can
do that, do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 (09:50):
But but not what he was doing. He's Rob g
and his boys other boys holds. That's crazy and Mookie
seriously could have got hurt in.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
The way you guys are responded like it's a joke.
It's not. But nobody is upset. No I was.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I was upset in real time because again, well, let
me let me get you, let me say, let me,
let me, let me say, let me say this, Rob.
This is the reason why it's partly what you're saying,
because we're in the meme and gift era. So even
when something bad immediately you know how many people sent
me gifts or videos of him I got to They
were saying, uh, when your dog has a tennis ball

(10:29):
and won't give it up, or when my lady.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Grabbed posted one too. So yeah, I know exactly.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
So that's we're in a moment where, dude, we'll laugh
at an old lady falling down the stairs if you
write it, if your if your captions clever enough, that's
the era we're in. So Bartman rolling around in his grave,
I know he's alive, but Bartman is rolling around and oh,
y'all want to condemn me, I'm the reason why. But
this dude, you're laughing making gifts, but he's getting signature.

(10:56):
But the difference is they one.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, and that was a key play lay or ball
that could have been, you know, an out for the Cubs,
and and then they wind up not winning and everything,
so it kind of changed.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
But we were too hard on they were too crazy.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Thirty thirty was out a lot. It was a lot. Uh,
here comes the greatest baseball player to ever lived.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
By the way, well, nobody's on base four chains, so
it won't be a two run home runner the first
and have been solo blast. Uh two out to nobody
on show A swung it the first pitch. Again, he
does that a lot.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, he needs somebody in front him, Like all right,
let me let me figure this out a little different.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, Freddy six consecutive World Series home runs.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven,
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine and and just
uh did they get too lenient of a penalty just
missing one game?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Should Baseball or the Yankees come down harder.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I think it's because they have money and the sixth
season ticket holders, because if this was random fans nobody
knew or that just happened to get tickets, they could
easily throw the book at them.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
And here's a suppost a child, right.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
And I'll add to this, I think we're desensitized. I
think we just because of what Rob said. We see everything.
Everything's online, we see people getting shot. And I mean that,
I'm not trying to be funny like you just see
if you're scrolling up your timeline, who knows what you're
gonna see from funny to serious. It's just like, ah, whatever, whatever, whatever.
And I think we've become to sensitize. At that play,
we all went that's crazy and just moved on when

(12:25):
it's really like, yo, that could have been really dangerous
for Mookie. So eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
same thing, how do you feel about it?

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Did they get it right? Should have been more?

Speaker 4 (12:34):
And until just we have these fan issues with players,
you know how we've seen it happen so many different times.
We want to hear from you. Reach out eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. It is the odd Couple.

We talked about it earlier. Yeah, I mean the truest
definition of early. It's literally the bottom of the first

(13:25):
But my guys, three nothing, nothing that quick.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
So it was a walk to Sodo with one out.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Judge goes home run two one job, and now Jazz
Chisholm just drilled one out and it's three nothing.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Let's do what Mike and Augusta. You're on the a
couple of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
What's up? Mike?

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Hey, what's going on? Fellas y So, So my opinion
on what happened, you know with the fan of New York.
I think it was horrible. It was egregious, and it
kind of reminded me of what could happen with the
mousee of the Palace when fans put themselves in the
competitive situations like that. And also it's like, what if

(15:24):
he would have win in the stands or something like
that happened, he would have been called every type of
hoodlum in the world. It kind of speaks to the
elephant in the room, you know, privilege, so to speak.
So yeah, it's I really hate the reaction from the
media or not all of the media, but.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
No, no, no, and that's why, Yeah, I don't appreciate you.
I don't think it should be glorified or anything. I
really don't.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh my gosh, what was that? Well they got wax
on the grass out there Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, my point was I love his point actually, just
to say that mookies, man, he went out of he
did too much. If he goes in there and say,
now you know you hurt my wrists and like punches
the guy or slash the guy now moving, he's over
the top. He shouldn't have did that. He's a bad guy.
That's a great point Mike made right there. Where you
want to go next?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Dave in Montana? You're on the couple five months. What's up, Dave?

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh nice?

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Hey, thanks guys, appreciate you taking the call.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
That's right, Hey, Alex, that's really dark too.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
By the way, Alex is going dark. Man. I'm so
everybody and take all of them and don't leave a witness.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
But but yeah, man, I was angry watching that. That
was ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Like fan interference happens.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
It's reflexive.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
You want to reach out and catch the ball right
your way, but these guys are.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
Putting their hands on a player that is a salt.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
And that's what I was saying that that they should
just one game like there Turnothy, the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Gave them their money back, you know.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
They they refunded their money for tonight's game and then said, okay,
you just can't come to the game, and if you come,
will you'll be arrested.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
MLB asked to suspend them from all stadiums for at
least a year to three arrested.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I wouldn't be mad at that right now. They should not.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
They should not touch Mookie bets crazy.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Thank you for the call. What's craziest. I read to
you his quote, like we this is what we have
had planned in this event.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
That's the first of all snitching on hisself. You know
what I mean.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
I didn't know. I just haven't. He's out here telling
us it was premeditated. That's crazy work.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Todd and Idaho. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Todd?

Speaker 8 (17:30):
Hey man, all these people are exactly right. Any saying
adult can see minimum one year band.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, correct.

Speaker 8 (17:37):
It's just it's it's out allan, It's not to be normalized.
It ain't right. They're grown adults. It's a complete clown show.
My heart says lifetime bands.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
But yeah, one year, one year, right, and then they
are season ticket holders. But they shouldn't get a slap
on the risk of just one game. I think that
that's not fair.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, I agree, Hey, thank you, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
We appreciate it. Man is over in the Bronx.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
It's three nothing Yankees on Jack Flawherty and the Dodgers.
He sure did, Ron and spoke. Can you're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
What's up? Ron?

Speaker 8 (18:18):
Hey, thanks for taking the call.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Guys, I appreciate you, thanks for listening. Yeah, imagine this.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
I play right field, they catch a foul ball, I
get assaulted and muggs.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
But but then and then there's no pen just one
game he gave him. He didn't even forfeit the tickets.
That's that's crazy, you.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Know what I mean, Like they gave him his money
back and said you just don't show literally what and
and thank you for the call.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Ron.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
To Rob G's point, here's what's crazy about the era

Like we're in the crazy world right now, where what's
wrong is right, what's right is wrong, and clout chasing
is the new clout is the new drug. Clout is
the new Currency's been my phrase. You could give somebody
ten thousand dollars and said, no, I'm straight, give me
ten thousand followers.

there's a reason why we're watching it. And as the Lakers,
they're visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers. Obviously Lebronzo stumping grounds, but
there is a report that there is a chance Bronni

(20:47):
was gonna play. And if you saw the Cavaliers posted
on their own page welcome Home, they had this picture
of Bronnie as he is a baby, when he was
young kid, hanging around with Pops when he was playing
with the cast, and they said, welcome home bron Welcome
home Bron And so clearly the Cavaliers honoring Lebron. And
also there's a thought that he may play tonight, and

(21:08):
you know, I've been one of those and then I'm not.
I don't make a big deal of it as much
as ever, he's a fifty fifth pick.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Whatever. It doesn't bother me. There.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
They're you know, kind of taking care of their man
and Lebron whatever. But even I have to say, all
right now, like Lebron retiring, sure he gets a tour
right where you're going to city to city and make
sure he plays, and you know, whatever happens, and stop
the game to honor stopping games and doing stuff to
get Bronny and every other the city that are right now,
we can we set it down a little bit. And

(21:34):
I understand it's Cleveland his home place. If he's in
the league as he is as of now, he's got
a guaranteed contract.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
He'll be back. He'll be back next year.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Like well, and this game is problematic for them, right yeah,
they're they're down, but I don't think last I saw
is maybe eighteen eighteen or twenty.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
But they're down big.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
And here's the problem if you do, if it winds
up saying to blowout, can you really put Bronnie in
without with having Lebron in? Because if it's that, if
it's that bad that you're emptying the bench and putting
all those guys in at the end of the fourth quarter,
Lebron wouldn't be in, you would be taking him out.
That would be like, what are we doing here right?
Why he shouldn't be in the game. Why are we

(22:15):
wasting minutes on Lebron in a twenty point blowout?

Speaker 4 (22:18):
The only thing I can think of is this actually
may work out for the late well for I Leus,
the Lakers, the Cavs in the NBA. Is this being
a blowout so that you can put him in because
he's just you know, scrub time, scrub minutes. You put
him in the game, and then that way he got
to have his first time ever back in Cleveland, place
where he grew up a bit, you know, before he
grew up the rest of his life thus far in

(22:39):
La So I think that actually might work out where
you can say it was a blowout guarantee to put
him in. Right, he's in the game because we're getting
blown out. Who cares? And we got our fix of
seeing Bronni on the same team with Lebron. Maybe not
on the court at the same time, but now he's
out here playing in front of the old Cleveland crowd
where he grew up.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
So that might actually work out where.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
If it was semi competitive eight to ten point back
and forth, You're like, a way, will we make it
make sense?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
But it just seemed like if it's if it's so
out of whack, Lebron shouldn't be in. Well, that's what
I'm saying, Brony, this is singularly, Brian. I don't think
you keep bron. I don't think you're gonna get both,
is what I'm saying. You just getting You just can't.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
You can't, right, because that would be but that kind
of defeats the purpose.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
But even I, as a big bron I would even
be all right, I settled down, like down twenty six,
and then check again Lebron. James like, all right, bron
if you don't go sit down, bron what are you
doing in here like right now, down twenty six with
four minutes left, like, so we'll have to wait and see.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
It's NBA.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Could you don't want to make it a mockery where
you're starting to do stuff that you know you wouldn't do.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
And even anybody, and even.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Somebody like me who was for it the first time,
even I would be like, all right, it's getting a
little carried away, like you don't need to do all this,
Like let's just you had the historic moment. It was awesome, cool, Great,
let's get the season rolling. Laker's been playing well. I
think the three and one on the season thus far.
We don't need that. So it will keep an eye
on it, though, because if they mess around and you know,
make a game of it or whatever where Lebron's gonna play.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
A minute, it's yeah, we'll keep an eye on that
game right now. Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, I'm just gonna say, uh, I get it. You
know Cleveland, his hometown is Aquin, Ohio like that. You Yeah,
so there there's a piece of that, and we get it.
You never know, you expect Lebron and as you say,
him and BRONI you maybe have other opportunities, but you
don't know. You really don't know. And it's a chance
he's still on the roster. So if he's still on

(24:31):
the roster, uh, and they're in Cleveland, his hometown, Like,
there's the opportunity. So you might have gone in with
those intentions. But once the game gets out of hand,
you got to adjust. You gotta not make a mockery
of it and do something, just say, well, we'll put
him in any way. No, if it really is a
spot where it fits, fine, but you cannot like force

(24:55):
it in.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
And we're getting closer to what I kind of told
you I thought was gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
That he's gonna play or at least be around the
team the first whatever it is, six to eight I believe,
before the actual G League starts, and then he'll go down.
So this makes sense, right opener, first game in la
historic moment, the Griffies are here, we're playing them. Absolutely,
they're gonna get at least thirty seconds together, end up
being a couple of minutes whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Check that game off the box.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Wouldn't that be cool if the King of Cleveland of
Acron comes back and now we have the Prince of
Accarinnity comes back in Cleveland. Wouldn't that be awesome whether
this happens or not. But I could see this being
kind of the plan of, hey, these first five six games,
because you already had the other two players get designated
to the G League. So I think Bronni is just

(25:41):
a matter of a game or two away, like after
this one sentimental Cleveland back home moment. I think he
gets designated to the G League and we don't see
him again until the end of the season.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
That's a even a big maybe. Yeah, to make the postseason.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Postseason, maybe they put him on the roster just to
be on the bench so he can have that I
played in or I was a part of a postseason run,
even if I was just a street low. But I
don't think we'll see him again until then.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, It's just gonna be interesting to just see how
they play it, because you do want to figure it out,
uh so that the game keeps uh a credibility part
of it, do you.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Like, like you can't just yeah, if you just start
doing stuff and you're forcing it and then people won't
take it seriously, you know, like what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (26:23):
You lose the good will of even like people like
myself who were like, oh cool, well that's not a
big deal.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I just now you're like all right, like like what
are you doing on the lake? Are you guys trying
to win? Or are you trying to another photo op?
Or what you got the picture? He already did it.
It's already, uh, the first time it's ever been done.
You don't need to do it in every city. You
don't need to do it. And I get Cleveland being
his hometown, so that that might be the only other spot.

(26:48):
There's no other spot New York because it's the Mecca
and Lebron always plays well in the Mecca.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
We got to do it like that.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
No, we'll see right now they are coming coming back
just a little bit, so we'll see if they actually
make a run at this and we see him.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
But yeah, we'll keeping an eye. Of course.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
On the World Series Game four, Game five, I should
say Yankees up three, bottom of the second, no outs,
got a guy on second, Uh flarity, come on, brother,
Well you know, come on, man, we we we said baseball,
you won the game six a seven. As of now,
it looks like you might get that butt. It's only

(27:25):
bottom second lot of baseball.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
But you gotta admit for the Yankees coming off the
eleven runs last night, to come out of the gate
with runs.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
And I like, man, I didn't like Aaron Judge's face.
He looked like I figured it out, face like that
like that, and he hit the ball.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
To right field, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
And that's when you're hitting as a right handed when
you start hitting the ball the other way, you got.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Your swing going. Yeah. I didn't like that one bit. Hey,
we're gonna do, of course, on Wednesdays. We like to do.

Speaker 4 (27:49):

The ones gotta go understand, let's do it. And this
is Tom.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Brady's ex just l bunching and believe it or not,
she is actually pregnant. And then nobody saw that coming.
Wait a minute on, yes she is pregnant. Didn't see
that coming. Uh, but it's with the jiu jitsu.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Is that a trainer is that I don't know if
he's a coach, but with him and that was the
guy that, like many people were suspecting maybe something was
going on her and her and him had something.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Well, she was with TB twelve and the whole time
I just thought it was an innocent body slam.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah, all ain't working out? Oh yeah, you know, come here,
let me know, get on the mat. All that getting
on the mat has hers where we are in this
situation right now, So Rob, Rob, g Alex beef in.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
One's gotta go. So we're gonna tie this into again.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
There was people suspecting, could something be else be going
on right now? Something out there watching ain't coming home,
watching an answering his phone call. So one's gotta go. Bestie,
you know, oh that's just my best friend. Oh that's
just my play brother. Oh no, no, no, that's just
he's just that. Okay, you're in a relationship. We're assuming
all of these gentlemen are straight, okay, right, that has

(30:15):
to be theg that is the keeper. Here is the qualifier.
They're all straight and all very much heterosexual. And then
two women, her bestie, her play brother guy. We're calling
that one guy, okay, Alex her personal trainer or in
this case, jiu jitsu master. So we're counting that the
guy who's keeping her in shape, right, okay, train her

(30:36):
her work, cubby. Oh, that's just Steve, that's just my work.
You know, he's just we just let me.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Just ask the question. Does does Steve have a paunch?
What are you talking about? What is a paunch? Well?
They call those baller bellies.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Now, okay if yeah, If if he has a paunch,
then I'm okay with yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
They call them baller bellies. That means got money, It
means eating good. That's what the girls call it. Now
they call it baller belly, means he's eating good. Come on,
you spend on a time Detroit US what they call
it a baller belly. And lastly, again, he is straight
a stylist or a.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Beautician, so he's keeping the key.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Maybe he's their makeup artist, or maybe he's doing her hair,
or maybe he's literally the stylist or wardrobe solist, someone
who keeps her looking good in that regard. So those
are yours you bestie, slash play brother, personal trainer of
some sort her work, hubby who may have a baller
belly or her straight stylist or beautician. This is easy
for me, all right, do you want to go last
thing or do you want to go first?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, no, rob G, you want to go first? Rob G?

Speaker 6 (31:32):
Sure, because you're married, you Hey, happily married.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
With a pregnant wife. So this probably doesn't even apply
to me because I don't know how many guys.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Hey, Giselle was pregnant at once. That's a good point.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
Now she's pregnant again, and then again Tom Brady did
leave Bridging.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Morning had when she was pregnant. Baby Mama drama. So
let me this is tough, so walk us through. So
I'm gonna walk you through it.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
Number one, I'm gonna say that the uh, the best
friend the guys who go up with Yeah, I'm not
worried about that guy because in the ideal world we've
known each other for a long time. Now I know
him as well. We've probably have hung out before. It's cool.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (32:09):
Number two, I'm gonna eliminate the work husband because I'm
really just to be honest, I'm probably gonna have spies
in the building anyways.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
They know what's going on, to know the wall's tall.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
If it's anything like fox Boards Radio, everybody knows what's
I know what we're going with you what's going on?
So for me and then again the hairstylist. You know,
if she needs I'll give her a fathe You know,
it's if it's the personal trainer, it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
Get yourself the SHAWNTE workout video, me and you can
go to Planet Fitness together for forty minutes every other
day and that's about it. There'd be no personal training
in this household, all right, Hey, Alex he basically you're
a personal trainer.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
You can't worry. Yeah, you wouldn't be in on this,
that's true. Rob J would kick you out.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
He would, he would. He's seen me all that. He's
not a fan, he's he's seen your abs too.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
That's the problem.

Speaker 7 (33:02):
I'll say this between all of them, I think Rob
G shortchanged the male best friend. Let me tell you
why we're all men?

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Right?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (33:11):
Do you spend time on things that doesn't pay out somehow?
Here's a perfect answer, rob Do you have female friends
you talk to all the time?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (33:19):
How about you, Kelvin?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I do? Point right there, I did, but I had
to answer honestly, I do, Okay, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 7 (33:28):
Well, how do you justify the female friends you have.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I've been like that for years and she now have.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Like a female best friend, not as much a singular
like that's my one best friend.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
But I have female friends.

Speaker 7 (33:39):
Okay, but you don't have like that one female you know.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
I don't have the one that I'm just hanging out
with all the time and hey, don't worry about I'm
going to Vegas with her.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah, I don't have that, no, right.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
So I'm not saying that platonic relationships can't exist.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Just that one really, really really close. Yeah, I'm telling you.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
Remember when you and your wife Kelvin have issues, guess
who she's talking to.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah. Him.

Speaker 7 (34:00):
When you guys are shortcoming or you don't do something right,
guess who she's telling. So now this is the person
for the outlet of all your shortcomings. And guess what
was there waiting in the bullpen like the Dodgers for
that one game to throw away?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
So who is it there?

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Man?

Speaker 2 (34:13):
So that's what is the best thing for you? No,
best for you.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
I'm telling you because I know as well. To have
somebody that close but also a significant other means you
are not that invested in your significant other. For example,
I have a mother and a sister. Right, They have
filled that role for women's needs until I was dating
my girl now. So that's why I'm telling you you've
got to be careful about that ling green friend.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
He like cleave to your woman, leave the home and
cleave whatever it is. That's what you did, all right, Rob,
come on.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Who you got? All right?

Speaker 1 (34:42):
No trainer person. I'm with Rob Jeef because they're stretching
you out. They see you and it can be outfit
you know what I mean in there.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
But yeah, I don't want a trainer.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yes, you can be trained out here in the stream,
but I don't want her to have a You have
a female trainer, Yeah I can. So they can stretch
you out. They can stretch you out, be fair.

Speaker 9 (35:06):
I'm with Rod because anything where you might get sweaty
with this person, I'm just gonna leave it there. It's
gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Look at y'all.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Yes, but then you can get getting stretched out and
put over a mat and worked out like that.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Huh No.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
But the only problem is she might be getting work.
They can like a burger from Yeah, that's the problem.
They can get some extra sets with you.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
You can be over curling women, but they for the
ground and pound workout. Let's just get back and.

Speaker 7 (35:32):
Just get back down there. No, he's gonna be doing
John Yoda. I'm surrounded by men that don't work out.
That's why they're worried about this.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
That's what I'm half with. You have with him, you know,
I'm like half work out, all right? My answer Bestie
to Rob G's point, I feel like I've known if
he al what's up?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Man, I'm cool with him.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
He's at the house or you know, he comes to
the girls, my daughter's birthdays. Like I know, I'm cool
with that personal trainer. I feel like I'm alright because
he's getting her in shape and it's kind of a
place where everyone is.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
That's what I'm saying. So I'm okay with that. What
at Tim Duncan on Line one. Tim Duncan is.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
Online because I'm saying this, Calvin, if she's able to
fall for a personal trainer, trust me, it would have
happened somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah, he's right.

Speaker 6 (36:11):
You know, we also must find that the personal trainer
is like a regular personal trainer at La Fitness, not
like the Giselle type where they come to you.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
You know, I'm just gonna generalize. If he's all brown,
he ain't got no brain, and she needs a brain.
She needs somebody just just walking around buff. So I'm
okay with that stylist or whatever. Make my baby look good.
Let my baby look good. I'm gonna end it with
that work, bestie, the work, because think about this, You
spr at work like eight to ten hours ending on.

(36:40):
That's more time than you spend with your significant other,
your girlfriend or your your your wife. So that's eight
nine ten hours. Just yeah, what they said, what tell
me more? That's crazy. Let's go do that. What So
I'm gonna go him now, that's that's where I'm going
to BeFAN. You said, George with the trainer. Yeah, definitely
the trainer.

Speaker 9 (36:58):
You don't want people getting sweat Ybody gets sweaty can
lead to a lot of other things.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah right, you keep telling us you sweat when you engage.
We got it. We got it the first time. Brother,
All right, there you have it. One gotta go.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
So we got the UH, the personal trainer for a
couple of you. We got the UH for me. It
was the work of you and the kind of the
same space. It's the same it's the best best friend for.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
You and for me.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
That's not what helped my divorce along. It was Tiger Woods,
who's the one who hurt.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Yeah, I was so mad at you that you were
worried about the wrong club.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
You're supposed to worry about your own client, your all
night iron man? What were you doing there? All right?

Speaker 6 (37:32):
So in the spirit of the segment, does that mean
they're all going? Then we pretty much kicked it. Yeah,
we got them out. We cannot have any man. The
only friend you got is me and maybe your daddy.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
That's all you got. And if we got a son,
all right, there you go. That's all the test I
sern you need in your life. All right, we gotta
we got a good one going right now for nothing.
Right now, The Yankees are up on the Dodgers. Continue
