How much do we pay for a soda, a dye

Speaker 2 (01:56):
In Los Angeles? Rob G? Do you know dollar ten?
A dollar tag?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Expensive? All right?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That sounds good?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Right? Yeah, guess how much they paid for a twelve
ounce I got?

Speaker 5 (02:07):
This is dire pepsi, but a twelve ounce drink here
in New York City on what on West fifty fifth Street?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I'm gonna go to fifty.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Rob G.

Speaker 7 (02:21):
You gotta guess you wouldn't ask unless it was lower.
So I'm gonna say seventy five cents, Alex.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
You gotta guess it's like the price is right? I
love it.

Speaker 8 (02:32):
I know.

Speaker 9 (02:35):
I have fifty I'm saying a dollar.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Twenty five cent.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
You're not making any twenty five You heard what I
just said, you're not making any.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Money up their employees. That's what it should be like.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
You shouldn't be making any money, right, it's just for convenience.
Twenty five cent for a twelve ounce soda in tell Manhattan,
think about that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Twenty four that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
That is incredible. Thank you. iHeartRadio and New York.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Rob G.

Speaker 10 (03:09):
He just ruined it. I ain't never doing a show.
I'm going I'm going in from New York every day now.
I'm moving to New York.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Now.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
The only problem is, Rob G, is that I'm gonna
have to pay seventy five dollars for an extra bag
because I'm taking.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Home a forty twenty five cent coach.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
And I'm actually shocked, real talk.

Speaker 10 (03:26):
I mean, I'm shocked that people don't just you know,
by eight a day and that they got her. They
run through them like they're out every day. That that's
that actually doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Like that is remarkable.

Speaker 10 (03:36):
I mean it's almost to the point where what's the
twenty five cent for, Like, just keep it at this.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Point, just go ahead and have one. Just go ahead,
get your little pet.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
That's not bad. That's that's a great deal, all right,
That's a great deal.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
You know what it is. I figured it out.

Speaker 10 (03:48):
They only did that because they knew you were coming in,
Like we heard a great deal. Now we're gonna go.
It's two twenty five normally, but he's coming. Let's make
it look good. We'll give him a Jital five sets.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes, you know I felt good about it, all right,
Rob G, can you give us an update about your
favorite basketball team, the Los Angeles Lakers and your guy
Lebron James, who's not with the team personal reasons, as
coach JJ Reddick has said, and there's more.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Yeah, Rob, the updates are not good if you're a
Lakers fan because despite being off for about a week now,
including as you mentioned, two personal days away from the team,
which we don't know what they're for, whether injury, emotional, mental,
we have no idea at this point, has already been
declared out for tomorrow's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and

(04:36):
the company line, Rob and Kelvin is that he's just gassed.
He needs a rest, he needs to recuperate, you know,
to finish off the rest of the calendar year.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
And this was the guy who they can't JJ and
him came in with the plan. They was gonna play
every game this year? Was that the plan?

Speaker 8 (04:52):
Right?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
He was gonna play?

Speaker 11 (04:55):
That was the craziest thing I've heard for a forty
year old player.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Okay, is not a lot. Why why would that be
on the docket, right? I think what Michael Jordan played
every game is last year. I'm just it's one of
those things that it's gotta be something. But Michael wasn't
forty years old. Okay, remember he only played fourteen years.
Here we go, though, Kelvin, Seriously, Lebron James has let

(05:24):
down the Lakers, Okay with this stunt that he's pulled here.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
And I don't know what he's going through the personal reasons.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
I'm not trying to get into that, but this guy
has taken over the Lakers organization.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Jeanie bust for whatever reason.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I don't out there like they never had an empty seat,
but she feels like without Lebron, I guess that they
can't function.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
But here's my biggest issue. Kelvin.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Lebron got his guy hired as coach. JJ Reddick. Say
whatever you want, oh Lebron and a podcast partner. Let's
put JJ Reddick on display so everybody can say he's
a basketball genius, and look at all he knows all
this stuff about basketball, all this other stuff.

Speaker 10 (06:08):
And.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
He gets the Lakers to draft his son so that
he could play right on the team with and then
the kid. You thought, like a lot of people already,
go down the G League, No big deal, to a
photo op. It'll be all over, Go ahead down and
get better. No, he's on the team. He's not traveling
on the road with the G League team. He's with
the main club. He's not playing them just for what

(06:32):
why is he taking a roster spot?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Okay, and now he's not playing, he's on a sabbatical
and taking days off.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Like if you're injured, you're injured. But just to take
off and be away from the team is letting the
team down. They need Lebron James. They're not rolling, you know.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
What I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Like even with Lebron, and he's been playing well except
for that really bad eight games or whatever it was,
six aims that stretch. His numbers are good and he's
stepping away from the game. So he's not holding up
to his end of the bargain. When the old when
the franchise bent over backwards for him, Darvinham.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Okay, you got problem, you'll want him around.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Okay, we'll do to that, you guy, JJ Redick, your
podcast partner.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
You really think a lot of JJ and all that. Okay,
we'll hire JJ. What you want, Bronnie or whatever? He
want us to give him a fully guaranteed contract to
instead of what everybody else gets in the second round.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Okay, we'll do that too. And now your ghost you're gone,
And now all let's.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Talk about He's desperate to win a championship with Bronnie
and he wouldn't go to any other trade unless his
sons go.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Man, that's a lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
If I'm the Lakers, I feel like I got betrayed
by Lebron. That Lebron sold me a bill of goods
and now he's ready to dip out the back door
with his kid in tow.

Speaker 10 (08:00):
Up. Remind me to never have a rough personal week
or whatever. Even if I'm injured falling down the stairs,
I can't take a week off because everything else I
would have done you like you know what, Rob G
and Alex, It's over for Kelvin because God forbid something
going on in life and I need a week off
a week, a week of eighty two games, a week

(08:20):
of playing until April, maybe May, maybe June, depending on
how far it goes. And I need a week the
same person who has given you his all, who gave
you a championship, who worked to get you to Western
College finals, and it hasn't been great. I can understand
frustration with Laker fans. I can understand they thought we
would get more, we wanted more, but you know what

(08:40):
it was prior to Lebron. And this is one thing.
I truly mean this. I need Laker fans to understand,
and Rob G, you're one of them.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
It ain't perfect. You're dealing with a forty year old.

Speaker 10 (08:50):
He's going he's he's gonna be tired, he's not gonna
play the best defense.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
And you know, I'm a big fan, but it's the fact.
But let me tell you some records you had prior
to him.

Speaker 10 (09:00):
He's twenty twenty three to twenty fourteen, twenty seven games
you won, the next year, twenty one games you won.
The next year, seventeen games you won the next year,
twenty six games you won. So all of a sudden,
the Bron gets here and it ain't been great. You
ain't looking like the Warriors run. But then get you
won thirty seven, fifty two, forty two, thirty three, forty three,

(09:21):
forty seven. Like I said, you went into the Western
Conwence finals, you won a championship, You made the postseason
a few times. In addition to that, it ain't been perfect.
But again, it ain't been twenty seven, twenty one, seventeen,
twenty six wins. It ain't been getting the number two
pick Lonzo Ball, D'Angelo and Russell brandon ingam cause you

(09:41):
kept being a horrible team.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
At least you've been relevant, at least you've made it
in the posts. At least you won a championship. I
thought that's what it's all about for Lakers.

Speaker 10 (09:49):
So if a man take a week off, rob, come
on now one week?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Wait a minute, so I'm dipping out for a month.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
No, But the problem is he didn't just retid hold
of this eighty two games in the calendar year of
three hundred and sixty five days. You don't take off.
Nobody takes off. This is your season. What do you
mean you're taking a week off?

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Hoo?

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Give me the other guys who have taken a week off.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Who every single player in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, they don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
They don't away from their way, this away from their.

Speaker 10 (10:21):
TA give you that away from there and go nineties
away from their team, not not sitting out away from
the team.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Stop it.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
If Phil Jackson stop making excuses for Lebron.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
No, it's not an excuse, it's a fact.

Speaker 10 (10:36):
If he took a week off, Okay, okay, it isn't optimal,
there is. It's not what you love or desire. But
I'm not gonna be like he let the team down
because they did.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
He took one week off. You don't even believe it, Discoverling,
I don't believe it. You do not walk the wall
they did for them.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
They bent over backwards for Lebron. And you know what
he did.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
What did he rob?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I don't want to say it, but he bet the
But he rob He didn't do right.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
By the couple of games off. No, why taking a
couple of the team. The team is in flox. They
need their captain, and you know what they are saying.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
They also need as his old coach, his old friend,
as you mentioned, even mentioned he's gassed.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
I appreciate I'm actually glass and retire. I'm tired. You gas.
It takes some time off, get out of there.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Retire, you old, a forty year old.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Retire if you can't play eighty two games, he's gassed
from what he.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Doesn't play defense?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
What is he gas from? He's gas play default.

Speaker 10 (11:43):
But you just you can't just tell me he's putting
up having a good, solid season.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
You just said that, and.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
He don't play But I mean, you don't play defense.
He played one side of the court. But the man
is forty years old giving you twenty three and shooting and.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Empty. They're empty there, it's empty.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
They're sitting there at the AC right now. Sogain. I'm
not justifying that this is an amazing season. Why would
I do that.

Speaker 10 (12:05):
It's not but the idea that the man took off
one week, a couple of games, and I'm gonna dam
put him in damnation.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Stop.

Speaker 10 (12:13):
It literally doesn't even make sense. And that's one thing
I totally want Laker for. I get it, it hasn't
been great, it hasn't been what you wanted. And you
want championships. You got one, and you want that. I
totally with you. But again, when the end of Kobe,
and I know he was the guy here. So I'm
not comparing it because Kobe play his whole year, his
whole career here.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
But I'm just saying, look, man, it was rough. It
was a rough patch.

Speaker 10 (12:37):
Twenty seven, twenty one, seventeen twenty six games you were winning.
This has been at least where you're at least in
this thing forty seven and thirty five last last year,
Lebron takes a couple of games off. I'm not about
to put him in damnation for that. Come on, stop
it and God forbid. One day you'll be like, yo, man,
I'm going through some things, Yo, Rob g I need
a week off, Rob g am, I taking a week off.

Speaker 7 (13:01):

He let the organization, the franchise down.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Kelvin says, no, I say yes, let him Atonio in Miami.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
You're on the odd couple. Fox Sports Radio. What you got?

Speaker 8 (16:41):
I just broke up with my girl for three years guys,
and I realized around the holidays.

Speaker 12 (16:47):
It's tough.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
It's tough, but I during that time, I realized I
didn't need her, and I think the Lakers need to
realize they never really needed Lebron. I think he needed
to retire at least six years ago. With the rest
of his class. It's been an absolute and utter total
disaster and embarrassment. I'm not a Lakers fan, but if

(17:08):
I was, I'd be looking for heads to be hunted
right now.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Hey, that's why they sprayed over the mural. Remember the
Lebron mural they put up. They were spraying over the mural.
I'm just saying, Kelvin, you know that that happened.

Speaker 10 (17:22):
I literally have dumb found to say that it's not
It has not been ideal for Lebron or the Lakers,
but they literally have made the post.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
He's literally won a championship. I'm blown away with it. Again.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
I can understand the saying now it's tying to retire.
That's a fair point. I can understand if you said that,
But the idea that this is just horror.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
What's been the worst thing?

Speaker 10 (17:41):
Do y'all remember what it was like the last five
six years before this, do they.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
Remember Scott in North Carolina? You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
What's up, Scott?

Speaker 12 (17:52):
What's up my guys?

Speaker 13 (17:53):
How you doing?

Speaker 3 (17:53):
How are y?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yes? Yes, how are you?

Speaker 8 (17:56):
I'm doing?

Speaker 14 (17:57):
Good?

Speaker 6 (17:57):
Man?

Speaker 13 (17:58):
I gotta say, I mean, Lebron seems like a cool person,
but his basketball career, he gotta wrap it up. It's
not about winning anymore. It goes back to the comment
I remember y'all talked about he said he has nothing to.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Prove or anything, right, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 13 (18:13):
That that leads to him taking weeks off in the
season and stuff like that. So if it's not about winning,
why are you here? Just go ahead? Hang it up?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Right?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
If you can't play the eighty two games or be
available or.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
Be with you, just cancel the NBA. Rob nobody plays anymore?

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Be around the team? What's somewhere? Are you a sabbatical?
Where'd you go?

Speaker 5 (18:34):
You can still come to practice, you can still be
with your teammates.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
You don't have to play what you left the team? Really?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
So are there no in no instances where he can
do that?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, when you're at hospitalized, you can lead the team.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Just ridiculous.

Speaker 10 (18:51):
That man gotta walk into the wheelchair and a full
body cast for you to go.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
All right, I guess you.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Need it, all right.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
I guess yeah, I guess you need a week eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox Brand in Riverside, California.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
You're the odd couple of Fox Sports.

You're a hard person. Rob No Lebron, I said. I
told Rob g I said, I want Lebron to go,
not because he can't play and whatever. I just want
him to go. So the Lakers, the fans that I know,
the Laker fans that I know, they don't even watch

(19:38):
the Lakers basketball games anymore. They like, if I'm mentioning
the game, they be like, dude, I ain't even watch
the game. I don't watch it until Lebron literally leads
the Laker organizations and his son. And that's what I'm saying.
That he's put a bad taste. Not only I guess
in a lot of people but just the city of
lof Angeles. I think he just gazed the fans a

(20:01):
bad taste. And I think it's just tough in the goal.
I think he just needs to go. They even they're
not even saying the real injury. They're just like, what's
time away? Like he's just if he's injured, he's injured.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Doing Wait, you know that's that's a fair point. The acknowledgement.

Speaker 10 (20:19):
Hey, let me ask you this real quick before we
get to a string, and I really am asking you this.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Two things I think happened.

Speaker 10 (20:24):
One is it because he came, like you know, I
have like nobody wants to replace Ernie Johnson when he retires,
right because it's like everybody's gonna go You ain't Ernie,
even if you're really good. Is it that even came
right after Kobe Bryant, like it wasn't five, ten, twenty
years later.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Is that a big issue in LA?

Speaker 10 (20:42):
And also my second question here is is LA fans
are slacker fans really willing to say we see what's
working in the league is drafting young players and building
a team where we might not be good for three
or four years, but eventually we mind are Laker fans
really gonna do that, because I've never seen that.

Speaker 8 (21:00):
No.

Speaker 12 (21:00):
I think they just weren't they team back. It's like
the Lakers is on going out spending big money to
bringing a superstar. But I don't even think superstars want
to come to Los Angeles and play along until Lebron
goes off into the sunset and it's just when this
is Kobe Bryant is gonna always have everybody hearts in
Los Angeles. Of course you know that too as a

(21:21):
basketball guy, right, and we all know Lebron is either
the greatest or the second greatest or the third gradest whatever, right,
but he look, he just put a bad taste in
a lot of people mouths in Los Angeles for what
I see, and I'm talking about least twenty fans that
I know, they literally don't watch Lakers basketball. It's I'll

(21:42):
be like, wow, I watched the Lakers basketball just because
I like to watch basketball.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
But you know, but some people thanks for the call,
b We appreciate it. Some people turned off by the
whole thing.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
I can understand it. Listen, I can understand it. I'm
not you know me, I keeps it.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Real because the Lakers are that kind of franchise. I
don't care who comes along or what it's like. The
Yankees and a couple other teams. Like players come and
go and you love them and they're great, but the
franchise is always gonna be bigger than any individual player. Right,
Jeter left. The Yankees didn't fall off the map. Okay,
they They're not gonna fall off the map. Kobe retired.

(22:19):
The Lakers aren't gonna fall off the map.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
It's just not.

Speaker 7 (31:59):
Moles, you got no, you both killed it last week
four and one picking NFL games against the spread.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
That's two for me the last two weeks.

Speaker 7 (32:05):
That's right, that's right down America. If you're smart, you
follow these guys here. Game number one, all these os
courtesy Lamar Mitchell bet MGM. Bengals five point road favorites
in Tennessee against the Titians, Rob Parker.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I'm taking the Bengals. Yeah, let's go baby.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
I'm sorry Bengals who next?

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Game number two? This is a crazy one.

Speaker 7 (32:24):
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens sixteen point road favorites in
New York against the Giants.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Dubo. That's a lot.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I mean, my gosh, six he like Alabama and NC. Yeah,
I'm gonna tex State.

Speaker 10 (32:39):
I'm gonna I'm gonna go Giants because I think that
they score a couple of late ones, just because like ah,
and it's.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Not sixteen ends up being like fourteen or fifteen or so.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Now this will be a blowout. I got the Ravens.
They had to buy last week.

Speaker 5 (32:52):
Uh, coming off the loss before that, they got something
to get you know, geared up for the end of
the season.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I think they blow out the Giant. It's by at
least two touchdowns.

Speaker 7 (33:01):
All right, Rob, quickly, what's the number where you would
take the Giants? Because sixteen is huge, that's huge, like
eighteen nineteen is that we have been.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
So a bit closer than that. But I could see
the Giants losing, uh, you know by twenty one.

Speaker 10 (33:13):
But the probably Ravens they played down to the competition
at times. So I'm wondering, not that they won't win,
but you know, they win by fourteen, but they go win.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Steelers after Eagles.

Speaker 7 (33:22):
Eagles are all five amongst each other, but it's still
five and a half point home favorites.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Rob Parker taking the steal. I mean the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I got the Eagles that they bounce back, they get
it together.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I got the Eagles.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Steelers. It's a tough one though.

Speaker 10 (33:34):
You can convince me the way, but I think the
defense holds well, and uh and AJ Brown gets frustrated again.

Speaker 7 (33:40):
All right, Bills and Lions, Lions doing a half point
on favorites, Kelvin, you know.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
The Lions one again, dude, you know the Lions one again?

Speaker 11 (33:48):
You know, I mean, I got the Bills, believe it.
He just don't exist. And Jared Goff will throw three
picks in this. My gosh, Elaborate ain't throwing you too?

Speaker 2 (33:59):
