Speaker 3 (01:19):
So we got no shot, okay. It is about to
be the revenge on us exactly anything.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yes, you know what I mean, like, well, we'll fix
their wagon, because they used to say we'll fix your wagon.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Can I bring up a super random thing? I don't know.
I don't know because that means that I'm just nervous
to know because sometimes it goes back trouble. Yeah, just
days when I'm gonna look that out, like cause if
there's a saying there, just get me a look like
now you don't want to know, dub right, I'll fix
your wagon, that's okay. I don't know what I mean.
Maybe they literally mean like I current day would be,
I'll fix your tire, like because that was the motor

(01:54):
of transportation wagons back then. Maybe I'll fixture, I'll fix
your motor in the car. I don't know, but dude,
I do know real quick. You know what I annoys me?
And watching h We got the Spurs game up here,
Spurs grizzly and Becky ham U is uh sitting there
front road talking with Tony Parker.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
And I hate that everybody has to do to talk.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Put their hands in front of your mouth talk thing now,
like I can't have a conversation with you because everybody's
reading our mouth and his cameras everywhere, Like it's so
annoying that we've gotten this place, Like you can't sit
and have a normal conversation with the person at the
game Tony Parker and Brickerham. I'm like, that's just I
don't know that bothers me now, Like I can't just
type of conversation anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I got to cover my mouth to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Y'all. Would just have to know what I'm saying, because
I ain't doing all that. I hear you.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
If I'm talking about you, you don't have to just deal
with it.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It says I'll fix your wagon is a slang phrase
that means you will retaliate against someone, essentially getting revenge
or causing them harm for something they did wrong.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
But what is the wagon? What's the correlation? I don't
that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
What it's been an urban dictionary.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
No, that was the I A I A AI overview.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Oh yes, just a I ain't figured it out yet, Okay,
box still be tripping.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
All right, here we go our number three NBA. Let's
go there. Lebron James was talking about the Cavaliers. Yeah,
and in that conversation about the Cavaliers, a team he
won a championship with was drafted by Ben There got

(03:21):
two stops there in Cleveland. He's from Akron, Ohio, right
up the road, the whole nine yards. That's his hometown,
right Aquinn. Okay, it's like Ann Arbor in Detroit. You
know what I mean, You're not really in Detroit, but
you would claim it, wouldn't you.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, this of course for sut same thing.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
You're from Acis. He would say, I'm from Cleveland. He
was with the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.
Uh you know the brothers there who are also from
Cleveland too. So that was the their podcast dropped out
of number one. I think they're going for some heavy hitters.
That's I mean, actually that was a lot of people
are saying, how did they get him before? They nicknamed
another few podcasts that you would have thought would have

(03:59):
got him first. Than everybody's like, it's the Cleveland thing
because he went on with the Ohio native hat on
Lebron did so. But yeah, so some people were taking
back that he weed obviously because he plays with the
Lakers right now. You know what I would say to him,
stay off the we Okay, you had to do that
right there. That that was good and that's your man too,
so he'll be happy that you did even that he

(04:20):
loved that.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, you know, we do USC Enburgh that so we
always have to teach that journalism and the students, I
get it.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
They go to USC.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
So when they're doing highlights or talking about the football
team and having a conversation or debate, sometimes they say,
we we need to play better defense in the second half.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
We need to do this or do that. So you
gotta trade him that it's that day.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Right or USC or the tro So our saying is
stay off the we.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yes, that's kind of funny. Uh but Lebron is we and.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
This we we all all the way out of town. Yeah,
he's waiting this. I mean, I think you Oh I'm
sorry any more. We we got one more week. What's
what you saying? And isn't that French? Oh you are correct, Yeah,
it's correct. Look at you, Renaissance, Renaiss. I've been all
over the world, all seven continents. I know what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
The fact that you were an Anarica.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah about all seven off seven take a cruiser. Officially
maybe the fourth black person to ever be on Antarctica. Unbelievable,
and of them, and two of.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Them probably wasn't there by choice.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I was trying to see the penguins. I was trying
to see what was going on and know the Earth's
not flat all.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
The way down there. I'm telling you, you.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Haven't been on a cruise yet with Mary. Mary doesn't
know your cruise, your cruise.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
I've never even been on a cruise, the Golden Girls crewise.
Do you think I want to be on a cruise
of the other people.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
No, it was good. I know it was good for
you to know what. It was good breaking Pelvics because
and you didn't know what Mary.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
You don't have to worry about getting anybody pregnant on
the Golden Girls cruise.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Nothing like that.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
And the other thing too, is they can't get to
the line, the head of the line faster than you
when they go to the buffs.

Speaker 7 (06:08):
So crazy.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh stop like a grandma base just stopped. They didn't
even have to bring up Hey, would you like a
senior discounted? The whole cruise was discounted. It was just everybody.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
Chicket would be crazy though, right, You're only feel like
five dollars unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
All right, go ahead, and you really went on the
Golden Groups cruise. Ger.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
That's the best part about it is like sounds like
a joke somebody.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
It was awesome, a great time.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
Did they serve all soft foods? Since you guys.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know what Mary he say, Boy, the party was wow.
We went to bed at nine after bingo. The apple
sauce was pumping. They gave us extra cinnamon.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yo.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
I'm telling you, yo, yo yo, make sure you go
to that one. Why because she's giving out the best
banana pudding.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
You know you oh gonna lie no that I'm there, dude.
The jampitings fired.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
All right, man, let me go. I'm gonna beat your air.
Let me put on my diaper. I met a hottie,
you know. We had a wild night.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Her teeth and then and then I woke up in
the morning that was hair all over the bed or whatever.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I was like, man, that must have crazy. It must
have been a crazy night. Then I realized you had alopecia.
So it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
I thought something was shredding up her wig.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Man, DJ ain't played nothing past nineteen sixty eight. It
was it wasn't nothing. The Motown playing. Matter of fact
that I sayd DJ, I know it was a band. Hey,
we had a rock rock up we were talking about, Lebron.

(07:51):
I know this is much better there we was, Yo.
They had somebody who would shine up the Shopbody was
shining up your cane throughout the day. Hurricane hurricane they
only had a kiddie pool because we can't hand them.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Just turned around to come back, because you're like, what
happened to the show?

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Go ahead, let's get it.

Speaker 8 (08:14):
I don't even want to talk about, like storm hurt
so bad. They did, would show a picture of their
grandkids though. Ship this is little Timmy.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Is you guys all right? All right?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Lebron said, was out here?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Can we hear it? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, I played Lebron, so I can give my composer the.

Speaker 9 (08:38):
Calves look amazing right now as well. They got another opportunity. Yeah,
I hope they. I hope they keep it going. They
got an opportunity to do something special. So you know,
I'm glad I was able to put off first set
to set the trend and hopefully we keep it going.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Lebron about two years from being on that Golden Girls
troop trip too. That's how Odi is two more years?
Lebron is on dude, do do do they thank you
for being a calve? All right?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
What one thing is he's always interjecting himself like this
is about the Calves, right, you gotta admit that, like
oh I started. No, no, this is just a different team.
It ain't like you just left last year and now
you know you're not a person. But he's not part
of this. This what's going on now.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
And the whole point is this is a rebuild.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Without you exactly. And number two, I don't hello. Yes,
you're hearing Rob Parker defend Lebron. I understand why he
would say we. He's from acro that's his hometown. The
Calves were his team, like it and he he was
drafted by them, he played there twice. I can understand

(09:50):
saying we, even though he's with the Lakers now because
he was a part of their fa.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
When he closes, when he closed his eyes and he
thinks of like him as a basketball player, he still
sees himself as a Calve. I don't think he sees
himself as as a member of the Heat. Obviously, he's
been the Lakers now for quite some time. That's the
funny part of.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
It, it's gonna be longing in with the Calve a
long time when he retires or whatever. If they were
to put him on with something or put up a
statue would be in Cleveland's.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Five one hundred and nobody. Everybody knows that, even though
he won two with Miami's one month, it's gonna be
the Calves without a doubt. And so that's why I
don't get mad at the weed he brought them, and
by them, I mean the city of Cleveland their first
pro championship in like fifty years. So he absolutely feels connected.
He still has family home. That's why I remember when

(10:39):
the Lakers went to play the Calves, it was a
big deal for Brownie because they still have so much. Obviously,
their family, you know, the family is still back in Ohio.
So you get caught up in a moment obviously he
says we, Like, I mean, that doesn't bother me. Of
all the things that we can make fun of Lebron
about or you know, nitpick about, this one didn't overly
bother me with him saying we in a podcast, you
know what I mean? Like, it's just a pot cast

(11:00):
chill with a bunch of other or two other Ohio
natives and the Kelsey brothers, so that that to me
will be a big time reach if you have issue.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, I can't even find fault in it. It makes
total sense for that to come out or slip. I
just said, like just to interject himself in that. I
remember when the when the Dodgers won the World Series, right,
and then he wanted a parade with them, you remember,
and the Dodgers and the Rams.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Were like, oh uh right remember that.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
It was like, yeah, I'm actually shocked.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I haven't tried to remedy that, but obviously the world
was literally it was just different the moment. The moment
was passed.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Like if you if you don't celebrate it at that point,
you can't come back two years later.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
I'm actually shot.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Later people didn't do it, not that the Lakers would
have organized it, I just because remember people were they
were at that point almost had to stir like house crazy,
like I just want to get out of care, I
want to do something. So I'm shot Laker fans and
oh let's just go.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
It just didn't happen, and it was one of those
things that's sure you want to celebrate. I've covered them,
you know, down Broadway in New York. It's unbelievable with
the ticker tape and the paper flying everywhere and two
million people on the street. It's a it's a it's
a real like once in a lifetime kind of things
to take in.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
So it's pretty amazing. Oh right, eight last game for me.
I didn't because I haven't done the whole parade thing,
but that was Kobe's last game for me where it
was just it was just utter mayhem. It was just crazy.
It was to be there, like you said, outside the
fanfare and all that. That was that for me.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Is it the
Cavaliers When you think of Lebron his career is over?
I mean in Miami with the Big Three, he won
two championships, win four straight finals. So is it Miami
you think of Lebron? Is it Cleveland?

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Or championship with the Lakers, scoring title with the Lakers,
you know? Or is it the Lakers right not to
mention his greatest teammate of all time with the Lakers, Bronnie.

Speaker 1 (13:03):

Lebron who was on the podcast New Heights with the
Kelsey Brothers. He got a little caught up in nostalgia
and started talking we like he was French when he
referred to the Calves Robin, I believe it or not agree,
That not big deal when you consider where he's from,

(14:14):
who we played for, and when that city means one.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
I just can't. You can't make up to me. You're
making up something. But we could be wrong. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. We've got a couple of
calls about this. We could be wrong.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
We'll say you who about Dennis in Aquin, Ohio? A
couple of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
What's up? Dennis?

Speaker 10 (14:31):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Proud? It's been a while, it has How are you
my man?

Speaker 10 (14:35):
Happy new oh, Happy New Year to you and Calvin.
I must say, even though you replaced Chris, you two
haven't missed a beat.

Speaker 11 (14:43):
Great. Wow.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
I appreciate you man, No matter what you say. Right now, Dennis,
I'll rock with you now. That's nice, all right?

Speaker 10 (14:49):
But I followed the Fearless Leader's career since he was
at Saint Vincent Saint Mary. He led us to five
NBA finals, though we only won one, but canta understand
the first one he drove four statues with him against.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
San Antonio did that is true.

Speaker 10 (15:05):
In twenty fifteen with our Kyrie and our k Love,
he took him up two games to one against Colden
State before Golden State came back, and then, of course
in twenty sixteen, the greatest comeback in NBA history.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Thank you, Kyrie. Okay, well sorry, yeah, yeah, the.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
One time you're being okay with le Bron Okay, just
hold on. You almost making it more minute.

Speaker 10 (15:28):
In the final two. Well, hey, I can't have everything,
but with Donovan Mitchell and the boys, now we got
a chance when you gotta change.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, they got a really good team.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Dennis, hope you enjoyed it because Donovan Mitchell's playing great
coaching and.

Speaker 10 (15:43):
We need I think we need one more player.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Okay, well how many you ain't lost the five games?

Speaker 11 (15:50):
I know.

Speaker 10 (15:50):
Appreciate it, I know, but I think Donovan I definitely
need to get one more player to match up with
Donovan Mitchell.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
All Right, we appreciate you, Dennis Man, thank you for
the compliment.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Andre Dre and Michigan. You're on Massachusetts on the dight.
It moved Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dray, how you doing.

Speaker 11 (16:08):
Yeah, I'm steering clear of of Michigan this time of
the year and under the wind and the ice coming
off of the.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
They're the great.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
I'm sorry. Did he move from Massachusetts?

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Massachusetts the same? It ain't warm in Massachusetts? Yeah, not warming.

Speaker 11 (16:22):
The all time go to Michigan is you know the
protest that they put those banners up for the FAB
five and recognize them, you know, and give it, give
them their respect. But back to the question at hand. Listen,
this is Lebron m oh I don't know. I don't
think he sees himself, you know, inching towards Cleveland, maybe
to go there to retire at the very end of
his career. But I don't he's not gonna jump on
a team that's already got it, going to kind of

(16:44):
chase the championship with them. To kind of put this out.
He loves to play this player empowerment game. Last year,
what are they doing is in Madison Square guards put
the Knicks cow over his shoulder when he's doing the interview.
He knows what he's doing, what the publicity and the
interest is going to be, and how we can overall
increase his leverage. And he just people tune into these

(17:05):
things and it gives his brand a higher Q rating
or whatever. So I think that that's what he's getting at.
You know, he's well aware he's playing for the Lakers,
that that's his team, that that's where he has built
himself up. So I just think it's again Lebron the
whole player, empowerment psychology. Put it out there, you know
what I mean, get it in people's mind, maybe this,
that and the third. But he wants to be in

(17:26):
Los Angeles to play with Bronni and then further to
play with Bryce. Thanks taking the call.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
I actually do agree, and that what would agree is
that Lebron is extraordinarily calculated. I mean he you know,
doing this because I'm gonna say this' oh man, I
just love I'm gonna say, oh man, Steph Curry, Well,
I would dream to play with him, and like you know,
he knows what he's doing when he does stuff like that.
In this case, this is one of those I think.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I just don't think that it wasn't like it was
just a we that you could understand if he had
never played there, if he wasn't from Aquin, you know
what I mean, then you could say, what who stints there?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
And each one and involved him going to the finals.
Obviously a bunch the second one in one one, but yeah,
I'm not fine with that.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Andrew in Bakersfield, California, You're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (18:18):
And I have been to Bakersfield?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Do you know that? Did I say that? I've been
to Bakersfield?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
One of my buddies from grad school was an anchor
for one of the TV stations up there. And I
was driving, you know, to California.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
And this run of you now living here? This is
years ago? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (18:35):
Yeah, did it was gone?

Speaker 3 (18:37):
It was?

Speaker 1 (18:38):
You know what was bad was they tried to charge
me for the damage done to my Renter car because
of the tumbleweeds hitting the car.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, stupid.

Speaker 12 (18:52):
Lebron. I see as Laker first and gold Lakers first. Really, yeah,
he's in purple and gold and that's how I see him.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Why the why?

Speaker 13 (19:05):
Why?

Speaker 1 (19:05):
But the statue is gonna be out in front of
the Cleveland Stadium Rena.

Speaker 12 (19:11):
Well, maybe n he just shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Get a Laker statue. No, I.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
What I will say, thank you for the call they
statue he gets though, you know, it's got to have
a basketball in one hand and a suitcase in the other.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
I just want you to know, like that has to
be a part. You're about to have him doing that
little gift where he's always we walked out the press
conference with his little suit short. So remember that when
he had on the suit and the handbag and a
handbag and got out. That was he got a little
It was a little he got beat up for that.
That was sassy. It was a little sassy. Ain'tywhay around it.
I think Monty's handbag was smaller than that. I'm just saying, yeah,

(19:47):
speaking of we can go to trading. We got a
hot seat. Was this be her first time? Yes, Mary
mac on the hot seat. Shay is going to host
it and Monty will be the judge.

Speaker 13 (20:01):
Well, right now, the New York Knicks and the seventy
six ers going at it. It's been back and forth.

Speaker 14 (20:06):
New York up one O nine one seven.

Speaker 7 (20:09):
They did.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
They just cost me a city.

Speaker 7 (20:13):
They did.

Speaker 13 (20:14):
In the third quarter, the seventy six Ers outscored the
next thirty eight to twenty five, which is when they
got back in it. Crazy Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxi
have been exchanging buckets back and forth Brunson has thirty points.
Tyrese Maxey has twenty nine, six rebound, six assists, and
we're coming down to the final ten seconds of this one.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
Whow as you guys.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Can hear, they stole the ball.

Speaker 14 (20:37):
I think they stole the bird stole the ball.

Speaker 13 (20:39):
Philly has the ball now, they've called the time out
seven seconds to go and they're down again by two
against the Knicks. Also, Carl Anthony Towns was not playing
and this game arrived wearing an Eagle sweater to this game.

Speaker 14 (20:52):
Yaw, the Eagles. They're in Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
But right, he's from New Jersey.

Speaker 14 (20:58):
I think he's from New Jersey.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
A lot of Jersey people are Eagles fans.

Speaker 7 (21:02):
So I don't know what happened. But in the second.

Speaker 14 (21:04):
Half he is no longer wearing because the Eagles sweat.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
But they probably, yeah, gave him greed.

Speaker 14 (21:09):
Probably he's back in he's.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
In New York.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
You got, Yeah, that's the Giants art rival don't want people,
you know what on your team.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
You know what I mean, you gotta be killing You
would have respected him and.

Speaker 14 (21:24):
He shout up in an Eagles sweater. So but yeah,
something who knows, because I did. I was a listening
to booze something right, but he's out of it.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
One time I actually would have loved for him a
man and be like, I this is Hawaiian. I've been
rocking with this dad going to games as a pro athlete,
you shouldn't be wearing I'm serious, like, especially if it's
not the city. You gotta play politics. Remember the lebron Yankee.
The lebron Yankee had.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
Lebron has worn every.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Changed, but they were playing the Troy and they were
in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
And he also were mad.

Speaker 13 (22:00):
Indians hat when they were in the World Series. Like
he's changed his hat the way he changes under.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
That's why having Drake being beefed is weird. Can they
both do this?

Speaker 14 (22:08):
Oh we can talk about that off here my theory
on that.

Speaker 13 (22:10):
Okay, The Rafts are beating the Celtics ninety four eighty
four early in the fourth quarter, Bulls are losing to
the Hawks seventy to fifty nine. Halfway through the third
with the Bucks on top of the magic sixty nine
forty seven. The Mavericks are losing to the Pelicans seventy
seven sixty nine halfway through the third.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
Did they get that shot in?

Speaker 4 (22:29):
They did it was it was up on the floor.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
No, it was on it was Uh, it was offensive.
He hit it off the glass.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
He hit it off the glass. I see it.

Speaker 13 (22:39):
It was goldending, defensive goaltending because Maxie went in, Oh, good.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Eye rack it was on the glass.

Speaker 7 (22:48):
Yeah, good eye.

Speaker 13 (22:49):
I didn't even notice that the Rockets are beating the
Nuggets twenty three eighteen late in the first quarter, and
the Hornets have the early lead against the Jazz, also
twenty to nineteen. In college hoops, guys, number two Iowa
State has now won twelve in a row. They outscore
number nine Kansas seventy four to fifty seven. Right now,
Penn State making a game against number twelve Michigan State.
Michigan State is up seventy eight seventy three, three and

(23:10):
a half minutes to go at number six Tennessee beating
number twenty three Georgia forty three to thirty with about
thirteen minutes to go.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Seat.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
Thank you to you, of course.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Great.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Now I get back to your chipotele, I.

Speaker 13 (23:20):
Will what do I gotta judge judge you?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
I know I'm gonna be judged that particular role. You're
done with this show. That's all I'm saying, that's all
we're coming. He live from the tireg dot com studio though,
by the way, actually gotta read read on this one.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
It's time now for the hot seat.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Welcome into the hot seat. My name is producer Shay.
I'm filling in for big, big, legendary Rob Gara. Shout
out to Rob. He couldn't be here, but I am here,
and Mary Mack is also here. Will be sitting on
the hot seat where so many have before, Okay, and
try to take down the legendary odd couple with Rob
Parker and in Washington. Good look, good luck to you.

(24:14):
So Mary Mack her first one. NBA should allow players
to fight, like in hockey. Mary take it away.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
All right, So I think that the NBA should include fighting.
I think because now what they get fined and they
get all it's like, oh they shouldn't be fighting. They
shouldn't be this and that. But like, I think it's
it's fun, and you know the ratings are going down.
Why not have them duke it out and then you know,
whoever wins or whoever loses, they can sit it off,
just like how in the NFL or in the NHL

(24:43):
they have them sit like five minutes.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
So yeah, I think they should fight.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Mary, What world are we living in? Come on, now,
that was antiquated. They don't even fight in hockey anymore.
That used to be a thing until he got tired
tide of seeing people all hockey players with no blood
all over the place. And you know they ain't letting
brothers get down like that or you kidding, it ain't happening, Mary,
You're living in a different world. They don't fight in hockey.

(25:10):
They won't be fighting in the NBA. Ding nig Sorry
that was my male Okay, I was gonna say Mary,
so you Mary, rebuttal.

Speaker 6 (25:20):
I'm just saying I just feel like, I don't know,
like the last time people fight. I mean, think about it,
like if you're sitting there and you're watching it, Like
people don't even want to watch the NBA anywhere. It's
like really lame. Now it's falling off. So why would
you not want to watch people just fight it out? Like,
I mean, fight happen all the time. You got Draymond
Green just fighting all the time, Like just why why why.

Speaker 7 (25:40):
Do technicals just let them fight it out? Just even
a minute?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
One minute? That will be great.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
Ratings will go up, the world will have peace.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
All right, Mary, you've been listening to too much crime.
Ob knuck if you buck, Okay, I don't know what
you think is going on here. Rob brought up a point.
I was gonna say, they ain't gonna let a bunch
of brothers fight. You already know one punch happens now
that guy's a thug. Those guys are thugs out there.
What's going on? So if they got a bunch of
brothers fighting regularly, that ain't happening. Secondly, hockey has gear
and pads and all of that. You ain't punching Steph

(26:06):
Curry in the face now he's walking around a broken cheekbone.
NBA is about celeb stardom, and we can't be having
Steph Curry missing teeth not at all. Ain't hatting it cappin.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Oh mind, I forgot you to judge. I'm over here
looking at Shaye.

Speaker 7 (26:20):
I am to judge here.

Speaker 13 (26:21):
I mean, Mary, I don't know what you're thinking on
this one, girl, because of yeah, it's not the same.

Speaker 14 (26:27):
You're trying to compare apples and oranges here.

Speaker 13 (26:29):
But I am with Kelvin the tire like they're wearing
different gear for a reason.

Speaker 14 (26:35):
So I'm sorry, Mary, you definitely don't win this one.
It goes to the odd couple for sure.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yes, back in business.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
It is now one odd couple zero. Mary Mack could
see if Mary can come back with this next one
with her second hot take. Are you guys ready for
this one? We're ready to say we go Shay, will
you be in? Jay and milk is a horrible combination,
Mary Mack, take it away.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
We're not caveman. That's disgusting. Peanut butter is already thick
when you eat it. It's disgusting because then you're gonna
wash it down with milk. That's the most disgusting thing ever.
That's like, that's just it's too much, it's too much
for your palate. Wash it down with water like a
normal person, or if you want to be a kid
have apples or something, but to do with milk.

Speaker 7 (27:16):
That's that's you're doing too much. You're doing too much,
So time up.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Okay, Mary Mac, what planet are you from?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Milk goes with peanut butter and jelly.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's a natural washed down Milk does a body good
like peanut butter and jelly. When you're a kid, they
want your bones to grow. Kids eat peanut butter and jelly,
so they need milk to help their bones grow. And
it's the perfect thing to wash down. Nobody wants water
with jelly water, No, I need milk. It's perfect. And

(27:51):
apple juice is too sweet. It deadens the taste of
the jelly and.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
The peanut butter. Look at that timing.

Speaker 7 (28:00):
I think you're wrong.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
Actually I know you're wrong, because again, you can always
dilute apple juice with water one and then two. On
top of that, again, like I'm saying, like, okay, you
can do like grilled cheese and milk.

Speaker 7 (28:11):
Okay, that makes sense because it's too but dude, like
milk is so bland.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
On top of that, I'm pretty sure not even supposed
to drink milk because it's too much like calories and
stuff like that. For you, and it's really bad for you.
So I'm again like I'm saying, that's disgusting.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Grow up.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
It's not the great depression anymore, that's great depression of food.
I think you're just because you're so used to eating
alpoyo loco. That's why you think it's a great comba.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
We got personal, it got personal. Looks now, watch this.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I don't even drink milk, never have hate it, and
I must say, Peeb and J milk, I'm actually not
mad at that I might not do it. I don't
can necessarily think you have to like Rob does. But
I'm not mad at because you know what else, This
is how I am just because I don't like it.
I can see why people get down with it. I
don't drink milk, but dagg it, dipping an oreo and
milk it looks amazing. Eat a peanut butter and jelly

(28:59):
with milk would see to be amazing to me as well.
And first of all, I don't even care as long
as reading Peb and Jay's I'm happy and you said
kids eat rib out. You're looking on your teammate right now,
because adults eat when I eat one to night I
had one and about twenty five one yesterday.

Speaker 14 (29:12):
P B and J is the greatest thing ever.

Speaker 13 (29:14):
I mean that seriously, honestly, no matter what PB and J,
if you toast up the bread a little bit, even
more so, nobody ever should be using milk to follow anything.
Milk to drink, to quench your thirst, to add to
the flavor is a lie. Now you brought up a cookie, yeah,
can you do oat milk?

Speaker 3 (29:34):
You know, just milk and pie with milk, milk milk.
But it should be, but I just don't.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
I don't even eat it with cereal. I don't drink
milk at all.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
That's why. And you're five for four drink.

Speaker 14 (29:51):
That was the biggest bamboozle. Meant that with all of that,
Mary is right, no more just for P B and J, just.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
At all, just no shtand drink again, uncrustable with some milky,
make your own.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
Okay, all the short people don't drink milk. I don't
drink Yeah, I just noticed that right now. We are athletes.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Set it down with this short all right. I enjoyed
my five ten and a half. Dang it. I was
four eleven in high school.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Let me live all I'm gonna say, the first time
I met Kelvin Is I wanted to pick him up.
I'm just saying, all right, we got a game to play.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Number three, come here like I was a little baby.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Number three of Mary Max's hot take, which might be
one of the hottest takes I've heard or had to see,
Samuel L. Jackson is the best black actor of all time.
Mary Mack convinced the guy this one.

Speaker 6 (30:55):
I just feel like, you know what one movie really
solidified it, and it was Coach Carter. He says, Look,
Denzel could never do Coach Carter. Mike Omar Epps could
never do Coach Carter. I could name so many even
Martin Lawds could never do Coach Carter. Coach Cutter is
so fundamental.

Speaker 7 (31:12):
And then on top of that, nobody does cussing like
Samuel L.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Jackson.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
Samuel L. Jackson is actually so gooded.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
That, like he could really remake a lot of these
movies and it would be so good. And on top
of that, he was in Eves by You, he was
in The Incredibles, and what one thing you can never say, honey.

Speaker 7 (31:27):
Where is my super suit? So yeah, he is solidified.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Have you heard of Denzel Washington, how about Morgan Freeman.
I could go Will Smith, I could go on and
on and on, and the one name I wouldn't get
to not on the top as all time. And that's
not to disrespect them, but come on, Mary Mac Samuel L. Jackson,
he is not the greatest black male act of all time.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
No, no, but I'm gonna let you have the floor.
You have the four Kelvin No, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
You know what?

Speaker 6 (32:00):
Look, first off, Samuel L. Jackson, the dude was in
freaking Star Wars. Everybody freaking loves Star Wars. See comes
nodding his head. Why, because I'm saying, dude, he is
so solidified.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
Like again, it's Samuel L. Freaking Jackson.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Like, what the heck is this quantity or quality? If
it's quantity, Sure, he's been in four hundred and ninety
five movies. You know why the man can't say no,
you want to be in a Yes, you want to
start in, Yes, want to do this? Yes, that's all
he does. Denzel Washington, don't ever disrespect my last name,
my uncle Denzel. All right, that's number one. Also Lawrence Fitzburn,
Sydney Portier. And you said he can never do, Coach Carter,

(32:37):
Denzel won uped him. He didn't remember the Titans take
that Mary mac ding ding Ding.

Speaker 7 (32:43):
That was so lame though, first off, they could never
even be in do the right thing?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
But whatever, all right after the bell.

Speaker 13 (32:48):
So Mary, Mary, I don't even know how Denzel Washington,
he and his awards would like to have a ward
with him.

Speaker 14 (32:58):
But the worst part is you did and bring up
pulp fiction.

Speaker 13 (33:04):
Coach Carter, right, the easiest role for anyone to play.

Speaker 14 (33:11):
I would have been like, Okay, Mary, you lose this one.
I can't.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
I can't know.

Speaker 13 (33:17):
Denzel Washington has several words with you about Samuel L.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Jackson's gonna stop sleeping on Laurence Fishburne, Lawrence.

Speaker 14 (33:24):
Fishburn I'll give you that, Will Smith, I'll give you out.

Speaker 7 (33:27):
No, you know what Will Will Smith over Samuel L.
Jacks Yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yes, that might have to make No.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Mary, that might have to make my Instagram. This is
a good one.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
I just got a text from Samuel L. Jackson. He said,
Snake's on the plane. You forgot that one.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I'm sorry. I don't want no mother loving snakes on
my mother love and plane. Yeah, Coach Carter.

Speaker 7 (33:53):
Fiction, that's problem number.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
One slash she is like nineteen, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
That concludes the Hot Seat with Mary Mack and there,

Speaker 3 (36:02):
You've been listening to the show. I'm gonna give a
real quick check. Are you happy?

Speaker 11 (36:07):
Am I happy?

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:07):
You've been listening to the show for a long time.
I mean and now we got you know, Kelvin thought
was a four month spot.

Speaker 15 (36:13):
No, I love Kelvin. I see. The thing I like
about Kelvin is you know Chris, you know, I see
I could I could say Calvin. You know, I don't
say that, I say Kelvin, but Chris Brussard. You know,
you know, I like the younger aspect that Kelvin brings
to the show. You know, you're you're kind of more
for the people, you know, me and Mary mc and
Shae you know, the young people.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Of the of the general retired. What did I say that?
I mean, I'm hurt. Now say if I hung out
with you one night, they'll be like, yo, he's got
all the ris. I'm just telling you, all right, go
ahead and we appreciate that. No, thank you, No, I
think you should keep going ahead.

Speaker 15 (36:51):
I'm not discounting you in any way. I mean, you're
the best cheap skating that way.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
So there you go yesterday, and I'll gladly take that.
You an that's but by the way, I gotta get you
some from this earth cafe. Yeah, okay, all right, got
what you got.

Speaker 15 (37:08):
So for me, I want to talk about the Steelers
here because I think that there's a couple of.

Speaker 12 (37:11):
Things going on with this.

Speaker 15 (37:12):
And I think the Steelers first half of the season
was pretty easy in terms of their schedule, and if
we go back to August, they had a very hard
schedule in that second half, and everyone was like, oh,
the Steelers have the hardest second half schedule in a while.
So I think they kind of got put down to
earth by their schedule and that was first of it.
Second of all, who's the problem. I think that there's
a few things to blame here. I think Russell Wilson,

(37:34):
he definitely has a little bit to blame because he's
throwing like intersections in the end zone, you know, taking
these sacks that he was taking in Seattle, where it
was like the same kind of thing. Just bad decision
making towards the end there. But I feel like something
that maybe not a lot of people are talking about
is Mike Williams. This is a guy that they kind
of traded for and I feel like his production could

(37:54):
be a lot higher considering what he did with the Chargers.
And I want to say one more thing and I'll
let you guys go Mike talk. When he brought up
a really good point he was like, you know, you
don't have to find your quarterback in the first round.
You know, he kind of hinted that maybe they want
to draft a guy in the second or third round
and keep Russell Wilson, and you know, he said, you
don't need a first round quarterback. Come on, and I
mean it works. Look at Russell Wilson third round pick.

(38:15):
Look at a brock Purty seventh round pick. So all right,
I don't want to think Caumlin can be too much
to blame. I mean, obviously the head coach is going
to take a little bit of that blame because you know,
you're the head coach. But I think it's a you know,
this is a pretty equally split blame. Pie Robin Kelvin,
all right.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Let me tell you, let me tell you, Emmit out
there at Olympia Washington, you must have the show, the
amit whoever else show?

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Because I could see he's locked in. Thank you, Emmit.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Appreciate you man, of course, brother, all right, appreciate it.
You over there working on No no.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
What I'm saying that at the just just getting ready
for getting ready.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
For the close of the show.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Okay, all right, make sure you say this, Yes, I
will say you got that. Yeah, Okay, that's all tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, is a trash is a TV team So on Thursday, Yo,
I actually got this hooty Wait till you see that hoodie.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
I'm gonna wear it tomorrow. Okay, is it like the
one you made? Like you made it?

Speaker 1 (39:04):
It is a one of a kind tavy themeed or
something to TV theme song hoodie. And it's not going
to girls.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
No, it's not like it's it's when you see it,
you'll love it. So all right, I'm gonna need a picture.
I want to be I won't be here tomorrow. It'll
be nice. We'll make sure. Now.

Speaker 4 (39:24):

know that, trust me. All right.
