Speaker 1 (01:46):
So we can't wait for that.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yep, looking forward to it, all right.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
So we know that if the Chiefs were to win,
that'd be three in a row, four out of the
last six years.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Obviously clearly a dynasty.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
You and I were talking conversation about and they were saying,
and why do they get hated so much? And Tom
Brady even said, man, I don't get why they have
so much hate because I believe they've been doing it
the right way. Here's what TB twelve I had to say.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
I'm broadcasting the game, so I don't really have a
rooting interest per se. The one thing got root for
in these situations are great games. I will say if
the Chiefs win, I will be very happy for them.
I mean, what they've achieved is unmatched, and I think
that's cool because people always hated on us for so
many years and I didn't understand it because all I

(02:33):
did was like, we try to do things the right way.
We try to go out there and compete for our
job and win. And like, there's an excellence that I
appreciate about people who are doing other things are really
high levels because you understand the commitment that it takes
for them to do what they're doing, and like to
be in this country and to not cheer for excellence

(02:56):
is beyond me. Like I think it's it's incredible to
see this team withstand all the adversities they faced over
the course of not just this season or last season
the year before. They just plowed on. Nothing's that distracted them.
They've just continued to push forward and win a lot
of games. And you know it's gonna be a terrific

(03:17):
game because there's a lot on the.

Speaker 7 (03:18):
Line for both teams.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
TB twelve.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
There shocked that Americans don't necessarily like this team.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
First of all, he has revisionist history.

Speaker 8 (03:29):
Tom.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
You don't think he was doing it the right way.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Tom Brady cheated.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Bill Belichick had the He was suspended for four games.
Bill Belichick had the highest fine, highest fine for any
head coach in NFL history.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
They had the flake Gate, they had a spy gate.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Even after that, what was the one in Rob g
and Cincinnati where remember they got busted again recording the
signals of the Cincinnati like that happened after way after
spy Gate.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
It was another situation. You had h.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
Tuck rule, the Tuck rule, that's all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
And even Eric Mangini, who was on his staff going by,
who called him out and say, don't do that to me.
I know what you guys do, like to me that way,
Tom Brady act like nothing was going on, and he
can't understand why people weren't rooting for that.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
So yeah, he he there's two different things.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
I get his point that the shock of like, man,
why don't people like dynasties anymore?

Speaker 4 (04:33):
I can understand his shock with that.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
But to your point, tom Brady acting like they were
just this innocent, lovable team, like maybe you said it
was hard to call him dynasty because they didn't written
like back to back or back to three in a row,
but the Spurs was really much to really not like
about the Spurs for the most part. So I could
see if right I'm saying, because they didn't win it,
but I'm saying I could see if he was referencing them.
I think there's a couple of things. What he was

(04:57):
referring to is greatness loving greatness. You ever noticed how
Michael Phelps loves Usain Bolt, who loves Kobe, who loves Mayweather.
There's a greatness stake. Serena loves all these people because
they literally, and this is the part I agree with,
they understand what it takes to be great, but oh
not great, be just great, be great for a sustained

(05:17):
period of time. So there isn't a natural affinity for them,
like man y'allt understand what he's going through, what she's
going through with that team is going through to be.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Great year at the year, at the year, at the year,
at the year. So they do appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
But I think there's something that's changed to me where
we don't like dynasties. And I was really thinking this
through me and Rob g If you look at like
the two thousand and two thousand and one, two thousand
and two Lakers when they won Shack and Kobe, that's
really like the last time people for the most part,
maybe outside of Boston, but you didn't really overly hate them.
You might I'm tired of them, but you didn't hate

(05:50):
the Lakers, all right, the Lakers are up, They're playing
these different teams, and I think what happened was the
shift in culture where we started to like disrespect greatness
and we like to hate greatness. It was cooler to
have the negative comment on social media than to compliment
a comment. Right, the negative comment is gonna get more reaction,
the negative's gonna get more clout. When you start these

(06:12):
debate shows, I have to find ways to nitpick, right,
So if I'm kobe Lebron kobe Lebron, well, i have
to nitpick and be bashed the other guy in order
to have the conversation. And that's kind of become the
culture now. So when you're having to sustained suggests, we
are tired of it, we're over it, and it's easier
to dislike or hate it, or again to have negative
responses to it. I don't think we're gonna see a

(06:33):
dynasty again, or to Tom's for why don't you love it?

Speaker 4 (06:35):
I just don't see that happen again.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
I think it is human nature, especially now, to be
sick of it, to be fatigued of it, to be
tired of it, to want to nitpick at it, and
it not necessarily as he wants to sit back and
appreciate it. Like I don't know if people hated the
Steelers in the seventies. I know people don't really hate
the nineties Cowboys. Obviously you have if your rival in
your division, that's a little bit different, but universally, nobody
really hated them like that. I don't think we'll be

(07:00):
that era again where you'll be all right, I'm cool
with Dinam whatever, it's cool. I'm not really mad at
the Dynasty. I think it will be oh my god,
I'm over it, ABC anything but the Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I think we'll get more of that moving forward.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, I totally disagree. I just don't see.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I think the dynasty and the idea on why people
push back is because they think they're marred and they
think that they're not organic or real. The Cowboys were
one and fifteen when Jimmy Johnson started and Emma Smith
got their butts kicked, right, and Troy Yeikman got their
butts kicked to the Lions, and they had to build

(07:35):
their way and they built into it.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
They had a great coach, they had great pieces.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
They were all Dallas Cowboys, right, Michael Irvin, all those
guys Troy Yekman wasn't great from day one.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
They built and they won three out of four.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
People respected the Cowboys and what they did during that era.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
The Yankees and Derek Jeter. This one's some free agent team.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Mariano Rivera from their minor leagues, Derek Jeter, Burnt Williams,
Joge Pisada. These are all their players that the Yankees
finally got it right and they won four out of
five World Series right, three in a row, four out
of five. People were like, my god, this is a
great team. It's hard. You're hating Derek Jeter for what reason?

(08:16):
Right during that era, I think that. And and the
Lakers when they had Shaq and Kobe, we saw two guys.
Kobe was there from when he got traded, rookie whatever
they got shacked. They played two great players. They had
their three three in a row run. People were People
were thinking they were gonna beat the Pistons, and of
course they didn't, but they won their three people I.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Didn't hear people ripping on them. The reason that people
have pushedback to me is not that they hate greatness.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
They don't like the idea of what they perceive as
the Patriots if the tuck rule or the cheating they
got suspended.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
They keep doing this up with the with the Chiefs.
It's about the reference rees and some of the stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
When they beat the was it the Bengals and Tom
Brady got pushed out of bounds and then they moved
a fifteen yard past Homes.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Patrick Mahomes and then they got the field goal.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
And you know what I mean, like they keep watching
these kind of things and going, God, do they have
to help them? They're already great. They got a great quarterback,
they got this great coach. So it makes you not
feel good about it because you feel like they're getting
extra help. And that's and that's what they had with
the Patriots. It's like, what is this? You touched Tom Brady?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
My god, you.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Got the callum, You were a beneficiary.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
You saw the games, So do you better not touch
Tom Brady?

Speaker 5 (09:42):
I'll add to I think there's a reason Ry so
like I literally have we know too much?

Speaker 4 (09:48):
We see too much, We discussed too much.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
And what I mean by that is back then, you
saw the game, but you didn't see every Cowboy game,
every Laker game unless it was a national televising. No,
you got red Zone, so you see everything. We have
social media, we have streaming, so I see everything. So
every call Troy, we could have got a call that
you didn't even know about. You didn't know about that
he got a call because it just wasn't published like that.

(10:11):
It wasn't out there like that. Every little every little
quote that Emmitt Smith might have said or something, we
didn't even know about it. But you know, every single
thing is publicized. Everything everything. I don't disagree with with that.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
So I just think we now we're inun dating with
so much it makes you.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it's gambling, though I think they don't argue.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I think people watch games closer. I don't disagree because
they have money on riding on and the NFL wasn't
built on that. Like people gambled. You have to be like,
well see it was seen. Was like you got the
networks promoting it their own own stuff, ESPN Bad or
a Fox bad or whatever, and so it's totally different.

(10:53):
So when you see that call, you know, like you're
not only mad that Patrick Mahomes got to put it
cost you. It just they just cost me money on
this game. I told you about about the uh, the punter.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Running out get the safety like like.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
You just like you cost me money.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
So then they start to be like and you know,
the the Chiefs also don't cover.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
You talked about all vulnerable. They don't cover. So that's
me buried me on our pickums.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
So you know that.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
And and people keep betting the Chiefs thinking this is
the Chiefs from four years ago.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
They're not.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
So No, the betting absolutely plays a role, but I
think you coupled that, and the attention has paid because
of the betting, and attention has paid because every scroll.
So look at it like this, if Patrick Mahomes got
a favorable call, if I go on my timeline, Bleacher Report, Fox, Sports, ESPN,
barstool like and you keep flicking, and that's in your face.

(11:53):
You've never seen it like that before, where you might
have been a call.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
You miss it. You didn't even know you boy told you,
Oh really, I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
You open your phone and literally Sports illustrated the first
twelve things you're gonna see when Luca got traded out
from every single thing for forty swipes.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
But I agree with that. But if if Tom Brady
them didn't cheat, you know what I mean? And Bill
Belichick didn't get suspended, then you still wouldn't have been
I think people would have warmed up. People should have
celebrated the Patriots, and instead they couldn't. People should be
celebrating the chiefs here. And I'm not the only one

(12:30):
ABC a lot of people because they also I not.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
It seem like if you dated the hot star one
of the literally famous women in the world, great, normally
ye shots, wouldn't that be But historically if so and
so was with Madonna, that was huge, even celebrated. But
he's with Taylor Swift and in twenty twenty four, twenty
twenty five, that is Oh I got tired all the

(12:58):
time back in the day with Dennis Robin or not.
And that's my point. If we're inundated now, where it
naturally makes you go, oh my god, I'm tired. If
Madonna was showing up, not if when she's pulling up
at Laker games, but man, holda, now look at it,
and it was just a different era when you have
these power couples in the eighty Tom Cruise.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
And Nicole Kimmen, it was like, why was it? It
was coveted?

Speaker 5 (13:19):
It was like, who show us that because we're inundated
because you could literally watch the game of your TV
and then go on your phone and c Taylor Swift.
She's literally on my phone in my face and in
my eye, want my eyes as I'm watching the TV.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
It's I just think there's too much of it.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
So my last point is when the Cowboys are having issues,
Michael Irvin having off field issues, if that was current day,
we would be it.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Would be the number one.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
But but show first thing first, Michael Irvan is ruining this,
He's hurting his team.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
It would be talking talk talk, talking Martin more so
than just But.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
But I understand your point on the proliferation of the
media and that stuff, but you still have to commit
those things.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
And I think that is the committing them.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
No human But they were not coaches.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Weren't getting suspended coaches just No, I'm talking about being
suspended by the league. And that's where they the brand
of cheater is is real. It ain't imagine because they
got hit for that. They found they burned the tapes
for spy gay Tom Brady destroyed.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
His phone man.

all right? All right.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
So we were having a conversation about this dynasties, and
I just you know, I felt like no one really
is going to appreciate them. Like Tom Brady was saying,
he was shocked that people weren't embracing the uh, the
Patriots when he was playing. He shocked people don't necessarily
embrace the chiefs as well. You say, it's because they're
marked with whether it be clotovambling.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Controversy, all the gates. So you have that as well.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Let's get a phone call on this eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. You want to jump in eight

Warriors just got Jimmy Butler. Yeah right, I just got
the uh Golden State pregame meal.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Did you know since Jimmy Butler's joined?

Speaker 4 (17:18):
No, what is it?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Sodium free breaking decaf coffee and a chest tacks?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Right, that's how old that team is. I'm just saying,
Alex nothing, Alex nothing.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Everything's not funny boy, Oh boy, thanks David eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
He ain't with that b it. I just think, like
I said a million times, No, I just.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Think there's a lot of stuff that is not clean.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
That's what it's not.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's not I'm not.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
Saying clean, like do you know what I'm saying? Okay,
here's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Shaq and Kobe they weren't cheating anybody.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
They would walk let men the float with me for
a minute here, Rob, If Shaq and Kobe were in
this era, right that ended in what two thousand and four,
had they been in this first take first things, First,
social media, man, we might have not they might have
split because of the fracture like that. We already knew
there was fracture within him and now the social media

(18:11):
putting him against I think I think you give social
media a bigger influence. Do you see the players don't respond?
It ain't even me, it's not respond.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
But I'm talking about on the field, like, I don't
believe that. If that's the case, why having the chiefs cracked?
People have criticized them. That's why Tom was praising him.
But I know what it takes for them to stay. No.
But I'm saying, if the if the pressure and the
social media and people saying my homes ain't the same
and this and that, then why hasn't that effects for example?

Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's not I don't I don't think that. I understand
that there's more.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
But you put the Cowboys and the Yankees and those
great teams and those great players.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
You can't tell me that it's not just the social media.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Remember I said also it's the it's the debates show
daily every station having six of them a day. That
didn't happen, but you had to. You had to sports
Riders on a week, don't You don't.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Have to watch that. I don't think that everyone does.
I don't think I don't.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
So you're telling me Shaq and Kobe don't win three
in a row. No, no, no, I was just take was on.
What I'm saying is all of these things? Is social media?
All these things? Player Lebron James is the greatest player
in the last fifteen twenty years.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
And even he.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
You can tell I gotta go zero dark thirty and
he's affected by I can't believe they're saying this, and
I'm not gonna do I'm turned off what it is recently,
I'm jumping off social media.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
And he jumped right back home like two weeks later.
But this stuff mattered.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
How many times have athletes come out I've been bullied
on social media? My mental health hasn't been great because
social media. I'm not making this up. Not this is
literally what but twenty five year old athlete rob you
literally have known nothing but this, So no, no, be
like man that would't affect me.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
But if you know nothing, But if you're a.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Great player, I'm sorry like greatness. If you're a great
player a great team. I get that you're you're getting
consuming your news differently than before.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I understand that.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
But that still doesn't stop here here Who the best
player out there?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I remember?

Speaker 4 (20:01):
The conversation is, I don't think that.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
We have as much power as you like to believe.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Because somebody debates that you're not the best player in
the NBA.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
How many times for ten years are we told about
he still won two championship, so that he criticized him
for going to the Warriors, and he still.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Won, and he could have won another one, but he
left because listen to women.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
What the conversation is, and I'm not saying they would win.
The conversation is the dynasties, And I'm saying I don't
know if we would appreciate and if things might not
happen because of the social media and the dynasties. There's
a there's an appetite for watching destruction, there's an appetite
for cut chasing, and I get more views, more likes.
I'm cooler if a comment that this team is this
or this?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I think if people really believe what they were watching
was worthy of that, they would embrace it. And then
the Patriots and the Patriots in that era, the Patriots
were a perfect example. They just did not feel good.
The chief for a lot of people do not feel good.
That's the problem.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
All right, there, you have it coming up.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
It is the hot seat, sucker Patel over there shaking
in its boats. He's getting ready to join us here
in the hot seat out here in radio row, looking
forward to it. Right now. We got to tell you
what's trending. A whole bunch of training in the NBA.
Manzi Bolanya Manzi.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yes, Fellas.

Speaker 11 (21:17):
This multi team trade that we're been talking about for
like the last hour seems more complicated than open heart surgery.
Let me tell you what I do know what now.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's just it's not everything's finalized.

Speaker 11 (21:31):
Like Kyle Anderson was supposed to go to Toronto, but I
guess Toronto is pulling from the deal. It was supposed
to be a five team trade and it doesn't seem
like that's happening. So right now, Jimmy Butler is headed
to the Golden State Warriors. We do know that In fact,
he signed a new two year, one hundred and twenty
one million dollar extension with the team. Andrew Wiggins, PJ Tucker,
Kyle Anderson are headed to the Miami He along with

(21:52):
the Warriors protected first round pick Dennis Shrewder is going
to the Utah Jazz as part of this deal. Also
Lindy Waters, the third from the Warriors, and Josh Richardson.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Of the Heat They're headed to the Detroit Pistons.

Speaker 11 (22:06):
So this is so far what is brewing, but things
are still evolving with this big deal, so there's so
many moving parts to it. Lonzo Ball and the Chicago
Bulls have agreed to a two year, twenty million dollar
contract extension. Earlier today, the Kings acquired big man Yonas Yonas.
Here's what we call Yonas here Jonas Valenciunas from Washington.

(22:28):
The Pelicans traded center Daniel Tice to the Oklahoma City
Thunder and the Milwaukee Bucks traded Chris Middleton to the
Washington Wizards. The Bucks just snapped their four game losing streak.
They topped the Hornets one eleven, one twelve to one
oh two was the final score. Right now, the Cavaliers
are still on top of the Pistons one ten to
one oh two with a minute to go, and it's
a tie game between the Spurs and the Ox.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
They're tied at one twenty five. Ers coaches challenge happening.

Speaker 11 (22:53):
There's two point four seconds left in the game, and
again they're tied at one twenty five. Aaron Fox twenty
four points thirteen assists the Whiz on top of the
nets ninety eight to seventy six. Early in the fourth quarter.
The Grizzlies are crushing the Raptors one o eight to
ninety also early in the fourth. Early in the third,
the Timberwolves with the sixty nine to sixty six lead
over the Bulls, and with four minutes to go in

(23:14):
the first quarter, the Jazz are beating the Warriors twenty
two to twelve, with the Nuggets on top of the
Pelicans laid in the first quarter thirty two to twenty six.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
In men's college hoops.

Speaker 11 (23:23):
Number two Duke Number two Duke did beat Syracuse eighty
three to fifty four. Number fifteen Missouri lost to Number
four Tennessee eighty five to eighty one, and right now

Damn hot time to sit your butt down in.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Cooking the hot seat.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Now, what g that's sound that we hear right at
the beginning of that? Is that a chicken being put
in a pot of oil?

Speaker 8 (24:49):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
My dad?

Speaker 4 (24:54):
No, that's fucking record, like a fat kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
It's sound like a chicken being put like in.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
You chicken for you have churches, you have wings?

Speaker 1 (25:03):
What more thing?

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Hey, rob gee, we go to the Emerald. He ordered chicken.
I'm nothing tables all right.

Speaker 12 (25:11):
All right, it is the hot seat here on the
couple of Fox Sports Singma, we invite one of our
Fox Sports teammates to get into the square circle.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Against the tag team champions of the world.

Speaker 12 (25:20):
Know how we Rob Parker kelvin Washington, tonight's victim.

Speaker 8 (25:26):
Victim.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
We rarely see him. When we do, it's always special.

Speaker 12 (25:30):
He's there with Elijah putting out the sports takes on
all your favorite digital platforms, none other Fox Sports Radio
digital content producer Sager.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
But tell what's going on?

Speaker 1 (25:41):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Are you over there sweating?

Speaker 8 (25:43):
I'm just I'm nervous. I'm nervous.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Appreciate you being honest. Now it takes I can't even
know I gotta be like.

Speaker 13 (25:50):
Probably disarm you. I'm not going for a right, don't fall.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
For all right, you got rob Gie.

Speaker 12 (26:00):
Sager's got three piping hot takes. He's gonna defend two
to on one against the yacht.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Piping Hot is right. I don't know about takes. Yeah,
we're gonna get right to it.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
We're gonna get right to it, take number one.

Speaker 12 (26:14):
Sager says that when the Raiders hired soon to be
AARP eligible head coach Pete Carroll, they made the right decision.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Soccer. You got thirty seconds state your case.

Speaker 8 (26:26):
All right.

Speaker 13 (26:26):
So everybody in Raider Nation knows we need a culture
and trendsetter, and that is absolutely Pete Carroll. He has
been every stop he's went to, Everybody says good things
about him. They have a winning culture and that's what
the Raiders need. And already he's assembled the greatest i
would say, coaching staff in the last twenty years, with
Patrick Graham and Chip Kelly. And Pete's entering the same

(26:47):
situation in Seattle where he found himself with a pretty
good team no quarterback. So he's eventually gonna find his
quarterback that's gonna lead his team to victories.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
And finally an out of out of the park kind.

Speaker 13 (26:58):
Of us reason for this, we know this kind of
reminds me of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Oh God, I tell you why, oh stah for next time.
For you to look at this as the same as
when he went to Seattle. He didn't have a walker
back then. His office wasn't in the cemetery. Let's just
be honest.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
He gotta have solid he can't even eat solid foods.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Let low coach a football team, stop and soger. He's like,
how old isb He's seventy five, I mean seventy four.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
When the season starts, he's too old.

Speaker 13 (27:33):
He is not enough time, all right, So you go
to the next winter. Oh keep going, all right? Yeah,
so this is about this looks like the Kansas City
Chiefs in twenty thirteen when they hired Andy Reid. When
they hired Andy Reid, it was at the beginning of
January twenty thirteen, and then at the end of February
twenty thirteen they got Alex Smith. So you can find
your quarterback later. He doesn't have to have it right now.

(27:55):
We have a Travis Kelce like player in Brock Powers
and I know you like to make the arp, but
he's the world's oldest teenager.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
He closer to Ala Davis than Mark Davis. All right,
he is. He is too old right now. And here's
the thing about you keep bringing up the quarterback. Let's
say they go find there Alex Smith. You know what's
gonna happen, is gonna take a while to development gets
who ain't gonna be there once he finally gets good enough.
It's not gonna be Pete Carroll. And that's the issue
right now. You're hiring a guy there really is a
tone center. He's gonna set the atmosphere of the chemistry

(28:26):
because he's not gonna be there to coach him. And
so that's the part of the reason why it is
doesn't make sense. Nobody's a matter of fact at this point.
Go get marshaw Lych and have him coaching since he's from.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
The Bay Area.

Speaker 9 (28:37):
Leave it to the odd couple to start the segment
bickering and fighting with each other over Rob's eating habits,
and then tag teaming to fight against Sager. The greatest
you know person we have for social media. I don't
remember who else we have on the team. But but
I'll say this, leave it to Rob Parker to point
out people's ages when they start doing jobs and tell
them they're older.

Speaker 7 (28:55):
Look at his jacket, Alelex, Look what he's wearing. And
I am a big fan of soccer. So his point
goes to saga on this one, good job.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Oh yeah, the fixes.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
It's as far as soccer and the rest.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I know, what is it like?

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Abody? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:12):
What an Eagles? Yeah? Wow?

Speaker 12 (29:15):
All right, here we go take number two on the
hot seat here on the odd couple soccer Battalian gets
the odd couple.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Sager says that even after the Lakers.

Speaker 12 (29:24):
Got Luka Doncic, twenty five year old superstar in the
middle of his prime, the Los Angeles Clippers are still
a more desirable franchise for potential players than the Lakers.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
You got thirty second soccer tells why.

Speaker 13 (29:38):
All right, everybody knows less pressure play for the Clippers
right off the bat.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
You don't have to. There's no pressure. If you win
a championship, great, we're not.

Speaker 13 (29:46):
We don't have any of that pressure of seventeen sixteen,
whatever championships you guys have.

Speaker 8 (29:49):
And you know, the owner spends a lot of money,
and you know what.

Speaker 13 (29:53):
He's not a racist as far as we know, and
no mistresses as far as we know. So also, we
all did Arena two and fans won't drive you out
of town.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I just threw up in my mouth. Come on side,
crush your bust pipes. Life is about pressure. You want
to be the best you can be. The only thing
good about the Clippers is that there's plenty of parking
spots because nobody's going to the games.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
And you know, you don't.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Have to worry about anything or worrying about getting confetti
in your hair because you'll never win a championship and
they'll never have.

Speaker 13 (30:27):
That, all right, and you know, just yo, I mean,
look like, if you play for the Clippers, you're gonna
play the new arena and fans will not drive you
out of town. Every time a new player comes on
the Lakers, they don't reach the expectations. Oh trade, I'm
trade them immediately, get them out of town. Oh this
guy's a bum Clipper fans. We kept Paul George for
such a long time and he left on his own,

(30:51):
his own accord. And so that's why it's better to
play for the Clipper.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
Figuring out Clipper I don't care if it's Barber Clippers.
Don't nobody care about the Clippers except you. First of all,
let's start there. Also, you brought up the new Arena,
why as well wouldn't nobody go there? They might as
well sell it again. It's always empty. You can go
in there and get a ticket for a dollar to
go visit that place. Let me also tell you they
should have stayed in Crypto, you know why, because they
at least be affiliated with winners.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
They would be next to the Lakers, they would be
next to the Kings.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
At least who win had hacks, Hacks trophies, Stanley Cups
and Larry O'Brien's in this thing. The Clippers are exactly
they should have never left, because now they are.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Absolutely in obscurity.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Nobody thinks about them.

Speaker 9 (31:32):
Oh Sager kind of love. Somebody trying to defend a
team doesn't want anything. So I just want to listen
to and then just watching Rob Parker like almost throw
up because I thought maybe it was just one too
much of the sub or the hot Wings, whatever it was.
Try to say this though, I really do agree with them.
I don't care about Clippers either, so I don't cut
my hair. Nobody wants to watch the games. Bre was
even hitting here, and she's like, that is true. We

(31:53):
were just there, and that is true.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
They aren't. Nobody's there, nobody likes them. So I'm going
on cup on this.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Do we do what we do?

Speaker 1 (32:00):
All right?

Speaker 12 (32:01):
Last take the hottest take of the night, hottest take
of the week for that matter. That's including one about
Eli Manning being a better Zuper Bowl player in.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
The Patrick barrow.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
I'll take them ten out of ten.

Speaker 12 (32:10):
Sager says that if you're going to a wing spot,
you're going to the wingman right there across the way
with bounty. The only way to order buffalo wings is
all drums. Sager, you got thirty seconds, stay your case.

Speaker 8 (32:26):
I don't even need thirty seconds for this.

Speaker 13 (32:28):
Look all drums, easy to eat wings are already bessy
in the first place.

Speaker 8 (32:32):
I don't want to have to work for you.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
You gotta have the bones, you gotta have the structure.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
The bones and structure are already there.

Speaker 13 (32:39):
And you know what, you already get more meat than
you do on a flat. So to order all flats,
I just think it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Flats are juicy, easy to manage.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
The drummies are dry.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
They're not nearly as juicy as you can get with
the flats. It's a different flavor. It is the best.
And the reason that they always push back on people
ordering all flats is because people order all flats, they
don't order all drummis. So the run out of rum
flats because everybody wants flats, You're the only one who

(33:19):
likes the drummisbody wants drummers.

Speaker 13 (33:24):
Look, it's easy, like the easy to eat aspect of
drum drummies are the best because you could walk and
you can eat drum sticks at your ease.

Speaker 8 (33:33):
With it's like almost a mission to eat.

Speaker 13 (33:34):
With flats, you have to like break them down, then
you have to like then you have to struggle to
dip them, and they have to like swipe it clean.

Speaker 8 (33:41):
It's everything so difficult about it. I just want to
eat and I don't want to have to deal with flats.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
What are you a three year old?

Speaker 5 (33:47):
The ease in which I hate my dramat said, it's
perfect for me and it's handheld.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
What are you one of my daughters?

Speaker 4 (33:53):
Going on?

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Crack that bug open and get to the wing okay.
And also the flats have to say. And the thing
when you're talking about the drum is often either undercook
or overcook. Like Rob said, it's either ay, any cook
beause it's too much meaning they get cooked right or
they mess it up and it's too dry and you're
chewing it for seventeen minutes. Man, flats are where it's at.
And by the way, Rob, next time, don't get us

(34:15):
kicked out of the restaurant for.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Or that's right what I tell you. I was. We
were ready to kicked out in the restaurant for that.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
I ain't gonna lie, she robbed. Almost he almost had
the lady spin in our food?

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Who man, she did?

Speaker 9 (34:28):
I think it's I think it's funny. Leave it to
Rob Parker to be like the food critic and the
savants of wanting the super amount of wings all flats ladies,
Like dude, I just work here on do my best for.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Here, Alex. I ain't gonna lie. I got a little
got a little ti so awkward. Hold on, tell me,
let me tell you Alex. All right, so hi, uh
the wings sound great?

Speaker 5 (34:48):
Ooh?

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Worlt the wings? Can I make them all flats?

Speaker 9 (34:51):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (34:51):
I'm sorry, baby, you know I talk out here.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Can't do that because it's just the last time I
did that, I got in trouble with the manager.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
I just we can't do that. So wait a minute.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
You mean a customer can't get what they want? No, no,
I just feel like that's wrong. The customers should get
what they want. And she was, it's just that we
don't the last time. And I'm gonna need a minute.
He was legit man, and my liar looking at it.
Get that burger, like Eli said, it was so funny, y'all.

(35:24):
I was serious. I wanted one out off for sure.
Absolutely sure my burger had spitted it.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Did someone food get spitting? Yes or no?

Speaker 1 (35:32):
No?

Speaker 9 (35:33):
What?

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Probably my.

Speaker 9 (35:39):
Only one type of cheese, not the three Chadar mixed. Okay,
I want. Unfortunately, I didn't help my case here because
it sounds like you need Songer to make sure Ron
can get the wings he wants, because he's so pristine
with his all flats and what he wants, and so Songer, man,
I was actually very nervous for you to come on
the set with the two guys on a big stage
like this. I didn't know if you'd be able to

(36:00):
punch and hold up your way. But songer, you have
definaly told me that you don't have to yell and
scream to make a point.

Speaker 7 (36:05):
You went, So.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
I call it. I call it charity.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
Alex out here giving out charity in these streets ye
have to.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
All right, good job soccer, good job. You ain't got
a sweat no more. You're coming to Emeralds? Are he
coming to Emeralds? Is that why you're over there? And
did your hair up? Charlie? Yeah? Yeah, Alex? You saw
on the man what do you put the headphone mess up?

Speaker 1 (36:31):
It was like, can I wear a hatchet?

Speaker 7 (36:32):
I went through No, No, I looked over. I was like,
it's brusard on the stage. You want to put the
heads off?

Speaker 1 (36:38):
I mean, I mean I like I like him.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
I don't love Emeralds. I like it, though. I got
a bonu pick with Chris. He just pull the curtain
back real quick.

Speaker 12 (36:48):
He texted him or I texted him during the show,
my hey, are we still on for breakfast from That's.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
Us on Red?

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Wow?

Speaker 12 (36:55):
Now I will see because apparently he's got other things
going on. But you don't take long to look at
your want to be like thing.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
You know, I'll stall them out.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Maybe if he's trying to get because they're coming here
the last two days.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
Maybe he's packing. I believe it already here.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
Oh no, never, I tried, never mind, no excuse I tried.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
We'll be downstairs for breakfast at nine thirty.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
We'll show.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Awkward because we're eating at the hotel.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
Hey, I'm telling y'all now, we haven't had breakfast together since. Yeah,
and it's especially because y'all got me out here us
looking like we about to go to Vegas. I'm gonna
I'm wearing some sweats and a white teeth. There we
got breakfast. Yeah, we're not. I ain't getting cute for ya.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
But the problem is you got to go straight from
there to hear. Remember we got to do that.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
How long we about to eat?

Speaker 4 (37:43):
How long take you to eat breakfast? Forty five minutes?

Speaker 1 (37:45):

Now I go back to the room and change. Got cute.
That's a good point. Yeah, all right, I'm looking forward
to I haven't had breakfast here I've had.

Speaker 7 (37:55):
I'm on your side too, because I'll pull the current
back a little bit.

Speaker 9 (37:57):
More, Kate not hit me up, and he was asking
about some ready needed for a TV gig, and I
was like, yo, where's Rob G. Where's where's Rob Parker?
He's like, I don't know, man, they don't hit me up.
I'm like, you're just sitting.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Out by yourself.

Speaker 7 (38:08):
Where are the guys?

Speaker 12 (38:09):
Well, I also left them at a party yesterday and
here stop.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 5 (38:15):
Guess what happened again, Alex just we're all when we
all were supposed to go to cheesecake stock, we all
got there on time, ready to run. Rob's already there
with the two drinks in his tame double fisting. Let
me tell you what happened last night? Me, Rob G,
Sager and and Rob. Of course, we go over to
the media party having a good time, and Rob's like, yo, man,
I'm ready to go, and then I'm all right, cool,

(38:36):
let's go just rest and get out here. I was like, man,
where's Rob G? And I said, let me text him? Hey,
I sent him the picture we took our little team picture.
I sent the figure. I said, hey, man, we'll getting
ready to leave. Where you're at? Where you at? Oh,
I'm at the roof. I'm at the bar at the
hotel with big Mic, with big Mire, having drinks already. Man,
I thought we'd come together leave again. I thought it

(38:57):
was Gang Gang.

Speaker 7 (38:59):
It's not here.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
I'm too loyal, Alex. That's my problem. I've learned that
I'm too loyal.

Speaker 12 (39:03):
I feel like what we did was fine because me
and Sager went together.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
So we mean, we all walked.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
It was all of us once a little bit. All
you gotta say is, hey, yo, were about to dip. Yeah,
and we say cool, we're either staying or see. I
didn't even know where you were at that point. I
was somewhere with a phone in my hand.
