forget coming up with shar Phillips in about twenty eight
minutes of course college basketball NBA analysts and the owner
of Prestige Management Group. So while that and much more
coming up on your Friday, looking forward to it. No
doubt somebody had a big game. I think last night,
(01:24):
Rob Jik Kidder explain that's right.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Now, there's two sides to this coin, specifically on the
odd couple.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
All right, if you are a guy like.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Kelvin Washington, where everything is great, you're gonna say man,
Brownie James played a career high thirty minutes last night.
Scored a career high seventeen points, seven to ten shooting.
He had five assists, three rebounds, and a block as well.
In the process, became the youngest Laker rookie since Magic
Johnson to record seventeen points and five assists while shooting
(01:56):
at least seventy percent from the floor.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
It's incredible performance.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Lot of factors by the fifty fifth pick in the
NBA Draft. But if you're Rob Parker, you can also
point out that Bronnie James only got in the game
because the Lakers basically sat their entire top seven in
the rotation, that they ended up losing that game by
twenty nine points of the Milwaukee Bucks, and that Bronnie
(02:20):
James in thirty minutes of action was not quite a
team worse, but almost a team worse minus thirty six
while he was on the floor for plus minus.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Rob Parker, your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
On the Bronnie James performance and the conversation that come
out of last night.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'm trying to really put my thoughts together because once
again people have overreacted. Who in the world trumpets a
seventeen point performance in a twenty nine point loss where
the game was never really in doubt with all the
injuries and whatnot. Seriously, I mean, really, that's the game.
(03:02):
I remember when he was in Philadelphia and they gave
him some extended minutes and he looked like a fish
out of water.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
You remember that game?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And where was lebron James talking about leave the kid alone?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Where was that tweet about the mean media?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh it was okay that all the talking heads on
TV this morning, we're big up in Bronni. Now, I
thought you wanted everybody to leave malone so that the
kid could develop and just play. Oh, today was good
because it was positive. Oh yeah, did you see my boy?
Did you see the kid? You see what he was
able to do. I told you he could play. There's
(03:44):
a difference all of Bronni's points, all of his stats,
garbage time.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
That wasn't a real game. That was not a real game.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
If he did that in Philadelphia, earlier this year when
they put him in extended minutes, you'd get my attention.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I don't value this at all. I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
There's a difference between games meaningful. That's why it's that
called garbage minutes. Why do we come up with that, Kelvin,
any points are good? You play basketball, right, No, we
know there's garbage time.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
In baseball. We call it the mop up.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Right when the game's out of hand and you put
people in Oh yeah, he had mop up duty.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
He pitched four innings. A mop up That means there
was a mess there. There was nothing there, there was
no game.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I'm sorry people going crazy and and wigging out over Brownie.
I just I didn't see any value in it other
than the kid got to play because there was nobody
else to play, and the game was never in doubt.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Any played. That's it. That's it. That's all I took
from it.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
This is this is where you're opinion. I don't think
you're missing it. It's not that people are like old
Brownie has seventeen he's the greatest player of all time.
What they're seeing is confidence. What they're seeing is development.
What they're seeing is him get to his spots. What
they're seeing is them shooting shots that he didn't want
to shoot in Philadelphia, he didn't want to shoot in
(05:19):
other times. He is starting to develop, and that's all
you can ask for from any rookie young player is development,
and there should not be people reading into it too
much as if all of a sudden he is a
first top, you know, first tier rookie in the league
and he needs to be Rookie of the Year candidate.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
No.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I think people are celebrating him because they've somebody they
literally have seen their entire lives. A lot of these
players come in sixteen, seventeen, you know them eighteen, Okay,
now they're in the league. We literally have seen him
his entire life, and so I think a lot of
people are just celebrating a kid they've seen grow up
and not necessarily saying, oh, look at him, now he's
Rookie of the Year. I think that's overblown and Rob
(06:00):
nobody's saying that. I think what people are saying was, wow,
look at Bronnie out here playing with some confidence. Look
at Bronnie out here getting the spots. Look at Brownie,
ooh nice left hand label. A little body on a
little and one, okay, And that's what I think you saw.
So it's because guess what could happen tomorrow if they
if he played, he could have six points and he goes,
you know, three for twelve, like that's a very much
(06:22):
a possibility. He did not turn the corner. He's not
all of a sudden a top two three rookie in
the in the league right now. But what people saw
and we're making and we're excited about was to grow
seed development, see confidence, and again seeing it from somebody
that they've seen his entire life. And I've always said
this to you about this conversation. I think more people
(06:43):
are either like him or indifferent than they are dislike him. Absolutely,
there are people who dislike him or you know, just
tired of the whole James family what out of doubt,
but I think more people are either just oh, yeah,
all right, Bronnie whatever, or they're like, oh go ahead, Bronnie,
I see you, young man. So I think people were
just happy to see somebody that seems to have been
a good kid, someone who seems to be.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That's not what I'm so tired of hearing that there's
a there's a ton of good kids who can't play.
Stop with that he's a good kid. There's a ton
there's a lot of guys who led their Nobody said
he's your kid, as if that means that you should
be on the basketball team if you're a good kid.
You know how many kids were good kids who got
(07:26):
caught because they couldn't play.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Way. Way is a conversation. Now you're saying he shouldn't
be on the court.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
What are you saying, because yeah, because I don't think
he should be with the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
No, I don't, I really don't.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I think he should be with the South Bay whatever
they are, the South Bay Lakers.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
And I told you I would have loved for him
to just spent the year.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
In the last night with all the points, he was
minus thirty six plus minus. That's not meaningful basketball. When
he played it wasn't doing anything. And here's a hit
that was second worst. Believe it or not, somebody was
even worse than that at minus thirty seven.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
All I'm saying to you is to Rob, make it
if he turned some corner.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
He didn't do anything, Rob, Rob, listen to this starting lineup, Goodwin, Vincent, Hayes, Morris,
connect that might be the worst starting lineup. Well, I
don't know. The Wizards probably put something I was worse,
and Bronny coming off the bench give you thirty minutes.
My point is, did you think he was gonna be
plus thirty six against literally Giannis and the Bucks. No,
(08:24):
So people went into that game literally just won. It
was almost like a G League experience. Let me watch
him hoop and see what he does. Nobody thought they
were gonna win without their best players, multiple players. So
to analyze this as if it was a real game.
And if you're saying he again, I hope nobody saying
he turned the corner, what we're saying is, oh, he
(08:46):
had a good night, because again the next game he
might only have five, six, three points. That's a part
of this process. This is why I and I think
you were with me. I said, I would have loved him,
just say, go down there, continue to thrive in a
G league, your bumps and bruises in the G league.
But you know, Brian and the Lakers didn't want to
do that. So it was a lot of people were
happy to see him have success one night. Nobody's rewriting
(09:09):
history and saying all of a sudden, He's a top
five rookie ever in history. They're saying that was a
fun good night for a for a young kid who
they've seen his whole life.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's where the NBA is a good fun night. I
just we've really lost it. If if that's what we're
looking at now and just meaningless points in some meaningless game,
it's a game.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Is something, right? Come on, you get every single game.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
It's not something?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
So what are the Wizards doing? So what are the
Wizards doing what they do?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Because they playing their bad.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
That's the worst basketball you've seen in your life.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
That just because they're playing and they're not winning, doesn't
mean they're not trying or they don't build.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
You think that organization, you think that organization is trying
and they can't win stop. And that's the and that's
exactly the Lakers were not going to win last.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Ron was not there, was not there, Bronni wouldn't be there.
And you know it.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
You nobody disagree with that. That's all I'm saying that.
But what I'm saying, we're past that. Where were we gonna
hop it the Delora and go back? No, Literally, all.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I'm saying is I'm not going to raw raw or
celebrate a seventeen point game and a blowout is if
you're saying it was bad players and everybody was bad,
that's what he played against bad people. I would much
rather take a look at when they put him in
Philadelphia in a game that mattered, when they had players,
and he got an extended blow out. There we saw
(10:39):
about that season has only been four months, but whatever
it is.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
That's the boy. He literally just got in the league.
The whole reason why people are excited. I think you're
missing this is because it's because they are saying, oh,
let's see if he's been growing, if his confidence and
that's what you want to see in anybody. A pitcher
in baseball, a guard in the NBA, defensive back in
the NFL. Are you growing? Are you developing? Are we
(11:05):
starting to see you get confidence and get your Nobody
no nobody, no, no, no, no, no. Nobody was on his team,
said nobody. Terrible team that was. I'm talking about the Lakers.
Somebody has to score, you know what. It's even with
bad teams.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay, so even the Washington Wizards, they don't score thirty
two points, they'll score one hundred and fifteen and lose
and be terrible.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
You gotta score. It's an NBA game, right, So I'm saying,
got a score. Come on, man, it's not.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Even what we're talking about. The Lakers were a horrible
team and what they put out there. Though Bucks had
everybody said down bad team, people will still go to scoes.
What is my point, somebody's gotta get the garbage points.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Somebody will score. It doesn't dictate or tell you that
he's made a step.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
So that's that's but that's box believe that. But see
that's just looking at a box score. The point is
if you saw the confidence he was hesitating throughout the year,
he wouldn't shoot that shot. He will be like, uh
should a pass?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
So much is confident? Okay?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Yes, he was shooting with confidence. He was getting to
the rack with confidence. He was He's been dunking on
people with confidence. That's what the celebration is. There, you go,
you're getting confident and getting to your spots. And that's
like a pitcher in baseball. You're getting confident throwing your throws.
You're getting confident facing big time hitters at the plate.
You're not squimmish, you're not worrying. You're not. Oh, oh
(12:22):
my gosh, it's Mike Trout. Oh that's Mookie Bets. You're
throwing what you throw. If they hit a home run,
that's fine. But you're comfortable throwing your pitch. And that's
what he's doing. He's comfortable taking his shots getting to
the hole. That's what people were celebrating. It's not he
could have did that and had ten points. But if
he looked confidently doing looked like he was turning a corner,
or not turn your corner, but look literally turning corner,
getting to the hole, people were celebrating that. It's it's
(12:45):
not that they were this was a playoff game or anything.
They put out a terrible roster against the Bucks, who
had everybody except Dame.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. How impressed were
you buy Ronnie James last night? According to Kelvin, he's
ready for All Star or or NBA playoff run or
me who I'm just taking it with a great assault

Yep, that's probably coming to you, by the way.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
And you know, uh, he wasn't that good at UFC.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
So when does it in?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
You know, and people want to celebrate a thirty I've
never seen. I've been covering the league since nineteen eighty seven,
so much made over a bench player with thirty seven
points and a thirty point blow ever and my life
covering this league, I'm dead serious.
Speaker 10 (17:03):
The All Star Game is crap? Is this song? Let's
be friends?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
You know, let's celebrate everybody. Everybody's great.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh my god, let's give Bronnie a statue out in
front of Crypto.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
Now, give him a statue over fame.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And the Lakers are gonna be you know, they're gonna
be set back for years.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
We could have done something with that fifty.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Fifth pick and oh stop it. See you never that's
where you went.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
He didn't know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
We do know there's nobody in the league, name namely
three rookies that are balling. You can't come on now,
see that I was with you if you didn't think
he should have been drafted the Laker and lebron Hell, okay,
but actual, y'all gotta quit acting like the fifty fifth.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Pick to watch him at USC. Did you watch him
at USC?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Off of his performance Kelvin at USC, tell me deserves
to be drafted?
Speaker 6 (17:50):
I said, you didn't see.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
No, he didn't play with your.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Fifth not the fifty fifth pick is a is a
crap shoot. So absolutely somebody.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Could take you get a guaranteed contract or two way
or my league deal.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
And that's what the Lakers shows to do for somebody
they're looking out for. I'm not disagreeing that he is
gaving in a favorable situation because his father. That's indisputable.
I don't even know who can dispute that.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Mike and Augusta.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You're in they couple of Fox Sports where he got
me all worked up on a Friday.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
What's up, fellas? So, Rob Man, I got a problem
with you moving a gold post on this.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Dude.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Man, if he was if he scored seventeen in the
G League, you like he did it in the G League.
He didn't do it against NBA players.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Great point.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
Now he scored seventeen against NBA players, well, they lose
the game.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
They loves the game.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
The point is he's the kids making progress. There's a
play where he absolutely put Janni's the MVP on skates.
Janni's had to grab this kid to keep from being embarrassed.
And I'm just happy that he's making progress. Nobody's saying
he's going to the Hall of Fame, but he's making
progress and he's starting to look like he belongs.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
In the NBA. Okay, when I see them in a
competitive game, on real minutes, in a game that matters,
and he does that, I'll change my mind. Until then, Mike,
as a guy's watched the NBA and covered it and
been there up close all my life, I've never heard
more made about a seventeen point performance. He did just
score forty and they one with nobody he's points.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I ain't moving no goal posts because there's no goal
post in the.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
NBA like people did. Lamar Lamar Jackson. Every time he
does something good and moves the gold post.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
How he's one MVPs. Can you stop it? Lamar has
been crowned. He gets brought to MVPs.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Did he win two MVPs or not? Did he win
two MVP's, Come on, man, stop with that. Get over it, bro.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
I think I'm starting to think your reaction is more
than the people's reaction in a positive favor to him.
Like I don't think people were going to work celebrating
him with a Brownie jersey and ill thinking okay, look
good and that was it. You acting like people are
out with banners with his name on it, like he
just he had a good game for a young man
who's been popping back and forth between the G League.
(19:58):
That's pretty much it, last extent of it.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Casey in Oregon, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
What's up? Casey?
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Hey, Rob, You're absolutely right. Bronnie James should be in
a second year at USC. Yes, we'll be into an
NBA player. How much he is making is also a joke.
You know, there's a D leaguer out there on a
two way contract that's grinding before his family, and just
because of lebron James's dad, you get six or six
(20:27):
to eight million dollars this year. What a joke. You
can't play throw him out and didn't one of the
NBA playoffs He'll be out out so exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I mean, it's ridiculous. Tell you what, Casey, you spot on.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Y'all better tell me some rookies that are balling. Y'all
better tell me some ain't it ain't that y'all keep
back and like it's a bunch of rookies out here
balling this. I don't get that part, because ain't nobody
else calling telling me about you've seen such and such
and such and such.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
No, because because Bronnie has their spot, they're in the
G league balling.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Okay, all right, well he's also in the do you
know that?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Right?

Odd couple Rob Parker kelvin Washington on a funky flashback Friday.
Robbi o'brown, he was gonna get you like that, man,
he said, you like this in a minute. It's seventeen points.
Goodness gracious, all right? So Rob the Schador Sanders getting
drafted conversation. Looks like there may be a chance the
(21:33):
Giants are saying, hey, we gotta get this kid, and
they're hoping that Cam war goes first or second, Travis
Hunter goes first. A second, therefore leaves them getting Shador
and he would fall in their laps. You think this
is an odd fit?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Huh Yeah for the Giants, I'm just saying the type
of quarterbacks Dave Brown, Daniel Jones. I just it just
seems different that they would be interested in Shaduar. That's
just from growing up in New York and the way
the Giants they don't have flashy quarterbacks. I just don't
remember any. Seriously, Phil Simms, Jeff uh Hostedler, you know
(22:16):
what I'm saying, Like Eli Manning, who just you know, pedestrian, I.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Don't hurt one of the most you know.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
He had a bad thumb when he's with the Giants,
Carry Collins. If you just you see what I'm saying,
Like they've never had like a dynamic quarterback. So that's
why this would be different for the Giants. That's the
that's the only part. Not that I don't want them
to draft him if if he if they wanted to,
I'm just saying this would.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yeah, it's certain organizations and especially in uh like college,
you see that more so, like you know, programs only
get certain types of quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Certain if you're not six four they're not doing it.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Uh So this to me, it almost plays into what
Shador was saying. You know a lot of people he
brought the wrong way where he was saying, Hey, look
I kind of come in. I'm a program changer. You know,
we changed Jackson State, we changed Colorado. And it's just
he said, history repeats itself. You know, it's what we do.
We come in, we work hard, and we change programs.
And so maybe this is what they need to mix
(23:19):
it up, to switch it up, to get somebody who
is a little bit more dynamic. He's not a big runner,
he can't super Bowls recently, right, yeah, right, But I'm
saying that it's it's been some years and we just
named a bunch of quarterbacks who they've had recently who
have not worked. So maybe it's a time to switch
it up. And I mean more than anything, more than
even just swag or more than even just confidence, I
(23:40):
think he has the potential to be a really good player.
So they're in a position they need a quarterback. And
if you look dive a little deeper into this, it's
something that we've talked about the general manager and the
owner or well a coach. Let me phrase that coach
and general manager they need to win because or they
at least need to be making a great splash or
something that is progressing the organization forward, because we know
(24:03):
the moves they hadn't made lately, ain't it. You know
Daniel Jones, as you mentioned, keeping him wanting to move now,
he's not even there. Sae Kwon Barkley letting him go,
the biggest star, best player, let him go. We saw
that backfire literally to a rival and won a super Bowl,
and he had an incredible MVP candidate type season. So
they're definitely the position where they either need to win,
(24:24):
which I just don't think they're built that way.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
They just signed Jameis Winston. Why did they do fight
for two years? What was the money?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Forty million?
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So oh eight million, eight million for two years? Oh
so that he could be the backup then? Not that money?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Yeah, he's a I mean he's gonna be perenially a backup.
He has a talent offensively armed wise, Kay, he can't.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You can't win like that. And they teams like like
Jameis Winston even he put up some great what was
that Monday night game where Thursday night game he had
all those top five touchdowns and four picks.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Yes, that what it was.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Remember that he will do that.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
He will come out throw three hundred and eighty four
in the twenty yards four test and win a game
and have an amazing speech and you're like, all right,
you know maybe, and then he'll have the next game
one hundred and twenty yards, three interceptions and a fumble.
You're like, all right, man. But so you have a
veteran QB, veteran backup and Jamis and now you go
get your door and you hope that he's what you
(25:18):
need so that if you're the coach and the general manager,
you can say, all right, we finally got somebody that
the fans are loving, that has star potential. And maybe
he only wins four or five games, but you feel
like who we're heading in the right direction. They can't
just go out there, put anybody out there win four
or five games and keep their jobs. But if they
have a promising four or five games where you're seeing
(25:40):
the progression, you're seeing where the organization could be headed,
you see that he's going to be better, then maybe
just maybe he can save their jobs.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah. I don't know what to expect. I mean, I
just I will be pleasantly surprised. Can I say that
from him not from them?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
If they yeah, yeah, yeah, why I mean I don't
even know if they have another option though, Rob and
you know what I mean, Like Jameis Winston, we all
know he's not your future. We still don't know Aaron
Rodgers at least it kind of looks like he's gonna
go to the Steelers. So if that happens, I mean,
Russell Wilson is still in the in the mix is
(26:20):
But I guess my point is, if you get a
Russell Wilson, the team is not built to win, right
the Steelers, we all knew, okay, they got enough, they
should win some games, and that's why they were able
to get into the postseason. With Russell Wilson. The Giants
aren't that. So then if you bring him in and
you sell them as, oh, we got a super Bowl
you know, winning quarterback. He's gonna be this, he's gonna
(26:40):
be that, and you only win four games, that's for
sure getting you fired. But if you bring in Shador,
he has some flashes, he shows some signs. Oh he's
gonna be He's gonna be somebody, you know what I mean,
in this league for a while. Then you got some
hope like, oh man, it's just a year one with him,
this is just year one. Then they all fired. But
(27:01):
I don't think he's gonna be bad. I'm just saying
that's a possibility for sure, if they.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Have another if they have another terrible day and then
they go like, well maybe you guys don't know what
you're doing with him, maybe he's not ready.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Well that's what I'm saying. Remember, they could have drafted
Jade and Daniels. So some of the stuff that has
messed them up isn't just even the people that they
actually selected. It's still people they didn't select, you know
what I mean. They had a chance. The GM his
son was like, hey, you better get Jayden, and they
didn't get Jayden. They had a chance to get Jayden,
and they had a chance to keep say Quid. I mean,
(27:32):
they made some bowheaded moves and that's why they're in
a position in which they are right now.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, it will be interesting and it would change the
giants to me, to get somebody of that ilk and
just it would it would be a big time as
far as big time bright lights kind of player in
a big city, you know what I mean, like in
a storied franchise.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
In the NFL, the New York Football Giant.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I mean, that would be something to see and if
that could change the way you think of the Giants
and the way you look at it, and maybe it
could save the general manager and the coach.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
But something's got to give.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Here, Yes, I mean, I agree there, something's gotta give.
They gotta start having some type of progression in the
right way.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Have to they really do, because last year really hurt them.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Oh, without a doubt. I mean, and I think, and
I keep bringing it up because I really mean this
them being on the hard knocks and us seeing in
real time the owner like, hey man, I hope Sa
Kwan does not go and sign with the Eagles, and
I hope he doesn't go there and play well because
that will be the last thing we needed. And to
(28:45):
see them in real time, have the GM's son like, yo,
you need to do this. You need to drive Jay
and Dan you needed to you know, you need to
keep this for and like their stuff got exasperated because
it was exposed. It wasn't something we all thought or it
wasn't something we okay, figured this, we saw it in
real time on a TV show, so that made it
even more embarrassing to me. So they all played out
(29:06):
agree in real time, you know what I mean, and
actually see how they're trying and your point you always
bring up to show us. I believe he's gonna fall
off a cliff because of this. This, this, this, this
showed you a charty. He showed a chart and how
wrong he was. You couldn't have been wronger if he
even tried.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Right and and and that's that's one for his you know,
story about his life as a general manager of things
don't get turned around. You know that there'll be that moment,
you know, where he was trying to show you how
smart he was and how he was gonna be ahead
of the curve, and instead he helped the Eagles win
a super Bowl. I mean, they couldn't get any worse,
and your division rival.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Yeah, I mean, everything everything they said I hope doesn't
happen literally happened, you know what I mean. He goes
to the Eagles, he balls out, they win a super Bowl,
and then Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Leaves and somewhere else, right, you don't even know the
guy that you made us think about signing and keep.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
He don't even have him.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
He would say, was that Southwest that has that dilamotte?
Want to get away? Is that south what? That's them
right down? They want to get away? Like they all
the decisions they made backfire and when and all were wrong.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Well they changed their slogan.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Now as you want to get away fifty five dollars
a bag, want to get away.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
I know everything's changing around rob except nineteen sixty five
two Entrees and Fridays. By the way, during the last
commercial break, I told the wife, Hey, by the way,
I said, hey, we might be going to Friday. She
said Friday. You know that's not the place that go.
She said Friday. I said, hold on, hear me out.
Nineteen sixty five two entrees. They got chicken tenders for
(30:38):
the girls. You can get a season salad to with
a chicken did and she's like, well, put that salmon
in the freezer if we're gonna do that. We got some.
We got some salmon in the free refrigerator right now
we're gonna make right. So yeah, we made together.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
African students don't eat salmon. Just saying here, you go,
what do we eat?
Speaker 4 (30:53):

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Oh so now Rob, Alex hit me with the racist
So all we eat is chicken? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (31:00):

gonna go.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Yeah it didn't that. Oh yeah, take that all right.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
At least he didn't say hog, moss and chitlins.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
I would have actually been impressed if you'd just said,
I'm all right, Rob G I knew you were a black.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Never had chid, have you?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
No?

Speaker 11 (31:32):

Speaker 5 (31:33):
The smell is so so bad.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
It's actually insane that you can eat it, I know.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
But you have to really clean it out is terrible.
That's to sit for like two days.
Speaker 11 (31:42):

Speaker 6 (31:43):
Though?
Speaker 11 (31:43):
If something doesn't smell go, I can't.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Yeah, I've never had them.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Well, then you better not go to any black grammar
house who's still doing chitlings because they have to.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
But I never ate them.
Speaker 6 (31:53):

bet look when I put them, when I put a
little this in it, when I put the hot suff

to eat it, years and years and years ago. Absolutely
terrible grains are good mac and cheese. Uh, you know,
(32:14):
a little turkey leg and the greens all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We need to do like a whole cultural swap like
it does. Everybody eat a little bit of everybody's thing
one day. That'd be that'd be very very good. Once
we get off.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
To my defense of how I eat. You can never
find fruit that smells bad. You can't find all vegetables.
You can eat them right off the tree, just.
