Speaker 4 (02:43):
This is green not green ham though, okay, real quick,
and you tell me if I'm crazy with sugar or
whatever you want to say. But I'm catching these deals.
And when I see a deal, I'm gonna I'm gonna

picture and you guys can describe.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
What we got here.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
We got here, we got it?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, we're ready. Well we go.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Dollar twelve for a salad mixed. Rob. That's impressive. That's impressive.
Am I right? You can see the brown in the lettuce? No,
you cannot see brown? Would you stop? Shaye? What where's
the brown?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
A dollar up a little bit?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That's what?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Hey, Shay, that's my hand holding a package. That's the
only brown.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Brown. Let me see. Let me see what.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You can't see it on your phone. It's on your phone.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I can see. Oh shoot, I don't see that. You
let me see.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Let me see col would you stop? Let's see, Rob,
I'll say this. This is actually mineral based lettuce too.
It's butterleaf and red leaf, good jots on iceberg. That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
You know he's gonna cherry pick and only get the iceberg.
We know that for sure. And here's the other thing too.
The expiration date on the lettuce July twentieth. No, and
that's a couple of where do you see that July twentieth.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's at the top. You can't see it, but it's
July twenty convenient. Can't see it? No, but it is.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
If I'm to tell you about the ham the look
under the reduced I saw seven seventeen, and I thought
that would look under the reduced.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I see it because I feel like he would have
taken a picture of that just to prove the point. Yeah,
we go back there, we'll be I'll be FACETI No, no,
it was a twenty but my point.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Nothing wrong with this, right. The lettuce is good? But okay,
but Rob, this is the issue. We're not necessarily mad
at the lettuce blend. Okay, you were eating meats in
mayonnaise and cheat the chicken salad that was reduced and
flown across the country, and hams that were green. And
I come back in the studio, what do you say, Oh,
(04:44):
my stomach hurts?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Did you did you not? I said my stomach. I
didn't say it heard. I just said my stomach.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I was just ring mister semantics.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
All right.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Now, Hey, it's a funky flashbreak Friday. Let's welcome in
the odd couple crew. Who I know ever get Mark.
I'm just saying, Alex is our engineer. Shaye is our
producer for rob gez.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Working on it something about the valley. You're from the valley.
Let's find it something for the valley.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Steve the Sagres, he'll keep us updated. And of course
Elijah is our social media guru and uh he will
keep us.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Going live all over social media. Thank you, Bill. Uh.
We already know the TJ.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Watt contract, right, which was a big one for the Steelers,
and then Kelvin today just thoughts about Michaeh Parsons and
the Cowboys, and we know what Jerry Jones, can you.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Just the conversation is a Yard Barker story, which is
really which makes sense because it makes they didn't break
anything in the sense that everybody's had to hear. We
go again, so the thought process is here we go
where TJ. Watt getting that? And you and I have
agreed we're gonna call it eight million dollar deal, the
one hundred and eight, not what they said. The guaranteed
(06:12):
portion of it four years, one hundred and eight forty
one mill a year for TJ. Watt, who obviously we
know is amazing. Buddy is also older, a halfull of
years older than Michael Parsons. So your logic goes to, well,
Michael Parson has been just about as good, just about
his prolific a lot younger, and he's playing in Dallas,
so that payday gots to be crazy. And they're in
(06:33):
lies of conversation, Rob, that the cowboys done did it again?
The cowboys? This is the issue. The definition Rob of
insanity is what doing the same thing over and over
and expecting a different outcome. And really that's exactly what
the Cowboys keep doing. They keep doing the same thing,
playing around and free agency. You ever had a leak
(06:56):
something going on in your house, man, little we gotta
check on this leak. We got to look at this leak.
And they say it's going to be about three hundred dollars.
You're like, let me just we'll wait. We'll wait, all right,
you might not want to wait. Circle get worse, and
you get worse, and they got to come back in
that three hundred dollars goes to three thousand dollars. That's
what the Dallas Cowboys keep doing. You know, you've identified
your stars, Dak Prescott, Cde Lamb and Michael Parsons pay
(07:21):
the men their money, and what they keep doing is
waiting around, trying to find a better deal, trying to finago.
Maybe they'll get a hometown discount, and they end up
getting screwed over to the tune of sixty million. They
got to pick Dak Prescott, they had to pay more
money for.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
CI have to do that over again. They wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
One hundred percent. And it's not that he's a horrible quarterback.
It's just he's not worth sixty. But when you keep
waiting and you have no more leverage, or you see
the other guy get the bag, and that's what happened
with cdee Lamb. You see other receivers get their money.
Then you're forced to pay ced Lamb a bunch of money.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That the mark could not be not you know what
I mean exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You want to be early, all right, here's I'm making
it up. Here's thirty two mil. And then now somebody
else has to go higher than you. You want to
set it, But no, they keep waiting, And I just
don't understand for them to be such a big organization
understanding money, trying to do something different, because again, definition
is saying They're doing the same thing over and you
keep doing this, you keep stubbing your toe, wasting money
(08:17):
when you know you've identified the guys you have to
keep because Jerry Jones ultimately pays these guys. So I
genuinely don't understand it. I don't get it. But it
also is the reason why they've been to perpetually a
good team at best a mid team more than likely
over the last thirty years because of moves like this.
And the common denominator is what rob Jerry Jones, What
(08:38):
you're gonna do? Get rid of the owner? He owned it.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, that's why this is not a shocker at all.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
This is Jerry and he has there's a reason that
thirty two years have gone by they haven't even been
to the forget about going to the super Bowl, but
even playing in a conference championship. I mean that is
when you really think about the way the NFL set up.
And all he ever does is wait, wait, wait, and
(09:07):
it costs them and I just cannot understand it or
figure it out. But again, it's Jerry, and he's done
this over and over and over again, and you know,
if you're not gonna do it, and I mean pay them,
then you should trade them. And it was a little
talk at one point, right the Cowboys had more holes
than the golf course, so maybe they were better off
(09:29):
and thinking like we could get a couple of pieces,
you know what I mean, and get this thing righted,
so that give ourselves a chance. Obviously, you don't want
to give up a player like Michael Parsons, but you
got to give to get sometimes. And if you're not
going to pay them, as soon as you can pay
somebody and you identify them as somebody who would get
that kind of a deal.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You should just do it early.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Early is always better because even if it's a mistake,
it's lower than waiting.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
It's a lower price than waiting.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
And you seen enough even though the defense has been
awful starting with that playoff game last year against Green Bay,
right terrible and they were terrible to start the to
start the season, the defense, But ultimately you're crazy, I think.
I just think my question is are they waiting? Are
(10:21):
they debating? Do they really want to sign Michael Parsons?
You know he's into the podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I still believe that the best move would be to
trade him. He seems to be in the other stuff.
The defense hasn't been that great. You could get a
haul for him. There are plenty of teams that would
take him. If I'm the Cowboys, I think I might
entertain that, and I would, I would, I would move on.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They're not going anywhere for him. He's the problem is
or he loves them. You and I have sat up
here and talked about how he cutting himself short. Remember,
oh man, I told my agent on his podcast, I
don't even care if we got to lose money. Let's
just get the deal done. I want to stay here
what you hired me for. If you're gonna do all that,
He's up off the podcast and let the agent agent.
(11:06):
And so he's already said that. I think he's in
love with him. They're in love with him. And here's
the crazy part. I mean, as much as he's been
in the lexicon for US sports folks now talking about him,
dude is only twenty five years old, which is absolutely insane,
how young he is, how prolific he is. He's twenty
six years old now now he's twenty six. But even
last year Rob he was injured, nicked up, banged up,
(11:29):
only plays thirteen games, dude comes back and gives you
twelve sacks. That's how good he is too, forced fumbles,
thirty solo tackles.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I mean the number of the team the defense wasn't good.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Sure, you can't let go of a twenty six year
old guy that good. Jerry Jones would never allow himself
to do that because if Avid Marcus, but you.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Didn't win, you didn't win with them. So what that means,
you're gonna go back.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
To two seasons ago when they had a chance, they
had a great record. They're at thirteen and three. They're
gonna look at that and say, when we're fully held healthy,
Dak is healthy, Mic is healthy.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Healthy and doing anything in the playoff. But my point is,
don't talk to me like talk to me like I'm Jerry.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
No.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I'm just saying like, unless you really could could store
up a couple other positions, like this team isn't close,
and now you're you're what You're in a division with
the Eagles, right, yep uh, And the NFC is not
a pushover. There's a lot of good teams whatnot. Everybody
except the Lions might probably not get crazy. I know
(12:28):
you can't have what you say, but you get My
point is they have other issues.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Would you agree with that?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
And and I know there has some injuries, and you
want to believe in Dak and all that they got
to fix that defense if they really want to have
a shot, And I get it, And I get to
Michael Parkson.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I know how much talent he has. I don't know.
It just seems like he's preoccupied with other stuff as well.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
But he still comes to play. And he's too young.
And you know, I'm annoyed with the podcast, remember getting
him beef for players and Marcus Lawrence when he left
talking about other people's salary. He's done a bunch of
goofy stuff that I don't like with these podcasts. But
now you're looking at a situation, just to go back
to the top of the conversation, where we know TJ
got forty one million annually. Now you're looking at a
(13:13):
situation where, again, because they've waited so long, they might
cost themselves where he might make forty five annually. And
you can say what's on sillion, but four million is
huge because that four million can go to another defensive
defensive back you could have signed. That four million can
go get your running backs. You have to revisit Ezekiel
Elliott type situations where you got to spend a block
on the old Ezekiel Elliott. I mean they're saying that
(13:35):
he could get up to anywhere near two hundred million
because of the Micah I mean TJ. Watt deal and
the Miles Garrett deal. You let those two guys get
in front, and they're older than him, so now his
agent can really say, look at those guys, He's about
the same talent as them and they're older than him.
Pay the man some crazy money. So once again, Jerry
(13:55):
Jones is fucking himself to me in a deficit and
put himself behind the eight ball, or he's lost money
that he could have used to as your point is,
fill these holes and build up a better team.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
All right, It is the couple.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And guess what, aching knees, stiff, back joints not cooperating.
That's why some days your body just feels like no
way know how. And on those days, luckily there's a
leave with just one pill. A leave provides up to
twelve hours of pain relief so that you can keep moving.
Use as directed. We want to hear from you. Eight
(14:27):
seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine,
six sixty three, sixty nine and Michael Parters is the Cowboys?
Where are you are they?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Just?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Why are they procrastinating? Did they see something that maybe
made them pause and hesitate? You know, because otherwise after
his first couple of seasons, you would have thought that
he would have been locked up forever. And for whatever reason,
they're taking their time, or or the Cowboys with Sugarnough
and just crazy and doing the same old stuff. And
(15:00):
this is Jerry and there's nothing new here in Cowboyland?
Where are you on this? Should they have signed them already?
And should they sign them? And should he make more
than TJ?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Watt?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Where are you? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox?
Speaker 4 (15:13):

Speaker 1 (16:13):
We are the odd couple, Rob Parker Kelvina Washington on
a fucky Flashback Friday. Again, that's DJ Alex on the
ones and twos providing the sound there. All right, Rob,
we gotta talk about the WNBA All Star Weekend and
All Star Game. We talked about Kaitlyn Clark not gonna
participate in the game because of injuries.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
And what did I tell you yesterday? They should cancel
the WNBA All Star Weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yes, well, no, you're wrong about that. But even though
they don't do that, you are right there. Listen. The
tickets have plummeted now they say they're down. They had
to drop the price of dag near fifty percent, around
forty something percent, because, of course, folks, the remaining tickets
that are available, people are like, I ain't going to that,
you know, because she's out. And now they're dropped down
(17:01):
about forty eight percent. So you're looking at what was
about one hundred and twenty one dollars on average now
down to sixty four bucks.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Plus you get a bag of reduced lettuce with the tickets.
I'm just saying, hey.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You better not say that, Rob, you might mess around
and go to the game. Now.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They were attached to the back of the bag of
my salad.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That's what it was. Parent tickets.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Alex. You know this right now.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
If you go out to your car, Alex, there were
two WNBA All Star Game tickets attached to your winshield.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
You're so nice for that. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You know what this does, though, and it's no news,
I mean in the sense that we've talked about this,
you and I a million times. But it just shows
how huge she is to a sport. And I don't
know if there's any other person that's been like Lebron
is probably you know, the engine of the NBA, maybe
Patrick Mahomes, the NFL probably either Judge or show Hey,
MLB so on and so forth. But if show Hey
(17:54):
didn't play an MLB All Star game, you know what,
ticket prices weren't gonna drop eight percent?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Rob nothing right, same thing. If Judge wasn't there, just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
There, it wouldn't dropp Lebron James remember said no, I'm
not playing the night before or whatever. Guess what tickets
would have still been priced what they were. If Steph
Currin said I'm not playing this year, that is a ridiculous.
If she ever needed a gauge a metric, that's insane.
One star is out and they drop almost fifty percent
of the.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
If I'm the w NBA, she's not releasing that news,
and we're not knowing that she's not gonna play until
everybody's arrived. In any of that, I'm just telling you
you are not gonna know, and and you'll find out
when you get to it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
She's starting a game.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
She's a game time decision.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
She's not gonna play in a three point shot, right,
so we could do that, but she's a game because
she's there, she's supposed to be go gonna be there anyway,
so she's a game time decision. She's gonna try to
give it a go. And and people love still buying tickets.
They're still hoping that they're going to that it's going
to be cool, you know what I mean, and she
might play or whatever. They I would have been sick
(19:09):
if I was a commissioner and I found out that
this was announced.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
We got to figure out something like, hey, hey, still
buy tickets and she'll give you an autograph and a picture.
Something we're gonna have to do like Chris Brown does
that on his tour. You can come to the concert,
but you can pay another thousand dollars and he has
these ladies will come up there and he'll take a
picture and literally Rley does whatever they ask. So if
they're like, you know, squeeze my cheeks and I don't
mean the ones on her face still squeezezeeke pick me up?
(19:35):
He picks them up. But he's getting extra money because
they're paying a thousand dollars for a quick meet and
greet for a picture. And then it's then anwnba Hey
you get to get a pick with Caitlin in autograph basketball.
If you still come by these tickets or something, because
that's incredible. And again, that's a great metric for her team,
her agent, her investors, her whole you know, financial folks
(19:56):
around her to say, we know what we're worth because
because think of again, if Asian Wilson's the best player
at the nbaw me, that's not even debatable. She goes
out them, tickets ain't dropping like that. Breonna Stewart goes
out them tickets ain't dropping like that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
That's a big drop. That's our big drop.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And rob Patrick Mahomes doesn't play in the Pro Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes doesn't play the game. The NFL can't drop
it fifty percent. They might cut it five.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
But this is what I was saying, and the reason
I even came up with the whole idea of canceling
everything is it centers around her.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Where's the game Indy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Of this series?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah exactly right, Yeah, I mean the whole thing was
centered around her, and for her not to be able
to participate is a bummer for the whole league and
for everybody. Everybody else can say, well, there are other
stars and it's not.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Just about her, and that sounds good. I'll tell you
about the ratings.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
If you're ABC and you're showing that game Saturday night
at eight thirty, are you kidding? They'd rather they Right
now at ABC, they're thinking, should we put on the
Ten Commandments of ben Hur?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Now? That one was funny. I'll gear you that that
was funny.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I mean, won't you We do that, like, we'll probably
get better ratings for ben Hur not not.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Shye's shaking his head, Shane, what are you shaking your
head for?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Ben Her? Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Okay, y'all gotta relax, y'all not gonna make it six years.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Guys, I'm not even full time yet. Please, I'm trying
to make it. I got it. You guys have been
here for a while.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Listen, here's the thing. This is what I said the
other day, Rob. If you're the WNBA, you're gonna have
to do like this. You're gonna have to say, we
know the viewership's gonna be down, and we know obviously
the price is gone down forty eight percent. But what
they have to master moving forward? To me, this was
sometimes got to throw you something you didn't expect, and
even in a tough situation, so you gotta go all right.
(21:46):
This was an ideal. But we have to figure out
a way to market our stars. Right, she can't just
be the sun in our solar system and everything goes
around her. We have to find ways to big up Asia, Sabrina,
Brianna h Kelsey, Mitchell, whoever else you want to big up,
because this can't be the case that we only go
as Kaitlin Cark. No other business is like that except golf.
(22:08):
Golf was like that. They're the tiger Woods there. If
Tiger ain't playing well, Naga wasn't nobody watching. That's what
it is. She is a tiger wooded phenomenon like that,
where one person can change the fluctuate and you know
the influx of viewers and prices and all that. That's insane.
That's a compliment to her, without a doubt. All right,

Sean King, the former NFL quarterback, talk some NFL with
him and last call time as well. Maybe people getting
a little ahead of themselves with the show. Hey, Barry
Bonds thing, We'll get to that as well. So a
lot of stuff to talk about. But Shay, there was
some news from the nfl PA with the resignation Kelvin and.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Shae.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Yeah, so yesterday we had some news that Lloyd Howell Junior,
the boss of the nfl PA or xbox of the NFLPA.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Actually you I saw him a magic City the other night. Yeah,
were there me Let me get to that part. Were
throwing money around, so maybe it I mean twenty.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Five hundred that magic City can get you. I don't
know how much can I get you. We can get you,
they can get Okay, But anyway, let's get to this story.
So he decides to hey, I'm going to do the
right thing. I'm going to resign. The next day, a
news article comes out basically stating that Howe charged the
union for multiple strip club visits and allegedly charged the
(25:21):
union seven hundred and thirty eight on one receipt and
another two thousand, five hundred during a separate strip club visit.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Rob They're on to you.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
One of them was in Atlanta at Magic City, actually,
which is very, very big coincidence in my opinion, But
it's definitely something.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I just.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
I didn't put any receipts and that's the only Yeah,
But there is definitely more to this story. It's been
an ongoing discussion for the past couple of months. It's
something that's been in the news for a while. It's
it's been iffy. They haven't been doing anything for the players,
and this is something that I want you guys to
discuss because again, it seems like they're just throwing under
the rug and laughing in our faces.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I mean, I'm gonna say here, and Kelvin, you know this.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
A lot of guys have lost their gigs over expenses. Kelvin,
am I right expenses and women like at their jobs,
like those are the two things that guys will wind
up going down with the ship because for whatever reason
they play around with the company, you know, and they
wind up getting burned. My question to you, Kelvin is about,
(26:28):
let's just I want to talk about the strip club thing. Okay,
do guys still go to strip clubs with only fans
and all the stuff you can get in.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Your home and on your phone and all that. Do
you actually still go to strip clubs?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
And if you do, do you have a limit of
how much money you spend or like what you will
and won't do and all that? And I don't know
is the thrill gone because obviously the thrill wasn't gone
for the NFL PA chief because you spend some pretty
heavy money.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I don't think the thrill is gone. I think, if any,
it's become way more normalized, commercialized. It used to be taboo.
You know, you didn't talk about it. It was like kind
of like, oh, you know, Now it's so normalized. It's
in every video. You get people who are even on
your own timeline. Friends will be there, you know, just
hanging out. A lot of the women go now it's
like the regular club now. So I think It's definitely
(27:18):
just part of the lexicon of pop culture currently, especially
with the advent of how big hip hop and rap
has gotten with the with the you know, the visuals
and all. So I don't think it's that clearly you
got this clearly you were just there and then clearly
you got him there as well. So it's crazy about
it though, Rob is you mentioned expenses? Okay, to dive
a little deeper into this, he was taking out cash
(27:40):
withdraws from the ATM there, So it wasn't like he
went to his local Bank of America and took out
some money from there. He was taking out cash through
the company business at the venue, right.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
And I will say this, not that I really know,
but I'm assuming that it's not a three dollar fee
when you take money from the ATM.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
What's it, Tim, I think it's a little bit more
than that. I think it's a little bit more, Hia.
And do you guys know what actually higher twenty.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Lower right around there, twenty to get in fifteen for
the ATM?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Probably huh big money, So go ahead.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Say, but yeah, So the the purpose of the outing
that he said, oh yeah, I love this title, give
it player engagement event to support and grow our union.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, there was some supporting and growing going on. Definitely, Yeah,
there are some supporting and growing. Listen, Rob, this is
why I'm upset you and I have to talk about
this a million times. I'm so tired of NFLPAS, NFLPH
National Football League playhaters. That's what they are. They're playhaiders.
They hate on their own players. Rob, this is the
(28:46):
same guy. So now we got this this whole thing.
He's going on the company, diner, strip clubs, he's getting
the car service. This was what tipped it off, Rob,
mother one hundred dollars for seven hundred dollars something for
the car service is what tipped it all off. They're like, wait,
what are you doing? The car was part from like
around ten pm to six am down at uh the
(29:06):
one what's the one drake but rapping about to TUTSI
TOTSI whatever in Florida. So let's start there right to
sis as well. I've been to that one until six
am on the companies playing for the limo and the
cash withdraws. So this is the same guy I just
had to talk about a week.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
The car come back for you. That doesn't even make
any sense like you're too big that you can't do.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Move like that. Get the fifty dollars uber, you know
what I'm saying, and that not but the cast seven
hundred some dollars for the company's to.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Wait for you for eight hours is what is a money? Right,
It's a waste of money. And I've been, like I said,
I've been to TOUTSI it's not like some scary place
if you're if you're that scared and need a car
to go a sap, then then you shouldn't be there.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
And I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
When you go into some of these places, the security
is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Like you feel I feel safer.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I'm not even kidding you, Kelvin at a strip club
than not doing most public venues.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I can believe you.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I mean there's moneys around. They don't mess.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Around the strip clubs though you can. Like these are
like clubs like these are like they're not like you're
like run run the mill like a corner.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh yeah, that's when that was my point. These are known.
These they're all over, they're huge on social and every
wraps on these like so this is let me let
me let me get this point out real quick.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Shake.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The disappointing thing is obviously this conversation, but also this
is the same guy Rob Collusion. When the Collusion case
comes out, he was involved and sat on that information
for six months. The players didn't know till Pable tore
it got the news out there a week or so ago.
Then they find out, oh, maybe somebody's quarterbacks could have
got more money, but they arbitrator finds out, they come
(30:51):
to an agreement, and he doesn't tell anybody, sits on
it for six months, so to come out. He's also
a consultant for one of the private equity groups the
only that the league allowed to have part ownership of
ten percent up to ten percent ownership of a team.
So you know what I'm gonna not do if I'm
involved with owners I'm not gonna do anything that makes
(31:12):
owners mad. I'm not gonna do anything that upsets ownership.
And now this is the guy who's leading your NFLPA,
and then he has a nerve to say, Rob, well,
you know, I guess I'm understanding that my leadership isn't good.
Right now you think it is clear, and come to
my attention that my leadership has become a distraction. You
ain't been leading. You've been leading them to all the clubs,
(31:32):
you've been lead them to the ATMs, and you've been
misleading them, not getting them information about collusion, that the
NFL had to have some arborrator on arbitration on. So yeah,
I'm just done, and I'm done with the players for
being okay with this. Rob You and I talk about
this all the time. Well, yea, they gotta do something
at some point.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Well that's not gonna happen. And what have we told
you time and time again, Nothing will happen. The union
will never be respected by the owners until they have
a workstoppage, until you cut off their money and stop
the money train. Right at that will you get people's attention?
How do you get billionaires attention? Stop the money? And
as long as they play, they know that their war
(32:13):
chest is bigger than the unions, So you go ahead
and they'll just wait out. So, but you have to
be serious about it. You can't go running back after
three weeks, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Like you read and you're and this is why can't
specifically this issue obviously the strip club, he's been hanging
around with you and got them in trouble and all
that you didn't you told you should. You should have
told them not to go to the ATM and get that.
You should have told them to uber there. But my
point is this is where you need to start, players
rob to actually say, yo, we need something to happen.
(32:43):
We had a guy essentially infiltrate the system. This guy,
this guy, Lloyd Howe, essentially was working with colluding with
the owners.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
But this is not this is not new though, and
this is this is where the problem is. Is that
you know, the owners get to the union guy or
it's the same thing, this collision with agents where they
get guys you know what I mean, Like if you
take care of this.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Guy, I'll take care of his other guy for you.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Like there's a lot of that back stuff going on,
and that's the sad part.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
But they're not willing to question.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Own you know, membership in the union and have these
guys held accountable.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And that's why this stuff is going on.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Kelvin absolutely, Me and Kevin were actually talking about this
earlier and you alluded to it, but you didn't say
it right there. You basically said with the players as
long as the cash the check cash is, nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And that's the problem me and Rob talking about. Listen, Shay.
The trouble is me saying, if you're yelling like I
wanted the players, I'm yelling at them to get right.
I'm yelling at them to get their own separate, independent investigators,
get their own lawyers to get on this. So while
we have a guy who's leading our player association who
is in Cohodes with the owners, he's a consultant for
(33:54):
a team, that for a private equity firm that can
be a part owner of an NFL team. Rob, if
I'm part owner, then I'm on their side. If I'm
working with part ownership, I'm with the owners, not the players.
And players need to demand it. But listen, every month,
those cash checks, those those checks cash, and it's hard,
and I hear you, and it's hard, but hey man,
(34:15):
I just bought my mama house. I hear you, it's hard,
but I just got these news.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
It ain't that hard.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
And that's for them.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
But it's been done.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
And the whole idea is if the union has a
correct war chest, because I've seen it done in baseball
and if you go to the union and they pay
your bills during the lockout or whatever the strike is,
that's how you get membership. Right to hold the line
because you're not worried about money.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I'm paying the bills, so well, I guess you know what.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
It's never enough because they have terrible pension plan, terrible
health care, terrible like.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So what's the thing or is it never? Because is
there anything?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:57):
The owners have those guys over a barrel, be because
they have them, they don't they have them vote whether
to get paid or not not on the CBA. Whenever
you have people vote on whether to get paid or not,
they're always gonna vote to get paid. So that's why
they always lose. Do you see what I'm saying. It
can't be about getting paid. It's gotta be whether the
(35:20):
CBA is good enough for us, and that that's how
it's done.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
And the CBA hasn't because their representation, NFLPA, has it.
And I call he's the NFLPA. He's a player hater
and that's who's been leading them for the last couple
of years. And that's ridiculous, terrible, all right?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
We're just curious about strip clubs?
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Do you still go? Is it still a thing? I
still think it's a thing. I don't go every night.
But when I go to Atlanta, do I stop by
Magic City always?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
We know?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
No, I'm not even starting.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I'm starting. I'm starting to think you just like this
Lloyd Howe guy, I think you ten percent owner. No,
I'm not Tien p sent Odor, But where where are
you on that? And do you have limits here? I
just go out there?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Do you go?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Do you buy the expensive drinks? Do you throw dollar bills?
Do you still enjoy it? Or as only fans? Maybe
change that for you and you don't need to go
to strip clubs?
Speaker 3 (36:16):
All right?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
We want to hear from you. Eight seven, seven ninety

Oh oh oh no, no, no, it was good. I
was just that was psychosomatic. You know, when you think

I got marked down as well.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You tell me this one green?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
This is green not green ham though, okay, real quick,
and you tell me if I'm crazy with sugar or
whatever you want to say. But I'm catching these deals.
And when I see a deal, I'm gonna I'm gonna
go for you. Ready, here it comes sending you a
picture and you guys can describe.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
What we got here.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Okay, let's see what we got.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
We got here, we got it?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, we're ready. Well we go.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Dollar twelve for a salad mixed. Rob. That's impressive. That's impressive.
Am I right? You can see the brown in the lettuce? No,
you cannot see brown? Would you stop? Shaye? What where's
the brown?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
A dollar up a little bit?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That's what?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Hey, Shay, that's my hand holding a package. That's the
only brown.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Brown. Let me see. Let me see what.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You can't see it on your phone. It's on your phone.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I can see. Oh shoot, I don't see that. You
let me see.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Let me see col would you stop? Let's see, Rob,
I'll say this. This is actually mineral based lettuce too.
It's butterleaf and red leaf, good jots on iceberg. That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
You know he's gonna cherry pick and only get the iceberg.
We know that for sure. And here's the other thing too.
The expiration date on the lettuce July twentieth. No, and
that's a couple of where do you see that July twentieth.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's at the top. You can't see it, but it's
July twenty convenient. Can't see it? No, but it is.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
If I'm to tell you about the ham the look
under the reduced I saw seven seventeen, and I thought
that would look under the reduced.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I see it because I feel like he would have
taken a picture of that just to prove the point. Yeah,
we go back there, we'll be I'll be FACETI No, no,
it was a twenty but my point.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Nothing wrong with this, right. The lettuce is good? But okay,
but Rob, this is the issue. We're not necessarily mad
at the lettuce blend. Okay, you were eating meats in
mayonnaise and cheat the chicken salad that was reduced and
flown across the country, and hams that were green. And
I come back in the studio, what do you say, Oh,
(04:44):
my stomach hurts?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Did you did you not? I said my stomach. I
didn't say it heard. I just said my stomach.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I was just ring mister semantics.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
All right.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Now, Hey, it's a funky flashbreak Friday. Let's welcome in
the odd couple crew. Who I know ever get Mark.
I'm just saying, Alex is our engineer. Shaye is our
producer for rob gez.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Working on it something about the valley. You're from the valley.
Let's find it something for the valley.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Steve the Sagres, he'll keep us updated. And of course
Elijah is our social media guru and uh he will
keep us.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Going live all over social media. Thank you, Bill. Uh.
We already know the TJ.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Watt contract, right, which was a big one for the Steelers,
and then Kelvin today just thoughts about Michaeh Parsons and
the Cowboys, and we know what Jerry Jones, can you.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Just the conversation is a Yard Barker story, which is
really which makes sense because it makes they didn't break
anything in the sense that everybody's had to hear. We
go again, so the thought process is here we go
where TJ. Watt getting that? And you and I have
agreed we're gonna call it eight million dollar deal, the
one hundred and eight, not what they said. The guaranteed
(06:12):
portion of it four years, one hundred and eight forty
one mill a year for TJ. Watt, who obviously we
know is amazing. Buddy is also older, a halfull of
years older than Michael Parsons. So your logic goes to, well,
Michael Parson has been just about as good, just about
his prolific a lot younger, and he's playing in Dallas,
so that payday gots to be crazy. And they're in
(06:33):
lies of conversation, Rob, that the cowboys done did it again?
The cowboys? This is the issue. The definition Rob of
insanity is what doing the same thing over and over
and expecting a different outcome. And really that's exactly what
the Cowboys keep doing. They keep doing the same thing,
playing around and free agency. You ever had a leak
(06:56):
something going on in your house, man, little we gotta
check on this leak. We got to look at this leak.
And they say it's going to be about three hundred dollars.
You're like, let me just we'll wait. We'll wait, all right,
you might not want to wait. Circle get worse, and
you get worse, and they got to come back in
that three hundred dollars goes to three thousand dollars. That's
what the Dallas Cowboys keep doing. You know, you've identified
your stars, Dak Prescott, Cde Lamb and Michael Parsons pay
(07:21):
the men their money, and what they keep doing is
waiting around, trying to find a better deal, trying to finago.
Maybe they'll get a hometown discount, and they end up
getting screwed over to the tune of sixty million. They
got to pick Dak Prescott, they had to pay more
money for.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
CI have to do that over again. They wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
One hundred percent. And it's not that he's a horrible quarterback.
It's just he's not worth sixty. But when you keep
waiting and you have no more leverage, or you see
the other guy get the bag, and that's what happened
with cdee Lamb. You see other receivers get their money.
Then you're forced to pay ced Lamb a bunch of money.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That the mark could not be not you know what
I mean exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You want to be early, all right, here's I'm making
it up. Here's thirty two mil. And then now somebody
else has to go higher than you. You want to
set it, But no, they keep waiting, And I just
don't understand for them to be such a big organization
understanding money, trying to do something different, because again, definition
is saying They're doing the same thing over and you
keep doing this, you keep stubbing your toe, wasting money
(08:17):
when you know you've identified the guys you have to
keep because Jerry Jones ultimately pays these guys. So I
genuinely don't understand it. I don't get it. But it
also is the reason why they've been to perpetually a
good team at best a mid team more than likely
over the last thirty years because of moves like this.
And the common denominator is what rob Jerry Jones, What
(08:38):
you're gonna do? Get rid of the owner? He owned it.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, that's why this is not a shocker at all.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
This is Jerry and he has there's a reason that
thirty two years have gone by they haven't even been
to the forget about going to the super Bowl, but
even playing in a conference championship. I mean that is
when you really think about the way the NFL set up.
And all he ever does is wait, wait, wait, and
(09:07):
it costs them and I just cannot understand it or
figure it out. But again, it's Jerry, and he's done
this over and over and over again, and you know,
if you're not gonna do it, and I mean pay them,
then you should trade them. And it was a little
talk at one point, right the Cowboys had more holes
than the golf course, so maybe they were better off
(09:29):
and thinking like we could get a couple of pieces,
you know what I mean, and get this thing righted,
so that give ourselves a chance. Obviously, you don't want
to give up a player like Michael Parsons, but you
got to give to get sometimes. And if you're not
going to pay them, as soon as you can pay
somebody and you identify them as somebody who would get
that kind of a deal.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You should just do it early.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Early is always better because even if it's a mistake,
it's lower than waiting.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
It's a lower price than waiting.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
And you seen enough even though the defense has been
awful starting with that playoff game last year against Green Bay,
right terrible and they were terrible to start the to
start the season, the defense, But ultimately you're crazy, I think.
I just think my question is are they waiting? Are
(10:21):
they debating? Do they really want to sign Michael Parsons?
You know he's into the podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I still believe that the best move would be to
trade him. He seems to be in the other stuff.
The defense hasn't been that great. You could get a
haul for him. There are plenty of teams that would
take him. If I'm the Cowboys, I think I might
entertain that, and I would, I would, I would move on.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They're not going anywhere for him. He's the problem is
or he loves them. You and I have sat up
here and talked about how he cutting himself short. Remember,
oh man, I told my agent on his podcast, I
don't even care if we got to lose money. Let's
just get the deal done. I want to stay here
what you hired me for. If you're gonna do all that,
He's up off the podcast and let the agent agent.
(11:06):
And so he's already said that. I think he's in
love with him. They're in love with him. And here's
the crazy part. I mean, as much as he's been
in the lexicon for US sports folks now talking about him,
dude is only twenty five years old, which is absolutely insane,
how young he is, how prolific he is. He's twenty
six years old now now he's twenty six. But even
last year Rob he was injured, nicked up, banged up,
(11:29):
only plays thirteen games, dude comes back and gives you
twelve sacks. That's how good he is too, forced fumbles,
thirty solo tackles.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I mean the number of the team the defense wasn't good.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Sure, you can't let go of a twenty six year
old guy that good. Jerry Jones would never allow himself
to do that because if Avid Marcus, but you.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Didn't win, you didn't win with them. So what that means,
you're gonna go back.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
To two seasons ago when they had a chance, they
had a great record. They're at thirteen and three. They're
gonna look at that and say, when we're fully held healthy,
Dak is healthy, Mic is healthy.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Healthy and doing anything in the playoff. But my point is,
don't talk to me like talk to me like I'm Jerry.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
No.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I'm just saying like, unless you really could could store
up a couple other positions, like this team isn't close,
and now you're you're what You're in a division with
the Eagles, right, yep uh, And the NFC is not
a pushover. There's a lot of good teams whatnot. Everybody
except the Lions might probably not get crazy. I know
(12:28):
you can't have what you say, but you get My
point is they have other issues.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Would you agree with that?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
And and I know there has some injuries, and you
want to believe in Dak and all that they got
to fix that defense if they really want to have
a shot, And I get it, And I get to
Michael Parkson.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I know how much talent he has. I don't know.
It just seems like he's preoccupied with other stuff as well.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
But he still comes to play. And he's too young.
And you know, I'm annoyed with the podcast, remember getting
him beef for players and Marcus Lawrence when he left
talking about other people's salary. He's done a bunch of
goofy stuff that I don't like with these podcasts. But
now you're looking at a situation, just to go back
to the top of the conversation, where we know TJ
got forty one million annually. Now you're looking at a
(13:13):
situation where, again, because they've waited so long, they might
cost themselves where he might make forty five annually. And
you can say what's on sillion, but four million is
huge because that four million can go to another defensive
defensive back you could have signed. That four million can
go get your running backs. You have to revisit Ezekiel
Elliott type situations where you got to spend a block
on the old Ezekiel Elliott. I mean they're saying that
(13:35):
he could get up to anywhere near two hundred million
because of the Micah I mean TJ. Watt deal and
the Miles Garrett deal. You let those two guys get
in front, and they're older than him, so now his
agent can really say, look at those guys, He's about
the same talent as them and they're older than him.
Pay the man some crazy money. So once again, Jerry
(13:55):
Jones is fucking himself to me in a deficit and
put himself behind the eight ball, or he's lost money
that he could have used to as your point is,
fill these holes and build up a better team.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
All right, It is the couple.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And guess what, aching knees, stiff, back joints not cooperating.
That's why some days your body just feels like no
way know how. And on those days, luckily there's a
leave with just one pill. A leave provides up to
twelve hours of pain relief so that you can keep moving.
Use as directed. We want to hear from you. Eight
(14:27):
seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine,
six sixty three, sixty nine and Michael Parters is the Cowboys?
Where are you are they?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Just?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Why are they procrastinating? Did they see something that maybe
made them pause and hesitate? You know, because otherwise after
his first couple of seasons, you would have thought that
he would have been locked up forever. And for whatever reason,
they're taking their time, or or the Cowboys with Sugarnough
and just crazy and doing the same old stuff. And
(15:00):
this is Jerry and there's nothing new here in Cowboyland?
Where are you on this? Should they have signed them already?
And should they sign them? And should he make more
than TJ?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Watt?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Where are you? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox?
Speaker 4 (15:13):

Speaker 1 (16:13):
We are the odd couple, Rob Parker Kelvina Washington on
a fucky Flashback Friday. Again, that's DJ Alex on the
ones and twos providing the sound there. All right, Rob,
we gotta talk about the WNBA All Star Weekend and
All Star Game. We talked about Kaitlyn Clark not gonna
participate in the game because of injuries.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
And what did I tell you yesterday? They should cancel
the WNBA All Star Weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yes, well, no, you're wrong about that. But even though
they don't do that, you are right there. Listen. The
tickets have plummeted now they say they're down. They had
to drop the price of dag near fifty percent, around
forty something percent, because, of course, folks, the remaining tickets
that are available, people are like, I ain't going to that,
you know, because she's out. And now they're dropped down
(17:01):
about forty eight percent. So you're looking at what was
about one hundred and twenty one dollars on average now
down to sixty four bucks.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Plus you get a bag of reduced lettuce with the tickets.
I'm just saying, hey.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You better not say that, Rob, you might mess around
and go to the game. Now.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They were attached to the back of the bag of
my salad.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That's what it was. Parent tickets.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Alex. You know this right now.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
If you go out to your car, Alex, there were
two WNBA All Star Game tickets attached to your winshield.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
You're so nice for that. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You know what this does, though, and it's no news,
I mean in the sense that we've talked about this,
you and I a million times. But it just shows
how huge she is to a sport. And I don't
know if there's any other person that's been like Lebron
is probably you know, the engine of the NBA, maybe
Patrick Mahomes, the NFL probably either Judge or show Hey,
MLB so on and so forth. But if show Hey
(17:54):
didn't play an MLB All Star game, you know what,
ticket prices weren't gonna drop eight percent?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Rob nothing right, same thing. If Judge wasn't there, just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
There, it wouldn't dropp Lebron James remember said no, I'm
not playing the night before or whatever. Guess what tickets
would have still been priced what they were. If Steph
Currin said I'm not playing this year, that is a ridiculous.
If she ever needed a gauge a metric, that's insane.
One star is out and they drop almost fifty percent
of the.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
If I'm the w NBA, she's not releasing that news,
and we're not knowing that she's not gonna play until
everybody's arrived. In any of that, I'm just telling you
you are not gonna know, and and you'll find out
when you get to it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
She's starting a game.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
She's a game time decision.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
She's not gonna play in a three point shot, right,
so we could do that, but she's a game because
she's there, she's supposed to be go gonna be there anyway,
so she's a game time decision. She's gonna try to
give it a go. And and people love still buying tickets.
They're still hoping that they're going to that it's going
to be cool, you know what I mean, and she
might play or whatever. They I would have been sick
(19:09):
if I was a commissioner and I found out that
this was announced.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
We got to figure out something like, hey, hey, still
buy tickets and she'll give you an autograph and a picture.
Something we're gonna have to do like Chris Brown does
that on his tour. You can come to the concert,
but you can pay another thousand dollars and he has
these ladies will come up there and he'll take a
picture and literally Rley does whatever they ask. So if
they're like, you know, squeeze my cheeks and I don't
mean the ones on her face still squeezezeeke pick me up?
(19:35):
He picks them up. But he's getting extra money because
they're paying a thousand dollars for a quick meet and
greet for a picture. And then it's then anwnba Hey
you get to get a pick with Caitlin in autograph basketball.
If you still come by these tickets or something, because
that's incredible. And again, that's a great metric for her team,
her agent, her investors, her whole you know, financial folks
(19:56):
around her to say, we know what we're worth because
because think of again, if Asian Wilson's the best player
at the nbaw me, that's not even debatable. She goes
out them, tickets ain't dropping like that. Breonna Stewart goes
out them tickets ain't dropping like that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
That's a big drop. That's our big drop.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And rob Patrick Mahomes doesn't play in the Pro Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes doesn't play the game. The NFL can't drop
it fifty percent. They might cut it five.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
But this is what I was saying, and the reason
I even came up with the whole idea of canceling
everything is it centers around her.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Where's the game Indy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Of this series?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah exactly right, Yeah, I mean the whole thing was
centered around her, and for her not to be able
to participate is a bummer for the whole league and
for everybody. Everybody else can say, well, there are other
stars and it's not.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Just about her, and that sounds good. I'll tell you
about the ratings.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
If you're ABC and you're showing that game Saturday night
at eight thirty, are you kidding? They'd rather they Right
now at ABC, they're thinking, should we put on the
Ten Commandments of ben Hur?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Now? That one was funny. I'll gear you that that
was funny.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I mean, won't you We do that, like, we'll probably
get better ratings for ben Hur not not.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Shye's shaking his head, Shane, what are you shaking your
head for?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Ben Her? Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Okay, y'all gotta relax, y'all not gonna make it six years.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Guys, I'm not even full time yet. Please, I'm trying
to make it. I got it. You guys have been
here for a while.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Listen, here's the thing. This is what I said the
other day, Rob. If you're the WNBA, you're gonna have
to do like this. You're gonna have to say, we
know the viewership's gonna be down, and we know obviously
the price is gone down forty eight percent. But what
they have to master moving forward? To me, this was
sometimes got to throw you something you didn't expect, and
even in a tough situation, so you gotta go all right.
(21:46):
This was an ideal. But we have to figure out
a way to market our stars. Right, she can't just
be the sun in our solar system and everything goes
around her. We have to find ways to big up Asia, Sabrina,
Brianna h Kelsey, Mitchell, whoever else you want to big up,
because this can't be the case that we only go
as Kaitlin Cark. No other business is like that except golf.
(22:08):
Golf was like that. They're the tiger Woods there. If
Tiger ain't playing well, Naga wasn't nobody watching. That's what
it is. She is a tiger wooded phenomenon like that,
where one person can change the fluctuate and you know
the influx of viewers and prices and all that. That's insane.
That's a compliment to her, without a doubt. All right,
shekel city on the way and we got no games.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
No, we got games tonight. Baseball is back. We had
no games the last.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Two nights or in the WNBA, So respectful, I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Bet on the w I'm not, come on, I'm not.
I'm being honest. I'm going to give you WNBA scores.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I mean, Rob, why do I have season tickets to sparks?
On my car. I know season tickets. What happened? They
know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm not dealing with y'all. That's on the way. I

a little ahead of themselves with the show. Hey, Barry
Bonds thing, We'll get to that as well. So a
lot of stuff to talk about. But Shay, there was
some news from the nfl PA with the resignation Kelvin and.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Shae.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Yeah, so yesterday we had some news that Lloyd Howell Junior,
the boss of the nfl PA or xbox of the NFLPA.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Actually you I saw him a magic City the other night. Yeah,
were there me Let me get to that part. Were
throwing money around, so maybe it I mean twenty.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Five hundred that magic City can get you. I don't
know how much can I get you. We can get you,
they can get Okay, But anyway, let's get to this story.
So he decides to hey, I'm going to do the
right thing. I'm going to resign. The next day, a
news article comes out basically stating that Howe charged the
union for multiple strip club visits and allegedly charged the
(25:21):
union seven hundred and thirty eight on one receipt and
another two thousand, five hundred during a separate strip club visit.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Rob They're on to you.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
One of them was in Atlanta at Magic City, actually,
which is very, very big coincidence in my opinion, But
it's definitely something.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I just.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
I didn't put any receipts and that's the only Yeah,
But there is definitely more to this story. It's been
an ongoing discussion for the past couple of months. It's
something that's been in the news for a while. It's
it's been iffy. They haven't been doing anything for the players,
and this is something that I want you guys to
discuss because again, it seems like they're just throwing under
the rug and laughing in our faces.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I mean, I'm gonna say here, and Kelvin, you know this.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
A lot of guys have lost their gigs over expenses. Kelvin,
am I right expenses and women like at their jobs,
like those are the two things that guys will wind
up going down with the ship because for whatever reason
they play around with the company, you know, and they
wind up getting burned. My question to you, Kelvin is about,
(26:28):
let's just I want to talk about the strip club thing. Okay,
do guys still go to strip clubs with only fans
and all the stuff you can get in.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Your home and on your phone and all that. Do
you actually still go to strip clubs?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
And if you do, do you have a limit of
how much money you spend or like what you will
and won't do and all that? And I don't know
is the thrill gone because obviously the thrill wasn't gone
for the NFL PA chief because you spend some pretty
heavy money.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I don't think the thrill is gone. I think, if any,
it's become way more normalized, commercialized. It used to be taboo.
You know, you didn't talk about it. It was like kind
of like, oh, you know, Now it's so normalized. It's
in every video. You get people who are even on
your own timeline. Friends will be there, you know, just
hanging out. A lot of the women go now it's
like the regular club now. So I think It's definitely
(27:18):
just part of the lexicon of pop culture currently, especially
with the advent of how big hip hop and rap
has gotten with the with the you know, the visuals
and all. So I don't think it's that clearly you
got this clearly you were just there and then clearly
you got him there as well. So it's crazy about
it though, Rob is you mentioned expenses? Okay, to dive
a little deeper into this, he was taking out cash
(27:40):
withdraws from the ATM there, So it wasn't like he
went to his local Bank of America and took out
some money from there. He was taking out cash through
the company business at the venue, right.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
And I will say this, not that I really know,
but I'm assuming that it's not a three dollar fee
when you take money from the ATM.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
What's it, Tim, I think it's a little bit more
than that. I think it's a little bit more, Hia.
And do you guys know what actually higher twenty.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Lower right around there, twenty to get in fifteen for
the ATM?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Probably huh big money, So go ahead.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Say, but yeah, So the the purpose of the outing
that he said, oh yeah, I love this title, give
it player engagement event to support and grow our union.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, there was some supporting and growing going on. Definitely, Yeah,
there are some supporting and growing. Listen, Rob, this is
why I'm upset you and I have to talk about
this a million times. I'm so tired of NFLPAS, NFLPH
National Football League playhaters. That's what they are. They're playhaiders.
They hate on their own players. Rob, this is the
(28:46):
same guy. So now we got this this whole thing.
He's going on the company, diner, strip clubs, he's getting
the car service. This was what tipped it off, Rob,
mother one hundred dollars for seven hundred dollars something for
the car service is what tipped it all off. They're like, wait,
what are you doing? The car was part from like
around ten pm to six am down at uh the
(29:06):
one what's the one drake but rapping about to TUTSI
TOTSI whatever in Florida. So let's start there right to
sis as well. I've been to that one until six
am on the companies playing for the limo and the
cash withdraws. So this is the same guy I just
had to talk about a week.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
The car come back for you. That doesn't even make
any sense like you're too big that you can't do.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Move like that. Get the fifty dollars uber, you know
what I'm saying, and that not but the cast seven
hundred some dollars for the company's to.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Wait for you for eight hours is what is a money? Right,
It's a waste of money. And I've been, like I said,
I've been to TOUTSI it's not like some scary place
if you're if you're that scared and need a car
to go a sap, then then you shouldn't be there.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
And I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
When you go into some of these places, the security
is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Like you feel I feel safer.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I'm not even kidding you, Kelvin at a strip club
than not doing most public venues.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I can believe you.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I mean there's moneys around. They don't mess.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Around the strip clubs though you can. Like these are
like clubs like these are like they're not like you're
like run run the mill like a corner.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh yeah, that's when that was my point. These are known.
These they're all over, they're huge on social and every
wraps on these like so this is let me let
me let me get this point out real quick.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Shake.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The disappointing thing is obviously this conversation, but also this
is the same guy Rob Collusion. When the Collusion case
comes out, he was involved and sat on that information
for six months. The players didn't know till Pable tore
it got the news out there a week or so ago.
Then they find out, oh, maybe somebody's quarterbacks could have
got more money, but they arbitrator finds out, they come
(30:51):
to an agreement, and he doesn't tell anybody, sits on
it for six months, so to come out. He's also
a consultant for one of the private equity groups the
only that the league allowed to have part ownership of
ten percent up to ten percent ownership of a team.
So you know what I'm gonna not do if I'm
involved with owners I'm not gonna do anything that makes
(31:12):
owners mad. I'm not gonna do anything that upsets ownership.
And now this is the guy who's leading your NFLPA,
and then he has a nerve to say, Rob, well,
you know, I guess I'm understanding that my leadership isn't good.
Right now you think it is clear, and come to
my attention that my leadership has become a distraction. You
ain't been leading. You've been leading them to all the clubs,
(31:32):
you've been lead them to the ATMs, and you've been
misleading them, not getting them information about collusion, that the
NFL had to have some arborrator on arbitration on. So yeah,
I'm just done, and I'm done with the players for
being okay with this. Rob You and I talk about
this all the time. Well, yea, they gotta do something
at some point.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Well that's not gonna happen. And what have we told
you time and time again, Nothing will happen. The union
will never be respected by the owners until they have
a workstoppage, until you cut off their money and stop
the money train. Right at that will you get people's attention?
How do you get billionaires attention? Stop the money? And
as long as they play, they know that their war
(32:13):
chest is bigger than the unions, So you go ahead
and they'll just wait out. So, but you have to
be serious about it. You can't go running back after
three weeks, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Like you read and you're and this is why can't
specifically this issue obviously the strip club, he's been hanging
around with you and got them in trouble and all
that you didn't you told you should. You should have
told them not to go to the ATM and get that.
You should have told them to uber there. But my
point is this is where you need to start, players
rob to actually say, yo, we need something to happen.
(32:43):
We had a guy essentially infiltrate the system. This guy,
this guy, Lloyd Howe, essentially was working with colluding with
the owners.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
But this is not this is not new though, and
this is this is where the problem is. Is that
you know, the owners get to the union guy or
it's the same thing, this collision with agents where they
get guys you know what I mean, Like if you
take care of this.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Guy, I'll take care of his other guy for you.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Like there's a lot of that back stuff going on,
and that's the sad part.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
But they're not willing to question.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Own you know, membership in the union and have these
guys held accountable.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And that's why this stuff is going on.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Kelvin absolutely, Me and Kevin were actually talking about this
earlier and you alluded to it, but you didn't say
it right there. You basically said with the players as
long as the cash the check cash is, nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And that's the problem me and Rob talking about. Listen, Shay.
The trouble is me saying, if you're yelling like I
wanted the players, I'm yelling at them to get right.
I'm yelling at them to get their own separate, independent investigators,
get their own lawyers to get on this. So while
we have a guy who's leading our player association who
is in Cohodes with the owners, he's a consultant for
(33:54):
a team, that for a private equity firm that can
be a part owner of an NFL team. Rob, if
I'm part owner, then I'm on their side. If I'm
working with part ownership, I'm with the owners, not the players.
And players need to demand it. But listen, every month,
those cash checks, those those checks cash, and it's hard,
and I hear you, and it's hard, but hey man,
(34:15):
I just bought my mama house. I hear you, it's hard,
but I just got these news.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
It ain't that hard.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
And that's for them.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
But it's been done.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
And the whole idea is if the union has a
correct war chest, because I've seen it done in baseball
and if you go to the union and they pay
your bills during the lockout or whatever the strike is,
that's how you get membership. Right to hold the line
because you're not worried about money.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I'm paying the bills, so well, I guess you know what.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
It's never enough because they have terrible pension plan, terrible
health care, terrible like.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So what's the thing or is it never? Because is
there anything?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:57):
The owners have those guys over a barrel, be because
they have them, they don't they have them vote whether
to get paid or not not on the CBA. Whenever
you have people vote on whether to get paid or not,
they're always gonna vote to get paid. So that's why
they always lose. Do you see what I'm saying. It
can't be about getting paid. It's gotta be whether the
(35:20):
CBA is good enough for us, and that that's how
it's done.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
And the CBA hasn't because their representation, NFLPA, has it.
And I call he's the NFLPA. He's a player hater
and that's who's been leading them for the last couple
of years. And that's ridiculous, terrible, all right?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
We're just curious about strip clubs?
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Do you still go? Is it still a thing? I
still think it's a thing. I don't go every night.
But when I go to Atlanta, do I stop by
Magic City always?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
We know?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
No, I'm not even starting.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I'm starting. I'm starting to think you just like this
Lloyd Howe guy, I think you ten percent owner. No,
I'm not Tien p sent Odor, But where where are
you on that? And do you have limits here? I
just go out there?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Do you go?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Do you buy the expensive drinks? Do you throw dollar bills?
Do you still enjoy it? Or as only fans? Maybe
change that for you and you don't need to go
to strip clubs?
Speaker 3 (36:16):
All right?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
We want to hear from you. Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. A curious story coming out of the NFLPA,
and I'm just curious is if people are still into
strip clubs? It is the odd couple on a funky
