Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cawen's entertainment report.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
He's on the Bread Show. Well, I'll be damned. Bronnie
James was drafted by the Lakers with the fifty fifth
overall pick in the NBA Draft yesterday after going unselected
in the first round. If he and his dad take
the court together, it will be the first time in
NBA history a father and son have played together. Lebron
Remember was selected number one overall pick in two thousand
(00:22):
and three, but Bronnie only had one really underwhelming freshman
season at usc which is why he was drafted later. Remember,
Bronnie also collapsed on July twenty fifth after suffering cardiac
arresting practice. He was hospitalized and in stable condition before
being discharged three days later. But the health scare really
set back what was supposed to be a ramp up
(00:42):
to his college season. He wasn't able to practice until
late November before suiting up in December to play his
first collegiate game. So all of that obviously comes into
play along with the pressure. But I mean, I guess
if anyone's good to mentor and train him, it's his dad.
He's very successful, but he better he better get up
(01:03):
there and do well, because my.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Gosh, I was watching, so I watched it like live
when it happened. You, Oh my goodness. ESPN was just
like kissing Lebron's But the whole time, it was like, oh,
it's so amazing to watch this amazing moment happen. Because
this I feel like it was the first time they
ever put on TV the second round of the draft.
They never put it on TV.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Oh so so he yeah, obviously, like they.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Knew it was going to happen, so they did a
whole thing about the second round of the draft, Like
nobody cares about the second round of the NBA draft?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
How do you know? It was on that And if
they don't usually do it, you just were the channels.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It was like, oh, they're actually showing this draft, which
is smart because it.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Is a moment. It is a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It'll be the first time a father son duo in
the NBA plays together, which which cool, which is shows
Lebron's longevity, which is amazing. But and then they were like,
I don't even want to hear about nepotism.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I was like, you don't want to hear about it?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It's like, well, they made a point Nepotism is kind
of rampant in the league, especially from like the owners,
Like the owners will hire their son as a GM
you know what I'm saying, and do this, and like
they keep it in the family business. But like it's
definitely nepotism. Like I understand Bronnie didn't have he went
through all that, you know, health struggle and everything like that,
(02:18):
but like if he doesn't, if he's not Lebron's son,
he doesn't get drafted at all.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
In I don't understand though, the nepotism conversation, just because
like if that was your son, you're helping your son.
Like who's gonna say no, you know what I mean?
Like even in Hollywood, it's like if I can help
my kids, I'm going to help my kids. And people
can be bitter about it, but you would do the
same thing if you were in that situation. I personally, though,
wouldn't put this kind of pressure on my kid. I
(02:46):
do think if you're in college and you're playing, you know,
I would like for him to have that experience. So
it is what it is. I am. I am not Lebron,
I am not an NBA player. I I just missed
the height requirement. But yeah, so I don't really have
to fight, but I mean, come out. Of course he's
gonna do that. And this is again I'm so sorry,
Jason Brown. But another short story. A federal jury decided
(03:08):
against the NFL yesterday, ordering the league to pay just
under five billion in damages for artificially inflating the price
of Sunday ticket and this decision, after a month long
trial with the class action lawsuit, could could change the
way fans watched football. The jury now awarded four point
seven billion to a group of plaintiffs that bought the
(03:28):
Sunday ticket package offered by DirecTV and ninety six million
to a separate group of bar owners. Damages in cases
like this, though, can be tripled by law, so the
league could be on the hook for more than fourteen
billion dollars, which would go to these disgruntled subscribers. The
NFL immediately said they planned to appeal. By the way,
but these people are gonna get paid. I mean, obviously
(03:51):
it's gonna be spread between a ton of different people.
But they sued and they won. We'll see what happens
if they overturn it. Though, mech the stallion is to

(04:36):
Was at six Flags Over Georgia and blown away by
the park's food choices, so he headed to this place
called Piedmont Primo's Pizza Ria for a slice of pizza.
He noticed that a slice one slice of cheese pizza
is seventeen bucks, Holy cow, and a slice of pepperoni
is eighteen He calls the prices diabolical, so do I
(04:58):
the plain pizza does call with a choice of chips,
salad or garlic knots for the sign, but it also
comes with an added charge on top of the already
high charge. So there's a one dollar thirty searchars surcharge.
I don't know what they're doing. And then obviously tax
and everything. Basically everything is really freaking expensive. Did they
(05:22):
cover that in the debate last night?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Because I couldn't know they covered their golf scores. I'm like,
we are in trouble y.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I tried to watch and it makes me really depressed. Yeah,
so I was like, I don't know. I already know
both of these gentlemen, so I don't know if I
can handle this.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
First five minutes, I was like this, we are we
are screwed. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. And
then they got into the golf.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I was like, all right, guys, is they say they're handicaps?
