are we happy Wednesday? What's going on? Hump Day? Yeah?
Big time up day, Yeah, humper, let's up big time.
(01:23):
NBA mb NBA play and Action last how about that? Yeah?
Oh boy, I wish we had taps for Scott Shapiro.
I mean, I just uh something, he went. He went
off on Twitter. He talked about what it's like to
be a Minnesota for sports fan, and he literally spoke
(01:43):
last night into existence. You know, Minnesota up at half
eleven points something like that, Yeah, and just falls apart
losing an ot. I mean, I just it's and look,
the t Wolves are at an issue and anybody listening
on the Yalahorne of the Twin Cities k fan our
(02:04):
fine affiliot. They've had issues closing out games. They've lost
a lot of fourth quarter leads, and even with the
Lakers being a willing participant in trying to give away
that game multiple times, whether it was getting inbound passes stolen,
fouling Conley on a three in the corner and him
(02:25):
barely making the first free throw and then sinking the
other two, and they get to overtime, but once they
got to overtime, there was no answers. It's unfortunate, but
at least Rudy Gobert was at home after assaulting a teammate,
and there was another guy who was at home after
punching a wall. So there's that could be. Yeah, two stars,
but never mind all that. Who needs that's forty percent
of your starting five? But who cares? Who needs all that?
(02:46):
You know, when you go into a play in situation,
So you know the Lakers, they move on and uh,
you know Brady's Miami Heat a little bit of a
disappointment last night, I would say a little bit of
an issue there. You're Miami Heat. They went home too. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know that anyone had much hope for them
doing much. To be honest with you, now, you're is
(03:06):
your buddy still on the up? Is your buddy still
on the coaching staff? Chris? Yes. A simple Google search
would have would have helped you find I figured I'd
go straight to the source. Who knows. You can't trust
Google these days, so I figured we would just go
straight there. And then the best part is the Atlanta
by trust Google, bro, it's the user you can't trust. Yeah,
(03:27):
there's some people who don't trust it. You gotta find
the info on the Google. There are some people who
feel like, you know, maybe certain things pop up before others.
You know, well, that would be me at the front
of that line. Yeah, Jonas is Yeah, that's true. That's true.
(03:49):
Um so the U so the NBA play the seven
eight matchups delivered last night. You got an upset in
Atlanta beating Miami and then you had overtime the Lakers
over the Minnesota Timberwolves. So those are going to be
your seven seeds Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta is
going to be taking on the Boston Celtics, and then
you've got the Lakers who are going to be taken
(04:11):
on the Memphis Grizzlies. And so everybody wants to know
is Shannon Sharp going to be an attendance for those games?
And are we going to have a Donnie Brook with
Shannon Sharp and attendance with the Memphis Grizzlies being the
opponent of the LA Lakers. I mean, this is what
we need. This is what the NBA needs. Hashtag this league.
What are we thinking here? You guys excited for these matchups?
(04:33):
Or no? No, look it's last night was fun, all right?
You called it best. This series are too long. There's
not as much drama. Someone's gonna lose about like twenty.
In one of the earlier games, one of the other
teams loses by fifteen, and then then it starts to
kind of whittle down as they get closer to you
know what, Game five, Like that's usually how it works.
(04:54):
I just it's hard to get over the excited about this.
I think the other thing is, as I've gotten more
in a hockey playoff hockey, which is turning up here,
suit is maybe the best playoff sport, so fun, and
so I kind of get wrapped up for that, and
I'm not as it's just it's hard in comparison to
the NBA. It really is. Can I issue as a
(05:14):
question about just the mentality and this would probably piss
some people off who are NBA fanboys, But let me
just ask you if you guys were in a game
and you were getting blown out early, would you just
assume that it was a foregone conclusion you were going
to lose and just mailed in for the rest of
the game. Or is that more of an NBA thing
(05:36):
because it feels like I've been in that type of
game before. I mean, I never stopped playing. I'm I'm
wanted them. I might be I might be a dumb
ass for for being that type of guy, to be honest,
like because we were getting trashed at one point in
my NFL career, But I just always play like I'm
out there. My effort is always going to be there.
(05:58):
You know, I'm not going to be out they're half
assen or at all, we can't win, like like my
whole thing was, and maybe this is horrible too. My
attention turned from trying to win to turn to main mami.
Oh yeah, I like that, Like I like, y'all might
win this game, but I'm taking somebody with me. You know.
(06:22):
That was kind of my mentality, like I was, I was,
I was out hunting, um, I was going to have
something to intrinsically um motivate me to continue to play hard,
and that generally was I was trying to f somebody's
like whole world up during the course of that game. Yeah,
(06:43):
I mean, I mean, look, I always believe we had
a shot. I really did. Didn't matter at what level.
Always always believe we had a shot. And I think
sometimes you've got to you you have to be a
little ignorant to whatever the odds are if you be
able to come back, whether it's in the first half,
second half, down by however many, I mean, you have
(07:04):
to give yourself a shot. And I'm you know, we've
had I used to have some comebacks. You have to
really be a little dumb to think that like you
could do it. I'm being serious, Like, you have to
think different than anyone everyone else. Most people out there
are in that mindset where like they get down by
a budgets like all right, well this isn't gonna go
(07:25):
well that that's the common thought. In order to actually
overcome those circumstances, you have to think different. You have
to be different, and you have right, you have to
be a little dumb to what whatever the history history
tells us, whatever the stats are, and how hard it's
gonna be to do it. You can't look at that
you can't focus on all that, and so I always,
(07:48):
I mean, it didn't matter what game we went into,
I always thought we could win. Like I never went
into a game really thinking myself like, oh man, we're
gonna get our our butts kicked. And even if we did,
like I still thought until the end of the game,
like we had a shot, like we had a shot
of winning that game. I just I think that's the
sort of confidence or maybe ignorance to some degree too.
(08:11):
I think you have to play with in order to
be able to, you know, make some comebacks down by
however much when people don't think you can't know that's
that's correct because it has happened. You know, sometimes you
have some amazing comebacks, I mean improbable comebacks. Hell, my
state championship, the only championship I've ever won in my life.
(08:32):
My freshman year, we were down, yeah, and it was
you might even have heard of Central Bucks. You ever
heard of Central Bucks? Wesque Yeah, CB west Um they
I mean historical program like out of out of the
eastern side of pa Um and they had us did
(08:53):
the rights, and we never gave up and we were
able to to some way. I still to this day,
don't know how we did it. And then on a
fourth fourth and like twenty twenty one, twenty three, we
we get into the end zone and then we do
(09:15):
a two point conversion. Like it's like it wasn't even
good enough that we got in. We didn't play for
the tide to go into overtime. We played for the
win and went for two and pulled it out, and
it like it happens, it like the improbable can happen.
And that's why you always should have the mentality in
the mindset and understanding and the feeling on the inside
(09:39):
that you can get it done. Like nothing, nothing should
feel impossible, Like the impossible is always possible until it's not,
like till till the game is over and you've lost
by thirty forty points, then you realize that we got
our you know, we got our tails handed to each other.
(10:00):
That's what it was. Yeah, but those are the tough
ones though. In the locker room after the game, you're
like a man, could you'd be looking at dudes across
the locker room like you mother ef you look cats laughing,
look at you laughing like id out. When you get
blown out, you know, there's not as much of an
(10:21):
attention to like certain situations or plays when it's close.
That's that's different. That's when I think guys sense even
a little bit more frustration where they're like a brow,
you should have made that play or that mistake, Like
like they're thinking, they're thinking in their mind, that was it.
Like it's human nature, like we love when something goes
(10:42):
wrong to point to one thing and blame that one
thing or that one person. Right. I mean, I'm not
going to get into conspiracy theories here. Um, this could
go on a wild tail here with Jonas because Jonas
is a conspiracy let go. But you know what I'm
talking about Jonas, Like we like to blame it on
one thing. It's buller for us to be able to absorb.
And that goes for anything, right, Like what was the
(11:05):
cause always this? It's like, well it really really wasn't
forgetting the nuances convenient in those moments, like forgetting all
the other things it could be a possibility. No, it's
that one thing and you identified and go with that.
It's like that in sports, it's like that in life.
It's like that in business, Like something's going wrong, what
do we do? Do we did a fire Larry, Well,
why are we firing Larry? Larry chain issues and everything else. Well,
(11:29):
you know, Larry hasn't really been good with his TPS reports,
and like he's kind of getting long in the tooth.
I just look, the guy's got bad breath too. He's
got bad breath. It's just's just can Larry. And it's
like all right, all right, how what's the messaging here?
Like how are gonna how are we gonna portray this? Okay,
goude we got our planet where like that's just how
it works. Like poor Larry gets can because it's just
(11:52):
the easier path to make a change. And everyone's like
all the shareholders and all the other people like, oh
they made a charier, they got rid of Larry. Well,
Larry is really in flu sure he was messing things up.
So there we go. Yeah, I don't even want to
get into other topics that we've gone over three years ago,
where we just put into one thing that was you know,
you know, the cause of everything. Well, that's why I
(12:12):
hate the term when people throw out the term bust
or all that guy was a failure. It's like, hold
on a second. In every walk of life, you need
a supporting cast to get through just about anything. Like
what your supporting cast is like is a heavy indicator
into where how much success you're going to have. But
when it comes to certain people in sports, no, that
(12:33):
doesn't apply anymore. No, no, No, it's that one person.
It's not the surroundings, it's not where they come from,
it's not the multiple coaching changes, it's not any it's
not the injuries or lack of talent around him. It's
that one thing. And it's that one guy's fault. That's
why I can't stand it, like we want to forget
what where nuance is applicable in certain moments, And I
can't stand the whole bust talk and all the other
(12:55):
conversation that comes along. And honestly, like so Anthony Richardson,
who quarterback out of Florida, I have no idea where
he'll go. And I've told you guys, like I think
he's got the highest ceiling, Like I think he could
be a superstar. And I'll just say this, if he's not,
unless he's just really negligent and doesn't work hard and
(13:16):
isn't focused and all that, it's not gonna be on
him that that kid oozes with nobility. It's gonna be
the situation, the circumstance he ends up in. If he
goes to a bad franchise, that's gonna be largely more
of an impact on him not becoming a superstar because
he has it all, he really does. And if they
(13:39):
are able to develop him and put the right piece
around him, that dude's gonna flourish in the NFL. But
I you get concerned when you look at some of
the teams that potentially are going to draft him. And
I had a conversation with someone last night about one
particular franchise who I think we would always say needs
(13:59):
a quarterback and they might not take a quarterback and
the reasonings behind that, and my mind, I literally was like,
you've got to be kidding me. And then I thought
was thinking in my head, you know what, I hope
they don't because that's just a bad organization. Like I
hope that NFL organization doesn't take the guy who I
think is gonna go there, because they're gonna mess up
(14:20):
his career. They're literally gonna ruin this kid's career if
they take one. So go ahead, it might be a
surprise to people if it ends up happening and that's
how it plays out, don't take one. Because they've got
some people who are in the decision making spots that,
to be quite honest, like they think way too highly
of themselves and what they're gonna be capable of doing
in this league. That's uh yeah, And but they do
(14:43):
want to take that. No, I don't, because it's it's
you could connect enough dots to figure that. I think
I already know. I think I have, I have a
good guess take that. I feel confident. I'll put it
this way it is. It became a trend, you know.
I pay attention to some the mock drafts different people do,
and I was like, man, what the what the heck's
(15:05):
going on now? I've seen like multiple mock drafts where
this team that should be taking a quarterback isn't taking
a quarterback. And so I sort of reached out some
folks and they're like, no, there's there's a lot of
a lot of things going on there, Like there's a
there's a lot of there. There's could be some things
that happened after the draft that surprised people. Oh wow,

All right, So, if you've listened to this show over
the past couple of months, you know that there is
a legend that was born off a picture of somebody
(18:01):
urinating in a parking lot that we had no idea
who it was off the phone. Yeah no, not not
a sink in sight to wash his hands afterwards, Yeah,
I have something covered everything up. And then we were
just led to believe that we should know who this
person is because Lee dropped the bombshell on us said, oh,
(18:24):
by the way, that's Todd. And so we don't know
what Todd's last name. We don't want to know Todd's
last name. But Todd is joining us here in studio.
Todd Buddy who attends every Jimmy Buffett concert hey in
and around the Greater Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas
anywhere from Las Vegas to San Diego. I would love
(18:46):
to attend the concerts. But before I start, I wanted
to bring everybody here in the studio a gift. I
got all, uh everybody behind the scenes. A dunk Ruse dipper,
the classic vanilla. This is dunks dipper. What a gentleman.
And so you don't need to worry about me washing
(19:07):
my hands after I pee. It is sealed. Listen, we
are good to go. So we've got dunk a Ruse.
I mean only eighteen grams of sugar. Perfect. I mean,
this is great. Yeah, that's odd. You have to do this.
Jonas doesn't really eat food. This is wonderful stuff. So
he does not eat the food. Yeah, how do you
intake calorie? I snort it that he eats. He eats
(19:30):
like a bell pepper to Todd goes out back with
the rabbits. By all means, By all means, who wants
to ask the first question? I was gonna say that.
I feel like there's a lot of pressure. I've got
so many questions for you. Let's let's start a revolved
around Lee the lap. You're proud, that's perfect, that's perfect.
Let me kick it off by asking you this. Because
(19:51):
we've heard Lee's side of how your friendship blossomed. I'm
more curious to hear you take us back to when
you first met Lee and how that friendship really came around.
All right, I'll do this under thirty seconds. So I
moved into a place next to him that was under construction,
that used to be owned by nuns and the Catholic church.
They were under construction. I was there without any floors,
(20:15):
and I was living in a hole. But I decided
to hang out next door, which was his parents spot,
which he lived in the backhouse, And I met his father,
befriended him, and I was friends with him for a
couple of days. Then I finally met Lee. He goes,
go outside, my son's just showing up. Go meet Lee.
And so I went outside. He goes, he's in this car.
(20:37):
I found the car. Knock on the window and I go, hey,
I'm your neighbor, and he locked the door and he
goes And so Lee, Lee did not like me for
a good couple weeks. But you know, weeks after you
(20:58):
see my smile in the in my eye, you know,
we made friends. Where is the relationship now? How much
has it blossomed since that moment in time of the
door locking? Now the door clearly is unlocked. Are you
in the car or like, what would say that the
(21:21):
windows unlocked? The door is still locked, the window is unlocked? No? No, Um,
well we we definitely go have fun with some concerts. Um.
Mainly he uses me as a as a beautiful scapegoat.
I'm probably the prettiest scapegoat you've ever met in your
entire life. Oh, I mean, you guys do look very similar,
(21:44):
Like there's a lot of similarities between you and Le
just long long hair, long dark hair, very very conditioned,
and you guys like to go out and get after it.
I would ask you this, how many how many times
would you say, if you had to guess, have you
and Lee hung out and not drank? Sorry? Can you
(22:07):
reframe that question? That doesn't need any answer. Okay, have
you and Lee drank every time you've gotten together? No? No,
There's definitely been times a we have looked at for
each other. I've had some health complications in the past.
He's been a great friend. He is he is one
of my best friends. He's my best friend. He's taking
(22:27):
care of me. He is a great person. And I know, yes,
yes said jokes aside. I know that you guys, thank you.
I know you guys love him as well here in
the studio. He is a great person. Yeah. Can you
guys each give me one positive thing about let Lapp?
First off, I would say this Lee is. I think
(22:49):
Lee's up there for the most interesting person. I know.
There's never a time I've spoken to Lee that he
hasn't shared something that I never thought he really is. Like,
what was the commercial with the most interesting man? It's Lee?
The Dosaki's commercial back to the day. Yeah, yeah, Lee?
(23:10):
Uh that that is something about Lee and he always
I'll give him another compliment. The conversation could take any
turn in any direction, and Lee has some sort of
experience in whatever it is, whether it's yeah, so there's
this new Indian restaurant that opened up. Oh yeah, my
buddy owned an Indian restaurant and we were in a
movie together. Wait what Like, there's just always something that
(23:32):
is attached to Lee and every story that he comes
up with. He's a fine human being. That lead to
lab LeVar. You got any compliments for him? No, go ahead,
Lee shared a little bit with us. What you do um.
I want to I want to hear if you had
one go to for a karaoke song, what would that
(23:56):
song be? Okay, well, earlier tonight actually sang uh Sex
on Fire by kings Leon. I sing a christ to
Night at two different locations. Can you give us uh?
I don't know. Am I legally allowed to sing you
the whole song? Are you a touring karaoke singer? Did
(24:17):
you go on a tour tonight? No? No, but I
am the lead at one bar and I meet other
people and they always asked me to come and visit
other their other bars because they're always wanting to have
the chance to come to our spot. And you know,
fill in you know, it's it's uh, it's it's quite
open to see, like if people want to take to
(24:43):
fill that void. What's the most the most heartbroken You've
seen lee following a Packers loss. Every time I watch
a game with Leta Lab, I've never seen him. I've
never seen a man yell at his much. They're so
hard to get out of the room because because because
(25:07):
bad exactly exactly I did not know. She she'll come,
she'll come, bring in treats and were thank you, thank
you so much treats taught. Oh no, just like you know,
like a shark, shark board and blood. Oh my gosh,
(25:28):
if she comes in when they miss a field goal,
Mom's getting that board thrown at her face. I tell
you what, Elie are you Will Farrell from wedding crashers?
You allowed her to grab meat low. I don't know
what she's doing back there, so she just she's dropping
food off. What does that have to do with the
packers special teams unit melting down here? Okay, that's that's nice.
(25:51):
What a great what a great guy? Anything else about
Lee you want to drop on us? Here? Are we
gonna let Todd off the hook? We need to hear him.
It's a little bit anything you want. Um. Another thing
about lead a lap is just about how kind? Oh god, Jesus,
I don't know where that's called. Oh my god. Yeah.
(26:12):
Let's let's stay away from wherever Todd's take us. There
is a mountain in Montana, right Todd? I neither I
would like to know. I would it needs to tell
(26:33):
us about Jimmy Buffett. Why do you like Jimmy Buffet
so much? Well, it's not about liking Jimmy Buffett more
so as in being born into the Jimmy Buffett circle
of life. So how does that happen? How does that happen?
How does that happen? Well? I was born and uh
(26:55):
in the ninety and I was taken to a concert
a young age and forced upon Jimmy Buffett. No, Jimmy
buff was forced upon me. I am not in any
bad way. I don't take it easy. So I have
been a Jimmy Jimmy buff fan my whole life. My
(27:16):
dad has him and his brothers. Um, they would literally
wear their their thing. My my dad, he has couple brothers.
They would wear um, what are they called cone heads?
Back when cone heads was popular the movie they would
wear cone heads and Jimmy Buffett concerts and get on
camera because of their outfits, and so that would create
(27:39):
content for them and they would get backstage and then
they would bring our whole family back there and we
would have a bunch of fun. But ever since then,
you know, I've just always been such a fan. And
I love the music. It's it's family friendly, it's heartfelt.
I mean, can you give me a bad reason to
(28:01):
not like Jimmy Buffett? It sucks Todd. Todd, do you
do you have a girlfriend? Have you ever had a girlfriend?
I have and I do? That was a tapp it,
I don't. I don't know if I was convinced that,
but ok okay, I had to argue. I did have
to think about it. It's Lee. Yeah, I know, let's
(28:25):

In case you missed this, we've been totally Hey morning, bread,
Martin LeVar, Martin, Hey, Todd, Martin, Todd Todd. Good evening, guys, Todd, guys.
(35:09):
In case you missed this, we've talked about it in
a bunch this uh well, just at the beginning of
this MLB season about the shot clock, the pitch cloth
cutting down on MLB games more than twenty minutes on average. Well,
good news for you. If you're a fan at the game,
you no longer have to get your last beer, and
before the bottom of the seventh you have until the
end of the eighth. That is for the Brewers and Diamondbacks,
(35:30):
other teams coming soon because they are trying to make
up for that lost revenue with the quaking game. Think
about that, did they they were like, well, the games
will be faster, be better for TV ratings, and you
will get more revenue there. It's like, yeah, pal, those
eighteen dollars beers. Yeah, that those aren't being sold then,
because you're you're forty five minutes faster than you used
(35:51):
to be. And plus right before they do last call,
that's when there's a big surge on beer purchases. So
I would imagine they've lost already thousands of thousands of
dollars analysts the concession. Yeah, are they doing eighth inning
at Dodger Stadium or still? Yeah? Right, a decision for
the last I mean, isn't he controlling that? Well? I
(36:12):
think you can get a beer actually in the ninth inning.
According to Gavin Newsom, you just got to have an
n ninety five on. I believe that's the rules. I
could have that wrong. I just thought he controlled all
things in California. Is that not true? That is true? Q? Yes,
including mask usage. Yeah, you know, and who uses them?
Who doesn't? Right? What else we got leave and where
(36:35):
you use that guys. Another team that might be losing
out on revenue is the Phillies. They had one dollar
hot Dog Night, which is always a good time. Unfortunately,
they lost eight to four to the Miami Marlins, which
resulted in hot dogs and rappers and trash being thrown
in the stands onto the field. Fights in the stands. Yeah,
not a good time there for the Phillies fans. Why
(36:56):
are people hating on the Marlins? The Marlins actually pretty
good this year because it's im I'm going to see
him play Saturday, are you? I mean, yeah, you have
to take the kids. Whole family night deal. It should
be fun. I mean you know, I went to it. Actually,
I went to a one dollar a hot dog night
at a Dodger stadium and the lines were insane because
people would just be doing pyramids of hot dogs on trays.
(37:19):
There was no limits. I think there was like ten
maybe ten to twenty limit. It was insane. Can I
ask this? The quality of those hot dogs have to
be awful for gotta be. Yeah, A dollar hot dog
night means we have too many. I'm the common man
in this conversation. I would be destroying those hot dogs.
What do you put up and mustard about? You do
(37:41):
do ketchup and mustard up and mustard? Have you ever
had just a log as it got burnt on it,
like as long as it shows like grill burns on it,
like like burnt, like Chris Burnt. I'm I'm all the
way in you ever had one with just no toppings whatsoever,
just a dog in a bun. I'm telling you, man,
very underrated, very off of the grill. It's got to
(38:01):
be off of the grill. Yeah, I'm not a boiling
pot water. No, you got a boiling and beer first
and then you put it on the grill. Okay, Okay,
well there I'm gonna try it at that's the way
you've been. Oh are you talking about something that you
gave out on h Burtos? So that was the lastreet dog,
but still regular, like a regular hot dogs. I always
(38:21):
boil them in beer first and then put them on
the grin. You realized, Berto, because you gave up Twitter
that you gave out, you gave up on giving great
recipes out for you know, you're what is a segment
called you do with Ben Maller cooking with I mean yeah,
and he gives a full breakdown on how to do
everything each week and because he gave up Twitter because
the Dodgers having fired Dave Roberts, now nobody knows how
(38:43):
to make anything anymore. Oh wait, still that's still going on. Yeah,
he hasn't been one. It's a new season. Yeah, I
t it's a new season. Well can I ask you this?
Have you been a little more positive? Has your life
been a little bit? It seems like it's literally yeah yeah, yeah.
Like I had a buddy you who dropped so all
social media and he's like, yeah, it's actually really nice.
(39:05):
I don't know, worry about anything. Yeah, it's too bad.
But now people don't know how to make Hollywood hot dogs.
Colberto didn't dog. I've been wearing a waiste trainer trying
to drop weight. You know that that makes you feel
better too? Que is that working? It is? What's a
(39:25):
waiste trainer? Is that just? I think it tightens around
your waist to girdle. It doesn't it really for me?
It forces you, forces me to fix my posture. I
think horse it is that what it is? It's not
quite like a corset, but it's it's it's kind of
the same premise. It's kind of the same premise. It
just doesn't allow you to just let your you know,
(39:48):
fat go everywhere, so you have to hold it you know,
like you got to hold it in a to a
certain place. And does it work if the thing that
you're wearing is doing it for you? Say? Does it
work if like the band or whatever you're wearing is
doing it for you? You know, like, how does that
help your body or train your body? I think it
trains you to hold it a certain way, like even
(40:12):
though like when you take it off, it comes rushing
out again. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, but if you
do it long enough, it starts to kind of you know,
stay in place. You look great, Thanks buddy. Fox Sports

trade that could be an indicator. Is what happened? Next,

Big time up day, Yeah, humper, let's up big time.
(01:23):
NBA mb NBA play and Action last how about that? Yeah?
Oh boy, I wish we had taps for Scott Shapiro.
I mean, I just uh something, he went. He went
off on Twitter. He talked about what it's like to
be a Minnesota for sports fan, and he literally spoke
(01:43):
last night into existence. You know, Minnesota up at half
eleven points something like that, Yeah, and just falls apart
losing an ot. I mean, I just it's and look,
the t Wolves are at an issue and anybody listening
on the Yalahorne of the Twin Cities k fan our
(02:04):
fine affiliot. They've had issues closing out games. They've lost
a lot of fourth quarter leads, and even with the
Lakers being a willing participant in trying to give away
that game multiple times, whether it was getting inbound passes stolen,
fouling Conley on a three in the corner and him
(02:25):
barely making the first free throw and then sinking the
other two, and they get to overtime, but once they
got to overtime, there was no answers. It's unfortunate, but
at least Rudy Gobert was at home after assaulting a teammate,
and there was another guy who was at home after
punching a wall. So there's that could be. Yeah, two stars,
but never mind all that. Who needs that's forty percent
of your starting five? But who cares? Who needs all that?
(02:46):
You know, when you go into a play in situation,
So you know the Lakers, they move on and uh,
you know Brady's Miami Heat a little bit of a
disappointment last night, I would say a little bit of
an issue there. You're Miami Heat. They went home too. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know that anyone had much hope for them
doing much. To be honest with you, now, you're is
(03:06):
your buddy still on the up? Is your buddy still
on the coaching staff? Chris? Yes. A simple Google search
would have would have helped you find I figured I'd
go straight to the source. Who knows. You can't trust
Google these days, so I figured we would just go
straight there. And then the best part is the Atlanta
by trust Google, bro, it's the user you can't trust. Yeah,
(03:27):
there's some people who don't trust it. You gotta find
the info on the Google. There are some people who
feel like, you know, maybe certain things pop up before others.
You know, well, that would be me at the front
of that line. Yeah, Jonas is Yeah, that's true. That's true.
(03:49):
Um so the U so the NBA play the seven
eight matchups delivered last night. You got an upset in
Atlanta beating Miami and then you had overtime the Lakers
over the Minnesota Timberwolves. So those are going to be
your seven seeds Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta is
going to be taking on the Boston Celtics, and then
you've got the Lakers who are going to be taken
(04:11):
on the Memphis Grizzlies. And so everybody wants to know
is Shannon Sharp going to be an attendance for those games?
And are we going to have a Donnie Brook with
Shannon Sharp and attendance with the Memphis Grizzlies being the
opponent of the LA Lakers. I mean, this is what
we need. This is what the NBA needs. Hashtag this league.
What are we thinking here? You guys excited for these matchups?
(04:33):
Or no? No, look it's last night was fun, all right?
You called it best. This series are too long. There's
not as much drama. Someone's gonna lose about like twenty.
In one of the earlier games, one of the other
teams loses by fifteen, and then then it starts to
kind of whittle down as they get closer to you
know what, Game five, Like that's usually how it works.
(04:54):
I just it's hard to get over the excited about this.
I think the other thing is, as I've gotten more
in a hockey playoff hockey, which is turning up here,
suit is maybe the best playoff sport, so fun, and
so I kind of get wrapped up for that, and
I'm not as it's just it's hard in comparison to
the NBA. It really is. Can I issue as a
(05:14):
question about just the mentality and this would probably piss
some people off who are NBA fanboys, But let me
just ask you if you guys were in a game
and you were getting blown out early, would you just
assume that it was a foregone conclusion you were going
to lose and just mailed in for the rest of
the game. Or is that more of an NBA thing
(05:36):
because it feels like I've been in that type of
game before. I mean, I never stopped playing. I'm I'm
wanted them. I might be I might be a dumb
ass for for being that type of guy, to be honest,
like because we were getting trashed at one point in
my NFL career, But I just always play like I'm
out there. My effort is always going to be there.
(05:58):
You know, I'm not going to be out they're half
assen or at all, we can't win, like like my
whole thing was, and maybe this is horrible too. My
attention turned from trying to win to turn to main mami.
Oh yeah, I like that, Like I like, y'all might
win this game, but I'm taking somebody with me. You know.
(06:22):
That was kind of my mentality, like I was, I was,
I was out hunting, um, I was going to have
something to intrinsically um motivate me to continue to play hard,
and that generally was I was trying to f somebody's
like whole world up during the course of that game. Yeah,
(06:43):
I mean, I mean, look, I always believe we had
a shot. I really did. Didn't matter at what level.
Always always believe we had a shot. And I think
sometimes you've got to you you have to be a
little ignorant to whatever the odds are if you be
able to come back, whether it's in the first half,
second half, down by however many, I mean, you have
(07:04):
to give yourself a shot. And I'm you know, we've
had I used to have some comebacks. You have to
really be a little dumb to think that like you
could do it. I'm being serious, Like, you have to
think different than anyone everyone else. Most people out there
are in that mindset where like they get down by
a budgets like all right, well this isn't gonna go
(07:25):
well that that's the common thought. In order to actually
overcome those circumstances, you have to think different. You have
to be different, and you have right, you have to
be a little dumb to what whatever the history history
tells us, whatever the stats are, and how hard it's
gonna be to do it. You can't look at that
you can't focus on all that, and so I always,
(07:48):
I mean, it didn't matter what game we went into,
I always thought we could win. Like I never went
into a game really thinking myself like, oh man, we're
gonna get our our butts kicked. And even if we did,
like I still thought until the end of the game,
like we had a shot, like we had a shot
of winning that game. I just I think that's the
sort of confidence or maybe ignorance to some degree too.
(08:11):
I think you have to play with in order to
be able to, you know, make some comebacks down by
however much when people don't think you can't know that's
that's correct because it has happened. You know, sometimes you
have some amazing comebacks, I mean improbable comebacks. Hell, my
state championship, the only championship I've ever won in my life.
(08:32):
My freshman year, we were down, yeah, and it was
you might even have heard of Central Bucks. You ever
heard of Central Bucks? Wesque Yeah, CB west Um they
I mean historical program like out of out of the
eastern side of pa Um and they had us did
(08:53):
the rights, and we never gave up and we were
able to to some way. I still to this day,
don't know how we did it. And then on a
fourth fourth and like twenty twenty one, twenty three, we
we get into the end zone and then we do
(09:15):
a two point conversion. Like it's like it wasn't even
good enough that we got in. We didn't play for
the tide to go into overtime. We played for the
win and went for two and pulled it out, and
it like it happens, it like the improbable can happen.
And that's why you always should have the mentality in
the mindset and understanding and the feeling on the inside
(09:39):
that you can get it done. Like nothing, nothing should
feel impossible, Like the impossible is always possible until it's not,
like till till the game is over and you've lost
by thirty forty points, then you realize that we got
our you know, we got our tails handed to each other.
(10:00):
That's what it was. Yeah, but those are the tough
ones though. In the locker room after the game, you're
like a man, could you'd be looking at dudes across
the locker room like you mother ef you look cats laughing,
look at you laughing like id out. When you get
blown out, you know, there's not as much of an
(10:21):
attention to like certain situations or plays when it's close.
That's that's different. That's when I think guys sense even
a little bit more frustration where they're like a brow,
you should have made that play or that mistake, Like
like they're thinking, they're thinking in their mind, that was it.
Like it's human nature, like we love when something goes
(10:42):
wrong to point to one thing and blame that one
thing or that one person. Right. I mean, I'm not
going to get into conspiracy theories here. Um, this could
go on a wild tail here with Jonas because Jonas
is a conspiracy let go. But you know what I'm
talking about Jonas, Like we like to blame it on
one thing. It's buller for us to be able to absorb.
And that goes for anything, right, Like what was the
(11:05):
cause always this? It's like, well it really really wasn't
forgetting the nuances convenient in those moments, like forgetting all
the other things it could be a possibility. No, it's
that one thing and you identified and go with that.
It's like that in sports, it's like that in life.
It's like that in business, Like something's going wrong, what
do we do? Do we did a fire Larry, Well,
why are we firing Larry? Larry chain issues and everything else. Well,
(11:29):
you know, Larry hasn't really been good with his TPS reports,
and like he's kind of getting long in the tooth.
I just look, the guy's got bad breath too. He's
got bad breath. It's just's just can Larry. And it's
like all right, all right, how what's the messaging here?
Like how are gonna how are we gonna portray this? Okay,
goude we got our planet where like that's just how
it works. Like poor Larry gets can because it's just
(11:52):
the easier path to make a change. And everyone's like
all the shareholders and all the other people like, oh
they made a charier, they got rid of Larry. Well,
Larry is really in flu sure he was messing things up.
So there we go. Yeah, I don't even want to
get into other topics that we've gone over three years ago,
where we just put into one thing that was you know,
you know, the cause of everything. Well, that's why I
(12:12):
hate the term when people throw out the term bust
or all that guy was a failure. It's like, hold
on a second. In every walk of life, you need
a supporting cast to get through just about anything. Like
what your supporting cast is like is a heavy indicator
into where how much success you're going to have. But
when it comes to certain people in sports, no, that
(12:33):
doesn't apply anymore. No, no, No, it's that one person.
It's not the surroundings, it's not where they come from,
it's not the multiple coaching changes, it's not any it's
not the injuries or lack of talent around him. It's
that one thing. And it's that one guy's fault. That's
why I can't stand it, like we want to forget
what where nuance is applicable in certain moments, And I
can't stand the whole bust talk and all the other
(12:55):
conversation that comes along. And honestly, like so Anthony Richardson,
who quarterback out of Florida, I have no idea where
he'll go. And I've told you guys, like I think
he's got the highest ceiling, Like I think he could
be a superstar. And I'll just say this, if he's not,
unless he's just really negligent and doesn't work hard and
(13:16):
isn't focused and all that, it's not gonna be on
him that that kid oozes with nobility. It's gonna be
the situation, the circumstance he ends up in. If he
goes to a bad franchise, that's gonna be largely more
of an impact on him not becoming a superstar because
he has it all, he really does. And if they
(13:39):
are able to develop him and put the right piece
around him, that dude's gonna flourish in the NFL. But
I you get concerned when you look at some of
the teams that potentially are going to draft him. And
I had a conversation with someone last night about one
particular franchise who I think we would always say needs
(13:59):
a quarterback and they might not take a quarterback and
the reasonings behind that, and my mind, I literally was like,
you've got to be kidding me. And then I thought
was thinking in my head, you know what, I hope
they don't because that's just a bad organization. Like I
hope that NFL organization doesn't take the guy who I
think is gonna go there, because they're gonna mess up
(14:20):
his career. They're literally gonna ruin this kid's career if
they take one. So go ahead, it might be a
surprise to people if it ends up happening and that's
how it plays out, don't take one. Because they've got
some people who are in the decision making spots that,
to be quite honest, like they think way too highly
of themselves and what they're gonna be capable of doing
in this league. That's uh yeah, And but they do
(14:43):
want to take that. No, I don't, because it's it's
you could connect enough dots to figure that. I think
I already know. I think I have, I have a
good guess take that. I feel confident. I'll put it
this way it is. It became a trend, you know.
I pay attention to some the mock drafts different people do,
and I was like, man, what the what the heck's
(15:05):
going on now? I've seen like multiple mock drafts where
this team that should be taking a quarterback isn't taking
a quarterback. And so I sort of reached out some
folks and they're like, no, there's there's a lot of
a lot of things going on there, Like there's a
there's a lot of there. There's could be some things
that happened after the draft that surprised people. Oh wow,
interesting it is two pros and a cup of Joe,

All right, So, if you've listened to this show over
the past couple of months, you know that there is
a legend that was born off a picture of somebody
(18:01):
urinating in a parking lot that we had no idea
who it was off the phone. Yeah no, not not
a sink in sight to wash his hands afterwards, Yeah,
I have something covered everything up. And then we were
just led to believe that we should know who this
person is because Lee dropped the bombshell on us said, oh,
(18:24):
by the way, that's Todd. And so we don't know
what Todd's last name. We don't want to know Todd's
last name. But Todd is joining us here in studio.
Todd Buddy who attends every Jimmy Buffett concert hey in
and around the Greater Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas
anywhere from Las Vegas to San Diego. I would love
(18:46):
to attend the concerts. But before I start, I wanted
to bring everybody here in the studio a gift. I
got all, uh everybody behind the scenes. A dunk Ruse dipper,
the classic vanilla. This is dunks dipper. What a gentleman.
And so you don't need to worry about me washing
(19:07):
my hands after I pee. It is sealed. Listen, we
are good to go. So we've got dunk a Ruse.
I mean only eighteen grams of sugar. Perfect. I mean,
this is great. Yeah, that's odd. You have to do this.
Jonas doesn't really eat food. This is wonderful stuff. So
he does not eat the food. Yeah, how do you
intake calorie? I snort it that he eats. He eats
(19:30):
like a bell pepper to Todd goes out back with
the rabbits. By all means, By all means, who wants
to ask the first question? I was gonna say that.
I feel like there's a lot of pressure. I've got
so many questions for you. Let's let's start a revolved
around Lee the lap. You're proud, that's perfect, that's perfect.
Let me kick it off by asking you this. Because
(19:51):
we've heard Lee's side of how your friendship blossomed. I'm
more curious to hear you take us back to when
you first met Lee and how that friendship really came around.
All right, I'll do this under thirty seconds. So I
moved into a place next to him that was under construction,
that used to be owned by nuns and the Catholic church.
They were under construction. I was there without any floors,
(20:15):
and I was living in a hole. But I decided
to hang out next door, which was his parents spot,
which he lived in the backhouse, And I met his father,
befriended him, and I was friends with him for a
couple of days. Then I finally met Lee. He goes,
go outside, my son's just showing up. Go meet Lee.
And so I went outside. He goes, he's in this car.
(20:37):
I found the car. Knock on the window and I go, hey,
I'm your neighbor, and he locked the door and he
goes And so Lee, Lee did not like me for
a good couple weeks. But you know, weeks after you
(20:58):
see my smile in the in my eye, you know,
we made friends. Where is the relationship now? How much
has it blossomed since that moment in time of the
door locking? Now the door clearly is unlocked. Are you
in the car or like, what would say that the
(21:21):
windows unlocked? The door is still locked, the window is unlocked? No? No, Um,
well we we definitely go have fun with some concerts. Um.
Mainly he uses me as a as a beautiful scapegoat.
I'm probably the prettiest scapegoat you've ever met in your
entire life. Oh, I mean, you guys do look very similar,
(21:44):
Like there's a lot of similarities between you and Le
just long long hair, long dark hair, very very conditioned,
and you guys like to go out and get after it.
I would ask you this, how many how many times
would you say, if you had to guess, have you
and Lee hung out and not drank? Sorry? Can you
(22:07):
reframe that question? That doesn't need any answer. Okay, have
you and Lee drank every time you've gotten together? No? No,
There's definitely been times a we have looked at for
each other. I've had some health complications in the past.
He's been a great friend. He is he is one
of my best friends. He's my best friend. He's taking
(22:27):
care of me. He is a great person. And I know, yes,
yes said jokes aside. I know that you guys, thank you.
I know you guys love him as well here in
the studio. He is a great person. Yeah. Can you
guys each give me one positive thing about let Lapp?
First off, I would say this Lee is. I think
(22:49):
Lee's up there for the most interesting person. I know.
There's never a time I've spoken to Lee that he
hasn't shared something that I never thought he really is. Like,
what was the commercial with the most interesting man? It's Lee?
The Dosaki's commercial back to the day. Yeah, yeah, Lee?
(23:10):
Uh that that is something about Lee and he always
I'll give him another compliment. The conversation could take any
turn in any direction, and Lee has some sort of
experience in whatever it is, whether it's yeah, so there's
this new Indian restaurant that opened up. Oh yeah, my
buddy owned an Indian restaurant and we were in a
movie together. Wait what Like, there's just always something that
(23:32):
is attached to Lee and every story that he comes
up with. He's a fine human being. That lead to
lab LeVar. You got any compliments for him? No, go ahead,
Lee shared a little bit with us. What you do um.
I want to I want to hear if you had
one go to for a karaoke song, what would that
(23:56):
song be? Okay, well, earlier tonight actually sang uh Sex
on Fire by kings Leon. I sing a christ to
Night at two different locations. Can you give us uh?
I don't know. Am I legally allowed to sing you
the whole song? Are you a touring karaoke singer? Did
(24:17):
you go on a tour tonight? No? No, but I
am the lead at one bar and I meet other
people and they always asked me to come and visit
other their other bars because they're always wanting to have
the chance to come to our spot. And you know,
fill in you know, it's it's uh, it's it's quite
open to see, like if people want to take to
(24:43):
fill that void. What's the most the most heartbroken You've
seen lee following a Packers loss. Every time I watch
a game with Leta Lab, I've never seen him. I've
never seen a man yell at his much. They're so
hard to get out of the room because because because
(25:07):
bad exactly exactly I did not know. She she'll come,
she'll come, bring in treats and were thank you, thank
you so much treats taught. Oh no, just like you know,
like a shark, shark board and blood. Oh my gosh,
(25:28):
if she comes in when they miss a field goal,
Mom's getting that board thrown at her face. I tell
you what, Elie are you Will Farrell from wedding crashers?
You allowed her to grab meat low. I don't know
what she's doing back there, so she just she's dropping
food off. What does that have to do with the
packers special teams unit melting down here? Okay, that's that's nice.
(25:51):
What a great what a great guy? Anything else about
Lee you want to drop on us? Here? Are we
gonna let Todd off the hook? We need to hear him.
It's a little bit anything you want. Um. Another thing
about lead a lap is just about how kind? Oh god, Jesus,
I don't know where that's called. Oh my god. Yeah.
(26:12):
Let's let's stay away from wherever Todd's take us. There
is a mountain in Montana, right Todd? I neither I
would like to know. I would it needs to tell
(26:33):
us about Jimmy Buffett. Why do you like Jimmy Buffet
so much? Well, it's not about liking Jimmy Buffett more
so as in being born into the Jimmy Buffett circle
of life. So how does that happen? How does that happen?
How does that happen? Well? I was born and uh
(26:55):
in the ninety and I was taken to a concert
a young age and forced upon Jimmy Buffett. No, Jimmy
buff was forced upon me. I am not in any
bad way. I don't take it easy. So I have
been a Jimmy Jimmy buff fan my whole life. My
(27:16):
dad has him and his brothers. Um, they would literally
wear their their thing. My my dad, he has couple brothers.
They would wear um, what are they called cone heads?
Back when cone heads was popular the movie they would
wear cone heads and Jimmy Buffett concerts and get on
camera because of their outfits, and so that would create
(27:39):
content for them and they would get backstage and then
they would bring our whole family back there and we
would have a bunch of fun. But ever since then,
you know, I've just always been such a fan. And
I love the music. It's it's family friendly, it's heartfelt.
I mean, can you give me a bad reason to
(28:01):
not like Jimmy Buffett? It sucks Todd. Todd, do you
do you have a girlfriend? Have you ever had a girlfriend?
I have and I do? That was a tapp it,
I don't. I don't know if I was convinced that,
but ok okay, I had to argue. I did have
to think about it. It's Lee. Yeah, I know, let's
(28:25):
not get on Lee's do you not get me on? Well,
we're not going to get on. We are going to
stay off of Lee's girlfriend. A wonderful person. But you
said you were a great You said you were a
great alibi for Lee to get out of the house.
Is Lee a great alibi for you to get out
of the house? Oh no? See, that's that's my issue
(28:47):
is I don't need alibis with my lifestyles. So that's
why he utilizes me as that. Has anybody told you,
Todd that you sound like Harry Carey? But I ever
told you that you kind of do? It always plays
(29:11):
well cover. I'll tell you what where did you get
that fresh mic condom from? It's my first time in
the studio, everybody, I'm very new. I've never spoken into
a microphone and I am actually true, funny, terrified right now? Okay, Well,
you didn't curse. I'm new. Um, all right, so what
(29:36):
was the first mike he spoken? So we've got to
get to break here momentarily. But do you want to
send us off with a little karaoke? Todd the great
time buddy joining us here? Absolutely? You guys like, uh,
(29:57):
can I yell sex on fire? I don't want to
break any microphones. I don't want to. I asked, should
you do that? Or should you do a Jimmy Buffett song?
Do you think? What's more? I'm just asking? He's asking,
all right, So let's go. So Kings of Leon, Doubles
of Leon or Jimmy Buffett Kings of Leon? Which Doubles
(30:18):
is a bad band? They're gonna be joining us here?
Oh there it is, all right, I'll lean back from it.
Oh yeah, yeah, don't make it. So how don't you
(30:39):
watch it? We're going to break Box Voice Radio. We're
gonna go out. Thank you Lee for bringing me in.

In case you missed this, we've been totally Hey morning, bread,
Martin LeVar, Martin, Hey, Todd, Martin, Todd Todd. Good evening, guys, Todd, guys.
(35:09):
In case you missed this, we've talked about it in
a bunch this uh well, just at the beginning of
this MLB season about the shot clock, the pitch cloth
cutting down on MLB games more than twenty minutes on average. Well,
good news for you. If you're a fan at the game,
you no longer have to get your last beer, and
before the bottom of the seventh you have until the
end of the eighth. That is for the Brewers and Diamondbacks,
(35:30):
other teams coming soon because they are trying to make
up for that lost revenue with the quaking game. Think
about that, did they they were like, well, the games
will be faster, be better for TV ratings, and you
will get more revenue there. It's like, yeah, pal, those
eighteen dollars beers. Yeah, that those aren't being sold then,
because you're you're forty five minutes faster than you used
(35:51):
to be. And plus right before they do last call,
that's when there's a big surge on beer purchases. So
I would imagine they've lost already thousands of thousands of
dollars analysts the concession. Yeah, are they doing eighth inning
at Dodger Stadium or still? Yeah? Right, a decision for
the last I mean, isn't he controlling that? Well? I
(36:12):
think you can get a beer actually in the ninth inning.
According to Gavin Newsom, you just got to have an
n ninety five on. I believe that's the rules. I
could have that wrong. I just thought he controlled all
things in California. Is that not true? That is true? Q? Yes,
including mask usage. Yeah, you know, and who uses them?
Who doesn't? Right? What else we got leave and where
(36:35):
you use that guys. Another team that might be losing
out on revenue is the Phillies. They had one dollar
hot Dog Night, which is always a good time. Unfortunately,
they lost eight to four to the Miami Marlins, which
resulted in hot dogs and rappers and trash being thrown
in the stands onto the field. Fights in the stands. Yeah,
not a good time there for the Phillies fans. Why
(36:56):
are people hating on the Marlins? The Marlins actually pretty
good this year because it's im I'm going to see
him play Saturday, are you? I mean, yeah, you have
to take the kids. Whole family night deal. It should
be fun. I mean you know, I went to it. Actually,
I went to a one dollar a hot dog night
at a Dodger stadium and the lines were insane because
people would just be doing pyramids of hot dogs on trays.
(37:19):
There was no limits. I think there was like ten
maybe ten to twenty limit. It was insane. Can I
ask this? The quality of those hot dogs have to
be awful for gotta be. Yeah, A dollar hot dog
night means we have too many. I'm the common man
in this conversation. I would be destroying those hot dogs.
What do you put up and mustard about? You do
(37:41):
do ketchup and mustard up and mustard? Have you ever
had just a log as it got burnt on it,
like as long as it shows like grill burns on it,
like like burnt, like Chris Burnt. I'm I'm all the
way in you ever had one with just no toppings whatsoever,
just a dog in a bun. I'm telling you, man,
very underrated, very off of the grill. It's got to
(38:01):
be off of the grill. Yeah, I'm not a boiling
pot water. No, you got a boiling and beer first
and then you put it on the grill. Okay, Okay,
well there I'm gonna try it at that's the way
you've been. Oh are you talking about something that you
gave out on h Burtos? So that was the lastreet dog,
but still regular, like a regular hot dogs. I always
(38:21):
boil them in beer first and then put them on
the grin. You realized, Berto, because you gave up Twitter
that you gave out, you gave up on giving great
recipes out for you know, you're what is a segment
called you do with Ben Maller cooking with I mean yeah,
and he gives a full breakdown on how to do
everything each week and because he gave up Twitter because
the Dodgers having fired Dave Roberts, now nobody knows how
(38:43):
to make anything anymore. Oh wait, still that's still going on. Yeah,
he hasn't been one. It's a new season. Yeah, I
t it's a new season. Well can I ask you this?
Have you been a little more positive? Has your life
been a little bit? It seems like it's literally yeah yeah, yeah.
Like I had a buddy you who dropped so all
social media and he's like, yeah, it's actually really nice.
(39:05):
I don't know, worry about anything. Yeah, it's too bad.
But now people don't know how to make Hollywood hot dogs.
Colberto didn't dog. I've been wearing a waiste trainer trying
to drop weight. You know that that makes you feel
better too? Que is that working? It is? What's a
(39:25):
waiste trainer? Is that just? I think it tightens around
your waist to girdle. It doesn't it really for me?
It forces you, forces me to fix my posture. I
think horse it is that what it is? It's not
quite like a corset, but it's it's it's kind of
the same premise. It's kind of the same premise. It
just doesn't allow you to just let your you know,
(39:48):
fat go everywhere, so you have to hold it you know,
like you got to hold it in a to a
certain place. And does it work if the thing that
you're wearing is doing it for you? Say? Does it
work if like the band or whatever you're wearing is
doing it for you? You know, like, how does that
help your body or train your body? I think it
trains you to hold it a certain way, like even
(40:12):
though like when you take it off, it comes rushing
out again. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, but if you
do it long enough, it starts to kind of you know,
stay in place. You look great, Thanks buddy. Fox Sports
