com the way tire buying should be. So we talked
about this earlier in the show. The Boston Celtics finally
get it done. They finally win a game in the
Eastern Conference Finals. One sixteen ninety nine was the final.
Everybody was waiting for the coronation in South Beach. All

(02:19):
the celebrities were out, Miami were deep. By the way,
is that arena, Brady, is that considered South Beach or
is that nowhere close to South Beach?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Jami, Yeah, it's in downtown. It's across the Causeway from
South Beach.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
So not South Beach, No, no, okay, So what's closer
to South Beach that or where the Dolphins play at
hard Rock?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh, definitely that, Okay, downtown, Well, the Dolphins play at
hard Rock is in Miami Beach Gardens. That's that's actually
way more inland and a little more north.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
All right, well wherever it was in Miami. Last night,
the Miami Heat came up short. They lose to the
Boston Celtics. We've got Game five coming up. We talked
about it earlier. The Celtics for some reason or a
seven and a half point favorite yet again in Game
five as they are down three to one in that series,
and so there's obviously a lot of conversation that we
had about that. People still celebrating the Denver Nuggets who

(03:09):
got it done in a sweep, despite what Brian Windhorse
had to say. Berto's favorite guy, Brian Windhorse, who.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
I mean, just the greatest performance by a team that
got swept we've ever seen in the NBA.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
Berto's a big fan of Brian Windhorse.

Speaker 9 (03:23):
Yeah, Berto, what do you think about those comments?

Speaker 6 (03:25):
I think that do you eat a salad bro Oh?

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (03:29):
Okay, that that I thought we were gonna go, well,
what type of salad berto.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Anything?

Speaker 8 (03:39):
But I don't for some reason, I don't think it's
anything salad for you. I think I think there was
a specific one for you.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, Caesar's Garden.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, but but but how do they prepare it?

Speaker 6 (03:54):
Well, I'll say this.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
That's a does it consist of it being in the
air good?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I'll uh, I will say this mission accomplished. Though, with
all the NBA storylines out there, the speculation about what
Lebron James is going to do has taken a lot
of the reins and a lot of the coverage from
many people out there wanting to discuss, Like Charles Barkley

(04:23):
almost flat out refused talking about Lebron's situation with the
Lakers because nobody really knows what the plan is going
to be. But if you're Lebron James, you've got people
wondering whether or not. And Obrady had pointed out yesterday,
you know, could he be waiting around for his son?
Could he walk away for a year and retire and
come back, a lot of speculation about.

Speaker 8 (04:42):
King James Bridge exact, you know, insertion was the amount
of money that he's getting next.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
Year, I think is that the next two years.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
He's got forty seven next year and then fifty the followings.
So it's like, if you could talk the Lakers in
because obviously you know his son's going to USC, if
you could talk to Lakers into letting you, you know,
just kind of get through the season and you know,
still be able to just make it to some of
your son's games and still play professionally.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
If you want to go through that.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
That's probably the ideal scenario, and you stay involved and
you stay a part of the organization until Bronny has
a chance to get to the NBA. But it's hard
to turn down forty seven million, fifty million, I mean,
that's just that's a lot of money to be turning down,
and especially considering how well he can play, you know,
when he turns it on.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Now.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
He played in fifty five games this year, and obviously
there were injuries that were attached to that. So how
many games if you're the Lakers say okay, we'll work
with you on this, you can play a limited schedule.
How many games would you need from lebron James to
justify the salary and how much he's making.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Well, I mean he's Lebron, So I think you can
justify it however you want. You can say fifty games,
because as long as he's a part of the team,
he's one of the all time greats. He's going to
continue to keep building on this score, wearing you know, title,
and he's selling tickets. Yeah, he sells tickets. He gives
them a shot. I think there's a lot of other
things that come around it. You know, there might be
some younger players I want to play with them at

(06:08):
the end of his career who want to say they
played with Lebron.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
So there's there's all sorts of different things.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
You could you could point to. Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I think at this point, you know, if you're the Lakers,
you've already made this bad. You gotta lay in it, right,
I mean, it's it's you can't really get out from
underneath it unless he chooses to do so.

Speaker 8 (06:26):
At this point, can I ask you a question, Q,
because I know you be knowing a lot of s
and and I you know, i've you might you might
have some insight on this, so if you do, you
could jump in on it, all right, all right?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
For certain.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
When you give those types of contracts, you assume that
the teams are they're offsetting what they're paying an athlete
like Lebron Lebron James by what they're able to sell
with advertisers and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
I would assume.

Speaker 8 (06:58):
So if you're if that does, in fact is kind
of how some of these things works with these organizations,
these franchises, then when when when you sign that type
of a deal with a Lebron, aren't these advertisers signing
the deal because oh, we sold it because.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Lebron James is going to be a part of the team.

Speaker 8 (07:19):
So if he were to retire before the contract or
they get rid of them, Like does how does something
like that? How would that work if you were able
to actually sell advertising based upon a particular player being
on the roster.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I don't know this for a fact, but I would
imagine that it's a bad business strategy because you're thinking,
probably more from the more advertising perspective, it's a bad
business strategy for the team if you're selling based on
a player, like you're the Lakers, you have history, you're
the second biggest mark in the country. You know you
are selling what your brand is and that player can
be a part of it. But you know, you can't

(07:57):
get too tight into a deal where if Lebron leaves,
especially as you know, transient as as players can be
in the NBA, even if they're under a contract, they
can you know, make their way to another team and
then and then in the second year, so not this year,
but the year after.

Speaker 9 (08:12):
That's a player option.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
So technically he could decide to decline that and and
move on, I believe if he wanted to. But the
general point is, you know, Lebron being there as far
as advertising revenue, I think as a team, you're you're
probably saying, yeah, he's he's gonna put more fans in
the seats more often, he's gonna help, you know, bring
more you know, publicity and awareness. We're probably getting more
prime time games or more national exposure. But the truth

(08:35):
of the matter is if you bank on that, then
what happens when he leaves, right, you lose all that
advertising revenue. Like that's not really a partnership or that's
not really a working business relationship. So you've got to
take a different strategy where if you're the team, you're saying,
this is about the Lakers, this is about a long
term relationship where we feel like it could be mutually beneficial.
And you know, if you're gonna do a deal with us,

(08:56):
this can't be about Lebron because you could just do
that separate from us.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
This needs to be.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Something where if Lebron's not here anymore, you know, now
we're talking about ad or now we're talking about whoever
else that you want to point to on the team
that you feel like is that next guy. And so
usually deals are structured more that way, where it's not
so much about an individual athlete, it's more about the
team that that that company wanting to, you know, share

(09:20):
in that advertised partnership, if you will, moving forward.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
They sold an individual athlete in Kobe Bryant. Lebron's not
going to generate the buzz in la in this town
like Kobe Bryant did because they were bad and all
they had was Kobe Bryant and that was really that.
When he got that last contract extension, people were like,
is this the best thing for the team considering any started.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
There and ended there. Yeah, it's a little different when
you see Lebron already, you know, Cleveland, come back, leave
him again, Like.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
You're just kind of waiting for that you're almost waiting
for the exit, like it's going to happen at some point.
Like I wondered what it was like when he came
back to Cleveland. There had to have been a certain
percent and age of the fan base with Cleveland that
was like, I mean, yeah, okay, I mean this works,
and I know we want a title there, But I

(10:08):
always felt like there was still some underlying resentment by
some people there that he left the way that he
did the first time going to Miami.

Speaker 9 (10:16):
I'm sure there was. I'm sure there was when he
left second time.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
You know, it was like we thought you were coming
here to stay for good, like in your career here,
but you're moving on again.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (10:24):
I mean there's probably some of that too.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I mean, look, fan bases are going to have a
wide range of their emotions and feelings tied into it. Ultimately,
you bring a championship, you usually can do no wrong.
So I don't know that there's that many people that
feel that way. But you know, I don't know that
there's anyone that will they can forgive him for the
way he left Cleveland the first time. They'll never forget that.

(10:48):
That is something that I know. But they've obviously forgiven him,
especially when he came back and brought him a champion.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Here's a fun little poll question. You can pass it
around to your friends and family in Ohio. Which hurt Morse?
Which hurt worse? Lebron leaving Cleveland? The Browns leaving Cleveland.

Speaker 9 (11:05):
Oh I thought you're gonna go back to the fumble.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
I like, Ernest Spyiner, I don't want, I don't want
to do that.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Yeah, Levy be alone the Browns.

Speaker 9 (11:13):
I mean it's still it's still a football town.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
Talk about some heartbreak for a city.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Man, it was just one player, right, like you go
through year or so.

Speaker 8 (11:28):
I know, man, that would like like if you want
to have a conversation like we were just talking about
with the commentator from Ohio talking about the Lakers losing
the way that they did, talk about some phenomenal basketball
and football teams personnel wise that just couldn't get it done.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
I mean used to be loaded. Back when Larry Nansen
and uh Hot Rock with was it was a hot
robin like they were loaded.

Speaker 8 (11:59):
Nice Craig Ela Doty, Craig Bret Doerty like loaded.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Well, okay, forget that baseball was loaded you would have
really like that was probably the best sports team Cleveland's ever.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Had, the great baseball team.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah yeah, and jo Jose Mason turned into a gas can.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
I mean, it's just that span in what the mid nineties,
I think it was that was peak like best to me,
at least during my lifetime, specialty.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
Across out and couldn't get it.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Albert Bell, who I don't know what was in his diet,
but something tells me it probably wasn't always on the
up and up because he was Jack. Oh god, yeah,
the the can we say the baseball team's name?

Speaker 6 (12:58):
We love to see it Indians? Yeah, all right, so
they were they were just fantastic.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
And then Huberto.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Back in twenty sixteen, they were up three to one
on the Cubs in the World Series and lost that.
It just, man, the heartbreak just continues to find that town.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah know what, and Lebron Lebron broke the curse. You know,
for a year, I feel like we've kind of forgotten
about it. Hey, your childhood came out of you just now.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
The little well that's the thing is like when I
list of Brian Windhorse say that, I'm like, yeah, I
get his perspective, because we would know we've we've been
through so many you know, defeats that we best losers.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
That's that's why I've remember made it's.

Speaker 8 (13:43):
Cleveland the best losers city, like the best but lose.
Like we just talked about Buffalo. I don't know that
anybody can now do Buffalo and what they did. I mean,
that's just.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
You means most loyal losing city.

Speaker 8 (13:58):
I don't know without a doubt. I mean, they are
definitely loyal. There's some loyal fan bases. Definitely, Cleveland's a
loyal fan base that.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Has here been.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Has there been a worst span in the NFL of
a one in thirty one, like over a two year
period in the NFL?

Speaker 5 (14:17):
I don't think there has been.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Can't be that bad. Heugh Jackson got a contract extension. Well,
I don't know if it was that bad. Yeah, that's
that was especially in recent memory. Yeah, that's the worst.
Like I don't recall the Lions being that bad over
to They were.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
In sixteen, but they were never they didn't follow up
the next year with one win.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Dang, damn god. Deshaun Watson though.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yeah, what's his name?

Speaker 6 (14:43):

Speaker 6 (15:02):

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Action like it's a name and it's a called I'm
really going to do this.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yes, it is all right.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here

dot com studios, the Old P on Twitter and number

(16:17):
one in your Heart's a Wednesday tradition is yours here

Speaker 10 (16:21):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific

Speaker 4 (16:35):
Right now, it's the Old P on Twitter, Petros Papadakas,
the co host of the Petros and Money Show, which
you can hear on the blowtorch Am five to seven
e LA Sports. He's a Fox College football analyst. Petros
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Hello, Hello to everybody.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
A little behind the scenes here, we heard from some
good sources that Petros was dying to talk about Lebron's decision.

Speaker 7 (17:00):
Chris could not wait, need to break it down, but
another decision.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
But Petros, we need to start here because we've had
several days to get some inside intel and trying to
figure out what's going on. But we got to know
the very latest you know about the what happened with
the what happened with Mike Bone at USC.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Petros, you really don't you really don't know.

Speaker 7 (17:27):
I don't know what happened. You were on the air
with me when it happened.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
Yeah, but you've been doing some digging. Come on, you're
the guy.

Speaker 7 (17:34):
Well, the La Times came out and kind of said
that he was an HR nightmare and that he seemed
to be an HR nightmare in Cincinnati that USC didn't vet.
But you'd have to think that a couple creepy back
massages didn't get this guy fired. And then you wonder

(17:54):
what it is to get this guy fired because.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
His firing is embarrassing, is it not?

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Yeah, but it was on a Friday. Nobody noticed.

Speaker 9 (18:03):
Well, USC, Petros, we kind of come to expect it
of late.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well, that's kind of the thing.

Speaker 7 (18:07):
I mean, that's the bar was so low that us
USC types were just we're just encouraged that they hired
a guy who'd been an.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Athletic director before.

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Seriously, he was an athletic director at Colorado and Cincinnati before,
and it felt like a safer hire. And the new president,
who they vetted hard from North Carolina apparently vetted him hard.
And they had a search firm, which is supposed to
exonerate you and take all the bullets for you if

(18:39):
you make the wrong decision. But us he hired a
search firm to hire Clay Helton years ago. And I
don't understand why you need a search firm to hire
somebody that's already on your staff. So they've done this before,
and it's a terrible error, and it makes me feel

(19:00):
makes me feel disheartened. I think it's disheartening because he
must have done something pretty embarrassing or pretty bad.

Speaker 9 (19:08):
Where they find this guy we're the search for.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
Oh, he was on their staff.

Speaker 7 (19:11):
Is that what you're saying, Well, the Clay Hilton was, yeah, exactly,
bone was at Cincinnati and then he had a guy
with him named Brandon Sozna.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
And you guys cannot believe.

Speaker 7 (19:25):
Just the new room massage these guys got from the
LA media when they came here and to see it
all flip so quickly, and the La Times actually sink
this guy's ship and then come out with more and
more of a developing stories.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
The weekend goes on about he said this, he.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
Did this, But even all that stuff seems a little
tame for the amount of embarrassment that this is to USC.
This is the new president, this is the new ad,
this is the new non good old boy network of USC.
And it didn't work. So Lincoln Riley's out there flapping
in the wind. You don't have an ad. You have

(20:07):
a president that people have lost faith in. No one
knows what's going to happen.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
It seems like maybe Sau's not given the job he
did while he was at USC, would maybe be a
guy that'd want to bring back.

Speaker 9 (20:20):
Is that is that a possibility for a replacement?

Speaker 7 (20:22):
Well, I mean he's connected to all the stuff the
old Bonorino did or didn't do in Cincinnati. You know,
he's seen all this stuff he's totally connected to. So
you know, and now all of a sudden that the
Bonorino is no longer persona grata at USC, you're starting

(20:45):
to hear the whispers of stuff that we said all along,
like they got lucky.

Speaker 11 (20:50):
With Lincoln Riley. They took a phone call late at
night and Lincoln Riley came to them and this isn't
that big of a deal, and blah blah blah. One
thing he did do was are a USC baseball coach
that's having success and that's that's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Was he a part of getting USC to the Big
ten and kind of securing more financial stability?

Speaker 9 (21:09):
Is that one of his takeaways?

Speaker 7 (21:12):
I think the US he took a call from Fox
at a higher level than that. But but maybe you
know more than me. I mean, I'm sure he had
some part in it. What do you mean you work there?

Speaker 6 (21:21):
To Petros?

Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yeah, what are you talking about?

Speaker 6 (21:23):
Where at Fox?

Speaker 5 (21:24):
Where?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (21:26):
I've been invited to the Mountain West Media Day.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Okay, not be by the way Vegas. Yeah, but I
want the invite downtown Vegas.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (21:38):
Yeah, I'll take you down to Fremont Street and show
you a real mountain one take it to the peak.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Nothing a little bar, do you get invited?

Speaker 5 (21:45):
Nothing?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
You don't call games.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I just I would love to be I would love
to be in the room when Petros meets with a
search firm and they're like, we're recommending Clay Hilton, he's
on your staff.

Speaker 9 (21:59):
I would love to see Petros's reaction to that.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
How much are we paying you.

Speaker 7 (22:03):
Guys, that's not even what and that's you know, all
of it is just I mean, Steve Sarkesian was hired
by Pat Hayden and Chris Peterson was poisoned by Pat
Hayden after an interview because USC wanted to hire the
drinking buddy and then they were like, oh my god,

(22:25):
we can't believe he drinks like it's been you know,
it's honestly, guys, with USC, it's been so much over
the years and so hard to calculate because a lot
of their embarrassments, and really the more serious ones are
not near.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
The football field.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
I mean, people just care about football and that's a
big that's a big draw. But us He's had a
lot of problems in the last twenty years, basically because
of a bad university president named Max Nikias. A lot
of terrible things have happened. And I don't know if
you guys can relate this with Penn State or Notre
Dame or Jonas one Thousand.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Oaks High School.

Speaker 7 (23:05):
I'm just I'm too close I'm too close to it
now after all this stuff that's happened, and it's kind
of hard for me to make sense of it anymore.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
I can't see the forest for the trees.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
I start thinking about Mike Bone, and I get visions
of Josh Shaw jumping out of his window to avoid
the police, saying that he saved his nephew from drowning.
I think about Pete Carroll, and then I get visions
of Steve Sarkisian doing updowns after a drunken episode with
Cody Kessler, the quarterback, overseeing him as a player. You know, I.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Just it's really.

Speaker 9 (23:41):
Hard homeless guys.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, that happened under the Old Bone Arena.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
You know. I think about Mike Garrett and then I
think about that homeless guy returning punts like Mike Garrett
did back in the fifties.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Petros I got a quick question for you, though, does
what happened to Clay Helton's golf simulator? Did the bum
take it with him or imagine it's still there?

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
I haven't.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
Like, you know, it's so funny, like how much money
college football programs make today because they are building They
just built this other USC facility, and now they're making
plans to build another one for just for Lincoln Riley,
a special taj mahal to his offensive ability and ability

(24:25):
to lose to two lane, so for Utah twice double up.
So no, so we'll see.

Speaker 9 (24:37):
Can we get to the lebron We got to do
whatever you want?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
You guys asked about the bone, you know.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
That was doing.

Speaker 9 (24:49):
From it's been The Wakers have been described.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
See you at the Grassroads.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, have been described as the greatest
team to get swept in NBA history.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Is that athetic.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well?

Speaker 7 (25:17):
No, ESPN's coverage of this is is absolutely asinine, and
a lot of the national media like, we don't really
live thank god for radio, but we don't really live
in a world where the headlines are all different anymore. Right,
everybody keeps the same talking points. Politically, there's one side
or another. In sports, there's just one side. And the

(25:41):
talking point was what after Game one the Nuggets won? Yeah, sure,
but the Lakers made great adjustment, you know, And I
said that on your Guys show. And after Game two
the Nuggets won, the Nuggets coach sided that and said
something about putting it in a hype and smoking it
now that they were up to nothing. And then the

(26:05):
Lakers go down three to zero to a shocked crowd
at Staples Center or whatever crypto, and now the narrative
turns to what They're gonna be the first team ever
to come back from three like people in the media
were saying that, like people that know better were looking
into a camera and saying that. And then the Lakers

(26:27):
get swept and what do we talk about? Lebron's gonna retire,
which is asinine and not gonna happen, just something for
attention for the offseason, something to garner headlines, meaningless stuff.
And every single game the intros were all about Lebron,
all the cold opens, the teases, all Lebron. Every time

(26:51):
the Lakers lost, they didn't shoot the Nuggets on the floor,
they shot Lebron walking off the floor, and then of
course they barely covered the Nuggets championship in the Western Conference.
They're talking about Lebron being retired, which is stupid. So,
I mean, it's a really hard charade or masquerade to

(27:13):
be part of or cover. I get it, he's one
of the great players in the history of the NBA,
but if I'm in Denver.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
I to be disgusted.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
I would I would suggest T and T get the
finals this year and do some kind of power move
and refuse to play, because I mean, and look at
the you got Mark Jackson call in the action who
deliberately left, it seems left Jokich office thing and then
had to apologize and all this crap.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
No excuse for that, honestly.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
And then Lisa Salters, the sideline person who from the
A crew, said that she'd never seen jokes play on
the radio a couple weeks ago and that she was
texting her friends like Wow, this guy's pretty good. Like
that's okay for like a college football analyst like me,
Like wow, check out this serbian meathead. You know that's

(28:01):
But you're on the A crew of the ESPN, Like
you have the finals. You're covering this guy, the best
player in the world in the NBA Finals. You can't
say on some idiot show the other day, well I
haven't really seen him, Like that's bad. If I'm in Denver,
I'm livid with the way this whole thing has been

(28:21):
handled by the national media, because all they want to
do is grip Lebron's Puzzo and I'm tired of it.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Hezo grip A, Petros and LeVar. Before we say goodbye
to the old p here, I just wanted to, you know,
remember the great USC Athletic director, the old Bonerno.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
Oh yeah, I remember when they came out and everybody
was like easy Eye found a harmony rap group from Cleveland.
And do you remember their first song, LeVar was about

(29:16):
the food stamp check the first Oh no, that's right,
it's the ruggers ball you go.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
You got boom boom boom boo.

Speaker 9 (29:34):
There was some harmonizing rappers.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
Boy, I could.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
See Mike Bone right now and like an Impala driving
down and crunch on the black strip with store LOCs
on rock.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Yeah, big old his mouth.

Speaker 7 (29:46):
Oh and like a and a sweet flannel buttoned all
the way up to the top and.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
One of those knockoff ten dollars, one of those knockoff
ten dollars liquor store hats to just say l A.
It's not actually identified if its Dodgers or Lakers.

Speaker 7 (30:02):
If he says ls l A, yeah, he's listening, it's
the Foger's wrong as Ball.

Speaker 5 (30:09):
Doesn't even own.

Speaker 7 (30:14):
One of those terrible Fox Sports nighttime shows. At the
beginning of f S one, one of our one of
the guests on the panel was Crazy Bone or one
of the Bones, and he drank like a half bottle
of Hennessy before we went on, and he went on and.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
He was like like, we'll be right back f S
one late night, that Crazy Bo right back, everybody. How
long are we going to be able to make fun

(30:52):
of Bone now that he's gone?

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Not long.

Speaker 9 (30:55):
Charles the most famous uncle there is in the rap culture.

Speaker 8 (30:58):
No roof Snoop, Snoop's uncle. He's no longer with us, but.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
Snoop, Oh, Nate dog Well remember Nate Dogg? Well, yeah,
but Nate Dogg the singer every other city, every other video.
But everywhere I go, I see the same.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
Yeah, yeah, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Warren G warrang g waring G. On the show, he
came on with Nate Dogg.

Speaker 9 (31:26):
But who's uncle.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
See, I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
Well, I'm assuming somebody's Snoop's uncle, but I forget his name.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
I don't know that.

Speaker 8 (31:34):
We do know Charles, but we ain't never seen Uncle Charles.
But we know Uncle Charles.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
He's in the video. He's one of the spirits meaning
you at that.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
He's one of the people in the sky. Remember did
all they did.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
Him that he was on the porch. They came and
got him. Oh that's right, they came and got chilling
on the porch. He just touched his head. Bloom, he
rolled out.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I remember that?

Speaker 5 (31:57):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's what happened.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Bone Boderino Petros always fun at the old p on Twitter.

Let's go to the news desk. What good, No, here's
Brady Quinn.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Well, let's kick things off in the state of Kentucky,
a place that's near and dear to Jonas's heart. Considering
all the horse racing that is partaken in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky.
Man wins one million auto a lottery ticket from a
gas station after he ran out of fuel.

Speaker 5 (34:09):
Wow, I'm sweet, huh.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Like, imagine running out of gas, which is one of
the more frustrating things that could happen. It's never happened
to me, but it's having to my wife, I think
at least on four occasions. But imagine doing that and
then walking in to get gash. I'll buy a lot
of tickets too while I'm at it.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
A lot of seconds what at least you to catch
a gas flare.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
I'm just saying, man, I don't know if you guys
can relate, But when I get in the car, I
check my gas cage, and if I need to get gas,
I think, okay, let's go get gas first instead of
trying to go to a destination and risk maybe not
looking at my gas gage and not having enough. Which
I mean, can you guys relate to this because my
older sister also did that a number.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
Of times as well.

Speaker 8 (34:50):
I ran out of gas right in front of the
gas station and my ma's eradi one time. That's when
a guy comes driving back stops and.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
He goes.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
A Maserati running out of gas. I've seen it all,
and then pulls off. You want to know what I
said as he was driving can Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Yeah, my truck is old, so I have to check
the gas gauge because it's not totally accurate. Sometimes you
just can't can't roll the dice. It gets to a
quarter tank, I gotta go fill it up. I can't
mess around. But hey, you know what the moral of
the story is, maybe you need to run out of
gas more often because you can win a million times.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
I mean, that seem to be the moral of the
story for him. That's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
How about this something that's kind of flown under the
radar for Denver's success, In particular Nikola Is he laces
up his wedding ring to his shoes before every game.
That's kind of sweet. It's kind of cool. You don't
hear too many guys do kind of those sorts of things. Obviously,
they they'll sometimes take off their ring and maybe like
tape it or something else like that.

Speaker 9 (35:58):
But kind of a cool deal.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
I'm mean, or you can lose your wedding rings.

Speaker 8 (36:02):
That is true, that'd be when we have to say
Russell Wilson being on the sidelines.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
By the way, it does what.

Speaker 8 (36:09):
Shut what I thought he was gonna say his success
was coming from you know, you know Russell Wilson, say, hey,
tell him when to shoot?

Speaker 9 (36:17):
Yeah, tell him when to pass.

Speaker 8 (36:18):
The rug pas, tell joker past, past, past past.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
You know it Actually like I thought that shoot him
tying his wedding ring to his shoes seems like a
bad idea. But then I realized he doesn't jump, so
why not? He really doesn't, Like when's last time you've
seen jokers jump? Like, I don't see him ever jump.

Speaker 8 (36:38):
It just kind of mean he's bro He's like a
silent assassin. I really don't see him do anything.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
I'm telling you, I turned it on.

Speaker 8 (36:46):
It's like he's a n joker boom he's got he's
got thirty points, twenty twenty assists, ten rebounds. He's a wait, hold,
when did this happen? Like I barely saw him move right,
he barely.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Moved Like it felt like remember when when Russell Westbrook
was going through all his triple doubles, Like you really
saw the effort.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
With it was thirty five, thirteen and eleven.

Speaker 8 (37:11):
He played his all like, oh look at him. His
heart is just jumping out of his chest.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
You know the joke. Yeah, yeah, he's done nothing. This
is like a public service announcement.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
You guys all have Netflix, right, yes, all right, we'll
be careful about sharing that pass. Where Netflix is looking
to crack down there, they're rolling out a cost of
seven ninety nine per month per person outside of their
household that's using their account.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
I mean it's, you know, one of the great investments
that there is though.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Netflix, Sure, we're going to be the only thing is
just like you gotta be careful now, a bot sharing
your password.

Speaker 9 (37:47):
The meat wagon took Carris.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Did he really?

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 9 (37:51):
Returnaments on Spotify as well.
