if you miss the big story out of the NFL
over the weekend, well, one of the big stories out
of the NFL over the weekend, huge, huge, huge win
(01:28):
for the Chicago Bears. Jordan loved the brand new quarterback
of the Green Bay Packers. Jordan Love went ahead and
decided he was going to go say Happy Father's Day
to the Chicago Bears. I mean, you can even listen
to it here. Pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Happy Father's Day to Audi Bears fans out there, go back, go.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And so Jordan Love mentions Happy Father's Day to the Bears,
which sounds kind of dumb. I think he realized it
was kind of dumb. That's why the tweet was then deleted,
because he realized what he was acknowledging is that the
Bears or his dad, and it just the whole thing's goofy.
It's one of these goofy off season NFL storylines. But
nonetheless it does mark, you know, the first time in
(02:10):
at least thirty years where the Bears feel like they
have an advantage at quarterback over the Green Bay Packers.
So that's something, all right, So you take what you
can take there, and both those teams open up Week
one of the season, which is going to be a
lot of fun. So Jordan Love already throwing, so you know,
a little bit of a little bit of something on
the rivalry here now that he's taken over as the
Packers quarterback. And so we get to watch that all
(02:31):
play out Week one of the season coming up, where
the Bears are already a two and a half point
favorite courtesy of our friends on DraftKings. So there's all
that fun stuff going on when it comes to Jordan Love.
But speaking of off seasons for NFL quarterbacks, apparently there's
a lot of optimism, not only in Chicago for their
quarterback situation, but apparently there's some optimism for the Denver Broncos.
(02:57):
There was a video that was posted where Russell Wilson
is working out and people notice that he looks a
lot leaner than last year. Really been putting in the
work man, really grinding away that Russell Wilson, he's putting
in that work and in much better shape than he
was last year. None of it matters, It just doesn't.
(03:23):
Russell Wilson's in a spot to where it doesn't matter
what he does in the offseason. Nobody really cares. They
start keeping score once you get to the regular season.
That's where it's at. Like it's the same thing with
Tua Tagobailoa and the helmet stuff. He's got this new
protective helmet to help him with concussions. He took judo
(03:48):
classes that his coach in between Vapes thought were jiu jitsu.
Neither one of them could get on the same page
as to what form of martial art he was at
actually taking. But apparently that's the move when it comes
to I want to prepare myself to be able to
take hits in the NFL next season and not have
(04:08):
to worry about concussions and that too much like Russell
Wilson's leaner physique. None of it matters because both those
guys are going to be judged what happens in the season.
You could say the same for basically every player in
the NFL, but these two in particular. That absolutely holds
(04:28):
true here. When I watched Russell Wilson last year, I
didn't look at him and go, oh, you know what
the problem is? He's fat, I never thought that, And
in fact, a lot of people look at Russell Wilson
and say he's got to have a bulkier physique because
he is an undersized quarterback. Like that was one of
(04:49):
the I guess bright spots to Bryce Young when he
came into the NFL. People looked at Bryce Young when
he got through the draft process and all that, and
they said, well, when he measured in, he actually was
a lot heavier than we realized because he was listed
at one to ninety five and he weighed in at
two o four and they said, man, that's right around
(05:10):
where Russell Wilson was, or Kyler Murray or some of
these other guys. So you look at him and you go, okay,
undersized quarterback, you wanted to be a little bit bulkier.
So like Russell Wilson's physique was not the problem. It
was all the other stuff that happened last year surrounding
Russell Wilson. It was all the drama, his own office,
his own parking space, the lame ass subway commercially did
(05:35):
with the danger Witch, which by the way, I have
not seen a danger witch. I haven't been to a
subway recently. But if your acting is so bad that
you completely eliminate a food item from a menu across
the country. That's saying something because there's a lot of
(05:55):
bad actors out there, and a lot of bad actors
I don't know many of them that completely wipe out
and make a food item go extinct, and Russell Wilson
kind of accomplished that. So if that's the case, do
what you gotta do. But that was part of the
stuff that was going wrong with Russell Wilson last year.
It wasn't his physique, and nobody questioned his work ethic. Ever,
(06:20):
he's always been credited as being one of the hardest
workers in the NFL, so much so that even when
he's injured, the guy goes through the two minute offense
at lambeau Field with a cast on his hand and
nobody around. Does that strike you as somebody doesn't work
hard in the off season. He even practiced handshakes when
(06:43):
he walked out to training camp last year. Does that
strike you as somebody doesn't work hard. So I don't
look at Russell Wilson and say, man, he's got to
work harder in the off season, and he's got to
get leaner and he's got to work on his physique.
Nobody cares about any of that stuff. All that matters
is when the season rolls around, is he gonna play
better and he's gonna is he gonna play better with
(07:04):
Sean Payton? And are those two gonna be, you know,
on the same page in trying to turn around this
organization because they invested a lot, not only to get him,
but they invested a lot in this offseason. Hacket's gone,
so like you can you can point to a scapegoat
all you want and say, well, Nathaniel Hackett and you
(07:26):
know he was in experience and his decision making starting
week one, and all, okay, well that scapegoat's gone. So
if they struggle again, he's gonna blame it on Sean Payton.
Guy's got a Super Bowl. So like all like all this,
like he's leaner now, and the hashtags and all like,
none of it matters. It's all about when he gets
(07:47):
into the season. That's only anybody cares about. Like, there
are other quarterbacks around the NFL where you look for
signs of optimism during the off season. You want to
see it. How are they growing, how are they developing?
We mentioned justin fields like just and fields like all
the reports are he's developing this and this, and you
know he can athletically, he can do it, so you
feel good about that. Like off season reports not all
(08:09):
you don't just dismiss all of them. And you could
paint it with a broad brush and say, well, none
of it matters. The only thing that matters is the
regular season. But in these two situations, that's absolutely the case.
In the subject of Russell Wilson and Tuatagaailoa, like for
two A Tugailoa, it doesn't matter whether or not he
took judo, jiu jitsu like I mean, like like mma,
(08:36):
training in full boxing, taekwon do none of it matters
until he actually takes a hit in a game and
can get up and doesn't see stars. That's why I
wonder how long this lasts, Otua. Do we wait until
everybody calms down and after a year everything's fine. The
(08:58):
concussions can come out to play. Because the idea that
you think TWOA is never going to suffer another concussion
the rest of his career is kind of a crazy thought.
Let's say he plays another ten years. You think he's
going to go ten years without taking a ding. So
when it happens again two years from now for the
first time, is it cause for concern again? Like the
(09:21):
thing with Tua is now you wonder is he suceptible
to it? Same with Kenny Pickett. So like all the
practice helmets and all the training and everything that came
along with it, like all of that's awesome, but it
doesn't matter if he gets to week one of the
season and he gets sacked and drugged down again and
(09:42):
he hits the back of his head on the turf,
which has been the problem. So when it comes to
Russell Wilson, when it comes to Tua, all this off
season preparation and the things that they're doing, like nobody's
questioning any of that stuff. It's about what happens when
the season starts and whether or not they can recover
or rebound off what the issues were last year. And
(10:04):
Russell Wilson's case, it was bad play and weird behavior,
and in Tua's case, it was concussions. So we wait
till the regular season to find out. Jonas Knox here
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe on Fox Sports
Radio again. You can listen to this show as always
on the iHeartRadio app and you can find us on
hundreds of affiliates all across the country. We're coming up
next year from these Tirak dot com studios. We are
(10:26):
going to have a discussion about a legend, a legend
in the world of sports, a legend who is now
saying bye bye. We get into that for you right here.
It's Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
Jonas Knox with you here, coming up and we'll call
it a little over twenty minutes from out, another edition
of UNI You out. Apparently one of the places the
destinations you've always wanted to travel to. Apparently it makes
you very, very emotional, that is what I'm hearing. I'm
(11:18):
hearing sources are confirming to me that it makes you
very emotional. We'll give you the details on that, especially
if you are a multiple time world champion, very very emotional.
So that'll be yours coming up a little over twenty
minutes from now. In another edition of UNI out here
on Fox Sports Radio, it is like I keep looking
at this, the Russell Wilson stuff, and people like, oh
(11:39):
my god, he's just he's so lean man, Russ is back,
Dangerous is back. It's like, what are we doing? Dude?
You know how many people and this isn't even like
a play on Russell Wilson's diet. You know how many
people like decide all right, I'm going to start my
(11:59):
workout and in January start my workout. I'm ready to go.
I'm gonna start my workout in January. And so Monday
rolls around, They're like they go to the store. They
got to buy all this healthy stuff. They get a
bunch of salads, bunch of vegetables, like they raid raid
the produce aisle, get up in all sorts of healthy stuff,
low fat, this non sugar that they get, the bread
(12:21):
without crust, they get the tortillas that say Keto friendly
like all of it. Like they get the lean turkey meat,
all of it. Got it just I mean, do it
all up like no crackers, no carbs, no nothing, they
got a bunch of water, no soda, no nothing, everything's filled.
You go to the pantry, it's all filled up with
healthy stuff you got. You open the fridge and it's
(12:41):
got all sorts of veggies and stuff like that. Like
all the little like veggie baskets around the kitchen are
all filled up, like filled to the brim. And then
next Tuesday they throw it all out because they didn't
need any of it, you know, Like so none of
it mattered. None of it mattered. All the shopping, all
the detail, all the weighing of the produce and buying. Oh,
(13:04):
Bell Pepper's are two for three dollars, let me get
let me get four, No, forget that, let me get
six of those. Speaking for myself, like all of like,
all of that's like none of it matters if you
don't actually eat it, if you don't actually utilize the time,
none of it matters. It's a bunch of prep that
doesn't end up meeting anything. It's like taking all the
(13:27):
time in the world to pack for a trip, and
then you took all that time and you missed the
flight anyways, so what was the point. It's like, so
you see, like like Russell Wilson like getting prepared for
the season Tua and this new helmet he came out.
It just it doesn't make any sense to me. It
all matters once you get to the season, whether Tua
can take a hit or Russell Wilson can play again.
(13:49):
It just at this point, none of the preseason stuff
for either of those guys means it means anything to
anybody whatsoever. Jonas Knox with you here, Fox Sports rad
Let's go live to our I have a thought on
produce purchasing at the beginning of the year. Insider lead
to laugh of the latest lead.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Fun fact you might just you know, just just for
you to have here in the listeners, now that you're
all aware of Todd Todd's cousin is Decker Davis is
Russell Wilson in Sierra's personal trainer.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
How about that? So your friend Todd, Yes, Todd, the
guy who's saying karaoke at four in the morning here
on the show and may have been half in the bag. Actually,
I don't want to even say may was half in
the bag? Was so his friend his cousin, His cousin
is the personal trainer for Russell Wilson. YEP, Decker and
(14:38):
has he ever had an issue with Russell Wilson showing
up for workouts in the off season.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
No, No, he's he's on it saying.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Like this, like nobody looks at Russell Wilson and goes, man,
I hope he can get it together in the off season.
He's never had an issue with that. So, like, none
of this stuff mat It was the play during the
year that was the problem. Yeah, look at that Todd
with connections.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Hey, maybe with as many glowing segments as we've done
on Russell Wilson on this show, maybe Todd can hook
us up with a Russell Wilson interview. Maybe that'll happen.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We can make that happen.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, we'll have to delete a lot of our content,
you know, the jokes about the danger witch and his
bad acting and the the corniness of some of his
you know, snap face videos or wouldn't land well with
Russell Wilson. I'm sure, but you know, hey, at least
we're not ignoring him like Jamal Murray did when he
left the court at the NBA Finals. List there's that
imagine being such a celebrity like Russell Wilson and Ciarra
(15:30):
and then Jamal Murray walks by and just completely ignores you.
What an awful spot to be in, all right, Jonas
Knox here Fox Sports Radio. Speaking of not awful though,
how about Irish Spring. The fresh set of Irish spring
and those sensational Irish Spring SuDS are just the reset
you need to own the day Irish Spring. When the
spring hits you, you're ready pick up Irish Spring at
your local retailer today. So we lost a legend, absolute
(15:56):
legend in the world of sports, talking about a second
round pick. Somebody who played for six teams, played seventeen
years in the NBA, won three six Man of the
Year awards, has the most points off the bench in
(16:18):
NBA history, Lou Williams. And the best part about all this,
none of those credentials mean anything to you. None of
that makes him a legend. And you don't even think
of any of those credentials when the name Lou Williams
(16:38):
gets brought up, do you? It's okay? On the same way,
Lou Williams changed everything for me and the way I
think about Lou Williams about three years ago, because he
is the greatest six man in the history of the NBA,
by definition most points in the history of the league,
like he's just good at it, didn't start a lot
(17:01):
at all, really good player, instant offense so much so
nobody's done it better at that position. And Lou Williams
put an end of all that, all those credentials are
secondary to the legend that is Lou Williams. And why
is he a legend because he decided, you know what,
(17:25):
this whole bubble thing not interested. I'm gonna go to
a strip club and get some Buffalo wings. In fact,
I'm gonna go to the strip club and get some
Lemon Pepper wings, and they're gonna call him Lemon pepperlus.
That right there makes him a legend. And it was
deemed reckless at the time, and the reports on it was, well,
(17:49):
he was going to a funeral and he was hungry,
so he went out. But Lou Williams literally changed the
way we think about his career based on that one move.
And you could try and talk like go x's and
o's all you want and say no, no, no, I
remember his time here in this shot he hit here,
No you don't and know you didn't you think Lemon
(18:10):
Pepper Lou. In fact, when Magic City gets brought up,
you think Lemon Pepper Wings because of Lou Williams. One
of the great gentlemen's clubs across the country, Rob Parker
visits anytime he gets an opportunity to. Lou Williams gave
your excuse plausibility, like he gave your excuse of I
(18:37):
go there for the food legitimacy. You should be thinking,
Lou Williams. You know how many you weirdo showed up
to a strip club in a pair of bike shorts
and nothing else on so that you could feel more
and then tried to tell everybody it was for the
(18:58):
menun And I went there because they got this really
good brunch. Yeah, okay, right, sure they do. No, I'm serious,
they really Okay, you gotta try their tater tots. They're loaded.
They've got like all sorts of garnish on them. Okay, God, no,
we get it, buddy, we get it.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
It's right next to the ATM. That's where the buffet is.
We got it. We hear you. Lemon Pepper. Lou gave
you you're out and he legitimized it because then you
had everybody like Rob Parker speak up and say no, no, no,
for real. Those wings are great. The food's fantastic. So
when you think of Lemon Pepper, Lou, you go straight
(19:36):
to the top. You go that guy in that moment
and the decision he made. I don't think about three
six Man of the Year awards. Who cares about that?
Seventeen years in the NBA, big deal, second round pick
who isn't played for six teams, couldn't care less. Most
points off the bench in NBA history. Second day, all
(20:00):
of its secondary to the legend that is Lemon pepperlu
So we say and bid farewell to one of the
true legends of this sport, one of the true legends
of sports. A guy who left the bubble in the
middle of covid to go to a strip club and
eat wings. Reckless at the time, but upon further review,
(20:23):
job well done, Lou Williams, Jonas Knox, two pros and
a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. All right,
so coming up, we are going to have a discussion
about something that's intact. All right. This was a good
moment and a good move for many people in the
world of sports over the weekend because something was kept
intact based on a deal that didn't get done. So
(20:47):
we'll give you the details on that deal coming up
here shortly. But for all the latest from around the
world of sports, He's our Lemon Pepper Lou the one
and only Edmund Garcia raise right there. Yeah, I mean,
doesn't make you wonder about the wings though.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
I'm not a big wings fand.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So I don't like wings.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
No really, yeah, too much work, not enough payoff.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
What about boneless wings a little better? Yeah? See, I
like boneless wings. People trying to argue those are chicken nuggets,
and that's insulting to me. It's just insulting, you know.
It's like, uh, it's like people you know complain. It's like,
I want to get a cheeseburger, Wolf, There's not cheese
on it. It's not actually a cheeseburger. It's just a hamburger. Dude,
(21:28):
called a cheeseburger if you want. Who cares? What like
we're splitting hairs here, bone in?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Who cares? Have you enjoyed the food at any strip
club before?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I have not, I iver heard.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
I mean not that I go a lot, But when
I did go, I was not there for the food.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
They never crossed my mind. I was just trying to
make sure nobody I knew saw me in that.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
I didn't even know if they served food.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I didn't either, I swear that was not even It
was like the first time I had food at a
bowling alley, Like I go there. It's like you're having
a couple of drinks and you're bowling, and then all
of a sudden, somebody walked up with like overly seasoned
French fries. They got food here, So oh yeah, it's
right around the corner. I didn't even notice, Like, wasn't
even like like furthest thing from my mind was let's
(22:13):
go get something to eat or get an appetizer. I
just wanted to go bowl like that. Was it? So
bowling strip club? Same thing? Yeah, yeah, you know, I
hear it. Yeah, it goes by the way they Eddie
sent me a picture of that TV he got. That
is massive. That is that is a massive television. I mean,
you're not going anywhere anytime soon.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Not if I've got time to watch TV.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Hell hell I was some news in the NBA that
passed along.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
The Phoenix Suns are portally finalizing the trade to acquire
all star guard Bradley Beale from the Washington Wizards for
a package that includes veteran Chris Paul Landry Shammett, several
second round picks, and a pick swap. Beale will be
joining Devin Booker and Kevin Durant to form a big
three in the Desert for Phoenix Golf hundred and twenty
third US opened, Windom Clark wins his first career major
(23:02):
by one stroke over Rory McElroy. Clark shot a final
round seventy to finish ten or to part and it's
just his second ever PG to her win. Ricky Fowler
started the day on top of the leader board, but
finished five shots back tied for fifth place. Go back
to join us Knox on Attyreck dot com, Fox Sports
Radio Studios.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Thanks Eddie, two pros and a cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio. And now it is time for
the progressive play of the day.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
There goes Wyndom Clark picking his coin up. His caddy
comes over. How much of the routine are we going
to go through? None of it? Wyndom Clark's mother, before
she passed, had a mantra of play big. This week,
Windom Clark has played bigger than the biggest names of
the game, even par seventy in the final round, good
(23:48):
enough to post ten hunderd par and win the one
hundred and twenty third.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
United States Open. US Open Radio on Sirius XM on
the call. That is your Progressive play today. Agressive is
making things even easier. They will help you bund to
your home and car insurance together so you can save
on both. Learn more Progressive dot com or one eight
hundred Progressive. By the way, I had no idea that
the Playboy Mansion overlooked a golf course, no clue. Like
(24:14):
I wonder if anybody that actually lived there knew that
that was the case. Like, what's that over there? Do
you even get that far? Like they're talking about redoing
the Playboy Mansion. I didn't even know if anybody lives
there anymore, but like apparently, yeah, it's right there, right
at fourteenth Green. Just like go look over the fence, right,
like you know, go clean up, leave the grotto or
(24:35):
whatever it is, Go look over the fence. You can
go watch them golf. So congratulations Wyndam Clark, your US
Open champion, first time ever. So a fun tournament, fun
to watch love the low scores. Love even more of
the people bitching about the low scores because they suck
at golf and they want professional golfers to be as
bad as they are. That's my favorite part of this
whole thing. Also, quick update for you those of you
(24:57):
just tuning in. We talked about this earlier stuff on
Diggs Drama. A lot of people wondering what's going on,
just some sort of an issue him and Josh Allen,
Sean McDermott, et cetera. I mean, like, like I said earlier,
all the ingredients were there for a major scandal. We
could have some really juicy stuff out of Buffalo, you know,
like a you know, like a locker room fight, you know,
(25:21):
somebody like you know, sleeping with somebody's wife. Like, I mean, anything,
give us something, and instead it turns out, according to
Ben Vollen of The Boston Globe, Steffan Diggs is just
upset about his role in the play, calling not happy,
wants more involvement, and that that he maybe wasn't seeing
eyed eye or he didn't have the chemistry that he
had with Brian day Ball with his new offensive coordinator,
(25:44):
Ken Dorsey. It sucks. What a bland ending if that's
the case to what could have been a juicy story.
It's like white elephant gifts, Like you ever go to
a white elephant party during the holidays or just in general.
I remember my buddy, like we had this white elephant
party and he got this giant box. I mean this
(26:06):
thing was huge, giant gift box. I didn't know what
it was like, it might have been like a TV
itself or like a VCR. Wrap this entire thing up.
And so of course when you're going to pick out
your gift, you're looking at that one. You go, oh,
that one's huge. I mean, it's probably gonna be a
goofy gift, but let me just go ahead and grab
that one. And somebody went up and they grabbed it
and they opened it up and it was a can
(26:26):
of chili. It's like, oh jeez. Then you realize the
buy in was eight dollars or less. So like you imagine,
you imagine what a horse's ass. You feel like you
pick the biggest box on the table, thinking I out
smarted everybody, I got the best draw and you open
it up, but it's a canna Denisen's and you gotta
walk around with a can of chili that's probably still
(26:47):
sitting on his shelf all these years later. It's like,
that's a Stefan Diggs story. What a bummer. Everything was there,
gift wrapped to have all sorts of dirt attached to it.
And it's unfortunate because Stefan Digs apparently just your run
of the mill upset about the play calling and all
the other things to come along with it. That sucks.
Also a quick update here on the trade involving the
(27:10):
Phoenix Suns and the Washington Wizards. There is some good
news to this whole trade, not only for the Phoenix Suns,
but also some good news. So the Washington Wizards trade
Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns. He's now there. They're
going to form this new big three, like Eddie Garcia
was talking about in his update. You've got Kevin Durant,
you got Bradley Beal, you got Devin Booker. I'm happy
(27:32):
for Kevin Durant. I hope he wins another championship just
because I'd love to see the way people throw shade
at him and don't like Kevin Durant. But there's also
good news here in this regard not only for the
Phoenix Suns, but also for the Miami Heat and for
the fanboys who cover the Miami Heat and continue to
(27:53):
churn out heat propaganda about heat culture, because if the
Miami Heat would have acquired Bradley Beal, what are we
gonna do with all those narratives about undrafted players and
the success of the Miami Heat. What would we do?
I mean, this is this is cause for celebration because
(28:14):
now when we continue to talk about the Miami Heat
and continue to force hashtag heat culture down your throat
and try and ignore the fact that you know, they
went out and got Lebron James and Chris Bosh and
all that stuff like whatever, Like we'll try and ignore
all that. But like when everyone talks about heat culture,
had they brought in Bradley Beal, they probably would have
(28:34):
had to trade away a bunch of those quote unquote
undrafted players that they find and develop, unlike anybody else
that got them all the way to the finals, you know,
those undrafted players. So at least now you know, the
reputation of heat cultures protected because they didn't go out
and get Bradley Beal, because that's never what they do.
They never go out and sign free agent Jimmy Butler.
(28:56):
They never go out. It's all like undrafted guys, like
they're never out like getting aggressive on big time superstar Shack.
They never do any of that stuff. Lebron James, Chris
Bosh never never do any of that stuff. So I
feel like we've protected the narrative and the fanboys and
fangirls that love to talk about the Miami Heat because
(29:20):
they just want to go cover games in South Beach. Congratulations,
the narrative is intact. Everything is fine, and Heat culture
is still alive and well, and we can continue to
talk about their undrafted players as the reason for their success.

Just saw on the local news out here in Los
Angeles that a bear was struck and killed on the freeway.
(31:07):
Apparently there was some bear trying to walk across the freeway,
bumped into a Toyota and next thing you know, got
some road closures going on. Now they're gonna have like
a memorial walk for this bear, like they did that
mountain lion who decided to play frogger on the freeway
out here they got ripped in half. You had like people,
(31:29):
like a couple hundred people doing a memorial walk for
was it the p twenty eight or whatever his name was,
that mountain lion. We're doing the same for the bear. Now,
bears give you differently the mountain lions. So thoughts and
prayers to the bear who didn't realize that that sedan
it's not going anywhere, You're gonna be going somewhere. So
(31:50):
there it is a quick update here from the weirdness
of his southern California. But at least it had happened
yesterday during the US Open, because that would have been
a nightmare trying to get out in and out of
the US Open, or people trying to go to the
Playboy Mansion. Traffic shutdown because some bear hopped across the road.

Speaker 9 (32:29):

Speaker 3 (32:30):
All right?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Lead to lab what do we got?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Join us?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I'm a little late on this apparently.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
It's episode three of the first season of Stars on Mars,
follows a simulation of what might be it might be
like to be an astronaut on Mars, all with celebrity
contestants competing to be the last one standing, with William
Shatner manning the controls at you also got contestants like
Richard Sherman, Ronda Rousi, Marshawn Lynch, and Lance Armstrong. And
(32:54):
on the promo they have for this week, it's Ronda
Rousei getting quite emotional talking to her one year old daughter.
Obviously they're separated from family for quite a while.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Interer out on this show.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I'm out the first of all, how do you simulate
that you're on Mars?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I think they're in a desert in southern Australia from
what I'm reading up on, and they're in like some
kind of you know.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Fake uh.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, but like once you walk out of the production
truck and somebody's drinking a Foster's, doesn't it Isn't it
a dead giveaway? You're not on Mars anymore. It's like
what are we? Like, what's happening here? It's like the
show Survivor, Like everyone's like, oh my god, Survivor, what
a rough Okay? So are the production people also eating
worms and maggots? Like are they eating good? Because if
(33:43):
I'm on the production crew for the show Survivor, I'm
not eating like a goldfish that's been laying there for
two months like I'd like, I'd like to be fed properly.
So I'm not really So the idea that like nobody's
having like a decent meal while they're on set here
on location doesn't make any sense to me. You're the
TV guy, Lee, you tell me.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Naked and afraid? Or is the whole crew naked? Is
that what's going on?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Like, like I don't just like sometimes they do have
another side of the island on Survivor. They I think
there's been scandals in the past where like people have
snuck over like a contestant.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Hell, you have a meal?
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
What? Like?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
What like? I gotta sit here and eat like a
cockroach with rabies. I can't go have a cheeseburger. Like
all I gotta do is walk across the island and
get like like you know, potato skins. I gotta sit
here and eat this crap off the ground. Come on,
what else we got?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Grand Canyon National Park has been raided. The most deadly
national park in the in the country.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Have you been to Grand Canyon?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
No, I've not.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I've wanted to go really bad when we were out
in Arizona.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
What's so deadly about it?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
People fall people, There's a whole bunch of things.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I mean, they do have the the river at the bottom,
people drowned. It's a whole plethora of reasons to die
at the Grand Canyon. I mean like heat, exhaustion, stream heat.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
What do you Here's the part that doesn't make any
sense about the Grand Canyon. Why wouldn't you just fly over?
It isn't the same thing. It's all like, I mean,
you can't really like crawl down the Grand Canyon, can you?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Well, you can take the donkey down.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
What do you mean there's donkey rides you could you
could get on a donkey and trek down to the
bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Wait what yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Really, yeah, that's like the thing to do.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Who would want to do that? Wait a second, So
you're going to the Grand Canyon by way of donkey?
How long does it take to get to the from
the top to the bottom of the Grand Canyon on
a donkey. I'll tell you what. I'll put the over
under right now at a donkey Grand at three days.
(35:51):
I'm gonna put it at three days. It takes you
to get from the top all the way to the
bottom on a donkey on a Grand Canyon.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Much shorter, approximately five and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
That's a rock. What a lie.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
That's from one trail called the Bright Angel Trail. It's
about a ten and a half mile truck.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
There's there's stuff that I'm just not interested in seeing
the Grand Canyons one of them. I think I've seen
it overhead. It's fine. That works for me. Like, I'm good.
It's like Mount Rushmore, Like, don't you want to see
all the faces of the presidents? Dude, I've seen Point Break,
same thing, like and in point Break at point break,
at least at robbing people and committing crimes like you know,
(36:29):
like I don't want to see a bunch of sculptures
of presidents, Like I'm just like Lee. Didn't you say
you also saw the pillow that Lincoln was shot on
or he died on.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Yeah, at Ford's Theater again, they still have that there.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
There's just stuff that I'm not interested in seeing, Like
I don't have no interest in seeing where Abe Lincoln died.
They know like that, I have no interest in seeing
a donkey take me down to the bottom of the
Grand Canyon. I don't know, it's not my thing.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Abe Lincoln died on my birthday.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
What else?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Funf fact?
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You're sure you celebrately, That's that's part of the celebration.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Right, Titanic also sank yep?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Okay, very good, great day in history. What else we got?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
You know, a fun fact? I know you would, you
would reprimand me for not bringing it up. You were
talking about the Playboy Mansion. Yeah, a friend of mine
was the zoo keeper at the Playboy Mansion for a
short period of time.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yeah, she was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
What kind of animals to take care of.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Their monkeys, mostly monkeys birds.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I heard there's peacocks there too.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I sort of got there, there's lots of peacocks.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I know everybody assumes that's like some sort of a joke,
like I'm making some sort of an innuendo because it's
a Playboy mansion. But there are peacocks. I heard that
would walk around the Playboy mansion. They're weird, but yeah,
they were walking around.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
It is a weird bird.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yes, a lot of a lot of stuff you could
say right now, I'm not going to what else we
got lee.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Well, happy June teenth to everybody out there. Juneteenth ice
cream was put out on the market from Walmart. They
have since taken it down, getting a getting backlash from
critics saying it's insensitive. They had a blurb on their
ice cream container which read share and celebrate African American culture,
emancipation and enduring Hope. So yeah, the Walmart ice Cream
(38:10):
has taken down their Juneteenth brand of ice cream.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
So I guess we're out on.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I mean, like, what what was the ice cream?
Speaker 8 (38:19):
Was?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It just been like.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
That's a good question. There actually is an answer to this.
So this was in Cincinnati, and there's a famous ice
cream parlor out there.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Grads, is it Graters ice Cream?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
It is h.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
It's cream Delicious from a black owned Cincinnati based ice
cream company. Right is rained vel red velvet cheesecake flavor.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I mean it sounds tasty, but yeah, probably not. Probably
not the ideal day to launch that on.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
You know, for.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Everybody partaking, it's like what are you doing, dude? Like,
but hey, look sometimes people market differently than others. What
else You've you got time for? One more?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Sure? We got one more.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
I was actually saving this one but we talked a
little bit of Chicago earlier today. The Chicago Street Race
in NASCAR. I'm super looking forward to Are you in
or out on this? I'm looking at the course layout.
Part of it is on Michigan Avenue. Some Columbus Drive.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Is going to be on.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
July second, NASCAR in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I'm the race. I'm in on it because anytime there's
a big event where they do something different, they add
a little something to it, Like even like the NASCAR
race it was at the coliseum, Like, yeah, they just
went around in circles. It was at a slow speed,
but it was kind of cool. Seeing a NASCAR track
inside the Coliseum in LA and I guess the good
news for this street racing in Chicago. At least the
(39:39):
Pirates bus driver won't be a part of it, so
nobody's getting a dui on their way to the event.
