was last night started on the Western Conference. The Lakers

(01:18):
take care of business. They go into New Orleans, they
beat the Pelicans. They now set themselves up for a
first round matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Maybe they'll do
something they didn't do last year and win a game
in that series. There is the potential of that happening.
And so the Lakers and the Laker fan base or
field real good about things. And meanwhile, there's some teams

(01:39):
that are out there that didn't have to play it
all last night. They don't have to play later on tonight.
In the Eastern Conference. One of those teams is the
New York Knicks, because the Knicks have had a really
good year, and the Knicks to the two seed in
the Eastern Conference. And yet you know, just can't can't
catch a break because all of a sudden, somehow, some way,

(01:59):
the recruiting video from the Knicks to Lebron James back
in twenty ten when he was trying to make his
decision on where he wanted to go next, has now
made the rounds and that has now now gone viral
And apparently the Knicks attempt to bring Lebron James to
New York involved them hiring the cast from Sopranos to

(02:24):
discuss how they could land Lebron James and their excitement
should he become a New York Knick.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
So let's take a listen.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Yeah, Tony, I'm so glad we moved to New York.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Life is so much better now, a witness protection program.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Now, we just got to find a place for your
friend Lebron to live.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
What's he liked of guy?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
But he respects traditions.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Can do something classy on the East Side.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
Was it big enough?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's going to be entertaining a lot of people in
New York.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
It's very expensive. That's not going to be a problem.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
You gotta find something magnificent, something there's nothing in the
world like in one of a kind like he is.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh here's a place, he says, It gets really loudly.
Take a look.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh yeah, that's gonna be perfect for him.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Allow me to reintroduce myself.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
And then it was a picture of Madison Square Garden
and that was their That was their attempt to try
and laure Lebron James back then, which I would ask this,
Had he decided that that was enough to get him
to go there as opposed to South Beach, would that
have been even more insulting to Cavs fans for the
way he left? Would that have been even worse? Had

(03:45):
now that you see that, you go, wait, he left
us for that? Like South Beach, I get teaming up
with his friends, I get going to Miami, I get.
But had he left for that bag of crap that
they rolled out to try and lure him, that would
have been I know that's a hypothetical.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
I'm not really going down that road.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I think it'd be more interesting to think of the
success that the Knicks could have had. I mean, they're
in the East. If Lebron's on your team, you're going
to the finals. I mean you know that. You know,
whatever team they could assemble round them obviously would have
given them a shot to win it. But that was
the history of Lebron James in the Eastern Conference, whether

(04:25):
it's you know, Cleveland or.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
The Miami Heat. Going back to Cleveland, I.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Mean, they were going to be in the finals, and
they're gonna a shot at winning a title.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
So to think that if.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
You're the New York Knicks, this storied franchise, this amazing
fan base, Madison Square Garden, it's a historic place, and
that was what you've rolled out to go get Lebron James.
That's like all you could do. I don't know. It
feels like a big fail. Feels like and the NBA

(04:56):
is known for flops. This is a huge flop in
that case.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Why is this a relevant story? Is what I'm like,
in my mind.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
It just came to like it just made public calcot.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
It well then that there you go.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
I mean, it's uh, it is unfortunate that the Knicks
are celebrating one of the better years they've had in
a while and now this comes out, you know, like
they just can't I mean, they can't just enjoy their
success and get ready for whoever they get in the
first round of the playoffs?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Is it that egregious video is pretty bad? Does it?
I mean, it's bad, pretty cheesy, but still, why does
it matter twenty four or fourteen years later? Is it?

Speaker 6 (05:36):
We're about just contemplating what could have been.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Could have changed the course of their friend James. I
could have went to Pittsburgh and played for the Steelers.
You know, why didn't you? Yeah, twenty twenty four years ago,
you know, could have could have slipped to eight. I
don't know, didn't happen.

Speaker 6 (05:52):
Look, we're just talking basketball, Lebron James, that's all.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I was just curious. I wasn't following. Why do you
hate Lebron James? I don't. I don't. Why do y'all
do that every time James?

Speaker 6 (06:04):
Any guy who's over you just hating on him here
y'all go damn.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
I don't get that. Why do y'all do that to me?
I don't hate him.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I don't think we did it to you. I think
you did it to.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Your No, I did it. I was just trying to
figure out why this was relevant though.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
It just came out yesterday.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
It made the rounds, all right, And and the Knicks
are aren't they playing tonight? Are they? They're waiting around.
They're waiting. They made it.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
They had such a good year that they're sitting around
waiting for this, this gimmicky playing tournament to Bronson finish? Yeah,
Jalen Bronson, He's fine.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
I liked his new commercial. Yeah, speaking of commercials, with
all the the phones on his on his jacket where
you could watch all of the games. That was Dora
March Madness. It was a nice commercial, probably better than
the one we're talking about.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
What you're not so you don't if you were trying to,
if somebody was recruiting you.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
I've never watched The Sopranos all the way through, but
I'm a fan of the of the show. I've watched it,
just never made it all the way through the show neither,
so really never made it all the way through the
first season.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Some people would consider one of the most controversial endings
to a serious finale ever, just with the way it ended.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Mm hmm. You kind of left up in the air,
right you think there?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, yeah, left left up to interpretation, which I I mean,
I actually think it's kind of cool in today's world,
you know, you can kind of figure out how you
feel like it ended.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Should there ever be a reboot? Like I don't.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
Some of the cast members are are.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Oh, I know there's something was in there. A prequel,
wasn't there?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Like a prequel movie does count?

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Lee, I know you go to them all the time,
doesn't count.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Oh, I'm just saying there was a spinoff movie. You
know it was a spin off movie. Yeah, what was
it called Sopranos? I think Brando's reboot it.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
I mean, i'll tell you this right now, Ay Donovan
was better than Sopranos.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
That's not true.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
That's so The Many Saints of Newark that is what
it was, and the and it was uh Gandalfini's Sun
played him young, young tony soprano. Yeah, see something like that.
I think that would be pretty cool. They're coming out
with a new show not too long from now. I
think for Ghost and and Tommy from Power, and it

(08:25):
shows them as kids like before it all happened like
stuff like that. I find to be pretty intrigued.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
That show sucks.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I can't believe you said Ray Donovan was better than
the Sopranos.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
I've never seen Power. I have no idea it was
actually good.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Listen, I'm just I'm gonna fire off a hot take.
I'll tell you this right now. You've ever had a right,
I got one better for you. Had Ray Donovan done
the recruiting video, Lebron would have gone to the next.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
What do you think of that?

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Leading out that bar? I don't know who's the Who's
the serial killer that that has the show. Oh, Jeffrey Dahmer, No, No,
he didn't. He had like some Aaron Hernandez. Which one's better?
Ray Donovan or Dexter Ray Donovan?

Speaker 6 (09:19):
They're completely different.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Is Ray Donovan like the Sopranos.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's closer in nature, so more of about a serial
killer who's like a vigilante.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Mhm mhmm. You've never watched.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Dexter.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
Dexter is solid, that'll get you.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
I tried to watch Dexter, like the first episode, and
then I was out. I don't know why I didn't
get into it. I couldn't make it.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
It's just interesting.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
House of Dragons is coming back this summer. I watched
that all the way through. Yeah, yeah, I might go. Uh, actually,
Binge watch Uh you're gonna do Thrones again? How many watch? Yeah?
I like it that much. There's no way you can
get through that one day. You're probably it's probably not
enough hours. Is there enough hours? I'll watch it. I'll

(10:12):
go through a whole entire season and one day I'll try.
I remember I Binge watched Breaking Back had me feeling
very physically ill. By the time I got to this.
I just stopped watching it. It's depressed. It's still I mean,
it was amazing. Stressed me out though I was very stressed.

(10:32):
You know, they pulled me in. You didn't want to
see it go bad for it, dude. He was a
good dude, Like I had to go bad for him
like that.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
It's just like, if I want to watch Drug Addicts Interact,
I'll just go right around the corner, like I don't
need to turn it on and get depressed because they
got like the red Mountains of New Mexico get me depressed,
like and that's like, no, it's not trying to insult
New Mexico. Beautiful plays, but the mountains and the and
the heroin bad combination.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Dang it just is It's the East play ins tonight right. Yeah,
who we got Atlanta, and.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Thank you for transitioning. Thank you.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
I'm not sure where Jonas was going with that.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
First of all, I wasn't the one who steered us
off into the ditch. LeVar was hating on Lebron.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I was hating on Lebron. I was trying to keep
it together here.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
He asked a fair question. We answered it.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Yeah, we're here, But I don't think we needed to
get into the Red Mountains.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
And all that. I mean the Heat and the Sixers
and the Bulls and the Hawks is what it was. Yeah,
I mean that Heat Sixers game. That one seems like
that's a barn burner right there, right Like, isn't there
going to be some fallout from whoever loses that game?

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Well, whoever loses gets the nine to ten winner for
the right to play the Celtics.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Which is between the Hawks and the Bulls.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Yeah, and so the Nix will play the winner of
Sixers Heat.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Okay, yeah, so who will play the winner of the Hawks?
And I mean the winner of whoever won is that
playing game out of there?

Speaker 5 (12:03):
So whoever wins the Bulls Hawks matchup gets of that
and then who they play They play the one seed,
the Celtics, the Celtics.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Okay, yeah, that's a bad draw.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Well, and I can assure you the Celtics probably I
don't want to see the Miami.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Heat about to say, but the Celtics always play down
to their competition, especially Miami. They bow down to.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Miami's got their number for whatever reason, because they bully them.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah, maybe Celtics are more finesse. You know, the Heat,
the Heat. They play like inspired, like bang you up basketball.
They bully them, they all tough them.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yeah, that's what I think, which is weird considering the
reputation between South Beach and Boston.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
Feels like it would be the other way. Yeah, you're right, Yeah,
it's just not. But but the sixers in the Heat
are are evenly matched. They're well matched. And I don't
know who if they have an answer for and beat
and that could be the Achilles Hill four for this
Heat team. Yeah, well, he's he's been banged up. I
know he's been banged up. Is he banged up for

(13:11):
this guy?

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah, he's been He's not been one hundred percent at all. Oh,
nobody's one hundred percent. Yeah, but is he available to
the course of the season. I know Janice is jacked up?
Is in beig go Janice?

Speaker 5 (13:26):
If this goes bad for Milwaukee with bringing in Doc
Rivers and firing a guy that was what thirty four
and thirteen or whatever Adrian Griffin was, then what do
you do? Because they thought Doc Rivers was going to
be the solution and it is not gone well, Like
they rebounded and he's had a bunch of excuses at
the All Star Break and then they rebounded after, you know,

(13:48):
to start off the second half of the season post
All Star Break. I mean, it feels like they got
their one title and now they're just sort of trying
to acquiesce to Yannis any chance to get They bring
in Damian Lillard, and their defense hasn't been good. It
just has not gone well. And so I just wonder
is Doc Rivers out, like is he just like does

(14:10):
he get this small sample size and they go, we
got to go in a different direction because that'll put
him on there. What they're third coach in less than
a year.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
That seems to be like coaching culture anymore though, you know,
like you just get fired, you get let go, Like
that just seems to be the culture. Like I mean, though, I'll.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Put it this way, though, those contracts are big enough
for like.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Get rid of the world. Yeah, go ahead and get
rid of me.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
They're paying you not to work.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's like a non compete, you know, you get you
have to like move on from a company, and they're
like panion not to work.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
It's not the worst thing in the world for it.
It is not you get that guarantee money up front
that is not My buyout is X, go ahead and
fire me if you want to. Man, But is that
it for Doc Rivers? If he doesn't, you got to
assume that's it for being a head coach. Like he's
gotten more opportunity than anybody I can think.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
I just how many times has he been a head coach?

Speaker 4 (15:04):
It's like three or four.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
He reached Orlando, Boston, the Clippers, the Sixers.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
And now the Bucks. I feel like there's like one
missing almost with still that's a lot. And he's a
good Celtics Clippers.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
He's a good broadcaster, Like it feels like it'd be
a better gig. And he just kind of does it
for a little while and then decides I want to
go back and coach, and you know, just and he's allowed.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
To have shots at it.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
How many other coaches have gotten five chances to be
a head coach in the NBA in any.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Sport and a lot?

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Good luck?

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Doc, I mean you should know about now how to
do it five times?

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Good luck.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Yeah, it's not gone well for for the Milwaukee Milwaukee Bucks.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
And don't look like you're gonna have honest full strength
at least. Yeah, No, he's not going to be full strength.
Is he going to be able to play? Have we
heard any words?

Speaker 3 (16:07):
They?

Speaker 4 (16:08):
They don't anti cash.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Larry Brown is up there for coaches. You've got to
coach nine different teams?

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Did he really?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
I don't know. I just have to look it up.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
And oh.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
And in college as well too, Larry Brown.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, but as far I just typed in as far
as NBA teams, but Nuggets, Nets, Spurs, Clippers, Pacers, seventy
six Ers, Pistons, mis Charlotte Bobcats.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Basketball clearly goes by a different set of rules. Okay,
you really you were you either really like your job
or you just don't like your family?

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Like what is it?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Because well, how are you able to get that many jobs?
Why would you want that many times? Why would you
be oneed that many times? At some point you gotta
believe it ain't gonna work. Why are you the who
was the ninth team? Who was the last one to hide?

Speaker 6 (17:09):
You?

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Last one? Charlotte Bobcats?

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Oh there you go back, and it was ten they
were the Bobcats. Didn't Larry coach Michael Jordan or something
like that, And no, he ain't had no well I
think he can had something to do with Mike. Didn't
he coached in college afterwards? Didn't he?

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:26):
He? Uh?

Speaker 1 (17:27):
He coached at s m U the head coach for
four years for him, and then he actually was an
assistant and an advisor to the head coach, most recently
from Memphis.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
How old is he? Old?

Speaker 6 (17:39):
Larry Brown is eighty three years young.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Dang looks great though, Yeah, still looks like Larry Brown. Yeah,
like halfa not halfa not haf oh Hoffman, not Hofmant.
Who's the one that plays the dad in the Fockers,
you know that movie, Dustin Hoffman. There you go. That's
the only time you are allowed to get away with

(18:02):
saying that you can't dump me on that because that's
the movie. And I play that loophole as many times
as I possibly can. By the way, just so y'all
are clear. Yeah, yeah, that's not a dumpable defense. That
is the name of the movie. Gay Lord was his name.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
So think about that what you just said, Doc, He's
like halfway to Larry.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Browns only four teams away. That's not bad.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
I feel like that's four more interviews. That's four more
you know. The head coaching vacancy who's up for I'll
hire Doc, you know, yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
A lot Doc to coach him.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Just give it to Mikey, Mike you eat it. Uh.

moving his children from private school to private school and
trying to control our aau world.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
I mean, that's the American dream.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
It sure is. I'm happy he's here, renting.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
The Lakers, renting them, leasing the Lakers, finding a team
that's one of the most iconic brands in the history
of sport, and bullying their weak ownership into acquiescence to
all of his needs.

Speaker 8 (22:02):
Now, let's say they do get beat by the Nuggets.
Which is what's supposed to happen. It's what happened last year.
It's what's happened perennially Lebron is they had their one
championship in the bubble, but everything else, like they've not
even been competitive in the Pacific Division. They were last
in the Pacific Division this year last And it was

(22:24):
a little weird last night, right to see like the
two kings of the NBA, the two guys that have
made the NBA what it is right now if you
like it or not, Steph Curry and Lebron playing in
the play in and all of the great players and stuff.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Are like young dudes.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
All the teams that are really good are young guys
just waiting for these old heads to get beat up
and try to make it there.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
That's kind of odd, felt the little backwards.

Speaker 8 (22:51):
But whatever, Yes, NBA talk, the Lakers have won, and man,
they're going to take on those Nuggets and there might
be a competitive sweep.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I can't wait to hear.

Speaker 8 (23:01):
What's that skinny notes guy on TV that that's like
a Lebron propaganda arm right?

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah? What him? And you know the fat guy in Ohio,
How how did you describe again? A propaganda arm. No,
no skinny notes, He's.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Oh damn me.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (23:30):
I'm not on one of those like hot opinion shows
you know I have?

Speaker 3 (23:33):
My opinion is not hot enough?

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Ah, Petros? I am wondering though, if you had, if
you had to predict.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Am I not allowed to say that about that guy?
Something wrong?

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Is?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
That's your boy? Brady? I just I never know where
you're gonna go. It's my favorite part of that. Can
we can we do this?

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Because I want as much time with you as possible?

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Can we?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I don't want to do the be news? Can we
just have Petros on for the next segment? Due I
have to do the actual news? Oh right, yeah, I
have to do five for I've been I want extra
money in the UFL.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
They won't hire me the Fox to do the UFL stuff.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
It's hilarious, So I need money money.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
So I do the news in the morning. I fill
in on a bill Handle's show.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Time. I'll go today, probably from six to as long
as they want to keep me. Okay, but at least
the seventh thirdsuld you be with us? At least for
a last semes Can you be with us?

Speaker 8 (24:30):
I got to study my news stories. Look, I have
a whistleblower, urges Boeing to ground all seven eight seven
Dreamliners after safety Warningly, what's your opinion on that?

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Seven ers seated?

Speaker 8 (24:44):
We're on to the next story, third story, half of
Irani and missiles launched in Israel, where duds House delivers
impeachment articles against Mayorcist.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
I got to figure out who that is.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Wait, lead to lap as another potential candidate for your
new story that you've got to do with handle coming
up else.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Oh yeah, the Disneyland expansion. I'm sure you're hot on that.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh, yes, we do have that. They want to they
want to expand.

Speaker 8 (25:08):
Well that is an interesting thing, right, because Disneyland is
in a city locked. Well, yeah, it's been developed all
the way around. Right, you got the Magic Castle over
there and all kinds of crap that it's more even
more depressing than Disneyland.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yep, And Disneyland is depressing.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Ye.

Speaker 8 (25:26):
Don't don't be mistaken. Whenever there's a sign that says
the happiest place on Earth, beware my ass, honestly, beware.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Go with your kids there. Tell me your parents there are.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
It's disney World. It's like Disneyland. Is like the cheap
knockoff of Disney.

Speaker 8 (25:40):
Well, no, because Disneyland was first, and Disneyland is where
Walt Disney built his kingdom and when Disneyland was his vision.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
All right with you East Coast weirdos, I'm.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
Just telling you, Disneyland is the true version, knockoff version.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
How could it be a knockoff version of it was first?

Speaker 4 (25:57):
I get that. I get where you're coming to make.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
A score back to the initial playoff? Will Hi say,
just stopped Oregon and the Pack troub looks soft? Is
that what we're going to do with the college football playoffs?
And don't try to do twenty fourteen?

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Petro's Papa against the Avocado Room in fox sportsh.

Speaker 6 (26:14):
He couldn't take it. He couldn't take it the pack
trop because the Pac Trouve's gonna look soft.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
They're gonna look soft.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
And they did, Yeah they did.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Was I wrong? I drove it from the desert to watch.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
That it ran through everyone I came.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Is terrible.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
But uh no, you're trying to say that Disneyland is
like Gobots and disney World is like Transformer.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yes, can't correct.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
It's like, look, we'll do this so much better.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, well because they have land. They
have land, yeah, and they've done very well with it.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
But I will say this, I mean I hate Disneyland.
I hate it. I never liked it.

Speaker 8 (26:53):
I hate everything you know that I do like knots
very far Disneyland.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
I went.

Speaker 8 (26:59):
I took my kids for one of their birthdays, and
you know they did they built a droid or whatever
in the Droid building factory. We have to make an appointment,
and we went to the Star Wars place and that
thing is damn cool. Like they did a really great
job with that, you know, I mean where every you know,
the kids yell at like the Imperial Guards, and they.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Look over and like settled down right.

Speaker 8 (27:25):
They do a really good job and so that, you know,
I hate to be rarely positive, but I will say
that that that part of they did a really cool.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah. And then you see some guy in his fort
he's walking around the Chewbacca back.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Oh, I can't take it. Come on.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
And then they have these clubs We've talked about the clubs,
you know, like Geppetto's raiders, you know, and they all
wear like they have like social clubs and these dorks
that wear like vests like they're in a biker gang
and they walk around Disneyland in that way. We made
up one of our own, but we have never had
the vest made. We're the real boys.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
That's what it's called.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
The real boy.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
You know, some people might take that the wrong way.
Take it that way, you want to.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Get in your bag.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Stand on business, Yeah, I stand.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
On the boys.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
Hey, real boys running main street pitch, don't set trip
around the corn dog stand.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Hey, Petricks, I have to ask you. Let's just say
this does turn into a competitive sweep and Lebron and
the Lakers are down three zip?

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Oh, Vick will predict the sweep four games in a row.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Well, I'm also wondering, like, how far into the sweep
does Lebron James develop a mysterious limb?

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (28:50):
You're right, Like when does that happen? Is like down
two oh? Down three to oh?

Speaker 6 (28:55):
He says, groin injuries over the years, Right, is that
the biggest issue?

Speaker 4 (28:57):
Right?

Speaker 8 (28:58):
What was the issue when he was in like that
the suit with the shorts and picked up his briefcase
and walked away.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
His hand yea yeah, yeah, his hand in a yeah,
it was his hand yeah, his hand was the issue.

Speaker 8 (29:11):
Then from the mutual masturbation of his legacy, Tang Tang
is that it's hard to live. It's hard to get
nailed by the king in La every day. It's hard.
When he came to La, it really sucked. I wish
he would have stayed somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Petros is on one today.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
You guys started with the Lebron stuff.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
Lebron bugs me, Kobe used to bug me, and now
it's like it's like having a dictator, you know, it's
like God, I like that dictator before.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Lebrone, Miss Saddam geezu.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Where do you get your material for? Like do you
sit around and think about like how how does this
come out of you? Petros?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
I don't know. I do the job.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
Just you just do the job.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
It comes out of work, you know.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
If you listen to before, Yes, I had, but I'm
just saying where does it come from? Though? Like you
don't like it's all new. It's like you're.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Pets will think I'm blowing smoke. He's like a renaissance man.
He really is super knowledgeable about a vast array of
topics and things.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Great point of trades, a master of none, but.

Speaker 8 (30:27):
You know, look, I can't as smart as I am,
I can't get I can't get one UFL game in
twenty Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
But you know what though, like you listen and no
disrespect anybody calling UFL games. They can't break down which
statues have the best puzzos across the country and you can't.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Yeah, and if your game to Jake, but you should
have some knowledge.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Jeez, you should be a puzzo insider.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
A really a real insider. Wow. So what else do
you guys want to talk about it? Brandy on the
spring game?

Speaker 8 (31:03):
I'm sorry, you know what, I gotta be honest, Like
I used to do the job for real and really
like travel. Fox used to pay me to pay for
me to travel all over as many Pack twelve schools
as I could to see spring practice and all that.
And I used to pay close attention and watch the
televised spring games and try to like really stay up

(31:25):
on it. And I don't know what it was maybe
four years ago, even before the transfer portal when they
started playing freshmen like a lot. You know, Uh, it
just doesn't it's it doesn't help me do the job
to pay attention to what people are doing in the
spring anymore. You know what's crazy about because the team's
changed so dramatically, you know, they.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Change, but even then, they're so concerned about a player
getting injured. And I know that's always been the case, right,
I mean this goes back to you know, LeVar and Patrick,
you guys playing.

Speaker 8 (31:55):
And like there's always game used to literally be water game.
It was yeah, yeah, there was a god well except
for the quarterback didn't get hurt, right, I mean to
saybody else's full death.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
But I recall like we would always have a few
guys that like they would play a few plays, but
not like the whole thing, you know, like they would
try to protect them in some way, and nowadays not
Like I talked to one of the coaches and this
is I'm not gonna say who it was, I'll put
it this way. The player just got there, and I go,
how much is he gonna play? He's like, oh, he's
getting the star treatment. He's very gonna play. I'm like,

(32:30):
are you serious. I mean it's his first spring game,
like it's his first chance in Columbus. And they're like no, no, no, no,
too good, can't risk injury. Like all right, it's different nowadays.

Speaker 8 (32:41):
And Fox is going to play the Michigan spring game
this weekend this weekend with Joel Brady did the Ohio
State and of course, you know we air these things.
I'm sure it's in the deal or whatever. But it
is interesting how spring football used to be like bring
your lunch, pale and let's go to war, and now
it just seems like an interesting precursor to the transfer portal,

(33:03):
where you're half asking a team that won't even be
there in the fall most likely, and every team is
different and in the midst of different circumstances. But it
just doesn't help me do the job to pay attention
to what anybody's doing in the spring.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
I mean, don't even come out till July.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
I was asking you quickly about Colorado just because I
know we've talked about their strategy and coach Prime, but
they will literally have an entirely new starting offensive line.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
The last year's.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Offensive line gone all the portal, all transfer out.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
They got a whole new group coming in, Like, is
this can this be successful? Is this gonna work?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Like I've never seen anybody?

Speaker 8 (33:41):
Have you ever seen anybody successful with an offensive line?
Would they run it like a summer Camp. No, no, right,
I mean, but I saw the guy that there's some
of the names that transferred. One of the guys was
a started four games at O line later in the
year because of an injury. The other one was a
guy who came started ten games, was their starting right tackle.

(34:02):
He came from Kent State, so right, he would have
come with Sean Lewis, who they treated very poorly. Dion
did and now he's the head coach at San Diego State.
So you know, circumstantially, you look at all these guys
and you kind of say, yeah, I can see why
he transferred, and I could see why they had him
in there in the first place. One was from Old Dominion,
the other one O line wise, was from Camp.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
But they were also guys they recruited to come in there.
Right Once it didn't work out, they're out.

Speaker 8 (34:29):
Yeah, the cornerback, the whole deal. The problem is, you know,
the wider view, you can't change out your offensive line
every year and expect to have any kind of success.
You look at the teams that are good. You look
at the teams that compete every year. Usually their offensive
line has been together for years and they plug in
a guard with a transfer or a young player, and

(34:51):
they have a swing guy that comes in and can
play you know, both guards, maybe center. That's the sign
of a healthy offensive line. Bring them all out and
bringing them all in every year. It kind of feels
like you're chasing your money at a casino at three
in the morning with wild eyes sprinting to the ATM.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Well, listen, Pee, I got another story for you that
you can look into if you want to throw it
in your list. A woman's body was found stuffed in
a trash can in Sunland yesterday.

Speaker 8 (35:20):
We'll pick that one up late. Yeah, for the handle
on the news late edition.

Brady Quinn.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah, and today's news starts. In the Great State of Florida,
a twenty seven year old man was arrested Saturday evening
driving one hundred and eight miles per hour on I
ninety five, And apparently it was because, according to the affidavit,
he was in a hurry to see his girlfriend, and
he went on to say some other things, basically that

(37:26):
she's very talented.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
Is how I would put it.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
What I'm waiting for him is I ninety five. Is
that the freeway where that goes all the way all
the way up north?

Speaker 6 (37:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (37:42):
Is that the one where there was like a video
of that guy driving a tractor on something.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Like that video of a guy driving a tractor. There's
been a guy who's on the hood of a semi.

Speaker 6 (37:52):
Traffic on the highway. All right, many of things.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Very good, very good. Hopefully he made it in time.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Apparently not, because he got arrested for reckless off How
about this. A thirty two year old was arrested for
stealing a pet lab and he said he was looking
for a lost dog. Instead, though he stole a lot
of the back Dog. I was thinking about mister Sticks. Yeah,
what would you do, LeVar if someone try to come
in and steal mister Sticks.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
I got my guy chipped, so if you take them,
I can track them and when I find you, you
just hope that the authority finds them first, because if
I find you in the show, damn.
