Yeah, well listen, I'll get on that. But I know,
it's good to be back here. It's good to be back,
you know, it feels it feels good to be back
at this bright and early hour at three o'clock Pacific time,
after a few days off it was only four days off,
but it felt like a lot longer than that for
some reason.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Yeah, it was over the weekend, it was six Your

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Here's the only question, a boy, did your vacate coffin?
How did it work out for you? Hey?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You pale dog?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Extra one question for you, Jonas?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Did you take off your show Saturday?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Did you really?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Oh wow, legitimately took time off.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, too, took time off, but uh yeah that probably
would be happening again.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Times are changing, boy, they said Jonas Knoxa never changed.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I said, I know, I told you I never changed.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
But when I got that contract for two Pros and
Cup of Joe, I was lying, rich bitch, Damn.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now it's good. Uh, you know, it's good to be
with the family. I want want to spend some night
with the family. Yeah, completely, Uh, just disengage. Disengage from
next year. It's like the Olympics. Try four years, it's
uh never Just completely disconnect from social media all that stuff.
(02:41):
You just don't need it and just hang out with
the fam. And I got to go to Chicago and
have a good time and you know, take take my
son to a couple of Cubs games with like he
loves baseball, loves the Cubs.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Also his reaction to the Cubs like, I mean, what
was his response? How'd they do?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
By the way, oh lost both games? You went to?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
What do you get?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
What do you explain?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
The Cubs?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's why I'll say this. There is and I haven't
been out there in a couple of years, but I'm
reminded every time I go out there. The greatest player
in the history of the Cubs franchise is Wrigley Field
and the neighborhood it's in and that's it. And anybody
that tells you anything different, Ernie Banks, Sammy Sosa, all
these great players that have been there, that's the star
(03:23):
of the franchise. That's the star of the team. And
it's just there's nothing like it. They've done it. It's
gotten very corporate in some parts of it. But like
when you go out to a game there, it's just
different there than it is in a lot of other places.
And the team stinks for the most part. They won
last night, big whoop. They stink for the most part,
(03:43):
But the fact that they've got that venue and that
atmosphere when you go there, it's awesome. So it was
fun to take him there and he got to see
the game. And all he wants to do is play baseball,
Like he just wants to throw the ball, he wants
to hit it. We were downstairs, not really, He's he's
got a skill set that I do not have, Like
I don't have hand eye coordination for crap. He's got
(04:05):
all of it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And it comes from the mom's side.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Gotta be either that or I got to start asking
this question maybe, like because it does not make any sense.
We went down so we had we were sitting in
the sun on on the for the Friday day game,
and it was, you know, too hot for my wife,
So let's let's go downstairs. It's too hot.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We don't you know if she brought her mom with her.
So they were like, you know, we want to get
in the shade somewhere. So I was like, all right,
that's fine. So we go downstairs. We're in the bleachers
and he just like has a bat with him that
we got across the street before the game and just
starts asking me to pitch to him, and so I'm
pitching him the ball he's hitting home runs downstairs. He's
(04:47):
running through people that are standing in line to get concessions,
and he's sliding as if there's a base on the
on the floor, and he's got like a crowd around him.
Everybody's happy for him, they're celebrating them. So it was
really fun to take him there to get to see it.
And the older he gets, the easier it gets to
travel with him. Tried it a couple of years ago,
which I'm sure you guys have dealt with little kids
(05:08):
on planes. Not great, but he handled it like a
chance with multiples. That's I thought. I thought about that
because I saw people with multiple like young kids three
and under getting onto the plane, and I'm like, dude,
how do Brading LeVar do it?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't it is I don't like that is a
testing of your pace. That's going to be the most
stressful part of the entire trip. Like if you can
get through that, it seems like everything else is good.
And then parents just look like they were worn out
by the time.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Pretty much.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I mean, it starts when you get to the airport
and it ends when you get to the hotel or
wherever you're going. But the toughest part is always the
bathroom scenario because when they're that young, like they can't
go on their own, and those things are so small,
depending on the plane you're on, you've got to go
in and help them.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And obviously it's just it you can't fit exact damn
I can't fit. You're gonna add, right, one more little
child in there, like good luck. But yeah, everyone's really
looking at you.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
As you walk down the aisle of going good luck pal,
like thanks man, good luck pal.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Not so cute good luck pal. Yeah, that is part.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I didn't think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It is tidy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And the fact that you guys would have to like
go take the kids in there and and uh and
do all that is just that feels like, you know,
there are some there.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Are some flight attendants though, that will look and be like, oh,
she's fine, they're good.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'm like, no, she's not.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
She's four years old. She's too short to even reach
the latch like to lock it. So no, like like
an adult needs to go with her. I'm her dad.
Like there's there's certain flight attendants who get a little
too over the top with it, like what's what's this
man doing with this young child?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
That's my daughter. Yeah, I have three of them.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I know, it's I know it's odd now like people
have multiple kids, Like it seems odd to people. I
have three kids. We actually have a fourth. So there's
just there's just a whole train of kids coming your way.
Just get used to it, lady.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Which, by the way, when nature calls them kids at
a and age, they not worried about what the flight
attendant has to say or anything like that, or daddy's
saying it's gonna be okay, like we'll get there.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
You better beat it. You better beat the clock.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
You better beat the clock, because then now it gets
even worse because it's like, well, what are you doing,
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Just two more seconds? We can't get two more seconds? No,
hold on, hold on.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Now you go from having to do the restroom in
the restroom in the body to now you have to
go up over top you you gotta find a change
of clothes or you go into cause they're not there
have been accidents where they're not baby babies, right, so
you don't have like a baby bag for them. They
(07:52):
had an accident. They're a little bit like a little
bit bigger, and so now you got to change their clothes.
I mean, it's just hey man, it's uh, it's it's
a rite of passage, is what. Because you can laugh
at it now, but in the moments.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You can cry.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You you can be stressed out to like a heart
attack or a stroke like it's it's no, it's not
it's no gang, it is no game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I will say this though, once you become a parent,
your patience and empathy for other parents in situations like
that goes to and.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Look at them like it's like that hold that that
cup up in the glass, gas the air.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How can I help all right? Or we're in this together,
like trust is like everybody's fighting a battle here and
you're trying to trying to deal with it in public with.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Them, or they look at you they say it'll be okay.
They get you that it'll be okay. Look like you
look at them like, yeah, it'll be okay, Like I was.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Worried about so on the Friday they have.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
This feel sends on the airline, by the way, m
because because every airline's got different customers there, if it's Southwest,
they know what they're signing up for.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I know we should beating Southwest.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's what I took. I took Southwest. Maybe problem problem
solved the.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Time as a nightmare in a Southwest flight.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
I'm sorry, but every every passage your nose, that's a possibility. Okay,
you go on one of the domestics, if you have Delta, like, oh, sorry,
this is Delta. Can you please get your kid off
the plane. Man, we're at thirty thousand feet. I cannot
to calm down. It's like, it's Delta. We're here for business.
It's Delta. Then if it's American, they'll probably just find
(09:30):
some weird way of charging you more money for your ticket. Right,
they'll be like a feed there'll be something involved. Hey,
by the way, you lost these points because your kid
was loud on the plane. We we penalized and we
find you. That's where American style. By the way, if
on United, they will literally beat your child as you
go down the autor just beat the child all the
way off the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And if it's Spirit, they'll let them fly the plane
for a couple of minutes. Yeah, don't work'll figure it out.
Yeah we're good. Nobody paid for this flight. And anyways, yeah,
that was one of the things, like he was, you know,
kind of running around, getting restless and getting antsy and
just wanted to run outside. When we got outside the
stadium kind of cruising around on Friday, they have this
(10:12):
area called Gallagher Way where kids can play and all that.
And so there's other kids, like adult kids or like
grown kids rather, that are playing catch with their dad
and this one guy, so he just no, I like
grown kids. I misspoke.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
So he.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Like grown kids, like, yeah, like bigger. And so he's
running around and I'm trying to like gather him up
and all that. And I'm like, hey, my wife was
in the bathroom or probably shopping again, knowing her, but
so I kind of gathered trying to gather him up.
But I tell the dad, say, hey, sorry about that.
You know, he's just a little He's all, bro, look
at my kid. I dealt with the same crap. We're all, hey,
(10:50):
we get it, don't worry about it. You're good. I'm like, okay,
I just you know, I just want to make sure
he's not kissing you guys off you're trying to play
catch and all that. So it was fun, but yeah,
it is. It is interesting to see he gets older
and you travel the empathy level that other parents have
for their parents.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Are you basically just exposed to the fact that you
have not been able to like get your kid to
be able to listen to you?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Because I feel like every part of the story involves
your son doing.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So excited he was. He was so excited.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Cocker spaniel dude.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He loved it, like he just he could not get
an outside.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
And it makes me wonder, how many times have you
ever taken the kid on the kids.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
On a trip.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is the first one that he kind of gets
what's going on. He was real like he didn't really
know what was happening the last couple of times. This time,
like because he was built up in his mind like
we're going to Chicago. We're going to Chicago, We're going
to go see the Cubs. I was like, yeah, we're
going to go see the Cubs. And he got there
and he just loved it, and so I was all right,
he wants to run around, he wants to like we
don't have it's not who got a backyard. It is
(11:52):
probably the most grass he's ever seen it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Take him to a park. I mean that is possible.
Bring Uncle Varr's house too, you know, you could do that.
There's a pool here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, well that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Listen, Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah that's I mean, but at least I've made the
invitation now to both of you and to lead the lap.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
So well you know.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I'm going to be there at gonna be in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yes you expected?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Who these two white dudes with long hair on. I
don't know, let me look sunburn.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
I feel like my commented yesterday. The text the group
text chain kind of killed the conversation. But honestly, I
was like, dude, Lee, at some point, man, we got
to grow up. I don't know what you're doing in
your free time, but hanging out with Todd's not gonna
get you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There was that a twister exhibit you guys radly?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Yeah, yeah, well it was at the movie theater and
they had one of those like if you would like
put money in a in a tube and blow it
up and you have to grab as much money as
you can. It's one of those things that I think about,
is Todd like forty, No, Todd's younger than me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Okay, I mean it's just screaming. As a grown adult.
I was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm I'm laughing at it. Pratty's first reaction is you
got to like get some kids or something.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Like, something needs to be interjected into your life to
force you to grow up, like it's time.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's time.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Man.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
After witnessing that, listen, do you guys giggle?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Figured that's funny. I'm like, what grown a dolt is
doing that in the afternoon on a weekday?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Right after that, By the those are big Jonas Knox fans, right,
I mean you gotta think, isn't that what Jonas is?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Like?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Lifelong like dream?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I would love it. Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
So they were like thinking about it, like, let's plan
out something that Jonas would enjoy. Let's go to a
tornado storm.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Chasing storm chasing a storm chasing trip. Please that is
don't even get me started. Can I also ask you
guys this.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I would do it with you guys, just for the
content of it, like to collect the content. I just
wouldn't want to catch up with a real storm, like
a real tornado. Yeah, Like I wouldn't want to do it,
but I would go for the content of it.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I mean that, Yeah, that's that's the best part.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I'd rather the.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Disappointment of us not finding it and being able to
live through it, you know, versus going with you guys
and a tornado actually touching down.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I'd love to be in a stressful scenario with all
of us just to see how you all would react.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
How you think we react? I know we're late, but
how do you think?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Like cute, like you do great analysis, How do you
think we would react if we actually found ourselves in
a total stretch and you can get this scenario, how
do you think we would react?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, I'll say, don't exclude yourself by the way.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Okay, we're all hanging out and uh, there's a tornado,
so we'll just we'll play on the twister thing of
this twister.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Uh, Lee would have panic, but it would be like delayed.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Panic, and it would be one in which, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Delayed a little bit.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
It would be slowed panic because he's a little intox
kidd his motor skills, so he would be like, man.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He's a tornado really coming, dude, Yeah it really is windy.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Man, it closed the doors, dude. It's like.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
So Lee would be die man, stumbling around trying to
figure out like what like what to do?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
All right, I think LeVar would.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Probably be pretty chill about it, but at the same
time it'd be one of those like, man, we gotta
get the hell out of here, and he would probably
be trying to, like, I don't know, to go outside,
get his car and leave or whatever else. Jonas would
try to act cool, even though he'd be bothered by
it and probably start getting up and start like pacing
around or just like kind of looking at like at
his phone and not really quite sure what to do.
(16:11):
And I would just tell you guys to go to
the basement. Like that would be more how I'd react
to I'd probably be laughing.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I'd leave mostly, I mean, I'd try and be getting
a connection so we could do the show from there.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Actually, I take that back. Jonas would be on radio,
so I.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Would absolutely bring the comrades and be like, hey, we
gotta do Hey.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
He'd be calling Shappy to be able to be like, hey,
Shappy when when LeVar Britti die, I'm gonna take their show, Shappy,
Scott Shapiro's now vaulted the Shappy after four ta.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
See.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I think I would turn into Macguiver, like like you
get that chair over there, get those things right there.
Grab grab the toolbox. We gotta we gotta create with gallops.
So you think that, well, I'll be over in the
corner like I'm hurt.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Someone's gonna pick me up.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Don't care, Jonas, let's go ground As what had the
window open with his shirt with his chest out, like.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I gotta see it, man, I gotta see it.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
And Lee would be on the floor looking up my
Jonah's like is it there? Is it there?
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Torn up? Can you see it? Can you see anybody?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You gotta some kids or something.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Lee would be like, hey man, is that Helen Hunt?
Like what's happening?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
You know my dad? You know my dad did a
tornado exhibit. Then he gets sucked up into the sky.
It slash Lee in the twister like hey man, hey man,
so bad?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
The best taught to be right there. It got me earlier. Man,
we're together. What took you so long to get here?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just like Brady's, Brady's final solution to lease day drinking
is like, you gotta get kids. Please get a kid.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
I mean, I don't even want Lee to get like
a dog because I'm a little concerned about that situation.
Like you need something that's going to grow up, be
able to talk back to lead to like get him
like going in the right direction.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You tweeted out you and Todd and the tornado segment.
I did, Yes, I did, has heard on two pros
and a couple joke. Yeah, all right, well listen to
lots of lots.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Toot it more.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I'd probably be like pessimistic, like I don't know, just
upset with like how everyone's reacting, complaining at the table
about it.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And then I'd probably get sucked up in it. Two
I'm gone. Yeah, Jonas would be doing radio while he
gets sucked up into it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What a way to go out, though.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
But LaVar would survive. LaVar would be fine. He would
just be somewhere. I don't know what he'd be doing,
but he would be fine. He'd be the only one
that survived.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, I actually would have had I would have headed
for hopefully what would be a.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Bathtub that was big enough to fit me in there
we get under a staircase or something early down in
the basement. You know they say bathtubs too, bro, I
think it's for bombs. No, no bad. If you get
in a bathtub with a tornado. There's a chance you're
basically in a boat. If that thing picks you up,
you're just flowing around in a boat there a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I mean, hey, okay, hey, hey, well listen, it is
a two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
I definitely want to go into a storm den. But
if you don't have a den, what's the next best
thing in the house?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bath of it?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I'm going in the bathtub, man.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
And I could be the worst and be wrong for it,
but you know what, I'll be up in that air tying. Well.
I took a chance. I took a chance.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah you did, all right.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I can recall not that long ago where the subject
popped up during the NCAA tournament after Yukon won another
tournament in which Dan Hurley, the head coach of the
Yukon Huskies, said no, not interested in the Kentucky job.
(21:27):
They're looking to pursue a three peet there in Yukon.
They're trying to make some history and they've got a
real opportunity to do so. And so because of that,
we turn it over to Eddie Garcia for some breaking news.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
All right, jonas well. Here in Los Angeles, has been
a lot of talk about JJ Reddick possibly being the
next head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. However, some
breaking news this morning from NBA insider Adrian origen Enarowski,
who is reporting the Los Angeles Lakers are targeting Yukon's
Dan Hurley to become the franchise's next head coach. They're
preparing a massive, long term contract offer to bring the
(22:10):
back to back national championship head coach to the NBA.
There are reports they've had preliminary contact with Hurley, but
they are planning to escalate discussions in the coming days.
So they are apparently going hard after Dan Hurley, the
back to back national championship. When you coach at Yukon
to be the next head coach of the.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Lakers makes wow. I like it more than wow, makes
way more sense.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
That is?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
That is.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
I mean, it's not that surprising, I guess only because
of his success and so forth. But I mean when
you listen to Dan Hurley talk about their success at Yukon,
how they constructed their roster, how they recruit, I don't
know how that jives or connects with Lebron. Now maybe
(23:01):
I'm wrong, but he seems to be like someone who
obviously wants control and doesn't want to have a player
trying to dictate metal determine who's on his team. Now,
Rob Polenka, who looks exactly like Rob low Is, it's
(23:23):
my understanding that he's the one who's ultimately making this
decision quote unquote at least that's what's being put out
there publicly. But come on, we all know how Lebron
operates and how he's been operating. This is either a
divide between the two or somehow Lebron is fully on
(23:45):
board with this and willing to at this point kind
of give up the reins.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
And maybe.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I don't know, maybe you look at the JJ Reddick situation, say,
you know, we don't We're a little concerned about the
storied franchise heading over to the keys to a guy
who's never been head coached before. So I think as
you dig deeper into if it is going to be
Dan Hurley, the reasons why, and I wonder how many
of them have to do with Lebron checking them off,
(24:15):
or if this is more of the organization's decision. We know,
we know Petros has lamented about how everyone's getting nailed
by the king.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Maybe this is an instance where that's not the case.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
There's only two coaches that you could bring in that
would exist that would not be under the influence of
what Lebron James wants, and that would be pat Riley
and Phil Jackson.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
I'm not even going to put Eric Spoulcher draw on
there for the for the Los Angeles Lakers, those will
be the only two names I could think of that
would come in. And you can stand up to saying
to the GM and to Lebron that this is what
it is. I think that this is a product of
conversations and comfort level of development of a college player.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Let alone bring the.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Skill of and the playbook that you have a lot
of people lotted Hurley's playbook, the evolution of how they
were running the baseline, the pick and rolls, the screens,
the way that he architected what was going on there
for the Huskies. I think, I think if you're talking
(25:38):
about bringing in a college coach that is running college
style offenses, even if it does translate to the pros,
there had to have been the conversation when.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
It's it worked out, when's the last time success in college?
I mean, he's I mean, they didn't win a championship.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I get it. But he turned into an organization.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I get it. I mean, and now it's in the
front office.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
It's kind of feels a little different, like I don't
even know if that's the example I'd use only because
if and this is something that you know well because
you're a Boston fan. We're talking about one of the
most storied franchises in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Their standard isn't like, Oh, they've turned it around. Their
standards win a championship.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
So the Lakers have tried this before they reached out,
They were trying to hire Mike Krzyzewski back in the
day like Kobe loved Mike Krzyzewski. Obviously it didn't work out.
I want to ask you, guys this from the Dan
Hurley side, because Dan Hurley's got everything he could possibly
want in college basketball, with an opportunity on the doorstep
of history to go for a three peat, and they
(26:49):
were dominant two tournaments in a row in the hardest
playoff format that there is in sports outside of the money,
and I'm sure the money is going to be huge
as far as this goes. Do you think, much like
maybe in college football, that the NIL era and conversation
and everything that comes along with that had anything to
(27:11):
do with his decision to want to get out of
college basketball now.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
As possible, That's very possible, Like I see where this
is heading as possible.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
What I find interesting about that is you know again
he he he talks a lot about how he goes
about recruiting guys and he's not necessarily always looking for
the best recruit coming out of high schools. It's the
right fit. And the way he goes about looking at
the family the player, the people around the player, their
(27:40):
ability to have that grit and desire to want to,
you know, compete and earn it not just be giving something.
So it might have played a factor, but he just
he's so different in how he sees his roster construction,
how he wants to build a team. And that's that's
what I find interesting, is that it feels like he's
been heavily involved in that in the college life and
(28:00):
sometimes in the pros that's not the case. You're kind
of deal you inherit a roster. You may not have
many decisions as to what you can do with that
roster from a business standpoint, or you may not be
a part of those negotiations and conversations at all and
just be dictated and told who's going to be there.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
That's a tough spot to be in for any head coach.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I think this is this is.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Lebron James written all on it and and it has
get my son to Lakers written all on it.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
I was just gonna say, his son fits the profile
of like what Dan Hurley would want, like a guy
who you know, people are doubting, a guy who people say,
like he's not a draft pick yet, but he might
be in the future, but it's not yet, right, So
why is he being trapped? Why is he gonna be
drafted this year? Why is the team? Well because his
dad's Lebron, but he would feed off of that. For
(28:57):
a young man who I think is gonna work hard,
I think is gonna like try to prove any any
doubters out there wrong.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Like it fits completely in the wheelhouse, I think.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
And another thing is, you know, if Lebron's looking for
a way of at the end of his career trying
to still add on some championships, there might be an
element too of just saying, like, this guy's gonna come
in and build a team around me one way. You know,
if you look at what he did at Yukon look
out and selfish, that team was the different pieces they had.
They you know, he doesn't necessarily have to highlight Lebron
(29:28):
in order to win. They can kind of share in
all those success and share the ball and everything else
that goes.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Along with it.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Do you think there's possibly maybe a little under the
table compromise here where they're like, listen, we can't have
everything right. You can't get to pick and choose your
coach and also play with your son. We're picking the coach.
We'll see what we can do about bringing your son.
I don't think that's what it is.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Well to that point, though, you have to think the
decision they make for the coach is probably going to
I mean, you'd think an NBA can turn over just quick.
But if you're making this big of a monumental commitment
to the Dan Hurley or the coach in this case,
he's going to outlast Lebron.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Correct Now you're hitting on it. Now you're hitting on
it to me, I think that Lebron James is looking
at the Dan Hurley situation as a win for him
to be able to one implement a dope ass offense
immediately out the gate that could possibly give him an
opportunity to compete, compete for another title before he gets
(30:33):
up out of here. But then two, if you're going
to bring in my son, who better to develop my
son moving forward and talking about a blockbuster deal. It's like, Okay, well,
if you're doing a blockbuster deal for Dan Hurley, he's
going to be here for an extended amount of time.
That gives me, That gives my son the stability and
the opportunity to actually make it in the league. I
(30:57):
would say at this point, trying to win one more
champion ship, but actually situating a tremendous market and a
tremendous historical franchise for his son to have extended success
as as a professional ballplayer. Those have got to be
the only two things that Lebron's thinking about right now.
(31:18):
If you if you ask me, I mean, what else
would there be?
Speaker 6 (31:23):
I I guess the question becomes then you know, was
broad and not recruited by Yukon in the first place.
It's not like he just played one year of college
ball and you know, Dan's been going on a run
the past couple of years.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Was there interest?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Was there not from the James family because he didn't
want to have to go to play all the way
across the country the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Yeah, I think that it was strategic to send him
to USC. I thought it was very strategic. You're you're
introducing him. He's already played his high school ball here.
That's thee er Canyon goes to a local a local
college at USC, and now he's going into the draft.
(32:06):
I just think, and now it kind of makes you think, like, dang,
Darvin Ham, Like all you had to do was drave Bronnie,
and they might have gave you another.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
They might. They might.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
You said, I'm not taking Bronnie. They got your hands up,
out of there. Out of there, we got we gotta
clear it away for baby boy to come in and
they get in in these doors. If y'all gonna keep
lebron James Senior around, y'all gonna have to make some concessions.
And this is how it's gonna work out, and this
is how it's gonna happen. That's what sounds like to me.
I mean, this is posturing if you ask me. But
(32:37):
it's a great move because you get an immediate boost
and a tremendous coach that understands offense. That's one. And
then two, if he's actually willing, which I would assume
that that's gonna be something that's like in the leveraging
of all of this is you're gonna draft my son.
You want Lebron, You got to bring my son boom,
(32:59):
you develop him, you get a long term deal. I
get out of the way, I get out of yours hair,
and y'all move forward, you know with the team.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, with my son, so we will keep you again.
That is the breaking news out of the NBA and
of the world of sports that the Lakers are targeting,
According to Adrian Warznarowski, Yukon's Dan Hurley to become the
franchise's next head coach. They're preparing a massive, long term
contract offer to Hurley, so the interest is definitely there.
(33:30):
They are meeting and discussing it. If that gets finalized
before we are off the air, we'll have the latest
on that. But again the breaking news. Dan Hurley in
serious consideration for the Lakers head coaching job, so much
so that things have progressed to where a massive offer
contractually is impending. That'll be coming up here shortly, and
(33:51):
I don't know, let me see if we can find
that on DraftKings. Because if you had money, if you
were like me, and you were like man, if I
had to bet on this, I'm gonna go JJ Redick,
you just lost your ass thinking that you were going
to get paid out, which.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Was the advice that you were giving the other week.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So I mean, look, you know, I don't know. Uh,
let me just see. I want to see if Dan
Hurley was even in consideration.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
I don't. I mean, there's probably another category.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
All right, let's see just if I can find something
here for you.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
I might have taken it off the board.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Let's see. So as of two days ago, JJ Reddick,
James Brego, Kenny Anderson, Kenny Atkinson and Anderson, Mike and Nori,
Chris Quinn, David Adelman, Rajon Rondo, Monty Williams, Terry Stotts
(34:45):
like he's nowhere to be found. Becky Hammond was on
this list to be the next head coach and nowhere
Paul Gasol was on this list. So you don't have
you don't have an odds list though, I'm just trying
to just write it off. That was the latest odds
as of well you're not giving us what the odds
were then, like plus four hundred was the next in
line behind uh minus two ten. Okay, yeah, that according
(35:10):
to DraftKings. So James Brego of the Pelicans, was a
plus four hundred at that point. So Dan Hurley nowhere
to be found, at least according to DraftKings within the
last two days. So very interesting. So it could be
Dan Hurley on his way to the Lakers, according to
Adrian Wartowski, to be their next head coach. So uh,
(35:31):
fun way to start the hour. Here a little breaking
news about that, Lorena, Like you don't get breaking news
on this show. It's like the fourth breaking news story
you've gotten on this show.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
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 2 (35:50):
It just appears like there's a bit of a gap between.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
It's theis, it's the pingus efect poringis ordered, that poorsingis.
Last year, I did get some porzingis, yeah I did.
It was like, let me get a little bit of
persingis on some of that result.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
They dropping some threes on them.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Let me dang.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
They were loose, man, They were loose. They were comfortable,
they were confident. I don't know how they're going to
play on the road, but if they can defend home
like this. They're in pretty good shape.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I think they've won six in a row on the road,
so they've been uh just they've actually been better over
the past couple of years on the road by a
large margin than at home. But yeah, that was and
once that onslaught like Dallas got it to eight. Yeah,
they wanted to give it away.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Now.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
They they wanted They almost were like Minnesota like in
that third quarter.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Geez, you know they're listening on Kfan right now. I mean,
I'm just saying they wanted to give it away. Damn man.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
The Mavericks was walking them down. They were walking them down,
and they just went cold, like they couldn't catch anything.
They couldn't catch any type of shots going in. So
I don't know, man, that's it gave. It was interesting
to see the MAVs pull it to eight.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I was like, looking at the score, I'm like, I'm like,
is my math off?
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Like I'm really sitting there trying to figure out how
they're getting that how they got that close?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
But they they did.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
And if I'm if I'm Jason Kidd and I'm the
Dallas Mavericks, I got to think about what were we
able to do to alter their their offensive output because
they I mean, you gotta say, early on their their
output was like kind of like, I mean, can they
sustain that? Can they can they hit that many threes?
(37:55):
All they do is chuck threes. I mean they do
go to the whole. Jalen was going to the whole
dunked on somebody's neck. I don't know who that was,
but he dunked on somebody.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
And Tatum was going to the whole little bit too.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
But they just shoot like they just be shooting, Like
give them the ball, shoot guy in their face, shoot,
they just shoot. If they're making it, it's gonna be
hard to keep up with them because there's too many
of them that can shoot.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But when they go cold, you can see when they
go cold, you got a chance.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Then the question becomes what can you do as a
defense to try to guard the perimeter but at the
same time be able to like limit them to like
one shot.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
That's gonna be to me, that's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
The key to this series is how does Jason Kidd
adjust to the fact that you literally have five guys
on the court that can shoot it from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
On the court.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
That's a tough that's a tough, tough challenge to try
to figure out a scheme and a game plan for.
And by the way they play defense, they d That's
the other thing too.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yeah, they d you up.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
Man.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
They ain't just letting you get easy buckets. They they
contesting you. That's tough. And I knew that was going
to be what Porzing gets added that extra little added dimension. Yeah, man,
the Horford Horford were showing that he could keep up.
He was showing he could keep up with.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Oh yeah, great points.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Showing up when he needs to, h yeah, popping off
shots when he needs to. So I'm talking about ye
been around the block of time.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Or two, been around that, been around that block, been
a onn that block.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
The Kyrie Irving struggles against Boston, I think he's oh
for his last owen eleven in his last eleven games
against the Celtics, since he stomped on the logo, he's
like owing six.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Celtics fan would know that, right, Well, no.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Because it's all over the place. I mean that's sort
of the discussions. Yeah, I mean you just yeah, you
just it's.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
The article I read literally just the first sentence said
since Kyrie stomped on the logo this is what is read.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
You saw the same one, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
It looked like a Celtics fanboy paper.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, listen, that's that's, you know, a reckless accusation again
to start off the show. And there needs to be
some fines handed out for this because this enough is enough,
all right, and things have got to change around here.
But Kyrie did talk about the atmosphere in Boston. He
did not play well. Uh Luken needed a little bit
of help. He did not get it from Kyrie. But
here was Kyrie Irving discussing the game afterwards. I promise you,
(40:36):
I swear to Kyrie Irving was definitely discussing the game afterwards,
no doubt about it. He was absolutely discussing the game.
Well listen, okay, apparently maybe he was not discussing the game.
Kyrie Irving apparently was not discussing the game afterwards. No,
that's not yeah, that's uh, that's you know, let's just
(40:59):
scratch the whole thing. Let so let's just that's good,
all right. Take five did not work, all right, so
let's just go ahead and we'll wipe that up.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Point is Jonas, let's just start over start the period.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Unbelievable. He struggled and the Dallas Mavericks came up short.
But now that they head into Game two, do you
just basically if your Jason Kidd show them that six
minute stretch in the third quarter and say, if we
could just do this for the other portion of the game,
we've got a legitimate shot in this series. Because out
of the stands right now, the odds have shifted to
(41:35):
the Celtics a minus four to twenty five to win
this series. With three games left and three wins to
go for the Boston Celtics. So how do we feel
about the Dallas Mavericks chances moving forward?
Speaker 6 (41:47):
I mean, it's gonna taken and Kyrie playing as good
as they can possibly.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Play every single game.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
There is no support of the outside of those two,
at least not enough to overcome one of them having
an off night, and clearly Kyrie had an off night
last night.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
That whole logo stomping thing. It's just stuck with them forever, agreed,
But that's the difference in the two rosters.
Speaker 6 (42:12):
You know, if you look at Boston like they have
so many different ways of scoring, so many different people
that can pitch in and now with Porzingis, it's just
it's it's overwhelming at times, right, the different ways they
can play, the different ways they can score defensively, how
they can match up, and just it feels like it's
gonna take a heroic effort from Docis and Kyrie to
(42:33):
make this thing work. And I mean look good for
the Celtics. I feel like for guys like you know, Jonas,
who have rooted for the Celtics for a long time,
big a big time fan, you finally get a championship
and it didn't take like a Big three. You know,
this is to me, this is a roster and this
is a team that has a foundation that can last.
(42:54):
You have to give a lot of credit to Brad
Stevens Joe Mizzula for the job they've done.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Is it do you guys find it offensive? And I'll
ask Brady this, all right, so LeVar, you can't really
comment on this. This is yeah, that's because I'm black. Well,
I mean listen, Drew Holiday. Drew Holiday said afterwards, when
that happened me, what about that that messed up there?
Uh So Drew Holiday set after the game that even
(43:25):
our white guys guard. Okay, So is anybody offended by
the fact that he is pointing out that even even
the white players in the Boston Celtics also guard.
Speaker 5 (43:35):
That seems strange. Yeah, like because I would think that
you would. I think that the white boys would be
playing like fundamentally sound defense stuff like that because they're
not maybe as athletic as the brothers.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Does he take a shot at Luca?
Speaker 2 (43:56):
That's a great pool. Because they were pointing that out
right to where Jays. Some kid was saying, you know,
as long as they just participate defensively talking about Kyrie
and Luca, which feels like a great pool. Q dang shaye.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
I mean, why else would you make that comment?
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Well, I think you know, Peyton, Pritchard, Sam Hauser.
Speaker 10 (44:18):
I had them all out there, the Celtics white, they
had there to defend. I'm just saying, why else would
you Celtics Baby, You're you're saying a mage a comment
like that to contrast what you do and what they
don't do.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yeah, I mean I feel like you might have you
might have hit on something there.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Jonas doesn't think so they didn't.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
Mention the other the other guy with the ballhead that's
like to what's what?
Speaker 2 (44:45):
What is?
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Who is he?
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Derek White?
Speaker 4 (44:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Yeah that Brady told me that was the best part
about him was his last name, yeah, which which I
thought to be a little bit over the top. He
plays defense. I don't know, you didn't say that.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Great de that's a great shooter.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
There is the next factor, definitely, that's for sure. That
is for sure.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
But I will take of an art team we can.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, we got to really decide on some stuff here,
all right.
Speaker 4 (45:13):
Well, but they get Lucas. Yeah, we do get Luka.
We already talked about that.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Very true. You guys get Luca and and wit Sky
Dirt get Dirt. Oh yeah, you get Dirt. Look him up,
gets Dirk if you know Dirk, look him up. What
I'm saying, look him up? We had him. Yeah, he's
with us. But I don't think that that's he's I
don't know, look him up. Yeah, I mean he does
(45:41):
have the resume. Dirt noted that. Yeah, Dirk, the lap
he does what Dirt?
Speaker 4 (45:50):
What?
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Oh boy, make some noise. This is why I struggled
to sign off on Drew Holiday making the comment even
our white guy's guard is a direct shot at Luca,
because LaVar, you've pointed this out black and blue, you
know European. Is that the same thing? I mean, what's
it all about?
Speaker 4 (46:17):
Just the U?
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Just this, just the skin?
Speaker 4 (46:21):
What was that all about?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
I'm just the Weather Channel. Tell you that, do you think?
Tell you that I think you are Ian and are
out Ian? Yeah, get that out of the way. Well, listen,
it's unfortunate if you're a Dallas Mavericks fan, not the
way you expect a game one to go. Also, I
was gonna mention this yesterday, and it seems pretty obvious
(46:45):
to me. Luca doesn't look one hundred percent like he
does not like. He looks like he's trotting up and
down the floor at a really slow pace. And I
don't know if that's just the way he plays or
he's still dealing with whatever he's dealing with when it
comes to the knee injury.
Speaker 5 (46:59):
But he also not look one percent as a finals man.
Doesn't matter a right. You don't get that. You don't
get that one right there. You don't get to check
that box off. You can't do it.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Listen, I'm trying to find uh, you can't do it.
Trying to find a glimmer of hope for the Mavericks here.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
Well, it's saying that Luca is banged up and can't
get it done is not giving them hope.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
And also we had to wait for two months for
the finals to start, and then we got to wait
until Sunday for Game two. We can't. We can't get
this thing going on Saturday. Like they got to push
it all.
Speaker 5 (47:34):
Definitely, maybe one day on one day off and come on, man,
let's get it done.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Game three's covered stinks.
Speaker 10 (47:42):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
I mean, I don't care if people take issue with that,
all right, it's not even close to TNT.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
It's just not man, I gotta disagree. I mean, listen
the way Stephen A. Smith came walking into that arena,
you best better know that that es in is all
about that smoke.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
You need to make sure people know your joke When
you say I.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
Am joking, I'm I'm joking.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
By the way, it's why are you walking with the
security guard?
Speaker 4 (48:13):
Period? Is little bag?
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Why is white? Is ESPN put a camera on him
making his walk into.
Speaker 5 (48:21):
I think there's somebody behind the scenes that is sitting there,
like Steven A is a d bag and I want
the whole world to see it.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Will he thinks he's being this like conquering hero. I
want the world to see it.
Speaker 5 (48:36):
On my way out of ESPN, I'm gonna raise my
hand be like it was me that was doing the
ISO shots and stem when it was coming into the arena,
like he was like he was about to go, like
about to go warm up. Let me beside the monograms.
I'm gonna go get go, get to the shoot around.
Speaker 4 (48:55):
And here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
I like Steven A. Smith. He did this show in
this time saw years ago. He is an FSR alum
who cares. But it's got to stop. This has got
to stop. Somebody's got to pay it.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Loves himself, bro, I've never even paid that much attention
to Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Smith. To be honest with you, I never, like, I never.
Speaker 6 (49:16):
That's all part of ESPN though, annoying him putting on
the platform to make him feel like he is that.
Speaker 4 (49:23):
I mean that that that's part of it too. But again,
aside from Steven A.
Speaker 6 (49:28):
Smith and it, it's just their coverage that the in
game coverage, it's just nothing is even close to TNT.
The way they schedule these games is irritating, very similar
to why we had to wait until June sixth, but
now even waiting till Sunday, the whole entire thing. And
then they play a role now for people who are like, oh,
it's the NBA.
Speaker 4 (49:47):
No it's not. It's the TV network. They pay for it,
they've got to the programming.
Speaker 6 (49:51):
They're the ones who helped kind of shape when the
schedule actually comes out. They have a much greater input
than even the league. So it's it's frustrating because they
get stuff and they will take it and ruin it.
And I almost wonder too. And even with the talk
of the NBA and w n b A, because they've
got rights to those things, it's like they manipulate it
(50:14):
to not make it about the sport and and and
it's in an effort, I think, to hype up their
studio shows during the week so they have something to
talk about.
Speaker 4 (50:23):
So like now and now there's even like beef like.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
Where like you know, all former players are talking on
the studio shows, like that becomes the discussion point instead
of the actual games themselves.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
I hate it. It's hard to watch, man, it really is. Hang.
Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yeah, it's uh. And you know we've got another three
months until game two, so it's just good. We're gonna
be crap.
Speaker 5 (50:45):
At least at least you extend in the series. To
find a way to extend it in some way.
Speaker 4 (50:54):
Is there odds? Like what's the odds for a four
game sweep?
Speaker 5 (50:58):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Efforting? They might have went up yesterday, I'll.
Speaker 4 (51:01):
Tell you that.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Yes, let's see van for me here. It was a
little bit a little veget veggiet little bit.
Speaker 4 (51:08):
What would you guess they are if I the guess
would say plus?
Speaker 2 (51:16):
Oh, I say less than too high? Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4 (51:19):
But you don't think Dallas was still one game?
Speaker 5 (51:23):
I said, I think they'll still one. I feel like
it's going to go to a game six. I really do.
I think it'll go to a game six. I still
think it'll go to a game six. But I will
say this, after watching yesterday how comfortable and confident the
Celtics were in playing against this Mavericks team, it looks
(51:46):
like it is a style differential. H It is a
style match that is totally in favor of the Boston Celtics.
And and that that says something because you would think
that the West is the more dominant of the two sides,
and for the Celtics to be so relaxed and so
(52:07):
comfortable in such a big game, a big series. That's
that's that's concerning. If you if you're a if you're
a Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
Fan, plus four hundred on Celtics sweep, according to Lee.
To laugh, Lee was rewatching the pre and post, starring
with Leek Andrews. So we just wanted to make sure
that we got the correct odds.
Speaker 10 (52:31):
On that.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
So we are we are good to go on that.
So plus four hundred. If you believe that the Boston
Celtics are not going to lose another game, that'll that'll
pay out four to one one hundred dollars four hundred
or in my terms, ten dollars. So that's how that works.
But hey, listen, we'll see game two coming up. Was
it fourth of July? I believe, so it will be
(52:53):
later at the corner it is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. All I
forgot to mention this to you guys, and I should
have said that.
Speaker 5 (53:01):
You should have damnit. It was too busy singing Jonas
knocks the Jonas knock. So it's a football fright there

Why do you submit your song? Then?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I just, I mean, are we ready to go? Do
you guys already sim yours?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We've already moved on from Yeah, well you take too long?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, well listen, I'll get on that. But I know,
it's good to be back here. It's good to be back,
you know, it feels it feels good to be back
at this bright and early hour at three o'clock Pacific time,
after a few days off it was only four days off,
but it felt like a lot longer than that for
some reason.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Yeah, it was over the weekend, it was six Your
trip to Transylvania was good.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Here's the only question, a boy, did your vacate coffin?
How did it work out for you? Hey?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You pale dog?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Extra one question for you, Jonas?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Did you take off your show Saturday?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Did you really?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Oh wow, legitimately took time off.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, too, took time off, but uh yeah that probably
would be happening again.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Times are changing, boy, they said Jonas Knoxa never changed.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I said, I know, I told you I never changed.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
But when I got that contract for two Pros and
Cup of Joe, I was lying, rich bitch, Damn.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now it's good. Uh, you know, it's good to be
with the family. I want want to spend some night
with the family. Yeah, completely, Uh, just disengage. Disengage from
next year. It's like the Olympics. Try four years, it's
uh never Just completely disconnect from social media all that stuff.
(02:41):
You just don't need it and just hang out with
the fam. And I got to go to Chicago and
have a good time and you know, take take my
son to a couple of Cubs games with like he
loves baseball, loves the Cubs.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Also his reaction to the Cubs like, I mean, what
was his response? How'd they do?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
By the way, oh lost both games? You went to?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
What do you get?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
What do you explain?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
The Cubs?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's why I'll say this. There is and I haven't
been out there in a couple of years, but I'm
reminded every time I go out there. The greatest player
in the history of the Cubs franchise is Wrigley Field
and the neighborhood it's in and that's it. And anybody
that tells you anything different, Ernie Banks, Sammy Sosa, all
these great players that have been there, that's the star
(03:23):
of the franchise. That's the star of the team. And
it's just there's nothing like it. They've done it. It's
gotten very corporate in some parts of it. But like
when you go out to a game there, it's just
different there than it is in a lot of other places.
And the team stinks for the most part. They won
last night, big whoop. They stink for the most part,
(03:43):
But the fact that they've got that venue and that
atmosphere when you go there, it's awesome. So it was
fun to take him there and he got to see
the game. And all he wants to do is play baseball,
Like he just wants to throw the ball, he wants
to hit it. We were downstairs, not really, He's he's
got a skill set that I do not have, Like
I don't have hand eye coordination for crap. He's got
(04:05):
all of it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And it comes from the mom's side.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Gotta be either that or I got to start asking
this question maybe, like because it does not make any sense.
We went down so we had we were sitting in
the sun on on the for the Friday day game,
and it was, you know, too hot for my wife,
So let's let's go downstairs. It's too hot.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We don't you know if she brought her mom with her.
So they were like, you know, we want to get
in the shade somewhere. So I was like, all right,
that's fine. So we go downstairs. We're in the bleachers
and he just like has a bat with him that
we got across the street before the game and just
starts asking me to pitch to him, and so I'm
pitching him the ball he's hitting home runs downstairs. He's
(04:47):
running through people that are standing in line to get concessions,
and he's sliding as if there's a base on the
on the floor, and he's got like a crowd around him.
Everybody's happy for him, they're celebrating them. So it was
really fun to take him there to get to see it.
And the older he gets, the easier it gets to
travel with him. Tried it a couple of years ago,
which I'm sure you guys have dealt with little kids
(05:08):
on planes. Not great, but he handled it like a
chance with multiples. That's I thought. I thought about that
because I saw people with multiple like young kids three
and under getting onto the plane, and I'm like, dude,
how do Brading LeVar do it?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't it is I don't like that is a
testing of your pace. That's going to be the most
stressful part of the entire trip. Like if you can
get through that, it seems like everything else is good.
And then parents just look like they were worn out
by the time.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Pretty much.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I mean, it starts when you get to the airport
and it ends when you get to the hotel or
wherever you're going. But the toughest part is always the
bathroom scenario because when they're that young, like they can't
go on their own, and those things are so small,
depending on the plane you're on, you've got to go
in and help them.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And obviously it's just it you can't fit exact damn
I can't fit. You're gonna add, right, one more little
child in there, like good luck. But yeah, everyone's really
looking at you.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
As you walk down the aisle of going good luck pal,
like thanks man, good luck pal.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Not so cute good luck pal. Yeah, that is part.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I didn't think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It is tidy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And the fact that you guys would have to like
go take the kids in there and and uh and
do all that is just that feels like, you know,
there are some there.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Are some flight attendants though, that will look and be like, oh,
she's fine, they're good.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'm like, no, she's not.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
She's four years old. She's too short to even reach
the latch like to lock it. So no, like like
an adult needs to go with her. I'm her dad.
Like there's there's certain flight attendants who get a little
too over the top with it, like what's what's this
man doing with this young child?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
That's my daughter. Yeah, I have three of them.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I know, it's I know it's odd now like people
have multiple kids, Like it seems odd to people. I
have three kids. We actually have a fourth. So there's
just there's just a whole train of kids coming your way.
Just get used to it, lady.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Which, by the way, when nature calls them kids at
a and age, they not worried about what the flight
attendant has to say or anything like that, or daddy's
saying it's gonna be okay, like we'll get there.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
You better beat it. You better beat the clock.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
You better beat the clock, because then now it gets
even worse because it's like, well, what are you doing,
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Just two more seconds? We can't get two more seconds? No,
hold on, hold on.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Now you go from having to do the restroom in
the restroom in the body to now you have to
go up over top you you gotta find a change
of clothes or you go into cause they're not there
have been accidents where they're not baby babies, right, so
you don't have like a baby bag for them. They
(07:52):
had an accident. They're a little bit like a little
bit bigger, and so now you got to change their clothes.
I mean, it's just hey man, it's uh, it's it's
a rite of passage, is what. Because you can laugh
at it now, but in the moments.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You can cry.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You you can be stressed out to like a heart
attack or a stroke like it's it's no, it's not
it's no gang, it is no game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I will say this though, once you become a parent,
your patience and empathy for other parents in situations like
that goes to and.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Look at them like it's like that hold that that
cup up in the glass, gas the air.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How can I help all right? Or we're in this together,
like trust is like everybody's fighting a battle here and
you're trying to trying to deal with it in public with.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Them, or they look at you they say it'll be okay.
They get you that it'll be okay. Look like you
look at them like, yeah, it'll be okay, Like I was.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Worried about so on the Friday they have.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
This feel sends on the airline, by the way, m
because because every airline's got different customers there, if it's Southwest,
they know what they're signing up for.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I know we should beating Southwest.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's what I took. I took Southwest. Maybe problem problem
solved the.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Time as a nightmare in a Southwest flight.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
I'm sorry, but every every passage your nose, that's a possibility. Okay,
you go on one of the domestics, if you have Delta, like, oh, sorry,
this is Delta. Can you please get your kid off
the plane. Man, we're at thirty thousand feet. I cannot
to calm down. It's like, it's Delta. We're here for business.
It's Delta. Then if it's American, they'll probably just find
(09:30):
some weird way of charging you more money for your ticket. Right,
they'll be like a feed there'll be something involved. Hey,
by the way, you lost these points because your kid
was loud on the plane. We we penalized and we
find you. That's where American style. By the way, if
on United, they will literally beat your child as you
go down the autor just beat the child all the
way off the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And if it's Spirit, they'll let them fly the plane
for a couple of minutes. Yeah, don't work'll figure it out.
Yeah we're good. Nobody paid for this flight. And anyways, yeah,
that was one of the things, like he was, you know,
kind of running around, getting restless and getting antsy and
just wanted to run outside. When we got outside the
stadium kind of cruising around on Friday, they have this
(10:12):
area called Gallagher Way where kids can play and all that.
And so there's other kids, like adult kids or like
grown kids rather, that are playing catch with their dad
and this one guy, so he just no, I like
grown kids. I misspoke.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
So he.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Like grown kids, like, yeah, like bigger. And so he's
running around and I'm trying to like gather him up
and all that. And I'm like, hey, my wife was
in the bathroom or probably shopping again, knowing her, but
so I kind of gathered trying to gather him up.
But I tell the dad, say, hey, sorry about that.
You know, he's just a little He's all, bro, look
at my kid. I dealt with the same crap. We're all, hey,
(10:50):
we get it, don't worry about it. You're good. I'm like, okay,
I just you know, I just want to make sure
he's not kissing you guys off you're trying to play
catch and all that. So it was fun, but yeah,
it is. It is interesting to see he gets older
and you travel the empathy level that other parents have
for their parents.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Are you basically just exposed to the fact that you
have not been able to like get your kid to
be able to listen to you?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Because I feel like every part of the story involves
your son doing.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So excited he was. He was so excited.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Cocker spaniel dude.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He loved it, like he just he could not get
an outside.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
And it makes me wonder, how many times have you
ever taken the kid on the kids.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
On a trip.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is the first one that he kind of gets
what's going on. He was real like he didn't really
know what was happening the last couple of times. This time,
like because he was built up in his mind like
we're going to Chicago. We're going to Chicago, We're going
to go see the Cubs. I was like, yeah, we're
going to go see the Cubs. And he got there
and he just loved it, and so I was all right,
he wants to run around, he wants to like we
don't have it's not who got a backyard. It is
(11:52):
probably the most grass he's ever seen it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Take him to a park. I mean that is possible.
Bring Uncle Varr's house too, you know, you could do that.
There's a pool here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, well that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Listen, Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah that's I mean, but at least I've made the
invitation now to both of you and to lead the lap.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
So well you know.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I'm going to be there at gonna be in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yes you expected?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Who these two white dudes with long hair on. I
don't know, let me look sunburn.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
I feel like my commented yesterday. The text the group
text chain kind of killed the conversation. But honestly, I
was like, dude, Lee, at some point, man, we got
to grow up. I don't know what you're doing in
your free time, but hanging out with Todd's not gonna
get you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There was that a twister exhibit you guys radly?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Yeah, yeah, well it was at the movie theater and
they had one of those like if you would like
put money in a in a tube and blow it
up and you have to grab as much money as
you can. It's one of those things that I think about,
is Todd like forty, No, Todd's younger than me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Okay, I mean it's just screaming. As a grown adult.
I was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm I'm laughing at it. Pratty's first reaction is you
got to like get some kids or something.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Like, something needs to be interjected into your life to
force you to grow up, like it's time.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's time.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Man.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
After witnessing that, listen, do you guys giggle?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Figured that's funny. I'm like, what grown a dolt is
doing that in the afternoon on a weekday?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Right after that, By the those are big Jonas Knox fans, right,
I mean you gotta think, isn't that what Jonas is?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Like?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Lifelong like dream?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I would love it. Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
So they were like thinking about it, like, let's plan
out something that Jonas would enjoy. Let's go to a
tornado storm.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Chasing storm chasing a storm chasing trip. Please that is
don't even get me started. Can I also ask you
guys this.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I would do it with you guys, just for the
content of it, like to collect the content. I just
wouldn't want to catch up with a real storm, like
a real tornado. Yeah, Like I wouldn't want to do it,
but I would go for the content of it.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I mean that, Yeah, that's that's the best part.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I'd rather the.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Disappointment of us not finding it and being able to
live through it, you know, versus going with you guys
and a tornado actually touching down.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I'd love to be in a stressful scenario with all
of us just to see how you all would react.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
How you think we react? I know we're late, but
how do you think?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Like cute, like you do great analysis, How do you
think we would react if we actually found ourselves in
a total stretch and you can get this scenario, how
do you think we would react?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, I'll say, don't exclude yourself by the way.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Okay, we're all hanging out and uh, there's a tornado,
so we'll just we'll play on the twister thing of
this twister.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Uh, Lee would have panic, but it would be like delayed.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Panic, and it would be one in which, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Delayed a little bit.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
It would be slowed panic because he's a little intox
kidd his motor skills, so he would be like, man.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He's a tornado really coming, dude, Yeah it really is windy.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Man, it closed the doors, dude. It's like.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
So Lee would be die man, stumbling around trying to
figure out like what like what to do?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
All right, I think LeVar would.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Probably be pretty chill about it, but at the same
time it'd be one of those like, man, we gotta
get the hell out of here, and he would probably
be trying to, like, I don't know, to go outside,
get his car and leave or whatever else. Jonas would
try to act cool, even though he'd be bothered by
it and probably start getting up and start like pacing
around or just like kind of looking at like at
his phone and not really quite sure what to do.
(16:11):
And I would just tell you guys to go to
the basement. Like that would be more how I'd react
to I'd probably be laughing.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I'd leave mostly, I mean, I'd try and be getting
a connection so we could do the show from there.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Actually, I take that back. Jonas would be on radio,
so I.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Would absolutely bring the comrades and be like, hey, we
gotta do Hey.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
He'd be calling Shappy to be able to be like, hey,
Shappy when when LeVar Britti die, I'm gonna take their show, Shappy,
Scott Shapiro's now vaulted the Shappy after four ta.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
See.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I think I would turn into Macguiver, like like you
get that chair over there, get those things right there.
Grab grab the toolbox. We gotta we gotta create with gallops.
So you think that, well, I'll be over in the
corner like I'm hurt.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Someone's gonna pick me up.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Don't care, Jonas, let's go ground As what had the
window open with his shirt with his chest out, like.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I gotta see it, man, I gotta see it.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
And Lee would be on the floor looking up my
Jonah's like is it there? Is it there?
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Torn up? Can you see it? Can you see anybody?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You gotta some kids or something.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Lee would be like, hey man, is that Helen Hunt?
Like what's happening?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
You know my dad? You know my dad did a
tornado exhibit. Then he gets sucked up into the sky.
It slash Lee in the twister like hey man, hey man,
so bad?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
The best taught to be right there. It got me earlier. Man,
we're together. What took you so long to get here?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just like Brady's, Brady's final solution to lease day drinking
is like, you gotta get kids. Please get a kid.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
I mean, I don't even want Lee to get like
a dog because I'm a little concerned about that situation.
Like you need something that's going to grow up, be
able to talk back to lead to like get him
like going in the right direction.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You tweeted out you and Todd and the tornado segment.
I did, Yes, I did, has heard on two pros
and a couple joke. Yeah, all right, well listen to
lots of lots.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Toot it more.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I'd probably be like pessimistic, like I don't know, just
upset with like how everyone's reacting, complaining at the table
about it.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And then I'd probably get sucked up in it. Two
I'm gone. Yeah, Jonas would be doing radio while he
gets sucked up into it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What a way to go out, though.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
But LaVar would survive. LaVar would be fine. He would
just be somewhere. I don't know what he'd be doing,
but he would be fine. He'd be the only one
that survived.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, I actually would have had I would have headed
for hopefully what would be a.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Bathtub that was big enough to fit me in there
we get under a staircase or something early down in
the basement. You know they say bathtubs too, bro, I
think it's for bombs. No, no bad. If you get
in a bathtub with a tornado. There's a chance you're
basically in a boat. If that thing picks you up,
you're just flowing around in a boat there a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I mean, hey, okay, hey, hey, well listen, it is
a two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
I definitely want to go into a storm den. But
if you don't have a den, what's the next best

Bath of it?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I'm going in the bathtub, man.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
And I could be the worst and be wrong for it,
but you know what, I'll be up in that air tying. Well.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I can recall not that long ago where the subject
popped up during the NCAA tournament after Yukon won another
tournament in which Dan Hurley, the head coach of the
Yukon Huskies, said no, not interested in the Kentucky job.
(21:27):
They're looking to pursue a three peet there in Yukon.
They're trying to make some history and they've got a
real opportunity to do so. And so because of that,
we turn it over to Eddie Garcia for some breaking news.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
All right, jonas well. Here in Los Angeles, has been
a lot of talk about JJ Reddick possibly being the
next head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. However, some
breaking news this morning from NBA insider Adrian origen Enarowski,
who is reporting the Los Angeles Lakers are targeting Yukon's
Dan Hurley to become the franchise's next head coach. They're
preparing a massive, long term contract offer to bring the
(22:10):
back to back national championship head coach to the NBA.
There are reports they've had preliminary contact with Hurley, but
they are planning to escalate discussions in the coming days.
So they are apparently going hard after Dan Hurley, the
back to back national championship. When you coach at Yukon
to be the next head coach of the.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Lakers makes wow. I like it more than wow, makes
way more sense.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
That is?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
That is.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
I mean, it's not that surprising, I guess only because
of his success and so forth. But I mean when
you listen to Dan Hurley talk about their success at Yukon,
how they constructed their roster, how they recruit, I don't
know how that jives or connects with Lebron. Now maybe
(23:01):
I'm wrong, but he seems to be like someone who
obviously wants control and doesn't want to have a player
trying to dictate metal determine who's on his team. Now,
Rob Polenka, who looks exactly like Rob low Is, it's
(23:23):
my understanding that he's the one who's ultimately making this
decision quote unquote at least that's what's being put out
there publicly. But come on, we all know how Lebron
operates and how he's been operating. This is either a
divide between the two or somehow Lebron is fully on
(23:45):
board with this and willing to at this point kind
of give up the reins.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
And maybe.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I don't know, maybe you look at the JJ Reddick situation, say,
you know, we don't We're a little concerned about the
storied franchise heading over to the keys to a guy
who's never been head coached before. So I think as
you dig deeper into if it is going to be
Dan Hurley, the reasons why, and I wonder how many
of them have to do with Lebron checking them off,
(24:15):
or if this is more of the organization's decision. We know,
we know Petros has lamented about how everyone's getting nailed
by the king.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Maybe this is an instance where that's not the case.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
There's only two coaches that you could bring in that
would exist that would not be under the influence of
what Lebron James wants, and that would be pat Riley
and Phil Jackson.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
I'm not even going to put Eric Spoulcher draw on
there for the for the Los Angeles Lakers, those will
be the only two names I could think of that
would come in. And you can stand up to saying
to the GM and to Lebron that this is what
it is. I think that this is a product of
conversations and comfort level of development of a college player.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Let alone bring the.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Skill of and the playbook that you have a lot
of people lotted Hurley's playbook, the evolution of how they
were running the baseline, the pick and rolls, the screens,
the way that he architected what was going on there
for the Huskies. I think, I think if you're talking
(25:38):
about bringing in a college coach that is running college
style offenses, even if it does translate to the pros,
there had to have been the conversation when.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
It's it worked out, when's the last time success in college?
I mean, he's I mean, they didn't win a championship.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I get it. But he turned into an organization.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I get it. I mean, and now it's in the
front office.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
It's kind of feels a little different, like I don't
even know if that's the example I'd use only because
if and this is something that you know well because
you're a Boston fan. We're talking about one of the
most storied franchises in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Their standard isn't like, Oh, they've turned it around. Their
standards win a championship.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
So the Lakers have tried this before they reached out,
They were trying to hire Mike Krzyzewski back in the
day like Kobe loved Mike Krzyzewski. Obviously it didn't work out.
I want to ask you, guys this from the Dan
Hurley side, because Dan Hurley's got everything he could possibly
want in college basketball, with an opportunity on the doorstep
of history to go for a three peat, and they
(26:49):
were dominant two tournaments in a row in the hardest
playoff format that there is in sports outside of the money,
and I'm sure the money is going to be huge
as far as this goes. Do you think, much like
maybe in college football, that the NIL era and conversation
and everything that comes along with that had anything to
(27:11):
do with his decision to want to get out of
college basketball now.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
As possible, That's very possible, Like I see where this
is heading as possible.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
What I find interesting about that is you know again
he he he talks a lot about how he goes
about recruiting guys and he's not necessarily always looking for
the best recruit coming out of high schools. It's the
right fit. And the way he goes about looking at
the family the player, the people around the player, their
(27:40):
ability to have that grit and desire to want to,
you know, compete and earn it not just be giving something.
So it might have played a factor, but he just
he's so different in how he sees his roster construction,
how he wants to build a team. And that's that's
what I find interesting, is that it feels like he's
been heavily involved in that in the college life and
(28:00):
sometimes in the pros that's not the case. You're kind
of deal you inherit a roster. You may not have
many decisions as to what you can do with that
roster from a business standpoint, or you may not be
a part of those negotiations and conversations at all and
just be dictated and told who's going to be there.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
That's a tough spot to be in for any head coach.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I think this is this is.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Lebron James written all on it and and it has
get my son to Lakers written all on it.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
I was just gonna say, his son fits the profile
of like what Dan Hurley would want, like a guy
who you know, people are doubting, a guy who people say,
like he's not a draft pick yet, but he might
be in the future, but it's not yet, right, So
why is he being trapped? Why is he gonna be
drafted this year? Why is the team? Well because his
dad's Lebron, but he would feed off of that. For
(28:57):
a young man who I think is gonna work hard,
I think is gonna like try to prove any any
doubters out there wrong.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Like it fits completely in the wheelhouse, I think.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
And another thing is, you know, if Lebron's looking for
a way of at the end of his career trying
to still add on some championships, there might be an
element too of just saying, like, this guy's gonna come
in and build a team around me one way. You know,
if you look at what he did at Yukon look
out and selfish, that team was the different pieces they had.
They you know, he doesn't necessarily have to highlight Lebron
(29:28):
in order to win. They can kind of share in
all those success and share the ball and everything else
that goes.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Along with it.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Do you think there's possibly maybe a little under the
table compromise here where they're like, listen, we can't have
everything right. You can't get to pick and choose your
coach and also play with your son. We're picking the coach.
We'll see what we can do about bringing your son.
I don't think that's what it is.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Well to that point, though, you have to think the
decision they make for the coach is probably going to
I mean, you'd think an NBA can turn over just quick.
But if you're making this big of a monumental commitment
to the Dan Hurley or the coach in this case,
he's going to outlast Lebron.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Correct Now you're hitting on it. Now you're hitting on
it to me, I think that Lebron James is looking
at the Dan Hurley situation as a win for him
to be able to one implement a dope ass offense
immediately out the gate that could possibly give him an
opportunity to compete, compete for another title before he gets
(30:33):
up out of here. But then two, if you're going
to bring in my son, who better to develop my
son moving forward and talking about a blockbuster deal. It's like, Okay, well,
if you're doing a blockbuster deal for Dan Hurley, he's
going to be here for an extended amount of time.
That gives me, That gives my son the stability and
the opportunity to actually make it in the league. I
(30:57):
would say at this point, trying to win one more
champion ship, but actually situating a tremendous market and a
tremendous historical franchise for his son to have extended success
as as a professional ballplayer. Those have got to be
the only two things that Lebron's thinking about right now.
(31:18):
If you if you ask me, I mean, what else
would there be?
Speaker 6 (31:23):
I I guess the question becomes then you know, was
broad and not recruited by Yukon in the first place.
It's not like he just played one year of college
ball and you know, Dan's been going on a run
the past couple of years.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Was there interest?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Was there not from the James family because he didn't
want to have to go to play all the way
across the country the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Yeah, I think that it was strategic to send him
to USC. I thought it was very strategic. You're you're
introducing him. He's already played his high school ball here.
That's thee er Canyon goes to a local a local
college at USC, and now he's going into the draft.
(32:06):
I just think, and now it kind of makes you think, like, dang,
Darvin Ham, Like all you had to do was drave Bronnie,
and they might have gave you another.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
They might. They might.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
You said, I'm not taking Bronnie. They got your hands up,
out of there. Out of there, we got we gotta
clear it away for baby boy to come in and
they get in in these doors. If y'all gonna keep
lebron James Senior around, y'all gonna have to make some concessions.
And this is how it's gonna work out, and this
is how it's gonna happen. That's what sounds like to me.
I mean, this is posturing if you ask me. But
(32:37):
it's a great move because you get an immediate boost
and a tremendous coach that understands offense. That's one. And
then two, if he's actually willing, which I would assume
that that's gonna be something that's like in the leveraging
of all of this is you're gonna draft my son.
You want Lebron, You got to bring my son boom,
(32:59):
you develop him, you get a long term deal. I
get out of the way, I get out of yours hair,
and y'all move forward, you know with the team.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, with my son, so we will keep you again.
That is the breaking news out of the NBA and
of the world of sports that the Lakers are targeting,
According to Adrian Warznarowski, Yukon's Dan Hurley to become the
franchise's next head coach. They're preparing a massive, long term
contract offer to Hurley, so the interest is definitely there.
(33:30):
They are meeting and discussing it. If that gets finalized
before we are off the air, we'll have the latest
on that. But again the breaking news. Dan Hurley in
serious consideration for the Lakers head coaching job, so much
so that things have progressed to where a massive offer
contractually is impending. That'll be coming up here shortly, and
(33:51):
I don't know, let me see if we can find
that on DraftKings. Because if you had money, if you
were like me, and you were like man, if I
had to bet on this, I'm gonna go JJ Redick,
you just lost your ass thinking that you were going
to get paid out, which.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Was the advice that you were giving the other week.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So I mean, look, you know, I don't know. Uh,
let me just see. I want to see if Dan
Hurley was even in consideration.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
I don't. I mean, there's probably another category.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
All right, let's see just if I can find something
here for you.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
I might have taken it off the board.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Let's see. So as of two days ago, JJ Reddick,
James Brego, Kenny Anderson, Kenny Atkinson and Anderson, Mike and Nori,
Chris Quinn, David Adelman, Rajon Rondo, Monty Williams, Terry Stotts
(34:45):
like he's nowhere to be found. Becky Hammond was on
this list to be the next head coach and nowhere
Paul Gasol was on this list. So you don't have
you don't have an odds list though, I'm just trying
to just write it off. That was the latest odds
as of well you're not giving us what the odds
were then, like plus four hundred was the next in
line behind uh minus two ten. Okay, yeah, that according
(35:10):
to DraftKings. So James Brego of the Pelicans, was a
plus four hundred at that point. So Dan Hurley nowhere
to be found, at least according to DraftKings within the
last two days. So very interesting. So it could be
Dan Hurley on his way to the Lakers, according to
Adrian Wartowski, to be their next head coach. So uh,
(35:31):
fun way to start the hour. Here a little breaking
news about that, Lorena, Like you don't get breaking news
on this show. It's like the fourth breaking news story
you've gotten on this show.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
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 2 (35:50):
It just appears like there's a bit of a gap between.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
It's theis, it's the pingus efect poringis ordered, that poorsingis.
Last year, I did get some porzingis, yeah I did.
It was like, let me get a little bit of
persingis on some of that result.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
They dropping some threes on them.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Let me dang.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
They were loose, man, They were loose. They were comfortable,
they were confident. I don't know how they're going to
play on the road, but if they can defend home
like this. They're in pretty good shape.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I think they've won six in a row on the road,
so they've been uh just they've actually been better over
the past couple of years on the road by a
large margin than at home. But yeah, that was and
once that onslaught like Dallas got it to eight. Yeah,
they wanted to give it away.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Now.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
They they wanted They almost were like Minnesota like in
that third quarter.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Geez, you know they're listening on Kfan right now. I mean,
I'm just saying they wanted to give it away. Damn man.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
The Mavericks was walking them down. They were walking them down,
and they just went cold, like they couldn't catch anything.
They couldn't catch any type of shots going in. So
I don't know, man, that's it gave. It was interesting
to see the MAVs pull it to eight.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I was like, looking at the score, I'm like, I'm like,
is my math off?
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Like I'm really sitting there trying to figure out how
they're getting that how they got that close?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
But they they did.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
And if I'm if I'm Jason Kidd and I'm the
Dallas Mavericks, I got to think about what were we
able to do to alter their their offensive output because
they I mean, you gotta say, early on their their
output was like kind of like, I mean, can they
sustain that? Can they can they hit that many threes?
(37:55):
All they do is chuck threes. I mean they do
go to the whole. Jalen was going to the whole
dunked on somebody's neck. I don't know who that was,
but he dunked on somebody.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
And Tatum was going to the whole little bit too.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
But they just shoot like they just be shooting, Like
give them the ball, shoot guy in their face, shoot,
they just shoot. If they're making it, it's gonna be
hard to keep up with them because there's too many
of them that can shoot.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But when they go cold, you can see when they
go cold, you got a chance.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Then the question becomes what can you do as a
defense to try to guard the perimeter but at the
same time be able to like limit them to like
one shot.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
That's gonna be to me, that's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
The key to this series is how does Jason Kidd
adjust to the fact that you literally have five guys
on the court that can shoot it from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
On the court.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
That's a tough that's a tough, tough challenge to try
to figure out a scheme and a game plan for.
And by the way they play defense, they d That's
the other thing too.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yeah, they d you up.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
Man.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
They ain't just letting you get easy buckets. They they
contesting you. That's tough. And I knew that was going
to be what Porzing gets added that extra little added dimension. Yeah, man,
the Horford Horford were showing that he could keep up.
He was showing he could keep up with.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Oh yeah, great points.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Showing up when he needs to, h yeah, popping off
shots when he needs to. So I'm talking about ye
been around the block of time.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Or two, been around that, been around that block, been
a onn that block.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
The Kyrie Irving struggles against Boston, I think he's oh
for his last owen eleven in his last eleven games
against the Celtics, since he stomped on the logo, he's
like owing six.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Celtics fan would know that, right, Well, no.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Because it's all over the place. I mean that's sort
of the discussions. Yeah, I mean you just yeah, you
just it's.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
The article I read literally just the first sentence said
since Kyrie stomped on the logo this is what is read.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
You saw the same one, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
It looked like a Celtics fanboy paper.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, listen, that's that's, you know, a reckless accusation again
to start off the show. And there needs to be
some fines handed out for this because this enough is enough,
all right, and things have got to change around here.
But Kyrie did talk about the atmosphere in Boston. He
did not play well. Uh Luken needed a little bit
of help. He did not get it from Kyrie. But
here was Kyrie Irving discussing the game afterwards. I promise you,
(40:36):
I swear to Kyrie Irving was definitely discussing the game afterwards,
no doubt about it. He was absolutely discussing the game.
Well listen, okay, apparently maybe he was not discussing the game.
Kyrie Irving apparently was not discussing the game afterwards. No,
that's not yeah, that's uh, that's you know, let's just
(40:59):
scratch the whole thing. Let so let's just that's good,
all right. Take five did not work, all right, so
let's just go ahead and we'll wipe that up.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Point is Jonas, let's just start over start the period.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Unbelievable. He struggled and the Dallas Mavericks came up short.
But now that they head into Game two, do you
just basically if your Jason Kidd show them that six
minute stretch in the third quarter and say, if we
could just do this for the other portion of the game,
we've got a legitimate shot in this series. Because out
of the stands right now, the odds have shifted to
(41:35):
the Celtics a minus four to twenty five to win
this series. With three games left and three wins to
go for the Boston Celtics. So how do we feel
about the Dallas Mavericks chances moving forward?
Speaker 6 (41:47):
I mean, it's gonna taken and Kyrie playing as good
as they can possibly.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Play every single game.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
There is no support of the outside of those two,
at least not enough to overcome one of them having
an off night, and clearly Kyrie had an off night
last night.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
That whole logo stomping thing. It's just stuck with them forever, agreed,
But that's the difference in the two rosters.
Speaker 6 (42:12):
You know, if you look at Boston like they have
so many different ways of scoring, so many different people
that can pitch in and now with Porzingis, it's just
it's it's overwhelming at times, right, the different ways they
can play, the different ways they can score defensively, how
they can match up, and just it feels like it's
gonna take a heroic effort from Docis and Kyrie to
(42:33):
make this thing work. And I mean look good for
the Celtics. I feel like for guys like you know, Jonas,
who have rooted for the Celtics for a long time,
big a big time fan, you finally get a championship
and it didn't take like a Big three. You know,
this is to me, this is a roster and this
is a team that has a foundation that can last.
(42:54):
You have to give a lot of credit to Brad
Stevens Joe Mizzula for the job they've done.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Is it do you guys find it offensive? And I'll
ask Brady this, all right, so LeVar, you can't really
comment on this. This is yeah, that's because I'm black. Well,
I mean listen, Drew Holiday. Drew Holiday said afterwards, when
that happened me, what about that that messed up there?
Uh So Drew Holiday set after the game that even
(43:25):
our white guys guard. Okay, So is anybody offended by
the fact that he is pointing out that even even
the white players in the Boston Celtics also guard.
Speaker 5 (43:35):
That seems strange. Yeah, like because I would think that
you would. I think that the white boys would be
playing like fundamentally sound defense stuff like that because they're
not maybe as athletic as the brothers.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Does he take a shot at Luca?
Speaker 2 (43:56):
That's a great pool. Because they were pointing that out
right to where Jays. Some kid was saying, you know,
as long as they just participate defensively talking about Kyrie
and Luca, which feels like a great pool. Q dang shaye.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
I mean, why else would you make that comment?
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Well, I think you know, Peyton, Pritchard, Sam Hauser.
Speaker 10 (44:18):
I had them all out there, the Celtics white, they
had there to defend. I'm just saying, why else would
you Celtics Baby, You're you're saying a mage a comment
like that to contrast what you do and what they
don't do.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yeah, I mean I feel like you might have you
might have hit on something there.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Jonas doesn't think so they didn't.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
Mention the other the other guy with the ballhead that's
like to what's what?
Speaker 2 (44:45):
What is?
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Who is he?
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Derek White?
Speaker 4 (44:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Yeah that Brady told me that was the best part
about him was his last name, yeah, which which I
thought to be a little bit over the top. He
plays defense. I don't know, you didn't say that.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Great de that's a great shooter.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
There is the next factor, definitely, that's for sure. That
is for sure.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
But I will take of an art team we can.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, we got to really decide on some stuff here,
all right.
Speaker 4 (45:13):
Well, but they get Lucas. Yeah, we do get Luka.
We already talked about that.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Very true. You guys get Luca and and wit Sky
Dirt get Dirt. Oh yeah, you get Dirt. Look him up,
gets Dirk if you know Dirk, look him up. What
I'm saying, look him up? We had him. Yeah, he's
with us. But I don't think that that's he's I
don't know, look him up. Yeah, I mean he does
(45:41):
have the resume. Dirt noted that. Yeah, Dirk, the lap
he does what Dirt?
Speaker 4 (45:50):
What?
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Oh boy, make some noise. This is why I struggled
to sign off on Drew Holiday making the comment even
our white guy's guard is a direct shot at Luca,
because LaVar, you've pointed this out black and blue, you
know European. Is that the same thing? I mean, what's
it all about?
Speaker 4 (46:17):
Just the U?
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Just this, just the skin?
Speaker 4 (46:21):
What was that all about?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
I'm just the Weather Channel. Tell you that, do you think?
Tell you that I think you are Ian and are
out Ian? Yeah, get that out of the way. Well, listen,
it's unfortunate if you're a Dallas Mavericks fan, not the
way you expect a game one to go. Also, I
was gonna mention this yesterday, and it seems pretty obvious
(46:45):
to me. Luca doesn't look one hundred percent like he
does not like. He looks like he's trotting up and
down the floor at a really slow pace. And I
don't know if that's just the way he plays or
he's still dealing with whatever he's dealing with when it
comes to the knee injury.
Speaker 5 (46:59):
But he also not look one percent as a finals man.
Doesn't matter a right. You don't get that. You don't
get that one right there. You don't get to check
that box off. You can't do it.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Listen, I'm trying to find uh, you can't do it.
Trying to find a glimmer of hope for the Mavericks here.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
Well, it's saying that Luca is banged up and can't
get it done is not giving them hope.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
And also we had to wait for two months for
the finals to start, and then we got to wait
until Sunday for Game two. We can't. We can't get
this thing going on Saturday. Like they got to push
it all.
Speaker 5 (47:34):
Definitely, maybe one day on one day off and come on, man,
let's get it done.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Game three's covered stinks.
Speaker 10 (47:42):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
I mean, I don't care if people take issue with that,
all right, it's not even close to TNT.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
It's just not man, I gotta disagree. I mean, listen
the way Stephen A. Smith came walking into that arena,
you best better know that that es in is all
about that smoke.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
You need to make sure people know your joke When
you say I.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
Am joking, I'm I'm joking.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
By the way, it's why are you walking with the
security guard?
Speaker 4 (48:13):
Period? Is little bag?
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Why is white? Is ESPN put a camera on him
making his walk into.
Speaker 5 (48:21):
I think there's somebody behind the scenes that is sitting there,
like Steven A is a d bag and I want
the whole world to see it.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Will he thinks he's being this like conquering hero. I
want the world to see it.
Speaker 5 (48:36):
On my way out of ESPN, I'm gonna raise my
hand be like it was me that was doing the
ISO shots and stem when it was coming into the arena,
like he was like he was about to go, like
about to go warm up. Let me beside the monograms.
I'm gonna go get go, get to the shoot around.
Speaker 4 (48:55):
And here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
I like Steven A. Smith. He did this show in
this time saw years ago. He is an FSR alum
who cares. But it's got to stop. This has got
to stop. Somebody's got to pay it.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Loves himself, bro, I've never even paid that much attention
to Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Smith. To be honest with you, I never, like, I never.
Speaker 6 (49:16):
That's all part of ESPN though, annoying him putting on
the platform to make him feel like he is that.
Speaker 4 (49:23):
I mean that that that's part of it too. But again,
aside from Steven A.
Speaker 6 (49:28):
Smith and it, it's just their coverage that the in
game coverage, it's just nothing is even close to TNT.
The way they schedule these games is irritating, very similar
to why we had to wait until June sixth, but
now even waiting till Sunday, the whole entire thing. And
then they play a role now for people who are like, oh,
it's the NBA.
Speaker 4 (49:47):
No it's not. It's the TV network. They pay for it,
they've got to the programming.
Speaker 6 (49:51):
They're the ones who helped kind of shape when the
schedule actually comes out. They have a much greater input
than even the league. So it's it's frustrating because they
get stuff and they will take it and ruin it.
And I almost wonder too. And even with the talk
of the NBA and w n b A, because they've
got rights to those things, it's like they manipulate it
(50:14):
to not make it about the sport and and and
it's in an effort, I think, to hype up their
studio shows during the week so they have something to
talk about.
Speaker 4 (50:23):
So like now and now there's even like beef like.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
Where like you know, all former players are talking on
the studio shows, like that becomes the discussion point instead
of the actual games themselves.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
I hate it. It's hard to watch, man, it really is. Hang.
Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yeah, it's uh. And you know we've got another three
months until game two, so it's just good. We're gonna
be crap.
Speaker 5 (50:45):
At least at least you extend in the series. To
find a way to extend it in some way.
Speaker 4 (50:54):
Is there odds? Like what's the odds for a four
game sweep?
Speaker 5 (50:58):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Efforting? They might have went up yesterday, I'll.
Speaker 4 (51:01):
Tell you that.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Yes, let's see van for me here. It was a
little bit a little veget veggiet little bit.
Speaker 4 (51:08):
What would you guess they are if I the guess
would say plus?
Speaker 2 (51:16):
Oh, I say less than too high? Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4 (51:19):
But you don't think Dallas was still one game?
Speaker 5 (51:23):
I said, I think they'll still one. I feel like
it's going to go to a game six. I really do.
I think it'll go to a game six. I still
think it'll go to a game six. But I will
say this, after watching yesterday how comfortable and confident the
Celtics were in playing against this Mavericks team, it looks
(51:46):
like it is a style differential. H It is a
style match that is totally in favor of the Boston Celtics.
And and that that says something because you would think
that the West is the more dominant of the two sides,
and for the Celtics to be so relaxed and so
(52:07):
comfortable in such a big game, a big series. That's
that's that's concerning. If you if you're a if you're
a Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
Fan, plus four hundred on Celtics sweep, according to Lee.
To laugh, Lee was rewatching the pre and post, starring
with Leek Andrews. So we just wanted to make sure
that we got the correct odds.
Speaker 10 (52:31):
On that.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
So we are we are good to go on that.
So plus four hundred. If you believe that the Boston
Celtics are not going to lose another game, that'll that'll
pay out four to one one hundred dollars four hundred
or in my terms, ten dollars. So that's how that works.
But hey, listen, we'll see game two coming up. Was
it fourth of July? I believe, so it will be
(52:53):
later at the corner it is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. All I
forgot to mention this to you guys, and I should
have said that.
Speaker 5 (53:01):
You should have damnit. It was too busy singing Jonas
knocks the Jonas knock. So it's a football fright there
you go. Come on, Mark, come on, Yes, Friday football,
No dame coming up.
Speaker 4 (53:18):
So let's do something today to another game. So let's
do something football.
Speaker 5 (53:23):
Come on, come on, come on, God dang, come on,
you must be looking at what we're looking at all right,
come on.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
Mark, come on, Mark, here we go.
Speaker 11 (53:43):
