five twenty Pacific, the old p Petros Papadeka stops by,
but due to high demand, he's being asked to come

Petros Papadakas. He is the co host of the Petros
and Money Show, which you can hear on the Blowtorch
(01:58):
and five seven e LA Sports, Fox, college football analysts
and our good buddy Pee.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
What's happening?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Good morning, Hello, Hello to everybody, Good morning to you.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Hello, Petros.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
We need you to try and clear up some confusion
for us here on the show, if you could, Okay,
all right, So jj Reddick had this press conference, this
introductory press conference with the LA media, and somebody was
in the background like yelling in support of JJ Reddick.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, somebody asked me that yesterday. I don't know who
it was. Do you have a guess? Is it in
top three?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We were on live for that though, because the Dodgers
are in Chicago, so we were on for the second
half of the press conference, and it was pretty remarkable.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We were there for the double F bomb?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Did that get Guardian asked a question, Well, you know
how the dumb button works, right, of course.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So like the dumb button's kind of like a.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Like a water pressure mechanism or a hydraulic thing, like
it needs to be reset, right, So you drop one
F bomb, we dump it, and then it's got to
be reset. We dump another one if you drop the third.
It was getting on air. Yeah, you know, I don't
think JJ Reddick knows that or cares, but it was
pretty funny, you know, like, Hey, do you care about
(03:30):
all the people saying disparage things about you?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I don't e f and care. I want to be
the effing coach. It's like, all right, well it seems
like when you start dropping F bombs, it seems like
you care a little bit. But yeah, the Lakers hire
JJ Reddick, and we had the press conference and now
they're going to talk about it all summer long. It'll
be a whole thing and they remain in the twenty
(03:56):
four hour pantheon of what did what did jj Reddit
call it? Engagement farming industry? Yeah, yes, yes, thanks Ale,
Which so she has a part of yeah he yeah,
and they'll be and instead of being a coach, which
was his lifelong dream quote unquote, so if your lifelong
(04:17):
dream is a coach, you go coach. You go coach
at Memphis or something like Luke Walton. But anyway, we
had that whole thing and we all survived, and now
they'll be part of the engagement farming industry. Everything he does,
everything he says, everybody hires every chivato around the corner,
watching everything you do, everything you think chie It will
(04:39):
be like that all all summer long, except for the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
We have the Olympics, that is.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Right, We've got that to look forward to, which will
be awesome when it comes. But until then, we've got
you Petros, and we've got the Lakers. And I've got
to ask you this because I think you'd agree, like
this was Lebron's higher.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
That he wanted for head coach. Is that fair to say?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Now you have claimed that you've been bent over a barrel,
not my words, those are your words. Do you expect
to get bent over a barrel as well by JJ Reddick? Well,
there'll be two men bending you and Matt money Smith
over a barrel now for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
It's not Matt money Smith and I who are being
forced against our will by Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's everybody. Everyone's being to bed over a barrel.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Right.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
There's been a bunch of coopers who are like just
over time working to make enough barrels for us all.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The game over. So are you saying Petris at your
z and not Marcellus in pulp fiction? Is that what
you're saying? You're just watching it happen.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That's an interesting question.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I don't feel like I'm being mailed by the king,
you know what I mean. Like, I don't feel like
the King is laboring over me and Victory Motel in Glendale,
you know, you know what I mean. But it feels
like he's doing that to the entire basketball globe, right,
And I guess I'm sorry. It's a little earlier than normal.
(06:15):
So I'm a little foggy, and I was up kind
of late last night. But let me try and make
this as clear as possible. I think about and I
tried to make this analogy on the show and it
didn't work, but I'm gonna try it again. Think of
like nineteen sixties nineteen seventies American foreign influence right now,
(06:37):
and think of the Lakers as some weird South American
or Central American country with leadership that is somehow in
limbo between communism and capitalism in the sixties and seventies.
So let's say the Lakers are like Nicaragua. Okay, the
(07:00):
puppet government installed by the CIA is who Jj Reddick
and Rob Polinka? Who's the CIA? Lebron Paul No, yeah?
And Lebron yes yeah, yes. So we basically go through
(07:21):
all these weird motions, acting like there's been an election,
acting like this is the will of the public, acting
like the Lakers went and did their due diligence while
trying to hire a head coach. We sit there and
talk about quote unquote installing an offense, sit there and
talk about quote unquote player development, sit there and talk about,
(07:42):
you know, competing for a championship and all these things,
when really it's all just Lebron, Lebron, Lebron and whatever
Lebron wants and the fact that we're all doing this
and everybody sat there with a straight face and he
said that he didn't talk to Lebron, And then they're
going to do this whole thing about Bronnie James. You know,
they're gonna draft Bronnie James and they're gonna act like
(08:04):
Lebron had nothing to do with it, and the whole
media is gonna march at least the two three dozen people.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
That are subjects of the King.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
They're gonna do their thing and spin it that way
and talk about how JJ Reddicks somehow pat Riley or
JJ Reddicks's innovative basketball mind. If JJ Redick wanted to coach,
he should have gone into coaching, but he didn't have
to to become the Laker head coach. Why because Lebron
had him installed. It's the most clear thing in the world.
(08:37):
Yet it's almost too simple and too upsetting and to
tofamatory to say, yes, this is all Lebron's decision. Lebron
is doing all of this, Lebron is pulling all these strings.
He's able to do it with the Lakers because of
their week leadership. He's able to install a coach with
absolutely no experience beyond coaching a fourth grade team, and
(09:00):
they actually put that up on the ticker, like beyond
coaching youth basketball. It's like, I mean, that's the same
credentials as like half the men in my neighborhood. For
God's sake, you know, it's pretty amazing. And then we
just all just say, Hey, didn't this great? And oh
I love how he dropped an f bob. Look at
how irreverend he was. Oh, and it's just like, wow,
(09:23):
this was It was interesting, but it was basically a
foregone conclusion. It was something we've been talking about for months.
And if they really wanted Danny Hurley, they weren't have
low balled him.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Uh that's I guess that's the part that I find
I would almost have more respect and it wouldn't bother
me as much if Lebron just came out and said, yeah,
this is the guy that I wanted, and yes, I
did want them to draft my son. It's the fact
that the pretend game of well, no, none of that
is the case. His entire career, he's tried to dictate
(09:54):
to the organization what he wants, coaches, fired, players, traded
his entire career like I don't like. I think a
lot of us if we had that sort of influence,
we'd probably want that sort of influence on certain things,
like I would.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
As much as the whole the act of Oh, I
don't know, he in my face and tell me it's raised. Yeah,
Like I don't, I don't get And then you watch
after the press conference, JJ Reddick go and shake hands
with members of the media.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Oh, and they all go and kiss his ass and
a whole well, it's like when the president. It's like
when the State of the Union and everybody calls like
this is.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Supposed to be media and they're all fanboys and fangirls.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And laughing and shaking hands and lining up to shake
hands watch his balls And while those two F bombs
were really poigned in the moment, JJ, Wow, that was awesome,
you know, And maybe he'll end up being a great coach.
Who's to say, Like, he's definitely not a stupid guy.
I mean, he's definitely a guy that can communicate. And
(10:55):
I'm sure that he knows basketball in a very complex
and real way. But even saying all that, and let's
just say he was a real coach, let's just say
he was a guy with a quote unquote offensive system.
What does that mean, by the way, I mean, you
just hand the ball to Lebron and do what Lebron says,
(11:16):
what are your rotations?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Whatever? Lebron says, what do you I mean? It's it's
asinine that we have.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
To go through these motions as a media, and I've
resented it since we started, and it will continue because
they hired a guy with no experience, So it'll be
a story, like I said, all summer long and into
the season, and you know, it's like the Lonzo Ball
era or the end of the Kobe Bryant contract, the
(11:44):
last one. It's kind of like the Lakers will be relevant,
but they won't be relevant because they're good. They'll be
relevant because it's the Lakers and it's and it's a
dumpster fire.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Is this a byproduct though, of how the league works?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I mean, the NBA is propped.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Up, I guess as I compare it to like the NFL,
for example, we can have someone like Tom Brady who
is the greatest or has the greatest resume in NFL history,
is the goat retire and then someone immediately is stepping
in behind him in Patrick Mahomes to try to dethrone him,
like immediately right, and then maybe there's a little rivalry
(12:24):
too at the end of Tom's career with Patrick Mahomes
coming on.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But like the NFL seems.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
To continue to sustain and move forward and not really
have that hit of losing superstars, like the NBA differs
where Lebron means that much to the NBA obviously with
the way they go about scheduling, the way they go
about the news of the off season, where he's gonna be,
and everything that's propped up this NBA draft. I mean, honestly,
(12:50):
the biggest talking point of the NBA Draft has been
Bronnie James. And obviously it's a byproduct of Lebron James
because maybe that impacts where he goes.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
But I guess the.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Question I'm getting to is, as much as we want
to bemoan about what Lebron has done or hasn't done, Like,
isn't that kind of just how the NBA works, Like
we kind of blame him, But like if we're going
to compare him to Michael Jordan, if Michael Jordan was
doing this, would you have an issue with it too?
If that was if his son, you know, and he
had the chance to play with his son and all that.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, yeah, the son part. Yes, Michael Jordan did have a.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Son, you know, but he didn't play it long enough
and his son didn't have you know, I'm saying to that, I.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Mean, played in Central Florida. He's probably a lot better
at college at the end of the day than Bronny. No,
I take your point. Is it more of a byproduct
of the NBA? Well, you're speaking of the individual superstar
right nature of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It's the model they built, like this.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Is what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
These guys, Well maybe, but look at I mean, the
best thing to do with the Lakers and figure out
why they're in such tumult and why it's been such
an issue. And the COVID championship that everybody leans on
is another weird talking.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Point that everybody just boys.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, everybody just says and nobody believes, you know, and
you can say the same thing about even though it
was in front of people, the Dodger championship when they won,
and even though the city went crazy like they did,
they did much more so for the Dodgers championship during
COVID than when the Lakers won. But that whole thing
(14:24):
it rings kind of hollow to people that hunger and
crave for a real title and a real parade and
all of that stuff. So you look at that and say, well,
maybe this is how the NBA is.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
They cowtowned to Kobe.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
At the end of his career and kind of threw
the roster up in the air and threw their hands
up in the air and said whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Fine.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
But juxtaposed that against what the Lakers number one rival.
The thing that makes this look even worse the fact
that the Celtics are doing what they're doing and how
did they do it. They've had disappointments, they've had setbacks,
they had to fire their coach who was having an
affair or whatever with a hot mom some kind. But
(15:11):
they have consistency. They have the same players, they have
the same system. Their role players know exactly what they're
supposed to do on any given night. Their rotations are
very consistent. Everybody has an idea of what's expected and
from the top all the way down, and it's the
(15:32):
absolute opposite of what the Lakers have. And the Celtics
have superstars. They have guys that are max contract, big
time players, and they've figured it out and they've figured
out how to be there consistently on the top of.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
The mountain for the last few years.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Now there's a cyclical thing and saying this is their
time and you know when this guy gets old, it's
not going to be that way. But you look at
the Celtics and you say, well, that's how you do
it in modern times, or the Nuggets or somebody like that.
Keep the team together, keep the coach there, keep the consistency,
everybody knows what they're supposed to do. And that's kind
(16:15):
of the opposite of how the Lakers operate. And that
goes without saying. Even Lebron couldn't argue that. So, yes,
maybe it's a byproduct of the modern NBA that if
you get one of these superstars, you end up being
kind of in their fiefdom until they decide to grace
you with a retirement tour.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
The Celtics existence this year especially proves that it doesn't
and it makes it that much more bitter for the
old Laker guard that's used to, you know, the Red
arm Bach versus Jerry Buss type of days, as has
been dramatized in that show. They get really angry, not
just because the Lakers are so chaotic, but because the
(16:59):
Celtics are the exact opposite of that.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
In real time right now, meanwhile, Petro's Jim Harbaugh just
won a national chance.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I saw him. He was in the Little League right
by my house.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Okay, I was gonna ask you because it feels like
he's gotten a fraction of the coverage that Jj Redding
Scott because of the kiss ass Laker media in this town.
So that being said, is he different? Have you noticed
any sort of a difference between him now after the
Michigan experience back when as opposed to before when you
used to talk with him and he used to come
(17:32):
on and he used to call and try and get
interviews over at San Diego. Any difference with Jim Harbaugh
now that he's a national champion.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
He seems happy, right, I mean, at least in my opinion.
I've been around him twice now since he got the
Charger job, and he just seems really publicly comfortable and
enjoying life, enjoying living on the West Coast. I guess
he lives where all the people live, Manhattan Beach, California.
(18:03):
And he had a big lipper in and he was
watching a Little League game the other day that I saw,
and it's it's refreshing. He's a real person, whether or not.
I mean it's I think it's really hard to compare
the coverage, because how much coverage of the Chargers ever get, right.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
How much off season coverage to the Chargers get?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Is that because the Rams steal it? Is that more
of the organization?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Nobody carries that either nobody talks about them either unless
Stafford's wife says something to Stafford.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Yeah, and like talk about the past, you know, relationship stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Going on there. What a lovely lady. And my apologies
to him.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Why would you bring that up because you think I
don't already hear Why you say that?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Because you think of yourself as the hero of the story.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
That's why, Like what good can come from telling that story?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Was it her and Joe Cox or whatever whoever he was?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Joe Cox was the backup who's now the tight end
coach at Old for Lane Kiffin and you know he's
looking at the mirror right now if he still has
a full head of red hair, and he's going, that's right, you.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Damn right, Joe Cox, j C. Baby, Like, what good
can come from that? Brady? I don't know. I didn't
play quarterback. I'm not good looking. I was in a
room with all black guys.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
You know, we didn't have We didn't have like, oh,
this girl's gonna date one of us, and then she's
gonna date the full back. You know, I think I'm
gonna start out with the every down guy, and then
I'm gonna hook up with the third down guy, the
screen pass guy, the Texas route guy, and.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
The guy just on special teams. Where does he get it?
He's like somewhere this special team. He's way down the line, right.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I mean, who dumps anybody for the special team?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Selling?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Nobody the special teams sell. Let's get's like a glass
eyed girl.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Eye she's been through the wars. You know, I don't know.
To be honest, like, let me let's unpack this to start.
First of all, nobody covers the Chargers or the Rams
because nobody cares about them in town. They get national
coverage and they're great national brands and all that, But
what's so sexy about, Hey, Jim Harbaugh wants.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
To run, you know, it's like, Okay, we're gonna run
the ball.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
What's so sexy about look at this big, beautiful offensive
lineman that we drafted. I mean that it'll be sexy
if they start winning and he changes the culture there,
and that that's one thing.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
The Lakers are always.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
A story month and a month out, no matter what's happening,
because well, they were such a great franchise for all
these years and now they're just a dumpster fire again.
I can't speak to the quarterback room with like the
one really good looking Brady Quinn type, and whoever's behind
him and who's dating who?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Kelly Stafford is a confounding personality in this town and
all over the place.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
And she usually when she says something dumb, she comes
out and apologizes right away.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Like remember last preseason she was talking about how the
none of the receivers or they're all all on their
phones and they won't talk to Matt Stafford and he
doesn't know how to relate with these young players, and
she had to come out like right away and be like, guys,
I made a really big mistake. I said something she
(21:36):
has had. You know, she hasn't done that this time,
which is interesting. You know, maybe some internal fighting or
maybe a late night phone.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Call from joke cops. You've received a collect call from choke.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Car press one to except dude, it's cos there used
to be a coach at cal that that was the
decordinator that I committed to and then left in the
middle of the night and humiliated myself, much like Stafford
(22:12):
here with his wife. And you know, it was like
in the early days of voicemail, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Where like.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
It would have that kind of if you'd like to
leave a message for, and everybody's like trying to figure
it out. It's like nineteen ninety three and his phone
we used to call in all at all hours because
it was so funny. His name was Artie Gigantino, and it's.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Like, if you'd like to leave a message for, please
press what.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
So anyway, you're receiving a collect call from Oxford, Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I don't know. I don't know what happened there. I
don't know. I got to be honest, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I don't know what kind of conversation you have with
your wife when she comes home from doing And that
wasn't even her podcast.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
That was somebody else's podcast. That was Caitlin Bristow.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's not even making any money out of some.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Trash can chick from the Bachelor franchise? Is that the path?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Is that the path?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Now, like I meet people that are like, oh, I
was on Bachelor Bachelor's season.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I'm like, is that what happens in Southern California?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Like, no, don't say no, because I've seen a lot
of people out there. They get asked to be on,
they're on for like a couple of episodes, they put
it on their their social media, then they try to
get big on social media.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
From that was a part of the franchise.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I'm a part of it because they all want to
be on pms. They all want to be on with
Patrof's money when they back.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
They all want to be like Matt Lioner with three
TikTok people and tow there, I mean, what are we
talking about. That's the same thing that that's what they do.
They hire TikTok people and they go tiktoking. That's not
how I choose to live. I choose to live in
I'm still in business. That I thought they were getting
(24:10):
shut down or something.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I don't know, asked Liner.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I don't think he's.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Following Congress and whether or not they're going to shut
down tips.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I just don't know. Are you saying that Liner's not
up on current events.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I don't know if he's read the news on it,
like I mean, I think they've got six weeks.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I know for a fact that first thing Liner does
is check all the sub stack stuff in the morning,
and then he hits up the Wall Street Journal, reads
the London Times. Linerd is the biggest and most sophisticated
media personality in the world.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Oh man, with.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
A TikTok following. All I'm saying is I just don't know.
If you're Stafford and that podcast happens, you walk into
the house with the four little girls, It's like, you know,
we all went to college, we were all young at
some point, we were all in our twenties at some point.
You know, there's weird relationstionship overlap. People do this, people
(25:02):
do that, people find each other in interesting ways. But
you have what four little girls and you're on a
podcast talking about how you dated the backup to piss
them off. Yeah, I mean what happens when you come
home that night? You know, hey, did you get the uncrustables?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
You know? What do you say?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You know?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Anyway, another Caprice son hete you do that Clayton Caitlin
Bristow podcast.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well you can get Petros on TikTok at Joe Cox,
I believe is where you can find him on TikTok
if you want to get a hold of all your
fun stuff and h and La reporting there from the
op on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
What if you're one of the tight ends and Joe,
what if you're like the hand in the ground, third
tight end that comes in on the goal line and
you're like, hey, coach, did you really hit that?
Speaker 5 (25:58):
As you know, I'm being in those scenarios, you know
exactly what you do the next morning after that became public.
If I was one of those, if I was a
quarterback on that team, I would have printed off one
hundred photos and plaster them all around the tight end
room and just sobody what he walks in the it
walks into the tight end room like that's always sees.
That's how football is. Like they we played jokes like that.
(26:20):
We give each other a hard time. That's just how
it works. Like that's probably what took place to some
degree there, I hope.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
So yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I mean I used to just get maked and put
a sheet on and run around the hallway screaming on
the hollow man. When the hollow man came out, I
swear I had a field day.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I'm the hollow man.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Uh. Petros Papae gives. He's the co host of the
Petros and Money Show, which you can hear on a
five seventy l A Sports. The Blowtords also Fox college
football analysts, arguing.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You've got to collect call Petros. You gotta collect the call.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Oh and I'm sorry I use the term dumpster fire twice.
Usually you know that's I'm just I'm a little foggy.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
That's all right. What's fun?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
If you'd like to accept a click call from.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Uh people, do it again.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
There'd be like a bat signal, like a phallic bat
signal in the sky, and Stafford to look, Stafford to
look through the Venetian blinds and see the Joe Cox
signal in the sky.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The good stuff. We'll do it again next week. There
he is, Uh, Petros Pavede is joining us here on
Fox Sports Radio. All right, so coming up next here,
we are going to get into the very latest on
what has turned out to be a dramatic situation for
one player in the NFL, and it's yours here at FSR.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio. I, By the way, Brady, your guy, Brandon Ayuk.
So he took to social media. There was some report
out there that the Niners had had discussions about potentially
a trade on Draft Day, and so of course he
took a little bit of a swipe at the Niners
and said, I thought they weren't interested in trading Brandon Ayuk.
It feels like he's taken this whole.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Thing very, very personal.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
What would be your advice to Brandon Ayuk if he
wants to get a new deal done at this juncture,
Like if you were representing him, what would be well.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I think as of right now, if he wants to
get a new deal done, and I have no idea
what the forty nine ers are offering him. So that's
the tough part is he could sign a new deal,
just might not be to the likes of what he's
looking for. So you know, if you look at Justin
Jefferson's deal, he's not going to reset the market be
above that, nor probably he you know, should he.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
However, if he wants.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
To maximize what's out there for him, you'd hope that
there'd be a team out that that's one to trade
for you. Because if they're one to trade from you
and give something up, they're obviously willing to pay you
as well. It wouldn't make sense for them to bring
you on, pay you fourteen million and put you in
the exact same scenario in right now, knowing you're already
unhappy with the San Francisco forty nine ers. Now they
might do that and say, oh, after the season, you know,
(29:16):
if this year goes well, we'll sign you to a
long reterm deal. That could be the same thing that
forty nine ers are saying to them. You know, we
don't know what's being said behind closed doors, and they
still would have the opportunity to put the franchise tag
on them. So there's not a ton Brendan and I
you can do. There's really not. I mean at this point,
he's done everything he can as a player, but the
(29:36):
organization has done everything that they've done to show him
that he's replaceable.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
When you draft a guy like Ricky Piersall in the first.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Round and they're not prioritizing him, I mean, that's the
message that they're sending it. It might sound harsh saying
it that way, but they've paid Christian McCaffrey. You know,
they're salary cap planning for other people in this roster.
Clearly they're not looking trying to reset the market, and
I'm sure what they've offered him they feel like is fair.
But he's been the number one wide receiver for two
(30:06):
years now and he's proven himself. And that's the tough
part is there's a huge disconnect, like there is between
a team and player in most positions. He thinks he's,
you know, worth more, and the team's trying to make
it work with what they have and they're probably not
gonna be able to come to an agreement.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
So he's gonna make the decision.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Is he gonna miss time and because he's under contract,
be subject to fines and deal with it that way
before he gets traded or eventually come back on to
play for the team.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Or is he just.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Gonna say, you know, I'm gonna try to make a
big fuss now in hopes of making this so toxic
they have to trade me. I go somewhere else and
then I can be the good guy. Then that's that's,
you know, the route that some agents, some people will
tell you to go. Otherwise, you know, it's gonna be tough,
you know, to be able to find your way out
into the deal that you really want.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, it just feels like I said it yesterday. It
feels like there's two things here. He's either gonna get
your raided or he's going to play under the fourteen
million dollars in the fifth year option. Like, I just
don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
And the reality is on the trade. If a team
wanted him that bad, they would have traded for him
before the draft. Yeah, probably, no, knowing that this whole
thing was kind of coming about, didn't happen draft comes
and goes. There's a bunch of talented wide receivers who
are gonna be a lot cheaper than he'll be. And
that's the tough part is now he's competing with guys who,
you know, maybe haven't proved themselves in the league like
he has, but are much much cheaper.
Speaker 1 (31:27):

the Great State of Florida.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
There's always something going on in Florida. This time a.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Florida family fort a lawsuit a gets NASA apparently a
piece of space junk from the International Space Station crash
through their homes roof back in Yeah, they lived down
in Naples, Florida, and they're still kind of trying to
identify what the piece is, but they believe it's uh,
it's a metal support used to mount old batteries or
(33:11):
cargo palette for disposal. Like, how would you feel if
a piece of something from space fell through your home?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I mean, well, I just think about all the the
rosary beats at risk. You know, that would be a problem.
But I just like, of all the things you got
to worry about. Oh, by the way, don't forget space
debris falling into your roof, like.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
The media artill just really need to start, you know,
turning it up a notch.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I just like, yeah, I don't, uh, I don't really
get it. Like that's that seems seems a little about
especially you said to a lot of like, you know,
the moon landing stuff might have been fake and all
that just weird how they would use you know, some
of that some of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Are you going to see that movie? Was it Fly
Me to the Moon? You're going to see that this summer?
Speaker 6 (33:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Probably not, I know, at least going to Yeah, I
figure of that, of course, But how about this?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
What a set?
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Your old woman was arrested on allegations of shooting and
killing a man because quote, he did not clean up
after himself.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yes, apparently this older couple had lived together in one
of the common spaces.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
The deceased gentleman was apparently a little messy, and this
woman became angry and claiming that he did not clean
up after himself, and took it into her own hands
and shot the man multiple times.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I mean, listen, you know, clean up. Yeah, it's not
that hard. Pick up after yourself.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
It's a common By the way, Lee, this is your
future because you seem like you'd be the messy type.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
If I were, you had start to clean up a
little better.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, you know, I'm very clean.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I was clean.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Who's the Because there's always somebody that's more respectful of
the common area than the other in your relationship. Who
is is that you or your wife that's more respectful
to that common area?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Me, it's definitely me.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, I'm the same way, and my wife will leave
just like a bottle of water out and it really
irritates me.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Like, the easiest way to find is someone's neat or
messy is go check out their closet.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
If their closet is an absolute disaster, then that means
behind closed doors, they're okay being a mess, but they're
out outwardly.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Trying to look like they've got it together.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Right, if their closets well put together, you're like, Okay,
the only person sees that really is you, So you're
the only person that would.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Know, Yeah, respect your common areas. That Let that be
a lesson, right, don't get out of line and respect
the common areas. Otherwise you know, you get blasted, all right?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
How about this one?
Speaker 5 (35:26):
A California hiker was lost for ten days while exploring
the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
He actually served five drinking.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
A gallon of water out of his boot each day.
He was rescued without a shirt on or anything else.
His initial plan was.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Just going to walk for about three hours.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
So you had on a pair of pants, boots, and
a flashlight and sunglasses.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
That was it.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
And it wasn't until after Father's Day when he didn't
show up for dinner. He was reported missing after being
out there for six days.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, that sounds like a lie. I'm gonna go with
a lie there. The guy ran way with somebody, got
got into it a little bit, and then was trying
to come up with whatever excuse he could come up with,
and that was the best. He got lost, lost for
ten days hiking.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I don't know you're legitimate.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Have you ever seen those banana slugs in Santa Cruz.
I guess that's their mascot, the Santa Cruz. The U
see Santa Cruz banana slugs. I believe the Great Sanbatege
is an alum of U see Santa Cruz.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Oh very cool.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, they're like speak the way.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Let's move on from that.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
So, South Carolina police officer was knocked down in rank.
He was choosing local citywide cameras to spy on his wife.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Who he suspected of cheating on him with a colleague.
Was she cheating It actually doesn't say.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
Unfortunately, the officer was caught before he could maybe catch
her in the act.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I mean, what's the issue look.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
At it, But it appears again alleged illicit relationship, but
it appears that it was more that he got caught
before anything else.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Oh okay, Well, look, you think she's fooling around on
you, you can hire a private investigator or something like that.
Or you could go to the cheap route and just
do something illegal. There's something wrong with that. Look at
I'm gonna support these people. These people get a bad rap,
you know, the woman who got mad about the guy
with the common area sloppiness, Like, they need some support
(37:21):
and some respect, and you're not doing it.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I got to be the guy to do it on
this show.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Love the BQ News.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
