Speaker 3 (02:18):
H Happy fourth to everyone who be careful. Yeah, well
for all your body parts.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
By the way, I do want to point out Justin Cooper,
who really makes the Sanford and Son live in studio
experience that much better.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Noe.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
Not to dismiss you know, Rowdy Ian Roddy who's in
uh In Lorena and Eddie, but Coop really makes it go.
I did hear from Coop because he landed in Chicago
last night and so he's been asking me about certain
places to go and apparently that place for Fourth of
July weekend is bananas. So there's a lot going on
with Coop. Hopefully it makes it back live. But as

(02:56):
you point out, be careful. People just don't wait for
the actual fourth July to light fireworks anymore, do they.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
No, they don't.

Speaker 9 (03:04):
Yesterday yesterday was a big fireworks day. My whole thing is,
whenever you light the fireworks, just make sure you're being
very very careful and very very responsible. Like respect the dynamite,
you know what I mean, Like you always have one

(03:25):
that just for one reason or another, could be alcohol,
could be just I've done this for years. I've done
this since I was a kid. Whatever it is, you
don't respect it the way that you're supposed to. Something happens.
Next thing you know, your whole face is burnt off,
or you know, you tone melted. Other body parts off.
I won't go there, but just just be careful, be careful,

(03:50):
have fun, but understand that you know that that is
that those that is dynamite. Basically, those are explosives that
you're dealing with.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
Yes, it's like the Where's It In La There was
like the swat team they were trying to get rid
of They found like a truck full of fireworks in
a neighborhood and they were like, oh, we got to
get rid of these, so they sent like the bomb
squad out to blow it up, and they literally blew
up the neighborhood. Like they've got to pay out like
two point four million dollars in damages because they're like, oh, yeah,

(04:20):
maybe we don't blow up a truck full of dynamite
basically in the middle of the neighborhood and think anybody's
going to get out of there without a scratch. But yeah,
I just I don't get the whole growing up, it
was fourth of July. Was fourth of July. You didn't
cheat on the third?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
It's like these people that do Christmas on Christmas Eve. No,
you wait till the twenty fifth. All right, enough's enough
And I'm working on about an hour sleep because the
people in my neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods were lighting off
fireworks the entire night. Couldn't sleep. So I don't want
to hear a damn complaint in the world. If you
happen to hear Mariachi at a fifteen at a ten

(05:00):
volume at some point throughout the course of the weekend,
I don't want to hear a damn thing many of
those candy asses.

Speaker 9 (05:07):
I mean, I personally enjoy it hearing the you know,
hearing the band place.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
I do too, But you know there's I just I
don't understand the And also look, I understand I know
that people majority of people are off I mean nullivar
and I you know, we're just grinding away here.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
That's what we do. You know, hard work.

Speaker 9 (05:25):
Somebody's got to deliver to the people. Man, damn right
what it is that they're looking for. And you know,
I'll take off when the time is right to take off,
which is when Jonas knocks up.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
But if Jonas is in, I'm going to be Well.
That's how it works.

Speaker 7 (05:39):
We were talking about this yesterday.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
So how it works is our tax season, so to speak,
is football season, all right. So there's a reason why
you'll hear fill in hosts and things like that throughout
this time of year because once football hits, it's over,
like like yeah, that's uh, it is what it is,
and you're going to be inundated with work and football

(06:01):
stories and all that because that's really the busy time
of year. So there's gonna be time that will be
off throughout the next you know, month or so or
a couple of months. But as a stand right now,
we are sweating away here on a fourth of July.
And to your point, everybody be safe out there, all right,
because I just I heard some fireworks that were going
off that did not sound like your run of the

(06:22):
mill piccolo pets or sprinklers.

Speaker 9 (06:25):
That we right out back, like the real ones right
out and everybody and they like these, the dudes, and
and listen, I get it, I get it, guys, the
dudes that get a hold of them real fireworks, show
fireworks like the ones that make your kids cry when
you take them for the first time and all that,
and it.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Really does sound like bombs, you know.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
Bursting in the air, and like that, dogs freak.

Speaker 9 (06:48):
Out, everybody. Everything is just bad. It's just all bad like.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Boom boom boom boom boom boom, like whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa.

Speaker 9 (06:56):
Dudes brag about having those, They brag about having the
real ones. I don't know of y'all if y'all know
about firework culture, but there's always the ones that get
a hold of packages, yes, that have the real fireworks
in them, not the home the home take home, you know,

(07:17):
fireworks where it's like oh ah, yeah, we're gonna light
some out in the street. Okay, No, they are setting
up real fireworks.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
Look like they did a sting operation uh in la
I think this week and found the people were disguising fireworks,
trying to say it was something else. It's like a
guy had like it was a Roman candlebox and inside
was basically everything they used on the set of Diehard.
Like you can't like you, I don't get it.

Speaker 7 (07:49):
I honest to god, I don't understand. And it's a
lot of these people.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Are doing this like in kind of close quarters, like
not out in the middle of a field somewhere, not
out in the middle of like you know, hey, let's
and were away.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
From their backyard. Yeah, literally it's your backyard.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 6 (08:07):
There was the video that came out last year or
the year before where like these kids and these parents
like you know, because as you pointed out, you've got
the douchey dads that want to show off their fireworks
and so they've got a box of fireworks and they
want to light them off. And there's literally kids running
around the front yard and one of the fireworks.

Speaker 9 (08:25):
Just started firing off. They were literally underseat.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Like hiding under lawn chairs.

Speaker 9 (08:34):
Grab daughters, sons, everything they can grab. Grandmoms can't move
quick enough. They getting hit.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Mom's holding up a power wheel as like as like
a shield tosaber protective kids.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
It happens every year somebody does something. And the other way.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
The other thing too is that they'll be like the
box with the rest of the fireworks and one of
the ones that they're lighting off hits the box.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
And lights the rest of them up, and it's next to.

Speaker 7 (08:58):
A car and the gas and the gas.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
In the car.

Speaker 9 (09:02):
And that that's been on videos too that have gone viral.
Shot into the car, blew the car up.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Like and there look fireworks culture to your father. I
know some people I won't. I'll just say somebody that
used to work here, Okay, they would go across state
line to get fireworks.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
The real one.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yes, yes, like drive to Nevada to get at some
place across state line to get real fireworks and pack
the trunk of their car. And we're talking hundreds of
dollars just to blow them up.

Speaker 9 (09:34):
Hey, bruh, it'd be more than hundreds of dollars just
so we clear them ones, them cats that'd be getting
a hold of them real fireworks. They'd be spending more
than one hundred dollars because it's their flex.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
I don't get it, I really don't. I don't get
why that's your flex.

Speaker 9 (09:50):
Is that you you got the best, you know, air quotes,
the best fireworks, but it's a flex.

Speaker 7 (09:56):
Did you did you hear the story about I shouldn't
laugh at this?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (10:00):
Whatever, you can't hear me?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (10:01):
Do you hear the story about, uh, that dude in
Maine a few years ago? So there's this guy in Maine.
Well yeah, you'll know why in a minute. Him and
his buddy went out to like the field in Maine
and they bought like these, like legitimate, full fledged five
alarm fireworks like these those mortar bombs that that sound

(10:22):
like you're in the middle of like yeah, in quick
that so so this this rocket scientist thought, you know what,
here's a good idea. Why don't I rip like an
eighteen pack and then go out in the middle of
a field and I'm gonna set this on my head
and you light it. Yeah, yeah, just just to you
know how the story ended.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Oh head, we'll just put it this way.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Next time they go to Disneyland, he ain't getting on
any rides, I'll put it.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Yeah, he doesn't reach the height limit.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
That's that's the brilliance of some of the people out
there that are lighting this stuff off.

Speaker 7 (10:54):
So just be safe, everybody. Like just.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
I'm telling you there, it's just a weird thing. People
love to blow stuff up. Then they don't even wait
for the fourth anymore.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
They don't the.

Speaker 7 (11:09):
Third, and let me tell you something, the fifth is
Oh yeah, we still got stuff left over.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Let's light up.

Speaker 7 (11:19):
Oh my god.

Speaker 9 (11:20):
Absolutely yeah. Right, that's careful out there. All jokes aside. Yeah,
what we're telling you guys is just be careful.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Man.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
That's why when some of these soccer fans and other
countries bring like flare guns to games and like they
start fires and people are like, oh god, what's wrong
with those people?

Speaker 3 (11:36):
God, Bro Johnson, we we do this every year. This
is every flair gun. Oh my god, every.

Speaker 7 (11:42):
Year this happens.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
So somebody's going to get hurt. Well, listen, you'll shoot
your eye out.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
Hopefully not, but if they do Riverside, it is too pros.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
It'll be okay.

Speaker 7 (12:02):
Can you just explain so people understand what the joke is.
Could you just explain riverside.

Speaker 9 (12:08):
When somebody falls in a powa heap, a heap of
just banged up like knees, fingers, shoulders, concussions, you name it,
cardiac arrests.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
It don't matter.

Speaker 9 (12:22):
If a player goes down, you call the trainer, trainer,
and then you know you got to continue to practice.
So you say riverside, which means everybody turns their back
to where the person that's injured is and you take
the you take the period, you take the drill, you
take the practice.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Away from where the person that's down on the ground.

Speaker 7 (12:46):
So disrespectful, like literally no car.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
We gotta finish practice and we got special teams in
five minutes.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Riverside, Riverside what's great, I tell you.

Speaker 9 (12:57):
What's even crazier is if that person were to fall
in the middle, what that practice feel. You couldn't for
some reason, you couldn't Riverside next field, ex filed over,
ex failed over.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
When you and Brady told me that story, I literally
I use it all the time in situations that nobody
gets it. Like I'll be at home with my wife
and like my you know, a plate will drop and
it'll break, and she'll be like, oh great, the plate broke.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
I don't tell you.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
Hey, it's like, hey, the lettuce from bad. We can't
have salad tonight, Riverside Like she doesn't understand. She just
thinks it's a city in California. But that's one of
my favorite terms, so that you guys have taught me.

That'sposed to me.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
The beef with Kendrick. Oh, it used to be Drake.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
Yeah, I heard he can't even stand anymore.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Dang damn.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
I have no idea what who won the battle?

Speaker 11 (15:26):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (15:28):
Was it a ten eight? K didn't go well Drake?

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, he went ready for that fight.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
That's all right. Well, you know, Kendrick Lamar is like
five five if that if that?

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, but he was a giant in that in that
rap battle.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah. I just hope everybody, uh, you know, it doesn't
escalate any further, you know, based on some of the
stuff that's happened, you know in the past. Well, you know,
even in that one I heard, you know, there was
this security guard who might have caught one and oh
really yeah, there was a fight at a club because
people in Canada were pissed off about Drake losing. And

(16:09):
so you know, it's fun, you know, fun to watch
until that stuff happens and then we see how it goes.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
But it is two pros and a cup of Joe.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
Here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with
you coming up in about twenty minutes from now. Somebody's
got some explaining to do in the world of sports,
some real explaining to do based on and you know,
if you want to call it poor parenting, you could
do that as well too. But we will get into
that discussion for you again coming up about twenty minutes
from now. So our friends listening statewide in Wisconsin, they're

(16:41):
really optimistic about this upcoming season for the Green Bay Packers.
Somebody else who's also optimistic is the brand new Packers
running back Josh Jacobs. He spoke recently about the Packers
starting quarterback Jordan Love and what he sees his future
looking like.

Speaker 12 (16:57):
It's just so special when you got a guy like
Jordan Love there, man, and you can't really just load
the box every play and you make defenses aside, you
know what they want to stop. I think that's gonna
be the biggest help for me this year.

Speaker 13 (17:08):
You know, it's the second time you've mentioned Jordan Love
and a guy like that back there. Give us your
impressions of Jordan Love from what you saw from him
in the spring. You've been around your shaff quarterbacks at
this point, seems like you're really impressed with what you've
seen from Jordan Love.

Speaker 12 (17:21):
Yeah, man, I mean to me, I mean just from
what I see, he has all the traits and all
the tools to be a superstar in this league. I
think that, you know, as he keeps continue to play
and get experience, and you know, grow confidence and more
and be become more confident in his abilities and what
he can do, He's going to be the next superstar
in this league for sure.

Speaker 7 (17:41):
So that was Josh Jacob's brand new Packers running back.

Speaker 9 (17:43):
Talking with Mike Garry, I used to have that type
of confidence and buy in, right, that's confidence and buy
in from your.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Back, bro.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
If he ends up being as good as they think
he is, and like, I'm not sold yet, because yes,
he did finish off strong and it was a promising
year and a promising conclusion to the season other than
those terrible picks in the playoff game against the Niners,
a playoff game they probably should have won if it
But if they end up hitting on another franchise slash

(18:17):
Hall of fame quarterback again, we're talking like four decades
of franchise slash Hall of fame quarterback play. The only
other comp that I can think of in the NFL,
and you would know this because you grew up a
Steelers fan, is the Steelers' ability to identify a head coach.
Oh yeah, Like so they've got what three head coaches

(18:37):
since the sixties. The Packers are going to have three
starting quarterbacks since the mid nineties.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
Two already are Hall.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Of Famers and have won Super Bowls, and the other
one based on everything that you hear Josh Jacobs included
is gonna is the goods and going to be a
franchise guy and has everything to look forward to.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
And they seemingly love the same stops after they lead Green. Yeah,
some strange reasons.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, the Jets, and they get on people's.

Speaker 9 (19:04):
Nerves at the end of their careers. I don't know,
they kind to do everything the same.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
You know, for different reasons, different.

Speaker 9 (19:10):
Reasons, different reasons, but you know, nonetheless still kind of
the same. Listen, I thought Jordan Love figured it out
last year. That's what what I'll say. Like it, it
appeared that he arrived in terms of what his potential
and his capabilities can be. He outclassed Dallas in in

(19:34):
the playoffs and listening, a lot of it had to
do with the running game, a lot of it had
to do with Aaron Jones, which I'm sure Josh Jacobs
is super ecstatic about that the running back has such
a role, an established role in that Green Bay Packers offense.
But a lot of it had to do with passes,

(19:57):
you know, a lot of it had to do with
timely pass he delivered in the clutch down the stretch
of the season. He just he delivered continuously, and I
think that his confidence. You could see that his confidence
was growing. You could see that he was just kind
of morphing into what we considered to be need I say,

(20:19):
a franchise quarterback. God man, Yeah, So I listen. First,
I was like, is he throwing shade at at Vegas,
you know, at the Raiders, because they still, for all
intentsive purposes, are still looking seeking that quarterback that could
take them to the next level, whether it was car

(20:41):
or not.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
And he didn't have enough time. I don't know. I
think he had enough time.

Speaker 9 (20:45):
I think we knew what we were going to get
out of out of Car at quarterback for you know,
for the Raiders.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
But just to hear him sound.

Speaker 9 (20:56):
So invigorated and excited and happy, it came across as
genuine Jonas. A lot of times you get you know,
you get the whole tongue in cheek. I'm here, I'm
on this team, and I'm not going to say anything
bad about my quarterback. You know, That's kind of how
I felt about Tua and the Cheetah. I felt like

(21:19):
that was cap Like, I think Tua is good, But
to leave and be like, ay, he's more.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Accurate than Patrick Mahomes and this.

Speaker 9 (21:27):
That and the other, I'm like, man, that's cap man Like,
you say what you want to say, but don't, like,
just be careful on your own reputation comparing a guy
to Patrick Mahomes. Like, granted, you guys have done pretty well,
but I ain't done what Patty's done, you.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 9 (21:44):
So, but here, I feel like there's some real legitimacy.
There's some real honesty here and a real belief and
a real feeling that this is what his quarterback is
and what he's going to be and what things are
going to look like. And I don't think that until
that proved, Like you said, maybe there's not enough of
a body of work to think that we should expect this,

(22:07):
this Green Bay Packer team to make a push for
a Super Bowl run. But I'll tell you what, they
made a Super Bowl run. They did make a Super
Bowl run, and you know what, I'm not so sure
that it doesn't look like this is a sustainable situation
as it applies to the Green Bay Packers with Aaron Love,

(22:30):
Jordan Love excuse me at quarterback.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
And you can't understand as you pointed out what they
did to Dallas, dismantled them like that, and that's his
first playoff.

Speaker 9 (22:39):
Game and the defense was involved, but make no mistake
about it, the offense came out and they If you
thought that the Dallas Cowboys defense needed to make one
stand in the playoffs for this team to get to
where they were trying to go, it would have been
that game. Yeah, take advantage of that game with the

(23:02):
young quarterback, and they weren't able to do it.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
They were not able to do it.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
And look, you know, we talked about that game obviously
and have pointed it out because that was the big
question mark for Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
Why would you bring him.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
Back the way they look that game it was I mean,
there was also, if we're going to be fair about it,
dan Quinn, there was also a lot of question marks like.

Speaker 7 (23:20):
What the hell was that?

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Like he like he's been praised for being as great
as he was, and they got carved up by a
guy in his first playoff game on the road and
goes and does that. And I also think this as
well too, there's got to be a little bit of
I told you so from Matt Lafleur, because the thought
on Matt Lafleur was, well, yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
I mean, he's got Rogers. I mean, you know, he
got the job.

Speaker 6 (23:47):
It was maybe a little bit of a surprise that
he got the job because people looked at it and said,
you know, he was an oc for a year in Tennessee.
Why is he getting the gig? And you know, without Rogers,
now we're going to see. Well, I mean, I think
he did pretty well all things considered. And with Jordan Love,
first year starter, goes to the playoffs, they beat Dallas

(24:09):
the way that they do, and then they're winning that
game against the Niners, like it took some great plays
and clutch play from the Niners in order to get
back in that game and win that game, and green
Bay still had an opportunity down the stretch to try
and close them out on the road. So if you're
the Packers, you got to come away from last year
saying yeah, maybe we need to see a little bit

(24:29):
more before we guarantee that he's our guy for the
next decade plus. But that's a hell of a start, man, like,
you can't ask for much more than that.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
You can't. You can't.

Speaker 9 (24:40):
And if I'll say that, what you can ask for
a little bit more or much more is that he
actually improves upon what he did last year, if you
see him take definitive steps forward this year and not
take them backwards. Because we have seen backwards steps, right,
We've we've seen Trevor Lawrence take take steps back where

(25:04):
we thought that Okay, he's heading towards being a bona
fide UH franchise guy. He hasn't solidified that yet. And
and and there was a moment in time where we
were really high on some of the things that he
was able to accomplish and do since being in the league.
So you're kind of like, you're not looking at Trevor
Lawrence as well, this is a year of dominance that's

(25:28):
coming about for Trevor Lawrence. You're wondering what Trevor Lawrence
you're going to get And and that's you know, this
is that moment in time for Jordan Love, where can
you create the consistency? You know, is this what we
should come to expect? I mean, at times we've seen
the best of the best play poorly, but make no

(25:50):
mistake about it, they find a way to still play
at an elite level year in and year out. Like
we said, this was a vulnerable year for for Patrick Mahomes,
and they still found a way in a vulnerable year
to win the win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
That's what bona fide like. Listen, He's one of one.

Speaker 9 (26:10):
So it's not like I'm trying to compare Jordan Love
to Patrick Mahomes, but he is the new standard of
which measurement is which basing you know what an elite
quarterback with a franchise quarterback at the top of the pyramid,
what that looks like. And so it's it's a legitimate
comparison in terms of any any top young quarterback in

(26:35):
the league. But I'd say this, I'm I'm more I'm
probably more more confident in saying that I look for
a guy like Jordan Love to have a better next season,
this upcoming season than even Marcus stroudj Why am.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
I mixing up all these names and at the end
of the day.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
I think the reason why is because as a rookie
head coach and as a rookie quarterback, it's it's it
may be more of a daunting task to come back
and have a as successful or more of a successful
sophomore season than what you did in your inaugural year.
Whereas Jordan Love has had time to sit watch learn

(27:21):
from one of the greatest to ever do it in
the game. This was something that was built, you know,
and and there was time that was involved, So I
would be more I would be more confident in thinking
and assuming that Jordan Love understands what he's going up against.
He's been able to comprehend it and turn it into
what it is that we saw performance wise as a

(27:44):
starter last season, and that's something that you should come
to expect, is that he understands the defenses. He understands
what he's capable of doing, and how his talent and
his skill sets fit within what's going on schematically against
him and schematically as an offense with the players that
he has personnel wise, and like I said, having that

(28:04):
safety blanket of a running back that can catch the
ball and run the ball at the same time, which
it's not. It's still I think it'll still be a
running backs, back committee backfield, even though Josh Jacobs will
be the starting guy and will get the heavy parts
of the workload. I think that this is a team

(28:25):
that's set up offensively. I think Laflour is a fine coach.
I think he does a fine job with what he's done,
and a lot of the credit that was given to
Aaron Rodgers, I think we could say that Matt Lafleur
was deserving of the praise that he got for what
his offense was able to do this last season.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
And it's also like you talk about the CJS, because
I thought the same thing, like, if you're looking for
a camp you know CJ. Stroud is the comp And
to your point, I'll take my chances with a guy
who's been in the league what four years now, and
has seen it and at least been in the environment
and has been also in the same offense for four years.

(29:06):
If I'm going to bet on somebody to have a
follow up year more similar to what he did the
previous season, I'm with you. I would go with Jordan
Love because yeah, there could be that second year. Look,
Mac Jones was a pro bowler his rookie year, I mean,
and then and.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Then to the beast time the next coming Tom Brady.

Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, and then then all of a sudden, you know,
everything fell apart. Now he's a backup in Jacksonville.

Speaker 7 (29:29):
So no, I'm with you.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
It's it looks like everything looks like it's promising for
the Green Bay Packers. Also, you mentioned the quarterback situation
in Las Vegas. Maybe Josh Jacobs was, you know, he's
away from that now or maybe more of a stable
quarterback situation in Green Bay. We've got a change in
the odds. The Week one starter for the Las Vegas Raiders,

(29:50):
according to our friends at DraftKings, is now Gardner Minshew
ad Amos one forty five. It was Aidan O'Connell who
was a pretty heavy favorite to be the starter, but
something must have happened, Something must have gone on, and
something must have gone down, either in mini camp or whatever.
And then next thing, you know, Gardner Minshew as we
approach training camp is the favorite to be the starter

(30:11):
come Week one for the Raiders. So, man, I don't know,
if you want to reach out to your guy. Antonio
Pearson confirm that so we could make a little bit
of money on that, but you know, if that's something
you're interested in.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
We got a couple hours to play with here, so
there's that.

Speaker 9 (30:22):
I guess I could make some money, but I get
caught up. They would look at my phone records and
all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
That's true, you know, all right.

Speaker 9 (30:31):
I mean that was like the draft though with God,
dang Jay Glazer. Man, I'm sitting there at the draft
and he's given me the picks like ten to fifteen
minutes before dang pick, going like, we're sitting right here
at the gat ning uh at the sports book the
one year, the one year we do it.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
We're sitting in the sports book.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
What a waste of an opportunity. Yeah, we were there, Yeah,
we were there.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
I'm an honorable dupe, all right.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
So if anybody doubts the integrity of LeVar Arrington, just
know he was at the draft with Jay Glazer in
a sports book a couple of years ago and didn't
bite That shows.

Speaker 9 (31:09):
Which I don't even really know how that should even
be cheating, to be honest with you, because all he
is is an insider.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
He could be wrong.

Speaker 7 (31:16):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
He could be wrong, but he's not. He'll never be wrong.

Speaker 7 (31:21):
Thirty two for thirty two.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
That dude, don't be wrong.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
Man, it is two pros and a cup of Joe.

Speaker 9 (31:26):
Here, Fox's to throwaway picks like fifty five of the
second round.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
He'd be on them.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
Oh you knew, you knew who the Lakers were taken?

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Two knew it.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
Damn We've got another edition of in case you missed
it coming up here shortly. But for all the latest
from around the world of sports, he's our number one pick.

Speaker 7 (31:42):
He's Eddie Garcia.

Speaker 8 (31:43):
Well, speaking of the Lakers. News from the NBA, we
told you on yesterday's show about the Lakers and Lebron
James getting that two year, one hundred and four million
dollar Max deal. Well, later in the day it was
Bronni James's turn to get his contract. The son of
Lebron James gets a four year deal from the Lakers
worth seven point nine million. That was after being drafted
by the team of the second round. Last month, in baseball,

(32:04):
the Phillies beat the Cubs five to three. Philadelphia now
in Major League best fifty seven to twenty nine. Orioles
down the Mariners four to one. Ryan O'Hearn, a homer

lose to the White Sox eight to two. Dodgers taken
on the chin from the Diamondbacks twelve to four. Christian
Walker couple of homers for Arizona. Brewers shut off the
Rockies three nothing. Milwaukee starter Colin Ray seven shutout innings

Boston for the final wildcard spot in the American League.

were walked off by the Pirates Pittsburgh with a five
to four win in ten innings. Now back to Lavari
Arrington Jones Knox the tyrack dot Com Fox Sports Radio studios.

Speaker 6 (33:19):
Heanks Eddie two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio and coming up next year from
these tiraq dot com studios. By the way, let me
just point this out. I doubled up on a tire
rach read earlier. I said tire rack dot Com Studios
to go out of the first break. You won't know
why that happened because at the same time we were
going to break, there was a tire Raq commercial on
TV and it really messed me out because it was

(33:40):
so appropriate that we were doing a tire rach read
and there was a Tirat commercial on the TV in
the studio that it completely threw me off. But nonetheless,
these are the tirach dot com studios. And coming up
next here from these tierrach dot com studios, we're going
to tell you about some bad parenting in the world
of sports.

Speaker 2 (33:58):

not hear the music and just hear you go oh
yeah yeah.

Speaker 9 (34:46):
I mean, you can imagine how corny it is if
you hear me saying it the way that I'm saying it.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you
coming up top of next hour a little over twelve
minutes from now from the Tirak dot com studios, you

months in advance. You'll get to hear that again a

(35:13):
little over ten minutes from now on FSR. A reminder

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing, the guys are here to
bring you In case you missed it, Lead the laps drinking.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Yeah, so he's definitely going to be missing it.

Speaker 7 (35:51):
Yeah, so he is not. He is not here right now.
In fact, I leave in night.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
I would at some point we should maybe try and
call him the cpe answers, because he'll be so ripped
that he'll get confused and think he was supposed to
work today, which would be a great phone call to
have live on the air. So maybe we'll try and
bang that out top of next hour. But nonetheless, who
needs lead when in for Lely you've got Rowdy Ian Roddy.

(36:19):
With everything that we've done. In case you missed it
coming up here. Now, what's happening.

Speaker 11 (36:24):
Yeah, hey, guys, we're gonna start. We're gonna start with
kind of a sad story here. I mean, you know,
we'll see how it turns out because the ending's a
little ambiguous.

Speaker 7 (36:34):
We're not sure. No update yet.

Speaker 11 (36:35):
But Dodger star Shoheo Tani hit his twenty seventh home
run of the season against the Diamondbacks yesterday. But the
broadcast camera caught footage of the ball flying into the
stands and absolutely drilling a young toddler boy in the forehead.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
That's a bad thing.

Speaker 7 (36:51):
Yeah, that's a bad thing.

Speaker 11 (36:52):
So the camera also showed plenty of adults in range
to catch the ball with their hands fully outstretched trying
to catch it. Not a single one of them even
got a finger on it. This this ball literally went
from Shoho Tony's back to this kid's forehead.

Speaker 9 (37:06):
So the literal context of this story is a ton
of non athletic fans are going to be the reason
for the demise of a toddler.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
Yes, yeah, here's okay, unless that kid, you know, walked
into the park by himself, grabbed a beer and said
I'm gonna sit here in the bleachers and you know,
hang out a little bit at Dodger Stadium, where's like,
you don't have a parent there who's thinking, Hey, I
should probably get in front of this thing, so doesn't hit.

Speaker 7 (37:34):
My four year old.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
I don't it literally untouched hit this kid in the face,
and we don't know whether or not the kid's okay.

Speaker 9 (37:42):
Well the kid is not okay. Now will the kid
be okay? There's difference. I mean, babies have soft shelves,
you know, up top for quite some time. Obviously they
need to be able to I don't know how big
the baby was, but obviously they got to be able
to get out into, you know, to the world. So
their head is a little bit you know, pliable. But

(38:03):
I mean you get spanked upside the head with a
baseball coming off of a bat at that distance.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
I mean, I don't know, man.

Speaker 7 (38:12):
Their head's going to be more pliable when they get out.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I mean that it might have. It might have.

Speaker 9 (38:17):
The baby might have a permanent baseball then when they
might have to like put that like that that skull
shaped on it.

Speaker 11 (38:25):
If but then anytime anyone asked the kid what happened,
you could say oh sho h head.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Oh yeah, that.

Speaker 7 (38:32):
Makes everything better, you know that.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
I mean that's you know, listen, because that's worth the
price of admission right then and there. You know the
fact that this kid's going to walk around with a
cereal ball in his neck. But at least he can
say show HEO Tani's home runner.

Speaker 9 (38:45):
I mean the parent, the parent holding the kid, or
the parent next to the kid. You guys have got
to feel something slight like the biggest losers in life, honestly.

Speaker 7 (38:55):
All right, So when your kids were.

Speaker 9 (38:57):
I would have turned my back, like I would have
the baby, like there's no way that a ball would
have hit my kid. Yes, And you're in the outfield
like it's not like it was a foul ball, Like
you had no time to react, Like it's like bang,
Like yeah, everybody's screaming, Like everybody's screaming. Hello, everybody's trying
to catch it now, Hello, what you're just going standing there?

Speaker 3 (39:19):
All right?

Speaker 6 (39:20):
Like the other thing too, when you have a kid,
I'm sure you experienced this, Like kids have accidents, like
it just happens to where like I remember the first time,
you know, my kid fell and my wife and I
kind of freaked out.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
We talked to the doctor like, hey, you know he fell.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
He's like, listen, he's fine.

Speaker 7 (39:35):
Like that happen.

Speaker 9 (39:36):
It starts building to have bad actions. Yeah, they are,
they really are.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
And but you you're on notice constantly, like whenever we're out.
Like my son's three, I'm just like my eyes are
on him at all times because I'm like, he could
hit a corner of a bro.

Speaker 9 (39:52):
Like that with my Like I told you not too
long ago, she would We had to go to the
emergency room. Yeah, you know, and she's eight. I'm like
that right now. And she's eight. The youngest is eight.

Speaker 6 (40:04):
Imagine being in a baseball game and not having the
thought of, ye should get in front of my four
year old as this ball's coming in at one hundred
and twelve months.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
That's what it was a four year old. Yes, yeah, that's.

Speaker 7 (40:14):
If I would If that.

Speaker 9 (40:16):
That's that's not good at all. That's wild infant that
might might you might be Okay, four year old, that
baby got damage.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Man.

Speaker 6 (40:24):
Look, my kid went to his first baseball game. Kid
went to his first baseball game. He was under two
years old. He was a year and a half. We
took him to Wrigley Field. We sat in the bleachers
and uh, but like he didn't have to worry about
anything hitting him because it's.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
The Cubs and they don't sit. They're terrible.

Speaker 6 (40:42):
Oh wow, yeah so that was I mean, that's the
safest place to be if you're a Cub fan.

Speaker 7 (40:46):
Oh thank god.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
If you want to make sure you don't get hit
by a ball Wriggley Field, just sit in the outfield,
especially when the Cubs are up, because there's nothing getting
out of the infield the way they're playing.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
I sure would like an update on this kid. Need
to know I'm interested.
