Speaker 1 (00:02):
Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe
with lamar As rating win and Jonas knots on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We got a new show open. I did want to
let you guys know I am currently working on a
banger of a song to open up. Wait.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
So so I got a new song and you haven't
got a new song, and yet.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
No I am deciding between two or three.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It took you that long?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, Okay, it's gotta be right.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah, gotta be right, gotta be right, you know, boy.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Right, putting pressure on yourself. Yeah? What up?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Var?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What up?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Sticks?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
What a var? Good morning, guys. Congratulations obviously, the the
big game last night the Winnipeg Jets. Congratulations, what a game.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
At ago y'all tell me? Uh, I like cocky. I
just didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Winnipeg tied it on a deflection with one point six
seconds left and and then won it in overtime, double overtime,
So it was fantastic. But there was also the Game seven,
which saw the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets,
and game was pretty simple for me. Three beats too.
Whoever shooting the three ball well nowadays in the NBA,
(01:27):
that'll be that one hundred beats one. That's it. Houston
couldn't hit a three. They hit you know, half their
three point total in garbage time. Other than that, Golden
State was hot led by Buddy Heal and that was
pretty much the story of the game.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I mean out of nowhere too. Buddy came out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I don't think Steph Curry had a three pointer in
the first quarter of the game. I think he did,
I don't think he hit one. They were off coming
out as well, so Buddy Healed. I think it is
is that how you say, yeah, Buddy Hill, Yeah, just
you know, he picked up a lot of the slack.
(02:06):
But they ended up they ended up speeding up and
ended up starting to make make their shots. I mean,
the usual suspects still were what they needed to be
in the game. I just think that it was experienced
that won over the youth of of of Houston, and
and it makes me feel like that might be the
(02:27):
theme of the rest of the way, Like I think
it's going to be possibly experienced that that maybe wins
out over over a young talent. So I feel like
Oklahoma could be maybe in you know, they could be
in a tough situation is I mean, they could be
in a tough situation and and and you know, I
(02:55):
think that I think any team that has experience.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now I'm going with from.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Front you are you a little gun shy after the
big Jimmy Butler proclamation all that? No, because I mean, honestly,
like if you look at this out right, but if
you look at the series as a total, the one
game he didn't play the Golden State Horse to care
business easily.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Well, they still went to seven games, and they right.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Because he came back and he was involved in the restigators.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
That's correct, and they he had twenty points and and
and some very critical point he had, like.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, but they needed Buddy Heel, they need some of
the other pieces around Stell.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You know, he closed them out. He put six.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He went on a six to o run against them
in the fourth quarter when they needed it. It was
a critical point in the game.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Did they they do that there?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah? I mean he went on a six ozer run
by itself in the fourth and it was still yeah. Sure,
all right, Well, I mean, hey, you got it, go ahead,
you give me your analysis.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I'm just telling you.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I'll just tell you what I I think about it,
that's all.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I mean, you tell me what it's all about, because
I definitely think that if they don't have Jimmy Butler,
they do not win the series. And in fact, if
they didn't have Jimmy Butler, if they don't have them
moving forward, I don't think they have a chance.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
But that's just me.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I mean, you tell me, and I would say that
I still think they got a chance. Like just like
in the series when you made this great proclamation and
it came out beat Houston, I still think they have
a chance. I think we underestimate not only the pieces
around Steph Curry, but we underestimate the fact that this
is still a team that's won championships even without having
(04:34):
to have a Batman and Robin scenario if you want
to call it that, or a one to two punch
like Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry. So I still give
them a chance. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying
they're going to be Oklahoma City, but I'm not counting
them out. Because of what Jonahs said, this league has
had to adapt to Steph Curry, and Steph Curry has
been the best in the past decade. As far as
(04:58):
shooting threes and getting the other teams have to play
their game, which is if you can match them shooting
threes or catch them on a bad shooting night, yeah
you can. You can catch them, you can get them.
But I mean last night wasn't even their best shooting night,
but they still ended up and the end of the
day making more threes than Houston did. And that's kind
of become what, unfortunately the NBA has become is the
(05:21):
team that shoots the most, makes the most threes, usually
ends up winning the game. So I always give them
a puncher's chance in every matchup because of Steph and
because of how this team has been constructed to be
able to support out around him. So it was a
good series, though it really was. Houston's got a lot
to build onto in the future, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I give Golden State a chance because they can shoot.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Don't disagree with that.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
But if we're talking having the opportunity to beat a
team like Houston and to actually have a chance against
which will be interesting to see, can they match how
well do they match up against the timber woe. Even
though I'm gonna take experience as long as they're healthy,
as long as Jimmy b is a playoff p or
(06:08):
playoff b is is healthy, I think that they have
a chance against Minnesota, but I think that's gonna be
a tough one for them.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I feel like that's one I'm conflicted on. But you know, you.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Gotta have you gotta have a little bit more than
just shooting.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You gotta have more.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
You gotta have you gotta have defense, you gotta have rebounding.
There are some other elements that you do have to have.
I mean, they had to survive poor shooting during the
course of that that game early on, and it was
I mean, it was fairly close. You know, it was
a It was a well played game in the second
(06:48):
in the third quarter, and you had an unsung hero
step up and step in for them. But I think
there should be some concerns for Golden State moving forward.
I see some holes and what it is that they
got going on, And if you're gonna live buy it three,
you're gonna have to die about it three as well.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And if they don't have a great evening every single.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Time they go out, I mean, if those other elements
are deficient and what they bring to the table. I
don't know if they can. I don't know if they
can get out of this next this next series.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean, I personally think both of you guys are
wrong because if you listen to Buddy Heald here, he's
talking about spirit animals, he's talking about emotional meetings. Before
Game seven, just take a listen. Yesterday, let me get
to Houston.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
We had a very emotional meeting, was led by Draymond
and Steph and Jimmy and from from then I was
just locked in and just skep my spirit together.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And it's just like this.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
The meeting we had was just like just better get
everybody chills. And we know when it's when they go
to bother, we know what that means. And the meeting
was well well needed. Game sixty was not locked in.
We were, you know, dre Drey play all the blame
on him just getting hmself nothing. You see him today,
he was not freaking with the rats. He didn't mention nobody.
He was just being Draymond Green, all defensive player. He's
(08:08):
our team leader, he's our spirit animal, and uh he's
he's there for us and today and uh he just
just fallowed that lead, you know. And we know how
much this game meant for them, and we just collectively
had a meeting. Let me just figured it out.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You go that Mike Tyson, Mike, I don't think he
sounds like Mike.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, who was who was just taking in? Like you
know his commentary post game. You're listening to his accent
from He's from the Bahamas, He's a Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
So he sounds like Mike Tyson.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Just I'm just saying, yeah, tripped out man, you don't
think so?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Not quite, But I mean I could see where you're
coming from. Go ahead, play it again, skills. Now everybody's
heard it. Let's here one word.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Well he's from so we can compare that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Let's compare to. Let's compare.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Here's Mike Tyson.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I was going to rip his hard. I'm the best ever.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'm the most brutal in Michigan, most ruthless.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Champion has ever been. My style of the pet you with.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
My defense is impregnable.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And I'm just from Roch.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I want your heart, I.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Want to eat your children.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Jeez. Yesterday, le me get to Houston.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
We had a very emotional meeting was led by Draymond
and Steph and Jimmy and uh. From from then, I
was just locked in and just kept my spirit together
and it's just like this. The meeting we had was
just like just better get everybody chills, and we know
when it's when they go to bout. We know what
that means. And uh, the meeting was well well needed.
(09:38):
Game sixty was not locked in. I was going to
rip his hard. I'm the best ever, I'm the most brutal.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Buddy hild to do a hell of a Mike Tyson impression.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I think Buddy Healed is Mike Tyson when he started
micro dos He's like, I think that's what it is
when he when he when he let go of all
that anger and just started to relax.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That's that's more Buddy Heal. So I mean, I can't
go with this with you guys on this journey, But
why not Because I can't.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I just don't. I don't, I just don't. I don't agree.
But geez, I didn't notice at what? At what point
is Draymond Green just going to acknowledge I knew exactly
what I was doing and I was trying to hit
him in the face when I did it. Why would
he do that? Though? It just but is anybody, Look,
(10:32):
he's been kicked out of big games before. We know
what happened in the finals against the Cavs, like we've
you ever noticed more often than not, though, he makes
it to the end of the game.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
So that's I mean, But that's what I'm saying. So
it's like he doesn't have to tell you the obvious.
He makes it to the end of the game more
often than not, so he knows exactly how far he
can take it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
How many times is he going to flail his legs
and arms out jack somebody? Yeah, jack up in the face, Mike,
and then look around and go watch you play good
defense against me?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Slap.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's every game.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
It's been going on for a decade, every game, and
then they love him for it.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Like you get to the end of the game, you
see all the guys hugging on him and stuff like that,
and I'd be like, I'll see you in the tunnel player,
Like all that action you did, you're doing on his court,
I want to see if you a real tough guy
for real.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Didn't Tristan Thompson go after him at a club?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Did he?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I heard about that. I think I heard something like
slapped him or something. No smoke in the club.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Can you look that up?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Just another.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Tristan Thompson Caribbean. I'm pretty certain he's just making sweet anyway.
I'm sure he sounds like Mike Tyson too. But I'll say,
you know, with with Draymond, he is he he serves
his purpose.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I mean, he was trying to hit some timely three pointers.
Couldn't do it, could make them. I knew, I knew
they were gonna win the game. When he hit the
first three, it was like, Okay, it's that that time
of night. How what was he won? One for what
on the night? One for that was the only one
he probably that's all he needed. Oh my gosh. He
(12:22):
is not very much.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I mean he played.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I don't know. I think he scored the first five points.
I was like, yeah, they're good at this point.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I think Draymond is the spirit animal that drives them.
I agree with with that assessment. I think the sentimental
value that Draymond brings to the table is way more
valuable than the tangible skills and the what you got,
what you got, Lee, what you got.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
I'm reading up on the fight at an LA nightclub
in twenty eighteen between Tristan Thompson and Draymond Green.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Well, what were the details? I'm coming up on it.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Uh saw with that Delight was Delia's at Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
You yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
They got a magician there.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
In the center on top of the Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
All I know is neither wanted them wanted no smoke
in l A with Willie Mack though, I was just say, yeah,
they don't want that.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
That's that real pressure. Is that the same place? No,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's possible.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I don't know where they were and strong.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I must just stop.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Everyone says it was a sucker punch by Thompson, but
nobody had phones because it was a lebron party where
everyone's phones are taken away.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And I think which is similar to a divvy party, right, ye,
very simple.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yikes, they're gonna take your phones away. Let's not let's
not misinterpret that. Where they take your phones.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Was there was there baby oil there Jesus where it's
just going all the way all right.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
There, Hey, listen, let's swim in the mud. Give me
a snorkel.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm in. Let's go.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Okay. Twenty five k per slat player.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And I think, by the way, I think that fight
was because of something Draymond said during one of their
finals matchups or something like that, when Golden State and
Cleveland played each other.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Like I'm telling you there, why wait so long? There
have been plenty of times just I'm telling you, cats
go right in the tunnel because more often than not,
you know, guys meet up with the families.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's my homie from college. Da da da.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Let's go get some Some places have tailgates for you
after the game. You go get some food, talk da
da da, where you get on the bus, gotta go
fly out or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Cats really be meeting nothing now.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Probably Q is never been a part of seeing or
witnessing or understanding anything like this because quarterbacks are a
little different.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
They're a little bit more elevated than we are.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The hell that means fights.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
No, no, I'm talking, I'm talking when the game is over,
when the families are meeting.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
There actually be dudes that be like be rolling on
one another.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I remember having I will I'll leading with the person
nameless And I don't even know why even was there
to be a part of this.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I was moral support but we went.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And stood outside their locker room door and was waiting
for the smoke, and we would have got hurt because
it was too unless that the other dudes was like,
I'm a pro, I'm not getting involved in this whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Da da da.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I will say it was the Ravens, though, I will
say it was the Ravens, and I mean it got
pretty interesting and happens quite a bit though. Man, I'm
telling you postgame fights in the tunnels or or or
scuffles and and and dust stuff, they happen more often
(16:10):
than people think. I'm just telling you do some crazy
stuff like like spit at me or anything like that. Like,
we gotta get it. I'm sorry, on on manhood on
my name. We gotta get it. I'm not I'm not
walking away from that. Manhood on mine, on mine, on him,
(16:33):
we gotta get it. I don't care. I don't care
if you spit by accident something like that. We gotta
get it.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What about gleeking, Nope, if there's any type of yus
you guys remember that.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
And people are really good at it too. You remember that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yes, I know what gleeking is and people are good
at it, all right, So for people that are not
familiar with gleeking. Back in the day, you used to
be able to take your tongue and push it toards
the bottom of your tongue towards your top teeth, and
you could shoot saliva. Du I could only do it
if I ate like something sour or something like. I couldn't.
I couldn't do it on like Yeah, it's like, uh
(17:14):
like some long lost reptilian sort of g you have
from back in the day where people could just start
gleeking cleaking for whatever reason, gleeking and blowing bubble has
never been able to do those things.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Can't do it, Like dudes could blow bubbles. Never understood that,
like with gum or no, well just they're they're they're.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Just what they got.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
They could blow bubbles, never understood it, like off their tongue. Yeah,
I don't know what type of germs or whatever it
is you need to be able to to form a
bubble in your mouth. But anyways, that's off the beaten path.
Ass can get beat after games based off of the
stuff that Draymond Green does, And I'm just so blown
(17:58):
away that I've never heard of more scuffles with him
post game.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
He must.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I mean, he must really kind of be that dude
to them basketball players, man, because you can't do like
he kicked a man in his head in the one game,
kicked his head all the way into the ground, into
the court and then looks like what happened. I don't
know what happened. What happened, Like, I'm gonna show you
what happened. You son would show you what happened.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Something tells me if he does that with Anthony ed Or,
it's there's gonna be ah, you think you're gonna tell you.
I just think I think he'll he'll let it be known.
He's not gonna just look around at the ref for
He's gonna let it be known. He'll he'll talk about
a post game like he's not gonna be shy about
it for whatever he's.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Allowed him to push Lebron James. So I just feel
like anybody can get it, especially and and don't you
think the referees would kind of be excited to see
somebody actually hitting back. I mean, honestly, it'd be the
Anthony Edwards beat a hit him back, and they'd be like,
we're gonna let that one.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Go, Like what we didn't see it. They had the
nerve to flail his arms to him, be like, where's
the foul?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Listen, Draymond. He followed through, I don't know what to
tell you, simple flailing. What did you say?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Did he punched you in the in the dolls where
when let's go to the replay. Nope, don't see it.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's amazing, man, Paul on out of the side. At
this point, You're like, all right, that's just he's grandfathered in.
He could just do it.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Ever he once 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 2 (19:49):
By the way, we didn't mention the big event over
the week or one of the big events over the weekend,
the Kentucky Derby. We did have names in a hat
that we drew on fry Lee to lap. Did anybody
win or even come close to winning of the name selected?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That?
Speaker 7 (20:07):
That's great, Well, I keep my role going of winning
names out of a hat with East Avenue who finished eighth.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So that was the closest we got to that win
place or show?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Eighth place?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Wait, I thought I had them finishing at thirteenth.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah, I saw, I saw what you had there. I
think those were the unofficial results.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
The official results have East Avenue is eighth, Testastic as tenth,
Luxer Cafe at twelfth.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
The unofficial results were five horses off.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Yeah, yes, twenty five?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
What all right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I know, I know there were all of them.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Were we off? But we did?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
We did bring in the end here with Lorena and LeVar.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Lorena's Flying Mohawk finished eighteenth and LaVar's admired Daytona last
place nineteen sticks pick.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well, technically I didn't pick it, Okay, I'm not LeVar.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Here's what I don't understand either, is when I was
doing this, the search for this, I guess the unofficial
results had admired Daytona at ninth. How can you go
from top ten to dead at last?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I don't. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Well, no, are you?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Surely I'm looking at two different official results you know
so well match each other.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
So yeah, these, yes, you're right, the one official, but
from two different sources.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Dude, did I look up like the results from like
the lead to lap of the Kentucky Turkey. And that's
what they gave me.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
A little too many, one too many mint julips. I
didn't I didn't have a mint julip. Oops.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oops, it's too it's too tough for you to make
too many things going on that it is right, So Lee,
what what are what are the top top six that
you're showing?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
All right?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
So Sovereignty of course one beating out Journalism and Baeza
placing at third. Then we have a final gambit Owen
Almighty Burnham Square, then followed by the American favorite Sandman
was the betting favorite. Then we got into our our
our horses, East Avenue, Chunk of Gold, Testastic, Cold Battle,
Luxer Cafe, Neo Equalis.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
I don't know ne equillis so off.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I want to pick my horse next time we could
do that. Yeah, I don't want to go out of
the hat. Yeah, because now you're now you're yeah, I'm
into it it yeah, after that Netflix deal.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
But the problem is, what if we pick the same horse.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
How about we do a trifecta. We could do our
win place and show Okay, I like that I picked
my own horse on the ben malor Show Sovereignty and
she won good show?
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Is that on?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Is that? Is that?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
On? Like?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Can we hear the SoundBite of it?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
No?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
But Ben did post me on Twitter giving me my props.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Did he gave her credit? He did?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
He did.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Lorenda knows how to pick them horses.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
I'm gonna be a professional horse bender.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Now you watch me. I bet I bet horse. I
bet four horses. None of them came close.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I bet on all one.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I bet on all three sovereignty journalism in but I
put them in different spots. I did get Baza to place,
so I got half my money back.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
How about the fun fact that every single horse in
the derby was a descendant of Secretariat. We did further
research over the weekend and found that I don't know
the right terminology. I've never owned a horse, but basically
he had six hundred and sixty three kids.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Damn. Yeah, it's like Genghis Khan. Yeah, yeah, basically, well
when you take into account like I saw a photo
of Secretariat that the Belmonts takes. Yeah, and it was
just like just trying to give people nowaday context as
to why every single horse it is trails like from
(23:57):
that lineage. The second horse was so far back in
the photo was hard to tell what it was. You
thought it was a training session, And they're like, no,
this is Secretariat, arguably the greatest athlete ever, thirty one
lengths ahead of the next horse winning the Belmont Stakes.
Which it does take me back to college when Charlie
(24:17):
Weiss gave us this passionate speech basically about like coming
out and just like stopping on a team that you
should beat, and he made the reference to Secretariat, which
didn't hit with a lot of the guys in the
locker room, because, I mean, at that point in college,
not that many people are in the know of horse racing,
let alone gambling altogether. At least I wasn't, and I
(24:40):
know there's a bunch of other teammates who weren't either.
But then the fact that when he said it was
a horse and he said it was the greatest athlete ever,
I thought to myself, Okay, now my head's in a
completely different place where I'm saying, like our horses.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Athletes, Yeah, yeah, I think they are. You think they're
more more of an athlete than a golfer.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, can you can you be an athlete. Can you
be an athlete if you have to be ridden by
jockey or you know, as Jenness would call them whatever
he calls them.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Garden homes, that'd be they're athletes.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
They call them athletes that uh at rodeos too, want
to they call them?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, but they don't. They don't call the bronco or
the bull the athlete, do they?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Yes, Like when they go down, let's say one of
the athletes, I think it's like one of the animal
at It's something like that, like it's a.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
They say what it like.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
They make it clear that it's an animal though, like
one of them. I forget how they say it. But
they call them athletes. Yeah, they say animal athletes, animal athlete.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, there you go. I mean they're morons for starters,
who horses? Why are they morons? What I could say
that about a lot.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Of people are actually really smart.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I thought horses had small brands whatever it is. I
think they're morons. You're right around you, right around in circles.
You've got this weird eye protection on, and then and
then you've got you've got this this tick on your back.
Who's who's beating you on the side You can't do
a damn thing about it because you're too stupid. And
(26:18):
then when you finally get there, they give you a
bunch of roses and they're probably roses bought Vaughn's for
like three ninety nine a flower. They wrap it around
your neck and you go back to the stable. They'll
let you have sex for a little while. And then
if you turn your ankle getting out of bed because
you just laid one down and gets a wreck. Next
thing you know, there's a white tent that comes out
(26:39):
and they bring out a gun the size of an
elephant trunk and they put you to sleep. You're a moron.
Get a better life, get a job, and.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I understand completely while you get hammered on the weekends
on social media. I mean, it makes complete sense, now.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Don't They have small and the Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
They're considered one of the more intelligent animals in the
Animal Kingdom, long term memory, social intelligence.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
They could actually use tools and problems solve.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Who they beat out a termite?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
You never saw the show Mister ed like he used
to talk to people. Man, we can never do like
any live show.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I mean, I love the track.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
This is great issue.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Jonas is gonna get his ass kicked and one of
these live shows because someone's gonna really love horses and
just come in and beat his hat.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I mean, now I realize why Boss Hog is no
longer with us. You're a terrible Yeah, you don't. You
don't love animals, You don't love them. You shuck you
think you did? You think Boss Hogg was a moron?
He had his moments.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
See there you go, see you now.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I wonder what he thought about you, Like he was
looking through the window like this mother effort.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You as messed up to. I can picture jonas you

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Yeah, it was like, damn boy, back here and there.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Whatever. You know, it's messed up. You guys continuing to
bring up my dead dog, That's what's messed up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
No, don't try to deflectro you love it, Do not
try to deflect it, because you know you went down
the dark lane.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
You let you take you down a very dark lane
and you what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
And you went right on down?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
And what you mean?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
You said? You better get all over here? Boy, doesn't

Speaker 3 (28:56):
I get picture, Jonah, I told you to come just

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Switch spatoon nearby?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yes? Oh no, is that the same spatoon?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
I was saying, mad, I think that's it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
No, that's it, that's it right there.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
There's like twenty in the system.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
No, that one is it round? Can we hear them
just for.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
The same We'll start with spatoon one.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Nope, that ain't it. Ain't it?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
That definitely ain't one was aggressive, Yeah, and we didn't
even hear it hit the platoon that was.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Like hawk to his boyfriend, No, spit on that thinging,
Oh whoa that might have been. It was that one,
was it?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
And then sound for is the one I was using?
And then this one's number five? Yeah that's a hawk. Yeah,
that's a hawk. That's a hawk too, for real? Yeah,
stop it?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah it was that other one. It was the the
third one you played. That's the the Iowa Sam's patoo. Yeah,
that's the wall right there, the southwest. Posh, my god, man,
when they when they really do start giving out seat numbers,
that we're gonna have to bury that segment. That's gonna
(30:18):
be a shame. That's really gonna be a shame like that.
That's that's by far and away your best work, Brady,
is the southwestra cattle call.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
They're not doing away with it, though, it'll be there
in some capacity. Unfortunately for all the all the people
who don't want to spend a little extra bucks to
pay to not being the cattle call, they're still gonna
have it. It's gonna be a part of their boarding process.
They're not getting rid of getting rid of it entirely.
(30:48):
So now you really, if you really want to feel
like a human, you just pay a little bit more
and you don't have to feel like cattle on a
Southwest flight.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So there you go, and they're doing the there's no
more free bags, right, that's done.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, that I believe just started or is starting here shortly.
So it's a shame, I trust me. The plast couple
of times I've flown into it's really impacted the uh,
the amount of people on the flights.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Oh was it dropped just because felt it felt like.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
It was like one of those planes Vince Young bought
every seat on like it was like there was like
twenty some people on. This is great.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Wait what did ye do?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Why?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Like bought like every seat on a Southwest plant? I
think to like fly people up and back from something
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Wow, good for him.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
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.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
We are going to take a take a moment here
to just acknowledge, you know, hell of a job, hell
of a job by uh one. Greg Popovich calls it
a career as a head coach. He will not be bad.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
President.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Here, go go up up top like a rally, I
you know, hit a pat rally on him. Yeah, I'm
not sure.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I don't know. He went. He had the stroke, he
had the medical issue this year. It seemed like this
was heading towards the end, and so now he walks away.
But uh, but a hell of a run and hell
of a run guy who did it for a for
a long time. And he uh was also uh not
all that nice part of Lincoln Park too. Wasn't he
(32:29):
was he really, he was not.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
He was not.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Someone called him the thirteenth Warrior. People saw that.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
You never saw that.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Cue didn't see it, didn't see it. I actually watched
watch the movie called Wolf's This Weekend with Brad Pitt
and George Cloinney. It's actually a decent little flake. I'm
assuming we've seen it by now.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Yeah, I've seen it. It's a good film.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
What's it? What's it on Prime?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I think it's on Apple.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
It's on Apple.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, you're an Apple guy.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Uh not really. My wife was the one that kind
of found it, and she's like, hey, this looks interesting.
I said, yeah, Brad Pitt, George Clooney of course. So
then it kind of felt like they just watched those
two act together in the Ocean series and they're like, oh,
we love their witty banter back and forth. Let's just
roll that into another film. So yeah, anyway, I could
(33:18):
dig it. Papovich, Yes, is he the closest thing to
Bill Belichick in the NBA?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, Like I was doing a little digging on this, right.
So Papovich played at air Force. He had what felt
like kind of like a militant sort of style in
which he coached and communicated to the media. Now, Bill
Belichick played a Wesley and he wasn't a part of
one of the academies. However, his father was, and that's
(33:46):
what he credits oftentimes for a lot of the military
background in which he applies to his coaching and teaching.
So a lot of similarities between the two, a ton
of success. Papovitch obviously a five time NBA champion, three
time Coach of the Year. I would say the difference
is Greg Papovich was much more outspoken about things that
(34:10):
he wanted to talk about. I don't know that we've
ever heard like Bill Belichick outside of football ever say
what he really thinks on anything else but football. Does
that make sense?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, Like he speaks out like Papovich has gotten involved
with like political conversations, Like yeah, absolutely, it makes sense going.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
But like you've never heard Bill Belichick say anything like that. Yeah,
it feels like he just kind of coaches football. I'm
a football coach, that's all I want to talk about,
et cetera. Not saying it's something's wrong with that, but
I do think it's interesting that Greg Papovich for the
manner in which he treated the media, and I'm sure
he's got a better relationship than maybe it's perceived, But
(34:49):
it felt like because there was Bill Belichick, it was
okay for Greg Papovich to handle the media the same way.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Well, I'll say brilliant career first and foremost, I mean,
obviously got the most out of the players that that
he coached along the way, I think the comparison is
fair to say he's the basketball Bill Belichick a lot
of I think just the way we perceived the San
(35:20):
Antonio Spurs as as an organization was very comparable to
what the New England Patriots were as a football franchise.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
So yeah, I think I think looking at.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Greg Popovich and and just how people will remember him,
I think they certainly will remember the fact that he
did speak his mind and he had no problem telling
you exactly how he felt, and and he was he
was definitely a hardcore coach, you know, And and it
(35:53):
just came across that way, and it just seemed as
though it's like, you know, is he a likable guy?
You know, and almost like you think of like a
Mike Krzyzewsky and and is he a likable guy? But
seems to me that a lot of the people that
have played for guys like them. You know, they love them,
you know they love Greg Popovich and and so yeah,
(36:17):
it's a brilliant career.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I think.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Again, I think he's going to become like a president
of operations or something like that for the team. So
he's not completely removing himself from being around basketball and
being around the game. So he'll continue to have a
presence and and and an influence on what takes place
with the team, which I think is very smart and
wise in them to do.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah, I'm not a fan, uh his whole the old
act of he's got a clown or reporter and you know,
it was it just went on and on and then
it became forced just continued to do it.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
And I get it.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Reporter asks you a bad question or a yes no
question to give him a short answer, like Joe Missoula
does a little bit of what does to where he
gives just very short direct love Joe Mazola, He's awesome,
and he does it.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
It comes off different. Yeah, for some reason, it comes
off different than Papovich.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
And Popovich just felt like it was part of his
It was like a bit after a certain point, and
it was like, Okay, dude, we get it, we understand, like,
we get what you're trying to do here. Great career,
brilliant coach. Uh did it. Did a great job obviously
with that that crew of players he had in San
Antonio for all those years, and the fact that he
could do it for as long as he did in
one place was incredible. But yeah, I just wasn't a
(37:35):
fan with the fan of the antics.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
I think, you know, Missoula's like belief in his faith
and how he's able to effortlessly and seamlessly kind of
weave it together. It's like very disarming, whereas I think
guys like Belichick and guys like Popovich, it's not they
don't I don't think they do it to disarm at
(38:00):
their point across, I think they're they don't care if
it comes across as adversarial, if it comes across as confrontational.
I think it's just what they feel is what's most important.
And I think a guy like Missoula, you know, he's
he's able to weave in like it's connected to his
(38:21):
his beliefs and his faith and stuff like that. And
I think that just even his voice tone like you
think about you know, Belichick sounds like the emperor from
from Star Wars. You know, Popovich has a very very
confrontational sounding voice. You know, it's just like it has
(38:43):
like an irritant feel to it. And and then you
take the look. Both of them fit, the way they look,
both of them fit the way they communicate. So it
just it's just a perfect storm of how they they
handled the media, how they looked in handling the media,
how they were perceived, and and so to me, I mean,
(39:06):
but I think I found it to be interesting that
we're talking about two of the most successful coaches in
the history of sport. So there has to be something
to it. I'm just saying it can't just be like empty.
It's not empty calories. Those are real calories. Like that's
like Popovich is like, that's a real one. So you
got to be a red ass to be successful. I
(39:27):
don't know, but it's interesting to think that two of
the greatest to ever do it.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
I have this same save is the greatest in college
football history, right.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Same type of traits. I love Nick Saban what was
the quote he gave, They ran through us like s
through a tin horn. Which I still don't understand. I
still don't get it.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
But he well, you'd have to get him out of
your dog to understand it, because that's that's the only
time you ever kind of ventured down into the South
in your brain at least.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, I think that's uncalled for.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
But I'm saying that, how do you get like, how
do you like Nick Saban but not like Popovich?
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Because Popovich was it felt like an act. Saban felt
like he legitimately had a red ass, like he was
really upset, And you didn't think Popovich's red ass was
really red.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Eighty two games.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
If you exposed his ass, what color was it?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Peach, I'll tell you that. We'll split the difference. Apricot. Okay,
not a red ass.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
I'm gonna leave that one alone because I was about
to say something and that people were like, I'm not even.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Forced by the way shots on the report, mango mango
deck ass. Yeah, okay, by the way thoughts of the
reports that as a turn out, even if they would
have won Game five against the Timberwolves, which they did
not and had no business being in, but Anthony Edwards
(41:08):
couldn't find a basket the Lakers would have had to
continue on without Lebron James, who reportedly suffered a Grade
two MCL sprain in that game.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
As it, as was pointed out, that news came out
really fast after their loss. Did you guys notice that, I.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Mean it definitely did. Did you seek in the tunnel after? Yeah,
he definitely looked like the ten man walking walking.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
I just I usually don't recall information coming out that
fast after a game, after the end of the season.
All that like that fast.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
So you need to tell me the same guy who
showed up following a loss in the finals after the
final game with a brace on his hand that he
never wore at all at any point during any of
the other games in the finals, but did after the
finals were over. You need to tell me that that
guy would have just had had that news come out
(42:01):
immediately after losing Game five like that? Are we trying
to make reckless accusations about Lebron James and people trying
to push a narrative about him? Again?
Speaker 3 (42:10):
I mean you said a lot there. All I said
was I thought that information came out really fast after
the loss.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
That's all. Well, look, I.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
Mean my only run he felt like that it was
like they lost and all of a sudden, it like, oh,
it was unbelievable. He played on a spray and MCL,
you know, because a lot of people were taking issue
with I believe that happened on the collision, right, yeah,
went down. Yeah, and that's and that's what you know,
people were taking issue with the fact that it felt
like because of the other viral video that went out
(42:37):
that basically saw him flopping like looking for a foul,
then he They felt like they needed to protect the reputation,
you know.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
They weren't going to win or lose based off of
Lebron though. That was the thing, Like I think it
was more so geared towards the whole trade, you know,
like the legitimacy and the value of the trade was
in question after that game. And maybe for Lebron, it's
like me having this MCL and me limping up out
(43:07):
of of the arena to leave and doing what it
is that I need to do. Maybe that that separates
him from the culpability of them losing the series. You know,
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know why
he would have, you know, put himself in any type.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Of it feels divisive. It's like it feels like it's like,
oh man, I was trying to play through this injury. Meanwhile,
we got other guys who are out of shape on
this team.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
You know how many cartons of cigarettes do you think
Lucas gone through since the did you see?
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Robert Ori came out and was like, what does JJ
Reddick know about championship championship conditioning? Yeah, I mean he's
stabbed on him dog like, I mean stamped it like
I got like he did the interview and had all
like you could you couldn't even see all of the
trophies that he had from championships because he's got so
(44:04):
many of them. I mean, when somebody comes out and
ranked you like that, that's kind of that was interesting,
But I was curious to try to understand, you know,
what what he meant by it, Like why was he
so offended by JJ Reddick coming out saying that? You know,
he questioned the whole idea, what is even championship? You
(44:26):
don't even know what championship conditioning looks like? Well, I
mean he never won one, so you can't know what
one is.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
I just think maybe he watched you.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Maybe maybe he watched you with the Rockets, maybe he
watched you with the Lakers, maybe he watched youicks.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
By the way, Homie to JJ Redick's defense, he has
said before that when he was at Duke that Mike
Krzyzewski called him out because he was partying one offseason.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
And they ended up getting eliminated early.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
In the tournament, and Shryszewski called about and said, you're
not in shape, Like you're not. So maybe there's some
of that to where he goes, I went through that,
I learned my lesson, and I'm trying to pass called
him out after NCAA tournament loss. Yeah, aren't you too
far into the season to be getting called out for that? No,
(45:24):
it was after the season was over.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Yeah, But I'm saying, would you see that somewhere before
then and tell him you need to get your ass
in better shape and condition before we get to this tournament.
Like I look at the Lucas situation and I find
it to be kind of you're as a coach, you're compromised,
especially if it's something like that because you didn't have
(45:47):
him very long. That's amazing, you didn't have him very long,
and so how do you how do you justify whatever
it is that you're getting. You got to take what
you get, and you got to hope that the things
that made the trade worthwhile for you to do it
(46:08):
are shining through during those games. And he just I mean,
he didn't act out a character. You didn't see a
Luca that you didn't see in Dallas. So I don't
know why people are upset.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
What are you upset for?
Speaker 2 (46:23):
What are you calling that out for?
Speaker 4 (46:25):
Is there need to call that out to me that
you know that would lessen the relationship with me? You
calling it out in the media. I don't have a
problem with you saying I need to be in better shape.
I got a problem with you putting it out there
in the media because now you've basically let it be
made known that you're okay with put me out there,
(46:46):
because that was one of the things that people really
were very critical on Luca when he was in Dallas.
So you're basically going along with the narrative. If I'm Luca,
I'm looking at JJ Reddick like you could kick rocks.
I have no trust for you, and to be honest
with you, respect level was probably not very high either.
(47:08):
I don't respect that have you got something to say
to me about what I need to do, come to me.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah, but if your coach can't call you out, like
who can't? No, you can't.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
No, it's not that's I'm not saying you can't call
a player out. I'm saying why do it in the media.
There's one hundred different things that that JJ Reddick could
have said we could have played better. Did he say
I could have coached better?
Speaker 2 (47:32):
I don't recall.
Speaker 4 (47:33):
Were there any sound bites of jj Reddick saying that
I could have coached better? I know he said he
or got offended that. You know, they were asking him,
does he listen to his assistance on you know, trades
and matchups and stuff like that, and he's like, I.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Do listen to my assistance.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
Well, and then he walked off.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
I do know that he also said, you know, he
pointed out in one of the games, it might have
been after game four, something along the lines of paraphrasing here,
but they just didn't execute. We is code for we
gave them the right place, we gave them the right thing.
Speaker 4 (48:06):
Well, they just don't do it again. That further is
my point. That further is my point. You never want
to be Listen, a coach, a successful coach has to
have some type of ego, has to have some type of.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Kind of some narcissism in them. They got to have
a little bit of it.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
And whether people want to admit that or not, or
will you know, openly admit that a coach has to
have that, they have to have those elements. I don't
have a problem with that. The problem I have is
not it's not a problem for me. I'm not a
Lakers fan. But what the problem that I would have
if I was one of the players, or if I
was a fan, is that you're putting your newly acquired superstar,
(48:48):
which by the way, you're looking to be eventually the
face of your organization, the face of your team, and
you're putting him on blasts. Whether you meant to or
you didn't mean to, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
You didn't do.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
You didn't say anything that would would lead you to
believe that it was like, you know what, this was
a tough series. We're going to learn from it. There's
some things I could have done better. There's things that
we could have all done better. And that starts with me.
Let's figure this thing out in the off season. We're
going to come back better, and we're going to come
(49:22):
back ready to go next season. Like I believe in
these guys in our locker room.
Speaker 2 (49:27):
Let's hear it. Let's hear it, Let's hear it. This
was JJ evaluating himself.
Speaker 8 (49:33):
I'll use my own thoughts to evaluate myself, and I'll
use what my players say and what my coaching staff
says to evaluate. But you know, I know I can
be better and I know I will get better. I
don't necessarily take any satisfaction from how the year went.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
That's not to say I'm not.
Speaker 8 (49:55):
Proud of what the group was able to do and
how we're able to figure things out on the fly
and put ourselves in a position to have home court
in the first round. But there's always there's always ways
to get better, and I can. I can get a
lot better.
Speaker 4 (50:13):
I have a yeah, I don't have a problem that's
called So it's the biggest thing to me is self accountability.
So I'm glad that's you cute that up and played it,
because that's what's most important. Not calling out players, not
not throwing out divisive things, not not really you know,
being a person that that kind of you front streak me, like,
(50:37):
don't front streat me, you know, like protect the team.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
What if he were to finish with now, if I
could get luc at An put down the funnel Cake,
we could we could be pursuing a title. Funnel They
are good, Yeah, they are. Funnel cake is good.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
Strawberries and whipped cream, you know, also an ice vanilla
ice cream.
Speaker 5 (50:58):
You know who's got a.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Lot of got a lot of criticism. And we did
the shows together. And there's Joe Mazzoola got a lot
of criticism his first year.
Speaker 5 (51:06):
This was his first year.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
He had never coached before, he had never done it before,
redly to that level and and you would see big
differences in year two. So I would expect him. Much
like players, coaches are going to get better from year
over year. You just got to hope that the trust
is there. That's all. I would say.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
A lot of Boston Celtics talk, you know, well they're
still in it. Well they're in it. Someone someone that
invested interests, you know.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
Who LeVar yourself? Your c's Van bar No, you do.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Know is like an eighties front runner. I do know that, Okay,
I do know that.
Speaker 4 (51:40):
Yeah, the Chicago Bears lost Boston Celtics the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Yeah. I don't root. I analyze.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
That's what I do.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
There's no rooting. Interesting, it is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
Almost said something. I would have gotten dumbed for it.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
By the way, I gotta be honest with you, Brady
really held out on the F S R I R
because I know you went through it this weekend.
Speaker 3 (52:10):
I know you did, and you know, I mean, I'm
still under the weather. But no, this weekend was fine.
I didn't have any issues. Yeah, you know, one text
message to you and then you gotta you gotta put
it on blast now because I've been there. Unbelievable, unbelievable,
been there.
Speaker 2 (52:25):
We talk about this stuff.
Speaker 5 (52:26):
I've been there.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
It's awful.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
LeVar he all right. So we went out to dinner
with another family and and and we end up paying
for dinner with the other family. And so they reciprocated
by buying ice cream afterwards. And I told him, I
was like, I could not get out of that ice
cream store fast enough. I had to get home immediately.
(52:51):
I looked at my wife and she's like, why are
you hurrying us like, oh, bib, I need to go.
We need to go as soon as humanly possible. And
it was raining outside and so just everything took a
little bit longer, but fortunately it all worked out.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 4 (53:07):
I found myself in the same scenario and situation over
over some hot sausages that I didn't realize how hot
the sausages were and what happened.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
Oh it was.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
Yeah, bruh, yeah, bruh. I mean, dude, forty hits different.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
There are things when I was thirty nine I could
do different than when I'm forty. And now it's like
and so I and I know Jonahs has a dairy issue.
He always has, probably since he was, you know, four
years old, But boy, that hit different.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
Yeah, it's not so much of a dairy issue. There's
just certain things that decide. Yeah, those days are over, buddy,
Like it's not like it. I'm telling you.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
I mean, a little cereal happened.
Speaker 3 (53:52):
Full of full disclosure. One of the issues was I
thought I was going to share the milkshake with my wife,
which she didn't at all. After I when I initially
got it, she said she would and I'm too stingy
of a human being, and I hate wasting food. So
I was like, all right, now I feel like I'm
obligated to drink this whole thing even though I really
didn't want it and or needed, which led you obviously
(54:16):
again uh, the urgency to get back home as soon
as Paul. I mean, I'm not an away game guy.
I'm just I'm just not.
Speaker 2 (54:23):
Yeah, I'm not either.
Speaker 4 (54:24):
But but even that now is being you know, that's
that's become I'll be honest too, that's become more of
a debate too, start to be.
Speaker 3 (54:34):
And here's the issue is that ran through my head.
But when we initially walked in the bathrooms near the
front door and it smelled terrible, I was like, and
then I was thinking, like someone just absolutely blew this out,
Like I'm not going to follow that up. I mean,
this stench alone led me to not want to go
in there. But also I'm thinking of my head, like
by to use it. It's like everyone everyone in the
(54:55):
entire place to go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
That's the worst is when they think it's you.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
Oh damn. Meanwhile, all right, we get it, we get it. Sorry.
Speaker 5 (55:16):
Meanwhile, it's like, yes, so what what's wow?
Speaker 1 (55:20):
Right? Do that?
Speaker 5 (55:21):
In fact?
Speaker 2 (55:22):
I'm the person I made it smell like that. Yeah,
Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe
with lamar As rating win and Jonas knots on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We got a new show open. I did want to
let you guys know I am currently working on a
banger of a song to open up. Wait.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
So so I got a new song and you haven't
got a new song, and yet.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
No I am deciding between two or three.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It took you that long?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, Okay, it's gotta be right.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah, gotta be right, gotta be right, you know, boy.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Right, putting pressure on yourself. Yeah? What up?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Var?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What up?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Sticks?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
What a var? Good morning, guys. Congratulations obviously, the the
big game last night the Winnipeg Jets. Congratulations, what a game.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
At ago y'all tell me? Uh, I like cocky. I
just didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Winnipeg tied it on a deflection with one point six
seconds left and and then won it in overtime, double overtime,
So it was fantastic. But there was also the Game seven,
which saw the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets,
and game was pretty simple for me. Three beats too.
Whoever shooting the three ball well nowadays in the NBA,
(01:27):
that'll be that one hundred beats one. That's it. Houston
couldn't hit a three. They hit you know, half their
three point total in garbage time. Other than that, Golden
State was hot led by Buddy Heal and that was
pretty much the story of the game.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I mean out of nowhere too. Buddy came out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I don't think Steph Curry had a three pointer in
the first quarter of the game. I think he did,
I don't think he hit one. They were off coming
out as well, so Buddy Healed. I think it is
is that how you say, yeah, Buddy Hill, Yeah, just
you know, he picked up a lot of the slack.
(02:06):
But they ended up they ended up speeding up and
ended up starting to make make their shots. I mean,
the usual suspects still were what they needed to be
in the game. I just think that it was experienced
that won over the youth of of of Houston, and
and it makes me feel like that might be the
(02:27):
theme of the rest of the way, Like I think
it's going to be possibly experienced that that maybe wins
out over over a young talent. So I feel like
Oklahoma could be maybe in you know, they could be
in a tough situation is I mean, they could be
in a tough situation and and and you know, I
(02:55):
think that I think any team that has experience.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now I'm going with from.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Front you are you a little gun shy after the
big Jimmy Butler proclamation all that? No, because I mean, honestly,
like if you look at this out right, but if
you look at the series as a total, the one
game he didn't play the Golden State Horse to care
business easily.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Well, they still went to seven games, and they right.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Because he came back and he was involved in the restigators.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
That's correct, and they he had twenty points and and
and some very critical point he had, like.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, but they needed Buddy Heel, they need some of
the other pieces around Stell.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You know, he closed them out. He put six.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He went on a six to o run against them
in the fourth quarter when they needed it. It was
a critical point in the game.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Did they they do that there?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah? I mean he went on a six ozer run
by itself in the fourth and it was still yeah. Sure,
all right, Well, I mean, hey, you got it, go ahead,
you give me your analysis.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I'm just telling you.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I'll just tell you what I I think about it,
that's all.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I mean, you tell me what it's all about, because
I definitely think that if they don't have Jimmy Butler,
they do not win the series. And in fact, if
they didn't have Jimmy Butler, if they don't have them
moving forward, I don't think they have a chance.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
But that's just me.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I mean, you tell me, and I would say that
I still think they got a chance. Like just like
in the series when you made this great proclamation and
it came out beat Houston, I still think they have
a chance. I think we underestimate not only the pieces
around Steph Curry, but we underestimate the fact that this
is still a team that's won championships even without having
(04:34):
to have a Batman and Robin scenario if you want
to call it that, or a one to two punch
like Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry. So I still give
them a chance. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying
they're going to be Oklahoma City, but I'm not counting
them out. Because of what Jonahs said, this league has
had to adapt to Steph Curry, and Steph Curry has
been the best in the past decade. As far as
(04:58):
shooting threes and getting the other teams have to play
their game, which is if you can match them shooting
threes or catch them on a bad shooting night, yeah
you can. You can catch them, you can get them.
But I mean last night wasn't even their best shooting night,
but they still ended up and the end of the
day making more threes than Houston did. And that's kind
of become what, unfortunately the NBA has become is the
(05:21):
team that shoots the most, makes the most threes, usually
ends up winning the game. So I always give them
a puncher's chance in every matchup because of Steph and
because of how this team has been constructed to be
able to support out around him. So it was a
good series, though it really was. Houston's got a lot
to build onto in the future, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I give Golden State a chance because they can shoot.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Don't disagree with that.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
But if we're talking having the opportunity to beat a
team like Houston and to actually have a chance against
which will be interesting to see, can they match how
well do they match up against the timber woe. Even
though I'm gonna take experience as long as they're healthy,
as long as Jimmy b is a playoff p or
(06:08):
playoff b is is healthy, I think that they have
a chance against Minnesota, but I think that's gonna be
a tough one for them.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I feel like that's one I'm conflicted on. But you know, you.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Gotta have you gotta have a little bit more than
just shooting.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You gotta have more.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
You gotta have you gotta have defense, you gotta have rebounding.
There are some other elements that you do have to have.
I mean, they had to survive poor shooting during the
course of that that game early on, and it was
I mean, it was fairly close. You know, it was
a It was a well played game in the second
(06:48):
in the third quarter, and you had an unsung hero
step up and step in for them. But I think
there should be some concerns for Golden State moving forward.
I see some holes and what it is that they
got going on, And if you're gonna live buy it three,
you're gonna have to die about it three as well.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And if they don't have a great evening every single.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Time they go out, I mean, if those other elements
are deficient and what they bring to the table. I
don't know if they can. I don't know if they
can get out of this next this next series.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean, I personally think both of you guys are
wrong because if you listen to Buddy Heald here, he's
talking about spirit animals, he's talking about emotional meetings. Before
Game seven, just take a listen. Yesterday, let me get
to Houston.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
We had a very emotional meeting, was led by Draymond
and Steph and Jimmy and from from then I was
just locked in and just skep my spirit together.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And it's just like this.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
The meeting we had was just like just better get
everybody chills. And we know when it's when they go
to bother, we know what that means. And the meeting
was well well needed. Game sixty was not locked in.
We were, you know, dre Drey play all the blame
on him just getting hmself nothing. You see him today,
he was not freaking with the rats. He didn't mention nobody.
He was just being Draymond Green, all defensive player. He's
(08:08):
our team leader, he's our spirit animal, and uh he's
he's there for us and today and uh he just
just fallowed that lead, you know. And we know how
much this game meant for them, and we just collectively
had a meeting. Let me just figured it out.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You go that Mike Tyson, Mike, I don't think he
sounds like Mike.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, who was who was just taking in? Like you
know his commentary post game. You're listening to his accent
from He's from the Bahamas, He's a Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
So he sounds like Mike Tyson.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Just I'm just saying, yeah, tripped out man, you don't
think so?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Not quite, But I mean I could see where you're
coming from. Go ahead, play it again, skills. Now everybody's
heard it. Let's here one word.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Well he's from so we can compare that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Let's compare to. Let's compare.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Here's Mike Tyson.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I was going to rip his hard. I'm the best ever.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'm the most brutal in Michigan, most ruthless.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Champion has ever been. My style of the pet you with.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
My defense is impregnable.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And I'm just from Roch.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I want your heart, I.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Want to eat your children.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Jeez. Yesterday, le me get to Houston.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
We had a very emotional meeting was led by Draymond
and Steph and Jimmy and uh. From from then, I
was just locked in and just kept my spirit together
and it's just like this. The meeting we had was
just like just better get everybody chills, and we know
when it's when they go to bout. We know what
that means. And uh, the meeting was well well needed.
(09:38):
Game sixty was not locked in. I was going to
rip his hard. I'm the best ever, I'm the most brutal.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Buddy hild to do a hell of a Mike Tyson impression.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I think Buddy Healed is Mike Tyson when he started
micro dos He's like, I think that's what it is
when he when he when he let go of all
that anger and just started to relax.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That's that's more Buddy Heal. So I mean, I can't
go with this with you guys on this journey, But
why not Because I can't.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I just don't. I don't, I just don't. I don't agree.
But geez, I didn't notice at what? At what point
is Draymond Green just going to acknowledge I knew exactly
what I was doing and I was trying to hit
him in the face when I did it. Why would
he do that? Though? It just but is anybody, Look,
(10:32):
he's been kicked out of big games before. We know
what happened in the finals against the Cavs, like we've
you ever noticed more often than not, though, he makes
it to the end of the game.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
So that's I mean, But that's what I'm saying. So
it's like he doesn't have to tell you the obvious.
He makes it to the end of the game more
often than not, so he knows exactly how far he
can take it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
How many times is he going to flail his legs
and arms out jack somebody? Yeah, jack up in the face, Mike,
and then look around and go watch you play good
defense against me?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Slap.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's every game.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
It's been going on for a decade, every game, and
then they love him for it.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Like you get to the end of the game, you
see all the guys hugging on him and stuff like that,
and I'd be like, I'll see you in the tunnel player,
Like all that action you did, you're doing on his court,
I want to see if you a real tough guy
for real.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Didn't Tristan Thompson go after him at a club?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Did he?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I heard about that. I think I heard something like
slapped him or something. No smoke in the club.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Can you look that up?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Just another.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Tristan Thompson Caribbean. I'm pretty certain he's just making sweet anyway.
I'm sure he sounds like Mike Tyson too. But I'll say,
you know, with with Draymond, he is he he serves
his purpose.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I mean, he was trying to hit some timely three pointers.
Couldn't do it, could make them. I knew, I knew
they were gonna win the game. When he hit the
first three, it was like, Okay, it's that that time
of night. How what was he won? One for what
on the night? One for that was the only one
he probably that's all he needed. Oh my gosh. He
(12:22):
is not very much.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I mean he played.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I don't know. I think he scored the first five points.
I was like, yeah, they're good at this point.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I think Draymond is the spirit animal that drives them.
I agree with with that assessment. I think the sentimental
value that Draymond brings to the table is way more
valuable than the tangible skills and the what you got,
what you got, Lee, what you got.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
I'm reading up on the fight at an LA nightclub
in twenty eighteen between Tristan Thompson and Draymond Green.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Well, what were the details? I'm coming up on it.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Uh saw with that Delight was Delia's at Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
You yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
They got a magician there.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
In the center on top of the Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
All I know is neither wanted them wanted no smoke
in l A with Willie Mack though, I was just say, yeah,
they don't want that.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
That's that real pressure. Is that the same place? No,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's possible.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I don't know where they were and strong.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I must just stop.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Everyone says it was a sucker punch by Thompson, but
nobody had phones because it was a lebron party where
everyone's phones are taken away.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And I think which is similar to a divvy party, right, ye,
very simple.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yikes, they're gonna take your phones away. Let's not let's
not misinterpret that. Where they take your phones.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Was there was there baby oil there Jesus where it's
just going all the way all right.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
There, Hey, listen, let's swim in the mud. Give me
a snorkel.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm in. Let's go.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Okay. Twenty five k per slat player.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And I think, by the way, I think that fight
was because of something Draymond said during one of their
finals matchups or something like that, when Golden State and
Cleveland played each other.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Like I'm telling you there, why wait so long? There
have been plenty of times just I'm telling you, cats
go right in the tunnel because more often than not,
you know, guys meet up with the families.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's my homie from college. Da da da.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Let's go get some Some places have tailgates for you
after the game. You go get some food, talk da
da da, where you get on the bus, gotta go
fly out or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Cats really be meeting nothing now.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Probably Q is never been a part of seeing or
witnessing or understanding anything like this because quarterbacks are a
little different.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
They're a little bit more elevated than we are.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The hell that means fights.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
No, no, I'm talking, I'm talking when the game is over,
when the families are meeting.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
There actually be dudes that be like be rolling on
one another.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I remember having I will I'll leading with the person
nameless And I don't even know why even was there
to be a part of this.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I was moral support but we went.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And stood outside their locker room door and was waiting
for the smoke, and we would have got hurt because
it was too unless that the other dudes was like,
I'm a pro, I'm not getting involved in this whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Da da da.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I will say it was the Ravens, though, I will
say it was the Ravens, and I mean it got
pretty interesting and happens quite a bit though. Man, I'm
telling you postgame fights in the tunnels or or or
scuffles and and and dust stuff, they happen more often
(16:10):
than people think. I'm just telling you do some crazy
stuff like like spit at me or anything like that. Like,
we gotta get it. I'm sorry, on on manhood on
my name. We gotta get it. I'm not I'm not
walking away from that. Manhood on mine, on mine, on him,
(16:33):
we gotta get it. I don't care. I don't care
if you spit by accident something like that. We gotta
get it.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What about gleeking, Nope, if there's any type of yus
you guys remember that.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
And people are really good at it too. You remember that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yes, I know what gleeking is and people are good
at it, all right, So for people that are not
familiar with gleeking. Back in the day, you used to
be able to take your tongue and push it toards
the bottom of your tongue towards your top teeth, and
you could shoot saliva. Du I could only do it
if I ate like something sour or something like. I couldn't.
I couldn't do it on like Yeah, it's like, uh
(17:14):
like some long lost reptilian sort of g you have
from back in the day where people could just start
gleeking cleaking for whatever reason, gleeking and blowing bubble has
never been able to do those things.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Can't do it, Like dudes could blow bubbles. Never understood that,
like with gum or no, well just they're they're they're.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Just what they got.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
They could blow bubbles, never understood it, like off their tongue. Yeah,
I don't know what type of germs or whatever it
is you need to be able to to form a
bubble in your mouth. But anyways, that's off the beaten path.
Ass can get beat after games based off of the
stuff that Draymond Green does, And I'm just so blown
(17:58):
away that I've never heard of more scuffles with him
post game.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
He must.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I mean, he must really kind of be that dude
to them basketball players, man, because you can't do like
he kicked a man in his head in the one game,
kicked his head all the way into the ground, into
the court and then looks like what happened. I don't
know what happened. What happened, Like, I'm gonna show you
what happened. You son would show you what happened.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Something tells me if he does that with Anthony ed Or,
it's there's gonna be ah, you think you're gonna tell you.
I just think I think he'll he'll let it be known.
He's not gonna just look around at the ref for
He's gonna let it be known. He'll he'll talk about
a post game like he's not gonna be shy about
it for whatever he's.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Allowed him to push Lebron James. So I just feel
like anybody can get it, especially and and don't you
think the referees would kind of be excited to see
somebody actually hitting back. I mean, honestly, it'd be the
Anthony Edwards beat a hit him back, and they'd be like,
we're gonna let that one.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Go, Like what we didn't see it. They had the
nerve to flail his arms to him, be like, where's
the foul?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Listen, Draymond. He followed through, I don't know what to
tell you, simple flailing. What did you say?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Did he punched you in the in the dolls where
when let's go to the replay. Nope, don't see it.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's amazing, man, Paul on out of the side. At
this point, You're like, all right, that's just he's grandfathered in.
He could just do it.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Ever he once 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 2 (19:49):
By the way, we didn't mention the big event over
the week or one of the big events over the weekend,
the Kentucky Derby. We did have names in a hat
that we drew on fry Lee to lap. Did anybody
win or even come close to winning of the name selected?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That?
Speaker 7 (20:07):
That's great, Well, I keep my role going of winning
names out of a hat with East Avenue who finished eighth.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So that was the closest we got to that win
place or show?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Eighth place?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Wait, I thought I had them finishing at thirteenth.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah, I saw, I saw what you had there. I
think those were the unofficial results.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
The official results have East Avenue is eighth, Testastic as tenth,
Luxer Cafe at twelfth.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
The unofficial results were five horses off.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Yeah, yes, twenty five?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
What all right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I know, I know there were all of them.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Were we off? But we did?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
We did bring in the end here with Lorena and LeVar.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Lorena's Flying Mohawk finished eighteenth and LaVar's admired Daytona last
place nineteen sticks pick.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well, technically I didn't pick it, Okay, I'm not LeVar.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Here's what I don't understand either, is when I was
doing this, the search for this, I guess the unofficial
results had admired Daytona at ninth. How can you go
from top ten to dead at last?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I don't. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Well, no, are you?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Surely I'm looking at two different official results you know
so well match each other.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
So yeah, these, yes, you're right, the one official, but
from two different sources.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Dude, did I look up like the results from like
the lead to lap of the Kentucky Turkey. And that's
what they gave me.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
A little too many, one too many mint julips. I
didn't I didn't have a mint julip. Oops.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oops, it's too it's too tough for you to make
too many things going on that it is right, So Lee,
what what are what are the top top six that
you're showing?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
All right?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
So Sovereignty of course one beating out Journalism and Baeza
placing at third. Then we have a final gambit Owen
Almighty Burnham Square, then followed by the American favorite Sandman
was the betting favorite. Then we got into our our
our horses, East Avenue, Chunk of Gold, Testastic, Cold Battle,
Luxer Cafe, Neo Equalis.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
I don't know ne equillis so off.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I want to pick my horse next time we could
do that. Yeah, I don't want to go out of
the hat. Yeah, because now you're now you're yeah, I'm
into it it yeah, after that Netflix deal.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
But the problem is, what if we pick the same horse.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
How about we do a trifecta. We could do our
win place and show Okay, I like that I picked
my own horse on the ben malor Show Sovereignty and
she won good show?
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Is that on?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Is that? Is that?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
On? Like?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Can we hear the SoundBite of it?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
No?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
But Ben did post me on Twitter giving me my props.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Did he gave her credit? He did?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
He did.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Lorenda knows how to pick them horses.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
I'm gonna be a professional horse bender.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Now you watch me. I bet I bet horse. I
bet four horses. None of them came close.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I bet on all one.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I bet on all three sovereignty journalism in but I
put them in different spots. I did get Baza to place,
so I got half my money back.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
How about the fun fact that every single horse in
the derby was a descendant of Secretariat. We did further
research over the weekend and found that I don't know
the right terminology. I've never owned a horse, but basically
he had six hundred and sixty three kids.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Damn. Yeah, it's like Genghis Khan. Yeah, yeah, basically, well
when you take into account like I saw a photo
of Secretariat that the Belmonts takes. Yeah, and it was
just like just trying to give people nowaday context as
to why every single horse it is trails like from
(23:57):
that lineage. The second horse was so far back in
the photo was hard to tell what it was. You
thought it was a training session, And they're like, no,
this is Secretariat, arguably the greatest athlete ever, thirty one
lengths ahead of the next horse winning the Belmont Stakes.
Which it does take me back to college when Charlie
(24:17):
Weiss gave us this passionate speech basically about like coming
out and just like stopping on a team that you
should beat, and he made the reference to Secretariat, which
didn't hit with a lot of the guys in the
locker room, because, I mean, at that point in college,
not that many people are in the know of horse racing,
let alone gambling altogether. At least I wasn't, and I
(24:40):
know there's a bunch of other teammates who weren't either.
But then the fact that when he said it was
a horse and he said it was the greatest athlete ever,
I thought to myself, Okay, now my head's in a
completely different place where I'm saying, like our horses.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Athletes, Yeah, yeah, I think they are. You think they're
more more of an athlete than a golfer.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, can you can you be an athlete. Can you
be an athlete if you have to be ridden by
jockey or you know, as Jenness would call them whatever
he calls them.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Garden homes, that'd be they're athletes.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
They call them athletes that uh at rodeos too, want
to they call them?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, but they don't. They don't call the bronco or
the bull the athlete, do they?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Yes, Like when they go down, let's say one of
the athletes, I think it's like one of the animal
at It's something like that, like it's a.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
They say what it like.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
They make it clear that it's an animal though, like
one of them. I forget how they say it. But
they call them athletes. Yeah, they say animal athletes, animal athlete.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, there you go. I mean they're morons for starters,
who horses? Why are they morons? What I could say
that about a lot.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Of people are actually really smart.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I thought horses had small brands whatever it is. I
think they're morons. You're right around you, right around in circles.
You've got this weird eye protection on, and then and
then you've got you've got this this tick on your back.
Who's who's beating you on the side You can't do
a damn thing about it because you're too stupid. And
(26:18):
then when you finally get there, they give you a
bunch of roses and they're probably roses bought Vaughn's for
like three ninety nine a flower. They wrap it around
your neck and you go back to the stable. They'll
let you have sex for a little while. And then
if you turn your ankle getting out of bed because
you just laid one down and gets a wreck. Next
thing you know, there's a white tent that comes out
(26:39):
and they bring out a gun the size of an
elephant trunk and they put you to sleep. You're a moron.
Get a better life, get a job, and.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I understand completely while you get hammered on the weekends
on social media. I mean, it makes complete sense, now.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Don't They have small and the Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
They're considered one of the more intelligent animals in the
Animal Kingdom, long term memory, social intelligence.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
They could actually use tools and problems solve.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Who they beat out a termite?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
You never saw the show Mister ed like he used
to talk to people. Man, we can never do like
any live show.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I mean, I love the track.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
This is great issue.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Jonas is gonna get his ass kicked and one of
these live shows because someone's gonna really love horses and
just come in and beat his hat.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I mean, now I realize why Boss Hog is no
longer with us. You're a terrible Yeah, you don't. You
don't love animals, You don't love them. You shuck you
think you did? You think Boss Hogg was a moron?
He had his moments.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
See there you go, see you now.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I wonder what he thought about you, Like he was
looking through the window like this mother effort.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You as messed up to. I can picture jonas you
said a Southern accent, yelling at him. Oh no, you
know what I'm saying to it.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Yeah, it was like, damn boy, back here and there.
It's like you better sit on down.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
It's like.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I'm just telling you picture told you you better, I'd
be walking around here. No attitude, You ain't got no thumbs.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Jass down up, man.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Just it's messed up.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Whatever. You know, it's messed up. You guys continuing to
bring up my dead dog, That's what's messed up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
No, don't try to deflectro you love it, Do not
try to deflect it, because you know you went down
the dark lane.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
You let you take you down a very dark lane
and you what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
And you went right on down?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
And what you mean?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
You said? You better get all over here? Boy, doesn't
tell you.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I get picture, Jonah, I told you to come just
hurt now.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Switch spatoon nearby?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yes? Oh no, is that the same spatoon?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
I was saying, mad, I think that's it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
No, that's it, that's it right there.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
There's like twenty in the system.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
No, that one is it round? Can we hear them
just for.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
The same We'll start with spatoon one.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Nope, that ain't it. Ain't it?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
That definitely ain't one was aggressive, Yeah, and we didn't
even hear it hit the platoon that was.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Like hawk to his boyfriend, No, spit on that thinging,
Oh whoa that might have been. It was that one,
was it?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
And then sound for is the one I was using?
And then this one's number five? Yeah that's a hawk. Yeah,
that's a hawk. That's a hawk too, for real? Yeah,
stop it?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah it was that other one. It was the the
third one you played. That's the the Iowa Sam's patoo. Yeah,
that's the wall right there, the southwest. Posh, my god, man,
when they when they really do start giving out seat numbers,
that we're gonna have to bury that segment. That's gonna
(30:18):
be a shame. That's really gonna be a shame like that.
That's that's by far and away your best work, Brady,
is the southwestra cattle call.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
They're not doing away with it, though, it'll be there
in some capacity. Unfortunately for all the all the people
who don't want to spend a little extra bucks to
pay to not being the cattle call, they're still gonna
have it. It's gonna be a part of their boarding process.
They're not getting rid of getting rid of it entirely.
(30:48):
So now you really, if you really want to feel
like a human, you just pay a little bit more
and you don't have to feel like cattle on a
Southwest flight.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So there you go, and they're doing the there's no
more free bags, right, that's done.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, that I believe just started or is starting here shortly.
So it's a shame, I trust me. The plast couple
of times I've flown into it's really impacted the uh,
the amount of people on the flights.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Oh was it dropped just because felt it felt like.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
It was like one of those planes Vince Young bought
every seat on like it was like there was like
twenty some people on. This is great.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Wait what did ye do?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Why?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Like bought like every seat on a Southwest plant? I
think to like fly people up and back from something
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Wow, good for him.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
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.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
We are going to take a take a moment here
to just acknowledge, you know, hell of a job, hell
of a job by uh one. Greg Popovich calls it
a career as a head coach. He will not be bad.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
President.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Here, go go up up top like a rally, I
you know, hit a pat rally on him. Yeah, I'm
not sure.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I don't know. He went. He had the stroke, he
had the medical issue this year. It seemed like this
was heading towards the end, and so now he walks away.
But uh, but a hell of a run and hell
of a run guy who did it for a for
a long time. And he uh was also uh not
all that nice part of Lincoln Park too. Wasn't he
(32:29):
was he really, he was not.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
He was not.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Someone called him the thirteenth Warrior. People saw that.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
You never saw that.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Cue didn't see it, didn't see it. I actually watched
watch the movie called Wolf's This Weekend with Brad Pitt
and George Cloinney. It's actually a decent little flake. I'm
assuming we've seen it by now.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Yeah, I've seen it. It's a good film.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
What's it? What's it on Prime?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I think it's on Apple.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
It's on Apple.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, you're an Apple guy.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Uh not really. My wife was the one that kind
of found it, and she's like, hey, this looks interesting.
I said, yeah, Brad Pitt, George Clooney of course. So
then it kind of felt like they just watched those
two act together in the Ocean series and they're like, oh,
we love their witty banter back and forth. Let's just
roll that into another film. So yeah, anyway, I could
(33:18):
dig it. Papovich, Yes, is he the closest thing to
Bill Belichick in the NBA?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, Like I was doing a little digging on this, right.
So Papovich played at air Force. He had what felt
like kind of like a militant sort of style in
which he coached and communicated to the media. Now, Bill
Belichick played a Wesley and he wasn't a part of
one of the academies. However, his father was, and that's
(33:46):
what he credits oftentimes for a lot of the military
background in which he applies to his coaching and teaching.
So a lot of similarities between the two, a ton
of success. Papovitch obviously a five time NBA champion, three
time Coach of the Year. I would say the difference
is Greg Papovich was much more outspoken about things that
(34:10):
he wanted to talk about. I don't know that we've
ever heard like Bill Belichick outside of football ever say
what he really thinks on anything else but football. Does
that make sense?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, Like he speaks out like Papovich has gotten involved
with like political conversations, Like yeah, absolutely, it makes sense going.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
But like you've never heard Bill Belichick say anything like that. Yeah,
it feels like he just kind of coaches football. I'm
a football coach, that's all I want to talk about,
et cetera. Not saying it's something's wrong with that, but
I do think it's interesting that Greg Papovich for the
manner in which he treated the media, and I'm sure
he's got a better relationship than maybe it's perceived, But
(34:49):
it felt like because there was Bill Belichick, it was
okay for Greg Papovich to handle the media the same way.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Well, I'll say brilliant career first and foremost, I mean,
obviously got the most out of the players that that
he coached along the way, I think the comparison is
fair to say he's the basketball Bill Belichick a lot
of I think just the way we perceived the San
(35:20):
Antonio Spurs as as an organization was very comparable to
what the New England Patriots were as a football franchise.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
So yeah, I think I think looking at.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Greg Popovich and and just how people will remember him,
I think they certainly will remember the fact that he
did speak his mind and he had no problem telling
you exactly how he felt, and and he was he
was definitely a hardcore coach, you know, And and it
(35:53):
just came across that way, and it just seemed as
though it's like, you know, is he a likable guy?
You know, and almost like you think of like a
Mike Krzyzewsky and and is he a likable guy? But
seems to me that a lot of the people that
have played for guys like them. You know, they love them,
you know they love Greg Popovich and and so yeah,
(36:17):
it's a brilliant career.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I think.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Again, I think he's going to become like a president
of operations or something like that for the team. So
he's not completely removing himself from being around basketball and
being around the game. So he'll continue to have a
presence and and and an influence on what takes place
with the team, which I think is very smart and
wise in them to do.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah, I'm not a fan, uh his whole the old
act of he's got a clown or reporter and you know,
it was it just went on and on and then
it became forced just continued to do it.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
And I get it.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Reporter asks you a bad question or a yes no
question to give him a short answer, like Joe Missoula
does a little bit of what does to where he
gives just very short direct love Joe Mazola, He's awesome,
and he does it.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
It comes off different. Yeah, for some reason, it comes
off different than Papovich.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
And Popovich just felt like it was part of his
It was like a bit after a certain point, and
it was like, Okay, dude, we get it, we understand, like,
we get what you're trying to do here. Great career,
brilliant coach. Uh did it. Did a great job obviously
with that that crew of players he had in San
Antonio for all those years, and the fact that he
could do it for as long as he did in
one place was incredible. But yeah, I just wasn't a
(37:35):
fan with the fan of the antics.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
I think, you know, Missoula's like belief in his faith
and how he's able to effortlessly and seamlessly kind of
weave it together. It's like very disarming, whereas I think
guys like Belichick and guys like Popovich, it's not they
don't I don't think they do it to disarm at
(38:00):
their point across, I think they're they don't care if
it comes across as adversarial, if it comes across as confrontational.
I think it's just what they feel is what's most important.
And I think a guy like Missoula, you know, he's
he's able to weave in like it's connected to his
(38:21):
his beliefs and his faith and stuff like that. And
I think that just even his voice tone like you
think about you know, Belichick sounds like the emperor from
from Star Wars. You know, Popovich has a very very
confrontational sounding voice. You know, it's just like it has
(38:43):
like an irritant feel to it. And and then you
take the look. Both of them fit, the way they look,
both of them fit the way they communicate. So it
just it's just a perfect storm of how they they
handled the media, how they looked in handling the media,
how they were perceived, and and so to me, I mean,
(39:06):
but I think I found it to be interesting that
we're talking about two of the most successful coaches in
the history of sport. So there has to be something
to it. I'm just saying it can't just be like empty.
It's not empty calories. Those are real calories. Like that's
like Popovich is like, that's a real one. So you
got to be a red ass to be successful. I
(39:27):
don't know, but it's interesting to think that two of
the greatest to ever do it.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
I have this same save is the greatest in college
football history, right.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Same type of traits. I love Nick Saban what was
the quote he gave, They ran through us like s
through a tin horn. Which I still don't understand. I
still don't get it.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
But he well, you'd have to get him out of
your dog to understand it, because that's that's the only
time you ever kind of ventured down into the South
in your brain at least.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, I think that's uncalled for.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
But I'm saying that, how do you get like, how
do you like Nick Saban but not like Popovich?
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Because Popovich was it felt like an act. Saban felt
like he legitimately had a red ass, like he was
really upset, And you didn't think Popovich's red ass was
really red.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Eighty two games.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
If you exposed his ass, what color was it?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Peach, I'll tell you that. We'll split the difference. Apricot. Okay,
not a red ass.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
I'm gonna leave that one alone because I was about
to say something and that people were like, I'm not even.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Forced by the way shots on the report, mango mango
deck ass. Yeah, okay, by the way thoughts of the
reports that as a turn out, even if they would
have won Game five against the Timberwolves, which they did
not and had no business being in, but Anthony Edwards
(41:08):
couldn't find a basket the Lakers would have had to
continue on without Lebron James, who reportedly suffered a Grade
two MCL sprain in that game.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
As it, as was pointed out, that news came out
really fast after their loss. Did you guys notice that, I.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Mean it definitely did. Did you seek in the tunnel after? Yeah,
he definitely looked like the ten man walking walking.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
I just I usually don't recall information coming out that
fast after a game, after the end of the season.
All that like that fast.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
So you need to tell me the same guy who
showed up following a loss in the finals after the
final game with a brace on his hand that he
never wore at all at any point during any of
the other games in the finals, but did after the
finals were over. You need to tell me that that
guy would have just had had that news come out
(42:01):
immediately after losing Game five like that? Are we trying
to make reckless accusations about Lebron James and people trying
to push a narrative about him? Again?
Speaker 3 (42:10):
I mean you said a lot there. All I said
was I thought that information came out really fast after
the loss.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
That's all. Well, look, I.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
Mean my only run he felt like that it was
like they lost and all of a sudden, it like, oh,
it was unbelievable. He played on a spray and MCL,
you know, because a lot of people were taking issue
with I believe that happened on the collision, right, yeah,
went down. Yeah, and that's and that's what you know,
people were taking issue with the fact that it felt
like because of the other viral video that went out
(42:37):
that basically saw him flopping like looking for a foul,
then he They felt like they needed to protect the reputation,
you know.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
They weren't going to win or lose based off of
Lebron though. That was the thing, Like I think it
was more so geared towards the whole trade, you know,
like the legitimacy and the value of the trade was
in question after that game. And maybe for Lebron, it's
like me having this MCL and me limping up out
(43:07):
of of the arena to leave and doing what it
is that I need to do. Maybe that that separates
him from the culpability of them losing the series. You know,
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know why
he would have, you know, put himself in any type.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Of it feels divisive. It's like it feels like it's like,
oh man, I was trying to play through this injury. Meanwhile,
we got other guys who are out of shape on
this team.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
You know how many cartons of cigarettes do you think
Lucas gone through since the did you see?
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Robert Ori came out and was like, what does JJ
Reddick know about championship championship conditioning? Yeah, I mean he's
stabbed on him dog like, I mean stamped it like
I got like he did the interview and had all
like you could you couldn't even see all of the
trophies that he had from championships because he's got so
(44:04):
many of them. I mean, when somebody comes out and
ranked you like that, that's kind of that was interesting,
But I was curious to try to understand, you know,
what what he meant by it, Like why was he
so offended by JJ Reddick coming out saying that? You know,
he questioned the whole idea, what is even championship? You
(44:26):
don't even know what championship conditioning looks like? Well, I
mean he never won one, so you can't know what
one is.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
I just think maybe he watched you.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Maybe maybe he watched you with the Rockets, maybe he
watched you with the Lakers, maybe he watched youicks.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
By the way, Homie to JJ Redick's defense, he has
said before that when he was at Duke that Mike
Krzyzewski called him out because he was partying one offseason.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
And they ended up getting eliminated early.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
In the tournament, and Shryszewski called about and said, you're
not in shape, Like you're not. So maybe there's some
of that to where he goes, I went through that,
I learned my lesson, and I'm trying to pass called
him out after NCAA tournament loss. Yeah, aren't you too
far into the season to be getting called out for that? No,
(45:24):
it was after the season was over.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Yeah, But I'm saying, would you see that somewhere before
then and tell him you need to get your ass
in better shape and condition before we get to this tournament.
Like I look at the Lucas situation and I find
it to be kind of you're as a coach, you're compromised,
especially if it's something like that because you didn't have
(45:47):
him very long. That's amazing, you didn't have him very long,
and so how do you how do you justify whatever
it is that you're getting. You got to take what
you get, and you got to hope that the things
that made the trade worthwhile for you to do it
(46:08):
are shining through during those games. And he just I mean,
he didn't act out a character. You didn't see a
Luca that you didn't see in Dallas. So I don't
know why people are upset.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
What are you upset for?
Speaker 2 (46:23):
What are you calling that out for?
Speaker 4 (46:25):
Is there need to call that out to me that
you know that would lessen the relationship with me? You
calling it out in the media. I don't have a
problem with you saying I need to be in better shape.
I got a problem with you putting it out there
in the media because now you've basically let it be
made known that you're okay with put me out there,
(46:46):
because that was one of the things that people really
were very critical on Luca when he was in Dallas.
So you're basically going along with the narrative. If I'm Luca,
I'm looking at JJ Reddick like you could kick rocks.
I have no trust for you, and to be honest
with you, respect level was probably not very high either.
(47:08):
I don't respect that have you got something to say
to me about what I need to do, come to me.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah, but if your coach can't call you out, like
who can't? No, you can't.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
No, it's not that's I'm not saying you can't call
a player out. I'm saying why do it in the media.
There's one hundred different things that that JJ Reddick could
have said we could have played better. Did he say
I could have coached better?
Speaker 2 (47:32):
I don't recall.
Speaker 4 (47:33):
Were there any sound bites of jj Reddick saying that
I could have coached better? I know he said he
or got offended that. You know, they were asking him,
does he listen to his assistance on you know, trades
and matchups and stuff like that, and he's like, I.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Do listen to my assistance.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
Well, and then he walked off.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
I do know that he also said, you know, he
pointed out in one of the games, it might have
been after game four, something along the lines of paraphrasing here,
but they just didn't execute. We is code for we
gave them the right place, we gave them the right thing.
Speaker 4 (48:06):
Well, they just don't do it again. That further is
my point. That further is my point. You never want
to be Listen, a coach, a successful coach has to
have some type of ego, has to have some type of.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Kind of some narcissism in them. They got to have
a little bit of it.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
And whether people want to admit that or not, or
will you know, openly admit that a coach has to
have that, they have to have those elements. I don't
have a problem with that. The problem I have is
not it's not a problem for me. I'm not a
Lakers fan. But what the problem that I would have
if I was one of the players, or if I
was a fan, is that you're putting your newly acquired superstar,
(48:48):
which by the way, you're looking to be eventually the
face of your organization, the face of your team, and
you're putting him on blasts. Whether you meant to or
you didn't mean to, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
You didn't do.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
You didn't say anything that would would lead you to
believe that it was like, you know what, this was
a tough series. We're going to learn from it. There's
some things I could have done better. There's things that
we could have all done better. And that starts with me.
Let's figure this thing out in the off season. We're
going to come back better, and we're going to come
(49:22):
back ready to go next season. Like I believe in
these guys in our locker room.
Speaker 2 (49:27):
Let's hear it. Let's hear it, Let's hear it. This
was JJ evaluating himself.
Speaker 8 (49:33):
I'll use my own thoughts to evaluate myself, and I'll
use what my players say and what my coaching staff
says to evaluate. But you know, I know I can
be better and I know I will get better. I
don't necessarily take any satisfaction from how the year went.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
That's not to say I'm not.
Speaker 8 (49:55):
Proud of what the group was able to do and
how we're able to figure things out on the fly
and put ourselves in a position to have home court
in the first round. But there's always there's always ways
to get better, and I can. I can get a
lot better.
Speaker 4 (50:13):
I have a yeah, I don't have a problem that's
called So it's the biggest thing to me is self accountability.
So I'm glad that's you cute that up and played it,
because that's what's most important. Not calling out players, not
not throwing out divisive things, not not really you know,
being a person that that kind of you front streak me, like,
(50:37):
don't front streat me, you know, like protect the team.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
What if he were to finish with now, if I
could get luc at An put down the funnel Cake,
we could we could be pursuing a title. Funnel They
are good, Yeah, they are. Funnel cake is good.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
Strawberries and whipped cream, you know, also an ice vanilla
ice cream.
Speaker 5 (50:58):
You know who's got a.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Lot of got a lot of criticism. And we did
the shows together. And there's Joe Mazzoola got a lot
of criticism his first year.
Speaker 5 (51:06):
This was his first year.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
He had never coached before, he had never done it before,
redly to that level and and you would see big
differences in year two. So I would expect him. Much
like players, coaches are going to get better from year
over year. You just got to hope that the trust
is there. That's all. I would say.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
A lot of Boston Celtics talk, you know, well they're
still in it. Well they're in it. Someone someone that
invested interests, you know.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
Who LeVar yourself? Your c's Van bar No, you do.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Know is like an eighties front runner. I do know that, Okay,
I do know that.
Speaker 4 (51:40):
Yeah, the Chicago Bears lost Boston Celtics the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Yeah. I don't root. I analyze.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
That's what I do.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
There's no rooting. Interesting, it is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
Almost said something. I would have gotten dumbed for it.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
By the way, I gotta be honest with you, Brady
really held out on the F S R I R
because I know you went through it this weekend.
Speaker 3 (52:10):
I know you did, and you know, I mean, I'm
still under the weather. But no, this weekend was fine.
I didn't have any issues. Yeah, you know, one text
message to you and then you gotta you gotta put
it on blast now because I've been there. Unbelievable, unbelievable,
been there.
Speaker 2 (52:25):
We talk about this stuff.
Speaker 5 (52:26):
I've been there.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
It's awful.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
LeVar he all right. So we went out to dinner
with another family and and and we end up paying
for dinner with the other family. And so they reciprocated
by buying ice cream afterwards. And I told him, I
was like, I could not get out of that ice
cream store fast enough. I had to get home immediately.
(52:51):
I looked at my wife and she's like, why are
you hurrying us like, oh, bib, I need to go.
We need to go as soon as humanly possible. And
it was raining outside and so just everything took a
little bit longer, but fortunately it all worked out.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 4 (53:07):
I found myself in the same scenario and situation over
over some hot sausages that I didn't realize how hot
the sausages were and what happened.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
Oh it was.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
Yeah, bruh, yeah, bruh. I mean, dude, forty hits different.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
There are things when I was thirty nine I could
do different than when I'm forty. And now it's like
and so I and I know Jonahs has a dairy issue.
He always has, probably since he was, you know, four
years old, But boy, that hit different.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
Yeah, it's not so much of a dairy issue. There's
just certain things that decide. Yeah, those days are over, buddy,
Like it's not like it. I'm telling you.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
I mean, a little cereal happened.
Speaker 3 (53:52):
Full of full disclosure. One of the issues was I
thought I was going to share the milkshake with my wife,
which she didn't at all. After I when I initially
got it, she said she would and I'm too stingy
of a human being, and I hate wasting food. So
I was like, all right, now I feel like I'm
obligated to drink this whole thing even though I really
didn't want it and or needed, which led you obviously
(54:16):
again uh, the urgency to get back home as soon
as Paul. I mean, I'm not an away game guy.
I'm just I'm just not.
Speaker 2 (54:23):
Yeah, I'm not either.
Speaker 4 (54:24):
But but even that now is being you know, that's
that's become I'll be honest too, that's become more of
a debate too, start to be.
Speaker 3 (54:34):
And here's the issue is that ran through my head.
But when we initially walked in the bathrooms near the
front door and it smelled terrible, I was like, and
then I was thinking, like someone just absolutely blew this out,
Like I'm not going to follow that up. I mean,
this stench alone led me to not want to go
in there. But also I'm thinking of my head, like
by to use it. It's like everyone everyone in the
(54:55):
entire place to go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
That's the worst is when they think it's you.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
Oh damn. Meanwhile, all right, we get it, we get it. Sorry.
Speaker 5 (55:16):
Meanwhile, it's like, yes, so what what's wow?
Speaker 1 (55:20):
Right? Do that?
Speaker 5 (55:21):
In fact?
Speaker 2 (55:22):
I'm the person I made it smell like that. Yeah,
