it you two? Why is it just Brady and and Jonas? Here?
Where'sh Where's LeVar? Where's everybody else?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
The passion speech and the inquisition he made over. It
was Lee and Lorena yesterday. It's very very interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I mean, breed, do we still have the So this
is from yesterday, a very pep down version of what
happened between LeVar and Lee and Brady LaVar, Lee and Lorraine.
Excuse me. LaVar was very upset that Lee and Loraina
were taking today off because they were going to Canada,
going to Vancouver to be a part of the Ben
(01:41):
Mallor Meet and greet h So LaVar was very bothered
by that, and it went.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Like this, I have graduation today, right, I've had a
very very busy week. The twins are graduating high school today, right.
And I really was going to take off tomorrow, like
I was going to take the show off tomorrow going
to I was gone to. But now I think to myself, like,
I'm not gonna let you outwork me.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm not gonna let Jonas Knox outwork me. So I'm
gonna come in and work tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And I see Lorena in the hallway and I asked, Lorena,
you know how you doing? What's going on this weekend?
That she's out of town this weekend? Oh great, that's great, perfect,
We have a great time. How are you leaving us tomorrow?
You can't, you can't do the show and then go,
that's what I'm saying. So you're leaving today, you're randomly
off tomorrow. You're standing on that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I am off tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
No, No, that's not what I asked you, Lee. I
asked you.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Are you randomly off tomorrow the same day as Lorena?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I don't know what that means, but yes, I am
off tomorrow, and so's LeVar. So very interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I just I don't understand the passionate stance he took
in such a matter when I didn't care.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't think you cared.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I don't know that anyone cared whether or not Lee,
Lorena and LeVar took today off.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yet he's it's really passionate about it.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Listen, it is it is. You know, people take days off.
I mean, I got I got news for you. So
we're we're at summertime, You're going to like people are
going to take time off. Like there's that's the way
this goes. It goes every year because people realize once
football season comes around, NFL's king, College Football's king, you
can't miss those days. So like like, but he was
(03:28):
he was very fired up about it. It was just an
interesting turn of events that that he was not here.
So I hope that he's in Vancouver with them. That
would be the most appropriate.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So that would be awesome. If so, if.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You were at the Ben mallor meet and greet up
in Vancouver and you see LeVar with Lorraine and Lee, uh,
please send us over a clip. We want to make
sure there's no you know, pink substance involved or anything
like that in the clip. We don't want to step
on digs anybody here on the show, but if you
see them, please send us over some video evidence of that,
(04:01):
so that could be something. By the way, you got
a Brady Quinn, you got a little bit of a
home game going on there. We got the Memorial in
a world tournament.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
He got off to a pretty fast start yesterday, Ben
Griffin leading the pack. I think it was seven under,
which is pretty ridiculous all all things considered. It got
a little more difficult with the win later in the
day as guys like Scottie Scheffler came through. Who's the
defending champ. But a lot of rain today, completely different
day today. I'll be curious to see if they start
(04:31):
on time how that goes. But it's always a good time,
always fun to watch. Usually people go and they'll appreciate
the golfers to watch the.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Game of golf. They're just going to get hammered, like
they are going to get absolutely.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Drunk at this event. So it's a great time. It's
obviously good for the good for the town too.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Are you gonna take the family? Are you gonna I've
been this is a wagon and you know, and yeah,
the meat wagon will be there somewhere, probably posted up
at a bar.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's tough for the kids.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
It's actually great the kids getting free I think from
like fifteen years old or under, so you can bring them.
But much like I figured out when we went to
see Rob Stone at one of the bowling events, I mean,
you gotta be quiet. I mean, it's not like they're
trying to make this a rock concert. So I told
by three daughters, who are probably the only ones I take.
I mean our two year old. He'd be a disaster there.
(05:25):
But I was like, you guys gotta be quiet. Though
I was like, we'll get kicked out. They're like, what
do you mean. I'm like, there will be a man
that comes up and says, you guys need to leave
if you cannot keep it down and figure out a
way of playing the quiet game being quiet for like
two hours. I was like, and you're gonna have to
walk around, which they hate having to exert themselves anyway,
So there's probably a good chance that we end up
(05:48):
not taking them. But maybe I'll make my way out
there at some point.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
By the way, I was looking and I think there
might be an issue with my with my leader board
here because I was looking going up and I don't
see where's Rory McElroy. I don't see him on the
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
He's in Canada.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I think he might be in Vancouver, Lee and Lorena, yeah,
and LeVar might be in Vancouver together, all.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Right, So I don't know if the courses are like
up there, but maybe that's the fourth and that's going Lee, Lorena,
LeVar and Rory McRoy because he's not at what is
going on in uh. But at least he gave I'm
sure he gave Jack the heads up, right, I'm sure
he gave.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
The everybody that heads up.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I mean, look, I'm not sure that it was as
big of a deal as it was made to be
but you know, it is Jack Nicholas's tournament. They're actually
honoring it's the fiftieth year of the tournament and they're
honoring his wife, Barbara Nicholas. So a bunch of Nicholas
family actually came up for the event this year and
in her honor. So it's a pretty big year. And
you would have thought Rory, who's one of the faces.
(06:49):
If not, you know, maybe you'd say next to Scotti Scheffler,
the face of golf, you know, would call the greatest
of all time, to let him know he's not coming
to his tournament.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I think people have more of an issue on the outside.
I don't think Jack had an issue with it from
his statement, But you know, it's a signature event that
it's a twenty million dollar person. I think the winner
is going to take home like four million plus. So
it's odd that you wouldn't take the opportunity to play
an event like that, especially where I mean, look, I
was there last year volunteering.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That dude hits the ball onlike anything else. You know.
I think when you when you see people when they talk.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
About like Josh Allen or Mahomes, whether they throw the football,
or you know Paul Skins and the way he pitches.
There's just certain guys who are outliers. They're just so
much more supremely talented than everyone else. And that's what
Rory is in golf. If for people who've ever seen
him hit a golf ball, it's like you see pros
and other guys come through and they hit and you're like, oh,
(07:44):
that's really good, that that's incredible. Then you see him
hitting You're like, holy be like, I've never seen someone
do that. The way he hits the ball, and if
you watched him hit on the range, you'd say he
should win every single tournament he ever enters. But the issue,
I believe, at least the thought is that he doesn't
have to talk about the non conforming driver that he
(08:06):
ended up playing with and having to pull and change
what two events ago, whatever it was now and there's
a thought that maybe he was playing with a non
conventional driver and we're won the Masters and look the
truth of the mat and we kind of talked about
this on a grander scale in the with the PGA Tour,
they only test about fifty drivers and that's not the
entire field so Scotti Sheffier say, hey, look, they took
(08:28):
mine too.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Maybe they need to.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Know check everyone's driver, check everyone's clubs, And it would
make sense. I mean, like in most sports, I think
you're trying to check and make sure everything one's playing
within the same you know, rules and guidelines of everyone else,
and I think that's a fair way of doing it.
But for whatever reason, the PGA Tour hasn't implemented that.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So there's a thought that he's trying to avoid having
to answer the questions from the previous.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yes, because I think there's a thought when you're one
of six who've ever you know, accomplished the Grand Slam,
that you don't want there to be an asterisk next
next to your name saying, well, he could have won
it with the non conforming driver because there's the same
oney one you know, or you play with the next tournament,
right like, that would be the thought, and not to
dig deeper into it, but a lot of pros shave
the face of the driver because it helps create a
(09:11):
little more pop to it and all that. There are
some advantages to the way they go about constructing their clubs.
So if you check them all the time, it would
definitely cut down on some of the things I think
players do to their clubs to make the ball fly
as far and fly as straight as it does.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I don't know, it seems, you know, I think his
Master's win is safe. I don't know that anybody would
really judge him, But who knows.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I mean, I mean, that's the thing is Ultimately, you know,
is waiting another week or two. I mean, you're gonna
play eventually another major. Someone's gonna ask about it. It's
not like that's just going to be forgotten. It's not
like you're going on hiatus for like a couple of years.
Eventually someone's gonna ask you about it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
By the way, you mentioned Paul schemes for anybody who's
not actually taken the time to watch. First of all,
he pitches for the Pirates. They're awful. They're highlights this
year are Paul's scheme and a guy falling out of
the out of the stands in the outfield. I mean,
they're just a terrible team. But if anybody's never gotten
to see him pitch or seeing highlights of him, he
(10:11):
throws high nineties like it's nothing like everything the guy does,
like it just it looks totally effortless, and you watch
hitters and they're just perplexed, like why why is why
is he throwing ninety six? And why does it move
like that? Like and he can locate it and he can.
So that's to your point. When you see certain athletes,
(10:34):
you just sit back and marvel at how are you
able to do it? Because it looks so much more
difficult for everybody else. Paul Skeens is one of those
guys that you know, maybe nationally is it gets some attention.
But as for as much as everybody talks about listen
show Heyo Tani's, you know, must watch, Aaron Judge, must watch,
I mean, if you can stomach sitting through a Pirates
(10:55):
game once every five days. When Paul Skeen's is pitching,
he's phenomenal, Like he's really really fun to watch. So
it is a two pros and a cup of Joe
here on Fox Sports Radio. Now, we did mention the
NBA Eastern Conference Finals. You had the New York Knicks
get it done last night. By the way, the fact
that if you were to just because I know we were,
(11:17):
you know, poking fun and looking at the box score.
But if you were to just read off the numbers
of the starters for the Pacers, that game should have
been way worse than it was. Like if you just
went through the starting five of Indiana and Tyrese Haliburton's
numbers and all those guys, that should have been a
thirty point game. But ultimately the Knicks still get it done.
(11:38):
They forced a game six, And we did mention the
awkward exchange between Pascal Siakam and Greg Doyle who was
asking about, you know, just the performance and the effort
level and playing hard last night, And here was the
exchange following the game last night.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
How much r it was them?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I guess what did they do? Especially on the home
I'm there starting where you guys trying.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
To get older than Nah, they did played harder than us?
I think I think they played harder than us, you know,
loose balls like rebounds, like all that we got. We
gotta be able to win that that battle. What do
you mean, howscal can you can you make sense of
it for the other of us who don't play this
game at this level, like you know what was to
day and you're saying.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
They played hard when you guys, you find them hard enough.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How is that possible?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
How is it possible and not fight hard about in
games you're talking about they played harder than us. It's okay,
we played hard, but they played harder. What's what?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
What's your point?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I don't get it?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Like what interesting?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
You gotta go out the ball that.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Happens in the game doing that's basketball game. You're saying,
you're good, You're good. Brother, you're looking for something. I know,
but damn no, no, but I'm I'm I'm telling you
though I told you what else you want me to
tell you?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So that was Pascal Sea coming Greg Doyle, which again,
I mean, I I think it's tough for athletes because
after games.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It's it's a little simpler, and especially during a series
or during.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
The course of a season, you just want to move on.
Like there's there's some days where you didn't have your best.
There's some days where, yeah, the other team had more desire,
more fight, more effort that they put into the game.
And it felt a little bit like that last night.
It felt like it wasn't the PACER's night. But I mean,
it's also funny to me only because you talked about
some like the bench players you stepped up with that
game should have been a blowout, and it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
But there was like a still shot. I saw TJ.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
McConnell talking trash to some of the some of the
New York Knicks fans who were on the on the
on the court, like Ben Stiller and Timothy Shallomet who
was sitting right there. There's someone else whose name escapes me,
but you kind of looked back over it looked like
Ben Stiller was talking trash back to him.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So I was like, all right, this is good. I
like this.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I like the chippiness that's been going on between a
lot of the Knicks fans who've been traveling and sitting
courtside and McAfee obviously giving it.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
To him too, back when they're in Indianapolis.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Like, this has been a fun series for a lot
of the fandom that's been a part of it too.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And then you know, obviously they know the Reggie Miller,
the choke gesture, the all that stuff that's come along
with it. Yeah, it's it's been fun, a lot more
interesting and entertaining than what the Western Conference gave us,
which was the wife out there. But look, I don't
I mean, I don't think either guy did anything wrong there.
In that postgame, Siakam was like, yeah, they just played
(14:22):
harder than us, and Doyle's like, well, how's that possible
because he's trying to get an understanding and and Doyle's
had some some weird awkward moments before. But it's just
I think at this point, when you're doing the back
and forth and you're covering each each game is like
its own chapter, and it has nothing to do with
the next one. Like there's no like, there's gonna be
(14:44):
no momentum that's probably carried from that game into the next,
and once the game's over, the Pacers are like, all right,
we're gonna close that at home, like it is what.
It's just like, there's there's only so much you could
possibly say after each one of these games before you're
just doing the same thing again. We're just waiting for
the NBA Finals to start. So to me, that's a
wrap on that series.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And what about Edmondsonhow that's gonna be a hell of
a Stanley Cup.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Let me tell you something, all right, somebody was trying
to bust my balls because I said it was going
to be an all Canada final. It's sure It's not
all Canada, definitely not, but it is. It is half Canada.
And the last time we saw this happen, and I
believe it's only three times you've seen back to back
the same matchup in the Stanley Cup Final since nineteen eighty.
(15:31):
The last time was two thousand and eight. Two thousand
and nine. It was the Red Wings and the Penguins.
And I know that because the two thousand and nine matchup,
I went to the Igloo in Pittsburgh and saw Game
three and four of the Stanley Cup Final between the
Red Wings and the Penguins. And I'm calling my shot
right now. It's going to play out like that. Detroit
(15:53):
won the first year. Everyone was like, man is Sydney
Crosby ever going to get his Cup? And I'm telling
you right now, Edmonton's gonna win this year and Connor
McDavid's gonna finally hoist the coup. It's happening. So you
and Prisco can stick it in your go cat smoke it.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, you could sit your ass down. Okay, Florida's going
back to the Stanley Cup for the third straight year.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
All right.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
They have a roster that they've somehow improved upon based
on last year's team. They're deep and and and mind you,
this is not going to be like, oh, that's three
years in a row then they.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Just fall off a cliff.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
You look at their cap situation, the roster structure, they
could they could make a run at this thing for
the next two.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Three years, like we could be.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
We could be legitimately looking at the Panthers dominating.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Some of that depends on Bobrowski and how long he
wants to play, and if he does decide to hang
it up, you know who you got coming in at goal.
But this this has been so well put together by
Vinnie Viola their own I mean again, I lived there
in a period of time where I watched what partnership
looked like, and when he took over, he puts so
much money and effort resources guys like Matt Caldwell who
(16:56):
helps run it to just what they've done. I think
for the base, for the players, it's an entirely different
team and atmosphere than it was when I was first
down there going to Florida Panthers games. When they take
that T shirt gun and it would usually we would
place bets. I swear to God whenever the T shirt
gun would come out, we'd place bets and it was
(17:19):
usually two to one odds that it would hit a
seat as opposed to hitting an actual fan. That's how
limited the attendance was. Now you have to go through
Sawgrass Mills right, you drive west near the damn near
the Everglades. But they packed that place up. I don't
even know if it's amarant Bankering or whatever it's called now,
but they packed that place. They've got a spot they're
(17:40):
called the Panther Bar. It's flipping awesome and it is wild,
like those games are so much fun to go to now.
So all credit to the ownership too, and obviously the
players everyone else, but like the fan base now, it's
been fun. I mean, it really has been fun watching
that team grow and have the success that they've had.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Dead even on draftking to see the series. So it
should be a good one. It'd be a great one.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So Edmonton Florida Volume two we're gonna get this year.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
All those Toronto transplants that are down there at Floria.
We may chiming in rooting for Canada probably.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Mother how far away sunrise from like South Beach, Miami
and all those places.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh, that's a hike.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
That's probably, I mean you have to get out on
the turnpike and the head north. It's probably I don't know,
fifty minutes, sixty minutes to an hour, depend.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
On traffic, mayly more. Damn.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, it's a little bit of southeach. It's more of
a Fort Lauderdale crowd that would just be driving directly west.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Pretty much.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Interesting. Well, listen, it is a two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. No LaVar Arrington,
we repeat, no LaVar Arrington on the show today. No
Lee de Lap, no Loraina. But it is Brady and I.
We've got Mary Mack, We've got Brie putting this whole
thing together here on this three hour extrapaganza coming up
next here. Though, somebody's got an idea. They've got an idea.
(18:59):
There's a lot of debate, a lot of conversation about
who should get the opportunity, who should get the opportunity,
Should it be the NFL or the other guys. Somebody's
got an idea to solve it all. You'll hear from
him right here on FSR.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Be sure to catch live editions of two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It is two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio. Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you
here by the way, coming up a little over fifteen
minutes from now. Who needs Lee? We don't. We got Brie.
So we are going to have Breeze leftovers here, and
I've got a funny feeling they won't involve stealing content
from somebody else and passing it off like it's theirs,
(19:49):
like Lee likes to do from time to time.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I wonderfully involve drinking, though, because it's a common thing
for Lee.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
So I don't know. I've remember, by the way, Bria,
I've never seen you butchered before. Have you ever gotten
one's last? He got hammered.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
I was with Monsey and I think it was a
week and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh okay, well that makes sense.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Yeah, there were shots involved.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, she's uh, that's usually the case. Although for Lee again,
he's he's a shot in a beer guys like the wire. Yeah,
he walks in and it's a shot in a beer,
and that's how he starts his drinking.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
My favorite is when he explains it away, well, you
gotta have a shot and a beer. No, not really, No,
you actually don't. You actually don't have to have either,
to be honest with you. But he's, well, you just
kind of you already committed at that point. Well, okay,
most people aren't, but he operates differently. So Breeze leftovers
will be yours here coming up in a little over
fifteen minutes from now. So the debate ragees on who's
(20:41):
going to be involved when it comes to the flag
football in the Olympics. Patrick Mahomes said, hey, listen, I'm
going to leave that to the younger guys. You know,
I'll be a little bit older by the time that
comes around. Jason Kelsey was on the New Heights podcast
and he had an idea what it came to selecting
the team. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
I think a coach that is familiar with flag football
should select an NFL represented team and that team should
just play this flag football team that's been playing for
a long time and feels like they are the best
at it. And they don't need other guys.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
And then whoever wins this is like a mystery. Alaska's
pretty much.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Because I agree, like I do agree, if these guys
are the best, they should represent USA.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
So it's a it's a fair statement.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I think in reality, it's kind of the easy thing
to say what they should have as a qualifying and
if the NFL players want to go, they should be
able to go and qualify, or if the NFL wants
to put together a team. There's a couple of things though,
like you're kind of putting yourself at risk. It's almost
like that big school, that blue blood, trying to play
a team that's a FCS team. You know, it's like
(21:52):
it's all upside for the FCS team, but more often
than not, you'd expect the blue Blood to pound the
crap out of them and go ahead and say take
our million dollars and go back to where.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You came from.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
So there's a bit of a risk there, I think
for the NFL if they put together a team and
this other team beat them, but I think they feel
like their athletes are far superior. The question becomes, you
know the training involved, you know, could you get the
NFL players to take it seriously. There's a number of
things you can do in flag football in regards to
like tricks and different plays and things that are very different.
(22:26):
I remember people talking about the transition from Canadian football
to the NFL and everyone assumes, like, oh, no, it's
like the exact same. It's like, well, not really. There's
a twelve player, the field dimensions are a lot different.
It's much wider and longer in Canada. There is you know,
forward motion and all those things that make it a
little more easier for guys to get open.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
It makes a harder on defensive backs.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
There's a lot of things that change, even the down
and distance, how they go about looking at first down
and second down versus the NFL. So there's there's they
seem like subtle differences, but oftentimes they can make a
huge difference in how guys play the game and how
successful guys are at adapting and playing that game.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And I don't know if it's because it's three years out,
I don't think there's as many NFL players that are
clamoring for the opportunity to do this as maybe some
people might think. Like AJ Brown spoke, he said, like listen, man,
I'm getting ready for the season. Mahomes like yeah, whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Like so that's where the bread's buttered.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
But I think what you're underestimating is once you see
how a lot of these Olympic athletes make money and
in marketing, because the majority of them, that's how they've
made their money. It hasn't been from the success of
winning a gold medal. You get paid for it, but
not that much. You make all your money from endorsements
and marketing.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
So to me, there's a.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Thought that yes, you're an NFL player, maybe a star,
but if you could add that Olympic you know, brand
or title to your brand and be a part of
that or that kind of co branding if you will,
that's huge in regards to marketing dollars. And it also
opens you up to a much wider array of fans.
There's some people are just Olympic fans. They geek out
(24:10):
about it. Right, we don't have football on it, so
they might not be football fans. They're just big Olympic
fans and they've they've you know, you go to all
the different Olympics and they travel around the world and
enjoy it like that.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Like there's people who just geek out on that stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I don't want to say this and have it come
off as disrespectful, but this, like this flag football, Olympics
or not, feels beneath the NFL. It just does like
it just like it doesn't. It's not the NFL. It's
it's the NFL minus all the stuff that makes the
(24:42):
NFL the NFL.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
And so would you feel that way if it was
tackle like American tackle football.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
No, if it was if it was tackle football, let's
go like that, then then it's a better representative of
But this is like when I wonder if.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
They had better officiating in the Olympics anything.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
So I don't what if they Okay, what if what
if they had it?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Then?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Also the Olympics are like, no, we're going to implement
replay on everything. We're gonna have officials, And we're like, oh,
maybe the NFL should think about doing this too.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Boy boy, they do it a lot better than them.
And they've done this one time. It makes it makes
all the sense.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Of the work.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Because but that was, wasn't it the ten minute quarters
that they were doing in the Olympic basketball And some
people looked at that and said, uh, you know, this
is maybe this is a better idea than what the
NBA is doing. I just it feels like a completely
different sport. Like Jared Allen, remember when he tried he
was going to try out for the curling team in
the Olympics. He's like, I could go do the curling team. Like,
(25:37):
I'd have more respect if Patrick Mahomes came out and said, listen,
I'm not interested in playing flag football, but I'll beat
anybody in the world at cornhole, I'd respect it more
because it's it's basically the same thing. It's not it's
not the NFL. It's not anything close to the NFL.
This guy, Darryl Ducett, who we talked about earlier this week,
(25:57):
I did. I did find it entertaining that he says
he's better than Patrick Mahomes, that he is, that he's
better than Mahomes when it comes to all this. So
I know you were talking about his throwing motion.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, I mean I think my next door neighbor throws
a better ball. I'm honest.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I mean, my next door neighbor, Joe throws much better football.
And by the way, but again, there's more that goes
into playing flag football. He's elusive, he runs around, you
know in some of these cases, like some of these
guys have to play both ways, which I don't know
if there's a roster limit.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
There's a lot of questions I have.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
And again I haven't looked into it because it's not
really it's not real football, you know, if it's just
something you play in gym class. So again, I have
no idea how it became an Olympic sport. Like I'm
looking at like, all right, did the USA push this,
like were we pushing that hard? Or was like the
rest of the world, Like what other country went to
the Olympic Committee or the International Olympic Committee IOC and said, hey,
(26:51):
we need flag football to be a part of this.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
It's huge in Italy right now.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Were the Italians are really pushing for for Yeah, they're
pushing for baking and they're pushing for you know, flag football.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Well you got flag football, and okay, how you doing?
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
It seems odd that like it had this big wave
behind it, Like why wouldn't it just be American football
if you really want to do it?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
All right, So I look this up. The LA twenty
eight Olympics. Man, that'll be a good time. I'm sure
they'll get everything cleaned up for that and then it'll
go back to normal afterwards. But the LA twenty eight
Olympics will feature new and returning sports, the debut of
flag football and squash, the return of baseball, softball, cricket,
(27:33):
I love that, by the ways, cricket, cricket, and lacrosse resting.
In addition, new swing events like the fifty meter backstroke,
the breaststroke, and the butterfly will be added, along with
mixed gender events in gymnastics and track and field.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
So look, I mean, there's a joke there to be had,
but I'm not going to say, don't worry.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Everybody have the Olympics for that, yeah going on around.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I just I mean, I don't know there's And we
were making the point earlier this week audition. By the way,
three on three basketball has increased to twelve teams per gender.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I wait to watch that.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Sport climbing, artistic gymnastics.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
What's sport climbing? Is that?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Right?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I don't know, Well, can you look that up? What
sport climbing is? Because apparently that's an Olympic event that'll
be coming and then you know, lacrosse bringing it back
for the first time since nineteen oh eight. It hasn't
been around what, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Was gonna say.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I thought when you were mentioning these, I was like, oh,
was lacrosse is the first time because I don't ever
remember making part of the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
But that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
The cricket returning to the program for the first time
since nineteen hundred, so.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Apparently, I mean, I don't think we're gonna win that one.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, that's that's a long shot. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
India is probably the favorite of that one.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yes, something tells me, yeah, the new Dell Devil's uh b.
What is sport climbing do you have?
Speaker 7 (29:02):
It's like a discipline of like bouldering and lead climbing,
so they're bouldering while they're rock climbing at the same time.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Like ignorant to all this, what is bouldering.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
Bouldering is a type of rock climbing that you're you're
grabbing different boulders while.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You're rushing bulging or bouldering bulging.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
No, something that a lot of people are like probably
singing right now in the gym, that is that is
a fair point as they're listening to us, and just
so I'm clear, because I could definitely.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Make the corn hole team for sure. No, but I
don't see it here.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
You couldn't, all right.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
I just there's little I've watched you try to do
certain athletic things that just I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I don't think you got it.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I want you to listen to me.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
There.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
There's nobody you've ever walked by in your life. Nobody
you've ever seen in a barbecue, Nobody you've ever encountered
there in Ohio that could even touch me when it
comes to a corn hole board.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Nobody. All right, all right, nobody.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I think if most people saw you walk they would
be unless they've got an oil can somewhere to help,
like loosen this guy up. He's not going to be
able to throw it a bean bag or whatever the
hell that thinks.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Stop, by the way, that's insulting. Not as insulting as
Mark who says you should change the name of the
show to one pro and a vampire. I don't know,
Maybe I don't know what it's like. You guys have
spun this narrative that I have no color like that,
there is no you.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
You do look translucent at times. You definitely look like
you should be taking a vitamin D supplement because you
do not see the sun very I would not. I
would not compare you, though, to a vampire. I've always
told you you look like the dude from Hunger Games
or I think Wes Bentley is the actor's name from Yellowstone.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Not not that character though, more.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
The character that he was in the Hunger Games. Okay,
I mean that that's who you look like.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
By the way, did Kevin Costner like get kicked off Yellowstone?
Is that what happened? Something happened, There was some sort
of a fallout and he got a They told him
to take a walk, Like.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Dude, We had a fourth kid, and all those shows
that I used to love watching became shows that would
fall asleep.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Within the first five minutes.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Well, yeah, it's all like it just I put my
head down, I started watching something with the wife, and
then it just we're both passed out.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
When we wake up later on, I'm like, this is pointless.
I mean, just the whole thing's pointless. Yeah, we did
a last movie. We took our son too. We took
him and his cousins to Paddington in Peru. Just brutal,
and it's middle of the day and within thirty to
forty five minutes, I'm dozing off. Dark theater. Bad movie,
(31:48):
it's over, it's not happening.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Some would call that painful, and but for me, if
you're dealing with pain like that, you got to find
the right mattress because a movie theater is not going
to do it for you. Because the right mattress makes
all the difference. And that's why Mattress for Sleep experts.
They'll help you find the perfect bed for your unique needs. Jonas,
No more sleeping at the movie theater. Go to mattress Firm.
Take advantage of them a more day sale so you
can sleep at night.

can no longer tell the tale.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
We used to.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I don't know if brief Bride doesn't know this that
I don't think Mary Mack does. We used to tell
Jonah's Happy Birthday like every day because he would never
tell us his birthday. We would never remember it, and
then he would remind us at the end of a show,
today was my birthday.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
We're like, oh, sorry, man, and then the show would end.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
So we finally got I probably put in my calendar,
so I actually remember from that.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
You know, it was an all time room. We were
doing the Sunday Night Show and Live bet Jesus came
on and you were like, dude, what event are you calling?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
What?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Like?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
What event is Live bet Jesus is going to be
making a prediction on And I opened up the paper
right as the show was going off the air and said,
I predict that Brady Quinn and Steve Disaga will both
forget Jonas's birthday again. And then we went right to
and he got it right, because you guys.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Did forget it got right.
Speaker 2 (37:59):

But well, we hope you have a wonderful happy birthday,
appreciate heavy lifting that you do during the show.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
And I know you don't want to make it about you.

do want to show our appreciation for you and even
the people who say the mean stuff that you end
up retweeting on Saturdays. I know you find it entertaining,
but those people love you too. I think they just
