Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up on
this Monday edition, we are going to look back at
the best on the planet who delivered yet again this weekend,
Scottie Scheffler. But he's not like your typical golfer. We've
got the proof. We're also going to have a conversation
about Las Vegas. Boy, have things changed in Vegas? And
(00:24):
Manny Pacyaw is back details on that event and that
situation and scene over the course of the weekend, because
of course there would be more complaints also, some potential
complaints about a swollen uvula Southwest Airlines and trying to
board a flight. Why that doesn't make any sense? The NFL,
Lloyd Howel, JC Tretder, Strip Clubs, Conference Rooms, Twtsi's Cabaret,
(00:48):
Magic City. We've got WNBA players complaining, We've got an
FSR IR. We've also got Albert Bell threatening kids over
a Halloween prank. And we've got another edition of Lee's
Left Dovers. It's all yours coming up next here, Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe On a Monday, Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, it is two.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Pros and a cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio. Brady Quinn,
Gionas Knox with you here, No LeVar Arrington. Finally we
can do a good show.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh wow, about time the gloves are off, went out
the gate.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Huh uh.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No, LeVar will be back next week little Vaka for
Old Stick City. So enjoy the time off and it
will be Brady Quinn and I taking you all the
way up here today and all throughout the week until
nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific. You can find

on hundreds of affiliates all across the country and listen.
(02:07):
If you are listening to the iHeartRadio app and you
are listening in Europe and all over the world, congratulations
because somebody from here went over and took from there.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Big win yesterday for Scotti Scheffler, raising the American flag
and representing the country proud and putting on a show
yet again. The greatest golfer on the planet performs yet again.
Seventeen under guy finished seventeen under par So. Scotti Scheffler
is your Can we call it the British Open just
(02:41):
to be a pain in the ass of all.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
We call it the British Open. I think everyone else
is the one that calls it the Open. I mean,
it is the oldest major, so there is something to that.
But the run that he's been on the past two
years is incredible. I think he's been the number one
player now for one hundred and fourteen weeks, like we
were watching a run similar to some of the all
time greats that I will caution this. People have been,
(03:04):
you know, putting out there all these stats comparing him
to Tiger. Okay, so twenty twenty two to twenty twenty five,
which is the run Scotty's been on. He plays, He's
played in eighty one events, he's one to twenty. He's
got four majors and two players championships. Okay, Tiger from
two thousand and two to two thousand and five, seventy
nine events, eighteen wins, four majors, zero Players championships. So
(03:27):
you're like, oh, okay, it's kind of similar to Tiger, right,
so maybe some of this is warranted. Then you go
back three years before that, for Tiger from ninety nine
to two thousand and two, seventy eight events, twenty seven wins,
seven Majors one players. So I will say what Scotty's
doing is in sports right now. I would argue he's
(03:51):
the most dominant player where he feels like the sun
coming up tomorrow, where if he is in a lead
going into the final round, it is inevitable. And that's
what you hear them talk about that he's going to win,
and he's not going to win, he might beat the
brakes off the rest of the field. And that's how
it kind of felt, even though NBC did their best
to pump up Ry McElroy all they could. Was I
(04:13):
the only one who felt that way watching it?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh it's I mean, we've got okay, did you hear
this was courtesy? Do we know the credit on this?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
On this all?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Right? So this was we're going to try and get
the credit. So if you are listening overseas and you're
a big fan of this show, understand that we will
get the credit as soon as we have the proper
credit to give. But this was the British version of
Rory McElroy over the weekend. And you tell me if
there was a rooting interest here from that side of
(04:45):
the world. This is for eagle three.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
It's on its way.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Come on, Rory, Come on, Rory, keep going, keep going,
keep going.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Let's go, it's coming over the ridge.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Go on and again and again.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yes, bounce f Rory McElroy eagle on the twelve.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's like like hearing me root for my kid, like
it at mini golf, Like, what are we doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be impartial? Aren't you supposed to
just call it as it is instead of openly rooting
and pulling for somebody to win in these events. I mean,
I don't know golf etiquette as well as you do,
but I would assume as a broadcaster, that's the etiquette
(05:25):
you should have.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So there's a couple of thoughts.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
The first is, yes, you're supposed to be unbiased. You're
supposed to kind of follow the way the tournament or
the game is going, and that's what you're supposed to
highlight and talk about. However, this was somewhat unique. There's
not many tournaments that are played in Northern Ireland. Royal
Poor Rush is not the home course for Roy mcroy's
home course I think was like Hollywood Golf Club, but
(05:51):
it was one where you know, he's they're trying to
hype him up. The crowd was there for him, rooting,
had a strong rooting interest. And I'm sure if you
there and you feel the crowd is constantly pulling for Rory,
is following Rory, and he's got the you know, the
bulk of the crowd, there's gonna be elements that you
need to play into on TV. But I think this
(06:12):
was more of a what other storyline do we have?
Like we've got Scotty Scheffler who's dominating the sport. Everyone's
heard about it, talked about it, you know, after his
press earlier in the week where he kind of downplayed
the success, downplayed the Pinnacle moments, and he talked a
little bit about that after he won.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
But when you have a player like that who.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Doesn't want to lean into it, and Jordan Smith even
talked about this a little bit, that he's not trying to,
you know, change the game like Tiger did.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Like he's just coming.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There to win and he's going home with his family,
like that's that's all he cares about. I think from
that perspective, it makes it tough for TV to really,
you know, gravitate towards a guy who's not trying to
lean into everything they're trying to do to continue to
build the game. And I'm not saying that Scotty Scheffer's
not building the game. I think he's doing it in
his own way. But I guess is contemporaries like those
(07:09):
guys don't feel like he is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean, look, he's not. Tiger Woods was his own world,
like his own universe, and that's why you could argue
who's the greatest golfer of all time? If you were
around watching golfer, watching sports when Tiger was in his prime,
that's Jordan. Like we're taking that, that's rarefied air that
(07:32):
we will not see. And yesh, Scotti Scheffler's you know,
doesn't have all that and probably doesn't even want that.
But what's wrong with that? Like, I don't think I
don't think it diminishes what he's done for the sport.
He just doesn't have the interest or maybe the thought that, yeah,
I want to go out and I want to build
and promote and be this revolutionary being at this at
(07:56):
this level representing the sport on a global grand scale.
And Scotti Scheffler even talked because people took that quote
that you mentioned where he just kind of said, hey, listen,
it's cool, but these moments are fleeting, and he just
it wasn't as overwhelmed by everything, and it didn't it
didn't run his world and run his life the way
that the way that he a lot of athletes maybe
(08:17):
let them get to at that point. And we talked
about this where Kevin Durant Aaron Rodgers said the same thing.
They finally won a championship and they were like, is
that it?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Like?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Is that it? And so Scheffler afterwards yesterday was again
asked about those comments and of course had to clarify
his statements.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I think we live now in a day and age
of where, you know, clickbait is kind of what people
look for and you can shorten a five minute clip
into you know, three words. I think really underestimates what
I was trying to communicate. You know, maybe I didn't
do as effective a job of what I would have
hoped to in communicating that, but you know, at the
end of the day, I have a tremendous amount of
gratitude towards moments like these. You know, I've literally worked
(08:55):
my entire life to become somewhat good at this game,
to be able to play this game for a living,
and it's one of the great joys of my life.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Being able to compete out here and.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
To be able to win the Open Championship here at
Port Rush is a feeling that's really hard to describe.
You know, if somebody's going to listen to the comments
I had this week, I would encourage them to listen
to all of it, and hopefully I did a good
job of communicating that, yeah, this is amazing to win
the Open Championship, But at the end of the day,
having success in life, whether it be in golf or
work or whatever it is, that's not what fulfills the
(09:25):
deepest desires of your heart. Am I grateful for it?
Do I enjoy it?
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (09:27):
My gosh, Yeah, this is a cool feeling. I can't
wait to get home and celebrate this, this championship, you know,
with the people that have kind of helped me along
the way. But at the end of the day, it
doesn't fulfill the deepest desires in my heart. And uh,
but it's just it's just tough to describe when you
when you when you haven't lived it, you know, something
I actually talked to Shane about this week was, you know,
(09:50):
just because you win a golf tournament, accomplished somement, that
doesn't make you happy.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It doesn't maybe for a few.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Moments, maybe for a few days, but at the end
of the day that you know there's more to life
than playing golf. But you know, I'm pretty excited to
go home and celebrate.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
This one works for me. He's not wrapped up in it.
He's got a life. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Can I make it a comparison of Scotti Scheffler to
someone else in the radio world, I would say Scottie
Scheffler's perspective most closely aligns with you if you actually
look at if you look at just how you go
about and associate yourself with radio and kind of that
(10:30):
disconnect where you know, you've got a family, you also
have a son, one in which that you know, from
time to time in the big moments, we get to
see you and your son, but that's really it. And
then you guys go off and you go home, or
you go off and you do your own thing. Very
similar to Scotty Scheffler. You know, you guys like to
keep the radio world in which you dominate in its
(10:52):
own space. Meanwhile, the whole family life and everything else
is a completely different, compartmentalized part of your life. So
I would say the closest thing in the radio world
to Scotty Scheffler is one Jonas Knox.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Hey, I'll take it, and that is one hundred percent
spot on and correct. Maybe that's why I can what
he says resonates with me, because I don't there are
two different things the second you get home. And I've
heard athletes talk about this to where if you win
a game, or you lose a game, or you win
a fight or lose a fighter, whatever it is that
you do in competition, when you get home to your family,
(11:28):
they don't care about any of that. None of that matters.
When I get home to my son, he doesn't care
what my best take the day was. What he wants
to know is, Hey, when are we going to play baseball?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Can I get this monster truck? Like he doesn't care
about any of that stuff, So I yeah, maybe there
is a little something to that. Although what Scotti Scheffler
is doing at his level from a radio standpoint, I'm
nowhere close, and I do wonder what is the gap
between him and the next best player, because we've talked
about that in the NFL, where hey, if Aaron Donald
is the best interior defensive lineman, what's the gap between
(12:03):
him and the next best? And as of right now,
who's even close to Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It's it's tough to figure out who exactly that person
would be because you think it back to Tiger and
I always wonder, hey, what would Phil Mickelson's career had
been like had Tiger not been around? You know, we're
probably talking about it a little bit different. You know,
maybe he still lives for the Live tour, but it
leaves for the Lived tour. Maybe he doesn't. But there's
there's a lot of those guys that you say, man,
I wonder what their career would have been had they not,
(12:33):
you know, had that Tiger Woods that was in the way.
A guy who is an anomaly and just that much
better than everyone else. I'm not sure if you throw
in like Xander Shoftley, I'm not sure who you would,
you know, throw in there, because he's just he's been
so dominant.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Now, I do want to go back.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
To Rory and I've got a conspiracy theory on this
all right, So I don't know if we've got any
music or if it's possible to maybe bring back some
rob at stack.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
He's here straight off the course of Royal Troon.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I mean, we heard the clip from a few moments
ago where it it felt over the top from NBC
and for anyone who watched in particular on Saturday, because
Rory shot one of his better rounds. I believe it
was Saturday at least, and it wasn't even the best
round of the day, but everyone was acting like it was.
I think Russell Henley actually shot the lowest round, but they're.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Hyping him up.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
O R He's gonna make it r Oh my god,
I mean this whole thing it was just so over
the top, and I was thinking to myself, was it
earlier in the week we saw another note about Rory
McRoy turning down eight hundred and fifty million to go
to live to her?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Was it earlier this past week or maybe two weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I think so, And it was. It was eight hundred
and fifty million.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Eight hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
And it it feels like every single time that there's
an issue for right, we had. We had the whole
debacle of the non conforming driver, which came out. Scottie
Scheffler acknowledged it and said, hey, they took my driver too.
In fact, if we're going to do this, why don't
we do it to everyone? You know, why are we
(14:14):
only doing this for a third of the players that
are in the tournament? Why doesn't everyone have their clubs?
You know, looked at our drivers, looked at and Yer
was upset because it happened to get out and it
made him look look kind of bad, right because he
had won it. He finally got the last major he
was looking for. And now people are saying, all right, well,
(14:35):
was because he was using a non performing driver. Well
then we didn't see him for a couple of weeks,
so you had that whole issue. Then we stopped singing
him more and more, talking to the media and saying, hey,
we're not obligated too. I was doing this on my
own account. But he didn't like how that got out
about the non conforming driver. He didn't feel like people
had his back after years of defending the PGA tour,
(14:56):
after years of not going to the live tour, and
this was in my opinion, really the next big tournament
moment they've kind of had since all of that, all
that fallout, and it's just it's not surprising to me
that you hear about him going, oh, he turned it down.
He's been turning down live tour offers forever, so either
(15:16):
he's putting it out there because he wants to keep
reminding people, Hey, I've been one of the guys who
stayed loyal. I've been one of the guys who's been
upholding the PGA Tour while the live tours try to
come in and pillage us. And I think a lot
of the broadcast and media partners have been asked to
talk as favorably as possible about him. It was a
(15:39):
natural storyline for the British Open, given that was in
Northern Ireland at Royal Point Rush. But I do think
that there is a concentrated effort by all parties involved
in the PGA Tour of trying to make Rory happy
because of how everything has gone over the past couple
of years, and even though he's had his moment and
(16:00):
he hasn't been quite as successful as I think he
probably would like to be, his team would like him
to be, and maybe a lot of people out there
thought he would.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Be I buy it. By the way, apologies I called
it Royal troon on accident. My apologies didn't mean to
confuse that with with port Rush. But yeah, it makes
sense because he has really been the most vocal about
supporting the PGA Tour as opposed to live golf, like
if you think about it, more so than Tiger, more
so than anybody. And so there may be uh there
(16:29):
make good to him in response to this, with with
these reports continuing to come out of at the live tour,
could be that I buy it. That makes sense. He
did disappear for a little bit, and he didn't seem
all that pleased about you know, the testing of the
clubs and and all that that went on, and and
Scottie Scheffler was just like, hey, I mean is what
(16:50):
it is? But that was that was a fantastic performance
for Scotty Scheffler. And do you think he's like Joker
where he lets his horses play with hiss when they
get home and just kind of says that I underneaed this,
this is just a toy At this point.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I don't know. I hope he's really boring.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I actually love the fact that he just seems like
a really good, normal guy. You know, he wins it,
he looks immediately for his wife and son. You know,
he's standing with them, hugging with them. You know, his
dad comes up and he's like, I have no words.
I mean, he's he's on such a run right now
the past couple of years that I imagine now as
a father watching a child do something like this, the
(17:29):
pinnacle of that sport. And he's talked about how hard
he's worked to get here and at being here, especially
with the early struggles and some of the changes that
he made. But you look at it and you just go, yeah,
I'm speechless too, I think. I mean, even after he won,
the broadcasters were speechless.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
He said it. They're like, what do you say?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I mean, what do you say at this point when
it feels like it's an inevitable every single time he
steps up on a big stage, if he's not winning it,
he's right there in the mix, and you better hope
he doesn't have that lead going into Sunday was.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Bryson de Shamba? Did I see this correctly? He was
tied for one hundred and forty fourth At one point
and finished tenth. I think he was like tied for
tenth at.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
One point, I came all the way back.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
That's like under the radar, like really impressive was what was.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Impressive was And this is one of the things that
I've appreciated about his like transition from being one of the
more hated players in golf to one of the most likable.
Now the putt he hit, I think he ended up
finishing out like ten under or something. The putt he
hit though on eighteen on the final day, he gave
like the biggest fist pump and like bro hug to
a scatty and he just he embraces it, like he's
(18:38):
one of those guys who.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Like fully embraces where it's at.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I think that's the only knock that you're gonna hear
on Scotti Scheffler in the runnings on right now, is
he's not playing Bryson d.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Chambeau every week.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
You know, he's not playing you know, Tyrrell Hadden or
whoever else do you want to say that's on the
live tour that you could say it would be a
you know, quality golfer because we only see him the majors.
And even though Scott he's dominating when he plays in
the majors. He's not playing those guys on a weekly basis,
So that is the other caveat to like looking at
Scotty Scheffler's run when in comparing it to Tiger, it's
(19:11):
a little bit too like the Lebron Jordan debate, where
people kind of forget just how dominant good Jordan was
in an era where different brand of basketball, so many
stars that he went through in the East too, just
to be able to get to a championship as compared
to how bad the East was during Lebron's career, and
even though he made it to all these NBA finals, you're like, Okay,
(19:32):
that was a much easier path than what Jordan had
to deal with. Kind Of similar too with Scheffler, it
hasn't been the most difficult path path. And maybe why
Jack Nicholas sel what he said after Memorial Tournament this year,
you know, just kind of talking about some of the
guys who are in competition that he had a feeling
they were going to fold in the end when they
were going up against Scotty Scheffler.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Maybe maybe maybe that team should be filled in on
the uh the right, Dan Nix works for CBS. Interesting,
That's that's that's very noteworthy.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Well, listen, congratulations to NBC and to uh the people
behind the scenes here. Phenomenal work.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
So speaking of the credit, Uh, you got to talk
to me about this past weekend because you got to
go to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Uh, that is correct. There was a big fight this weekend,
all right. So there was actually a couple of big
It was kind of an obscure with NFL not here yet.
It was kind of an obscure weekend because you had
major events. You obviously had the Open Championship, you had
a big time UFC event, but in Vegas specifically, there
(24:18):
was the return of Manny Paciow, who hasn't fought since
twenty twenty one. He's been retired. He's fought a couple
of exhibitions, but nothing serious. And he decided to come
out of retirement at forty six years old and fight
this guy, Mario Barrios, who's a world champion. And I
all full disclosure. I got there thinking, you know, maybe
(24:40):
some people would be real interested in this thing, but
you know not that there were Pacquiao fans everywhere. He
is beloved, and just getting to be there at MGM,
getting to just to see the presentation of him and
the way that he was celebrated. I mean, we talk
about Scotti, Scheffler, Tiger Woods, Pakia is one of those
(25:01):
all time grades. So it was a fun event. Of course,
it was a bad decision because it's boxing. That's just
what boxing does. People were bitching about the decision. They
thought Pacquiao got screwed. He was almost a two to
one underdog in some places going into the fight. I
bet on many Paki, how I want to say that,
So if anybody should be upset about it, I should
be upset.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well the problem is, yeah, the problem is it was
a majority draw, so nobody won. But if somebody did win,
if we're being honest about it, it was Paqiao and
they gave it a majority draw. And so who knows.
Movie this sets up a rematch, which is probably, you know,
potentially in the works. Many Patio was talking about Floyd Mayweather.
(25:43):
But it was a fun event. And I'll say this,
I realized my body at this point cannot be around
cigarette smoke. Can't happen. You don't realize until you get
around it again how much it affects you. My uvula
is swollen, all right. You know that little uh, that
little punching bag hanging down the back of your throat,
(26:05):
Your uvula, that's all swollen. Every time I'm in Vegas
around cigarette smoke, my uvula swells up, and it's a problem.
And so I'm dealing with that just based on the
fact that I was around cigarette smoke from time to time.
I would say this park MGM smoking free, no smoking
at Park MGM, a fine establishment, but nonetheless is still
(26:29):
a pretty good time out there in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
So that might have been the most weeny thing I've
heard you say in a long time.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You've never had a swollen uvula before, No, a.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Lot I did.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
It's because I was sick. I'm not going to ploym
it on cigarette smoke. Well, a lot of you chose
hold on. You chose to go out to Las Vegas.
You knew the environment that you'd be entering into. I
didn't know this is this was all your decision. You
can't complain about that like that. It's borderlines hypocrisy because
of the way you're handling this. We go back to
(27:01):
the first question that really should be asked. Yeah, why
the hell is many Pacchio fighting at this stage.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
In his life.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, I'm assuming he takes care of a lot of people.
And one of the things with Manny is that because
he takes care of a lot of people, he needs
those paychecks so much so that the last few fights
of his career reportedly or the last few fights of
you know, previously before he retired, he was asking for
advancements before the fight because of how many people he
(27:31):
takes care of. I mean, he's like a whole entourage of.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
How much would you guess his career earnings were from boxing?
This isn't even sponsorships either, it's just career earnings.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Oh, just from boxing? Four hundred million.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Five hundred and seventy five million in career earnings from boxing.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I mean, it's expensive in the Philippines. Man, I don't
have to tell you.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I've got some buddies who'd argue otherwise.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Let me let me just say this, our boxers the
most poorly managed of all professional athletes in regards to
their money. And I mean, I know the lifestyle in and
of itself is kind of wild, but it feels like
that is one sport that if they could find a
way of helping some of these guys out. I mean,
does anyone want to see a Paqi on Mayweather flag?
(28:26):
I mean, that's actually what I'd probably watch again. Here's
here's the only issue I have at their age. It
looks kind of brutal, and it reminds me of when
we saw Mike Tyson last which reminds me of the
whole Jake Paul style of fighting anyway, where everything feels
like it's just set up for him to win. So
it makes me feel like, at this point in time
(28:46):
these guys' lives, no one's going out their head hunting,
no one's going out there like Mike Tyson used to
fight back in the day, or even how he came
out in the first round or so of that fight
versus Jake Paul before he told him to calm down.
It's so I look at all these so much skepticism
because it feels like.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
They're at the end of the career.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
They've blown through a bunch of money and now they
just need to try to find a way of patting
their pockets so they can live comfortably for the.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Rest of their lives. And like, I'm not signing up
for that, Like I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
And I also look at pakiaw returning, and my whole
thought on him going into the fight was, Man, I
hope he just doesn't get hurt, because you'll see that
to where a guy fights for too long and then
he ends up, you know, starting to take shots and
he's not the same fighter, and like you just see
and that's tough to watch for anybody when you see
all time grats. And so I think that's why it
(29:34):
felt like maybe there was some sort of an agreement
that was made between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, like hey,
we'll go out there will pitter patter, you know, but
I'm not going to pull the trigger and try and
you know, put your lights out. And with this one,
what was interesting is that Mario Barrios wasn't active enough.
But this wasn't an exhibition type fight. This was a
real fight, and Pakiao showed that he still has skills
(29:57):
at his age forty six years old to have the
handspeed and everything that he was able to do at
that point. But yeah, I mean I can't imagine that.
You know, it's definitely not going to be what a
lot of people were expecting the first fight to be
because even the first time Mayweather and Pakia fought, you
both shoulder injury. Again, he had the shoulder injury, and
both were past their promes. So when you got it,
(30:20):
much like Floyd, Mayweather was smart about when he got Canelo.
When he fought Canelo, he fought him before Canelo really
became Canelo, Like Floyd's always been really strategic about this.
But yeah, when it comes to the money stuff, I
would assume if you made what would be your best
piece of advice? All Right, if you're managing a boxer
and somebody says, hey, listen, i've got this fight coming up.
(30:43):
I'm going to earn twenty million on it, how do
I keep that for as long as I can. What
would be your advice to some of these boxers coming
up in the.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Game, Some of these fighters, I mean, I don't know
that anyone cares about that. I would just say, save
as much as you possibly can, and whatever's left over,
then you say to the number you want to spend
whatever's leftover, then that's your spending.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
I think in America we do it the other way around.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Oftentimes we're like, oh, I don't want to spend this
on and then you're like, oh, or whatever's left over,
ILL just put that in savings.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
It probably should be the other way around.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
He made one hundred and twenty million for his fight
against Mayweather, Yeah, ten years ago. What do you think
they're gonna make if they do a rematch now? M
I would guess that number would be fifty Yeah, twenty five.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I would say, if you could get half, you would
be pleasantly, like, really really happy with half of that.
And I don't think they get that. I just don't don't.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
I don't think so either. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Again, I would watch only because a fan of Mayweather
and Pacquiao, and I thought the first fight you could
tell Pacquiao wasn't a hundred percent, so maybe you get
a glimpse of what it could look like. But again,
it feels like it's just set up for this to
go to a decision or for it to go to
a draw, so they could have a third fight and
milk this thing. But when they're you know, fifty plus
(32:00):
and the play be playing on the Senior Tour in golf,
I just I look at the whole thing with so
much skepticism, and I don't know if that's because of
the Jake Paul effect in boxing, but it feels like
maybe that's always always been the case, and that's where.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I was just naive to it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Well. I also I think too when it comes to
like the Mike Tyson Jake Paul stuff, because there were
some people like, oh my god, you're actually gonna watch that. Well,
first of all, it's on Netflix. I have a Netflix subscription,
so yeah, I'm gonna watch that. Secondly, Mike Tyson is
one of the greatest boxers of all time. He was
a spectacle in itself. If you were to tell me
that Michael Jordan's going to come out of retirement to
(32:37):
do the slam Dunk contest, you're not watching even though
he's not the same guy he was, even though yeah, listen,
maybe they're gonna groove it and he's gonna win because
it's more of an exhibition than anything else. If Tiger
Woods was playing at mini golf, at golf and stuff nearby,
you mean to tell me people wouldn't show up and
want to watch it. I want to watch it. He's
one of the all time great So Mayweather and pacyaw
(32:58):
do fight. Yeaoute, I'll watch it one hundred percent. Whether
or not it actually happens. I'm skeptical. I don't think
it actually happens, but there's the potential at least that
we could get that. I would recommend they throw that
on in the summertime right about now. Do not compete
and try and compete with college football on a Saturday night.
(33:19):
Don't try any of that crap. Now's the sweet spot.
Middle of July into middle of August is really the
sweet spot. If you want to get some of these
events some attention.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
There should be big fights lined up, whether it's UFC
or boxing, every single week right now, like the biggest
that you could you could. I mean, allow these guys.
I understand they have to make a living. They need
to make sure that they're training throughout the course of
the year, fighting star out of the course of the year.
These should be the big persones though, like you should
build up for these moments. I feel like in these
gaps in the schedule of TV where you're not you
(33:49):
have zero competition. If you want to maximize pay per view,
you want to maximize like the rooting interest, the betting public,
people who are dying to have something to watch, which
I fall in that category right now, now's the time,
like people are dying for this sort of like big
event for every going to get together and watch it
and not be distracted by anything else. I'm right there
with you, and I would say this. We were out
(34:11):
for Super Bowl in Vegas a couple of years ago.
That place is slowly becoming one of the sports capitals
of the world. Like it's no longer just fighting. It's
no longer just where boxing goes, where MMA goes. You
got the Golden Knights, They're huge in Vegas. You've got
the Raiders there, The A's are going to be there soon.
(34:32):
They're building that stadium currently, And I'm thinking about because
people made a point of man WrestleMania was in Vegas
last year. It's going back for a second.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Year in a row. You know, the super Bowl is
going to be back there. This is going to become
a permanent fixture because of how and you've talked about
the combine in Indianapolis, how it's just easy to get to,
Like it's set up in a way to where it
works for everybody. Vegas is set up in a way
to where, yeah, if you're on the streets trying to
navigate some of the traffic at certain times, it's a
(35:04):
little bit of a pain in the ass. But with
everything in close proximity to each other, eight to ten
minutes from the airport, it would not surprise me if
the NFL just said at one point, hey, you know what,
why don't we just go ahead and make this permanent
in the rotation. We'll just keep it in rotation. We'll
go back there every two three years because it's so
much easier for everybody else to get to and be around.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Only the only thing I've got against it is the airport.
It's not that great.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I mean, if we're being honest, and you know, I
want to know why that is. Because there's so many
people with deep pockets who get flown in there from
different casinos and supports books that they're like, well, if
they've got enough going on for them, they're just flying
private anyway. So that's the only downside of Vegas is like,
for as big an attraction as it is, it just
(35:49):
doesn't feel like there's enough flights options airlines that consistently
fly in and out of there.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
All right, two city rotation for the Super Bowl Vegas
and Miami.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Who says I would sign up for that every day of
the week.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I know there'll be some haters that are against it,
but it feeds the West Coast, it feeds the East Coast,
and those are your two prime destinations in my opinion,
on the West, you know, East.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Coast, West Coast, Las Vegas, the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
The Super Bowls in the Bay Area this year, do
you know what a pain in Does anybody know what
a pain in the ass that was for people who
were covering the events. The Players Night where they do
like the Player's only Night, super Bowl Night, it was
like a forty five minute shuttle to get to the
stadium from the Convention Center in downtown, navigating bobbing and
weaving through sleeping bags so you could get to cover
(36:35):
these players. Super Bowl Week a complete paint. A lot
of these cities aren't. Phoenix was a pain in the
ass to try and get to at certain times. If
the NFL just came out and said Vegas one year,
Miami the next and roll with that, I'm in. I
mean it's early as hell for us, but I'm in.
I just think it makes way too much sense.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
The airport, you know, little hit or miss, and it
never fails. People's people playing slot machines one last time
before they get on a flight.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
My mind become three for three for seeing someone yak
in a trash game too, just waiting to port a fly.
I've seen someone jack the last three times I've been through.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah, in Vegas, it never fails. It is Two Pros

bring you in case.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
You missed it, and for that we turn it over
to our executive producer Lee.
Speaker 10 (38:37):
Lap Good Monday morning, everybody, Good morning, Brady, Good morning, Jonas. Guys,
In case you missed it, and I don't think anyone
has missed the saga that is Andy Byron and Kristen
Cabot getting caught at the Coldplay concert. Now the latest
Andy Byron has resigned as CEO of Astronomer, and many
(38:58):
are asking what are the legal consequences of all this.
Obviously he's probably gonna get a divorce and in Massachusetts
there's a fifty to fifty law where his wife could
probably take somewhere what's estimated between twenty and seventy million
from his fortune there.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
But many ask does he have grounds to sue Coldplay?
Or that's laughing right now, It's just the best way
to get caught. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Like it's a sad story though, like this this couple
in family is torn apart. Although I've seen some of
the deeper research into it is that it wasn't his daughter,
but there was someone who was beside the couple that
was allegedly had conspired somehow.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
With the wife.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Like they knew this was going on, and so they
put him on blasts or something like that, and there
was like a deep dive into this, and it's why
she was smiling when they put them up on the
Jumbo Trump Wow.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Have you seen all the people baseball games re enacting this,
like the Philly fanatic did it. I can't believe. I
can't believe how big this got and everybody wants to
be a part of it. And I think the real
shame here. How selfish is this guy's wife that she
won't even share him, Like, like you talk about the
real victim and all. This is this guy who's gonna
(40:12):
lose everything just because he lives around selfish people who
don't want to share him with the world.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
I was actually gona take the opposite approach to saying,
like how bad is it that this thing is going viral?
This woman can't even be on social media anymore, and
like the Phillies fanatics are making fun of it. I meanwhile,
it's her real life. This is this is her real
life that's going on.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
I mean, look, and so isn't he isn't this guy
threatening or talking about potentially suing cold Play?
Speaker 4 (40:39):
He's looking into it. But many.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Law experts will say that it's dead in the water
right from the get go. It would go against creative
speech and artistic integrity of artists, as well as you
wave your right to privacy.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Once you attend a public event Coldplay to be ashamed
of themselves what they've done to that family.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
It's disgusting, ruining relationships. I mean, I mean, do you
do you think the couple stays together though? I mean,
she was already divorced. It's either galvanizes with him or
this is just they other separate ways.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Yeah, it's kind of like I think they almost have to.
It almost has to work out, because otherwise you did
all that just for that. It's kind of like trading
a first round pick for a guy who's got one
year left on his deal. You almost have to sign
him to the extension. When the Cowboys trade for Amari
Cooper was like, are they gonna are they gonna give
him an extension? Of course, they are given a first
(41:32):
round pick. You got to justify your trade. He trade.
He made a trade. I don't know if I would
call her a first round pick, but he made a trade.
And so now he's got to go all the way
with it. And it's gonna cost him a lot of money.
And I don't know what he was making at that job,
but damn, life's gonna carry a lot.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Of money currently, a lot of money. If you had
to bet though, because you're a betting man. If you
had to bet on whether or not he stays.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
With that woman, yes, I bet you.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
I bet no, it ends in the next I think
it ends the next two or three years, if not sooner.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna go with the s
I think he has to. I think he has to.
He has to justify his reasoning, and so I think
he's gonna go ahead and stick it out with this woman.
You know, I don't know where he's going to get
a job next though.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
Apparently she's she's got quite uh a fortune herself from
her previous marriage.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
She was married to a rum tycoon.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Which I'm sure you're all over, Lee, Yeah, which Rum.
Speaker 6 (42:34):
It's an eighth century New England private based room called
Private Tier Rum.
Speaker 5 (42:40):
Yeah, is this a potential target for you?
Speaker 3 (42:42):
And then say, with a lot of money that that
you know comes from maybe a Rum family or something
like that, wouldn't that be like a great for.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
You, sugar mama.
Speaker 6 (42:52):
Yeah, I'll take yeah, rum, tequila, whatever whatever you got.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
I'm for the sugar mama.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
The top three RUMs before we go to go to
break
Speaker 6 (43:00):
Here, Oh great rum in Belize i'd have to suck
up the name, but great time.
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up on
this Monday edition, we are going to look back at
the best on the planet who delivered yet again this weekend,
Scottie Scheffler. But he's not like your typical golfer. We've
got the proof. We're also going to have a conversation
about Las Vegas. Boy, have things changed in Vegas? And
(00:24):
Manny Pacyaw is back details on that event and that
situation and scene over the course of the weekend, because
of course there would be more complaints also, some potential
complaints about a swollen uvula Southwest Airlines and trying to
board a flight. Why that doesn't make any sense? The NFL,
Lloyd Howel, JC Tretder, Strip Clubs, Conference Rooms, Twtsi's Cabaret,
(00:48):
Magic City. We've got WNBA players complaining, We've got an
FSR IR. We've also got Albert Bell threatening kids over
a Halloween prank. And we've got another edition of Lee's
Left Dovers. It's all yours coming up next here, Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe On a Monday, Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, it is two.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Pros and a cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio. Brady Quinn,
Gionas Knox with you here, No LeVar Arrington. Finally we
can do a good show.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh wow, about time the gloves are off, went out
the gate.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Huh uh.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No, LeVar will be back next week little Vaka for
Old Stick City. So enjoy the time off and it
will be Brady Quinn and I taking you all the
way up here today and all throughout the week until
nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific. You can find
this show on the iHeartRadio app. You can find us
on hundreds of affiliates all across the country and listen.
(02:07):
If you are listening to the iHeartRadio app and you
are listening in Europe and all over the world, congratulations
because somebody from here went over and took from there.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Big win yesterday for Scotti Scheffler, raising the American flag
and representing the country proud and putting on a show
yet again. The greatest golfer on the planet performs yet again.
Seventeen under guy finished seventeen under par So. Scotti Scheffler
is your Can we call it the British Open just
(02:41):
to be a pain in the ass of all.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
We call it the British Open. I think everyone else
is the one that calls it the Open. I mean,
it is the oldest major, so there is something to that.
But the run that he's been on the past two
years is incredible. I think he's been the number one
player now for one hundred and fourteen weeks, like we
were watching a run similar to some of the all
time greats that I will caution this. People have been,
(03:04):
you know, putting out there all these stats comparing him
to Tiger. Okay, so twenty twenty two to twenty twenty five,
which is the run Scotty's been on. He plays, He's
played in eighty one events, he's one to twenty. He's
got four majors and two players championships. Okay, Tiger from
two thousand and two to two thousand and five, seventy
nine events, eighteen wins, four majors, zero Players championships. So
(03:27):
you're like, oh, okay, it's kind of similar to Tiger, right,
so maybe some of this is warranted. Then you go
back three years before that, for Tiger from ninety nine
to two thousand and two, seventy eight events, twenty seven wins,
seven Majors one players. So I will say what Scotty's
doing is in sports right now. I would argue he's
(03:51):
the most dominant player where he feels like the sun
coming up tomorrow, where if he is in a lead
going into the final round, it is inevitable. And that's
what you hear them talk about that he's going to win,
and he's not going to win, he might beat the
brakes off the rest of the field. And that's how
it kind of felt, even though NBC did their best
to pump up Ry McElroy all they could. Was I
(04:13):
the only one who felt that way watching it?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh it's I mean, we've got okay, did you hear
this was courtesy? Do we know the credit on this?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
On this all?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Right? So this was we're going to try and get
the credit. So if you are listening overseas and you're
a big fan of this show, understand that we will
get the credit as soon as we have the proper
credit to give. But this was the British version of
Rory McElroy over the weekend. And you tell me if
there was a rooting interest here from that side of
(04:45):
the world. This is for eagle three.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
It's on its way.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Come on, Rory, Come on, Rory, keep going, keep going,
keep going.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Let's go, it's coming over the ridge.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Go on and again and again.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yes, bounce f Rory McElroy eagle on the twelve.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's like like hearing me root for my kid, like
it at mini golf, Like, what are we doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be impartial? Aren't you supposed to
just call it as it is instead of openly rooting
and pulling for somebody to win in these events. I mean,
I don't know golf etiquette as well as you do,
but I would assume as a broadcaster, that's the etiquette
(05:25):
you should have.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So there's a couple of thoughts.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
The first is, yes, you're supposed to be unbiased. You're
supposed to kind of follow the way the tournament or
the game is going, and that's what you're supposed to
highlight and talk about. However, this was somewhat unique. There's
not many tournaments that are played in Northern Ireland. Royal
Poor Rush is not the home course for Roy mcroy's
home course I think was like Hollywood Golf Club, but
(05:51):
it was one where you know, he's they're trying to
hype him up. The crowd was there for him, rooting,
had a strong rooting interest. And I'm sure if you
there and you feel the crowd is constantly pulling for Rory,
is following Rory, and he's got the you know, the
bulk of the crowd, there's gonna be elements that you
need to play into on TV. But I think this
(06:12):
was more of a what other storyline do we have?
Like we've got Scotty Scheffler who's dominating the sport. Everyone's
heard about it, talked about it, you know, after his
press earlier in the week where he kind of downplayed
the success, downplayed the Pinnacle moments, and he talked a
little bit about that after he won.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
But when you have a player like that who.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Doesn't want to lean into it, and Jordan Smith even
talked about this a little bit, that he's not trying to,
you know, change the game like Tiger did.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Like he's just coming.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There to win and he's going home with his family,
like that's that's all he cares about. I think from
that perspective, it makes it tough for TV to really,
you know, gravitate towards a guy who's not trying to
lean into everything they're trying to do to continue to
build the game. And I'm not saying that Scotty Scheffer's
not building the game. I think he's doing it in
his own way. But I guess is contemporaries like those
(07:09):
guys don't feel like he is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean, look, he's not. Tiger Woods was his own world,
like his own universe, and that's why you could argue
who's the greatest golfer of all time? If you were
around watching golfer, watching sports when Tiger was in his prime,
that's Jordan. Like we're taking that, that's rarefied air that
(07:32):
we will not see. And yesh, Scotti Scheffler's you know,
doesn't have all that and probably doesn't even want that.
But what's wrong with that? Like, I don't think I
don't think it diminishes what he's done for the sport.
He just doesn't have the interest or maybe the thought that, yeah,
I want to go out and I want to build
and promote and be this revolutionary being at this at
(07:56):
this level representing the sport on a global grand scale.
And Scotti Scheffler even talked because people took that quote
that you mentioned where he just kind of said, hey, listen,
it's cool, but these moments are fleeting, and he just
it wasn't as overwhelmed by everything, and it didn't it
didn't run his world and run his life the way
that the way that he a lot of athletes maybe
(08:17):
let them get to at that point. And we talked
about this where Kevin Durant Aaron Rodgers said the same thing.
They finally won a championship and they were like, is
that it?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Like?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Is that it? And so Scheffler afterwards yesterday was again
asked about those comments and of course had to clarify
his statements.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I think we live now in a day and age
of where, you know, clickbait is kind of what people
look for and you can shorten a five minute clip
into you know, three words. I think really underestimates what
I was trying to communicate. You know, maybe I didn't
do as effective a job of what I would have
hoped to in communicating that, but you know, at the
end of the day, I have a tremendous amount of
gratitude towards moments like these. You know, I've literally worked
(08:55):
my entire life to become somewhat good at this game,
to be able to play this game for a living,
and it's one of the great joys of my life.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Being able to compete out here and.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
To be able to win the Open Championship here at
Port Rush is a feeling that's really hard to describe.
You know, if somebody's going to listen to the comments
I had this week, I would encourage them to listen
to all of it, and hopefully I did a good
job of communicating that, yeah, this is amazing to win
the Open Championship, But at the end of the day,
having success in life, whether it be in golf or
work or whatever it is, that's not what fulfills the
(09:25):
deepest desires of your heart. Am I grateful for it?
Do I enjoy it?
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (09:27):
My gosh, Yeah, this is a cool feeling. I can't
wait to get home and celebrate this, this championship, you know,
with the people that have kind of helped me along
the way. But at the end of the day, it
doesn't fulfill the deepest desires in my heart. And uh,
but it's just it's just tough to describe when you
when you when you haven't lived it, you know, something
I actually talked to Shane about this week was, you know,
(09:50):
just because you win a golf tournament, accomplished somement, that
doesn't make you happy.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It doesn't maybe for a few.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Moments, maybe for a few days, but at the end
of the day that you know there's more to life
than playing golf. But you know, I'm pretty excited to
go home and celebrate.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
This one works for me. He's not wrapped up in it.
He's got a life. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Can I make it a comparison of Scotti Scheffler to
someone else in the radio world, I would say Scottie
Scheffler's perspective most closely aligns with you if you actually
look at if you look at just how you go
about and associate yourself with radio and kind of that
(10:30):
disconnect where you know, you've got a family, you also
have a son, one in which that you know, from
time to time in the big moments, we get to
see you and your son, but that's really it. And
then you guys go off and you go home, or
you go off and you do your own thing. Very
similar to Scotty Scheffler. You know, you guys like to
keep the radio world in which you dominate in its
(10:52):
own space. Meanwhile, the whole family life and everything else
is a completely different, compartmentalized part of your life. So
I would say the closest thing in the radio world
to Scotty Scheffler is one Jonas Knox.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Hey, I'll take it, and that is one hundred percent
spot on and correct. Maybe that's why I can what
he says resonates with me, because I don't there are
two different things the second you get home. And I've
heard athletes talk about this to where if you win
a game, or you lose a game, or you win
a fight or lose a fighter, whatever it is that
you do in competition, when you get home to your family,
(11:28):
they don't care about any of that. None of that matters.
When I get home to my son, he doesn't care
what my best take the day was. What he wants
to know is, Hey, when are we going to play baseball?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Can I get this monster truck? Like he doesn't care
about any of that stuff, So I yeah, maybe there
is a little something to that. Although what Scotti Scheffler
is doing at his level from a radio standpoint, I'm
nowhere close, and I do wonder what is the gap
between him and the next best player, because we've talked
about that in the NFL, where hey, if Aaron Donald
is the best interior defensive lineman, what's the gap between
(12:03):
him and the next best? And as of right now,
who's even close to Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It's it's tough to figure out who exactly that person
would be because you think it back to Tiger and
I always wonder, hey, what would Phil Mickelson's career had
been like had Tiger not been around? You know, we're
probably talking about it a little bit different. You know,
maybe he still lives for the Live tour, but it
leaves for the Lived tour. Maybe he doesn't. But there's
there's a lot of those guys that you say, man,
I wonder what their career would have been had they not,
(12:33):
you know, had that Tiger Woods that was in the way.
A guy who is an anomaly and just that much
better than everyone else. I'm not sure if you throw
in like Xander Shoftley, I'm not sure who you would,
you know, throw in there, because he's just he's been
so dominant.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Now, I do want to go back.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
To Rory and I've got a conspiracy theory on this
all right, So I don't know if we've got any
music or if it's possible to maybe bring back some
rob at stack.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
He's here straight off the course of Royal Troon.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I mean, we heard the clip from a few moments
ago where it it felt over the top from NBC
and for anyone who watched in particular on Saturday, because
Rory shot one of his better rounds. I believe it
was Saturday at least, and it wasn't even the best
round of the day, but everyone was acting like it was.
I think Russell Henley actually shot the lowest round, but they're.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Hyping him up.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
O R He's gonna make it r Oh my god,
I mean this whole thing it was just so over
the top, and I was thinking to myself, was it
earlier in the week we saw another note about Rory
McRoy turning down eight hundred and fifty million to go
to live to her?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Was it earlier this past week or maybe two weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I think so, And it was. It was eight hundred
and fifty million.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Eight hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
And it it feels like every single time that there's
an issue for right, we had. We had the whole
debacle of the non conforming driver, which came out. Scottie
Scheffler acknowledged it and said, hey, they took my driver too.
In fact, if we're going to do this, why don't
we do it to everyone? You know, why are we
(14:14):
only doing this for a third of the players that
are in the tournament? Why doesn't everyone have their clubs?
You know, looked at our drivers, looked at and Yer
was upset because it happened to get out and it
made him look look kind of bad, right because he
had won it. He finally got the last major he
was looking for. And now people are saying, all right, well,
(14:35):
was because he was using a non performing driver. Well
then we didn't see him for a couple of weeks,
so you had that whole issue. Then we stopped singing
him more and more, talking to the media and saying, hey,
we're not obligated too. I was doing this on my
own account. But he didn't like how that got out
about the non conforming driver. He didn't feel like people
had his back after years of defending the PGA tour,
(14:56):
after years of not going to the live tour, and
this was in my opinion, really the next big tournament
moment they've kind of had since all of that, all
that fallout, and it's just it's not surprising to me
that you hear about him going, oh, he turned it down.
He's been turning down live tour offers forever, so either
(15:16):
he's putting it out there because he wants to keep
reminding people, Hey, I've been one of the guys who
stayed loyal. I've been one of the guys who's been
upholding the PGA Tour while the live tours try to
come in and pillage us. And I think a lot
of the broadcast and media partners have been asked to
talk as favorably as possible about him. It was a
(15:39):
natural storyline for the British Open, given that was in
Northern Ireland at Royal Point Rush. But I do think
that there is a concentrated effort by all parties involved
in the PGA Tour of trying to make Rory happy
because of how everything has gone over the past couple
of years, and even though he's had his moment and
(16:00):
he hasn't been quite as successful as I think he
probably would like to be, his team would like him
to be, and maybe a lot of people out there
thought he would.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Be I buy it. By the way, apologies I called
it Royal troon on accident. My apologies didn't mean to
confuse that with with port Rush. But yeah, it makes
sense because he has really been the most vocal about
supporting the PGA Tour as opposed to live golf, like
if you think about it, more so than Tiger, more
so than anybody. And so there may be uh there
(16:29):
make good to him in response to this, with with
these reports continuing to come out of at the live tour,
could be that I buy it. That makes sense. He
did disappear for a little bit, and he didn't seem
all that pleased about you know, the testing of the
clubs and and all that that went on, and and
Scottie Scheffler was just like, hey, I mean is what
(16:50):
it is? But that was that was a fantastic performance
for Scotty Scheffler. And do you think he's like Joker
where he lets his horses play with hiss when they
get home and just kind of says that I underneaed this,
this is just a toy At this point.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I don't know. I hope he's really boring.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I actually love the fact that he just seems like
a really good, normal guy. You know, he wins it,
he looks immediately for his wife and son. You know,
he's standing with them, hugging with them. You know, his
dad comes up and he's like, I have no words.
I mean, he's he's on such a run right now
the past couple of years that I imagine now as
a father watching a child do something like this, the
(17:29):
pinnacle of that sport. And he's talked about how hard
he's worked to get here and at being here, especially
with the early struggles and some of the changes that
he made. But you look at it and you just go, yeah,
I'm speechless too, I think. I mean, even after he won,
the broadcasters were speechless.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
He said it. They're like, what do you say?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I mean, what do you say at this point when
it feels like it's an inevitable every single time he
steps up on a big stage, if he's not winning it,
he's right there in the mix, and you better hope
he doesn't have that lead going into Sunday was.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Bryson de Shamba? Did I see this correctly? He was
tied for one hundred and forty fourth At one point
and finished tenth. I think he was like tied for
tenth at.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
One point, I came all the way back.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
That's like under the radar, like really impressive was what was.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Impressive was And this is one of the things that
I've appreciated about his like transition from being one of the
more hated players in golf to one of the most likable.
Now the putt he hit, I think he ended up
finishing out like ten under or something. The putt he
hit though on eighteen on the final day, he gave
like the biggest fist pump and like bro hug to
a scatty and he just he embraces it, like he's
(18:38):
one of those guys who.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Like fully embraces where it's at.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I think that's the only knock that you're gonna hear
on Scotti Scheffler in the runnings on right now, is
he's not playing Bryson d.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Chambeau every week.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
You know, he's not playing you know, Tyrrell Hadden or
whoever else do you want to say that's on the
live tour that you could say it would be a
you know, quality golfer because we only see him the majors.
And even though Scott he's dominating when he plays in
the majors. He's not playing those guys on a weekly basis,
So that is the other caveat to like looking at
Scotty Scheffler's run when in comparing it to Tiger, it's
(19:11):
a little bit too like the Lebron Jordan debate, where
people kind of forget just how dominant good Jordan was
in an era where different brand of basketball, so many
stars that he went through in the East too, just
to be able to get to a championship as compared
to how bad the East was during Lebron's career, and
even though he made it to all these NBA finals, you're like, Okay,
(19:32):
that was a much easier path than what Jordan had
to deal with. Kind Of similar too with Scheffler, it
hasn't been the most difficult path path. And maybe why
Jack Nicholas sel what he said after Memorial Tournament this year,
you know, just kind of talking about some of the
guys who are in competition that he had a feeling
they were going to fold in the end when they
were going up against Scotty Scheffler.
Speaker 1 (19:52):

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Quick nbcusa network where is actually who broadcasts the bird
is shopen?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I mean Lee's telling me CBS for some reason, Lee.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I was just using the cut sheet that we had
here at the at the station so that you're right there, Brady.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Because Dan Hicks works for NBC.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Yeah, I just just using the I know, I know
we care about credits.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
I want to make sure we Brady.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
That's why we got a team here.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Maybe maybe maybe that team should be filled in on
the uh the right, Dan Nix works for CBS. Interesting,
That's that's that's very noteworthy.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Well, listen, congratulations to NBC and to uh the people
behind the scenes here. Phenomenal work.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
So speaking of the credit, Uh, you got to talk
to me about this past weekend because you got to
go to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Uh, that is correct. There was a big fight this weekend,
all right. So there was actually a couple of big
It was kind of an obscure with NFL not here yet.
It was kind of an obscure weekend because you had
major events. You obviously had the Open Championship, you had
a big time UFC event, but in Vegas specifically, there
(24:18):
was the return of Manny Paciow, who hasn't fought since
twenty twenty one. He's been retired. He's fought a couple
of exhibitions, but nothing serious. And he decided to come
out of retirement at forty six years old and fight
this guy, Mario Barrios, who's a world champion. And I
all full disclosure. I got there thinking, you know, maybe
(24:40):
some people would be real interested in this thing, but
you know not that there were Pacquiao fans everywhere. He
is beloved, and just getting to be there at MGM,
getting to just to see the presentation of him and
the way that he was celebrated. I mean, we talk
about Scotti, Scheffler, Tiger Woods, Pakia is one of those
(25:01):
all time grades. So it was a fun event. Of course,
it was a bad decision because it's boxing. That's just
what boxing does. People were bitching about the decision. They
thought Pacquiao got screwed. He was almost a two to
one underdog in some places going into the fight. I
bet on many Paki, how I want to say that,
So if anybody should be upset about it, I should
be upset.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well the problem is, yeah, the problem is it was
a majority draw, so nobody won. But if somebody did win,
if we're being honest about it, it was Paqiao and
they gave it a majority draw. And so who knows.
Movie this sets up a rematch, which is probably, you know,
potentially in the works. Many Patio was talking about Floyd Mayweather.
(25:43):
But it was a fun event. And I'll say this,
I realized my body at this point cannot be around
cigarette smoke. Can't happen. You don't realize until you get
around it again how much it affects you. My uvula
is swollen, all right. You know that little uh, that
little punching bag hanging down the back of your throat,
(26:05):
Your uvula, that's all swollen. Every time I'm in Vegas
around cigarette smoke, my uvula swells up, and it's a problem.
And so I'm dealing with that just based on the
fact that I was around cigarette smoke from time to time.
I would say this park MGM smoking free, no smoking
at Park MGM, a fine establishment, but nonetheless is still
(26:29):
a pretty good time out there in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
So that might have been the most weeny thing I've
heard you say in a long time.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You've never had a swollen uvula before, No, a.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Lot I did.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
It's because I was sick. I'm not going to ploym
it on cigarette smoke. Well, a lot of you chose
hold on. You chose to go out to Las Vegas.
You knew the environment that you'd be entering into. I
didn't know this is this was all your decision. You
can't complain about that like that. It's borderlines hypocrisy because
of the way you're handling this. We go back to
(27:01):
the first question that really should be asked. Yeah, why
the hell is many Pacchio fighting at this stage.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
In his life.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, I'm assuming he takes care of a lot of people.
And one of the things with Manny is that because
he takes care of a lot of people, he needs
those paychecks so much so that the last few fights
of his career reportedly or the last few fights of
you know, previously before he retired, he was asking for
advancements before the fight because of how many people he
(27:31):
takes care of. I mean, he's like a whole entourage of.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
How much would you guess his career earnings were from boxing?
This isn't even sponsorships either, it's just career earnings.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Oh, just from boxing? Four hundred million.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Five hundred and seventy five million in career earnings from boxing.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I mean, it's expensive in the Philippines. Man, I don't
have to tell you.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I've got some buddies who'd argue otherwise.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Let me let me just say this, our boxers the
most poorly managed of all professional athletes in regards to
their money. And I mean, I know the lifestyle in and
of itself is kind of wild, but it feels like
that is one sport that if they could find a
way of helping some of these guys out. I mean,
does anyone want to see a Paqi on Mayweather flag?
(28:26):
I mean, that's actually what I'd probably watch again. Here's
here's the only issue I have at their age. It
looks kind of brutal, and it reminds me of when
we saw Mike Tyson last which reminds me of the
whole Jake Paul style of fighting anyway, where everything feels
like it's just set up for him to win. So
it makes me feel like, at this point in time
(28:46):
these guys' lives, no one's going out their head hunting,
no one's going out there like Mike Tyson used to
fight back in the day, or even how he came
out in the first round or so of that fight
versus Jake Paul before he told him to calm down.
It's so I look at all these so much skepticism
because it feels like.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
They're at the end of the career.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
They've blown through a bunch of money and now they
just need to try to find a way of patting
their pockets so they can live comfortably for the.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Rest of their lives. And like, I'm not signing up
for that, Like I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
And I also look at pakiaw returning, and my whole
thought on him going into the fight was, Man, I
hope he just doesn't get hurt, because you'll see that
to where a guy fights for too long and then
he ends up, you know, starting to take shots and
he's not the same fighter, and like you just see
and that's tough to watch for anybody when you see
all time grats. And so I think that's why it
(29:34):
felt like maybe there was some sort of an agreement
that was made between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, like hey,
we'll go out there will pitter patter, you know, but
I'm not going to pull the trigger and try and
you know, put your lights out. And with this one,
what was interesting is that Mario Barrios wasn't active enough.
But this wasn't an exhibition type fight. This was a
real fight, and Pakiao showed that he still has skills
(29:57):
at his age forty six years old to have the
handspeed and everything that he was able to do at
that point. But yeah, I mean I can't imagine that.
You know, it's definitely not going to be what a
lot of people were expecting the first fight to be
because even the first time Mayweather and Pakia fought, you
both shoulder injury. Again, he had the shoulder injury, and
both were past their promes. So when you got it,
(30:20):
much like Floyd, Mayweather was smart about when he got Canelo.
When he fought Canelo, he fought him before Canelo really
became Canelo, Like Floyd's always been really strategic about this.
But yeah, when it comes to the money stuff, I
would assume if you made what would be your best
piece of advice? All Right, if you're managing a boxer
and somebody says, hey, listen, i've got this fight coming up.
(30:43):
I'm going to earn twenty million on it, how do
I keep that for as long as I can. What
would be your advice to some of these boxers coming
up in the.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Game, Some of these fighters, I mean, I don't know
that anyone cares about that. I would just say, save
as much as you possibly can, and whatever's left over,
then you say to the number you want to spend
whatever's leftover, then that's your spending.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
I think in America we do it the other way around.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Oftentimes we're like, oh, I don't want to spend this
on and then you're like, oh, or whatever's left over,
ILL just put that in savings.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
It probably should be the other way around.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
He made one hundred and twenty million for his fight
against Mayweather, Yeah, ten years ago. What do you think
they're gonna make if they do a rematch now? M
I would guess that number would be fifty Yeah, twenty five.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I would say, if you could get half, you would
be pleasantly, like, really really happy with half of that.
And I don't think they get that. I just don't don't.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
I don't think so either. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Again, I would watch only because a fan of Mayweather
and Pacquiao, and I thought the first fight you could
tell Pacquiao wasn't a hundred percent, so maybe you get
a glimpse of what it could look like. But again,
it feels like it's just set up for this to
go to a decision or for it to go to
a draw, so they could have a third fight and
milk this thing. But when they're you know, fifty plus
(32:00):
and the play be playing on the Senior Tour in golf,
I just I look at the whole thing with so
much skepticism, and I don't know if that's because of
the Jake Paul effect in boxing, but it feels like
maybe that's always always been the case, and that's where.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I was just naive to it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Well. I also I think too when it comes to
like the Mike Tyson Jake Paul stuff, because there were
some people like, oh my god, you're actually gonna watch that. Well,
first of all, it's on Netflix. I have a Netflix subscription,
so yeah, I'm gonna watch that. Secondly, Mike Tyson is
one of the greatest boxers of all time. He was
a spectacle in itself. If you were to tell me
that Michael Jordan's going to come out of retirement to
(32:37):
do the slam Dunk contest, you're not watching even though
he's not the same guy he was, even though yeah, listen,
maybe they're gonna groove it and he's gonna win because
it's more of an exhibition than anything else. If Tiger
Woods was playing at mini golf, at golf and stuff nearby,
you mean to tell me people wouldn't show up and
want to watch it. I want to watch it. He's
one of the all time great So Mayweather and pacyaw
(32:58):
do fight. Yeaoute, I'll watch it one hundred percent. Whether
or not it actually happens. I'm skeptical. I don't think
it actually happens, but there's the potential at least that
we could get that. I would recommend they throw that
on in the summertime right about now. Do not compete
and try and compete with college football on a Saturday night.
(33:19):
Don't try any of that crap. Now's the sweet spot.
Middle of July into middle of August is really the
sweet spot. If you want to get some of these
events some attention.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
There should be big fights lined up, whether it's UFC
or boxing, every single week right now, like the biggest
that you could you could. I mean, allow these guys.
I understand they have to make a living. They need
to make sure that they're training throughout the course of
the year, fighting star out of the course of the year.
These should be the big persones though, like you should
build up for these moments. I feel like in these
gaps in the schedule of TV where you're not you
(33:49):
have zero competition. If you want to maximize pay per view,
you want to maximize like the rooting interest, the betting public,
people who are dying to have something to watch, which
I fall in that category right now, now's the time,
like people are dying for this sort of like big
event for every going to get together and watch it
and not be distracted by anything else. I'm right there
with you, and I would say this. We were out
(34:11):
for Super Bowl in Vegas a couple of years ago.
That place is slowly becoming one of the sports capitals
of the world. Like it's no longer just fighting. It's
no longer just where boxing goes, where MMA goes. You
got the Golden Knights, They're huge in Vegas. You've got
the Raiders there, The A's are going to be there soon.
(34:32):
They're building that stadium currently, And I'm thinking about because
people made a point of man WrestleMania was in Vegas
last year. It's going back for a second.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Year in a row. You know, the super Bowl is
going to be back there. This is going to become
a permanent fixture because of how and you've talked about
the combine in Indianapolis, how it's just easy to get to,
Like it's set up in a way to where it
works for everybody. Vegas is set up in a way
to where, yeah, if you're on the streets trying to
navigate some of the traffic at certain times, it's a
(35:04):
little bit of a pain in the ass. But with
everything in close proximity to each other, eight to ten
minutes from the airport, it would not surprise me if
the NFL just said at one point, hey, you know what,
why don't we just go ahead and make this permanent
in the rotation. We'll just keep it in rotation. We'll
go back there every two three years because it's so
much easier for everybody else to get to and be around.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Only the only thing I've got against it is the airport.
It's not that great.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I mean, if we're being honest, and you know, I
want to know why that is. Because there's so many
people with deep pockets who get flown in there from
different casinos and supports books that they're like, well, if
they've got enough going on for them, they're just flying
private anyway. So that's the only downside of Vegas is like,
for as big an attraction as it is, it just
(35:49):
doesn't feel like there's enough flights options airlines that consistently
fly in and out of there.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
All right, two city rotation for the Super Bowl Vegas
and Miami.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Who says I would sign up for that every day of
the week.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I know there'll be some haters that are against it,
but it feeds the West Coast, it feeds the East Coast,
and those are your two prime destinations in my opinion,
on the West, you know, East.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Coast, West Coast, Las Vegas, the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
The Super Bowls in the Bay Area this year, do
you know what a pain in Does anybody know what
a pain in the ass that was for people who
were covering the events. The Players Night where they do
like the Player's only Night, super Bowl Night, it was
like a forty five minute shuttle to get to the
stadium from the Convention Center in downtown, navigating bobbing and
weaving through sleeping bags so you could get to cover
(36:35):
these players. Super Bowl Week a complete paint. A lot
of these cities aren't. Phoenix was a pain in the
ass to try and get to at certain times. If
the NFL just came out and said Vegas one year,
Miami the next and roll with that, I'm in. I
mean it's early as hell for us, but I'm in.
I just think it makes way too much sense.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
The airport, you know, little hit or miss, and it
never fails. People's people playing slot machines one last time
before they get on a flight.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
My mind become three for three for seeing someone yak
in a trash game too, just waiting to port a fly.
I've seen someone jack the last three times I've been through.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah, in Vegas, it never fails. It is Two Pros

Speaker 1 (38:31):
You missed it, and for that we turn it over
to our executive producer Lee.
Speaker 10 (38:37):
Lap Good Monday morning, everybody, Good morning, Brady, Good morning, Jonas. Guys,
In case you missed it, and I don't think anyone
has missed the saga that is Andy Byron and Kristen
Cabot getting caught at the Coldplay concert. Now the latest
Andy Byron has resigned as CEO of Astronomer, and many
(38:58):
are asking what are the legal consequences of all this.
Obviously he's probably gonna get a divorce and in Massachusetts
there's a fifty to fifty law where his wife could
probably take somewhere what's estimated between twenty and seventy million
from his fortune there.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
But many ask does he have grounds to sue Coldplay?
Or that's laughing right now, It's just the best way
to get caught. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Like it's a sad story though, like this this couple
in family is torn apart. Although I've seen some of
the deeper research into it is that it wasn't his daughter,
but there was someone who was beside the couple that
was allegedly had conspired somehow.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
With the wife.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Like they knew this was going on, and so they
put him on blasts or something like that, and there
was like a deep dive into this, and it's why
she was smiling when they put them up on the
Jumbo Trump Wow.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Have you seen all the people baseball games re enacting this,
like the Philly fanatic did it. I can't believe. I
can't believe how big this got and everybody wants to
be a part of it. And I think the real
shame here. How selfish is this guy's wife that she
won't even share him, Like, like you talk about the
real victim and all. This is this guy who's gonna
(40:12):
lose everything just because he lives around selfish people who
don't want to share him with the world.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
I was actually gona take the opposite approach to saying,
like how bad is it that this thing is going viral?
This woman can't even be on social media anymore, and
like the Phillies fanatics are making fun of it. I meanwhile,
it's her real life. This is this is her real
life that's going on.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
I mean, look, and so isn't he isn't this guy
threatening or talking about potentially suing cold Play?
Speaker 4 (40:39):
He's looking into it. But many.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Law experts will say that it's dead in the water
right from the get go. It would go against creative
speech and artistic integrity of artists, as well as you
wave your right to privacy.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Once you attend a public event Coldplay to be ashamed
of themselves what they've done to that family.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
It's disgusting, ruining relationships. I mean, I mean, do you
do you think the couple stays together though? I mean,
she was already divorced. It's either galvanizes with him or
this is just they other separate ways.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Yeah, it's kind of like I think they almost have to.
It almost has to work out, because otherwise you did
all that just for that. It's kind of like trading
a first round pick for a guy who's got one
year left on his deal. You almost have to sign
him to the extension. When the Cowboys trade for Amari
Cooper was like, are they gonna are they gonna give
him an extension? Of course, they are given a first
(41:32):
round pick. You got to justify your trade. He trade.
He made a trade. I don't know if I would
call her a first round pick, but he made a trade.
And so now he's got to go all the way
with it. And it's gonna cost him a lot of money.
And I don't know what he was making at that job,
but damn, life's gonna carry a lot.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Of money currently, a lot of money. If you had
to bet though, because you're a betting man. If you
had to bet on whether or not he stays.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
With that woman, yes, I bet you.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
I bet no, it ends in the next I think
it ends the next two or three years, if not sooner.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna go with the s
I think he has to. I think he has to.
He has to justify his reasoning, and so I think
he's gonna go ahead and stick it out with this woman.
You know, I don't know where he's going to get
a job next though.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
Apparently she's she's got quite uh a fortune herself from
her previous marriage.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
She was married to a rum tycoon.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Which I'm sure you're all over, Lee, Yeah, which Rum.
Speaker 6 (42:34):
It's an eighth century New England private based room called
Private Tier Rum.
Speaker 5 (42:40):
Yeah, is this a potential target for you?
Speaker 3 (42:42):
And then say, with a lot of money that that
you know comes from maybe a Rum family or something
like that, wouldn't that be like a great for.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
You, sugar mama.
Speaker 6 (42:52):
Yeah, I'll take yeah, rum, tequila, whatever whatever you got.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
I'm for the sugar mama.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
The top three RUMs before we go to go to
break
Speaker 6 (43:00):
Here, Oh great rum in Belize i'd have to suck
up the name, but great time.
