of our issues. When it comes to the intro songs.

All I do is produced banger after banger.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
It takes you three weeks to pick a song, dude,
It's not that complicated.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I mean, it takes time. It's got to be perfect.
It is two pros and a cup of Joe.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas
knocks with you. Potentially some cause for concern here, Uh oh,
Micah Parsons, who is donning the number one in Green Bay.
He'll be wearing number one, Michaeh Parsons in Green Bay.
Apparently he might need to get an epidural if he's

(02:27):
going to play against the Detroit Lions. According to Adam Schefter,
he's been dealing with an L four L five facet
joint sprain in his back. He may need the injection
because it may help him play. Before trading for Parsons
last week, the Cowboys prescribed him a five day course

(02:48):
of anti inflammatories to help him recover from back tightness.
They also had him on a physical therapy program. So
that is the situation when it comes to Michah Parsons
as he gets ready for the opener against the Detroit Lions.
Is this concerning or is this nowhere near the level
of what Matthew Stafford was dealing with with his back issue?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
O C You.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I think anything involving a back issue is concerning in
my opinion, dealt with L four or five L five
S one back issues. Had my disc taken out for
on the L four L five on my right side,
so it's yeah, it's extremely problematic. It makes me wonder
if this was something that the Cowboys knew and it
was part of their hesitation with some of the negotiations,

(03:34):
or maybe part of the lack of guarantees or how
they structured the guarantees within the contract that forced David
Mulligetta and Micah Parsons to want to look elsewhere and
maybe feel like they couldn't get a deal done. You know,
these sorts of things don't get better, you know, I mean,
unless I'm wrong, which I've never known anyone who had

(03:56):
back issues that are like, yeah, actually I, you know,
had a back issue and now I'm back stronger and
better than ever. Like I've never heard of an athlete
who's had that, So that that's what it leads me
to think, is you know, ay, like what are the
packers getting in this trade? You know, it will make
a Parsons be able to be the makeup Parsons we've
seen over the course of his career so far, and

(04:18):
then it's like, is this thing going to plague him
the rest of his career?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I take a little bit of a different different approach
to it. There have been back injuries you can come
back from, man.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
I mean they're not saying come back, but I'm saying
how many guys have had them and then like been
a better player?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, I'll say, like Tommy John Yeah, but it's not.
I don't think this is that far into it being
a bad situation. Like any surgery. It just sounds like
like if somebody were to throw their back out breaking
leaves or mowing a lawn or something like that, like
you give it a little bit of time, it comes

(04:55):
back to normal. I think a sprain in your back
is much different than degenerative like to end up having
to get a disc removed. I mean, maybe that happens
down the line. I don't know. I don't know if
it becomes a degenerative issue. But if I don't hear
degeneratives as they're they're talking about about it, or like

(05:16):
arthritic type of deals where where it seems like that's
like you can't really come back from that, if it's
just a strained, a pooled muscle in your back, I
don't I don't see it being a big, big situation.
And to give that amount of money that that they've
offered in the contract for the trade, and and to

(05:37):
give away what they did in assets to the Cowboys,
he was going to have to go through a pretty
good I mean, we all know doctors if they really
want a player, they're going to pass the guy through
through a physical anyway. But they're not I don't see
them doing that type of deal. If something shows up
on the MRIs and the scans that they run when

(06:00):
they're doing the physical before they do this deal, I
don't think it's a red flag at this moment. I'll
say so getting an epidor getting an epidoral doesn't like
and it sounds worse than what it is really, all
you're doing is basically taking an injection in the area
that dolls the pain of where you have the pain.

(06:21):
I'd be no different if you were to do it
for a knee or for a toe, like if you
had turf toe. You know, sometimes they do injections that
like kind of block where where the pain is. I
don't I don't see it from my perspective as being
that serious. And I'm not just saying that because it's
Michael Parsons. Yeah, all right, there we go. I knew

(06:43):
that was coming.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Lee's concerned. I knew that was Lee the laugh was concerned.
I know that he was really sweating his balls off
yesterday when the news came out.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
That's not true, but yeah, I mean it's of course
it's concerning, just hearing about the big, big name player,
of course being injured.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
But I think he's gonna be fine. Like LaVar, you
put me at ease just now with the Yeah, I
mean he's not They're not saying he's injured, right that,
They're saying he's dealing with a strain in his back.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
I mean, I do see that term you used, degenerative. Degenerative. Uh, Now,
if you hear it out there. But if you hear
if you hear that, then that's where there's no come
out there. But there's no coming back from that.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh, you're internet the doctors, your armchair doctors. If those
armchair doctors are accurate, I mean.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Hold you mean the guy who actually like have like
they have their you know, m D. But they're just
online looking at it. Is that what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Yeah, just a lot of responses to these reports, like
people saying that the packers didn't know and uh, people
chiming in about you know, they sound like they know
what they're talking about. They put throughout a lot of
big words and say that the sprain probably is trying
to describe a degenerative issue, which.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
As possible because a strain is a tear. I will
say this about the Cowboy is the Cowboys. I think
their doctors did Jalen Smith's knee surgery if I'm not mistaken.
Remember when he heard it in the festival yea yeah,
and he was a like a lock for being a
first round pick. Well the Cowboys end up taking him.
Now he dropped to the second round. But I believe,

(08:16):
if my information is correct, their medical staff was the
ones who did the surgery, and I think that they
felt comfortable enough because they knew, you know, what they
were getting based on again doing the surgery. So there
is something you know to that when it's your player,
you have a history of it and you're able to
kind of, you know, then look at it moving forward.

(08:39):
There's an element I think of them feeling more comfortable
with what they're offering for a contract where they feel
like the player's at in his career or his lifespan
and his playing career. So there might be something to that.
I don't know. I mean, look, I hope he's the
player that we've all seen because you know, the NFL
needs that. It'd be fun to see the Packers with
Rashan Gary on one him on the other. What that

(09:01):
would look like. But it would be a shame if
you know, he went there and he is. Like I thought,
the whole back story he was telling during camp and
everything else, I thought that was just a negotiation tack day.
I didn't actually think there was anything legitimately there.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
I mean, yeah, it's also did you see the Albert
Breer story that so Albert Breer was reporting on you know,
some of the stuff that was going on in Dallas
with Micah Parsons, and he said, quote, Zach Martin, C. D. Lamb,
and Dak Prescott are and were very popular in the
locker room. That's not the case with Parsons, who has

(09:35):
rankled teammates in different ways, seen by some as egotistical
and self centered. His podcast has created issues too that
go all the way up to quarterback Dak Prescott. So
I mean, we're already starting to get the uh you know,
now he's got a back issue.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now he was a pain in the ass behind the scenes.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Like it feels like we're starting to get some of
the Micah shade thrown out there when it comes to
their experience.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
And they could, they could throw shade out there, but
it's done. He's not. He's no longer a Dallas cowboy.
I mean, prepare for your season. I think they have
a lot of bigger fish to fry. They signed Doron
Bland to a deal. See all right, well there you go.
They did get that extension done. So it was interesting.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Didn't that kind of look reactionary because that's a big
deal and it's I'm not saying it's close to Micah's
I mean it's not too far off like total value
of the deal. But you look at it, your go
all right, did they just say, Okay, we're going to
show people we have the cap space. We could do
a deal if we wanted to. Just we didn't like
we couldn't work out with Micah. I had to do something.

(10:38):
I hope they win. Don't have it right now. If
you're a betting man who's gonna finish higher, I think
you don't take green Bay right. I'm taking green Bay
easily stick. Yeah, I mean that was cue that throughout
the pick, but I agreed with him. I I be
surprised if Dallas can reach ten wins. They're going to

(11:02):
struggle to reach ten wins. If from looking at it,
because talent will never outperform dysfunction. And while he may
be highly functioning business wise and as a brand. I
saw this happening in Washington, and listen, I get that
Jerry Jones has much more of a resume than what

(11:23):
Dan Snyder has or had, But a lot of the
things that you see taking place in Dallas are airly
similar to the things that was going on when Dan
Snyder owned the Washington Redskins. And that's just the reality
of it, and it comes across as very dysfunctional. I mean,
we're heading into gang week. This is week one and

(11:46):
Dallas is we're talking.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
About reports of what people had to say about Michael Parsons. Like,
think about it. You have enough on your plate just
to prepare on a regular workweek to try how to
win a game. So the fact that y'all are talking
about Michael Parsons still and you want to have like
quotes and accounts as to why you got rid of them,

(12:08):
and this, that and the other, that's confusion. No matter
how you want to splice it. That that is creating confusion.
Your locker room has to talk about it. It's on
their minds. That's not an easy one to just move
on from. Yep, moving on, got a game this week? Like, no,
they're asking about Michael Parsons. Who is probably again I
asked this question over the weekend. There's not one number

(12:33):
one most elite player up for discussion outside of Michael
Parsons that was on that roster. You can't say Dak
Prescott number one, number two. You can't say ced Lamb
number one, number two, even though his yardage, you know
he led it. With yardage. He's not a number one,
number two rated receiver in the league. That's justin Jefferson

(12:54):
and our guy out and Chase in Cincinnati. Hands down,
I don't think that's a for debate. Michael Parsons is
up for debate as most dominant defensive player in the league,
the only one you had on your team and you're
going into a season without him now due to a
trade you didn't want to pay him. Confusion will never
outdo or excuse me, talent will never outdo confusion. And

(13:18):
that's what you got going on in Dallas. I'll be
shocked if they hit ten wins.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Their win total on DraftKings is seven and a half,
so I'll be shocked if they break seven and a
half wins.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I take that back. You'll take the under, Oh yeah,
I take the Underall.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Sticks picks is the Khalil mac trade. The closest thing
we have to really look at, like how that worked
out in retrospect to both the Raiders and the Bears.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Would I would say Reggie White, even though the historical
value of it was a little bit different. That was
a signing though, Yeah, I mean it was a little different.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
I'm just trying to use an apples to apples comparison
like both edge Rusher is more recent, like in our
the start of this millennium, and.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
I don't think that even compares.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
I don't think, okay, but I understand the point of
trying to make in regards to the player. I'm just
saying promising edge Rusher, like you would make the case
that when Khalil Mack was on the Raiders, number one
defensive player on that team, maybe the best overall player
on that team.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely. So the reason why I would say
it's not comparable is what year was Khalil Mack in.
I think he was older five he was going. No, no,
it wasn't fought was it the same exact year? Twenty seven?
I think when he got the twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
So he was off of his he was still in
his first contract. And that's why because Gruden had just
taken over and he didn't want.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
To Oh well yeah, they commit that much that change,
is it? Yeah, well, yes, it is comparable. I thought
he was older when he left. No, no, no, he was.
He hadn't even came off of his his first contract
and he was he.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Well, he was older in the sense of his age
because he got into the NFL at twenty three, but
in regards to his like contract for being a first
round pick, he was in the very he's like the
almost the exact same spot. What's interesting about it, though,
is he goes to Chicago and he's never ever able

(15:21):
to replicate the production that he had with the Raiders
until he got to the Charges when he turned thirty two.
You know, I just I think it's interesting that we
like kind of tend to look at this and this
isn't like a comment to like Devalue Michael Parsons's impact,
how good of a player he is, But I also
think we tend to overvalue too, like how good some

(15:44):
guys are, and that like the next guy's waiting to
come in, can't have a good year, can't have good production,
or whatever else maybe the case. So like like they like,
for example, if you're able to find, you know, a
couple of guys who can come in and maybe one
gives you nine, maybe one gives you ten, one good
guy gives six, and Parsons only has twelve sacks, you know,
for the package next year, you kind of look at

(16:06):
it and all right, like maybe in the end, like
we kind of it worked out better for us. We're
probably saving some money under the cap. We've got guys
who are you know, equally as productive, if not more so.
And you know we've got some future draft capital on
top of that. I don't know, I mean, that could be,
but of course it all can be. Miss sack could
be a sack, Like you know, when did you get

(16:27):
the sack? How did this sac Like Michael Parsons is
a game wrecking machine. I'm not discounting that. Like I'm
not discounting any part of his game even if well
if you look out and that's stat you know what
I mean, Like the passion of it is the impact
of game planning. How about this the impact of game planning. Like,

(16:48):
you're not gonna prepare for an average NFL guy the
same way you are Michael Parsons. You're gonna have to
add hips, You're gonna have to put in things where
you're probably not running them to that side. You're gonna
know wherever he's out on the field, there might be
time is when he's supposed to been the left side,
he goes on the right side, and then you have
to slide the line that way. Trust me, I know
better than anyone else how this works. I'm saying in retrospect,

(17:08):
when you look at how that deal worked out for
both Chicago and Oakland at the time where the Raiders were,
I'm not really sure it worked out for anyone. Yeah,
I mean, I mean, Jonas, you're a Bears fan, Like,
did you feel like the Bears had he was like
one year? Maybe?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, I mean that was and that was the double
doint game where they went to the playoffs and Klo
Mack was good for him. He was especially good when
they had first gotten him in that first game.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
He was an All Pro that first year.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, and he and.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Look, one of the draft picks turned into Josh Jacobs,
who ultimately you.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Know how I gave him a whackers.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
So the Kolo Mac trade isn't like, I go back
to this. You mean to tell me Dallas couldn't have
gotten something more for Michah Parsons like that. That's the
part that still is confusing to me because we were
making the point that, yeah, they got a couple of
first round picks, but his back is Okay, well, they
got a couple of first round picks, but they got

(18:02):
a couple of first round picks from a team that's
going to be picking what twenty six, twenty seven, maybe
like really late in the draft. For the next couple
of weeks, they're gonna stink.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
So that draft capital becomes more valuable because you might
be able to package that in.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
But it's at that point in the first round. It's
almost like a second round pick.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
You can package that that pick, that value of a
first round pick into a trade. Maybe, Yeah, I mean,
that's what it is, right and that's why they call
it draftcacky. But maybe they couldn't and maybe somebody wouldn't
take them up on that, and maybe they won't, but
I think you got a chance.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
I look at it and I go because part of
what was the motivating factor, and we mentioned this to
day after the trade happened, and why Gruden traded Khalil
Mack to the Bears was the Packers were the other team,
ironically that were in discussions with the Raiders about Khalil Mack,
and he chose to do the deal with Chicago because
he thought the first round picks they were going to

(19:00):
it from Chicago better, we're going to be higher up
because they were a worse team it flipped, and so
those became later picks because the Packers struggled that year
and the Bears won the division.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I just they went in more than seven.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
I find it hard to believe that there was no
other team that had an off table other than the Packers.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
I don't I don't get this, Like, how could it
you know, if I mean, he's everything that I think
we all look at him to be. How are the
Packers the only team who are in on this. There
wasn't anyone else. There was no one else interested in
Micah Parsons. I haven't heard of one other team reported
on that.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
And that's what's confusing. And Jerry Jones even said something
along the lines of, listen, we didn't want to trade
it to green Bay, but you know, but we ended
up having to do the deal with green.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Bay and Cleveland negotiated against themselves at one point too,
and one of the largest fully guaranteed contracts in the history.
I know, Atlanta, Atlanta, there's there's a few other teams,
but but didn't they end up negotiating against themselves? Like, no,
they had to do that contract otherwise he was going
to Atlanta. Do you think that one hundred percent. I know,

(20:09):
I know. If not for that contract, he was not
going to.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Be in Cleveland. Yeah, okay, well I don't know what
to say. All I'll say is he got his money
from Green Bay. I don't know if anybody else was
out there knocking, I don't know. That wouldn't be. That's
Michael Parsons. And again like.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
If you're if you're in New England, you have caps
face too. You wouldn't, Yeah, wouldn't. If you're Mike rab
kick the tigers on that, you have to.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
You have to.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Maybe they feel like they're in rebuild Node and they
want to, but.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
They were making it like they were interested in TJ.
Watt or Hendrickson that.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
They were already there was already rumors of that, like
why would New England not be involved? Why wouldn't I mean, I.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Mean maybe maybe they poisoned the whale with some people.
Maybe it was like, Okay, you know, Michael Parsons likes
his podcast. Michael Parsons got a bad back. Michael Parsons
isn't like by his teammates in the lock.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Everyone has a podcast now, Like, is that that big
of an issue for teams?

Speaker 1 (21:12):
I'm being sarcastic guy, I'd be serious.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, I hope that people really get that upset about podcasts.
I feel like there's so many out there. It's like
I fully expect when I meet someone for the first
time for them to say, yeah, I have a podcast,
Like yeah, I get that. It's like social like everyone's
got a podcast. Someone wants to talk on camera to
someone or to no one and just talk, you know,
like I get it. So I don't know why that
would even be.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
It happens to be doing it at a higher level
than a lot of these guys.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
It's like what it was on Zen's, Like everyone does
zins now, Yeah, Like I had neuroplasticity them the other day.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
One is doing Zen's on a on a golf course.
I just did it, just to do it. They were
sitting there in front of me. My buddy was.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Did you feel like your mind was working faster?

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I felt a little off as actually for a few minutes,
and then then it came back around. Yeah, just for
a few minutes. Though nobody would have known. I linked
up against a counter.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
There is a uh And I just want to preface
anything I say right now, but this is probably not true.
All right, most things you see on social media are
not fact check true or have any evidence behind them.
There's this doctors like claiming that nicotine is like the
wonder drug that we've been missing forever and it would
cure everything. It's like every time he's like, oh yeah,

(22:32):
like cancer, nicotine can cure that, I'm like, what is
this guy saying? But it does lend itself to like
this cult following of Zen's and like every every person
who does them's like, oh yeah, it's making me healthier,
it's making me smarter, it makes my brain work faster,
neuroplasticity is what people would say.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
So what's the difference between a zin there's no tobacco.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
Okay, yeah, I already knew you were going with that.
There's there's no tobacco.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I had a coffee flavor. It was really good. Opened Like.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
He was going to say, like a lip bandit or
he was going to say some stupid phrase for what
he calls. What were we going to say that?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
No?

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I just you know what the difference between that and
pillow hogs leg? Yeahs leg horseshoe.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
You know this is how well I know. I've known
Jonas for so long. I know the setup. By the way,
can you tell us the one time how Lovey Smith
decided he was starting?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
I think I don't think you've heard this. So Lovey
Smith had Kyle Orton and Rex Gross camp. All right,
so he was deciding on who was going to start
a preseason?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
So how did that work out? What? What do you do?
Flipping coins? Uh?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Flip flip the coin? Was it best out of three?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
No?

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Just one time?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
No, I just needed one time figure out and got
the start and ultimately got the job.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, that's how that went. Okay, it's a good store.
We'll dust that one off next training camp. That's a
that's a really good story.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
It's a great story. But you know what though, what well,
let's let's get to something that I think it's more
important to talk about it. Okay, depending the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
They're here to remind you that help is a long game,
and screening for prostate cancer is easier than ever I said.
Blood tests can lead to the better treatment options and
better outcomes. Learn more at depend dot com.

their lives, I certainly would. You know, I'm going to
get paid. You got to pay me to do that
dirty work. You know, the dirty work. Do you feel
like you've done that enough to know what's in there?

Speaker 6 (24:46):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (24:48):
That is a very very interesting question. I have anything.
Thank you, Lorena, thank you, thank you for bailing me
out right there, because I'm just the one that's bold
enough to answer that candidly, which.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
I I really didn't want to see where that was.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, I can, I would candidly answer that. But thanks
for bailing me out. Lorraina.

It was good. It definitely was good. It's always nice
to be back man, being I still understand why you.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
Don't just move there for this period of time.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
You know, it's possible that that could happen. It's possible.
It's a lot of traveling, man, that's that's a lot
of traveling back and forth. But I do have a
daughter at Oregon that I want to see play too,
and I do like beach beach weather. When I woke up,
when I woke up on Sunday, Sunday night or Monday,
Monday morning, Monday morning, it was, it was. It was

(25:56):
just it's different. I can't. I can't live on the
East Coast ever again, maybe unless it's Miami, but I can't.
If it's not like where I'm at now. I don't
want to do it. I need motivation, So there you go,
get motivation that's out to stay college. Though. I love
State College and I love the way our people are
and all that good stuff. I love State College and

the Home Depot Pro. It's about time. Yeah. How about

(28:12):
the Tyreek Hill not being named a team captain by
the Dolphins?

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Huh? Just really about his divorce so disappointing. That's more
disappointing than Hell, that's more disappointing than anything. What's what's
a seventeen month marriage and he had to pay out
all of that? Hey, man, don't do it if you
ain't ready, And if you are ready, I'm sorry that

(28:36):
that whole You're not going to get a prenumptual like
that's gotta go. You gotta handle business where business is
like sad to say, maybe it's not sad to say.
I mean, you gotta protect yourself though, I mean, you know,
even with people that you would appear to want to
spend the rest of your life with, that ass can

(28:58):
change quick. Seventeen months, yes, it's not even it's not
even really two years. So I don't know, man, I
hope he can focus on playing ball. I'll tell you that,
because that takes a big chunk out of what he's
already worked to make. That's all she had to do. Huh,
was in the best seventeen months, A couple couple offspring

(29:21):
and and you good to go. Huh dang, a few threats,
you know. Also, it's a trap. Oh it's it's been
a trap from since history can since it told, I
mean Adam was the first one to be had. It's
been downhill ever since. I mean, yeah, by the way,
I think, I think because I ain't nobody ever won,

(29:47):
I know, not even in Greek mythology like Medusa one two, undefeated, undefeated,
never be beat for a reason. I think this gnat
or this fruitfly went into my coffin.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
It's a grass. I'm glad. I hope you got it.
It went into yours or mine. It was buzzing around here.
I hope you got it. Damn it, man, because it
was like buzzing around the face.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's disgusting. Yeah, Well, when you leave stuff laying around
that would attract those types of insects, that's just what's
going to happen. Yeah, it's too bad. Somebody used my
headphones too, Q and I came in here and I
keep my my mic cover. I'm assuming they probably use
my mic cover too, and then just put it back.
So now I got to find a new place to

(30:30):
put my belongings. So if for some strange reason, somebody
who comes in here and uses this studio, you can't
find those same headphones or that that you know that
might cover. That was my headphones, that was my mic cover.
And not saying you're a dirty individual, I'm just saying,
can can you use your own items and not go

(30:52):
into the drawer where the items that I placed there
are clearly placed there as my items don't touch them.
It's my mind covers my head. It's that. Can you
just not touch my ass?

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Plse, Lee, aren't you supposed to be watching this stuff, Like,
aren't you supposed to be the one?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
If I gave it to Lee, Lee would take it
to delivery Wednesdays and they would be using it at karaoke.
So I don't want to give it to Lee either.
I'm starting to try to figure out, like do I
just take my stuff with me? I guess. I guess
the lazyness in me says leave that, leave it here.
But I guess I need to start taking my stuff.
I could probably get you a locker. Got kleptos in here, man? Yeah,

(31:29):
you get them a locker.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
Get you a locker. Where's there a locker? It's other
side of the studio. Okay, so you'd have.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
To wuy the vending machines. Oh okay, yeah, get your snack.
I would never get a snack from this building. Oh,
however I do get coffee, So there's that. I don't know.
I just feel conflicted, like because I want to say,
I feel violated, like it's inappropriate to use somebody up,
Like would you use my jockstrap? You know what I mean? Like,

(31:58):
come on, man, be a little loose. Yeah, what that
ghat's leg parlay?

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Yeah, that's that's unfortunate, But I wish Lee would have uh,
would care enough to look after your mic doesn't.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Need Lee to care about himself. First. Let's start there,
could work down the list. He looks great. When does
he have to start at sobriety? You guys should know this.
I tried. I asked him yesterday. I said, are you
gonna go? You're gonna lick the lid?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
And he said, no, man, I'm really trying to, you know,
really trying to do this Micah Parsons thing, right, you know,
because that was the that was a big story. If
the packers get Micah Parsons, he's gonna he was trying
to put the bottle down.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
So Lee had to go yesterday. I mean I did
not have a drink yesterday. I tried to. I'm trying
to wreck my brain to think, Yeah, no, I did not.
It shouldn't be that hard. You think he's gonna go
through withdrawal, and what do you think that withdrawal will
look like?

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Hold on, what about Saturday and Sunday?

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Lee, I didn't have a drink Sunday? I did it.
I did have a few drinks Saturday. Now you dragging
Sunday Bra I did not. I don't believe you. Yeah,
that's the only problem. See, here's the only problem we're
going to have unless we get and we're going to

(33:14):
order it. We gotta order it. We got an Amazon
Amazon a breath of Lazar tests and we got a
breath or lasm every single breath the lies or him
every single time we come in here. Yeah, every single time. Yeah,
live on the air, live like a check my gosh,
I'll order it on Amazon right now.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
That actually would be a great segment.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
I love this idea, Like, yeah, because you're a liar, Yeah,
Lee's b A C.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
We'll do it. We'll do at the last segment of
every hour. Lease b A speci if it goes up
throughout the show, Lee, what was it? What was your
b A C? Goes up throughout the show? All of
a sudden the first out of the third hour, you're
like high in the third.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Hours to say, there's cops in the parking lot waiting.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
What do you what do he leaves just do radio?
Oh my god, leave forty dollars. Let's do it at all, Yeah,
leave only pink Lee, only forty dollars. But your career
in jeopardy can't wait. Why would he put his career
in jeopardy? If if Lee hasn't lost his bro if
Lee hasn't lost his job due to substance abuse, now

(34:22):
that's just not going to happen.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
It's a valid point.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
I mean, come on, all I'm saying is let's get
one and let's it will be fun. Yeah, because you're not,
we can't take your word. That's the sad thing, Lee,
is that we can't take your word for it because
you lie.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
What did people used to say back in the day,
would help? You have to like suck on a a
penny or something, because the copper or something that's supposed
to throw it off.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Really, I remember people like that.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Tricksy.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
You're right, You're yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
I don't think it was no that would have been
a penny, that was been a nickel. I think it
was a penny. I think it was a copper, which
then I haven't made him copper anymore.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
So they're worth money now. You get a hold of
them type of coins.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
You get some cash from crazy one cent you could
get you could get money more than one cent from money.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
That's one cent. Oh, I got a bunch of my truck. Well,
you should take a look because if they're real, like
if it's real silver, yeah, or real pinnacles, yeah, you
could get like ten to twenty dollars.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
For people being melting that stuff down.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
I had a bumb come up to me and asked
me to buy him a case of beer, and his
trade off to me was to give me a quarter.
And I looked at it and I almost did it,
Like I almost felt, lady, they still have the quarter.
He still got it. If that joint is like nineteen,
like early nineteen, like you know, nineties or eighties or seventies, like,

(35:48):
chances are you could get money for that quarter.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
By the way, having the balls and the bomb to
approach you, it's like, hey, man, see this quarter, it's
worth twenty dollars.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
That's where you miss the opportunity to have a grassroots movement.
And you could have got him some stix to the ale.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
I got him some. I got him some liquor. I
ain't gonna lie. I got him some. I got him
a six pack. Hey, I got you, Yeah, I got
got you.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Got you.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
He was older than me, though, What did you get him?
I think he got like six pack of oduels? No,
drink up. I don't. I don't remember what it was. Yeah,
but I did get I did hook him up.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
You can't sleep on that, man, don't sleep on the
six of the ale Go Sleep starts with a good mattress.
LeVar and I trusted mattress firm experts to find the
perfect mattress from their prereroom selection for the great sleep
you deserve as a mattress firm during the best sale
of the year that makes sleep easy.

Speaker 1 (36:41):

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Lee de Lapp has a legitimate I heard for it.
Apparently Lorena does as well. They do everything together these days, Lee,
you gotta get that looked at. Man.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Yeah, I thought about going to urgent care yesterday, might
have to go today, but I had drafts to take
care of yesterday, so I wasn't going to miss that.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Tell the people.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
I got stung by a bee on Sunday. And it's
been a long time since I've been stung by a bee,
and I don't know, but right now.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's pretty swollen. I got stung on my arm. I
saved the bee.

Speaker 5 (38:18):
Is the thing is, I saved it from the pool
and made friends with it, and I put it well, No,
because then I accidentally killed it.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
I forgot that. I put it on my towel.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Uh, and then I accidentally got stung.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I do know that their stingers come out when they
sting though, Yeah, yeah, and it kills them. So you
didn't save the bee, That's what I mean. Then I
killed it accidentally after making friends with it. It stung
you after that? Yeah, yeah, no, I saved it, saved
it from inside the pool. I put it all. I
hung out with it for a minute, and then it
stung you. Put it on the towel, and then I

(38:50):
forgot about them.

Speaker 5 (38:51):
And then I put my hand on the towel and uh,
and well my arm and it got me.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
So at the stinger point, Lee's got what would you say.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Like a like four inch red mark in all directions.
His arm is swollen like his forearms. And now it's
swollen on the other side of the arm too. Oh yeah,
the whole the whole forearm is swollen. It's all very tight,
clumps style. It's it's very disgusting. It's very tight. It's
hard to bend and very repulsion.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
Like if you had elephant titus on your arm. Correct,
And this has been going on two days now. But
Lorena isn't far behind because she's got like polka dot
like mosquito bites on her leg. It's so and she's
scratching them, and that that that's the worst thing to
do is to scratch them, you know. So there you go,
there's Lorena and Lee doing their things. Yeah we did,

(39:45):
Yeah you did, Yeah you did.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
I mean, what if this is withdrawals though, Lee? What
if he didn't actually get stung by a bee.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
I just I do have the sweats, and I was
trying to figure out which one it was.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
For you shaking when you woke up. No, it was
not shaking, but the sweats were there. You might have
not have known you were shaking. But if you got
cold sweats, Lee, then that means you definitely are going
through You have not not drank that longly, like you're
not going through withdrawal. Yea, they have kicked an Okay,
let's just be clear on that.
