this new thirty for thirty documentary film, False Positive, which details reynolds fight
to clear his name and redefine hislegacy. It premieres tomorrow, Tuesday,
June eleventh, at four pm Pacificon ESPN and streaming on ESPN Plus.

(01:46):
Joining me now on the show isButch Reynolds. Butch is good to see
you this evening. How you doing, sir, good? Good? How
you feeling mode? I'm doing well. I've been looking forward to this conversation
because I had followed your life andcareer and the sport more generally over the
year. But before we get there, I want to ask you about this.
There was this kid from Akron,Ohio named Lebron James that everyone knows

(02:07):
about. But before Lebron James,there was this other kid from Akron,
Ohio who put Akron on the map. Tell me about how Akron fits into
your life and athletic story. Boy, Aklan was the start of course pee
weet football all up until high schoolplaying basketball. I was the two star
from football to basketball, never reallyconcentrated on track as well. But Aclan,

(02:30):
you know, my parents was fromAklin. They was wherever factory workers.
My mom was a caregiver, sothat was the true process of hard
work, herd blue collar family thatmigrated from the South up to here for
more opportunities. And my dad andmy mom wanted to make sure that my
brother and I and his sister hadthe education, had the knowledge and experience
to take that to wherever we wantedto go. For me, it was

(02:52):
the Olympics. When did you knowor when did someone tell you that you
were special as a track athlete?Question? And once again growing up was
not track and field. But whenI went to my junior college in Kansas,
a coach there and I didn't wantto go to drink roget first,
but that was the best move andthe blessing of them all, because he's

(03:13):
the one that gave me the signthat says forty three point twenty nine seconds.
You know, butch Reynolds world recordholder, and he said, but
put this in your dorm room becauseyou can beat this. You are special,
you can you can do this.So when he's the one that saw
that, I didn't see it inmyself. I didn't know who set the
world record. I had no ideawhat the world record time was at the

(03:34):
time. And I put that picturein my in my dorm and took it
to my apartment wherever I moved,I took that same sign and I had
that same sign up. And that'swhat gave me the goal of the dream
or the commitment to do it,I would say. And I was a
kid back there growing up in thenineteen eighties. Early the mid nineteen eighties,
there was a change in the perceptionof track and field events. There

(03:57):
was a worry and concern that illegalsubstances were being used by a number of
athletes, not just in track andfield, but inclusive of track and field.
And I remember back to when Canadiansprinter Ben Johnson admitted that he was
cheating when he was in the Olympicsat outside of that, take me back
to that time, the late nineteeneighties and early nineteen nineties, what was

(04:18):
the feeling or what was the environmentsurrounding track and field and the use of
the legal performance enhancing substances. Youknow, I was green when I came
into track and field world. WhenI said to the world record at Justin
was track me It was thirty twodegrees outside. I ran in forty four
ten and that's what put me ontothat scene. I was when I said

(04:39):
green, I was didn't understand thepolitics. I didn't understand how big track
and field was in Europe. Sothen when I did that race, I
went to Europe for the first timewith Edward Moses, and that's when I
saw what track and field was about. That's when I was like, oh
my god, this is a thirtyforty fifty thousand arena and it was packed
and it was like, you know, pushing us around like with celebrities,

(05:00):
you know, in and out ofcrowds and signing autographs, press conferences.
It was like amazing. So Isaid, you know what I can do
this. You know, I startedtraining harder, start being more focused,
and I said the world record.It really put me. I went from
twenty thousand dollars race to one hundredthousand dollars race. I was a marquee.
I was a marquee name. Theyloved the you know, the chrisma.

(05:21):
They loved me being able to talkto their sponsorship. They love for
me to be able to sign autographsand do interviews. You know a lot
of you know, celebrities come throughtruck and field. They wasn't doing that.
You know, I'm not dropping nonames. They wasn't doing that.
And it was easy for me.I liked doing it, and they saw
that I was doing it, theysaid, oh we can do this,

(05:41):
so they was paying me more todo more of that. I'm not going
to give it all the way.I want people to tune in to see
False Positive starting tomorrow on ESPN andESPN Plus at four pm. But there
was a negative, excuse me,a positive test which came back and you
disputed it. You said you havenever done any type of illegal substances.
Very quickly. What happened which ledto that moment? You know, I

(06:05):
took a drug test and Monte Carloand they came back, they say positive
and I deny the accusation then,and what happened really is that the laboratory,
the lab technician made a mistake.He circled the wrong number that had
the positive drug tests. When theyfound that out, you know, they
tested to be. But before theytested to be, they told the world,

(06:28):
and then they tested be, theysaid, oh man, we got
a problem here. That's when thecover up came into play. Cover didn't
come into play. It was asimple mistake at first, but then the
cover up came when they figured outthat they made a mistake. Did we
ever find out who the correct hsample was tested and who tested for positive?
We have an idea, but wenever know. And once again,

(06:50):
that's not what I'm here to,you know, put anybody else down or
open up anybody else's can of worms. We know that it wasn't mine,
it was someone else. And thedocumentary kind of leads to that a lot
too, and they pretty much saywhat they think it was not by name,
just by affiliations, so you knowthat they know. The Federation always

(07:14):
know who's doing what. I'm curiousyou did successfully sue. You were awarded
some twenty seven million dollars in judgmentyou've had a degree of recompense and compensation
for what had happened, But younever received that money, did you.
Well, I never receive the pennyof it. And that was the most
tragic moment as well. Because you'refighting for the system, you fight to

(07:36):
use the system. And I didthat all the way. They keep telling
people and telling myself and other people, use the system, don't go beyond
the system. I used the process. I used the system, and at
the end of the day, Idid not receive my twenty seven million dollars,
and I was still face with thefalse positive drug test. I was
still faced with the embarrassment. Iwas still faced with no income. I

(07:59):
was still faced with no way tomake income the way I was making it.
Before you go from twenty thousand dollarsrace to one hundred thousand dolls the
race, that's a big drop offto go to zero. First, let
me just say belated happy birthday tillyou. You just turned sixty on Saturday,
though, thank you. The OlympicGames Paris is upon us. What
does the older wiser butcher Rentals thinkabout the sport that he loved so much

(08:20):
back then? If and when youshould tune in for Paris. You know,
my feelings is sometime in mixed emotions. I'm not going to tell you.
You know, this is what itis. It's mixed emotions. Why
wouldn't it be you know, thatcrushed me. That was not the best
time of my life. It wasa tragedy moment I set the world record
in Zorich, Swisserland. Yeah,I just said it. In an Olympics.
I won gold medals in the Olympics. So you know, it's like,

(08:41):
you know, it's a bittersweet.I do watch at times, but
I don't tune in like it's thesuper Bowl. I don't tune in like
it's the you know, the WorldSeries or something like that, though,
and I used to, you know, when I ran. And of course,
let me just ask you a quicky aswer. No question is track
and feel by large clean or dirty? Today? Clean false positive. The

(09:03):
new ESPN thirty for thirty documentary premieerestomorrow, Tuesday, June eleventh, and
four pm Pacific on ESPN and streamingon ESPN Plus. Butich Reynolds, I
appreciate your candor, I support youin your fight, and I wish you
nothing but wellness as you continue onWell Kelly, I appreciate you, Thank
you very much, God bless you, my man. You're listening to Later
with Moe Kelly on demand from KFIAM six forty. Bad Boys four overperformed,

(09:31):
exceeded expectations, obviously was number one. The budget for the movie was
only one hundred million. I sayonly because it's rare that a movie,
especially an action movie, eclipses itsbudget in the first weekend, and Bad
Boys for Life worldwide brought in onehundred and five million, brought in fifty

(09:54):
six million domestically, forty eight millioninternationally. It is a hit by every
measure, and I think it wasa litmus test for Will Smith whether he
could deliver for a summer movie.And I've been very critical of him.
I said that his brand was goingto take a hit. I felt it

(10:15):
did. He lost out on someprojects, he lost opportunities, but he
wasn't canceled. If he ever left, he's back, and whoever had misgivings
against him. It didn't impact thebox office. But for me, this
is just more evidence that you're nevercanceled. You may be criticized, you
may have to take a step back, from public view for a while,

(10:37):
which he did. I still feelthe same way about the slap of Chris
Rock, adamantly against how was handledby not only Smith but the Oscars.
But you can't deny the success andthe power of his stardom, which is
not faded. His star has notfaded yet, not in the way that

(11:00):
people thought it was going to afterthe Oscar slap. So more evidence cancel
culture does not exist. There wasa timeout. Now his timeout is over
and he's back. He's doing moresocial media. He did a full on
press tour around the world. Wasn'tlike they were hiding him. He was
out there. Now. Were theyallowed to ask him about the slap?

(11:20):
Probably not. I know how thisbusiness works. If you're going to get
an interview with Will Smith, you'renot going to get the opportunity to ask
him the question about Chris Rock.You're just not But he wasn't penalized for
it. Go ahead, Mark Well. I was just reflecting on my own
interviews with people like Robert Downey Junior, and I wouldn't accept an interview with

(11:41):
preconditions like that. You'd have tobe a real hack interview Will Smith and
agree not to ask about the mostprominent thing of recent years in his life.
But you know, that's how thebusiness works. You don't tell me
that he went through a whole BadBoys for Life tour and nobody thought to
ask him. Nobody. I mean, that's almost like it like entertainment interviews

(12:01):
one on one when it comes tothe entertainment Tonight and outlets like that,
the red carpets and the stepping repeatsand all that, they give you a
list of questions to ask, andwe know that just from all the years
of comic con, all the rulesand regulations we receive, Can you give
us this ahead of time? Andmost of the time we say no.
We typically do say no to anyany interview where there are conditions, And

(12:26):
that is why we don't get thelikes of a Will Smith or something like
that, because we don't. Whenthey say what are you going to?
What questions you're gonna ask? Allwe tell them is the interview will focus
on this thing, and that's it. We don't do gotcha questions, But
no, we don't. We don'ttake those. But I'm sure that's the
case. Well, and it's oneof those situations where entertainment journalist becomes a

(12:46):
real oxymoron. Well, it's ait's a weird dance because I can say
here the subjects I want to coveror give them a list of questions.
But my interview style is I'm goingto ask a question. I may know
my first question, but my nextquestion is going to be connected to that
answer. You know my ass Sohow have you been Will Smith for the

(13:07):
past two years since the controversy?And he says, all my life went
to hell and everything. What areyou talking about? Pfirst, professionally,
personally, I'm going to listen tothe answer, and then that informs my
next question. Meaning I don't knowwhere the conversation is going to go.
I suppose it just it's it's frustrated. I mean, lucky for us,
we now know that you can assaultsomebody. You can go berserk and violently

(13:31):
assault somebody on live TV in frontof maybe a billion people, and you'll
be okay, Will Mark. Foreveryone we have Mark. This This is
what I keep telling you, islike you have this this view of humanity
or this belief that that individuals holdthis this world and this esteem that you
do. And I told you longtime ago this was not gonna last.

(13:52):
No one's gonna care. There's avery first hit that Will Smith puts out.
They will be back in good graces. He is. He did.
He did a couple of low budgetthings. He did the slave movie,
which I will never watch because Idon't watch slave movies. He did,
and after that he did not.He didn't do anything else in television.
But all he did was music stuff. He was on tour with his son,

(14:16):
he was doing Coachelle. He washanging out, laying low. But
you know what he was also doing. He was producing things like this right
here. Bad Boys for is aOverbrooke Will Smith production on the top he
is. This is all him.Cobra Kai, the new series which is
in production is about to drop.That's all him. The new Cobra Cobra

(14:39):
Kai movie, That's all him.He hasn't gone anywhere. He's just been
quietly making money. And I cantell you. I can tell you for
a fact because I've seen this film. This film is worth the trip to
the theaters if you are a fanof Bad Boys, this movie takes it
to another level. The theater wasmore packed on a Sunday night than it
was for Fury, and every singleperson in the theater was laughing, they

(15:03):
were clapping, they were cheering.People were walking out there like I can't
wait to see that again. Metoo, because it was a good ass
movie. Especially it's a perfect moviefor the summer, perfect summer movie.
I have two things to say.Number One, you didn't invite me to
the movie. Number two, that'snot true. Thanks for not inviting me.

(15:24):
He did not want to see that, that's right. Shame. Wait,
shame, shame, shame. Areyou about to sit here and lie
you wanted to go? No,I'm not letting him throws because he was
like, oh, I'm gonna besick that day. I'm just saying that

(15:45):
he didn't have a plan going intothe weekend that we You had bought tickets
earlier for a showing that we wereall going to go to. Then then
that you were included. That's thewhole point. That was all scrapped.
So we were down to Tabula Rossaand you decided to go by yourself.
So you know what I said,I said, I will get tickets for
next weekend. You know what yousaid. I didn't even say the day.

(16:07):
All you said was I'm gonna besaying could be sick on call.
Well, you know, you stillwant to be asked. See, just
like chopon July fourth, he's notcoming to Chateau Limo. Just want to
be asked, all right, AndI asked him, and you can go
ahead and tell me after the fact, he goes, well, I wanted
to go. I would have beenthere if someone would have invited me.

(16:27):
Thinking that we don't have like tothink all the podcast, basic memory's feeling
kind of sore. See that's whathe said. Not letting get away with
that one. No, no,no, let me let me just I
know we got to go to breakin a second. But the fact that
Furiosa has become a colossal failure andthis movie, which looks so mediocre to

(16:51):
me that I don't even know howyou could review it, this movie has
become a massive success. Like Ilike I've said a couple of times before,
it just just bring on the media. We don't deserve to live not
Look, this film does what moviesare supposed to do, especially during the
summer. It gives you high comedy, it gives you over the top action,
and it continues the story. Again. If you're a fan of the

(17:11):
Bad Boys, franchise. This ismore of the same, and it's just
the next level. That's what you'resupposed to do for the sumner Mark has
it backwards. He wants movies tobe lauded for their merit and then rewarded
accordingly. No movies are for entertainment, and then we ascribe merit after the
fact was entertaining. Yeah, butyou would find you in higher regard.

(17:37):
See Stephan He he won't let thatgo. You know, he's going to
come back to a long time.Yeah, but Furiosa. From a movie
standpoint, I haven't seen Bad Boysfor Life yet. Furiosa. Probably from
a visual standpoint and movie production standpoint, it's probably superior to Bad Boys for
Life, probably, absolutely, absolutely, But it doesn't mean that our level

(18:00):
of enjoyment is going to be thesame. And I'm not going to do
a whole movie industry standard to somesort of ridiculous standard because some people can't
separate the art from the artistry.Will Smith, the guy who walked up
on that stage and hit Chris Rock, it's the same guy who's in the
movie. And I can intellectually compartmentalize, all right, I can still enjoy

(18:22):
the Bad Boys movie and still say, will that was fed up what you
did to Chris Rock And I don'tthink you should have gotten a free pass.
Oh well, in that case,I can't wait for us to go
to our next Liam Neeson movie.Yeah, well that's Twallet. You have
to talk to him. He's theone who has to hang up. Oh
okay, he has to hang upon Liam Neeson. If Liam Neeson did
a movie worth more than just aB and B for Booty, this dude

(18:45):
is doing trash ass films. Okay, what if he showed up as the
bad guy the villain and Bad Boysfive, I would still see it.
I see it because he would diea horrible depths because that's what they do,
the villains. Look at the time, can if I am six forty.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. When we come back, we
got cicadas in Chicago with STDs andtheir genitals are falling off. We're to

(19:08):
that part of the program now,No, Mark, serious, that's the
real start. I need a minute. Okay, you need we need like
some hold music for Mark. Allright, go ahead, Kelly, We're

(19:29):
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.I'm gonna start with you, Mark Ronner,
Can I get you to promise thatthis next story you will handle with
maturity? I will give it exactlythe appropriate amount of maturity that it requires.
Okay, Stefan, let me justask you. I need to get
you on the record as well.Can I get you to promise that you

(19:52):
will if you should offer any typeof commentary or jump in the conversation,
that you'll do so in a maturefashion. I promise. Okay, Twalla
Sharp, Can I get you topromise as well that when we start discussing
this very serious issue, you won'ttake it to some juvenile place. Yes,
that's not a good sign. That'sa serious question. Cicadas in Chicago

(20:18):
are expected to become infected with thesexually transmitted disease that is said to turn
them into zombies and also cause theirgenitals to fall off. This is according
to WGN in Chicago, one ofthe largest television stations in the country.
According to WGN, a white funguscalled Masospora skadina is what affects male cicadas

(20:45):
and causes the issues. The fungusonly targets thirteen and seventeen year periodical cicadas
According to the University of Connecticut,the illness turns infected cicadas into zombie insects
that spurs more fungus by causing malesinfected with Stage one to produce wing flicked

(21:07):
signals as if they were females,making them highly attractive to cicadas of both
sexes who you like. I mean, well, not only that, not
only that, I think it's reallyreally interesting how it is the teenage cicadas,

(21:27):
thee year old who are getting theNo, it's the seventeen year olds.
Cicadas. They come in periods ofthings. They do what they they
appear they are in thirteen and seventeenyear cycles. Yeah, that's essentially a
thirteen to seventeen year old. They'renot thirteen years old and seventeen years in

(21:49):
cicada year, that's what they're saying. That's literally what that means. In
cicada years. Not talking human years, Jesus, we're talking cicada years.
These are teenage and cicadas who areout there getting their freak on, spreading
this this STD zombie like thing that'scausing you know, all types of issues.

(22:10):
Personally, I did not know thatcicadas had genitals. Yes they do.
I don't look, I don't knowhow they reproduce they get their figure.
You never heard ada style. Well, just a point of clarification here
for a cicada. If a cicadagets VD, did they call it the
chirps? I asked you before westarted this subject whether you would be able

(22:36):
to approach it in a mature fashion. I'm trying to be serious journalist.
I'm saying what I did not know. I did not know that insects had
genitals in the sense of appendages thatwould fall off. It's not like Ron
Jeremy of cicadas, Okay, Jesus, I mean it's proportional. I mean

(23:02):
and actually when you think about it, when you think of of what if
a dude gets like one of theseSTDs, your junk will also fall off.
And what what bothered me is thefact that they could get this disease.
Not only do their genitals fall off, everybody wants to get with them,
Yeah, everybody, because they comebecome attractive to everybody. Think about

(23:26):
you losing your manhood and you walkinto a room after you lose your manhood
and everybody in the room wants apiece of you. So it's like prison.
Jeez, Look, this is literallylike that. Like when we were
young, Mo and we were outin the club, and you know,
if you saw someone who was really, really fly, you know, when

(23:49):
you're young before you know easy andmagic Johnson, we didn't care. We
didn't care. And then guess wherewe were at in the clinic. I
don't know if young's a kada walkingaround. I don't know what you're talking
about. I do not know whatyou're talking about. All I'm saying is
I've known a few young cicadas whoare out there hot, who are out

(24:10):
there hot to try. I don'tthink this is that though. Who wants
to watch some odds? That wasa very good TV show. It was
disturbing. It's as disturbing as this. It's not as disturbing as this.
It's not as disturbing as I didn'tknow that the insects could catch their own
brand of STDs. Yeah, it'sdisturbing, But simultaneously it's kind of interesting

(24:33):
because it's like I didn't know thateither, Dean. You didn't ever think,
like, how did these cicadas spreadso quickly? But like rabbits,
they're getting their freak on they're attackingpeople. I'm not I'm not even mad
at the fact that these things arespreading some level of zombie play because birds

(24:55):
eat these things. We don't knowif cicadas end up in our our food
sources and they're spreading some levels.We look some cultures they eat insects.
That cicada's not me, not myhousehold. I can't speak for Stephan's household
remarks, but we don't do insects. Well, I'm not going to pass

(25:15):
judgment on any bug chasers in thiscase. Yeah, this is the first
time in two hundred and twenty twoyears that the two broods, the thirteen
year and the seventeen year periodicals,will be above ground at the same time.
So it could be like Cicada Festtwenty twenty four, little cicada freakneck.
Yeah, it could be like woodcicada. It's like the Cicada AVN

(25:38):
convention. It's like Cochella cata,Coachella cata. Yeah, all these teenage
cicadas out there getting their freak on, spreading venereal diseases and now the stuff
falling off. This is actually howparents need to address the birds and bees

(25:59):
talks with kids. Nowadays, youwant to be like a cicada. What
stuff to fall off? Keep goingout there? I wonder what the life
cycle of a cicada is. Hmmm, like how long your lifespan? Excuse
me, I mean three or fourweeks, three or four weeks. Think
of it this way. You gotthree to four weeks to do everything you
want to do in life. Everythingthree to four weeks. And let's say

(26:23):
the first week out you get youget the disease, you get to the
chirps, and so the next twoweeks of your life you can't do anything
about it except be the object ofsomeone else's desire. It doesn't say that
that stops them from getting with them, though. It doesn't say that,
you know, if one cicada seesanother cicada with this horrible it doesn't say

(26:44):
that they stop, they get protectionanything. No, I've said, But
if your stuff falls off, you'rekind of a bystander at that point.
Now we don't know when it fallsoff. Does it fall off in the
process. He's not wrong. Yeah, it doesn't say that they can't do
it. Just is there a goodtime? Is there a less awful time?
I guess maybe in the act,maybe not under any obligation to inform

(27:10):
anybody, are they? I guessnot? Excuse me? Has your stuff
falling off? You? Itching,burning, scratching while you're an eaty?
I can imagine it, Like,look at that cicada. They got that
thing, they got that chirp,They sold that pretty well. It's almost

(27:33):
like he's making an analogy for hisreal life. I don't think he's acting.
I don't think. No, they'vebuzzed. They don't they like,
yeah, you have been off tolike palm springs. They have large I
don't want to call it the infestation, but whatever groups of cicada, if

(27:53):
they got the SDD, it isan infestation. Wow, filthy cicadas.
Well, I don't eat cicadas.I don't have to worry about that.
If you don't know. No,that's why I don't even eat the cricket,
said, Manda was trying to giveyou mel cicada. You might never
mind. That was almost halfway mature. You almost made it all the way
through that without making some juvenile sexualizesinappropriate joke having to do with venereal disease.

(28:21):
You almost made it through. Markdidn't do as well well. In
all fairness, some of them reallydon't want to be eaten. I don't
leave that one alone. I hada comeback for that. Crickets Cicada.
What's the difference? Can If Iam six forty, we'll talk to George,
Nor if he'll talk to us,then no chance. I don't think

(28:41):
this is gonna happen, but we'llask him anyway, can't I am six
forty. It's later with mokel Theywere alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Be sure to check out the podcasttonight for anything you might have missed.

(29:02):
Some very funny moments, some veryinappropriate moments that are all in the podcast.
Coming up next to be Coast toCoast AM with George Nori, who
joins me right now with the preview. Good evening, sir, Hello mister
Kelly, looking forward to the week. How about you? I am I
didn't have much of a weekend.I was out of town on some family
business. But it's good to beback in the saddle. Well. Great,
We've got a great show tonight dealingwith all kinds of magical energy on

(29:26):
Coast to Coast. That's all I'llsay. Listen in Oh now, that's
the tease. You're just not gonnalet us know. You're gonna make us
wait. We gotta wait. Sotonight it's right, okay, I'm sending
you a box of cicadas for yourbirthday. That's messed up. That's messed
up. Please make sure they don'thave any STDs. At least I hope
they get there with them. Twodays will be dead. They'll be dead.
That's the best con right now.I thought you were my friend,

(29:48):
George by George Well before we getout of here along those lines. After
Nick Cannon game show host Nick Cannon, he is back in the news.
Nick Cannon the father of twelve childrenby six different women. I have long

(30:12):
criticized him for his sexual pathology.That's what I call it, his behavior.
And I said, it's not afunction of whether he can raise enough
money or be wealthy enough to givemoney to the different mothers of his children.
I think fatherhood is about being present, being available. But you can't

(30:33):
shame those who are shameless, andNick Cannon is shameless. There's nothing he
won't do for a dollar. There'snothing he won't do that won't exploit his
children. And here's the latest andat the risk of promoting what he's doing.
I'm going to use him as afoil and a reason to talk about
this, because there is something seriousto this. Nick Cannon has now started

(30:59):
endorsing Doctor Squatch's intimate grooming line.Doctor Squatch is the brand, and he
also used Doctor Squatch's ball valuation tool, which assesses factors like size and sexual
prowess. And according to him andI guess also, Doctor Squatch earned the

(31:22):
title of most Valuable Balls. Allegedly, this men's grooming brand collaborate collaborated with
Cannon and secured an official insurance policyto protect his balls, valued at ten
million dollars. Now that doctor Squatchhad insured my bass for ten million dollars,

(31:45):
I've officially got the most valuable ballsin the world. Nif Cannon's golden
balls are single handedly keeping the humanpopulation of wealth. He's fathered twelve children
that he knows of. Smooth gamegets you nowhere without smooth balls and nats

(32:05):
For that, I trust Doctor Squatch. Put your balls in our hands.
A little on the nose, Alittle bit on the nose, the nose,
yeah, yeah, I'll go withnose here, gotta go a little
lower. We'll see that's the thing. He won't. There is no bottom
to what Nick Cannon will do toexploit himself. But the problem is when

(32:29):
he does it and by extension,exploits his children, he's exploiting the fact
and monetizing the fact that he's hadabsolutely no type of real responsibility when it
comes to fathering these children. That'sthe serious point. And whether he actually
got a lot of money for thisor his his genitalia is insured to the

(32:49):
amount of ten million dollars. Idon't understand why you need to insure it,
because is he supposed to pop outor help pop out another ten kids,
what is he ensuring them against?Or if I'm taking this too seriously,
just too literally, Yeah you areuseIt's just like when Mary Hart got
her legs insured for a million bucks. Right, Oh yeah, yeah,
I remember that. I vaguely rememberthat same thing. Okay, Well,

(33:12):
you know he's well, I'll givethis to him. He has not fathered
any children to the best of ourknowledge this calendar year, to the best
of run knowledge. So I gotto look. I think there is one
in the oven. Oh, there'sone on the way. I'm not mistaken.
Okay, I got double check becauseI think, yeah, I think
there's someone who's like, I'm numberthirteen or something, and this is always

(33:34):
a difficult subject for me to coverbecause one of his baby's mothers is a
friend of ours, a personal friend. Yeah. Yeah, there's even been
a guest on this show. Butit sounds like it's not a super exclusive
club though. Well, I don'tknow. If you say you know six
different women that you know, that'sthat's a basketball team with one reserve,

(33:57):
and so it's not a baseball team. But it's it's a basketball team,
you know. It's it's just kindof icky. It's not like penguins mating
for life. No, not atall. And the story may be funny
games now, but give it afew years and the money starts getting a
little thinner. Yeah, it's notgonna be as funny. Now that doctor
Squatch has to show of my ballsfor ten million dollars, I've officially got

(34:22):
the most valuable balls in the world. Mith Kennon's golden balls are single handedly
keeping the human population of wealth.He's bothered twelve children that he knows of,
sures no shines of stopping. Smoothgame gets you nowhere without smooth balls.
To match. For that, Itrust, Doctor Squatch, put your

(34:44):
balls in our hands. And onthat note, k IF I am six
forty. We're live everywhere on theiHeartRadio app an independent voice in a world
full of retweets. And the KOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County live
everywhere on the younger radio in
