Greeks refer to testicles. Testicalis no the Greek word for testicles.
It's one of those words where you have to because

I'm not this well. Yeah, Greek travel you I talked
to you on the phone. You did. I opened up
a place that's very special to me. You did to you,
and you've you've mitiated upon it. You gave us some
suggestions and joy grease. Some of them we took, and
some of them we will take at a later time.
It's our first you know, visit out there. We want
(04:59):
alliance into the at world. I want to take it slow.
If you really had m nah, you would go, you'd
go up to Thessalon. I have no I will have
to go up to the I did talk to one guy.
I'll tell you. It's it's our buddy. I won't tell
you the name of the restaurant he owns, but it
rhymes with Mike's Chili parlor. And he's Greek and he
(05:19):
told us that yes is no and Noah is yes
with a nod. Is that accurate or is he pulling
my leg? Yeah? And well, just just speak. The word
for no in Greek is oh he o like o
X I gotcha. Just set me up, man, No, I'm
not yeah, you are yes, I'm not gonna have my
I'm not to ask your freaking phone, idiot. The word
(05:44):
for yes in Greek is nena. Yeah, like n e h. Well,
that's just dope. You know how like a fat chick
will go like mah instead A lot of people do that. Yeah,
well I like fat you do. Yeah, of course that's
matter with you. Data? Is your wife aware of that alone?
Because data looks great? By the way, Think you're right,
(06:05):
lucky bastard. You way, I'll kick your coverage. Man, holy
cow SONA is yes? No? No? All right? And no
is uh achna or something? Dude. Oh, I'm sorry, and
Oknah's testicles come na, don't say okna. That's that's not
(06:29):
a word and the word for gypsy. Yes, Why would
I need you know that? Because a gypsy in Greek
is anybody who's not Greek. Okay, so I'm a gypsy.
But oh yeah, no, you're You're a Jewish? Right, Yes,
I am? You're what like like Hebrewrael? Yeah, you're afraid.
(06:50):
You know, if you're talking about the Jews, you'd be like, yes.
So if I were to say I am a Jew
with big testicles, I would say what uh ivral megali
from not? I don't know. I can't put the words together.
I just know the different words for everything, right, don't know? Hey,
is there nothing going on? What the hell's going on here?
I don't know, Man, we're getting the four nine, four, five,
(07:11):
one two six talk sports. Oh god, well, I don't know.
I feel like I'm You're the one that started talking
about grease. That's your probably, I know, I feel bad.
I feel like I'm prepared now for our trip and
I might even lean on you some more. Hey, how
about Pete Carroll taking that Raiders job? Man, I'm happy
for Pete Carroll because he wanted to be a head
(07:32):
coach again. Obviously, clearly it's hard to believe because you know,
I mean my he's my dad's age, and I like
think about going over to my dad's house and like
shaking him out of his zero gravity chair at like
five o'clock at night and be like, you know, get
up dad. You know, we gotta hire a running back coach.
(07:52):
Do you think pizza then fall asleep in the sides
of hey, I mean obviously some people have. I mean,
I know a guy who's in his nineties who has
more energy than any of us, and he lives, you know,
he lives to travel, and he's been to Greece and
places we were talking about maybe twenty times, and he
travels the world constantly. Is one of the most remarkable
(08:12):
people I know. And you know, in all in all fairness,
I mean, we make fun of Pete all the time
because he's you do yeah, you never do. You don't
have a drop there where he's calling you frosty this one.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I feel sorry for frusty and.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You don't play the other drop when Hugh clowned him
and he got a butt hurt in a press conference,
and Hugh was ready to just drop it on him
and he knew, so he gave Pete a cold and
fish like handshake when he goes, hey, Hugh, where you've been, man?
You what's up? Man? Where you've been? It's been around
(08:49):
up man, where you've been? Just been around. I don't
sit here and tell me with your face that you
that you don't make fun of Pete care really don't though, Okay,
don't wait, that's correct. Yeah, because he's the king of
football in Seattle, we treat him with respect up here.
I know how to stop him from running around and
(09:10):
throwing the ball. What he did you see, Marshall was
on his press conference? Yeah, yeah, stop. I know how
to stop him from doing his whole throwing the ball
and how's that pass rush? Yeah? God? Really bringing the heat.
Sorry for you, Presty. Hey see, there you go. That's
(09:30):
what I was looking for. No, but look, it'll be
interesting because what I saw with Pete Carroll, I mean
I saw that Pete Carroll quite quickly was a cutthroat
professional football coach. Yes. Yeah, he came to USC under
a very different guys and created a great moment in
(09:51):
USC history with a great staff. And then suddenly it
became about what it is in pro football, survival and
climbing and credit and distributing credit and slashing throats including
Norm Jaws and many others, which was unsavory for me
to see, and which doesn't mean he's not a great coach.
(10:14):
It was just a different approach and a lot of
what was preached and what people bought into, you know,
was lip service. Then he went up to the NFL
with his knives out and had great success, brought generational
success to a whole group of people in Seattle for
a generation. So that's all great, you know, but I think,
(10:37):
you know, I think at a certain point, you know,
you get the eye rolling, there's a there's a bit
of a shelf life, so to speak. And you can
say that for any I mean, Phil Jackson said that
about himself, right, which is why it was time for
him to move on from here and go take that
message somewhere else. Right. It'll be interesting to see how
that works in Vegas and how it meshes with you know,
(10:59):
I'm mean, look who they're up against the division. I'm
not you know, I'm not going to sit here and
break down NFL football for you. You guys do it
a lot. I mean, that's not going to be easy. Yeah,
they don't leave that to us. Well, you guys have
a draft. For God's sake, you know, I was thinking
about that draft. Yeah, I was like, when do I
when is do I have the week off because of
(11:20):
the draft? You want to be on the mock draft?
You want to come, you can represent the Chargers. I
get everything wrong when it comes to the everybody does kidding?
You get one right out of the Yeah, they have
that running back. No, No, he's already he's been a
three team since. I was like, oh, sorry, you know,
I don't know. My point is they don't have a quarterback,
(11:42):
and they're up against every quarterback that you can think of,
and it's it's it's not an easy road. Uh, but
who's to say. I mean, the guy's had success literally
everywhere he went, other than the Jets situation, which which
ended abruptly and bitterly. Yeah, he won't games is last
year with the Patriots, I think they wanted to hire
(12:03):
Belichick and obviously they made the right move for their history. Uh.
And and he was bitter about that and had to
go back to college and built a dynasty. And now
he's you know, he's a he's gonna be a Hall
of Fame coach. What can you say, yeah likely, Yeah,
well I hope he does well in in Vegas, you know,
but on the track record's not great there. Track record
(12:26):
there is not great, correct, right, Yeah, well, nobody's won
there since Calahanato took the Raiders to the Super Bowl. Ruden,
you see it here with the Chargers, the team I'm
picking for in the Softy Dick draft, Jackson pick for Douvo.
How about that guy? Did you see that yesterday? I mean,
you know what Monday like, everybody made fun of Dan
(12:48):
Campbell for the kneecap chewing. Everybody made fun of Sirianni
for just looking like an Italian sausage dildo. Everybody, you
know what I mean, Like what everybody thought Staley. Everybody
thought Staley was like you know, GQ smooth and came
(13:09):
off so great. Oh my god, you know what I mean.
Don't forget we're lying. By the way, whatever I could
say that, I'm just saying you guys probably have commercials
for that. I'm just saying there's a big sex shop
right by the airport. I've been to c TAG. I'm
just reminding you that we're live, that's all. What do
you think people buy their softy. I don't know DVDs,
(13:29):
that's right. All I'm saying is, you know, you can't
judge a book by its cover as far as the
press press conference goes. But that guy, that guy did
seem like kind of a weirdo. I was up in
Pullman doing a game once and you know it was
it was, you know, not long ago, super long ago,
(13:50):
because I was practicing yoga and you know, I find it.
If there's a place without you know, with yoga, I'll
go in most college towns have yoga, so I'll go.
And I went to this yoga class in Pullman and
the guy who was teaching it was like totally normal.
It's like, hey, you know, twenty bucks whatever. And then
when the class started, just like that coach Cohen, he
(14:11):
started talking like a ghost, right. He was like whoao?
And I was like, well why what happened? And then
classes over he's like see you let gokugs. I was like, well,
why why did you become a ghost? Why did you
talk like that? You got the new guy Jimmy Rodgers
that got hired for in Pullman was is he from
South Dakota State? Is that right? Where's he from? I
(14:33):
don't know what school he was at. Yeah, one of
those schools he looks. You know what, that's what Dickard
is from, too right, It's like a coaching tree. You
gotta look. You ever see Canadian Bacon the movie? No? Okay,
well see Strange Bruise? Eh? Well he was the guy
that Jimmy Rodgers looks like is in Canadian Bacon. Oh well,
I'm so sendy a picture. Hey. Don't you think if
patriated about as well as the Blue Velvet reference had
(14:54):
made on Fox Sports Radio this morning? You hadn't seen
the movie, so it's not worth talking about. It's what
I'm saying. I mean, why do you do yourself a
favor and watch Canadian Bacon? John Candy, Stephen Wright. I'm
gonna forget We're live again. You're pushing me, you know. Uh,
don't you think if Patrick Mahomes wins in three peats
that he's better than Brady and Lebron and Jordan and
all those guys? Shut up? Like, come on, dude, can
(15:20):
we not talk about sports that way? I saw you.
It's so uninteresting. I saw you going after Nick right,
It's just it's not just him, And you know what
I mean, these guys have jobs and that's what they do.
They go in every day and some idiot producer in
a freaking quarter zip, you know, a Travis Matthew quarter zip,
(15:41):
handsome stack of papers and says, you know, here's what
we're gonna talk about. Who's the goat? God? I saw
your tweet. Why can't we stop talking about sports like this?
It says Jordan, all right, it's like, what excuse me? Well,
(16:01):
he's doing it to get people like you to react. Well,
and you did way to go. He took No. It
just needs to stop, like can we have can we
not have a more interesting conversation? Like there is an
interesting conversation to be had. There is a recent parallel,
and the parallel is the Patriots and Tom Brady because
when Tom Brady started for the Patriots and he was
(16:24):
spelling a great koog Drew Bledsoe, he was a game manager.
They were a wild defensive team with guys like Willie McGinnis,
and he was a he managed the game. You know,
they they were I mean, that's what you would say
today about what he did. And then they changed. They
had long receivers like Moss, they had short guys, and
(16:49):
like Welker that would and Amondola that would work their
way in that way, they evolved, their defense became less
and less in some ways, and back and forth. And
that's what's also happened with Kansas City. I know they
exploded with points in this last game, but throughout the year,
I mean, the reason they're winning games and everybody's like, well,
they're offensers, aren't goings. It's like, stop looking at stats.
(17:12):
They've become a more defensive team. Their play calling has changed,
They've You can't just have the same success doing the
same thing year in and year out and continue to dominate.
You have to change as people try to change to
stop you. And the Chiefs have done the best job
in the world of that's it. And that's a way
(17:33):
better thing than you can trying to compare apples to oranges. Yeah.
The stupid thing and the dumbest thing in the world
there we go, is to talk about football in that way.
That is analysis, baby, you know. And I'm just as dumb.
When I played football. I was out there like a
chicken with my head cut off, just getting knocked around
and walking back crooked to the sideline. It is absolute chaos.
(18:02):
You know, if you and and everybody sit and it
doesn't matter what level, but once you get to the
higher levels of football, you sit in meetings and you say,
we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this, we're gonna
do this, this and this, and when they do this,
we're gonna do this and then we're gonna come back.
And that everybody feels great about it. Hey, we're gonna
script our first twenty players, all right, hit them on this,
So we're gonna hit them on hi, hit them low,
(18:22):
and we're gonna get the ball to the X and
all that stuff. And then the game starts and it's
the chaos of the Civil War, Like it's like, oh god,
this guy got hurt. What are we doing? Who's the
second string kickoff guy? That guy's leg fell off? Like
it is chaos and you and the key to the
sport is finding a way to navigate through that. There's
(18:42):
eleven guys out there in a time, as you know,
and like twenty five thirty guys that play on an
offense or a defense, and we sit there and act
like circumstance doesn't rule. And because they couldn't find a way,
Josh Allen, you know, and is he not the goat?
It's just like Jesus Christ Almighty. I just tell you.
(19:05):
Through this entire Baltimore lost, and they talked more about
Baltimore leading into the Final four of the NFL than
they did about the games that were coming up. Wells,
there's been more talk about Buffalo losing and the calls
of the Chief Scott than the Eagles match up. But
there's a week. I'll be honest with you, the whole
entire time you're giving us that little commentary on football analysis.
(19:28):
I'm trying to remember the Greek word for testicles. Co'mak'm nah.
We gotta have the kum nah to change the way
we talk about sports. I'm not just a stupid fat
head and it's not gonna do anything. But I'm so
tired of like, they're smart people. They have access to
stories and to tell interesting stories. Isn't that better than
(19:49):
just sitting there every day and talking about who the
goat is? Yes, we're listening to Stephen A. Smith used
different inflections like what what are we doing? I don't know, man,
I just hope one day I have the hum nah
to do something different. On crack that's a good one.
You like that. Jimmy g poorn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo,
(20:13):
He'll just step They are trash hormable, I guess. I
mean you could say in a very rudimentary way what
he does his performance ord that's right, that's right. Yeah,
but everybody else, God, I get it. I'm just tired
of the lies. Tell a story, yeah, like how to
(20:33):
say testicles in Greek? Right, something interesting? Bring, Bring something
to the table that people can retain and actually balls right, balls?
All right, you're the man, great stuff, Thank you, and
we will talk in a week whatever. I miss you already,
all right, I'll tell you how to get around Athens
without getting stabbed. That's one of the no, it's one
of the safest cities. I love it, all right, see
(20:54):
you man. Petro's Papainakas. I'm feel sorry. We're gonna break.
Kevin Harlan joins it five right here, speaking of kum Na,

I just know the different words for everything, right, don't know? Hey,
is there nothing going on? What the hell's going on here?
I don't know, Man, we're getting the four nine, four, five,
(07:11):
one two six talk sports. Oh god, well, I don't know.
I feel like I'm You're the one that started talking
about grease. That's your probably, I know, I feel bad.
I feel like I'm prepared now for our trip and
I might even lean on you some more. Hey, how
about Pete Carroll taking that Raiders job? Man, I'm happy
for Pete Carroll because he wanted to be a head
(07:32):
coach again. Obviously, clearly it's hard to believe because you know,
I mean my he's my dad's age, and I like
think about going over to my dad's house and like
shaking him out of his zero gravity chair at like
five o'clock at night and be like, you know, get
up dad. You know, we gotta hire a running back coach.
(07:52):
Do you think pizza then fall asleep in the sides
of hey, I mean obviously some people have. I mean,
I know a guy who's in his nineties who has
more energy than any of us, and he lives, you know,
he lives to travel, and he's been to Greece and
places we were talking about maybe twenty times, and he
travels the world constantly. Is one of the most remarkable
(08:12):
people I know. And you know, in all in all fairness,
I mean, we make fun of Pete all the time
because he's you do yeah, you never do. You don't
have a drop there where he's calling you frosty this one.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I feel sorry for frusty and.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You don't play the other drop when Hugh clowned him
and he got a butt hurt in a press conference,
and Hugh was ready to just drop it on him
and he knew, so he gave Pete a cold and
fish like handshake when he goes, hey, Hugh, where you've been, man?
You what's up? Man? Where you've been? It's been around
(08:49):
up man, where you've been? Just been around. I don't
sit here and tell me with your face that you
that you don't make fun of Pete care really don't though, Okay,
don't wait, that's correct. Yeah, because he's the king of
football in Seattle, we treat him with respect up here.
I know how to stop him from running around and
(09:10):
throwing the ball. What he did you see, Marshall was
on his press conference? Yeah, yeah, stop. I know how
to stop him from doing his whole throwing the ball
and how's that pass rush? Yeah? God? Really bringing the heat.
Sorry for you, Presty. Hey see, there you go. That's
(09:30):
what I was looking for. No, but look, it'll be
interesting because what I saw with Pete Carroll, I mean
I saw that Pete Carroll quite quickly was a cutthroat
professional football coach. Yes. Yeah, he came to USC under
a very different guys and created a great moment in
(09:51):
USC history with a great staff. And then suddenly it
became about what it is in pro football, survival and
climbing and credit and distributing credit and slashing throats including
Norm Jaws and many others, which was unsavory for me
to see, and which doesn't mean he's not a great coach.
(10:14):
It was just a different approach and a lot of
what was preached and what people bought into, you know,
was lip service. Then he went up to the NFL
with his knives out and had great success, brought generational
success to a whole group of people in Seattle for
a generation. So that's all great, you know, but I think,
(10:37):
you know, I think at a certain point, you know,
you get the eye rolling, there's a there's a bit
of a shelf life, so to speak. And you can
say that for any I mean, Phil Jackson said that
about himself, right, which is why it was time for
him to move on from here and go take that
message somewhere else. Right. It'll be interesting to see how
that works in Vegas and how it meshes with you know,
(10:59):
I'm mean, look who they're up against the division. I'm
not you know, I'm not going to sit here and
break down NFL football for you. You guys do it
a lot. I mean, that's not going to be easy. Yeah,
they don't leave that to us. Well, you guys have
a draft. For God's sake, you know, I was thinking
about that draft. Yeah, I was like, when do I
when is do I have the week off because of
(11:20):
the draft? You want to be on the mock draft?
You want to come, you can represent the Chargers. I
get everything wrong when it comes to the everybody does kidding?
You get one right out of the Yeah, they have
that running back. No, No, he's already he's been a
three team since. I was like, oh, sorry, you know,
I don't know. My point is they don't have a quarterback,
(11:42):
and they're up against every quarterback that you can think of,
and it's it's it's not an easy road. Uh, but
who's to say. I mean, the guy's had success literally
everywhere he went, other than the Jets situation, which which
ended abruptly and bitterly. Yeah, he won't games is last
year with the Patriots, I think they wanted to hire
(12:03):
Belichick and obviously they made the right move for their history. Uh.
And and he was bitter about that and had to
go back to college and built a dynasty. And now
he's you know, he's a he's gonna be a Hall
of Fame coach. What can you say, yeah likely, Yeah,
well I hope he does well in in Vegas, you know,
but on the track record's not great there. Track record
(12:26):
there is not great, correct, right, Yeah, well, nobody's won
there since Calahanato took the Raiders to the Super Bowl. Ruden,
you see it here with the Chargers, the team I'm
picking for in the Softy Dick draft, Jackson pick for Douvo.
How about that guy? Did you see that yesterday? I mean,
you know what Monday like, everybody made fun of Dan
(12:48):
Campbell for the kneecap chewing. Everybody made fun of Sirianni
for just looking like an Italian sausage dildo. Everybody, you
know what I mean, Like what everybody thought Staley. Everybody
thought Staley was like you know, GQ smooth and came
(13:09):
off so great. Oh my god, you know what I mean.
Don't forget we're lying. By the way, whatever I could
say that, I'm just saying you guys probably have commercials
for that. I'm just saying there's a big sex shop
right by the airport. I've been to c TAG. I'm
just reminding you that we're live, that's all. What do
you think people buy their softy. I don't know DVDs,
(13:29):
that's right. All I'm saying is, you know, you can't
judge a book by its cover as far as the
press press conference goes. But that guy, that guy did
seem like kind of a weirdo. I was up in
Pullman doing a game once and you know it was
it was, you know, not long ago, super long ago,
(13:50):
because I was practicing yoga and you know, I find it.
If there's a place without you know, with yoga, I'll
go in most college towns have yoga, so I'll go.
And I went to this yoga class in Pullman and
the guy who was teaching it was like totally normal.
It's like, hey, you know, twenty bucks whatever. And then
when the class started, just like that coach Cohen, he
(14:11):
started talking like a ghost, right. He was like whoao?
And I was like, well why what happened? And then
classes over he's like see you let gokugs. I was like, well,
why why did you become a ghost? Why did you
talk like that? You got the new guy Jimmy Rodgers
that got hired for in Pullman was is he from
South Dakota State? Is that right? Where's he from? I
(14:33):
don't know what school he was at. Yeah, one of
those schools he looks. You know what, that's what Dickard
is from, too right, It's like a coaching tree. You
gotta look. You ever see Canadian Bacon the movie? No? Okay,
well see Strange Bruise? Eh? Well he was the guy
that Jimmy Rodgers looks like is in Canadian Bacon. Oh well,
I'm so sendy a picture. Hey. Don't you think if
patriated about as well as the Blue Velvet reference had
(14:54):
made on Fox Sports Radio this morning? You hadn't seen
the movie, so it's not worth talking about. It's what
I'm saying. I mean, why do you do yourself a
favor and watch Canadian Bacon? John Candy, Stephen Wright. I'm
gonna forget We're live again. You're pushing me, you know. Uh,
don't you think if Patrick Mahomes wins in three peats
that he's better than Brady and Lebron and Jordan and
all those guys? Shut up? Like, come on, dude, can
(15:20):
we not talk about sports that way? I saw you.
It's so uninteresting. I saw you going after Nick right,
It's just it's not just him, And you know what
I mean, these guys have jobs and that's what they do.
They go in every day and some idiot producer in
a freaking quarter zip, you know, a Travis Matthew quarter zip,
(15:41):
handsome stack of papers and says, you know, here's what
we're gonna talk about. Who's the goat? God? I saw
your tweet. Why can't we stop talking about sports like this?
It says Jordan, all right, it's like, what excuse me? Well,
(16:01):
he's doing it to get people like you to react. Well,
and you did way to go. He took No. It
just needs to stop, like can we have can we
not have a more interesting conversation? Like there is an
interesting conversation to be had. There is a recent parallel,
and the parallel is the Patriots and Tom Brady because
when Tom Brady started for the Patriots and he was
(16:24):
spelling a great koog Drew Bledsoe, he was a game manager.
They were a wild defensive team with guys like Willie McGinnis,
and he was a he managed the game. You know,
they they were I mean, that's what you would say
today about what he did. And then they changed. They
had long receivers like Moss, they had short guys, and
(16:49):
like Welker that would and Amondola that would work their
way in that way, they evolved, their defense became less
and less in some ways, and back and forth. And
that's what's also happened with Kansas City. I know they
exploded with points in this last game, but throughout the year,
I mean, the reason they're winning games and everybody's like, well,
they're offensers, aren't goings. It's like, stop looking at stats.
(17:12):
They've become a more defensive team. Their play calling has changed,
They've You can't just have the same success doing the
same thing year in and year out and continue to dominate.
You have to change as people try to change to
stop you. And the Chiefs have done the best job
in the world of that's it. And that's a way
(17:33):
better thing than you can trying to compare apples to oranges. Yeah.
The stupid thing and the dumbest thing in the world
there we go, is to talk about football in that way.
That is analysis, baby, you know. And I'm just as dumb.
When I played football. I was out there like a
chicken with my head cut off, just getting knocked around
and walking back crooked to the sideline. It is absolute chaos.
(18:02):
You know, if you and and everybody sit and it
doesn't matter what level, but once you get to the
higher levels of football, you sit in meetings and you say,
we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this, we're gonna
do this, this and this, and when they do this,
we're gonna do this and then we're gonna come back.
And that everybody feels great about it. Hey, we're gonna
script our first twenty players, all right, hit them on this,
So we're gonna hit them on hi, hit them low,
(18:22):
and we're gonna get the ball to the X and
all that stuff. And then the game starts and it's
the chaos of the Civil War, Like it's like, oh god,
this guy got hurt. What are we doing? Who's the
second string kickoff guy? That guy's leg fell off? Like
it is chaos and you and the key to the
sport is finding a way to navigate through that. There's
(18:42):
eleven guys out there in a time, as you know,
and like twenty five thirty guys that play on an
offense or a defense, and we sit there and act
like circumstance doesn't rule. And because they couldn't find a way,
Josh Allen, you know, and is he not the goat?
It's just like Jesus Christ Almighty. I just tell you.
(19:05):
Through this entire Baltimore lost, and they talked more about
Baltimore leading into the Final four of the NFL than
they did about the games that were coming up. Wells,
there's been more talk about Buffalo losing and the calls
of the Chief Scott than the Eagles match up. But
there's a week. I'll be honest with you, the whole
entire time you're giving us that little commentary on football analysis.
(19:28):
I'm trying to remember the Greek word for testicles. Co'mak'm nah.
We gotta have the kum nah to change the way
we talk about sports. I'm not just a stupid fat
head and it's not gonna do anything. But I'm so
tired of like, they're smart people. They have access to
stories and to tell interesting stories. Isn't that better than
(19:49):
just sitting there every day and talking about who the
goat is? Yes, we're listening to Stephen A. Smith used
different inflections like what what are we doing? I don't know, man,
I just hope one day I have the hum nah
to do something different. On crack that's a good one.
You like that. Jimmy g poorn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo,
(20:13):
He'll just step They are trash hormable, I guess. I
mean you could say in a very rudimentary way what
he does his performance ord that's right, that's right. Yeah,
but everybody else, God, I get it. I'm just tired
of the lies. Tell a story, yeah, like how to
(20:33):
say testicles in Greek? Right, something interesting? Bring, Bring something
to the table that people can retain and actually balls right, balls?
All right, you're the man, great stuff, Thank you, and
we will talk in a week whatever. I miss you already,
all right, I'll tell you how to get around Athens
without getting stabbed. That's one of the no, it's one
of the safest cities. I love it, all right, see
(20:54):
you man. Petro's Papainakas. I'm feel sorry. We're gonna break.
Kevin Harlan joins it five right here, speaking of kum Na,
he'll join at five the biggest of all kum Nah
at five o'clock on ninety three three k j R FM.
I'm just a stupid fat head.
