KD To The Rockets?? - Tue 8.1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bro. Hey, hey what yeah, bro, Bro, These Irish people
really they really have a lot to say.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Just celebrate life, don't they. They just even like on
that movie Titanic, weren't you emotionally involved in their struggle
below decks? As as those poor irishmen down there that
that had no idea they were going to be locked
into a sinking ship and die and drowned horribly. But
right up to that point they were dancing and drinking

(00:32):
and partying and celebrating life.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
That's what it's all about below what deck? Yeah, yeah, no,
I get yeah, sure, yeah, just making sure we're all
saying the same thing, just a little bit. Okay, Why
what'd you want to do? Well?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I was just taking a look at the sports world
and I was going update you on like you know,
those scores and and who did this and who did that?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Mister. I don't mean to insult you, but I went
with World War three going on?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Can we know there's a sports it seem like it's
even worth looking into now.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Uh, except for it is that one thing. There's a
couple of things.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
But this report is brought to you by the sports
is generally usually brought to you by my Pillow.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Is that the case this morning? Boy? I hope so
yes it is.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
As a matter of fact, sports brought to you by
My Pillow, the website my pillow dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
And they got deals.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
They got all kind of sales going on incredible stuff
for the incredible products, and on top of that extra
savings with the Walton and Johnson promo code.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Anybody know what WJ it is. And our Georgian fans
have a lot to celebrate today when they shop at
my pillow dot com because the Braves just what the
New York match? Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Give me all the sports and schools and all that
kind of stuff you got, But the big news is
what happened with the Beard? What the hell is going
on with James Harden? You remember the Beard?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Right? Can do? We still call him that used to play?
He's still got to be here, don't he. He still
got a restaurant here in town. He told everyone he
thought Houston sucked. He quit and went to a different
team and then opened a restaurant here. And weirdly, people
did not come out to the restaurant in droves. Weird huh, Yeah,
but they didn't do that kind of thing. His Beard
is weird. Well, what's weird now is that he is involved.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
In a sexual molestation, a rape accusation lawsuit that's going
down from h Town.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You see what I'm saying. I believe it, I believe the
I believe the accuser is very complicated. But basically.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
The Beard's nephew is the one accused of doing the raping.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
But they said it was.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
At at the Beard's house with his security people hanging around,
and that the lady that says she got right. She
got to include James Harden in it, even though he
wasn't a ripe er. It took place at his place
under his supervision, and so she gonna embrail him.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
See, in a case like that, I gotta tell you,
it doesn't sound good. No, it does not.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
And I'm sure the time you get embroiled in any thing,
that's probably not good.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
And I'm sure we're all asking the same question, how
will this affect his three point game? Yeah, that's what
we really need to know.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
And how much longer is he going to be doing
his thing for the I guess he would the Clippers
still at this point. The other big news, of course,
uh KD becoming a Rocket and I don't know how
many years he got left to play getting on up
there a little while. But I'm happy to see Kevin
Durant come to the Rockets for you know, even if
its just a season or two, whatever we can get

(03:30):
out of it.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
It didn't sound like he was thrilled about it. They
gave him the news while he was on stage in
front of an audience and he was like, we'll see
about that or something like.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
He might not have been thrilled about the timing of
the delivery of the news, but he did say I
remember mister Osain last week that we were one of
his on a short list of San Antonio. I think
and Houston were on his list of teams that he
wanted to be traded to.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Wow, it's a good thing to be happy. It's a
good thing he didn't got to San Antonio. I mean,
I'm sure we all agree. Well, yeah, that was San
Antonio many, way too many churos, that's what I've heard.
And he doesn't want to have to put up with that.
That's horrible. That's terrible. Absolutely, you could get injured at
a strip club in San Antonio. Yeah, they could fall
on you. I mean if he was to make it
rain at a strip club in San Antonio, it would

(04:14):
need to be a tsunami to cover some of those women.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
They've had about enough rain in San Antonio for a
while too, although it seems like every lake at Ponds,
River and Stream and Creek it all dried up.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I think they ought to welcome the rain.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Their basketball related news and perhaps the most ESPN move
of all time, an analyst has apologized for saying and
I quote, that's what makes America great during a WNBA
broadcast over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, but what was it that made America great? In
her opinion?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay? The moment occurred during Sunday's broadcast. It was the
fever Aces game in Las Vegas. That's a team I guess, yeah,
get and they were playing uh yeah, there was were
playing the Clarks. Weren't they Caitlin's what do they call them?
Probably right? An ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo discussed the freedom
to disagree while commenting on a call with which she
disagreed with an official. She said, I disagree with you,

(05:10):
And it was with play by play announcer Pam Ward,
and she said, they do and I disagree with them,
and that's fine. That's what makes America great, right, pam Ward.
Will is that here listen, But they disagree with you,
they do, and I disagree with them, and that's fine.
That's what makes America great, right pam Ward. Yeah? Okay,

(05:33):
And so apparently this really upset people. That comment was
a supreme no. No, apparently that's really powerful stuff right there.
What happened? I don't get any of this. After an awkward, long,
awkward silence, she came back and she said, I should
rephrase that, and that's exactly who Yes, she said, I
should rephrase that, and then the other commentator said, yes,

(05:53):
you should. Word further attempted to guide Lobo along by
suggesting she say difference of opinion. She said, sorry about that.
It certainly seems Warren had a very serious problem with
what Lobo said up a very bizarre thing, considering the
WNBA vet did not say this is what makes America
great again or any other Trump trademarks, No, none of that. Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
It does occur to me, though, that more people heard
them say that just now on our show than would
have heard them say that during a game over the
next five seasons.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Oh, Yeah, nobody watched, nobody cared.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Sorry, your controversy is a bit minimal at this point.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
All right, here's a news story that's a little more fun.
Fathers are known for trying to pass on their athletic
dreams or love of sports to their sons, but one
dad in particular went to extremes. As an FCS All
American linebacker, Gideon Lampron is already doing his part to
make his name famous. However, Lampron's father also helped ensure
his son would gain notoriety by giving him a middle

(06:53):
name that has now gone viral. The story begins after
Lampron's birth when his mother, who wanted Gideon's middle name
to be a Xavier, went to sleep after giving birth.
Uh oh, it was then that Lambpron's father, the dad,
got a hold of the birth certificate. He wanted his
son's middle name to be Espn, and that's when he
took action. Oh my god, all caps you assuming? Yeah,

(07:14):
he literally printed ESPN in capital letters. She was out
called when the father did it. When she woke up,
he told her he did it. She said, no, you didn't.
Then she realized he did. That's official. That's a government document.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Now you got to go through the whole process of
trying to get that changed if you want to bother
with it.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
His name is Gideon ESPN LAMB pron Wow. Imagine that
they named him after a communist sports network. It's delayed
as crazy as Delicia. Yeah, Delicias, Hey, why did you
that's right? Well, yeah, you were gonna tell us about her? Yeah,
what's up with Delicia?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well, Delicia is one of two women that have been
arrested in Rome, Georgia over a traffic stop which developed
into a possession of a drug rugs and running a
red light. So you run a red light while you
got drugs and drug paraphernetia in your car and the
police is probably gonna pick up on that pretty quick.

(08:10):
So both have been charged with, you know, failure to
obey traffic control device. That's that means running a red
light and then they found some drugs in a car
that was miss Tyro and Delicia her name is Delicia

(08:30):
DeAndre or DeAndre Diamond. And the people that emailed this
in wanted to know is it possible that they could
go ahead and arrest Delicia's mama too just forgiving her
that name.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I wonder. Yeah, that didn't help her.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Did not help Now, Dalicia Diamond sounds a little like
a dancer that we might have met last weekend.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah. Sometimes those those professional ladies that dance for a
living have creative names, but usually they don't have a
last name. It's just a first name, like Cinnamon or
Muffin or Destiny or Diamond. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
What I can't believe is that we've been back from
our weekend all through a Kadiana, South Louisiana, Cajum country,
whatever you want to say. Sure, and Kenny has yet
to ask any of you what kind of weekend did
you have?

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
My god, I forgot all about it. You completely forgot.
He Kenny was driving through what old town downtown, some
part of Opelousas there near the courthouse, and he hit
the brakes so hard I splashed my Chai tea all
over the floorboard.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, by the way, then I need you to clean
that up. I'm meant too. But then we got busy.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, but what caused you to stop the carb in
such a rush?

Speaker 1 (09:50):
There was a tax service called Johnson's Tax Service, and
in the window they.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Had up no relation as far as I can tell,
as far as we can. Hopefully that might be some
rich family members of mine. But no.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
In the front window they had a drawing of one
of the characters from the movie Black Panther. Yes they did,
and then and then the words the caption next to
it said what conda tax refund? Are you gonna get? That?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
It will spell you what conda? And then underneed tax refund?
Did you get?

Speaker 1 (10:16):
So? They ask in the question, But that's a that's
an attention getter, was it not. I don't mean to
disrespect the accountant that put that there because it's what
Kanda text. I love it. It's a clever thing to do.
But on a deeper note, isn't it kind of sad
that we consider it to be a treat to get
our money back from the government.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Always have been, but the government has trained us to
think like that. Tell you what you're gonna get a
three hundred and seventeen dollars gift from the government.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, it's your money.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
We took a whole lot more n that, but we're gonna
give you a little bit of it back.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Thank you government. You'rs a wonderful Please understand when I
say is I'm not trying to insult anyone. But but
if you've ever been excited about getting a tax refund,
you have complete missed the point. That was always your money.
They took it from you, and they didn't pay you
interest or anything. It's a no interest loan you gave
to the government, and for ten twelve months they just

(11:11):
sat on your money, and then finally they said, fine,
you can have it back. And then you, being the
average middle class mayor's like, oh, look several thousand dollars,
yeah for me, so wonderful. No, you shouldn't be thrilled.
You should be pissed. They took that money from you
and then they were nice enough to give it back.
It never was supposed to be theirs in the first place. No,
it was not. By the way, Simone Biles, here's something

(11:33):
to cheer you up, to get that terrible taste out
of your mouth. Simone Biles just deleted her ex account,
the whole thing. Yeah, just gone. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
She didn't get a lot of favorable responses after her attack.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Kind of like Megan Rapino. Simone Biles recently retired from
her sport and then suddenly came out in favor of
trans athletes. Taking accolades away from women. Now that I'm
not in sports anymore, y'all go ahead do it. And
people in the media talk a lot about eighty twenty issues,
where most people agree, in a small amount of people don't.
I think this is more like a ninety ten issue.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I think the eighty twenty thing flows a little bitter,
I guess, but ninety ten, for sure.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
You almost never meet people that want trans athletes to
compete against women, even if you're on the far left,
you don't meet these people. But there is one group
of people that like it, Hollywood and celebrities, and I
don't even think they like it. I think they're just
saying they like it because they assume each other does well.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
They have to say it because they think the other
people are saying it and they want to fit right in.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
So Simone Biles came out in favor of it to
argue with Riley Gains, and she got dunked on so
hard by so many different people. Yeah, this has kind
of ruined her legacy. There are people that have loved
and praised her for years and now they hate this
woman overnight because she came out in support of basically
sex predators in my opinion, Well, she fooled around and

(12:50):
found out yep, she did. Fafo simone simpo boo, Sit
good dog. Walton and Johnson. Have you had the same
email address for a long time? Why yes, I have.
You know how a lot of email software has a
separate folder where they put all your junk email. And
it's even different from the spam email. They call it
the promotional email bind. Oh yeah, one of those. Yeah.

(13:13):
Have you ever tried this before the day after your birthday?
Search that folder for the word promo code and you
see there's all these crazy Dallas things I wouldn't have
even noticed in there. Well, it's the day after, is
it still useful? I wonder you're going to get like
a deal.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
You buy a scoop Baskin Robbins, get a second scoop
free because it's your birthday.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
I never really take advantage of that, but I know
people that do. I think this is sort of like
a high tech way of doing that. We all laugh
at our friend that drives around on his birthday getting
a discount on a haircut or an ice cream Sunday,
cause you know who has time and how much money
are you even saving.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, have you saved thirty five cents in the long
run after you've spent all the gas to go that
extra distance to get your gift.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's kind of like if you live alone and you
decide you want to start cooking your own meals to
save money, and then you realize you spent probably one
hundred hours a month cooking and all you got out
of it is you save fifty bucks or something like?
What did you even say if I fifty bucks?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's a lot of money to some people, bud now,
But because you're all rich and fancy and upity, it
don't mean the rest of us all.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, but Billyeah, time is money. What's one hundred hours
to you? What's fifty hours to you? Fifty bucks is
what we were talking about. Fifty dollars so you'd work,
so you're worth a dollar an hour. Well, no, that's
what we're saying. That's the math. Bill. Yeah, he's not
doing any of that. That's what we just said. Billy.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Hey, what bothers me about that is if you're cooking
for one, and I'm assuming most of the time you are,
sure and I have lived through that occasionally myself. Yeah,
it is cheaper if you go to the grocery store
buy food, cook it at home than if you go
to the restaurant. However, the problem is you have to
most dishes, you cook for at least two more like

(14:56):
probably four people exactly, and then it's more expensive than
it would have been for one person to go to
the restaurant and eat. But then you hardly ever go
out to the restaurant to eat by yourself because you
want to invite somebody to come along and have some
company with or whatever. Not that it's a problem to
dine alone, but that money factor that you got to.

(15:17):
You gotta weigh both sides and see which one works
for you.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
And then here's the other side of it. When you
start making all your meals at home when you're living alone,
are you gonna eat more food?

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Is that like you're gonna either have leftovers or you're
going to you know, eat too much because you.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Hate that this throw it away? Right? Imagine try making
a meal out of one avocado and one eggplant and
one chicken breast, and when you're done, you have more
food than you needed. Right, It's not like they don't
have little miniature onions. I guess they do, but you know,
but still I get it. Yeah, anyway, yeah, and then
and then what's the other side of that? All right,

(15:52):
so you go out and eat processed food all the time.
Now you're well, So I'll just go to the sandwich
shop and eat cold cuts all the time. Constant. Not good?
Probably not no, but that's exactly what I do. So
any more good dieting advice for me before we go home? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Left lift, That's not a diet, That's what I do. Exercise,
I left.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Hey. Astros played the Phillies tonight at seven pm. Probably
going to take a look at that if you're a
Rangers fan. They just lost to the Orioles yesterday quite
a whooping six to nothing, but hopefully they come back
from that. Who's a hit in that division right now?
In the Rangers division? Yeah, okay, that would be hang on,
I got it right here. And how many games are
they hit? That'd be the Astros? Is it four? Quite

(16:34):
a bit? Yeah, Astros are crushing the Rangers. No offense
to our fans in the Metroplex. Astros, Mariners, Angels, Rangers,
Athletics in that one. So looking pretty good over there. Meantime,
if you are a Braves fan. They are in third
place in their division, right behind the Mets and the Phillies.
How many games back? Looks like a lot eleven gigs,

(16:54):
a lot double digits. Well, at least you're not a
Rockies fan. They have lost sixty games so far this season.
How many have they played? They've won eighteen to put
that into perspective, so seventy eight. Yeah, they are just
a math. They are a garbage team. That's awful. Why
does Denver even need a baseball team?

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well, the view from the stands at the baseball park,
they tell me is just.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Gorge it is. It is pretty I lovely.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
What maybe they should play at Red rock Views out there?
Really nice?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Bro? Have you ever been to Red Rocky at the theater?
It's pretty cool. It is a really neat place to
see a concert. I've never been to the Dome in Vegas.
I'm the sphere. The sphere, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
This year, I've heard about Dolly huh hanging out with
Motley Crue. Now, Dolly Parton just now she got one
of new residency things where she's going to live at
a hotel in Vegas and do shows and stuff. Which
means now Vegas has three giant spheres. Oh no, how
could you will?

Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's pretty obvious. Dolly Parton teamed up with the Motley
Crew to re record the song Home Sweet Home. They
are raising my for a charity Covenant House I mean
sweet Home Alabama. Home, Sweet Home, Sweet Home Alabama is
a Leonard skinnered song. The whole different thing anyway, hoping
you met that one. Here's a quick clip.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
If you.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
No, I know what you're thinking, is Dolly in? There?
Is that? Who I heard? If you do a song
for charity and the song is arguably worse than the
original song, have you done any arguably? Okay, come on,
you just heard it? Yeah? Do we all have to

(18:40):
pretend like that? I'm we don't.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Are they trying to raise money by if we If
we reach two hundred thousand dollars, the band will stop playing.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Exactly last thing I want to be when the end
of the world comes is sober. Walton and Johnson Radio
