It's the best of two pros and a
0:04
couple, with LaVar Arrington rating
0:06
Winn and Jonas Knox on Box
0:09
Radio.
0:14
LaVar Arrington, Welcome back, guys, Happy
0:16
to have you.
0:16
Good morning. Hi
0:19
hek you how you doing?
0:21
Lots of lies spun yesterday as to why you
0:23
weren't here.
0:24
Yeah, just one off the top that
0:26
you said, Jonas, what was one you use?
0:28
Uh?
0:29
You did so poorly in your mock draft that
0:31
you were suspended for a show.
0:33
That was one.
0:34
We also threw out the go to ped
0:37
suspension.
0:38
Why are you throwing me into this? I didn't say any
0:40
of.
0:40
These because you were providing the content.
0:43
You had the ideas. You're the idea man.
0:44
I was just, oh, it sounds like I would be really concerned
0:47
about my mock draft accuracy.
0:48
Here right or me on peds?
0:51
You know, yeah, why not?
0:52
I don't pet already
0:55
know Varzel not trail.
0:57
I mean I have started using supplements
1:00
now, you know, you know that
1:02
that guy that talks about how you don't have
1:04
to eat right and all that stuff and he rips
1:06
his shirt off. They got me, he got me.
1:08
What are you talking about?
1:09
You like the v shred and all that stuff?
1:12
You never heard of it. I
1:15
don't know.
1:15
It's a doctor Drew I think is
1:18
on that program or whatever. Anyways,
1:20
it doesn't matter. I'm getting all stacked in jack now.
1:23
I mean I can see the difference. Not I've
1:25
been using it, and you see, i'd
1:27
be drinking green tea now and drink coffee
1:29
as much.
1:30
Yeah, I want to sellout there, you go,
1:32
man, Yeah, but.
1:34
Having just good old but you should, you know you should do just
1:36
try good old fashioned black coffee.
1:39
There's nothing.
1:40
Why has he got to be blacks?
1:42
Because he's trying to honor Lee, trying
1:47
to show some solidarity to Lee,
1:51
but you know he likes it black. So I'm gonna
1:53
go black damn with my coffee. That is,
1:56
with my coffee. I can't get too
1:58
carried away.
1:59
Now, what
2:02
supplements did you guys take when you were playing?
2:04
Did you? Were you all gassed up?
2:07
I took creating in high school because
2:09
I was trying to gang weight. And then once I realized
2:11
I didn't need to try to gang weights.
2:14
Protein well, Permany's protein for
2:16
certain protein for
2:19
certain one.
2:21
Two.
2:21
Oh man, that just didn't sound.
2:23
Right, no, Diddy,
2:27
Yeah, yeah,
2:30
Well I wasn't enough
2:32
protein in that game.
2:33
Last night, apparently
2:35
not down the stretch.
2:36
Said I wasn't quite what you had said,
2:39
var, but it wasn't far off.
2:40
Okay, the
2:43
Lakers have got to be so frustrated. If you're
2:45
a Laker fan, it's the
2:47
same thing every single
2:49
game. They're winning, they're
2:51
winning, they're winning, and then about six
2:53
minutes left to go in the game, Denver is like, all
2:56
right, we're good now.
2:57
Then I know
3:00
plays so poorly though. It was such
3:02
an ugly like they were so sloppy
3:04
in the game and still
3:07
beat them. That's how you know they're just
3:09
way better than the Lakers are.
3:12
So do you take any solace in the fact that I can't
3:14
wait? By the way, Petros Popadaegas is joining us
3:16
an hour three special Tuesday appearance. Do
3:18
you take any sauce? Do you take any
3:20
solace in the fact that the Lakers
3:23
in totality led for more minutes
3:26
than Denver did in the series? Like,
3:28
do you look at that and go, you know one
3:30
or two things here? You know it was competitive
3:32
sweep last year, and still they're
3:34
going home.
3:35
His Darvin Ham back next year?
3:37
He's gone,
3:40
No, please, is
3:42
Lebron James back?
3:44
Well, that's it's funny you bring
3:46
that up. Lebron James
3:48
did speak with the media postgame
3:51
and he was asked that same question,
3:54
and this was his response before
3:56
walking out of the press conference tonight.
3:59
Was there any thought at all that, you know, this could
4:01
have been your last game with the Lakers.
4:05
I'm not gonna answer that.
4:07
Appreciate it, and
4:10
away we go.
4:12
Let's say guys committed
4:15
committed to the old Lakers.
4:17
That's that Aaron Rodgers bit. Though
4:19
Aaron Rodgers and and Lebron Jaying
4:21
must have the same media coach.
4:24
I don't think they do. No, No, I
4:26
think his own man.
4:28
You might be right. I just I
4:30
just know this.
4:31
They always say something
4:34
that makes the off season all
4:36
about them.
4:38
Oh it's very vague, right, yeah, it's
4:40
it's always it's some sort of a vague response.
4:42
And yeah, like that's why last
4:44
year the conversation was more about
4:47
you know, the Lakers than it was Denver after
4:49
the series, which is why Mike Malone and and
4:51
those guys were pissed off a little bit and
4:54
they kind of held that grudge.
4:55
And then now we go into the office
4:58
the same exact thing he did, the same exact thing. That's
5:00
the same exact quote. It's not the same
5:02
exact quote. It's the same exact quote
5:04
in terms of it's so open
5:06
ended. So now it opens up the conversation.
5:09
Are you talking about between Rogers and the car?
5:11
Yeah? Okay, yeah,
5:13
yeah, yeah.
5:15
I mean Aaron Rodgers does it says
5:17
things that creatively
5:20
organically get people to want
5:22
to talk about him, even provocative.
5:25
I think he's lots of people going, get them going.
5:27
Yeah, but he's a little bit pants party.
5:30
He's pantsing.
5:31
But Rogers Heads has a little different flare
5:34
to it because it really welcomes in
5:36
like the UFO flat earthers to
5:38
be part of the conversation.
5:40
Are those the same people you can't believe
5:42
they're with this flat but also believe in UFO?
5:44
Yeah, I mean those two John Yeah.
5:46
Well, I'm just saying there are people that really
5:49
both those worlds.
5:50
You know, I don't think so. I
5:52
think those are two separate folks. I
5:54
think if you believe in UFOs, you
5:57
undoubtedly know the world is round,
6:00
and you would not believe in the flatter thing.
6:02
But UFOs and aliens have taken
6:04
a turn, like now there's some thought that
6:06
aliens are amongst us. I'm just saying
6:08
that they're walking around and they've been here for years.
6:10
Well, I mean, don't they have
6:12
like task force for that and order
6:15
a compliment?
6:15
By the way, I feel like LeVar is much closer
6:17
to an alien than you are. John, Jeez, what
6:21
damn that's a compliment.
6:22
I know it is, but I'm just trying to make sure the in
6:24
laws aren't listening.
6:26
It's what
6:30
that's the only one I know about.
6:33
You can't judge me for, of course, saying what
6:36
it is that I know about.
6:37
I mean, that's what I thought.
6:38
That's what you were talking about, are
6:43
those I mean, yeah,
6:48
you.
6:50
Sorry to the knocks in law.
6:55
I meant no harm by it.
6:56
I just was just saying, is that's
6:58
that's what I know of it.
7:00
Oh, there's just the conspiracy theory.
7:02
Folks feel like they're welcomed into the conversation
7:04
with Aaron Rodgers and with Lebron James.
7:06
It's like a lot of the Whinos, the people that hang out
7:09
at Vineyards and NAPA and like go there
7:11
for like you know, it's only basketball, their ten year
7:13
anniversary and stuff like that. Like those people
7:15
like hang out with Lebron in those services and then
7:17
they're welcomed into this conversation now.
7:19
So now they're gonna sit over a glass.
7:22
Of two buck chuck all off season and
7:24
think about whether or not they should get the
7:26
splurge and get the bottle of Rex Goliath,
7:29
or if they should sit around and ponder whether
7:31
or not Lebron James is going to be a Laker next year.
7:33
He's done it. He's made himself
7:36
the storyline heading into the off season because
7:38
he's got an opt out and he desperately
7:40
wants to play.
7:41
With his sons.
7:42
I don't think I'm going to answer this, you know, IM
7:45
not gonna partake, thank you. I'm
7:48
just going just continue to tea bag over here.
7:50
And geez, my my business, you
7:53
know is that three
7:55
you get three tea bags. I'm successfully
7:58
dipping my tea bags and it
8:00
is I'm tea bagging it.
8:02
Are you supposed to go just one tea bag?
8:04
That's what they say. I
8:06
want an extra strong, he wants extra bag.
8:08
That's right, sound
8:10
believe. I mean you can never want
8:13
tea bag too much. No,
8:15
there could never be too much t bagging.
8:19
That's a great point, man. That
8:26
is a That is a tremendous point.
8:28
Uh well, and that'll conclude our cover.
8:31
So listen, and the Celtics
8:33
had a great game too, Yeah you know
8:35
that.
8:36
Will wait to see what happens with Porzingis and
8:38
how significant his injury is.
8:40
He's going to get a test done later on. And then
8:42
you've also got the New Orleans Pelicans,
8:45
who Charles Barkley says he should
8:47
be sent to Galveston not Cancun.
8:49
Is going on nine am
8:52
in his studio for a reason, like
8:55
why why do I feel
8:57
like we'reing Fort Lauderdale or
8:59
Miami?
9:01
Is bright?
9:02
God dang, yeah, it's brighten there?
9:05
Watch it so bright there?
9:08
I can't.
9:09
I felt like you was live, bet Jesus,
9:11
like for real, Like I'm.
9:17
God, dag is bright? It's hell in here?
9:19
Yeah, like I'm I'm normally pasty. I'm
9:21
real pasty right now? Like it is I
9:24
look like a h is this is?
9:26
This?
9:26
Is this an attackle on my skin?
9:28
Color?
9:28
Light? I got it brightened here because I'm
9:30
dark on camera?
9:33
Racist?
9:34
There's the uh one.
9:35
Of the lights is not this like a subtle
9:38
Was this a subtlety of LeVar? We
9:41
we need to have more light on you, so
9:44
so the videos come out right, I don't
9:46
understand why so bright?
9:48
We need that big neon kickoff light is what we need.
9:50
That's what we need. I mean studio lights.
9:52
Of studio lights, man, you know what I mean,
9:54
like the big noon kickoff lights.
9:57
Boy, they got some studio lights.
9:59
Man.
9:59
That's why people wearing sunglasses on TV
10:01
though, because it'd be bright, so
10:04
bright, and you're like, man, it's the daytime.
10:06
We shouldn't need this much lighting.
10:08
We got the sun, you know, and
10:11
that thing will be blinding you. If
10:13
it looks like we're squinting, it's because
10:16
we are.
10:16
Because you're squinting. Yeah, because it's
10:18
bright in your ass. It's
10:20
hitting your cataracts and your retinas in your
10:22
corneas, right, all
10:26
those I don't know who got cataracts.
10:28
So if you guys were to bet,
10:31
will Lebron be back in LA next
10:33
year?
10:34
Yeah?
10:35
Yes, Okay, so you're betting
10:37
on them. What drafting with Browny?
10:39
No, may
10:42
be taking him as as a second round
10:45
or undrafted, signing
10:48
him as an undrafted free agent. Yeah,
10:51
I mean you get to choose then, I
10:53
mean that might be the plan, like he
10:56
should be drafted.
10:57
No, that should be the plan.
10:59
Though, the plan should be to
11:01
get go into the draft, go undrafted,
11:03
because then now he can
11:06
go sign with who he wants to sign with.
11:07
Well, is he fully committed to
11:10
going into the draft because he did enter
11:12
the portal and I heard I
11:14
saw some stuff out there that maybe Ducane,
11:17
because has
11:19
a relationship with Ducane.
11:21
Is that right?
11:21
Yeah, that they could be the landing spot for
11:24
him, the Duke. And I'll be honest
11:26
with you, I was going to look more into it and the Dukes.
11:28
The NFL Draft was on and I was like, screw that,
11:30
I get better things to do, is Dukes?
11:34
I think? So?
11:34
Come on, man, Pittsburgh.
11:36
You know it's the bird We used to
11:38
practice there during state state
11:40
champion state playoffs. We
11:42
used to practice on their field because they
11:45
had a better, better
11:47
field surface because of the how
11:49
bad the weather got, so we used to go down
11:51
to du Cane.
11:52
It's kind of a weird location. It just sort of pops
11:54
up. It's like just right there. It's
11:57
just like right there, really strange. See
11:59
the little county jail right
12:01
there.
12:04
Who's over there right out right off
12:06
the fifth a half so it's
12:08
out the fifth alf What up?
12:10
Sam Clancy? Yeah up?
12:11
No, what uf Sam Clancy?
12:14
It's funest Yeah, So
12:16
that's the that's the speculation. But
12:19
the fun part about all this is that the Lakers
12:21
get eliminated.
12:22
That's fun.
12:23
Lebron James, Well, it's fun because we're gonna have Petros
12:25
on and he's gonna probably unload
12:28
that night. Yeah, because, as he says,
12:31
he's been getting nailed by the king for years
12:33
now in this town and he's tired
12:35
of it and the rubber's got to
12:37
meet the road and he's going to put a stop to
12:39
all the nonsense that's going on. So we'll get all
12:41
that from Petro's coming up an hour three.
12:44

Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Fox
13:00
Sports, MLB Network and Sports Illustrated,
13:03
and.
13:03
I'm Joe Madden, and we're going to be around to talk
13:05
a little bit about managerial decisions.
13:07
And what may have according to the dugout maybe in the nineteen
13:09
eighties.
13:10
It's the Book of Joe podcast.
13:12
I can't wait for this.
13:13
Joe We're going to dive into what goes on in the
13:15
dugout and behind the scenes in Major League
13:17
Baseball, cars, wind whatever else we want to talk
13:19
about.
13:19
Yeah, well there are no boundaries, right.
13:21
Listen to the Book of Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio
13:24
app, on Apple Podcasts or wherever
13:26
you get your podcasts. You guys gonna
13:28
watch this Tom Brady roast coming up
13:31
on a Sunday.
13:32
I probably won't. I'll
13:34
miss it. Yeah, I don't think I am either.
13:36
Yeah, I'm just not sure how aggressive they're going
13:39
to be with him. I think Belichick's one of the roasters.
13:41
By the way.
13:42
I think they're going to be really aggressive. Think. So, yes,
13:45
here's the dynamic. And
13:48
I'm not saying this it's like, oh, you know people
13:50
they don't really understand.
13:53
But I would say locker room talk
13:56
cuts like knives, man, and
13:58
that is what we're about to get
14:01
between the former players he played with,
14:04
and even Bill Belichick, who
14:07
even in his team meetings. I mean, look, I've
14:10
never been in his team meetings, but I've been in a lot of
14:12
coaches who tried to mimic what those are
14:14
like, and that is not.
14:17
For the fan of heart.
14:19
So I think it's gonna be spectacular
14:22
and it's gonna.
14:23
Be rough, Like
14:27
who's the one can meet?
14:28
Is that Anthony jessel Nick who talks
14:30
like very like dark, yeah,
14:32
like about death and everything all the time.
14:34
Pittsburgh guy.
14:35
Yeah.
14:36
Well, all I'm saying is, imagine that time's
14:38
eight people up there just digging
14:40
in on him the whole time.
14:42
The problem is Greg Giraldo
14:44
passed away. Look up
14:47
Greg Giraldo's roast. The
14:49
stuff is so offensive that you cannot
14:51
believe that he that he didn't just get
14:54
assaulted, like he went after everybody from
14:56
Warren Sap to David
14:59
Hasselho like nobody
15:01
was untouchable.
15:02
And then I think Jeff.
15:03
Ross is going to be He's always the like
15:06
the roastmaster, so he's going to be the
15:08
kind of leading the charge.
15:09
With all this.
15:10
But I'm wondering which comedians show up.
15:12
Is Gillis going to get the call?
15:14
Didn't they say Kevin Hart was going to be a part of it?
15:17
Kevin Hart, I've not seen if
15:19
Shane Gillis would be. I would imagine they'd be
15:21
some comedians that have some sort of tie back to Boston,
15:24
right have they said? With Mark Walberg's
15:26
and be a part of it.
15:28
I don't know.
15:29
I don't know why. I feel like he would be a surprised person to
15:31
be involved.
15:32
I could see that.
15:33
Yeah, well listen, the one
15:35
place you're not going to see Tom Brady is back on
15:37
the field in New England.
15:39
We can assure you.
15:40
There was some speculation that, you
15:42
know, Brady said he would be open to a potential
15:45
return. He threw out the Patriots,
15:47
the forty nine Ers, the Raiders, just kind of having
15:49
fun, a what if scenario.
15:51
If somebody needed him.
15:52
The new Patriots head coach Drod Mayle
15:54
was on the Greg Hill Show and he
15:57
spoke about the potential of Tom Brady
15:59
returning to New England.
16:00
I love to and the door is always open
16:02
if he wants to come in here and coach. But going
16:05
on the field, I don't know. But if he comes in here
16:07
once again, going back to the hey
16:09
the best player we'll play. You got to come here and compete,
16:11
and he loves competition. I
16:13
doubt he's going to be walking through his doors anytime now.
16:17
If he wanted to come back and play, why the hell would he play
16:19
for the Patriots.
16:20
They're gonna be just even talk of like if you want to come
16:22
back and coach, It's like, why the hell we want
16:25
to coach? I mean, like
16:27
for starters, he's making thirty seven and a
16:29
half million to be on TV.
16:32
Geez, so I'm gonna
16:34
pay him that maybe playing
16:37
but not coaching.
16:39
I just I don't really understand, don't
16:43
really understand if he was going to come.
16:45
Back and play. San
16:47
fran and Vegas are the places
16:49
that make sense, like if somebody
16:51
needed him, if there was an injury,
16:53
God forbid to Brock Purdy or something
16:56
like that. Those But I don't even think it's
16:58
even allowed if he's to be owner
17:00
of the Raiders, that he can come back and play. So
17:02
the whole conversation was just odd. It's
17:05
not going to happen, and call me
17:07
like listen, maybe I'm on an island. I'm
17:09
I'm more interested in seeing what he's
17:12
like as a broadcaster than him coming back to
17:14
turn as a player. I want to see how this works.
17:17
I want to see how good he's gonna.
17:18
Be back to the roast. So
17:21
Belichick's gonna be a part of it. Do
17:23
you think it's more of a decision Belichick made almost
17:27
to get back at Craft in a way, is
17:29
Robert Kraft canna be a part of it?
17:33
If I was, I haven't seen anything that says Craft will be a
17:35
part.
17:35
If I was Robert Kraft, I'd probably steer clear from a roast.
17:38
You know.
17:40
The problem is, it's not just the guy who's getting
17:43
roasted, it's everybody else on stage and attendance.
17:46
You're also going to get it.
17:47
Too, was
17:49
Robert Kraft, and you don't want any stories
17:52
about the easy target target.
17:54
He steps on the staget
17:58
eight on his back, it's on the front.
18:01
Dang.
18:02
Yeah.
18:04
But my point is it seems
18:06
like he's getting outside the.
18:07
Box for Bill Belichick.
18:09
He was a part of the draft coverage. Now
18:12
he's doing this. I
18:14
don't know if this is gonna work out well for Robert
18:16
Craft. It's not, you know,
18:19
And in the end, he's gonna look like the
18:22
bad guy and people
18:24
are gonna forget about his role in
18:26
their success in comparison to
18:28
Tom and Bill be infamous.
18:31
Yeah, well, they're just they're gonna be out there
18:33
more. He's gonna be kind of be sit back
18:35
in the shadows. But I almost wonder too, if Bill
18:38
committed to this before Robert
18:40
Craft even could, even if he wanted to because
18:43
now you'd think, oh, maybe they both can be
18:45
involved. But to your point, A, he'd be an easy
18:48
target and B, well, Belichick already
18:50
committed to it, So how's that interaction gonna
18:52
work out? After the documentary came out, we're craft
18:54
based. We tried to bury Belichick.
18:56
And and also the more that you that
18:58
people talk about the documentary
19:00
and the more that there's pushback on it, even
19:03
Robert Kraft tried to say, oh, you know, we didn't have any
19:05
input on that, and it was like, all right, it's craft
19:07
LLC. At the end of the credits each episode,
19:10
it feels like, yeah,
19:13
like and.
19:13
That paid for it.
19:14
If you paid for it, you can have a saying
19:16
what it's coming out On the other side, I'm certainly
19:19
say.
19:19
And so when when all these former players
19:22
are coming out, going, man, I don't like the way
19:24
Belichick was being represented. And it's it's
19:26
not just one or two. It's Brady,
19:28
it's Gronk, it's Devin mccordy,
19:31
it's Rodney Harrison, it's
19:33
you know, Stefan Gilmour, Like all these
19:35
guys have come out after Yeah,
19:37
like I was duped, and they're pissed
19:39
about it there.
19:40
Telling me it was one thing and it turned out to be
19:42
something else. That's what I've heard.
19:44
And so it feels like the tables have turned
19:46
to where now you know, Belichick was he's
19:49
got to go, He's the problem. And
19:51
you know, one of the story, one of the pieces of that article
19:53
that came out from Seth Wickersham and Company was
19:55
that, you know, Belichick kind
19:58
of views it as if he goes somewhere else
20:00
and has success, who does Robert Kraft
20:02
have to blame if the coach and the quarterback went
20:04
somewhere else and wine and you've still got
20:06
a bag of craft for a football
20:08
team that you've had for the past few years.
20:11
And it's not I'll say this.
20:12
I when we first were
20:14
talking about it, I
20:16
took a stance like man
20:19
craft is craft, and
20:21
in so many ways he is Craft is craft.
20:24
But the more I've.
20:26
Listened to you guys, and the more I've kind of
20:28
dug into it, it does seem
20:30
a tad bit curious that
20:33
the stakes are so high on
20:35
every little thing that happens, like
20:38
this is just a roast. All it should be is
20:40
really it's a roast, right, But
20:43
yet it still turns into like a politically
20:45
driven you know, politics
20:47
between them and what's
20:50
going on, and it's like
20:52
it just seems all so calculated,
20:56
like who called for the roast
20:59
right with Tom Brady? Because there's
21:01
something to that, and you gotta believe it's
21:03
something to it, based upon probably
21:06
that documentary coming out. I
21:08
just think that it's it's just it just seems
21:11
interesting now that why
21:14
would Robert Kraft put himself
21:16
You're the owner of the franchise.
21:19
Why would you ever put.
21:20
Yourself in a position where you've become
21:23
infamous when you've done so many
21:25
great things with two of
21:27
the greatest to ever be apart more
21:29
than two, you've done it with multiple
21:32
greatest ever of all time?
21:35
Why even why even go down
21:37
that? Why let your ego take
21:39
you down that road? It
21:41
just doesn't make sense to me.
21:43
Remember when Breer brought up the point, and
21:45
it was kind of I think we even said, you
21:47
know, that's an angle of this that we hadn't thought about,
21:49
but that Robert Kraft desperately wants
21:52
to get into the Hall of Fame, and that
21:54
there was some thought that once
21:57
that stuff came out, you know where
21:59
he went to it, you know, orchards
22:01
of Asia or whatever it's called in Jupiter.
22:05
It's just so good name.
22:08
It really is a mess up.
22:10
It's like like if you were going to try to get out
22:12
of this one, like, hey, where where was it that
22:15
we caught these people? It was called Orchards
22:17
of Asia, Like you can't get out of
22:19
the way of that.
22:19
He went from Robert Craft, owner
22:22
of a team that won six Super Bowls, to
22:24
Bobby Orchids, Bobby Orchids
22:26
with the flip of a switch.
22:27
I had at least twenty text
22:29
messages saying, Bobby,
22:32
Bobby Orchids, really, really
22:35
Bobby Orchids.
22:36
It's kind of dope, so shirt.
22:39
So I wonder if he's almost in
22:41
desperation mode where he's gonna be Bobby
22:45
Orchids.
22:45
Come on, man, that's the background.
22:48
Oh my god, it
22:50
was like caricatures of Robert Craft.
22:53
Oh man, Bobby
22:55
Orchid a design where
22:58
I just I wonder if he's almost in aspiration
23:00
mode where he's got to try and change
23:03
the narrative and the discussion about himself
23:06
because he feels like maybe time's.
23:08
Running out and he's got to get into the Hall of Fame.
23:09
I guess Jerry Jones getting in before
23:12
him really bothered him, like
23:14
really bothered him. And when you think about it,
23:16
he's got all the credentials, like
23:18
he's got all those super Bowl champions,
23:21
he's run a successful franchise, or he's
23:24
going in.
23:24
But he's going
23:26
in O.
23:28
I mean, there's no way Robert Kraft
23:31
is not going into the NFL Hall of Fame.
23:33
He will definitely make it in. The question
23:35
is that he'd make it ahead of Mike Shanahan. And
23:38
the one thing that I think he has going for him
23:41
that voters will be cognizant
23:43
of is he is eighty two years old,
23:46
and so I think they try
23:48
they look at someone like I mean, not that you ever should
23:52
take that for granted just because Mike Shanahan's
23:54
eleven years younger. It doesn't mean that you
23:56
should surpass him because Kraft
23:58
is older. But I think there is a thought
24:01
to that, like, hey, let's let's get
24:03
an older guy in so he can be welcomed
24:05
while he's still alive instead of potentially
24:08
after his passing. So that
24:10
that would be the one thought I think, because
24:12
it's really between Mike Shanahan and
24:15
Robert Kraft at this point, I thought.
24:17
Why the hell would Mike Shanahan not be in the Hall
24:19
of Fame.
24:19
But I have no idea.
24:22
It almost like I when
24:24
Albert Preer brought that up, I
24:26
thought he.
24:27
Was a part of the Hall of Fame already.
24:29
I just assumed, and I was like, I looked at him, like, wait a second,
24:31
He's not a part of the Hall of Fame.
24:33
It's ridiculous.
24:35
I mean, like, what other credentials do you need
24:38
from him to be like I like he's
24:40
and is Like how many as far as
24:43
like offensive minds that
24:45
have changed the game or revolutionized
24:48
the game, like Mike Shannan's on a list
24:50
right of guys that have that have implemented
24:52
something that is still used all these years later.
24:55
Yes, so like widely used
24:58
by the league almost probably half the offenses.
25:00
And so you figure the Super Bowls, the Hall of
25:02
Fame players he coached, the
25:05
you know, his innovations and ideas
25:08
and stuff that he uses and still just
25:10
not in the Hall of Fame. There's no scandal, there's
25:12
no like you know, background issues
25:14
or anything like that, and for whatever reason, he's still not in
25:16
the Hall of Fame. It's just odd. So
25:18
hopefully he'll get in, and hopefully that happens soon. But
25:21
if you're Orchids, if
25:23
you're a if you're Bobby
25:26
Orchids, I would steer clear of that roast on Sinco
25:28
to my O, not a not a safe
25:30
place for you.
25:31
But I still might get hit with at where he's
25:33
sitting. Wherever he's sitting,
25:35
he's still gonna get hit.
25:36
Like if you were if you were a professional
25:38
comic and they called you and said, hey, can
25:41
you come up with some material for us, If
25:44
somebody threw that at you and said, by the way, here's
25:46
this in case you were interested. That's
25:48
the open and the close of my set, Like
25:51
I would open with Bobby Orchids, and I would close
25:53
with Bobby Orchids, and especially knowing that Belichick
25:55
and Tom Brady are there, just to make everybody
25:58
feel that much more awkward. So we'll
26:00
see how it plays out.
26:01
Makes feel awkward, I think they'd probably just
26:03
start laughing.
26:04
I think I want Brady would probably feel
26:06
awkward, but I think Belichick would
26:08
love it. Yeah, because you
26:10
know they tried to shame him with that, you know that
26:13
walk of shame video from Nantucket last
26:15
year. Please guys trying to have a good time
26:17
with his shirt off, you know, God forbid
26:19
he takes home a straight.
26:20
Yeah all we know? Yeah, that
26:24
up satisfy.
26:26
No chance he makes it to the end of the show.
26:28
I'll say that, Lee,
26:30
what do you think about that?
26:32
You cannot confirm nor deny?
26:35
All right, we love you, buddy,
26:39
final like Lebron right there, Like,
26:41

26:42
It was not me?
26:42
All right?
26:43
We played uh we played
26:45
taps for Lee. We're going to talk about Lee
26:47

27:44
We got Kentucky Derby this week. We got a special

Oh, and I don't want to wait for Petro's

27:51
No, I I uh my
27:54
life is collapsing. Dang, I'll
27:56
say that.
27:57
No, it's all right.
27:58
I've been replaced from the
28:00
job I did on the Beach Life concert
28:02
for like the last six years. Wait what four
28:05
days out? They replaced me with a King's cheerleader.
28:08
Oh no really yep? What is
28:10
she good looking?
28:11
Well, Petrick, I would assume kylie.
28:18
Hey, Petros, we've been promoting that thing for
28:20
what a month?
28:21
I know, I know.
28:23
So they took you texted them on Monday,
28:25
like, hey, what's the plan this year?
28:28
And they were like, well, actually, oh
28:30
no, really yeah, oh that sucks.
28:33
That's all right. Anyway, I'm here
28:35
and I'm happy to be here. What
28:38
a time to be a lot.
28:39
Well, listen, we do have a little bit of good news
28:41
for you.
28:42
I don't know if you'd gotten a chance to see this, but
28:44
uh, the Athletic.
28:45
Reported following, Uh I saw
28:47
this.
28:48
Yeah that that you
28:50
know, the Lakers are not only open
28:52
to bringing back Lebron James on a three
28:54
year, one hundred six four million dollar extension,
28:56
but they're open to drafting his son,
28:59
Bronni so Petros. We play
29:01
our cards right here. Screw beach
29:03
life. We got Ronnie life for the next
29:07
or usc when you got the Lakers
29:09
bade every.
29:11
Day I wake up, I lose another job. I used to
29:13
have so many jobs
29:16
I used to be. Now I'm more like
29:18
a Trinidadian jobs.
29:21
You only got tree job jobs.
29:24
I have to say, uh, I did
29:26
just wake up to that too. I saw it in Bleacher
29:29
Report that the Lakers were open, quote
29:31
unquote to doing all these
29:33
things, and it's just
29:35
like somebody gave the King on another
29:37
big mac odos of cialis
29:41
and he's going to continue to nail us here
29:43
in La.
29:44
We've been getting nailed by the.
29:45
King here for years and
29:48
it's pretty I have to say,
29:51
people aren't going to be into this, and
29:53
I'm not by people. I just don't mean like bitter,
29:56
angry, aging radio
29:58
types like my I
30:01
mean, Laker fans, people
30:04
that really actually care about this team.
30:06
This is not going to go over well if
30:09
they try to do this.
30:11
I understand the marketability of having
30:13
Lebron and what else are you going to do? And
30:16
we got to milk it for as long as we can, kind
30:19
of similar to the end of Kobe's career,
30:21
which was marred with injury
30:23
and first round exits and all those
30:26
different things.
30:26
That we kind of don't remember anymore.
30:29
But I saw that report
30:31
and it was like, man, that is
30:34
that is a punch to the stomach.
30:36
Did you hear his post game afterwards?
30:38
His walking?
30:40
Oh, it was so late. I mean I went to bed.
30:42
Okay, so if you want to hear it, it's about ten
30:44
seconds. I believe this was Dan Wiki who
30:47
was asking him the question. Yeah,
30:50
and so he asked
30:53
him the question, and this is how it Santa. Before Lebron
30:55
James walked off.
30:56
Tonight, was there any thought at all that you
30:58
know, this could have been last game with
31:00
the Lakers.
31:03
I'm not gonna answer that.
31:05
Appreciate it and that's just basketball,
31:07
guys, Yeah, that's it.
31:08
He's just basketball.
31:09
I don't know. I don't know if I
31:11
want to answer that it's just basketball. Yet you
31:14
know, maybe I'll wait for that. Petrock.
31:15
He's a great player, there's no doubt
31:18
he's one of the all time greats. It can't
31:20
be argued with. But man, what
31:22
a confounding person to cover. And
31:26
the thing is, it's like we're not none
31:29
of us are this dumb, but
31:31
Lebron probably is, and we
31:33
all just kind of go along with it, like, okay,
31:35
whatever you say, like it is amazing, and
31:39
I'm sorry that I never felt this way when
31:41
he was in Cleveland and Miami and people
31:43
would say, no, no, no, this guy is all
31:46
the weird.
31:46
Subtweeting and all that stuff.
31:48
This guy it's
31:50
it's it's insufferable, and
31:52
it truly is.
31:54
It truly is so good luck to the Lakers.
31:56
We usually have Genie Buss come
31:59
out every summer to one
32:01
of our events, you know, on
32:03
our summer thing that we do, and
32:06
you know, we just kind of grin and Barrett and be like,
32:09
hey, so, yeah, you're getting married to Jay
32:11
Moore. Okay, great, you know, like we
32:13
you know, we just tell her everything's awesome. I
32:15
don't know what I'm gonna do this, sir. You
32:20
know, if they bring Lebron back and draft
32:22
Browny, Like, how am I going to be, like, hey, welcome
32:25
to the show.
32:25
Gee, you know, like I.
32:29
Mean, I don't care. It's it's funny for all
32:31
of us. But if I was a Laker fan,
32:34
and I know there's a lot out there, if
32:36
you thought Kobe was polarizing, which he was.
32:39
People don't realize that, but Kobe was probably
32:42
the most polarizing basketball player in the history
32:44
of basketball before this guy.
32:47
And he happens to be here in LA and
32:49
unlike Kobe, he's not a lifetime
32:51
Laker or anything like that. And we
32:53
talk about it. All those things. They kind
32:55
of become on savory. And
32:58
it all started when he arrived in town and said
33:00
he was going to show up at a Blaze Pizza and
33:02
he never showed. A couple thousand
33:04
people came out there ready to see the King, and
33:06
what did they get to see? Nothing but the
33:09
blight that we live amongst all the time
33:11
here in the city of Los Angeles.
33:12
Nothing.
33:13
Yeah, but he did tweet a photo of him in
33:15
a swimming pool at the time those fans were
33:17
waiting in the sun to see him.
33:18
A believe Yeah, he's got a great finger on the pulse.
33:20
So what people want?
33:22
Hand on the shaft.
33:23
Yeah, he really does.
33:24
He's got a hand on the shaft of the remote
33:26
control of the world. We're
33:28
getting nailed by the king. Brady got to come down.
33:30
It feels great, Okay.
33:33
I try to uh yeah, well we have to wear a mask
33:35
on what that that happens, so I try to avoid
33:37
that. I'm not sure really
33:40
where to go from here. I I
33:44
understand the topic of the Lakers only because
33:47
I guess it's like, what are you talking about Bronni
33:50
Well, not so much even Bronne, Its
33:52
just like what are they selling?
33:54
Like? I actually think the Clippers are a more.
33:58
Well arena.
34:00
New Arena is going to open up next year and they got more
34:02
toilets than anybody in the history of the world.
34:05
Sweet because
34:09
all the vegan diets out there, all those evils
34:11
people are eating what they've done to Uh.
34:13
I thought there was spelled.
34:14
A kai are
34:17
joking. It's a joke, you were people
34:19
are sprinkling a fire hose.
34:21
Thanks geez, it's
34:24
so a defecation joke. Is
34:27
that the direction you wanted to do?
34:30
Well? I guess I said, grew yeah,
34:32
grow up? Thanks Listen
34:36
they're opening a new arena in Inglewood. Everybody
34:39
knows that. The thing that bothers me about it
34:42
is now that there's like these two big arenas
34:44
in Inglewood and they reopened the Forum as
34:46
a concert venue. Do you know they've
34:48
closed seven schools in Inglewood
34:51
since then? They closed
34:53
They're closing more morning Side High
34:56
and Morningside High schools where Byron Scott
34:58
and Lisa Leslie. Jim Herrick was the
35:00
coach there before
35:03
he went to Pepperdine. Now I
35:07
don't under the financial situation and
35:09
how they've been mismanaged or what have they been doing in
35:11
Inglewood over the years. That's
35:13
part of the argument. But really
35:15
what the argument is from what I understand,
35:17
is now that all these places
35:19
have gone to Inglewood and they've
35:22
kind of revitalized the community in a certain way
35:24
if you look at it like that where they
35:26
scoop all the hoboes out and stuff when they had the
35:28
Super Bowl to act like there's no hoboes
35:30
there. They
35:32
closed seven schools because the property is
35:35
so valuable now and they
35:37
can sell the property. Dude, they close seven
35:39
schools for kids in Inglewood. It's
35:44
so it's kind of hard to be like, yeah, I can't wait for this
35:46
new Clipper arena. It reminds me of
35:49
that story. And Morningside
35:51
High is the most recognizable
35:54
one because it's a high school, but the rest are
35:56
like middle schools and junior highs and stuff,
35:58
and it's all bs because
36:01
they're changing that whole city around because
36:03
the Clippers are showing up.
36:05
But hey, toilets.
36:06
I mean, as long as they don't touch Randy's
36:09
Donuts. I think that's really the most important thing of all
36:11
this.
36:11
If Randy's Donuts becomes a Krispy
36:13
Kreme.
36:13
Then.
36:19
Can I ask one question for we
36:21
let you go, or at least I don't know, maybe
36:23
another question after, But what
36:26
was your what was your opinion
36:28
on your boy Caleb getting drafted?
36:31
I mean, you know, a long
36:33
distance call from a mystery blonde.
36:39
I mean he was getting like there was it
36:42
would have been.
36:42
A shock if he wasn't right right, Yes, yeah,
36:45
I mean I'd find the draft interesting
36:47
later, you know, usually around
36:50
the time the second round starts, because like
36:52
that's when people I covered
36:54
a bunch get
36:56
drafted, right, like weird players
36:59
like that tight end from Kansas State. You
37:01
know, people like that, and that's
37:04
cool. I'm always excited to see
37:06
how that plays out because it's less predictable
37:08
and and that's kind of where
37:12
my football expertise lies. But
37:15
in the first round, I mean, you
37:18
guys got drafted, you guys went.
37:20
Through the process. You understand so much more about
37:22
it.
37:22
And that's why your show's so valuable, especially
37:24
around this time of year, because you can talk about what
37:26
it's like. I don't think people realize
37:29
what a difficult thing it is, whether you're Caleb
37:31
Williams, who seems to have a great deal of confidence,
37:35
or or anybody. The
37:38
draft is a really weird time because
37:40
being on a football team is like
37:42
you're you're always protected right
37:45
in a certain kind of way, by the pads, by
37:48
your teammates, by the tunnel,
37:50
by the sideline. You just
37:53
you're you're always kind of insulated. And
37:55
when you get done playing football, no
37:58
matter if you're going to be the number one pick in the draft,
38:01
you don't have.
38:01
That team anymore.
38:02
You've been spit out and you're now an
38:04
individual and you're just out there kind of floating
38:07
in space. And I guess these guys
38:09
deal with it a lot more nowadays with the transfer
38:11
portal and kind of the way individuals
38:14
have been celebrated.
38:15
More in the sport.
38:16
But I always think about that, like,
38:18
these are really young people and it's a very lonely
38:20
time, and everybody,
38:22
as you can see in their family and their periphery
38:25
and their girlfriend, everybody's
38:27
trying to be close to them in that moment. And
38:30
that part of it is kind of an interesting social
38:33
experiment to watch. But
38:37
for me, it's more interesting kind of down
38:40
the line where the guys start
38:42
getting drafted, second, third, fourth round, but
38:45
you guys have dealt with it a lot more
38:47
that weird kind of feeling in the draft.
38:50
And I just can't believe
38:52
so many people show up to
38:54
see somebody's name get called. And to Boo
38:56
the governor of Michigan, it's seven
39:00
hundred thousand people showed up for that. Like
39:03
hey, we're the Denver people. We wear big Denver
39:05
hats. It's like
39:07
like, did the NFL place you there?
39:09
Do they give you the sign? Like people
39:12
love football?
39:13
Man, I get it, but it's not foot log,
39:15
But it's not football.
39:17
They're not getting nailed by the King.
39:19
You're right, You're not getting.
39:20
Nailed by the somebody is yeah, Petros.
39:24
The rest of today Petros.
39:26
Sure the rest of the.
39:27
Day, you're getting it nailed. P.
39:29
Yeah, that's Petros.
39:32
Have a new oil that I'm using. Whoa

39:48
Patri Hey, how sad did
39:50
Joe Alt's girlfriend loove she
39:52
looks by.
39:53
The way, is it mere? Did he get up and like
39:55
hug everyone awkwardly? Or
39:57
when you're that big, do you just look awkward?
39:59
If they had him on the show, he seemed pretty
40:01
Uh. I was like, you're not gonna
40:03
go Hollywood, are you?
40:04
Joe?
40:04
You're not going to stop wearing that quarters him.
40:07
What he said?
40:10
No, no, sir, this was who I'm a I am.
40:13
No sir, no sir, Look.
40:16
As you already making fun of the notre dame guy.
40:18
I love him.
40:21
Uh.
40:22
The echoes, well,
40:25
there's gonna be some echos being waked up when the King
40:27
is nailing you today, buddy.
40:28
Yeah, would you stop it getting nailed by
40:30
the king. I've been saying it for
40:32
two years. It's like like
40:35
the guy in the eighties that just figured out where's
40:37
the beef, saying it over and over
40:39
again.
40:40
Where's the beef, where's the exactly
40:43
where it is?
40:44
Yeah, swinging
40:46
from the king.
40:48
Come on, we'll
40:52
see if Petros there. He is the great
40:54
patrospa egg is Uh yes.
40:57

41:00
a best. Can't stop, won't stop.
