Speaker 6 (01:43):
Yeah, I've gotta be the funniest ever. Everybody catches the
Jonas spirit. It's gotta be the funniest s ever.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Want you catch this?

Speaker 5 (01:57):
We did dancing.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I thought he missed it because the song was almost over,
and then.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Oh we're on.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Least started moonwalking and robot walking across across the floor
did a moon robot.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
Eddie Kane to life. He started going back and forth
with the hands and arms.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's a beautiful day.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Larada is over it, though I can tell she was
in it's run its course, she was, by the way,
we speaking a run in its court. I do have
a developing situation here outside the studio, like where we're
located in the studio now, which by the way, either way,
it's a tire rack dot.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Com studio syrac dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tire rack dot com The way tire buying should be.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Speaking of tires.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
So we were where we were first located in the
other studio. It was really sweet because you had this
view of the street so where you could see any
like if there was like the hobos, Oh yeah, bums
pulling knives on each other or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
People you try to figure out why are they working
out at this hour?

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Like what are you?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
What are you running for at this hour? Drug addicts, hookers,
strippers like you name it. They were on the dark
side of things. I was just thinking, like somebody's like
a CEO or something like that, and they're getting their
jogging like right now, literally like in their minds they're jogging.
I don't I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Uh, there's a U haul that has been pulled over
by police, and it'd be right in front of it,
it'd be right in front of the window. But we're
not in that studio anymore, but we could still walk
over there and look at it, and there's like four
or five cop cars. They're searching through the U haul
trying to find out what's inside of it, and so
we were just speculating what could possibly be inside.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
You said, I hope it comes back a body.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Like if they pull out just saying if they pull
out a trash bag with a human being inside of it.
We're gonna get on the news because the local news
will be here, and I think Lee needs to go
by and hold a sign up promoting our show on
the local new.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I don't know, man's head to the radio station. Dude,
you know I saw a bag. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
If if Lee did do it, could he be one
of those guys like spinning the sign.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
And dancing I'm talking about, yeah, poster like spinning it
and dancing it with like the old school headphones on
pulling here.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm fifty out, Lee, were you able to figure out
at all? Like what sort of what's happening out there?
Did you get any information?

Speaker 8 (04:36):
I was peeking inside the back of the ULU before
they closed it, before they closed it, before they closed it,
What did you see inside?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I saw a bicycle and some boxes. We'll bring him in.

Speaker 9 (04:58):
I didn't want to get all up in their business.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah inside, So yeah, we will keep you posted. Bye sick.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Nowadays you can be you never tell, all right, So
with that we bleed over to this LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn,
Jonas Knox with you here. The NFL schedule is out.
There has been some leaks, some rumblings. We're gonna have
all different aspects to the NFL schedule throughout the course
of the show. We're going to sprinkle them in here,
sprinkle over the next three hours. But how about the

(05:31):
fact that Netflix just decides, you know what, seventy five
million dollars a game on Christmas, that'll work. And so Netflix,
for one hundred and fifty million dollars on Christmas is
going to get the Chiefs at the Steelers and the
Ravens at the Texans, which is code for nice knowing you,
NBA and parts of your family, because those are prime

(05:55):
matchups we're going to get at barring health, everybody's healthy
and ready to go and playing for all those teams.
They've got some prime matchups for the low low price
of seventy five million dollars a game.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's awesome.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
I mean, how do you make money on this stuff?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
What do you pay seriously.

Speaker 7 (06:16):
I mean, look, I think I think we can simplify
this enough to say this, you pay seventy five million
for one game, all right, you've got well, we say
three hours, three and a half hours.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
How are we going to do it?

Speaker 7 (06:28):
How about this, Let's give the entire week leading up
to the game, okay, to advertise for it, to you know,
try to figure out ways of generating revenue around it.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
I just I don't know. I don't know how you
make money off of that, paying seventy five million.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
There was a time when and I think Pro Football
Talk and Mike Floyer used to write about this, when
the ESPN would would buy the wildcard games for you
for like twenty five million, and people would question how
you make any money off that?

Speaker 5 (07:00):
I don't. I mean, it's it's crazy. You look, obviously
they're paying for it.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
Folks at Netflix are smarter than I am, so they
must be figuring some way of making this work. But
it is crazy to me that there are whether it's
a streaming platform or networks out there that are willing
to spend this kind of money, and I don't know
if it always means they end up becoming profitable from it.
I'm not sure where this leads down the road, but

(07:26):
it's just it's crazy. It's crazy to see how much
the NFL is able to make for a singular game
on Christmas, Like, compare that to the NBA. What do
you think an NBA Christmas Day actually can generate as
far as revenue or profit or what even let's say
you're auctioning that game off like best two teams, What

(07:46):
is that going to go.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
For fifty bucks? You know, like, yeah, here's you know,
I do well, a bag of skittles. We're asking for
fifty But if you only got two twenties on you,
that'll work.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, that's fine, Strawberry shortcake, I don't know, creamsickle pop.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
And I know that discussion becomes, you know, with all
these streaming apps and places that you have to go
to watch it, you know, it's pricey.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
To be able to be an NFL fan.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
And some people have discussed that and kind of broken
down And we tried to break down the numbers last week,
and I think we all got more confused by the
numbers of different streaming apps and places like that. I
just I think the NFL knows they've got everybody by
the balls at this point, and I just don't see
a way that people are going to just push back
and say no, I'm sorry, I'm just not interested in

(08:35):
watching this anymore unless the product just gets worse and
worse and worse and lacks such star power, which I
just don't see happening anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Are there going to be in game commercials like a
regular network television game and do they control that?

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yes, they control it one and two. Yes, I believe
there's going to be.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
So, I mean, they may feel like they already have
enough advertisers to offset, you know, based off of what
they were willing to pay. They got to know what
they're willing to pay, right with the threat cold or
what they're willing to pay.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
So I'll simply try to kind of break it down.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
Right, if you have a broadcast partner, you're basing a
lot of your revenue off of advertising.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
A lot of people think that, well, yeah, you pay a.

Speaker 7 (09:19):
Subscription fee for your cable, But with broadcasts linear television,
you can tune in and get a signal, right, so
you can't necessarily bank on that. So let's just say,
you know, if it's a F Fox, a CBS, and ABC,
any of those NBC. You know, there's a broadcast thing
and you can tune into put the rabbitt ears up,
you can get that channel.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Right.

Speaker 7 (09:40):
So traditionally you used to say, like we can get
X amount of dollars having so many windows for commercials
that we've sold in order to make money on whatever
this cost to pay for it.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Right.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
So with Netflix, it's different because they have subscribers. It's
kind of similarly more to a cable model. The only
difference is like they're not being bundled in there, like
it's it's a direct to consumer. They know exactly what
every single person is doing that's subscribing to their their
streaming app. They know all all those things about you, right,

(10:12):
So they're paying whatever monthly fee it is. And maybe
it's with advertising, maybe it's not. Now that's what's going
to be interesting, is I think if you're going to
be a part of the live entertainment games. Even for
people who have a subscription that's a hiring a subscription
where they don't watch commercials, they're probably going to have
to in this case just because that's part of the

(10:34):
business model. So it's just it's a little different. But
again I think what a lot of a lot of
streaming apps and people are doing is they're just like,
we want in on this. We might not make money
at first, but once we get more like, we'll find
a way to make money off this when it's all
said and done, when we force people to come here

(10:55):
and subscribe and watch, you know, the different commercials and
whatnot that come along with these live events.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, I would just assume that there's so much data
connected to what you're able to collect as a streaming
service that strategic ad insertions is such a big thing.
At this point, you can almost predict out what it
would cost, like what each person or what each advertiser
would need to pay per I don't know, whatever it

(11:24):
may be, you know, per mention, what whatever the deliverables
would be. You'd have to assume they package this thing
up and they say, here's what we can sell, here's
what we can make, and based off of whatever it
is they would look at being their profit margin, you'd
have to assume that was why they were willing to
pay what they were willing to pay.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
No, I just think they're trying to get it on it, Like,
I really don't think they're going to make money off
of It's no.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's not necessarily that they make money off of it
per se, but they're definitely going to try to offset
the hard expenses connections to whatever it is that they're
doing well.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
I think what happens to if you think about when
you have a live event like that, you can base, hey,
we've got you know, maybe a Jerry Jones ten part docuseries,
and we're gonna get people who want to.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Want to watch that.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
What you're trying to do if you're a streaming app
is just trying to get people to stay there longer.
It's like any app. It's like Instagram. You know, when
you have someone who logs on Instagram, their entire job
at Instagram is to get you or met in this case,
is to get you to stay there because the long
you stay there, the more ads you see, the more
they can track what you're doing and what your habits are.

(12:31):
And that's the same thing with Netflix, even though it's
not the traditional applete we're talking about on your phone
in a sense, even though someone it's gonna be watching
their phone, that's what they're trying to get from you.
So it's not so much about just Hey, this game.
Do we make money off this one singular game or
these two games on Christmas? It's probably about everything else involved,
but it's also showing the NFL this is what we

(12:53):
can do, this is the product that we can sell,
and once they get their foot in the door, it
opens it up, think to allowing them to have more games,
more access to being a bigger player in the future.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
You know, in a weird way, COVID ended up being
a good thing for the NFL for Netflix.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I mean, because I just think that, and they've talked
about how like the UFC, the viewership for the UFC
grew during COVID because it was one of the only
events that was going on, and the NFL was able
to hold an entire season. There was no they didn't
miss any time, they had a Super Bowl, they had
all that stuff. And I wonder if you just look
back all these years later and go there were certain

(13:32):
businesses that thrived during all that or benefited from it.
There were others that were shut down and that's terrible,
but there were certain that have thrived because of it,
And I wonder how much long term success that gave
the NFL or revenue that gave the NFL the fact
that they were still able to put on in empty
stadiums an entire season, and it's led to everything they've

(13:53):
done here.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's crazy. So I have to think about that, they
went through an entire season.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Where nobody was there, like like make believe crowds and stands,
and yet here we are. And if you would have
said during COVID, Netflix is going to be paying seventy
five million dollars a game for Christmas games and be like,
hold on, say, can we just make sure nobody nobody
like dies of COVID here, we make sure nothing happens
here on the field, and just a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
She'll pivot. I'll tell you that. Crazy to think that
a streaming company that's going to take, you know, the
rights to stream old movies and documentary aries and stuff
like that. Now they go live and now you're starting
to see them again replaced. I was I was trying
to figure out why pay per view has been you know,
like for boxing, like why did show Time go away?

(14:42):
You know, why did pay per view and different things
like that go away? Because these streaming platforms is they're
they're monopolizing. I mean who whatever thought you're going to
go from that streaming Like if you think about it,
collid Escape was the first. Like that was like the
first you know streaming deal where you uploaded your your

(15:03):
DVD and you could go on to the platform the
Collide Escape and it was on demand for all of
the DVDs that you you know, uploaded to your system.
Oh yeah, I don't even remember that. Yeahs it's the
coolest thing. You go down, you download your DVD, you

(15:23):
can get rid of your DVD or you know whatever store.
Whatever happens, you know, they get scratched, they skip whatever.
That was the first streaming like you're streaming, but you're
streaming with the system in your home. Now it turns
into you have streaming like you know YouTube. Whoever thought
YouTube would turn into a place where you could see live,
live action on things or see, you know, something other

(15:46):
than just short form content being posted. It turns into
like almost they're their own TV stations now, like literally
the not even a station, they're their own TV like
their network. It's pretty crazy, man, It's pretty crazy because
you can continue to pivot as long as you have
the capabilities of being able to support what it is

(16:08):
that you're doing technology wise, you can continue to evolve
into things that you know, your mind can't even fathom
where it's all going. You know, what that fan experience
could possibly be going through these these platforms. I think
it's interesting because it's it's cutting edge, it's it's innovative,

(16:28):
and it's bringing it's furthering, you know, kind of this
whole where is where is technology taking entertainment? And how
does how does sports like a sport like football, how
does it how does it play a major part in
that pushing forward? So something intriguing the watch, I'll tell
you that because one of the biggest things we were

(16:48):
worrying about or thinking about with Prime was how how
is that going to work? You know, how's how's the streaming,
the lagging, all those things? How's it going work? And
I mean they got through it. There were a couple
of hiccups that seems like, but they got through it well.

Speaker 7 (17:01):
And they're still not reaching as big of an audience.
I mean, that's that's been proven. And and the other
issue is I think for for Netflix what's different is
excuse me, on Christmas Day, like you know, it's gonna
be a big game, like you know, it's meaningful to
the NFL, it's meaningful obviously to Netflix and everyone else

(17:21):
who's watching. So the difference is when you, you know,
sign up for a Thursday football packages, you're gonna have
some crap bad games, like, let's be real, and no
one's gonna tell you that more than Al Michaels.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
So it's just part of the deal.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
When you sign up for the entire season, one game
a week, not every single one is gonna be a banger.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
You know.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
It's like the old albums back in the day. You know,
we used to buy albums because pretty much every song
used to be legit. Well, as more things have spread
to more primetime, more of a demand by broadcast partners
and streaming you know, platforms and networks. You know, now
it's like, all right, a little bit different. You know,
you're not to have quite as many quality matchups. This

(18:03):
is a cornerstone to the NFL moving forward to squash
out the NBA and to highlight their product on a
holiday that the NBA used to try to cove it.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
Now it's all changed.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
So it's smart in the sense of like, yes, they're
overpaying for one singular game or two games, but they
know they're gonna get marquee matchups and an audience that
could be one of the biggest of the entire season
outside of you know, maybe as we get to the playoffs,
super Bowl, you know, that sort of thing. But at
least during the regular season, it should be a massive audience.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
That used to be the worst when a band would
come out or a group would come out with just
a banger of a hit and you're like, man, I
gotta go get that album, and then you realize the
other eleven songs sucks.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Ass. That's thirst night football.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Damn, Like, when's the single come out? What are we
doing here?

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, that's too bad.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Well, as gon have a stake at halftime.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
There is that. It is two pros and a cup

Speaker 1 (20:24):
My right eyes still seeing blue. My man, Oh, come
in to studio talking about yeah they're gone, Sure you
got some, you're gone too. I can't see Lorena. Jeez.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Lorena's got a tactical flashlight that was sent to her
by the Mallard Militia listeners.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
She just walking into the studio with that bad boy.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Just on go.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
She just said to LeVar. Down on the ground. So
that's how strong them them police officers flashlights are. They
flashed in your face. I get it, I could get
a dang. I still only see blue in one eye.
They still roll with like the old school mag lights,
remember those, like the black ones, because they can still

(21:11):
bang you up with it.

Speaker 9 (21:12):
Yeah right, yeah, LeVar, I got you with the one
thousand lumens.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yes you did, Yes, you did right my eye.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Dang.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
It is two pros and a company right here on
Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with
you coming up in. We'll call it about fifteen minutes
from now from the Tirack dot Com studios.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
People have been waiting for this to happen for years.
It's finally going to we've got the details.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
For you coming up here again a little over fifteen
minutes from now, and that'll do it for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It was nice knowing you, no Donovan Mitchell last night.
And the Celtics take care of business. They are onto
the next round of play, the winner of the Pacers
and the Knicks, and then the Dallas Smavericks take a
three to two lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. So

(22:04):
the way it looks right now is they're heading back
to Dallas for Game six in that series with a
chance to close it out. The dude who cashed out
on eighty thousand dollars as opposed to wait until you
know the yeah, yeah, that was so Thankfully he didn't listen.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
To us, because if this goes the way it goes,
listen to you. I thought we all did say I
would hold it a little longer. I did say. I
thought we all signed off on that, we all signed
off on that we are, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
We are, but the so well, Actually, I wonder what
the cash out value would be right now. You have
to think it's higher, lower, lower, But I mean there's
a chance that they build this thing back.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
There is a chance there there is a chance, there's
there's a glimmer of hope. Dallas shot really well. They
they were pretty pretty dialed in in this game, and
they shot well from the outside.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
You know.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
The one thing, the common theme that I'm seeing in
all of these games is slashing to the hole and
kicking out and shooting like that. I think you've said
that before, like it's a it's a league where they're
just they're shooting threes, like it's just all about shooting threes. Well,
the one thing that I noticed that OKC did last
evening where it was that they were going in, they

(23:22):
were going into the paint, they were getting in scoring positions,
but they were passing. They were taking an extra pass,
an extra two or three passes trying to find the
guy who was was open. You know, Cleveland did the
same exact thing, except Cleveland wasn't. They weren't moving around,

(23:44):
so they were giving the next like the opportunity to
cover and and you know, Kenny Kenny Smith like kind
of highlighted it when he was doing is is screen
you know demonstrations. But if you're gonna if you're gonna
live and dive out of three, you gotta make the threes,
and if you're not making the three, you've got to
start being more aggressive with how you try to score

(24:06):
in the paint because now you're not going to get
all that space to be able to shoot the ball.
And a lot of times you saw more contested threes
in the OKC game as the game went on because
you start realizing that they weren't trying to score in
the paint, they were merely going in there to divert
the attention away and kick the ball out to the perimeter.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, that's that's basically what the NBA though as a
whole right now.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
It's it's such a bad basketball because like, remember when
you're young, like one of the things they always teach
you is like don't jump and then try to ball. Yeah,
every single game, there's so many different times you watch
players they drive to the hoop, they jump to try
to draw attention, then they kick back out for a three.
That that is essentially what the NBA has become. It's

(24:53):
so it feels so less schematic than it used to be,
and it's just hard to watch. Like for me, I'm
every like it doesn't matter what game you go to,
you'll see elements of that. Four guys standing around the perimeter,
another guy isolating, trying to drive to the basket to get.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
Someone else to come in and help, kicking it back
out to that guy for three.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
That's that's that's an essence what every NBA game comes
down to, and whether or not you hit those threes.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, I mean it's a lot of shooting. There is
definitely a ton of shooting, and and if you're gonna shoot,
you better hit you know the else what's going on.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
The only two games Boston lost thus far is when
Miami and Cleveland got hot from three. Other than that,
it just no, there's no real chance. That just didn't
have enough. Cleveland just did not have enough offense. And
the one guy that would probably slash go in and
make things happen, Donovan Mitchell isn't in the game. I mean,

(25:51):
that's the difference in the series, is that Donovan Mitchell
isn't in the game. But again, I think you know,
Draymond talked about it.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
He highlighted it. Think they're going to have trouble, the
Boston Celtics, that is, if they don't figure out how
to stop the pick and roll and slashing guards, and
they're going to deal with slashing guards out of the
out of the West if they make it in, whether

(26:18):
it be Jamal Murray or whether it be Kyrie Irving,
you're going to deal with masterful slashers to the whole
that know how to create shots from all the different
spaces on the floor.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
So I mean they don't have to worry about Kyrie Irving.
He hasn't won a game against Boston, I don't believe,
since they're looking pretty dam.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
He's stomped on the Celtic logo. He's not on the
game there. Well, he did go in there with Frankin
since at one point in time though, like clear the
negative energy that might have surrounded him, didn't.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
He sounds like you're a Boston Felda that moment for a.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
While, LeVar, are you he? I had no idea. No,
I'm just simply all I'm doing a state in the
facts here by the way, in the Celtics, don't you?

Speaker 5 (27:02):
H do you?

Speaker 1 (27:03):
You guys like the scent of incense because I think
it's awful. I love incense. Smell grows just depends on
what I got going on, you know. Yeah, if I'm
in a real smoky mood and it's just real smoky. Uh,
you know, incense arm too bad?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Like Brady always tied because I was unaware of like
candle culture, like I was underwear like a lot of
people talking about cancel culture. Brady was like, let me
put you up on game on something called candle culture.
And I was unaware of the fact that when you
want to get the true scent of a candle when
you're going candle shopping, he said, you always lift the
lid of the jar off and smell the lid and
not the actual candle inside.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
That doesn't feel like the truth.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Why would Why would I make something like that up?

Speaker 5 (27:42):
I would make all that make up a lot of
weird stuff.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Sometimes makes candles that you really yeah from scratch. Well,
according to Brady, you gotta smell the lid, not.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
The ACTA tyler used to make candles and fight club
so soap. Yeah, soap, that's right.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
My bat and the bar used to burn soap. I
used to melt it like one time. It was one time. Dang,
don't don't you know?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
So would that technically be like an explosive?

Speaker 1 (28:07):
No? Because I was melting the soap. I didn't put
like a kind of a detonator or whatever, like the
whole connection into the soap or whatever. It wasn't like,
it wasn't sophisticated at all. I was just melting soap
with a with a match. So I mean it was
not it was not egregious, but apparently it was more

(28:28):
egregious than what I thought it was. There you go,
there you have it. Listen, thanks for bringing that back up. See,
I take a moment to be vulnerable with you and
you guys. You know y'all want to use it against me.
There you go, all right, I have my shortcoming. I
was a soap burner.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah, vultable. We use like everything against shonas.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh, that's that's true. All that I mean, don't make
fun of me melting soap. I mean, come on, I
could have been doing better things with my time I
did it. I was deucing it up and I was
melting soap at the same time. I mean, you know,
normal things that seventh grader would be doing. I guess
you've had some bad luck on the toilet though.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Why you say that you're like the Danny Glover oft
be Danny.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Glover because he was on the toilet when that bomb
went off and.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
Jumped into the tub.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, I was on the toilet when they had that
big earthquake. Yeah, I was in Maryland.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
I was.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I was in the studios.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
I know.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I always say, you know in the in the movies
where you see the white person fall down when they're
trying to run away and they end up dying, you'd
be like, how you do that? Why they're always falling down?
They gotta get away. I got admitt like I would
have been dead because I couldn't get up, I couldn't run.
Like you got to ask yourself the question, and I
realized that is the most vulnerable state that a person

(29:44):
could be in. Is something happening while you're mid mid
flight on on dropping off the kids. Did you wash
your hands after? Of course, I mean I went through
all the proper procedures and protocols of restroom use. But
in the moment, if that building would have went down
in a heap of rubble, I would have been They

(30:06):
would have found my body on the toilet, which is
crazy to think that that would have been my legacy,
like they found you know, people in the in the debris,
and and and LeVar Arrington would had his pants around
his ankles and was sitting on a commote like Elvis, dang,
is that what happened? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I think that's uh, I think you have that credit.
If that's not correct, we'll take it out of the podcast.
But uh, leam almost positive Elvis was on the toilet.

Speaker 9 (30:32):
No, yes, he had a heart attack on the toilet.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Well, I couldn't run, couldn't run, couldn't hide. So if
that building and that building was shaking side to side
and I couldn't get up, I was. I was there.
I was stuck in the moment. Still washed your hands though.
Oh when it was all over, it was like it
just never happened, you know. I continued on, finished what
I had going on, washed my hands, went back to

(30:54):
doing radio. You know, it's a real man right there,
you go. I was scared to death though I was
going to get I thought it was a water main break,
like I thought like it was going to be like
one of them deals where the water comes through the
bottom and it sprays you up to the ceiling, one
of those water main dips. That's what Yeah? Is that
what I said? Dis Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, Well listen, that'll wrap up our coverage of the
Cavs Celtics series.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Well, that's a rat. It's a rat. It's a rat.
They needings, they need they need to have that element
there because they they got to have a little bit
more offense and defense that they're going to beat somebody
in the West. You know the NBA would love a
Boston New York Eastern Conference Finals. Well that's what it's
going to be. Not giving the Pacers any chance. I

(31:41):
give them a small chance, but I think they lost
the series yesterday. I think both. I think I think
uh okay see lost the series. They can turn it
into a series if they're more aggressive, but I think
they might have lost the series yesterday.
