he’s just a guy who will give your team 51 Indiana is JT’s son watch him slam dunk for an A1 JT is number [Music] one and what’s exciting is that we have a new song for him today but also I sent him he has a new song for us yeah yeah he wrote it and I saw how he wrote him cuz he came up to me after the show on Tuesday and he was holding all these posted notes this is not a joke and he was holding all these posted notes cuz he he writes them in the when he’s answering phones in the other room cuz no one calls in so he just does that and uh he came up to me goes I have another song for Hardy and I went great you know hand it to him but he had a bunch of posted notes what but I sent him to my house cuz I know Hardy’s excited about this uh because I’m going HRA today I hadn’t heard that is that right I am what’s Hofstra it’s a university in Long Island oh why you going there my agent I got to speak at the talkers convention oh that’s know heard something about that it’s a fire sh side chat but I forgot CU i i i my backpack is stuffed with my stuff I’m taking on the plane like it’s got my computer and stuff because I have to go home get in a lift and go right to the airport but I forgot something of that I have that I I’m supposed to give Kendra and I sent uh mil’s cousin’s cousin to my house my house it took me 10 minutes to get there about 12 minutes for me to get here this morning I sent Milan’s cousin at 20 till 6 it’s 6:08 and he’s still not arrived at my home uh no way you sent him at 20 till 6 cuz you no no we met dude at quarter to six and I had sent him before we met so I’m not that far off I mean if if I’m far off it’s only by a couple minutes we met in that room at 5:45 I got here at 5:40 I asked you is it cool do you think it’s cool if I send Milan’s cousin to my house and you said yeah I think it’s it’s fine so then I gave him so no no before 6 before 5:45 he left for my house maybe he’s got one of those tiny scooters that doesn’t go very fast one of the he just got the 10in wheels keep everything moving along nicely yeah he just got there okay okay he is wearing a chain like you wouldn’t believe cuz I can see him on my ring now this is I was going to say according to your ring you don’t have him on a Life 360 you’re not tracking the intern’s movements 247 well it depends how close I get with him oh he’s having all kinds of trouble getting in my house ond watching this in real time yeah okay come on buddy you can do it there’s only two keys on that keychain oh you snapped it off in the padlock oh that’s a shame oh oh I’m not kidding dude oh no he’s is he in yet he’s checking to see if he’s at the right door no he he’s leaving he left God no he’s there I know but I on the camera I saw him walk away from the door oh no are you kidding me dude somebody call him do we have Tyler milin cousin’s number yeah I’ve got it yeah see we got call they call him and tell him that he to lift the now wait a second what what if that was him leaving no it’s him getting there I’m now okay now he’s back live no he’s still screwing around with the door oh he got in all right he got in he figured out how to get in okay it took him two minutes to figure out how to all right there’s two keys one hurdle cleared there’s a car key there’s a key to my ex-wife’s house and there’s a key to my house that’s all the key he was more like single zero for a logo 3 he doesn’t mind but what he said was I am the one Celtics will dance on the floor in the he asked me do you live in walam and I said no is that a problem I live in the next town over you know like I lived on the North or South Shore I wouldn’t have sent them but I mean I live it for real took me very close cuz I took 95 here today so that if I take 95 yeah I can get on because you’re going down Route n the reason it doesn’t make any sense to take it back is Route n but if you take Route 9 there’s no traffic I mean you’re getting here in it’s like eight miles I’m getting here in like eight minutes take Route 9 West to 128 North for a couple exits and you’re there it’s easy or 95 as it’s advertised 128 here we can go round and round on this again if you want it’s a Federal Highway okay it’s also a local highway it’s paid for by it’s maintained by the federal government by our federal taxes and from Lyn to Canton it’s 28 it’s fine and from the top of the country to the bottom of the country it’s I95 it get until it gets here the same I95 that goes through South and North Carolina is the same I95 that goes through and here it’s both it’s 128 and 95 fine it’s both but that I’ll go with it’s both fine it’s both but then the insistence on not the the claim of not knowing when I talk about when I say 95 is what’s infuriating I know what you’re talking about and it’s also confusing when people say 128 but I’ll fine if it’s both it’s both both that’s fine but then it should be called I’ll tell you why people call it 128 and why they do it on the news MH it’s Crash used to do local traffic in Atlanta oh he still does traffic in Atlanta he’s been doing traffic what Happ traffic is how he he affords that one-bedroom apartment but he uh he says like they’ll say stuff he used to do traffic he doesn’t anymore cuz he’s on TV but he used to make it up but he would say like stuff the Spaghetti Junction and these L connector yeah these like little terms that he would use and he just knew people just wanted to hear the terms they don’t even want to hear about traffic really they just wanted to hear the terms sure because they feel like they’re a local yokal at that point so the reason the news I can guarantee you the reason the news says 128 is to make everyone feel like a big local Yogo like to feel that provincial Pride that comes with calling something that goes through many many states for many many miles your own little thing how about how about this it also appeals to a segment of the audience that the NS uh that the news tends to appeal to and that is the older demographic so you’re talking about pre-1970 when joh people when it that’s when they joined made 128 and 95 the same thing okay well any anytime before that it was just 128 so that’s who that appeals to I’ll never call it let’s do a quick dive and then we will break because there’s not a lot of things that happened last night so we can go a little bit longer on this let’s do a deep dive into when I95 was built okay I can tell you that um the Boston Transportation Planning review the Focus Federal Highway funding on public mass transportation rather than building new highways 1957 oh so you’d have to be quite old thank you I gave you something to room in a pen my parents are very old and they would be 12 uh or no they would have been 15 in 1957 they were born 42 huh 42 about yeah not 51 Jason tat guy will your team1 how many n ones do you get on a slam dunk I mean generally the slam dunk is kind of you’re all alone powerful and people will kind of give it up if they’re close cuz they don’t want to be on a poster so yeah yeah go ahead yeah take do your do your SL very rarely do you see that yes but you know what milin cousin’s a freeth thinker he’s not going normal no uh milin cousin has he locked the door licky split that was not hard for him to do I’ll tell you that ring camera is something else I’m thinking about putting a bunch of cameras everywhere now I’m having like outside not inside okay cuz oh yeah inside because I can takee myself banging chicks and if Hulk Hogan comes over I can tape him uh banging my if I’m married at the time I can if I’m married at the time that Hulk Hogan comes over not in the past at the time and I happen to remarry yes not my prior marriage no I can tape him banging my current wife and then uh have it ruin my career as it did bubble the Love Sponge if you’re ever interested in something and you’re Bor and it won’t be now cuz the NBA Finals but if the NBA Finals ever has a day off you can do this Bubba the love sponge’s career in Tampa Florida fascinating listen to him when he was a night jock he would have kids on and say horrible sex stuff not good and then and then his career ended because he without Hulk Hogan knowing he asked Hulk Hogan if he wanted to have sex with his wife and he happened to have cameras set up in the room taped it then he went around bragging to his friends that he had taped Hulk Hogan having sex and so according to him someone stole it and then sold it and then here we are today all right so very good there you have it we found Tyler Milan’s cousin has gotten in and out of my home we have found uh I hope he took a dump that’s C fingers crossed then we found out that Jason Tatum is a Celtics player that’s right we found out that I95 was commissioned in 19 57 and the first part of it was built in Jacksonville in 1959 MH guys what happened last night I know for instance Oklahoma won game one of the the girls softball world series or whatever they call I wasn’t aware of it I know they talked about it for 40 minutes on ESPN they certainly did they have the Jess Jess mandoza talked lot about it so we got that I mean it’s Fred it’s all leading up to tonight because as you knows dance Flor the so some of what happened last night has to do with what’s happening tonight but we’ll we’ll get there we’ll get to all of it it what’s great is all the national media is here to hear Tyler mik’s cousin oh yeah I hope no one Scoops him up oh I didn’t think about that but this is a big day for him he’s got some of his stuff brand new stuff will be heard by the international ears people listening to the Celtics Flagship station this morning before game one they’re going to hear Tyler milikin cousin’s new song which spoiler alert is related to the NBA finals oh oh good stuff all right wait all those posted notes put to good use finally all right we will be back we should buy him a Loos Leaf notebook I think that would ruin the creative process I think he’s got his own way of doing things and this works for him we should have just handed Hemingway taken away his typewriter and just handed him a word processor and said have at it exactly I shouldn’t mess with the process right we should have taken away Isaac asman offs asof yeah taken away his what what what did he write on there’s sci-fi fan the Jurgens he was very had he a lot of dry skin all right so we’ll be back in just a moment toucher and Hardy on the way on The Sports Hub [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the you catch your game last [Music] night joking you said my bad and I was admonishing you how dare you all right hey we are toucher and Hardy uh it’s a very exciting day as it is game one of the NBA Finals Hardy in the finals and it’s very exciting because Tyler Milan’s cousin has a new song at8 and also has uh came and went from my home mhm he came in there so now he’ll have his scent all over everything it’s very exciting all right so very clean you know oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and he wears a chain well yeah outside of his shirt I wonder if he blow dries his hair he’s it’s it’s got some body to it and it has some height to it which I think might be accomplished with a blow dryer when’s the last time you used a blow dryer uh when I used to put sun in in my hair okay which probably e8th grade I at least that long for me does that when you go get your haircut do they does the the the barber ever take like a blow dryer to it real quick just no okay no no they they go do you want product and I always go no which I think offends them no because they want to sell you product it’s why they ask you if you want product you’re convinced everyone is trying to upsell you on everything yeah I’m this I’m a wild man that thinks the vet and the dentist is trying to upsell you I’m a real I’m I’m too crankies with a problem considering I have a fake tooth in that there’s absolutely no reason to have it cost me six grand and all it does is cause me problems meanwhile Wall Dennis told him don’t not to bother about it and my the mother my children the she just had a dentist tell her the same truth don’t worry about it and I’m just dealing constantly with this garbage in my mouth Yes I I stand by what I said all right find an honest dentist an honest mechanic and an honest prostitute did your father my father gave me that it wasn’t advice he’s like don’t be f about it you know don’t don’t don’t make uh friendships that aren’t genuine but don’t shy away from people in your life and if you can become friends with a doctor a lawyer a cop and a plumber yeah you should you should probably not shun those people just just have a sounds like Sol advice could have them around yeah yeah it’s true I’ve gotten so much from the police office Chachi come over over here you can sit on when I do breakfast with the Beatles if you are ever tired you can take a snooze I’m playing Love Me Do off the big 1982 remastering you’ll hear listen that love love me do you know I love you George really hit it and then John hit his wife oh I didn’t do it don’t say that well he did I mean I didn’t do it and I think it’s deplorable how about that look who back to cousing good job buddy good job buddy really he’s got a crucifix right about nip level oh nice look at that chain there’s no doubting he was more I am the one Celtics will dance Flor in the [Music] final that’s it we got to talk about what happened last night Fred go ahead all right I tell you what happened last night moonshot launch that one to left field well doctor PanAm Flight 220 outside of Fenway all AB Bo ding on train next stop lucky fan can we just hear the Home Run please you think this will get old 160 more times oh it’s up so high oh look at that I call that the Hancock Building Now launch that one to left well I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the crack of the bat this is annoying everyone and that’s why I keep doing it all right I’ll flight that long on to show a movie they launch that one to left field well hit that is up there up I’ll have the kosam thank you very much opposite field oh my bag’s too big Sunday the ti the ball game all right you can check it uh thank you to nessen for that sound of rafhael de Solo shot to make it one nothing you see his first did you see that home run John yes I did you see where he got that over the green monster do you see that was a low outside that was a ball almost in the dirt that he somehow lifted over the monster yeah he’s he’s good he’s really really good he’s really really strong is what he is yes he’s really really good two home runs both over that wall but the the first one was first really a difficult not many people in the Major League Baseball can do that it’s he is impressive and now there was an article in 985 the sports up.com about the possibility of trading him and to that I would say huh why for what for more prospects he’s the one reason you come to the ballpark to watch going he’s not he’s not old like he’s he’s still young you have him in his he’s how old is deor 25 26 come on I he’s got at least seven more years in his prime yeah he’s 20 he’s 27 he’s an old man trade him no part he’s part of it you have plenty of prospects the one reason why people go to the park I’m sorry are people going to the park I am you got a lot you got a lot of company there no it’s fantastic it’s great you can get in nice and cheap yeah no that’s that’s if you were going to go to a Red Sox game it’s easy it’s very easy to go uh I go back to when I sent you guys a picture of the one game I went to and it was 10 minutes before first pitch and you could fire a cannon off into a couple sections and not hit anybody it was embarrassingly bad $80 a ticket second row yeah about in a Dugout a Dugout not not a Dugout section so much as like by I was behind the Tigers uh batting circle like parking lots near the ballpark there’s one off of Beacon Street that used to be full two hours before game time right behind the ballpark that play that thing is half empty now yeah it’s great you can go right up Park less than 100 yards from the ballpark and walk in 10 minutes before game I don’t know why anyone would complain the one on Brookline a the one on uh the one on Beacon Street you go right over the bridge from Kenmore Square it’s on the leand side cost you $50 to park there that’s usually half empty yeah well whatever it’s great and I’m not being sarcastic it’s it’s fantastic I love it it’s exactly what I want from a town I want it’s not as cheap as some other places to get in like most other places but it’s still nice but the idea that you think on a Friday I would like to go to a baseball game tomorrow and you can yeah like with my son if there’s a Saturday four o’clock game and I go are you doing anything he goes no you want to go to the Red Sox game yeah like for 160 bucks I go to the game and then that’s reasonable for me that’s not impossible for me to go you know it’s not like going to a a Bruins game where it’s $500 for the two of us to go and then you got to go into the city the fenway’s easy for me I love it I love going to games I’m very much enjoying this season $160 a drop a had can of hiive money am I right wall yeah it’s it’s 1932 I I didn’t mean to to Really flaunt my wealth there well de’s meant to flaunt his batting prowess again in the seventh inning last night he’s going to drive this one high to left field backing up taking a drive on a Sunday bring the picnic blanket in the basket I’ll take a salami he’s going to drive this one high to left field backing up as K turnning oh fire ants let’s change positions so someone else has to sit in the fire an so you want to move the entire picnic oh the entire picnic let’s put it over here by the tree by the old oak tree where I’ll carve our initials and when I die you’ll go back and weep here has done it again up into the When We Were Young and love was pure SE in a monster day his second home run this afternoon your second marriage won’t be as good cuz you always remember that old oak tree where we carved our initials Alex cor very happy with his uh with his third baseman now he’s locked in staying on Fast balls using the whole field uh not chasing pitches hitting the ball the other way yeah he went in a hut streak and he hit six home runs in six days which is awesome now he’s very dangerous yes I would say so he’s hitting home runs on pitches that not many other people in the league could but let’s not uh let’s not forget the defensive side of things last night after all the Red Sox did beat the Braves as Wallock told you in the headlines tell you again here in a moment nine nothing what about Nick Peta had everything working made pictures got some swing on me stuff his last two have been solid been able to use everything um um um um I’m not going to be the manager next year yeah um how many days make a lot of money doing someone how many days left before I can get out of this place every witness just another dollar in my bank account from the next team how to strengthen my resume by finishing 500 with this collection I’m going to be managing the Cardinals next season much anything I’ll talk about the past he was a little bit hesitant when he came out of theil that’s normal but now it’s just a full go and you see the whip below one and then when you do that you’re going to be successful it’s been solid for a year and a half now what do you think it’d be like going forward what do I care I’m over here yeah all I’m concerned about is just get into October and then we’re done I’m just here to bolster my resume for next winter yeah I’m just I’m just here to show that I can actually manage with this collection of talent yeah I’m just talking to the Cardinals in ownership right now don’t wor about me when they fire that zero that they have as a manager how do you anticipate UHA next year and Beyond hey my name’s Paul and that’s between yall I got nothing to do with unless he’s playing in the national league let’s not worry about it all right so when we come back Hardy we have so much about what’s going on as tonight is game one uh I it’s almost like game four of the Indiana series was just uh you know 14 days ago 15 days ago it’s it seems like that it can’t be true but it does seem like that we we’ll be back in just a moment here are the headlines sports headlines it’ll be the Celtics and Dallas in game one of the NBA finals tonight at TD Garden Kristof porzingis will play

FanDuel sports book make every moment more with FanDuel now are they playing the Red Sox is this like a uh um barnstorming thing uh yeah uh I’m think of Montgomery Brewsters Hack and Sack Bulls when they put together a three inning exhibition against the Yankees MH yeah there is a a big fat guy uh that is on Spike Nolan is he the catcher yep I Monty’s gonna give himself the start he’s owner manager pitcher of the team I would hope he’d be able to give you three Innings but there’s a chance he gets yanked yeah oh oh and embarrassing and then gives a speech immediately after the game cuz everyone sticks around after a three-inning affair because we made our way all the way out here to hackin saac what are we going to do now we’ve only been here for three Innings we’ve been here for 40 minutes might as well stick around and see what he has to say and uh he’ll probably have a few words for the crowd not just about baseball and taking his hat off to the Yankees but also maybe about a certain upcoming election a mayoral election we’ll find out we’ll find out it was interesting though because I was listening to of course analysis of this series and uh I heard something I had not heard before and it was hey Jason Tatum why is there all this expectation on him winning a championship because he uh did not come in like a LeBron James into this league why is everyone expecting him to win a championship you know he was not the next Michael Jordan when he came into the league and to that I would say this is supposed to have been one of the best teams of all time this is his second NBA Finals they should have been in the NBA finals last year he’s the best player on the team he’s an all NBA first team yeah he’s a top five player in the league he’s playing for a historic franchise that is known for winning championships where does where is he on the all-time great Celtics list will have a lot to do with how many championship wins so I would say the expectation sure when he came out of Duke he was not the first pick in the draft in fact the Celtics had traded down and took Jason Tatum the he was no he was not supposed to be this good but the reality is he is this good and he has been here before and it’s not just Jason Tatum but Jason Tatum’s the best player on the best team in basketball you’re supposed to win they should have won last year they should have beat Golden State there’s a lot of times that they should have won so yes that’s the expectation if you’re the best player on the best team and this team is not won yet this is what the the expectations are we’ve we’ve run out of takes ladies and gentlemen there’s too many takes that’s it yeah watch slam D for A1 JT is number one more milikin cousin takes that’s what we need are those coming up later in the show we will we will okay you want to hear more about how poor zingis feels and how he thinks he’s going to feel and all that stuff Joe Murray says over under on games for him three and a half that porzingis plays yep okay he says that uh he does not believe that porzingis is going to play he doesn’t he doesn’t believe in the health of the life he hesitated when asked a couple of days ago if he was 100% so I can understand Joe’s theory on that I was I was convinced he was talking about breakfast in this clip I’ve uh practiced especially lighter practices I was lighter breakfast if I just have like half a grapefruit and uh maybe some coffee I’ve uh practiced especially lighter practices half a breakfast especially the lighter breakfast is yeah yeah yeah that’s not what he saying I’ve uh practiced especially the lighter practices I was I was good of course not a lot of time for me to get a lot of scrimmaging a lot of actual game minutes so in that sense it hasn’t been perfect obviously um but uh but yeah I’ve you know tried try to build up as much as I can leading up to this point and and you know from like all aspects you know and then and um oh just play the game already oh my God this is it’s only been nine days I don’t know what your problem is it’s been N9 days it’s it’s 10 days since the Celtics last played aspects and uh and and you know from like all aspects you know and no and um uh-huh yeah you know young John wallik it’s funny young John wallik one time was scammed he was reading MAD magazine and at the back of the magazine it had something called ass specs and what it was supposed to do is you put them on and then when you looked at people you could see their behinds yeah right from like all aspects you’re supposed to be able to use the aspects to see through the pantaloons or skirts of females and you purchase these and what happened W PUD huh yeah what happened you wanted to see through the dungies of the of the of the ladies that you were yeah got you know you were to shy to ask him to the sock hop yeah but you said at the very least I’ll be able to see what their what their bare hinies look like no no no you need a special glass to look through than will skirts in the winter all aspects yeah well and what happened when you got those aspects delivered to you in the mail it was a day to remember I put them on immediately and found out did they work no it was very disappointing but the fake vomit did that he bought oh no uh Patrick go ahead Patrick yeah this uh this break between Series has been so long there’s been only a few things that have really been interesting so I was wondering Fred uh do you think dor is Burk could help Milo with the bird situation oh that is an interesting now if you don’t know what Patrick is referring to my son uh has quite a a situation on his hands because when he sleeps at my house the birds wake me up and I can’t take the birds no longer dad you made a mistake when you bought the house there’s birds and you’re saying that Doris Burke if she has some time up between games one and two she could in town yeah I can hear them what I’ll need is this I’ll need a hunting knife I will need a black jacket don’t ask why Black Jack Black Jack yes because stabbing not only always works sometimes a good paling smashes the skull you mean like a I will use all those scissors use all the Furs for I’ll use all the feathers nothing will be wasted Milo I was D I was driving in I don’t know what he going to be up in that tree all day I’ll be in the tree will you need any food or water no I no no I bring a cactus up and soak the moisture out of it I’ll drink the blood of my victims had had en Vision this morning driving in of the The Producers for the TV going to find Doris and who was told that you know she wasn’t on set and they they go into her hotel room and Doris is going off Fred about dissecting the carcass that she had pulled back from the forest yeah and she’s like a like a dog when you uh try to take like meat away from it and right get away oh torus I’m cutting against the B you’re not cutting against the bone that is a burrito that you have unwrapped and you are pretending to dissect I can see I can see Chipotle on one side of the paper right there I was on a Vision Quest recently where I took peyote and the Visions have the Visions have come this burrito has become no maybe wild some bad guacamole but that that’s not poot that’s a burrito that’s a deconstructed I assure you I assure you and did Ias in the field oh no the maggots have gotten into the meat that’s rice that’s the the white rice maggots are good to eaten protein you can survive on maggot what do we have for tip off tonight W like what is the act it says 8:30 but probably a little later than that oh 830 is the like the the start time of the game they according to the TV 8308 it’s probably going to be closer to 8:40 or 8:45 well what’s fun is is where uh I have dinner in Long Island at 530 uh I will probably get back to the hotel at 8 and then I can lay in the bed alone yep and watch the NBA Finals yep like God intended MH and then get about 3 hours of sleep and wake right up and be on the air with us live from Hofer University can’t wait should be fun for everybody not good not good going to be fun and remember it used to be later than this they used to start games at 9:15 in the finals used to be worse than what we’re going to get tonight you think that in game one that the fourth quarter will be a slog or do you think that they’ll actually do you think that it’s just going to be a bunch of fouls and timeouts in the fourth quarter why should now be any different than any other game we’ve watched if it’s close yeah you’ll see a replay or two there’ll be a bunch of fouls the last two or three minutes will take about 15 sure yeah this is that’s the playoffs unless it’s 130 to 100 one way or another yeah and even then sometimes it gets silly because there’s physical play at the end and the other part of it is as the Celtics proved earlier this season you’re not necessarily safe with a 30-point lead so even if it’s 125 to 105 with 10 minutes to go the game won’t be over a lot of files challenges sure all right well uh Kendra Middleton has just walked in she is here everyone was very concerned last week when she was not here as she was Ill she was Ill Doris you have anything to do with that yes she poor poor lady had never been in the Amazonian jungle really there’s many many many species that can cause great pain you took her hunting if one is not immune yeah we parachute in to kill some stuff sure how do you develop immunity to these different strains and insects and animals voluntary stings if you see a hive for instance stick your hand in well you you don’t watch these insects crawl up your arm and watch them bite you well it’s fun because when on iasa sometimes I can’t tell what’s a vision and what is real all I know is it all brings pain and through pain life has meaning JJ what do you zil go Zone tonight uh by the way uh JJ reic we have audio of him continuing not to say anything he’s really on this press tour that’s just awful I don’t know why he’s doing these things I don’t know who he’s ingratiating himself to no one this is he wants the Laker he’s going to get the Laker job I I really think he should bow out of these games there is there is a suddenly a new Contender for the Laker job as of as of about 90 seconds ago oh who well we don’t have time so who just tell Danny Hurley of Yukon W is reporting that the Lakers are preparing a massive multi-year contract offer to Danny Hurley for the oh how great would it be if reic didn’t get it I think it’ be spectacular if reck didn’t get it after all the double talk and I know something you don’t know but I can’t say it I that would be fantastic if stuck in this job how great would it be for Yukon oh to lose that you just lost Hurley now it’s all over yep so smug yep and now it’s all over all those fans all those fans back back to stores Connecticut where no one pays attention to you yeah H have fun getting knocked out in the second

the chicken and open the mouth like we were meant for each other this is why you need us 985 The Sports Hub now more taner and Hardy on The Sports Hub hi hi hey everybody we’re toucher and Hardy brought to you by FanDuel sports book oddly unsettling I know I don’t like it when it’s quiet in here you can watch us on YouTube where I hear it’s not so nice maybe you could be the one who goes and cleans it up starts kicking ass in there search 985 the sports sub on YouTube and subscribe uh Kendra Middleton is here she’s brought to you by grab King sports book hi Kendra hi long time no see how’s it going I know you were very ill you were vomiting everywhere yeah I really was I told you guys during the break that whenever I crave potatoes and orange juice I know that I’m getting sick and that’s the only cure it’s like my Spidey scents started tingling that I’m getting sick I need potatoes and orange juice okay but you know what that sounds like that sounds like that you’re pregnant okay well I would have to be like the Virgin Mary then maybe you are maybe I am yeah hold on a second okay you thought you were getting sick with like a cold or something just anytime that I’m getting sick of any sort I start craving potatoes and orange juice I don’t know what it is it’s been this way since I was a kid but does it always make you sick when you consume the two together no I don’t even consume them before I’m sick it’s just when I start craving that that’s I always get sick I went to bed craving that woke up at 1:00 in the morning went and threw up in my shower she didn’t eat it she didn’t eat it not yet but I did when I was sick I had a hat running orange juice cuz that’s what I always do all right you’re sure you’re not pregnant um I’m positive I mean not positive inapo inappropriate question Fred why is that inappropriate you should never ask a woman or she’s pregnant I’m not saying cuz she looks pregnant oh it doesn’t matter you should just never ask if a woman’s pregnant sensitive subject is that a sensitive subject Kendra not for me but maybe for some people well would imagine if a woman was heavy and you said are you with child that that would be something that’s really more of a foot and mouth type of situation Daisy wait let’s explore this how is it I’m I’m honestly quite because because some women are trying to get pregnant and sometimes have difficulty doing it that’s what I was going to say and or some people have pregnancies that are problems and they just the the whole issue of pregnancy is a sensitive one for but I think it’s a miracle it is a miracle but it’s but it’s I’m jealous to have a birth and ovaries I’m trying to help you on this one it’s something that a lot of people are sensitive about oh I well I was I I was uh seriously ignorant to that I did not know that if someone said I crave food and then I felt ill which is often so do you not have cravings no none no I mean to kill but other than that no okay I mean I I often you know inanimate objects or the radio will tell me to kill mhm but uh I’ve been so far ignored such impulses uh by the way if you missed it uh John was talking about I forgot to come out with it but John was talking about this man JJ reck he was on felger and Maz and gave us the following JJ if they as I’m sure you know there’s been like a pass fail sort of All or Nothing approach or perspective on this season they either win it or they don’t uh it’s been you know pass fail for lack of a better term if they were to not win the championship why do you think it’ll be um if they don’t win the championship it’ll be because the better team won all right so that’s absolutely atrocious he’s deliberately being a prick he’s not an idiot I mean he’s deliberately being a prick he’s the analyst for the NBA finals and the reason perhaps besides being a prick who got a DUI two weeks before the NBA draft who was going to come out with a rap album as early as two as late as 20 n he was going to come out with a rap album he thought it was a good idea to come up with a rap album with Beats made by Chris Anderson another white guy in the NBA this is all a big mistake the Birdman was producing is that right apparently the bman fely accused of some things that which is unfair of the media and but and that’s serious but JJ reick who is a flawed human as we all are but acts like he’s above it all got has this little podcast with LeBron James where they stroke each other and then now I’m going to be the big coach to the Lakers but now they’re saying what w w reported about 15 minutes ago that the Lakers even with JJ reck the prohibitive favorite and he played Cat and Mouse with it yesterday are preparing a massive contract offer to Yukon head coach Danny Hurley and you know what I have to say to that if Hurley gets it um not that if they don’t win the championship it’ll be because the better better Coach the better Coach if you don’t get it the better Coach got it y dumbass now how’s it feel and I hope you get fired from ABC too how about that if you’re going to come in here with this half-ass analysis now how do you play the game how do you play the finals now that you know you don’t know you have the job now you got where do you go now this is why I think he should have bowed out of this this is why I think he should have bowed out calling the finals it’s because now he’s in a situation that sucks here let’s explore it this is fun so he doesn’t know if he has the Lakers job but if he does if he wants the Lakers job what does he have to do during the finals as a broadcast neutral as but not piss too many people off which will make him a bad analyst very good now if he’s a bad analyst what might that make ABC do fire him so now prick I hope you don’t get the Laker job and I hope you don’t with your little rap career I hope you you don’t get the Laker job and I hope you get fired from ABC next time you do felger and MZ and all of you that went oh felger and MZ they’re dicks and oh yeah they were asking stupid questions no no no JJ reck was doing it to be a little cutie pie uh prick and came on to promote something and and then sat there and acted like an indignant a-hole and he could have just said he was being obtuse to the point where it sounded like he was trying to do like a bill bellich imitation I’m going to practice being a coach right now and not really answering any questions you should have heard him he he was on gool’s kid was hosts a show on ESPN he’s good yes so he was a guest of gox’s kid and another guy and they asked him directly are you going to be the next head coach of the Lakers and he said after the finals because it was a Shams shiria report he said after the finals I will address the Sha’s report being all mysterious a you know what I know something you don’t know but I’m not going to talk about until after the finals are over I think based on that he thought he had the job of course he thought he had the job the Lakers this morning go you know what you have no head coaching experience whatsoever anywhere let’s get a guy who’s successful at it yeah and good luck keeping LeBron James around to do your dumb podcast so I hope you’re stuck doing podcast for the rest of your life he’s a real arrogant prick he really is not a good person I don’t like him how about that and Danny Earle I like he comes in he’s an arrogant prick too but yeah but he’s a great coach yes he is he’s a great coach so you bring him and you make that money you go coach that Laker team and it’s also fun CU now all the Yukon people are back to ground back to square one see you later good good to Ben you didn’t have to deal with a sea at the a sea of the ATI Garden like I did no I did I couldn’t go because there was a SE I was there man trust me no they priced me out of the game I wasn’t going to pay that kind of money to see a game I didn’t want to go to sitting up in 300s with the Yukon people it was really something I just spent $400 to see the Savannah bananas on a Saturday night Kendra are you going to see the CRA Savannah bananas now that we know you’re not pregnant I don’t know how we went from pregnancy to that epic rant uh no I will not be going to see the Savannah bananas ever why why because what’s wrong with the Savannah bananas they put a hell of a show it’s cool that they have fun I like that it’s a good time whatever are you a baseball purist is that the problem no I’m not a baseball purist I just think that it’s stupid I’m not going to spend all that money to go watch some grown ass dudes do whatever the hell they do I don’t know it’s just not my VI down there for second some grown ass some you know what I think about the Savannah bananas I think that it looks like the it looks like the Red Socks when they’re in the Outfield are slipping on a bunch of their leftover PES uh yeah so no I will not be spending that absurd amount of money to go watch Gro men dance shirtless I mean half the line might as well be using bananas as bats I I like that women are into it though like go for it I don’t whatever women are into it yeah the girls love the Savannah bananas especially because most of the boys are ticktockers or whatever o yeah that’s fun did you if you had a child would you take them to the Savannah bananas if they wanted to go that’s what I’m doing Kendra Zoe I’m taking Milo Zoe has a bar mitzvah let’s be honest it’s Bar Mitzvah season she’s in seventh grade there’s we live in new there’s two or three bar misses a week can’t swing a cat in any direction Temple beod is bumping I got to tell you it but it’s nice because it’s right by where I live so it’s a very easy commute John John did you ever go toart Temple Beth is bumping is that what you just said temple bethod aod is making more money this year so this is this is like the Christmas rush for Newton based DJs confetti Canon operators balloon the pro dancers the pro dancers that go with them oh yeah balloon arch makers all of that stuff oh well you would know about that so if yeah if you are having balloon you’re the balloon guy right I’m not balloon sculptors I’m talking about the big beautiful balloon archers s he put on a show he didn’t just design things my Mist sorry hard I didn’t mean to insult you yeah but you are constantly disciplines my my daughter literally two or three bar mitz was a weekend if you uh are having one you’re being judged on your food yeah you’re being judged on the gift bag a kid just gave slides away the last one she was at slides oh yeah how do I get invited to one of these parties it’s a thing I mean I I kendri you have to make you I guess you would have to ask me again ask me what you just asked me Zoe must be popular ask me what you just asked I have an answer to this how do I get invited to one of these parties where they’re giving away slides you want to go first stop turning your back on the Jewish exactly maybe get some Jewish friends how dare you Kendra I don’t think I have any actually I have one Jewish friend oh thank God how is that possible in Boston in Jacksonville that’s got to be easy how is that possible in Boston thank God you have one oh my good you have one right you have one right over here oh I’m sorry he’s no longer identifies tendra I I try not to feel Superior over people but I do have more than one Jewish friend in fact I keep a list of them for obvious reasons I I am up to four I have so many can’t keep them straight I keep my eye on them keep your both know yeah come you and I both play golf with Barry seagull so we’re cool with that oh God is I just want to slide you guys do they have to get everybody’s uh sizes ahead of time like all the invitees well that’s the beauty of slides Hardy is that when it’s a velcro situation you’re pretty much uh and I don’t think it was really for them to wear them as much but my daughter will wear a what the hell are they for I think just for fun you know no were they nice slides yeah we’re judging these gift bags what kind of slides we talking about here exactly well since they were from a 13-year-old for a very important day I’m going to say they were great slides I I they were fine I don’t know I I mean are they OS those things yeah what’s what is kany what they were Kanye he’s very popular with the Jewish Community right now no he does you know Kanye slides they used to be like $400 now you can get them for 75 bucks no no they were they were like slides with the 13 the kids name in 13 on Oh you mean shoes slides they I thought we were talking about like a water slide all right okay all right my hair color is natural you guys oh man where do you go from here all right very good break hopefully Kendra’s here we have a call uh she’s still sick she’s not feeling Hugh wants to talk to Kendra about betting so you keep H Hugh on that line uh and we have Kendra Middleton here who has a Jewish friend W but we do have legitimate NBA Finals betting to talk about oh yeah yeah yeah Kendra’s been red hot this year there’s no question about you I need you guys to go back to hating on me because I was hitting so hard and then you guys gave me praise and I bailed for Monaco yeah but do do people get on you for the F1 stuff no because I’m I knock on wood I’m usually you know fine yeah what were you had problems with the Monaco Rays yeah uh yeah I that for staing bet did not pay off I know I’m convinced that okay there’s a lot of Ferrari beef I don’t want to get into it I know people don’t care bingo so let’s talk by people I meany no no no no people the reason why you didn’t get a lot of crap on it is no bet what you told them to bet when it comes to Formula 1 that’s not true Hardy four people whole social Med all your Jewish Friends BET on all four of them all four W Johnny walg no I leg we have real things to talk about I I got a long discussion about the MVP uh futures for the NBA Finals I think this will be a fun one Fred because I I think I have excellent take when it comes to uh betting the MVP uh stuff for the Kendra has made me money this year there’s no question about it she was dead on with the NFL draft she was very hot after that it was okay that’s all over now we’re moving forward N I love that me and Hardy have fake beef over what I don’t know we’re just he’s he is rude to you I mean I don’t know why but I guess some of us I mean why don’t you ask her about pregnancy some more I still are you being sincere that that you’re not supposed to ask people about that oh that’s that like it’s not from Kendra but that’s like an HR situation if you start even jokingly talking about people being pregnant yeah even if they say I had a craving and then I got nauseous which is are two signs of being pregnant am I alone on this one guys you don’t do it right you don’t make jokes well I’ve heard that you do not yes re you really I have heard that yeah okay well you learned something every day I thought it was a beautiful natural thing that was it is but not everyone is able to experience that Miracle Joy or wants to or maybe has had and it brings up so wouldn’t you just say I’m not pregnant for them are you pregnant I wish I’ve tried everything possible medically but they still say no well you don’t have cravings so I guess you can’t be pregnant no no but that’s the dream they’re pumping me full of hormones I do have breasts that we can agree on Hendra I have beautiful bosom and sensitive nipples sometimes but this is the way I live remember you asked oh that was my first mistake yeah I see I watched the movie twin the one where Arnold Schwarzenegger gets pregnant what was that movie Junior Commando no he’s not pregnant in Commando this was more of a com romp no Predator was uh oh true Li Predator was from Subway story it’s a running man that was a documentary all right very good Kendra is here we will talk about gambling with with Kendra and we will be right back you’re listening to toucher and Hardy are the sport [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you think that would have gross people out uh no I I think it would have been fine oh yes so I agree with you I think it would have been I thought it would been funny this one I agree with yes I thought it would been funny I just got mad all over again it was like a secondary wave of anger that we had a 90c conversation about slides being given away at a bar mitzvah and Kendra the entire time thought they were like playground slides how would you give away slides how would you or water slides How would how would that be given away as a gift as a party favor here take a slide here we a trip to Water Country perhaps cic we got a fleet of U-Hauls out in the parking lot to take your slide home with you because if you’re sitting here bragging about what you’re giving these kids in these gift baskets and they better be impressive why would a pair of shoes impress me no I want a water slide I’ll tell you why Kendra because you’re not plugged in to the bar mitzvah circuit I’m I I could no I went in Jack in Jacksonville were did you were there any bar mitzvah yeah I went to a couple I went to a couple Bar Mitzvah and a couple bot Mitzvah and I had way more fun at the girls parties yeah these are no I think it’s like half and half but uh they’re big guest list these are Big Affairs Temple Beth aod I think can fit 15,000 also the sizing for the slides was just also a thing that never would have crossed my mind like how do you how would you pick sizing for all your guests so one slides real water slides are one siiz fit all hello the sizing would be easier for water SL I’ll give you that in Kendra in Kendra’s defense she does get as her shoe size a lot but also the uh it’s true you know the there was one by mitsvah that Zoe went to and you know in front of the used car lots the thing that they and and it blows around they were giving those away yeah what they were just like hey in case you want something go to more of these parties there has to be some gossip among the parents about the budgets for some of these bar yeah that’s all we that’s all we talk about at the table sure what’s the what’s the biggest number you’ve heard thrown around it one that you’ve either attended or heard about over 100 Grand Yeah well yeah well over 100 Grand sure my the mother of my children’s uh B Mitzvah was you know well let’s say it was in like 90 it was uh I think it was like 30 grand it was like a lot of money over 30 years ago yeah 30 grand that’s a wedding yeah it was more they run that WD my wedding was just like a little bit more than that and my ban was $10,000 for my wedding so and I and it was in no no what I’m saying is that my wedding years later was the like a just about the same price with a $110,000 band and it was in Grand Bahama Island so that just shows you that a Suburban Philadelphia B Mitzvah was that much money can you imagine like how lavish it was yeah like I had a lot of expenses that were just based on location and the band that I hired that this this was just like food and everything else but they’re crazy they’re CRA well these have all seemed fairly reasonable I never have invited myself sometimes their mother’s invited and I just look through the window cold outside I just pressed my face up against the window right seeing what they’re giving away and being jealous but uh yes the slides were a big thing you don’t know that it’s usually sweatshirts but then it was slides it’s fun well I want one of the like air blow up things now too yeah uh yeah e tomorrow’s B Mitzvah Big Time sweatshirt game that’s all I’ll say all right Kendra Hardy you have uh let’s do this first let’s take Hugh Hugh I want to talk about Celtics can um I president bet a $500 ra on the Celtics and I B one person on $100 million what you think about that all right he is a $100 million Kendra that’s way over how would you how would you spread that around how would you spread the $1 million around uh I have lots of bets on this series I’m going to have some kind of as the series moves along too for game one I really like Luca’s over for rebounds it I got it earlier this week it’s sitting at nine and a half now I would still take it but if you can do a little bit of shopping and get either an eight and a half or a nine you’re not going to get an eight and a half at this point but a nine or something like that uh same as n and a half obviously but you’re I I think that he could put up a triple double tonight they’ve had so much time off the Celtics love to shoot the three I think that that’s probably something they’re going to try and continue to do because it’s been their bread and butter all year and Luca is just kind of a dog like and I think that he’s going to be crashing the boards I think that he’s going to be their bully this series so I I think that that’s a good bet I think it’s currently sitting at plus 105 um I have the Celtics in the first game I’m probably going to lean to take the Mavs in game two just because outside of the Pacer series it kind of seemed to me like the formula for the Celtics is to drop one at home and I could see that being game two uh so especially with the time off like we don’t really know what porzingis is going to look like I could see them coming out swinging tonight kind of feeling like you know Jason Tatum has something to prove after Jaylen Brown won the Eastern Conference MVP um for you know the the finals I just I there’s so many things that you can do it just depends how you want to bet this I did give out on you guys’ show a couple weeks ago the jayen brown MVP Plus 500 that’s moved to plus 650 if that’s kind of how you want to play the finals that moved wow isn’t it interesting moved I got it at 600 and I think I saw it at 650 last night is that because of the Luca and Kyrie factor I think it’s obviously the more time that we all have to sit here and come up with these takes and these and everything like that the conversation evolves the more we look into the way that you know uh Luca and Kyrie have been playing together the the defense that they’ve kind of been able to play I think that that’s probably why it’s like maybe the Mavs got a little bit more juice the longer people sat here and thought that’s certainly true Nally now Kendra I have a question will this affect your bet Luca betting my friends playing golf with him on Friday uh no I don’t think so um also game one situation blew that off like it wasn’t impressive all right act like you’ve been there before Fred well I haven’t who’s the coolest person you’ve ever played golf with oh well certainly no Jewish people I’m in the same camp as you Kendra Gorman maybe yeah Gorman probably Hardy you got a flex golf guy uh Mark Hoppus and Tom Dong from Blink 182 that is a FL Hardy they were fun I have a feeling Hoppus is very good because he he’s a like a conservative guy a republican it was it was like an executive course like a par three course in Vegas it was kind of like a thing but it was I mean it was those guys showed up like 20 minutes late of course and the course was pissed they were like you guys have two tea times here and we’re book solid today and you’re not going to be able to get out there I don’t care who’s coming in what you’re doing is a radio station promotion we’re like we’re sorry the band’s not here we’re supposed to all go out with you know these three listeners and you know those three in the band and they’re like well we don’t know how we’re going to be able to accommodate you so it was it was Hoppus and it was dong and they roll and they’ve got one of their bodyguards with them and they walked into the it was the Callaway Golf Center with a par three course and a big Pro Shop attached to it and they walked into the pro shop and said you know what we need extra clubs for a while we’re on the RO we have you know what give me of those give me three of these we’re going to set up The Bodyguard with his own club that they dropped I don’t know7 8,000 in five minutes just buying everything in the store Rodney Dangerfield catty Shack style and after they did that the golf course people are like do whatever you want go out and play as an eightsome we don’t care it’s a pleasure to have you gentlemen have fun yeah and after that then we did it was great and then yeah who stepped up the duck no that’s right okay Kendra yes the MVP odds yes all right so you mentioned that the the Jaylen Brown money has moved up a little bit Jason Tatum still at like what minus 180 something like that yeah okay I was having this conversation last night a buddy of mine said I want to take Derek white Derek white is at 3 maybe 3500 yeah I’m trying to pull it up right now okay I said uh that’s a good payoff I agree with you but if Derek white ends up being the best player for the Celtics that means the Mavericks win the series and Derek white won’t get MVP the way MVP works there’s no way Derek White’s going to get it there’s just no way he was he was trying to justify it he’s like I’m just going to put 20 on I’m like you’re throwing your money away he said what if he hits a couple of gamewinners I said that’s fine he’s not going to get MVP because if he ends up being the most valuable player just for the Celtics the Celtics won’t win the series it’s a seven game series that was my that was my take and I agree if it was a one game if it was just one game and Derek there’s very it’s very possible the Celtics could win and Dereck white could be the best player on the floor but over seven there’s no way I agree with that so uh Tatum’s currently minus 115 donic plus 205 Brown plus 650 and Irving plus 2200 I think that this is going to be a top four player finals like that’s just how it’s going to be it’s going to be Luca and Kyrie and it’s going to be the Jays and I think the long shop money would probably be on Kyrie Irving I agre with plus 2200 MP I I still probably wouldn’t take Kyrie I am looking if it’s if it’s going to be the Mavs I feel like it has to be Luca it just does I think so but the payoff really isn’t all that I agree plus 205 is you know fine I don’t think that they’re going to win this series I do have the Celtics and six but for me I get the discourse surrounding the best player is the one who wins the finals you know we see all of these pictures of the guys who you know they win the finals MVP they win the regular season MVP they win the finals Trophy and they’re sitting there in the postgame with all their trophies doing their postgame press conference I get that aspect of it um but I just feel like it really does have to be either Luca or the Jays and it’s only because Jaylen Brown has been so good as of late that I feel comfortable taking him as my quote unquote long shot yeah I think you’re right about it being one of those big four in ter of MVPs and to make any money any real money on it that’s why I think Brown and Irving are probably the two best yep I agree with you 100% all right and I will say I did give this out on Saturday just to uh poke at Dan LIF shett so I’m going to give it out here again because I love to poke at G when that happened um he his finger has bird flu right now so probably not I saw that that’s very strange wait what happened condition he the entire time we were here H WR finger has bird FL Jesus he I guess has an infected finger and said he didn’t sleep and he was up all night and it was like this big deal and he posted a picture of it and I love Dan but I also love to mess with Dan Dan is being an absolute pants girl well he said something he has a a very low tolerance for pain oh Jesus and he posted a picture of it and it’s just it’s really not that bad like I get infections hurt and you use your fingers like finger pain toe pain mouth pain all you know I I get it trust me I’ve I had some disgusting injuries but Dan come on your your infected finger is really like just chop it off be a man rub some dirt on it I don’t know anyways I’m taking what it look like I’ll show you on Twitter it doesn’t look like much I saw a picture of it onwi why you take a picture of it because I was giving him so much crap about his stupid little finger so you’re saying he’s like kind of a puss I don’t know I don’t think I’m allowed to say that you think he he he couldn’t take a beaten but I’m saying I’m taking p Washington over 11 and a half points tonight to mess with Dan okay okay all right one one other quick thing poor Zing is over under what is that under I think they’ve got to load manage him they cannot win this they cannot win 15 or 16 and I agree with her there’s no way especially first out of the block do you think that Joe Murray because you’re down with the bankr boys Joe Murray last night doesn’t think porzingis can play the whole series um I would probably agree with that I wasn’t overly excited as a consumer about his interview when asked how he was feeling if he could run without paying that whole situation it wasn’t convincing for me and I get that English isn’t his first language but he is extremely fluent like I don’t think that it was a language barrier issue as that’s been discussed on other shows I agree so I think that it’s a miracle if he plays 20 tonight um I I don’t think that they can win this series without him now they need they need his size all right you can’t you can’t run Al Horford into the ground in a series and expens because you know Derek Lively is actually been very good for them and he they got him because they tanked and they were punished Mark cubin had to pay a fine but they ended up with Derek Lively which is one of the reasons they’re in the finals Kendra Middleton how do people find you um you can find me on Instagram and most places at Kendra Middleton and then Twitter Kenny with an i Middleton but don’t follow me on Twitter if you’re soft because apparently I am mean what did you do that was mean uh I just exist I think which is fine did you make someone angry oh yeah every day on Twitter how people on Twitter don’t get angry no all right Kendra Middleton

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right ladies and gentlemen uh you know Matt Light oh I’m sorry we are uh toucher and Hardy we are brought to you by FanDuel sports but I do know Matt you know Matt Light yeah he lives in the woods of Ohio now he was on the Julian Edelman podcast and he had actually a funny story I like Matt Light because he called in one Super Bowl and we had Drew Brees on they both went to Purdue together and it was uh it made us look cool in front of JW Brees because Matt Light just happened to be listening and called in that’s when you know you’re in that’s when you know you’re part of the whole culture here and uh here is Matt Light talking to Julian edman about Bill bich what the email say all right so he got an email uh for Bill bich what the email say I get this and now I’m like this is legit so I take like four or five days I have to have some kind of a response so I send my response and immediately I get one back and the essence of what he sent back was we’re never going to do this again number one because in the in the subject heading it was concluding remarks right that yep is awesome that’s turning the faucet off you’re like that’s it no more I’m I’m going to use that that concluding remarks concluding remarks in the subject line fantastic that is how you break up with someone concluding remarks yep and that goes to that a lawyer gets that no well I said concluding remarks I mean I was I was telling them legally that this was the end of the conversation part of this do you not understand we’re we’re done here Saturday April 7th 2007 at 2:34 p.m. greetings from the NEP offseason program exclamation point in quotes this is how it starts not like hey Matt or it’s a chance for us all to bond to start putting the wheels in motion for The Following Season left tackle Matt Light said in the recent interview the foundation has put in place at this time of year what you do in March April May and June what you do in that mini camp and the passing Camp it has a direct effect on the beginning of your season and you have to come out of the gate swinging pretty hard that’s what we’ve been able to do around here end of quote I got asked by a reporter in Hawaii about whatever and I gave the typical you know do your job speech right hey Matt just read this quote from you dot dot dot what the question mark so you see like when I see this like that’s got to be coping they’re messing with me that’s not real and Bill doesn’t send emails all right so he thinks that the email is from Dan cop and uh fellow offensive lineman yes we have over 50 guys here working out today and the one who isn’t here does all the talking about how important the offseason is figures a lot of your teammates were concerned about you and asked why you weren’t here but don’t worry we let them all know that you’re in Hawaii for a week if you want to get something productive done out there why don’t you have them move this meeting to the week before all in caps teams start their offseason programs question mark very Respectfully yours Bill bellich head coach New England Patriots okay and and I did elicit a a little bit of help from a family member who’s far smarter than me I send him this Coach B first of all allow me to apologize for not responding earlier to your prior email it has been my experience limited as it may be that a reflexive response did not serve anyone well thus I felt it necessary to permit time to itate a more measured philosophic response as you are certainly better aware than anyone we as human beings are not automatons rather we stand as a compilation of free willed rational beings given this it becomes critical to impose a measure of collectivism for the benefit of the order I realize that the concept of collectivism strikes a measure of aberrance in our rugged individualistic Society but it is such a collective good that allows us all to benefit and it does not require a study the incon abum to realize that both coaches and players gain from a measured Collective relationship with a financial bully pulpit held by the owners given this and despite my commitment to the offseason programs I felt compelled to move forward the collective good of the players through attendance at the PA meetings my commitment to this end is in no way a negative reflection on my dedication and commitment to optimizing my personal performance to the greatest advantage of the team your humble free willed left tackle Matt L and and I got to tell you this is one of my favorite things in life concluding remarks Matt I need some time to let this one settle but I’ll start with this all right so Bill bellich he sends another email mhm had headed in response to Matt lights very verbose uh with grandos yeah a lot of like multi syllable words here we go this is uh Bill B’s response to that email because Mike cut out a lot of the yak act in between so we could get this uh get this going Matt I need some time to let this one settle but I’ll start with this why don’t you consider dedicating yourself to having fewer mistakes and not leading the team in once again being the most penalized player on offense your numerous false start penalties in evidence again at the Pro Bowl and other transgressions like taunting continue to make me think that your distractions off the field affect your concentration on the field my advice if you have an interest in improving your performance would be to minimize your distractions and focus on maximizing your physical development and technique in the offseason program I continue to feel that you were totally out of line commenting on the importance of the program when you were not in attendance with the rest of the team finally Matt there’s no need to use multi- syllable words in your email that neither you nor I know I am unimpressed this will this will conclude my email exchange and I will return to my efforts in trying to do a better job in coaching this football team as for the PA meetings don’t worry about helping me as I have said many times and I remind myself the best thing we can do for ourselves and our families is win all in caps try to keep that in your mind for in your quest for World Peace sincerely Respectfully yours Bill bellich head coach I wonder why people didn’t like him but he’s so fun behind the scenes you don’t know the real bill this is just him in front of the media Bill’s a great guy super fun see you’re being sarcastic but that does make me like him more that’s funny no I think it’s I think it’s funny being us I think that if you got that it’s funny for Matt Light now but I’m sure he when he got it he was pissed I mean cuz he doesn’t he he doesn’t go all right like if it if the email back to him was all right dumbass I know that you don’t know what these words mean get here get here now if that was the thing that would be funnier and try and limit the number of false starts you get this season that’d be great yeah but the but it’s a smug dickish response that’s the world it was so smug I thought hearing the first one that he was right it was copen pranking him but as it goes on I’m thinking well no it’s not buil yeah it the the precise reason Matt Light is reading it is that it doesn’t make Bill Bellic look better it makes him look like a dick and it shows you that behind the scenes he was a big a dick a big a dick to his players as he was the media that’s funny and the best thing that you can do for your families is Win is it is that really it bill that’s that’s the message that you’re putting out there the best thing you can do for your families is Win above all else cuz that’s just bad advice that’s just a a false you know the best thing you can do for your career is win you could say the best thing you can do for your family is win at all times to put the team above everything else in your life is the best thing you can do for your family I don’t think that’s good advice would you give that advice to your children no no no that in like do you think people on their deathbed did you ever read Tuesdays with myy myy did not say that in death no I didn’t grow up in Detroit so I I skipped the whole ma that was a national that was a national required reading where you were it was not required well let’s be honest John Tuesdays with Mory is probably sold 10 million copies so it was but I was there at Mel when he was actually playing on Tuesdays his conversations with Mory uh but you know like when people die I don’t think they go like ah winning you know like ah the secret to life is wi winning like people who de devote their lives to religion I don’t think that they’re the the the whole point of this limited time we have on this planet is to win football games uh that is good good for matl reading that too and do you think Bill bich likes that he Bill bich probably likes that that he read it I wonder if bill bich is at the point now where he just likes being mentioned because been a little quiet well he was out in Croatia did you see that he was out in Croatia with some soccer team like I guess his grandparents came over from Croatia so he’s he’s like super into Croatia so he went over there and they like honored him and they made him a citizen they did so the the citizenship process in Croatia seems like licky split cuz there’s not a lot of waiting around if you ever know if you know Jim Norton to get his wife into the country that was just from Canada took years so the idea you can just Bop over to Croatia and they’ll just make you citizen right off the bat is something else but yeah it was quite nice they had like a full football St soccer stadium for them and they did a big ceremony for him so good for Bill bchic I’m he received a Croatian certificate of nationality I don’t think he said in his speech that he’s a citizen he said that now I’m a citizen and he was and I believe it or not Hardy I don’t think he was being sarcastic well he said a lot of things over the years that weren’t exactly true okay I don’t think he was being sarcastic in front of the crowd at least Bill bich assumed he was a citizen if did you guys read the article Dan sent it like a couple days ago yes he said I’m a citizen he said I’m a citizen but a certificate what is it again or C I don’t know guys I really don’t want to analyze yesterday I became a Croatian brought now I’m one you all right cuz you had not read the article Dan read it to him now I’m bellich this is from Fox Sports he just said the quote he said yesterday I became a Croatian citizen now I’m one of you he used to wear the Croatian on the the heritage month when they could wear the flags on their uniforms or his hoodies he would wear the Croatian flag on his hoodies so I’m sure that was like a big honor for him so I mean good I mean if I had wasn’t able to get a job and I was like you know kind of not doing anything if some country wanted to make me a citizen that I was into and fly me over there and put me in front of a bunch of people and honor me that might wouldn’t be so bad Hardy I don’t know if he’s a citizen that was a speech that was a speech and and the actual story it said he got a certificate of Croatian nationality those are two different things we’re sure there’s a certain two different things yeah how that you don’t think that’s just a terminology certificate of nationality what’s your nationality Fred what is your nationality United States of America okay so are what tribe are you the tribe of the the Constitution yes the tribe of the red danan Dan O Bren what’s your nationality I’m Irish are you’re an oh you’re an Irish citizen that means the same thing it’s my nationality oh no it’s not oh it’s not the same thing all right what we do in these situations when someone’s being obsin is we take a vote how many of us uh in this room and that includes Mike and Nick believe that bill belich is now a citizen of Croatia raise your hand all right it is four against two Mike is the only other one with sides with Hardy is it is done belich is a citizen of Croatia we will be back let it be written let it be done absolutely that sucker in stone democracy in action all right here we go our intern he is Tyler Milan’s cousin he has a new song

were going to make an ignorant statement but I’ll let it fly go what are you looking at Hardy I’m looking at his balls wall like what do you think I’m looking I’m looking at his pants I’m looking at his shoes okay I’m not going to make any of I think you look nice what’s wrong thanks your your zipper about half Mass though Barn Door a little open Pal I just made water oh and I had to fish it out what did you think of uh but uh he got in a measuring contest in the bathroom you know what Freddy T did he took he took out just enough to win Milton Burl style oh boy Milton Burl James Woods John

in the stack today by the way go ahead and uh it was just these floral blouses and I said you know who’s going to no one under the age of 80 is wearing this this is specifically for some compound in Florida where you go for the summer or the winter that’s all the reason you’re wearing this stuff all right uh well the only reason that Tyler milikin cousin our own intern wears a crucifix around his neck is that he loves the Lord Jesus Christ he has a necklace on that uh rests a crucifix rests between uh his uh pectoral muscles it sits there he wears it outside of his shirt he’s very proud of it it’s of an unknown metal there seems to be no gems in it so it can’t be to look rich but he’s uh he’s stepped up on a couple of occasions already the first time he brought us something it was this song he was more like single zero for logo he doesn’t mind but what he why he come in here why does he come Tyler milin cousin could you be kind enough to come in right now let’s get him in here let’s get him some radio experience he wants to be in radio so let’s get him some radio experience let’s bring him in I love Tyler Milan’s cousin I allowed him in my home today he also gave us the Dan the wagon man commercial Dan the wagon man which uh had all the features of the wag 10inch wheels keep everything moving along nicely and uh that has actually helped increase I don’t want to say sales but rent of Dan the wagon man wagons up in York Beach Maine oh no oh yes it is true hi Tyler milin cousin hey how are you can you explain the chain you have a very long chain if you’re watching on YouTube uh if I could get Nicholas in there if he could focus heavily on the Chain he’s got to get to his chair which could take a while so don’t worry if you’re on YouTube that you’re not getting it right away because Nick had to walk the 10 feet all right Toler milkins cousin why by the chain so uh when I got confirmed I got the cross which came the different chain yes and then on my 18th birthday I got the you’re getting choked up yeah I know but pollen’s killing me I Oh I thought you were going to cry cuz it was such a good memory well could be both could be both okay um so I got the cross my 18th bir or the chain and 18th birthday from my dad from Italy so I just I we it’s Italian it’s Italian I love it I love it from your confirmation and from Italy what length is that the 10in wheel oh no that is that’s longer than that 16 does your dad does Tyler Milan’s cousin’s dad which would make him your Uncle T that would make to Milan’s Uncle would unless your second cousins or something I think third cousins oh so you’re barely related uh how would uh does he wear a lot of chains no not at all why did he buy you a chain from Italy he liked the look of it I agree I concur uh do you use a blow dryer no my hair is just naturally beautiful I heard you guys talk about this morning when I was driving back from your house and I was like I got to bring that up at that’s a tricky door huh you had some trouble with that door you know you didn’t tell me first of all that I had to turn the door more like Inward and then push it in yeah and then you also had a cat did not know that walked in the cat swiped at my leg as soon as I walked in the door attack cat yeah guard cat yeah yeah it doesn’t care for people and then it ran up the stairs and I was like what was that yeah the cat’s not treated well I was in that house for 30 minutes I never saw that cat yeah probably Fray it was adorable I enjoyed it very much yeah thank you you’re welcome yeah you see the place I liked it it’s a little Barren no it wasn’t too bad how I would design a house everything you’d ever need in there yeah there’s everything you’d ever need I tell you that seal of milk and’s cousin seal of approval was the temperature to your liking oh perfect a cool 65 perfect well I don’t know about that let’s not I’m not trying to kill the environment here all right but nonetheless what tower Milan’s cousin does which is why he’s on the air and I would suggest this to everyone trying to get into radio is he said I’m not only going to be I’m going to be an intern but I am going to pitch ideas to the guys which is in in all seriousness what you should do the wor the worst thing that’s going to happen if you pitch an idea is that we wouldn’t use it and it that has actually happened once and I have to say uh as important as getting something on the air and accepting the the platitudes and the compliments that go along with it when something doesn’t get on the air you have to accept that graciously because it happens a lot and he accepted it very graciously he understood why it didn’t make it on the air and he was fine with it you know what he did he turned around and the next day had something else and I saw him and it was like Hardy had described he was not lying it was on uh posted notes it was just for some reason on Blue posted why is it on posted notes and why did you not just write it down long hand that’s what I want to know put your phone there’s a lot option put in phone right why why Post-it notes so to be honest it’s because when I left to come here on my first day it was the only piece of paper I could find in my house that is threw in my bag and it was like something that was like I wasn’t going to find a notebook I well you shouldn’t keep all those in your pants all right here we go let’s uh let’s get to it uh Hardy what is this what am I playing the chat is complaining that they haven’t seen him yet by the way Tyler milins cousin just come here come to Hardy cuz he can be seen better no he’s got now Nick is saying he’s got you oh he’s got you you can sit back down sit right back down yeah all right does he indeed have Tyler Milan’s cousin now well we’re a few seconds behind on the chat I want to make sure we we got a shot of him before we start playing out you are going to be playing Fred just what Tyler Milan’s cousin sent me okay so this is this is the the rawest of raw um the start it starts as a Kel of an idea it makes its way on to the 30 or 40 Post-it notes then it gets recorded and sent to me and the first time I hear it is what you’re going to hear right now all right the here is Tyler Milan’s cousin I don’t even know what it’s about I’ve never heard it I have no idea we’re all hearing this for the first time what I would like you to do is try and determine what this is going to be stop it after the first three or 4 seconds see if you can figure out what this is going to be someone encouraging me to stop audio Yeah you this is obviously not a listener the listeners often get on me for stopping it too quick but I’m like how am I going to be how am I going to ruin it see if you can figure out what this is going to be go ahead see the

Milan’s cousin thank you so much well done yeah thank you guys excellent job I mean I hope the Celtics are listening because now there is less pressure on them yeah because it knows that everyone will just feel fine when that Banner 18 raises Jared Weiss is covering the Celtics he will talk to us uh as he has had 45 days to analyze this matchup and now he has it down to a science we will have him in just a moment you’re listening to toucher [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] a really nice looking trophy we about to get another one in town [Music] what we going put it together I that phone is ringing oh my God put it together represent so we can celebrate Cate so we can Cate CER you know I had 45 days to prepare for this call but I listen to isy Brothers parodies the entire time so I I don’t know if I’m ready for this yeah Tyler Milan’s cousin can put a whole new it can really let you know you’re under the right lights SE and C as you talked about in the in the in the in your article about Moz uh moua said you know unless the lights are brighter and I just wanted to grab him and say Joe they are Tyler Milan’s cousin we’ll let you know he’s in on it so here we go uh Jared uh how has has your mind what has your mind been going through over the last uh 10 days have you been breaking down film and overanalyzing everything has anything in your opinion changed as time has moved on as we’ve crawled to what eventually will happen this evening not much you could have been some uncertainty about pringa playing leading into it but they decided to make it pretty clear he’s officially playing and so that takes away I think what little bit of suspense there could have been about what the shape of the series is going to look like but this is a battle of a kind of a complete team versus a team that is really revolving around one and two guys and then is really perfectly orbiting around those two big as we like to say in basketball heliocentric stars and whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa big words big words I I like I I always wish that host would do this when something happens I don’t know what that means could you please tell me what heliocentric simpy it for us no no no John I can do this can you just Define it for me just tell me what you mean I’ll answer John so hel oh Helio Centric in that offenses can revolve around one big star so Luca donic has the ball in his hands the vast majority of the time so many of their actions are set up around him it really all revolves around him centrally so many like just pick and rolls just straight up through him and it all comes out of that while the Celtics change up who starting the play where they’re running the play from at a frequency that’s much greater than like what Dallas does and doesn’t make Dallas it doesn’t make Boston necessarily better because Dallas is doing it because they have the best player in the game right now okay uh what do you make a porzingis oh sorry what do you make a porzingis um I was listening to Joe Murray last night and I thought it was interesting because he listened to poring his comments and and from that and just the way his injury went down isn’t sure that he’d be able to play all the games of a six seven game series uh what do you think of that take not in the finals because the finals are so spread out that might have been a concern in the previous round where the games are being played every other day but we have several days between each of these games so I don’t see why pringus with unless Pingus like re aggravates an injury then he would have to sit but if it’s just a rest thing no he’s not going to have to rest yeah I thought it was a I thought it was an interesting take and an interesting you know another thing to be concerned about is we as we try and wrap ourselves and tie ourselves into knots thinking about things waiting for this series to start but I thought the same thing Jared the amount of rest I mean just Thursday Sunday Wednesday is it Thursday Sunday Wednesday Wednesday okay all right if he’s only going to play three and a half say that’s what you’re total at well hell you don’t even play the fourth game until more than a week after the first game so I think there’s a I think there’s a chance should It Go five six seven games he’d be available for all of them that’s what at least that’s what I’d be hoping for as a Celtics fan I I wouldn’t even say as there a chance like it would be it would be weird if he didn’t do it he it’s like it’s the NBA finals this is everything in his career has built up to this moment he’s healthy he’s gotten extra time off like the with the injury he had he could have plausibly returned in four weeks but he’s got an extra week and a half of rest on top of that as long as he doesn’t re-aggravate the injury like the dude’s G to be out there you’re going to be seeing chrisos porzingis playing and actually I think it might be Al Horford who benefits almost as much because Horford’s carried such a huge minutes without porzingis and he’s the one that’s 55 years old and so as amazing shape as Horford’s in like his body is going to need the extra days of rest probably even more than porzingis does Jord when you guys asked him whether or not he was 100% he hesitated that was pretty much obvious he’s not full speed yeah he’s clearly not full speed so how do you think specifically for tonight they’re going to use him is he on a minute’s restriction is he going to start where how much is he going to play I expect him to start and I don’t really think he’s going to be on much of a minutes restriction I expect that Missoula is probably going to keep his minutes down to the low 30s know in the finals you’re going to see some of these guys playing 38 to 42 minutes and I just don’t think porzingis is ever going to be in that range and they don’t have to have him in that range because of Horford so I I would expect him to be kind of towards his normal minutes you know just you know give or take a couple minutes here or there specifically though that’s not the big story of the series the big story of the series of of course is Kyrie Irving who met the media again yesterday are you buying this new self of his or is it another personality he’s trying on he’s keeping it going it’s been consistent for like more than a week now wo wow a week yeah well all right for Kyrie standers that’s pretty good yeah he he’s been this way all year you know I think the initial surprise happened back in March when he showed up and it was the first time that there wasn’t a ton of tension from him on his end with the relationship with the fans and he seemed to be really at peace with the way things were going and starting to kind of recognize what he didn’t do right when he was in Boston and even in Brooklyn and now he seems to be actually a lot more humble about it and he seems to have a lot more self-recognition about his fault and how things went and not holding anger towards the maltreatment that he’s still getting and so it seems like he’s ready to let that die down I don’t think the cel fans are ready based on how many F Kyrie chants I’ve heard just walking the streets of Boston over the last week okay so that is walking the streets of Boston it’s a good point Jared does a finals crowd help Kyrie in that regard these are not just hey it’s a regular season game c hedge funds guys you know it as well as I do that these are these are Finance Bros aren yeah you get real loud for the first 20 minutes and then after that the voice kind of uh closes in yeah but then you you then you Retreat back to the VIP section and lay some on the top of the toilet Jared does the finals crowd aspect of this play in at all to how uh kind or unkind they might end up being to Kyrie I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of guys in Vineyard Vines fleeced vest dress underneath chanting F Kyrie I I I think I I think that seems to be a universal kind of class unifying sentiment in Boston I will tell you this is that everything Kyrie says makes sense like all his growth makes sense and if you don’t John believe people can change then what is the purpose of life I’m being serious you anyone who’s done anything wrong ever like can never make up for there are a lot of people that can change I don’t believe I think this is an act I think he realizes he has to act that way first of all to get his salary from Dallas and B to keep his salary so Dallas doesn’t trade him to a te it doesn’t want okay but if he’s acting like this and he just continues to act like this then that is him talk to me in three or 4 years from now then I’ll believe it okay I but I don’t Jared don’t you think that’s just a bad way to judge humans in general I think I think Fred’s saying they were’re all living a lie which makes sense coming from a radio host but I certainly am I think I I think I’m trying I’m honestly Jared trying to figure out what my real personality is that’s actually an exercise I’m undertaking I do think the radio has if you want to get into it I really do think the radio has changed me and doing this 4 hours a day has made my life outside of this different but go ahead change it For The Better or For Worse that’s who knows Jared I’m trying to figure a lot of things out goe have you not been following along the last few years yeah listen I’m listen I’m growing I the thing is if I’m growing Kyrie can grow go ahead all right I that’s probably the best point I’ve heard anyone make about the Kyrie situation in years so I I I think that sounded out perfectly thank you Jared I’m I’m you know this show isn’t just like some hot take machine we dive deep you know what I’m saying it’s more Joe Rogan podcast we’re all evolving every day exactly we we take cold plunges don’t worry about it all right Jared uh finally they get this gets going you will be there tonight uh it should be fun and uh hopefully we can talk to you again during the series if that would be possible that’d be great yeah let’s do it all right Jared everyone read him in the atic he’s got a great article uh out now that I read uh that is up there you should follow the Celtics when you get your athletic uh subscription and it’s all right there for you they super super serve you there at the athletic Jared Weiss we appreciate you’re the best thank you all right play some more eisy Brothers all right that wasn’t the Isley Brothers but Seals and Croft oh so close okay I’ll give it to you Jared because you did the show all right thank you Jared appreciate it all right there you go the great Jared wise yeah don’t argue with him he not the great Jared wise I uh don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity to do this again so Dan I’m going to do this in the next two minutes what are you doing a listener sent me this article that I thought was very funny the finals between your Edmonton Oilers don’t get this lost because on off nights I think it’s every other night kind of it sort of lines up like that with the with the NHL finals I know there’s more than one night off for the NBA but you know what I’m saying yeah I I don’t know if they play on the same night do they they do not okay good so the Oilers are in it right so all of us are going to are going to watch it right it’s the same network you guys are going to check in on that correct occasionally yeah yeah I would have watched it even if it were Dallas you said you would tap out I would tap out if it was Dallas Florida okay I would have tapped out on it but Oilers Rangers would have been ideal but just the Oilers being in it makes me want to watch it yep and this is a strategic Advantage a listener sent this to me oil this is an article from thebeaverton.com Oilers plan to damage Florida Panthers morale by forcing them to visit Edmonton with the 2024 Stanley Cup finals fast approaching sources close to the Edington Oilers have confirmed that the team has a new strategy for victory namely hoping the Florida Panthers are too demoralized by the sight of Edmonton Alberta to play an effective game of hockey good coaches for the oils have outlined the ways at Edmonton a city that required very little modification to serve as the post-apocalyptic waste land and HBO’s The Last of Us May gave the team a strategic Advantage quote we realized going to the playoffs that our best weapon wasn’t our offense our defense or even Conor McDavid said head coach Chris noblock yes it’s the fact that our city has such a bleak featureless expans of tundra that the Florida players will no longer be able to summon the physical or mental strength necessary to pick up a hockey stick after just two hours of wandering around the Bonnie Dune Mall Bon dun Mall really yeah I suppose that’s something in Edington but you know who loves Edington our own Jake de brasque mhm going to call from sagus Mass there’s no way it’s Tyler Faith do you think oh sure of course it is why wouldn’t it be I heard she’s engaged that’s too bad you know all right uh there’s great news coming out of the

985 The Sports [Music] Hub there’s a good chance you won’t be [Music] JJ if they as I’m sure you know there’s been like a pass fail sort of All or Nothing approach or perspective on this season they either win it or they don’t uh it’s been you know pass fail for lack of a better term if they were to not win the championship why do you think it’ll be um if they don’t win the championship it’ll be because the better team won yeah that’s JJ R from last week on fer mes who by the way didn’t like go chase him down they were off for JJ reic they took JJ reic they put him on the show and I know felger and MZ are negative and contrarians but JJ reic came on and said that which makes him a a dick well and and just to be fair Fred he said a lot more than that you know we’ve played that clip a couple of times but when asked to kind of like expand on that and and what he means J J reck said something the effect of I already told you why I already did that he would I mean he was like borderline evasive and obtuse no he wasn’t borderline evasive he was evasive obtuse he was borderline uh uh he wasn’t Cooperative like attack like attacking like weird like he was almost like angry and and the thing is this is that you thought oh great well he’s obviously getting the Lakers job it’s being reported he’s getting the Lakers job in fact John he was on some podcast yesterday a gox’s kid oh yeah so everyone you’ve already heard this obviously though yes because Bob gock Jr is a tremendous broadcaster and here is what JJ reck had to say is there any truth to the reports out is there any truth to the reports out just talk like a human you prick is there any truth to the reports out there and just in general your interest in coaching in the future that’s been brought up relative to Los Angeles Lakers I would say this uh my focus right now is on uh calling the NBA Finals I am so fortunate that I’m in this position and I get to call these finals with uh Doris and Mike oh and uh I mentioned the State Farm thing that I just did on YouTube uh my dayto day right now is consumed with uh calling games uh the 19 different podcasts I feel like I have uh my obligations to all of our partners uh so uh my focus is on the NBA Finals I will I will say that in terms of Shams that will be addressed uh once the season is over so I’ll just say that stay tuned all right will you just say that you prick because guess what front page of ESPN Lakers preparing massive offer to Hurley the Los Angeles lak ERS are targeting yukon’s Dan Hurley as the franchise’s next coach and are preparing a massive long-term contract offer to bring the back-to-back NCAA Champion to the NBA Hurley will take it in 10 seconds the Lakers is a absolute gold standard job you cannot turn that down it’s coaching the best of the best it is uh indoctrinating yourself into the world of basketball you are now at the mountain yes the Lakers digging a little deeper on W’s story have already had preliminary contact with Hurley and the sides are planning to escalate discussions in the coming days so if you’re JJ reck as I told and got picked up by some industry people he should have bowed out of the NBA Finals because Johnny’s in a position now that he can’t win because now if he goes on and does his job normally as an analyst and says bad things about the players it will will hurt him as a coaching candidate and if he goes on there and doesn’t say anything and sucks at his job it will make him a crappy broadcaster ah JJ your poetry let’s hear it here’s JJ reck at Duke no there’s a good chance you won’t be able to tell if this email is from a bank or if it’s a scam the best way to know if it’s real oh that’s not it that well that they think that is probably the uh the pre-roll to the video Yeah Mikey lockart are you guys listening in there Mike lockart the thing that you sent me is not the JJ reic poetry I think it’s maybe got pre it’s got the it’s the pre-roll of the JJ reic thing all right but we have but I want to hear more about that email is it a scam 2005 oh okay here we go start 2005 I can’t see what my future has in store but I move forth with the strength of a condor the courage of a warrior reic has been writing poetry since junior high school he says it’s his Escape a sharp Thorn once cut my soul the blood flowed but no bandage would cover the wound I asked the Lord what am I to do he said son I made the sky blue the rain falls because of me leaves change colors on a fall tree I was the inspiration to Martin Luther King I’m the reason Ray Charles could sing I’ve given strength to others through and through and my son I’ll do the same to you oh I take it all back he used the tree leaves changing metaphor he rhymed me with tree and then compared himself to Ray Charles and Martin Luther King listen if you want to write poetry God bless you Mary Carr I love Mary Carr she’s a big poet living poet that sucked that sucked he said the Lord makes rain in the leaves on trees change that is uh Elementary School poetry JJ reck is a uh a prick he was a prick at Duke he was a prick when he played he’s a terrible broadcaster and he acted like an ass and continues to act like an ass because he thought he was the cat who ate the canary with the Lakers job all tied up and now it gives me great pleasure to know that he is reading these reports and going oh oh now I’m just going to be some guy on ABC again and now I’m going to have to go around in all these people that I acted so much better than I’m going to have to go back and guess what they’re my peers now they’re my peers again whoopsy daisies stupid podcast and by the way good for you JJ if your futures in podcasting to go on shows and suck Royal and that’s really going to encourage people to tune in to the old JJ reic of prick podcast I’m not going to say anything interesting if if I listen to the interview we did with Michael go Jr if I listen to the interview he did with fer and mads why would any of that make me want to ever hear one word he has to say about anything good job dick you just lost it all I’m glad fogger M didn’t hang up on him oh please Danny Hurley and then the next the other best thing about it is now all the Yukon fans have to go back to KN no he’s the way that W worded that thing that I read he’s taking that they’re escalating discussions the Lakers are going to put on the court press offer him seen amount of money John you know as well as I do if you’re a basketball coach you cannot turn down the Laker job if it’s a big offer you cannot turn it down if you’re ISO you can turn down the Cavaliers job that one I I and ISO ISO was a little bit older too and that was just because the quick and Loans guy is a Michigan State Alumni look if you’re Mike sheski by the way it’s 20 years 30 years ago that the Lakers offered chesy this this same job and he turned it down but ultimately I mean he turned down the Celtics he turned down the Lakers you know there there are certain guys that understand what their place is and where they need to go Danny Hurley is a college coach but he wants to be in the NBA if you a college coach and you are Danny Hurley and you’re coaching at Yukon the way that nil money is now the way that the transfer portal is now he’s not you can’t set up a program like you used to it’s a pain in the ass you recruit have to take year year by year and there’s no such thing is building a program at the college level you are recruiting while the season is going on cuz you’re recruiting the transfer portal you’re doing everything else one year the next year you’re recruiting your own players John you have to keep your own players around I thought about this in college coaches before when you had to deal with just stuff with with college kids whether it was compliance and I argue with zo about this it’s like oh they got you know staff’s compliance officers they don’t care that I said it just seems like there’s there’s a lot of pain in the ass stuff that comes with being a college coach for football basketball whatever but now you can multiply that with the nil with the transfer portal all this other stuff it’s a totally different job now talking to coaches I can tell you this is that the for before nil and all this in the transfer portal College coaching was way easier it just was like you you easier than college or easier than Pros I mean way easier than Pro because Chuck dily used to even say it Chuck Dy used to say I’ve never had a fun day like coaching Pros the hours were way longer there’s way more maintenance the players were harder to deal with but now all the advantages of being a college coach have gone away because now you’re dealing with young men who are entitled and can just leave whenever they want and also there’s things that are out of your control like the amount of money you can give them so now it’s just a mess so Danny Hurley is taking that Laker job there’s no way he’s not if he loves basketball there’s no way he’s not taking that job now does it sadden you Fred that JJ reck gets winded this early enough to where he turns it around he starts really putting all his efforts in and being critical during his broadcast and he can put together some good broadcast that’ll be actually that’s something to listen for tonight that is something to listen for how he broadcasts this game yeah if he thinks he’s out of the running for that Lakers job it’ll very obvious very quickly yes you start saying some stuff might be good I just got a text from a friend he says I’m sure Hurley loves the 1 hour bus ride to Hartford for home games it’s a yeah it’s real glamorous yeah all right very good we’ll be back in just a moment stay tuned [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hey we are toucher and Hardy we’re brought to you by FanDuel sports book make every moment more with FanDuel or you can watch us on YouTube Every Morning search five sports up on YouTube uh Nick leaves the camera on during break so you can see that uh Lebron James uh said Joe moua was a genius and then he was talking about uh our own Kyrie Irving who John believes has not changed he believes that humans are incapable of growth that means that once you’ve made a mistake you were forever that person yeah I was really surprised to hear Wall’s take on that yeah he’s very close-minded about that I think he’s probably really unforgiving in his personal and professional life uh he just feels that people are incapable of growth and evolution May and if we’re not constantly evolving what’s the point of are you are you an evolution denier where’ you go fall on the Scopes Monkey Trial what do you think of Inherit the Wind that is you don’t know Inherit the Wind no sc’s Monkey Trial STL William Jennings Bryant this is this is a landmark case okay what is it the Scopes Monkey Tri this this was a school teacher in the South who wanted to teach Evolution he wanted to teach Darwin and he was taken to court for it okay yeah they they like Florida now the criminal charges brought against him I see and they brought in none other than Clarence Darrow to defend him and uh I believe William Jennings Bryant was the prosecutor wow and it was all about Evolution John which you I’m not a denier of evolution feels like you are okay that’s John turn his back if you’re just listening John turn his back at on religion at a very young age if you just joined us you’re just popping in there are a lot of people in town that aren’t usually here I’m sure they’re here give give me that 30 second background on wck John grew up young Jewish boy went to Camp Young Judea where there was uh Friday night saders there was summer camp the whole mm yeah I mean the whole shmear the whole well put as your people would say the whole kiding Kaboodle your former people your former people would say and then uh I of course married a Jewish woman and had kids that by the rules of God would be Jewish because they came from a Jewish woman regardless of my uh religion and uh as the show was evolving I we I realized wait a second I know way more about Judaism than John wallik and then I said John wallik has kids and I said when was the bris John and he said there was no bris I went oh and he goes yeah oh no he goes I turned my back on my religion and that maybe is informing your take on Kyrie Irving and that you have no really no purpose in your life you don’t believe that there’s kind of an evolution to I wondered how you’re going to connect that I was really wondering how that was going to happen was your first wife Jewish no he has a it’s he you know what he loves goam oh big butts and goam that’s what he likes shickel yep that’s one side of the T-shirt that’s the other side okay uh I was it was funny my daughter had a friend in the car and she’s like had a boyfriend and I’m like oh are you going to marry him I was getting around she’s like no no he’s not Jewish I said oh very good she’s like my parents would kill me you’re in seventh grade wow all right it was like the opposite of John was someone that had taken faith and really held on to it well no understand what that means I mean joh I got news for you we’re here entirely to evolve as humans MH okay here’s LeBron James talking about Kyrie Irving listen I will call Kyrie the wizard all the time who what an original nickname will you call him the wizard just like whom John the wizard of West with John Wooden fair enough the wizard Azie Smith oh yes of course listen I will call Kyrie the wizard all the time like all the time like there was nothing on the basketball floor that Kyrie couldn’t do and sitting here watching it you know I’m like I’m playing like so happy and so proud and to watch him and continue his growth and whatever the case may be and at the same time I’m so mad at the same time that I am not his running mate anymore yeah you are mad because you can’t take it that you that basketball is going on without you he needs to insert himself into every story and by the way the way things ended in Cleveland was that Kai that LeBron James ran that Tee and he wanted Paul George and he wanted Cleveland to trade Kyrie for Paul George Kyrie found out about it and then Kyrie said well I want to get traded I don’t want to be I don’t want my and I’ll give Kyrie this I don’t know if he was a problem there or not but if I found out that the guy there was a player running the team and that player wanted me out I go all right I want out of here I don’t want LeBron James dictating my career yeah not just any player but a player who does have that kind of oh sure yeah like like the guy if there is a player running this team and he doesn’t want me around I want out of here right if Kevin Love wanted around goes screw I’m not leaving yeah exactly like you I’m like it would have to be Kyrie Irving you saying he’s saying the wizard chose to disappear Fred all right kids here it is this potato’s going to run a clock how I don’t know just put the wires in the potato Jesus Christ always why why why kid rub this balloon on your head why Mr Wizard cuz I said so stick it on your epid shirt Mr Wizard why why why why is it sticking to me God God the same God that made my friend blow up in Nom created static electricity that’s angry Mr Wizard a character from bcn thank you for playing the Mr Wizard theme I didn’t know that would happen Mr Wizard I have a potato and a clock yeah how do I make it run you know what that clock says another second before with 6 feet under you know where there were no clocks in the jungle Mr Wizard opium Mr Wizard why is why is it so hot in the jungle Mr Wizard because they’re everywhere hunting you like pre the enemy all right here we go so I’m like I just remember those times and to back to what you were saying JJ like he to have JJ reik who is not going to be the coach of the Lakers despite him acting insufferable about it which has great made me very happy this morning as that news broke that it will be indeed Danny Hurley the new coach of your Los Angeles Lakers and JJ reck now will have after he’s driven everyone away from his dumb podcast we’ll have to sit there and eat it he to have a guy like Kyrie Irving as the ultimate wild card that’s like having a that would be Charlie day it’s like having a draw four in your hand every time someone deals you cars in Uno [Laughter] I didn’t know that was in there freaking he’s so dumb he’s so uneducated it’s really something else tell me again how you play barely had to go to high school FR tell me again how you be a great chess player best metaphor the best analogy you could draw is uno a a game that my 13-year-old hasn’t been interested in playing in five years yeah my kids B bagged out a Uno once they hit Middle School there was no more Uno playing oh God he is priceless that’s why that fir that’s why he’s always on that first page of that book it’s like it shoots in ladders you know like when you and losing Kyrie was like hitting the ladder and sliding down like five boxes oh my God I will call Kyrie the wizard oh would you yeah no one’s ever done that before it’s originally original uh I’m going to call him the goat it’s like having a draw four in your hand every time someone deals you cars in Uno I had no idea what he meant when he said draw four I thought he was going to say like Jin or like Bridge or something and then he went Uno yep you’re right JN it’s not his fault he uh he he really didn’t have to go to school seriously barely went to high school and you could be like the smartest guy in the world but when you’re talking all the time still come off ignorant because you just don’t have any that experience just no experience yeah you you were a professional basketball player when a lot of kids have serious growth between 18 and 21 going to college but you can self-educate play a lot of Chess sure you do not in real life that’s great too I forgot about that mik if you can make one out of Uno or Hardy if you can make one in the future out of Uno it’s like having a draw for in your hand every time someone deals you cars in Uno actually know a lot of people told me you should look you should play chess because you’ll be great I’ve never played chess but in my you know what I don’t think he’d be good at chess you don’t think so no play a lot of Chess I’ve never played chess not in real life you know me and a were playing Candyland and everyone came around and they’re like you’re the best and I was like yeah I know and they’re like you’d be good at uh Nuclear Physics can you imagine the gambling on that plane like you could trick him at War are you sure four is bigger than three all right you want to you want to bet all right I’m thinking of a number guess yeah exactly four no it was five you owe me a, oh man you always win you always win draw for I bet you LeBron has a favorite [Laughter] color like at your first day he’s like what’s your favorite color mine is blue God bless him man oh man uh do you want to hear what Kyrie had to say about LeBron’s comments no okay Kyrie comes off like well I Kyrie’s smart I mean Kyrie comes off well I I think that he did you see what LeBron said yesterday yeah I did is that the first question yes it is oh God love this I mean we we know gotta love this man that obviously how do you react to that uh I mean it’s I have a a great reaction you know it’s appreciate it um there’s a lot of gratitude there as well um you know obviously uh I’m in a different age different place in my life uh you know so was he and I think we’ve both been able to mature uh and really appreciate what we got a chance to accomplish um I think there were some things that got in the way of our relationship when I was a little bit younger and now that I’m able to vocalize how I feel as as a man and and be comfortable in IT stand on my square and my beliefs and where I’m coming from um you know I feel like our relationship is different because that now did he it’s like having a draw for in your hand every time someone deals you cars in Uno did you hear me he said stand on my Square I actually you know a lot of people told me you should look you should play chess okay John I will ask you this if you if you don’t think Kyrie Irving is do you think he’s smarter than LeBron probably okay cuz I was going to say if you have a gun to your head probably there was one problem Kyrie will take you about eight different directions before getting there but he will get there LeBron won’t see I Kyrie has done misguided and dumb things but I at least think he’s a seeker of some kind like I will say that he’s been a rebel without a clue for a long time fair enough but at least he’s consuming something yeah okay fair all right you that that part of the argument you’re right about I like he’s not I don’t think he’s sitting there fiddling around with Candyland no no and reading the first page every time after the game they’re like dang got another draw four in your hand Uno Alex wants to talk about congestion pricing in New York City oh really oh I can’t turn that down perhaps that is for the Glenn Beck show Glenn Beck will be meeting tomorrow heyy that’s why you go to H broadcasting from Hofer University ladies and gentlemen you tell me the campus is locked up locked up tight in the morning right ah I have a m that I can hand a Uber driver and say Here’s a map and they’ll go get out so if I’m not here at 6 it’s not cuz I got drunk or something we don’t do maps you have to put in an address exactly that’s how it works sir and I will say I don’t know what to tell you the engineer gave me a map enjoy Hamstead Fred it’s beautiful at that time of day and the best news is I’ll be by myself and then tonight having dinner with strangers which is fun but you’re dressed well so at least you got that going for you yeah and the fact that I don’t drink will make things a lot easier too those three-hour dinners are fun when you’re not drinking exactly and everyone else is it’s going to be a lot of fun not that it will be a Temptation cuz that’s over but

Milan’s cousin MH the school spends a lot of money on beautifying the campus with flowers please do not kick any flowers or you will get heavily find if you need to do something you don’t want to be

Amorous activities such as cus or fio and then he goes uh if you need to use the bathroom for number two I highly recommend the bathrooms beneath the Student Center they’re typically never used quite Queen in private oh I know every spot on that campus where you can find a good Queen toilet they saved me many times so there you go I have a place to make uh Duty and speaking of which you know we’ve

We there was there was something we played yesterday Fred when we were going down the AL Cole rabbit hole and uh to that end uh RC emailed me he said when I came home today I told my wife I’m blessed by your hunger her response was for me to go f myself my heaven my angel I’m blessed by your hunger okay I will when I do I’ll be thinking of you this email got sent to John first you’re my breath but then God sent to all of us it’s a question for John this person is thinking about Brazilians and what they’re known for he said are Wall’s dreams of one day being smothered by a certain type of Brazilian woman and her attributes did you choose to live in the city you live in in preparation for another marriage falling apart what oh because there’s a lot of Brazilians in your town is that right no no he was under next town next town over he sent another email following that oh that was the one that’s right it was Framingham as next however he was sitting in Jack’s ABY which is a great place to go in Framingham yeah I got an email about where I was yesterday uh it is uh from uh I got rid of it but it said where you at Buffs yesterday and I was I was at Buffs with my daughter this is from Kevin I I have the email here go ahead uh three questions I well first he said I hear Fred was at Buffs Pub last night one are those the best wings in Boston correct yes two what’s the go-to order there I just get Buffalo Wings and onion rings and then I like their honey mustard dressing so I’ll get the garden salad but it’s not much of a salad honey hot tenders with fries that’s to go to that’s because you’re four God the bones are too much for you three how’s the service tenders the service was very good honey henders they’re excellent and if you want to see taras look no further than BFFs tarasque is almost there every single night if you want to see taras if you’re a huge tarasque fan look no further than Buffs Pub loc located in The Circle of Death uh as you get off I90 or the Pike in uh the Newton exit Newton Brighton exit and right there it is across the street from the hotel where I uh heard used to be a place where ladies of the night would be because you didn’t need a key to ride up on the elevator that was information I got this week interesting okay that uh when you prostitutes like hotels obviously that you cannot that do not require a key to get up to the floor that you’re on yes we used to have an account there for snowstorms ah many many a night in in the bar there yeah but I think now they might require keys different name different ownership yeah it’s about two ownership that place has flipped a lot there was Hotel new we might have discussed this on the air there was a hotel in Newton that I used to take my kids to the pool at I like the hotel and they had like a nice restaurant in there but they had a what they call the prostitute problem what I would call is a prostitute gift but and then once that opened my eyes I looked around and I went oh yeah that one was close to the highway too that was close to the highway and there was a lot of a lot of pretty younger women with a lot of old men and I went okay this makes sense and good for those guys to just go to a hotel probably right around where they lived and just be openly with a prostitute there was no just because you want to have drinks before that’s good for them yeah why not Hardy cubba Duba do in Vegas this week need your expertise uh oh this is something I get asked a lot so I’m just going to throw it out there in 10 seconds Friday you put 20 between your license and the credit card and you get a big sweet no it doesn’t work Friday has opened up for golf what would your recommendations be for a public course if you’re on the Strip Bley high it’s close it’s a convenient it’s a high school no yes b b High h g h no as in b high will find you yes uh Las Vegas national about 5 minutes off the strip or take uh Drive 30 minutes up north go to pyute 54 holes they’re great there you go those are your three uh this from Matt good morning thought you’d like to know that Milan’s cousin has a hit with this follow-up Celtics tune to quote six-year-old this morning I like this one because it kind of Rhymes Banner 18 makes me feel fine blowing through the rafters in my mind and if you didn’t hear it Ty melin’s cousin was in here and he was wearing a crucifix he got at his communion along with an Italian chain that his father gave him and he wears that outside of his shirt yeah that’s fine I I mean I’m not a jewelry person I kind of follow the advice I got from Esquire magazine many years ago when it comes to men’s jewelry and their advice was one ring one watch you’re done that’s it that’s what you get to wear Jewelry Wise if you’re a man and here comes Toler milikin are you going to say hello to your cousin walk right by the door at the same time I mean I don’t think they’re close no they’re not close at all they’re about as close as the Red Soxs are to win in the [Music] world feeline I don’t talk to my cousin even though we’re in the same building it’s kind of sad Tyler milin cousin why don’t you like Tyler I don’t know and why is Tyler milikin not wearing a chain has he not received one from Italy thought they were Greek the milans I don’t think it matters where they’re from I just think that when one is in Italy you buy the biggest chain you can find and just wrap it around your neck for all the cousins no it was his dad that bought it so it would be Tyler Milan’s uncle or like second Uncle I don’t know how this whole thing works once you get past first cousin I’m kind of lost on how that all works yeah and D Milan’s cousin thought they might be third cousins which I’m not positive is related third cousin seems like that’s everyone right especially since we all came from Adam and Eve hey we’re all related Fred in some way I’m see the people hanging in the bar in the evening on a Thursday night woo a little light are shining off the park lets me know everything’s all right bner 18 makes me feel fine blowing through the rafters in ah I can’t believe this series is starting tonight already see the Celtics driving to the Baseline F chanting we want one more the Lanner 18 makes me feel fine blowing through the rafters in my mind I think we might have [Music] justop my blowing through the rafters in my mind okay I think that song might have served as an olive branch between Tyler milikin and his cousin because Tyler milin was just smiling and nodding his head as if yeah and I’m not making that up he was just popping along with it but then he’s going to ruin it he’s going to say something like yeah my my cousin’s got bars he’s going to drop some yeah the Hipster kid lingo on me yeah ruin it the worst is when comedians now are saying it oh it’s like during the Tom Brady roast and then we’re talking about each other afterward and bending over backwards to service each other about their bars stop it uh Matt quickly Matt go ahead uh that uh that Tyler Milan’s cousin who who shares my name what a lovely young man I’ve been speaking to him this morning and I need to give our favorite Celtics reporter a pass that was covered two years later by the isy brothers so seals and okay Matt yeah he and Croft did it in 72 e did it in 74 so that’s why he said that interesting uh Dan please

doesn’t like it okay the egg will be on my face then um let’s uh let’s start with uh some trouble for Dan O’Brien who normally is keeping it awesome what with Dan the wagon man and all but this the other Dan O’Brien kids if you want to get into radio look no further than Dan O’Brien who spent his career in radio he has two Sid businesses one is a DJ business and the other one is renting Wagons at his home in Maine why is that thing not on Dan oh here oh he just gave us business cards D in The Wagon man okay well this is more important you oh look at that color and everything check you out nice York Beach main Dan the wagon man.com I I like it I question the expense of making these cards I well I qu I question exactly raise lettering the quality the card stock not you make these yourself you nice you know you made them himself wow what do you mean the quality of the card stock what talk to my CFO we we don’t have you never saw American Psycho won’t fly money going out there’s no money coming in of the great scenes yeah it really is the wagon Man daily weekly monthly York Beach Maine all right so there you go but what’s going on the other Dan O’Brien uh from the Dan O’Brien Auto Group apparently uh is being accused of submitting hundreds of fraudulent retail delivery reports for vehicles that hadn’t actually been sold to customers now why would they do that ah to get sales incentives what type of lawsuit is it it’s a federal lawsuit filed in New Hampshire Danel Brien autog group and its top management submitted hundreds of fraudulent retail delivery reports that cars that hadn’t actually been sold uh they are accusing the dealerships of shuffling inventory around to mask the purported deception yeah but I’m saying that true code you don’t get it you get oxidation problems yeah that’s right and with the with the with the lot counts and everything else he says I can knock $100 off that true code yeah thank you very much Federal Federal not good was that the backdrop of Fargo is that why you murdered the guy because he was screwing around his dealership I’ll talk to my boss yeah um I believe he wanted his his wife de he needed money he just needed money and in order to get some money he submitted uh I I think claims on cars that hadn’t actually been sold something or other but they never really explored why he needed the money in the first place he was already in big money trouble before he tried to have his wife bumped I know you’re going to find this hard to believe but I only saw Fargo once no don’t kill me I apologize that’s okay thank you I mean I was always kind of bothered by the fact that if you want to if you want to play games here I’m working with you on this thing here but okay I’ll do a damn luck count sir right now yeah right now your darn toting so damn important to you I’m sorry sir what the oh you can’t is that where he goes outside and starts whacking the car over the top with the no no no no that’s when that’s when the father-in-law turns him down on his parking lot de by the way defense attorney who representing Dan O Brien Auto Group said the accusations are false and what the dealership did is perfectly legitimate so ha I believe MC Hammer once wrote a song about it he said I’m too legitimate too legitimate to stop rapping too legit and he got the whole Atlanta Falcons team to do it with him um Andre ryen and Deion Sanders did you mentioned TJ Maxx earlier on the show today I did uh my daughter and I I’d never been in TJ Maxx my daughter and I were on Needum Street in Newton and we had time to kill so we walked into a TJ Maxx and I was blown away by the amount of floral blouses yes uh lots of blouses lots of um point of purchase items at TJ Max oh I bought a candle a lavender cand candle don’t think I didn’t did you buy a travel uh manicure set complete with nail clippers toe Clippers little scissors that I’m not sure what those are for tweezers no no I’m KNE deep in Clippers I got them all over the house don’t worry uh apparently hourly retail security workers are now wearing police-like body cameras at TJ Maxx stores TJ Maxx Marshals HomeGoods oh I go to HomeGoods like they’re all owned by the same umbrella uh home sense and HomeGoods are the same company too aren’t they which seems weird I go to HomeGoods cuz when when one is in a divorce condo one goes to HomeGoods and has to purchase everything that you once had it’s very sad I got everything on the menu but it was kind of it was like leaving Las Vegas when he goes in the liquor store I was like bopping around I was with my daughter and I’m like all right we need two pans we need silverware we need a brush for the sink like hey we need a toilet brush never had to buy I haven’t had to buy one of these in 20 years you need a toilet brush but why not get the toilet brush plung a combo but we’ll need two one for the basement cuz my dad and then one for uh my the upstairs Here We Go ZO it was pretty cool I had like two cards full of stuff and it’s not that like overly expensive so you get you get the HomeGoods well they’re not uh they’re not worried about their employees they’re they’re using this for the uh apparently insane number of shoplifters that they have to deal with in these stores so uh body cameras for their employees and yes the hourly security workers if I work at DJ Maxx and I see someone shoplifting my incentive to stop them is based solely on if they were addict to me or not like if they just had left me alone and I see them shoplifting I don’t have no incentive to St oh if you’re just like a clerk of some kind yeah you’re not security sure yeah like uh even if I was security I don’t yeah maybe i’ you’d be a terrible security guard Fred you’d just be the worst yeah I guess I mean it it’s shown up by all the times I’ve not gotten the gig I’ve tried to be overnight security a lot by the way beas and Butthead uh the the return of beas and Butthead is now returning again for season 3 have you watched any of the new beas and Butthead yeah it’s pretty good D but what I’m more fascinated by is the SNL sketch of beas and Butthead that has gone like insane like there’s oral histories of it that they wanted to do it like five years ago there it’s it’s not like in itself like a bad sketch if you don’t know it’s Keenan Thompson and I forget the woman’s name and they’re talking about Ai and it’s supposed to be like a a serious talk show and uh Ryan Gosling is looks like beas he has Prosthetics on in a and he looks like beas and then Keenan times goes oh that looks like beas can you move him and they move him and he goes next to a guy that looks like Butthead like so there you go that’s the skid it’s not bad and they break like everyone breaks in it which everyone loves oh yeah and uh but as s l gives go and I like SAR Liv as s l gets go that is like a a five like on a scale of one to 10 like it’s nothing overly special and there’s some that don’t but it’s Ryan Goslin I saw the fog guy he’s a oh someone recommended that to me last night should I go see it in the theater okay here’s the deal I took my 13-year-old daughter to the Fall Guy we went to the Fall Guy she goes like Oh I wanted to see something else I go just let’s see left it both of us said ah that was not a bad way okay to spend a uh an early evening appropriate for a 13-year-old yeah even like if you’re not me yes it’s appropriate for that thank you thank you for the qualifier not making me ask safe TR Fred where you there’s no nudity in in not a preponderance of swearing he hates that I’ve talked about it but I’m dreading it I thought you would like I don’t people like when someone doesn’t want to do something and have to do it anyway yes as long as you don’t have to hear about it anyway I wish you safe travels Fred enjoy your trip Hardy you can’t say Hardy doesn’t make fun of me he makes no no you cannot say that all right uh we talk to you tomorrow hopefully mhm unless the plane goes down or one of these hippies goes and kills me that’ll do it for us every it’s awful announcing fa if that happens all right everyone have a great day
