worth doing um I was at uh a boogie with the hoodie uh did not did not get into bed past until past one so I’m not in a bad mood at all I am just uh when something that is uh has been bothering me like not it’s nothing about the show or anything about you guys or anything about radio or Boston really but when something is brought up that annoys me I’m going to have a lot to say about it it’s just one of those tirs like it’s Friday so I don’t really care so it’s all right but uh if you’re wondering why uh Hardy sounds like he’s next to a huge generator yeah well I I’ll tell you why right now there’s a man blowing water off of the sidewalk there he’s got got the steel I think that’s a 600 gas powered Backpack Blower and uh it’s a nice unit you know I’ll give him credit for having a nice piece of equipment there but little loud little loud sir yeah can’t can’t have standing water on his sidewalk because that’ll evaporate in 40 minutes sir it’ll be gone thank you I like are you in a tent yeah and and it’s obvious you’re broadcasting yeah yeah dou could not care less that gentleman well I mean when you’re getting that kind of paycheck you got to assume that you I would be with him too I wouldn’t care what was going on there I just be like the faster I can get this done and everyone gets off my back I guess the better all right so uh to be fair like not I mean it’s just workers here right now they’re not you know no no I’m saying if I was him I wouldn’t care either I would be like I don’t care what you’re doing all right so uh I mean I I for us it would be nice if he wouldn’t do it but if I was him i’ would be doing the exact same thing so who am I to say all right uh let’s get this out of the way now where are you Hardy Travelers Championship Fred Cromwell Connecticut right next door TPC River Highlands got in yesterday afternoon and I just started walking the course you know some people like to sit and squat and just let the The Game come to them I like to kind of walk the course myself feel like I’m a part of the game feel the turf feel the conditions feel what the players are feeling and I never I’ve never shut up paing I never been to this uh tournament before uh it’s beautiful golf course and everything that uh they had told us like leading up to it and when I say us I mean me and everyone who listens to The Sports Hub golf club and we are legion um they said you know this tournament’s really easy to get in and out of there are no shuttle buses there’s no you know taking you from offsite somewhere to get you here it’s true you drive up to the course there are big parking lots surrounding the course so anyone who comes here you just drive up you park you walk onto the course and then you enjoy the day and that part of it I get shouldn’t be uh understated CU isn’t that isn’t that part of like going to any event like how big of a pain in the ass is is it going to be it’s not not a pain in the ass so how are your accommodations last night nice nice uh Downtown Hartford uh Marriott oo hey now well now upon checkin uh they gave us cookies uh like golf themed cookies now I’m a cookie guy they all white no only because they were made to look like golf balls Fred that’s why wait a second they did have white chocolate chips and those are for the dimples yeah because people like chocolate but we don’t want to offend The Crowd by putting anything that color on anything let me tell you the the lobby in the bar area that hotel last night oh boy I I was there in Hilton Head yeah I saw yeah I I I left I I I found myself a uh uh nice uh Taco Place El poo something not El poo loo uh I don’t know doesn’t matter but let me tell you this is if I was at a hotel bar hotel studing at a hotel by myself and the bar was packed and there were like I thought there were like females there like I might even like pop my head in I don’t the drunker people are the better the uh the the golf people drinking though not a uh not they teach their own but uh a lot of a lot of old dudes in in packs I don’t care for it no but I mean the people around here the people uh at the tournament you know are absurdly nice all the all the workers all the people walking around you let me ask you let me ask you this Fred I witnessed this three times yesterday as not security uh people but like cops I don’t know Hartford cops Connecticut state troopers whatever walking around walking on the grounds uh a lot of them you know work as details walking with you know some of the groups and I heard multiple people either thank them and in one case the man went up to the police officer shook his hand and said thank you for your service oh they’re old losers yeah I don’t think it I don’t think it’s a loser thing if I’m already speaking to somebody and they say that they’re you’re friends with cops I’m friends with cops you’re friends with firemen I’m friends with firemen I I I don’t know if I’m comfortable with thank you for your service okay so and it just number one it it doesn’t sound genuine when you say thank you for your service like I I met a guy and became friends with a guy recently and I found out after I met him that he was a firefighter cuz I met him under different circumstances and after I already kind of knew him it was more of a passing like oh you’re a firefighter that’s awesome thanks for doing that and that’s it these people are like Crossing sidewalks and walking up to Cops and shaking the cops I don’t you know if the cop wants to shake your hand no no they don’t want to shake your hand no no no no they they don’t want to be bothered oh believe me no that’s weird that’s weird it’s soing and I and I think I can speak of it quite well for my entire life I mean my uh Uncle Vincent was the the chief of was the chief of the police Union and and a cop in Jamaica Queens I mean there I’ve known cops all around grown up I I I I never heard thank you for your Ser you never went up to a cop and said thank you for your service wait when the hell did that happen like you don’t see that on like shows from like the 50s 60s 7s 80s and ’90s like there’s not a Seinfeld where Jerry goes up to a cop and says thank you for the service it’s true I mean you know if if they like uh our friend dick donu like when you’re in like some crazy ass situation that like was that you you know you got into it it got into the S then you then that’s when you you go holy moly like like that’s a situation you were in that whole Marathon bombing shootout and everything else like stuff like that I then then you go oh my goodness like you know he got all effed up in that thing he’s great now but he got all effed up in that thing I mean that dick you go like okay like because even dick I knew him before the thing and and then after I I then then you got to be like oh dude I mean you you took a bunch for the team here like you know thank you that yeah but just like some guy standing there no that would make everyone uncomfortable I believe I don’t know you have friends to I know you have friends that are cops and you know I have friends that are fireman and cops newon fireman and cops I couldn’t imagine oh boy I think they might slap me I said thank you for your service to be like what the hell’s wrong with you go screw yourself it’s kind of an if you’re if you’re like a just a decent person right and it doesn’t always go without saying but it’s kind of understood it’s like wow I’m glad you’re doing that so uh you know the rest of us don’t have to be uh you know real men and women no you you you you you know take care of all that stuff it’s kind of understood that they’re that they’re appreciated but yeah and I think if they’re walking the heart The Travelers Championship I don’t think they’re under much danger I don’t think that’s much Service as so much is detail oh I would be I would be absolutely shocked actually head on a swipple Fred head on a swipple sure they might someone might yell during someone’s back swing and then you got to really take them down ooh they got the stim meter going on the practice screen behind me right now I don’t know if we can get a shot of this but oh this is a treat now Ladi and gentlemen this is something you don’t see all that often the you see what’s going on down there the parade is going on today we need to break this up party s meter they’re rolling they’re rolling balls off the stim meter to check the speed of the greens Fred the is cool je I hope this information get back to the golfers before it’s too late the parade I’m sure they would like it but no one else would the parade is today you’re aware of this Hardy I know that’s why they have you in hardford yeah huh but the uh parade and this was not Hardy’s idea iner to Hardy this is Hardy was has to be there for the station I’m happy to be here I know I know but it’s not like you went hey this is the greatest idea the day of the parade but oh that part of it well sure well I I don’t want people to get be under the pression that you were such a golf hard hun that you were like screw the parade where I’m just going to go broadcast from Cromwell Connecticut okay yeah see what I’m saying you’re looking out for me yeah a little bit and the show so it’s sort of selfish too but the uh the idea is is that young Nikolai there was we could have broadcast down there but then it would have been in like some studio and we would have been far away and there would have been the show just wouldn’t have been good would have been very quiet for about 3 hours yeah and then also with Hardy in one and all of us in like another location and then so we’re all being three locations including walam downtown and The Travelers and and and it didn’t none none of the ideas the station had seemed like it would be good for the like for audio purposes right and like we weren’t going to be like around the players so I said screw that but uh what we will have is Young Nicholas down there checking in and even if they’re not like particularly funny check-ins he can tell you what’s going on cuz I know probably a million of you are going down to the parade today so Nicholas will be down there and also Tyler Milligan’s cousin uh but we I don’t know we won’t talk to him today but just know on Monday or Tuesday he’s around with a sign with his grandma and a uh audio of his songs yes Jonathan forcing Nicholas to adequately describe what is around him in clear cohesive sentences might be worth the entertainment value alone there was a video Nicholas has like got a a a cute baby and uh you know as opposed to most babies but he’s got a he’s got like I think he it wouldn’t be a baby anymore it’s a toddler he’s got a toddler and uh they he put a cute picture up on Instagram of him and his toddler I do like when people have like real little kids and you don’t see them like it’s it’s nice to see them like like getting older so it’s Nick like he’s fixing a mower which I call the question but there’s also uh the kids sitting there next to him uh holding on to a tool and I swear this occurred me how much longer is Nick going to be smarter than him like how much longer is Nick going to be better at this than his kid because for most of us our kids my kids my son started getting better than me at a bunch of stuff like 16 15 and a half 16 uh not definitely not you know uh book smart stuff but he’s gotten uh like athletically certainly way better than me like he can beat me at everything now athletically it’s like ridiculous um I’m thinking Nick gets outwitted by that kid six I was going to say eight but all right when does he start kindergarten six five five or six depends I think that once he gets that education rolling in the in the school system that he starts out with Nick a little bit like he’s start starting going wrong tool dad I do like uh Wall’s uh one wondering about how Nick will be able to describe the parade the parade because it’s not like we’ve asked him to you know hop in a you like a like a space travel that he’s not Jodie Foster in contact going to a parallel Galaxy all they should have sent a poet I can’t even describe this twin nebula and all the stars and moons that I’m no it’s a parade there’s a duckboat who’s on it there’s another duckboat who’s on it will Nick be able to pull that off well Nick does to do that Nick just has to say I’m here at such and such a place here’s here’s how hard yeah a building over there no not not not even that here’s how hard it was to get here oh here’s around how many people are standing right now if you’re looking to come this is crowded and this isn’t that’s all he has to say he’s like go people no people okay all right right hold on somebody there’s a caddy walking down right now who is that for what is it does he have his bib on how do you know no you can’t he doesn’t have the bib on yet it was hot here yesterday was it hot what’s he packing does he look like uh he’s got a Callaway Tour bag and he’s got a he’s got a portable track man they’re going to they’re going to do a little work doing work is what they call it on the Range here at this time in the morning at Travelers championship for wow what a novel phrase yeah yeah I invented that I don’t know uh I I yeah you probably did doing and then work uhhuh interesting all right uh Jonathan what we were going to do what happened last night well we have the parade to discuss Joe Mula on with the midday show yesterday and uh we have what else do we have not much happened last night Fred JJ reck is is partnering up with this podcast buddy we had a trade in the NBA and the Patriots got some work they were doing some work yesterday they got a contract well that sounds like an awful lot more than like the last couple days you no [ __ ] you fool all right uh Hardy’s over there at The Travelers I sure am There’s a garbage truck thank you for your [Laughter] service all right uh there you go thank you for your service all right uh we’ll be back in just a moment [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hey we are toucher and Hardy Hardy’s over at The Travelers Championship Nick is out at the parade uh Johnny boy what’s coming up oh we had no Stanley Cup finals no basketball and no Red Sox no actual games to speak of but fortunately we do have a parade to discuss the Celtics have won a championship they’ve taken the Larry O’Brien trophy to Miami for 24 hours for some reason the head coach has taken it to the North in for a meet and greet but today the trophy and the team will be on duckboats for a rolling rally through the city Joe Missoula the guest of the zolak and bird TR show yesterday morning here on 985 The Sports Hub told the guys he’s used to this kind of ride you ever been on a duckboat so uh the staff we did a duckboat tour we kind of spoke it into existence and I was like we’re going to start the season with a duckboat tour so the staff took one you know most most coached Retreats guys go away uh you know go to the beach go to tape Crow go to different places we did our coaches Retreat uh in downtown Boston and you know cuz we had we had new staff members and we were creating this identity of building a connection to the city and I was like we’re doing our staff retreat in Boston uh we’re going to dinner in Boston we’re going at a Boston hotel and we’re going to do the duckboat tour so we can understand the city and the history and uh we need to know what this is really all about so we did one at the beginning of the year and we’re going to end one with one huh Doc Rivers did something similar but he did it with players at the start of 20072 2008 he took those guys on a duckboat tour the big three at the time and said this is the parade route yeah I heard that this is this is what we’re chasing so uh those guys have been on one but it’ll be a a little different tomorrow I don’t think you’ll be learning so much about the history as you will uh the people you know the crowds is a big which is a huge strength and I’m really excited to watch the see how the people uh just support the players and support those guys like that’s going to be awesome like and um it’s going to be really fun to watch them uh enjoy that I heard that he had I heard he did an interview with that part of my take show and he said that he had a vision board yes that him and his friend put together and that on that vision board he had the Larry O’Brien trophy Brad Stevens and the Boston Celtics that’s correct so uh I mean this is a uh a whole situation he’s spoken it into existence you know that you’re the coaches you don’t want to go anywhere a station you know just kind of hang out with everyone they’ll go anywhere wonder why Brad Stevens was on the vision board so he explained it he said that yeah it was got boring but he he explained it in like something about when he was at Butler and you know the the cross between the colleges that he was looking at and everything else that’s a uh yeah he’s just he’s a unique fella I know why Brad Stevens likes him so much because he again I didn’t know this but when he was at West Virginia and Bob Huggins was his coach he didn’t play Missoula was just like on the bench so during before the tournament he said that they should start playing as his own defense and he pitched it to Huggins and that Huggins ended up doing into in the tournament and they ended up going the final four so he credited like Missoula enough so that after the uh after like one of the tournament games they interviewed Missoula who like never gotten on the court with was not one of the coaches they interviewed him about that whole thing I still love that but you see that picture I showed you of Missoula and the uh Governor’s Mansion at West Virginia wearing that 4XL college shirt so do you remember like what skaters used to wear in like 1991 1992 like super baggy pants and like super long polos and super long t-shirts like like ridiculously baggy pants Missoula a good 15 years after that just rocking this Polo that goes down to his knees it’s a it’s it’s a it’s a not a good look he he looks like he’s in a time machine but I don’t think Missoula really cared about that kind of stuff it’s like this techic color it is as if he forgot that he was going to the governor’s mansion didn’t have a collared shirt and the center on the team 7 foot tall center said here here’s a collared shirt and Missoula is like 61 so the thing was hanging down to his knees everyone else is in a college shirt looks nice missoula’s front row Center wearing this Technicolor horizontal stripe thing or Missoula was at like some Darkness Retreat or some kind of uh you know silent meditation weekend and he decided to he he just didn’t follow fashion for you know 15 years and just still had the same clothes still thought that was good he was totally crossed out in some of the pictures too he was a big crisscross guy yeah Missoula is is an interesting fella I could see why that a guy like Brad Stevens would would would fall in love with him and what’s funny about the NBA is they were talking about the JJ reic thing j suppose we’ll get into it in a minute so I won’t get so much into R JJ reic but everyone’s like the NBA isn’t high school and college basketball it’s not about like really calling plays and and devising offenses and defenses like you don’t have to have like 80 plays to get into a game it’s about motivating your team to you know to perform at their best consistently like it’s a motivational tactic yeah everybody’s basketball IQ is to the level where if they see something everyone on the floor knows how to react to it and they’re so good athletically that they can you know they can make up for all that stuff you know if you’re Princeton playing against Georgetown there’s such a a deficit in talent that you really have to devise something to slow the game down and to and to you know get away from their height of advantage and everything else I mean there’s but when everyone’s NBA teams I mean look the the Celtics were way better than the teams they played but there’s not this ginormous you know Talent deficit on these in these matchups so it is funny that Missoula is this I I I everything I hear him say it’s almost like he has these unique ways of motivating which is a little Phil Jackson and Phil that’s what I was thinking Fred like I wonder if there’s a correlation between the the uniqueness or eccentricity level of an NBA coach and getting guys to buy in like this might seem a little bit crazy but if you get enough wins and enough guys are and again it’s not so much the X’s and O’s it’s more about the the game day mentality or a defensive mentality I would say is the biggest thing and if it and if you see success from it you’re like all right I’m going to buy into this crazy a little bit and whether it’s Phil Jackson or Joe Missoula or whoever if it works then I think guys are more more likely to buy in you know kind of as a group more more specifically you have to sell your best players on it first it can’t just be the collective and that goes back to the hiring process to begin with the Celtics I’m sure went to Jason Tatum and said we’re thinking of promoting Joe moula what do you think and Tatum said oh I like that guy let’s let’s do it and that was the first step to getting everyone else on board so well I mean what Phil Jackson did I think would be easy to motivate a great player because his whole thing was was staying in the staying present and be getting into again that flow state that those grades do like they when they get into that where they’re not thinking where everything slows down and it’s believed that you can almost will yourself into that state through concentration so if I was a great player and you said oh wow because I guess everyone who’s in the NBA have have games where they just everything was going in and everything had slowed down for him and it’s very hard to will yourself into that to that way of thinking or that way of being yeah and if someone said I have a an idea of how you can achieve this I would imagine that would be something you’d want to know I’d want to know mhm teach me oh sweet Guru go ahead Johnny okay rolling rally begins at 11:00 a.m. next to TD Garden it’ll travel past government center and the Boston Common it ends on bston Street next to the Hines Convention Center as you mentioned a couple of times already we have our own Nick jamell live next to the Garden in the area all morning Zac and bertran live from Hurricane O’Reilly’s uh beginning at 10:00 a.m. here on the flagship radio station of the Celtics 985 the sportsa but the rolling rally fret is not the only NBA news of the morning the Lakers were rejected by Yukon head coach Danny Hurley earlier this month so they’ve settled on their second choice for head coach JJ reck I think what Rob palenka Genie bus of the Lakers saw with JJ reck was upside was potential they saw someone who they felt you know has a tremendous basketball IQ has an ability to connect with players and they’re willing to take the risk that his learning curve uh will be short if they can put the right coaching staff around them the right assistance with him that he’ll move quickly uh in that job and you know this was not a Marketplace L where there were a lot of real accomplished uh highlevel coaches available yeah this is great and great for him get a guy with no experience in arguably I’ve I heard Nick Wright say this arguably the least amount of experience of any coach coming into a job in the history of the modern NBA I don’t even think it was arguably I think he said it was and in with no coaching experience at any level no front office experience nothing yeah even Joe moula was a head coach at a lower level College Joe moula was a coach I mean he was on the staff I mean even like a high school coach like no coaching and the thing is is that you take this guy the team already knows you didn’t want him they you that’s not the guy you even wanted you offered a six-year deal to a college coach now this guy’s got a four-year deal which I suppose is what they signed for is what they’re saying 4 years 32 million yeah and so JJ re and so on on both parts if I’m JJ reic I would have stayed what I was what I was doing was terrible at it so maybe it was good to get out of it and and if I’m the I mean the Lakers are just they’re just stuck in garbage they’re they’re really just stuck in it you hear one of the candidates to be his assistant is Rajan Rondo who by all accounts has a great basketball mind but hasn’t really coached a lot either his kid’s one of the top middle school kids in the country uh they uh yeah they they’re apparently going to line him up with a bunch of like you know Big Time veteran assistants and P is one of those guys they’ve spoken to assistance I heard I heard someone say last night they were reluctant to say that um JJ reck is not qualified for the job I said why not say it he has no qualifications for the job he knows a lot about basketball yeah yeah and and he and he played for a long time so so so what how good a coach was magic does that mean how how does that translate into coaching how good a coach was magic awful he was an awful coach I mean being good at basketball and knowing a lot about basketball doesn’t have anything to do with how good a coach you are we’ve seen that yeah I mean Missoula never played in the NBA Missoula how how would Missoula he’s never been a peer of these guys and he’s younger than a guy or two on the team Guy Brad Ste perfect example yeah Brad Ste first coach first coaching job is head coach of the Lakers your first coaching job of any he he got the job because he’s got a podcast with the main Superstar well and I don’t know why you’re you’re and then now they’re talking about bronny James I don’t know why they’re giving that organization which is far bigger than any individual player it is it is why and they don’t it’s not like Boston where they forever had to try to get free agents I don’t think it’s going to be a problem now but where they forever had to try to get free agents here and no one wanted to play here every single person wants to play in Los Angeles for the Lakers you are bigger than any individual player maybe not Michael and Jordan in his prime and maybe not LeBron in his prime but you’re bigger than LeBron right now look the uh one of these websites just put the top one ringer put the top 100 NBA players and they had LeBron like 14th regardless if you agree with that or not he’s not a top five player and he’s old I’m not doing anything for him I am big what is it with these Z not going my league in my team is bigger than this guy unless it’s like Steph Curry and I’m Golden State and he’s winning all these championships and he’s like the face of the franchise and this like incredible guy all this and that then I understand head coach would just got through telling you I’m sure they ran em udoka and Joe moula by Jason Tatum before they hired either one of them no I know but they are coaches and and Brad Stevens won in Missoula and Brad Stevens won in adoka no the that’s completely different John you know that they yeah they asked Tatum if it’s cool but they’ve but they just asked him at the end they didn’t have Tatum didn’t go to him and go I want Joe Missoula yeah or I want em adoka and at least they’re coaches like they they have coached basketball th this is and and and Jason tum didn’t go hey go sign dece like go sign Deuce that’s true oh wait wait wait wait is like a fifth grade yeah yeah put him on the team it’s the same difference it’s sign bronny James Duce would be as good on the Celtics as bronny James is going to be on the Lakers as he’ll contribute as much yeah oh and I’m not kidding Brony James is not an NBA player right now he I don’t know he’s not big and he’s he’s he’s he not like he’s just got size so he can go out there and play defense I mean he’s a good he would keep his father happy yeah Deuce would keep uh Jason Tatum happy yeah same contribution but I don’t know why so interested in keeping LeBron happy that’s what I’m saying I don’t understand it you’re bigger than him I don’t know what why these owners eat such crap all the time I I don’t know I would I would have in Milwaukee for Giannis and I wouldn’t and I would in Golden state for curry but they won and like no one wants to go to Milwaukee and so if I’m lucky enough to keep the guy I I want to please him that I get once he won the the title but they they’ve done that you know they’ve gotten both of his brothers neither of whom can really play basketball well on the roster so I bet you they’re better than bronnie James cly bigger thanasis and teda Copo is more than likely better than Brony James certainly bigger yes all right uh we’ll be back in just a moment sportsub headlines Celtics won a

football now the Patriots have spent the entire off season bringing back key pieces of the roster and yesterday they locked up their top running back 20-yard completion for The Catch and Carry and a give now to Stevenson big hole running through the right side across the 40 outside to the 45 down the right side pass Defenders goodbye to the 2520 to the 10 to the five and Zone bound touchdown Patriots who take the lead boy it’s good to see that something about that guy shows a little pop you’re down 10 defense makes a big play to get you going in this game that’s the big thing ra Andre Stevenson told the media at mandatory mini camp less than two weeks ago a new contract was coming yesterday Elliot wolf sealed the deal it’s a 4-year extension worth $36 million with 17 million guaranteed the $9 million a year price tag ranks him seventh in the NFL behind Christian mcaffrey Alvin Kamar Jonathan Taylor and others but the most important part of this guys is the Patriots have locked up Stevenson Kyle Dugger Mike and wnu Hunter Henry Kendrick Bourne and Anthony Jennings for at least the next three seasons and there’s really only one of the contract out there it’s Matthew judon he’s entering the last year of his contract it’ll pay him a base salary of $6.5 million but he will be 32 years of age in August let’s get to some of like look do you assign running backs to four-year deals especially ra Andre Stevenson who’s good not great um it it’s a little weird but I will tell you this Andrew Callahan made a great great point on Twitter our friend Andrew Callan very loyal Andrew Callan said I understand General push back on paying running backs but specifically to the Patriots what’s the downside here the SP Pat still lead the league in uh it still lead the league in NFL lead the NFL in cap space they rank 30th in cash spent for the next year when this deal really kicks in they’ve used that cash and cap to retain one of their best uh I can’t get this to one of their best players so on and so forth uh okay one s players and weapons in his prime on a deal that should rank outside the top 10 running back soon enough the deal does not prohibit them from adding more weapons and they should be able to cut him without consequence before he’s 30 fine contract and I don’t have a problem I got a couple things to say about this I don’t have a uh a problem with them resigning these guys as a message to the team at all or a message to incoming free agents that we keep our talent at all if that’s the message that they’re making right now and they want to resign guys in their Prime to like really kind of reasonable contracts that aren’t going to screw him up absolutely like people are crapping on it like oh you’re sending a message so that’s one thing number two uh people are going oh I guess Bill can pick no he can’t no he can’t at all 22 G draft class Cole strange tawon Thorton Marcus Jones Jack Jones Pierre strong Bailey zappy Kevin haris Sam Roberts Jason H he can’t pick just be you can’t Ju Just because of they resigned what how many guys have they resigned four five five yeah five five picks over how many years I mean get get out of here with that he he and some of them aren’t even picks yeah no no no I’m talking about how many guys have they how many of their own players have they they got six Stevenson Dugger on oneu Hunter Henry Kendrick Bourne Anthony j h hun Henry was was a free agent but the other and Bourne was a free agent so four four guys yeah wow four picks congratulations yeah he’s the best he’s missed far more than he’s hit yeah and he’s missed number he’s missed first round pick he’s missed get out of here like I guess you can pick I guess you what is your deal with Bill Thon Jack Jones I mean come on I just gave you the 2022 draft class it’s horrible it’s a horrible draft class correct Mike you’re the ex yeah no though of those guys that you mentioned Marcus Jones is really the impact guy and we don’t know how much of an impact really because he was hurt most of last season oh congratulations Marcus Jones I mean uh you know yeah in the 2021 uh draft class he got barmore and he got Stevenson and that’s awesome but he drafted ma Jones so I mean there you go and they and he didn’t have to draft ma Jones and by the way having having when you when you when you just decide you’re going to take whatever quarterback is left by the time you get around to picking you kind of had to pick him if you want to fault him for I don’t know maybe not identifying a better quarterback and moving up or not picking him all together yeah that’s different and also drafting Christian Gonzalez when he lands in your lap in the middle of the first round a guy that was supposed to go in the top 10 also does not take a lot of skill look man but good you drafted him I mean it’s better than drafting cold strange I mean at least you drafted him so good you drafted a you again you hit on a first round pick and we don’t even know if you hit on it let’s just say you did you got a good got a good Corner in the first round congratulations that I mean that’s great but that does not a GM make you should you should have he’s a I don’t know what the deal with him is he’s a terrible terrible GM I mean I think happen to think he’s a good coach but uh I mean there’s no debating he’s an awful awful GM and his his modus operandi was no longer working you like how I threw that in theot op that was really cool I got I got an email yesterday Fred from somebody who said you were using the phrase social mores multiple times during the show either yesterday or the day before does that ring a bell with you probably it sounds like something cool I’d say so I believe I believe the emailer wanted to know where did you hear it uh and I was listening to 50 Shades of Gray on on tape let me take you the 2019 draft class shall we sure nille har Harry oh yeah some joequan Williams or Jaan Williams Jaan Williams yeah yeah gone Chase winovich who now is I’ve been told a 911 denier yeah his family is now not speaking to him for his 9911 uh conspiracy theories exiled to Cleveland Chase winovich yes he’s on a team oh well he was not anymore he’s retired he’s retired yeah he playing Damen Harris and then guys whose names I can’t pronounce until it gets to the S man uh in the fourth round yeah yardney kaj oh Yad kaj yeah offensive lineman yeah yeah you know Hardy’s been down there at training cam so I got to hand it to him he will know no I you know what it is it’s all those years of sitting with pillo and Mike Doo and these guys rattle off the names of training camp players and third string guys and practice uh practice squad guys like their best friends because they know every player who’s go gone through that organization intimately yeah I know yeah that mean and then do they know how to say hati fro hold uh yeah I I I don’t but yeah fro hold yeah sounds I think I think you’re saying it right well of course I am I’m also say social mores impressive and modus operand all right U huh all right so when Bert Breer gets here uh we will uh talk to him but I do when he’s here because there’s not let’s be honest like so much football to talk about but uh I will tell you about my evening last night with two 13-year-old girls slow down it gets better at the a boogie with the hoodie show I can’t can’t wait to hear about this and I just learned a few seconds ago Fred that as you just said correctly his name is a boogie with dah hoodie don’t forget the article at the beginning I thought he was just Boogie with dah hoodie no I said a I know you said it you said it right so you know oh I was there yeah of course I mean I had the program and all the merch I I I bought the program no well yeah well you get the play bill when you walk into a show like that and then you count the songs you see when the intermission is and uh you’ll enjoy this Hardy because I don’t I don’t think you enjoy when people do this either I had uh a couple people in my life inform me just how the crowd would be and I went I don’t think so and they went oh well you wouldn’t know old man and guess who was wrong those those people and there’s nothing I hate more than someone just battling in to me that I’m wrong when they don’t know any better than I do all right we’ll be right back in just a moment you

everything’s fantastic better than ever uhoh huh well did did did he think something was wrong it information came out that I saw that was the Memorial Day weekly and it was supposed to be pointing out something and then instead it said like oh boy like things are close and it’s a bunch and then I saw that this guy’s like are things close and I’m like no they’re not close at all the week was close it was a Memorial Day weekend and that happens from time to time people you know did just people get close people get da da da but it but as a three-month aggregate it’s it couldn’t be further apart we’re number one we will finish number one by a lot that’s it if it makes everyone happy but I because I’m and only reason I’m saying is I’m getting supportive emails but but I but I’m like I

mentioning it because I want to calm their fears believe me things going to be better this is like when people in my business think anyone knows who break breaks a transactional story and everybody fights over it and then you ask somebody who’s like a pretty big sports fan and they can’t tell you who broke the story all right so 12 there’s 12 weeks in a book and you know there’s some weeks that I mean there it’s not a perfect science and there’s some weeks that uh that whether it’s a holiday or something like that where things get a little screwy and we were still number one in what they’re talking about and we’re number one by in most markets a solid margin but the but people go oh but that’s like an outlier you know every other of the 11 months we’re we’re by far number one that’s so just everyone relax we are the number one show we will continue to be in fact there are some shows that we have quite druple the ratings uh you can watch us on YouTube uh search 985 the sports sub and we’re not going to Tweet out the ratings and all that nonsense and beat our chest like idiots and fools but uh but I just wanted to say that to it’s was just get rid of your fears uh bur bre here is the senior NFL reporter and lead content strategist for the mmqb he joins us in studio this morning now what did you do last night Fred well I got home at 1:00 I was curious I got home at 1:00 in the morning because I was at this gentleman’s con it doesn’t sound anything like the record because they have to they have to project more generally in concert it ends up being shouting more than it is any kind of vocalizing or like good sounding rapping which is why I think most hip-hop live shows don’t sound great it just it ends up people trying to shout down each other well maybe you have found out what aboogie with the hoodie has found out and said you know what I’m not going to do use the microphone no no so he had a guy out that came out before who was just some kid and whatever I don’t I don’t know and then another guy came out when I say the stage was Barren there wasn’t even a DJ for the for the guy who opened for him like the the the guy right before a boogie with the hoodie when you want to talk about and and my daughter like knew who he was and liked him and he was actually a better performer than a boogie with the hoodie but he was just on a stage a empty stage with a black cloth backdrop there was I mean you know how bands can be dicks when they’re open like You’ you’ve heard about bands that become successful and they’re like when we open for you know mly crew they wouldn’t give us any of their pyro they wouldn’t let it give us any sound like they they like bands are notoriously dick sometimes to opening acts I’ve never seen anything like this my entire life they’re like we’re not even going to let your DJ be on stage like you are going to be up there alone now he did not use the microphone but he did take off his shirt and I will give him credit for that so but but what happens is um the they play the song uh Dan if you would play the play a boogie with the hoodie so you said they’re playing their song yes they are playing this what you are hearing now every element of it they are playing his record they are playing his record and not even on vinyl they’re playing they’re playing and that’s all that happens he does does he uh like lip sync does he appear to be like mouting the words as the song is playing no so it will go like it’ll go and then go yeah play it play it from the beginning and I’ll do what he did all right so this is the track in the background and I’m a boogie with the hoodie wor $200 a ticket wow fine and and and it’s the it’s just watching a guy dance to his album and it’s it in dance when I say dance not like dance like choreograph dance they basically decided not to hide it is what you’re saying oh the crowd didn’t care by the way my when I said no one was going to be there I was entirely wrong that place was filled that now general admission wasn’t so like the front of the stage was kind of lame but the entire Upper Deck LGE everything was filled interesting filled filled see I would think like I would think if you’re going to book a concert at a place like that you have to know that it’s going to get sold out beforehand you’d be surprised dude like The Black Keys just booked a big arena yeah right well that was free but he was that wasn’t a moneymaking thing that was a please love me thing that was a uh yeah General lope like a legacy thing Jennifer lo I mean it’s kind of sad but Jennifer like I’m I I’m not i’ I’ve seen many many hip-hop shows and I and you can almost I don’t go to a lot of concerts anymore so I can lose myself in her performance like when I saw Olivia Rodrigo I was like okay like the crowd super into it and like they’re yelling back at her and there’s like a stage show and she’s like riding crap around like a moon around and yeah she’s you know when she interacts with the crowd she’s this very EP aescent charismatic person this is just a dude just a dude he didn’t even take a shirt off he’s just a dude just dancing and and when I say dancing I’m using that term very Loosely to his own song was was your daughter and her friend happy with the concert um I mean they like that they were there and but they were like it sucked they they were like he didn’t do anything they’re like he didn’t even rap I mean they were a little concerned with the lack of performance yeah I mean like I don’t know like see that’s the thing is like I you would think that there’d be he wouldn’t do that if he didn’t know a lot of people weren’t going to leave fine with it so like and I would assume your daughter’s in a target audience right like so so let’s bring that up I was told by a couple females in my life one being Kendra oh you’ll be surprised you’ll be surprised like this crowd man you’re going to be I can’t wait to see you there this crowd this crowd and I go I don’t know my daughter likes this stuff but I like the makeup of the crowd the age and everything like like but let me let me finish the Tik Tock like and I go and I go the only reason my daughter knows who this guy is his Tik Tok he she’s not like going to record stores and combing through vinyl like like crate digging I mean she’s she’s she’s knows what’s on Tik Tok I go I find it very difficult to believe this audience is not going to be all teen like teens yeah oh you’d be surprised you don’t know you’ll be surprised not anyone over the age of 21 not one person over the age of 21 yeah all teenagers every single one of them a teenager the least intimidating crowd I’ve ever been in my entire life yeah it’s like it’s like uh the Olivia Rodrigo or something where it’s all you know kids under the age of uh I was going to say 25 but it’s probably 21 and the only the only outliers Fred are the parents of the really young kids who are there with them that’s it there’s nothing in between the but the Olivia Rodrigo crowd was way more interesting let me explain huge gay audience that like come like you know dressed to the nines but not 30 years old I mean they’re still very young Olivia Rodrigo when I was in Detroit she had like an older gay audience there too now now not older meaning like 40 but like like like there were groups of gay people like in their 20s there that were like super dressed up for it so it was interesting and like more of a scene do you know what I’m saying like it was like like more a scene it was this was a bunch of teenagers in chaperon teenagers without yeah sort of it’s teen but more teenagers without chaperon like I’d say my daughter was like on the younger side but it didn’t get much older like there were okay I’ll give you an example when I went out did you see other dads there in the same position you were yeah yeah we all were sitting down but the uh the cuz I’m like why am I cuz I was getting in my daughter’s way when I was standing up so I just sat and watched I watched the Cardinal game that’s how boring it was so um when shout out to the TD Garden for having reception oh such great reception such great reception strong Wii you have Wi-Fi to pick up the game at at one point this pretty funny this is a concert right at one point I’m walking down the aisle with two orders of chicken tenders and fries and two waters and a coke at at a concert if you ever would have told me I would be doing thatan Dad if you ever told me I’d be doing that in my life I’d be like just kill him now oh but um so when I then then they’d tell you what the concert you were at yeah so when yeah well I would probably think I would be into it but I also think that he would perform when I left the garden I couldn’t get anything going they first of all they were set for setting up for the parade but when they uh you could not get there were no cabs in front of the garden why 5,000 cars of parents picking up their kids yeah so we walked and walked and walked and in props to The Tavern on the Square guy very cool fan big fan of the show you guys are always welcome he said whenever he wants to go in let me use the restroom but you know how when you get lifts out there and you can’t get lifts because they keep canceling them once you get them so I just kept walking with the girls and walking with the girls and every street we went on was just jammed cuz it was parents with just parked with their hazards on on the side of the street all around the garden like back streets of the garden all of it and a bunch of girls going where the hell are you why are you upset at me it was just a sea of girls screaming into their phones at their parents you upset and I went you know what this sounds about right here’s the poor parent like at 11:30 at night sitting in the city trying around just the worst scenario Poss on a Thursday night trying to find their effing ungrateful kid while their kid screams and yells at them that they’re not in the right place because I’m sure the parents not in the right place I be officially become a parent my now my daughter was great and her friend was great but there was a we stayed for the whole thing but there was a point where my daughter went wow I’m tired this is pretty boring like that that did happen and uh so it wasn’t just me but I I got to tell you I got to give the guy credit he did not even pretend he did not lip sync he did not use the microphone he didn’t sing or rap nothing he it was just unbelievable it was it was it wasn’t karaoke it was An Li liip sync contest putting on the hits was a more uh genuine Affair than this was he was just just like jumping on one leg and like so God bless them you don’t understand you don’t understand it you’re not you’re going to be uncomfortable the audience I’m like I don’t know if I’m going to be uncomfortable not many places make me uncomfortable it’s the TD Garden after all you’re going to be uncomfortable you don’t understand boo real uncomfortable Fred I know why you’re such a fan though as I as I read up on a boogie with the hoodie uh Julius debose is his real name uh he got in some legal trouble uh back in January of 2022 he was sued by uh homeowners who claimed uh he clogged the toilets of their mansion yes causing $250,000 in damage God please move move in uh and I will tell January 21 yes in uh that was in Bergen County New Jersey yeah and if you want to know who’s vaping uh look no further than the a every 14 to 20 yearold is constantly vaping I thought it was going to be constant weed smoke and and it was not all right it was just people vaping which I thought was pretty funny because I’m like I’m like I don’t know that many people that vape and then here we are there was like every single person was vaping I went good for you i w give me some of that yeah I just I I was putting my mouth on all of them I was doing five at a time but who’s the good dad is what I’m getting at yeah that’s the takeaway yeah I tell you what I I don’t think I would have done that I I waited an hour for I’ve gone I’ve gone to shows I didn’t want to go to but I don’t know I mean I would I would have been so angry after the first 10 minutes he’s not even rapping he like he wasn’t holding a mic did he have a headset mic he must have because he was no he was no he was holding a mic he was holding a mic yeah but holding it at his waist but here’s the thing I don’t know if I’ve never seen that though like there you go to concerts where you can tell someone’s lip sinking I’ve been to like Super Bowl halftime shows where you can see their lip syncing I’ve never seen it where the person just throws their hands up and says I’m not even going to pretend okay if you see Usher spent the money we’re already here if you see Usher at halftime and he’s lip syncing part of it why is he lip syncing because he’s got this incredibly intricate high performance dance routine he’s doing and it would be impossible to do both right so you kind of Robb Peter to pay Paul fine yeah this and by the way that it wasn’t even loud enough to bother me so like it wasn’t that bad Hardy like I know you’re thinking that it would have been like this huge loud thing and like annoying crowd like the crowd wasn’t even that into it and like it wasn’t even loud like I just I watched part of the cardinal game which I never do I just watch got some food well I I got it for them but yeah I I but I just if you ever would have told me I’d be had a show with two waters and a Diet Coke and a couple ofenders and Fries gang and I’m like excuse me excuse me when I go down the aisle pardon me gang I got all the food here for you big stupid Suburban dad dork big fat dork walking around I disgust myself all right ber Brier’s here Bert and one day you’ll be doing these things I’m probably not far off from that oh no you’re very close how old are the kids 9 s and four oh yeah yeah you’re you’re you’re uh three years yeah three years from having to do a lot of a lot of this garbage right now you’re in driving time where I’m still at with my son MH but you’ll get to this all right uh we’ll be back in just a moment the Patriots with r Stevenson we can talk to him about some of the uh the problems people have with that deal not so much for rre Stevenson but this the organization in general and just the moment tcher and Hardy 985 The Sports Hub [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] back with toner and Hardy on 985 the sports [Music] up hey we are toucher and hardy hardy is out there at The Travelers Championship just in time for the parade and young Nicholas is at the parade is he checking in with us coming up next next break uh so he’ll be checking in with us your New England Patriots it’s very exciting have uh signed Rand Dre Stevenson and um people are saying that why they do it he’s a running back it’s a fouryear $ 36 million extension I’ve heard Andrew Callahan say why not they have all this money also they can get out of it at a certain point your feelings on ra Andre Stevenson in the signing yeah I don’t mind it I mean it’s it’s one of those things where running backs have become so devalued that they almost become a value you know um like if you look at like what Christian mcaffrey is making right now he got a bump but his contract was $16 million per year all right so think about how much he affects the 49ers right and I’m going to pull up the receivers right now um who are making that much it’s I mean you’re talking about like when you get to that level of Receiver right like that’s making $16 million a year Tyler Lockett Jerry Judy Christian Kirk courland Sutton I mean who would you rather have you know yeah so then let’s go down to what raand Dre Stevens Stevens is making right he’s got the same contract I mean Marvin Harrison Jr is gonna make that on his rookie contract right Juju is making $9 million a year stop I mean it’s just embarrassing I mean Adam thielen on his last legs is making that much Mike Williams is making a little bit more than that with the Jets on a make good deal Brandon Cooks is again like the very back end of his career with the Cowboys is making that much so you know I I think the question becomes like what are we actually talking about here there’s the philosophical part of it which is like don’t pay a running back which I get that because they are replaceable but when a guy’s really important to who you are and your identity and what you’re trying to build and the locker room and everything else I it’s hard for me to get upset about $9 million a year is there a and also like say it maybe this isn’t the best investment in money but they had the money isn’t there or is there I should say yeah something to be said for look the the team did this kind of business for so long that they didn’t retain people we’re sending a message building a culture and sending a message to players around the league that we take care of our guys now here’s the problem the problem is Devon Goda like wants to be paid like he’s like a premier defensive tackle how do you handle that when you’ve taken care of a lot of his teammates Matthew judon who I still don’t think is going to pay play on the contract that he’s on right now I wouldn’t pay him how do you take care of Matthew judon well think about this right like so Matthew judon you got him in it I think it was $14 million per year Nick Bosa is making 34 million at the same position now how much older is judon though right and judon 2 and judah’s not close to I mean Nick Bose is one to probably judah’s gonna be 32 there’s a big big difference there but but if you’re Matthew Jud now put yourself in his shoes right if we’re not just talking him about talking about him as a commodity if you’re him how would you look at that you look at it like well they just got me under market for the last three years I only have so much time to make money so I got to really push it now you know so like I it’s it’s a tricky thing like I applaud them taking care of people and rewarding the guys who’ve done the right things um you know I do Wonder a little bit about what sort of effect this is going to have when we get to the summer with some of the guys who are looking for contracts but um doesn’t it kind of lessen the blow though for guys that are looking for contracts where you I don’t I mean I’m with you I I like his age like I love him as a player I love him as a guy I think he’s been I mean one of the best signings they’ve ever had here right like but how many 30-year-old approaching mid 30y old pass rushers are making a lot of money in the NFL not a lot but those guys do last like those guys like can can now what ends up happening is they turn more into Specialists like when they get older you know but like um you Justin Houston is still kicking around yanuk and G’s been around forever javian Clowney like there are there are a lot of guys that you hear about them this time of year oh they’re still free agents you know what I mean like and then they wind up latching on with somebody so but the thing is the Patriots don’t need them like the Patriots don’t need him they he’s not any use to them he’s 32 and they’re not going to be any good this year go get an asset that will help you when you’re going to be good and I would agree with that like if if if judon is set on like you got to pay me over 20 a year oh like which I mean like look like I know you scoff at that right yes but but if you’re him again put yourself in his shoes the Patriots and you look at it and you say well Bosa got 34 so shouldn’t I be worth 20 like that’s probably the way I would think about it if I were him so but he’s coming off of an injury which obviously affects things and his age is an issue and um I I don’t think he could find somebody else to pay him that um but if you’re him I I would 100% understand why you would shoot for that based on the way he’s played and everything he’s given here okay let’s uh take a break I want to talk about this idea that since the Patriots have resign these four guys that all of a sudden they’re conceding that bill Bel is a good GM I want to get into that plus I want to break now because we still have to talk to Young Nicholas who’s so brave he’s he’s back at back to his roots right like right near the North End there yeah oh ah Nicholas ah come by why won’t you say hello right there right there ni My Strange Nicholas my AR strange Nicholas the Stones Throw ah Nicholas is there a feast this weekend ah a feast it’s summer in the North End one of the one of the feasts well you know the feasts yeah yeah yeah what Hardy’s agreeing with you yes summer in the Northend yeah something yeah some saints doing something that you got to eat at I’ll tell you that all right uh we’ll be right back with Bert Brier uh from mmqb here are the headlines Sports up headlines Celtics will be the guests of honor

FanDuel Sportsbook make every moment more with FanDuel uh we’re here with Bert Breer from mmqb they’ll be around till 8 I got a break at 50 to get to Young Nicholas uh so uh but you please stay I want you to to be able to talk to Young Nicholas if you if you can um all right so uh one thing I saw people talking about online yesterday was like well look at this the Patriots have uh you know retained for of bellich che’s draft picks uh bill bellich is a good GM and then I said that’s asinine what are your thoughts as as someone who covers the game for a living I mean it’s obvious right like Bill the GM did in Bill the coach and I I think you can even hear it like from some of the people who have come and stuck up for Bill in the aftermath of the roast the aftermath of the dynasty where even guys from the more recent Patriots that didn’t win have defended him you know so um like what would we even be arguing about here like they messed up the draft they messed up roster construction over the end of Bill bellic’s time here which is what wound up doing him in it wasn’t that bill was too old school it wasn’t that bill forgot how to coach it was the freaking roster and I question what anyone who says it wasn’t is even looking at you know cuz it just it was so obvious the last few last few years it took me Googling like three of the four last drafts just like un mitigated disaster who are they signing just the four guys that they’ve resigned this offseason so was like a uch like came back CU he had no Market yeah and then Stevenson Stevenson’s on like a mid-level running back contract sure and then uh they retained Dugger which was a good pick yep and they retained um onnu wenu and wenu fory Jennings they resigned him but he doesn’t really count I mean situational linebacker yeah that doesn’t count I mean like that’s not a building block you know but Doug Stevenson duer and W with the and and I’ve said this like a few times too like the the problem isn’t like that you don’t have Rank and file players here the problem is you don’t have cornerstones and like one of like the weightbearing walls obviously for all of those years was Tom Brady but they also had guys who played premium positions at a very high high level so you know look at the left left tackle situation they had what two left tackles light and so and then at the very end like they ni guy that sold right like so like they had Premiere like Edge rusher linebacker hybrids and Chandler Jones and Dante Hi toow and then before that Mike frel and Willie mcginness they had a lot of great Corners here over the years right ta law obviously at the beginning of the dynasty Samuel Stefan Gilmore Stefan Gilmore derell Rivas for the year akib TB that’s what they’re lacking now yeah like I don’t like all due respect like a guard ain’t winning you the Super Bowl right a a running back a mid-level running back isn’t winning you the Super Bowl what wins you the Super Bowl is having your business taken care of at the most important positions on on the field and that’s where they failed quarterback M Jones bust left tackle Isaiah win bust yeah Corner they just got taken care of but like after Stefon Gilmore what did they have at corner like Jack Jones and like a aot not a whole lot like you just look at it and at the pre at the premium positions they didn’t have their business taking care of and ultimately that is like if you look at the team teams that are the best in the league even the ones that have the great quarterbacks right so Kansas City obviously a massive part of that is Patrick Mahomes but look at their investment in the offensive line they have a premier pass rusher now he’s interior not Ed rusher but that’s Chris Jones um they’ve done really well at corner the last few years in the draft with jerus Sneed and Trent McDuffy and all of those guys like it’s I don’t know how you could look at it and say this this the the roster isn’t a it is the problem can I ask you something uh real quickly uh and I understand defending Bill and I’ve defended bill but like that’s a bridge too far when you’re saying like there’s cuz cuz now what do you like there has to have been a reason for them going 4 and 13 it wasn’t for no reason yeah it’s not CU you can’t coach all right I want you to tell me and you don’t have to name names but are people having a good time with Bill Bel and his 24y old girlfriend in the in the sport it might have been a topic of conversation on a few of my text gr I was explaining this I like how grank like teased it for like two months though I know help himself he’s getting funnier like he doesn’t care about bellich at all it’s pretty cool so I was explaining this to a a girl did you see the picture of them uh the pictures of them like boarding the boat yes that changed my opinion on the whole thing I I don’t get it for either of them now so the uh so the the the thing is this I was like Whoops a Daisy what I’m like huh I I don’t even want either of these people so uh like seriously I’d be like ah but okay so if like if I’m going to if I’m going to be 70 and and 24y old to n tuck it believe me you’re goingon to know who she is she’s gonna stand out but I was explain Anna Nicole yeah’ be like Anna Nicole Smith I would be like a 24y old anth who is the guy that was J Howard Marshall okay all right so I was explaining this to a girl it’s like she’s like I don’t understand what the big deal is other than like you know it’s kind of weird but like I don’t understand the big deal it’s bellich like these guys have positioned themselves as these bastions of morality and like solid Americans and and like you know leaders of men and like meat and potatoes guys and then what and then and then you re then you get fired and the first thing you do is you’re signning text BS being a 24y old on ring C there is I mean like there is a difference there is a difference between it being like a 35-year-old’s would be kind of weird right like but that would be like fine you know what I mean like oh I get it yeah like but but say and by the way you met the girl when she was in college but by the way dude if if you were 73 George Clooney or Mick Jagger like mck Jagger’s 80 right oh there’s some real bad math out there on this one but but mck no no no but Mick Jagger is Mick Jagger Mick Jagger is like this insane he has Charisma he’s this insane cultural icon he’s like you know he hangs out with like these you know the like MC Jagger I get like I get actually wanting to be with MC Jagger going this is cool like this is MC Jagger I’m not even a big Stones fan but I could totally see it he’s a rockar he’s on Arena stages you know celebrities are dying to meet him like you know all my God I can’t believe in I’m in your presence Bill BJ is some old guy like you know what I’m saying he’s like a very much a 73y old man I can’t get enough of it I do love it I do love it I mean the textbook thing is um I got to tell you something off the i i i you’re right you’re right about MC Jagger though Freddy even David Bowie fell under his spell and that’s a guy who wanted nothing to do with him and he he couldn’t say no once they started you don’t you say that but you know why they you’re talking about the danc in the street but you know why they had sex together David Bowie and they did they did have sex together that’s a fact but the reason MC Jagger and David Bowie slept together was because uh well a David Bowie was was known to sleep with men and B they probably were just like why not like everyone like everyone everything else we can do I I don’t I I I can understand it they’re just like you know what like we could have sex with anyone we want and so let’s just have sex sex with each other what I’ve what I’ve really enjoyed about this is the the wording and the reporting like they are I me like the the quot quote unquote news reporters from TMZ are writing this as if they’re writing like normal news stories like as if they’re like covering like you know something in the Middle East you know like I’ll tell you what you find we you again if you find me with the I I would I’m stting with a 24 year-old you’re going to know who she is the chick with the bright blonde hair and the massive cans I mean I I want to know who the source is that confirmed to people or whoever it was that that video The Ring cam video was the girl’s house like who who who went and confirmed that I it just so funny that it is because I’d give him so much more credit if it wasn’t if it was just he was just doing this all the time all right listen uh Burke stick around we’re gonna checking with Young Nicholas as he is at the parade in just a moment stay tuned for more touch now [Music]

Celtics he knocked down a half Boston’s home of the NBA champion Boston Celtics 985 The Sports Hub you’re listening to toucher and Hardy on The Sports Hub [Music] [Music] [Music] all right we are toucher and Hardy lock hearts in studio because uh our friend Rob Hardy pool is out at The Travelers Championship when you introduce yourself to the golfers is it Rob Robert what do you call yourself Bobby oh well it’s not like I’m meeting a bunch of the golfers regularly but no just Hardy and I think that’s how the the pr people when they you did the same thing at the Deutsche Bank when they bring you over this is Fred uh this is Hardy you know they’re going to be sitting down to you for a few minutes so no it’s just Hardy yeah all right I mean I thought you would want to get them to know a more intimate level but apparently we’re just going to keep oh we Fred we’ll get there eventually but in the initial me eat and greet you know we keep it casual and and professional will you slide into their DMS uh afterwards like after I have with uh with uh one Brendan steel who spent years on the PGA tour but uh he reached out to me one time because he heard me on the radio and I uh I reached back out to him and we developed a bit of a uh uh a relationship I wouldn’t call it a friendship but enough to where when he does well in a tournament I’ll shoot him a text and congratulate him sure yeah pen pals all right little bit we’re brought to you by FanDuel sports book make every moment more with FanDuel well after uh you’re done with this Hardy you might need some some intimacy well this is is it intimacy or not Fred because you know you love the word proclivities much like you like social mores and uh other other phrases that seem to I’m blushing you’re showing everyone I’m an intellectual thank you well read but uh Young nich has stumbled upon this and shared it with me I immediately found it intoxicating Mike lockart who is in there in the studio with you I believe I think doesn’t quite feel the same way no so I I’m wondering how you feel just about this subject of cuddling Fred how do you feel when it comes to cuddling I despise it I don’t like it at all I hate it I don’t uh postcoidal cuddling uh after I had sex with someone several times I am not a fan of but I do understand it in intimacy but again like if like I at a certain point it’s like low class it’s like you know the the fat lady and the real small guy at the amusement park rubbing backs like rubbing the big ladies back like in the amusement park line which since I’ve said that I periodically throughout the year get people like dude I was just at you know Cedar Point and there’s just this little dude rubbing this big L’s back like at a certain point I just at a certain point it just is it’s just gross and I think like a little it shows a stressed because she’s never ridden the demon drop before or they’re going trying to keep her calm down or maybe she’s afraid the demon drop’s going to like lose its cable and and somehow they’ll crash to their death there is a some people some people are so into cuddling that that’s all they want and they will actually pay for it now Mike lockart has spent a lot of time going through the I spent a lot of time in my hotel room last night going through the um social media channel of a professional cuddler now Mike you’ve you’ve got some of these things ready to go these are from her Tik Tok she has her own website She’s also on professional professional cuddling organization sites and this is what she offers as a service right lockart yes yes it’s very weird it’s uh I don’t know who who’s doing this but yeah I I and obviously also I I I don’t find this lady very attractive so I don’t understand your whole thing WR so wrong all right so she cuddles men well and women okay but if I’m a man and I’m cuddling with a woman I’m going to get aroused I’m sorry like I’m going to get aroused I mean if if we’re spooning address that in one of the videos I found it to be a little too much for the radio but she said there are boundaries and as long as it doesn’t go beyond that that’s just part of the process Happ massage too no no massage is different does she caress you lightly while holding you maybe we should hear from her because there’s no way you’re not going to get an erection I mean you just are it’s it’s not shocking I mean that’s what happens when females touch heterosexual men like I prefer you didn’t use that word when we’re talking about cuddling Fred it’s just it’s not about that do you understand this is about cuddling this is about a little bit it intimacy nurturing cuddling it’s just cuddling yeah I know but a boner is a boner is a boner it doesn’t really matter how it happens I mean it’s kind of social mores Fred you can’t say that oh Tit for Tat I couldn’t think of anything smart all right here weiv class clandestine is a big word all right here we go how did I get into cuddling it was actually a suggestion from a friend he was like you should be professional cuddler yeah yeah as a suggestion from a friend if you could believe this somebody suggested I’m a cover cuddler and I whatever shut up professionally whatever get you to stop talking sure cuddle away why don’t you bury your uh mouth into my shoulder and I was like LOL that doesn’t exist oh you on Tik Tok did you I know shocking it doesn’t seem like the type of person who does a lot of posting on Tik Tok but I if a hoodie with the Boogie last night or a boogie with the hoodie last night and then one day I was really bored and I looked into it I went to this Rabbit Hole of research about it and I’m like research yes beakers uh bugs and burners she she went to the public she went to the College library and started charts my God this is real and I joined cuddle comfort and I became a pro and with through trial and error I really I don’t know and many messed up [Music] pants I mean trial and error I mean a lot of mistakes LOL OMG that’s not a thing it is a thing cutle comfort.com what’s the word I’m only talking to myself you can’t tell me what the word is perfected my craft I guess those are several words yeah you couldn’t think perfected MRA y [ __ ] I’ve been doing it for a year and a half now it’s been a wild ride but it’s been really good yeah I’m sure it’s been a wild [Music] ride that sounds Pet Sounds just on a loop in that woman’s apartment when she’s doing her cuddle sessions all right so uh we we know that she fell down the rabbit hole of research and she’s been doing it for a year and a half and we we’ve met the woman and uh now it continues how I prepare for a cuddle session first I need first I’m a woman and then I lay down how do I prepare for a cuddle sir I find guys with a lot of childhood drama I I I I’m a even mildly or average attracted looking female I let men know that I’m available for something and I watch my inbox just fill up the phone won’t stop ringing guys who are really afraid to have sex I look for them and then I go I I’ll let you pay me to hold me something that I would pay to not do all right here we go how I prepare for a cuddle session first I need to change to get out of these clothes and into PJs then I have to make my bed and make it look presentable all right these are all things that a a 5-year-old could do but here we go it has to look good and comfortable for the cuddlies that come over that’s true because the guy that’s paying to holds you would be uh really out of sorts if the bed wasn’t made that’s right you mean you don’t just want like a flat piece of plywood and a bunch of uh steel girds oh no you want it to look nice and comfortable I’m going to write the I’m going to write these down in case I want to get into this as a side hust I have a feeling some of these guys would prefer on a bet of nails like I really do like whenever punishes me yes yes can we get as close as possible with no release edging I believe it’s called and by the way uh I’m married if you could have a gentleman come over to pleasure my wife while we’re cuddling every go home and catch the end of that assistant cousin of soaking there’s not this part really needs to be done well because it’s a big part of the very first impression curtains cannot be open too much light will get in so they got to be closed then I changed my default playlist to something more soothing such as light jazz afterwards oh yeah cuz you know rank up the kitty G let’s go you know these guys all have Community jazz shows [Music] yeah if if you go left of the dial like Sunday morning at six o’clock these guys are hey I I prefer some of subr sub genr like acoustic scat singing are you’re saying that uh Dan O Dan O’Brien is a cuddler is this how he’s getting to Hawaii AC capella Scot singing is the best soundtrack for Cuddl afterwards I might light a candle or put some nice scents in my diffuser such as laender or eucalyptus afterwards I light a candle in the bathroom cuz I have to evacuate before I do this and then I will dim the lights to set the tone for the cuddle session and afterwards honestly we’re ready to [Music] go all right she she she can instruct you though Fred has she has ways of mentoring you and uh she offers other services I like to be told what to do I’ll tell you whatever whatever makes things easier do you want a cuddle session but we’re not in the same state well I also offer virtual sessions either audio call or video chat this is just a great way for us to connect with one another and we can talk about anything really oh so you can have phone conversation what what is that different than anything else no phone conversation won’t cost you $120 an hour this one will that’s the difference so it’s phone sex where I can’t play with myself basically hi hi I’d like to pay a really annoying woman to not talk dirty to me how is that possible why don’t you just call the operator just call the library hi hi how are things at the library oh they’re okay call radio station yeah just call radio station going Ryan yeah they sit in a Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot and threaten the staff like Hardy’s friend did to me goals that you have things that you’re struggling with things in your mind that you really want to talk through yeah don’t go to a professional therapist that has the schooling just go to this [ __ ] that is a lightweight a prostitute light it really is a great therapy session and it can be 30 minutes an hour longer I’m here to work with you I’m thinking about killing myself what do you say ah do it live your life cuddle do what you want I mean I can’t I’m not there so I can’t cuddle you so I mean really what what should what should I tell you Fred uh would you care to guess where this woman is uh based what city I will give you a hint it is one of your least favorite parts of the country Phoenix no uh South uh closer closer to Boston though South closer to Boston what am I so further east south but east Southeast Miami oh oh Charlotte uh Wall’s got the right State Tempa she is in Tampa if this sounds like something you’re really interested in you can DM me here or find me under cuddle Comfort under the username cuddle Crasher so you don’t even cuddle you just talk on the phone with people and well sometimes and finally what is this Hardy uh I I believe this is another uh service that she offers all right thank you I don’t know why I’m not getting any cuddlers I have the perfect profile oh my God she’s got production elements in these videos that’s every guy who hears her voice is groin that’s when they walk in the room and see her for the first time [Music] it’s Bill B’s girlfriend’s parents oh my I wish you could see her acting this out too as she’s pacing back and forth in her one bedroom uh mimicking somebody who is trying to be a professional cuddler but not having any success it was she’s an she’s she’s an actress is what she is yeah it was when uh Nick applied to the his first college and they open up the [Music] transcript oh my God I’m so nervous I don’t know what I’m doing ooh she’s a really good actress okay can cuddle me now so the cuddler just messaged me and he wants to do a session at 2: a.m. and for me to pick him up I mean he’s 12 I guess so why not yeah there’s no chance he kills you this is a montage of issues that could that could face a firsttime professional cuddler Fred now why don’t you let her work her magic now she’s painted several pictures for us and now I believe she’s going to provide Solutions are you wanting to be a pro cuddler well one of the biggest questions that I get asked is how do I get into this well after doing this for quite some time I’m now offering a virtual mentorship session you just wait for sex offenders to get out of jail get a nice list and find the release dates and stand outside the prison maybe you guys missed my earlier Tik Tok but I’ve been doing this for almost 18 months so now I’m ready to Mentor where it’s one onone you and me and I will teach you all about the ins and outs of the professional cuddling worlds and how to be a successful cuddle Pro in that one-on-one session I will help you learn how to build a an inviting profile how to go into a cuddle session confidently how to message the cuddlers ETC things like that I am going to start doing live streams every Sunday starting June 23rd at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time it is going to be a live virtual cuddle session so join me ask all your cuddle cues and literally whatever else you want see you there I will be there two two days from now happy together we wouldn’t it be she talks about everything but the actual service of cuddling the guy I mean like yeah well uh Believe It or Not uh those uh videos are not all that interesting she talks about cuddling positions and believe it or not there things like on your back on your side but okay what else and the the one that was actually a little too blue to talk about on the radio what happens when someone does get aroused well I can tell you what happens this is what their pants say does she have a video about escaping a trunk exactly exactly I found good question you have to look for the handle inside the trunk you can also punch out the tail light and stick your hand out to let motorists who are behind you know that you’re inside always keep a cell phone hidden so you can call from inside the truck and cuz your cell phone has a tracking beam you guys you need to work on your Kicking and Screaming okay all right uh very good thank you I’m I’m never I you know and I go I never it would never surprise me what guys are into but I don’t I don’t think she gets business I’m guessing that that she seemed to offer an awful lot of services she well for being added for 18 months and it’s like I gotta Branch this thing out I’m not I can’t pay the rent I got to go virtual I got to go mentoring I got to do all kinds of other stuff cuz this ain’t paying the bills yeah you would think that you would be pretty kneed deep in dudes like you know like it it doesn’t sound like that’s the case all right thank you Hardy uh we got Dan roach oh that’s not right this is Dan roach when he goes to play to catch with his [Music] dad Dan roach in the graveyard you’re not going to play the shter for that one all right all right thank you no no no I want to keep talking sex Fred oh oh where is he is is where how did he just come on oh that was a clip okay I was like wow that that sounds like something he’d say all right very good we’ll we’ll be back in just a moment [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] fa [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] found those and sent it me to me this morning so yeah those are that’s a pick with me and red hour back and Jeff twist the pr longtime PR guy here with the Celtics set it up for me uh and he brought me into Red’s office and red was smoking a cigar and it was like one of the greatest uh opportunities for me to be able to talk to Red hour back and to be honest with you Fred I don’t even remember what the heck I asked him it was just more of having the opportunity to sit down with him and chat for about 15 20 minutes to play back on at bz radio uh years and years and years ago so it was a highlight for me right up there with interviewing Ted Williams uh you know those kind of guys that you uh you know you hear so much about know so much about uh but having the opportunity to talk to him was a thrill for me so yeah I posted that this morning because my wife sent to me and I’m like that was kind of cool you know what I mean but yeah my sweater is ugly and I’m very youngl looking but I do have gray hair I had gray hair back in high school so it’s been been a while but you kept it and it’s a beautiful head of it so when you’re talking to those to a guy like arbach how how you’ve been around Boston sports for so long so it’s a time to reflect right because uh you know it it’s a victory parade today in an 18th championship and a A team’s got more Championship than anyone else unless you want to cheat and count the Minneapolis Lakers which have have no affiliation with the uh with the Los Angeles yeah they have 12 in LA and five in Minneapolis and those were before people could walk really and so uh what what how when when arug was in in charge and you know into now things have how much have things changed I mean it’s a it’s a totally different situation I know they practiced in a dump in Bri in Brighton helenic College helenic college and you know arbach was the The Man about town like how much have things changed well yeah Fred back then I was I was working for Kurt G’s radio stations uh up in Lawrence uh and I was able to go to a lot of these different games and events and things like that and I remember going to helenic college and it was so casual you know what I mean they’d be sitting I remember Kevin mccale and you know bird and those guys just sitting on the like kind of the remember like at the Catholic schools the the the old gymnasiums where it was the cafeteria as well and there was no room to play basketball in if you once you once you put the ball up and in it was a stage yeah I’ve been to Helen College I just real quickly I and then I want you to tell your story I my son had a camp at helenic college and I went why the hell was there a camp here it’s a dump I came on the air next day and said I was my some was at a school in Brighton it’s a dump and then uh John said that’s weird the Celtics used to practice around there and I go what was it he goes helenic College I go that’s where my son was so I know for people who don’t know you go Fred oh you’re so cynical and you’re such an a-hole which is all true but I’m telling you helenic College if your kid was playing basketball with there there’s St on one side of the gym there’s a legit stage where you’d put on a play on one side of the gym yes and and that’s that’s the atmosphere that’s what I what I said so I I was lucky enough to start right while I was going to Syracuse at this radio station in Lawrence that Kirk outy owned forever and that was like in the mid 80s right around 83 84 so I would just go in with my you know radio my tape recorder and my my mic and that and you’d be able to talk to anybody and I you know I was in the locker room after they beat the Houston roets to win an NBA championship and you’re Larry Bird and all those guys it was so there were so fewer media back then that it was much more accessible easy those guys were just easy to talk to they were fun so yeah all those guys it was just like a thrill for me to be able to do that talk to a guy like that and then years later set up something with Ted Williams on the radio sounded like I was interviewing John Wayne the old actor because of his uh his his you know just his booming voice and things like that so those are the things that you look back on and remember and now with my wife sending that I looked back on this and said you know I think this is my 13th parade somewhere around there uh covering maybe more but it’s like uh one of those things you don’t take for granted when you step out here so you can feel the atmosphere you can feel the electricity as these guys ready to step on duckboats and the coolest thing for me in these situations is uh you have no idea none of these players have any idea you guys know this what it’s like to go through the city in a duck boat on a parade and they you can say it to someone you can talk about it you know I had the privilege of being on with uh uh kapler Trot Nixon veritech and mirab belly in the 2004 parade being on a boat with them being in the water and just seeing thousands of thousands of people on the Charles and when you say to them what do you think oh it’ll be fun blah blah blah when they come back from it they’re like holy smokes it sets in like it really sets in that you want a world championship which is is going to be cool for this group to watch do that so looking forward to that today yeah it’s amazing and they asked me for because they were doing 15th anniversary of the sports sub interviews and they’re like what was the biggest thing at the sports club and I say being the two I had no business being in it and the only reason I was in it is the station had a couple slots and management was cool enough to put me on it but I was in the 2011 parade and and and even though no one was there to see me I mean just I mean that that parade was insane that that was over well over a million people and I have video of it and I showed it to my daughter and she was not impressed at all and I said what did you think this was going to look like how could this have been better for you Zoe like like like what what would it take to make an impression on you one way or the other your dad on a duck booat going through the streets of downtown Boston in front of millions of people and them losing their minds she doesn’t move the needle she goes are you going to go to the Celtics parade I go no and she goes uh mom asked me if I wanted to go but I don’t want to go and I go and she goes were you ever in one and she asked and I said I was in one and I go it was awesome and I’m like do you want to see a video of it I two I just go 2011 on my phone I have videos of it and there’s a video already of me pan it’s not even I’m like I’m not showing my face in it like an a-hole but I’m like panning around the the crowd and I’m telling you not exaggerating 40 deep on the street and she’s like yeah she like took her eyes off the phone it’s a Well 30 second video like like you can’t what what did you think you you asked to see it what what did you think it was going to look like my goodness I’m with you though I told Forestburg the same thing and I’m a very I people I’m being serious it’s a it’s a tremendous experience and and for even players who play in arenas and stadiums it’s still insane the city closed down for you you know 30 people deep for a mile it’s crazy and I think see of people everywhere friend and the cool thing I remember coming out of Fenway Park on that duckboat is exactly uh Joe Giza found an old tape that I I had shot by myself uh video and being on the duck boat and the first thing you see is two guys just as you enter the street as you come through Fenway Park and out to the street there’s one guy standing there and say yelling at Trot saying now I can die in peace now I can die in peace and it’s like show that to his kids try show that to to his kids who are both playing or played in The College World Series this year with NC State but he showed them to his kids and these kids were like yeah oh that’s great that’s really cool you know what I mean it’s just like that same type of reaction but you don’t understand that and the cool thing though that if you want to take the the other side of this too is there’s a lot of kids growing up here that yes it’s only been six years or whatever since the parade but they’ll experience they’ll get a feeling in this city if if they go to the parade what it’s like to win a world champion ship in this city so at least for a lot of them people that are in high school now and maybe college that they get to experience that which is kind of cool today as well so Dan I I wanted to tell you this because I know you question my parenting uh skills because I’ve never taken my kids to Disney but uh my daughter uh just last night informed us she wanted to go to the parade and my wife and I talked about it we’re like H back and forth cuz she also wanted to go to the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Southie we’re like no you’re not doing that no yeah we’ll be we’ll be the mean parents that say no but for this one I was on her side I’m like yeah I think you should go it’s an experience you and your friends should be able to experience this today and I I supported her in that endeavor and I think you would approve of that Dan well the other thing that I proved up too to hear you say Hardy now you know why I I do and why I love what I do even more so is the way you talked about your friend’s your best friend’s uh son winning a high school state championship and how cool it was out in Michigan that’s what I love I mean it still comes down to the games right people say oh you know what do you love about your job it’s the games watching the games and watching the emotion and watching the the feeling you know being in Dallas seeing the Celtics get blown out and everyone start to question them back the other way after so many impressive outings that they had and then being here when they won the World Championship even on the high school level I still think it’s cool to watch the kids experience that or college in the in the bean pot and things like that that’s what I love I love the games and that’s that’s why I continue to do what I do and and love with a passion what I do because you get events you get things like that in the emotion and to hear you say that about your friend uh playing at Michigan State or what have you uh was really really cool uh all right what what’s going on down there where are you camped out and and is it getting crowded what’s going on I have the

did tag Summer’s Eve in it so I do have that going for me so uh if you want to see that that’s up it is it is cool it is cool to be out there and so if you’re going out to the parade you’re going to enjoy it uh Nicholas hello oh Nicholas how long did it take you to walk to your location now how long it’s a it’s a lot uh uh more tougher to get around the down here starting to really fill up it’s starting to really fill up it is filling up uh where are you stationed now uh right actually uh I I popped into uh hurricanes uh for a quick second uh so I’m I’m out right outside hurricanes right now but I was uh out closer to uh the TD Garden interviewing a few people and uh yeah like I said it’s starting to really fill up you’re starting to see a lot more people walking to the uh parade uh route and uh yeah when you were in hurricanes were there a lot of people drinking yeah they just opened the doors a couple of uh like 30 minutes ago or something because that’s a power move 800 a.m. right when the bar opens I mean that’s when you got to get there and that’s where the the true Legends those are guys with a plan those are people with a plan this is this is how I’m going to spend my day I’m not going to remember much unless you unless you have some sort of amphetamine I got news for you you’re going to be out in this sun and that and that alcohol this early you’re going to be out early but uh listen you get your hands on some kind of amphetamine do the amphetamines help with the dehydration Fred no no no no no you’re putting yourself in some heart risk but uh nonetheless as you know Hardy that can get you you can get you going again I mean there’s no have you ever met someone who did cocaine exclusively so they could drink drink more that that I have they were just like oh it’s great I can keep going later into n you’re like all right that’s fantastic yeah I mean it’s uh probably not the best idea but I I I it works I mean that they’re not wrong about the about the cause and effect you can do way more damage to your body congratulations you you stood up much longer no I understand none of this idea I’m good idea I’m being factious but the crowds are growing uh what is the demographics uh Nicholas uh for instance are how many uh kids in their strange fathers are around a lot of kids yes I’m seeing a lot of kids but there there’s a whole bunch of people like different demographics but I just ran into uh La he brought his son down here uh so there’s a lot of parents with uh a lot of their kids and uh but there’s a a lot of people looking to have a good time today okay and uh so it’s it’s it’s mostly parents with their kids right now or is it like a do you is it like a rowdy crowd or what’s going on parts parts of the crowd are uh somewhat prowdy yes okay some not so much are you expecting uh great displays of Destruction today Nicholas I I hope not well I would hope not too but you know weird things have happen so I guess we’ll see but I I’m going to I’m going to say no okay yeah because Hardy and I were around in 1984 for that Tigers celebration did they have a parade going happen did they even have a parade Hardy there’s no way right I no I think maybe they did I don’t even know if they did a rally downtown yeah I’m not positive that they could have done that no because because the the the the riots and everything happened immediately after they won so they probably just barricaded the city for like a week afterward and didn’t allow anyone in or out it was like Escape From New York yeah uh yeah they did have a parade wow wow they did and then according to V Detroit it was a high point for the history of Detroit yeah as they how nice had to avoid all the ruins of the of the burnt down buildings that existed some futuristic scene where the car hollowed out cars are still burning you know who didn’t take them through the cast corridors so they were probably okay you know who who hosted the r if I could if you had to guess Bobby higginson he was a young man who hosted the rally was it uh uh uh what was the was it a news anchor no but it was someone not in sports you are correct they were in broadcasting Arthur P no that’s not a good you’re you’re getting even warmer JP McCarthy that’s even a better guest Man by named dick Pon uh that’s that’s why I got in the radio for who that Dicky P he had a big old mustache and he was on a boring show but he was famous famous famous famous famous famous he had a glasses and a mustache he looked like a Groucho marks and it was not it was not a boring show it was uh peron’s people dick peron’s people that was the show yeah I never cared for it you big fan of his yeah that’s what we listen to in my house we listen to it all the time you listen to JJ in the morning crew get out of here no I didn’t yeah you did all right uh well thank you Nicholas uh keep out there let keep us up to date to what’s going on all right absolutely see you guys all right bye-bye Nicholas you know what that amphetamine and the drinking thing reminded me of Fred Lenny Clark once told me that back when he was out there up to his Shenanigans uh they used to uh for a night cap he used to mix himself up a cocktail of whiskey and NyQuil because it had the Dual benefit of put helping him to go to sleep and also acted as a congestant from all the booger sugar he had been doing throughout the night and not only was I not shocked by it I was a little bit jealous that I didn’t know that trick and think of it myself 25 years ago what a great idea I always just think it’s interesting though that nightquil would have any effect if on anyone that’s been doing those kinds of pharmaceutical like that that those kinds of putting those kinds of drugs into your system that an over the counter drug but then again we’ve talked to people in the military that were doing night watches and they was just chug nqu or robotos and then have very very bad experiences all right Cedric Maxwell had a great experience he is not going to be part of the parade though he is doing work today and he will join us in just a moment to give his thoughts on this wonderful Championship teamer

and everything else because at that age I can only assume you only know the recent history you don’t know 1960s Celtics and what that means so how long does it take you to understand the totality of it all it I would say just throughout That season I had no idea who Cedric Maxwell was I thought he was just like a radio guy I didn’t know that he played on the team and he won finals MVP uh so there were just different instances throughout the season my rookie year uh where I would learn about um different people that um play the intricate part in this organization um the history throughout the Celtics and um you know what the Celtics mean to the game of basketball hey we’re toucher and Hardy I don’t think there’s any danger of ever hearing the phrase detective Tatum as Cedric Maxwell’s the 69 dude yeah calling the uh basketball games perhaps he does have a background in that field Cedric Maxwell is the Celtics color analyst on the 985 the sports sub Celtics Radio Network and Max is

women getting so exced from John seeing John can you imagine the baby’s born today max if John was on a was on a duck sir you know when you say that there’s a great story that comes along with that uh it it had to be 25 years ago when they tore down the old garden and uh they had all this paraphernalia and they had these you know fans came in so you could sign stuff and this lady she comes up to me she has two chairs and uh two just these chairs that were in the Gard Garden I was like okay she said these chairs are very special I was like okay well how special are they she says well uh my children were conceived in these chairs really wait really at the Garden like in the chair at the Garden at the Garden at the Garden at a at and she you know she got a little bit Bolder she said at a rock concert I’m like you white people y’all do some some crazy stuff yeah yeah sir yeah no no black people have ever had public inter course you’re right s not in the garden I can tell you that not in the garden I can tell you that for real quick sec championship game I’m working in a bar right next to the Georgia Dome where the game’s being held we had stairs inside the restaurant it’s inside the restaurant it leads to another dining area there’s a bunch of people sitting drinking on the stairs we noticed there’s a woman sitting on her boyfriend’s lap or the guy she’s with lap facing it then someone goes look closer we look and his pants are around his knees and her dress is hiked up they’re whoa effing at two in the afternoon in our restaurant and it was fantastic and no one made him stop let me ask you this were they white or were they black they were white but I was in Atlanta so you didn’t know that for a fact you prove my point you didn’t know that for a fact thank you coming to my house we we are privileged here you know we are privileged Grandy here yeah yeah I’m seeing Mr Grandy standing in front of me now with his family and uh is he retiring uh that I don’t know that’s not you know I can’t do that breaking Jay what are you doing I’m thinking all these people who never have on you know shorts are actually here in the building right now okay all right so you when people were complaining about uh the Celtics when you look at this team I it’s trit but you you know you’re a Finals MVP you are a guy that’s won here your numbers retired when you look at this team do you see like a dynasty do you see one of the great Celtics teams of all time if this team is healthy they can make some moves they can they can do some some special stuff uh you know what I love about this team there are no that does not seem to be any egos everybody’s put that to the side Kum and brown you’re two leaders they love each other love playing with each other the uh the starting five or the starting seven are already intact and so all you’re looking now is to bring on other players other people and I think that happens easily especially if people are thinking right now about winning a championship it might be some guys who’s like oh if I could just be with this team well I think the Celtics will be able to add on but they already have a solid eight so now I think they’re just going to maybe look at some some more people and if porzingis comes back he’s healthy I think that’s a whole another ball of wax Max I I want to know about your parade that you’ve been involved with in the early 80s how different was it then than it is now uh the first parade in 1981 that was really cool it was really cool uh because you know was obviously uh my first championship Larry’s first championship uh your boy was the finals MVP it was it was really cool being the crowd we’re at City Hall Larry says something about Moses Malone and he eats what something some cow cow manure so it was really cool the second one in 1984 I didn’t go to the parade I wasn’t on the duck boo I was a free agent that year and I was actually getting married four days later so I was in the barber shop looking at the parade do you regret that do you regret that looking back no uh what what that what did that Miss okay but I I missed if you went to if you been to one parade another parade isn’t necessarily you know all these people screaming and yelling and all that stuff I mean the first one was cool I had a great time but after that it’s like H but you know winning a championship is ultimately at the end of the day that’s what that’s What Makes You Happy Well Max I I would also think because I was going to ask uh essentially the same thing but in a different way if there was a difference in the feeling of being a part of that number one as an MVP because it wouldn’t take me much to convince myself that all those people are just cheering for me I mean I was the MVP of that series and this this parade is really uh as as much about me as it is for the team I wonder what it would be like to be on the other side of that if you’re uh you know a bench player or like a role player if there’s like I’m sure you’re still having a good time and celebrating but the the the what you take away from it has to be something different well I think it it’s different for everybody but I love the way Brian scalabrini said this is the one time I will quote him as when he said look when I came to he came to the podium after after the championship game they won won an’ 08 he people like what are you doing here he said you know five years from now I would have scored 10 points 15 years from now I would been the finals MVP so you just embrace it and the fact that nobody that very few people are able to do that that’s what makes that’s what makes it so beautiful the fact that you were able to do something that most people weren’t able to do and that’s that’s the the beauty of winning a championship and winning it here in Boston I’m just sitting up here looking now and and just it’s so surreal uh 2024 World Champions and you know all the stuff that comes along with it I was on TMZ the other day and I was so what were you what were you there for I fun of Bill W after he died all right what what what what did you get on TMC for no TMC had me on and they wanted me actually to Heckle the Lakers I think you guys probably saw me after the game I was uh I was uh Michael wilborne was doing a uh a live hit from uh for sports center and I ran up behind him I’m like how about them damn Lakers how about them damn Celtics and then I went from there I said byebye Lakers and then so they had me on and you know they talked about Michael Thompson and all these people their articles been written about the older players the hatred Magic Johnson coming out saying oh you guys you got got another Banner you you’re on top of us so it’s just just the the craziness of it the beauty of it uh just to antagonize the Laker fans this is this is absolutely wonderful for me yeah I do really respect a lot of things about you but I really do respect that you still are like it still matters to you that like you still like those guys that heckers team no it’s not necessarily that it’s what you like about me is the fact I’m like you and the fact that I will hecko people when I’m on top I’m a I’m a great winner I’m a great damn winner I’m a pretty good loser but I am a damn great winner so if I get a chance to stomp on your head especially if you’re a Laker Michael Thompson a magic or whoever it is but I did say this on TMZ I said but they said you guys have 18 banners the Lakers have 17 I said oh hold on a minute they have that midseason Championship so they actually have 18 and that guy just busted out laughing so it is a it’s a beautiful thing to be in green today the beautiful St beautiful thing to be on you guys uh you know your St our station today and uh I was just thankful to get in here because the GU outside the garden is crazy really oh yeah they’re they’re freaking out they’re they’re they’re very concerned about security and they couldn’t and they were like Jason Tatum they had no idea that you were part of any of this here’s what I love about all this they said that the police said that they’re going to stop people from drinking today oh my God yeah good a million people good luck luck okay I’m like anher bush is going this is what I’m talking about in Boston today is 80 something degrees this is going to be crazy it’s going to be awesome well Cedric listen enjoy yourself uh have fun with all the press and media and have fun making that money I I appreciate will okay have a good one thank you Cedric we appreciate it uh and and the funny thing is with Max he was like talking about how was the white people having sex only white people and then it occurred to me it wasn’t worth bringing up freaknick black spring break in Atlanta oh what is that like outdoor sex is that all that is how about in the middle of I75 not in a car in the middle of I75 that’s a six Lane highway right yes a interstate highway you say Fred what are you talking about well there’s a documentary now on Hulu I believe I haven’t seen it yet but it was awesome it was kind of great it was black Springs break in freaknick and uh college kids would come down and instead of like going to the beach or something they’re in Atlanta so they would there were so many of them and there was nothing anyone could do that they would go legit in the middle of the city I75 runs through Atlanta Park a bunch of cars set up grills start playing music and just party in the middle of I75 shut the city down having sex everything else everything everyone else does in spring break on the beach in in Lake Hab whereever Atlanta they did in downtown Atlanta Interstate 75 swear to God it’s a fact it’s a fact it’s I’m I mean it’s a fact I know it’s a fact I saw it and I worked at a bar during that time in midtown Atlanta uh and no fun and I told you that’s where I saw uh the big kid from Michigan State the basketball player that went pro he was so high he ordered the menu and then they just got up and left all right very good uh it’s a very bold move for the first person to stop their car on I75 and start setting up the party because after you get you know a couple few dozen cars stopped then you realize there’s a shutdown and people are going to slow down to be the first two or three though that’s bold I think it’s more like a convoy was going down the road and then with the intention of St I don’t think you quite understand the the city the Takeover of the city it was it was something to behold I have a bunch of pictures of it if you ever come back to the if I ever ever you come over to do some work at the condo okay yeah that’d be good you have a little photo album oh yeah I got got a bunch of stuff for freaknick when I was a young man oh you know what I saw it in your scrapbooking room uh it was closed though so I didn’t see any of the photos inside but thank yeah don’t when they’re not finished project I would appreciate if you didn’t look at them because that’s where where did you get those dispenser rolls for your wrapping paper that because those look professional grade but very very nice looking in the home as well yeah I know a guy at Party City and a guy at HomeGoods and I kind of put the brains together and made it happen yeah yeah yeah you you bring in somebody from California closets and then ties ties everything I’m divorced I don’t have that kind of money all right uh listen Hardy’s over there at The Travelers Championship thank God and we will continue I have some uh emails for the people to uh that I can read from the people and also young Nicholas sweet sweet young Nicholas who’s at the parade will check in with us again stay tuned for more tcher and Hardy [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh hey we are toucher in Hardy it is time for the email bit we’ll check in with Nicholas he’s been talking the people down at the parade as Hardy is at The Travelers Championship as you can tell from all the the people that have been coming uh in and out of his tent uh is it lonely there uh no not at all we got a a nice little setup here uh we are also next to the uh uh the tent set up for the Barbados tourism board and uh I checked them at those people yesterday because I I went to Barbados once on a on a work trip and only got a chance to like kind of visit the golf courses there didn’t get a chance to play but now I want to go back so yeah this is nice little set we got a concession stand right across us Howie went over there like three times already I was about to say what’s up Howie my man hoe there he is Freddy how are you Howe uh was did is a great man Howe when we first started at the 985 the sportsub I I was like we are going to fail and howwi he said it’s what are you talking about you sound fine you know as much as anyone else and I said oh this is Howe who’s been for a long time and I went all right Howie my main man Howie you’re fortunate to be out there with him Hardy uh all right here we go so hardy uh is very annoyed by Kendra it’s not an act it’s real he yells and screams he’s always in a bad mood uh it’s it’s great that Hardy’s on this show now because people are starting to finally understand how misunderstood I am and what a great person I am because we finally have true evil on this show it says Fred I want to say at the start that I am a member uh of what should be the largest group of fan of both Kendra and Hardy her segment is always wonderful what she brings to table but has become one of my favorite hours of the week on the account of what she does to Hardy it truly activates the theater of the mind when she screams something like go off King in the silence that follows you can practically see Hardy spirit leaving his body every time she greets him with her unique pronun iation of Hardy it I imagine him forcing a smile while his eye twitches his brain aches at the thought of what he what he’s about to endure again he clearly doesn’t hate her I even think he would help her with a move if she needed help with the furniture though he would complain about it endlessly does he like her no not in the slightest if flying to the super B sitting next to Kendra Hardly Hardy would probably opt to take another ride on the bus that bus and yet he tolerates her keeping his composure until he just can’t take it anymore both people in this situation are relatable there’s hardly a man trapped in a room with someone against his will because she is a friend of his good friend and there is Kendra a woman who like we all have at some point must ask herself I’m trying so hard to be nice so why does he still hate me as much as I would like this uh like this for this bit to happen for them to bond there’s something magical perhaps even inspiring about their transparent lack of friendship no chemistry no drama no problem we won’t be friends with every person in our lives but maybe just maybe we can strive for what Hardy and Kendra have is it weird yes uncomfortable without a doubt but it is civil love the show Christian I that that SP Sparks a good question Hardy if Kendra actually contacted you in some way and asked you to help her with a move or to fix something in her apartment would you do that yeah that that would be too much for me to bear I I I would give into that Temptation if I if it it could involve any any type of home improvement project yes that I would do but the the notion of being friends with someone in their 20s I mean doesn’t that doesn’t that just seem a little silly I’m friends begin with Fred I’m friends with her yeah and it seems silly yeah that’s proven my point why does it seem silly that Fred is friendly or friends with Kendra because uh they have nothing in common how do you know and I feel like I have something in common with her you have something in common with Kendra that you both talk on the radio there’s yeah we’re in the same business that’s one thing sort of I mean I’m a a huge success and I these things from our past same books do you oh yes indeed she’s reading the Katherine Hannah book right now all right do you remember this clip gentlemen be be be uh no what is that that is a woman that you know very well that Nick talked to after the Celtics won well Matt says beers beers beers in later CBS for a plan B Be [Music] Be why not he’s saying that she’s getting let me see here oh this didn’t trans I have I have I have an email for okay good go ahead uh again about the proposal this this proposal you have about the bet between me and Kendra and whoever loses who has to do what um this person says I was listening and heard Fred make the dumbest bet proposal between you and Kendra I’m sure you would agree winning the BET and having to spend two hours with Kendra isn’t really winning he makes a point here because whether I win or lose I still have to spend time with Kendra so uh what this person proposes is a bet between you and Fred if you lose the bad heart party you have to spend two hours with Kendra doing whatever annoying thing you and Fred decide on how do I know it’s going to be annoying Kendra will be there and if Fred loses he has to get an online cuddle session with that chick you had on earlier enjoy the tournament long live the Golf Show that’s from Keith all right I know you read that it was that last sentence there uh here is one uh from Chris Fred unless something sport Golf Club Sunday morning 7: a.m. Fred unless something has radically changed with a boogie with the hoodie performance over the last eight years it’ll likely end up being even worse than you imagined I saw a boogie with the hoodie this is what I got yesterday at 12 this was from yesterday I saw a boogie with the hoodie open up for school boy Q and L back in September of 16 I’ll preface this by saying I am a fan of modern hip hop and have seen a good amount of the biggest names Travis Scott future 21 Savage Young Thug Gunna Etc in the Trap scene perform a boogie with the hoodie is easily among if not the single worst of the bunch he literally just ran around the stage and yelled as to try to get the crowd hyped up while each track played in the background before walking off after five or six songs seeing this routin for about 20 minutes was bad enough seeing it stretched out for a headline set length would have been damn near torture good luck tonight and I look forward to hearing about your experience on the air well Chris him headlining and basically selling out the garden did not change the thing he just played a track of the songs while he ran around not even per Performing he he he sort of ran around he smoked a joint at one point which I’m like this is all legal now this like you smoking a joint big deal who cares um do you know how he got the name a boogie with hoodie yeah I know because it’s some movie yeah paid in full which we’re all big fans of if you didn’t think that I you know Wikipedia the man before the show you have another thing coming uh I I do want to did you find that clip or no we don’t you do have it oh look at you uh uh yeah go ahead and play it all this clip you remember this clip oh how could I forget H in the bar in the evening on a Thursday night a little lighter shining off the par lets me know everything’s all right [Music] and then someone texted timma says uh 18 do you think when Bill bich hears this his uh mind his mind goes crazy boy I am seeing more and more photos more and more articles being posted um and boy across the board support for both of these people in this relationship everyone thinks it’s a great idea which is nice to see sure I just don’t get why her if you’re going to go all in on this thing now that I’ve seen more just like like I said Hardy if I got off a boat in then Tucket and it’s a 70-year-old a rich 70y old with a 24 year old lady you’d know everyone within 50 feet would go oh my God why is she on N Tucket and I would be like yep here we go like like there would be no like debate if it was wrong or not it would be like and not cuz she looked young because she would look like a like a a fantasy of a Sci-Fi nerd from like 1984 she would look like a cartoon you know what I’m she you know she she look like Victoria Silver stud in like full gown and if you’re wondering about her uh capabilties and faculties uh that would be answered too cuz you’d be jingling shiny objects in front of her face to keep her moving and walking forward yeah she would she would already be in the beginning and you would be aware of that as well it would be like Kanye and his uh his lovely bride did you see what she was wearing at that parents passion week yes yes I did H mie I even like I I don’t think it was the case for but when we saw that photo yesterday and there was another kind of older not as old as bich maybe 20 30 years younger than bich walking appeared to be close to them um and I don’t think it was but I do like the idea that that was her father when I first saw it I just assumed it was her father cuz in that photo they look exactly the same like her and the guy looked the same yep yeah it was like a Priscilla Presley situation where there had to be an escort there for the first couple of meetups and the first couple of trips yeah I’ve seen that Priscilla Presley movie and I always put myself in that position if like Elvis came after my daughter and was like that polite to me and my daughter wanted to go out with him so badly like what I would do that that Dad was put in a real pickle I’ll tell you that really because I mean he had everyone full court pressing him on that thing you know what I’m saying yeah very difficult to to navigate that all right anyone else got anything or should I go to break you should go to break all right of course John doesn’t have anything J N 985 sports.com nothing for you Hardy at 985 to sports.com you can email toucher 985th sports.com you can follow the show at toucher and Hardy on Instagram and Twitter if you’re still on Twitter and you can follow me at Fred touger on Instagram I I do have one more Fred okay go ahead well it’s a it is a Travelers Championship related email asking about Michael Tor bjornson who is a a Wellsley uh high school graduate uh he is making his Pro debut here at The Travelers we were going to get him on the show they moved up the tea times today because of the thunderstorms coming in later so he had to tee off at n or he’s teeing off at 9:50 uh originally when he was going to go at 1050 we were going to have him on the show but unfortunately that fell through but we did try and get Michael on the show and I know people I disappointment I can sense it um it’s my are you saying that to the benefit of for the benefit of someone standing near you no no no no I’m saying you glad we delayed going to break for this I’m saying it for the audience members who felt slighted and somehow hurt that we didn’t have Michael Tor bson on I’m saying we tried but they moved up his tea time so no so no one from the tournament is listening to you right now no okay I assure you we were not going to have show I I take that back I take that back they’ve all been walking around listening they were listening at 6:00 a.m. and they came over to apologize for the leaf blower so they are listening okay but uh yeah we’re still going to try and get them for don’t don’t you worry for the Golf Show on Sunday yeah that was what was going to happen everyone so everyone can relax you canar him on the Golf Show he was never going to be on this show you know what you’re you’re not the boss of Michael Tor bjornson no no but but but there this is at least a democracy and I think that it would have been a solid 51 no having this guy on all right very good uh young Nichol I think we should vote secret ballot so no one I don’t want anyone intimidated by you Fred secret ballot vote we’ll do it during the break if anyone was going to be the Intimidator I

friendly family family friendly family friendly all right how you feeling I’m here with trigger Bean with no government sorry two hours baby all right so I was in a uber yesterday going this is true I should have said with this guy you shared one no this is why I remember remember it so I’m in an Uber with my daughter her friend and me they’re in seventh grade they go where he goes the the driver is like an older guy he’s older than me he’s like probably late 50s but he’s like tatted up and stuff and he goes uh nice guy he goes where you going and I go I’m going to conc he goes you’re going to Fenway I go no I’m going to the Garden he goes oh you’re going to the the a boogie with the hoodie and I go yeah how’d you know that and he goes oh my son he’s he’s a rapper he goes hard though they go oh yeah he goes yeah yeah and he brings up Spotify he plays his kid his kid’s in federal penitentiary for shooting someone okay I’m not sure that was appropriate for the young ladies now he uh now listen I don’t mind the n-word a lot nor uh do I mind uh talking about raping but both those things happened and he played it loud I swear on a stack of Bibles that happened he goes you’re going to oh AB Boogie with the hoodie and he goes yeah he yeah he’s like my son’s rapper and I go oh okay and he goes yeah he’s he’s in federal prison he gets out in two years though so it’s all right I go oh yeah yeah he goes yeah he was like a Revenge thing I go okay and then he goes but he goes hard and I go all right and he goes yeah I’ll play it and he played it off his phone it was on Spotify like the guy’s legit it wasn’t like necessarily bad but it was when he said he goes hard he meant hard subject matter killing raping not Run DMC as opposed to Will Smith hard a different level he wasn’t talking about hard times or spreading like the flu he didn’t say homeboy don’t let him touch you he was I this I can’t believe it took me this long to mention this he was playing at maybe three4 volume from the very top like Moder day like what NWA was in 1988 this is in 2024 God like it couldn’t have been dirtier sir uh I’m happy your son and I’m happy for his imminent release in two short years this is wildly inappropriate for both me and my daughter and her friend I actually like didn’t mind I didn’t like particularly care they were hearing it I mean they were going to this a boogie with the hoodie show anyway like so I knew they were going to hear all these words I was a little surprised the Uber driver comfortable playing it in front of 23-year-old girls I did find that odd and well he’s proud of his he’s proud of his son who was an artist oh he’s very proud of his son and and he didn’t know I was in radio or anything either so I’m not quite sure why he wanted me to hear it in particular but like he played it and it took like 35 minutes to get to the garden and that played for 20 of those minutes like we got through like four or five songs boy there were songs about straight up rape now my my daughter and her friend were not paying attention as they were on their uh own phone like trying to make videos right but uh if I was an Uber driver as much as you might think I’m I I don’t have social awareness I wouldn’t have played that in front of 13-year-old girls I gave him five stars though didn’t tip him gave him five stars though I figured I can’t tip the guy right he played his son’s music in full volume no oh I’d be afraid to give him anything less than five stars I gave him five stars no it’s the extra cash the I I don’t think that deserves a tip no at that point I mean I have to be honest with the man I mean that was highly inappropriate that’s a r that’s a r t let him know wait wait yeah I will let you I will let you know he’s who you who you excited to see today pay PR excited and then I want to see Derek I want say how much for the rest of that too all right these guys are boring hey Nick yeah are you excited you won’t have to get Recaps again for a very very long time I’m uh am pretty excited about it yeah yeah absolutely it’s been a long few weeks yeah you’ve been working hard and now you get to ease off a little bit just concentrate them articles oh yeah I’m gonna be pushing those out so fast do we know how many video how many views Tyler Milan’s cousin uh has on uh on Instagram I feel like it’s 77,000 views oh we’re pretty stalled out oh cuz we were at 60 when we made the pledge well I got a text from Tyler Milan’s cousin uh about an hour ago he said already got some recognition and some audio so he’s down there working it he’s he’s set up on the patio at R Shambo uh with yeah his grandma’s just kicking him in the nuts well yeah I I I told you that a friend of mine offered him a spot there yesterday and he said yes and I I text back yes he would love that for him and his grandma and then Tyler Milan’s cousin immediately said Can my parents come too so that that’s what you really like when someone offers you a really nice reservation you want to double it in size after you accept it and then have to text that person back and say yeah can you actually make that for four and had to you know wait you know watching the dot dot dot bubble on the text screen but yes apparently they all got in and he’s out there you know getting some audio and and getting recognition which is what he really wants
