- 0:33Speaker 1: because what a crazy week it's been. What a crazy
- 0:35Speaker 1: last twenty four hours. It's been joining us now to
- 0:38Speaker 1: provide his insight to Tim Reynolds. He's NBA writer for
- 0:41Speaker 1: the Associated Press. He does this stuff for a living,
- 0:44Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's got a lot of thoughts about
- 0:47Speaker 1: what's been going on in the National Basketball Association. Good morning, Tim, Chuck,
- 0:52Speaker 1: good morning.
- 0:53Speaker 2: How are you?
- 0:53Speaker 1: I'm great. Thanks for being with us. We appreciate it.
- 0:56Speaker 1: By the way, are you prepared We talked about this
- 0:58Speaker 1: in the last segment for how much your life going
- 1:00Speaker 1: to change tomorrow night when Travis and Taylor finally get married.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Are you prepared for how you're going to feel?
- 1:07Speaker 2: You know, while that's happening, I'm actually going to be
- 1:10Speaker 2: covering leon O messi oh here in Miami in the
- 1:14Speaker 2: World Cup, and I am told that Leo wants to
- 1:18Speaker 2: match to stop so we can all celebrate appropriately. I mean,
- 1:23Speaker 2: it is obviously the biggest thing in the history of
- 1:28Speaker 2: in the history of humanity. Yeah, the invention of the wheel.
- 1:32Speaker 2: And how big is the stage of this garden going
- 1:37Speaker 2: to be? The garden that they're building at the Gardens.
- 1:40Speaker 2: I my wedding was I can't speak for everybody else.
- 1:45Speaker 2: My wedding was sixty five people and we thought that
- 1:47Speaker 2: was just about right. So, you know, I wish these
- 1:50Speaker 2: crazy kids, these crazy kids lovet I mean the worst
- 1:53Speaker 2: part about a wedding. And I know we're way off
- 1:54Speaker 2: the path now, but how are they going to go
- 1:57Speaker 2: around to like a thousand tables and thank everybody? They're
- 1:59Speaker 2: going to be there for seven days. I think if
- 2:02Speaker 2: they because you know the reception, you got to go
- 2:03Speaker 2: around thank everybody. How's Travis? Can we get to his prime? Rip?
- 2:07Speaker 2: What's going to happen? There's a lot of details I
- 2:09Speaker 2: need to know, man, I need to know this stuff.
- 2:11Speaker 3: That's literally the only thing I could think of too.
- 2:13Speaker 3: You have a thousand people at your wedding. I could
- 2:14Speaker 3: barely say hi to the people at mine. Most of
- 2:17Speaker 3: them are going to be ignored.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Yeah not right? Yeah, well this we have there's I'm
- 2:25Speaker 2: telling you I think Leo's right. This is Argentina cape
- 2:29Speaker 2: Verde might not be the biggest thing in the world
- 2:31Speaker 2: tom orow night, and that, frankly scares me.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Well, uh, I'll say this about you, that you could
- 2:36Speaker 1: stay focused on your job when all of this is
- 2:38Speaker 1: going on. I'm surprised you didn't call off, didn't tell
- 2:42Speaker 1: your boss I need the night off so that you
- 2:44Speaker 1: could really soak in the experience. From afar h. Tim
- 2:48Speaker 1: Reynolds is with us here. We're going to talk some basketball.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It seems like the entire NBA community is and we're
- 2:56Speaker 1: having sort of Luka Doncic trade shock over how cheap
- 3:01Speaker 1: Jalen Brown came in the division from the Boston Celtics.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Are you in that same community or do you have
- 3:08Speaker 1: a different reaction.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I have just about that reaction. I mean, it's so
- 3:15Speaker 2: clear that one of there can't be anything other than
- 3:20Speaker 2: these two options. One the mandate came down from ownership
- 3:23Speaker 2: that you have to move him, and you have to
- 3:26Speaker 2: move him by this date to allow us to do
- 3:29Speaker 2: other things to build a team. Okay, that's fine. Or
- 3:33Speaker 2: if the relationship between Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum was
- 3:37Speaker 2: just so fractured that Brad Stevens was like, I gotta
- 3:42Speaker 2: do this. I mean, it's not the fact that it
- 3:46Speaker 2: got out that he was the centerpiece of Boston's offer
- 3:53Speaker 2: to Milwaukee for Giannis Jalen. Brown's a proud guy. I mean,
- 3:59Speaker 2: a couple of years from now, I'm sure he'll be
- 4:03Speaker 2: discussed as a candidate for the twenty twenty eight Olympic
- 4:07Speaker 2: team in LA and it's going to be a very
- 4:09Speaker 2: tough sell because he feels like you should have been
- 4:11Speaker 2: on the team in twenty four and when the man
- 4:15Speaker 2: I believe holds a grudge, so I don't know if
- 4:19Speaker 2: you get included in And he's been included in trade
- 4:21Speaker 2: talks before, but not to the level of Jannest So
- 4:25Speaker 2: I was stunned. I mean, Boston and Philly is a
- 4:28Speaker 2: storied rivalries. They have gone head to head. When you
- 4:30Speaker 2: add in playoff games, they've gone head to head like
- 4:33Speaker 2: six hundred times. It's no two teams in the league
- 4:37Speaker 2: have played each other more than Boston and Philly. They
- 4:40Speaker 2: just mean Boston just wasted a three to one lead
- 4:44Speaker 2: in the first round against Philly to end this season.
- 4:48Speaker 2: There's history there. I think they've only made like a
- 4:50Speaker 2: handful of trades and they're all pretty minor stuff. Although
- 4:54Speaker 2: weirdly the draft pick that became Jason Tatum was one
- 4:56Speaker 2: of those trades. But it's stunned me. To do it
- 5:00Speaker 2: in the East, to do it in your division, not
- 5:03Speaker 2: that divisions really matter much anymore against your biggest non
- 5:08Speaker 2: Lakers rival of all time is crazy to me. And
- 5:12Speaker 2: to get to get picks that look, if Philly's good,
- 5:16Speaker 2: those picks aren't going to be worth very much right
- 5:19Speaker 2: and inspiring, Paul George, I just I can't. I'm still
- 5:26Speaker 2: stunned that it went down. And now I'm curious what's
- 5:29Speaker 2: Boston's next move going to be, because as currently constructed,
- 5:35Speaker 2: this ain't it?
- 5:36Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
- 5:37Speaker 1: What about everybody else in the league. I mean they
- 5:40Speaker 1: had to, you know, knock on doors, kick tires. I
- 5:43Speaker 1: mean they had to have been shopping him around aggressively.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I mean that's what we were hearing. How could there
- 5:49Speaker 1: not have been a better offer than that from another team?
- 5:51Speaker 1: I mean, should we? I mean, everybody's flaming shooting, flaming
- 5:55Speaker 1: arrows at the Celtics, and for very good reasons. I'm
- 5:58Speaker 1: with you. I think that they schooled on a trade
- 6:01Speaker 1: inside their own division. But should some criticism be levied
- 6:05Speaker 1: to some other teams across the NBA that might be
- 6:08Speaker 1: a Jalen Brown away from being a championship contender that
- 6:12Speaker 1: didn't come to the table with a better offer than
- 6:15Speaker 1: what Philadelphia gave.
- 6:17Speaker 2: I don't see how it is a baffling part of this.
- 6:21Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, everybody knew Boston was wounded. Everybody knew
- 6:24Speaker 2: Boston was going to have to take cents on the dollar.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Now how many cents? I don't know. Portland, I mean,
- 6:33Speaker 2: everybody had talked about Jalen Brown being on Portland's radar.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Portland has four, count them, four point guards on the
- 6:41Speaker 2: roster right now, and they could play John Moran and
- 6:45Speaker 2: Damian Lillard together. They could where's Drew Holliday and then
- 6:50Speaker 2: where's Scut Henderson followed in next? So it just seems
- 6:54Speaker 2: so obvious that, Okay, Portland's gonna move one of those
- 6:56Speaker 2: point guards, and Boston would love to have Drew Holliday back.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Portland's going to move one of those point guards, and
- 7:02Speaker 2: some draft capitals of Boston. That makes some sense to me,
- 7:07Speaker 2: or give them, you know, it could have been better
- 7:09Speaker 2: than just Paul George. You could have moved Drew and Scoot.
- 7:12Speaker 2: You could have done a lot of different things. Charlotte
- 7:15Speaker 2: was very much in the mix for this. Charles Lee
- 7:19Speaker 2: has familiarity with Jalen Brown from his time as an
- 7:21Speaker 2: assistant up there under Joe Mizzula. Jalen Brown has a
- 7:24Speaker 2: good relationship with Charles Lee. The Hornets keep doing this
- 7:27Speaker 2: one step forward, one step back thing in moves that
- 7:30Speaker 2: they seem to be making this summer. Jalen Brown could
- 7:33Speaker 2: have fit there. So if you were willing to keep
- 7:35Speaker 2: him in the East, why didn't Charlotte come with more
- 7:39Speaker 2: Why didn't Charlotte just say, Okay, we're acquiring nos reed to,
- 7:42Speaker 2: we'll flip him there or whatever. I mean. I think
- 7:44Speaker 2: at this point most basketball fans probably would have been
- 7:47Speaker 2: able to accept nos reed over Paul George as the
- 7:52Speaker 2: guy going to Boston. I'm not knocking Paul George, but yeah,
- 7:55Speaker 2: you know, Nas is younger. Nas might have a bigger
- 7:57Speaker 2: upside at this point, Like even that would have made
- 7:59Speaker 2: more sense. So I'm with you. The machinations on how
- 8:02Speaker 2: this came together, it's a complete head scratcher, and no
- 8:07Speaker 2: matter how you look at.
- 8:08Speaker 1: It, Yeah, Tim Reynolds is with us NBA writer for
- 8:11Speaker 1: the Associated Press, joining us here on Chucking Buck for
- 8:14Speaker 1: the first time. Great to have you with us. And
- 8:17Speaker 1: there are a lot of crazy things that have been happening.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I mean the fortune that Toronto paid for Kawhi Leonard
- 8:24Speaker 1: to bring him back to Toronto. And we talked about
- 8:27Speaker 1: this on the show yesterday, like that's a guy that
- 8:30Speaker 1: I think Tim might roll out of bed at any
- 8:32Speaker 1: given day and just say I'm going to go backpacking
- 8:34Speaker 1: in Luxembourg. And You've got a game tonight, Kawhi. I
- 8:38Speaker 1: don't care to invest that much in a thirty five
- 8:41Speaker 1: year old who really is unpredictable at this stage to
- 8:47Speaker 1: say it, to say it to the least at this
- 8:50Speaker 1: stage in his career also was a bit head scratching
- 8:53Speaker 1: for me. Makes sense of Kawhi to Toronto for that
- 8:56Speaker 1: big of a trade package.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Well, first off, as we all know, very few people
- 9:02Speaker 2: actually go backpacking in Luxembourg. I believe you go spelunky
- 9:06Speaker 2: in Luxembourg.
- 9:07Speaker 1: All right, I stand correct.
- 9:10Speaker 2: And it's a common mistake. Don't worry if everybody said
- 9:16Speaker 2: I think it's twofold. There is still incredible affinity between
- 9:21Speaker 2: Raptors fans and Kawhi Leonards. Even though nobody was very
- 9:24Speaker 2: happy that he left after the one year, you did
- 9:26Speaker 2: the ultimate. You brought the championship to Toronto. You're You're
- 9:31Speaker 2: immortal in Toronto. I mean that's a city that's so
- 9:34Speaker 2: starved for a winner. I mean, it used to be
- 9:36Speaker 2: a hockey town. The Leafs haven't won a Cups since
- 9:39Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven. The Raptors were the fun thing to
- 9:42Speaker 2: do when the Leafs weren't playing, and then they got
- 9:45Speaker 2: very good and very real, and then Kawhi got them
- 9:47Speaker 2: over the top and it gave Toronto that ultimate moment
- 9:50Speaker 2: that it hadn't had since the Jays went back to
- 9:52Speaker 2: back in ninety two and ninety three. So there's a
- 9:55Speaker 2: lot of love there for him. I'm sure he feels
- 9:57Speaker 2: very comfortable there. I think when he looks at the
- 10:00Speaker 2: totality of his career, he knows he had a good
- 10:03Speaker 2: thing in San Antonio and then it wasn't at the
- 10:07Speaker 2: end for a variety of reasons. I'm sure the Clippers
- 10:11Speaker 2: I think, had to do this because look at what
- 10:14Speaker 2: they got. Chuck Brandon Ingham's a good player, very good player.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Grady Dick is a serviceable guard. It seems like the
- 10:23Speaker 2: Clippers have a lot of guys in that role kind
- 10:26Speaker 2: of right now. They got back a ton of draft picks,
- 10:30Speaker 2: and to me, that says that they are anticipating losing
- 10:35Speaker 2: a lot of draft picks whenever this NBA investigation into that,
- 10:43Speaker 2: did that deal did it circumvent tas rules? If they mean,
- 10:49Speaker 2: it's entirely possible, I have not seen it. I have
- 10:52Speaker 2: not seen the report. I don't even know if the
- 10:54Speaker 2: investigation by outside council is done. It has to be
- 10:57Speaker 2: winding down at this point. I don't know if the
- 11:00Speaker 2: Clippers have any idea what's coming. But to me, it
- 11:04Speaker 2: feels like they are bracing for losing a ton of
- 11:07Speaker 2: picks by acquiring this hall of picks. That's that's just
- 11:11Speaker 2: one of the things in my head that says it
- 11:15Speaker 2: helps the Clippers. Evidently Kawhi had told them I'm not
- 11:19Speaker 2: going to resign here. Maybe the Clippers didn't want him anymore.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Maybe they didn't want thirty five year old Kawhi. They
- 11:26Speaker 2: got off of James Harden. Maybe they got younger in
- 11:28Speaker 2: that trade with Cleveland back in February. Maybe that's going
- 11:31Speaker 2: to be the move is that they're going to continue
- 11:33Speaker 2: the you know, trading thirty five year old guys for
- 11:36Speaker 2: twenty five year old guys. B I doesn't really count
- 11:38Speaker 2: in that case, but close enough. I see the Clippers'
- 11:43Speaker 2: perspective to it. I think Kawhi obviously enjoyed his time
- 11:46Speaker 2: in Toronto, and Toronto I don't think would have done
- 11:48Speaker 2: this unless they were ninety nine point eight percent certain
- 11:52Speaker 2: that he's going to resign there, that he's going to
- 11:54Speaker 2: sign an extension and be there for more than twelve months.
- 11:56Speaker 2: This time, I will say this too. I think, no
- 11:58Speaker 2: matter what that investigation hold, whatever the result is, I
- 12:02Speaker 2: don't think Kawhi Leonard's playing eligibility is in any jeopardy here.
- 12:07Speaker 2: I think if there is a cross to bear, it
- 12:10Speaker 2: will be bore by the Clippers. They'll be the team
- 12:12Speaker 2: if something happened, if something went wrong, it'll be the
- 12:16Speaker 2: Clippers that pay the price, whatever it is, whether it's
- 12:19Speaker 2: financial picks or both.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Tim Reynolds from the AP with us here talking some NBA.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Where does Lebron end up? And how interesting is that
- 12:29Speaker 1: on the scale these days? Lebron's destination, I mean, once
- 12:33Speaker 1: upon a time it captured the entire world. Where's Lebron
- 12:36Speaker 1: going to play next? Where does it rate now as
- 12:40Speaker 1: an intriguing storyline for Tim Reynolds.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Well, again, if I really hope it happens tomorrow night
- 12:48Speaker 2: during the wedding and the Argentina here because and then
- 12:54Speaker 2: if he picks Miami, I honestly think Leo will just
- 12:57Speaker 2: walk off the field because I don't know this town
- 13:00Speaker 2: can handle Lionel Messi and Lebron James playing on teams
- 13:03Speaker 2: six miles apart. I don't know if the world can
- 13:06Speaker 2: handle that. So I have no idea where it ends. Obviously,
- 13:10Speaker 2: Philly made a big swing last night, and if they're
- 13:15Speaker 2: going to go this far in, why not go all in? Yeah,
- 13:19Speaker 2: and try to get in Lebron. I think Cleveland obviously
- 13:23Speaker 2: makes all the sense in the world. Golden State, there's
- 13:26Speaker 2: familiarity with Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry. Draymond Green is
- 13:31Speaker 2: a clutch guy, just like Bron. Bron has talked. You know,
- 13:36Speaker 2: I'm sure Bron, like all parents, loves all of his children,
- 13:39Speaker 2: but it's clear that he is very much relished being
- 13:43Speaker 2: a girl dad, and he talks very often about how
- 13:47Speaker 2: his daughter is coming into her own athletically and how
- 13:51Speaker 2: he wants to be present and all those things. Does
- 13:54Speaker 2: he uproot the family? Do they stay in LA? And
- 13:56Speaker 2: does he just go back and forth between San Francisco
- 13:58Speaker 2: and LA and choose Golden's eight? The reunion. There's reasons
- 14:03Speaker 2: to believe that a reunion in Miami is very much
- 14:07Speaker 2: part of his thinking. They made a big splash with
- 14:10Speaker 2: ghannest Yep, great relationships here with ownership with pat Riley,
- 14:14Speaker 2: with Mickey Arris and all of them. Eric Sposer connected
- 14:18Speaker 2: with him again at the Olympics, you know, in twenty four,
- 14:21Speaker 2: and he's always been warmly welcomed back, even though he
- 14:26Speaker 2: hasn't played here in twelve years. Fans still love him
- 14:30Speaker 2: and he's always been very happy when when he rolls
- 14:33Speaker 2: into town with either the Calves or the Lakers. I
- 14:37Speaker 2: don't even know if he knows where he ends up.
- 14:39Speaker 2: But if the news gods are with us, it won't
- 14:42Speaker 2: happen tomorrow night. Let it happen Saturday. Let it happen
- 14:45Speaker 2: on the fourth. Ruined the barbecue, That's fine. Please not
- 14:50Speaker 2: during Leo's game and Taylor's wedding, because that would just
- 14:54Speaker 2: that would be terrible, and then everybody would write the
- 14:57Speaker 2: same headline. It would all be the decision. Bron's versions.
- 15:01Speaker 2: We don't, we don't need that. Let let Tata have
- 15:04Speaker 2: her night.
- 15:06Speaker 1: She's been waiting for this for a long time. She's
- 15:08Speaker 1: written a lot of stories, a lot of songs leading
- 15:11Speaker 1: up to this moment. Let's let her have her.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Nighty Lebron does not want to become the subject of
- 15:17Speaker 2: a tailor Swift distrack. I just he doesn't. He doesn't not.
- 15:20Speaker 2: He doesn't want that. He doesn't want that.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I promise you, I don't think spoken.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Please please say we're not live, Chuck, we could just
- 15:32Speaker 2: scrub all of these comments.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, We're gonna package them and then
- 15:37Speaker 1: repurpose them.
- 15:38Speaker 2: And so.
- 15:41Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna really turn this into something big.
- 15:44Speaker 1: All right, man, Hey, it was awesome having you on.
- 15:47Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do this again sometime. Thank you
- 15:49Speaker 1: very much.

- 19:24Speaker 3: why not? What's up show or sup show? Is Bucky
- 19:27Speaker 3: going to come back? Or was he part of the
- 19:30Speaker 3: KJR cuts?
- 19:32Speaker 1: Well, he certainly was not part of the KJR cuts,
- 19:35Speaker 1: So I can answer that very honestly. And we're kind
- 19:38Speaker 1: of in the dark right now.
- 19:40Speaker 3: I'm yeah, the dark, it is lights out. Have no clue, yeah,
- 19:46Speaker 3: pretty much.
- 19:47Speaker 1: The medical I mean, he's still on medical leave, but
- 19:51Speaker 1: I was under the impression that that was expiring, and
- 19:57Speaker 1: so I can't.
- 19:58Speaker 3: We just don't know.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Even if if I did know the answer, I wouldn't
- 20:02Speaker 1: be I'd get in trouble right if I told you?
- 20:05Speaker 1: Uh so? But we really are in the dark. We
- 20:08Speaker 1: don't really know what is going on there. And that's
- 20:12Speaker 1: about it.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Someone texted in earlier like, oh, yeah, you guys are
- 20:15Speaker 3: just barely hanging on by a thread with Bucky gone.
- 20:17Speaker 3: I was like, gee, thanks, what are you talking about?
- 20:20Speaker 1: Our ratings have actually gone.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Off, crushing it. You shut your mouth when you're talking
- 20:24Speaker 3: to me. We've got from the four two five, their
- 20:27Speaker 3: favorite July fourth thing here bacon wrapped little smokies with
- 20:32Speaker 3: some brown sugar sprinkled on top.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Oh, nice, little smit.
- 20:37Speaker 3: I've never heard of bacon wrapped little smokies with brown show.
- 20:40Speaker 1: See that's the thing about Fourth of July Christmas, there's
- 20:42Speaker 1: always something odd on the table. Or Thanksgiving there's more
- 20:45Speaker 1: so Thanksgiving, there's always something odd on the table. I'm
- 20:49Speaker 1: kind of familiar. Fourth of July picnics and banquet seem
- 20:53Speaker 1: to have all the same stuff, Like we all kind
- 20:55Speaker 1: of grew up on the same Fourth of July. So
- 20:58Speaker 1: for somebody to pull up the little smoke that's a
- 21:00Speaker 1: little different. We never had a little Smokey's on Fourth Joe.
- 21:03Speaker 3: No, because it's just hot dogs. You don't do hot
- 21:05Speaker 3: dogs in many hot dogs. Yeah, you can do a
- 21:07Speaker 3: Canna vienna sausages as well. Dog it up.
- 21:10Speaker 1: But it sounds delicious. Yeah, I don't. I don't blame
- 21:12Speaker 1: you for going there.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Marcus says, guys, I have to have my mom's mac
- 21:16Speaker 3: and my smoked brisket. Oh okay, that's some hard work
- 21:20Speaker 3: smoking a brisket.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Well, i'd tell you what meat makers. They are proud,
- 21:24Speaker 1: they are proud folk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, al kiniski. Oh man,
- 21:28Speaker 1: when he comes on here and talk. I mean, he
- 21:31Speaker 1: likes talking about cracking, but if he could just come
- 21:33Speaker 1: on and talk about meat, that's all he would do,
- 21:35Speaker 1: is our meat insider al Konisky joining us now be thrilled.
- 21:39Speaker 3: He'd be like, oh, do we have a hockey team.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I wasn't sure.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Meat analyst Seattle's meat analyst Al Kinisky now joins us
- 21:46Speaker 1: here on the program, and they're all Tony Softly was
- 21:48Speaker 1: that way too, Oh you've never had it like? And
- 21:50Speaker 1: Tony Softly was like, uh, I mean he took it seriously.
- 21:54Speaker 1: He like went down to town and he like met
- 21:56Speaker 1: with great barbecue Wow legends and tried to get their
- 22:02Speaker 1: secrets and at least have a conversation and see what
- 22:04Speaker 1: he could get out of them. He took it very seriously.
- 22:07Speaker 1: So everybody claims that their brisket is the best. If
- 22:12Speaker 1: I were to guess, I'd probably go with Tony's over Owl's.
- 22:16Speaker 3: And that's just I mean, if Tony's going around asking
- 22:19Speaker 3: for expert advice, Yeah, where's our invite to your barbecue?
- 22:22Speaker 1: Ye, sir, same to you. Al. Yeah, we can have
- 22:24Speaker 1: our minds either. Yeah, we have our minds changed easily.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Why don't you prove it to us? Eric needs tanks, snakes, poppets,
- 22:31Speaker 3: and sparklers.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, very good.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Four one three says Sup Chuck. This year, I'll be
- 22:40Speaker 3: looking forward to some pendergass law.
- 22:47Speaker 1: I like to make it a little spicy, Yeah, I can.
- 22:49Speaker 1: You do. Got to put some peanuts in there.
- 22:51Speaker 3: A little something to give it. That's that pendergass slaw,
- 22:54Speaker 3: a little.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Extra, right right, it's so good it's not even allowed
- 22:59Speaker 1: by law.
- 23:01Speaker 3: That's the truth. Yeah, that's the truth. Uh seven two O,
- 23:04Speaker 3: says Sup Chuck. Why did you wait until later in
- 23:06Speaker 3: life to consume adult beverages.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good question. Well, it was never in
- 23:13Speaker 1: my household. My parents didn't drink my dad's still Well
- 23:18Speaker 1: that's not entirely that's another story for another time. But
- 23:21Speaker 1: we were under the impression growing up that he never
- 23:24Speaker 1: touched the stuff, So it was never in the house.
- 23:26Speaker 1: So it was never one of those things that's like
- 23:29Speaker 1: as a kid, I'm like, oh, I can't wait to
- 23:30Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I didn't have that example. And then
- 23:35Speaker 1: my older brother he has not touched a drop and
- 23:39Speaker 1: he was sort of my you know, that was sort
- 23:42Speaker 1: of the person that I emulated growing up. Wanted to
- 23:45Speaker 1: be like my older brother, and so he was popular
- 23:49Speaker 1: and great athlete in high school, you know, all the
- 23:52Speaker 1: things that I wanted to be as a little kid,
- 23:55Speaker 1: and he didn't. He didn't touch it, so I didn't
- 23:58Speaker 1: touch it. And then one I became an adult myself,
- 24:02Speaker 1: I just remember thinking, I don't really yearn to do that.
- 24:08Speaker 1: So my life's pretty good, things are going pretty well.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Why complicate it. Maybe I can't handle it. I don't know.
- 24:15Speaker 1: So it was really just I don't want to do it,
- 24:18Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden one day, I'm like,
- 24:21Speaker 1: I kind of want to do it. And so it
- 24:24Speaker 1: would have felt to me hypocritical if I didn't start
- 24:28Speaker 1: drinking just because I'd had this streak. Okay, for thirty
- 24:32Speaker 1: one years. It's never moved My older brother still to
- 24:35Speaker 1: this day, has not touched a drop. It's never moved him.
- 24:38Speaker 1: He doesn't want to do it, he has no interest
- 24:39Speaker 1: in doing it, and I think he's really proud that
- 24:41Speaker 1: he never has done it, has done that before. But
- 24:44Speaker 1: I kind of like having seen both sides, and so yeah,
- 24:49Speaker 1: that's why, I mean, there wasn't any really imp It's
- 24:52Speaker 1: not like my grandmother got ran over by a beer
- 24:54Speaker 1: truck or something like that. So I'm scarred, you know,
- 24:56Speaker 1: by alcohol. Nothing like that.
- 24:58Speaker 3: It's just that's happened to people, and that's why they
- 25:00Speaker 3: don't drink.
- 25:00Speaker 1: It wasn't around, It wasn't impactful to my life. It
- 25:04Speaker 1: certainly it seemed like things were going pretty well without it.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Seems like it caused trouble for other people. So I
- 25:10Speaker 1: just kept going without it, and then all of a
- 25:11Speaker 1: sudden one day, I'm like, I'm kind of interested, Yeah,
- 25:14Speaker 1: kind of want to step over to that side of
- 25:16Speaker 1: the aisle. And I don't regret it, certainly don't regret it.
- 25:19Speaker 1: I'm glad I got to see both sides.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I like that. I like that you've come
- 25:23Speaker 3: to the dark side though, too. Two five three says
- 25:26Speaker 3: deviled eggs. I'm not attending any family gathering if there
- 25:30Speaker 3: aren't any there.
- 25:31Speaker 1: That's another one. Deviled eggs people. Man, there are people
- 25:34Speaker 1: that just go like like a night wolf on deviled eggs.
- 25:39Speaker 1: They will see a plate and it is hard for them,
- 25:41Speaker 1: Like I like I am with chips, or you see
- 25:45Speaker 1: somebody with cookies that they just can't get enough cookies.
- 25:48Speaker 1: They just keep going back to the cookie tray. I
- 25:51Speaker 1: like a good deviled egg now and then. But man,
- 25:54Speaker 1: there are some people that can. They're like, just keep
- 25:57Speaker 1: going back to the devil and they will take the
- 25:59Speaker 1: whole tray out if you let them.
- 26:01Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it if you'd let me, but they
- 26:03Speaker 3: have to be good ones. Sometimes people make them there.
- 26:05Speaker 3: They don't drive eggs enough and then they're kind of
- 26:07Speaker 3: wet and I don't like that, or the mixtures to running.
- 26:10Speaker 1: If you walk in and you get a good devil egg.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Bacon, oh, if someone will let me six six, I
- 26:18Speaker 3: wouldn't Normally I'd take two because I'm polite, But if
- 26:21Speaker 3: you'd let me take as many as I want, I'm
- 26:23Speaker 3: going six.
- 26:24Speaker 1: LILYK does this great part and one of his stand
- 26:27Speaker 1: up routines about how when he goes to a party,
- 26:30Speaker 1: he's he's the guy that keeps going back to the
- 26:33Speaker 1: cookie tray. But he said, you have to act like
- 26:36Speaker 1: you're there for the first time every single time.
- 26:38Speaker 3: But I do it every time.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Oh devil eggs. Oh well, guys, I guess I gotta
- 26:44Speaker 1: try one, and then you have one. But every time
- 26:47Speaker 1: you go back, even though you go back twenty times.
- 26:49Speaker 1: You have to act like, oh, double eggs.
- 26:52Speaker 3: I'll do it like I'll just want to haven't seen
- 26:55Speaker 3: these before, I'll try one. Oh delicious, Jeremy says. My
- 27:00Speaker 3: eyes go to the cooler for beer on the fourth. Yeah,
- 27:03Speaker 3: just don't light off fireworks after too many beers. That's
- 27:05Speaker 3: a real problem.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think beer's a I think this is
- 27:09Speaker 1: a beer holiday because you're doing it all day long.
- 27:12Speaker 1: You don't want to go to the hard stuff too early,
- 27:15Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden you are a danger.
- 27:16Speaker 1: I mean there are fireworks around, their kids around, you
- 27:19Speaker 1: know there America is watching. So to me, this is
- 27:22Speaker 1: a beer holiday. I can pretty much drink beer slow,
- 27:25Speaker 1: play that all day long and never even feel tipsy,
- 27:29Speaker 1: just kind of maintain. So I think it's a beer holiday.
- 27:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree. And I actually went back to
- 27:35Speaker 3: having beers last summer, I think because I would have
- 27:39Speaker 3: a seltzer, maybe two seltzers, and then I was like, oh,
- 27:42Speaker 3: I can't handle the flavor of the seltzer anymore, so
- 27:44Speaker 3: I'd have a beer.
- 27:45Speaker 1: I don't even know how you drink seltzer.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Yeah I do. I don't drink a lot of them,
- 27:48Speaker 3: but I do. I do enjoy them. Sometimes they have
- 27:50Speaker 3: their time and place, just like beer. Just like wine,
- 27:52Speaker 3: although Wine's time in place seems to be most of
- 27:54Speaker 3: the time.
- 27:56Speaker 1: There are a lot of times and a lot of places, a.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Lot of times, a lot of places for wine because
- 28:00Speaker 3: there's so many options for wine. Two five, three, says
- 28:04Speaker 3: Sup Chuck. Do you think the chance what do you
- 28:06Speaker 3: think the chances are the Celtics miraculously get the number
- 28:09Speaker 3: one pick in the draft?
- 28:10Speaker 1: You know what, I'm saving that for nine o'clock. You
- 28:13Speaker 1: read my mind because I was going to bring that
- 28:15Speaker 1: up with Tim Reynolds, but there seemed to be too
- 28:17Speaker 1: much to figure out. But I'll answer the question just quickly.
- 28:22Speaker 1: I can't see a path. Like when the Donchitz trade happened.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that as a possibility, and
- 28:29Speaker 1: then when the Dallas Mavericks won it, I'm like, oh
- 28:32Speaker 1: my gosh, now I understand the donchich trade. Months I
- 28:36Speaker 1: couldn't figure out why Dallas did that. Now I know,
- 28:39Speaker 1: I don't even see how they could even possibly. There's
- 28:42Speaker 1: no way to finagle that unless the Celtics don't even
- 28:45Speaker 1: make the playoffs this year. Yeah, then all of a
- 28:48Speaker 1: sudden antenna might go up at that point. Yeah, but
- 28:52Speaker 1: the Celtics, even without Jayalen Brown, are gonna make the playoffs.
- 28:56Speaker 1: It should as long as Tatum stays healthy. But I
- 29:00Speaker 1: will say this, if you see any like weird Jason
- 29:03Speaker 1: Tatum injury this year. Why is he out with a
- 29:05Speaker 1: toothache for five months? You know, something like that, then
- 29:10Speaker 1: the antenna will go up. There's something stinks in Denmark.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much, that's for sure.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Yeah, last one from the two five to three here, sup,
- 29:17Speaker 3: guy's unpopular opinions. Safeway chocolate chip cookies or Costco mini
- 29:22Speaker 3: cookies are top tier. I'm gonna let you know right now,
- 29:24Speaker 3: two five to three that is not unpopular. Safeway cookies
- 29:27Speaker 3: are the best cookies. They're all like half baked in
- 29:30Speaker 3: the middle. The chocolate chip, the candy chip, the snickerdoodle,
- 29:33Speaker 3: you name it. They're amazing. End of story.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Okay, very good. Yeah, I wish I had more gluten
- 29:40Speaker 1: free options. Is a gluten free household Safeway? Maybe think
- 29:44Speaker 1: about that, Maybe think about people less fortunate than yourself.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Yeah, there aren't a lot of gluten free options. There
- 29:49Speaker 3: is the sugar, the snickerdoodles are sugar or dairy free,
- 29:52Speaker 3: and so those are my go too.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Well but oh yeah, the Safeway, the Safeway bakery.
- 29:57Speaker 1: It beckons you all bakeries too.
- 29:59Speaker 3: The fresh bread. They're spiriting better than the smell of
- 30:02Speaker 3: fresh bread.
- 30:03Speaker 1: You come down, Do you come down the night? You
- 30:05Speaker 1: don't come down the ninety?
- 30:06Speaker 3: No, I come down I five?
- 30:07Speaker 1: Okay, Well, all of a sudden, lately coming down the ninety,
- 30:10Speaker 1: I think somebody opened like a new like cinnamon rolls
- 30:13Speaker 1: store or something like that right there at that turn off. Yeah,
- 30:18Speaker 1: onto the five from the ninety, because for whatever reason,
- 30:22Speaker 1: every time that I hit that exit, I smell cinnamon rolls.
- 30:26Speaker 1: It's just started happening in the last month. So I
- 30:28Speaker 1: think a cinnamon roll factory got opened somewhere in that area.
- 30:32Speaker 3: I'm gonna that's reminding me of a story that we
- 30:34Speaker 3: don't have time to tell someone to save it for
- 30:35Speaker 3: one last thing.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Okay, all right, coming up next, we got a grill
- 30:38Speaker 1: to give away. Thanks for all your SUPs. Have a
- 30:41Speaker 1: great Fourth of July, a say fourth of July, and yes,

- 31:30Speaker 1: great stuff. That was last year. Yeah, this year differently,
- 31:34Speaker 1: we've used movies. What was Oh I do know what
- 31:38Speaker 1: our movie clip was from earlier in the show.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Oh, yes, what was it?
- 31:42Speaker 1: Was it the grill with the dragon tattoo?
- 31:44Speaker 3: You are correct? Did you also picture a green mountain
- 31:48Speaker 3: pellet grill with a big dragon tattoo on its side?
- 31:50Speaker 1: Yeah, with a nose ring?
- 31:52Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well Francy ended up a bit.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Yeah, strangely attractive but very weird.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:00Speaker 3: But if you've heard all these songs, a lot of
- 32:02Speaker 3: people are very attracted to their grills.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Yeah they are, so they kind of they're going to
- 32:06Speaker 1: make love to them this week. I think they are
