  Speaker 2: It's our number ber three. Our number three is ready
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: to go. And here in hour number three, it's all
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: about the mouth of the owner of the Denver basketball team,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Nuggets owner Josh Kronky, the guy that he was talking
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: about the right DNA, Josh Kronki is out there unpromoted
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: floating the idea of trading Nikola Jokic because of the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: second apron. How do you appraise this one? Also, the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: NBA has rubber stamp the one point five billion dollar
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: sale of the Timberwolves from Glenn Taylor to Mark Lore
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and Alex Rodriguez. What do you think a rod will
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: be like as an owner now that he's got the team?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: And Matthew Kachuk says the Panthers had a five hundred
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars bar tab at a Miami nightclub after winning
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that will.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Go there and everywhere right now in our number three.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So who's the joker? Now? That's the question.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Welcome in the beginning of another.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere with bull dust as
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we have no microplastics none coast to coast, border to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: voter hand beyond on the mast and overwhelmingly powerful microphones
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: of fsre emminating live from the machine, the vending machine
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of hot takes the Fox Sports Radio Studios as approved
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: by our friend, the legend, the one and only Andy
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. As we're hanging out, we're doing
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it live all night long, coming up later this hour.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: If you stay with us, you're gonna get such a treat,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: unless you don't, because you'll get in a little bit
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the riddle day also too much or not enough? And
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: later this hour the Queen of Hearts with Lorraine up
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: so you can send those questions in hashtag Queen of Hearts.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I know JT.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: The Wingman's hard at work doing that right now as
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we speak. So Queen of Heart's coming up later this hour.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But we begin in the Rocky Mountains. A stunner, not
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: from down under, a stunner from up above the Mile
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: High City.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Now it involves a.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: World where the Denver basketball team would be went out,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: their most valuable player up in thin air, just vanishing
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: into thin air. So you didn't see this, and perhaps
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: not the Denver Nuggets owner Josh Kronkie, who is the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: son of Stan Kronkie, who is the one that has
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the money. But Josh Cronky, unsolicited, by the way, said
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: there is a world.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: There is a world where they have.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: They have no choice. They being the Nuggets, they have
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the multi platinum, multi time MVP
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Nicola Jokicic, the man that gave the Nuggets the championship
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a couple of years back, and he said, it's not
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: as far off as.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You would think.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Now, just to prove I'm not making this up, we
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have the audio tape here is Josh Kronky, again unsolicited.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: He just brought this up on his own. The idea
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that number fifteen Jokic would be relocated take a liss.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I think that for us as an organization, going into
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: that second apron is not necessarily something that we're scared of.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I think that there are rules around it that we
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: needed to be very careful of. With our injury history.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: The wrong person gets injured and very quickly you're into
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a scenario where that I never want to have to contemplate,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and that's to trade number fifteen. You know, we're very
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: conscious of that forward and you know, providing the resources
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: that we can when the moment arrives. But that second
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: apron is it a hard cap. I'm not one hundred
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: percent sure, but it's something that teams are obviously very
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: aware of going forward.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: All right, So that was Josh Cronky. You also spoke
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: about the possibilit that Yokic would get.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: A contract extension and said that, well, you know, it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: contest's going to expire in twenty twenty eight. That's three
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: years down the line. And while he would love for.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Nicola to stay with the Nuggets, he did not make
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: any promises that Jokic would stay with the Nuggets past
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You are the insider Nuggets owner Josh Kronki got that
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Cronky money. Josh Kronky is out there, un promoted by
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the media floating the idea of a scenario where they
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: would have to trade Nikola Jokic because of the second apron.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: So how do you appraise this one? So I've gotten
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Marvel Comics, protein shake, and down payment, and we will
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: combine all of these things together and we're going to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: make some delicious tiktos with cheese and chicken and just
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: just Deliciou little sauce.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: On the side. It's the way to go. It's the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: way to go.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So my first on this is the butt. He said,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the word butt. Everything before the word butt is a lie.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So when he said we're very conscious of that, pushing
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: forward and providing the resources, Josh Cronky said that when
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that moment arrives talking about you know, the aprons and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, that is the lie part. They're aware
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of it. They're scared to death. It sounds like they're
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: scared to death. It's basketball malpractice, is what it is.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You can't do it. You get rid of everything, you
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: trade Rocky the mascot if you have to. Okay, you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: get rid of my you rent out the arena as
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: an airbnb, but you do not get rid of nikolee ookicch.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Cannot do it. Cannot do it. Now. I understand this guy.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: One of the genetic lottery is the air to the throne,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the Kronky throne and all that stuff.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But as we.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Often say, the sequel is not be equal. As a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: talk show host, I love Josh Cronky because he does
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: not know what he's.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Doing in terms of deal with the media and in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: He's like a Marvel Comics character, the face of the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Nuggets ownership group, doctor Strange, the mystic manipulator of time.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Josh Cronky again unprovoked. He was asked a question, unprovoked,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: just casually drifting towards the nuclear red button for the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Denver basketball team, of trading away the joker right setting
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: up the doomsday clock, if you will, for the Nuggets.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And he has no idea, Kronky seemingly on how to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: talk to human beings, let alone the media.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So it's a bit of a problem.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: There's no charisma, there's zero awareness and all that stuff,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: which it makes for good soundbites. So I should be
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: happy that he's like this, and we hope he doesn't change.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: But it's just another owner essentially crying poverty. And that's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a common theme among the big market teams.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: They haven't out.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, well, we'd love to keep the player.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: But it's not our fault. The apron, the damn apron.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I've never seen so many billionaires afraid of an apron.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: But here we are, right here we are. But Nikola Jokicic,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure you don't need to have a baked sale,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Stan Krock He's worth eighteen billion. He's worth eighteen billion dollars.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Nikole Jokic is the is the Nuggets universe at this
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: particular point. You ride that horse till the horse needs
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to go to the glue factory and then yeah, you
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: get a different horse. But you don't trade planets. You're
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: not like, I'm going to deal this planet because the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: telescope cost too much, so I'd rather than pay for
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the telescope. I'm just going to trade trade the planet.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Why would you even entertain the thought and to just
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: throw it out there publicly, It's like.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Right?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I understand I get to the old the CBA outrage,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and this is not right. It's it's hard to stack
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: super teams and all that stuff keep players around. But
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: if you trade Nicole Jokic as the Denver Nugg, you
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: got to go back a generation or two and you
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: might as well bring back Neyine. We'll do the Nayne
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: bring nine back and Rayfel of friends, and I don't
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: know where Danny Fortson is at this point.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe can track him down and have him play.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And Mike D'Antoni is still hanging out somewhere, So why
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: not now? Secondly, we have an ownership change in Minnesota,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: just days after the Lakers were sold for ten billion dollars.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: The Minnesota basketball team, the Timberwolves, franchise that years ago
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: flirted with contraction and now they flirt with the conference
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: finals every year and can't seem to get past that
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: bump bumpity bump in the road. But they have new owners.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Now the NBA has rubber stamp the one point five billion.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: What a deal?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: One point five but no, what a Glenn Taylor was upset?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: So the Lakers worth ten billion. The Timberwolves, who play
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the Lakers are a contemporary, are worth one point five billion?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Who goofed? I've got to know the team sold from
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Glenn Taylor, who did nothing as owner for years and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: years and years except to make money and put a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: crappy team on the court. And Mark Lore and Alex Rodriguez.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I believe I'm saying that Lauris No, I don't know.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of some rich guy. So what do
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you make the story?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Here is a Rod?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: So what do you make of a Rod as an owner?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Any advice, any wisdom to share with the Minnesota long
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: suffering Minnesota fan covered in Juicy Lucy's any advice?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: What do you make of a Rod as an owner?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So you don't have to worry about spending a lot
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: of money, You don't have to worry about a Rod
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: doing whatever it takes to put a winner on the court.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That's not going to happen a Rod, even though he's
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: got a lot of money, he's got player money, which
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: is not owner money because he played two big contracts
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: playing baseball, so gave up a lot of money because
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: he was a steroid cheat and all this stuff. But
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a Rod, I'm pretty sure, from what I know of him,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: would not pick up a dinner tab a Rod, unless
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: unless that dinner tab came with a tax ride off
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and a protein shake tossed in on top. He might
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: The protein shake would be the thing that he needs
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: with his special proprietary blend, if you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So fasten your seatbelts. It is going to be a
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: white knuckle roller coaster with a Rod. And I hope
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: for my friends in the Twin Cities that the NBA
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: adds expansion teams asap. Or you might want to look
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: behind your back here because you could be stabbed in
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the back. Rodriguez. Now a he says all the right things.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: He says all the right things a Rod. Most of
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: these people do very rarely. You get a Josh Kronkey
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: who's sounds like he's got his foot in his mouth
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff. But a roddal He's said a
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: lot of these things already. I am committed to Minnesota.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I love the fans. These are the greatest thing in
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the world. Everyone quoting the late great Tommy Lasorda, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: what do you want to win championships for these fans?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: All this see say all those things. Commitment, you say it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: You're committed, right, I believe in this team.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: That's why I bought this team and all this stuff.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It's easy to say when the deal's done right away
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and the cameras are rolling and you're getting some cloud
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: on social media and all that stuff. But what happens,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the real test, where the rubber meets the road, is
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what happens when the honeymoon ends.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: And let's say a Rod wants a new arena because
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: you can make more money and why not, and they
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: say X nay on the arena A and he doesn't
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: get that money and then he wants more TV money,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: but they're capped out because of the Minnesota market. You
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: can only make so much money in that market. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: then you've got Anthony Edwards who's got the big money,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: but he's gonna want more money, and then that's an
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: issue you where you want to pay him more money,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: do you end up getting rid of him and all
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: that stuff, And so then the payroll balloons up like
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: a turkey before Thanksgiving. And so again, the hope is
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: that the NBA adds. And there's been some chatter that
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I've heard from people who are associated with this that
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: later this summer, once everything calms down, there'll be an
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: announcement that we're gonna start reviewing expand we'll take bids
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and go through the review process and all that stuff.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And so at that point that'll be great. That'll be
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: good for Minnesota because a Rod will be essentially stonewalled
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: because the most likely destination a Rod's gonna leave Minnesota,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: he's gonna go to Seattle or Vegas. Those are the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: obvious markets that are this close to getting an NBA team,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: and so Seattle's waiting around. Vegas is also a lurking
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: out there in the shadows, and so those are cities
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: you get some shinier toys, You get some you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: get some more, more money, deeper pockets. There's a lot
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: of money in Vegas because of gambling. So I'm not
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: being like paranoid guy. I'm not being the prince of
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: paranoid here. I'm just telling you that a Rod saying
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: all the right things and saying, oh no, I want
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to stay here and all this stuff, no one buys
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a team and then announced I really want to move
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the team in Vancouver when the years ago the Grizzly
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and we were just in Vancouver and we met a
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: bunch of guys that grew up Vancouver Grizzlies fan and
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: they never thought the team would move to Memphis, Tennessee.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But it happened right. And the Sonics they were owned
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: by a guy that was a Starbucks owner.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: They never thought he would sell out to a oil
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: baron from Oklahoma. And I mean it's people. See how
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: still were the gold and the green of the Sonics
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and then but they moved. I mean, you love the
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: nostalgia and all that, but you love the money more
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and you buy the team for the leverage and the leverages,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: you're going to move the team, and and so now
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you have the team, and so now you can negotiate
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: with a bunch of hacked politicians. And so that's where
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: we are. It's not personal, it's business. Nogain, I hope
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong on this. A Rod keeps the team in Minnesota. Uh,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: if there's no expansion this year, and a Rod, you
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: know who's's got money. But he doesn't have the kind
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of money that Mark Walter, who's going to buy the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Lakers have with the new owners of the Celtics.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So it's a little.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Different now, final fun to hockey, what kind of hockey
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: kind of it's more of like a party story than
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: hockey story.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: So Matthew Kachuk says, the Florida.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Panthers, the team that just won the Stanley Cup, they
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: went out to a night club in the greater Miami
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: area and.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: They had a banger of a knight.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: They had a night of nights after they won the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup, and the hockey players ran up a five
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars bill one night after they won the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup and they didn't have to pay it. So,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on this? So I don't if
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you saw the story or not. By the way, that
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: is not a tab. A tab is an expensive tab.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Was it? Five hundred and seven hundred dollars? That's an
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: expensive tab at a restaurant. Most expensive meal I've ever
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: been a part of, and this was years ago, so
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: with inflation, it's probably a lot more than that. Most
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: expensive meal was like seven hundred, like seven hundred and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: seventy dollars, I think, And it was with work. We
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: were on the road and we blew our travel budget
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: in that meal. So the rest of the time we
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: were essentially eating doggie bags of food because we burned
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: through the budget.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But anyway, back to the.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Story, DN, so that's again not a tab. Five hundred
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars. That is like a down payment on a yacht, okay,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: or you can buy a small island in the Caribbean
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But my favorite part there was the fact that it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: all got comped.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those things I'm not sure
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: why it happens, but it's happened as long as time
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: has been around. I remember years ago when I was
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: lucky enough to do stuff with the Doyers, and I
• 16:12

  Speaker 2: answer and keep listening. No one almost ever gets this right.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: So Eric DaCosta, that's the GM of the Baltimore Ravens.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: So he testified there was a legal case going on.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: But the difficulties in negotiating with Lamar Jackson. Remember Lamar
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: got that big money contract about a year ago and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Lamar's got no agent. But the issue was exasperated because
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: of blank.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: That is the mallor riddle of the day.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Ferg Dog says, because producer Ian forgot to follow Ben Mahller.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: That's correct. Donkey Sausage says, because of God. Because of God,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: who else did we have about? Because Lamar did not
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: have his morning coffee and that was the issue. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: forty in says they were exasperated because Lamar did not
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: have his mom's permission to come out and play interesting
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Alf the Alien Opiner says, because of Lamar's demand for
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: another season of Benny Versus the Penny and a mallor
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: meet and greet. Well, that's a great answer. Now keep
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: good thoughts. Big big weekend, upcoming, big couple of days
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: here as they determined the future of Benny versus the
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Penny at the end of the week there alf it
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: did not make the Boston Meet and Greet last year,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: so he says he will show up this year, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Mike the leprechauns claiming there's gonna be a band. There
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: might even be a first pitch at a minor league
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: baseball game. Some have said that who knows, but it's
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: not locked in yet. Lady Sideburns says, because of kurdled
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: milk is the answer. Mister Irrigation says, every one was
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: busy talking about the big kat trade and he's got
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: some AI artwork there.

  Speaker 1: Who else do we have?
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Exasperated because he wanted to add his weekly food Pick's
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Claws to the Ravens contract. Eke says, because of Ikean Roseville, Minnesota,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: because of Lamar's mom budding in JT the Wingman says,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: because of Lamar's requirement to listen to the Fifth Hour podcast.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Damn right, must listen, must listen. What do we have here?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Let's see Trucker Joe checked in mister irrigation said something
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: about the joker bugs.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Buddy was guessed earlier. I don't know, all right, Lorena,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: do you have an answer, Lorena, yes, ben okay.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: I believe he was exasperated because he lost his pickle.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: He lost his pickle.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Interesting, he lost his pickle.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: No, that is incorrect. It turns out.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It turns out that Ravens GM Eric de Costa testified
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: that his issues negotiating directly with Lamar Jackson partially because
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: of the agent, but they were exasperated because of Lamar's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: cell phone microphone not working.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: He couldn't talk on the phone. His phone was broken,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the microphone on a Fah, that's a payment.

  Speaker 2: You go down to the Apple store if you have
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the insurance, and then you know that is a.
• 24:21

• 25:31
  Speaker 6: So at the end of the night we want to
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: callers a night, go home and everything. So we usually stop,
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: and you know, we stopped at a spot and buy marijuana.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: That's when marijuana used to be sold on the corners
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: and on streets, not not in dispensaries and stuff like that,
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: but we couldn't find Now, we went to three and
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: four different spots, we couldn't find none. So we're like, man,
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: this is this this call the night. So I started
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: taking my friend. I jump on the one ten to
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: the ten, going west, going towards you know, with the
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: ten Santa Marca's going west. And soon as I came
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: around to turn off the ten up to one ten,
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I was driving, but I had my music up so loud,
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: so we was bumping music. This one song I never
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: play ever again. It's called Craig and it's his spot,
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: guy named Craig. Matt, Can I get down. I don't
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: play that song never no more because it scares me.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Because I got on the freeway and I'm rolling back,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: I got the music up loud, and all of a
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: sudden we see this black vovo for a door with
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: kenny windows. We couldn't see any and my friend tapped me,
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: like turn the music down, watch out, watch out. So
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: on the freeway, they used to have these islands on
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: the freeway, but they don't have them no more. They
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: got walls now. But on this island, he jumped the island.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: He jumped smooth over that island, and when he jumped
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: over the island, he hit my car boom, and he
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: kept pushing us. He hit me, but he pushed me,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: tried to push me to the Senate divider to go
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: on the east side. He's trying to push me over
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: the sand divider on the tract to going east, but
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: I had put my foot on the brake, but he
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: bounced off of me and he kept going. So the meanwhile,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I'm stuck in the truck and my cars against the wall.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: A truck almost hit us. Lucky the truck slam A
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: diesel truck almost hit us, and it slammed on the brakes.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: So I was and I woke up, like, man, what's
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: going on? My friendly like we finna get paid? I
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: said no, we not. I look back and the car
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: kept going. I was like, ah, man, I'm on the freeway.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: My car is total. So we standing out in traffic,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, my guardian angel pulled up
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: in a Porsche and he said, hey, I saw everything. Man,
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: just get in with me. I take you guys and
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: drop you off on the next exit. But the whole
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: time we was riding with this guy, he never said
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: nothing to us. I couldn't even see his face. Really,
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: he just kept looking straight. He wasn't talking to us
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: or saying nothing. So he dropped us off and he's like, Okay,
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: you guys have a good day. But by the end
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: up I had a pull out radio. I left my
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: pull out radio in his car, and he just took
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: off and I never seen the guy ever again. But
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: what was so crazy about it? Everybody thought that me
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: and my homeboy, we was all high off drugs and
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: all that. And I told my car, but I told
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: my mom, I'm like, we couldn't even find on marijuana
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: that night we were going home. We was calling her
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: the knife. So that's what I tell people nowadays, do
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: not dance with the devil, because karma would come for you.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: And it just came back on us in the cold way.
