Lead to Lab literally walked into the studio 15 seconds before we were coming back from break during Eddie's update and dropped an absolute bomb in here. And I've got to sit in this and wear it for the next 12 minutes. I'm just glad Lease here. Please, can we talk about your iR story this weekend? Because I feel like it might have extended in this morning. It might have. It's been a week long silent treatment in the old, uh, the lap household for me. What? Oh, no. Yeah. Apparently I can't leave, you know, I was asked to leave the fourth quarter of game two, I believe it was Thursday. And I refused. I was asked to come help build a, you know, some Ikea furniture. And I said, I could be there in an hour. And that wasn't good enough. So I've been on silent treatment. And I've been on silent treatment for a long time. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be there. Oh, I'm going to be there. Oh, I'm going to be there. Oh, I'm going to be there. Oh, I'm leaking. Yeah. Yeah. You want to go get some scrambled eggs? I'm down. Let's go. Oh my god. Unbelievable. So yeah. So that's. So wait, you really not know what day it was? Well, when I was first thing that I'm waking up to, you know, took me a second. Oh, okay. Yeah. I was asking it. We were just glad you're okay. I'm glad I'm okay too. A bunch of different things we thought could have happened. Maybe Todd had like off you somehow or. Oh, geez. I don't know. Maybe, you know, what a Bob Baffert's horses fell in you as it was dying. We weren't really sure what was going on. You imagine that. Yeah. It's not actually that unthinkable. Yeah. Yeah. Well, listen, Lee is here and I can attest to that because I'm going to have to throw away my clothes because of what he was doing. It's like just a large skunk just walked in the studio and just let one go and then just walked out and then didn't even say anything about it. It was just normal behavior. Like that's why I only poked my head in. See, lead the lead. He delaps the reason why some people in California are still wearing masks. All right. Yeah. He's he's the reason I'm convinced after what he just did. He's man. I'm sorry. One man gets all the blame for that. Yep. Man, I'll take it all. All right. So it is two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. If you're wondering what's going on in the NBA playoffs, I mean, no big deal. We're looking at a couple of sweeps. The Denver Nuggets can get it done. Man, the when the Denver Nuggets go on a roll. They're unbelievable. Like just the onslaught and you watch them in the Lakers play and you saw game three and you're like, man, the Lakers just aren't good enough. Yeah. Like just, which one? You're all Murray in the first half and then you call a yokech in the fourth quarter. You just kind of like, all right, like there's just, they don't have enough to make it happen. And it's, you know, it is what it is. I mean, I know some, some of you, you know, LA folks or LA fans were hoping that would be the case and look, maybe they can turn it around. It wasn't LeBron. The only one to come back from a three one deficit in the NBA finals. I mean, no one's come back from a three O deficit. And I think actually in three O elimination games, like the Lakers all time are 0 and 8, something like that. I saw a stat. Yeah. Sounds like it's not looking promising. But hey, you know, if anyone can do it, LeBron can do it. So I guess we'll have a shot to see that happen tonight. A slight favorite are the LA Lakers at home. There's some three and a half points. Three points now on draft Kings, but which I think the prior game, they were what a five point favor. Yeah, five and a half. Yeah. Yeah. In certain places. In grads to the Miami Heat, they're finally favored in their game against the Celtics coming up game four. They're a two point favorite on draft Kings. It's crazy, right? Like it took them to go up three O and then don't get it. Have the largest victory ever by an eight seed in NBA playoff history. And now they're finally favored. I just I don't get it. Like I was watching the betting lines this weekend before game three between the Heat and Celtics. The Celtics were a bigger favorite to win the finals. And I'm thinking to myself, hold on a second. So they're down. Oh, two, they're going to Miami and the team they're down. Oh, two, two is still an underdog against them and still least likely to win an NBA championship. Like none of it has made sense. Like it just it is not lined up to me. I don't know what people have been watching, but it's been pretty evident, especially over the past week, Denver and Miami are the two best teams. And I actually think that's that's going to be a really fun NBA finals. I know it's not Lakers, Celtics, which everybody was hoping for, but Denver and Miami, I think is going to be a really fun NBA finals. Yeah. Get some new blood in there too. And let me ask you this too. Which player does it solidify their place in the NBA or maybe even catapult them to a to a different stratosphere? Is it Jimmy Butler if he wins it for the heat or is it a yokech or do you not say yokech only because he's won a couple MVPs, but I feel like some people feel like it's not legitimized until you win a championship. Yeah, I would say yokech because I think there is like James Harden won a couple of MVPs, you know, Russell Westbrook won a couple of them or won an MVP at least. He might have won two. I forget, but you look at those guys and you go, Oh, that's cool. I mean, they'll, you know, they're stat stuffers and they'll get it done in the regular season. But when it comes to the playoffs, where are they? And here he is on the best team in basketball with a chance to win an NBA title. Jimmy Butler, I feel like he's already sort of staked his claim and what his legacy is. That's a guy who listened didn't wasn't part of this super team, super team stuff that was going on. He wasn't looking to team up with a bunch of guys. He went to Miami. Everybody said, and we talked about it. Well, you know, of course he's going to Miami, it's South Beach, et cetera, et cetera. And it wasn't about that. He liked Miami, that culture, the hashtag heat culture has fit him perfectly. I feel like everybody is known and seen what he did in the bubble with Miami, who was really banged up and what he's done with this team. I feel like he's already carved out a niche for himself as far as what his reputation is in the league. But if Yokich gets us done for all the people that are talking about stat stuffer and oh, yeah, it's triple doubles. But what does it really mean in the long run? We're seeing potentially the best player in basketball on the best team. And when they get roll, man, it is so fun to watch. And it does look like the Lakers have completely run out of gas and LeBron James looks gassed and fatigued at the end of these games. So I have his 38 years old. He's old, but given the benefit of the doubt. But I in speaking of LeBron, how many championships would he would have had if he just stayed in Miami? Because I mean, if you'll recall when he joined Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, they had the whole, you know, presentation where they're not one, not two, not three, not four, not, I mean, they kind of kept counting. He's one too since he left. One was the bubble. So some of us on the show only count as a half, one and a half to one specific. He obviously brought one to Cleveland. Yeah. Which cemented, I think, is his legacy to a degree, especially going back to Cleveland when it went for Cleveland. But in all seriousness, I think when he left Miami, he missed out on the chance of suppressing Michael, 100% like that would have been the moment that would have been the time with that organization. He would have continually gone to Eastern Conference finals, but to championships and winning them. They went to the finals every year in Miami every single year he was there. They were in the finals. And it was an easier path than two, which I think you could probably make the case in some ways. It's still, at least with a super, a lot of the superstars are you could still make the case. It's probably an easier path to the East, but he most likely or probably would have been able to surpass the six that Jordan won, at least in my opinion. And look, the Chris Bosh health issues, that was a real thing. So obviously that would have to be factored in. But yeah, I don't think Duane Wade would have left and gone to Chicago. I don't think there would have been these other pit stops. If you would have just stayed in Miami, you know, four straight years, they were in the finals. You know, obviously what happened against Dallas that first year, they fell apart, dirt came back, they won that. And then you saw what happened with the San Antonio Spurs, but it just felt like that was the path. And those Miami teams, I would say, were significantly better than any team he played on in Cleveland. Like Kyrie Irving was great, but those Cavs teams weren't anything close to what Miami was. And if you were to stay there, I'm with you. There has been a team that's been as good as that since he left. Like he hasn't been on a Lakers team. That's as good as those teams. No. And so my general point is he left an organization that I think when he got there, it taught him how to win a championship. And from just some of the folks that I knew that were with the Cavs organization, there was an element of him bringing a lot of what he had learned from his time in Miami, but also being more involved as a player into some of those decisions. Like, hey, you want to sign a guy, you're going to have to kind of go through LeBron's people in order to do so. Like that's real. You know, they would talk to, you know, LeBron's team and then LeBron will get back to them and let them know what they thought about it. So it's, I think when you, when you look at what the heat of being able to do with the roster construction and yes, I realized they haven't, you know, won anything. They've been really competitive without someone who's considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, all time in LeBron. So imagine how he stayed for that portion of his career where he was still, you know, playing at a really, really high level and able to take over games where you look at at this point, it's just, it's hard to do that at 38 years old. Like you've got to have a better, better support in cast. He would have been better suited to stay in Miami to allow that organization and Eric Spolstra to build out around him and give him a shot to chase all those titles. Do you think part of the reason that he left Miami is because he wanted to be able to call those shots because, yeah, because Pat Riley runs the show there. And so the story goes when LeBron was there and they were like nine games into the, you know, the big three in Miami, he went to Pat Riley and asked if they would, if he would be interested in coming back to coach because he didn't, he wasn't getting along with Eric Spolstra and Pat Riley said, absolutely not. He's our coach. Just wonder if LeBron realized at some point, yeah, I'm never going to get to run the show here, but I could probably do it and pull the strings that you talked about in Cleveland and elsewhere. And maybe that's why he wanted to show that he could do it. And unfortunately in that process, he gave up an opportunity to win a bunch more championships and have a lot more success from a team standpoint in Miami because they were fantastic and it seemed like they were issuing almost every year to go to the finals. Yeah. And let's look at some of it has to do too with maybe what he felt was best for his family. I mean, going out to LA, it wasn't just about basketball. It was about life after basketball. It was about, you know, Bronnie, who's now going to Southern Cal. I mean, there's a lot of things that I think played a factor in a role and all that. And maybe he just didn't see his future being in South Florida and he wanted to go back to Cleveland cement his legacy there and then move on to that kind of the next phase where, you know, down the line, you know, maybe if he's going to play long enough to Lakers, you know, after the bubble championship, he brought him. He's got enough equity built in there. Well, they'll let him stay until Bronnie gets into the league and they'll figure out what happens from there. It is two pros. And a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio Brady Quinn, Jonah Snox, who the here you can listen to this show is always on the I heart radio app as well.

New pros and a cup of Joe Fox sports radio Brady Quinn Jonas Knox for the year coming up later on this hour. We've got another edition of you in or you out as we get ready to wrap up shop here on a Monday morning. But again, that's a little over 20 minutes from now from the tire rack.com studios. Hey, Brady Quinn, you see that sneaky little move sneaky little move over the weekend late on a Friday, the old Friday news dump from USC. Yeah, I did. Bye bye to the bone arena. Mike bone athletic director at USC been there since 2019 abruptly resigns. Now he did release a statement at the time. So let's first take a look at this statement. Very humble this Mike bone who said quote, I will always be proud of leading the program out of the most tumultuous times in the history of the profession and at USC with a restored reputation and national milestone accomplishments. I led the process to join the big 10 conference hired marquee head coaches produce the highest graduation rate in school history and one numerous national and conference championships. You know, then went on to say that I have been fortunate to have had so many wonderful opportunities and met so many terrific people. I depart wishing the very best to all whom I worked with and served and moving on. It is important now that I focus on being present with my treasured family addressing ongoing health challenges and reflecting on how I can be impactful in the future. And then the LA Times did a little digging. And as it turns out, the old bone arena. Allegedly, there were some criticisms about, you know, the treatment of certain staffers and made female staffers feel uncomfortable by making comments about their weight and their physical appearances and all that stuff that came along with it. There was also some reports that he would just not show up to certain meetings or certain events. He missed national championships and other sports. A couple of coaches said Mike bone is the reason why they took jobs elsewhere. So the nice little Friday news dump and the presentation that they tried to give us Brady Quinn. Apparently now that we start to do a little bit of digging, there was some stuff going on there with old bone arena at USC. Yeah, I mean, there's there's obviously some truth to what he said as far as where he's guided Southern Cal to at this point. He was able to bring in Lincoln Riley, who has been huge for their football program and not only recruitment, but trying to turn things around. He helped navigate a, you know, school going to the Big Ten and securing up their financial security for the future. And what that's going to look like moving forward as so many other schools are trying to figure out what their future even looks like, what conference they're going to play in, what kind of revenue they can generate. He was able to lock that up for them, which as much as other sports, maybe frustrated with maybe his lack of involvement around their, you know, their school, at least at this point, he's given them the financial ability to support it and sustain moving forward. So there's a lot of truth to some of the things that he pointed out. The tough thing is when you hear something like this and some of it immediately resigns, you know, you worry that it's a health concern. I think that was the initial thought for a lot of people. And then when you, you dug into it more, you heard, okay, maybe there were some things going on in Southern Cal. Maybe there were some things that even dated back to his time in Cincinnati. I would expect the LA times to have something more substantial to report on probably this week. But the odd thing is, is, you know, it's such a, it's such a fumble by Southern Cal considering, like, if there was a history of something back in Cincinnati, how did you not know? Like how is it possible that you didn't figure this out through the background check and in the hiring process? And it just, it feels like time and time again, when you look at their, their most recent athletic directors and some of the fumbles they've had, if there's a reoccurring theme and then they finally kind of went outside the box and, and who they went to go higher, but there's still an issue with their process of just even figuring out who the right person could be or the right fit is, you know, for them. But, you know, I would be, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't either see a familiar face come back, but this will be a coveted job, especially considering the position now that Southern Cal is in. Mike Bone did a lot of the hard work that needed to be done, or maybe some of the, the nasty work or tough work that needed to be done in order to position USC in a spot where they're safe moving forward. Now it's just about how an athletic director is going to be more involved in a lot of the other things going on around sports with NIL and the potential of student athletes being to look at as employees. God, USC has provided so much material like over the years, like everything from, you know, cast members from full house going to prison to bombs, fielding puns at practice and Clay Helton wasn't aware because he was too busy on his golf simulator that he had a homeless guy roaming the hallways there practice, like to the old bone arena, like all the other, just like it's one thing after another when it comes to USC. And I know it probably is a heartbreaking situation for you with how fond you are of USC and that whole program to see them continually find themselves stepping in it on a national scale. Oh, I'm not, I'm not going to be one of those guys who's going to dance on, you know, this sort of situation. Okay. This is, there's a lot of people impacted by this obviously. Yeah. Especially if you're a coach and gets hired by an athletic director that AD is no longer there. You go through a bad season. It's tough. You can be concerned about your job security, the leadership of an athletic director impacts obviously the student athletes. There's a lot of people involved here. I will say this. This was the least surprising school though, if something like this was going to happen that it happened at Southern Cal. Right. Right. Now I got to ask you in your, in what order when something happens like this at USC, which continues to pop up, it seems like every year to 18 months, something pops up at USC. In what order does your potential needling or inquiring about what's happening there go from like, do you go Petros first and then liner and then Reggie Bush or what order are we looking at when it comes to reading? I don't need to anyone. You don't have to. They're already getting it from other people. They're like, they just turned the USC brethren. They go, here we go again. Right. Once again, we got to deal with this again. We don't answer about this. I mean, it's, it's always something. I mean, that's the thing is it happens so often you don't have to say anything. It's just a part of it. And a lot of people on the West Coast get upset by me saying this. It's no hatred towards USC. And it's not opinion. It's just a fact. It's the truth. It's always something. Like I'm sorry, like there's nothing to be said because you just laugh every time. You're like, Oh, wait, you don't like the weather now. Wait 20 minutes. Like something else is going to happen here. It's just like, yeah, it's just there's always something bad. Like this is there's no, there's no Notre Dame USC stuff. Like these, this is the facts. Every single 12 to 18 months, something pops up all the time. And if you were to just, if you were to see a story like this or the Aunt Becky story or the, the bum at practice, like, any of you just said, all right, we'll give you two, three guesses. Which team do you think or which program do you think had all this going on? Like USC is going to be one of the top guesses and you're going to be right. Like this, these are all facts. All of this happened and I cannot wait until Wednesday morning when Petros comes on because hopefully between now and then more of these details come out. And then that's one where you just throw Petros the ball and let him run with it. Just let him run his face off because he'll talk on and on about what a disaster USC is. But they did make sure years ago to make sure that Petros was no longer going to be the PA announcer at the basketball games because they weren't happy about, you know, some of his criticism of the program. So so there's all that, that good stuff there. Old USC back at it again. It is two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports radio Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with the here coming up. We are going to have another edition of you in or you out here before we close up shop. But for all the latest from around the world of sports, this guy's not USC. All he knows is success. The one and only Eddie Garcia. I thank you, Jonas. We'll start with the NBA playoffs game three of the Eastern Conference finals and the heat had no trouble beating the Celtics. 128 to 102 Miami cruising to the victory behind Gabe Vincent to add a career at 29 points. Duncan Robinson, 22 points. Those are your two high scores in the win for Miami for Boston. Jason Tatum led the way for the Celtics, but he had just 14 points. Miami the eighth seat in the East now leads that series three games to nothing. They can advance the NBA finals and sweet Boston where they win on their home court in game four on Tuesday. NHL Stanley Cup playoffs game two Western Conference finals. The Golden Knights score late in the third period to tie it up then early in the overtime to win it over the Dallas stars three to two. Chandler Stevenson gets the game winner for Vegas in sudden death as they grab a two series lead winning both games on home ice in overtime. Golf PGA Championship Brooks capka shoots a final round 67. He is the first live golfer to win a major the fifth of his career. He finished for a two shot win over Scotty Sheffler and Victor Hovlin joins only. Tiger Woods and Jack Nicholas's players to win the PGA Championship three times or more in the modern era in baseball. We had the Brewers beating the Rays six four in a battle of division leaders. That's Tampa's only their fourth home loss in 29 games so far this season. Braves get by the Marlins. Excuse me, the Mariners three to two Atlanta are the Rangers beat the Rockies 13 to three three game series sweep for Texas Yankees over the Reds four to one. That's a three game series sweep for the Yankees as well. That's sweep a double header from the Guardians winning game one five four taking the second game two to one. Max Scherzer started the first game. He went six shutout innings and then in the second game Justin Verlander eight innings allowing one run and getting the victory Orioles down the Blue Jays and 11 innings eight to three Baltimore with a three game sweep Astros have a sweep of the A's with a two nothing win that seven wins in a row for Houston is starter. Framber Valdez went the distance in this one complete game for hit shutout. Cardinals get five runs driven in from Oscar Mercado. They beat the Dodgers 10 to five angels over the twins for two show. He'll Tony six innings. Lot of one run nine strikeouts in a no decision. But the halos do get the win and the White Sox wrap up a sweep of the Royals with a five to victory. Now back to Brady Quinn and Jonas Knox and Tyrak.com Fox Sports Radio studios. Thanks Eddie to pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio and right now it is time for the progressive play of the day. And they're letting that horn go man. Jesus. My sons obsessed with truck horns now every time he sees a truck drive by he does the old the salute where he where he pumps his fist. Poppy fast. He's trying to get him to he does it all the time now and he heard a hockey horn during one of the games that I had on the house and he was amazed by it. And so now he likes watching hockey because he just wants to hear the horns. So I try to do that now but I just get weird looks from from truckers when they do that. I think I'm setting the wrong signal at this point. Do people still know what that means because there's some people that just give us weird looks like is that some sort of a gang sign that we're throwing up as we're cruising around the neighborhood like what is with the pumping of the fists like I don't know if people think we're trying to be aggressive we're just trying to get you to honky horn and I don't like back in the day that was the move and I don't know that like nowadays with these kids you know these young ins that are too busy on TikTok. I was back in Ohio and my kids as long as their cousins as well as their cousins they were all doing it and people were honking as they drove by. So I think there's there's still certain places where people know what that is. What are you getting at there? What are you trying to get at there? Why don't Ohio why not out here? He's saying there's like a California thing. I'm not saying they don't in California. I'm just saying I know last time I was in Ohio I was watching my kids do it and they still people still honk. Listen you know me in my Midwest roots. So that's why maybe it's hard to see them fist pumping with a mask on. I don't know. It could be that. Yeah there could be all of that attached to it but nonetheless that is the progressive play of the day. Progressive is making things even easier.

Would you say the NHL playoffs have been better than the NBA playoffs? Like if you had to say which has been the most exciting. I mean yeah Florida Carolina series has been an overtime every game so far. I think it's hard to compare anything to playoff hockey just because there's such a different feeling intensity about it in comparison to the regular season. Then you look at the NBA right now and obviously you've got two series that have gotten out of hand. Yeah I'd say the NHL has been better but that's not always the case. I think this year is just kind of an example of some surprise teams at least in my opinion. I don't think anyone predicted Florida getting this far but that and I think just more compelling hockey at this point. The NBA is doing something and this is ABC ESPN who's a part of this and the NBA is doing this and I think it's kind of dumb. So the NBA finals game one of the finals is set for June 1st. So both these series end up being sweeps. We're going to have what eight days off. I know it's so dumb. I don't know why they have to set a date for instead just waiting to see how the series is going to go. Like I don't like what are we doing here? Like if you want to give them like three four days I understand all that but we got to wait eight days. I mean that's longer than we wait in between you know the some games or most games in the NFL. Like what are we doing here? Like they play once a week in the NFL. That makes some sense. The NBA you're finishing up these series early potentially two sweeps and we got to wait around over a week for them to get to game one of the finals. And if you don't think that some of the NBA conversation at other places is going to be nauseating we are going to step on the gas with our NFL coverage between the conference finals and the NBA finals. I'm telling you that right now if you if you are already dreading eight days of NBA finals preview talk at other places don't worry about it. We will break down every single team in the national football league over the last three years if we need to to try and avoid that as we get ready for the NBA finals that are eight days away potentially from the last game played. It's not like you couldn't do a TV a right to be announced. That happens all the time in sports during during different ports. Yes. I understand that doesn't make any sense. But it's just like a lot of things the NBA does doesn't make it. It's not it's not like you know there's a bunch of different options that could take place. No, I mean, I think we kind of have an idea who's going to be in the NBA finals. All right. It's one of the four teams remaining and it looks like one of the two that are up three oh in the series. Like I don't think travel plans are that hard to figure out and everything else. We do it in other sports but for some reason the NBA can they fly private. I mean, we'll talk about it. It's not like that travels not an issue. It's like, okay, where are they putting them up with this staying? They usually will have booked out some places in advance in the event that they do make it like they've already got reservations in hand in all those cities. So I don't I don't really get it. I mean, you're only worrying about really two cities, right? Because you're talking about who you're going to be playing against. And I think right now if you're Denver, you're probably making reservations in South Beach or at least you have been and you've already got those things in place. Yep. South Beach and Mile High. That's what we're doing. You're going to have the green wolf and snow angels. Yeah. What was I what they say in the Jeremiah? Surfer ski, bro. Yep. Surfer ski. That's what it is. That's what it was there. It is two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. It's Brady, Quinn, Jonah, stocks are the all right. It's coming up next. We're going to put a bow on this bad boy.

Guys, today marks the start of the French Open at Roland Garro. Are you guys in or out on the French Open? Um, I'm in because, I mean, if both NBA games and NBA, NBA, uh, conference files and being sweeps, yeah, I'm going to need like something else to watch. I'm in because these are going to be on while we're doing the show and we don't, we don't get a lot of opportunities to have live sporting events. Does that mean? Yes, it does. Oh, wow. We get live vet loser. I mean, live vet Jesus coming. Listen, I, uh, I can't speak for the man or the being, whatever you want to call the phenomenon. He's awful at that. It is. Which is odd because you're also awful at that. I mean, yeah, like we have, you know, similar things in common. He struggled at times. I'm pretty sure live that Jesus won his last one. Most positive. No, I don't, I don't, that's fine. Not the case. Unless you bet again, you know what, the final game of the final set of the final match. And it wins a win, you know, that's the way I look at it. But again, I don't want to speak on behalf of live vet Jesus, but who knows? Maybe he could be making an appearance during the French Open. It takes place. By the way, Nadal's not participating, right? He's got an injury. I believe that is correct. Yes. That's right. And he's won like what? 13 or something like that. Something crazy. It's ridiculous. Yeah. What is with that? Why is just good on clay, man? You know, it's like some horses are mutters. Some aren't. He's just great on clay. Don't they call it? And the horse prefers to run on the dirt and the mud and the slides. Yes. Yeah. What else we got? 14, by the way, 14 French Open titles. Bernadol. Yes. 112 and three win loss record. What? He's 112 and John. Is that right? So like when he loses, he's basically in the finals. Is that he's 112 and three at the French Open? That's what comes up. Like that's I got a double check that doesn't seem right. Wow. Yeah. That's impressive. What else we got? What else we have? You guys at a baseball game, are you in or out on the wave? Out. Oh, I'm in. I got little kids. They think it's cool. Last time it went, I think they did it. Yeah. I agree with Brady. That's the only reason why my daughter. Come on, man. We'll go to dodge game this reason why I do it. Like if it's going, I'm in. I'm not going to be the guy sitting down. It's so lame. I just don't want to be the jerk dad who isn't doing it. Yeah, exactly. He sent a bad example for his son. Like I would never want to be that guy. Well, you know, I'm thinking right now. I would never want to be that guy. Listen, a little parenting tip for me to you. You know what you do instead when everyone's doing the wave? You poke fun at all the people you were doing. If you were standing next to me, I would just kick your ass. No. I really would. See, because what you need to do, if you want to be a good parent instead of trying to entertain them by doing the wave, why don't you entertain them by showing them at a doctor of baseball? You know, like a little sandpaper here, a little 50 grit. You know, file it down a little bit. You get a, you know, a couple extra inches on your break. You know, like teaching the whole hearted. You can't file it down. You have to make the seams more pronounced. That's how you want to doctor the baseball. Listen, if you're going to put a substance on it, you're getting it from movement. Yeah. Well, listen, something about it. This is just again, but you can teach your child this. You don't have to just sit here and rise up and down. You know, like everybody else. Like, oh, the rest of the sheep that are all doing a lot. It's like, it's like all right. All right. Cool guy. All right. Cool guy. Don't do the way with your kids. So that goes. Baseball talk here. What else we got, Lee? I know you love this, Brady. It's national solitaire day. I guess it are out on solitaire. In my dad played solitaire. All day. Like, when he got older and he just was hanging out, you know, watching a game, he loved playing solitaire. That was his thing. And I would watch him play for hours. And it would just, for whatever reason, he could just zone out and play solitaire. So in honor of my dad, I'm in. In honor of my mom, she still does this. So she literally will be sitting there. I remember coming home when I was in high school and she'd be sitting at the kitchen counterplan solitaire. She's the old school way, like, most people have apps on their phone. She doesn't even do that. No, I'll play. I'll play solitaire when like the Wi-Fi cuts out, right? Like, oh, where's your landing? You're not supposed to have anything out. Delta has it, right? Delta, like Southwest does too. But I will play. Oh, you're talking about the seat. I'm all put on my phone. Like, I'll just, I'll play a few games of solitaire before we land, like during that period of it. By the way, you know, that probably means that as we get older, we're going to play solitaire. Because you start to take on certain characteristics of your parents. So I now know, like, when I get older, I'm going to start playing solitaire. I think the question is if I'll stop playing solitaire because I kind of technically still play now. Yeah. You've got to go old school deck of cards, though. Something about the deck of cards. I still, like, have you ever seen anybody use a really good shuffle on a deck of cards? Like, if you watch like a dealer in Vegas when you're sitting down at a table, it's mesmerizing to watch how they work. I don't know how people are able to do it and how get that skill that it. But it's fun stuff. What else we got, Lee? From National Solitaire Day to World Goth Day, today's the day where we celebrate Goth culture. Are you guys in or out on? Are you saying Goth? Goth. Yes, correct. Like Gothic culture, correct. Started with the Gothic novel Dracula. Yeah. Sweet. I mean, I think it went downhill from there. I mean, what we can say about Goth cultures. Yeah. Well, I'm reading up on it a little bit. Eyeliner and Marilyn Manson shirts. Basically. And going out of Hot Topic. Is Beetlejuice part of the Goth culture? Apparently, yes. Beetlejuices? It's considered part of the Gothic American fantasy comedy. Yeah. Let me tell you something. When I think Goth, I don't think Michael Keaton. Right. But like, Beetlejuice is not Gothic. I think of like Marilyn Manson. I think of like, there's some of these other dark bands back in the day, these metal bands. Like, that's what I think of when I think of dark. Or like, like Gothic dark culture like that. I don't think they're going to sequel to Beetlejuice, by the way. No. Of course they are. Yes. What? Coming out next year. By the way, I heard. Is Michael Keaton in it? Yes, he is. Is he really? Okay. All right. All right. I know he's in the new Flash. Flash as Batman. Yes. Which I saw by the way. He's a good actor. He doesn't get enough credit, by the way. Love Michael Keaton. He's great. He remember Mr. Mom back in the day? Well, even if they didn't want to solve the Hulu series, Dope Sick, he was fantastic in that. I've been meaning to watch that. Yeah. One good cop, another underrated movie back in the day with Michael Keaton. What do we got? Probably the second best Batman. Yeah. Second best? Who's the best? Christian Bale. Christian Bale. Really? Yeah. Is that debatable? My opinion was pretty good though. I was a Michael Keaton guy. I'll say second best. But Christian Bale hit it out of the park. Yeah. I didn't even know he was from Wales. Adam West. Come on. Are you got Christian Bale who's American? Yes. Really? Yeah, he did. Because he's that good of an actor. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Who do? All right. There it is.
