Tune in to Mason & Ireland on ESPN LA. #Dodgers #Lakers
e is on for your Monday afternoon hit it and quit it here we go hopefully it was a beautiful weekend Dodgers sleep the Braves Mason and irand will break all the baseball down with real Dodgers Talk Plus the Lakers still don’t have a head coach more details on that I’m sure and last night the Tom Brady roast is it true Ireland said they w going to mention jelle they mentioned gazelle like 10,000 times made me think about the old mason and Ireland roast to Comer Casino years back I don’t think Mason could make you through a roast anymore when you look in the mirror what do you see I see someone who’s trying really hard a lot of effort is what I see anyway let’s get to the fun and frivolity of a Monday afternoon celebrating their 20th year at ESP at Los Angeles the biggest show on the radio Mason in irand your Monday afternoon right now bye a good afternoon good afternoon good afternoon how was the weekend guys what’ you do Ireland well Friday night I went to uh Beach right how was uh seal and sting how both great both great you made the right choice though you were originally going to go but then you’re like me you’re a ticket snob and you didn’t want to sit general admission had you done that even with VIP I had VIP standing for four or five hours yeah but Lisa was really smart so we we went and saw seal then we had an hour to before sing sting and so we went and ate dinner at shade down there that hotel and then went back you had a good plan that’s a good plan yeah we we we handled it well they’re both great seal and stain were both great and it’s really cool seeing the whole Beach turned into a 5,000 people on the beach y so uh so that was fun and then uh SE sing this did you sing kids from sure this saying all does he have another hit oh yeah uh sure um name it crazy yeah crazy you yeah crazy You’ just that’s no no play play Crazy by Seal Brian you’ve heard it no you know this song Crazy Seal’s got tons of hits yeah matter of fact he had um he probably had oh it is in the system here I got it all right play this is probably his biggest no kids from Aros is his big H but this is probably number two yeah this is right up there and sting played everything he was great did he yeah what was his Encore song uh what what did he save for I’m always interested to see what songs they save for The Encore yeah uh it was the one about the stalker oh it was Every Breath You Take yeah at the end I think he I think he closed with that the night you and I went and saw him too I think he did closing closing number uh opened with message at a bottle and closed with that nice uh and then Saturday you did uh Kentucky Derby I did I bet 40 bucks on fierceness the favorite right might yeah because I figured I got three to one I was going to win 60 bucks easy yep finished 15th nice Greg your your horse finished 10th my horse finished first in the following race oh you bit the wrong race no no no I’m saying my horse was so slow he actually he was behind he wasn’t behind mine horses in the field yeah no I think he was pretty back there just a touch great race it was an unbelievable race I was at a derby party ended up getting invited to a derby party at at a yacht club in the marina things that don’t go together Mason and Yacht Club how was it it was fantastic all of the women had the goofy hats on and everybody Drew and here’s what sucks so they did a we did a big pool of all the horses and they came down to the last two last two little slips you could take for 10 bucks each um so I reach in I take take one it’s a 50 to one shot the the last uh piece in there was Mystic Dan was or so so the last person won the money the last person won won the money and a pretty good number too right 18 to1 20 to1 yeah pretty pretty long shot now I heard he’s not going to run in the pness which I think sucks I think it should be a requirement yeah I do too if you win it you gota you gota kind of show up uh Bergman what did you do uh I had a really good weekend with uh with my kids and um oh oh let me set this up okay Bergman walked in today and said over the weekend I had the greatest honor of my life which was and I said don’t tell me now save it for the show so you remember my uh my my Refugee family family that stayed with me yeah right they stayed for a long time yeah long time so they decided to make me the Godfather of their kids this weekend oh that’s awes I don’t think there’s a greater honor I’ve ever had in my life did they have a like did you go to a baptism or something no it’s it’s just an honorary thing wait a minute so they there was no formal paperwork signed they they were always every time I made jokes about it they would just be like yeah yeah okay okay no there is no paperwork with if you’re a yeah but I like when I was a Godfather I went to uh baptism so Catholic thing and I poured a little water on the head and did some of that basically they’re saying that if they pass away I get their kids they they’re trusting me yeah they’re trusting me with their kids if they go if they go that’s what that means what you did with the water that’s essentially what that means if something happens to those parents now you are the parent of that so are those kids adults now that you were the Godfather for yes okay yeah they’re grownups I’m off the hook by the way there’s one I wouldn’t I couldn’t even tell you the name I’m I’m his Godfather I couldn’t even I have I have no recollection of it whatsoever it was a previous relationship and a nephew and something or yeah I mean I don’t know my uh my godfather disappeared uh my my godfather I know who my godmother was but my godfather we never his name was fie my my godfather was my uncle my mom’s brother is is that normal like if anything would have happened to me growing up I would have gone to live with him it was my mom’s cousin Ferdie who disappeared so I would have not been able to I still would have not had anywhere to live Ferdie what a name what a name fie f e r d i e Ferdie but how cool is that is that is that not a cool honor it sounds like it sounds like a burden sounds like a bur walking around with the knowledge that you you’re a bad guy at all I think you should be honored no it’s a very nice honored agree with you did they move back in they live in a house now yeah was that that was the first question will you be the Godfather great he’s moving in with you all right yeah that would have been the next step Brian what about you what what was fun this weekend I went out to a very nice steakhouse in Long Beach I think it’s like 555 what you order that’s where I was at the Kentucky Derby party in Long nice yeah I was down there Saturday night a nice little filet with some uh artichoke some french onion soup off the CH not a little not a petite fet I had a petite fet you’re a petite fet Guy usually first forter house guyis got actually so good for her petite filet is the way to go Michael and I always order petite fillets because then you get to eat all the other stuff exactly all the sides you dessert I like a big New York strip nothing wrong with that and I like it to be dry AED not wet aged wet aged is different from dry aged what’s the difference explain the difference uh well they AIDS a steak uh either in in liquid uh in some sort of Marin or they age it dry they sort of hang it and dry it out I think when the steak is dry uh dry aged it’s got a nice little crust on it gets a little crust on top which I they were all dry aged very good the best there you Flemings by the way wet aged I will not eat there we not eat it it’s it’s like a hundred bucks for a New York that’s wet AED come on so what’s weird about where we are LA live if you come down here for an event like you come to crypto.com Arena you have a choice between the palm mastros and Fleming which are all technically across the street from crypto depending on which direction you go now given those three where you going uh I do not like mastros you don’t like Flemings so does the Palm win by wins the Palm wins I like all three of them ding ding ding Flemings too expensive no I like Flemings they’re all good although you know what I associate with Flemings is the night that they they took Mason and I the guys who ran this place took Mason and I to dinner it was the eve of game seven of the 2010 finals to announced that they were firing Dave singer who had produced our show from the beginning and we said no and walked out walked out now if they said they were firing me I would eat the steak and then walk out I I would definitely wait a minute you would be the one firing you I would be the one firing if if they were to blow you out I would like I I would say I’d register slight disapproval SL that sounds good at least you got that slight in there I would just say really you know the you know the weird thing about this I that has now come full circle they were gonna replace singer with Travis TR Rogers as the producer to produce us and we both said to them that night we go look Travis doesn’t want to be a producer he’s been in Houston doing shows he wants to be on the air should be on the air and and they and they said no no no no for you guys he’ll produce and we went what are you doing and then finally so we walked out they got the message and when we uh after the lake the Lakers won game seven won the title and then they they took it back two days later our walk out work yeah exactly rest was history uh Laura you have a good weekend I did I had an eventful weekend I also went to a restaurant had a steak it was really good and big steak weekend for this a lot of steak huh 18 oz steak beautiful girl I did not eat half of that but it was really good and I also went to an Aventura concert last night right it was your anniversary yes yesterday was our anniversary and shout out to my man because he has no idea who Aventura is does not don’t know the any the language anything but he showed up to the concert he’s like you want to go and I’m like are you sure it’s our anniversary he’s like baby do you want to go I was like yes he’s like there you go that’s very nice it’s very nice so uh you can take another potential Lakers head coach off the board maybe two of them yeah uh Jason kid has has signed an extension and the Clippers come out and said they’re keeping up tyo so I think the Lakers are are going to have to scratch those two guys off the list unless there’s some backdoor mination going on with Lou that we don’t know yeah Jason kids now off the list but I think I think the obvious choice is well I’ll tell you I’ll tell you coming up next hey don’t miss the woba Grill shinano and cap 4:00 hour today on 710 Waba Grill Waba Grill wants you to make a

this problem that’s developing John and it is look between my eyebrows okay got a little cut there it looks like correct now watch when I do this it’s like I’m giving myself this little bruise by having this by furing your brow by furing my brow so all I can think is I I think I need to get BOTOX otherwise I’m going to have a permanent bruise right there why not you live in LA do you think I should I’ve got a permanent bruise right in the middle understand your eyebrows are giving you a bruise no this is giving me a bruise when I do this with my eyes when if you’re watching on YouTube when I do this with my eyes like they said to Tom Brady his face doesn’t move and he has no sense of humor cor exactly exactly so do you I need to get shot up so that I don’t have this little bruise in the middle of my face what going to happen you you live in Los Angeles it’s better to look marvelous than you feel marvelous yeah it’s true it’s true as long as you can still have an expression on your I will have a slight expression as long as you have some I’ll move some of my forehead little a little just a slight bit of forehead movement and go right ahead be like everyone else yeah why not uh by the way we had a lot of questions people are expecting us to go skydiving on Friday it actually got moved to Friday June the 7th is when we’re skydiving you’re good Ireland Friday June 7th I think we went through that yeah no we didn’t uh are you sure it was in all over text change yeah uh I knew I knew I could do it this Friday but I don’t know about I got to check oh no I think it’s only you and Greg oh boy oh boy look what you did oh boy all right uh so this is interesting uh we’re in the middle of another Lakers head coaching search the biannual coaching search happens about every two years or so uh now replacing Darin ham and uh Charles Barkley is on all of us media types here’s what he says I just want to say this about coaching anybody who thinks the reason the Lakers suck is because of Darin ham or the reason the sun suck is because of Frank vogle you don’t know what you’re talking about Frank vogle is a hell of a coast Darin ham is a hell of a coach trying to get his his career started but for all you punks idiots and on other networ Works who want to be media who want all the players to like y’all do your damn job the Lakers suck and the sun sucks because of the players has nothing to do with the coaches I feel better now yeah I I can tell looks like you are like getting that off your chest I did I hate it man you sit there like Darin ham needs to get fired Frank vog needs to get fired who put them teams together them trash ass teams put together need to get fired them guys are they they didn’t just all of a sudden suck as coaches people who put them team together to get they start packing up their stuff okay lot of interesting points in there this is good okay first of all I don’t think he’s wrong I think that the players should take a lot of the responsibility but let’s let’s live in reality um you can’t fire all the players you’re restricted which is why so many coaches and so many managers and so many NFL coaches get fired every year it’s kind ofes with the territory you are hired to be fired and in terms of firing people you can’t an owner as anybody will tell you and the owner at the end of the day is the one that is placing your the GMS are one step closer to the owner than players are so it’s harder to fire a GM too yeah it is very hard to fire a GM and I think it’s fair to look at what uh Rob pinka has done and said well the last two years have not paid out pan panned out um he was responsible for the Westbrook trade which you know the Lakers gave up young assets and for a player that didn’t work and didn’t fit and never fit but there’s a there’s an element to this that’s unique to the Lakers LeBron normally only signs short-term contract so he has leverage and he can always threaten to leave so I don’t know if this happened or not but I would assume LeBron and AD signed off on the Westbrook trade oh 100 not even went to Rob and said hey we want Russ get Russ to come play with us I mean I I’m guilty I thought it would work it didn’t but so does that take some of the onus off of Rob because you think LeBron and AD are the ones who for lack of a better term made that trade happen yeah LeBron Rich Paul and to a lesser degree Anthony Davis are really kind of running the franchise at this point LeBron wants to play there’s no question Leon refers to him as partner they have an equal say and all this stuff Partners but Rob will apparently Rob will not say to LeBron no Rob will not say no wait a minute wait a minute he did it with tyo a few years ago remember Le but that was Leon wanted LeBron wanted tyo yeah Rob said okay I’ll try and get him but the Lakers for whatever reason had decided Well that’s Genie three-year deal correct and we’re picking the assistants Ty said I’m out I and I don’t blame him yeah I don’t I don’t blame him there’s an example of saying no to LeBron yeah that’s true that’s true uh but I mean ultimately if you look at the roster I mean there’s a reason we’re talking about Tre young as a potential because Trey young is a clutch client and LeBron is with clutch and Rich Paul is you know in the heart of the organization to a great degree I mean this is uh don’t think that that Darin got fired exclusively because of the playoff miss it was that LeBron doesn’t believe Darin is a championship coach but the other thing about this clutch thing yeah it’s not it’s not like anybody that clutch represents is eventually going to land up on the Lakers but many do for example kcp was a clutch client and they put him in the Westbrook trade to get Westbrook who’s not a clutch client y so it it they they are making decisions outside of the clutch bubble but having said that I think LeBron and AD are and should be consulted on any moves like this I think that that’s you’re remember when the way back in the day when the Lakers who did they trade and didn’t tell Kobe um they I’m trying to remember but one of Kobe’s best friends on the team right got oh Karan Butler yeah he was like super close to Kobe and he worked close and then they just traded him one day and didn’t tell him and and afterwards Mitch cjack said that was a mistake we we we need to communicate better and Rob will come right out and tell you that he looks at ad and LeBron as part ERS he he consults with them on everything well then it’s a failure for Rob and LeBron right I think they equally and I and I think that LeBron’s got this Nifty way of somehow avoiding any not having his fingerprints on things well he the one thing you want to say about LeBron is if he keeps playing at an All-Star level and he did again this year y then you want to do whatever it takes 100% And so this is part of that but this is part of the LeBron experience of course yeah I mean he’s I mean you go back to D blat made it to the finals and was fired the next year sure sure that’s uh that’s been regular with uh Lebron all right going to do the wheel of questions coming up next it is Laura’s wheel today uh plus the Clippers are done and now they might wind up losing one of their franchise players that’s coming up next Mason and Ireland 710 ESPN all right did you know it can take up to 11

Cohen are you ready with that wheel Hit It Jack h Huh good well done had a good H well done all right guys you guys mentioned that I celebrated two years with my boyfriend and over the weekend we were having dinner very quiet dinner but we noticed there was a large party sitting next to us clearly celebrating a birthday okay by the end of the dinner the waiting staff all came out and you see the birthday person just like dropped the smile because they knew they were about to S happy birthday you know I hate that by the way happy happy birthday and the person the birthday person said oh no no no thank you so much it’s okay no need for that and the waiting staff continued to sing happy birthday even though they told him to stop so my question to you guys is would you as a waiter continue to sing or just honor and be like oh okay here’s your here’s your birthday cake the customer is always right Laura if the person if the customer asks you to stop singing I stop singing um I actually am in agreement the customer is always right even when they’re wrong that’s what I was taught uh from all the way back working at a grocery store all the way through a movie theater customer is always right customer is not always right however they’re not always right you should not actually treat them as if they’re already not you have to treat them as right they’re the customer that’s not not the right so how would you do it I would still let them I would stop as a waiter in this situation the customer is right but in most situations they’re usually wrong but yeah but even when they’re wrong if you’re care if you care about ongoing business you’ve got to treat them as right even when they’re wrong no what do you uh I worked in the industry for a long time I did not treat every customer as that they were right we treated every customer like they were right I need a situation so well wait a minute what’s an example of a time where you didn’t treat a customer like where the customer was wrong I was kind of crazy about it too so like I would someone left me a really bad tip I would walk would you chase him out the door I did I would chase him out the door and say hey what did I do wrong here like actually 100% oh that’s so weird 100% and they’re like oh you did nothing wrong like if I was your manager you’re out yeah I mean that’s fly right there chasing the customers out saying Hey where’s the rest of my tip no I didn’t say where the the rest of my tip I say hey I said a little short I said you gave me a really bad tip I’m just wondering what did I do wrong so I could do better next time and they said Oh no you’re great everything everything was fine I was like oh that’s just how much we tip yeah that’s just yeah so at that point I have to walk away but I do go chase after him because what the hell man yeah excellent waiter I don’t know that that necessarily would fly with the average restaurant manager fired for that chase them out the door chasing them out the door all right uh there you have that there is your wheel of oh Brian what about you uh you know honestly if the uh if you tell them to stop before they start singing I’m okay but if I’m already going yeah I’m going to finish yeah first not going to stop singing that’s the thing the other thing is I think it’s unreasonable to expect somebody to stop I mean it’s happy birthday to you it’s like okay you don’t want it I’m out now I now I just feel like I’m not complete though my thing is you go to the back and then finish it pause anyways my my whole thing is like if you Greg that was funny that was late but my thing is you also know that the waiting staff is probably being looked at by somebody so just let like just if oh thank you you know just let them do their thing what I hate is that when they do the birthday song and there apparently there are rights fees now for happy birthday to you so people make up birthday songs and it’s like happy birth birthday birthday ha ha birthday ha ha wait what I well no they make up they make up some make up a variation without actually happy birthday happy birthday to you birth birth to birthday yeah so they don’t get uh hit with a bill hit with a bill exactly hey by the way did you know that it’s time to make your vote count for the the biggest night of the year for espnla are you ready to vote have you voted yet is it time the mandes 3 go to espnla.com and click on the Mandy’s 3 voting page logo presented by the law offices of Joseph s Normand injury attorneys you can trust 213 747 2000 vote now at espnla.com we’ll do it live we’ll do it live the uh the Voting is now officially live and Ireland you know my one message as we get ready for uh all the mandes voting [ __ ] everybody has got to vote for the Mason and Ireland show that’s Brian cranon for show of the year uh the Voting is on and you know I discovered something amazing that Pepe can’t pronounce the word Focus no no I I’ve known that for a while each email address gets one vote okay so in other words like uh if you if you go and vote uh let’s say one of our regular listeners you only get to vote one time you can’t vote multi M times so there’s no Ballot Box stuffing right Bergman right that’s the way to do it and unlike what Ireland says the awards are not rigged they’re not in the slightest they they are rigged they are not they are not keep making this joke but it’s just not possible oh you don’t think it’s possible for Morales to rig the andies okay he absolutely well is you have to say it is possible I mean it’s possible he can absolutely do it a made up Award Show by us yeah yes but at the at the same time I mean do the math have you have you seen how much we didn’t hire ear young here do you have you seen how much Morales does do you think he has that much time to go onto the E yeah when it comes to thees are like his weddings since he’s often said he never mared is like his wedding that’s very good 100% not Happ yeah no I I I trust in the in the sanctity of the vote Tommy Lamb knows and at some point knows and that’s it the form of the no there is no firm we we did not hire an accounting The Firm of Tommy Jorge and Morales no Morales time no now so whose turn is it is it is the host of the year a rotating trophy or is it going to go to S MVP yeah or is it going to go if it goes to slee again will that mean it’s rigged that will mean it’s not rigged right if it goes to swa again well I think that most of the awards will go to Sedano and cap because the circle of trolls votes but we’ve always done really well yeah but they vote the circle of trolls votes well partly is your alienating people by calling them trolls the circle of trust is there actually a lot of Mason and Ireland people in yes and there are a lot of trolls yeah so they they vote and they vote for Sedano and cap so they’ll win most of the awards that’s my prediction see if I’m right yeah we will see GRE claims that it’s 100% honest and there will be nothing Vick so I’m calling it now Sedano and cap win all the major Awards all of them all of them but that won’t be Morales if someone else fixes it no what are you talking about won’t be Morales that’s morales’s favorite show but so what if he’s going to fix something why would he fix everything towards his favorite show right I mean the why wouldn’t he because then it would be obvious the bit of the Year why does he care if it’s obvious that’s not good content though that’s not good like he he wants the I’m goingon to I’m just going to go along with it fight I’m going to go along with it you vote for the Mason and Ireland show all right and by the way Jeremiah Whitten did that Dis Track last oh yeah he says circle of trolls in the that point is that where you got it wait do it Again Play it okay don’t get mad first of all John’s forehead starts at his NOS but it never really stops cuz it goes and it goes he’s a 1% now and he knows and it shows golf course at ter is the place that he goes Travis Rogers seems nice he’s an ill as hell see a person or just AI I can’t really tell apologies I think I just fell asleep but maybe it was cuz I’m listening to post game was sleep does morales even doing why see on the shows he pops up on lit Tuesdays and steps on the flows playing stupid yach rock songs that nobody knows but at least he makes fun of sidon’s ridiculous cloth C’s always pushing weird merch aside has a b Val ccle TRS avoid Jeremiah you and I is good by the way it’s great Jeremiah Whitten always comes through we’ve that’s only the second time we’ve played that thing that is second time should play it more we should incorporate into the abely fabric of the show all right so I wanted uh since I teased it I want to get to this one thing there are reports reports Ireland yeah that the Clippers and Paul George have circled a deal for a while now and and haven’t been able to consummate one which is making it seem as though uh and it’s uh it’s being reported that he is going to test the market I believe he will go to free agency he will test the market and he’ll land up resigning with the Clippers you think he’ll wind up back with the Clippers going to go down but I do think he’s going to go check it out and see what happens the the uh Sixers would love to have him yeah because he thinks that they you know he could put them over the top but I I think Paul George I think tyou comes back to him and Paul George comes back to play for the Clippers so it’s the same old same old it’s like first round exit Clippers what else can they do well I mean I they’ve got all the money in the world they you don’t think they can they could have they’re over the cap though so if Paul George walks it’s not like they get to replace that no but they elected to resign Kawai and that’s for less than the max Paul George is asking for the max I don’t think they want to give it to him and I think Philly will so why would Paul George leave a dime on the table I don’t think he’s going to I think the Clippers are going to Cave oh youx give them the max okay got it um well we’re going to find out I I think they’re going into a new building they don’t have a choice and by the way I just don’t think I don’t see how they get better you know maybe they won’t it’s it’s a bunch of descending players would you not say Kawai and Paul George are descending Bas Paul George I I would say is in his prime Kawai is a great player but the questions are about his health right um I think Zu OTS is ascending I think Terren man is ascending well but that yeah but those guys don’t have high ceilings you think they bring Russ back Maybe not maybe not I mean they seemed I don’t know they seem have although there was an article this last week that said uh getting him integrated into what they were doing is really really hard and they kept it very very private so it sounds like there was some effort involved in getting Russ to fit in there I always say Greg I don’t know if you noticed this whenever I watch Clipper games I think Russ while he play as well in Spurs and keep in mind Russ used to be my favorite player until the whole Laker thing blew up um I think Russ actually shoots them out of game sometimes all the time and I I don’t know if they have the guts to go to hard what is it what about Harden yeah Harden’s another one what do you do do you bring Harden and you bring all four of those guys back definitely a descend Harden is definitely a descending course he is he’s going to give you that one good game like he did when they won was it game five four five when he went when he went crazy hit like six of eight shots within inside the paint those little floaters he’ll give you one one of those a series but that’s it so Harden’s not the right guy anymore um all right coming up next Dodger returning Dodger uh Walker buer in the mound tonight what are your expectations we’ll talk about the big sweep over the weekend

weekday uh Bergman you and Marcus Grant and Parker Bell did a very very good job summarizing the great weekend uh and you do that every day right every day 9:30 to 9:55 on the espa YouTube channel is Walker buer on a pitch limit tonight Greg no he’s not I mean there’s he’s already had six rehab assignments so he’s all stretched out yeah but I wouldn’t expect him they might put it on like a pseudo pitch limit 75 you’re done I’d be surprised if he sees the end of the fifth inning yeah they wanted to stretch him out to 90 pitches down in uh trip you guys disappointed that Louisa rise got traded to the Padre you I the moment it happened I was like oh damn I was like that’s a really good that’s a really good trade and then he had four hits in his first game or five hits four hits in his first game he’s led the majors in hits a couple of times in his career yeah he was a batting he won the batting title a couple years ago yeah last year I think yeah I thought that he was batting 400 like Midway through the season now I read that the Padres gave up like their two best prospects in the deal and a lot of those baseball people the Buster onlyis of the world thought the padr Padres gave up too much is what they said but I I think instant makes them better I mean they’re kind of in win now mode aren’t they sure with all the contracts they got down there yep got to yep all right 2:00 call the day where are we going let’s go to Marcus in Aria Marcus you’re on 710 good afternoon good afternoon yo uh have you guys ever noticed like the Lakers players who go somewhere else always shoot better or they could score for some reason on the Lakers I I think the reason why is because because the Lakers are currently revolving their office around LeBron like as if he was still 20 25 years old where just let him cook put Shooters around him X Y and Z so the coaches come in and run that same offense and think it’s going to get better but it’s not because LeBron can’t do that for a full game those players go other places because and score because they get uh plays ran for them um to get them cooking first every time DLo went off was when he was able to to run the office through him but then every time he sat around and waited for LeBron to give him the ball he kind of was cold I just think nobody’s talking about that so you can replace the coach but if you don’t change the mind frame then we’re stuck again yeah well they they do replace the coach often and it doesn’t always fix the problem so I think that’s a a really fair assessment of what’s going on and I think also look people need to wrap their heads around that the Lakers by all accounts are going to do whatever it takes to keep LeBron James and that’s going to include an extension that could include uh drafting bronny James at 55 or signing him as an undrafted free agent or whatever that happens to be they’ll they’ll do whatever they have to do uh to keep LeBron James and when you have LeBron James on your roster you have to know that his fingerprints are everywhere and in return you he has to play like an all NBA player and this year he did yep so as long as he does that then the partnership works all right let’s go to Mario and Hawthorne different subject Mario good afternoon good afternoon fellas good afternoon hey uh first off before I forget I just wanted to say to L you are awesome you rock um uh you’re a great addition to the show uh you have great radio voice and I value your opinion um so just wanted to throw that in there really quick very nice but I’m calling today because uh mace Ireland you guys are wrong about customer service all right tell us why I’m a customer service man manager for an online company and customer service is not easy I do a lot of hiring and I have to weed out people that think that they can do customer service because they think anybody can do customer service but they can’t right and so one of the questions I ask them is how do you tell a customer they’re wrong and people that have never done customer service they always whip out the old oh the customer is always right ha and that’s how I know they’ve never actually done customer service and that’s it that they I’m not hiring that person this has worked for me for a few years now um and I’m sorry but the customer is not always right and when they’re not right you have to know how to tell them they’re wrong without telling them they’re wrong so what do you what do you say how how do you tell a customer they’re they’re totally in the wrong you just have to tell them hey I’m sorry if that’s what you interpreted or I’m sorry if that’s what how you thought usually have to let them down easy you can say stuff like you know what other customers have made that same mistake or a lot of people make that mistake and you know here’s how we can fix this and here’s what we do and you just focus on the solution at that point but you can’t let them know that they’re always right or the customers are going to walk all over you okay uh thank you um Mario that does not jive with my experience when I own movie theaters if somebody walked out of the theater and said I don’t really like that movie I’d say all right here’s a past come back and see one you like what if they said like that movie was just screaming and yelling and yelling at you like would you still do it uh yeah I would give them a pass to come back and see another watch the whole they watched the whole movie and they came out all I want is all I want is the Goodwill for them to come back C you’re not you you’d be a terrible customer service representative I was a wonderful customer think about what Mason did in that scenario guys yelling and scream and he hated the movie no no he’s not but he picked the movie Nobody wants him to go right but he’s unhappy with his experience so Mason says here’s a p you’re wrong too here’s a pass to come back and see another mov so what does Mason get he gets for they buy popcorn they buy Cokes they had a good experience with Mason so they saw a better movie the next time and they kept coming back Greg tell me how you would have handled this a couple years ago I went and saw my I we were Lakers playing in Philadelphia and I rented a car from a car service called kite K okay it said they’ll come to you and bring you the car so they come to me bring me the car I drive it to my uncles and I park it on the street out in front of the hotel and very clearly the street sign says um that it’s 2hour parking starting at 9:00 a.m. so I know I have to get the car out there by 9:00 a.m. sure okay 8:30 I go down to get the car it’s gone it got towed the guy the TR the tow truck driver jumped the gun all right but I took pictures of the sign I took pictures of where I went and I called kite and kite said so what they to it you got to pay for it you got to pay I wouldn’t have done that you were you were right and I said no no let me send you this picture and I’ll show you this was a mistake by the tow truck driver and the guy says doesn’t matter you get the car towed you got to pay for it so I’ve never used kite again but you were in the right in this situation like imagine if this let’s say it’s the movie theater and it it’s about whether the the customer is being a jerk for the most part so he’s in the movie theater he’s throwing things he’s on he didn’t like the movie but the whole thing about this is about bad is about bad customer service like a bad customer someone that’s wrong when a customer is wrong in this situation A customers not wrong he didn’t like the movie so he has to have done something doesn’t have to refund his money I don’t have to still right no yeah okay is the customer still right even though he’s throwing stuff at the scen he’s getting arrested disturbing another person’s experience right was under okay in the scenario that Mason described he’s under no obligation to give this guy’s money back Laur to your point he watched the whole movie the movie sucked everybody who’s ever been to the movies knows once you decide to go to the movie if you don’t like it tough luck yeah this guy decided to make an issue out of it and Mason could have gone Sur it’s our policy you saw the whole movie um I’m sorry you had a bad experience but we don’t refund people that see the whole movie you easily could have done that and people would have sided with you sure he he created a win-win he said to the guy you know what come on back I’m sorry you didn’t like it yep come back and see the next one and buy some popcorn and soda while you’re what happens when he does it again and thenon pulls the plug on him says you know it’s the second time you’ve done it I’m sorry but maybe you better go to another mov always right in your scenario customer always right you you need need to manage each situation well that’s my point you just made my point but but you don’t manage them all you just say you’re wrong no absolutely you would have given that guy that guy who came to you the guy that came to you and says I didn’t like the movie you were going to say tough luck no no refund I think it’s because people take advantage of you doing that cuz I I was a manager at a fast food joint right and people would be like oh I I ordered this they just didn’t hear me because they wanted to get whatever for free right you know and sometimes you’re like okay you know what we’ll fix it just get it quick in and out but then you would be like same person or people like they hear and now they’re doing it each situation is different it’s only my point all right didn’t you watch Fast Times at rgm high course I did when Judge Reinhold yells at the customer who wanted a refund for his breakfast what happens to Judge Reinhold didn’t he get fired yes yeah give the guys money and let him go and by by the way when when you’re involved in a situation like this there’s a there’s a phrase called cost of goods what was my cost of goods on handing somebody a movie pass by the way Mason’s going to show the movie at 4:00 anyway whether there’s anybody in the theater or not why not get somebody in there and but that’ll buy popcorn you mis you you mismanaged this whole thing Greg we come to this place you’re taking one small situation magic Greg we come to this place for magic yeah apparently this guy doesn’t he’s coming to get as many free things as possible Right but Mason won because he bought popcorn that was marked up by 700% comes back again the next thing and says I didn’t like that movie do I sell more popcorn wait if you do it if they get the ticket but they have to spend x amount that’s no no no I don’t put they don’t have to spend it but they’re going to yeah they will it’s not Mr Classic on YouTube says it’s the best what so that’s like saying the Lakers suck tonight and lost can I get my money back for the ticket well it’s right it’s not different no it is it is different it is different how is it different it’s different because Lakers tickets are expensive and movie tickets are all the same price doesn’t matter I did not like my experience I want my money back what the Lakers don’t have have capacity to bring somebody back for another game cuz the tickets are already sold as a movie theater you got all kinds of capacity you are both right we come to this place come to this place for magic magic Greg you have no magic I have no magic no magic I hate Joy like Mason yeah no magic no magic that’s not my game by the way what not not liking Joy I’m projoy ha I’m Pro Joy you’re anti- jooy no yeah you’re about half and half give me give me an incident where I’m anti- jooy every Halloween well Halloween is stupid wait you like Disneyland fun yeah like Disneyland we’re allowed to have one we’re all to have one holiday we don’t like Disneyland is great for people not me but I know people that love it what about Christmas who I love Christmas Christmas starts on October on November the 1st that’s when I put up my tree every year what do you think of people that leave their Christmas lights up until March they’re lazy losers no joy right there yeah all right that was fun you guys are all wrong uh we’re all wrong honestly everybody was wrong except the customer customer something happened over the weekend in the NBA that drives me freaking crazy oh no I I

free ziprecruiter.com free Ireland the OG of LA Sports Radio I’m not going to do a nambi pambi interview well you you do nambi pambi interviews all the time we’re here each weekday 12:55 p.m. till 3:55 p.m. you don’t want to miss a moment yo the only thing that did was make you look stupid more of Mason and irand on 710 ESPN so Ireland I’m in my summer shred right now how’s that going you know I’m I’m definitely cutting I’m reducing uh what I’m eating I’m working out like a crazy person I was there all weekend long doing cardio I’m back thought you were taking weekends off no I decided I was going to go cuz it’s a summer summer shred I want to look good with my shirt off it’s the goal how much do you weigh now uh 1929 okay okay it’s not about weight by the way too it’s it’s about muscle correct it’s my and I mean I’m I’m I’m definitely do you feel partly shredded I I feel slightly shredded slightly shredded slightly shredded is is slightly better lowkey shredded low key shred okay that’s put well describe it uh so Ireland uh this first of all we got to say Anthony Edwards like one of the great young players in the NBA right now but he had an incident over the weekend in game one with the Nuggets all right explain this to me the NBA is kind of having a Renaissance all the young players and all the young teams are advancing to the finals it’s exciting it’s new Anthony Edwards is the brightest star of this new wave of people of this sheay gilis Alexander Anthony Edwards movement all right these guys Jamal Murray all these guys in their 20s yes that are the you know Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown all these dudes so huge game in Denver on Saturday yep Minnesota upsets Denver okay and Anthony Edwards goes off right plays out of his mind drops 40 on the Nuggets he scores on Reggie Jackson and he just stares at him y doesn’t say a word y just stares at him yeah Courtney Kirkland the official gave him a technical foul I I’ve always said refs are too what did he do though stared at him like this he made a basket yeah and just stared at him like I got you really didn’t say a word now it’s not just me saying this Reggie Miller and Jamal Crawford were working the game and listen to what they said after Courtney Kirkland teed up Anthony Edwards working his way in priz is wa for two pretty play a 9 to one Minnesota oh come on man no no way way no Courtney no Courtney I’m sorry man we’re in the second round of the playoffs emotions are always going to be higher here’s the move by Anthony Edwards man you got to that’s just a look come on that’s a bad technical that’s awful you can’t celebrate somebody for being a dog then we call a technical on a stair down like what man come on man what does this game come to didn’t say a word didn’t say a word now to the NBA’s credit they rescinded the technical well it’s cuz it was stupid long after but that could have decided the game sure uh the Wolves won by I think eight and you know if they would have won by if the Nuggets would have won by one we’d all be saying what the hell yeah I would sit that ref for the rest of the playoffs I’d say you know what go think about what you did come back next year now why do you think Adam Sil allows all this stuff you well why does obviously didn’t because he resed it right but why does he allow all the stuff that you hate he because he’s trying to get the games more under control he doesn’t want players yapping and yelling andu but how’s that stare part of keeping control game The Ref made a mistake I mean people make mistakes I’m not saying Courtney Kirkland should be fired he’s a veteran ref I’d send him for the rest of the playoffs you can’t stop the game on that you can’t it could have determined a playoff game you can’t do it I don’t understand Michael talks about this all the time when he and I do games when Michael was there and players would yell at the refs the refs would yell back right they’d say shut up and play you big baby or shut the f up and then they would just keep going why are we okay number one I don’t like that they stopped the game and number two I don’t like that they gave Denver points for not Anthony Edwards just stared at him that’s all he did what are we doing what why are there so many technical fouls stop it Adam Silver should get with the competition committee over the summer and say look new policy moving forward don’t stop the game unless you absolutely have to before you blow your whistle think about it do I need to call a hand check 75 ft away from the basket no I can yell at the player right take your hand off him or I’m going to call it yeah and then we keep playing why is this so hard why are they not instructed on this why why where is the training what how does a guy who’s trained as an NBA official and has gone through I’m sure seminars and study and all that how is he still screwing this thing up because they’re all on power trips it’s Barney F I’m in charge okay but if you’re in a power trip there’s no place for you as an NBA official correct but and and so this guy should be out of theb umpires are worse right well they get we we see they’re they’re graded but because of the Union that’s the pro the problem is the union the problem is the union we sound like a political show now unions the problem the reason why you can’t get rid of uh Angel Hernandez is because of the Union correct but you know what you know what they’re going to do to make up for him they’re going to put in an electronic strike so he can’t screw it up they will overcome they’re going to outsmart the union yes they will but the NBA very quietly grades their officials every game and the bottom 5% get weeded out yeah and they bring in new people every year if I get an NBA officiating job which is the and it’s not easy I know a lot of these guys right it’s not easy it’s a hard job stop calling technical fouls unless you absolutely have to I’ve said it before mace if I was an official to get a technical foul you’d have to put your hands on me right you can you can MF me till the day is long and I’ll MF you right back and if you keep talking I’m going to say you keep talking and I’m going to tee you up this is your last warning these guys don’t even give them any conversation back right they say Anthony Edwards stared at Reggie Jackson when he’s having his best game of his career and they tea him up in a lot of ways his coming out party right a lot of here here we are in the Western Conference all of a sudden you’re playing the Champs people were paying attention stop it yeah stop calling technical fouls for no reason it’s stupid and Anthony Edwards is a great player let him play let them show emotion like Reggie and Jamal said this is an emotional game it’s the second round of the playoffs we love what’s wrong with the little trash talking what’s wrong with the little star down if it doesn’t get physical let it go so so stupid stop it yeah you got you got call Charles Barkley I feel better now yeah good I’m glad you were able to vent uh tell you what coming up next for you George Clooney allows himself a comfort meal every week really and

listeners for that if you ever miss a moment get your feel any time just search Mason in Ireland wherever you get your [Music] podcast all right Ireland here’s where I got my money tonight you ready yes Denver – 6 and2 at home against Minnesota don’t like it you don’t like it I love you thinka going to win let me ask you guys something about this I know I think they may cover the spread cover the but let me ask you guys all something all right so you could argue that this game tonight is the biggest game in Minnesota Timberwolves franchise history they’ve pulled off a shocking upset if they win tonight they go back home up 20 yep Rudy Gober Greg your favorite guy overrated oh boy his girlfriend or his wife I’m not sure if they’re married gave birth to their first child yesterday congratulations good for them congratul or maybe it was this morning I’ll have to read up on it goar says he might make it back in time for the game he might make it back I think the game’s at like 5 o’clock tonight well you guys are dads so you’re obviously cool with this right but here’s the thing um the baby boy was delivered this morning okay so it was this morning yep everybody’s fine you would think in in modern travel that if it was this morning Minnesota’s not that far from Denver he gets on a plane he’s good would it have been unreasonable for the Timberwolves to say Rudy we pay you whatever would they pay him $50 million a year there are very few things that are if this was a regular season game sure completely different situation we would of course support you 100% we desperately need you yeah Nicole yic is the best player in the world you’re the one guarding him if we make sure your wife and your child are 100% safe can you stay in Denver and playing this game right would that have been an unreasonable ask by the wolves in other words don’t go to the birth oh no you I think you’ve got to go to the birth what that’s completely unreasonable yeah you got to go to the birth so if the birth was today if it was at 2:30 he just misses the game tonight yes yeah don’t you I would try to make the other argument but I’ll get killed cuz I don’t have kids and I don’t know what I’m talking about app what if it was game seven does that matter does anything matter it’s whatever he wants what Rudy goar wants right but let’s say he wants to do both he wants to play in the game but he wants to be there for the birth of his child if Rudy goar wants to be there for the birth of his child it’s game seven it’s happening as game Seven’s happening and he wants to be at the birth of child let let him go 100% you has that ever happened I’m sure it no the only thing I can think that’s comparable to that would be Sandy kofax didn’t pitch in the world series on the Sabbath right on uh yam kapor uh right doesn’t someone miss the Super Bowl for birth John I I know we’ve talked about they could miss it but I don’t think they did right I and and I think it’s incredibly important that you’re there for the birth of your children I was there for the birth of my son I think it’s great I’m fascinated by the question though yeah that because you don’t know what’s going to happen John I I’m fly aware of that but is there is there any circumstance by okay let’s if game seven NBA Finals Go’s girlfriend goes into game seven NBA final doesn’t matter doesn’t matter no matter what it is game seven of the N finals no I think you got the premise of your of your question was would it be okay for the team to ask the team can never ever ever ask 100% absolutely not you can ask him no employer whatever could say no I don’t know if an employer is even allowed to say you’re not allowed to attend your K the Minnesota Timberwolves could never tell him you can’t go to go would it be okay how about this he can choose to stay would it be unreasonable unreasonable for the Wolves to have anticipated this and say okay you can’t fly when you’re um when you’re so many amount of months pregnant but if we make you comfortable yeah will you come to Denver and have the baby in Denver or is that just a ridiculous overreach by the team I mean you’re putting I don’t know how much it works but I don’t think I think you’re put you give Rudy and his girlfriend a chance to say no it’s completely up to them but look you’re you’re an incredibly important part of our team this is the best team we’ve ever had in the history of our franchise and we just upset the defending champions in game one what can we do to make your wife comfortable to make you comfortable and to have you play in that game yeah I mean I think or is it nonstarter to even bring it up I I think it should be brought up I think there should be I think there should be options you could do it this way you could do it that way you can help us here you can help us I think it’s game seven of the NBA Finals the mother doesn’t care though it really depends get a baby and a r whatever the mother wants both things can be true you can make her comfortable and make sure the baby is safe and have him play in that game should you try and do it there’s so many women that want the a specific doctor they have their doctor we bring we’ll bring your doctor in they got like a d well then it’s over but if let’s say the doctor understands and he says then then we come you can make that work then absolutely F and by the way mother that doctor women have a certain obstetrician that they want to go to and that’s the person how about how about this one would it have been unreasonable to induce yesterday yes why because a lot of women don’t want to do that they want things to happen naturally so my thing is if it’s the couple so his wife or girlfriend or you know right significant other if they talked about it and they together said hey these are the scenarios that can play out AB BC D all the whatever and then these are what I’m comfortable with and they themselves together as a unit decided what could potentially happen and she’s okay cuz I already like if I ever have a kid I told chrisan you’re going to be there suffering with me somehow right so You by way by the way this happened with Scotty sheffler a couple of weeks ago at at a major go was it the master yeah he said he was going to leave if she wented into lab different when it’s a team sport because because what I do affects all of you yes I’m taking you guys you’re diminishing your team in a critical game I’m I’m taking you guys all I’m hurting you by not being there I agree but also let’s just you know my whole thing is I listen I feel like all of us in this room and all of us in the station we’re team players right right there there’s a lot that we do Co cohesively that Mak things run but at the end of the day those are life moments you can’t get back and at the end of the day if ESPN’s like hey we don’t got jobs for you you got to go and then you’re like crap I just missed the birth of my kid like that’s think there’s a difference between insisting you be there and trying to accommodate everybody which is what I’m arguing would it be reasonable to try and accommodate both scenarios in other words do everything you can to get Gober or is is the birth of a child so sacred that you can’t even ask you’re you’re a father what do you say you can’t even ask the question you you’ve got a kid what would what do you say I I think Lisa would tell me to go play see I also think that I would actually I would expect my woman woman to say you go win a ring expect what if she doesn’t if she says you what I’m saying is I’m trying to make it more basic than that is it even okay to ask I think to ask is okay but the team shouldn’t ask yeah I mean can’t can’t they give like a private jet and fly where they I mean all that stuff do any of thatle no you can’t if you’re certain amounts PR it’s not safe to F I’m saying now well I think he’s going to be there tonight I think he’s gonna play tonight yeah and I think he’s probably gonna play great well the baby was born in the morning he luckily was baby was born in the morning you can be there and but also if he decided to stay in Minnesota and not go play in this game yeah I would not fault them in the slightest um I don’t think you can but fans would well fans are fans that’s fine but as a parent as a father I would not I would never give him hell for that be like great you’re staying with your kid I I totally understand that but if he does go back fine you you were there you saw the baby and you flew out and made it there in time cool but if he stays you can’t give him crap for it I’m not going to give him crap very interesting dilemma but you know it is like certain people will kill us for even bringing this up will they oh yeah to bring it up one one thing um one thing that I really enjoyed about that Tom Brady roast last night Y is nobody worried about getting cancelled well no because it’s comedy comedy falls into a different category than the rest of life I don’t know a lot of comedians have been canceled you know I mean a lot of comedians have been it’s not for what they say so much on stage it’s for what they do off stage yeah I only I only think of which comedians have been cancelled um well I mean you’d have to go back and look I mean Louis CK is probably most famous but that was different that was actually with women and all kinds of stuff I know a woman that was in a Louis CK situation right well you know what’s so weird about that which made him different from like Harvey Weinstein because I read up on all this stuff is it was a disgusting thing that Louis CK did but you know he always asked permission I don’t know yeah it was really weird yeah but I’m just saying in a in a it doesn’t make it any less offensive but I’m just saying in the thing I loved about that roast was that there are people that that because of the climate we live in would have said well I can’t go there or I can’t I even thought they wouldn’t go near Jazelle because I that Bray would they went at everybody the only thing that that was talk Robert calling around the floor of a massage parlor that was the only thing that Brady pulled the plug on but everything else was no and by the way that did not even need to have the plug pulled on it it’s like everybody’s getting hammered why wouldn’t craft get hammered for his thing so you know that Pepe montia saw and asked us in a group text whether we liked or not and he said it was just okay because it was too me we did it was too mean uh it was too mean roast I love that it was to you know what’s funny so’s been roasted I’ve been roasted it’s so much fun wouldn’t the perfect Target for a roast be Pepe montia oh God fantastic oh no he’d be so offended if he doesn’t if he thinks they were mean at the Brady oh they’re so mean to Tom Brady sounds what about a roast of Michael Thompson oh that would actually be very good would he sit for of course he would here here’s the thing about Michael we already roast him every time he walks into the building and he’s I don’t think this is a word but you’ll know what I mean he’s unoffendable yeah he is you can’t say anything offend him alth you got to say when we were getting roasted we got hammered pretty good right um and we we rolled with it you got to roll with it I mean I thought it was all really funny you and I aren’t easily offended Michael is completely unoffended I mean you can’t say anything that would embarrass him right so but Brady was great I mean he keep he hung in for all of it and at the end he came back at everybody yes he did you know I I never thought that thing would be that good yeah it was very very funny if you haven’t seen it it’s on Netflix and it’s uh streaming and is really really funny the one guy that just killed me was the guy that just went what he walked down a row of the podcas who I’d never heard of before yeah what was that guy’s name he just obliterated people going down the row uh oh uh hinchcliff HFF HFF I don’t know where that guy’s from I’ve never seen him before but man he destroyed people he has a a podcast called kill Tony

Mason and Ireland 710 ESPN e e e e e e 1 p.m. and yes it’s around 2:45 in the Southland you know what we do each week day at 245 was up fo and we’ve been very excited that was up fo is made possible by our friends at dos ombr in fact we’ve got a special guest voice take it away guest voice what’s up fool is brought to you by dos om mcal it’s fate it’s friendship it’s mcal do ombr look at that how do I follow that I don’t so I simply say take it away corporate Greg thanks Morales or so Jimmy Butler the other day when the um the heat were playing the Celtics tweeted out if I was playing Boston would be at home New York damn sure would be at home what that mean to me Heart come on man well uh Pat Riley was asked about that this morning and he responded in this way you know for him to say that you know I thought is that Jimmy trolling or is that Jimmy serious you know if you’re not on the court plane against Boston or on the court plane against New York Knicks you should keep your mouth shut and your criticism of those teams Jimmy Butler has is under contract for next year and a player option in the year after that he’s up for an extension what are the Heat going to bring back Jimmy Butler I think they are he also said at that same press conference Greg that he will not entertain trades for Butler under any condition uh he’s the perfect leader for that Miami team but I agree with Riley mace I think if you don’t play in a series you’re not allowed you look like an idiot if you come out and say hey if I played we would have won well why aren’t you playing right right yeah I thought it it’s a it’s a terrible look to uh knowing that you didn’t play in the series to say I would have tilted it one way or the other as for Jimmy Butler his now he is eligible for an extension is that what’s going on with Jimmy Butler yeah uh he’s got one more year after this year and then he’s got a player option the year after that but he’s eligible for an extension this year and that’s why they asked Riley would you rather than resign Jimmy would you just trade him and he said that’s a conversation we have to have but we’re not trading him not trading him so they’re going to make him an offer to extend and we’ll see where it goes what’s up F all speaking of the Celtics Jason Tatum was in the news last week for uh posting a new YouTube video CU he has a personal YouTube account that has only three videos on it that he started in high school and last week he added a how to tie a shoe video okay and the caption just simply hey I’m Jason Tatum I’m going to teach you how to tie a shoe I don’t know it’s kind of cheesy I not that like to knock that he’s putting out these YouTube videos I know one of the most famous YouTube accounts is actually like a single dad put put are doing like how to do household things things like that changer oil and stuff like that right right sure oh what do you think though Jason Ryan you are underselling how important it is to properly tie your shoes for a basketball player matter of fact Greg did you ever go to wooden Camp when you were a kid no I wish that was super cheap and easy to get to the first thing you do at John wooden’s basketball camp back in the day is coach you get all the campers in a gym and Coach wooden puts on a seminar on how to tie your shoes and how to tighten the laces so you don’t get blisters because if you get blisters you you get sideline we’re just talking about guys missing games that’s what that’s about I mean baset I’m watching the video right now shoes to basketball players are a very big deal which is why so many of them have shoe deals by the way right right but that’s what that’s about I mean it’s not like you or I we don’t think twice about lacing up our shoes or tying our shoes or doing whatever but the reason it’s important for a basketball player is you can get blisters and it can sideline you he literally is showing well no I think he’s mocking this whole thing John I don’t think he’s not really seriously showing people how to he’s just it’s a total goof he’s not doing anything related what’s wrong with being goofy uh no oh no I don’t have a problem with it but I he’s not like showing how you lace up uh lace up a shoe for a game he’s just like T literally showing people how to two most important things when you’re a basketball player two pairs of socks not one because you need double thickness so you don’t get blisters you got to pull your hike your socks all the way up and tighten your shoelaces as tight as they’ll go and that way you don’t get blisters okay there you go my public service announcement for the day very nice all right guys so keeping the basketball thing here going uh per sham shamia there is a mutual interest between the magic and Klay Thompson do you guys believe that clay will be a good fit down in Magic I got a very weird feeling that clay has played his last game for the Warriors um I think I think so I think that Joe lob is a bottom line guy only cares about numbers I think he’s going to try and lowball clay and I think a team like Philadelphia Orlando or the Knicks that could really use a shooter is going to pay him and I think he plays somebody else next year uh 100% agree uh I think he’s going to go somewhere else I think they realize especially when they look around the league and see these young and ascending teams that uh they should play for the future and not for the past and in for them you know they’ve got uh they’ve got kaminga they’ve got that psky kid um they have found a way to add young players where they can Moses Moody’s a good player a youth movement so I I think that’s probably the direction they’re moving right now and it’s probably the right thing for them yeah I I think Clay is out of there Laura to answer your question yeah what’s up F no way to get him here I don’t think we have room to pay I mean we’d have to we’d have to we’d have to shuffle the roster pretty seriously do you really want him well he’d be perfect for us because LeBron and AD draw double teams and he could just sit at the three-point line and bomb threes but I don’t think we can pay him no and I also don’t I don’t think he makes sense from this perspective I think you want somebody younger I want I think you want somebody that is prime at least uh to build around somebody who’s uh a guy that could actually take the Baton from LeBron when LeBron does would love to play here this was his Boyhood team growing up but I I just don’t think the numbers were what’s up F I got one more on the basketball front for you guys here so ESPN bet has updated their odds for the Western Conference champ okay the favorite to make it out and has now Minnesota jumped from 900 to 215 after the first game Victory so they’re now the favorites they are now the favorite yeah or faes to get to the finals to come out of the West they’re still behind Denver but their odds jump from 900 to 215 to get out of the West so they’re the second second fa now yes well they should be that’s my question here are they the only team left in the west that can’t take down Denver Dallas is good I Dallas Dallas Oklahoma City can take down Dallas but maybe they can yeah but I wouldn’t count Dallas completely out I if I by the way you got one team of those four that you got to marry yourself too I think I’m taking Minnesota at this point with with the one to come out of the West to come out of the West so so the entire Mason Fortune has is is on the line you got to take Minnesota Denver OKC or Dallas Denver you’re taking Denver about you I think I’m going Minnesota too especially after game one uh I’m taking Denver still Laura Denver here’s the thing Jamal Murray’s not healthy you can tell watching him play I think after tonight we’ll know if he can summon something I mean he did it against the Lakers a couple of times but he’s not right something’s going on there I don’t know if it’s his ankle it’s his well he didn’t have a good series against us really I mean he had he had two really big shots at the end of games but he shot I think he shot 31% from the field during that Series so I think Denver wins tonight they they kind of have to but I think Minnesota wins that series what’s up F all right guys one more okay on here so Anthony Edwards has been getting compared to Michael Jordan a lot and he spoke out and said I want want it to stop he’s the greatest of all time and I can’t be compared to him do you guys appreciate that he’s asking to stop the comparison he can ask they’re not going to stop I I I saw three more people compare him to Jordan today yeah um he can ask all he once but people aren’t going to stop they did they did it to Kobe too there’s there’s nothing wrong with humility there’s nothing wrong with saying you know what he’s the greatest and I’m just out here pushing um so I I think that humility is is actually a very good look for uh Anthony Edwards yeah and and to answer your question Laura they people aren’t going to stop they they media is Media they’ll say whatever the hell they want um all right uh so don’t forget the Mandy’s voting is officially open

of the weather oh yeah I was that’s the concert house come house come what’s wrong with that that’s a strange saying house come how come it’s a normal expression I’m sure I’ve used it a million times on the show how’s come what does it stand for how is how come how come yeah you’ve never heard that how come not how’s come how’s come is how is come how’s come how make perfect sense to me yeah you’re just saying that you just want to be on his side because how is come is why would everyone to be on his side we’re on the opposite sides of everything it just makes sense yeah it’s opposite me that’s why you’re going with him house come does not make sense house come does make sense talking I agreed with you earlier in the show let me just let me just ask you Laura Laura did you understand

uh by the way you know what also makes perfect sense it’s uh 5 o’l cppy Hour uh brought to you by Tito’s Handmade Vodka simple smooth every sip as easy as the last Tito’s Handmade Vodka tastes as good with tap water as it does with your favorite mixer don’t miss the Tios vodka 5:00 cppy hour this afternoon at 5: here on 710 ESPN all right so I don’t know if you heard this or not but it’s buzzing around the internet like crazy uh what Kendrick Perkins said about LeBron did you hear this iron here it is at the end of the day man I I hate to say it but I believe this in my soul right now I wish LeBron James will retire not because I don’t want to see more of LeBron James not because I don’t appreciate LeBron James but I honestly believe deep down inside the more LeBron James continue to play the game of basketball the more it’s going to hurt his legacy and the more is going to continue to hurt his goat argument because long as he steep foot on that floor every single season it’s going to be expectations of him of winning a championship and when he don’t do that we’re going to be looking at him and saying well what happened now so now you’re looking at the Lakers they’re most likely going to resign LeBron James back this upcoming season the coach that you bring in if they don’t make it to the uh finals or the Western Conference Finals who’s going to be the blame then all right so I could not be more opposed to what Kendrick Perkins is saying well he’s just flat wrong and I can I can tell you why so you mentioned that I went and saw seal and sting those guys have enough money they could both retire yeah right I’m glad they didn’t sure they’re fun they’re entertaining LeBron is entertaining he makes the games more fun also more exciting he’s one of the better players on her team and this this contention by people like perk that say he’s going to affect his legacy steady the history of sports it Shaq played for five teams at the end of his career what that do to his legacy AEM elijuan finished his career in Toronto how many teams did Steve Carlton pitch for right none of that affected their leg you’re even talking about guys that I watch Michael Jordan play for the Wizards you’re talking about guys who sort of bounced around and flamed you know what LeBron James is still I I mean he’s past the top of the mountain but he’s still pretty high up there ma does anyone ever talk you know Michael Jordan’s considered the greatest of all time does anyone ever talk about going to the Wizards and how it ruined his legacy what is perfect only when we have a conversation like this yeah but but I mean and Willie me wiie May is limping around the birth today oh is it 93 today oh my God my my Dad loved Willie ma nobody talks about Willie Mays at at the end of his career with the Mets stumbling around in the Outfield when we this conversation right but but I’m saying that’s not his legacy oh no not at all and and LeBron’s Legacy is locked it doesn’t matter he’s having he had a great season he had a spectacular season it’s not as though he’s in great decline I mean his skills at all his skills have not diminished um so I I don’t understand the argument that he should retire what do you got BC Maman is on ESPN right now he’s he’s moved over to the Wolves nuggets series now the Lakers have been eliminated and and he is reporting that Rudy goar is questionable tonight after the birth of his child that he may not make it okay so I’ll be I he’s got to make it right the game doesn’t tip in for another two hours the kid was born this morning yeah I think he’s GNA make it I think he’s gonna make it no we were talking about the Tom Brady roast uh last night which was if you didn’t see it everybody got just crushed during this I mean it was it was awesome now we mentioned that I had a roast and we actually have a couple clips from Bergman do you want to set these up so here is Momo at the roast I believe she’s talking about Ireland we’re here at the beautiful Commerce Casino and to be honest I like casinos uh but I’ve never done all that well here I mean I’ve been here like a few hours and I’ve already lost a hundred bucks because like an idiot I bet that John arand would be funny see that’s good that’s good yeah seriously though John John’s an in inspiration to me he’s such a hard worker he hosts a radio show 5 days a week he calls Laker games and then on the weekends he look at the Laker fans here I like it oh my God they’re proud again they’re proud again and then you know John hosts the the show five days a week he calls Laker games and then on the weekend he drives up to yosity where his forehead works as half doome oh was I allowed to go there I don’t know if Ramona has a roast I’m going first oh me too I want a spot in that you know I just shouldn’t make fun of men for their hairlines it’s genetic I know they can’t help it besides there are so many other things to make fun of the camany brothers for yeah she was good she was good she was at she roasted both of us yes she did well apparently she roasted me twice but Ramona’s for whatever reason Ramona likes to roast me like when she she roast always roast you like she’ll say stuff and we’ll you know how you know how when we push the right right we do not want to be associated with some of the things when she makes it big after clipped debuts and we have the Momo roast yes you and I will be the stars of that show Absolutely now you have another clip there is another clip and this one’s from OA Jackson Jr mhm right he’s got the numbers he’s been repping Los Angeles for years he’s been holding us down for years in that number one spot he’s definitely got the the awards and and the stats but your lowkey bad luck you know you were at the both World Series we lost those you were at the Super Bowl we lost that you were at the Rams Buccaneers game this year and we lost that and not to mention you were just at this last Dodger game and we lost that so I started to think he’s got the stats he’s got the accolades but he seems to be bad luck in big games you must be the Clayton Kershaw of 710 a.m. man oh man Kershaw taking a Kershaw shot wow swing and a miss swing Miss there you go there is OA Jackson yeah that was a fun night uh Pepe says by the way we could totally roast him and his feelings won’t be hurt I don’t believe him I think he he would be hurt he says you can’t hurt my feelings I’ve already gone through a lot of and he makes the poop emoji in my life smiley face so he says he’s already gone through it nothing we could say and frankly we kind of do roast Pepe every Thursday okay would it be more fun or yeah exactly Greg would it be more fun to roast Pepe Momo or Michael God they’re all so good I think Momo would get offended no I you don’t care Momo is my first choice yeah I would go Momo I don’t care if she gets offended yeah so if I dress head to in I’ll I’ll look like a freaking cow yell leader at that at that roast I think that would be the funniest yeah I will bring a cow megaphone I’ll find somebody that’s a cheerleader at cow to give me all his stuff because Michael you’re right Michael would won’t get offended by any of it and would just it’d be funny because could we completely take the gloves off like they did last night with Momo we probably couldn’t because she’s a woman well we also probably couldn’t because we never quite do uh we I mean we didn’t we didn’t obliterate people during our roasts like they were getting obliterated last night they obliterated us though and you but nothing like yeah last night was it’s not Jeff Ross coming into rosess yeah it’s the cinis like your your forehead is low hanging fruit it is it’s a gimme it’s a it’s a short putt but right Jimmy Neutron thing that’s just out there already yeah people know the Jimmy Neutron I’m starting to think Momo we would probably because of political correctness we probably couldn’t attack a woman the way we could attack a man so maybe it would be well the word attack is probably the wrong word no no it a roast that’s what you do what did they do to Tom Brady they roasted roasted they attacked him yeah we keep saying they obliterate I mean Nicki Glazer rolled with everything yeah she did right and Nicki Glazer was the butt of a lot of jokes after she did her thing but Nikki Glazer’s a comedian yeah I wonder huh you know what we should do we should have Momo in here one day and we should try out jokes for the try some material and see if she gets offended that’s a good bit sure I like what do you think or do we wait do we wait and see if there actually is a Ramona roast and hold on to it we’ll wind up our best shots well let’s we’ll talk about it we’ll either do the roast or we’ll just do it on the air we’ll Pretend We’re roasting just do it at the mandes yeah the mandes is a another place yeah but that’s Morales controls it you know I’m ridiculous nobody

right so George Clooney who is a very uh successful and dashing man who’s married to the lovely Amal and they live in Lake KO Italy so everybody by the way it’s National No diet day I realized yeah I realized as I saw this that I think I’ve been on a diet my entire life I I don’t I think very rarely am I off some kind of you disagree with that Bergman most of your life on this show you haven’t been on a diet uh Popeye’s chicken sandwiches bring a bell ordering Donuts I mean that’s that’s but that’s all that’s a diet that’s that’s old stuff that’s old St diet just means you’re eating yeah that’s old stuff so here’s uh here’s Clooney he says every once in a while or every week he needs to have a cheat meal or what he calls a comfort meal and his answer to this is really weird he says he wants a pizza a margarita pizza with a rugula salad on top of it now little weird why mess up pizza with a salad like the whole point of pizza is I don’t have to eat a salad tonight why do I want a pizza full of salad the lettuce on top of the Margarita Pizza tastes delicious yeah but it’s it’s still it’s an arugula salad on top of my pizza when I could just have a pizza because it tastes good together yeah all right so uh so comfort food Bergman yeah comfort food if I’m if I’m going like full out yeah full out comfort food how about you have no respect left no no respect you no self resect where you I’m definitely going Pizza by the way and I’m going getting a very large pizza it’s I go with uh Canadian bacon and onion mhm and I’m going to get those bread sticks that the garlic knots the garlic they’re so good what about the ones that uh have the cinnamon and then you dip them in the ice oh God those are so good too yeah I’ll just keep going on that so wait I can eat whatever I want and it doesn’t matter it doesn’t have to be balanced correct you just what I I want to feel better this is the meal that’s going to make me feel better what is it Banana Split Banana Split yeah for dinner that’s a great call yeah yeah do you actually make banana splits no but I’d like to okay yeah yeah that’s it’s not that hard most expensive thing at at an ice cream store it you know it’s got so much stuff in it yeah Laura comfort food ooh I don’t eat a lot of pasta anymore so like a fetuccini alfredo sauce with a broccoli in there yeah that’s probably me Brian that was my thought too just some plain spaghetti with some meat sauce you know no meatballs I don’t know meat sauce like ground beef in it I like that better like a bowl oh my God a good B is so good I pasta is always going to be a comfort food for me because I grew up I mean eating pasta three times a week my mom always had a a pot of sauce I’m surprised you are not camped out because you live so close to Felix in Venice because they make their own pasta there yeah I you know we don’t go to fancy restaurants all the time was not that fancy well it’s kind it’s hard to get a reservation I wore jeans in there last time the one time I went I think we had a 3:30 p reservation cuz that’s all we could get it’s like dinner at 3:30 yeah but you should just pop in eat at the bar it’s not a pop in place sure no it’s not at least and I popped in there a little while ago isn’t their big thing a salad anyway don’t they have some salad P you got to go pasta Felix is really good pasta cuz they may and by the way it’s an open Glide it’s like like we’re in a fishbowl Studio here like if you walk into the lobby here you’ll see us sitting here right same thing at Felix the the where they’re making the pasta is a is a four glass oh really oh that’s cool so you can watch them do it yeah I you know I think that the other thing that I cling to is Popeyes and occasionally occasionally I will when I have absolutely no self-respect at all I will order two spicy chicken sandwiches from Popeyes and kill both of them when was the last time you did it I put a picture on uh Instagram did you um my story it wasn’t this week it was like two weeks ago that I broke down I’ve eaten excellent every day since that last bag of Popeyes do you ever feel like because you’re working out a lot trying to get your summer what do you call it my summer shred is on do you feel like after you’ve done like a week or two where you do really really well you’re like I don’t care I’m just going to start eating whatever I want no no you’re you’re fully invested I am fully invest I like like I’ve never been invested in anything like you guys can say oh I don’t think he’s GNA say I think he’s gonna F I think he’s gonna walk nope I’m doing it yeah ABS already I’m already on record I think you’re you’re kind of obsessed with it and I think you’re gonna finish it yeah I am very obsessed with it so it’s not like Bergman on his pelaton I mean it’s you you’ll actually stick with Greg what’s the status of your P I don’t have it anymore to Morales morales’s house is he using it he said he was I don’t know though here’s the weird thing Morales is hardly ever home he’s staying at the E Central all the time yeah he’s he’s always ubering somewhere to you know he’s very active social life when when the hell is he I guarantee you he’s got clothes hanging on his on his pelaton now I don’t know you got you can ask him he’s at home today Morales is at home I’m sure he’s riding away I’m sure sure yeah do it do it I’m sure he’s doing a pelaton class even as we speak I doubt that’s true yeah no I think he probably is working hard at it Morales seems like the the type um all right so uh let me see oh you know what Barkley is having a feud with Beyonce’s mom have you heard about this I think so this is H the Galvis stuff right yes it is yeah yeah uh we will do that coming up next for you Mason Ireland 710 ESPN let me tell

ever miss a moment get your feel any time just search Mason and Ireland wherever you get your podcast yeah exactly that’s exactly what I was going to say thank you was right you were right look see Ireland I pay attention sometimes he’s locked in so lock in Ireland uh Charles Barkley who I think honestly every show we play a clip from Charles Barkley guarante yeah and what’s interesting is you know Warner Brothers Discovery by the NBA negotiations oh did they I didn’t hear that and well so they had an exclusive window to bring back the NBA and they let it lapse and now NBC came in and made a bid that’s so high Warner Brothers discovery which is Turner yeah has to either match it or get out and if they match it they can’t make any money oh wow because because NBC put they put so NBC handled this brilliantly yeah and so ESPN’s going to have some NBA Amazon’s going to have some NBA and then the Third Leg of that triangle is is either going to be Turner or NBC and now Turner’s in a tough spot so Barkley could be working somewhere else next year yeah sounds like it sounds like it 25 right after one more season right after one more year yeah so uh Barkley is having this uh well he’s always been a big fan of San Antonio always been a big fan of San Antonio Texas he thinks the women are big down there and uh he also uh brought up galeston Galveston Texas at some point which happens to be Beyonce’s mom’s Hometown or is it Beyonce’s Hometown well it could be both Beyonce’s mom’s Hometown at least um and he was put in a position where he had to apologize I don’t want the Beehive and J out the Chuck know I apologize I do not want to be hi and J after me so how do you like Galviston now it’s beautiful we’re not going there would you go on vacation you got a oh hell no I ain’t going no vacation you’ve got a chance to wipe the Slate clean you got say I would go to let tell you something that water so dirty I’d rather go to San Antonio I’d rather go to San Antonio with them big old women no no I’m not going to gon I’m I mean I want to go to the beach down and the river walk and watch them big old women walk around so you know what so you know what sets him off okay so you know what we’re going to ra go Chuck San Antonio you know that’s what they that’s what they beened Victoria Secret chck why is it secret cuz them Little Women down they can’t get in them cute little underwear they wear Bloomers down in San ant oh my God somehow vioria the secret down there somehow we are going to transition from that to this you like no parts of Texas yeah he’s all over te apparently Beyonce’s mom is from Galviston but something sad I lived in Texas for four years y Galviston is where you go on vacation if you live in Texas that’s where the beach is on the coast yeah yeah yeah it’s near Houston your favorite town oh God what a town what a town my least it’s close Houston and Orlando are my two least favorite American cities wrong with Orlando Orlando is just a bunch of theme parks that’s really all it is if you want to go to theme parks it’s perfect if you want to go to Disney World and Epcot Center and all this but otherwise what’s the point of Orlando Orlando is just there for Disney World well if you want to see the magic or or to see the magic right two things Disney World and the magic um yeah I uh are you allowed to call women big old girls like Barkley’s doing Barkley is like I I was trying to explain this to Greg about Michael yeah Michael can say anything that if one of us said it it would be ridiculously offensive but when Michael says that people laugh they think it’s funny yes same thing applies to Barkley yeah he’s like they both have that same kind of weird old kind of teon weird Old Uncle Vibe too so if if they say it they can kind of get that’s what I loved about that Ro last night nobody cared yeah right you know they they if they flopped on a joke they would just keep going yeah not everybody H surprised bich showed up uh no and by the way I thought it was a really nice moment when uh craft called bellich over and said Kevin Hart made him well made him do it get together and do a shot and he craft said you’re the greatest coach in the history of the world right history of the game right which I thought was nice uh the only joke that didn’t fly last night was about massage parlor and Robert Craft well it I thought that joke was funny it’s just Brady didn’t like it yeah so he all the things that were said last night that was the one thing well I think he feels like craft took care of him you know gave him over $200 million and took care of him throughout his career and he didn’t want to see that turned into a roast of craft yeah yeah um so I think that’s why he told him to knock it off but I thought the comedians were great fantastic I just thought the event was great um it by the way the idea from earlier the idea of roasting because this is apparently going to be a series it’s a uh yeah and I thought there were the gr the greatest roast of all time right I thought there were two people there that should be candidates for the next Row the first one’s belich yeah if he would take it in the spirit in which it was intended I think all those old players would come back and and then when he got his chance to talk he would just kill all of them and then the one that I think would provide the most material Y is Kim Kardashian I think that if she agreed to be roasted and all those same comedians came back they would just torture and would there’s the same problem we were just talking about with Ramona where it’s it’s different maybe everybody took a turn already might as well yeah I mean everybody picked didn’t just saying no Laura’s point is everybody had a Kim K joke it is true everybody did yeah Greg you’re get your head out of the gutters I don’t know what you’re talking about yeah right that’s why you can’t stop laughing uh not laughing you’re laughing but uh hey let me let me ask you something different here cuz I I’m starting my brain is starting to work so I noticed that tonight at at 3:34 for a one o00 show it just started working great we got one segment left thanks so uh so here’s the the gig is tonight at the Met Galla right everybody puts on all their goofy outfits and stuff tonight tonight and we have our own met Galla which is the Mandy Awards right so I put out a tweet that has you and me and what we were wearing on that sort of rotating platform thing yeah which actually is a really cool video I’m wearing uh you’re you look very classy in a purle I’m I’m going to look at your Tweet is yeah it’s out uh you look very classy in a in a tailored uh fitted purple jacket yep and I do it show my shoes I had great shoes I don’t recall I look ridiculous in what looks like a a Batman villain suit like yeah you do you look like the Riddler The Riddler I do look like the Riddler who who wor it best Greg uh mace did a really good job that was a that was a great outfit uh I me I liked yours too but what are you guys going to do this year are you going to go even bigger that’s the thing how do you go bigger than Riddler outfit my problem is I own two suits uhhuh I I wore one last year and one the year before so I you need a new one I don’t want to buy a new suit but I may have to find one I am thinking because I’m in my summer shred that I might do the copy and go shirtless wow with the double chain with with the double chain exactly and all black Air Force yeah no don’t go all black I’m not going to go all black Air Force no no not at all it’s hard to it’s hard to keep topping everybody’s outfits oh like that one that one’s have you guys really thought about your outfits cuz I was thinking about it and I’m like ah I’ve been thinking about it a lot I’ve been obsessed with it I’m going wear a romp them do it you should I’m that do you have the pineapple one still I don’t know I’ll look what if you do a a change outfits no that’s very Cappy you change outfits I’m going I’m going one outfit and marrying myself to it okay if you go with the about low maintenance you can go in the rompom to start but then switch to the bunny outfit afterwards uh the bunny outfit for that long would be uncomfortable but I have it somewhere yeah so you could or start with it and switch to the rompom maybe I’ll uh you know what a lot of people are doing is is suits with shorts well you know I was afraid I was afraid to wear remember the Russell Westbrook outfit I wanted to wear oh yeah with the I was with the Kilt you’re allowed to do that but now I can yeah of course you before I couldn’t cuz I was afraid he would get me fired Ireland and a Kil is but I may do that we’ll see you should do that that’s a great idea that’s that’s what I will try and recreate Bergman what about you I don’t know I want to find a like a bigger better suits you want me to you want me to talk to my designer I’m yes have you seen the commercial with um perk and Carmelo Anthony when they were the boxy suits you should get one of those big Bo you should get one of those boxy suits I’ll be doing the red carpet and not be able to move yeah those are very funny like sh exactly like a David burn you can criticize shoh for unbelievable he’s just doing the moves for the danc yeah exactly um all right so it’s your game today AR it is my game and it okay it’s a game that Mason will criticize but do well in that’s my tease that’s interesting you’ll criticize it but you’ll do well okay that’s how that’s what I predict sounds like at the

saw it it was Mason W Ireland I believe you won on Friday so it’s two for Mason one and that’s it that’s it yep GRE I’m making you the favorite in this game and if you don’t win I think M will win Brian and Laura are long shots here it is okay this game is name as your buzzer the whole way through okay oh yeah I’m screwed we haven’t done I don’t think you are screwed I think you could surprise here all of us just need to [ __ ] exactly all right I have a list of athletes all of these athletes wore the same jersey number all read the names now mace last time you did that and you won I’m terrible at Jersey last time I did this all right I’ll read the names as soon as you think you know the number your name is your brother so what I’m asking you guys for yeah is the number okay so here we go I think Brian’s going to be good at this yeah I yeah Brian will be good well I’m telling you last time we did it mace went oh I’ll be terrible and he W it so I will be terrible all right here we go babe ruthan drag Brian three boom Brian Cohen out of the game baby wow wow that I’m enough to jump early it is right yep Reggie Jackson Mason 28 no Brian Brian 44 44 beat me again Ian’s the ringer Brian nicely done oh boy I I I Brian may run the table here I didn’t know you were this good at this all right be me by like a quarter of a second all right here we go it is like Quick Draw yeah Kirk Gibson Rams running back Kiren Williams ma 23 boom on the board know that one I do know that one I blanked on Gibson I knew and I blanked on it by the way it was going to be Draymond Green LeBron Michael Jordan so it would have been easy on the outside okay here we go Brian 2 Mason One Number Four John Stockton Joe nameth tan Prince Greg Greg 12 12 Greg on the oh I had 12 in my head I was like Tom Tom Brady was next that would have given it away okay here we go number five it’s Brian 2 Greg 1 mace one Laura yet to scratch should we give Laura I I don’t think no no it’s okay but I I think if I give you one name it would not be unfair cuz it’s a hard name are you guys okay with me giving La abs I don’t want special she doesn’t want your she doesn’t want special treatment John okay L are you sure yeah cuz I think Brian’s going to jump this okay Mickey Mantle Brian Brian seven boom yeah Brian Brian knows numbers Brian three did you you didn’t anticipate this at all yeah I thought Greg would be what Brian I know all these Brian is lowkey the smartest person on the show okay I don’t even think it’s low key yeah it’s very high key yeah I I think it’s it’s regular all right we have how 1 2 3 four left um okay Chris Mullen Bill’s quarterback Josh Allen Mason mace nine no Brian Philip 17 Brian’s on it right Brian’s on it you said Philip Rivers obviously he’s going to get that one I had that one oh that’s right uh then it was Devonte Adams and Sh Otani would have been the last two uh okay Brian’s got a Comm oh all you guys Laura can’t catch him Greg you and ma can catch him but you got to jump in early okay okay oh I can turn my Michael you you want to wait a minute Laura how many you got one two three yeah you got zero you’re out all right here we go I tried to give you special treatment I don’t want it Vince Carter Brian Brian 15 oh my God Brian Bri oh yeah baby Brian you knew Vince Carter based on that I thought that was going to be the hardest one Austin Barnes Nicole joic Patrick Mahomes Brian Brian’s not even letting you guys get past the first ni nicely done yeah Brian you’re good at this all right uh let’s see if he can run the table or two more I think you’re gonna get this one too Carl Malone Sandy kofax Greg 32 boom Greg on the board Sandy kofax Jim Brown Magic Johnson OJ Simpson oh yeah in honor of last night’s roast I thre OJ Simpson in because nothing was off limits I think Brian gave you that all right this one’s a little harder but Brian based on what you’ve done so far I think you’ll probably get it Randy Moss Bri Brian 81 no but he did wear that this was what he wore with the Vikings Greg oh wa where we the Vikings you want we give you another name yeah Andy pz 88 incorrect no that’s no it’s no no it’s know it I know it I know it all right Laura you got a chance to scratch here mother bleeper Antonio Brown I’m not even paying anymore sry 10 no in the 80s Brian 84 84 get the guess again well I was just saying he’s already I I think Brian has got this locked up yeah and I told you I have no capacity for numbers I got one because I knew Kiren Williams you just didn’t uh ring in early enough all right here let’s do the tiebreaker uh okay so just do this in your head all right not write it down if you write it down you’ll get confused okay if you add up the Lakers jersey numbers of Will Chamberlain Jerry West James Worthy Kareem Abdul Jabar Magic Johnson and sha what total number do you get Brian give me a number just a guap um 144 okay Greg way too low 302 Laura 305 oh mace 101 Brian wins again 198 here were the number Wilt was 13 Jerry West 44 worthy 42 Kareem 33 Magic 32 and sha 34 totals out at 198 and Brian a convincing dominating victory for you now you have a head for number it’s like you have a beautiful mind you’re like Russell crow in that movie all these numbers floating around in your head huh just don’t ask me to do any math and the numbers don’t work like that but they work with the jersey numbers all right so let me let me see how you do with some of the other other retired Laker jerseys okay you know Kobe’s two numbers right uh yeah 824 okay do you know Gail goodr no do you know Jamal wils I don’t do you know Kareem and sha 34 34 sha you know Kareem I don’t 33 come you know magic yeah 32 right um do you know I’m trying to think of other people that are up there uh wilt I don’t think I do know will that’s the same number as Dan Marino 14 same number as A-Rod you’re close very close oh 13 yeah yeah yeah so you’ve got a good head for numbers that that all kind of worked out that game was uh very anticlimactic Brian just ran the table on us sure did um all right so is that his first win of the month Greg first win of the month so it’s now Ireland 2 Mason one Brian W okay and then tomorrow is mesa’s game yes yes um all right there was something else I wanted to get to today that we didn’t get to let me see if I can find this um the uh okay so did you guys see ma this is more directed at you okay JJ Watt came out over the weekend so JJ Watt here’s his stats he’s 35 finished his career with five Pro bowls five All Pro appearances three Defensive Player of the Year Awards yep didn’t play last year but played every year before that that told Texans coach too Ryan if you ask me I’ll come out of retirement right why doesn’t Shawn McVey ask him well I first of all I saw the clip and I think he’s he’s kind of it’s a joke I think I don’t think he’s actually serious did you see him it was almost like if he absolutely needs me I’ll I’ll come out of retirement right but I I did you see the Les sne clip when he was on uh um yes I’m trying to remember where he was he might have been he said he wasn’t a he said it was something shy of a 100% that Aaron Donald was retired right he it sounded like 90% sure he was out yeah by the way uh JJ has not played since 2022 that was last full season yeah so he missed last year Miss 23 this right he’s only missed one year all right the other thing I was going to ask you about this did you see K Caitlyn Clark had her um preseason debut yes and she played well yep hit 21 points yeah after the game somebody asked Caitlyn Clark about her boyfriend yes said um in the cheesiest way possible no said is your boyfriend here no he said is your baay here oh okay and she said no he’s working I’m going to get used to it I’m going to be out here by myself most of the time and it was the reporter was criticized for asking Caitlyn Clark about her boyfriend should the reporter have been criticized um I think I don’t know would you ask uh Steph Curry about his wife when he’s on a well his wife’s on TV right that’s probably not the best example it would but but why isn’t she treated just like an athlete why does it have to be is your Bay here yeah that was weird you’re right with why would why would you say is your Bay here it’s just a weird first of all I don’t even think that’s a thing anymore is it uh what is B it’s ba it’s before anyone else yeah and so that’s okay maybe I think it’s just weird yeah just treat her like every other athlete don’t try to be cute don’t make heart signs don’t ask her where her Bay is I mean she’s a basketball player treat her like one it is going to be a whole new world with her popularity and as big as she is did you guys see San just walked in did you guys see I think we talked about this on Friday they moved the Pacers have had a game on the same night that The Fever was supposed to play their home opener and they moved the men than rather than the women they were they had to move one of them and in every instance prior to this they’ve always moved the WNBA or they moved to a different venue uh she’s so popular and and that thing has been sold out for so long at the gamebridge Fieldhouse that they are moving the men’s game to the next night and keeping Katlyn Clark on on her original date which is a really good sign for the WNBA let me let me just go back to that question the question from the reporter was is ba going to be here now you wouldn’t ask that of a male athlete someone asked about LeBron he’d be like what is your is your baay here LeBron what are you talking about I would probably ask him to explain what that means she’s a professional athlete it’s absurd yeah it’s just ridiculous it’s kind of weird I don’t know what happens like with her that reporters get cringy and was it a male reporter it was a male reporter another male reporter yeah so it’s kind of weird um so over and by the way they’re from also from Indiana local Indiana maybe it’s a Midwest thing what are they doing over there by the way is baay still a thing it was a thing like 10 years ago I don’t think I think it depends um is it just because they haven’t had a star there in so long how old’s a reporter uh I don’t know I don’t know I didn’t get the stats on him I mean I know Andrew L Manning haven’t been there in a minute but gez um hey cppy how was the graduation oh my god dude it was awesome yeah for people who don’t know Cappy’s daughter graduated from was it Boise State CPP yep Boise State did they do it in the stadium with the blue field no they did it in the basketball arena right next store yeah uh but it went well and she had a good time and uh everything went as expected um everything went as expected until later that night um when I tried to keep up drinking with her and all of her friends and you forgot that you haven’t been in that weight class in 30 years right and then they suckered me and I’m GNA talk about this with George later because I definitely need his opinion Y and then they suckered me into doing something that I probably wouldn’t have done if it wasn’t for the beers and the emotion of the moment you know did it involve handing over your credit card to pay for everything you got that right partner yeah I figured as much um all right so over the weekend the person that was the most wrong about anything was me yep I age oh the gelle thing a million times they won’t touch jelle it I I I didn’t think they would and within like 10 minutes it was not 10 George within one minute like Kevin Hart came out and said what’s what you you set her up with the jiu-jitsu instructor and then you know and it was it 95% of the stuff we can’t run yes but it was very very good George you’re second you I was the most wrong you were second when you completely shut me down when I said Minnesota’s going to beat Denver well you said in a series right I don’t think they can beat Denver in the series I do I don’t I think that I think Denver wins I think Denver wins tonight Denver can lose tonight and I still think they win four out of five here’s why tell me if you agree I don’t think Jamal Murray’s right he isn’t but he hasn’t been right all year right but I think that Anthony Edwards is so good that Jamaal Murray has to be right to beat this team I mean I think if he plays the way he’s played I think the key is joic joic when goar wasn’t guarding him and goar was allowed to roam created a lot of problems for them if you look at the numbers um but you feel still strongly that Denver wins the series yeah yeah yeah I mean to me as long as joic is healthy then I feel confident cier take you know mace I’ll tell you my take I don’t I don’t rule Minnesota out at all um seriously like I think Anthony Edwards is the most exciting player in the game right now he is no question and I love the way that Minnesota has essentially and all these veteran guys are like no it’s his team he’s 22 years old it’s his team we follow his lead and I actually think Minnesota is alive in this series and I like what JN is saying you know if Murray’s not right and George is is saying that you know he hasn’t been all year but if if Murray’s not right maybe maybe Minnesota can sneak up on him Denver minus eight and a half today yeah take the cut ma is M ma did bet Denver I got six half oh was it I’m sorry six and a half yeah I got Denver minus 6 and a half uncut Brian uh hit the super Stager then I’m going to ask sonano and caps up kpn AM 710 Los Angeles krdc 1110 Pasadena Los Angeles k2x 9.1 FM Pasad Los Angeles it’s the greatest segment in LA Sports Radio history radio history oh my god when the shows come together for Magic on the radio Bel grow stronger Super Cross talk are we ready for sedado and cap to join Mason in Ireland Super Cross talk begins Super Cross talk presented by Kors light Kors light made to chill it’s time for Super Cross okay boys we we were kicking this around earlier on our show I don’t know if you saw this story but Rudy goar’s girlfriend had a baby this morning in Minnesota okay they think MC menman was just on he’s questionable to make it back to Denver but he thinks he’s going to make it and George you and I have done that they he’ll make it I mean it’s not that far but the question we asked earlier is of course everybody wants to be there for the birth of their child but if you’re the t-wolves can you even ask George no you can’t even pose the question I wouldn’t that which is what would it be possible be possible for you to skip the birth of the child or or can we accommodate your girlfriend or your I don’t know if it’s his wife or his girlfriend can we accommodate her and drive her to Denver and have her deliver there do whatever it takes yeah deliver in Denver it’s argu George is it not probably the most important game in wolves history utrition in to actually do the delivery can you even ask these questions well she’s got her own doctor to M’s point that she’s been with for nine months that that you will bring or can I can I even go you will bring the doctor wait the doctor needs to agree to go too like I’m saying it I I don’t think you can say hey we’re paying you $50 million for nights like this you have to be there but can I even approach the idea if I own the team I would what popped into my head George you would of course you would 100% I you would ask Cy yeah Cappy would ask I would ask and he make the awkward situation like Ireland What’s the phrase that I always say I steal from you two things can be true at once so could in this case can this game be the most important game in maybe Timberwolves history and the birth of a child nothing’s more important than that can I try and even accommodate both try to marry both things can I can I even try Cappy can I ask I yeah 100% listen I I would guess from the players perspective he’s got this tremendous conflict because on one hand you really want to be there for the birth of your child and if it were a regular season game no problem the game no problem but this is a huge huge playoff game and I want to be there number one and my teammates are counting on me number two now is there a way to make both happen if he can be there for the birth of the child and get on a private plane and still make it to the game problem averted but I would have absolutely have said hey look um this is a possibility is there a safe way to transport her and have this baby in in Denver transport girlfriend it’s not the Oregon Trail they don’t need to bring her in by wagon you know what I mean you can’t fly you can’t fly that many transport her yeah right uh get a i Mees Denver is a long drive we’re gonna put your girlfriend in a minivan and we’re GNA drive to Denver with our utrition in the car no you could have moved her there before the game one on Saturday like you could have driven her in last week yeah prepare for her to have the baby in Denver is it offensive to even suggest this is my question I mean I don’t think it’s offensive I just wouldn’t ask I just feel like it’s it’s tactless what if it was game seven of the NBA Finals okay does that change the George does that change the equation in your mind I I mean I think it’s up to him man at that point well of course it’s up to him but but I mean what I’m saying is people will be offended that I’m even bringing this up way would they be offed I don’t think anyone’s offended nobody’s offended would you be offended if no would the would if you’re Rudy go if the team asks just say is there a way we we can have you at the birth of your child and get you in for game I don’t think any he would be offended I think that he may say no right I just I just wouldn’t ask I would not want that awkward conversation and I’m and I’m a big fan of contentious and awkward conversations you are I hear your show but in that in that scenario I feel like you know no like that’s I draw the line turn turn it around you ready you’re you’re him you’re Rudy goar I’m Rudy goar okay what do you do I do what Rudy goar is doing I go and I fly in the day the game The Day of the game and I make try to make it to the game right you have the baby and then you’re flying we’ve seen plenty of guys literally walk into the arena as the game is about to tip off in scenarios like this before the drive is 13 hours he’s fing private that’s a 13-hour drive from Apolis to Denver I think what you got to do then do you remember when your wife was pregnant you want to put her in a car for 13 hours no but I really want goar to guard joic in this game if I’m Minnesota no but he actually is terrible guarding yic it’s the other way around it’s when he’s not guarding re played out of his mind yeah uh but he’s been having a great year um so we have both games tonight right Pacers Nicks early wolves nuggets slate yeah yep yeah uh I got money on both first first game is uh going to tip off in what about 30 minutes from now so yes yeah I got the Knicks on the money line and I got Denver minus 6 and a half yeah okay all right I feel good about those hey what were you so back to the uh where we started this this whole thing about the repor the reporter with Caitlyn Clark and Bay oh yeah yeah yeah okay so just first and foremost the the phrase Bay yeah I can’t ever remember ever using that phras I I used it jokingly didn’t sarcastically when I was doing the car R Williams put it in a song Donna Donna Feldman she and I go back and forth and call each other bay super we’ve all remember that guy Salt Bay oh yeah Salt Bay we we’ve all used it yeah but is but isn’t Salt Bay b y is he ba it is ba he is he’s Bae yeah oh I didn’t know that Sal see I think it’s an old expression that somehow got brought back because Ka Caitlyn Caitlyn Collins Caitlin Clark was there and they were uh they were looking for another way to make her awkward they they just I think these things happen I don’t think reporters know how to handle a female athlete she’s a superstar female athlete Treat Her Like An Athlete I just want to know how old the reporter is cuz like everybody got creeped out by that older dude the colonist I wonder if this is like a young uh reporter who thinks that he’s speaking like a young person’s language uh there is video you guys talk did you bring your baay yeah did you bring your baay that’s so l so lame so lame yeah I mean first of all right if you’re like Cappy’s age and you’re asking her that question creepy you’re like what I know George you have no idea man it was hard for me this weekend like I felt like a creepy dude this weekend because I’m with my daughter who’s 21 she’ll be 22 and like two weeks and you’re lurking and boisey well and it’s I’m out partying with her friends you know and don’t get me wrong there were other parents there also but like I’m partying with these young girls that are like 21 years old and they’re like um I don’t know they’re I’ll just say like a little flirtatious like in a weird kind of way right and and I’m like girl listen um this you know not even like joke around here you know what I mean you refuse to joke around I mean I just it just was like I I thought about it John I thought about in my head I’m like could I do this and then I thought don’t do this you can’t do this you’re an idiot if you touch this but you did it which is great yeah what what you do in that scenario Cappy is you come in you pick up the tab for everybody you congratulate everybody you keep your hands in your pockets and you go home right I was like Darin ham I had my hands in my pockets the entire time go just like Darin just walking around the sideline just with my hand what about the uh did you have a derby party did you go to a derby party I did not but I watched the Derby and I was very upset because I bet on five different horses to win separately right and then I against yourself at this point wait wait but then I bet five different I bet four different exactas and the one I forgot was the one that won was mytic mtic I bet four different ones I bet the uh the three you had Cappy plus there was one more I bet on fierceness cap I lost 40 bucks here’s my was my bet I bet on the field over fierceness cuz fierceness was the favorite I came in and won yeah so I ended up winning aund I I bet $200 worth of bets yep and I ended up with I won $1 19610 because I won a uh I guess A1 or $15 Bet On Mystic Mystic Dan or Mystic Dan Mystic Dan it was such a close finish too right did you see but if I would have bet the Exacta two I would have won several hundred dollar more yeah right now is horse racing can you bet on horse racing in was I did was one of my friends at the party had app on his phone and I just gave him 40 bucks and he bet it TVG she went to Twin Spires I’m sure twin that’s the one they were promoting on the on the broadcast and I had uh mint julip of course you do it in here in California param mutuals are a fair game right um so you know yeah it’s good oh wait so George tell me how you played this you played five different I play five to win and I I only put I forgot to put the fifth Exacta I put the same the same horses I won to I put to win I put them in an xacta to win plus like five or six other horses to come in second um and the one I screwed up was Mystic Dan I did not put an extra exact on that one what a day wow you see that that is a just because I forgot you you know how you always tell me that on prize picks I’m I’m kind of like I’m always betting the more side rather than the less side you know because nobody wants to root for Less everybody wants more the Kentucky Derby big races like that are perfect to get the general public to do what George just did which is essentially what you’re doing is you’re betting against yourself now you’re you’re probably thinking George that you hedged right no I’m not thinking I hedged I felt like there were five horses I thought could actually win the race and I bet on all five of them to win and I was going to bet all five of them to win on an Exacta too and also placing a to put in a box right five horses in an Exacta box that’s expensive no no not a box just an Exacta just first and second got it okay why would you not box it yeah boxing it is the smart way to do itens way well it’s twice as many bets right yeah it is so I so I but I I had had I just not for not forgotten to put Mystic Dan as the other horse I would have ended up with probably up $500 or something like that I would have taken your five horses this is how I would have played it I would have taken your five horses and I would have put him in a trifecta box Bingo you know and this way that’s why I would have played let me ask you guys something speaking of betting not surprisingly Victor W Bama just won NBA Rookie of the Year right could I have I I know the odds would have been ridiculous I would probably had to bet 20 million to win a million but wouldn’t that have been the safest bet ever it didn’t look that way the first month and a half of the season with Chad holr but I mean now I bet it yesterday I would say like it didn’t look safe until like January late January early February I I mean it in terms of value it’d be a really stupid bet but I mean you wouldn’t have lost right right I mean you say that now but again in in no November and December he did not look anywhere near as good as Chad homr he’s said he went off today at minus 5,000 which means I have to bet 5,000 100 or to win 100 yeah right so if I had money and I bet like 5 million I could win 100 Grand why don’t you refinance your house in cour Lane and put it all down on Wy there you go let’s go on Wy Captain doeses Rachel have any friends because I would be in a divorce pretty quick I get that uh mace did you guys since we’re talk in Kentucky Derby did you guys watch the uh Canelo fight on Saturday night absolutely not I did not see it I didn’t see any of it I didn’t watch it because I was out you know trying to keep up or I didn’t buy that one I did not but I watched you know a lot of it play out on social media sure so okay so that because usually you know that first well always that first Saturday of May is Derby and then big flight in Vegas which you know for the last time over many years has all been Canelo George you watch the fight or did you uh I did not I watched it after the fact yeah yeah me too too so there was a lot going on this weekend how about the Dodgers this past week the Dodgers were the Dodgers are so good they are so but I kind of like I’m sorry go ahead they’re not running away with it well the division yes yeah the division they’re running away with it no but they don’t they don’t have like the best record in baseball or anything but they’ve got the I want to say the best record in the National League they got the best record in the NL yeah no no they don’t because Philadelphia has been on fire as of late and so Philadelphia’s the Braves were in first place in the NL East before this weekend yeah the Dodgers have a 5 and a half game lead in the west uh only the Phillies have more wins than them may in the American League comparable to them uh two Baltimore the Yankees and Philly and and the Dodgers of kind of like we were asking if we should Sound the Alarm better I it’s better radio it is better radio but the problem is and I there there are wrinkles on this team that are not working like tonight is one it’s going to be a big test I mean Walker buler there counting on um I think he gives them four or five Innings tonight but we’ll see if he ever returns to Ace form cuz I think right now if you were to pencil in a starting rotation for the playoffs it would obviously go glass now Yamamoto and bu third right um by the way Kershaw went on the mountain and through I think 15 pitches this week okay uh so they’re talking about him now after the All-Star break I imagine not till August uh will we see Clayton Kershaw but you know there there really is no weakness on this team now that they’ve added added Andy pz oh he’s been great he’s been fantastic won the game in a walk-off on Friday night had four hits he’s been the Dodgers keep finding great Cuban players yeah it’s true they do they’ve been doing it since yasel I feel like yeah they they do they’ve always and they the kid was the kid at third base last year that they sent back down because he wasn’t ready Vargas yes he’s also going they think he’s Miguel Vargas is still tearing up Triple H right they believe he’s going to be a player yeah you guys know that tomorrow night I have a mandate to go to the Dodger game oh nice oh I heard I heard your mandate oh one Gregory Arthur Bergman oh really yeah Bergman and Cappy are going to a game together and Bergie the law firm of Bergman and Kaplan are going to the Dodger game tomorrow night that’s that’s the plan the plan oh wow that sounds like you’re hedging a little I’m not I’m not hedging oh we got we got denied for people to go today’s game and I have not heard denied by by the Dodgers really for people for today’s game and I have not heard anything about tomorrow’s game from the Dodgers why would be we Ben denied that’s a whole another another mean dened credentials denied credentials that’s outrageous that’s an outrage how could ESPN be denied credentials hold on no in all seriousness the Dodgers denied an ESPN radio station credentials to their game correct what was the reason behind that uh they they had their reasonings did they not respond or did they respond and say they responded and they said I did not know what the plan for uh for what you were going to do there and I told them that was for social content and for reporting the next day and I haven’t
