Speaker 1: And we continue on Fred Rogan Rodney peaked on seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports. Let at this how our Vick will be
Speaker 1: along with the Haig coup. But now let's get into
Speaker 1: the Lakers, the Clippers, the NBA and a burning question
Speaker 1: with our insider from the La Times, Dan Wiki. Dan,
Speaker 1: how are you today?
Speaker 2: Guys? How did you know something was burning? I was
Speaker 2: just crushing my traps in the guys, I'm getting into
Speaker 2: just phenomenal playing shape for the SME season tournament coming up.
Speaker 1: Guys, well, actually I am I talking about Dan. You're
Speaker 1: not even No, you're not doing anything. He is Trapp.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Hey, all right, listen, I want to start
Speaker 1: with this Joel emb that's been at three games confrontation
Speaker 1: with a columnist. First off, what do you think of that?
Speaker 1: And second? What are the relationships like between writers and
Speaker 1: players these days?
Speaker 2: So that's uh okay, let's start with the second question. First,
Speaker 2: I think the relationships I meen writers like traveling beat
Speaker 2: writers and players are generally fined. There was a clip
Speaker 2: that went around after the Pistons game where I asked
Speaker 2: Lebron some question about the Lakers without a D and
Speaker 2: he kind of you know, was like, what do you
Speaker 2: want me to say? Like it It wasn't tense by
Speaker 2: any stretch, but the clip of itself was like a
Speaker 2: little provocative. I caught a couple of text messages from
Speaker 2: some people, including sometimes fellow host. Ryan Hollins was among
Speaker 2: the people who texted me about this, asking me kind
Speaker 2: of like, are you guys cool? And it's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: we're totally fine. That happens, right. The columnists player relationship
Speaker 2: is a little different, right, Like it's the commiss obb
Speaker 2: to be provocative.
Speaker 3: That's sort of what they do.
Speaker 2: And the sort of old school rule is that if
Speaker 2: you're going to rip somebody, you show up the next day.
Speaker 1: Look.
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, wait wait, that's exactly what I said. I said,
Speaker 4: I can respect you all day long. I had a
Speaker 4: guy in Detroit that did that Mitch album My Man,
Speaker 4: and still to this day that told me, I'm hey,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be hard on you, be hard on you,
Speaker 4: and he showed up. And those guys that show up
Speaker 4: the next day after they do that, I have nothing
Speaker 4: but respectfully that I understand you got a job to
Speaker 4: do and that's what you're doing.
Speaker 1: But don't don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you say your piece and then guess what,
Speaker 2: Like the way adults handle this is that so I
Speaker 2: disagree with you, I can have that disagreement with you,
Speaker 2: and if it can get sometimes it gets verbal and heated,
Speaker 2: so be it right. It should never get physical. But
Speaker 2: the commist wrote about Joel's brother and about his son,
Speaker 2: certainly I think crossed the line. Uh in messaging. I
Speaker 2: don't think it was necessary said you don't put your
Speaker 2: hands on another adult because.
Speaker 1: Wait, and yeah, you're getting all muffled. Where are you
Speaker 1: because we want to hear it. You're kind of muffled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's walking walking three suspension. You know he's gonna
Speaker 2: misclaim the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Vic in the x f l A can you.
Speaker 2: Hear us man floating it off the ground for him?
Speaker 2: And now it's even because like I mean, like this
Speaker 2: is uh the XFL you don't handle it with physic
Speaker 2: challenge that Kevin, you.
Speaker 1: Should pull that. You should pull that so we can
Speaker 1: play for Dan Dan you Harris Dann Can you hear us?
Speaker 2: Guys? Leave you guys, just run me down?
Speaker 1: Stop? Where are you?
Speaker 2: Where am I now? I'm in Memphis? Bad bad reception.
Speaker 1: It was so bad. What happened so bad? We were
Speaker 1: yelling at you to stop because we couldn't understand you.
Speaker 1: So we have to do it again so we can
Speaker 1: hear what you have to say. Now, we hung on.
Speaker 1: We lost him. I'll get him back.
Speaker 4: It was that was Vic at the Long Beat and
Speaker 4: Long Beat, you know, at the XFL tryouts or whatever
Speaker 4: the combine that he was at.
Speaker 1: Remember the winds were gusting.
Speaker 4: The winds were gusted, and he kept talking and kept talking.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, it was great. We're yelling Vic, big big.
Speaker 1: That was the same. That was Dajabu right there. It
Speaker 1: was the exact same thing. As we try to get
Speaker 1: Dan back. Can I just tell you a quick story
Speaker 1: about Vic. Yes, I'm sure Vic is listening now. So
Speaker 1: it was a bit baffling. Vic sends me a text
Speaker 1: and well, all right, well let's bring Dan back first. Dan,
Speaker 1: are you.
Speaker 2: There, guys, I'm sorry I ran through the stop sign apparently, listen.
Speaker 2: I had no idea.
Speaker 1: That was one of the great moments. It only can
Speaker 1: be topped by the number one moment like that where
Speaker 1: Vic was at the XFL camp of some sort. We're
Speaker 1: talking for ten minutes, couldn't hear us. We were screaming at.
Speaker 2: Him and he just kept talking.
Speaker 1: It was like, wow, okay, so let's go back to
Speaker 1: the question.
Speaker 2: Dan, Okay, let's do it all.
Speaker 1: Right, the columnist, we did hear you say. We kind
Speaker 1: of lost you the point where you said he wrote
Speaker 1: about his son and his brother.
Speaker 2: Then well, yeah, that's off that's off limits. I mean, like, well,
Speaker 2: it's unnecessary too write. It didn't strengthen the argument. It
Speaker 2: was stupid for lack of a better term, you know.
Speaker 2: But still to me, that doesn't it doesn't justify the
Speaker 2: use of putting your hands on somebody. You have to
Speaker 2: be smarter than that. You have you put your team in,
Speaker 2: yourself at a disadvantage for that, You've got to be better.
Speaker 2: And you know, over the past few years with the Sixers,
Speaker 2: it has been one thing or another. And this is
Speaker 2: just the latest chapter of it. Probably won't be the
Speaker 2: ask either.
Speaker 4: Dan, have you have you ever been in a situation
Speaker 4: where it's gotten in you know, tense like that, not
Speaker 4: not to the point where somebody's put their hands or
Speaker 4: wanted to put their hands on you. But but you
Speaker 4: had to ask a tough question that you knew probably
Speaker 4: that the guy was going to be a little sensitive
Speaker 4: to and.
Speaker 2: And you were yeah, it happened, and it happened in
Speaker 2: the trading complans going we had to ask Jackson his
Speaker 2: about the team's video. Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, it happens.
Speaker 2: It happens a lot, you know, and people aren't happy
Speaker 2: about it. I think in that case, certainly Jackson understood
Speaker 2: the question was coming, but like, yeah, no, it happens.
Speaker 2: You know. I think it probably happened more when there
Speaker 2: were fewer cameras around earlier in my career. You would
Speaker 2: get into stuff, you know. I had a a pretty like,
Speaker 2: in my mind, like a pretty strong exchange with the
Speaker 2: player once after a game about something I tweeted during
Speaker 2: the game. You know, no, no cameras were there to cap.
Speaker 2: It didn't go viral or anything like that. But it happens.
Speaker 2: I think though, you know, usually you meet people on
Speaker 2: the common ground of like, you know, you're both human
Speaker 2: beings and like you know, Ronnie, like you said, you're
Speaker 2: trying to do a job, and I understand that they're
Speaker 2: trying to do a job, and sometimes answering tough questions
Speaker 2: are part of it. I think, you know, for me,
Speaker 2: it's like you try not to make it personal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, And I think certainly, when you invoke the
Speaker 2: memory of someone's you know, dead brother and their child,
Speaker 2: it's it's about as personal as it gets, you know,
Speaker 2: So I think that's that that's the misstep, right. I
Speaker 2: think trying to be dispassionate about this stuff is usually
Speaker 2: it will works best. But look, it's a it's a
Speaker 2: space in which you know, right now, I think like,
Speaker 2: if you're not saying things that are loud or outrageous
Speaker 2: or stuff like that, it's harder and harder to break through.
Speaker 2: And I'm hoping that we'll course correct and we can, uh,
Speaker 2: we can have more civilized and nuanced discussions about these things.
Speaker 1: The league dinged in three games, and that's pretty serious
Speaker 1: to get three games for that. Don't you agree they
Speaker 1: want to cut this off right now?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You know, I mean I think at once, like when
Speaker 2: I saw it seemed like both a lot and not
Speaker 2: enough at the same time, you know, because of just
Speaker 2: how unusual it is. Uh, but you know, I mean, look,
Speaker 2: it's gonna cost him a million dollars in game salary,
Speaker 2: Like that's a that's an expensive shove. Yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: And and I just think again, like it's just you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a team that's not off to the
Speaker 2: head the start. It wants to be off. They need
Speaker 2: to get their players on the court, they need to
Speaker 2: really get their seasons started in earnest and it's another hiccup.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, definitely hiccup. All right, so let's let's let's
Speaker 4: get into the the Lakers.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 4: You know, obviously we all heard the Anthony Davis comment
Speaker 4: of we don't know who we are and you know,
Speaker 4: one night with this, one night with that, and you know,
Speaker 4: what do you make of this team?
Speaker 1: It started off three and zero and.
Speaker 4: Was it fools gold as they started and you know,
Speaker 4: probably a lot of people overreacted to them starting off
Speaker 4: that way. And now they've come to earth, come back
Speaker 4: down to earth, and we figure out this is a
Speaker 4: Laker team that is pretty media mediocre.
Speaker 2: Well, I just think we don't know what they are yet, right,
Speaker 2: I mean I think where you know, just a handful
Speaker 2: of games into the season, and you know, what's unique
Speaker 2: about this group is that it's both you know, this
Speaker 2: feels all very similar, but while it's everything is also
Speaker 2: new too, right, Like they're playing with a new system,
Speaker 2: they've got new standards on offensives to what they're trying
Speaker 2: to accomplish there's some new roles and different things like that,
Speaker 2: and you know, when you think of it that way
Speaker 2: with the new coaching staff, like of course they're going
Speaker 2: to be growing pains of course right now. Though I
Speaker 2: think the tricky part is that this is also like
Speaker 2: functionally the same roster that it's been, and you know,
Speaker 2: when you're running into some of the same problems that
Speaker 2: you've run into in the past, uh, it feels the
Speaker 2: problems feel more compounded. I think it's been you know,
Speaker 2: you mentioned that kind of by Anthony Davis. The thing
Speaker 2: that struck me is that, you know, I mean he's
Speaker 2: called these games must wins, you know, and I think, like,
Speaker 2: like sure, you know, you know, after losing to Cleveland
Speaker 2: and they got it was a butt kicking, like you know,
Speaker 2: after that game, I think, you know, saying like the
Speaker 2: next three in this trip are must wins. You know,
Speaker 2: that's what you say when you want to like win
Speaker 2: a road trip and stuff like that. But like he
Speaker 2: said in a way where he meant it and like
Speaker 2: to be honest, like they're not must wins, like you
Speaker 2: want to win them, of course, you know, but like
Speaker 2: this is the first week of November. This team's sort
Speaker 2: of fortunes are going to be written over the next
Speaker 2: six months. And you know, I think, like, like I
Speaker 2: understand what eight is trying to do and and trying
Speaker 2: to get his team to play with a sense of urgency,
Speaker 2: but like, I also think it leads to some overreaction
Speaker 2: when quite frankly, you know, like they had a really
Speaker 2: bad night against Detroit, a really bad night. That happens
Speaker 2: if they have a really bad night again tonight, you know,
Speaker 2: that's an issue. I think there are some emerging trends
Speaker 2: that have these guys Anthony Davis, Lebron James, you know, included,
Speaker 2: like a little worried. I think the bench production has
Speaker 2: been one of them. It's been pretty bad. I think
Speaker 2: among the worst in the league right now. That's that's
Speaker 2: something to be worried about. I think, you know, the
Speaker 2: defensive metrics have been pretty terrible. And for a team
Speaker 2: that has Anthony Davis to be this bad defending at
Speaker 2: the basket, you know, that's not that's not a great sign,
Speaker 2: you know. So I think there is a little I
Speaker 2: don't want to say panic, there's some worry about some
Speaker 2: of the things that this team isn't right now. But
Speaker 2: I mean, guys, we have a lot of basketball left.
Speaker 2: And I think here's the other thing to it. And
Speaker 2: this is going to sound like an excuse, and maybe
Speaker 2: it is, but you know, today is the the eleventh
Speaker 2: game out of fourteen down in the preseason that the
Speaker 2: Lakers have played away from Los Angeles. And you know
Speaker 2: who knows that stat? My wife, my kids know that stat.
Speaker 2: This team has not been like this has been a
Speaker 2: really really long month, and like I said, I think
Speaker 2: like I felt some of that in Detroit. Certainly, we'll
Speaker 2: see where they're at tonight in terms of their attitude
Speaker 2: and kind of their approach to this game and see
Speaker 2: how they bounce back. But you know, this is a
Speaker 2: team that's a little banged up. Guys are under the weather.
Speaker 2: It's been a really long road trip, and you know,
Speaker 2: for a team that's gonna be, you know, in the
Speaker 2: mix of like that back half of the playoff race,
Speaker 2: Like you know, that's that's probably how it should feel.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Did the first week of the season make people feel
Speaker 2: like maybe this is a team that could be up
Speaker 2: there with the thunder maybe a little bit, and and sure,
Speaker 2: maybe you can get there again, But you know, this
Speaker 2: is a team that if it's gonna win, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be on the backs of its best players, and it's
Speaker 2: going to be on the backs of its system, and
Speaker 2: it's still really learning its system.
Speaker 1: Well, Dan, I look at it like this, and I
Speaker 1: think Lakers and Clippers different teams. Lakers better than the Clippers,
Speaker 1: but both sort of this way. At any given night,
Speaker 1: they're an average NBA team. They'll win some, they'll lose some,
Speaker 1: but I don't sense a great deal of expectation of
Speaker 1: either one of them winning the title. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're objective at the beginning of the year, let's just
Speaker 1: not be in the play in that's different. Then we
Speaker 1: got a shot to win this thing.
Speaker 2: So I think the Lakers, I think, I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: not around the Clippers every day, so it's not fair
Speaker 2: to totally judge what their expectations are. But you can
Speaker 2: just look at how they've acted, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: in terms of the moves they've made and not made,
Speaker 2: and you can kind of tell kind of what kind
Speaker 2: of team they think they can be. I think in
Speaker 2: the Lakers case, like you know, I mean, they want
Speaker 2: to win, right, Like that's there is one goal for
Speaker 2: this team, and now how realistic that goal is I
Speaker 2: think is you know, to be determined. I think after
Speaker 2: the first week and particular and even how they played
Speaker 2: in Phoenix and a loss like that, this team thought,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe our expectations for what for what we
Speaker 2: could be maybe they were shifting a little bit. And
Speaker 2: and I think that's why you hear things like, you know,
Speaker 2: the frustration in Anthony Davis's voice. You know, despite the
Speaker 2: fact that, like I said, they're they're about five hundred,
Speaker 2: they're above five hundred, and we're in the second week
Speaker 2: of the season. You know, this is a team that's
Speaker 2: gone off the very bad starts the past few years.
Speaker 2: It's in better position on that front. I think it's
Speaker 2: fair to say that, you know, they will grow more comfortable. J. J.
Speaker 2: Reddick will grow more comfortable in the job that he's
Speaker 2: tasked with. Those things will continue to kind of trend northward,
Speaker 2: and if they stay healthy, I think they'll be a
Speaker 2: better team in a month than they are today. But
Speaker 2: but I think their expectations jumped really uh and I
Speaker 2: think part of that has to do with the continuity
Speaker 2: they have. You know, this is a core that went
Speaker 2: to the Conference finals two years ago. This is a
Speaker 2: team that felt like if it could just get more organized,
Speaker 2: if it could just have a better system to fall
Speaker 2: back on, this could have clearer role definition, maybe they
Speaker 2: would have a better chance in that frunt and and
Speaker 2: I think they've gotten or there's a sense that they're
Speaker 2: going to get those things and so maybe maybe they
Speaker 2: think more of it. I'm not there on them yet.
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see. You know, they've got some It's
Speaker 2: got kind of an interesting stretch of schedule here where
Speaker 2: you know, they can start stacking good ones. But to
Speaker 2: your point, I mean they're good enough to I mean
Speaker 2: they're good enough to lose to Detroit, Like that game
Speaker 2: was never really in question, and the loss in Cleveland
Speaker 2: was the same. You know, that game was never really
Speaker 2: in question.
Speaker 1: Now, So so where do you feel that they they are? Dan?
Speaker 4: Is it just still a feeling out period until Christmas
Speaker 4: or the new year? And you know, Daj's kind of
Speaker 4: getting his feet set and we're figuring out if Lebron
Speaker 4: and a D can you know, continue on. Obviously those
Speaker 4: two being healthy is the key to everything. But the
Speaker 4: supporting cast is there a need for some help? Is there?
Speaker 4: Is it the supporting cast is going to get better.
Speaker 4: I mean, who has to get better in order for
Speaker 4: this team to feel like or at least the fans
Speaker 4: to feel like they can make a run come come March.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think they need to tick up,
Speaker 2: you know, shooting the basketball. Austin Whos and Dangel Russell
Speaker 2: have to shoot it better than they have to start
Speaker 2: this season. I think, you know, they need to be
Speaker 2: more consistently competitive on defense. They were really really physical
Speaker 2: in the first couple of games of the season at home,
Speaker 2: and they were physical against Phoenix in Phoenix and then
Speaker 2: like you know, Cleveland kind of pushed them around. Detroit
Speaker 2: certainly pushed them around. You know, we'll see the night
Speaker 2: how that goes. But I think that's the thing that
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on. I mean, I think, you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's interesting early on it. But like Lebron and
Speaker 2: the first in the first three wins, right was like
Speaker 2: a very clearly defined secondary offensive option, closer to being
Speaker 2: on equal footing with some of the other players, Like
Speaker 2: he took over the game for a couple of stretches
Speaker 2: here and there. But but it really, you know, it
Speaker 2: was a little slow out of the gates and it
Speaker 2: opened up the door for Ruey Haachimura and different guys
Speaker 2: to to really kind of get system baskets, while like
Speaker 2: you know, in Cleveland, like Lebron kind of left the
Speaker 2: system a little bit. So like, you know, how comfortable
Speaker 2: is he going to be? And what JJ Reddick is
Speaker 2: being is asking them how comfortable is D'Angel Russell and
Speaker 2: that I think that stuff is all still being figured out,
Speaker 2: you know, honestly, and I think that's what you would expect, right.
Speaker 2: I think a more troubling thing has been the bench
Speaker 2: production generally speaking. Like you know, I think Max Christi
Speaker 2: is off to a really rough start to the season,
Speaker 2: and the Lakers had high hopes for him after signing
Speaker 2: him the summer. I think Gave Vincent has done some
Speaker 2: good stuff defensively, but it's not in a good offensive rhythm.
Speaker 2: And that's a guy that I think they need to
Speaker 2: put the ball in the basket a little bit. You know,
Speaker 2: we'll we'll see here soon. On Jared Vanderbilt, you know,
Speaker 2: as a guy who will help I think, you know
Speaker 2: somewhat with that defensive identity in that second, you know,
Speaker 2: but he's not gonna score, really, that's not him. So
Speaker 2: it's you know, what, how are they gonna how are
Speaker 2: they going to generate offense? You know in those stretches
Speaker 2: and from where? Like can all of this really be
Speaker 2: on their their top five? And you know, I think
Speaker 2: that's a lot to ask of that group, right, Like,
Speaker 2: I think they need more help. And so, you know,
Speaker 2: I getting Dalton connect more involved, getting you know, Max
Speaker 2: Christy more confident, and and you know, a guy who
Speaker 2: can score seven points a game off the bench, just
Speaker 2: kind of creating those those points by transition and you know,
Speaker 2: making an open shot that'll go a long way. And
Speaker 2: you know, those don't seem like huge adjustments, but like
Speaker 2: they're gonna matter when they happen. And if they don't happen,
Speaker 2: this team is going to have to make changes. They're
Speaker 2: gonna have to add they don't have enough.
Speaker 1: All right, One one quickly? Why we let you go?
Speaker 1: One final? One seventy six ers in town to take
Speaker 1: on the Clippers the return of Paul George. Do you
Speaker 1: think do you think the Clippers made the right move
Speaker 1: and letting him go? No, I don't either.
Speaker 2: I don't I think, and I mean I understand the
Speaker 2: logic behind it, right, I mean, like this wasn't a
Speaker 2: guy that was ready to play the start of the
Speaker 2: season either, right, Like, I mean, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: money to commit and a lot of years to commit
Speaker 2: to a player who's you know, hasn't been available, and
Speaker 2: you know, you the pairing with Kawhi Leonard had sort
Speaker 2: of run its course and stuff like that. But you know,
Speaker 2: being it into a dome, I was there for the opener.
Speaker 2: I just you know, you just wanted more excitements in
Speaker 2: the team. Like I love the spirit they play with.
Speaker 2: They play so hard on the defensive end, guys like
Speaker 2: you know, you know they have like they have the
Speaker 2: ability to like really junk up games and play with
Speaker 2: a lot of fight like they did the other night
Speaker 2: that that huge comeback win, like they possessed that. You
Speaker 2: just kind of wish there was more star power on
Speaker 2: the team, I think, And like, you know, like while
Speaker 2: the basketball reasons for not bringing back Paul George are
Speaker 2: probably good ones, I think you know, walking into that building, like,
Speaker 2: you know, I I think it would be more fun
Speaker 2: if it felt like a huge game every night.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you guys been over there yet?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean it's gorgeous building. Yeah, it's a gorgeous building
Speaker 2: like like, and it's just like you really wanted to
Speaker 2: bounce like that. That's what it was built for, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was built to be It was built to be
Speaker 2: a place that sort of rocked with the crowd.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to lean too hard into the wave
Speaker 2: motifs and stuff like that, but it was it was
Speaker 2: a place that was supposed to be loud and like
Speaker 2: you know, and there's no justtical friends, they made it
Speaker 2: as good of an environment as they can, but I mean,
Speaker 2: like it's just it's different cheering for Paul George than
Speaker 2: it is cheering for Derrek Jumps Junior. Like that's just different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you're wanting to make the crowd bounce.
Speaker 1: I mean the players.
Speaker 4: It's on the players to make it rock, you know,
Speaker 4: it's not on the fans to just rock it out
Speaker 4: of the blue. They gotta they gotta have something to
Speaker 4: rock to and they haven't had it really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for coming on, man, Thanks for.
Speaker 2: A lot of rocking. That's a lot of rocking, a
Speaker 2: lot of rocking.
Speaker 1: All right. Do you have any barbecue donar in Memphis
Speaker 1: or no?
Speaker 2: I had a pulled pork sandwich for lunch today. It
Speaker 2: was I was telling Kevin I had a pulled pork
Speaker 2: with a side of mac and cheese in the side
Speaker 2: of greens, and I gotta I gotta tell you greens,
Speaker 2: by the way, what a hack like the fact that
Speaker 2: that is not just a more readily available side. It
Speaker 2: tricks soon to think you're you're eating a vegetable really,
Speaker 2: that you're just like soaking it in pork juice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's And it wasn't any greens, Dan, it was turnip greens.
Speaker 1: Grandma used to make the turnip greens every holidays.
Speaker 4: And turnip greens versus the collared greens. I mean, you know,
Speaker 4: you pick your poison. But yes, you're right, Dan, it is.
Speaker 4: It's like French fries on the side.
Speaker 2: Side should be everywhere. It should be everywhere. You should
Speaker 2: be able to to McDonald's get like a big mac
Speaker 2: with a side of greens.
Speaker 1: All right, the safe, Dan, we'll talk again, all right,
Speaker 1: take Okay, I'm glad we got Dan out of the
Speaker 1: wind tunnel so we can answer the question. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: maybe we can. Maybe we can chantalyze everybody with Vick's
Speaker 1: former performance in the wind Tunnel.
Speaker 4: No oh oh yeah, down the home Stretch Rocket, Fred Rogan,
Speaker 4: you know day.
Speaker 1: Like to day especially, we need spirituality. Oh my god,
