Super producer and host Dave Sheppard. He's holding it down for us in New York City. And thank you to everybody locked in all over North America. You could be on the West Coast, the East Coast, the down South, the mountains, the Midwest, the great plains, the small plains, the little ones, Canada, an island. You could be at work. You could be prohibited from work. You could be on the road right now. You could be delivering stuff. There's all types of things you can deliver on a Friday night. Pizza and other things. Shout outs to you, whatever the hell you do.

And hopefully it is not illegal. I'm going to be with you for the next three hours. This is when I get started. 10 PM Eastern, 7 Pacific.

That's when I get started. So consider this our number two of the show. Right now, as I sit in this studio in Atlanta, Georgia, Colorado is smacking up Stanford to the shock of nobody.

14 to nothing. The first quarter just ended. Shadore Sanders is making this look too easy. Already has a hundred yards passing to go along with, with two touchdowns. Travis Hunter just returned from that, uh, what do I even call it?

Lacerated liver. This man came back and scored a touchdown already. And Deion Sanders gave him a big old hug. And Deion Sanders is not wearing his shades. He's not wearing his shades at night.

And that's good because I mean, for all the crap that he got about wearing his shades and his hat in the daytime, man, if he would have wore his shades at night, somebody would have been crapping on him next. Anyway, we'll talk about Deion. He, by the way, Deion didn't want to play this game at this time of night. We're going to hear from Deion momentarily.

Uh, James Harden has compared his relationship with the Sixers to a fractured marriage. We got some, uh, other great college games. Well, this one ain't great, but we should have a good one on Saturday between USC and then also Notre Dame. We got Oregon and Washington going at it.

So we got all these guys eligible for, uh, the Heisman just out here, slinging a rock around. And then we got games on Sunday in the NFL. And a lot of these games suck. I mean, if you got plans on Sunday night, don't watch football. Just find something else to do. Maybe actually spend that time with your friends. Maybe spend that time with your family, but under no circumstances, do not sit down and watch the Buffalo Bills and the Giants.

You will be wasting your time unless you got money on it and you feel that invested. Don't, don't watch this Daniel Jones list team try to compete with the Buffalo Bills who are angry that they went to London and lost. Okay. And we got a bunch of other games.

Bill Belichick is going to be taking on Josh McDaniel. So it's just, it's a lot going on. And so here's the deal. If you want to talk to me, I don't know why you would, but if you want to, the number is eight five five two one two four CBS.

That's eight five five two one two four CBS. I'm also on social media. I am at JR sport brief.

I am, uh, being inundated by people telling me about comedians. Why? Because at the beginning of the last hour, we talked about the fact that there's, there's no baseball tonight, right?

There's none. You got to wait until Sunday. Watch that and said, instead of a Sunday night football, we got the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros.

That is Sunday night, right? And then we had an opportunity to listen to someone whose voice over the past 20 years, I've been listening to this man. His voice has now graduated into the voice of God. He sounds like a narrator. He, he sounds like he should be in films. The man is, is Bruce Bochy.

Maybe I can represent him whenever he's sick of managing 30 year old baseball players, because the man sounds awesome. He just listened to him just talk about this upcoming matchup against Houston. Doing well. He, uh, he had a nice outing yesterday, um, uh, through around 60 pitches in that area. I have not talked to him about how he feels today. We have some time here before we set this roster, but, uh, have to be really encouraged with how he threw the ball, how he feels.

Uh, so we'll check on him as he, uh, gets his treatment today and see where we're at. You know, he was talking about that, uh, that often hurt picture that he has in Max Scherzer. He sounds like he should be narrating a Christmas movie. He sounds like Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman was hanging out with Jim Carrey as the voice of God. And then we started talking about the top comedians. And I said, look, when it comes to box office in the nineties, box office, big money films, blockbuster films, comedy, it's Jim Carrey.

He owned, he owned the nineties, man. It's him, Robin Williams, probably between the two of them comedy films, strictly comedy films. It's like one A and then one B probably Jim Carrey, just pushing them out and dumb and dumber and ace Ventura of the mask even had that role in that awful Batman movie. I think that was Val Kilmer liar, liar. This guy was killing it.

He ain't miss ace Ventura did not miss. We got a bunch of callers here. Let's talk to them. And then we're going to hear about, uh, Dionne. His team is currently winning 14 and nothing.

I wonder if he's still miserable that he got to play a game this late. Let's go ahead. I wasn't expecting that, but here we go. The mask. I haven't seen the mask in like 20 years.

I wonder if it still hits the same. John is calling from New York. You're on CBS sports radio. Hey, how you doing tonight? Good. Yeah. You and chef.

You're amazing as always tonight. Oh, I got a couple of things. First thing I'll get the movie thing out of the way. Uh, I think, uh, Tom Hanks, uh, has some comedies in there in the nineties that were box office.

Wait a minute. I don't think Tom Hanks and think comedy. He, he, he's not in he's not in that space with Jim Carrey. Come on. Well, what was his biggest toy story?

I mean, what are we doing here? I think, I think he probably made out gross Jim Carrey. I'm sure he did, but that's not what we're talking about.

So Jr in, in, in fairness to John's point, did you ever see you got mail with up in Seattle with a what's her name? Correct. That was a, that was a comedy league of their own. That was the comedy Turner and hoots. That was like Tom Hanks is underrated funny. He doesn't get the credit as a committed actor. The way that Jim Carrey gets as a dramatic actor, like love comedy that no league of their own league of their own wasn't a local Jr. He was one of the funniest baseball personalities in it. He was funnier than anybody from major league and league of their own. That's how good he was as a comedic actor. His films were not come see this to absolutely fall out your, you know what, and laugh, man. I just think he's an excellent, amazing actor. Am I going to call him a comedian? Like come laugh and ha ha like the nineties had drama and action and, and slapstick. Like Jim Carrey was, was, he was funny, funny, funny, different lane, man. You know what a lot of people consider Forrest Gump to be believe it or not. It's a comedy. Well, listen, man, I ain't talking about what anybody considers to be. Well, there is no ambiguity about a dumber and dumber, or ace Ventura.

Okay. If we got to sit here and split hairs about, Hey, you know what that, that was kind of funny. It's no man.

Ain't no, ain't no splitting hairs here. It's either a comedy or it's not Jim Carrey. This is not diehard. Is it a Christmas movie?

This is not what we doing right now. Well, Jim Carrey was good to John's point. Like Jim Carrey was goofier. Like he was no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You splitting hairs now, man. We ain't talking about goofy. Is the movie a comedy or not?

If you got to sit here and convince me about it being a comedy, it ain't. There's one Tom Hanks might've out grossed this man. Sure. Yeah. Tom Hanks.

Awesome. One of the greatest actors ever. But in the nineties, Jim Carrey had a space. It was a funny space.

There were no ends ifs or buts about it. Yeah. Thank you, John. What part of New York are you calling from? I'm from Rochester. Rochester.

I like Rochester. Did it get cold yet? Yeah.

It's like 50 degrees. Cool. I love it.

It's like my time of year. There's a brewery that I like off the, uh, off the river. You know what I'm talking about? It's off the, off the little waterfall. Yeah.

Genesee brewery. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Across from the Kodak building a couple blocks away. Yeah.

It's the oldest brewery in New York. It's like, yeah. They didn't tell me that when I was there. I'm surprised you telling more lies on the radio, John. No telling you the truth.

And one more thing real quick. I am going to watch that bills game because I'm a bills fan, but, cause you never know what's going to happen in the bills game. You know, my whole life, they keep inventing new ways to lose. It's, it's amazing. It's like, you think they got the game in the bag and some out of this world thing happens and they may end up losing.

It's, it's crazy. You never know what you're going to get. Maybe Todd Rod Taylor gets his revenge, right? Is that, that's what's going to happen? Yeah. There you go. You, you nailed it. That's the headline, man. It's going to be all over sports center.

Tyra comes back home. I'm telling you, man. Okay. Speaking of comedians, there's Anthony Anderson and Cedric, the entertainer. Who the hell?

I love them guys. Who the hell is Luke? Luke Grimes is a musician, right? Oh, Andrew Luck represents Stanford. He's at the game.

Everybody comes out to see Dion. Hey, John, hey, John, thank you for calling from Rochester. All right. Later. See you. Shep, he said, bye. I'll see you later, John. Good luck with the bills game.

I like your chances against Tyra Taylor. That was rude. He said, bye. You didn't say nothing. Oh, well, just ignore them. I mean, I'm taking calls. Oh, you're right. You're right. You're man of many talents here. Well, it takes one to know one.

Yeah. I'm just, what am I doing? I'm just sitting around being a jackass on a Friday night.

I know how to do that good. Doing a good job. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS.

It's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. Brock is calling from San Diego. What's up, Brock? Hey, good, good Friday to you, Jer.

I just got out of the ocean surfing. If I missed a couple people, I'm sorry. Adam Sandler had a pretty good set in the 90s too. Did you talk about him? Yeah. Well, no, we talked about who's number one and is there, is there a cop to number one? Adam Sandler is. No, there's nobody, nobody to Mr. Terry, but like I said, he's in the top three for sure. Yeah, he's, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He came on in the mid 90s, kind of pushed it into the 2000s. Yes, I'd agree. Hey, at least he didn't have a sitcom like the other callers are talking about. Yeah, yeah.

We ain't talking about no sitcoms. Thank you, Brock. Have a good weekend, brother. Thank you.

No doubt. My man just said, yeah, man, I just hopped out the ocean. He hopped out.

God bless him. Shout out to everybody who lives in an ocean that they can actually get in. Hey, Shep, when's the last time you jumped in that good old Atlantic ocean? All right, Jared, can I come again? I said, when's the last time you jumped into that good old Atlantic ocean? Ah, it's been a minute, man.

It's been a minute. Yeah. Yeah. Well, don't do it in New York. Okay.

That sounds good. Yeah. I'm not going to do anything in New York except not take the subway. Yeah, don't do that. Don't get in the water. Just don't go to Times Square either. Don't go to Times Square. Is Elmo still hustling people for pictures?

That would be the better scenario right now in Times Square, considering what's going on in the last 24 hours. Or Elmo punching you in the face and asking for a 20? Or the naked cowboy.

Yeah, because at least you know you're going to live. Wait. Is the naked cowboy still out there?

You know what's crazy? He was in Florida. He was in Florida when I was there visiting my grandma.

No joke. You saw him in Florida. He walked right by me. Was he naked? No, he was not naked. He wears underwear. Oh, no. Well, I know.

He had on his underwear and his boots. Yeah. And there's a naked cowgirl too that like walks with him. Yeah. She's older than him. Well, right.

Listen, if he likes the older ladies, that's his thing. Good for him. Yeah. I've spoken to him quite a few times. Really? Yeah.

Just in Times Square passing by. He's been there for a million years. Is he all there? I think he is. Okay.

He's enough to hustle tourists. Yes. Gotcha. Gotcha. Come on, man. This dude is standing in Times Square in white underwear, cowboy boots and a hat.

And then when it gets to be 20 degrees outside, he's putting on a leather jacket over it. Like, come on. I remember when 2020 hit all of us and COVID was obviously a very serious thing and everyone was staying at home. Not him.

Yeah. They would have like a special segment on like the Today Show, on CBS mornings. And it was like the naked cowboy was the only one out in Times Square.

And this was like, this was when it was like March. Yo, where the hell does he live? He got a hotel down the block?

I think, I do think he stays at a hotel. You're right. That ain't cheap over there, man. Well, he's got, but he's got some kind of deal though.

There's no, there's no question. It's like a sponsor. Yeah.

He don't got no hotel slapped on the back of his ass. I mean, come on. That's well, there's, there's somebody putting him up. Let's, let's put it that way.

Cause what he does as much as he's hustling. Yeah. As much as he's hustling to stay at a hotel in Midtown in New York City, you're paying an easy $500 a night. And that's not even for a suite.

It depends on what hotel. Times Square. He got a sugar mama. It's all, maybe that's what the naked cow lady is doing.

That's, that's, uh, anyway, it sounds all illegal to me. Bill is calling from Green Bay. What's up, Bill? JR, how is it?

How it goes? What's up? I can't believe, now I haven't been listening since you started tonight, but I can't believe no one's mentioned Wisconsin's own Chris Farley, passes away in 97. He has three more years that he could have pumped out some more, but for the movie he did have. He was, he was mentioned, Bill. He was. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Well, I wouldn't, I would say he's on the same level, but for the fact that but for the fact that he passed in 97, he didn't have that chance to get a full, full decade out of the nineties, you know? Yeah. Well, I can only live in what existed. I hear you. I hear you. Appreciate you. Thank you.

No doubt. Curtis calling from California. What's up, Kurt?

Hey, what up, JR? It's, uh, one of your and Shep's customers. Oh, if, if, if I'm not here, we lose customers.

I think you lose customers. All right. Okay.

What's up? I can't help it. I, I still remember that call. No, he's amazing.

JR, when you're not here, this station loses customers. Yeah. I love it. He's amazing. Yeah.

What's up? Uh, has, uh, Eddie Murphy and, uh, Arsenio hall when they were doing Beverly Hills cop trading places. And when, uh, Eddie Murphy's dad was the king or is that a different time?

Is that a different time to America is in the eighties and it's a different timeframe. Yeah. I'm talking about the nineties and I don't think Eddie Murphy, even between, I don't know, the nutty professor and I don't know what else you could throw in there.

The clumps, the Beverly Hills cop. Uh, yeah, yeah. Kind of, sorta, but I still think if you were to add up the gross, I think Jim Carrey would have him beat. Jim Carrey is probably at the top of the hill. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

He's, he's number one. And I think, I think maybe Eddie, Eddie and maybe Robin Williams would probably be in that, that, that two or three. Um, but no, no doubt.

It's a Jim Carrey and everybody else. Thank you, Kurt. See you later, Jerry. No doubt.

No doubt. Robbie's calling from Jacksonville. What's up, Robbie? Hey, Jerry, what's going on tonight, man. Hey, so first off, um, I am just, I'm mesmerized that, um, Adam Sandler didn't, didn't get me, you know, love man, big daddy, water boy, happy Gilmore, wedding fingers, mid late nineties.

He ain't have that same stretch, man. And those movies, those movies didn't make money. Like Jim Carrey's films. No, Jim Carrey. Hey, he's the, he's the winner as far as, you know, box office. That's what I'm talking about.

No, I know that, man. I just had to get some love to Adam Sandler. Um, it was this year. He was on the show like January, February. We had Adam Sandler on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You did have him on. He was on for like two with Anthony Edwards. That's right. Yeah.

Him and Anthony Edwards came on to the show. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was for hustle. Yeah. That came out. Yeah. It had to be this year.

I was told, I believe it was 20, 22. We do it big here, man. Oh, you do it. Michael B. Jordan was here on the show. Ice cube ice cubes on the show magic, Mia ham magic, Lindsey Vong, one other Bernie Mo. Yeah.

Mariano Rivera, Bernie. Yeah. We do a big over here. Oh, go ahead. No, no, you're good, man. Um, so last thing I wanted to say, um, so you mentioned Morgan Freeman too, and, uh, the movie Ted, right?

Ted to, um, the Teddy bear. I wish I could. Yeah.

He, he, he goes, I wish I could sleep on a bed of your voice. Yeah. That's, that's Morgan Freeman right there, man. Um, that's, that's about all I gotta say.

All right. Thank you, Robbie. It's shout outs to Robbie who's Jacksonville. Jaguar's a part in the pun, but they are coming back to America.

They are, they, they they're back in America. We'll talk about them. Jags Brandon is calling from Chicago.

You're on CBS sports radio. Hi, um, Tom Hanks is the comedic actor who ventured off of the serious role, but he's, his origins are, uh, sitcom, uh, bosom buddies, but he is a comedic actor. Is he a comedian blockbuster comedian?

Like, come on. Yes. He actually started on the movie with Sally field called punchline where he's a comedian who's trying to, uh, uh, um, teach how they feel about new comedy was, was that in the eighties or the nineties?

I, I, I, I couldn't say exactly, but, Oh, I'm talking about the nineties, Jim Carrey. Yeah. Oh, I'm not sure as far as monetary wise, but I just wanted to throw that in. And, uh, you have a great evening. Thank you. Well, thank you, Brandon. Yeah.

I'm talking about the money money. Moolah eight five five two one two four. CBS brand is calling from San Diego. What's up, Brandon.

Hey, how's it going? Um, I just want to say I do agree with you that Jim Carrey was number one in the nineties and Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy are up there. However, I think you're forgetting a fourth comedian, uh, Martin Lawrence. He had a lot of big hits over there, like big mama's house and all those other movies. Uh, yeah, but it wasn't, it wasn't that, uh, that Jim Carrey level.

Oh no, Jim Carrey is definitely number one, but I feel he's like top four. Yeah. Yeah.

Martin. Yeah. Top 10. Yeah. Top 10. Most definitely bad boys. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

He was, he was there. Well, Jared, thank you. I appreciate, I appreciate you taking my call. What's the weather like in San Diego right now?

Make us jealous. Oh, that's great. It's probably around nighttime right now.

It's probably like 60. Oh, same here as in Georgia. Okay.

All right. Shep, how's the weather in New York? Like there's like year round over here. Shep, what's the weather like up there? Uh, 60 and sunny today.

55 and rainy tomorrow. Great. Sorry. Just great.

Anyway. Hey Brandon, you be safe out there. Have fun in San Diego for us. You too, JR. Take care.

All right. Shout out to all the military and all them wonderful folks holding it down in San Diego. It's the JR sport re-show here on CBS sports radio. Hey, Colorado is smacking Stanford 22 to nothing. Maybe Deion Sanders is actually happy now at how late this game started.

They whooping that ass. We're going to hear from Deion on the other side of the break. He's going to complain about these late start times.

He's like, man, why we got to play so late? It's the JR sport re-show CBS sports radio. Out of all the talk show hoes that this station be putting on. You're the best, man. You're the best. When you're not on, they lose customers. You're listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio.

You're listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio. I really, really respect you, man. I don't always agree with you, but you are really, really good at your job. Smart, well-spoken guy. And I respect how you listen to people, even if they have different opinions on you.

And you seem like one of the rare people in your industry who's willing to hear things and potentially change your mind. So I love that. Call in now at 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. Colorado, you're playing Stanford right now.

22 to nothing. They're leading about four and a half minutes left in the first half of the game. Travis Hunter, the guy who got leveled. Remember Colorado state got popped in the midsection, ended up with a lacerated liver, missed I think about three games.

He came back tonight and he has already caught a touchdown. So Colorado trying to move their record up to five and two. It's what's going to happen. Stanford stinks.

They're going to fall to one and five. Andrew Luck is standing on the sidelines here for Stanford. I know he didn't want to play for the Indianapolis Colts.

I don't know how much eligibility he has, but I think he's about the only thing that can go out there and save Stanford. And look, Deion Sanders, he made it real clear earlier on in the week. He didn't want to play this game at this time of night. He's like, I got to sit around all day with my players.

What the hell am I supposed to do with them? And then he's saying at this time of night, people, people, especially on the East coast, they going to bed. He's starting our games at 10 PM Eastern time. Must I remind you when they played that crazy game against Colorado state, the one where Deion was, Oh, my mama taught me to take off my hat and my glasses. And that was a Saturday night game. That game also started at 10 20 Eastern time on the East coast, obviously Eastern time. And that game didn't finish until past 2 AM. I left my, listen, I left my house on Saturday night. I went out on Saturday night. I watched the game in the background. I came home and that game was still on. I'm like, what the hell is this about?

And so Deion, he talked about this on his own radio show. He's like, why are we playing so damn late? What are we supposed to do with the kids all day until eight o'clock? Wait till we're on the road. What are we supposed to do all day until eight o'clock? So what are you supposed to do in the hotel? What are you supposed to do all day? Watching football.

Who's playing on Friday? That's the dumbest thing ever happened. I know. I know. It's those fellows over the television side.

That's the stupidest thing ever invented in life. Who wants to stay up to eight o'clock for a during game? What about the West coast?

I mean the East coast. Do they even care about ratings or anybody watching it? I mean, people are going to watch, but people also going to check out.

That's just the reality of it. I mean, I'm sitting here watching. I'm sitting in the studio. I'm talking to you. I'm looking at the game.

I'm looking at multiple games. I'm looking at Victor Winbenyama Euro step from the three-point line. This man's Euro step is one step from the three point line and he's at the basket. He's like a monster. He makes no sense, but it's the best he's like a monster.

He makes no sense. But anyway, I, I, I agree with Dion and I understand you want to give every team and every conference an opportunity to get their shine and typically PAC 12. It don't exist no more, but typically historically, man, they, they play their games at night.

And so you have a chance and an opportunity, you know, every conference gets its window. You start early, you end late. You can watch college football starting at noon on the East coast and you could watch it until almost one, 2 AM in the morning.

I mean, how many people really want to do that though? I I'm with them. We got late start times for everything. And now that we have so many of these teams just switching conferences, is it going to matter the same way? When we got PAC 12 schools moving to, to, to big tens or do we still need to start these games at, at 10 o'clock at night?

Like it is doing too much. It is. You don't have to wait too long. Colorado going to be the hell up on out the PAC 12, just like everybody else. By the way, they've already had three 10 AM starts. And if you ask me, that's, that's early. You know, but Hey, you got to find a perfect medium for everybody.

You take it where you can get it. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. Dion must be happy that he's winning this game right now. He's not happy with the start time. When we come back from break, I'm going to tell you about somebody else who is not happy. He finally spoke to the media.

It's James Harden. He compared his situation with this, the Philadelphia 76ers. He said, it's like being in a broken marriage.

I wonder if Will and Jade account. Does that shepherd, is that, is that broken or separate? What do you classify that as? Separated, right? Without question.

It is separated. I wonder if James Harden feels the same way. It's the JR sport re-show on CBS sports radio. You're listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio. I love hearing you every day. I get off work on the way home. I love hearing you. And I'm glad you live in the great state that we live in. Call in now at 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. Yeah, I love living in Georgia.

Shout out to Tennessee though, too. Get paid. Shout out to Young Dolph, God rest his soul. Hey, listen, somebody getting paid as well. It's James Harden. He's made a lot of money to play a lot of games, be a top 75 player, to be an MVP. But then also he's got a lot of money to burn teams down at the end. On the way out of Houston, he crapped on his teammates.

Basically he said, we ain't good enough to win nothing. They had no choice but to trade him to Brooklyn. He gets to Brooklyn.

He's a part of that, that you know what show with Kyrie and, and Durant ultimately he wants to leave. And now he goes to Philadelphia. And then he goes to Philadelphia and says, Oh, I always wanted to be in Philly. I didn't want to go to Brooklyn.

And now I'm here. And Doc Rivers crapped on him. And then he has his old GM from Houston, Daryl Morey with him. And then he's thinking Daryl Morey is going to pay him in perpetuity.

He calls Daryl Morey a liar. He said he wants to be traded. And as of right now, he's still on the Sixers. He's been practicing with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Let's keep in mind the game starting a couple of weeks. His preferred destination is to go play for the Los Angeles Clippers with an injury prone, let's call him Kawhi Leonard and an injury prone Paul George. And so that'll be a fun team to watch. Russell Westbrook, James Harden, if the trade happens, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. I mean, what the four of them are going to do? Not play?

I have no idea. Russell Westbrook will play in every game and people will blame him for them being bad. That's just how the world works. And so James Harden actually spoke to the media for the first time in a formal way since he stood in China and said, Daryl Morey is a liar. And James Harden made it real clear. When I got here to the Sixers, I planned on finishing my career here, but the Sixers?

Oh, listen to this. When I got traded here, my whole thing was I wanted to retire a Sixers. You know what I mean? Like I wanted to be here and retire a Sixers.

And the front office didn't have that in their future plans. You know what I mean? So like it's literally out of my control. It's something that I didn't want to happen and it's just a being in this position.

But I got to make a decision for my family to understand this is a business. You know what I mean? So it's just as simple as that. Oh, whatever. He's past the point of his career where he's going to be consistent.

That's it. He will consistently set somebody else up to score. That's not what he wants to do. He led the league in assists last year, but when it comes to scoring at the rate that he used to, he ain't that guy no more.

And so, yeah, sure. He can go into a playoff series and drop 45 points in one particular game. And then the next one, he might might have 10. That's just what he is. He's 34 years old. He got a lot of miles on him when he played out in Houston. He was playing every game. He had the ball in his hand for every play. He's cooked and he's still semi all-star and he's cooked. Just the facts. And then he was asked, okay, yeah, sure. You told everybody that you want to be traded.

You told the public that down Maury is a liar. And so is there a possibility that y'all can fix this? This is not even about this situation. This isn't life. Like when you lose trust in someone, you know what I mean? It's like a marriage. Like you lose trust in someone. It's like, you know what I mean?

So, you know, it's pretty simple. I know there's a bunch of married people listening right now, and maybe they've lost trust in their partners. They still together. Like you, you can eventually work it out.

Right. I mean, I'm not married. I haven't been married. I ain't got no experience, but I mean, people fix it. I mean, I'm not married. I haven't been married. I ain't got no experience, but I mean, people fix matters of, uh, you know, infidelity, right?

You can, you can overcome those things. James Harden ain't been married either as far as I know how the hell would he know? He just doesn't want to. I mean, they, they're going to have to move him what they move them for, what they get back.

I, I don't know. Does anybody want James Harden besides the Clippers? Does anybody want James Harden besides the Clippers? I heard Miami don't want him. To be honest, I liked James Harden when he was in Houston. He just balled out.

He was, he was great to watch on league pass any night. Here's 30 points. Here's 40 points. Here's 50.

The man was amazing to watch. Them days are over. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. It's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. Carlos is calling from Miami. What's up, Carlos. Hey, how are you?

This first time caller. I love your show, man. You're, uh, you really put everything on, on, on, on point all the time. I'm with you all the time, man. I can't, uh, explain what a, what a, what a good, uh, person you are, man. You're doing an excellent job in that radio station, man. I want to congratulate you, man.

I wanted to bring the topic, uh, real quick of last night. I was hearing you talking to your colleague about a 16 year old, uh, that he knew a 16 year old dad, uh, that he became a 16 year old dad, a friend of his, I guess. And you didn't know, I heard you say that you didn't know anybody that, you know, that you've heard. And I am, I happen to be one of them at 16 years old, as a matter of fact. And, um, uh, well, eventually I grew up with, I don't know, parents. Uh, I lost my parents when I got here from Cuba, uh, to Miami and it was a rough life. You know, my grandmother was totally blind and she raised me totally blind with three siblings and it, it, it kind of like mature to me ahead of time. And at 15 years old, I was already living alone. I was already living alone. And, but I became very mature and very independent ahead of time because of the situation.

But, uh, I started, uh, producing there for my, my family at that age of 15, 16. And you were 16 and how many kids did you have? I got three kids.

I got three kids, 42, 41 and 31. As a matter of fact, if you look at, uh, in 2013, there was a little baby that went viral with the Birdman, uh, went all over Facebook. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. There's a couple of Birdmans. You talking about Birdman, Chris Anderson?

Yes, sir. I'm the grandfather of that little baby that was with the Birdman on Facebook, Instagram, all over the news. I happen to be his grandfather. What were they doing with Birdman? He's a wild dude. What were they doing with him? Well, eventually, uh, my daughter and my son were at home that were bored and they started playing around with the baby.

He was only eight months and they started, uh, pulling his hair back sideways and they decided to spike it up and they put a, a little heat Jersey off. They took a picture and they posted it on Facebook. And from that point, the whole media in Miami an hour later started contacting my daughter. And that's what led for the meets and greets.

And they met one-on-one and it was just, you know, it was a very nice, uh, thing, you know, that happened there at the moment, but her intentions were not those. It just happened to be that it blew up and, uh, it took us all the way down there, right. But, you know, going back to where I was telling you real quick, um, yes, I became a young dad, uh, very mature. I had a time because of the situation and that might be growing up sooner.

And what I did is I, I became, uh, I, I went to school to, uh, learn transmission mechanics, rebuilding automatic transmissions. Oh, well, I'm glad, I'm glad everything, uh, worked out. It sounds like your kids, your grandkids, everybody's doing good Carlos.

Everybody's doing good, man. I want, I wanted you to meet me on the phone to be the first one, because I heard you said that you didn't know anybody. So here I am. Yeah. Well, I was at, I said five kids, you only got three, so it's too late.

You needed two more. Yeah, you beat me, man. Thank you. And I'm going to give you the, uh, the Superbowl prediction of this year. Go ahead.

Just name the teams. It's going to be San Francisco against the Dolphins and San Francisco is going to beat us. Okay. Well, thank you, Carlos.

That means there'll be a lot of offense there. Be safe. Thank you.

No problem. Hey chef, who the hell did I mention had, uh, was 16 and a half, five kids. I know I said that last night.

Do you remember who and why? I don't know. I must've read that somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. You must've, uh, yeah.

I don't, I don't remember who that was very, uh, someone we are not familiar with. Let's put it that way. It was like a 16 year old who had, uh, what'd I say? Five kids. Yeah. And that's a very busy 16 year old. Yeah. 16 year old, five kids.

Got to get the priorities. He called me to tell me he had three kids at 16. I'm like, man, you didn't, you didn't hit the mark, bro. It's still pretty impressive. I mean, yeah, I, I, he made it sound like it was five.

I guess he misunderstood what you were saying. Um, but three kids at 16. I mean, that's just infathomable to me to be, it's infathomable to be a parent. To be 16 years old and to be a parent. Yeah. That's that's how I have five kids to have a kid, have a kid at 16 years old. Uh, no, that's, that's the, the, the, listen to me sound like a, uh, a 1990s infomercial for, I don't know, protection and dare or whatever, but teen pregnancy has gone down.

Has to, has to, I'm almost certain of it has to. Yeah, I know. I agree. People are in their phones and they listen to me. I don't, I said, I said a word earlier today. I should get canceled. I'm going to get canceled off of what I'm going to say next. Shep, you ready for it?

Always. Listen, there's young men today. They're doing video games and phones and stuff and, and women and young ladies are doing phones and they're not, they're not going outside to meet people to do some things. You know what I'm saying, Shep?

I do, but you know, let's be honest. I mean, in the fifties and sixties, they were spending more time outside than kids of the eighties and nineties. They just had their priorities in order and they were more responsible.

I ain't talking about no damn fifties. I'm talking about today versus what things were where all types of young people were having babies today. People aren't even interacting with each other to, you know, do some things. They're more worried about how many followers they get, how many likes they get. They're stupid.

A hundred percent. Why look at, why look at the, well, whatever sex you're interested in. Why look at them on a phone when they're in the room with them and they looking at them in a phone instead of looking at them in the face? Well, I mean, uh, they're missing out.

Yeah, they are. I agree with you. On things. On things.

It's terrible. I would agree with you. And, and, and those things are, uh, some of the most memorable things of our lives. Giggity goo.

Yep. Listen, man, we're going to have a population of zero once technology, uh, gets a hold of even more of our kids because nobody's going to procreate. They're going to be looking at their phone.

I don't know how you can get canceled for what you just said. I think everyone shares the same sentiment. JR. Well, I said, uh, I could go in on young men right now, but why would I? I'm a young man myself. Damn right. I am. It's the JR sport ratio on CBS sports radio. Talk more basketball. We're going to get into these NFL games.
