1/3/25 - Hour 3

Rich and the guys discuss what the College Football Playoff would look like if they’d stuck with the old 4-team format instead of expanding to 12 this year.

O’Shea Jackson Jr joins Rich in-studio to discuss his new ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’ movie, his ‘No-Contest Wrestling’ podcast with TJ, the state of his beloved Lakers and LeBron possibly playing another 7 years and if L.A. should trade for Jimmy Butler, the Dodgers’ World Series title and Fat Joe’s ill-fated Game 3 performance, and more.

Starting on Monday from 12 to 3 Eastern time, you can listen to the Rich Eisen Show on the Infinity Sports Network. We're very excited to be joining a network on radio for the first time in years. You know, it was five years ago. Actually, last week that we were informed by our former, I guess, benefactors, the folks at AT&T that we were done there and we were done with our previous radio experience as well. Five years ago last week, our world blew up.

And look at us, guys. We're going back on Terrestrial Sports Talk Radio Network and into that network world. We're very excited about it. We're switching Sirius XM channels to 158 starting Monday. So if you're driving around right now listening to us on our Sirius XM feed, snap in channel 158. I know I just used an old-school term about snapping it into your radio. Right?

Brockman's like, what? You know, the eight-track tape. Stream for free on the Odyssey app or odyssey.com as well on the Infinity Sports Network. We're very excited about that.

844-204-RICHES is the number to tell how to talk with us. We started the program talking about last night's Sugar Bowl. Unbelievably, the first 12-team college football playoff bracket tournament ever, where the first four games are played on a college campus. And then the next four games are played in big-time New Year's Day bowl sites. And the first ever version of this has spat out four teams that did not sit out a week. They had to play in the first round game and none of the bi-week teams made it. Every single team that had to play a game before the four bi-week teams played a game have won two in a row. And those teams are your final four teams.

Wow. The bi-week meant nothing. Actually, what the bi-week kind of meant is a rusty team? I don't know if Georgia obviously losing its quarterback is significant. And you could also say, with all due respect to our friends at Boise State, and I guess Arizona State in the long run really gave it to Texas, but could not get through, that the college football playoff committee might need to take a look at how they run this tournament. Or will we say that this is a complete an anomaly and an outlier because the college football playoff committee, in my opinion, will do nothing.

They will change nothing. They will just say, that's just the way our first ever version of this tournament went. And nothing will change because we still will value conference champions and give them a bi-week.

And anybody else who makes it, good luck doing what the first four final four teams did, which is win a home game and then vanquish an opponent that's more rested than them. There was a Dan Wetzel yesterday who pointed out this was created and the concept was created when the Pac-12 was still intact. So the Mountain West wouldn't have gotten an automatic bye. So Boise wouldn't have gotten the bye. Boise was ninth in the final college football rankings. And Arizona State winning was kind of an accident, I guess, but they were 12th. So under which the tournament was created, they expected fully the Pac-12 to be involved. So there you would have had the Pac-12 champ, Oregon, being the number one overall team. And then it would have looked a little less chaotic than having the ninth and 12th team get first-round byes.

So what do you do? You then just say only the top four conferences get a bye? No, you just say the top four teams get a bye, regardless of if you win the conference championship or not. Which now you leave it into the hands of people, not to sound like Mike Leach here, people sitting in a room, hanging out, watching television, sitting on their couches, or their barca lounges that the hotel that they're meeting at put it in for them.

I mean, and thus it leaves it up to decision makers. But the top four were the best teams, really. Well, I mean, look, let's utilize how it would have been, right, if it was just a four-team tournament. Let's take out the other eight. Let's just say if it was just like last year. Who would the four teams have been in? Well, according to the final rankings, Oregon was one, Georgia two, Texas and Penn State.

But then that brings up what we talked about pre-show. Does Georgia make it? Because the whole argument against Florida State last year was, oh, their quarterback got hurt, don't care that they're undefeated, it's a TV show, we want competitive games, they're out. Well, Carson Beck got hurt in the SEC championship game, hurt his elbow, out for the year. How do they still make it? I still think they make it because they're the SEC champion.

And who's going to look at Greg Sankey in the face and say your champion doesn't make it because we don't believe they have a shot to win it all because of the backup quarterback? Well, clearly they don't. Notre Dame, who was five in the final rankings, won yesterday. So they obviously had a case.

I understand that. So let's just say, you know, there's no way they would have left Georgia off. None. No, I don't think they would have. The Big Ten champ would have made it. Oregon would have made it. Georgia would have made it. And then the argument would have been- Does the SEC get two teams?

Right. Does Texas make it? Does Notre Dame make it? And I think Notre Dame probably would have made it over Texas.

So then- And Ohio State- So two Big Ten teams then. Ohio State maybe would have won it all, wouldn't have even made it. Michigan would have knocked them out.

Yeah. Or Ohio State could have gone over Notre Dame. I doubt it. I think that loss to Michigan would have knocked them out. Well, Ohio State could have went over Penn State since head to head. Ohio State could have- or Ohio State could have made it winning the Big Ten championship game, which they would have made anyway against Penn State, I think. Yeah, they would have made it anyway because Oregon would have been a non-conference game. It's kind of silly because Oregon was on their schedule only because it was a conference game.

Right. But just say- let's just say they would have played Oregon just to have played them. Or they wouldn't have played Oregon. Honestly, like if this was last year, they wouldn't have played Oregon.

They'd be in. Or they would have played in the Big Ten championship game even after losing to Michigan. But all I think what we're saying is, is of the teams that have made it, it's entirely possible one or two of them wouldn't have made the Final Four last year.

Those who have made it now have the benefit of having a 12-team tournament, as opposed to a four-teamer last year. It's just tough to see eight games and seven be not close at all. And if it wasn't for Cam Scattaboo, it would have been eight. If it wasn't for that kid who caught for 99 and ran for almost 150 and is throwing it too.

I mean, that kid was unreal. It would have been almost eight for eight, which strikes me again. Next time around, somehow you've got to be able to tell some of these bowl sites, I'm sorry. Oregon, whoever gets the bye gets to have a home game. Because the advantage of the bye doesn't mean anything. It's not like the NFL, where you play a week 18, then you get a bye, and then you play. You get a home game. You get a home game after the bye. But in the NFL, a bye week does mean a lot because you're in the middle of a week-to-week slog. In college football, your last game is either the last Saturday of November or the first Saturday of December.

And then your first game is the 20th or the 21st or the 22nd. What does the bye week mean? Everybody who's playing a first-round game just got a bye. Honestly, every single team that played in the first round got a bye. You know, Ohio State, and I'm not bringing it up just because it's to my benefit, had a two-week bye. They were off. They didn't play in a conference championship game. You know? So, it's not perfect at all by any stretch of the imagination. But the one thing that I would say is that if you get a bye, you shouldn't just get a neutral site game.

You should get one at home. And then also, the college football playoff committee. I know we had Ward Manuel, the Michigan AD, who was the chairman of this committee.

I know he came in and said, we did not match people up based on what we think was the best first-round matchup. And we just ranked them 1 through 12, and the seeds fell the way that they did. They've got to do away with that, too. They've got to do away with that also, in my estimation.

And you've got to look down the road a little bit, too. What could the possible matchup be in the next round? Because for Penn State to lose their Big Ten championship game and then get games against SMU and Boise State, and the winner of the Big Ten championship gets a week off and Ohio State. That's just not equitable. Right. It's not equitable.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Because guess who would be home right now if they had to play Ohio State, if they had won the Big Ten championship game? His Nittany Lions. Because nobody was beating that Ohio State team that showed up in Pasadena on Wednesday. I mean, you all know that.

Come on, pal. I think it's just too bad, too. We've been talking about an expanded playoff for years and years and years.

Finally, it gets put into effect, and it happens this year. And every game is just one giant womp, womp. It's tough as a fan. It's tough to sell this to the fan base and be like, this is what you were waiting for.

Celebrate it. These games have been terrible. That said, I think everybody pegged Oregon and Ohio State as the most competitive game, and the Buckeyes turned it into a non-competition within a minute. That game was over fast.

Right? So, I think the way around it is you've got to get, a bye week doesn't matter when the other teams that you're facing had two weeks off to begin with before they played the game that you sat around at home. Even when it was a four team, though, teams would have a month off. Right. And plus, I'm sure the pushback would be you can't have a game on campus on New Year's Day or the 31st. There's nobody on campus. I mean, everybody's on a winter break.

I don't know what the answer is. I'm throwing some out on the table. Make the bowl games the first set of games. Make that the first set of games. Those guys don't get the home game. Then make that second game a home game.

I hear you, Mike. Right? Make the bowl games. The bowl games are the playing games of the first round.

Of the opening round. And then the team with the bye get rewarded with home games. They get the home game. There you go. So New Year's Day is not a bowl site.

New Year's Day is a campus site. Exactly. I like that. Now you're going to get the fans. Now you don't care.

You're going to get the fans. The bowl committee would not like that. I mean, also the Rose Bowl being played on December 20th. That's a little different. Well, plus, you know, honestly, part of the reason why I know a bunch of Wolverines that and who fellow Wolverines who were at the Relia Quest Bowl, because it's December 31st and they get to hang out in Florida with their family for a vacation. It's different on December 20th, pal. No, I know.

That was incredible. Dude, this is what I do for a living. Goodness.

I purposely left the Clippers off, even though they have a better record than the Lakers. Yeah, but like nothing else. See, I'm doing you a solid. Nothing else, bro. Who cares? What else? Who cares? Me.

USC fumbled, and UCLA fumbled a bag in their first year in the Big Ten. Left that off. Wow.

What else? How's Michigan doing? Better. Amazing. Better. I know I'm talking to a University of Southern California grad.

Notice I didn't reach out to you on the Michigan USC weekend because I'm a friend. Okay, chill out, bro. See, I'm balancing it out now. Fifth inning, Chris Brockman. Fifth inning, bro. Fifth inning, bro. This is what we've been doing. Yeah.

You know, Rich. Yes, sir. I knew when you picked me up that this was going to be a hostile work environment, but I'm a guest today. I'm a guest today, and I won't be treated as such, dude.

This is unreal. TJ. Yes. Do I got to tag you in, dude? Yes.

Yes. Hi, Mr. Jackson. How are you today, sir? Mr. Jackson, bro. I'm treating you like a guest. You don't have to talk to me like that. Yes, sir.

Have you on the show today? Yes, sir. What's up, dude? How's everything? It's good with you, man. Everything's good with you, I'm sure.

Everything's great with me. I know. I know, right? The reception for this movie is not even out yet. It's significant. Yeah.

I'm sure you're feeling it right now. I saw it for the first time about a week ago. Okay. And honestly, obviously, Straight Outta Compton has a spot in my heart.

This might be your boy's best movie. Okay. Honestly, dude. I've been this proud of myself in a long time. Yes. Okay. I mean, I love Me Some Me, but I love the film.

Very proud of my performance. It gives everything that you would want from a sequel and more. We raised the stakes. The dynamic, obviously, is different. In the first one, it was really me versus Gerard with the cops and robbers. But a lot of times with sequels, there's so many nods to the first one that it kind of feels like fan service. But with this one, we changed the dynamic. It's a whole different movie.

It's a whole different film. But the stakes are risen. The action is there. And your boy looks cool.

But a perfect timing that we show this photograph when you say that. I mean, I'll just look cool. And I'm going to change my number after this one, bro. It's over, dude. Because he barely texts back now. You all are going to have to send messenger pigeons, smoke signals.

I don't know. By the way, put that photograph up one more time. You may have to change your number to 99 because you look like Aaron Donald in that photograph. Oh, bro. Look at that. Look at you, man.

I choked somebody out, Rich. I'm looking a little swolder. I can't front. Come on, dog. Now, did you flex for this part of the scene?

No, no, no. But you'll see when I... God, I can't tell you. It's obvious that I'm flexing in one scene. No, I can't wait to guess.

When you see it, I'll text you. No, I can't wait to guess. Yeah, man. Oh, that is great. What's your favorite Gerard Butler story that you have?

Give me a good one. OK, so there's a scene in the film where we get into a car wreck, OK? And since we can't really crash a car, they rigged a Porsche onto this giant metal claw, and they're going to swing it and then come to a stop to simulate the crash. Yes. And we do the rehearsal, and he looks at me and goes, that didn't really feel like a crash, did it?

I'm like, oh, not really. So we tell the guy, all right, put up the PSI because it goes off pressure, the rig. Put it up to five. Turn it up? Yeah, we were at like a three. He was like, put it up to five.

Right before they say action, we look at each other and go, we don't know anything about PSI. And Christian yells, action. The rig goes, and we go, wham. I hit my head. He hit his knee. We got wrecked. And, you know, it was only one shot, one take, because we got worked.

We know nothing about PSI. We're just actors. Give us words, and we say them. That's our job.

And, yeah, so that's my favorite story, us getting concussed. But you did not say anything to him afterwards? Like, why did you open your mouth about it?

No, because I agreed. We're producers, bro. We got to make this movie great. Yeah, I see. You know, and, yeah, we hurt ourselves. But it's for the art.

It's for the people. Oh, boy. A little concussion. He just looks as cool as in real life, right? No, Gerard is the man. That's my guy.

He's the conversations that we've had during the filming of this is there are things that I will take into my career for the future. Any time that dude needs me, I'm there. Absolutely.

Dan of Thieves 2, Pantera. Everybody check it out in theaters nationwide starting next Friday, January 10th. So, LeBron's playing until he's 47. Congratulations. Thank you.

Thank you. I hope he does. I mean, as long as it's in the Laker uniform. I can see when he said that, that he knew he was going to just, he was just like lighting a match and throwing it right into the kindling of sports talk radio. He knew he was doing that.

He loves it. Me personally, I think next year is it. You think next year is it? Yeah, I think next year is it. Year 23, it would make sense.

The marketing sells itself. What, because it's Jordan's number? Because it's LeBron James. Oh, okay. My bad. Los Angeles Laker, LeBron James. Yeah, right.

Michael Jordan's biggest flaw was that he wasn't a Laker. Come on, though. We all know this. Stop it. Stop it. You stop it.

Thank you, man. It's like, yeah, I get it. You sell me the same shoes every year, different colors. And we buy them. We buy them. Yeah, because I'm a sucker for capitalism.

We all got them on right now. Yeah, dude. But like, come on, man.

Get you some purple. But no, year 23 because LeBron James is numbered, dude. We were all sitting here thinking Bryce is starting in the process now.

That's always been the thought. That's what he's been saying, too, is that Bryce is coming and that he might stick around for Bryce, too. If he sticks around for Bryce, we're going to have the 25th anniversary of LeBron. He's going to 25. I mean, you take a look at what he is doing. The guy scored 38 last night. Why don't you stop at 23?

It's not exactly. Get 25. I don't see how he's not slowing down. He's not slowing down as long as he wants. Play until you're bad.

Like, you can be here forever. As long as you're getting all of these records in the Golden Army, I'm all for it. He's unreal right now. He's just playing it as well as he's played as a Laker right now.

That's what we're seeing out of him. And the only question, I mean, they told D'Angelo Russell to beat it, I guess. We'll see what they can do with these other new parts from the Nets.

I don't know. Can we talk about how crazy it is to get drafted by the Lakers and then trade it to the Brooklyn Nets and then go through whatever you went through, you go to Golden State, you go to Minnesota to get back to the Lakers just for them to trade you to the Brooklyn Nets. Again. Good Lord.

The question is, I haven't read this. Did the Lakers ask Magic to tell him a second time? Did they ask Magic, hey, we need a favor from you. Can you call D'Angelo Russell and say, hey, it's Magic. Hey, Magic, what's going on? Well, let me tell you.

You better get ready for New York. Yeah, exactly. I love Magic put out a tweet when we got Dorian Finney-Smith welcoming him to the Lakers. But then at the end he put, oh, we also got Shake Milton. Magic, bro.

Also random. Can you calm down? Can you relax?

Who's your PR? Chill. Somebody needs to hit the edit button for Magic. Yeah. He don't care. Oh, by the way, Shake Milton too.

Yeah. Just smiling with his billions. And he's watching the commanders in the playoffs right now. I forgot he has his hand in everything. He does because he's Magic Johnson.

What he needs to do is promote Den of Thieves to Pantera. Ladies and gentlemen. January 10th. Come on, Magic. Give me a pass, baby. All of his tweets are just congratulations to Notre Dame, congratulations to Ohio State. He's a happy guy. He's a happy guy.

He's very happy. You're just a Celtic, dude. Don't disrespect Magic Johnson. I didn't.

I'm saying his tweets are very positive. Yeah, but his Celtics are killing it again. They're doing it again. Who gives a damn? Why?

What do you mean, why? They're defending the champions of the NBA. Show some respect. Yeah. Are you talking to the World Series champion right now?

Don't disrespect me like that, dude. You just realized baseball was a sport like a month ago. First of all, baseball did become a sport about a month ago. Any sport where you can eat while you play is crazy. It's insane.

I'll say here what I've told you off camera. Although, I don't know if when you popped on the other day, I might have said it, but when your dad came out before game two of the World Series, I'm like, this is over. Yeah. I mean, it went from Freddie Freeman's home run in game one. Right. The grand slam, just like the second coming of Kirk Gibson. And then right before game two, I'm sitting there at home and I'm thinking, all right. Okay. Just come right back.

That's the beauty of baseball. The next day. Here we go. Pages turned. Then your dad came out of center field.

I'm like, oh, damn it. This is over. It's over.

Done. Think about D'Angelo Russell and how crazy that situation is. Think about how crazy it is for Fat Joe to be at home watching the World Series.

Get a call. Your favorite team wants you to perform at the World Series. You do it, and now they hate you.

That's insane. It didn't go well for Fat Joe. Now it's like a thing where they hate that you came. Now is that because it wasn't as good as your dad or because of what happened after? It's because they lost and you stepped on the mound.

It's not his fault. You stepped on the mound and kicked the dirt and all this stuff that you're supposed to know. I'm not a baseball fan and I know not to do that.

And then during the fifth inning, they showed him on the jumbotron right before the Dodgers made their run. They hate your guts. If the Lakers hated me, I don't know what I'd do. I'd move. I'd move.

I'd move to Hawaii. So you're saying it wasn't your dad's performance per se. It's what happened after it, that they backed his play.

My dad has nothing to do with the New York Yankees hating Fat Joe. I didn't think he was too panty as a gentleman. Because that thing was a wrap. They showed Dave Roberts rapping along with it. He was jamming along with it and I'm like, oh no, this is not good. And then first pitch happened and I can't confirm it was not good. I mean, I'm glad you felt like that. I hate baseball because I'm just nervous the entire game. To be nervous for three hours is insane. And it's like, with basketball and football, I can watch the defense and make adjustments and be like, okay, we're in the vibe. We're killing it. Baseball, I'm just like, hope this guy doesn't hit it.

Hope this guy doesn't hit it. And then it's like the slow drip. You know when there's not really a slow, there's no clock. And in a college football playoff game or a professional football playoff game, if somebody gets a first down, you know, from their own 20 yard line on their own 30, you're not sitting there thinking this thing's over.

No. Right. There's still more, 70 more yards you got to defend or 30 more yards and you settle for a field goal and you feel good about giving up points. In baseball, in baseball playoffs, somebody in the second inning gets on first base at a lead off walk. You're like, this game's over. And the season's over. That guy's going to score and this thing's just going to be terrible.

And we're not going to score for another three and a half hours. And like, it's true. It's amazing how that is. Before the Freddie grand slam, I was thinking like, here we go again. I have to listen to LA radio, talk about how we blew game one and just like nonsense because I, you know, I say I'm not a baseball fan because I'm being real, but like there were times where I put my heart into the Dodgers, that, that Agon team with easier and camp. And like, that's when I was really invested and I will watch Kershaw year after year, get dragged through the mud. So to finally get to a spot where I'm the villain, I'm the super team that everybody hates. It feels so good. It's so good.

And I hope we get everybody well, if you had gotten Soto, the baseball should have just closed up. That's a TJ. I had to give, I had to give TJ my dog and I accepted it. Let me tell you, you didn't love it is rich.

Well, the reason why I didn't love it. He was, he was all right. Right. No, no, no, no. Let me, let me fill in a couple of blanks here.

Okay. So I'm watching the Yankees make moves using the money that they didn't spend on Soto. And it's getting better with each move that they make.

And if they wind up signing like Alex Bregman or getting Nolan Arenado, and then, then I'm particularly very happy with everything worked out, especially since Soto has turned into, you know, a complete mercenary who says things like, this has been, it's become a Mets town. Wow. You know? Yeah.

Like it's a Mets town now in New York. That is disrespectful. Imagine this, hold on a minute. Imagine let's just say Anthony Davis. Okay. Somebody who's some like Anthony Davis two years ago, new to your team. Let's say, you know, coming out of the COVID bubble, let's say you didn't win the championship.

You just got to the final image. Okay. Let's just say that. And then he winds up leaving on a free agency tour, goes to the Clippers and says, I'm psyched because it's a clipper town. How would you feel about that? You know, I had, he's just, he's just new to the Los Angeles sports scene, just surfed into it. Yeah. Disgusting.

How would you feel? He would be a beautiful piece of garbage, but why didn't, why didn't the Yankees use their money from the mafia to pay for Juan Soto? Well, listen, I don't know what you mean by the mafia. Stop it.

I'm completely unfamiliar with your terminology. You're confusing me as a matter of fact, but the, the Mets have a richer owner who has, yeah. I feel you because they tried to throw, um, what's, what's y'all owner name? Steve, uncle Steve Cohen. Steve Cohen. Steve Cohen.

No, no. I'm talking about the clipper owner. Steve Ballmer. Ballmer. Yeah. Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, they try to throw it in your face. It's not going to mean anything.

I'm sorry, TJ. I mean, he's got Soto Penn States in the college football playoffs, semi-finals. That's what it is.

It's very helpful. I have 15 teams. You confuse me dude from Pennsylvania.

You like the Clippers, the Cowboys, the Sixers, Georgetown, Florida state, all these you're all over the place. Why not? I mean, why not?

Why should I be just stuck in one little small town in Pennsylvania my whole life, man, get out to see this big world anymore. You know what I'm saying? Not at all. We made up a graphic just, uh, just to illustrate, there it is. Oh my God. Yeah. I mean, you know, you know, what are you loyal to though?

The no contest wrestling podcast that graphic was disgusting to you. What's going on? I mean, it's just, you know, I have a lot of interests is what I'm saying. Well, Carl Anthony towns, Carl Anthony towns, careful O'Shea stop hating on my tag team partner. Be careful. Like I get it. The Eagles. Hooray.

We're say Quan with that record, right? What's going on? Don't play. Chill out on my boy. TJ.

I already give him flock for being a clipper fan. He doesn't need it from both of us. I really don't. Come on.

I don't deserve this. Well, actually he texted eight minutes ago. I'm just looking at my phone for the first time because obviously I'm not, I don't look at my phone during interviews just calling up literally texted you at, at, at 29 after the hour, it's 38 after the hour, nine minutes ago, he texted because he has an idea that, that we need to make happen on his behalf. I agree with that. Again, just, you'll appreciate this because you'd love smack talk.

I don't understand. But I know you, I know you're caping and you're, you're back in plays and I was born in chaos understood because I, I was riling it up after Tanner McKee. You might not have heard of him because he's the third string quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles. We got into last week's game and threw two touchdowns on his Cowboys. I use that as a moment to text Carl Anthony towns saying, oh, I am guilty as charged.

This is the most toxic working by toxic. You mean awesome. I just said, he just threw his second touchdown on the Cowboys to which Carl anything Anthony towns responded. God knew who to give the money to cause I'm a use it wisely. LMAO bringing the Lord into this. Just let the people know that I tried to help my guy. I tried to Lord could have bestowed some money upon me. I don't think it's going to work.

I've done same thing. All right. So Carl Anthony towns is he wants to, he wants to cultivate a caper. So this is so garbage. Any place for you, bro, this is, by the way, he looks terrific as it looks great, dude.

It looks great. I know it's annoying by the way. You know, who finds all this funny? Me talking about the Knicks. You talking about the Lakers, that guy over there is wrong.

Yeah. You know why? Cause he's just thinking it doesn't matter.

It's rearranging the Titanic deck chairs. That's what he's thinking. Chris, you beautiful, miserable human, but we're going to go 16 and three in the playoffs again, and we're going to raise another banner and you guys can all, you know, fight for second place. Don't he have first pick too in the NFL?

As long as we lose on Sunday, we have the first pick. Yeah. Hope you win. Ladies and gentlemen, come on now to Pantera in theaters, January 10th, take your friends, take your enemies, take your family, take people you haven't talked to in a long time. Just make sure you're there in theaters. There's new you, uh, well, let's, let's, let's make sure that, um, do you want to stick around and do, you know, hang out with, uh, do some news before we leave the, the, the show? Hold on. I got to ask Taylor.

She's a Celtic fan. Can I stay? Can he, or you got to go, Oh no, that answer means no. I understand. I speak fluent. Uh, uh, I'm fluent in this language. You got to go, Oh, let me check in the schedule being respectful of people who have your, your best interest in mind. I think I got to do a podcast or something later, bro. We're not live. Oh, he's got something at 12.

Is that something he can phone into or call into? Yeah, I'll leave at 12. 12. This is my home. Okay. That's what we're going to do.

We're going to come back here because Jimmy Butler is flat out said he wants to trade. Oh my God. Yeah. Let's hit that.

When we come to a has spoken about his head and about the, we can play in the playoffs if the dolphins make it. So we'll hit those things before we leave, uh, Denna thieves to Pantera, uh, in advance of Denna three thieves. Three. Yeah. Yeah.

We're just speaking it into it. You met Lala Kent on Vanderpump rules. Now Lala and her friends share everything on.

Give them Lala. Bagel. Everybody says it is ruined by a proposal story. How Jason proposed. And she was like, he brought in a bunch of bagels. I was like, I have to stop.

I will punch you in the throat. If you ever tell this story again and call it a bagel, you now, when I tell the story, I go, he went and got breakfast. There you go. Bagels. Yeah.

Watch what Lala is talking about on YouTube or search for, give them Lala wherever you listen. O.J. Jackson Jr. Still here hanging out with us to the end of the program, um, rich eyes and show a digital producer. He, he's the one who slices up your pod or everything around here just to, I guess, make it a simple description of what Sean Mitchell does.

Um, and you pop it on YouTube and I don't know if you've ever met Sean. He's, he's a, an integral part of this process. Diehard Los Angeles sports fan. I mean, diehard. Now a few people, do you know anybody who'll bitch at you on texts about chargers, fourth down calls and stuff like that?

Literally no one. It's just, he's like one of the only ones that we know on that regard. At any rate. Um, we pop up, he, he heard us talking.

This is, this has been on his computer for a month and a half right there. Yep. That, there he is. My dad, but that is, that's the moment that world series ended. Yeah. That Freddie Freeman. Then that moment, I didn't know that you can make his sticker like that. Did he have a sticker?

He might've had that made. Yeah. Okay. Okay. He'll, he'll get a call.

We'll get a call. That seems like a unlicensed merch. Oh, wow. He's not selling it. I mean, I'm just saying how my dad would see it. He would see Carol, don't show it again when the litigious O'Shea senior is at work. Okay. Now we can't do it anything Shay, cause if Sean's gone, then we don't put nothing on YouTube. Oh, that's right. Oh, listen, I'm not talking about me. I can't control the big one. I don't know if you guys know this kind of a jerk, he's not really down for the jokes. So, so in, in, in 22 jump street, that's real.

Listen, if there was ever a role where he wasn't acting, I gotta say when he wrecks the buffet in that movie, it's one of the funniest scenes ever. Back on the Rich Eisen show radio network.

The sands of the hourglass are moving here. Yeah, he makes good coffee too. From what I hear. I guess, I guess what would that cost you? I don't know.

An arm and a leg. But he's available because, you know, Pat Riley could send out, I guess, all the press releases and statements he wants saying we have no intention of trading Jimmy Butler, but it does appear that he's turning up the heat. This is what he had to say in his post-game press conference last night. What do you want to see happen to fix it? What do I want to see happen? Um, I want to see me get my joy back from playing basketball. And wherever that may be, um, we'll, we'll find out here pretty soon, but I want to get my joy back. I'm happy here. Uh, you know, off the court, um, but I want to be, um, back to somewhere dominant. I want to hoop and I want to help this team win right now. I'm not doing that.

Can you get your joy back here on the court? Probably not. Yeah. Right. Yikes. Right. Huh? Oh my God. That'll force the issue.

I would vomit as a fan. Wow. That's bad. Don't you think that's terrible dude to basically say, I don't have the joy on the court. You mean is that your reaction to that? He said off the court, like, yeah, the beach is nice. Yeah, exactly. I get it.

You know, I love Miami, but the heat, they suck. Like that's crazy. That's crazy. And then asked if he can get his joy back on the court here.

He said, probably not impossible, just unlikely. That has gotta be one of the craziest answers ever. And he's got green in his hair. Hate that. Oh my, I'm so Miami heat loyal. I'm sorry. But like it's done. That's crazy.

It is done. And it, and it does, it would make me say you got to get them out of here, but that might be the intent. You know, he just said, I want out. There's no outcome like, like he's Dr.

Strange. There's just no possible outcome where he's happy on the court. Well, that happened in Philadelphia. That happened in Minnesota.

That happened in Chicago too, right? So if you get him, don't you think there's a shelf life of, of his joy? Look, if you get them, just be good. Just be good. Like I get the Philly y'all deserve to be as terrible as you are because like there's no reason why that team shouldn't have been great Minnesota. You know, there's different stories of how that went. Jimmy Butler is a hell of a competitor and he just feels like he's not competing.

Well, I mean, if you're a hell of a competitor, it shouldn't matter where you are, right? Unless he's just, he's joyless. Why, why is he joyless guys? Why is he joyless? Is he just not getting the ball anymore?

It's more bam, more Tyler hero, not enough him. Is that what it is? Probably all a factor. It might be his relationship with Pat Riley is soured.

Who knows? That's what ended up happening with LeBron at the end. Well, Bron wasn't down with Pat Riley anymore and he left. Don't listen to this. What would it take?

Dalton connect what? Some more picks. Who else?

What would it take? Don't you dare. Don't you dare talk about my rookie that way. Well, I'm just saying like a lot. If LeBron is 41 now he's 40 now, right?

LeBron is 106. Okay. But you got to win.

Don't you think Jimmy Butler would help? Yeah, but it's mad expensive, dude. And like right now- Maybe not now that he's just made it less expensive, whether he's saying- Well, he ruined the Heath's leverage. So yeah. Yeah. I don't know, dude.

I don't know. Right now I'm really focused on getting Kessler. I really want Kessler. I really like Anthony Davis has been telling us for years, I don't want to play the five and we've just been like, shut up, play basketball, but like we need a center.

And I like the trade that just went down. They need time to gel, but I really want Kessler on the team to see where we are, but like what's Jimmy's contract looking like? It's a lot. So he's 49 million this year. He has a $52 million player option for next year. He's also going to be 36 next season. Yeah, so he's not going to take that player option unless he feels like he can't get 52 million somewhere else.

That's a lot of money. Oh my goodness. Yeah. It's real hard to go from like Miami to anywhere else. I just don't know. I mean, you got to sit around and think, is this enough?

Which is what they currently have adding Dorian Finney Smith and Shake Milton. Disrespect. Disrespect. Just following Magic's lead. He put an exclamation point at the end to say, Shake Milton. Yeah. Disrespect.

Okay. Last piece of business, Tuatunga Wailoa doesn't look like he's playing this week and the Dolphins must have. Then he was asked if he is going to, in fact, make the playoffs with his injured hip. If Snoop Huntley is able to get them there. Do you feel it could improve to the point where you can play in another week if the team makes the playoffs? Yeah. You know, if the cards play out the way they should and the way we know and think they can, I'm going to be available next week. There's no way fans are butts.

I'll be playing. Boy, that stuttering didn't help. If not, that doesn't help. It's not confidence.

I guess he's not missing the playoffs, but week 18 will get you to the playoffs. Did you just come out of the pool? Right. That robe? Yeah. I don't know what's going on.

It looks like a towel around him. I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on. It's a challenge. Oh, is that what it was? Maybe.

I mean, I wasn't doing it. Boy, Miami going through it, bro. Good Lord. Both clips are about Miami.

Poor guys. Go to the beach. Tua wants to be there.

Go to the beach. By the way, for his 55 million, Tua wants to be there. For his 52 million, Jimmy Butler doesn't. Who's worth their contract?

Great question. Tua? I mean, the best ability is availability, and Tua will be getting hurt, bro. Yeah. No disrespect, brother.

But like you do. You're getting hurt. There you go. A couple of fun questions. Everybody, go see... Dinner Thieves 2, Pantera.

Pantera. Yeah. Go see...

I was already thinking about your... When are you doing your next pod? When's the next pod? Next week, right?

Yeah. Gotta make sure I have availability on Wednesday, talking to Taylor of Lionsgate. He just basically said, your best ability is availability, and he's already saying, I don't know if I can do the podcast with you.

Wednesday, Taylor. T.J. Jefferson's right here. He needs me. Give this guy one highly anticipated, successful sequel, and he's gone. Right? Yeah.

Wow. I'm trying to get five. I'm trying to get into part three, as I told him on the pod a couple of weeks ago. If they give me a third one, you in it already.

What do you mean? Can I die or something, like in the movie? Come on. I want to die. I would love to make you die.

Put him in a tater jersey when you do. Absolutely, bro. You will be bystander number 12.

Or number zero. Oh, no. Good Lord. Everybody, check out Den of Thieves 2 Pantera with O.J. Jackson.
