Transcript

00:00So what's the question of the day, fellas?

00:02All right, so I'm assuming you're very aware of Eme Adoka last night.

00:06We played it a couple times.

00:08Played it in headlines and played it in the petty cast.

00:11Oh, nice.

00:11Yeah, yeah.

00:12When was the time you went full Karen?

00:16Like you went full Karen on something or someone?

00:19I did.

00:19Well, I did one that I knew was going to cost me financially,

00:22but I was at a point in my career where I just,

00:25after my 10th season and I'd been injured,

00:27I told Gary Kubiak about some issues that I felt he had with his staff.

00:33Oh, nice.

00:33And I'm like, and in my mind, I'm like,

00:35either this guy's going to get fired or I am.

00:37And it was me.

00:40Did you, did you like go off off?

00:42I didn't know.

00:43I did it calm, cool and collected,

00:45but I just basically said there were a couple of things that I just really

00:48thought were kind of being operated Bush league.

00:51And, and I mean, and he listened and everything.

00:53I wasn't just, you know, flipping out about it or anything.

00:55I just flat and, and I figured it was the,

00:58he's either going to fire this guy who I don't think is going to get fired or

01:01I'm going, I wasn't trying to get the guy fired.

01:03I was just being honest about this is, yeah.

01:05I don't feel it.

01:06Basically.

01:06I don't feel like playing football in this situation.

01:09Did you end up being right about that?

01:11Oh, a hundred percent.

01:12A million percent.

01:13I know who you're talking about.

01:13Four hundred and eighty seven thousand percent.

01:15Yeah.

01:16Was it cathartic?

01:16I know who you're talking about.

01:18Or did you feel like you didn't get your money's worth?

01:19No, it wasn't.

01:20No, it was just the reality of the situation.

01:22I was like, I was at the spot where like, I'm not going to do, like, I just, I can't,

01:26I'm not going to like keep my mouth shut and be a good soldier and everything through

01:30this and watch all this happen.

01:32Yeah.

01:33Like I just, it's not, it's not the right way to operate a football team or, or to be a human

01:37being.

01:37I went off.

01:39When, when were plasma TVs becoming all the rage?

01:42Oh, early nineties, early two thousands.

01:44No, late, late nineties, early two thousands.

01:45Late nineties.

01:46Yeah.

01:46Cause it was a, it was a, I won one for a sales contest and that would have been.

01:51And they were expensive.

01:52If you recall.

01:52Really heavy.

01:53They were really heavy and really expensive.

01:55Yeah.

01:56And I bought a plasma TV at Best Buy.

01:58Okay.

01:58And it was right around Christmas time.

02:00Yeah.

02:00I remember cause I wanted to watch the bowl game, whatever.

02:02And I opened it up, set it up.

02:05And there's a big, that big line across the top.

02:08The, the pixels were all broken across.

02:10Oh no.

02:10Yeah.

02:11Yeah.

02:11And I forget what I pay, but it was at the time, it's not like TVs now where you can buy

02:14them for a nickel, you know, but.

02:16Well, it was probably several thousand dollars.

02:17Yeah.

02:17And so I went back to Best Buy, like to return this, you know, and I'm not a big yeller and

02:23screamer.

02:23As you guys know, the guy goes, well, no, sir, that's either your fault or the, uh, the packing

02:29because those are packed very carefully.

02:30So you're gonna have to take it up with Samsung or Sony or whomever.

02:33Oh my God.

02:34And I went off cause that was a big investment for me and I was ready for my bowl games.

02:40Yeah.

02:41And, and I, I, to the point where I actually was faced almost nose to nose with this guy.

02:46Oh no.

02:46And I even pulled out the, I'm not leaving without you replacing this TV.

02:50Yeah.

02:50There was a printer box.

02:52And this is what my wife still laughs about.

02:53Cause she was just kind of wandering, looking up at the sky and like, Oh no.

02:56Yeah.

02:57I would also.

02:58I don't know.

02:59I don't know that man.

03:00There was a printer, but some printers on the side of where he was standing.

03:04Yeah.

03:05I sat on them and crossed my legs and I said, I'm not leaving until the, you were risking

03:10if you had squished those printers in some fashion, you were looking at an even bigger

03:14tab and a long story short.

03:16Yeah.

03:16I need to know how this ends.

03:17I got my plasma TV.

03:18He, he finally turned to a guy and said, just go get him one.

03:21This was the manager.

03:22This was a good 20, 30 minutes.

03:24This was the manager.

03:24Okay.

03:25I was like, cause I, I was like, where's the escalation?

03:28I feel like I missed the escalation.

03:29No, no.

03:29I went.

03:29Those early plans were expensive, man.

03:31Yeah.

03:31It was like 20, 30 minutes of just going back and forth.

03:34I was full Karen.

03:35In this question of the day, the word you are using the word Karen in the question.

03:39Like when was the last time you Karen'd?

03:41Like, see, I don't think, I think Karen to me is when you're being unreasonable.

03:45That's true.

03:45Yeah.

03:46I don't think you're being unreasonable in that situation.

03:47Well, I don't think, I don't think Amy Adoka was being unreasonable, but he went full Karen.

03:52And it's a phenomenal question of the day.

03:54I guess it's like, when was the last time you raised this thing?

03:56Yeah.

03:57Yeah.

03:57No, but that's the, but right, right, right.

04:00Cause mine, Figgy brought mine up to me.

04:02You were thought of one, didn't you?

04:04I was at your ass.

04:05Oh yeah.

04:05Go ahead.

04:06Mine.

04:07I've told on this show before, it was when Amy and I had our favorite seats at the Astros game

04:12a couple of summers ago.

04:13It was during the blistering heat of summer and, um, but we were indoors.

04:17And we've sat, we like to sit in the front row overlooking the Astros bullpen.

04:21We like those seats.

04:23Um, there were a few empty seats next to us.

04:25Yeah.

04:25A lot of kids come down to those seats during the game at some point with their glove or

04:30trying to get a ball or whatever, which I think is cool.

04:32Like knock yourself out.

04:34And, and I know those aren't their seats, but these two kids who were right at that age where

04:40they were right at that in between phase where they were starting to sweat and stink,

04:44but their parents hadn't educated them on full hygiene yet.

04:46And deodorant.

04:47They stunk.

04:49These two kids came down and they stunk.

04:52They smelled.

04:52A portal that would have been an improvement over these kids.

04:55And, and, and Amy and I, we, we lasted about 30 seconds and we said, we got to get these

05:00kids out of here.

05:00They aren't their seat.

05:01If they were their seats and I would have just dealt with it.

05:03Yeah.

05:03It wasn't their seats.

05:04They were coming down from sitting 10 rows up to get a baseball.

05:07And I said, uh, uh, 10 rows up wasn't downwind.

05:14No, it's indoors.

05:15I don't know which way the air conditioner was blowing, but no, we went and moved those kids.

05:18So yeah, I guess that would be the closest thing I have to it.

05:21Oh, which one, what me, I was thinking about, I was at a birthday party once for somebody

05:26I didn't know, uh, so I was a younger man and, uh, like it was when I was still playing

05:30in the NFL and I was, uh, you know, that was, there was like a buffet with a bunch of

05:35food out and everything.

05:36I was eating quite a bunch of it.

05:38And, uh, and at one point, one of the, uh, one of the, some woman came up to me and

05:43was like, Hey, you know, these need to last forever.

05:45And probably specifically because she had a good point, I went off.

05:52Hold on.

05:53Was she like one of the mothers of the, what kind of birthday party?

05:56I was like in my twenties.

05:58It wasn't, no, no, no.

05:58It wasn't like a kid's birthday party.

06:00It was like a big drunken affair.

06:02Got you.

06:03Got you.

06:03Okay.

06:04That might have contributed.

06:05Sir, you're eating too much.

06:07Yeah.

06:08Yeah.

06:08And you went off.

06:10Oh yeah.

06:11But it was one of those things.

06:12You know why I was pissed though?

06:13It was because they had a jar basically to help pay for it and everything.

06:16And like, and I didn't know anybody.

06:17So when I first got there, I'd throw a hundred in it, you know, kind of feeling like, all

06:21right.

06:22I saw it in the moment.

06:23I was like, Hey, I paid for this.

06:25You go, go see the, I wanted to be like, go see how many hundreds are in the jar there

06:30and see how many people actually contributed.

06:32Cheap bastards.

06:32Get your ass out of my face and let me eat these, these roll ups.

06:36You needed to do the George Costanza where you took your hundred out and put it back in

06:39in her view, in her vision.

06:40Oh yeah.

06:41She can see it.

06:42You're going to go.

06:43No fear of, fear of looking like that guy with like, if you got a video of it on social

06:48media or something, it was one time I told you, Sean, the story.

06:50I was in the workout room in my apartment building and these kids came in.

06:54They were like 12 years old.

06:55It was just me in there.

06:56And I actually like somebody else let them in and they, and they're, they're like 12

07:01years old.

07:02They're all in their socks and they start running on the treadmill, like, like seeing who could

07:07run the fastest and their socks are coming loose and everything.

07:10And I'm like, I don't want to look like the guy that booted the kids out of the facility.

07:16You actually are like residents in the facility.

07:19But I was, and I was starting to get worried about them and it ended to the point where I

07:23was like, all right, I'm just going to get out of here.

07:24Like, I just don't want to be in the room when this tragedy, but then as I'm leaving,

07:28I'm like, I can't, I can't sit here and watch these kids do this.

07:31So I told them, I was like, guys, I'm really sorry.

07:33But like the rules are that if you're, unless you're 18, you got to have an adult in here

07:37and I'm leaving.

07:38So I just gotta, I gotta ask you guys to come out with me.

07:40And they were, they were cool about it, but it was, um, I was so, I was just, because,

07:47because of the chance of one phone being on me and it looking like, look at this dude

07:53kicking these kids out of the, out of the facility because he didn't think they belonged.

07:57I think you made the right decision.

07:58Cause you definitely don't want to be the adult at the scene of a crime where somebody else's

08:01kid gets hurt.

08:02As I was right.

08:03And then all of a sudden I'm like, yeah, why didn't you do anything?

08:07No, it's funny.

08:08You say that about a gym.

08:09The thing that pushes me, oh, by the way, you're listening to KLT AM, KLT FM, HD2, Houston

08:13and Odyssey sports station.

08:14And you're listening to crosstalk brought to you by DNM auto leasing.

08:18The thing that you bring up a gym, this is probably the thing that pushes me closest

08:22to Karen moment, but I stopped short is when people are on the machines and they're talking

08:29on their, they're talking on their phone with their AirPods in.

08:33They're having like, or just sitting on the weight bench conversations and you're trying

08:36to get into the, into that.

08:38Take it outside, man.

08:39I don't want to listen to your conversation or just a minute.

08:41And I just, I don't know how you sit down on an airplane and open up your tablet and

08:47just start playing it with the volume up.

08:49Yeah.

08:51I don't know.

08:52I wish I could be like that.

08:55I wish I could be like that.

08:57What kind of animal does that to have, like just to have zero care in the world about who's,

09:03who's listening to, you know, your, your, your, your, your Christmas vacation player.

09:08We say all this to say great topic, fellas.

09:10Thanks, man.

09:10Appreciate it.

09:11Great topic.
