"I'm sure he was blowing in the wind. I had the idea that I'd play a Bob Dylan song for her, the man told police. No word on which song it was, unfortunately. I'm trying to picture six Swedish guys singing Bob Dylan. Oh my God. I have to say I was one of them. I was living in Sweden at the time. On this day in 2008, Iron Maiden singer, you'll remember this, maybe both of you will, but I know, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson was one of the pilots who flew specially charted flights after 85,000 tourists were stranded in the US, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe after Britain's third largest tour operator went into administration, in other words, bankruptcy. The singer who had worked for the airline Astrius for nine years took up flying during a low point in his solo career after he quit the band in 1993. He's amazing. They did a world tour where he piloted the band, Jet. It's a documentary, Flight 666. Well, supposedly the thing about a plane, why is my mic doing this now? The thing about a plane is the hottest part is taking off and landing. Once you're up there, the navigation is, I guess, relatively- When I fly, that's the two times I'm scared shitless, especially the landing, because if you're driving down a highway going 80 miles an hour and you need to slow down, that can be eerie because a plane's coming down through the air, and then when it hits the runway, boom. Hot tires win. Of the tires hitting. I sat in the cockpit of a C-130 taking off one time when I was stationed in the Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento. They let me sit up in the, I was a cop on base, so we and my buddy were going to Hawaii for the weekend. You catch a hop for like 10 bucks. That must have been so cool. Yeah, so they wanted the cops on base, the pilots and everybody. There was a navigator training plane, and they were like, hey, one of you wanna sit in the cockpit for takeoff and then the other for landing? We're like, sure. Dude, it's the weirdest fucking thing sitting in a cockpit when you're taking off, because all you see is the sky. You don't see anything other than sky, because you're going up, and it feels like you're just kind of hanging there. It really doesn't feel like you have the speed that you have, but it was quite an experience. Yeah, quite an experience. On this day in 2008, the Kings of Leon started a three-week run at number one on the UK singles charts with Sex on Fire, taken from the band's fourth studio album only by night. Never caught on to them. No, I didn't either. On this day in 2005, Britney Spears gave birth to a baby boy by cesarean section. Spears and husband Kevin Federline had been taken to the UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, under police escort early in the morning. And the baby escaped and became the Jersey Devil. I don't care what you say. She's crazier than a sprayed roach, but she's still hot. Yeah, she is. Still, she puts out them stripper pole videos of herself, like dancing, like I said, crazier than a sprayed roach, but she still looks good. I was born cesarean too, so every time I leave the house, I go out through the window. Oh, okay. What's his name? Yeah, yeah. A guy from Boston that talks like this. All right, Lou, we dare you. When the show's over, we want to see you climb over the couch out that window. Sure, okay. Yeah, I got drunk one night. Yeah, Steven Wright, I got drunk one night. I came home, I turned my, I put my key in the door and turned and the house started up. So I took her for a ride.

I wanted to learn how to play harmonica, so I drove really fast and held it out the window. Okay. On this day in 2005, the newly refurbished Grateful Dead's original tour bus went on display at the Volvo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois. The Volvo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois. A Volvo in Volo. It's just a Volo. I added a V by mistake. In 1965, the 1965 Gillig bus, which Jerry Garcia and the rest of the Dead dubbed Sugar Magnolia – did you know that, Mark? Was used by the band on their frequent tours across the U.S. between 1967 and 1985. The ceiling was lined with hundreds of vintage rock posters featuring the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and others who had visited the bus. That's a good idea. And what do you think it smelled like inside? It smelled like a herd of goats. No air to the goats and taco seasoning. On this day in 1999, it was reported that George Michael was being sued for $10 million by the policeman who arrested the singer in a public lavatory. Marcelo Rodriguez claimed he was mocked in the video outside, leaving him in physical distress. I remember that video. I remember the video, too. It was pretty funny. See, like I always say, George Michael was the greatest at self-deprecation, owning his mistakes, laughing at himself, telling people, I'm an idiot, I screwed up. And that's why people loved him. That's why he was never canceled. That's why he was always bounced back because he just owned what he did. He wasn't pretentious about it. Whatever his PR person was telling him, anything, he just said, nah, I'm just going to, and I'll go on a talk show and I'll say, yeah, I was, I was an idiot. And laugh at himself and people like, that's what you want from somebody. That's genuine. He never had an excuse. He never came out with, well, it was because, or they set me up or, you know, he just said, yeah, I fucked up. And yeah, that video was actually pretty good, too. It's pretty good.

"And then during the inning changeover, the umpires get together and the replay that is shown shows hicks did not catch the ball. That's a fact. Hicks did not catch the ball, but the way that he grabbed it, his body when he came when ass over teakettle kind of hit it from the second base umpire Vancouver is the crew chief. And what it appears to be the initial thought was that the umpires reviewed it without the guardians requesting it because they saw the replay and as of right now, we're going to find out after the game, it does look like the guardians did challenge it, but you only get 15 seconds to challenge. But because it was the end of the inning, I guess they didn't start the clock or they didn't know if it was 15 seconds or because they allowed the challenge to take place and after further review. Everybody come back out, not only is the inning not over, two runs are in. And Aaron Boone gets thrown out on the spot. Instant ejection. And the guardians wind up taking a three zero lead. And the game is now currently three to two. Three, two, yeah. Still, and if the I'm assuming the Yankees are going to protest this thing, because either the umpires, the initial thought was the umpires used the stadium replay to reverse their call. They eventually got the call right. The question is, how did they get there? You get 15 seconds to challenge. And the pitch clock, it's tough on the video crews to turn it around and take a look at it. Hicks did not catch the ball. That is not in dispute. And we don't know there's no baseball sky judge, right? No way, no. No, no, no, no, you have to you see you always see you see the manager, turn around to somebody immediately gets on the phone and the guy and the guy who's on the phone is talking to video replay person who's either says challenge it or not. And then the challenge to keep playing on is they give this world a finger, keep playing. Or put the headphones on, let's challenge this thing. And you could see there's a shot of Frank Kona. He doesn't make a move. The 15 seconds goes by and he doesn't say a word. And suddenly this thing gets challenged and overturned and instead of, I think they would have allowed one run to score because there was a tag up situation and somebody scores Steven Kwan was on 30. He's pretty fast. I think he might have scored before the third out was recorded. I don't know. They might have looked at the replay to see if that was the case. Did the guy score before the third out was recorded and in so doing they saw that the ball wasn't caught. And so once replay is opened up, you get to review everything. Maybe we'll find that out. But the guardians didn't challenge in time and Boone gets ejected. That's shame. Okay. But I'm not allowed to say anything spiteful about my sports spy tees. Right? I turned to you now TJ since you're the reasonable one here. Well, you should be above that, rich. You shouldn't be involved. Look, you're a multiple time Emmy nominated. Even if the Yankees lose this game, there's still two games above 500 and we're not 6 out already before tax day, like his team who can't do a damn thing against the temporary race. Try and win a game against a team that hasn't lost yet. Well, technically, it's the rest of the American League east. It'd be great if your team won a game. We're trying.

I'm really flattered and it's great that you love it like that. You ask me how my style. I mean, I just wrote jokes. I went to the comedy club to it. Open mic and then I thought, I'm going to come back in two weeks. So I wrote things in that two weeks and for some reason they came out like little jokes. Yeah. And then I just said, you know, and this is how I talk. So accidentally, that type of joke was always merged and it was just there was no, it was no plan. I'll do it like this, and then I'll do this. And it was in Boston. There was no show business in Boston. So there was nobody to say, you got to talk louder and you got to make cell stories. We were all left our own. And we just very distinct comedians and Dennis Larry and bobcat golf poundstone and Kevin meany and Steve Sweeney and Lenny Clark and when I got Bill Burr, who was his New England. Yes. I mean, I loved him. He's brilliant guy. For sure. Stephen, how'd you get involved with half baked when you famously played the guy on the couch? It was a talk show on at midnight to one in the morning. I think bob cost was the host. And then one time, Dave Chappelle was the guest host, and I was his guest. So when the show was over, I said, yeah, we should be in a movie together, and he said, oh, I'm making a movie right now. Do you want to be in it? I stayed. Yeah, all right. That's how it happened. 'cause bob Constance went on vacation. I was later. And you're The Voice of the DJ in reservoir. Tarantino just reach out to you? No, what happened was. There's all these flukes. I made a short film called the appointments of Dennis Jennings and directed by dean Paris Sally menke. She edited the movie. And then a few years later, she was editing reservoir dogs and she was talking to him. They had the concept of the guy on the radio, but they didn't have the voice.

"It was real. At that moment, you were like, I gotta think of a joke right now. Oh my God. That's unbelievable to think that really happened. That's a whole other perception. This is a great experience. No one's ever thought it really happened. And no one said as the AAA. Well, it's a first for everything. First revolution. Do you have a question over there, TJ? The questions it's just like, this is really surreal for me, Steven, because you know, I think I discovered you way back when I was in elementary school when I was trying to listen to Eddie Murphy and Pryor and Carlin, but you could just talk to me through your mind under there. But of course they curse so much that I would get yelled at, but my mom, I could get away with listening to you because you were clean, but what I would do is I would write your jokes down in a book and I would go like 5th, 6th grade, and I would do stand up based on jokes that you told. So this is really surreal to me, man, to see you. And your style, like you were just describing. When did you decide that that was the way that you were going to tell your jokes? Because I imagine people would be like, you're not energetic enough, you're really low energy or anything. And by the way, I still have four that I tell to this day almost. You do? Yeah. Can I see them? Growing up, my parents had the quick sandbox in the backyard. I was an only child. Eventually. I spilled spot remover on my dog, and now he's gone. That's a good one. There was one about a dude, your friend Dennis he had, I wouldn't be PC here. He had smaller parents, but he wasn't small. He was a dwarf, and he would pose for trophies. So I would tell these in elementary school that how much so like I said, this is a trip for me right now because I literally had a notebook and I would rate these down because I couldn't tell Eddie Murphy jokes at school because I got sent to the principal's office. It's real for me to hear you say that because when you performing writing and everything, you're not thinking about a little kid in elementary school, like for you to tell me all that as a whole other it's very touching story from my point of view. Well, that's wonderful. I'm glad that you told it then TJ and I never thought it would be touching that story to be told when it involves apparently somebody who is a model for a small little trophy. Steven, like you look at a small trophy and say that must be two size and actual model. Yeah,

"I mean, I know that I do what I do, but there's other things involved just for something to happen somewhere. You know, like Chinese restaurant, the person writes the article. Why is it in the LA times? The places in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the current kids going to college, going summer trip. So when this, you start taking off HBO, reaches out to you and you were one of the first to have a comedy special on home box office. Steve Martin. So when I went on The Tonight Show then everything changed touring live clubs and then HBO and then an album and plain theaters and it was all because of people Sally and Johnny Carson. She got a good Carlin story. Steven? Well, I met him several times, which was like, oh my God, I'm talking to George Carlin. He was a very regular guy. He was just a regular guy, but genius. He's a genius. A lot of people from my generation of communities have him on the Mount Rushmore, for sure. I mean, the amount I think he did 18 HBO's. So even volume in the quality, he's one of my heroes in my whole life. So who else is on your Mount Rushmore? Of comedians. Richard Pryor. David Brennan Robert Klein, those guys from when I was watching all that time. Starting out. Right. Tell me about your book, Harold, why write it? What made you want to sit down and come up with your first book in a novel? What made you do this, Stephen? Well, I wrote a fairytale about how the beach was invented. It was in Rolling Stone magazine along 1986 in every few years, I would read it again and then I thought I should write something else. So then I was on Twitter and I started writing, I thought, I'll write a story, but I'll write it on Twitter, two sentences at a time. Rather than jokes. So I kept writing it and people were leaving messages saying, doesn't he know this is a joke because he's writing a novel on Twitter? Someone should explain this to him. But I didn't like the idea of the jokes on Twitter. To me, the joke is a live experience. For the free back from the audience. Yeah, it's a whole thing. So then I stopped writing it on Twitter, but I continued writing it anyway. Just kept going. Just not knowing where it's going or anything. You know, the jokes are very distinct couple sentences through a small window to make the audience laugh, a concept, and then audience laughs, but I had other things in my mind that wouldn't go through that window. So I use this boy, his name is Harold. I essentially put a funnel on the top of his head and I poured everything I think about life into his head. So it's like he's thinking it. No 7 year old would really be thinking what he's thinking. Yeah. But I got to express basically my experience of my reaction to this whole thing of having a life is so much information. So I got to say a lot of it through his mind. In a book where all books can be acquired on May 16th is when it comes out Harold written by Stephen Wright, what is, I guess, this may be a ridiculous question, but I'll ask it anyway. What's your favorite joke that you came up with? Yellen? Out of your vast career, one wouldn't your life. You have a favorite joke, but it's not the audience's favorite joke. Okay. It's nice. I went to my grandfather when he died and went to the funeral and I was kneeling down at the casket looking at him inside the casket. And I started to think about my flashlight. I was thinking about the batteries inside my flat. And then I thought, maybe he's not dead. Maybe he's just in the wrong way.

I've been a fan of this man who's got his first book out on novel. I'm holding it up here just to prove it exists at Harold by the great Stephen right here in the rich eisen show studio. How are you Stephen? Good to see you. Good rich, how are you? I am doing very, very well. Thanks for having me. Thanks for being here. So I don't know where to just jump in with you. So you are a new englander, correct? That's where you're from originally. From Boston. Massachusetts, a suburb outside in Boston. Okay. So back in the day that would make you a Red Sox fan? Is that what you are? Bobby, you're a bruins day. Like all of that. Tony, can you learn? That's it. 60s, early 70s, early 70s. Jim rice era of the Boston Red Sox. What was your first time you were in February park? Steven. I don't know, my father took us probably it was probably 12 ish. You know, it was still laid back then. He would come home from work. It wasn't even a plan. It was like, oh, let's go to the game. You know, we get in the Volkswagen drive 45 minutes in, I mean, I sound like one of those guys, but it was like, you stood in the bleachers for like $2. Yeah. There's no one you have all this space. It was before they became, you know, even before 67. Sure. When did you try stand up for the first time? When did you realize, okay, were you always funny or you're understated and this was just your personality all the time? Well, this is just how I talk like this, but I was funny with my couple buddies and school. I wouldn't want the classes to make a class laugh. Yeah. But I was just funny with them. And I would watch The Tonight Show all the time with Johnny Carson. My brother was four years older than me. So we had to watch what he wanted. And so I was just watching him. And eventually, you know, everyone would be asleep and we'd be watching Johnny. And then I suddenly hooked in like, see a guy come out and talk about life and all this weird angles, funny reflection of what he experienced and I started to cook into that and then Johnny himself. I loved it. And it became like this magical thing. I really, that's when I was really drawn to it. And I thought, wow. Maybe I would like to do that maybe to be one of those guys, and then speaking of the bruins, so I would listen to the bruins on the radio in bed. In one night I was fooling around with a dial and I stumbled on this comedy show, a guy in Boston. He played two comedy albums every Sunday Night. Two whole albums. So then I hooked into that, so I'm tuning into that like three years and I'm like studying it without knowing it. I'm thinking, oh, I like that guy. Oh, I don't know. So then the tonight show and Carl and then it became like my dream like a kid wants to be a baseball player or an astronaut. And you wanted to be a comic. Yeah. So when did you, when was your first big break? Stephen Wright. When was that? Well, I started doing it when I was 23 and Boston and then the clubs and in Cambridge there was a Chinese restaurant comedy club called the ding Ho comedy club. It was just, you know, the front was like where the audience and everything in the bar and then the back was the Chinese restaurant and someone wrote an article about it because it was such a bizarre situation and for some reason it went in the LA times. I don't know why. And then peer to Sally, who was the producer of The Tonight Show? Sure. He saw the article. And then like 8 months later, he was going to Boston, his kids were going to get out of high school. So they had a stomach trip to look at colleges in New York and Boston and they remembered the club so he called up and he said he was going to go there and he went there and then he saw me and then three weeks later I was on The Tonight Show. On The Tonight Show. It was like a fairytale. So if you didn't do your comedy in a Chinese restaurant, do you think you'd have been discovered, Stephen? I mean, obviously, maybe not as quickly by not as quickly. What the hell was that like for you to be on The Tonight Show three weeks after being in a Chinese restaurant? Didn't what I just said? If that's false, if anything. It's just the way you would spend all day. Three weeks after. You could have said that to Neil Armstrong. Well, you're on the Chinese restaurant. Then you're on the moon. You from column a, one from column Johnny. I mean, my gosh. And back in the day. Yeah. It was real because they just explained how big that show was to me. For all those years. Sure. So then to be on there, it was just magical and I remained friends with Peter all these years, you know? I mean, a lot of my career is done a lot of flukes, a lot of accidents. I mean, I know that I do what I do, but there's other things involved just for something to happen somewhere. You know, like

"Feel like Zion, you know, I know the atmosphere I would be Internet based off like the playoff experience. So now it's just a matter of when I feel like Zion. The setback back up into our routine. Every other thing that you're going to be doing is right now. I mean, it sucks. I don't know how else to say it. It just sucks. I love this game. I say it over and over. For those people that think that I just want to sit on the sideline, just to sit over there. I don't know why people think that. But now it sucks. I just want to be playing basketball for real. I'll just say this, once again, and I'll front my comments that are going to sound critical with the fact that I'd love to see them out there. Could you imagine him Ingram McCollum valentinus? Murphy, let's squat. Jones. Just off the top of my head here. I'm three T, and Zion. He throws on in that mix. Okay. Like they're not playing it. They're not hosting the second night playing game, right? They're hosting in the first round right. That's the idea. Let's not forget all the and I'd love to see him out there. He's just such a dynamic player when healthy. And I know that the NBA just had their collective bargaining agreement hammered out. I just would see, can you open it up again to make a rule that if you miss a certain amount of games, you're not allowed to refer to yourself in the third person. That. You must refrain from that. Or I mean, I wouldn't say you take somebody's, you lose a draft choice. But maybe fine. Is that right? That might be a little harsh. Like you can't miss as many games as Zion had and then refer to why you've missed it and when you're coming back. Using the third person. That's a violation, I think. Does that rule extend to del tofo who missed is mister third person? If you've missed a certain amount of days of work, yeah, yeah. You got to revoke. By the way. That's true. The USFL, the next couple days. Okay, good. How many shows are you going to miss? How many shows are you going to invest? He's managing the load of his work. It's workloads management. So I guess my point would be, that's what I'm saying. My point would be that if his workload management extends way longer than expected, he can't refer to himself in the third person. I can't do it. Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to lead by example here. Can't use third person. To show the NBA what it needs to do with some of the star players. Very good. I mean, it depends on how many shows you miss. The thing is rich, unlike del tufo, who has a very more than adequate fill in and feller. You can't replace Zion. They don't have anybody. That's true. To pick up his room. That's true. That's true. You're unfortunately not this Zion of this equation. I'm at the Jordan. But let's take a break.

Just when you thought the heat were coming to visit, the Miami Heat still have another basketball game to play and it's the Atlanta Hawks. That will be visiting Boston, Massachusetts this weekend to start a first round playoff series. Last night. And why does this a pleasant surprise for you? Because this is going to be a sweep. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Okay. They're not a good defensive team. Huh? Trae Young's one of the worst defensive guards in the league. And so, you know, we have the bigs. We have the wings. We have too much firepower on offense for them to stop us. So, I mean, I would expect this to be a four or 5 game series. In all honesty, I'm not being disrespectful. I hear you. It was three in the regular season with these teams. Does the regular season with this team I would throw right the hell out. With the Celtics or the hawk, hawks. And why would you say that? Because there are different team now. They have a different coach, maybe a different mentality, a different sense in the locker room, a different sense of cohesion. Honestly, I mean fair points. Trae Young, dejante Murray, kling capella with his unique stat line of four points, 21 rebounds. That was ridiculous. John Collins. John Collins, they weren't really impressive last night, actually. Every time he was hunter back in the game, gonna take control and maybe cruise to a home win. Murray hit a big shot. Capella had a nice defensive play. Trae Young got to the rim. John Collins was out there doing his thing. It was an impressive victory last night. And now they have to play a real team. It's why I didn't I didn't want to zig with the rest. I wanted to zag. I didn't want to choose the box coming out of the east. I didn't want to choose a Celtics or the sixers coming out of the east. And I was identifying somebody who could make a run that would shock everybody. And that's the narrative going into the Eastern Conference playoffs right now is there's no good luck. Hey, Cleveland and New York, cabs and nicks have a great four, 5 series, entertain us. Go 7. You know, let's have Mitchell dropped 50 and one and Brunson dropped 50 in another and let's see if Julius Randle can drop 50. Who's gonna drop 50 the most? You know, let's go. Let's have a good but you guys enjoy rearranging your deck chair. 'cause you're gonna hit the iceberg of the top three seeds in the Eastern Conference playoffs. That's the narrative coming in. I chose the hawks to win the conference before the season just because I'm a big Murray fan, him being a dick in addition to a very talented team. They're just two years away from going to the Conference Finals. I thought that we could see Trae Young in a playoff series just take it over. And I'm pleased to see the hawks are in. But they're, you know, they're going up against the defending conference champs who are defending conference champs for a reason. I understand that, but I would throw out the regular. That's a very long winded way of saying I'd throw out the regular season numbers. We don't know if the cut hand on jaylen Brown, you don't know where that cut was was on the outside of his hand was on his palm, that can affect his dribbling and shoot. He had a pretty big rap on at the end of the year. So we'll see. So did Rudy Gobert? All right. The tip rules did that to themselves. They shouldn't wait until next season to suspend them. What are you going to suspend them now? You just hurt your team by not having them on the courthouse. Anthony Edwards go three for 17. That was the biggest one. I mean, just an absolute no show in the biggest game of the year when a guy who's like on the precipice of launching himself in a superstar. But wasn't he hurt? Isn't his elbow messed up? He did take a weird fall? Yeah, last night. And kind of landed on his shoulder. That was almost really, really bad. Very bad. It was bad, but it was almost 15. It was 80 to 65. Prince is dropping three. Come on. I thought to myself, okay, so Conley's acquisition. That's going to be the one that was the one. That's going to be a big difference maker. And nobody was talking about him. Well, D'angelo Russell, no showed last night too. The Timberwolves just could have kept their head. Don't get into a fight in the huddle. Don't punch a wall. They win that game by 15 points last night. I mean, come on. You were right there. And you blew it. And they still should have won the game. Timberwolves nuggets would be a fascinating first round series. Because even if the pelicans advance tonight, we don't believe Zion is going to feel like Zion. In time. How about that sound bite? Let me ask you this question. Can we play that one more time if you don't mind, mister Hoskins, please? Because man, I want to see him out there. Everybody wants to see him. He's a 26 and 8 guy when healthy. I just want to see him out there. And Stephen a Smith said earlier about the sound bite you're about to hear, people aren't thinking he's shaking it. They think he's not working hard enough to avoid it. That he's back here in this situation again. You'd think he'd be on some sort of, is there a TB 12 system for the NBA?

You just look at CJ Stroud and everybody else that. Frank Reich is coached. That's the guy. I mean, let's see what it looks like to me, but you're saying all of a sudden Bryce young strolls on there and hangs out in Charlotte for a couple days and now everybody did betting favorite, if you will, is Bryce young. All I'm saying. That's crazy, talk. Vegas knows things. So after the Panthers trade, suddenly Bryce young was the favorite. Now it's Stroud. Now we're two weeks out. Young is visiting the Panthers, young, now the favorite. Great chat again with our new friend, John Beck right here on the rich ozone show in studio. Steven Wright is in our green room. The comedian from back in the day. He's got a new book out right here. I've got it. It's called Harold. It's his new novel right here as they're Stephen Wright, the author, and one of the all time great comedians. Much like Stephen Wright, I too like the reminisce with people I don't know. This is going to be fun. I have a pony is one of the most famous comedy albums ever. And you had quite the run with HBO specials and whatnot, Steven Wright will be here shortly. I'll ask him his favorite joke, maybe a little stroll down memory lane about being on the Carson show. I love talking to comedians about this sort of thing. So 8 four four two O four rich is the number to dial, Shane steichen just spoke from the Indianapolis Colts talking about I was asked about Lamar Jackson and he responded saying he's focused on the draft and focused on the players that are in the building right now. Right now, right now. It's such a key phrase. Talking about where the player is in the building. No, he's saying right now. He didn't write now a situation. He's talking, I'm just talking about, as you know, there's coaching cliches. It is what it is. I don't have a crystal ball, and I'm only talking about the players who are here, which you usually do that when somebody is holding out, but nobody's talking to mar Jackson right now. Anywhere. Period. They are now 15 days from the draft and nobody's son in this guy to an offer sheet right now. They'll go through the draft and see and plus why are you signing him to an offer sheet right now? When they just acquired Odell Beckham junior who's getting introduced tomorrow. My colleague Ian rappaport at the NFL network said he signed with the belief that Lamar is coming back. And if you didn't sign Lamar to an offer sheet before, even if you were inclined to cough up two first round draft choices into next to draft. Even if you were inclined to pay him the freight that he is apparently asking for. The other narrative as to why teams didn't sign him was the ravens are just going to match anyway. Why would you do the work? Well, now the belief I would think that the ravens are going to match anyway is as strong as ever. They just got Odell. What do you think? They're just going to let Lamar walk. So nothing's going to happen on that front. You could ask Shane until he's blue in the face and he'll basically just say, we're just focused on who we have here and what we're just focused on the draft because their fourth overall. And if Adam Schefter, what he threw out there does in fact happen that the Texans do choose somebody second overall, who isn't a quarterback, hold on to the pick and choose somebody who's not a quarterback. Well, then Anthony Richardson is flat out in play or CJ Stroud or Bryce young is flat out in play fourth overall. That would be the colts dream that they have one of those two to choose from from the current spot doesn't cost them any more draft capital to move up. Yeah, I don't want to sign in Lamar to an offer sheet between now and the draft. We'll talk after the draft, but Odell's signing changes the dynamic. And that's where I said before, I thought it was brilliant. And I know that the ravens have been ripped by a ton of people for how expensive the contract was and for to give it to somebody who hasn't performed over a year coming off of a knee injury, looking, you know, at how old he is and how what a dreadful contract that was, according to many who definitely know football and no contracts and no salary caps, I push back by saying, if this gets Lamar to sign, if this solves the Rubik's Cube, that Lamar and the ravens have not been able to solve over the last two years. Even if he does sign its tender, just two weeks ago, over a week ago, the concept was never know what Lamar's thinking, if he's a man on principle, he'll just hold out on you. He won't come in from the cold. Well, now Odell's the one who's saying, come back. I'm here, and at

Stephen Wright on 'Processed Cheese'
"Is the show most excited about. I've been excited in anticipation of it for a long time. The author Steven Wright has been on bookworm twice a four. I love his work and it takes him the Gourd zone time to complete it. I've been waiting for his newest novel which is called processed cheese and which is published by Little Brown. Oh for around seven years and as I read it I wanted it to never be over. I wanted to be reading it forever. I think like Stevens other books. It's made out of sentences and a feeling about the world that's completely his own knowing. No the title processed cheese. Stephen has been with you for a while. I've been wanting to write a book with that title since I can remember so. I finally did the title game before the Book Way. Back when I was sixteen. One of the things my father did was to make cheese board sees pieces of wood which cheese was attached under plastic at first when it started out like most American things they were real genuine supreme vintage cheeses but as things had to be less and less expensive to be made. These cheeses were replaced by process cheeses and the expensive store. The same bloomingdale's that sold the cheese board was replaced by five and ten where you could get. The junk is on the junk board in the junk rapper. And that was what growing up in. America was light during that period that was UAE. May Be we needed the sixties so when. I saw your tunnel processed cheese. It meant so much to me about the end of quality and the beginning of junk in my child he read it exactly the right way. That's terrific now. Tell me this is a book about as one of the first chapter says money money money money money money money. It's about the replacement of everything by the need for money. And more money and under funded coppell find that the husband has been hit by a bad. Were walking down a street. The bag is filled with hundred dollar bills. Which are wrapped in plastic packets? He suddenly got more money than he or his wife. Ambience know what to do with his name is graveyard. Her name is Ambien. Stephen Word of these names come from. I wish I knew they just. I don't know where they came from. The thing is that when they occurred to me it just seemed absolutely right that these were the right names for these people so they stock all of the names of the people in this book are based on industrial processes or Johnke. The city's the places are named things like random Burg this is the world that's died down and been replaced by the equivalent of processed cheese. John Exact has replaced everything. Yeah that is the theme of the book. Yes now the book is so funny. I mean you'll pardon me laugh out loud funny I laugh out loud myself sometimes thinking about phrase or line yes so that's pretty pleasing when he can laugh at your own stuff even years after you wrote it. It's a hung aureus book but a book. That's hilarious about a tragedy of life. That life does not feel like life anymore that life feels like its own version of processed cheese. Yeah exactly how do you live while riding such a book? It's Day by day. You just get through the day like everybody else. You know you get through each day as best you can but. I need to tell my listeners that Steven Wright our guest is the author of five books the first one was called Meditations in Green. It was the first major who Gustav Nation of Vietnam. The second book M Thirty One was a family romance. I pointed out when reading it that it seemed to be based on the nightmare. Gatherings in Faulkner's novel sanctuary. But you don't have to know that it's a Family of people who believe in Outer Space Aliens going native was a book. Oh Stephen I really was barely out of my twenties. I was given this show to do and I asked someone. I think it was an beady. Who SHOULD I meet in New York publishing? Who would help me to know how to go about doing books on my show and she sent me to the man who turns out to have been your life long friend and editor Michael Pietsch. Yes he gave means three chapters of the then unpublished looney tunes novel going native.

Some title Pierre or the ambiguities means. Tell US Stephen. The subtitle is Pierre or the ambiguities and it turns out that in the nineteenth century. That was a phrase that was used for someone who lost their mind. He's got the ambiguities. Isn't that amazing? I did not know that 'til I was done with the book. If I had known that I would put it in
