Was it Magic? Nope, nope, nope, nope. He's out there in L.A., already living the Hollywood life. It's King James, Leo DiCaprio, Al Pacino. This dude doesn't give a fuck about basketball. He doesn't give a fuck. I saw somebody tweeted the other day. They tweeted out their article.

I think it was one of the, you know, not Windhorse, but one of the guys who covers him a lot. And it was – Miami was about chasing your ring, like getting your rings. The return to Cleveland was about bringing one home. And now LA is about doing whatever the fuck LeBron wants to do. That's the fucking game, man. That's – I mean who could possibly fault him for that? No, I – well, a lot of people, which is – Well, yeah, but they're – The world is stupid.

Absolutely. I mean I just think about – I get it when you are – because I kind of do this with Carmelo. Like when you get paid as much as these guys get paid, when you are perceived to be on a certain level, then you're still – By the way, they're underpaid. Like LeBron James is extremely underpaid. He is. Carmelo is not. Carmelo is not.

Carmelo is overpaid. But LeBron – yeah. I mean LeBron is underpaid by like 120 million. Yeah. LeBron is James is extremely underpaid. He is. Carmelo's not. Carmelo's not. Carmelo's overpaid. But LeBron, yeah. LeBron's underpaid by like $120 million. Yeah. LeBron's extremely, extremely underpaid. I mean, Tom Brady's the most underpaid guy in the world. That's his own doing. He just doesn't.

He doesn't care. I would venture to guess that maybe, like, yeah, I can't believe they allowed that to happen. I know. Because that's just like, yo, you're fucking over other dudes. Yeah. Like, other quarterbacks must be like, fuck you, Tom Brady. Everything just gets brought back to, this is how much Matt Stafford makes.

Look how much Tom Brady makes. Matt Stafford's like, I make market value. Yeah, like I'm not overpaid. This is just standard. I would maybe venture to guess that like Ronaldo is going to be overpaid. I would think he is. But I don't know. You might just bring in so much cash.

Yeah, but I guess, you know what I think the biggest thing is with athletes and overpaid? I think this is a problem that should absolutely be fixed. The owner has to announce how much he makes every year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because then you have – But, well, you know, that gets weird too though because they always said that like Mark Cuban and like like when the mavs were good was like losing money and like donald sterling when the clippers were like abysmal for 25 million years straight he was like the most profitable owner but that's fine then you then you end up with the the owner getting shit for being like how bad oh i see what you mean i thought you meant

to show how much the stars are bringing in i thought i see what you mean so like the owner the owner yeah the owner should get the most shit because it starts at the top. Yeah, that's what – and that happens with some owners, obviously, with the Wilpons and stuff like that. But there are plenty of owners who just skate by doing absolutely nothing and just taking in their cash. And I would like to see some sort of P&L on it. Like tell me what – all right, LeBron makes like $40 million now, but like he probably makes that back and show me. Show me concessions. Show me jerseys.

Show me merch. Show me all this, that, the other thing, season tickets. And then it's like, no, he's not overpaid. He's not overpaid. He's fucking underpaid. He can win zero games. Yeah. He's not overpaid.

You know what doesn't – and we'll get to our quickie topic here, but a little rant here. When people – I saw people in Cleveland being like – I saw one person in Cleveland being like i saw one person in cleveland being like my family owns a bar and like this is gonna be bad that he's gone like well your bar shouldn't be completely predicated upon an nba free agent right like then your bar's not that good there are i understand that it helps the city and when he leaves it kind of hurts the city but that should all be relative and you really should have a better business plan than like well lebron's here yeah it's just gonna

go good i know that i've heard that stuff and there have been like you know boston globe articles and things like that with bars around the garden and you know how much they make how much more they make when the team's good when the team's you know when you're the playoffs or even when you have just a star yeah but the playoffs in particular is what the articles in boston are usually about oh yeah how much yeah how much more they're gonna make this season but that's also just a sheer number of games and shit right and not just like those culture of around everything those bars are successful no matter what yeah it's just they get a big bump right there the playoffs yeah that's how your bar should be it should be successful no matter what right and then oh lebron's here that's great we're

making you know we'll have three rich years. And even if there's tangible, like, okay, now we're going to play like 50 more games throughout June. We're going to make more money. But if you're just like, yo, Cleveland is a cooler spot to be. Miami's a cooler spot to be because of this guy. And I can't believe he's leaving. Like, well, you're putting way too many eggs in the NBA basket, bro.

But so LeBron is out in L.A. now. Oh, and then my last point. I know that LeBron is so good that he is going to the standard is going to be that much higher. And the comparisons to guys like Jordan, I sure made. But like the thought that like for everybody, I'm like a LeBron defender. And I'm like, yeah, he's not going to win any more rings. And like, that's not going to be a good book. It's like he's already won several championships.

It's like, the standard is just so fucking high. It is weird to be three and seven or whatever, but like the fact, yeah, three and six, the fact that he's like, there is just going to be some like little cloud over him.

Like, yeah. And then he went to LA for several years and couldn't even win a championship. No, he's already won his championships. And now he's out in LA to do movies and live life and be in the sun and go to dinner with DiCaprio and Pacino. I think he's already producing and potentially starring in a Sony picture.

He might stink at basketball. He might get out of shape and not care because he's doing La La Land. And, I mean, rolling up with DiCaprio and pacino is like announcing your presence that's like you took your flag you took your dick out on the table and you're like la i'm here and like the you know you're getting co-signed by the old guard and the new guard as far as like you know actors who who can you know make you a made man what do you think they those three talk about well that was what i was gonna say like that's cool they're walking in and out. I bet you that dinner was insufferable.

I could see maybe DiCaprio and Pacino, they've got a little Scorsese type of thing going on. I don't know if they've ever been to movies together, have they? They might just be. Nothing sticks out. I mean, those guys can probably just talk about movies and fucking Hollywood girls and all that sort of shit. Like, LeBron trying to keep up with that?

That's got to be lame as shit. I don't know. LeBron, you know, he's trying to keep up with that? That's got to be lame as shit. I don't know. LeBron, you know, he's married to his high school sweetheart. LeBron's got stories. He's got stories, but like, here's what's weird about LeBron. I will say this about him. If I'm LeBron James and I go sit down with Leo and Pacino and they're telling war stories or, like, just, you know,

dick-measuring stories, I'm going to come with my own dick measuring stories about the time I won NBA championships and shit. I could see LeBron being like trying to fit in with them rather than be like, you fit in with me. I'm LeBron James. I could see him being like, all right, yeah, I'm trying to do this movie thing too. Let me try to impress these guys in their world

rather than just be like, right? I mean, I would just be like, that's cool. You guys were in movies, but did you ever beat Tim Duncan in the finals? You know what I mean? That, to me, they would be impressed with. I could see him trying to morph into their world instead and that dinner just being terrible. That doesn't work. That usually doesn't work.

You've got to stay yourself. If it's just guys like the Keegan Bradley crew. He said, oh, I was on train wreck one time. Yeah, right. I know what you guys mean. Amy Schumer was like, no, man. like that the keegan bradley crew like when he said oh i was on train wreck one time yeah right exactly i know what you guys mean amy schumer was like no man like the keegan bradley crew like all those guys probably just share their own like versions of their own war stories and don't try to like you know because everyone's got their own shit but uh but for lebron you know he probably went home like fuck yeah me pacino leo yeah, Leo, yeah, yeah. Like anybody else would.

I am a LeBron defender as well just because – Everyone – Dave's a hater. Dave's a hater, yeah. And it's just annoying to hear that around the office all the time. So when dad thinks something, you think the opposite. Naturally. Naturally. But the – yeah, he is kind of like that, unfortunately.

That's when you hate your dad. You like your dad. You just like – you agree with him. You watch sports with him and you like him. You love him. Right. of like that, unfortunately. That's when you hate your dad. You like your dad. You just agree with him. You watch sports with him, and you like him. You love him. Right. My real father, yeah. But yeah, I think LeBron is like that, unfortunately.

That's the one thing he never fully could embrace, the off-the-court persona and lifestyle. It's the same A-Rod problem. But you know what? I think there is a potential he does the A-Rod. Yeah, the post-career. Post-A-Rod, yes. you know what? I think there is a potential he does the A-Rod. Yeah, the post-career. Yes. I would agree with that.

He's a likable guy now. Yep. I always said those guys should have been more like Barry Bonds. But the thing about Barry Bonds is he's like shunned. So you have to really sign up

for like villain life. But I feel like Barry Bonds goes home and puts his feet up and doesn't give a fuck. But Bonds isn't shunned anymore, right? He's making his way back, but he was pretty shunned. He's shunned by the Hall. And I'm not even talking, yeah, he's shunned literally, but like you just don't see Barry Bonds making, yeah.

But where is he? He was in Marlins. He was in Marlins for a while. I don't think he's with Miami anymore. He moved on from there. But I just, you know, he's not going to be in movies and TV appearances. He's not doing SNL. He's not, you know, that kind of shit.

That's true. So they might have been like, yeah, we're awkward, but like, I'm going to be on Saturday Night Live. So that's fine. Anyway, so the question for today's quickie, turning into a full-length podcast here, is if you could go to dinner with two people, who would it be? If you're talking

like Hollywood actor type shit, I don't think Pacino would be on there for me, but it would be for a lot of people. Like, Leo and Pacino is a heavy hitter duo to sit down with. I think Pacino's kind of lost his fucking mind. Yeah, so do I, but I also feel like that's because he's played a couple roles where he played people who look like he's lost his fucking mind, but I definitely get the feeling that he doesn't give a shit anymore.

No. He was in that Pepsi commercial a few years ago. Remember that? It's the weirdest thing you'll ever see in your life. He played that one dude, Alan Spector or somebody Spector, who just looked wacky, and that was it for me. I'm like, whoa he played dr kevorkian yep yeah so okay you do that you create a couple of those things and it's like it's weird shit yeah i think i think he's off the deep end i don't i don't i wouldn't have either of them in my two i i i would not mind leo this is i don't know i just think i not not leo's my hero but i think i like the uh i think

leo to me is kind of um don't meet your heroes uh not not don't meet your heroes but the psychological thriller rather than when you see the actual monster gotcha where it's it's like you know what you know what it is it's more uh you want the show where the couple is not together they're always getting together yeah you know they always is? It's more you want the show where the couple is not together. They're always getting together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They always said, like, when Ross and Rachel were apart, friends was good when they got together. Jim and Pam. Jim and Pam.

The chase. I actually don't mind Jim and Pam together, but most people did. But I just think the idea of him is much better than the real him. Well, because I bet you, but this might be why I want to hang out with him. I think the real Leo might be kind of like a normal dude. I envision him I mean the dude slept in a horse.

Well, for a movie. Yeah, but what the fuck would you sleep in a horse for? Well, because he's been chasing that fucking Oscar forever. I know, but still. Did he win it for that? No, he won it for that one. That's it. That's why he slept on a horse, bro. Still,

I still wouldn't do it. Did you hear the rumor this chick from E, I love her, Morgan Taylor? Actually, I'm changing my mind on this because I think Jonah Hill's normal as fuck and they get along together. They're like best friends. And you know what? That might be a pick

right there that that's a strong jonah hill famous failing upwards guest and and leo because now because now you're not it's not an awkward dinner it's just like you're with two buddies you know they know each other it's like not like a three-way like we're all meeting each other in an awkward circumstance like all right i'm just rolling with jonah and and uh i wouldn't i wouldn't want that to be i wouldn't want the dinner we're envisioning leBron and Pacino and all them having where it is a story. I want stories to come up. Yeah, I want it to be a normal dinner.

And I think that Leo can do that. It's just that his stories are going to be like, I fought with fucking models on a yacht. Whereas ours are like – We went to the Smith yesterday. But the girl on E said she knows somebody who hooked up, who fucked Leo, and he only fucks girls now with his headphones in and doggy style. Like, I don't even look at you. Like, I just smash you from the back. I have my music in.

Like, I'm done and you're gone. What? Yeah. Yeah, man. And she said this on E. I was like, damn, I don't know you're allowed to do that. I got to get her. I think it's definitely Morgan something.

Morgan Stewart, Morgan Taylor, something taylor something that like just headphones in music on like it's just like just a butt that i'm having sex with and keep it moving because he's just like all fucked out you know what i mean it's just like uh see what's the that i what's even the point yeah but that's one of those dolls that's where it's like uh i think he just like needs to have sex with a girl to like start the day it's like you need to have coffee some people have their you know addictions this is just like i gotta have sex with a girl to start the day. It's like, you need to have coffee. Some people have their addictions. His is just like, I got to have sex with a human butt right now. And I don't even want to hear her or talk to her, so let me just pop in some tunes.

Wild. All of these things make me think Leo is not a bad choice. Yeah, but that's... I'm a guy who does that. It's kind of strange. Yeah, but you never... It depends on whether you want to be totally comfortable at dinner or whether you want to go home. Like, that was interesting.

Yeah, there's – I prefer to be comfortable at dinner. That's why I'll never get a job. If you don't want to hire me, ask me who two people I'd want to have dinner with the most ever. I mean, we've done questions. Who would be in your golf foursome? Who would go to dinner? Who would be in your Mount Rushmore? Who would you play five-man basketball with?

All that shit. And we never, like, it's not like we ever have, like, go-to answers. No. I mean, I think the answer is probably you and Keith. John, shoot higher one time for me. I really think that's probably my answer. That's who I'd have the most fun at dinner with. That's what I want to do.

I want to have fun. I feel you. You're definitely not in mind no if i'm just picking like based on people and names and stories and clout and shit like that this is a little bit recency bias and this is a little bit cliche at the moment and probably from starting a couple years ago through eternity cliche but i just watched rampage and the rock is just so fucking cool and i just saw him with caleb you know what you know how cool the rock is just so fucking cool. And I just saw him with Caleb. You know what? You know how cool the rock is?

This is what we determined. The rock was Caleb proof. Like Caleb was trying to do is just like, you know, shit. We make you feel awkward. And the rock just like bowled him over. And was just like shooting the shit with him and kept up with him. Like one, two steps ahead. So when you, when Caleb can't make you awkward, you're just like the coolest cat on earth.

Rampage is just so goddamn good. I tried to watch it the other night. It wasn't on demand. You couldn't even buy it. Do you have Fios? No, I have Spectrum. Maybe it's just like earlier on Fios or something. It's like there's a lot of funnier moments where he's like,

you're making fun of how the movie's like silly, you know? So there's like a lot of jokes in it and shit, and he's just so cool. And he would be be like a polite dinner guest like he's such a nice dude i think at least i get that vibe i would be very devastated if we found out that the rock was like actually a dick behind closed doors i think every account of him is like i you know we met him like totally off camera and everything and he was like super nice but if we if i found out that was all an act i would that would cut me deep i would not like there is still kind of rumors about that with fast and furious was he like what like hard to work with though or yeah it was something like him and vin diesel

will never be on screen together again you know what though that's different than like if like maybe him and maybe vin diesel was being vin diesel and the rock was like fuck you man yeah you know like that would make me almost like him more if vin was being a d a diva and the rock like didn't stand for that i don't think there's ever been a story of him like going to a dinner and being like a total asshole to people yeah he's extraordinarily charismatic yeah i think people say he's the new oj where it was well i don't know if we were all like pre-murder yeah yeah where he was he transcends race right people don't see for the rock yeah well he's also confusing. It's also like, well, you're Hawaiian or something, right?

Isn't that kind of white? My other pick, and I don't know if they would mesh, but in a similar way, never heard a bad story about him when it comes to real life, is Mike Francesco. Total asshole to everybody else on camera and on, like, when they call up, but... And I feel like he would, like, know how to do dinner. Like, I would let Mike

pick the spot. Oh, you mean eat? Yeah. Like, eat, like, do, you know, like, take me to Mike's spot. Like, I'll take care of you. Like, I know the owner. I'll get the table. I'll get the pretty waitress over here. One of my favorite Mike stories from, like, off the beaten owner. I get the table. I got the pretty waitress over here. One of my favorite Mike stories from like off the beaten path.

I knew, I think, who was it? It was the dude I used to work with at Sirius. Patrick told me he once went to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, one of those casinos up there. And they were playing blackjack. And they had like a kind of like a high roller table like separate and he he would like he'd place his bets and like take credit for everyone else like if they hit he'd be like you see that kid like you're welcome because you know i stayed on mine so like yeah yeah keep that keep that for everybody anytime anybody wore their hair. I was planning on it. Thank you. You can hold that, kid. So that would be my two just like mash-up people. But what you just said, Jonah and Leo got me cooking,

I would go Jonah and Channing Tatum. That's fucking – I beat you to it. I beat you to it. That would be so fun. In my head, I was thinking, okay, I did have Jonah, so I can't have Keith and Kevin. That's embarrassing. So I said, I got Jonah for sure,

because I think him just showing up to the Failing Upwards party is so fucking cool. The coolest thing ever. Support the homies. Yeah, and I was thinking, all right, Jonah and, and I was going to say Channing Tatum. The other guy. Channing Tatum.

I've told stories before where I know one of Channing's friends from Florida, and we used to drunk dial him all the time. It was a girl and but she used to tell me all these stories about just like him he just sounds like the coolest guy he puts on 50 pounds in between movies because he doesn't like being in shape just doesn't like it not his thing

when you're like when you when you're so hot and cool that you could be a wildly successful male stripper, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, the male stripper. But, like, he – He's the type of guy who doesn't like being in shape. You think he's like, I'm not going to be a male stripper.

But it was just like, but I'm so hot and good at it. I have to be. That is next level shit. I owe this to the world to be a male stripper. Yes. He had a diving board off his balcony in his bedroom, and when he was not filming, the

cleaning lady that made her first job in the morning was to put a case of Coors Light in the pool, floating. And he would wake up, jump off the diving board, and float for the whole day just drinking beers. Just by himself. Like no friends.

He was married to Jenna at the time but he just, that's all he would do. Just drink. These are second hand stories. Maybe they're not totally factual but like they're, these are what I was told. Well even, but what what really clinched it for me was the article he did in the GQ

where he was just, you learned that he was like a mad man. When he's talking about Donald ducking yourself for you. So drunk, you wake up with your shirt and no pants on. Cause that's how Donald. That was where he, he canceled her driver,

right? Yes. He canceled her driver, showed up in Alabama in his own car. It was like, Oh no, I'm not getting a driver. I got you.

And then they got on the road and he took the first exit off to pick up a case of beers to drive with. He's like, crack this six-pack. What we're learning is Channing Tatum likes to throw a few back. That's the kind of guy you want to have dinner with. That's the fucking, that's 1,000%. And Jonah Hill maybe right now, skinny guy, but you know fat guy at heart, so you know he can put some food

back. So you're getting the best of both worlds. Those two together would be just so, so cool. And then you get the clout. You get the Hollywood stories. You get some serious eating and drinking. But you also just have two guys who are friends who you hopefully click with,

and it's just a normalized dinner. You're not doing a celebrity dinner thing. I would pass on The Rock just because I think The Rock is just so much better than me that it just wouldn't be fun for me. Well, he would not be entertained by you at all. I feel like... I think we'd have fun. Jonah and Channing would let me talk.

Yeah. They'd give me a shot. I'll try to make you laugh. I think The Rock would let you talk, but I just think he... Maybe he even would. Maybe he's such a really good person that he would be genuinely interested in your story

and just hanging out with you. But I just feel like he's just such a good person that it just... I don't know. I don't work with good people. He officially ruled himself out for the presidency in 2020. Yeah, but he said maybe 2024. Yeah, because he was just like, I don't have time. Yeah. Not like I don't want to do it. He's like, I don't have experience. Right. But I don't know. I hope we

don't have anyone who's a celebrity. I also hope that will ruin The Rock. You'll have to like, unless he's just the best. I don't know. I have a feeling The Rock wouldn't be a great president. I don't know. And the first time we did the whole celebrity thing for president didn't seem to work out. It's just the thing where, you know, it's not an easy job.

No, no, it's it's pretty terrible. And also, if The Rock is the president, he's not going to be making Rampage and Skyscraper. Yeah, like that's what we want The Rock to do. Fuck. I might hungover go see Skyscraper tomorrow morning after Pop Punk today. Yo, I'm telling you, you will love it. Skyscraper, you haven't seen it? Oh, I see.

Rampage and Skyscraper. Yeah. Is Skyscraper out? Comes out tonight. All right, I think I'm going to do that too. You know what? Should we add that to the list of Alone Together? Just both of them?
