The Bobby Bones Show - 25W: Are the Guys Going to Buy a Cow? + Eddie Almost Fought a Teenager + Boston Celtics HoF Robert Parish on Fights in the 80's 

Episode Date: March 30, 2026

Eddie throws out a wild question to the guys: does anybody want to buy a cow from his friend? Somehow, that turns into a real debate. Plus, Eddie shares the story of how he almost got into it with a teenager, and Bobby sits down with Celtics Hall of Famer Robert Parish to talk about what fighting in the NBA was really like in the 80s, why he got a later start in basketball than most people would expect, and what pushed him to finally tell his story in his new book. Parish also opens up about why now felt like the right time to release it and reflect on the journey that got him there.

limited time offer. All right, how about that frigging Duke Yukon game? Wild. Crazy. Blow the whistle. So here we are. Yeah, that was crazy, man. I got to tell you, I am down with basketball.

Once Arkansas lost, I thought the tournament was over. Oh, you're not watching anymore? I thought they canceled up for everybody. No, it turns out it still goes on. Well, how about that? Okay, so I was only watching scores, and Yukon was getting their butts kicked. So I didn't even put it over. And then halftime happens, and Yukon was still getting their butt kicked. And so I checked it over midway through the fourth, and they started to make a move.

So I just started monitoring a little close. Once it started getting close, I flipped it. I actually saw the play. But I watched, it's like I got to, treat without having to eat the cereal. You know, I dug in the box, got the toy. There was no investment. None. I only got the good stuff. Yeah. Most of these games, I feel

like you can watch second half, and if something good happens, you got it. I could not, again, everybody's going to say this 100 times. Everything that could have went wrong went wrong there, and I've heard it broken down 500 times. There's only 10 seconds from the clock. They could have kept the ball back court. They had a timeout left. He could have not trying to pass the ball. All these

things. But you still got to hit that shot. And that's a very low percentage shot. You still got to hit that shot. It's a low percentage shot to just shoot at Open 3. Yes. But man, he was like half court logo. He was will barreling those nuts after that shot.

That was awesome. It wasn't even like off the backboard. It wasn't like Kentucky and Santa Clara. Chunks it up, prayer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was nothing. And you watched it live, like did you think, because when I was watching it, as soon as he shot it, I was like, I think that's going in. You look good from the get-go.

I definitely did not. think it was going in just based off of there's no way that shots going in. Like everything that had to happen, the inbound, he freaked out, the guys tipped it. Yeah. The first guy didn't shoot it. He had the understanding to pass it back to the guy. He shot it.

I was like, there's no, my God. And I was just like, I don't believe. Here's the thing. I was very happy because everybody hates Duke. Unless you love Duke. Duke is the Yankees. Duke is the Cowboys. Duke, Duke wins. Easy, easy.

But I started to think to myself, why do I hate Duke right now? I shouldn't. Because I like Shire as a coach. It seems like fine good guy. So I just hate the brand. Then they choke their brains off. The fact they had Cinnipple and flag last year.

They lost to Houston in the final four, right? Or championship game. No, no. Final four. And they were a big like seven last couple minutes. With the last two minutes. Two minutes left. Yeah.

They were up 19 in this game. 19. It's unbelievable. It was awesome. Unless it happens to you. Like I had one of these, a version of this happened to me last year. Sweet 16, Texas Tech comes back and it was the biggest comfort behind victory in Sweet 16 history. Texas Tech beat Arkansas. That's tough to take.

Man, if you're on the other side of it, it's just amazing. Yeah. So I don't even like Yukon. I should hate Yukon because Hurley annoys the crap out of me too. He's much easier to dislike than Duke is right now. Yes, correct. But I've disliked Duke my whole life. Therefore, I was rooting for Yukon to beat Duke.

The shot, again, what a shot. And this kid in Mullins, like, freshman, I think he was 0 for three on the day on threes. So it wasn't like he's going to be the last shot. I don't have the stats in front of me, but I believe in the first half, they were like one for 16 for threes or something like that. And then they came alive. I don't think that he wanted to take that last shot. I think the plan was probably just pass it off. Maybe we'll get some of the inside.

We'll tie it up and we'll go to overtime. There was no time to have a plan. Because it was just a steel, it was a steal, yeah. It was, yeah, the deflected ball, they got it to the guy who was kind of like it's that elbow, the three point line. And there was one second on the clock, and he's like, I'm guarded, so I'll just, the other guy wasn't even thinking he's getting the ball. He's just trying to cross just in case. There was no time for him to think. It was like, here's the ball.

1.5 seconds left safety valve, ball up, boom. But Kevin knew he was going in, though. I'm just saying, like, you have an idea. At least it's going to be close. The way that he shot it, the way that it, the way that it, level. his hand, I was like, oh, wow, this looks like it's going in. Right away. I mean, I'm kind of messing with you. But sometimes, like, this whole tournament, like, there is the shot style where you look at a shot go up and you kind of have a good idea of like,

oh, that was ugly. That's not going in. Or like, ooh, that looks like a good shot. Like the St. John's Friday night against two, the kid took like a step back, the lefty, and that was way off. And you knew it from the beginning and then he airballed it. Yeah. You thought the form was good on this half court? You know the one that looked good was the Iowa from the corner? Yes. He was alone as soon as it came off his hand This wasn't this round because they lost this round

The game before Yeah He was wide open, it was a fast break to win that game Against Florida, knockout Florida That one was in as soon as it left his hand Yeah, I saw it This game was the best ending so far of the tournament right? Like this is the best

This is one of the best To make that shot In an NCAA tournament game That's the furthest game winning shot Like within one second ever The furthest away. That's amazing. Yeah.

Because there have been long ones made, but then there's like three seconds still on the clock. Like this hit and it was like 0.2 or 3 on. Yeah, 0.3 and then they changed it to point 4. And then to think that coming back from a 19 point deficit and winning would be like six in NCAA tournament history. That's crazy too. Like there's been crazier games than this. And Duke, they just have the number one recruiting class every year. Man, those booze are kids.

Good. But that's tough that one of the brothers. There's was a little to turn it over. Caden, I feel bad for him. I feel bad for Caden because he's shorter. Like, he's not the guy. I mean, he's the guard. And that's crazy.

They're twins, right? And I always think like, oh, yeah, the little one. Even though he's not little. And I didn't know the difference in their height until that commercial. Maybe it's a T-Mobile commercial. Oh, yeah. They're face-to-face talking in the commercial. And I'm like, oh, man, he really is a lot small.

It's not just that Cam Boozer is just the better athlete. It's just he has the size. Yeah, he's bigger. Yeah. Did you hear the Duke Radio call? We haven't here. Yeah. Eddie, have you heard it?

No, I'm not. Okay, so, oh, Kevin's only brought it in. That's why I have it here. Thanks, Kevin. Great job on you. Thanks. Duke Radio announcers wanted a technical for the Husky players running off the bench after Yukon hits the game winning shot on Sunday.

Here you go. Get it in, they do for Boozer. Babbled it. Back for Sarr. Needs to get rid of it, does for Caden. Seven seconds. Try to throw it ahead, deflected. Stolen by Connecticut. Two seconds.

It's Mullen's up top for the win. Oh, he hit it. With three tenths of a second to go. Dalekai Smith ran off the bench. That should be. a technical. But with three-tenths of a second to go, Connecticut has the lead, 73 to 72. You wish, buddy.

No ref is going to call that technical. But what about the Hurley, like, headbutting that ref? Did you see that clip? No. No, he actually headbutted it? Dude, he was, like, all intense after they made it, and he walked up to the ref almost like to be like, yeah, we just made that. And, I mean, got, like, it was weird.

Everyone's like, why didn't he get a technical? You'll see. A little bit probably, I get annoyed at the Hurley stuff, but a little bit probably because they know who he is. That's what I was thinking. He does that crap all the time. And if you called it every single time, it would be nonstop texts. Yeah. He probably gets the benefit of the doubt for winning and always being crazy. That's fair. But I didn't see it. That's without me seeing the clip. Because he's always going insane and they don't call crap. Yeah. Because you'd call 10 texts on him a game. Yeah, even when they made the shot, I mean, he was going nuts. You ever see Hurley

with a hat on? Huh. He looks young. Really? Most people do. He looks young and then he's like, takes his head off. He's old again. Arizona is awesome. Purdue gave a run. And then Arizona came back and really, they're really good. They're really good. I think Michigan's the dominant one though. Dude, I'm telling you, Arizona and Michigan are the two teams. Yep. I think Arizona, they're both so good.

I wish that's not the case because I have Illinois on my Calcutta, which would be, oh my gosh, can you have added? But I think they can beat Yukon. Yeah. Illinois and Yukon and Michigan and Arizona are playing, and that's Saturday, Indianapolis. Saturday and then the championship is on Monday, correct? Yeah. What time do we leave? We don't.

Yeah, when it was playing leave? I don't. I don't. I didn't even know there was basketball. I thought they canceled it. I'm surprised you watched it. Just the very, very end because I was watching the score. We were also watching the Arkansas softball game,

which they hit a big home run to win the game, which was crazy because Florida is number five in the country. So we had it going, but I just have no interest. And my wife isn't going to watch a game with me that I'm not super interested in, only because I bet on it. I don't even bet on it.

Because like the Michigan, Tennessee game, I'm just like, why am I watching this? There was a bluff in the get-go. No need to watch this game. I didn't watch any of that. I just solved the score. Yeah. Again, I didn't even know there was basketball.

Which might be the first game of the tournament that I did not watch. Oh, it was the first round for me. I've watched every game until that because I was just home with the baby. That's it. And the baby's doing about a mile on the treadmill now. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Thank you.

Crawling? No, no. She'll get up sometimes. It's just a few steps back down. A light jog, maybe? That's pretty good for a newborn. Yes. It's very good.

Really good, Brandon. We went to chat GBT and we were like newborn, only doing a mile. Should we be embarrassed? I was like, no, that's great. You should do that. Listen to this story about Brandon. So I was talking to Brandon over the weekend and he's like, hey, man, I got it. My mouth hurts.

I got an abscess in my mouth. And so you went to an emergency dentist? Yeah, man. I woke up on Saturday this side, and it's still really swollen, but it was like the size of a golf ball. And I was like, oh my gosh. And it hurt to chew, all that stuff. And so I was like, so I tried to call around to any emergency dental place. There was none.

I didn't know there were emergency dental places. I thought you had to like call a dentist to get them to come in. That was me too. And so I got a hold of somebody and they said, yeah, we don't have a dentist in. You should just go to an urgent care, regular urgent care just to make sure it's not infected. I was like, okay. So I go. And while I'm waiting, I'm searching, I'm searching.

And I found one south of Nashville. Emergency dental. They're open 9 to 9 to 9, every single day. 9 to 9. 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. to 9 a.m. Okay. So what if you happen at midnight, though? You're just screwed? It's not really an emergency dental place.

Right. I guess that's a good question. You don't have to get an appointment at any time. Oh, they take walk-ins, all the things. So I canceled the urgent care. I told the doctor what was up. He was like, oh, dude, just go. So I got an appointment for 6 p.m. I go in. They give me two huge shots of numbing stuff. And by then, dude, it was a baseball.

It was getting bigger. feel it getting bigger? Dude, yeah. A baseball? And that pain, they're like, one to ten, what's your pain? I was like, I'm going to say a nine. This is unbearable. And Brandon's like, my mouth hurts, but if you need anything, let me know, I'll cut some clips.

And I'm like, dude, I got your photo. Hand all your stuff. It's got a baseball. I'm like, is it drooling on this computer? I'm in the chair, like, you know, texting pictures. But yeah, they started a root canal. That's what I had to get. And I already had a crown on this tooth.

So what they think is the crown. broke and there was like debris from the there was just stuff getting in there over time oh got it you know and and just slowly infecting and then you know waking up like that they said I caught it early

so APM I'm getting a root canal they give me a temporary crown and I get home by like 1130 you know and you look fine you feeling good I feel so much better oh my gosh but right here you can feel it's like a

like a grape size, yeah. How'd that root canal feel? Better than I thought. I've had one done before two or three years ago, and it was fast, and I'm deathly afraid of the dentist. I hate it, you know.

But they walked me through everything. They told me what they were doing, and I think they got it done in like 45 minutes. It didn't hurt real bad? No, because they numbed literally this entire side of my face. I started to get root canals when I first started to go to the dentist. So I never went as a kid,

but then when I started to go to the dentist in my 20s, when I got insurance, I had probably seven years of work I had to do to get back to normal. And at that time, getting a root canal when I very first started getting a root canal, so it was probably like 2001. They hurt.

They hurt. I had like three immediately. They hurt, they hurt, they hurt, different dentists. And then over time, I feel like I'm going to do the dentist now and get a root canal if I have to get one, I can go in. The shots hurt a little bit

when they numb you. But they're able to do that. now so easily. The technology is incredible. Don't they knock you out? Don't you? Or a gas, laughing gas or what do you do? I do laughing gas. Dude, if I had a machine in my house, I'd do that today.

That's why you don't have a machine at house. It's one of the greatest. It's the only time I've ever been like high. That's when I like understand what love even is. Yeah, man. Everything just makes sense. I'm not kidding. Like I'm floating. You like the Beatles. And all black.

The last time I was floating and I was in all black and I can hear the music that they're playing, but I don't know. Hendricks, who was it? And how, no, it's just, whatever they're playing on, like, the, the, P.A. system. But when you're totally aware,

you can hear the song. As you do more and more laughing, and then it disappears. And that's how I know I'm coming back because I've had so much dental work. Like, I know where I am now. It's like somebody who's really good at drugs, takes a lot of drugs.

They know exactly where they are. When I start doing, music starts to come back, but I can't hear it. I know I'm coming back too. And then when I hear it fully, I'm back, I'm like, God, dang. This sounds like a movie. Yeah.

I've never more relaxed, though. It's a place that I've never been in my life that I get on laughing gas, where I'm not tense, I'm not stressed. I'm like thinking about abstract thoughts, not just how to get stuff done. That's cool. Just regular thoughts. It's wild. You know, Brandon's talking about his story about the baseball thing.

I had a golf ball one. Like, I don't know, this was like a couple years ago. on my cheek and I went to the doctor I'm like what is happening this thing is getting bigger and bigger Did it hurt? Oh it hurts so bad And it ended up being

Too many margaritas The doctor was like Your salivary glands Yeah your salivary glands Getting infected He's like are you drinking anything sour And I was like I don't think so

And I realized like I've been drinking margaritas every night For the last like two weeks So but there had to be something That allowed the margaritas The lime man The lime and margaritas No but there had to be something wrong with it

that the margarita affected it in a negative way. He said basically if you're something sour that you're drinking has like clogged up your salivary gland. And it's like, all margarita. So the blame it to margaritas. I had to cut out margaritas in my life. Did they have to drain it out and margaritas come out? It partied it out. It's a margarita.

It's a margarita comes out. Nah, they just put me on antibiotics. But that was crazy. I had to cut out margaritas in my life. Man. So Eddie has a friend, I guess, who do you know that's selling a cow? Okay, so this is a buddy of mine who he has a farm and he called me one day. He's like, man, I have an opportunity for you because I know you love to grill.

You love to smoke meat. He's like, I'm doing this thing for my friends where like you can buy a cow. Do it. And he's like, I need to hear more about this. He said, get your buddies involved like because if you buy a whole cow, because you can buy a whole cow for like two grand. And it's like that's a lot of meat. So if you want, you can do a quarter of a cow, which is less meat, but still a lot of meat. So it's $900 to buy a quarter of a cow.

You get to pick which cuts you want. You want briskets out of it. You want tea bones. You want ribbyes, ground beef. Whatever you want, you get to choose your quarter of the cow for $900. And I said, you know what? Stand by. I'm going to talk to my buddies.

It's just for meat, though. It's not an investment. No, it's meat. It's just meat. I'm out of it. Dude, the freshest meat. It's a cow. So if we buy today, we will have fresh meat by next year.

Next April. I wouldn't know the difference that if I went to whole foods and body. Your body does. Your body knows. If it were some sort of investment or it's like buy a baby cow and then sell it later, maybe I would be into it. I'm not buying it for meat. You don't want fresh meat.

Yes, I'll go to the store. I mean, technically you're saving money, right, Eddie? That's what he said. Because you get in such big bulk. Yep. You're saving money. He said you're going to need a freezer. You buy a quarter of a cow for how much?

900 bucks. But a whole cow is how much? 2,000. I heard that too. That makes no sense. What do you mean? Yeah. Because if you buy half of the cow, that's 1,800.

Oh, I meant to say 4,000. That's on me. That's my math. Oh, okay. That's my math. Plus, like, so you can buy the quarter for 900 or you can buy the whole cow. He's not trying to make money off us. He said, this is just for my buddies.

If I could buy a cow and then sell it to idiots who'd buy the quarter, then I'd be in. There you go. I'll buy an eighth. I did think that it was a business opportunity. when he first called. It's not. It's an meat opportunity. It's an eating opportunity.

Where's this coming from? A ranch right down the road in Dixon. Nice. Are you going to buy it? You have to get people in with you. I can't do it by myself. I don't even have that much storage. I can't buy half a cow or a quarter of a cow and put that in my freezer.

So, but if you guys want to go in and we split our cuts, dude, if you want, if you want, you can pick your rib-eyes or whatever, and I'll grill them for you. Dang. $900. We can all go in a quarter. quarter of a cow right now. I'm out. I don't need the meat. But you love meat. So now it's a third of a cow if you guys want to do it. And Mike, because Mike's vegan. He, you know, Mike's out. Mike, I wasn't talking to you, Mike. Mike buys in just to throw it away.

So 300 bucks, 33 bucks from each of you, if you want all that meat. Kevin? Dude, I'm in. But you need a third or it's going to be 500. Was that me? That's what a cow saying, don't do it. It's actually the cow, Eddie brought in. So you get to hear the one we're going to So if it's me, you and Brandon, what was it, $300? 333. 333. Let me think about it.

I got to know how much it is, too, because to your point, I got to be able to store it. That's not right. That's $1,000. I'd say it was $1,000 if it were $900. So it's $300. You make $100. In my mind, I was like, how. I mean, there may be some processing fees in there.

Oh, my God. There we go. Shipping. That's not going to be any more than like. It can be $3.333 now. That's what I'm saying. It might be $333. Dude, I mean, I'm in.

But you're not getting it until April. It's a year. Yeah, a year, right? They're going to raise it. Yeah, that's fun. Give me time to create space. If we say yes today, they're going to, he's going to buy the cow as a little calf.

He's making money off of you. No, man. He said no. It's just really like. This feels like a pyramid scheme right now, the way you're talking about it. And then you get four people to buy a cow. Yeah. You get in on the ground floor.

Can we come visit the cow? Yes. Yes. You send you pictures of it. Oh, that would make it worse. No, that would make it worse for sure. The cow mysteriously dies. Yeah.

So you're out completely? I don't want the meat. You love meat. Yeah, but I like to buy meat from the grocery store now when I want it. When you need it. Yeah. Okay. I don't need you to cook it.

Brandon? Man, I'm, I'll let you know. Okay. Yeah. Clock's ticking, though, guys. That is the line of I'm out. You can't press us on the clock's ticket. Well, I'm just saying the longer we wait, the longer we have to wait for this meat.

It's going to take a whole year. That to me is not appealing. I think it sounds great. That it's going to take a whole year. You might die. Then you just spend all this money. Or the cow might die. You say it like that.

Mike? Yeah. We've got to sign something. Make sure the cow gets to a certain age. You guys are out. Whatever. Hey, Kevin said he might be in. I'm in here.

So it's just me and Kevin. I thought it was a money-making opportunity. I'd have been in on that. It's a meat-making opportunity. Did you watch the dinosaurs on Netflix? Yeah. Well, not all of them. I've watched three of the four.

Not all the dinosaurs? Not all the dinosaurs. My wife and I thought about watching it. We didn't jump. Yeah. And if you've seen the reviews, it's got like these glowing reviews. Massives. That's why we even thought about it.

And I'm like, I watched, like I said, three of the four. I'm going to watch the last one, I'm pretty sure, but I'm not like eager to watch it. It's been almost a week and I haven't watched it. And they're only like 45 minutes. Would you buy a quarter of a Tyrannosaurus for $900? Yes. 100%. 933.

The graphics, CGI, all that is unreal. Amazing. But like the stories themselves and the facts and all that. Yeah. It's just like I don't feel like I'm learning anything and I want to learn something if I'm watching it. Like they just throw random stuff in here and they go from like 20, 30 million years to like 98. And then back, I don't know, back and forth. So it's good to watch visually, but it's not my favorite.

Mike, do you watch it? Yeah, I learned a lot. But learned a lot about what though, Mike? How the dinosaurs adapted to the environment, how much the world has changed over all those millions of years and like how they're basically chickens. I feel like it's like Because they're birds I watched the first episode Oh you did?

Yeah I did And I felt like I was like This is a cool fictional story like Like how do they know? That too How do they know? That's another factor

I enjoyed it because it's kind of like Well that's cool The visual of that happening They're carbon dating by their bones Possibly It's a guess No no no no no no possibly It's a guess

But from Mike to be like I learned so much I don't know what we learned It is not a guess It's I mean I think they form a hypothesis and they chase it down. That's a guess.

That's a fancy way of saying a guess. Yeah, but then they do the work to figure out if they feel like it's true based on what they originally thought. Yeah. Now, it is cool to see like a dinosaur attack. Yeah. Like that's cool to see that. That's not real.

I know. That's what I'm saying. It's a good movie. It's like watching a movie. But I wouldn't watch it to be like a documentary. They're a real life Scientologists, paleontologists. Yeah, but they're just like us, man. They're not.

Those titles make them sound so smart, but they're just like us, you know? They're hanging out at a bar right now watching. Watching basketball. Yeah, buying a cow. Does it help that Morgan Freeman? Of course. I mean, of course. That's cool.

Yeah. Like I said, it's cool to look at and watch and all that. But even like the first dinosaur, I don't really know where it came from still. 40 billion years ago. Yeah, but the first anything, we really don't know where it came from. I know. Andy Newfrey. The velociraptor.

It was a tiny one. I can't believe that you think of paleontologists just like us. Yeah. What about like an astrophysicist? The only reason I say that is because, like, I went to high school with people that are doctors. I'm like, dude, I know these guys. Okay, but you're not taking a shot at paleontology. No, no, just.

Because you said they guessed, but you could say that about physicists. Correct. You could say that about a lot of science. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you watch the dinosaur one, and it's like, it's really cool. The visual's awesome, but I wouldn't look at it and be like, wow, that's really how it was. We don't know. They're just guessing.

But it's a cool guess. and they do unsolved mysteries, and they show you the person doing the crime. I love those. Based on what the conclusions they've drawn. The reenactments. Is that real? No, it's not. It's close, though, based on what they know.

That dinosaur show was basically just unsolved mysteries. Pretty much. Yeah, the reenactment. There's one where, like, Matthew McConaughey's reenacted in one, like an unsolved mysteries. No way. I think of the dinosaurs. You also didn't believe in dinosaurs, though, I remember correctly, until a few years ago.

Yeah, a couple years ago is when I... Wait, wait, wait, what? Exactly. I'm trying to piece all this together as he's talking. I just remember Eddie also, he just thought they were fictional. Like they were a cartoon. Not real. Correct.

I remember going to the museum and they'd have like dinosaur prints. I'm like, oh, that's cute. Like dinosaurs. It's like, um, Medusa. Like, ooh, she had snakes coming out of her head. Cool. Like, Zeus. He had lightning bolts.

Love it. So mythology and dinosaurs to you were the same. Correct. And then I realized later, I'm like, no, this is, they were like real animals. that roam the earth. How much later? They're like a few years ago. I just found this out like two years ago.

Wow. Yeah. I thought it was like a myth. The dinosaurs roam in the earth. But it's crazy. The thing is, I don't think that they were as big as we thought that they were, right? Like, they're not super, super huge. Well, scale was different because they don't want buildings to compare it to.

Right. So I do think, I don't know, let's ask. And it just took millions of years to get to that size. Like, I don't know. I think the Bronosaurus, in my mind, is the biggest. Now, it's only because as a kid it was always painted the biggest. Yeah. So let me ask here.

What was the largest dinosaur and how large was it? The largest known dinosaur, and indeed the largest land animal ever, was probably Argentinosaurus. This massive titanosaur lived during the late Cretaceous period around 95 to 100 million years ago. Based on fossil estimates, Argentinosaurus is thought to have reached lengths of about 100 to 120 feet and may have weighed in the ballpark of 70 to 100 tons. In other words, it was like a walking building. How big was the Bronosaurus? The Brontosaurus was definitely big, though not as gigantic as the largest Titanosaurus.

Adults were typically around 70 to 75 feet long and weighed about 15 to 20 tons. They were still massive by any measure. Picture something longer than a standard of school bus and weighing more than a couple of elephants. How tall was the Bronosaurus? Brontosaurus stood roughly 15 to 20 feet tall at the hips. When you factor in its long neck extending upwards, it could easily reach around 40 to 50 feet high when stretching its neck upward. So it could feed from pretty tall trees, making it a true giant of the Jurassic.

That's pretty big. 20 feet from the hips. That's really big. Huh. What does she call it a tight? Tighteness or? I guess that's the bigger version of just a dinosaur. Dang.

That's scary. It feels like some transformers, doesn't it? I'm sending you a picture of the Argentinosaurs. Whoa. Thank you. This is insane. Come on. And these are the fossils that they found.

Right. That are real, Eddie. That are real now, yeah. Hey, I have one other question. We have a friend here who doesn't really believe in dinosaurs. Or he has a loose belief in them, but he thinks they're just guessing whenever he watches a series, like on Netflix, called dinosaurs. He doesn't think that they really are what are depicted. What would you say to him?

I'd say it's understandable to be skeptical of how exact we can be. After all, we're talking about creatures from millions of years ago. But I'd remind him that paleontology is a science. It's not just guesswork. It's based on fossils, bones, and evidence. Scientists piece together clues like footprints, fossilized skin impressions, and even chemical analysis of bones. Are the Netflix animations perfect? No, they're artistic interpretations based on the best of available evidence. But the bones themselves, those are real. And they tell us these creatures absolutely existed.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what they look like. I mean, she's saying that, what they look like. No, she's not saying what you said. Yeah. But, like, we don't know how they moved. We don't even know how they ate the other ones or how they attacked the other ones. But you can know how they moved based on how big they were or even like the distance

and bones. Yeah. Like if you put the hips together, the legs. Did you see a picture of the? Yeah. The bumblebee. sent to all of us? Or you sent me a bumblebee?

Argentinosaurus. Oh. Wow. Who has that? That looks like a Tyrannosaurus and a bronosaurus made love and that came out. It looks mean and angry with the teeth, but then it's a big tall, giraffe-looking thing like a... How does it turn to a dinosaur podcast? I don't know.

I'm here for it. Eddie called out the paleontologist. Yeah, it was kind of weird. I'm not calling them out. You are. I think they're doing fine, fine work, but... They're awesome guessing. They're not guessing.

That's not accurate. They're not guessing. They're not guessing how one dinosaur attacked the other one. Yes, they are. Based on how they think the bones are able to move. They're not guessing. They're formulating educated opinions based on the chemical, the bones, everything that they're able to put together. So they're not guessing.

You're like a lawyer. No, I'm not. There's just a difference in guessing and having some evidence in basing what you think based off evidence that is given. Right. What's crazy is how they can see from the teeth that these dinosaurs are carnivores or herbivores because they can see from the teeth. That's incredible to me. So they can predict, oh yeah, the Tyrannosaurus, this is what his teeth looks like. They can see from bones that have been probably attacked by those same teeth. Oh, even the bones. That's a good point. No, but Eddie says there's no way.

Oh, Eddie. They're probably like at a bar being like, guys, we've got to come up with something. We've been doing this for how long? One more shot and we'll get it. Come on. All right, we have Robert Parrish coming up. Robert Parrish, the Celtics Great, who wrote a book. We'll talk to him. And then Eddie got into it with a kid at a gym.

So we'll talk about that. Fight, fight, fight. Yeah, just, you know, clarify. I didn't say. What else would you? Eddie got into it with a kid. It just sounds weird. I don't think got into it sounds weird.

I wouldn't have gone there with my head. Just clarifying, man. You just want to be very clear with the stuff. If I said Eddie wrestled with a kid in the gym, that would be weird. Or Eddie did some weird things with a kid, that would be weird. Or even Eddie punched a kid. That would be even worse. Got into it.

Got into it. Yeah, okay. Yeah. So that's coming up. Draft King Sportsbook, the number one sports book for live betting is built for March. The tournament is unexpected. Rewards are guaranteed.

Hello, gorgeous, it's Lala Kent, host of Untraditionally Lala. My days of filling up cups at Sir may be over, but I'm still loving life in the valley.

Live on the other side of the hill is giving grown-up vibes, but over here, here on my podcast, Untraditionally Lala, I'm still that Lala you either love or love to hate. I've been full on over sharing with fans, family, and former frenemies like Tom Schwartz. I had a little bone to pick with Schwarzy when he came on the pod. You don't feel bad that you told me I was a bootleg housewife? I almost flipped a pizza in your lap. Oh my God, I literally forgot about that until just now. Sorry, I don't want to blame alcohol.

I got to blame that one in the alcohol. This is about laughing and learning when life just keeps on life in. because I make mistakes so that you guys don't have to. We're growing, we're thriving, and yes, sometimes we're barely surviving, but we do it all with love. It's unruly, it's unawraid, it's Untraditionally Lala.

Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the Michael Tudor podcast network available on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Here's our talk with NBA Hall of Famer in Boston Celtics legend Robert Parrish, the chief.

That name was given him by Cedric Maxwell. for his quiet and stoic demeanor during his playing days. Four-time NBA champion, nine-time All-Star, a big part of the Celtics long dynasty run in the 80s. He's got a new book called The Chief, The Story of the Boston Celtics Most Enigmatic icon, which you can purchase on Amazon. If you're a Chief fan, or I guess you could also be a Celtics fan.

I can say Chiefs fan. Big thanks to Robert Parrish for coming all with us. He's 72 years old and tall. Very tall. Yeah. And he won a championship with the Bulls. Yeah. Which is crazy.

you forget about that. Yeah, you don't think about that. He played with Bird and Michael Jordan. He won a championship. Crazy. Here he is. Robert Parrish. My first question is,

like I know you for not saying much. So how tough was it to write a book where you had to say everything? Actually, it was quite easy. As I've said before, more open, more accessible, better listener.

So I feel like because of the transformation or the growth, whatever you want to call it, I feel like it was a good time to do about to let my fans and my haters know that I do have personality. I do smile. I do tell jokes. I do talking out of trash. So just get him a look through their window and who and what I am, not just an athlete. Something that I did not know is that you were drafted by Golden State.

I can see you playing with the Celtics, but I didn't know you were drafted by Golden State. So you played with them for a few years. What was it, like personally, what did it feel like to be traded? I took it as an insult initially because we were in the midst of doing a new contract. We were in contract negotiations, so I thought I was going in the process, getting an extension from the Warriors. And then when we was two days away from finalizing the deal, I get a call from the Warriors, the general manager, saying that I had been traded. And so my first instinct was I'm going to a city that reminds me of the South segregation

and playing with an overrated white boy. And I was wrong on both fronts. No question. Growing up in Louisiana, then you're in California, like Boston, to me growing up in the South, I grew up in Arkansas, first time ever went to Boston or New York, it was like a culture shock to me. Like to you, when you go to Boston,

what was it like for you the first time? Because I don't know. Very warm reception. The executives, ownership, fans were very gracious, very warm, receptive initially. Getting back on my perception that I had of Boston. Boston coming in, the perception is for worse than reality. I have never experienced any type of rejection, any type of prejudice.

It's just been all love for me. Now, don't get me wrong, I know prejudice and racism is in every city. So I'm not going to say Boston does not have its flaws. Every city does. I'm just saying I was not exposed to it. That's all I'm saying. And to piggyback on what I'm saying about that old rated white boy, was I ever wrong? If anything, he's underreedy, in my opinion, anyway.

Yeah, what was it like? What was Larry like? I got a Larry ball that sits behind me here too. What was Larry like as a dude? Cool. Cool, brother. No question about it. You got to get to know him, though.

If you don't know him, he gives off that vibe. leaving me alone. I don't want to be bothered. But if you get to know him, if he let you in to his inner circle, funny, I always talking trash as he's legendary, lead known for,

and I have the sense of humor, easy to get along with. I like his leadership style. He's not aggressive with his leadership. He leads by example, and he's not the vocal type leader, which I think long-term works best because if you are confrontational and gets in people's face, after a while, they ignore you

and what you're saying becomes background noise. So all around, I have no complaints about my time with Larry and the Boston Celtics. It's been all good. Whenever you sat down and you started writing the book, was there a part of your life that you wanted to share, that it was important for you to share because you didn't think people quite understood this part of your story? The people part. I know that I have these tendencies or peculiarities, whatever you want to call them. I know I give off that vibe as being distant and dismissive.

And I know that's one of the best probably the main reason why my relationship with the Boston media is, what would be the word? Fragile. And that's mainly because of me. Nothing that the Boston media did or said, I'm really not a people person. I prefer my own company. And I know I made their job difficult because I pretty much I avoided them as much as I could. And that made their job more difficult. Whenever you were coming up as a kid, you didn't play basketball until a little later than most kids.

Did someone discover you as an athlete and go, hey, we need to put you in basketball? and how quickly did you adapt to actually being good at basketball? Well, I would say I've discovered as an athlete. I was discovered as a tall person. Because I certainly was not an athlete by any stretch of the imagination. My junior high school coach, Coleman kid, pursued me, encouraged me, always with the positivity, especially, I just started playing organized basketball

until the seventh grade. And it showed growing up my siblings and my neighbors, friends. We played baseball, football, soccer. We've raised, ran track. We never played basketball. So it was very humbling, awkward time in my life. Because athletics came naturally to me, except for basketball,

was not a good showing, a good start. My first two years, I feel like I was wasting my time. But my coach at the time, Coach Kidd told me to stay with it. You were that tall for a reason. And I used to tell him, yeah, I'm this tall for a reason because my parents are tall. There's all the reason I can think of. Certainly not because they have the legs.

No question. At what point did basketball start to feel easier to you? One day, ninth grade, before, I'll give you a little context here. Before school started, the 8 o'clock bell rang, we used to have morning and streamages every morning. And so I never showed any promise. never showed any possibilities of getting better. I only thing I was doing just getting cardio, running up down the floor.

That's all that I was able to do. And then maybe the third game into my ninth grade, that third season, I caught the basketball. Don't ask me how I caught it, but I can never catch it before. So for me, there was a turning point. My number junior high school was double zero, and my teammates and the student body used to call me double nothing. And it was appropriate because I didn't have any idea what to do it with the basketball until the next grade.

And then for some reason, it just all came together. All that hard work, all that sacrifice, all that encouragement from Coach Key, pay it off. Our family rewarded for the effort. We have a guy in the show that is a massive Celtics fan, like die hard. And so I wanted to bring him in to ask you a couple questions.

This is Kevin. Yeah, how you doing, Mr. Parrish or Chief? Can I call you Chief? Either one. All right, I appreciate that. Thanks for coming on. You were part of the 80s Celtics Lakers rivalry that I wasn't around to see him. My dad still talks about till this day and people say it brought

basketball back, the NBA back. was that like playing in that rivalry just for 10 straight years basically playing each other all the time in the finals you guys getting the best of them what was that like it was uh rewarding it was uh educational um i would have to say they had uh tremendous influence and they definitely had our attention because i know they paid attention to what we was doing who we was playing how bad we beat them and we didn't really do that we did it. the same thing with the

Lakers. We follow them. We pay attention to them because they pretty much mirrored the way we go about

our business. We play hard. We play together. We play smart. And that's the way the Lakers played and approached the game also.

So I think Larry Magic had a lot to do with the intensity of the robbery. I'm going to go back a little

further. Russell Chamber started that Laker Celtic robbery in my opinion and then Larry and Magic in college

and that continued on to the pros so that just intensified that robbery because of the competitive nature of those players

so I always feel like it was great not only for the Lakers and the Celtics but for the fans and the NBA because we play some of the best basketball

at that time. And what about rivalries in general back then? We see all the clips of the fights, you, Lambert, everybody going out of it. Was that real or was that like a competitive thing on the court? Did you guys actually hate each other? They hated too strong of a word. Real?

Hell, they disliked them. We didn't like one another. I think it's safe to say that. But certain, Detroit was the up-and-coming team in the East. our biggest rival in the East were the 76ers, Dr.

Jay and Tormone and Cheeks and Bobby Jones and Dawkins and those guys. And then Larry and Doctor, who's the best player in the East? They were both scribing and

competing for dominance and the best be number one. And then that robbery absolutely. when the 76ers got Moses Malone. I think the rivalry intensified, made both sides more competitive,

must watch basketball, in my opinion, every time those two teams met. So it was great for the NBA, great for the Celtics, 76s. And I must say, having Moses in these, help make all of us better. Because we had to get better to get past the Sixers.

And what about this year? I saw you got the game recently. The Celtics just closed a playoff spot and big surprise for everybody, especially the fans. What do you think? Is it Missoula? Is it Jalen Brown this year

that they were able to outperform what the expectations were? It starts upstairs. Brad Stevens, the architect. That's where it starts. And then trickle down to the coach, Joe Missoula. I think the mentality and the mindset. And also you got to get the players credit for buying into Coach Missoula's philosophy.

They kind of mirror the Celtics of the 80s in this regard. They play hard, they play smart, and they play together. And unfortunately that Tatum got hurt. He went down with an injury. But I think what that injury did, it made the current Celtics realize the benefits and the rewards are playing solid defense, consistent defense. And that's one of the reason why they won the championship

because they were playing their suffocating disruptive defense and they're back to those defensive tendencies. And I think it's one of the main reasons why you see a surprise because, in my opinion, I don't think the Celtic was starting over when they lost Tatum. They just reloaded. Guys that stepped up, white, pretty, and company just stepped up along with Jaylon Brown.

They all stepped up and picked up the board that were left by Jason Taylor since he is their best player. You played for 21 seasons. How did you stay healthy for 21 seasons? A big healthy dose of luck, first of all. Anatomy played a play the part, genetics rather, and stretching. I took the martial arts. We stretched for a hour before we did any type of defensive moves

and poses and tactics. Also, I took the yoga that helped tremendously also because as you get older, you get tighter, stiffer. And we all know that athletic is a perishable skill when you start to lose it, you don't run its tag, you don't jump as high, you're not as mobile.

That's when the flexibility plays a major role. And I think all of those factors is the main reason why I avoided any significant injury. Because if you don't have a significant injury and you take care of yourself

and that's still an appetite for your services, you can play for a long time. Hope everybody checks out the book, The Chief, the story of the Boston Celtics most enigmatic icon. We're big fans. Mr. Robert Parrish,

thank you so much for the time. I hope the book is such a success and thank you for spending a few minutes with us here today. Thank you guys for your time and your patience and continued success to all of you. Every March, the tournament delivers the unexpected. This year, Draft King's Sportsbook is leaning

So my son came to me, one of my boys, and he was like, hey, Dad, somebody, and he had tears in his eyes. Like, somebody stole my basketball. These two boys in the hallway, they picked me up. Like, I don't know what's going on. So, hey, Papa Bear stepped up. So I'm like, show me these kids. And we walked out of the hallway.

He said, that one right there, Dad. So I walk up to the kid. I got puffy chest and everything. Say, hey, where's my ball? He said, what ball? You know what ball I'm talking about? He got lippy with you? Yes.

I go, give him my. my ball and he goes, oh, that ball. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes, sir, yes, sir. And he goes back and gets the ball. And I was like, and pick on someone your own size. Oh, you hit him with that. Oh, you told him, dude. The fear in his eyes when I said that was, he was just like, yes, sir, yes, sir. What would you have done if he had punched you? Oh, it's tough. I didn't think about that because immediately, like, fight back. No, man, this kid was probably 13, maybe 14. I probably just would have held him. You know, how you do like the hold his head while he's trying to like punch your gut or something yeah something

like that so you got the ball back got the ball back did the kid learn his lesson so i kind of saw them i mean this was like early in the day so i saw them later kind of just staring at me like three of them like oh are they going to jump me in the parking lot here we go bunch of 13 year olds open your butt so there was a little bit of fear in me like oh man they're like gathering the troops and they're going to attack me in the parking lot but nah never happened but we're good we got the ball back And I told my son, like, stop going to the concession stand or the hallway and messing with other boys. Like, you're alone. If you got five of your friends, do whatever you want.

That's fine. But by yourself, dribbling the basketball in the hallway in a different city, we don't even know where we are, who these kids are. It's going to happen. So don't do that. Did you watch UFC this weekend? Crazy. UFC was crazy. Macy Barber, oh my gosh.

She got punched. And, dude, I thought she died. I've watched UFC for many years. I've never seen someone like this before. Like she was out. Her eyes were motionless. Her body was not moving for like three minutes straight. Did they stop it immediately?

Or did the person keep pounding and the ref was just trying to decide when she was out? Yes. That's always a weird thing where the refs got to make a judgment call because sometimes they're pounding and they're out or they're not quite out, but it's borderline. These fighters are trained to like don't stop until the ref says it's over. Like, because it might not be over. So, yeah. So I think her name was Alexa Grasso. She punches her, knocks her out, but then she gets around her and starts choking her,

like a chokehold. And she does it for like a good, you know, three seconds until the rest. Like, she's out. She's out. Get over. And, man, like, I really thought she was dead. Everyone did. My kids were in the kitchen, you know, doing something.

They look over. And one of my boys like, dad, is she okay? I'm like, I really don't know. but she got up eventually. They hang on watching it. Is it bad? Yeah, it's pretty bad. And then not to make fun of it, but you know when they get up and they start like wrestling

the ref? Because I think it's still going on. She starts like taking the rest of it. She's out of it. She's so out of it. She grabbed the refs leg, like just kind of like almost like she's wrestling. Like Kevin said, wrestling the ref. I saw a funny clip on TikTok.

Speaking of kids basketball, there's a sound that people play when people are shooting a basketball. And it's a guy going, that's my man. Have you guys seen this? Yes. Okay. So a kid was doing this to his friend, but he wasn't using the sound that people use. He was doing it himself.

Is this saying it? Yes. The kid's probably 10 years old. And the kid is recording his friend shoot the shot, the free throw. It's like a Saturday 10-year-old game. That's where I'm at usually. And he goes, that's my man. And the kid misses.

He's 10. And the kid looks over and puts double birds up and goes, shut the F up. And the ref goes, What? No! That's awesome, dude. I laughed out. I'm telling you, when I was telling you about those AAU fights, like the kid that threw the bird to the man that whistled,

he was probably nine years old to see a nine-year-old flip a man off is hilarious. That's my man. Dang. We're done. Thank you all for being here. Hit us with that whistle. And then we will see you guys. later on this week.

I got you, man. It's a different whistle once we're in this studio. I know. Because Mike's got the whistle in the other studio. Eddie's got the whistle in this studio.

And I was a lifeguard for many years, so my whistle's very like, hey, danger in the pool whistle. Hey, nobody blows as naturally as you do. You know what I'm saying? All right, here we go. All right, we'll see you guys later on this week.
