All right, I've got the working phones today. Let's start out with a guy who I heard last week on the Lakers Postgame show.

Walrus is an Encino. Walrish. You're on sports graffiti. What are you doing, man? Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I'm on my, uh, my lunch break here at school. So I got a Lakers thing and I got a five easy pieces film, uh, Jack Nicholson's a great one. So the Lakers, the Luke Conard, man, man, that guy needs to get signed. That needs to be a top priority for this team. He is the perfect third guard off the bench for this team. And John, I'd be curious to know if you've ever seen anyone this late in their career showcased skills that they had not yet earlier in their NBA careers, ball handling, taking it to the rack.

Incredible. Real quick here, before you get me off, five easy pieces, all right? Okay. Do you remember this film? Do you remember the big thing made in the film about the chicken? Yes. On the sandwich. Yes. All right. So my grandfather made his memory be a blessing. He claimed, all right, and he was a trustworthy man, that that actually was his story, that he went like 10 years earlier to a place

like Chasen someplace, and he ordered iced tea, and they said, oh, I'm sorry, we don't have iced tea. And then he looked at the menu, he goes, but you do have hot tea, right? And they go, yeah, yeah, yeah, we have hot tea. Yeah. And he shared that story around and around for 10 years. He worked in Hollywood, and he's pretty sure that's how it made. And that's all the great day. Go Lakers. All right, thanks, Wallace. So we interviewed Duke Knaard after the game last night. And the first thing I asked him was, have you just been misused your entire career? I mean, you seem completely comfortable in this role of running the point and playing defense.

And he said, I'm just really confident.

He had those two, I think he had two times last night where he ran that slight hesitation and then went to the rack.

And everybody was good.

The defense totally scrambled on.

One of the Lakers' assistants is a guy named Bo Lovask.

And he's going to be a head coach

one day great guy and he used to work for the clippers yep so when bo got a job with us last year

i introduced myself to him and i go i'm going to ask your question i go when you were with the clippers

did you work with luke canardi goes every day i was i was his guy And I said, explain to me why he's not more in demand. He shoots 50% from three in a league that's moving towards threes. And on a team like ours, he'd be perfect. And Bo goes, I have no idea, but I already told Rob we should go get him. Yeah. And so I saw Rob later that day. I told Rob that story. I said, go get Luke Canard.

He goes, I've always liked him.

Yep.

And, you know, because Rob, even though he went to Michigan, I think went to law school at Duke. Oh, did he? Okay. So he knows he's got a good connection with Coach Kay and Conard played for Coach Kay. And I just need to the perfect Laker. Yeah. I hope he doesn't price himself out.

Yeah, right.

I mean, it's going to be a puzzle to put it together salary-wise under the cap this summer, but, man, I want him to be part of it. Let's go to Steve in North Hollywood. Steve, you're on sports graffiti. What are you doing, man? Hey, good afternoon. Good afternoon. Hey, really quickly on that topic, the Lakers, yes, you have to bring back loose.
