Jane Matt and Air, Greg Buck, Calvin Beaconoff coming to you live from our home at Radio Park in Racine.

We're moving things around just a little bit.
changing the lineup, but it is Thursday.
He would normally join us a little bit later, but we're going to talk anyway, all things sports with the ACME Packing Company sports guru Paul Newman.
Good morning, Paul.
How are you?
Well, let's talk everyone off the ledge or not about Yanis and will he stay or will he go?
I mean, what's what's going on with Yanis?
Where are we today?
Yanis watch Yanis watch
We've definitely definitely entered the Aaron Rodgers portion of Yanis's career as a buck and I think We so this is all rumor and innuendo a lot of rumors are out there So just to cover the rumors the rumors are that Yanis has scraped his social media of all but two pictures of him as a buck them being from the championship era
A lot of guys do this before they demand a trade that he suffered an injury last night that we don't know what it is yet.
He had an MRI.
It was non-contact.
They've ruled out an Achilles, which is good.
If it's anything serious, he's not going to get traded.
If it is not serious, then maybe he's still on the table.
And there is some reporting out there that he has already asked for a trade specifically from the Knicks.
The Bucks deny this.
Doc Rivers denies this.
But who knows?
It's also very possible that Yanis would just not publicly ever demand a trade, but would kind of imply that maybe things are wrapping up a little bit here.
Maybe OK with that.
Yeah.
And so the reason that this is all coming to the fore right now is, first of all, the bucks are not in a good space in terms of where they rank in the Eastern Conference.
They're 10th.
They've been terrible without Yanis.
It doesn't look like the roster is very good.
And up until this year, the Bucks have had ammunition to add around Yanis.
Sometimes it's worked, sometimes it hasn't, like with Damien and Lillard, but they've been able to do something.
At this point, they are tapped out.
They signed Miles Turner in the offseason.
They're up against the cap.
They don't have any draft picks left to trade.
They can't just throw money at anybody.
And I think to any neutral observer,
it really looks like the bucks are kind of not contenders anymore and won't be for the foreseeable future.
And, you know, it's hard to ask a star to stick around for mediocrity for any length of time, you know, unless you're LeBron James, you can't play forever.
And at some point, they almost all demand out.
There's also nothing the national media likes more than wish-casting Yanis out of Milwaukee.
And so we should take all of this with a grain of salt there too.
Shams Jarnia has had this rumor a zillion times at this point.
So no one really knows, but I think it is factually true that there's a good chance the era of the Bucks competing for a title with Yanis is probably over.
There's just not a lot that they can bring to the table at this point.
And so if he does ask for a trade or I get shipped off, I don't think it'll be that surprising.
I want to pull Calvin right into this conversation because
about this yesterday when the the the social media story quote-unquote broke And yeah, then we heard reports after the fact so Calvin you had some thoughts before yesterday and today What are your thoughts knowing now what you know?
Look he started with look folks.
All right.
He very well might be traded if that happens I will
say, okay, it was always a possibility.
That being said, when he's still on the team after the All-Star break, I think we need to evaluate how the media covers Yanis.
Now, this might be leaking into nostalgia a little bit.
I don't think Shams does have a pretty good record.
He's accurate a lot of the times.
I've preferred Adrian Wojcanski, his predecessor, I think was a better journalist.
I think Shams kind of, he goes for the sensationalism a lot.
He goes for like, what's gonna get clicks?
And that's just kind of the modern media.
So I don't trust anonymous sources, especially coming from him.
Shams is definitely in it for the clicks and more than doing, there's no good, even anonymous sources on this too, perfectly honest.
It is all just speculation.
So, and this is not the first time people have wanted to have Janus trade scenarios pop up for sure.
I would just say like, at some points they're gonna be right.
Every year that goes on, they get more likely to be correct.
This is his age 31 season.
He is not a young man.
People don't age like LeBron either.
Every year that goes by, he becomes a less valuable asset for the Bucks.
And if they don't look like they're going to be able to compete for the next three or four years, it gets more likely.
So he has a decent record.
I just think this season it seems like it might be possible.
If they don't turn things around, and I kind of don't think they will,
I won't be surprised.
If I had to put money on it right now, by the way, don't bet on sports.
But if I had to put money on it right now, I would actually bet he is traded this year.
That would be where my money is.
It's high value for the bucks.
They don't appear to be very good.
And he's not going to get more valuable as time goes on.
If you're just joining us on Matt and air on air on the civic media radio network, we're talking to Paul Noonan, who is a writer for the Acme packing company, comes by every other Thursday.
And we are talking about the extended
wider rumors of a traded Giannis from the Milwaukee Brooks.
And as a non basketball like follower as a basketball non follower, I don't know how you say that, but the point is I want to take a 30,000 foot view from this since 2021.
Why is it been that, and this might be an easy answer for you to give, but like, it feels like, you know, we won a world championship.
How, why is it that, you know, whether it's Damien Lillard, all these
moves we've made that have made people so excited.
The bucks have just seemed to stumble and bumble every single season, not performing up to expectations.
And it just feels like, I don't know, like I, if I'm honest, I think I'm looking too, because it just, every season it's the same.
Like we're, we're starting
strong.
And then we just,
and, and it's just never, it's, it's not even like bad.
It's not even, you know, oh my God, this was a, a miserable in the bottom of the, of the barrel bucks.
It's just not up to par.
Why do you think that is with all these big moves they've made over the years?
Well, a lot of it is all the big moves they've made over the years on the way that you should compete in the NBA You need stars for sure.
You need a couple of them to actually win a lot of this goes back to Chris Middleton just breaking down and Not being able to count on him to be that second star like
It goes back to what they had to give up to get Lillard and the fact that he was already Not washed but prone to be injured as well But the Bucks front office should take a lot of heat for this because
The NBA actually is set up the best of all leagues for small markets to keep their stars.
If you have a hard salary cap, it's very difficult.
Players, if they can only make a certain amount of money, tend to like to live in New York and Los Angeles in places that aren't Milwaukee.
And the NBA actually allows exceptions to pay your stars more than anybody else can, to allow small markets to outbid Los Angeles and New York.
When this happens, when you run out of talent around a guy, it's because you made incorrect moves.
You made incorrect bets on trying to replace or at least supplement Middleton with Lillard on throwing picks and big money after guys that are just okay.
The Middleton-Kuzma trade looks terrible in retrospect.
Even though Chris is probably kind of washed as well, you're not going to win with Kuzma.
He's not the part of that.
They just stack these up year after year trying to chase a guy, trying to get hot with another star of some kind.
And it's cost them every first round pick they have for years and years and years.
It's cost them every ounce of cat flexibility they have.
And not every team gets this wrong, they have gotten it wrong.
So that's why the bumbling happened.
Once Middleton started to break down, it set off a chain reaction of them trying to replace him.
every way possible with older guys, with broken guys, with young guys who aren't as good as they thought.
And this is where we find ourselves now.
Man, Kevin, we'll go to you in just a second.
I feel badly, and I understand that 31 for a professional athlete is getting old, but I feel like they sound like cars.
You drive it off the lot and you've already lost money.
It's like, that's really kind of a shame.
Calvin.
Yeah, I guess.
I will acknowledge the Bucks have had disappointing seasons and they have not always performed to what they should have, but I would like to put a little bit of perspective around like who wins NBA championships.
There is more parody in the NBA right now than probably any other professional sports league except maybe the NFL.
In the last seven years,
12 different teams have gone to the NBA finals and seven different teams have won the NBA championship.
It's not like the bucks are like, can't compete with dynasties.
A new team is showing up every year.
Well, and I'm not, and I'm not like that visit.
My point is not to say that the bucks are bad or it just, from a non spectator perspective,
usually there's a there's some kind of like you know all right they won this championship they're gonna do they usually do well or there's some sort of momentum that happens but it just seems like every time I see a big headline coming out from the box is a huge trade people get really excited it never seems to pan out even past a season let alone producing
a run in the playoffs, which is, I believe a Doc Rivers problem that has been discussed, but also it does not produce rings.
So it's, it's, it's me more trying to understand and the NBA is like, I mean, there's so much happening.
And, and you guys have all, you guys have said, along with JR, it's like nothing really matters until after the all-star.
And it doesn't really even matter that until the playoffs.
So
we only have a couple of minutes left.
Paul, I just real briefly, do the bears still suck or not?
It pains me to report.
So they're not this good.
We have a lot of ways to tell, like, how good a football team really is versus their record.
They're over their skis by about three games.
They've gotten lucky.
They're six in one and one score games.
Their schedule has been pretty easy.
And normally, I would say that that team is a little bit of a fraud.
However, the Bears have, I think, really improved in a couple of ways.
Their run game, in particular, an offensive line, is loads better than it was last year.
And they've gotten healthy.
They got Jalen Johnson back at cornerback last week.
He is not only their best defensive player, but one of the best defensive players in football.
They've been a slightly below average defense without him.
They are probably a pretty well above average defense with him.
They got back a few other secondary members as well.
They're not a perfect team.
The Packers should still win this game.
They're close enough.
They're close enough in terms of talent that it's not, it is by no means a sure thing.
If the Bears jumped up and got them, I wouldn't be surprised.
I think the game I would look to if I was the Packers is actually they're lost to Carolina where they lost to a team that also has a short quarterback like Caleb Williams also runs the ball exceptionally well and can't really pass that well.
And they got run over by Rico Doudal for like a hundred something yards and ended up losing that game.
the Bears should probably copy that.
And there's a good chance they will because Ben Johnson, their head coach, is very smart.
He has had the Packers number a little bit when he was the offensive coordinator for the Lions.
Paul Nunin is the sports guru for the Acme packing company.
You can follow him there.
Thank you so very much, Paul.
Really appreciate it.
Go pack.
See what happens when we return.
Say goodbye to an east side Milwaukee institution.
Stay close.
You are
listening to Matt Nair on air.
This is the Civic Media Radio Network.
Good morning and welcome back to Matt Nair on Air.
Jane Matt Nair, Greg Bach, Dr. Slide on the Board, coming to you from our home at Radio Park in Racine.
You can join us, call or text.
The number is the same.
855-752-4842.
Leave a comment if you're watching on the live stream.
Good morning, live stream.
On Facebook, YouTube, and what used to be Twitter coming up after the 1030 News, part of our management leadership team here at Civic Media, Aaron Carino
join us for a little audio sorbet.
And a pal that goes back.
We go back a long way.
Aaron was an intern for me.
Oh my gosh.
at a previous radio station back in my day back in the olden days gosh i hope i was nice to him
i think you will find out based on the stories you've told about past partners you at the very least you were the
nice one
Hopefully it was a nice herd.
There you go.
That would be good.
Aaron Carreno joining us after 10.30.
Why not just spend a little time about this?
This makes me sad.
Yeah.
And I know for a lot of east-siders on the east side of Milwaukee, very sad about this.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Rachel Bernhard.
After 52 years, Beans and Barley is closing on Milwaukee's east side.
It has been there forever.
Beans and barley on the east side of Milwaukee since 1973 really started off as just a deli apparently and then went into more groceries and lots of prepared foods and then they started offering
You and Bridget used to go there.
We
used to go there every, it goes to show our age.
We used to go there like every Saturday or Sunday for brunch.
And then when the wait became too long, we just get there when they opened to have breakfast.
Cause we didn't want to wait in line and we wanted to booth.
But yeah, actually it's weird.
As you say that I'm thinking like to me, beans and barley, I immediately think restaurant, but then I'm like, no, there's a caught a cat.
There's a diner.
Table for coffee.
There's a deli that you can get me.
There's groceries there You can buy knickknacks and stuff like there's
yeah, I understand they have a great card really cards and really So there's a
lot going on in there and that's gonna be really really that's a shame
It is a shame closing the building that beans and barley is in has been sold it listed for 2.2 million dollars and One of the people with beans and barley says we just aren't in a position to buy it
Unfortunately.
And so it remains to be seen what's going to happen there, but beans and barley currently employ 70 people.
I'm hoping that maybe new location, something, something, something.
Something.
You know,
I mean, I'm not, I'm not asking for the whole kitten caboodle, but.
it would be nice to, I mean, the food there was really good.
And I'm hoping that there's something, but I don't know nowadays.
It's just, it feels like everyone, you know, what, you know, we've talked about it from the political end, the COVID is still having an impact, the shutdown is still having an impact.
I say
the lockdown.
The lockdown, yeah.
I mean, that's not a small thing.
We're only a couple of years out from that.
And again, I think we have collective amnesia when it comes to the COVID years.
Absolutely, absolutely.
And a lot of restaurants still,
Fighting their way back from them beans and barley just one of many east side restaurants around North Avenue to shut down in recent months Back in May the crossroads collective food hall shut down in July an Italian restaurant closed also Izzy hops closed in October in octa in August triple tap room announced its closure there the current
People who own beans and barley say they hope their customers will come in.
They're going to be open until the end of January.
Okay.
And yet again, it remains to be seen what's going to go into that space.
There's really no other grocery option is there, except there's a whole food, but not everyone can shop at Whole
Foods.
Well, I'm not disparaging those.
Beans and barley wasn't exactly the most inexpensive place to shop at.
It was an independent small grocery store.
And
there is a level of wealth in that neighborhood.
And at least there is, there are options for a grocery store for something there for the people in that area.
But yeah, I mean, it's a, it's a, it's a, I don't know.
It's a, I don't wanna say it's not a landmark, but it's just a, it was a thing that was, people went there all the time.
It was always busy when I
went.
And a really kind of a center of the community, that little East side community.
I'm very much a community meeting space.
It's very much a,
thing not a thing of the past but as North Avenue has changed over the years and restaurants have changed and closed down and The BBC was once there now.
It's a brewing.
It's a brewing company and they're building more housing It was just it's it's sad.
I'll be interested to see what's gonna go in its place Yeah, me too.
I'm hoping there's something that's serviceable to the community, but you never know and there's also an entire Bar bar thing underground too.
So it's a big bill
nine below is in the base.
Yeah,
yeah
Yeah.
The people who run Beans and Barley own Beans and Barley, they're just urging folks to support small businesses.
Yes.
Restaurants, retailers, performing arts, anything that you can do.
They need
the help.
Put your dollars in the community.
They stay in the community.
You're investing, and that's really all.
That's all we can ask, but it just shows that when you...
When you patronize small business it helps everyone
absolutely Jenny on the live stream seeing that restaurants are one of the riskiest business opportunities to take and typically shut down within a year 40 plus years of beans and barley
is something to be celebrated.
No doubt about it.
again, stop in if you're in around Milwaukee's East Side.
I want to do that.
Stop in Beans of Barley.
They're going to be open now until the end of January.
Biscuits and gravy.
Oh, biscuits.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
News is coming up next.
And then Aaron Carino with Civic Media's leadership team will be here.
Stay close.
You are listening to Matt and Aaron here.
This is the Civic Media Radio Network.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to Matt Nair on air, Jane Matt Nair, Greg Bach, even though you can't see him.
Hi.
Calvinator on the board coming to you from her home at Radio Park in Racine.
You can join us, call or text at 855-752-4842.
You can also leave a comment if you're watching on the live stream on Facebook, YouTube, and what used to be Twitter.
This is the portion of the show that we call Audio Sorbet, where we get away from the news and take a breath, lighten things up.
Little cleansing.
We clean your ears with fun.
Thank you, Greg.
My last show on the air is a week from tomorrow December 12th, so we're switching things up a little bit We're gonna have special guests for the rest of this week and next week and Joining us now live in studio part of Civic Media's management team Aaron Correno is here.
Good to see you
It is really good to see you.
And it's really good to be back here in Milwaukee and Racine and back in like my hometown.
Yeah.
Right.
This
is where you started out.
Sure is.
We go back a very, very, very long way.
I
think there's a question which needs to be asked because we've been talking about it during the show.
Now, as I've been made aware, Aaron, you were this, Jane was like the first person you worked with.
Like you were an intern.
Yes, so one day.
Mm-hmm.
I'm a UWM student I was continuing my education at UWM and I'm driving around that the hail interchange and I called the mix and I got an internship because someone happened to be in the studio on a Saturday Wow, and his name was Tony.
He's like, hey, come on in
the
morning Tony Lorena Because you could be an intern on the morning show come on in is that how things just work back and so I walked in and it was one
It's surreal because I grew up in Sheboygan County and I grew up listening to Milwaukee Radio my whole life.
I grew up listening to every station you can imagine.
I was one of those.
I knew probably, I didn't know that I would do this for a living, but Jane, you were one of those people that I had just admired as a young, who knew
I would
walking in the door and knowing that I was going to be interning on your show,
Well, it's kind of intimidating to be honest with you, but that's how it all started.
2008?
Was it 2008?
Yeah, 2008.
Wow.
And
the question that's been asked, or the hope that Jane has in her heart, she hopes that she was nice to you.
I hope I wasn't mean to you.
Oh, you're my
favorite.
He has to say that because he's sitting across the table for
me.
You're not going to be pushed around by any of these people here.
You were very, very kind to me.
And although it was a long time ago, I was just so excited just to have the chance to do something.
That's really sweet of you.
That's really sweet.
I just remember because I had a lot of partners when I was at the mix.
I had nine.
And I actually had to write them down the other day, so I would get them in the right order, because some of them- Oh, I'll write a song for her, just like a, all of Jane's part.
Yeah, some of them only lasted a couple months.
But, so you came in at the very end.
If you came in at 2008, they let me go in 2009.
Well, so I came in as an intern, and then there were, what was the financial crisis?
Shortly thereafter,
and they
laid a lot of people off in the business, and
was one wondering if I would even have a chance to do this for a living.
But then they needed somebody to really kind of produce the show with you.
And so I got an hourly rate and that was my first real paycheck.
I think I made $21.50 on my first pay period.
Nice.
But it was something.
And you had me go out to Water Street on St.
Patrick's Day or I was getting audio and I was doing all the intern things.
Well, you send them, you send them out.
Go do this thing, go cover this thing.
We need sound from here.
That's what you send.
That's why you have interns
as intern Aaron.
So it's fun intern Aaron.
That's how it all started.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then now we've come full circle and now you're we're back together at Civic Media.
And you are the one who had called me.
It's wild.
I have three distinct memories with Jane.
OK.
That I wanted to share and I'll share them quickly because I can be long winded.
The first one is.
Being able to be in the studio Helping work on your show was once surreal, but then too.
I'm like holy holy cats.
She created the pack arena That was like the
first well.
She
was partially responsible for
it I was part of the group that made the pack around
it wasn't just me I know no one's saying it was just you but you are just take it
that was like wow like this is really happening and then to it was
I had been working for another radio station.
After I'd been laid off in 2020, I kind of went on my own.
And I remember reaching out to you.
I think I sent you a text message and said, hey, I don't know what they're doing at Civic, but do you think there could be a benefit if I were to help out?
Right.
And we spoke for probably a good hour.
Easily.
And you convinced me to reach out to Sage, our CEO, and kind of the rest is history.
And now here he is.
You're creating all you're creating songs, you're creating memories, you're creating
job opportunities.
My goodness.
Did I not tell you to go into brain surgery?
Are you sure I didn't tell you to go into some other job?
I think you said careful what you wish for.
That sounds like something I would say.
The third memory I have was once I worked here and was offered a full-time role, which I'm still to this day incredibly grateful for.
I've had so much fun working here.
is we're at a holiday party.
And we're out on the patio.
It was late at night, we're out on the patio and we're just talking, catching up one on one.
And I said, I really would love for you to have your own show.
And we're talking through this, and there was a really feel-good conversation.
It was very late at night, and all of a sudden I looked to my left and there was sage.
And I
went, okay, conversation over,
we're done, time for bed.
Yeah, there had been several cocktails consumed by that point when we had had that conversation.
Yeah, I imagine, I imagine, yeah.
But yeah, and then it came to be.
If that was the same place I was at, I went to bed like an hour and a half before all of you did.
I was like, I had a piece of pizza, maybe half a drink.
I went, well, I'm tired.
I'm going back to the hotel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We were just out there hanging out.
And I was like, one of them is partial part of me was like, why are you, why is he awake right now?
He should be away from all of this.
I was, but it's really great to one.
I appreciate you bringing me on as a guest here for
this segment.
We're just so
grateful for all that you've done and for you to go out and do whatever you want to do.
I'm kind of selfishly hoping that when Jane retires, you're reimagined as, you know, everybody when you were growing up had that favorite substitute teacher that would come in and everybody loved it.
When can you start becoming a substitute teacher
for
us?
Hey, I'm available anytime.
I'm
retiring.
What do I have to do?
Exactly.
I'll have nothing but time on my hands.
I am happy to come in and scold anytime.
My scolding is absolutely free.
Anybody needs an extra mom that you never asked for, I'm available.
Check my text
messages.
Trust me, she can
do it.
I
do it.
I do it because I worry about everybody.
Yeah.
It's just the way it
is.
It's really fun, though, for me to watch this happening.
Like, you know, I know you're retiring and sad, but it's also...
kind of joyous to watch us celebrate you and also meet the people who have been a part of your life for so long because for me personally you've been a voice and then I met you and then I work with you and people would be like oh my gosh you're working with Jane like yeah
Yeah.
And that's the one thing that's very, very fortunate for me.
So to see people like Aaron and all the guests we're going to have next week, just sharing those tidbits.
We'll talk more about the pack arena,
but
it's just really great to do this and, and, and let you go out in style.
Well, and I remain so grateful to Civic Media because again, for people who are not in this industry, for a woman of my age, because I'm, I'm 65.
I'm not a.
If I work out of cheese, my expiration date is not encouraging.
So for, it's true.
I don't know where you pulled that out of, but okay.
It's just true.
And so for them to have given me this opportunity, I remain so grateful, so grateful.
It just doesn't happen.
It really doesn't happen for an older woman to be given this opportunity.
When I go back home to Plymouth, because I grew up in Plymouth,
My mom has one of those old general electric radios that had the really obnoxious alarm from like 1989.
She still has that on in her kitchen.
If she has it on right now, hi mom.
Hope
you're listening.
Hey mom.
She goes over Thanksgiving.
I'm home and she goes, oh, it's so good to see you.
And she goes, why is Jane doing a live show on Thanksgiving?
So she's your number one fan.
Oh, sweet.
First and foremost, she's been listening to you for
for your entire career.
That's how I got to know you via radio.
And as I got into this business, so the follow-up conversation of Thanksgiving was, she goes, I just love Jane.
I said, well, that's great.
Mom, it's great.
I said, oh, I'm on in the afternoon.
I know she goes, I'm listening to Jane.
Oh, well, I love you, son.
But I don't, after 11, I've got to go to work.
Yeah.
I'm listening to Jane and was made very clear to me that.
I know where her priorities
are, and I know
where I stand.
So, Jane, you
are always welcome in our household.
That is so funny, Erin.
It is interesting, though, to think about how you were a kid when you started listening to me, and now people who were kids listening to me now have kids.
Who are listening to me?
It's it's it's cut.
It's really it's it's it's wild to think about that it is and then I'm still here and I'm still employed amazing I
I think it's great I think it's to be celebrated and you get and you're and you've said this before that you're you're going out on your terms you're retiring you're you're having you're getting there last lap if you will but

Calvin found this one from the Associated Press.
Charlotte Graham McClay with the byline and the headline reads, New Zealand man accused of eating Faberge Pendant inspired by Bond movie as police wait for evidence.
Police in New Zealand waiting for nature to take its course after a man allegedly tried to smuggle a 33,000 New Zealand dollar pendant out of a jewel restore by swallowing it.
I want to look up New Zealand dollar to the.
Yeah.
There you
go.
Yeah.
The 32 year old man not publicly named yet accused of swallowing this ornate fabricate.
Octopus pendant last month, evidence of the alleged theft has yet to emerge, according to police, quote, at the time of his arrest, he went underwent a medical assessment, an officer assigned to constantly monitor the man.
That is a rookie and he is in pain right now.
At this stage, the pendant has not been recovered.
The man was arrested just inside the store just moments after he swallowed the octopus.
The alleged pendant or the alleged loot, a limited edition of Fabergé egg pendant inspired by the Bond film Octopussy.
Central to the films plot a jewel smuggling operation involving a fake Fabergé egg.
The store's website says the egg, only 50 of which had been made,
is made out of gold, painted with green enamel with over 180 diamonds and sapphires.
It's in the shape of an octopus, people.
That's really hard to think about that.
And pass.
A
New Zealand accent is not exactly like an Australian accent.
There are little tidbits, they're like a little higher.
It's different.
I was in New Zealand.
It's different.
It's different.
It's different.
Yes.
It's not different, it's different.
It's
different, yes.
That's pretty good, actually.
Fabergeig, swallow.
Octopus?
Gross.
Absolutely
gross.
We gotta wait for that to drop.
Pass.
Pass.
Yes, well, and the waiting continues.
We'll let you know what the results are.
If and when that happens, you may want, I don't know.
Octopus, maybe a tennis ball size or shape would have been better.
I see problems with the octopus.
I can barely, like, if a piece of, like, turkey is too big, I'm like, nope, got you that a little bit more like a human.
I mean, just, I just imagine, that just sounds so Keystone cop fumbling comedy, like, gulp, and they swallow it, and there's big eyes, like, I couldn't, that is not even close to an option to me if I'm stealing something.
I'm gonna sooner just try to push through.
That's craziness.
It was a nice try.
It's going
to
hurt him.
Oh, yes.
It's going to do some damage.
Yes, it is.
That wraps up today's episode of This Shouldn't Be a Thing.
