Lonzo Ball
Hello, Tom Griswold.
Tom Griswold
Oh, hey. Oh, hi. Hi, Josh Arm. Hi, Tom Griswold over there at her desk. It's Christy Lee.
Chick McGee
Oh, hello, Tom Griswold.
Tom Griswold
And our guest, Joe.
Chick McGee
Yes. Didn't take your husband's name, huh?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yeah. Okay. Not that guy.
Tom Griswold
Well, I mean, let's, let's face it.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I, I, yeah. Every time you talk to me, I'm like, what is he gonna say?
Josh Arnold
You and your husband sit around and you see it and go, good Lord, how gay is that guy? Do you guys do that?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Oh, yeah. Have you met a gay guy? We're the judgiest species on the planet. You should see what I'm thinking about you.
Josh Arnold
Wait a minute.
Tom Griswold
Your last name is once again Dumbrowski and that's your maiden name.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Oh, Jesus.
Joe Dombrowski
Joe is laughing so hard. Not for the same reasons that you are.
Josh Arnold
Joe is laughing for all the right reasons.
Tom Griswold
I mean, is that, is that a thing?
Josh Arnold
Tom, I've said this before. You talk to some people come on the show, you talk to them like they're a penguin.
Tom Griswold
I've never spoke. I've never spoken to a rhinoceros that can speak. It's fascinating. No, Is that a thing in the gay community? Made it. I mean, is there, do people share the name? Do they do that?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Well, I think it depends on the individual. Like what you do with your first seven marriages. I Don't.
Tom Griswold
Attaboy, Joe. No, hey, that's a fair, fair question. I was just wondering because maybe you're thinking, wow, Dabowski's got a clunky.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Maybe.
Tom Griswold
Maybe I'll take my husband's nickel just to be a little more.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
It was a clunky. You should watch me play basketball before you made that judgment.
Josh Arnold
He'll take you to the. I was going to say whole, but.
Tom Griswold
We'Ve already covered that.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
We have a strict under 40 law in this house.
Tom Griswold
Let's see now we're kind of stalling here, do we?
Josh Arnold
We learned he fishes.
Joe Dombrowski
Yeah. Joe was just showing us photos. He caught a sturgeon, which is, you know, one of those prehistoric, gigantic, 400 pound.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
400 pound fish. It was incredible.
Joe Dombrowski
Yeah. That must have been a thrill.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I mean, pulling the next day. It was like a full workout trying to get that thing in the boat. It was insane. Super fun. We fish a lot in British Columbia, which is a treat of living in Seattle.
Joe Dombrowski
Yeah, that's great.
Tom Griswold
Did you ever fish when you lived in Michigan?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yeah, a lot. Quite a bit. We lived. When I went to school, I went to central Michigan, which is right on the Chippewa river, so it was very rainbow trout.
Chick McGee
Have you fly fish?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I have never fly fished, but I would love to have you.
Tom Griswold
No, that apparently is the hero, the heroin, the heroine of fishing.
Chick McGee
Oh, I have a girlfriend who. You start doing that all over the country. Yeah, Joshua.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Fly fishing.
Joe Dombrowski
No, no, no. Never have tried it.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Just dipping in there for crappy or what.
Joe Dombrowski
Mostly largemouth bass. Yeah.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Although after today's show, he was. He's been thinking about retiring and fishing a lot more and not having to sit next to me.
Joe Dombrowski
No, no, no.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
It was a rough moment.
Tom Griswold
I don't blame it.
Joe Dombrowski
No, it wasn't a rough moment. That's the thing. You can me that I'm having rough moments, then it becomes a rough moment.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
You see, I just love you. I do.
Tom Griswold
Prophecy. I'm not sure we're gonna. Our hookup is gonna hook up. So why don't we.
Josh Arnold
Why don't you and Ohio hook up? Nobody. Nobody saw that coming.
Chip McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I have a quick question.
Josh Arnold
Me and you.
Tom Griswold
I have a kind of a serious question.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Because you're raising your hand. This is not a.
Tom Griswold
No, I'm. I'm signaling to him. Ellen DeGeneres, I would always say, had the best produced show on tv. I thought it was so well done.
Josh Arnold
Well, she beat everyone.
Joe Dombrowski
That's why we find out now that she was.
Tom Griswold
She was in here and I Thought she was really nice and I thought she was very, very funny. I know you did her show a lot and I don't want to be trashing her, but I thought she was funny and I thought she was.
Joe Dombrowski
I think her stand up is still.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Fantastic and I know that she's timeless now.
Joe Dombrowski
Has she officially retired from stand up?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
No, you know, no. She just filmed. She's filmed two specials in England. Seattle.
Joe Dombrowski
Okay, good.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
She is in England currently. But you know, the funny thing about you saying that Tom too, that's probably one of the number one questions that I get on the road is like, how was Zelen? Was she really mean? It's not my lived experience. She was so cool to me every time I was on the show.
Tom Griswold
She was great when she was in here.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
But the best part about it is she really took me and like, made a moment when nobody else was around and she was like, I. She's like, you're a standup comic. I was like, thank you. I'm trying. She's like, I don't think you're hearing me. She goes, you're very, very funny. I think you should do something with that. And this is one of those moments where you look at someone who you've idolized for your entire life and this woman's lighting a fire under my ass. And then I left that show and I was like, I am gonna do it. Like, I do not care what people say. And it was just those quick words, so say what you want about her. Maybe she was mean to some people, that's fine. But she got my career going and I'll never not be thankful for that. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And yeah. It's like when I say to Josh, maybe you should retire and go fishing. It lights.
Joe Dombrowski
Oh, I didn't realize.
Josh Arnold
You see the analogy.
Joe Dombrowski
I realized he was encouraging me.
Tom Griswold
But I always thought her stand up was great.
Joe Dombrowski
Yes.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Whatever.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
People, incredible career people in this world.
Tom Griswold
They pick certain things that everybody has to collectively mock. We were talking like the band Nickelback. They've got some great songs. Calm down.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Isn't that wild? Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Or Dane Cook had some great stand up comedy. Everybody kind of picks. So here's the one we're gonna go after.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
You wanna take down who's on top? Right, Right. And here's the thing. Whatever. You get that big and you're not gonna be mean to somebody every once in a while to get what needs to be done.
Tom Griswold
How do you think I got this way?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yeah. I've been on the show.
Chick McGee
I think he gets it.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Cool. It.
Sean Casey
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
We are speaking with comedian and he is a comedian.
Chick McGee
He is Joe Domi financial services company. Klarna Depart is partnering with Door Dash.
Josh Arnold
Klarna?
Joe Dombrowski
Yeah. What is.
Chick McGee
What the hell is Klarna? L A R N A. Klarna.
Tom Griswold
This is. This story really bugs me.
Chick McGee
Okay, and then it's a buy now, pay later deal. They're going to offer you a payment plan for your food delivery, but for door. For Door Dash.
Josh Arnold
Hang on a second. I love this. I love it very much. You need talk to me some more.
Tom Griswold
How crappy is your credit if you've got to.
Josh Arnold
No, I don't think that's enough.
Tom Griswold
Payments for Taco Tico delivery.
Josh Arnold
That's the best. Yeah. You know how often I doordash they call me if I don't call them first? Every day.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I mean.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, you have to do it on payments.
Josh Arnold
Well, may. Well just.
Joe Dombrowski
Well, she hasn't finished the.
Chick McGee
I haven't finished the story, so maybe if you'd let me.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Oh, she got you. She took you down, collected you and put you back.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I would disagree, but is there more?
Chick McGee
Why don't you read it?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
No, no.
Tom Griswold
I don't even know what it is.
Chick McGee
No, no, no. Klarna said doordash customers are going to be able to pay in full at checkout, split payments into four equal interest free installments or defer to dates that align conveniently with their paydays.
Josh Arnold
So you talk about living paycheck to paycheck.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You got to get your layaway for your Chipotle. Come on.
Josh Arnold
Well, I can't have that. The big trip to New York. I got to pay off my Door Dash. Yeah.
Lonzo Ball
Good lord.
Tom Griswold
I mean, it's a chance. I mean, this. Well, I don't know. It just seems a little bit ridiculous, but I guess people will do it.
Chick McGee
Well, if there wasn't a need, there wouldn't be.
Tom Griswold
I'm guessing the interest rate is probably the same as those.
Chick McGee
It said interest free.
Tom Griswold
Those check places.
Josh Arnold
Oh, there's. They're making money somehow.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Oh, for sure.
Joe Dombrowski
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
No, Yeah. I don't know, it just seems really odd to me that you don't have enough cash to pay for your.
Josh Arnold
You don't. You don't doordash. You. You like to go pick up and you don't go through drive throughs. You like.
Tom Griswold
This is. This is a constant argument at house.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I bet I. I bet that's one of many. I bet it's not the only one.
Tom Griswold
I don't care to go through. Drive thru. But I do prefer to pick up. If we go out, I'll pick up food myself. Occasionally the girls will doordash. I don't like doing that.
Josh Arnold
Really?
Lonzo Ball
That's good.
Tom Griswold
Certain things aren't good. Sushi is never good unless you're in the, in the restaurant.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Oh, I hate, absolutely I hate.
Chick McGee
Oh, I like takeout sushi.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
No, no, don't ever E Coli like that again.
Tom Griswold
The rice is crappy and no, but.
Josh Arnold
I mean if I have a problem and I need cleaned out, I'll order some right out, baby.
Tom Griswold
I don't like drive throughs either. I'll go through them occasionally.
Chick McGee
Too convenient for you.
Josh Arnold
Not only will you go through them, okay, you'll get them mixed up. You'll try to order something, you'll think you're at one drive through but you were at another.
Tom Griswold
Oh, the best one was when I went to pick up my son's. It was a Burger King. I went, ordered, paid, drove off, got home, released, I didn't have the food, went back to the place, walked in and the manager said oh hey, aren't you Tom? And of course I said, no, I'm Bob, but thanks for the food.
Josh Arnold
That's exactly right.
Tom Griswold
Did you go to a Chick fil.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
A and order Panera?
Chick McGee
Yes, that's.
Tom Griswold
Those places look exactly the same and they're right next to each other.
Josh Arnold
Panera and Chick fil a look exactly the same.
Joe Dombrowski
Well, they are both loaded with milfs.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's true.
Joe Dombrowski
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And by the way, I just in ultra Chick Fil a has got the drive.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Different definitions of milf.
Tom Griswold
They've got the drive thru down.
Chick McGee
Yes, they do have the drive through down.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Now I, I is, is, is mentioning Chick fil a problematic?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
It can be.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Do you know the history behind. Well, let me tell you, it's my pleasure. I, it's deeply rooted.
Josh Arnold
I support you guys. But if you had the chicken nugget.
Tom Griswold
You guys.
Chick McGee
Oh my God.
Josh Arnold
Oh my God.
Tom Griswold
Sorry.
Joe Dombrowski
I do think you people should get over it.
Tom Griswold
I prefer when you say, when you say the fell.
Joe Dombrowski
Then you're eliminating those other gay types.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
What? Name the softball team while you're at it.
Joe Dombrowski
Well, some of them do roller derby.
Tom Griswold
That's true. Joe Dombrowski. Now speaking for all gay men, there.
Joe Dombrowski
Have to be some hilarious straight jokes like amongst gay people that we have no idea is going on. Right?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yeah.
Joe Dombrowski
Like oh, there's a bad guy here. Don't.
Josh Arnold
I don't think he's allowed to pass it along.
Tom Griswold
Let me ask you this have you ever done a show that is strictly for a gay audience? And if so, do you turn it up a little bit?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I was having fun.
Joe Dombrowski
Now, when you were 10 or 11 and chose to be gay.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I was having a good time.
Joe Dombrowski
I guess what I'm asking is one of my.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Let me tell you what. I'm gonna come to your house and pinch your oxygen cord every time I get it.
Tom Griswold
You'll trip over like there's several kids.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. And your days of the week pills, right, too?
Joe Dombrowski
One of my favorite jokes, my good friend, a lesbian friend, told me, and it's only. You have to know lesbians to get this joke.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I think, ooh, Tracy Chapman.
Joe Dombrowski
Which is. No, she said. She goes, what does a lesbian bring on a second D. Have you heard that?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
No.
Joe Dombrowski
A moving truck.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yeah. No, it's true.
Joe Dombrowski
Exactly.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
It's so true.
Joe Dombrowski
That joke is so funny in that. So I was wondering if there are straight jokes that we just don't hear that are shared among gay people.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
The first one I can think of is that shirt. But other than that.
Tom Griswold
Now, wait a second.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
What? I said, what? Do you have stock in Duluth Trading Company or. What is it?
Tom Griswold
Carhartt?
Joe Dombrowski
Thank you very much.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Even better. God, we love it. We love it.
Joe Dombrowski
You don't like this shirt?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
It's wonderful for you.
Tom Griswold
There's a dated lesbian joke.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Tell us, please.
Josh Arnold
Oh, this is.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Cancel the show before we even get started.
Tom Griswold
This came from when I was in college in New York. The joke was, how do you know you're in a lesbian bookstore? There's no humor section. But I think times have changed. We've found there are many funny gay women out there.
Joe Dombrowski
But.
Tom Griswold
There was a time when if you were hovering around Barnard College and you thought, wow, no sense of humor. And ugly.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Scissor me timbers with that one.
Joe Dombrowski
My feelings are hurt about the shirt.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
I'm sorry. You know, somebody had to tell you. Okay. I don't know. What do you look like you're just gonna dig out of a manhole in that thing? Like, what are you doing?
Tom Griswold
Joe's hat's not gonna help him pass.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
It's really. You know, I do look like I could be of heterosexual descent. If you look at me and then you turn the sound down, the jig is up.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
A trait that we.
Josh Arnold
Do you see that documentary? Do I sound gay? I did love that documentary.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
You did?
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
We doing research?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Between that and Liza. Holy heck.
Chick McGee
Are there Late life Male gay? I mean, are you sure? Okay.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Can we Break that down. Is sure. Her sentence was are there. Are there late life, male, gay. Truly a literary work of art. That was. Are there late life, male, gay. What are we asking?
Josh Arnold
There are late life lesbians, is what you're saying, right?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Many.
Chick McGee
Right. So do men do the same thing?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Well, I. Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
It's your turn, Chip.
Josh Arnold
Maybe it's my turn. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Boy, that'd be good for the show.
Josh Arnold
I got this late.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
We'd lose half your viewership.
Josh Arnold
I beg your pardon? I've been called. I've been told. I'm a bear. Isn't that right, Josh? I'm a bear.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yes. Now, do you guys know the breakdown that was. Do you know the breakdown of. We. We do like to put each other in boxes. Bear is one of them. I don't know what bear is.
Tom Griswold
I think boxes.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
It's all of you. And then there's other categories, too. The one is an otter, right? That is, yes. Well, how do you know?
Joe Dombrowski
Because I've had otters.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Because you were at Metro last night. I saw you there.
Joe Dombrowski
Well, Thursdays are the night to go.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Well, look at you.
Joe Dombrowski
I've been told by otters that I'm a bear. And yeah, I attract otter.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
What? Otters.
Tom Griswold
Do you know what's an otter again?
Joe Dombrowski
Brian, of course.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Yes, Brian. I'll give him a call after today. What's an otter? An otter is. Okay, so do you know what a bear is?
Tom Griswold
Yes, yes, yes.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
A bear is hairy game. Bigger, hairy. And then an otter is a slimmer, hairy game. And I would fall under otter. And then there's twink, which is tiny, little, skinny, hairless, basically dolphin skin.
Joe Dombrowski
Right.
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Youthful twink.
Tom Griswold
I like twink. Now, can I use twink or is that pejorative?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
No, you can use it. Just don't throw that around next time you go to Bangkok. But anyway. And then there's twunk, which is when a twink grows up and they get a little hunky. They're not a twink or quite a hunk. They're a twank.
Joe Dombrowski
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Chunky or hunky?
Lonzo Ball's Agent
Hunky. Hunky. They still got some definition. Don't have a FUPA yet, but they're good. Do you know that one? Do you know fupa? Look down. Anyway.
