Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's the best of two pros and a couple Joe
with lamar As rating Winn and Jonas Knox on Box Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, that was something last night at the World Series
in the Bronx.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Me just tell you this right now.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
You want some real fan interference, you go to a
Yankees World Series game.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
That's right, baby, because they're gonna get it. That's a
fan base. That's what you do.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
That's a fan face. I think that might be the
most memorable fan fate. Like when you thought the dude,
what was it the Cubs or what was it? Don't
even get me started, I mean started. That was a
silly ass looking dude. There was his last name. This
dude guys such a loser. Well, let's say this was

(00:52):
a Steve Bartman. He doesn't even come down close to
the dumb ass faith that that fan was making in
this last game. It don't even come close. It looks
like and I got look, I got a dumb face,
Like I don't you know, I think my face is dumb.
So I'm not one to like really clown people in

(01:13):
the way they look. That dude a nice face, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
There was a distinct difference between the two in one event,
the Yankees fan was trying to help out their team.
In this event, for the Cubs you're referring to, it
was exact opposite.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, backfired. Moys c Selou was there ready.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
To I mean, because people forget that there's one out
in the eighth Mark Pryor is dealing in two thousand
and three, I mean, there there are a win away
from the World Series, they're five outs away, and that
knob decides I've got to have that baseball as he's
got his headphones on and.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
He's listening to the game in the radio. Just such
a rain man, What a clown. It was one of
the radio radio moments. But all I'm saying is this dude, Yeah,
just because how he look solely off of how you look.
I just think this dude last night though, like the Glee,

(02:14):
the dumb Glee that.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Was in his face.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, he was rady dude. The Cubs dude was a
radio that was radio right now. That's the look he
had this one last night. He took the cake. I
think Steve Barbot had to move too from Chicago.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Of course, like when they when they finally won the
World Series in twenty sixteen, They're like, they should really
bring him back for what?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
What?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
What? What like bringing back to what so they could
throw him down a flight of stairs, Like.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
No, you don't bring him back at that moment.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Imagine if they could have won that one back in
two thousand and three, and then all those Cubs fans
with season tickets who are trying to sell them, now
there'll be more to sell.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
There'll be a lot more to sell for.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Great point, and maybe, like you know, some people that
were still alive at the time could have seen their
team actually win a world time back in three, but
they can't.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
They're a lot of people came and went, yeah, lost
a lot of good ones waiting on them. Thirteen radio
disrupt the radio? Did it? He's the white radio.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I mean, that's it's so much better that I'm not
trying to condone it, but it's so much better than
streakers or you know people you know getting into fights
with other fans at stadiums, Like that guy tried to
pull the glove off and then try to he tried.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
To pull he pulled it apart, and then tried to
pull the ball out, facial expressions that he was bro bro.
I was like, look, at this mother affirst face man Like,
I'm just sitting there looking at the TV, like, you
know how you be talking like sometimes TV will have
you talking to yourself. I was sitting there like I

(04:08):
was cussing him out, like.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Look at this stupid mother. What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Like, what are you look at your face? Bruh. I
started rewinding it. I was t TV O whatever in show,
rewinding just so I can see his face looking stupid,
man like. That is the most that is the most
historical stupid face I've ever seen, possibly in the history

(04:36):
of sports.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, but there was something daring about him. You know,
there's there's something.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Dear, do you have the stupid face? No, you've got it, Yeah,
you got There has to be. There has to be
something all the way perfect about your stupid face for
it to be the like, Coop, I'm saying, the stupidest
face in the history of sports. Like, think about this

(05:06):
and then start thinking to yourself, have you ever saw
face stupider than that? I can't think of one. I
immediately started thinking to myself, have I ever saw face
more stupid than that man's face? In that moment, I
can't think of one other than if I was looking
at myself, you know. But well, that being said the
Yankees one, we got game, let's keep this. It's going

(05:30):
to let's stretch this out as far as possible. They
have no room for for era and they won so big.
It's just it's like, that's they I don't want. You
got Garrett Cole in the mount they shot their shot.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Garrett Cole was pretty good Game.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
One, you know, it gets lost in all of this.
Freddie Freeman putting on a clinic for the Ages.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Dude, I mean a home run every single game so far?
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Even if the Yankees came back and won, he might
still win MVP of the series.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Whatever said, I mean, at least if he keeps this up.
There's part of me that was like, okay, if you
end it in four, right, they just get a clean
sweet there's no doubt not only that he's the MVP,
but you're saying this might be one of the greatest
performances ever, like ever, I mean George Springer, I guess
did it? Was it back in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
That was marred by the cheating scandal. I don't remember. Well,
I think he had done it as well the first
four games.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
But I mean, if you put that up all the time,
he does it for in game five, I mean it's
rarefied air man as far as in the biggest stage
of your sport, being able to show up and show out,
that's incredible.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
And he's also dealing with the ankle injury, which, like
there was it was questionable whether or not he was
gonna come on. That's why people made the Kirk Gibson comparisons,
because he was injured and all that.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well, Joe Davis did not people.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, there was a lot of people listen, kind of
called my shot on that.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
If we're going to be on.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Freddie me Gibby, I mean, he's the one who made
the call. I think you should give him some credit.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Okay, Well, I mean he seemed like he had so
good with names. Man, I know y'all be remembering all.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
These I mean just seemed like Joe Davis was really
excited about that moment.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Remember, look, LeVar, this is a long standing issue Jonas
has had with me and my relationship and friendship to
Joe Davis. Okay, I try to give him credit. Whenever
credits due. He had a legendary call again. You know,
what do you say, Freddie Mee Gibby? You know, I
mean that whole thing right, But Jonas doesn't want to
get me.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Jonas is a jealous type here. Why let me let
me tell you why he is.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Because I had to sit here on this network and
listen to Brady. This network wax poetically about Joe David
years and I just sat there and said, Okay, we'll
see who's standing at the end of all this.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
And guess what what. I outlasted Joe Davis and I'm
still here with Brady. So Joe Davis got riversided. Chose you.
That's just the game. He knows, he knows who butters
his bread. Blame the player, all right, we can handle
this like some gentlemen, or we could get into some

(08:11):
real gangs. I choose Brady Quinn, by the way, that's
what's the guy cue.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
By the way.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
I was just as I was gonna ask how Lee
was doing. I mean, I think we ridiculed him so much. Bro.
I think that today he forced himself to come in
in like a positive way. To date, he's doing so well.
He asked me how I was doing? Like, I'm like, man,
I'm having an s he day, you know what I mean?

(08:50):
My yesterday was kind of idy?

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yo?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Who Joe Davis? Damn?

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Right?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
WHOA hold on? I was compliments? Don't mess us up
of the in laws? Who that's one of his in laws?

Speaker 5 (09:07):
You stupid?

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Is you trying to say that's how we talk?

Speaker 5 (09:10):
No?

Speaker 3 (09:12):
I don't say nothing, Johnson. What you're trying to say? Man,
what it is you're trying to say? Tout me and
go back? Say that again?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Who?

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Who?

Speaker 3 (09:19):
What say? Did Joe go back? No? No? Say the
way you said when you came in broke and crack
the mic? What did you say?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yo?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Who Joe Davis? Thank you? Lorena? Thank you? Are digging
a hole about a mile deep right now? Now? If
you take that voice who Joe Davis? And you put
that to that fan's face when he was trying to
grab that ball out that man's glove. Hey, by the way, lead,
that's a winner.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Do you have the name of the fan because it
is the most appropriate Yankees fan if you can find it,
because I can't pronounce it.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
That's why I'm asking you. It's Darren Darren and what's
the last Can you just try too hard for the
first about to say? Is Darren too hard for? Are
you resist? It's just try it.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
It's like cappuccino, what I just just sound it out.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
We'll work through it, like we'll work through this the air.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, it's it's the most appropriate name for a Yankee
fan you could ever possibly think like that. It's just
like you see to go, oh yeah, that does look
like a Darren whatever his name.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, I've got to be darn.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
They're like they tease you about what all these white
dudes with black dude names. I'm telling you, man, it
just bugs the hell out of me. I don't get it. Why, Like,
I can't we have something's got to be racist? Can't
we have something?

Speaker 6 (10:43):
I don't ye, stay, we can't have Tyrone? We what
we can't have Darren?

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I mean, man, you what Tyrone started on your team? Man,
that's all the way ours.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
We wanted it. We had Tyrone and fame. Tyrone from
Fame made it. He made it famous.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
That's a great point, you white people shop being so
greedy white people.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
He gave us Hope Capo Buncle, Darren Capo Bianco. I
mean the name Tyrone is actually Irish, you know that.
I don't care. It's ours, by the way.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
Northern Ireland not even liked.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
I don't even care. Tyrone is black in America. You
tell me how many Well it hits you differently because
it's your dad. But god dang, my brother.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Also, if you would have made the trip to Ireland,
you would have made some other tyrones that y'all.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Y'all hadrones around y'all.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Yeah, town, the only tyrone Ireland well traveled enough, man,
Tyrone is ours.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
We are we wanted, by the way, I know, I know, Hey,
we us black people.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
We were like that fan for the New York Yankees
when the name Tyrone was hit and was going out,
tried to take it out of the line, but that
bitch fell back into the stadio.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
That's our name. We didn't quite catch it.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Hey, I got a buddy named Marcus too. We're all
the way.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Greedy, greedy, man selfish. I can't have nothing sorright. Hey,
we let you guys have babe Ruth did. There was
an on air trade, by the way, Chloe kardash.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, that is true.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
But we traded uh A Kardashian for Patrick mahomes so
up top.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Brady, Dang, Yeah, but we got Travis Kelcey. That's true,
Kayla what yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Uh all right, well, hey, congratulations Yankees.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
You stay appreciate shopping from time to I have no
idea what he's saying. Caylen Nicole, Yeah, I think he
was talking about it. His algorithm one. Shout her out
because she's in shape, she's got good it bands damn.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
We kind of floated this out there, you know, could
there be the possibility of the Colts making a switch
at quarterback?

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Joe Flacco time.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
He is now going to get the start in Indianapolis
Anthony Richardson after the unfortunate decision to opt out of
the game on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Flaco taking bodies at the end of his career. Yeah, man,
like he's.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
He really is.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Cat's trying to get away from Aaron Rodgers, but they
ain't trying to get away from Joe Flacco.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
He got got Lamar Jackson his final year, and he's like, okay, all.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Right, I'll never let one of y'all take over for
me again. I'll handle this.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
I to kill this. Didn't he get this John Watson
last year?

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yeah. So apparently.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
A team source with the Colts, I'm just saying, a
team a team source.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
With the Colts said that, uh, you know, this is.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
A quote unquote growth opportunity for Anthony Richardson. Uh, you know,
taking taking a step back and be a good thing.
By all means they're not giving up on Richardson as
their quarterback. But he basically just kind of gave them
they're out right like they're better with Joe Flacco. They
were better when Joe Flacco played. And so now Shane
Sigen's like, all right, this guy wants to opt out.

(14:46):
We'll let you opt out for the rest.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Of the year. Maybeang just handle it like that, So
go ahead, Q you to QB.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
What I think what's interesting about this is what this
does to Anthony Richardson moving forward. I mean, assuming Flacco
plays well the rest of the season, where does that
leave Anthony Richardson then? And I guess what troubles me
about this a little bit. I understand the Colts. They
want to win right now. This could be them making

(15:14):
a message or sending a message to Anthony Richardson with
everything that became public that you know this past week,
tapping himself out come out of the game. Maybe there's
something else, you know, behind the scenes going on in
that regard. I mean from watching him, What's what's tough
to like take away from it at this point in

(15:36):
his career is he's had a hard time staying healthy.
He's not improved by any means his ability to be
more accurate from the pocket, cleaning up his full work.
He's making kind of some of this, you know, similar
mistakes that he'll see him make from time to time.
And as great of an athlete as he is, if
you can't stay healthy, that doesn't really play to their advantage.

(15:57):
So we're into year two, he hasn't played a ton
of games, and yet you're still seeing the same mistakes
and having the same concerns you had two years ago
when he was coming out of Florida.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
And there's two sides of this conversation.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
The first is like the Colts doing this to him
doesn't help his growth in some ways, like the NFL
quarterback position is an experience position. You got to play
the guy to see what you got, and you have
to go through some loves sometimes too, when you've got
to go, excuse me, when you've got a guy who's
only started for one year and then barely played his
rookie year. You've got to be able to at times

(16:32):
find out what he's capable of, but go through some
bad experience in doing that. The other side of the
conversation is there's some fundamental things that you need to
clean up if he's ever gonna be the quarterback you
wanted to be, and playing games is not gonna allow
him the chance to focus on doing that now. I
don't know that the rest of the season, him sitting
as a backup, him working every single day is gonna

(16:55):
be enough time in reps for him to truly change
mechanics and work and things that he needs to change.
Once they get into a game, there's so many things
running through your brain that you really need to kind
of break away in the offseason and focus on those
one or two fundamental things to actually make it change.
When you get into a game scenario and your body

(17:16):
just kind of reacts in order for it to do
it the way you're training it to do, because you've
already got this foundation of how you've done in your
entire life. So it's it's why guys like Tim Tebow
could never change his throwing motion. He threw like that forever.
No one's gonna change that. All these different quarterback gurus people, oh,
we've changed it. I was like, okay, let's go see
what happens in the game, And it looked like it

(17:36):
was winding.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Up a clock.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
And that's just that's how it's gonna be. So I'm
not saying that's the issue with Anthony Richardson. It's more
full work things. There might be some upper bodo mechanic things.
I've really broken them down like that, but the full
work you can very much see those things. It takes
time to train, so this gives him that time. But
the problem with that is is, like you're in the
year two, we seem to have a shorter leash on

(17:59):
these quarterbacks now more than ever. Look at all the
guys that have gotten benched and they're into their first year,
rookie year, and teams already want to move on. I mean,
there's it's a twofold conversation. The league has never been
worse for player development than right now. Your off seasons
are limited, you're hittings limited. So even for other positions,

(18:20):
it's never been worse. And then now the expectation is
as high as ever, where teams expect you to come
in and be able to perform at a high level,
and they're not working with you on the side for
fundamentals like they used to. I keep going back to
that time he had quarterback school, when all you do
would drop back.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
If LeVar walked in with some of the d line
and they'd be laughing at us.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Because like, you, dude, you got your all out there
is dropping back the entire length of field, no football, nothing,
that was all you were allowed to do. And you're
watching film and also their stuff that was going on.
So this is the worst possible time, unfortunately for him,
because he's a guy who needs development, yet there's no
time for it. No one's got patience for that at
the quarterback position.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, I think that that's that's the continued theme.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Time is part of it too, that coaches feel like
there are under they have no time. Yes, so it's like, hey, listen,
I don't have time for you to develop this.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
I need to win.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
That's correct. They're expecting you to have a certain level
of which, by the way, they should have an idea
and an understanding of that they're going to use a
top draft pick on you, bringing you in like it's
not like, oh, well, you know, we did all of
this homework and we felt like this was the grade
he deserved and it was the first round grade, and

(19:41):
we're going to take him in as a first round
or this, that and the other, and then all of
a sudden, you don't feel like he's developed enough. You know,
there's there's a lot of give and take there, or
maybe a gray area in terms of how they're they
should be looked at. If you know that there are
like mechanical issues that need to be he worked on,
you knew that when he was coming in. Now the

(20:03):
question is, did you try to work on the issues
as as I think you kind of alluded to with
Tebow if you felt like those issues were correctable issues.
Are you now at a point where you're saying, well,
we thought we could correct it by now, but maybe
it's due to injury, not enough reps. Maybe it's due
to him not being able to do it well enough.

(20:26):
Whatever it may be. Are you looking at it from
the standpoint up we have a better option, and you
know we'll revisit this when we need to revisit it.
I don't think him pulling himself out of the game
for what it's worth. I don't think it's egregious enough
for this to be the end result of it.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Do you guys think if he didn't pull himself out
of the game that he would have been better, he'd.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
Still be playing.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, I agree, that's I mean, that's that's just a
rough one.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
But by the way, I don't want to make it
sound like he's got to throw emotion like Tim t
and in no way does he. I don't see that
sort of like upper body mechanical breakdown. To me, it's
more his full work. There might be again, there might
be some other things, but he was a much more
fluid passer anyway, or natural passer. To me, it's that
they're trying to set an example. I don't know how
long this will go, but I think if they're truly

(21:20):
investing in Anthony Richardson, they need to look at the
fact that he barely played last year and almost still
say this is a rookie year for him, and we
probably hate admitting that, but he needs to learn from someone,
and this is gonna be the guy he's gonna learn
from it. And I would think that Gardner Minshew was
that guy last year. I think Gardner does a lot
of the right things, and you know the way he

(21:40):
goes about leading a team, leading his guys. But now
I guess you've got another example of that in Joe
and Joe Flacco. So they're going wacko for Flacco guys
just in Annieapolis.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
I don't know what the long term play of it is,
but if if you're looking at it from a standpoint
of trying to build longevity, I think we all know
it is in Flacco. So is this, like you said,
is this setting an example like, hey, look, man, don't
do anything that's going to compromise yourself or this team

(22:17):
in that way.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's just the whole opting out thing, especially for him,
is wild to me from this standpoint.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
As from anybody. Really.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Let me just point this out though, Why is it
hard to understand we've allowed these young people that are
coming in the NFL now to opt out a thousand
things in their life. That's very true, Like things get
hard in college, go transfer opt all right, Do you
need a.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Job like, go get I always tell you it's go
get a crappy job.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
It'll make you appreciate the job you have in the
future when you're doing something that for example, like, hey,
when you're not playing pro football, it's hard to compare
anything else to it that you love and care about
quite as much. But in all seriousness, go get a
crappy job. It doesn't matter what you're doing. You'll appreciate
what you're doing later on. And yet the reality is
our entire society has been built to allow kids to

(23:05):
opt out. Now, Oh, you're not feeling good, don't go
to school, all right? True, it's okay, don't go to school.
You don't have to do that like that, That's what
we've done with this generation at the divorce of athlete.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
And you almost can't you almost can't criticize it. Otherwise
people think, well, listen, you know you've got to give
people the ability to mental health. Yeah, like they're going
to cite that. That's going to be their excuse, and.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
You know it kills me by the way not to
get off on a complete tangent, but whenever we're talking
about mental health, you know, we don't talk about mental toughness,
Like like, where is that for our psychologies and sports
sits and everything else? What does mental toughness come into play?
Like at what point do we go, oh, we're worried
about their mental health? Got it, understand that, But now

(23:48):
it's become a crutch for people who either want to
be weak and lazy, and they use that at times
when it's not about mental health. It's about the fact
that this is an opportunity to build mental toughness, to
build grit, and yet we don't want to get young
people to build those skills when they're gonna need it
later on.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Like like, I honestly, I'm getting.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Serious here, and I hate them doing this because I
know we don't are not supposed to do that on
the morning Sports. But the truth of the matter is,
and obviously Jonas like you can speak this more than
anyone else, there's gonna come a time when these young
people are going to be living their lives without parents,
without people who can be that crutch for them or
have been that crutch for him them.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
How are we preparing them for that?

Speaker 4 (24:29):
But the reality of being a father for me at
this point time my life is trying to instill in
them all these different habits and traits that will hopefully
make them a good person in society, a productive person
in society for our wonderful country. But beyond that, it's
preparing them for life without me. Every moment they're not
with me, and every moment that once I'm gone. That's

(24:51):
what I'm trying to do. And I feel like we've
now are raising kids in an arab where it's like, No,
we don't want them to be like you know, we
don't want them to be like that. We want be aware,
aware of their mental health. No, I want them to
be tough. I want them to be able to sit
there and say, yeah, I would to push through this,
I'm tired.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I don't need to take a playoff.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
I don't need to call a time out like I
can do this like I think That's what I need
is I need them to mentally be able to say that.
And so that's the problem for a guy like Anthony
Richardson is, of course, we're raising all these young people
in a world where it's okay to tap out. It's pathetic, honestly,
and and it's I don't even put it really on

(25:29):
him as much as what we've created as like the
older people and what we're looking down at because we've
we've were like complicit with it. It's okay, it's okay
if they want to tap out, if they want to
take a playoff.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
And it's like, hell, no, it was never like that
when you were grown up. Var It was never like
that when you're when you're growing up Jonas, No, And
it's BS.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
And it's why I think when we look down the
road at where things are going, it's gonna be a
problem because we lack any sort of toughness that like
the future generations flipping had like my dad or his
dad and guys who went served war and came back
out right back in the workforce, put food on the
table for their families. People who are getting up doing
that right now that had fathers like that or you know,
mothers like that.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
I mean, that's the BS of where we're at right now.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
And it didn't happen when I grew up because my
parents wouldn't allow that to happen. That wasn't an option, No,
you go to work, you go to school, you show up,
and if you take that approach, nowadays, it's like, oh yeah,
this is a get off my lawn moment. No, this
is just stop, get off your lazy ass moment. Like
figure it out. And most times now to your guys's point,

(26:32):
that nobody wants to die.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Like that's like now the exception to the rule when
it used to be the standard, which is said, that's
kind of saying.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I'll listen, and I know we're late, but I got
it because my brother's kid who plays at Middle Tennessee
and works his ass off, and I remember him telling
me a story. My brother tell me a story that
one of his teammates was giving him a hard time
because he said, oh, you're one of those try hard guys,
and he didn't stand what it meant, and he talked

(27:01):
to my brother and my brother told him, no, it
just means you're outworking everybody. Yes, he goes, don't let
he goes. Don't let them steer you down that path.
You're out working them and they don't like it. That's
why they're trying to get you in that other mindset.
But is what it is.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
You know, we say this is a Wednesday tradition, and
it's a Wednesday tradition like no other. The Opi Petros
Papadaka is the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM five to
seventy LA Sports Fox college football analyst and a guy
who is uh seeing his Dodgers go to a game

(27:51):
five Oh doyo, with a little bit of help from
Yankee fans who decided, you know what, Mookie, we'll take
that glove and we'll take that ball.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Petros Pompadakis, Pee, what's happening?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Hello, Good morning to everybody, Hello LaVar, Hello Brady.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
You sound energetic today.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
I got up a little earlier, feeling good. One game away, Petro.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Oh for the Dodgers, Yes, very exciting. You know, Don
Martin might have winked at them in the mirror getting
an extra game last night in the mirror, a little
bit more money. I know the people in Fox are
happy because they need more than four games to make money.
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (28:31):
How don say it when he waked in the mirror, wella.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
A little early. H we gotta get a parade in
before the election, Mama. He would that they're desperate to
get it in before the election. Otherwise the fans are
just gonna just put their hands all over. Uh. I uh.

(29:01):
It's interesting because we did do a real victory lap
on the radio yesterday, and then the Dodgers turn around
and lose Game four and now they got to deal
with Garrett Cole and that's not easy. And we'll see
what happens. And then Game six comes back here and
then I'm counting my money, but I'll still wanting to willim.

(29:22):
So we'll see. Very exciting time though, in the city
of Los Angeles. An overall for baseball, I think Dodgers
Yankees World Series keeps the country involved in a way,
with all due respect that the Diamondbacks Rangers does not.
And it's fun to see the city kind of energized

(29:43):
through what's been happening, especially with Freddie Freeman, who's had
an up and down year and some personal problems with
the illness and his family to one of his young ones.
So everybody knows the story. It's been great to watch.
We'll see, we'll see how it continues tonight. They keep
chopping my radio show like a moil though it's tough.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
So I was going to ask you this, Uh, when
you hear some of the criticism.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Really got us.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
When you hear some of the criticism that Dodger fans
get for their behavior at games. But you see that
Yankee fan, uh try and take the ball and then
successfully take the ball out of Mookie's glove.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
What are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Well, it was funny because what it was the Mets series, right,
And I forget the guy that hit it or what happened,
but I mean, I remember what happened the guy.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Uh, the guy caught.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
A Mookie home run? Was it that the padres? Yes,
the padresson Profar, Profar, that's right, he caught I'm sorry,
it's quite early. He caught a Mookie Bets home run
in the crowd and all the Dodger people. My radio
partner was like, you you can, if he's in your crowd,

(30:59):
you can grabbing him and take the ball. You can
fight for him. And I was like, I guess if
that's the rule, I guess you can. I didn't know that.
So then you know Mookie's kind of in the crowd
of New York and they're fighting for the ball. And
the thing I thought when on my head was, hey,
that's what my radio partner said to do. Obviously, Well,

(31:20):
the first thing in my head was that guy's not me.
Everybody thought it was me because he's a fat white
guy with a triple chin. Whenever somebody liked that shows
up on television, I can be misidentified. So I had
to get on top of that and say that's not me.
I'm not there. I wouldn't do that. And then you
watch you try to find out who the guy was.

(31:41):
Austin what was his name? Damn it, I had it
last night. He's a big, fat, Attalian guy.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
All Darren Lee, do you have that guy's name again?
The Yankee fan who took the ball away from Mookie Bets.
He basically just roughed up Mookie Bets.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
Yeah, it looked like they were going to break his arm.
I mean, they were really on him and moved. He
was really mad, and I mean, thank goodness he wasn't heard.
If he was, I think it would be a much.
Oh Austin Capo Beyoncle. Yeah, okay, darn well, I think
they're brothers, Darren Kappa Bioncle. Because there was the mother.

(32:16):
There was the guy in the sunglasses like the eighties
movie New York Fan who held down the other arm.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
You know, I said, it's the stupidest face ever in
the history of sports as we know. It his face
that the facial expressions were just they just were over
the top stupid to me.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Pet Well, I mean that's what that guy looks like, right,
I mean, that's the unfortunate part.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
You know.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
People always say that to me, like, hey, you look
really tired. It's like, no, this is just how I look.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
You know, I wouldn't compare you to him, though, Well,
thank you, I appreciate. I mean I didn't say you
were pretty either. I no, no, I understand. You just
ain't nowhere near as ugly as he was.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Darren Capo Bianco or Capo Bianco.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Whichever the one was. That was two mookies left, the
one that was doing the prying, the one the one
that was the guy.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
That prod it out of the glove, and then there
was the sunglasses guy that held the other arm.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Yeah, that was the other one.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
That was might be brothers Austin and Darren, the Capo
Bianco brothers, now famous back in their hometown of Greenwich,
Connecticut or wherever.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
You know.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Since we're talking about faces and stuff like that, let
me ask you about uh have you seen Dwayne Wade's
Uh Oh?

Speaker 5 (33:28):
I love it? Oh God, I love it.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Let's talk about it.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
I love it. I love it.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
How you feel about it?

Speaker 5 (33:33):
I just can't believe it. It is it's I feel
bad for Dwayne Wade who had to stand there and
wear it in the moment with all the smoke and
the music and the fanfare. But it is a very
interesting thing. It How does that get through? Right? Like
you you imagine the marketing people like the Kobe thing.

(33:57):
There's gonna be like four Kobe statues in front of
Crypto in La. One of them had a completely screwed
up spelling wise and stat wise, box score or whatever
from the night he had his big night against Toronto.
And it took like some German journalist after it was

(34:19):
out there for two months to be like, hey, what
the hell is this right? So that it's like, well,
it's bad. That should never go through unchecked. But it's
a box score. This is a face like, how does
the marketing program go to that sculptor's house or whatever
or whoever sculpted it and say, hey, you're on the

(34:40):
right track, right, I don't know, or they just say,
you know what, I think we can pull this off.
Let's unveil it and just see where it goes.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
And they said he was there and a part of it,
like at every phase and stage of.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Well, if that's the case, then God bless him. He
certainly has even less of a personal view of his
own looks than I I do. God help him. But
but pretty funny, and it makes you think about Ronaldo
and all the other ones that we've seen in recent.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Which one is worse Rinaldo's or or Dwayne Wade's.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
Wade you think so, yeah, because he looks like he's
in so much pain. You know, Ronaldo just looks like,
you know, somebody hit him.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
That's a funny looking face of a statue. The Rinaldo
one though, it is.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
I mean, he's got a funny, like sly look on
his face. But the Dwayne this is really the Dwayne
Wade is like, you know, it looks like somebody is
going to put something in his mouth. Now that being said,
I do want to say this. God damn tonight's pitching
matchup is Jack Flaherty versus Garrett Cole. Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (35:44):
Yes, you know, guys know where Eric Cole went to
high school here in Los Angeles. Well, he's actually Orange
County guy. He went to Orange Lutheran. Orange Lutheran home
of the Lancers, not a very.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Old high Eric Dickerson Town, Eric Dickerson space.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
In the city of Orange. I wouldn't just give it
to Eric think of him as a Texan really, but yes,
but he lived.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
That's where he lives. Like, that's where his daughter went
to school, right.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
Chapman or one of those Orange I don't know. Austin
Pettis the old boy I stumped the swami.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Oh Pettis is legit.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Yeah, well, Eric I think lives in the eight oh
five now, But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
They don't forget about the Thousand Oaks Lancers to Petros
you got, yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
You got your T shirts?

Speaker 5 (36:30):
And yes I do Orange Lutheran though, and I do
love Lutheranism has been there since nineteen seventy three. And Cole,
as I believe by far their most famous alum and
they it costs nineteen thousand dollars about that twenty thousand
dollars a year, which is reasonable in today's day and

(36:51):
age to go to Orange Lutheran. Now, Jack Flaherty is
from Burbank. He's a valley guy. Jonas can't claim that either.
Why not because you're not from the valley?

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Through it every morning?

Speaker 5 (37:05):
Well yeah, but that doesn't mean you're from the anyway.
He won valley all the time too. I work in Burbank.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
He once walked into an adul film set and he
tried to claim that he was a part of it.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
So what.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Well, you see how he dresses anyway. The point is
Flaherty went to Harvard Westlake, which used to be Harvard.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
The Collins twins went there, right.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Everybody went to Harvard Westlake. Jamie Lee Curtis Harvard Westlake
has been there since uh tory spelling.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
He witched Jamie Lee Curtis. The one from a Cruel
was the movie with Arnold Swarzenegger.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
That's that's Jamie Lee Curtis.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Ye know what I'm saying version of Jamie Lee Curtis, or.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Well, I mean I think the one from trading places
with the big giant boobs. I think everywhere she went.
I'm just children.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Who do you think of Petro's who watching.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
Curtis the kindly elderly woman who came on our show
at the LA Children's Hospital recently?

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (38:07):
Nice bad Yeah, punch over the top and the big
booboley boobs in trading places. There we go war Oh,
come on nuclear, But she went there. Harvard Westlake's been
there for one hundred and twenty four years, guys, And

(38:27):
do you know how much that costs per year? Seventy
oh overbid, overbid, Brady. If it was the price is right,
you'd be catapulted fifty gs. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus right, thousands, Yes,
Mark Harmon was a quarterback there. I don't think it

(38:50):
cost that much.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Option, Petrose, I wanted to play out a scenario for you.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
I'm transition gears.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
This has to you like my high school information though, right,
I love I always love it, you know. Actually, furthermore,
let's just go back to a second, to this, to
this bronze bust or whatever, because I feel like you're
the perfect person that I asked this question.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
We were talking about this yesterday. Isn't that hard to
get their face right?

Speaker 5 (39:17):
I remember my father commissioned because of our vanity as
a family. When I was a kid, my father commissioned
two busts to be made of my grandparents, his parents,
and some Greek sculptor in San Francisco. I think his
name was Leonidas, did it. I remember visiting his studio

(39:39):
and we still have the busts there in my dad's office.
Now they look like my grandparents.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
What did it sound like when your dad was pitching
this to you, guys?

Speaker 5 (39:47):
These are great Greek immigrants who raised the family here
at the harbor.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah, there you go?

Speaker 5 (39:54):
All right? Sorry, what was it, Brady? You want to
switch here? Well?

Speaker 3 (39:57):
No, I guess so.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
When I was watching saying as I was really fascinated
by how the sculptor whoever's doing it to get this
so terribly wrong. And the guy, I think his name
is Amani or something, he was saying he spent over
eight hundred hours on this, on this bust, and I'm going, so,
at no point along that process they're not looking at it, going,
I don't know, man doesn't really look.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Like him, like a no point over the eight hundred hours.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
No, I feel you, Brady. I mean, I don't you
know what I think it might be like, Like you're
a Notre Dame guy of course? Right?

Speaker 3 (40:36):
Oh, no, where's this going?

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Well, here's what I'm gonna say. Uh, I'm a USC guy, LeVar,
a Penn State guy. Jonas roots for the University of Hawaii.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Puts it all. Something much improved this year.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
Dennis Thurman, my old coach, Dennis Thurman, that that he
recruited me for. You went to USC. One of my
favorite people is their defensive coordinator, and he's turned Hawaii's
defense around. The point, isn't it? Sometimes when you look
at your own school and you know every inner working
of it and everything that happened, and this guy's a douche,

(41:17):
and this guy's cool, and I'm rooting for this guy,
you get a little too close to the situation and
you spend all morning putting a comma in and you
spend all afternoon taking it out. You know, that's an
Oscar Wild quote. That's not me. But the point is
you get way too close to it, and you can't
tell the forest from the trees, right, And and I'm

(41:38):
not saying that's how you are when notre dame. I'm
just saying, you know, it can happen if you're if
you're close to something. And I think maybe that happened
to the sculptor, Like he said, they're working on a dimple,
you know, or like a esap, and he doesn't realize
that the face looks like Morpheus, you know, when he's
like going through it Morpheus.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
That is the best. That's the best call of herd yet.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
I mean, outside of one that was thrown at me
the other day, which I would will not say all.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
But yeah, it's been going around. The meme has been
going around.

Speaker 5 (42:12):
It's yea. All you have to do is look at Twitter.
You see it all.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
But I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
You give him some sunglass, I mean when he was
getting tortured, you know, when they was torturing.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Yeah, no one would wear those sunglasses in real life.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
No, But you know, maybe someone should put them on
the statue. They look more recognizable.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
They got to do something. Maybe they'll replace the head.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Mm hmm you think so.

Speaker 5 (42:37):
No, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know
what you do.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
It's hard to go backward.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
To become a universal joke, and it's like, I don't know,
I don't know where you go from there.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
I think I've got a solution, all right. Bang Bros.
Has been trying to get to the stadium forever down there.
Why not get them to underwrite the cost of redoing
it the right way?

Speaker 5 (42:57):
Bang Bros. Real great presence there in the South to Florida.
They haven't you always see the bus driving around.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
They've wanted their name on that that arena forever, from
American Airlines to whatever the hell was going on.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
I don't know what the state of whatever it is
crypto cash, but they are the there's this title sponsor
of Staples Center or the where the Lakers play now.
So I don't know what the viability of of of
that kind of currency is, but they have a why
not The bang Bros At least makes money?

Speaker 3 (43:30):
And I was gonna ask you little.

Speaker 5 (43:33):
Too silicon for me, a little too silicon.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
So I was going to ask you this because I
was listening yesterday to you in Natural look to you
and Matt money Smith on on the PMS Show, And
I'm listening to you guys talk about another local alum,
John Carlos Stanton and.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
You yeah, that was unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
You were wearing him out because what he gets he
did he get some facial reconstruction surgery.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Or something that was like, Matt, I would never say this,
but since you were listening, I'll say what happened. Matt
was like, hey, man, what's up with that guy's face?
It's like something a little off vanilla sky, right, And
the people were like, I were like, dude, he wore
a fastball off his face and he had all kinds

(44:20):
of reconstruction. And then I was like, well, yeah, but
you know, the fastball didn't knock his eyebrow hair off.
Why is her eyebrows all manicure? He looks like a
you know, looks kind of weird in the eyebrows. But uh, yeah,
it was unfortunate, and you know that could happen on
a you know. I remember like a guy came into

(44:43):
booth once and like when I was calling a game
and was like like something like that and like a
kind of a weird voice, not a weird voice, but
a voice. And I looked over at my partner I
was like, just you know that guy, you know, did
he go to the dentist or something? Did he just
lose a tooth and then he was like, no, no,
he has some sort of palsy. It's like, oh God
help me, killed me now, you know. But but at

(45:07):
least it wasn't live on the radio, you know. But hey,
can I can question stakes?

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Right?

Speaker 5 (45:13):
You watching something on TV while you're on the radio,
and you're like, hey, what's up with that guy? Look
at his faith?

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Like that guy grabbing for the ball? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
I guess not's question, Petro, I want to hear it.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
I'm I could answer it fast.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
Okay, So did you see the tie breaking scenarios for
who plays in the Big Ten Championship Game? Like, there's
a shot that Oregon may not. If Penn State beats
Ohio State, in Indiana beats Ohio State, there would be
a three way tie and it would come down to
the margin of difference in those wins over Ohio State

(45:54):
amongst the three teams. So, if Penn State and Indiana
beat Ohio State by more than one point, they would
go to the Big Ten Championship Game instead.

Speaker 5 (46:05):
Have you seen this? Would that exempt them from the
College football playoffs?

Speaker 3 (46:09):
I don't think it exempts Oregon from it, but it
would be just to be kind of crazy.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
That now that is that is crazy. But here's what
I say. Organ doesn't make a full check in the
big ten, yet box them out to hell with him?
All right, all right, go Penn State. Yeah, get over
the hop on this punk ass Ohio station. Yes, yeah,

(46:32):
