Speaker 2 (01:06):
He's back.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
That's back, Yeah, all right, yes, there he is.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Hey, are we panicing about the Dodgers yet.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's set in panic brothers are out.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, they look like that eighteen inning game kind of
stole every ounce of energy they had left in them.
Oh no, And I think Petros pointed out on social
media they looked old, they look afraid, and Baltimore is
just slugging away and Baltimore or excuse me, Toronto.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I was about to say, yeah, wow, Toronto's just slugging
away bird and oriole.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
That's true and uh and they're headed back to Canada
for Game six and seven coming up Friday Saturday.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Nang.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Oh yeah, not what everybody thought, but not the worst
thing in the world. I wont seven games. I said
it from the get go. I want to see seven games.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
That company man right there.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let's let's get this rocking.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, Kenda Jays kind of Blue Jays maintain. See now,
it's like you had that two game giveaway. You know
where you're getting your your rest or you're getting yourself
back together during that two game stretch. Can the Blue
Jays handle the next two games or did they? Did
they shoot their load to get back to Toronto?

Speaker 5 (02:36):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Did they give did they give their all to get
back to Toronto, you know, and they got nothing left
and maybe or maybe even the emotional you know, the
emotional aspect of going into to the Los Angeles and
winning at Dodger Stadium. You know, there could be some

(02:58):
hangover from that.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
Maybe I'm viewing this differently, but it's not so much
to me like the whatever you just said as far
as like the.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
The I'm not even gonna repeat what you just said.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
But me, I mean, what are you talking about if
you shoot your I don't know.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
I don't feel like they're the exertion that baseball players
put out unless you're pitching, Uh maybe catching, that's kind
of the extent, Like it's it's not you're not running
a marathon every time you're playing nine endings or even
if you go to eighteen. This to me is more
about this this thought that when when we first saw
the World Series announced, we thought the Dodgers were gonna win, Hey,

(03:41):
in four and five, Like that was some of the conversation,
Like people made this series to be made out to
be a David versus Goliath. Meanwhile, we kind of forget that. Okay,
they played in the regular season, the Dodgers weren't like
that much better, and in fact, the Blue Jays obviously
won a game more, which is why Toronto has home field.

(04:02):
Like these teams are much more evenly matched, and might
I say, like outside of the star power that the
Dodgers have, the team, the entire Toronto Blue Jay's team
has kind of showed up more so in a better
spot than the Dodgers have. Like I kind of sit
there and just watch this series and say, like, this
is basically a team that was all about hype because

(04:24):
they've got arguably the greatest talent we've ever seen in
baseball and some other, don't get me wrong, really good players.
But then that kind of just that's kind of it.
It feels like you've got a team versus a bunch
of like star power, star player individuals, and we're kind
of seeing how that's playing out right now.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
I don't know if I don't know about what he's
talking about. All I'm saying is emotions. When the emotions
run high, you were.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
So good to be back by the way, LSU Florida,
Ben Penn State. They're head coaching search. That's what I'm getting,
at least from the people out there.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
What's interesting who say good, what.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
LSU, Florida, fron State, the order of appeal.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
That's how the search from all these people are kind
of talking about it.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Guess the only like Virginia Tech last night was the
yeah that's a four gune conclusion.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Huh yeah, well looks.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
A lot it does outside Like last night was the
first game that actually surprised me in the series because
I wasn't surprised Toronto came out and won Game one.
There was a layoff for the Dodgers. You know, the
bats got hot. I wasn't surprised that Yamamoto came back
in Game two and pitched the way he did.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
He's been fantastic.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Game three, win eighteen innings, and I wasn't surprised that
Toronto responded in Game four. That game last night, they
didn't The Dodgers did not look good and Toronto just
didn't make mistakes. There was one pitch that you savaged
through that keyk Hernandez hit out. Other than that, he
dominated them. And it's not just Look, the Dodger bullpen

(05:57):
gets a lot of credit or a lot of criticism,
and a lot of people look at the bullpen and
go that's been an issue, and it has been an
issue clearly, But Mookie Betts has been awful. He said
it after the game last night. They've got a lot
of guys who just aren't hitting right now. And oh Tani,
you know, he didn't deliver last night in a lot
of spots and a.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Lot of opportunities.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
So I just I looked at last night's game and
I go, that was the one that kind of surprised
me because I didn't expect for them to have the
quote unquote hangover effect another game after whatever happened a
couple of nights ago, and that's exactly what it felt like.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
I might be traumatized. Maybe that's why I'm siding on
the side of the whole emotional deal. Let me ask
you guys this Toronto, if they were to win the
World Series, what type of impact does that have on
the MLB? Is it a positive impact? Is it a
negative impact? Is it indifferent?

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Is it?

Speaker 7 (06:54):
Like?

Speaker 5 (06:54):
What is it? I think it's a thought.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Well, first off, like I would say this, like again,
the David and Goliath thought probably comes from payroll, Like
we tend to look at the teams to spend the
most money and say those are the teams that are
going to win a World Series. So yeah, it kind
of stands in the way of that argument or that
discussion point.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
And like the other part of that David and Goliath
payroll aspect is there was like, oh man, you know
the it's like the Blue Jays are just piecing this
whole thing together with some gum and some duct tape. Dude,
vlad Grew just got five hundred million dollars. It's not
like they're not shelling out a little bit of cash.
They made deals at the deadline. They've got Bobaschett who's
looking to get paid in the offseason, and whether or

(07:33):
not they're going to want to keep him around or not,
that remains to be seen. But yeah, it's it's not
like this team is devoid of talent like they as
you pointed out, they won more games in them. So
what it does to baseball, I think baseball is in
kind of this holding pattern because there's more than likely
and talk to anybody in the know, it's about ninety

(07:54):
nine percent sure there's going to be a work stoppage
after next year that you know, they want the salary cap,
the players don't want that, and so there's a lot
of teams who are kind of like, eh, not really sure.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
How we should go about this.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
The Dodgers kind of got ahead of this whole thing
and have gotten their World Series last year and have
been on this run, and I think there's teams around
baseball that are just kind of operating with the understanding
that we're not really sure. So it's almost like, can
you get in your World Series in the structure that
Major League Baseball is in currently before everything might change

(08:29):
here in a couple of years, and so I just
I don't know that long term you can look at
it and say what does this do for baseball? Because
I don't know that anybody has answers after this upcoming
year because there's going to be a stoppage.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
So that's another part of the storyline that isn't just.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Saying you get locked out, which would make sense. I
feel like this deal has been much better for the
players than the owners. The problem is, you know how
much leverage do the owners have in those negotiations to
put in a salary cap. I mean, this is I'm
understand there's a lot who feel like the spending is
out of control. I mean, when you see some of
these baseball numbers. It just everything else pales in comparison.

(09:08):
I mean even some of the NBA money, which is ridiculous.
And they've got a soft cap, but I do feel like,
you know, there should be some sort of system put
in place, and if they do put in a hard cap,
it would be really interesting to see, like if there's
not more stories I want to say necessarily Toronto, but
more organizations that could be competitive with spending less, which

(09:30):
is obviously not what the players want, you know, they
don't want to have a cap put on what they're
potentially able to make and allow some of these big
budgeted teams to not go out there and just buy
them up. But I do think during the course of
the regular season, I do think if you're talking about
like playoffs and figure out who's gonna win it all,
it does play into other teams having to be a

(09:50):
little more nimble and having to be able to, you know,
do more with less.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
And that's what they.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Call a moneyball. Call whatever you want, because we've seen
those success stories. But that's all what it gets to,
and maybe it leads to more parody within the league.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
I would think, at least.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I mean a team hasn't won back to back World
Series in twenty five years. It's not as if the
Dodgers are just running rough shot and winning every single
World Series like that. They've they've run into issues like
there's if you were to ask a Dodger fan, they
would say, yeah, we'd expect they would have won more
by now. So I just I know that people like

(10:26):
to paint them out to be, well, it's the Yankees
from back in the day, but it's not because the
Yankees actually were winning a bunch of World Series and
the Dodgers have found themselves in difficult spots in the
postseason and have come up short several times over the
past several years.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
I think the hard thing is And by the way,
it's not like the Blue Jays don't spend like I
think that's one of the misnomers about, you know, this
whole situation, like are they spending as much as the Dodgers, know,
like the total team payrolls like three hundred and fifty
million or something like that this year, and obviously the
Mets have paid a lot. You know, Philly's up there,
the Yankees are up there, and then you start getting

(11:01):
down to you know, the depths of someone like the
Blue Jays.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Fifty million.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
Oh, the Pirates on, let me scroll all the eighty
four million. I'm more of an eighty four.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Minutes guy, but damn childhood Pirates, but more of a
that's guy.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
Well, don't worry. Only they're only spending one hundred and nine.
So but don't worry, guys.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
No one's worse than the Miami Marlins, who have spent
a little over almost sixty eight million.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
That's their total team payroll.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Their team payroll was sixty eight million, a.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Little under that.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Actually, yeah, all right, it's good for the Marlins, good
for them.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
But but what you kind of notice is, for the
most part, there's a direct correlation. I mean, outside of Milwaukee,
Milwaukee's only one hundred and twenty one, you know, and
that's a team that obviously made it really far. Cleveland
one hundred million, you know, that's a team that also
made it decent, decently far. I was just exceeded expectations.
So that's that's part of the issue is when you

(12:01):
don't have a cab, there tends to be more of
a correlation between what you're spending what you're getting out
of it. With some exceptions, but more often than not
that's the case. So if that change happens that you're
talking about, it would it'd be interesting to see how
baseball would adjust. You know, the trade deadline would probably
look a lot different too. But it'd be fun, I
know that much. Just not as much fun for the players.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Because that union is I would say, if you're an
NFL player, you would look at that union and go,
why can't we get that?

Speaker 5 (12:32):
You should be consulting with them. Yeah, it doesn't make
any sense, you guys know.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
It.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
But you know, I gave y'all what I had.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
I'm saying that's what you had.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
I had the World Series I gave, but what I
had I don't know all this other stuff, y'all right now,
Like I'm sure some people found.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
That's it. I was just looking at y'alls.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, I just but it is kind of interesting that
the the MLB players union is sort of the strongest
and the one that you want to be and meanwhile
in the NFL you got a guy going to strip clubs.
Like it's kind of interesting that now you see sort
of the end result of all that. But yeah, probably
after next year, maybe some things will change. It is

(14:52):
pros FSR and subscribe. Brady Cash, you question right, just
want to ask uh how you would?

Speaker 8 (15:01):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I would well, as soon as uh we get to
get that figured out, we'll ask the question.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
But nonetheless we.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Have what you can't ask me the question, all right,
so let me ask whatever? All right, So I'll see
how you go away from black and drag real quick stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Would you trust?

Speaker 10 (15:35):
Okay, wrong right there, because I just if somebody, hypothetically speaking,
if somebody accidentally put an item in the microwave that
had foil on it that may or may not have
caused a little bit of a flare up inside, would

(15:55):
you trust that microwave afterwards.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Owing that information. I would not want to be the
first one to use it after I heard the details
of what took place, you know, I wouldn't want the sparks,
the flames, the stuff like that. I mean, because it
seems fine.

Speaker 11 (16:17):
I did use it again after Okay, it seems.

Speaker 12 (16:20):
Okay and no issues. What what did you heat up afterwards?
The same sandwich? Oh okay, the foil protected it. Oh okay,
that's why I want to do this.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
It's just not good.

Speaker 11 (16:35):
Well, it's also like you know, it's crazy. It smelled
like toasted marshmallows.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Though. Man, oh, how do you not check to see
if there's tenfoil on your sandwich?

Speaker 5 (16:49):
What type?

Speaker 7 (16:49):
Like?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Okay, let's do this because this could play a major
role in it, all right, because when you use foil,
it's because you've ordered a sandwich that it's you want
to hold the heat.

Speaker 11 (17:02):
Yeah, it was a hot sandwich. It was a chill
Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Loreina, Yes, what type of cheese steak sandwich ever is
wrapped in anything but a foil? Like a foil like wrapping, Like,
explain to me, when have you once in your life
got a Philly cheese steak sandwich that was not wrapped
with either regular foil or like the foil paper type.

Speaker 11 (17:29):
Of Jersey Mike's wrapsas and foil.

Speaker 13 (17:31):
Just so you know, I'm pretty sure it's paper on
paper paper. So usually I throw their whole paper wrappers
straight into the microph you go.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
But wouldn't you feel there, you go, if you held
the sandwich that there would be a difference.

Speaker 11 (17:43):
I really didn't hold it much grip. Yeah, if they're.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Putting it in a paper they're putting it in a
paper wrap. You it's you've already started off wrong anyway.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
I just think that that is I don't know.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
I mean, I guess if if if now you've gotten
support from from Q on what what the paper wrapping is,
then I guess that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
That you didn't think that it was.

Speaker 11 (18:08):
In foil didn't even cross my mind. But it was
soil could be.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
But it was in the brown bag. You wouldn't open
up the brown bag and then put it in.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
I would.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
That's that's another part of it. I wouldn't throw in
just the whole brown bag.

Speaker 11 (18:20):
It's like it's a long sandwich bag.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Who wrapped it in foil?

Speaker 11 (18:24):
The people who made it.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
I'm assuming and loss are not Jersey.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
No.

Speaker 11 (18:29):
I don't even know where it's from.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
So it's not Jersey, mikes.

Speaker 13 (18:32):
But that's that's my no.

Speaker 14 (18:39):
No.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
No.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Like like Warreos, Warreos is like the greatest sandwich in Columbus,
I mean so good. They're like barely open anymore because
they can't fulfill all the orders. They wrap theirs in
paper and then foil, so like wherever it travels to,
it stays that way.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
But you got to know what your sandwich spot is.
Come on, now that's Bushley. Then you should check.

Speaker 11 (19:01):
Then you should check, should you know? And next time?

Speaker 13 (19:04):
Next time I will, Next time I will. I was
standing next to the microwave, I'm like, what is that
popping sound? I've never heard that before, and then all
of a sudden there's this little poof of flame that
popped up, and then another one.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
Let me just say this, another one man made or
God made man and God made woman for our ying
and yang you know how we get along to where
we're going with this. I'm just saying, I'm out that
is that is something? Who was around you when you
put in the microwave?

Speaker 4 (19:37):
No one clearly no, because you know what you know?

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Hell, are you out?

Speaker 6 (19:42):
Like you would have helped you out, as any of
us right here on the show to have been like,
what are you are?

Speaker 5 (19:47):
You want to check out and make sure that doesn't
have foil on there, Like I don't think you know
what I'm saying, like say.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
That, yes, yes, they would everyone watching put tinfoil into
a microwave.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
I'd be like, hey, okay, you didn't try.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Also would recommend you didn't try.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
To see it.

Speaker 11 (20:04):
We would have said you a picture. I strew it
away outside because obviously smelt.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Like I also wouldn't recommend putting silverware in the microwave either.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Probably wouldn't work. That would It would cause issues.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Although, hey, that sandwich should be heated up on the grill,
probably be pretty phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
It was good in the micro temperature.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Oh my gosh, I'm just it's not the.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
First time anybody's had an issue. The great John Ramos
burned exploded a microwave putting mac and cheese in there.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Back in the day. Mac and cheese, yeah yeah, yeah,
that was a problem.

Speaker 11 (20:35):
That man liked.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
Now now there was storytelling. Oh I didn't have the
chance to tell he guys. This obviously it's a couple
of days old. But so we go out to dinner
with my family for my birthday and on the way
back my dad. My dad's at that age where he'll
be seventy seven here shortly. He just has to have
certain things like he's kind of stuck in his ways, right,

(20:58):
Like every meal to him should finish with a milkshake
or some sort of ice cream, like he just he
loves ice cream, always has. It's not a bad thing,
it's just you know, that's he's where he's at. So
we finish up dinner, we walk across the street and
I think only he and Alicia, my wife, they're the
only two that get ice cream, get cones. And so

(21:20):
then we get picked up and there's there's a bunch
of buds. It's my you know, older sister, younger sister, mom,
Dad on that and we're like this in this van.
So he's about two thirds of the way done with
this cone and he starts to choke now, mind you,
Like for whatever reason, I've always like, remember my dad
would always eat too fast because he build up a

(21:42):
really bad habit from I think when he was young,
having brothers and them just like fighting to I eat.
And he'd always eat fast and go back out and play.
But even when he became a marine, they always had
a little amount of time to eat, and he's always
had an appetite like that dude eats like a horse,
so he would like throw down as much food as possible,
like fifteen minutes when he was serving, and then they'd

(22:04):
have to move on, right, So he's always had this
bad habit of just not chewing well or not chewing
his food. And he starts to choke, and at first
I'm like, all right, it's kind of patting him on
the back like he's gonna get through this. And then
it's like starting to get scary, like my little sisters
like do something like you know. She's like, I'm like

(22:24):
hold on for a second, like I don't want to
make it worse. And so then finally he starts to
stand up because he's like throwing himself against the side
of the van to like get it out, okay, So
I grabbed him.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
He's still holding the cone in my nae.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
I grabbed the cone out of his hand, give it
to my wife, and then I started doing the highmlich
and I probably get like three times. Then he's like
he's like, Okay, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. So
I was like, probably scarred my little sister for life.
Now she thinks he could only eat like oatmeal yogurt,
like no, like no hard foods. And then the best

(22:59):
part about it was he ended up grabbing Alicia's cone,
who like she barely had even started eating ice cream,
and he just polishes off her cone. To me, while
she's stuck with whatever remnants was left from his cone.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Just from the whole situation.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
How do you choke on ice cream?

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Bro?

Speaker 5 (23:14):
That's what I said to him. I literally looked at
him and go.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
Chops, like we got problems, Like if you can't finish
a waffle cone, like, I'm gonna have to have like
someone like live like next to you every moment watching
you eat anything ice like you're gonna be.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
Able to liquid that.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Well, Noah, if he bit it, if he got into
the cone, I could see that and a waffle cone.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
But even then if it wasn't like a big waffle cone,
it was like, I mean, there was a small little piece.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
It don't take much to get in that throat, you
know what I mean? It choked that throat out, don't
it don't take much, you know, So.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
That was one of those chop Now I have to
check on him breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
I'm gonna send him a text message like everything, chew
your food. I'm pushing the Skyline chili all the time.
You know, it'd be really hard to choke on Skyline chili.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
You know, I never I never realized it or never
dawned on me. My dad was the same way. He
always had to have ice cream after every meal. I
don't know why every dinner he wanted ice.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Cream interesting up top? Hell yeah, all right, so I
don't want no ice cream after dinner. Player, damn all right,
it's time for It's time for soft ass, It's time
for oh, thick tongue, It's time for a thick tongue.

(24:41):
Louisiana governor by the name of Jeff Landry to interject
himself and of all things of firing the l s
U head coaching search. You're here was Jeff Landry talking
with reporters on Wednesday. Uh, and he basically just called
out the athletic director there at LSU, Scott Woodward, and

(25:04):
said he's not going to be a part of this
whole hiring process, and we're looking for a head coach,
amongst other things he laid out yesterday.

Speaker 15 (25:11):
We are not going down a failed path. And I
wanted to tell you something. This is a pattern. The
guy that's here out at road. That contract cost Texas
A and M seventy some million dollars. Right now we
got a fifty three million dollar liability. We are not
doing that again. I believe that we're going to find
a great coach. I'm not gonna be picking the next coach,
but I can promise you we're going to pick a coach,

(25:32):
and we're going to make sure that that coach is successful,
and we're gonna make sure that he's compensated properly, and
we're gonna put metrics on it because I'm tired of
rewarding failure in this country. I can tell you right
now is not selecting the next coach. Hell, I'll let
Donald Trump select it before I let him do it.
I don't know, but the borter Supers is going to
come up with a committee and they're going to go
find us a coach. You don't need to start looking
at who represents all these people like these agents. You know,

(25:55):
it's interesting, what is agent Kelly's agent the Texas A
and they all the same agent, Like this is ridiculous.
Lawyers would be this born for the way these agents act.
Like it's really time for the NCAA to put on
some guard reels in college sports. Because it is fine,
we don't need the guard reels. Big billionaires want to
spend all that time, no problem. But if I got

(26:16):
to go find fifty three million dollars from kem, it's
not going to be a pleasant conversation.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Now, that is a Cajun accent.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
That was something something, And if you're Brian Kelly, now
you can understand why that man is speaking with so
much intensity and passion and whatever else it is.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
And his voice like that's the real one, not not
my family. You know, that's how so non authentic? After
you heard.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
That, you know, when I when I hear him talk
about this, I just remember we spent a week in
New Orleans for the Super Bowl, and just looking around
the city, it feels like there's other things other than
LSU's head coaching search.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
It could probably get a get looked at.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
I feel like maybe some other things might be a
priority there as opposed.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Well, yeah, I mean I think I did a little
background on this. I think you've got like.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
The third worst public school system, like they're like top five,
and crime rate in the state of Louisiana. There's there's
a bunch of other things that I mean, I don't know.
If I was probably a you know, resident of the
state of Louisiana, I'd tell my governor, let's fix those things,
like let's let's worry about our public school systems, you know,
bringing down violent crime. They have the second highest poverty rate.

(27:31):
Let's worry about like the state economy, the local economies.
Like that's that's just that's just what I want. I mean,
I don't know. And here's the other thing. It was
it Ronald Reagan, you know who said I'm the nine
to most terrifying.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Words like I'm from the government, I'm here to help.
Like when has that ever worked?

Speaker 6 (27:48):
Like he wants to get Trump involved, Like what what
are you talking about? Like this this is the sort
of like overreach from people who and we talked about
this with like NFL owners, like they didn't make their
money that way, and they start dipping into the football
realm and football minds like, no, no, Now, I'm a
part of the hiring process. Well, how's that worked out

(28:09):
for some of those guys. They hire the guy, they
fire him, they hire the guy, they fire him. I
mean they just go through this cycle over and over
and over again. Look, if he wants to discredit Scott Woodward,
like I get that, and it almost makes the case
that why is he still a director at LSU given
his track record, I can understand that.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
And he does bring up valid points about the agents.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
Like I said before, one of the craziest things I
saw before the season is Brian Kelly, who has the
same agent, Trace Armstrong as Garrett Usmeyer, their quarterback, and
they're over there like negotiating, like what it's gonna cost
am come back and play this season? Like you don't
think that's a conflict of interest, And there's there's some
of that that goes on honestly at the NFL level.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
And even though they can try to say.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
Like, well, you know, there's there's no favoritism, showing it's
ps man like there should be more separation there.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
I mean, look, we don't.

Speaker 6 (29:03):
There's not a union yet, So there's a bunch of
things that would change if the players in college football
had a union and how they were represented, and how
much more credible those agents would be that represent those players.
But he's him getting involved in this is like going
to be a disaster, and it just it oozes of

(29:24):
just everyone trying to find a way to politically position themselves,
you know, for their own personal desires. Like he can
say whatever he wants, but this is about trying to
make him look good for the next time he's up
for reelection. That's usually how this works. It could be
a great guy, but there's other things I think I'd rather.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Him focus on. If that was me, if I lived
in the state of.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Louisiana, Scott would be one a hundred of us.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Is that's one hundred percent what it is. The agenda
is you're trying to do something that's going to appease
the people. And for his involvement, somebody told him that
he needed to have his voice be heard, his presence
be felt, so that you can go to the poll
or the people that are going to dictate if you're
in office or not, and you can hit a demographic.

(30:12):
They clearly identified that there's a large demographic of people
that are connected to LSU football that if he can
win there, you know, at least get in front of them,
get a good good, feel good story and experience like
we're gonna win and create a standard. Then now you
can you can take that and transition that into politics

(30:35):
outside of the sports round. You can say the same
approach that we need to take in certain things that
we're doing for the football team. You know what, we
need that same process in what we're doing with our communities.
We got to be a team. We gotta work together.
We got to have somebody like me who can lead
the charge and make sure that we are organized and

(30:57):
structured the right way where we're not wasting our money
in time that's being put into us in this fair,
this city, here in this state. We need to make
show that we get the right dollards behind everything that
we got going on.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
How did Brian Kelly butcher the accent so poorly in
comparison to what a real Cajun accent is like? Because
if you compare that, as you pointed, even Jeffry like
like that's that's rough. That's like when that Pam was

(31:32):
the movie that Departed came out and there was like
some guys who you could tell had real Boston accents,
and the other guys are like, they're just pretending. Brian
Kelly didn't even like it's it's nowhere close to what
a real cagen LaVar does a better Cajun accent than
Brian Kelly. Well, I got some real Southern Southern roots.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
My mashup of how I say things and what I
do is is a lot of it is. I got
the deep Southern you know, people that that have been
around me my whole life. You know who is the
funniest though with it is Joe Namath. You be you
hear Willie Joe talk bro Joe Willie, and you'd be like, hey, bro,

(32:15):
like you do know you're from Pittsburgh, You're from where
I'm from. But we apparently we get accused of having
very country actions. Go ahead, all right, now that's supposed
to be his Cajun by family.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Now how the other guys out.

Speaker 15 (32:33):
Jeff Landry, Now we are not going down a failed path.
And I wanted to tell you something.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
This is a pattern.

Speaker 15 (32:40):
The guy that's here all at road, that contract million
dollars you got here, say Donald three million dollar liability,
are not doing that again.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Dollar.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
It's like it's more, it ain't even close.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Oh, I think we can.

Speaker 8 (34:04):
I think we're capable of keeping me civil. I'll uh,
I'll be in attendance of the Notre Dame.

Speaker 7 (34:08):
Game this weekend, by the way, so wofully. Hopefully they
can uh.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
Yeah, yeah, hopefully.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
Brady's really taking to me, taking to calling me them
and I am I'm the most for the Irish, they're
always Hopefully, hopefully we can Hopefully you can break that
spring that's training for you this weekend, Brady.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
I love when you come on our show and gloat
about how they haven't been as good when you when
you're in attendance.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
But that will change this week.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Here's the other thing that that points out is you
know this game this week for the Buckeyes was supposed
to be outside of Texas, and even with the including Texas,
maybe that you know, one of the biggest games of
the season. They now so much so that you know
you've got a diehard Buckeye fan like Alberbert.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
He's not even attending.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
I mean, is the horse you even gonna be sold out,
is gonna be like seventy percent full?

Speaker 5 (35:03):
Like what's happening right now? I don't know.

Speaker 7 (35:05):
I mean, is it still a tough ticket?

Speaker 8 (35:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (35:08):
I'm not sure. I mean it was before the year.
Before the year would have been a really tough ticket.

Speaker 8 (35:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (35:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
If I was not even going to the game, I
was like going, no, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
I'm not fair weather. I'm not I'm not Badwagon. I
just felt like, in measure and measurement to going to
the game, which I was planning on going, this is
my wife's birthday weekend. So it was kind of like,
you know, it's not.

Speaker 7 (35:39):
So it was You're only going to go if it's
worth it.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
It's a well, it's a it's a little deeper, like
it's a little anniversary deal, like like not to get
like turning, you know, like dark or anything like that.
But a significant happening took place and it's the anniversary
of it. So I'm gonna be here with her and
hang out with her. And it would have had to
have taken something pretty significant for me to not, you know,

(36:05):
be here this weekend.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
So I'll leave it at that. But but I say.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
I had a conversation with coach Terry yesterday with my
weekly that I sit down with him, and you know,
I always like the odds of games like this, like
coming into it, you can say, well, based upon how
low Penn State has performed level wise and how high

(36:30):
oh how State has performed level wise, it's a clear
you know obviously what the conclusion should be on Saturday.
But these are the type of games you sometimes forget
how good the players are because of what the record
is and what they've gone through. But I feel like
they may have stabilized a little bit, you know, gotten
a little bit used to or over the firing, the

(36:53):
shell shock of fired, you know, of their coach, and
now it's you know, maybe they could put together a
game against Ohio State.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
I mean, they still have players, that's for sure. And
I I, uh, I would say, the one thing that
scares me is this always scares me, you know in
these sorts of situations is the quarterback is from Ohio
and he wasn't recruited.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
By And that's that thing, you center.

Speaker 7 (37:18):
I was in I was in school.

Speaker 8 (37:20):
I was in school.

Speaker 7 (37:21):
When and Brady, this name will probably ring a bell
with you.

Speaker 8 (37:25):
Maybe you two are right.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
He took me on a visit.

Speaker 7 (37:29):
Yeah, Ryan Brewer. Yeah, Ryan Brewer two years in a row.
I believe in the out Bowls. Yeah, ripped Ohio State apart.
And I believe was he mister football in Ohio and
he wasn't recruiting much, right he was? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I'm always I'm always literally like the underdog.

Speaker 8 (37:48):
From Ohio who wasn't recruited by us.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
So that was that.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
Was my recruiting visit with Ryan brew It was like
the only dude from anywhere above the Mason Dixie line,
and so he was he had foot surgery, I think,
and so he was on crutches, but like he pulls
up in his Camaro and I'm like, oh yeah, I've
watched him like beat Ohio State now the past couple
of years, and you know, kind of took us around
a summertime so there wasn't much going on in Columbia,

(38:14):
South Carolina. But really really good dude and very very
much motivated by the fact that Ohio State, to your point,
did not recruit him. So h he he did not
forget that and he made sure to show out in
those two games you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
I think, like, wasn't I'm ar I might be wrong
about this.

Speaker 8 (38:30):
Wasn't Curtisy. It's from Columbus too.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
From Ohio. He's from Westero. Yeah, and he's from Westerville.
I think that's right.

Speaker 7 (38:38):
So, like Curtesy, this is another one where it was
like a huge revenge game and he rushed for probably
two fifty years.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
John Carter, Yeah, we've had We've had some historical dudes
that have played.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Really that's what I'm thinking of.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds was Westerville.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
Okay, Yeah, but.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
He's an Ohio guy.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Yeah, I mean I he's had probably the most impressive
showing at the Big thirty three of any probably any
player period that's played in the game. So Kurtinus was woof,
it's a grown ass man.

Speaker 6 (39:11):
But Union City, Ohio was Curtis super country way west.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
Yeah that's way well, it's like on the border of Indiana.

Speaker 14 (39:19):
He's almost a Hoosier, but he was totally he was
like curtisians was one of those I remember that vividly
of like him, like he got emotional when he beat
Ohio State because they didn't recruit.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Him, right, Like, so yeah, which is crazy.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
Wow, I forgot the draft.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (39:35):
Yeah, so he would have been like a year ahead
of you then, right.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
I played with him freshman year.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
I played.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
Yeah, I was on the team, so I had to
go against him every day because I was on scout team.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
So damn.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
Yeah, that's a big boy with six foot two fifty
something like that.

Speaker 7 (39:51):
He was.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
He was a low and I mean he was like
literally negative one percent body fat. Yeah, damn negative one
like bruh, like like like bruh, granite chisel. Anyway, let's
not gush over that. Uh, I want to I guess
I want to put a bow on it though. Uh,

(40:15):
you do know that Heartline is a pretty hot hot
topic and a hot candidate for certain jobs.

Speaker 5 (40:22):
How do you see that that?

Speaker 4 (40:24):
Maybe is that a game to watch a match up
to watch on Saturday as well?

Speaker 7 (40:30):
Yeah, I mean I think Heartline's gonna be a really
good head coach at some point, whether it's in college
in the NFL. Like, I think I could definitely see him,
you know, going to the pros at some point. You know,
but he's done a phenomenal job, like and you know,
if you're looking for like a high end recruiter, no one,
and the track record seeks for herself, right like all

(40:52):
the guys that have gone through that receiver room over
the last you know, five or six years. Like he
is a top of the line recruit or a really
good like tactician from a football standpoint, like I've I've
heard him toss football before. He's really really good in
that area, you know.

Speaker 8 (41:10):
And I think.

Speaker 7 (41:10):
Because he because he played, he's got like that level
of choice to him too, you know, like that I think,
you know, I think there's like there's this there's this
thing that I think only an ex player can bring
in in herd.

Speaker 8 (41:22):
Line because he's a really good NFL player can bring
that also.

Speaker 7 (41:24):
So at some point, I don't know if it'll be
you know, for you guys, le Barbara, at some point
he's gonna be a really good head guy.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
Do you think the stakes are too high for a
situation like this, Like I just keep hearing that to
make a decision on a guy who has all the
elements that you're speaking of, but no no real experience
as as a head coach. Do you feel like we're
at in this nil era, the transfer portal era, that

(41:52):
that bringing in a guy that doesn't have, you know,
the the experience is it is it too big of
a decision for a major university to go after a
guy like Heartline.

Speaker 7 (42:05):
I mean, I don't know. I like Brian Day didn't
have head coaching experience, you know what I mean, like
when he became the head coach there. You know, Sharan
Moore is the first time.

Speaker 8 (42:14):
Head coach at Michigan.

Speaker 7 (42:15):
Those are big programs, you know, we'll see. I think
this Cherry's still out on sharn Obviously Ryan's won a
national title. Uh, you know, And I do think like
the X player thing helps, you know what I mean,
Like I think the the sort of poll that will
have as a guy who played in the league would
certainly help bridge that gap. But but yeah, I mean

(42:35):
I think any I did the thing about it LeVar
And I don't cover college football, so I don't know
this is because I know the NFL. But like I
would say, I would say, like one thing I've definitely
observed is like, you know, in college football, it's going
to take more support staff in general, you know what
I mean than it used to. It doesn't matter who
you are, and so like those sorts of you know,

(42:58):
the coaching staff, the scouting staff, the college programs have
started to mirror pro football more than ever before. You know,
where you actually have guys like like Nick Polk was,
you know, a cap guy and an agent in the
NFL forever and now he's a GM at Florida, you
know what I mean, Like that's not even a scouting
guy like he was. He was on the cap side,

(43:19):
you know, you know, working in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
And so.

Speaker 7 (43:24):
I think that's sort of a sign of where a
lot of this is going. Where, you know, like college
programs are going to start are starting to get built
out and look.

Speaker 8 (43:32):
A lot more like NFL teams do.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio AB.
With the trade deadline coming up around the corner in
the NFL, what is the biggest name that could potentially
be moved?

Speaker 7 (43:47):
You know, I think there are a few, so I
would I would look at I would.

Speaker 8 (43:52):
I don't think a J.

Speaker 7 (43:53):
Brown is gonna get moose.

Speaker 14 (43:55):
I'll just put I'll put.

Speaker 7 (43:56):
That out there now. I think they'll get calls somebody
does something crazy. I mean, I guess he'd never say never,
but like I I just I could see the Eagles
trading him in the offseason. I don't think they'll do
it in season.

Speaker 14 (44:09):
When they don't have.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
To wear with all the to replace him in here
and the now.

Speaker 8 (44:14):
So I would look at teams like the Jets.

Speaker 7 (44:17):
You know, I think Jermaine Johnson could be had. I
don't think they trade will McDonald, Quincy Williams their linebacker.
You know, somebody who I think you could you could
wind up pulling away from there. And Bristol is another one.
The price tag has gone up on him of late,
and he is on an expiring deal, but he'd be one.
The Dolphins, I think you're looking at their edge rushers,

(44:37):
and you know, would you be able to pry Bradley
Chubb or Jalen Phillips for there? From there, I think
for the right price, either of those guys could be available.
You know, Like Cleveland's interesting. I think Cleveland, you know, like,
I don't think they'll trade Ah, they won't trade Miles Garrett.

(44:58):
I don't think they'll trade Ward. But if you need
a lineman like they've got Joe Antonio and Wyatt Keller,
and you know, certainly they're building towards next year, you know,
And then I think, you know, like looking at the
Raiders as another team has sort of fallen out of it.
You know, they've gotten calls on Jackson Powers. Johnson an

(45:20):
offensive lineman. Michael Mayer's gotten some interest. I don't think
they want to move him, but he's certainly gotten some interest.

Speaker 8 (45:28):
And so that's the level.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
Of name that you'd be talking about. Though I don't
think you're going to see any sort of like, oh
my god, I can't believe this happened right before the
trade deadline. But I think it's sort of a normal
year when it comes to stuff where you're gonna have
some guys that are either older or nearing the end
of the rookie deals that could wind up being on
the move.

Speaker 6 (45:49):
Albert, we've got to I want to say a big
one tonight, but I guess almost like a survival of
the fittest between the Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
Baltimore doesn't not much room for air.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
Looking at the Dolphins and at what point during the
season giving out things have gone.

Speaker 5 (46:06):
And I know they had a nice win versus Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (46:09):
I think I said Cleveland in an earlier segment, but
Atlanta their last game out is there still pressure on
Mike McDaniel at some point where you feel like he
could be the head coach that that ends up getting
clipped here with the with the way things have gone,
They've obviously got a three game homestand that's coming up
before they're by But do you get the sense of

(46:29):
that if things go really poorly tonight and maybe even
the following week, that there could be something coming.

Speaker 8 (46:36):
I mean, I feel like that.

Speaker 7 (46:38):
I feel like it's possible. You know, I don't think
the owner wants to make a move in season. I
think the big question is going to be and I
think this is like kind of something that they're going
to be monitoring over the next month, is because he
still has the locker room, and there have been points
when that's been tenuous over the first two months of
the season, whether or not that team is still locked.

Speaker 8 (47:01):
In with him, and you know, like this is one of.

Speaker 7 (47:05):
Those standalone games. And then I don't know if you
looked at where they're at before the bye, but they're
in there in Madrid and that's another standalone game, and
so like these that dynamic like that shouldn't make a difference.

Speaker 8 (47:23):
You know what I mean, But a lot of times
it does.

Speaker 7 (47:25):
Where you know, an owner doesn't like being you know,
embarrassed on national television in front of everybody. And so
like we've seen Stephen rossy that before. I believe they
were coming back from London when Joe Filden got fired
and they made Dan Campbell I'm the interim coach, probably
ten years ago now, So like Steve Ross, the owner's

(47:46):
done that before.

Speaker 8 (47:48):
So I certainly think there's.

Speaker 7 (47:49):
A possibility that it happens at some point between now
and the end of the year.

Speaker 8 (47:55):
You know, I know that.

Speaker 7 (47:56):
They're cognizant of of of the job security rush and
going into the trade deadline, and I think ownership is
going to have his fun on whatever happens between now
and Tuesday.

Speaker 8 (48:07):
And to make sure that that doesn't affect.

Speaker 7 (48:10):
The way that anything on the roster is managed.

Speaker 8 (48:12):
And you know, I do think that the.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
Other element here is you've got Anthony Weaver, who's incredibly
well thought of, who you know, the locker room loves.

Speaker 8 (48:22):
If you're the owner, do you.

Speaker 7 (48:24):
Want to get you know, a six to eight game
run with Anthony Weaver as your head coach, just to
see if maybe he is worth hiring as a full
time head coach.

Speaker 8 (48:34):
In twenty twenty six that could be a factor as well.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Maybe you wrote about Miles Garrett potentially being one of
those those trade options and kind of talked about reasons why.
I wonder do you do you look at what took
place with Michael Parsons and how that was handled and say,
maybe it doesn't seem so outlandish at this point to

(48:58):
consider a building of you know, the reasoning that Jerry
Jones gave the building of your roster and trying to
move it forward and being able to utilize a player
of the value of like a Michael Parson's and in
this case a Moles Garrett. Like what's the like, what's
the probability of that type of of of approach.

Speaker 5 (49:23):
Well, let me start here.

Speaker 7 (49:24):
I don't think it's gonna happen, Okay, So I'll just
say that flat out.

Speaker 8 (49:27):
Like I don't think it's gonna happen, but I think
it should.

Speaker 7 (49:29):
And I here's the reason why.

Speaker 5 (49:32):
I think.

Speaker 7 (49:32):
I think Miles is a dynamite player. He's headed for
Canton one of the best pass prushures, not not just
this era, I think of any era. So like, it's
very hard, it's very hard to find a player like that,
and generally when you have a player like that, you
don't let them go.

Speaker 8 (49:49):
That said, I just look at where Cleveland's.

Speaker 7 (49:53):
At now and what they've done to hit the reset
button over the last year. The reasoning behind trades a
second overall pick back in April was because they took
an honest look in the mirror and said, we're not
one player away. We need to get younger across the board,
we need to infuse a bunch of different positions with
new talent, and so we're going to use the second

(50:15):
pick as a chip to build towards the future. And
it works to a large degree if you look at
like their rookie class, like they're getting a lot of
contributions from that group. Mason Graham, Carson Schwasinger might be
the defensive rookie of the year when John Judkins are
really good back for them, Harold Fannin's a nice weapon.

Speaker 8 (50:33):
So like they've.

Speaker 7 (50:34):
Started that process. Miles Garrett turns thirty in December.

Speaker 8 (50:40):
So my question is, like, based on where.

Speaker 7 (50:43):
You're at and they're rebuild, can you get good enough
fast enough for Miles Garrett to be a factor with
your rebuild team or your rebuilt team. Let's just say,
for argument's sake, they draft a quarterback this year, and
then that player becomes what Drake May is now in
New England or what Jayden Daniels is in Washington in
his second year, which would be twenty twenty seven, right,

(51:06):
So by then maybe you're ready to compete for a
playoff spot. And Miles Garrett is thirty two. So then
you go in a year after that, now you're ready
to really get aggressive and maybe compete for a championship.
Miles Garrett is thirty three. So like, I just look
at this as like the timelines don't really match up.
And I think if you move Miles Garrett now versus

(51:29):
two years from now, you're going to get a lot
more for him. You could get two first round picks,
you know, multiple Day two picks on top of that,
I mean, you could really kick your rebuild into high gear.

Speaker 8 (51:41):
And so like, I just like, look at this situation.

Speaker 7 (51:43):
Guys, Miles is a great player, and I look at
it as what's best for the player and what's best
for the team, And I.

Speaker 8 (51:51):
Actually think it sort of matches up now.

Speaker 7 (51:54):
Where like maybe the best thing for everyone involved is
for Miles to be traded. I don't think it's going
to hapen, and I don't think the sign off on that.
I just don't think that. I don't think that's on
the radar right now, but I.

Speaker 8 (52:06):
Think it should be because I think this is like
the end of the window.

Speaker 7 (52:10):
Where you can get that sort of return for him,
And like, I just i'd be concerned if I were
the Browns that, like, you're gonna be sort of getting
closer to the end with Miles Garrett, when you've got
the rebuild where you want to have it and you're
you're ready to compete again.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB,
We have one last question for you, Like, just in
looking at this, you know, just throwing a random, random
number out here, it's kind of like, yeah, well that's
totally hypothetical. But do you think at the end of
the Penn State Ohio State game this Saturday that Ohio

(52:47):
State will have won the game by more than twenty
one points?

Speaker 7 (52:50):
If you had to guess, I certainly hope so, because
I'll be getting ready for kickoff and Chestnut Hill at
that point. But yeah, I would the Buck eyes and
again like that's all. That's what all due respect for
to to to Gruckemeyer, who I think uh has a
chance to to go out there and.

Speaker 8 (53:10):
Make some people look dumb.

Speaker 7 (53:12):
And there's a there's tower in that. But uh, I
would say, Ohio State wins this one.

Speaker 8 (53:18):
And what is also, by the way, the.

Speaker 7 (53:19):
Jim Knowles but the revenge game against Jim Knowles. Yeah, yeah,
I would go thirty four to fourteen Buckeyes. Is that
right the number?

Speaker 5 (53:29):
Yeah? You actually like Penn State covering? Then yeah, that's not.

Speaker 7 (53:34):
You know what, you know what, LeVar, just because I
love y'all, give Keenn State the cover?

Speaker 2 (53:37):
How about that thirty four?

Speaker 4 (53:38):
Wow, don't do me no charity work. We're good over here.
We're they're going to play their hearts out.

Speaker 8 (53:44):
But we're good.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Yeah, but I mean house, Yeah, you guys, but you.

Speaker 8 (53:48):
Guys are gonna try a sneak heart line on the
plane going back.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
That's that's well.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
I don't know about all that, but I'm just saying
like you might need to be paying attention to the
real game that's taking place versus the game on the field,
as I don't know that to be certain. I'm just talking.

Speaker 5 (54:03):
But you know, I do.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Hear a lot of positive things about Heartline, so.

Speaker 7 (54:10):
That would be good.

Speaker 8 (54:10):
That would be a good hire for you guys.

Speaker 7 (54:13):
So we'll see it.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
By the way, didn't the Heartline open up like a
drive through liquor store in Ohio?

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Most positive stores are.

Speaker 7 (54:21):
Popular in Ohio.

Speaker 8 (54:22):
That was a revelation for me as an eighteen year
old when.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
I moved there.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
Well, why you can't drink to your twenty one? Albert?

Speaker 7 (54:30):
Well, I mean you were, you were in the car,
a what was the revelation?

Speaker 5 (54:36):
You're just looking out the window.

Speaker 7 (54:37):
Back then, I will say there was probably less villain
vigilance about that stuff in the state of Ohio.

Speaker 5 (54:44):
A fake idea.

Speaker 7 (54:45):
Yeah, there were some places where you didn't even need one,
you know, where you kind of where you could just
kind of wipe the X on your hand, go to
the bathroom and just walk.

Speaker 6 (54:57):
Albert, you still have a baby face today, like you
probably get carted.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
Still, are you telling me?

Speaker 6 (55:03):
Like people at eighteen looked at you and they're like, oh, yeah,
he's above twenty one.

Speaker 7 (55:07):
Oh no, I mean, like I'm just saying, like back then,
like they would draw an X on your on your
hand if you were between eighteen and twenty one, and
and you just washed that thing right off and you'd
be good to go.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
But enforcement back then, good move, gotcha?

Speaker 14 (55:21):
Good move?

Speaker 8 (55:22):
I mean, I know, I mean, I can, I can.

Speaker 7 (55:25):
The place is gone now, which is a tragedy. But
I mean, I'm sure Brady had been to twos at
some point back in the day.

Speaker 5 (55:33):
That the one doesn't ring a bell. Two's really no? No?

Speaker 8 (55:40):
Huh?

Speaker 6 (55:41):
Well, okay, First off, I'm not willing to divulge any
of this information for a couple of reasons, the first
being if there was a place where this sort of
activity went on, I wouldn't want to ruin it for
today's kids, right, So.

Speaker 14 (55:52):
Well, no, but it's gone.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Who Two's is gone now?

Speaker 5 (55:55):
So well, that place might be.

Speaker 6 (55:56):
But I'm saying there's others out there that I believe,
I'm aware of what you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (56:00):
Oh well, yeah, I didn't know that existed. I didn't
think that existed anymore. I would have thought somebody would
have cracked down on that. But maybe not.

Speaker 5 (56:09):
Oh man, that looks for that younger demographic there.

Speaker 7 (56:14):
I'm not trying to ruin it for a nineteen year
old out there.

Speaker 6 (56:18):
Interesting, Well, well, go Irish, enjoy Notre Dame being in
Boston College this this weekend.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Yeah, all right, appreciate get him.

Speaker 5 (56:25):
On, actually enjoy it. Enjoyed Alberto Irish.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
There, he is the great Albage here with us here
on Fox Sports.

Speaker 5 (56:31):
Does he going like begrudgingly to that game? It feels
like he's being dragged along to it.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
I think it was eventually it was his son's birthday
last week or something like that, I think.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
And that's what they want to do, is son's a
Notre Dame fan.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
Apparently a football game taking him and all his friends
do a football game.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
It's fun
