Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:32):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh, good morning, welcome
in here. What a horrible approach. We will get to
this momentially.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
We are broadcasting live from the tirack dot com studios.
Ti iraq dot com will help get you there at
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection you know,
for ten thousand recommended installers tirac dot com Way tired
buying should be Okay, the uh, the horrible approach. In
a second, excited to do the show with Plexico Buris
(01:10):
here will get hooked up in the not too distant future.
You know, but you got you got a heavy dose
of no right now, got heavy dose of the noster. Okay,
So a couple of things on my mind. One, how
Justin Cooper is just a you know what he's like,
(01:30):
He's like an NBA superstar that's tweeting about the dunk contest.
So I'll get to that momentarily here. First things first, though, yes,
I know that requires some explanation, But first things first
is that Dion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffalo's
(01:52):
football team. He has an approach that is so bad.
I I don't even know what to compare it to. Like,
I'm just thinking you could go in different directions like
bad songs, bad food, bad people. You know, you maybe
do a comparison that his approach here, he's he's not
(02:15):
doing any recruiting as far as making trips. Colorado confirmed
that Dion Sanders made no recruiting trips. He made no
in home or off campus visits this offseason. He didn't
do it last year. Doesn't seem like he's going to
(02:36):
do it this year. Coach Prime's actual quote is I'm
not doing that. I'm not doing that. That's no, not
gonna do it. No, thank you, just not no. Not
for me not doing that. This is what's wild to me.
First things first is if you have anything critical to say,
(03:00):
especially about someone like Dion Sanders, who has a fair
share of unreasonable haters. Right, that's the truth. There are
a lot of unreasonable haters when it comes to Coach Prime,
and they say a lot of unreasonable, wacky things. And
so if you're the next person who has something negative
(03:21):
to say, you're automatically grouped in with the wacko haters.
You know, you might have something legitimate to point out
that's critical in nature, but all of a sudden, shoulder
to shoulder with someone who said something way, way worse
and maybe personal and maybe stupid. You know, your shoulder
to shoulder, you're basically the same person. You know, that's
(03:41):
how it goes. But this is how you can tell
if someone's being biased or not. If someone's truly being biased,
if they say something about one person but then don't
say anything close to the same thing about another person
when the situation is basically the same, Right, that's when
(04:03):
you can tell someone is biased. So with Coach Prime,
if instead of him, it's another head coach. If this
is Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame, I'm from South Bend.
I'm in South Bend right now. After a funeral yesterday
that I'll give you a few details, but I'm back
in my hometown right now. If Marcus Freeman at Notre
(04:26):
Dame didn't make any recruiting trips this year, I'd be like,
what's he doing? If Dabosweeney at Clemson didn't make any
recruiting trips, I'd say what's he doing? If Eddie of
the top coaches at the top programs didn't make any
recruiting trips, I'd be like, did they have surgery? Can
(04:49):
they not do it? Are they unable? At Why would
you not do that? So that's the first part of this.
If someone is critical of coach Prime for not making
recruiting trips, no in home or off campus visits, as
long as that person would say the same thing about
(05:09):
someone else, well, then you can tell that person is
not being biased. So that's where I'm at with this.
I would say the same thing about other head coaches
taking the same approach, which is not taking a plane anywhere.
I feel like, what are they doing? The coach Prime's
whole identity and approach is I ain't hard to find.
(05:34):
It's on his sweatshirts, right. It's basically saying to recruits, hey,
come find me I'm easy to track down here, you know,
like you hit me up, and it's like, that's not
how recruiting works, man, you gotta roll out the red carpet.
You've got to pursue it's like dating, you know, unless
(05:58):
you've just got it like that and people are just
coming up to you like, hey, hey, are you busy?
You know what, how about a shoulder massage later tonight?
You know, unless people are just coming up to you
and offering things, you've got to pursue them. Unless you've
got like fame, money, good looks, whatever, and you've got
(06:20):
people just after you, constantly after you, just hounding you, well,
then you have to do the recruiting when it comes
to dating. That's all it is. You're just if you're
a guy and you want to date women, you're recruiting
women right. You're reaching out to them, you're texting them,
you're sending messages. The same thing in college football recruiting.
(06:41):
So for coach Prime, he had a well decorated football career.
We all know that he is a very well known
head coach. He draws a lot of attention. All of
those things are true, but he's not being hounded by
four and five star recruits where coach Brian picks up
(07:04):
his phone and there are just, you know, twenty seven
new voicemails. Hey coach Brian, I'm a five star quarterback.
I love to come play at Colorado. Hit me back, Hey,
Coach Prime, I am a five star defensive vent. I'd
love to be a buff. Hit me back. You know,
it's not like that they've had bad recruiting classes recently,
(07:27):
and yet the same approach exists where now I'm not
doing that in recruiting, you need to approach the players
instead of expecting the players to approach you. I just
I don't understand why this would be his whole approach
and his mindset. It blows my mind. If you're trying
to be one of the top programs and one of
(07:50):
the top teams in college football, you gotta go seek
the players instead of just like, what does he do?
Just check his voicemails? All right, let's see Wednesday, February nineteenth. Okay,
no messages, that's not good, right, I just don't even understand.
(08:13):
So this was before National Signing Day on February fifth, right,
and that's where Colorado they confirmed they recently have confirmed
earlier in February that coach prime Nope, no in home
or off campus recruiting visits, didn't do that wild to me.
(08:34):
Don't understand it. Your thoughts more than welcome. You can
hit me up on X I say like that, like,
what is it? Will Ferrell? And Anchorman? You know where
it's a question at the end, I'm what's his man?
I just had a brain freeze. I don't know if
(08:55):
I'm gonna make it through this show. I'm just be
honest with you. There's low on sleep. What's his name?
Total brain freeze in Anchorman? What's Will Ferrell's character in Anchorman?
What's it called? You too?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I've only seen the movie once when I was like thirteen.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Okay, so that's what we're working with here? Is that's it?
I'm Ron Burgundy. You know because there was a question
mark on the teleprompter. That's me right now. You know
that that's me speaking to you live right now at
this moment.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Do you know who I am?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, I can't say that I do.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't know how to put this, but.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I'm kind of a big deal.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Really.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
People know me.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
People know you Brian.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You know what's funny, Lorena. That is the perfect SoundBite
to just encapsulate what's going on at College Dorado. Right,
Dion Sanders is Will Ferrell an anchorman, and the recruits
are what's her name, Christina Applegate? Is that it? The
(10:12):
recruits are her? Right? Like Dion Sanders like, I don't
know how to put this kind of a big deal,
A big deal, bro right, And then the recruits, Yeah,
they're like, uh, well that's great, that's that's cool for you.
I'm gonna go to Ohio State now, coach Prime, So
(10:35):
how do you not think the players? It's unbelievable. I
I don't get it at all, and I don't I
don't know, I really I don't see. Here's the thing
with sports radio. I love doing this from time to time.
(10:55):
I love at least considering the other position. Yeah, you well,
it's easy to understand my position. How are you a
college coach at a major school at a power for
conference and you're not doing in home or off campus visits?
How how is that even possible? So what's the other
(11:16):
side of that? I can't even build a legitimate argument
as to oh, no, it makes sense.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
He's himp.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
He's with this generation, nobody likes to even talk on
their phone, let alone meet in person.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
So you know, all the recruiting trips are you know,
through like you know, FaceTime.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Okay, we're all we're doing FaceTime. No in person. You
know parents who are from a different generation, well, sometimes
they prefer in home, you know what I mean. Sometimes
that goes a long way snooty in home off campus.
You think parents are as like, oh, let me talk
to coach Prime on apchat. I'd much rather do that
(12:01):
than face to face. You think that's a a parental
h that's a that's there.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Right old enough now to the point where the parents
are from that generation or not quite.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You know what's crazy is it? Not quite but not
that far away, not that far removed.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
My child is twelve, and I feel like that would
be me who would do.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Something like that with what you would be so like, yeah,
I'd be like, oh, let's just use let's just use
the media or something along the way.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Twelve is still a good you know, just six years
away from being like recruited or you know, like five years.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, but think about this to Larina, which would go
further for you Okay, let's say you're twelve year old.
It's a football just outstanding player, you know.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Good, skilled, talented, ready to go off and beat everyone.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
That's right, take on the world. Old has the Lorena jeans,
you know, doing work nice. It's a problem in football,
you know, would you, as a parent, prefer coach prime
saying hey, how about three o'clock for a snapchat call?
Or would you prefer your son is so outstanding, I
(13:19):
would prefer to make my way to southern California to
meet with you and him in person, like which goes further.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Obviously, the more personable approach. You want them to come
over and you know, acknowledge everything in person and really
have that moment.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
But that's just not what the world is these days.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It's right, it's you.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Can't even have someone come knock on your front door
without you being like, why is there someone close to
my house? People don't like it anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Well, but in college recruiting it's still different.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
It's not as if this is a common trend. It's
not as if, I'll put it this way, this is
never going to be a common trend. Okay, it's never
gonna be You're never going to see like we're talking
right now, and like, let's say the next three to
five years, I don't know what's gonna happen. You might
have in person, you know, meetings that are so virtual
(14:07):
it's like being there, I don't know what the future is.
Get let's say three to five years. There's no way
this becomes a common trend where Ryan Day at Ohio
State is like, you know, it's working for coach Prime.
The heck within home visits, I'm not going to any campuses.
Screw that. Oh no, no way, no way is that
going to be a common practice.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
You can't lose that.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
No, you can't. Not in college recruiting. You can't. I mean,
other ways of life, maybe you can cut some corners,
but you're not gonna cut corners in college recruiting. And
that's the other thing. If Dion Sanders showed, hey, I've
got a top three recruiting class, you'd be like, well, wow, okay,
(14:48):
maybe Coach Prime doesn't need to do it unless you
show that, unless you show one of the top recruiting classes.
It's like, yeah, I think you kind of need to
do the invisit thing, Like you need to do the
in home off SAMPS thing. So until he shows those
type of credentials, I will stand on I will stand
on that standing on business here to start off the show,
(15:09):
all we got plenty to do. I gotta get to
how Justin Cooper is just like an NBA superstar. Okay,
that sounds flattering. It's not flattering at all. Just to
give you a sneak peek here, I would be Justin Cooper.
I will be bashing the great Justin Cooper here relatively soon,
(15:29):
you can tell, you know, I'm taking a critical approach
here for the first couple of segments. You know, if
it if it needs to be said, if someone's got
to be critical, I'm willing to be that guy. Willing
to be that guy. So we'll get to that momentarily.
I'm Brian no and for two pros and a cup
of Joe, hopefully Plaxico bursts on the way. Excited to
(15:50):
work with plax You know, I want to pick his
gambling brain. You know you might not think, hey, gambling
Toxico Burst, you know, like sports handicapper. But how about
this Tom Brady, he made an interesting comment. It's perfect
for Plexico Buris today. Luka Doncic. There are some details
(16:12):
about him maybe not being on a pitch count, maybe
not being on a minute count. You know, so you've
heard of bet MGM, right, how about bet p l
A X. Have you heard of bett plax? You haven't
heard about that? It exists. It's perfect to pick his
gambling brain. So hopefully we'll be able to do that
(16:33):
with some of Luca's numbers. As the NBA is back
from a week all Star break, you know, they're back
from a week product over the weekend, which goes hand
and hand with the next topic, getting to how Coop
is a little bit like an NBA superstar that is
on the way. It is two Pros and a Cup
of Joe. I'm Brian no in for the guys here

Speaker 8 (17:39):
Well, it was the only time I ever went, but
I went to warp Tour. I guess that was as
close as I ever got. And I went up into
the front right and I was wearing sandals. I was
wearing sandals, and.
Speaker 3 (17:50):

sink over in like the food area.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
It was a mess. Everyone's like, why would you wear
sandals into a wash pit?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I just didn't understand what really happened in there, And
now you won't find me near one.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, well, you know what you need to we need
to get you some steel toed boots facts first thing.
We need that, and we needed to get you on
a real tour.
Speaker 10 (18:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's like you know metal. Who was at the Warped Tour?
Who or somebody? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Some of the headliners were three oh three.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
It says anything three like three oh three, different than
three eleven. Touch me?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Whow?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Okay, all right, so this is not quite metal.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
No, but it was about as close as we could get.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Okay, I'm looking at the I'm looking at the axe
over here real fast. Let's see.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Warped Tour was like two thousand and eleven, probably two.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Thousand, okay, twenty eleven Warped Tour lineup here. All right,
let's see if you remember some of these acts. O good,
like this? All right, what do we got going over here?
We've got that's like I don't even know Kia. Kevin says, stage.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah, I've got it went for my man, It wasn't for.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Me, okay, all right, yeah, gosh, all right. We got
all these different stages.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Paramore, hmmm, that was cool, Street Dogs, there was two
years August Burns Red, there was.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
The uh wow, goodness. We got all oh the skull
Candy stage and we.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Got lost for like the first two hours. His sister
is dyslexic and she put in the wrong address. We
went to the totally wrong side of town.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Wow, there were a million acts at this thing.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
It's huge. You can't even see all the acts because
there's so many going on at the same time.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
How many songs did they play? They played three songs
and say, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
No, they have a whole bunch of different stages, so
they all had like full lineup, still.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Dance, having dance.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
It's this does not sound very metal. Lorraina polling for.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Soup, bowling for metal.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
No, it's not stopping, you know, it's not.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
As close as I got.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Has never been metal.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah, it's a little a little different than metal, but
I would assume that mosh bits could still sort of happen.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
It's like soft core metal, right, Like, it's not as
like as hard as what you guys listen to.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
It's not Pantera, but.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's kind of like metal.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I'm trying to find. It's the heaviest act on here.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, I know, but just like totally alternative. You know,
it's like we're metal, but with ninety nine percent alternative flavor.
You know, that's kind of what this seems like. But
uh hey, the toenail got ripped off, that's the same
thing as any regular Uh oh, while they were in Hillsborough.
I lived in that area.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
That's where it was.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Yeah, are you serious?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, Hillsboro Portland area, that's.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Where you went. Yeah, that's crazy. Wow, Yeah, I lived.
I lived in Hillsboro. That's where I lived when I
worked there. That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I stayed there?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Did you stay there when I wasn't there? Coop? Just like,
what's going to happen here pretty soon? Vegas?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Well no, I mean I I literally stayed at your apartment.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That would happen.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Yeah, But yeah, and but you weren't there.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
You just made sure you invite, you invited, I wasn't.
I didn't just show up. You invited me to stay there.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
I was in Portland, Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Like, well, we're supposed to go to a rage concert
and then COVID hit and I don't even remember what
happened this time you're talking about, Coop? Was I like, yeah,
come on through, dude, anytime you know I was.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I was driving up to Portland on a road trip,
and I guess you just happened to be out of
town when I was going to be there.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Oh wow, man, I hardly even remember this.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, and you let h oh she was my girlfriend
at the time, but my wife and I stay there
for the couple of days that we were in town.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, that's hilarious. Wow, Okay, nice was it like? Because
I had two different places, not at the same time,
but there was a townhouse and then there was like
a househouse. Was it the second one?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
It was?
Speaker 9 (22:21):
It was the townhouse because there was like, okay, I
remember smoking a ball out on the balcony.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh man, that is.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's hysterical, man, that that's such a trip because I
was still married at the time. You know, I was
in the townhouse and I don't know where we went,
but wow, that's fun. I totally forgot about that. She
crashed at the place and we never crossed paths. That's
it's wild. I don't know how we even worked that out,
(23:00):
left a key somewhere or whatever. Wow, craziness. Okay, So
this is this is the new part of that. Now,
let me set this up first where it's talking about
the NBA and I will I will weave coop in Okay.
So the first part of this story is that NBA
players are just teasing us. So the dunk contest was
(23:22):
last Saturday, right just a few weeks, a few days ago,
where Mac McClung did his thing. He won the Slam
Dunk Contest for a third straight year. And then later
that night it started where John Morant was the first
superstar to tweet mac might make might make me decide
to dunk. So John Morant is he's getting inspiration from
(23:45):
Mac McClung. You know, he's watching Mac do his thing,
and he's like, you know what, I might have to
enter the chat. I might have to enter this dunk
contest over here. And then it went from there. John
Morant hits up Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon, two past
dunkers that put on great events. John Morant tweets Zach
(24:06):
and a g what's up? You know, Like, what do
you guys want to enter this too? Am I gonna
be the only superstar? We're gonna get some high flyers here.
So I bring this up because just yesterday Aaron Gordon
responded and his response was I still got some S word,
meaning like he's still got some great dunks. He's got
(24:29):
some high flying dunks up his sleeves still, so he's
teasing us. You also had Yannis right after John Morant
initially tweeted, mac might make me decide to dunk, Yiannis tweeted,
if you do it, I'll do it with you with
a one hun emoji, Like, here's the thing. These stars,
(24:54):
these named players. You know, John Moran is a superstar,
Giannis is a superstar. Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon those
are all star caliber players. They are names. These are
all names. Anybody with a name that's tweeting about maybe
entering the dunk contest is basically the NBA equivalent of
(25:16):
a stripper. That's really what's going on here, because what's
the common ground. It's just teasing you, that's all it is.
Like a stripper is just like, hey, hey, look at it.
It's here's the right elbow and you're like, oh wow,
and that's no more, no more, no touching, get away,
you know, just just teasing. That's what NBA names are doing.
(25:39):
John Morant like I might have to enter this thing.
Aaron Gordon like I still got some stuff, still got
some tricks up my sleeve, Yannis. I'll tell you this.
You're not gonna see any of these names in the
Dunk Contest next year. How do I know this? Because
this is what always happens. This is what the Dunk
Contest has been reduced to. It's just names talking about
(26:02):
maybe entering and then not entering. How long has this
been happening? Lebron used to do this. Lebron was like, Hey,
maybe I should entered, Maybe maybe I should Hey never entered,
Like this has been common practice for quite some time.
I would like to give new stripper nicknames to these players.
(26:23):
Let's see, We've got Cinnamon Morant. That's his new, uh
new nickname, Cinnamon Morant. Let's go with Diamond. It's a
great stripper name, Diamond, Adetta Kumbo, and I'm just gonna
go Coco Gordon. I'll go Coco right there. You know,
any like any good stripper names off the top of
(26:44):
your head, Cooper, Lorena, what's a good what's a decent
stripper name you have? Anything to?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
My brother's girlfriend was Cookie.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Cookie. That's a good one. Cookie Levine, How's that? I
kind of like that. It's a good nickname right there,
because that's what's happening. These NBA named players. They are
just teasing us, just like a stripper would do. That's
what's going on. So don't for a second get fired
(27:10):
up for this as if it's going to happen. You're
just holding you know what, you're the NBA fan that's
a young kid sitting on the front porch waiting for
the deadbeat dad to pick them up, to go to
the mall or do something fun, go get ice cream,
and the dad is just not going to show up.
You know, I hate to be the voice of reason.
(27:33):
I'm just trying to prepare you for the letdown. That's
all I'm doing. You know, I'm not trying to suck
the fun. I'm just preparing you for the letdown. Because
anybody that's like, hey, hey you see X, you see
Twitter here, We've got cham Morant, we got zach Lavine,
Aaron Gordon, we might have Giachnis there, baby, look at
all these names. We might have like ten dudes that
(27:54):
are stars or all star caliber players in the dunk contest. No,
you're not gonna have any There's gonna be zero, nah da,
because that's what always happens. For whatever reason. It's cool
to just tweet about maybe entering the dunk contest, and
then what comes time to actually enter it? You just say, nah,
I'm good if you don't do it. Now Coop has
(28:21):
not gone quite to these lengths here, But how Coop
is comparable to this? So Coop he says, Hey, I
might might head out to Vegas this weekend, you know,
And I'm like, great, this is a long story. I'll
try not to bore you with all the details, but
(28:41):
I've been out in Vegas with my girlfriend for the
last two or three months. We leave on Monday, just
a few days from now, because we have to drive
back to Indiana because my young nephew is getting married. Right,
it's a whole the thing why we're driving and going
from point A to point B. I'm not gonna bore
you with the details, but we're leaving on Monday, and
(29:04):
the way my life is, I have no idea where
it's going from that point on. Not at home for
like a week for the wedding, and then I work
remotely for Fox Sports Radio, you know, So I'm just
here there wherever. Like we were in New Orleans for
a couple of months, we were in Portland, for a
(29:25):
couple of months. I was cleaning out a storage unit.
We've been in Vegas for a few months. We've been
all over the place for a few months. So I
have no idea where it's headed to after this wedding
in Indiana. Technically it's in Michigan, but whatever, it's back
in my home area. I don't know where. So before
(29:47):
the show, Coop was like, hey, booked my ticket. I'm like, oh, yeah, great,
it's gonna work out after all. I'm like a you know,
like I'm ready for Christmas morning, you know, I'm like, oh,
presence today, let's go. And he's like, yeah, it's in
like June for the World Series of Poker. Well that's great.
(30:09):
I don't know where I'll be at that. So yeah,
it's you're kind of like Cookie, Cookie Lorena. You know,
it's let's see what other stripper names here?
Speaker 6 (30:24):
What else was Mercedes?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
If I was a stripper, I would go to Vegas
for that.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Yeah, well people do it, that's true, to get a
special license to strip in Vegas. Really, it's called like
your Sheriff's card or something like that.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Oh really, wow, what a cool name. Sheriffs.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I like when I see the strippers flying back to
LA What do you think of.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
This stripper name? Mercedes Cooper? Huh, just teasing without following
for sure, I let.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Off with that. I booked my World Series of Poker trip.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Man.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
No, You're like, I booked my trip to Vegas. That's
my flight to Vegas. And I'm like, okay, cool because
I left this part out. Coop and Lorena they're like, hey,
what do you think about maybe a Vegas trip. I'm
trying to convince my wife all of us will go there.
And I'm like, yeah, perfect, my last weekend in Vegas.
It'll work out great. And that is the last I
(31:18):
know until this morning where it's like, booked my trip
to Vegas and I'm like, oh, nice, all right, so
it's a green light yeah in June. Yeah, Mercedes Cooper,
what what's your what's your your stripper name? There?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Lorena, what do you want it to be? What's a
good one right there? I don't know if I give
away your last name, you might not want it. Maybe
you just want one kind of like prince, you know,
you just want one name. You don't Queen of the.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Does it have to be something like?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I like that because it's it's different. Know it stands
out say the.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Other one that came to my mind, but it has
to do with flowers.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Let's just leave it there. Okay, all right, that's what
we got working. Uh, we got Mercedes Cooper and Queen
of the Pole. Can't you hear the DJ saying that
right now, Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for
a Queen of the pool. And there's a lorrain of
doing the thing. There's still time, Coop, still time to
(32:28):
live life, you know, make a trip off.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
The book it Coop still could and then I have
my you know, it was my idea to come out
there just so you know, yeah, because I want White Castle.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah see, and you're just ruining dreams out here with
your with your poker.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
I need to save for the world series.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I don't know if you want to reveal the reasons
why you need to save Coop, you can leave that
on the shelf if you would like.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
But I lost a lot of money playing poker.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah yeah, So Coop was chasing straights and flushes, and
now what seemed to be the trip of trips, just
a jolly good time, has turned into I gotta save.
I got it.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
We would have had the best time we.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Would have and now all we can do is talk
about the time we would have had, which we never had.
You know what I mean, That's what it's reduced to.
Good job, Coop, good job. Way to go all in
with ten to three off suit. I'm sorry, this is
(33:36):
all your fault, all right? Feel free to check in.
You can always hit me up on Twitter at the
No Show Noe Show if you would like to. Oh,
I see real fast here, let me steak in a call.
Is Marco still there in Charlotte? Love to hear from Marco?
He wants to talk about Deon Sanders laid out the story, Marco,
(33:57):
Welcome to the Fox Sports Radio. What are your thoughts here? Man,
I'm curious.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
What's something?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Man?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
How you doing good? But well, I got another thing
I want to talk about too, But we can talk
about prom first. I was gonna say, man, is it
is odd what he's doing? But my thought process is
there's no way he's doing that without having a plan.
Like he definitely has a plan behind it. And if
you remember this year in the NFL when a bunch
(34:21):
of teams were looking for head coaches, didn't they do
zoom a lot with a lot of those coaches. Did
they meet all those coaches in person? I think they
did a lot of zoom videos. I think Kellen Moore
did a zoom video with the Saints for that job. So,
I mean, I don't think that's like out as a
question for somebody to do. I mean, professional teams are
doing it well. I couldn't be undo it. I hear you.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
But it's not the same thing, right, Like you're recruiting
a player to go to your university, think about like
other schools doing in person, and you're running the risk
of losing that player because you're not going the extra mile.
And it's just yeah, right, like it's that player, it's
that family, Like Kellen Moore, it's just just Kellen Moore.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
You know, Like, yeah, I get that for sure. Just
trying to, you know, provide a different way you're thinking
about it, maybe you know. But also this is one
thing I've been I've been hearing everywhere and I've been
thinking about a lot lately. It's like, especially on FSR,
like I really to the point I'm like, why do
(35:23):
any of the shows even talk about the NBA Because
it's like it seems like, all, y'all hate it. Y'all
hate the NBA.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
So I love the I watched the NBA every day, Mark, y'all.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Talking about it for for the listeners and for You're like, oh,
because it seems like every time I hear about the
NBA on Fox Sports is just bashing it, bashing it,
bashing it. Like the only person who gives like actual
analysis is Dan Patrick. He's the only one that's like
fair and stuff. But everybody else is just like completely
bashing the NBA. So like, I'm like, then, why do
y'all even talk about it?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Like, well, listen, I'll bash the dunk contest. That's not
bashing the NBA. I watch the NBA every day. I
love the NBA, So no, I'm.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Not too as somebody who loves it, though, is like
I don't have anything to listen to anymore about it
because every show is staying the same thing. Well, hey, like,
all right, why do I want to hear that all day? Well?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I hear you, but some of it is Draymond like,
some of the players are bashing the NBA, right, So
that's a that's a topic, that's a story.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
Yeah, yeah, but exactly, But Oscar Robinson was like, nobody
listens to Draymond, like, you know what I mean. He
got a lot of pushback from that, Yeah, because it's
because it's like, I feel like it's irresponsible for a
player of his stature, even if he feels that way
so publicly come out and say that at All Star weekends,
Like that's helping nobody.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, no, that's true, helping.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Absolutely nobody at all. Like all it did was create
more division about the NBA.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Well, hey, I'll tell you this, Marco, I've got some
KD on at the top of the hour.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Uh so, I think that's an interesting storyline. There's some
legitimate NBA in the show.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
I feel like I feel like I'm on the same
way wavelength this KD. He's like, man, if y'all soon'n
happy this, let's just cancel it there. Let's not even
have it, y'all, y'all hate it so much. Let's go
a year without and to see how y'all feel. But
you know, people would complain about that too. It's like
it's no, I feel like it's no matter what the
NBA tries to do, people hate it. Like they're trying, man,
(37:21):
They're trying to figure it out, Like the NFL is
a big dog and everybody else is trying to figure
it out. But it's like, even with them trying to
figure out, people are like, Nope, that's trash. Nope, that's trash. Nope,
that's It's like, I don't know, man, It's just it's
a weird time now in sports commentary, Like every I
feel like, even not just basketball, like everything is about
bashing everybody. Like bro, after the super Bowl, like five
(37:45):
minutes after the Super Bowl, people were like, Jalen Hurst
is still not the leite, Like what, like, what do y'all? Dude,
It's not that hard to congratulate this man and give
him problems, give him his flowers. He just won a
super Bowl. But right after people went straight to that, Yeah,
Patrick Mahomes is trash now because he lost one super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Oh well that's stupid. That's great. Well that's true. And
like the Chiefs, the Chiefs are just a man. They're
basically the Tennessee Titans right now, after that, you know
what I mean, Like, that's that's how it turned into.
But no, I appreciate that good stuff from Marco. That's true.
There's a lot of over the top, you know, negativity,
but some things just you can't put a positive spin
(38:26):
on them. There are some things like the All Star
Game right for the NBA that there's just not a
whole lot of positive spin you can put on that.
But that doesn't mean that you're bashing the league in
every single way. But listen, I'll get to KD at
the top of the hour. Right around the corner. This
is a very funny interaction between two players, and I'll
(38:50):
share that with you. Right around the corner, I'm Brian
no In for Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
Live from the Tirack dot Com studios right here on

Joe live from the Tyrack dot Com studios here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
You know, that's a.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Funny, funny interaction between two NBA players. So this is
between Pacers guard Tyrese Halliburton. He was trying to recruit
Joe l embiid so he's trying to recruit Embid to
the Pacers. And this happened during last year's Summer Olympics.
(39:40):
So the two were sitting there, both on Team USA, right,
they were sitting courtside, and this is during practice and
Halliburton he said to em Bid, He's like, you're gonna
come to Indy and Embiid said, I might come to Indy.
Psych never, I'd rather retire. That's what Embiid hit Halliburton with,
(40:06):
which was like, okay, all right, well that's not great.
That's part of Netflix's Court of Gold documentary series, so
it gives you some behind the scenes looks and all
that type of stuff. I'm gonna check this out, man.
I was all about Olympic basketball. It was a lot
of fun met USA. They had some tough tests against Serbia,
(40:30):
big deficit going into the fourth quarter, and so you
get behind the scenes footage all that type of stuff.
I'm all in, man, I'm gonna be sampling this. But
there you go. Embiid, whose career is crumbling right now,
no interest in the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
All right?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Coming up next, What a difference one shot made for
two superstars. Details to come

Speaker 2 (00:32):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh, good morning, welcome
in here. What a horrible approach. We will get to
this momentially.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
We are broadcasting live from the tirack dot com studios.
Ti iraq dot com will help get you there at
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection you know,
for ten thousand recommended installers tirac dot com Way tired
buying should be Okay, the uh, the horrible approach. In
a second, excited to do the show with Plexico Buris
(01:10):
here will get hooked up in the not too distant future.
You know, but you got you got a heavy dose
of no right now, got heavy dose of the noster. Okay,
So a couple of things on my mind. One, how
Justin Cooper is just a you know what he's like,
(01:30):
He's like an NBA superstar that's tweeting about the dunk contest.
So I'll get to that momentarily here. First things first, though, yes,
I know that requires some explanation, But first things first
is that Dion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffalo's
(01:52):
football team. He has an approach that is so bad.
I I don't even know what to compare it to. Like,
I'm just thinking you could go in different directions like
bad songs, bad food, bad people. You know, you maybe
do a comparison that his approach here, he's he's not
(02:15):
doing any recruiting as far as making trips. Colorado confirmed
that Dion Sanders made no recruiting trips. He made no
in home or off campus visits this offseason. He didn't
do it last year. Doesn't seem like he's going to
(02:36):
do it this year. Coach Prime's actual quote is I'm
not doing that. I'm not doing that. That's no, not
gonna do it. No, thank you, just not no. Not
for me not doing that. This is what's wild to me.
First things first is if you have anything critical to say,
(03:00):
especially about someone like Dion Sanders, who has a fair
share of unreasonable haters. Right, that's the truth. There are
a lot of unreasonable haters when it comes to Coach Prime,
and they say a lot of unreasonable, wacky things. And
so if you're the next person who has something negative
(03:21):
to say, you're automatically grouped in with the wacko haters.
You know, you might have something legitimate to point out
that's critical in nature, but all of a sudden, shoulder
to shoulder with someone who said something way, way worse
and maybe personal and maybe stupid. You know, your shoulder
to shoulder, you're basically the same person. You know, that's
(03:41):
how it goes. But this is how you can tell
if someone's being biased or not. If someone's truly being biased,
if they say something about one person but then don't
say anything close to the same thing about another person
when the situation is basically the same, Right, that's when
(04:03):
you can tell someone is biased. So with Coach Prime,
if instead of him, it's another head coach. If this
is Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame, I'm from South Bend.
I'm in South Bend right now. After a funeral yesterday
that I'll give you a few details, but I'm back
in my hometown right now. If Marcus Freeman at Notre
(04:26):
Dame didn't make any recruiting trips this year, I'd be like,
what's he doing? If Dabosweeney at Clemson didn't make any
recruiting trips, I'd say what's he doing? If Eddie of
the top coaches at the top programs didn't make any
recruiting trips, I'd be like, did they have surgery? Can
(04:49):
they not do it? Are they unable? At Why would
you not do that? So that's the first part of this.
If someone is critical of coach Prime for not making
recruiting trips, no in home or off campus visits, as
long as that person would say the same thing about
(05:09):
someone else, well, then you can tell that person is
not being biased. So that's where I'm at with this.
I would say the same thing about other head coaches
taking the same approach, which is not taking a plane anywhere.
I feel like, what are they doing? The coach Prime's
whole identity and approach is I ain't hard to find.
(05:34):
It's on his sweatshirts, right. It's basically saying to recruits, hey,
come find me I'm easy to track down here, you know,
like you hit me up, and it's like, that's not
how recruiting works, man, you gotta roll out the red carpet.
You've got to pursue it's like dating, you know, unless
(05:58):
you've just got it like that and people are just
coming up to you like, hey, hey, are you busy?
You know what, how about a shoulder massage later tonight?
You know, unless people are just coming up to you
and offering things, you've got to pursue them. Unless you've
got like fame, money, good looks, whatever, and you've got
(06:20):
people just after you, constantly after you, just hounding you, well,
then you have to do the recruiting when it comes
to dating. That's all it is. You're just if you're
a guy and you want to date women, you're recruiting
women right. You're reaching out to them, you're texting them,
you're sending messages. The same thing in college football recruiting.
(06:41):
So for coach Prime, he had a well decorated football career.
We all know that he is a very well known
head coach. He draws a lot of attention. All of
those things are true, but he's not being hounded by
four and five star recruits where coach Brian picks up
(07:04):
his phone and there are just, you know, twenty seven
new voicemails. Hey coach Brian, I'm a five star quarterback.
I love to come play at Colorado. Hit me back, Hey,
Coach Prime, I am a five star defensive vent. I'd
love to be a buff. Hit me back. You know,
it's not like that they've had bad recruiting classes recently,
(07:27):
and yet the same approach exists where now I'm not
doing that in recruiting, you need to approach the players
instead of expecting the players to approach you. I just
I don't understand why this would be his whole approach
and his mindset. It blows my mind. If you're trying
to be one of the top programs and one of
(07:50):
the top teams in college football, you gotta go seek
the players instead of just like, what does he do?
Just check his voicemails? All right, let's see Wednesday, February nineteenth. Okay,
no messages, that's not good, right, I just don't even understand.
(08:13):
So this was before National Signing Day on February fifth, right,
and that's where Colorado they confirmed they recently have confirmed
earlier in February that coach prime Nope, no in home
or off campus recruiting visits, didn't do that wild to me.
(08:34):
Don't understand it. Your thoughts more than welcome. You can
hit me up on X I say like that, like,
what is it? Will Ferrell? And Anchorman? You know where
it's a question at the end, I'm what's his man?
I just had a brain freeze. I don't know if
(08:55):
I'm gonna make it through this show. I'm just be
honest with you. There's low on sleep. What's his name?
Total brain freeze in Anchorman? What's Will Ferrell's character in Anchorman?
What's it called? You too?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I've only seen the movie once when I was like thirteen.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Okay, so that's what we're working with here? Is that's it?
I'm Ron Burgundy. You know because there was a question
mark on the teleprompter. That's me right now. You know
that that's me speaking to you live right now at
this moment.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Do you know who I am?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, I can't say that I do.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't know how to put this, but.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I'm kind of a big deal.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Really.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
People know me.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
People know you Brian.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You know what's funny, Lorena. That is the perfect SoundBite
to just encapsulate what's going on at College Dorado. Right,
Dion Sanders is Will Ferrell an anchorman, and the recruits
are what's her name, Christina Applegate? Is that it? The
(10:12):
recruits are her? Right? Like Dion Sanders like, I don't
know how to put this kind of a big deal,
A big deal, bro right, And then the recruits, Yeah,
they're like, uh, well that's great, that's that's cool for you.
I'm gonna go to Ohio State now, coach Prime, So
(10:35):
how do you not think the players? It's unbelievable. I
I don't get it at all, and I don't I
don't know, I really I don't see. Here's the thing
with sports radio. I love doing this from time to time.
(10:55):
I love at least considering the other position. Yeah, you well,
it's easy to understand my position. How are you a
college coach at a major school at a power for
conference and you're not doing in home or off campus visits?
How how is that even possible? So what's the other
(11:16):
side of that? I can't even build a legitimate argument
as to oh, no, it makes sense.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
He's himp.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
He's with this generation, nobody likes to even talk on
their phone, let alone meet in person.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
So you know, all the recruiting trips are you know,
through like you know, FaceTime.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Okay, we're all we're doing FaceTime. No in person. You
know parents who are from a different generation, well, sometimes
they prefer in home, you know what I mean. Sometimes
that goes a long way snooty in home off campus.
You think parents are as like, oh, let me talk
to coach Prime on apchat. I'd much rather do that
(12:01):
than face to face. You think that's a a parental
h that's a that's there.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Right old enough now to the point where the parents
are from that generation or not quite.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You know what's crazy is it? Not quite but not
that far away, not that far removed.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
My child is twelve, and I feel like that would
be me who would do.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Something like that with what you would be so like, yeah,
I'd be like, oh, let's just use let's just use
the media or something along the way.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Twelve is still a good you know, just six years
away from being like recruited or you know, like five years.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, but think about this to Larina, which would go
further for you Okay, let's say you're twelve year old.
It's a football just outstanding player, you know.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Good, skilled, talented, ready to go off and beat everyone.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
That's right, take on the world. Old has the Lorena jeans,
you know, doing work nice. It's a problem in football,
you know, would you, as a parent, prefer coach prime
saying hey, how about three o'clock for a snapchat call?
Or would you prefer your son is so outstanding, I
(13:19):
would prefer to make my way to southern California to
meet with you and him in person, like which goes further.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Obviously, the more personable approach. You want them to come
over and you know, acknowledge everything in person and really
have that moment.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
But that's just not what the world is these days.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It's right, it's you.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Can't even have someone come knock on your front door
without you being like, why is there someone close to
my house? People don't like it anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Well, but in college recruiting it's still different.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
It's not as if this is a common trend. It's
not as if, I'll put it this way, this is
never going to be a common trend. Okay, it's never
gonna be You're never going to see like we're talking
right now, and like, let's say the next three to
five years, I don't know what's gonna happen. You might
have in person, you know, meetings that are so virtual
(14:07):
it's like being there, I don't know what the future is.
Get let's say three to five years. There's no way
this becomes a common trend where Ryan Day at Ohio
State is like, you know, it's working for coach Prime.
The heck within home visits, I'm not going to any campuses.
Screw that. Oh no, no way, no way is that
going to be a common practice.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
You can't lose that.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
No, you can't. Not in college recruiting. You can't. I mean,
other ways of life, maybe you can cut some corners,
but you're not gonna cut corners in college recruiting. And
that's the other thing. If Dion Sanders showed, hey, I've
got a top three recruiting class, you'd be like, well, wow, okay,
(14:48):
maybe Coach Prime doesn't need to do it unless you
show that, unless you show one of the top recruiting classes.
It's like, yeah, I think you kind of need to
do the invisit thing, Like you need to do the
in home off SAMPS thing. So until he shows those
type of credentials, I will stand on I will stand
on that standing on business here to start off the show,
(15:09):
all we got plenty to do. I gotta get to
how Justin Cooper is just like an NBA superstar. Okay,
that sounds flattering. It's not flattering at all. Just to
give you a sneak peek here, I would be Justin Cooper.
I will be bashing the great Justin Cooper here relatively soon,
(15:29):
you can tell, you know, I'm taking a critical approach
here for the first couple of segments. You know, if
it if it needs to be said, if someone's got
to be critical, I'm willing to be that guy. Willing
to be that guy. So we'll get to that momentarily.
I'm Brian no and for two pros and a cup
of Joe, hopefully Plaxico bursts on the way. Excited to
(15:50):
work with plax You know, I want to pick his
gambling brain. You know you might not think, hey, gambling
Toxico Burst, you know, like sports handicapper. But how about
this Tom Brady, he made an interesting comment. It's perfect
for Plexico Buris today. Luka Doncic. There are some details
(16:12):
about him maybe not being on a pitch count, maybe
not being on a minute count. You know, so you've
heard of bet MGM, right, how about bet p l
A X. Have you heard of bett plax? You haven't
heard about that? It exists. It's perfect to pick his
gambling brain. So hopefully we'll be able to do that
(16:33):
with some of Luca's numbers. As the NBA is back
from a week all Star break, you know, they're back
from a week product over the weekend, which goes hand
and hand with the next topic, getting to how Coop
is a little bit like an NBA superstar that is
on the way. It is two Pros and a Cup
of Joe. I'm Brian no in for the guys here

Speaker 8 (17:39):
Well, it was the only time I ever went, but
I went to warp Tour. I guess that was as
close as I ever got. And I went up into
the front right and I was wearing sandals. I was
wearing sandals, and.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
This is this is a bad mashpit story. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
No, I looked down because I was like, what w
is my tofiel wet?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
I looked out.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
My whole toenail on my big to got rip off.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
It was so bad.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Oh man, I don't put my foot up in the
sink over in like the food area.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
It was just mess.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
It was a mess. Everyone's like, why would you wear
sandals into a wash pit?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I just didn't understand what really happened in there, And
now you won't find me near one.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, well, you know what you need to we need
to get you some steel toed boots facts first thing.
We need that, and we needed to get you on
a real tour.
Speaker 10 (18:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's like you know metal. Who was at the Warped Tour?
Who or somebody? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Some of the headliners were three oh three.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
It says anything three like three oh three, different than
three eleven. Touch me?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Whow?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Okay, all right, so this is not quite metal.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
No, but it was about as close as we could get.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Okay, I'm looking at the I'm looking at the axe
over here real fast. Let's see.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Warped Tour was like two thousand and eleven, probably two.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Thousand, okay, twenty eleven Warped Tour lineup here. All right,
let's see if you remember some of these acts. O good,
like this? All right, what do we got going over here?
We've got that's like I don't even know Kia. Kevin says, stage.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah, I've got it went for my man, It wasn't for.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Me, okay, all right, yeah, gosh, all right. We got
all these different stages.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Paramore, hmmm, that was cool, Street Dogs, there was two
years August Burns Red, there was.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
The uh wow, goodness. We got all oh the skull
Candy stage and we.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Got lost for like the first two hours. His sister
is dyslexic and she put in the wrong address. We
went to the totally wrong side of town.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Wow, there were a million acts at this thing.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
It's huge. You can't even see all the acts because
there's so many going on at the same time.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
How many songs did they play? They played three songs
and say, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
No, they have a whole bunch of different stages, so
they all had like full lineup, still.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Dance, having dance.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
It's this does not sound very metal. Lorraina polling for.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Soup, bowling for metal.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
No, it's not stopping, you know, it's not.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
As close as I got.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Has never been metal.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah, it's a little a little different than metal, but
I would assume that mosh bits could still sort of happen.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
It's like soft core metal, right, Like, it's not as
like as hard as what you guys listen to.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
It's not Pantera, but.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's kind of like metal.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I'm trying to find. It's the heaviest act on here.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, I know, but just like totally alternative. You know,
it's like we're metal, but with ninety nine percent alternative flavor.
You know, that's kind of what this seems like. But
uh hey, the toenail got ripped off, that's the same
thing as any regular Uh oh, while they were in Hillsborough.
I lived in that area.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
That's where it was.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Yeah, are you serious?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, Hillsboro Portland area, that's.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Where you went. Yeah, that's crazy. Wow, Yeah, I lived.
I lived in Hillsboro. That's where I lived when I
worked there. That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I stayed there?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Did you stay there when I wasn't there? Coop? Just like,
what's going to happen here pretty soon? Vegas?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Well no, I mean I I literally stayed at your apartment.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That would happen.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Yeah, But yeah, and but you weren't there.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
You just made sure you invite, you invited, I wasn't.
I didn't just show up. You invited me to stay there.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
I was in Portland, Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Like, well, we're supposed to go to a rage concert
and then COVID hit and I don't even remember what
happened this time you're talking about, Coop? Was I like, yeah,
come on through, dude, anytime you know I was.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I was driving up to Portland on a road trip,
and I guess you just happened to be out of
town when I was going to be there.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Oh wow, man, I hardly even remember this.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, and you let h oh she was my girlfriend
at the time, but my wife and I stay there
for the couple of days that we were in town.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, that's hilarious. Wow, Okay, nice was it like? Because
I had two different places, not at the same time,
but there was a townhouse and then there was like
a househouse. Was it the second one?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
It was?
Speaker 9 (22:21):
It was the townhouse because there was like, okay, I
remember smoking a ball out on the balcony.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh man, that is.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's hysterical, man, that that's such a trip because I
was still married at the time. You know, I was
in the townhouse and I don't know where we went,
but wow, that's fun. I totally forgot about that. She
crashed at the place and we never crossed paths. That's
it's wild. I don't know how we even worked that out,
(23:00):
left a key somewhere or whatever. Wow, craziness. Okay, So
this is this is the new part of that. Now,
let me set this up first where it's talking about
the NBA and I will I will weave coop in Okay.
So the first part of this story is that NBA
players are just teasing us. So the dunk contest was
(23:22):
last Saturday, right just a few weeks, a few days ago,
where Mac McClung did his thing. He won the Slam
Dunk Contest for a third straight year. And then later
that night it started where John Morant was the first
superstar to tweet mac might make might make me decide
to dunk. So John Morant is he's getting inspiration from
(23:45):
Mac McClung. You know, he's watching Mac do his thing,
and he's like, you know what, I might have to
enter the chat. I might have to enter this dunk
contest over here. And then it went from there. John
Morant hits up Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon, two past
dunkers that put on great events. John Morant tweets Zach
(24:06):
and a g what's up? You know, Like, what do
you guys want to enter this too? Am I gonna
be the only superstar? We're gonna get some high flyers here.
So I bring this up because just yesterday Aaron Gordon
responded and his response was I still got some S word,
meaning like he's still got some great dunks. He's got
(24:29):
some high flying dunks up his sleeves still, so he's
teasing us. You also had Yannis right after John Morant
initially tweeted, mac might make me decide to dunk, Yiannis tweeted,
if you do it, I'll do it with you with
a one hun emoji, Like, here's the thing. These stars,
(24:54):
these named players. You know, John Moran is a superstar,
Giannis is a superstar. Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon those
are all star caliber players. They are names. These are
all names. Anybody with a name that's tweeting about maybe
entering the dunk contest is basically the NBA equivalent of
(25:16):
a stripper. That's really what's going on here, because what's
the common ground. It's just teasing you, that's all it is.
Like a stripper is just like, hey, hey, look at it.
It's here's the right elbow and you're like, oh wow,
and that's no more, no more, no touching, get away,
you know, just just teasing. That's what NBA names are doing.
(25:39):
John Morant like I might have to enter this thing.
Aaron Gordon like I still got some stuff, still got
some tricks up my sleeve, Yannis. I'll tell you this.
You're not gonna see any of these names in the
Dunk Contest next year. How do I know this? Because
this is what always happens. This is what the Dunk
Contest has been reduced to. It's just names talking about
(26:02):
maybe entering and then not entering. How long has this
been happening? Lebron used to do this. Lebron was like, Hey,
maybe I should entered, Maybe maybe I should Hey never entered,
Like this has been common practice for quite some time.
I would like to give new stripper nicknames to these players.
(26:23):
Let's see, We've got Cinnamon Morant. That's his new, uh
new nickname, Cinnamon Morant. Let's go with Diamond. It's a
great stripper name, Diamond, Adetta Kumbo, and I'm just gonna
go Coco Gordon. I'll go Coco right there. You know,
any like any good stripper names off the top of
(26:44):
your head, Cooper, Lorena, what's a good what's a decent
stripper name you have? Anything to?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
My brother's girlfriend was Cookie.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Cookie. That's a good one. Cookie Levine, How's that? I
kind of like that. It's a good nickname right there,
because that's what's happening. These NBA named players. They are
just teasing us, just like a stripper would do. That's
what's going on. So don't for a second get fired
(27:10):
up for this as if it's going to happen. You're
just holding you know what, you're the NBA fan that's
a young kid sitting on the front porch waiting for
the deadbeat dad to pick them up, to go to
the mall or do something fun, go get ice cream,
and the dad is just not going to show up.
You know, I hate to be the voice of reason.
(27:33):
I'm just trying to prepare you for the letdown. That's
all I'm doing. You know, I'm not trying to suck
the fun. I'm just preparing you for the letdown. Because
anybody that's like, hey, hey you see X, you see
Twitter here, We've got cham Morant, we got zach Lavine,
Aaron Gordon, we might have Giachnis there, baby, look at
all these names. We might have like ten dudes that
(27:54):
are stars or all star caliber players in the dunk contest. No,
you're not gonna have any There's gonna be zero, nah da,
because that's what always happens. For whatever reason. It's cool
to just tweet about maybe entering the dunk contest, and
then what comes time to actually enter it? You just say, nah,
I'm good if you don't do it. Now Coop has
(28:21):
not gone quite to these lengths here, But how Coop
is comparable to this? So Coop he says, Hey, I
might might head out to Vegas this weekend, you know,
And I'm like, great, this is a long story. I'll
try not to bore you with all the details, but
(28:41):
I've been out in Vegas with my girlfriend for the
last two or three months. We leave on Monday, just
a few days from now, because we have to drive
back to Indiana because my young nephew is getting married. Right,
it's a whole the thing why we're driving and going
from point A to point B. I'm not gonna bore
you with the details, but we're leaving on Monday, and
(29:04):
the way my life is, I have no idea where
it's going from that point on. Not at home for
like a week for the wedding, and then I work
remotely for Fox Sports Radio, you know, So I'm just
here there wherever. Like we were in New Orleans for
a couple of months, we were in Portland, for a
(29:25):
couple of months. I was cleaning out a storage unit.
We've been in Vegas for a few months. We've been
all over the place for a few months. So I
have no idea where it's headed to after this wedding
in Indiana. Technically it's in Michigan, but whatever, it's back
in my home area. I don't know where. So before
(29:47):
the show, Coop was like, hey, booked my ticket. I'm like, oh, yeah, great,
it's gonna work out after all. I'm like a you know,
like I'm ready for Christmas morning, you know, I'm like, oh,
presence today, let's go. And he's like, yeah, it's in
like June for the World Series of Poker. Well that's great.
(30:09):
I don't know where I'll be at that. So yeah,
it's you're kind of like Cookie, Cookie Lorena. You know,
it's let's see what other stripper names here?
Speaker 6 (30:24):
What else was Mercedes?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
If I was a stripper, I would go to Vegas
for that.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Yeah, well people do it, that's true, to get a
special license to strip in Vegas. Really, it's called like
your Sheriff's card or something like that.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Oh really, wow, what a cool name. Sheriffs.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I like when I see the strippers flying back to
LA What do you think of.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
This stripper name? Mercedes Cooper? Huh, just teasing without following
for sure, I let.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Off with that. I booked my World Series of Poker trip.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Man.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
No, You're like, I booked my trip to Vegas. That's
my flight to Vegas. And I'm like, okay, cool because
I left this part out. Coop and Lorena they're like, hey,
what do you think about maybe a Vegas trip. I'm
trying to convince my wife all of us will go there.
And I'm like, yeah, perfect, my last weekend in Vegas.
It'll work out great. And that is the last I
(31:18):
know until this morning where it's like, booked my trip
to Vegas and I'm like, oh, nice, all right, so
it's a green light yeah in June. Yeah, Mercedes Cooper,
what what's your what's your your stripper name? There?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Lorena, what do you want it to be? What's a
good one right there? I don't know if I give
away your last name, you might not want it. Maybe
you just want one kind of like prince, you know,
you just want one name. You don't Queen of the.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Does it have to be something like?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I like that because it's it's different. Know it stands
out say the.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Other one that came to my mind, but it has
to do with flowers.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Let's just leave it there. Okay, all right, that's what
we got working. Uh, we got Mercedes Cooper and Queen
of the Pole. Can't you hear the DJ saying that
right now, Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for
a Queen of the pool. And there's a lorrain of
doing the thing. There's still time, Coop, still time to
(32:28):
live life, you know, make a trip off.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
The book it Coop still could and then I have
my you know, it was my idea to come out
there just so you know, yeah, because I want White Castle.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah see, and you're just ruining dreams out here with
your with your poker.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
I need to save for the world series.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I don't know if you want to reveal the reasons
why you need to save Coop, you can leave that
on the shelf if you would like.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
But I lost a lot of money playing poker.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah yeah, So Coop was chasing straights and flushes, and
now what seemed to be the trip of trips, just
a jolly good time, has turned into I gotta save.
I got it.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
We would have had the best time we.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Would have and now all we can do is talk
about the time we would have had, which we never had.
You know what I mean, That's what it's reduced to.
Good job, Coop, good job. Way to go all in
with ten to three off suit. I'm sorry, this is
(33:36):
all your fault, all right? Feel free to check in.
You can always hit me up on Twitter at the
No Show Noe Show if you would like to. Oh,
I see real fast here, let me steak in a call.
Is Marco still there in Charlotte? Love to hear from Marco?
He wants to talk about Deon Sanders laid out the story, Marco,
(33:57):
Welcome to the Fox Sports Radio. What are your thoughts here? Man,
I'm curious.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
What's something?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Man?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
How you doing good? But well, I got another thing
I want to talk about too, But we can talk
about prom first. I was gonna say, man, is it
is odd what he's doing? But my thought process is
there's no way he's doing that without having a plan.
Like he definitely has a plan behind it. And if
you remember this year in the NFL when a bunch
(34:21):
of teams were looking for head coaches, didn't they do
zoom a lot with a lot of those coaches. Did
they meet all those coaches in person? I think they
did a lot of zoom videos. I think Kellen Moore
did a zoom video with the Saints for that job. So,
I mean, I don't think that's like out as a
question for somebody to do. I mean, professional teams are
doing it well. I couldn't be undo it. I hear you.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
But it's not the same thing, right, Like you're recruiting
a player to go to your university, think about like
other schools doing in person, and you're running the risk
of losing that player because you're not going the extra mile.
And it's just yeah, right, like it's that player, it's
that family, Like Kellen Moore, it's just just Kellen Moore.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
You know, Like, yeah, I get that for sure. Just
trying to, you know, provide a different way you're thinking
about it, maybe you know. But also this is one
thing I've been I've been hearing everywhere and I've been
thinking about a lot lately. It's like, especially on FSR,
like I really to the point I'm like, why do
(35:23):
any of the shows even talk about the NBA Because
it's like it seems like, all, y'all hate it. Y'all
hate the NBA.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
So I love the I watched the NBA every day, Mark, y'all.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Talking about it for for the listeners and for You're like, oh,
because it seems like every time I hear about the
NBA on Fox Sports is just bashing it, bashing it,
bashing it. Like the only person who gives like actual
analysis is Dan Patrick. He's the only one that's like
fair and stuff. But everybody else is just like completely
bashing the NBA. So like, I'm like, then, why do
y'all even talk about it?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Like, well, listen, I'll bash the dunk contest. That's not
bashing the NBA. I watch the NBA every day. I
love the NBA, So no, I'm.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Not too as somebody who loves it, though, is like
I don't have anything to listen to anymore about it
because every show is staying the same thing. Well, hey, like,
all right, why do I want to hear that all day? Well?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I hear you, but some of it is Draymond like,
some of the players are bashing the NBA, right, So
that's a that's a topic, that's a story.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
Yeah, yeah, but exactly, But Oscar Robinson was like, nobody
listens to Draymond, like, you know what I mean. He
got a lot of pushback from that, Yeah, because it's
because it's like, I feel like it's irresponsible for a
player of his stature, even if he feels that way
so publicly come out and say that at All Star weekends,
Like that's helping nobody.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, no, that's true, helping.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Absolutely nobody at all. Like all it did was create
more division about the NBA.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Well, hey, I'll tell you this, Marco, I've got some
KD on at the top of the hour.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Uh so, I think that's an interesting storyline. There's some
legitimate NBA in the show.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
I feel like I feel like I'm on the same
way wavelength this KD. He's like, man, if y'all soon'n
happy this, let's just cancel it there. Let's not even
have it, y'all, y'all hate it so much. Let's go
a year without and to see how y'all feel. But
you know, people would complain about that too. It's like
it's no, I feel like it's no matter what the
NBA tries to do, people hate it. Like they're trying, man,
(37:21):
They're trying to figure it out, Like the NFL is
a big dog and everybody else is trying to figure
it out. But it's like, even with them trying to
figure out, people are like, Nope, that's trash. Nope, that's trash. Nope,
that's It's like, I don't know, man, It's just it's
a weird time now in sports commentary, Like every I
feel like, even not just basketball, like everything is about
bashing everybody. Like bro, after the super Bowl, like five
(37:45):
minutes after the Super Bowl, people were like, Jalen Hurst
is still not the leite, Like what, like, what do y'all? Dude,
It's not that hard to congratulate this man and give
him problems, give him his flowers. He just won a
super Bowl. But right after people went straight to that, Yeah,
Patrick Mahomes is trash now because he lost one super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Oh well that's stupid. That's great. Well that's true. And
like the Chiefs, the Chiefs are just a man. They're
basically the Tennessee Titans right now, after that, you know
what I mean, Like, that's that's how it turned into.
But no, I appreciate that good stuff from Marco. That's true.
There's a lot of over the top, you know, negativity,
but some things just you can't put a positive spin
(38:26):
on them. There are some things like the All Star
Game right for the NBA that there's just not a
whole lot of positive spin you can put on that.
But that doesn't mean that you're bashing the league in
every single way. But listen, I'll get to KD at
the top of the hour. Right around the corner. This
is a very funny interaction between two players, and I'll
(38:50):
share that with you. Right around the corner, I'm Brian

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Funny, funny interaction between two NBA players. So this is
between Pacers guard Tyrese Halliburton. He was trying to recruit
Joe l embiid so he's trying to recruit Embid to
the Pacers. And this happened during last year's Summer Olympics.
(39:40):
So the two were sitting there, both on Team USA, right,
they were sitting courtside, and this is during practice and
Halliburton he said to em Bid, He's like, you're gonna
come to Indy and Embiid said, I might come to Indy.
Psych never, I'd rather retire. That's what Embiid hit Halliburton with,
(40:06):
which was like, okay, all right, well that's not great.
That's part of Netflix's Court of Gold documentary series, so
it gives you some behind the scenes looks and all
that type of stuff. I'm gonna check this out, man.
I was all about Olympic basketball. It was a lot
of fun met USA. They had some tough tests against Serbia,
(40:30):
big deficit going into the fourth quarter, and so you
get behind the scenes footage all that type of stuff.
I'm all in, man, I'm gonna be sampling this. But
there you go. Embiid, whose career is crumbling right now,
no interest in the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
All right?

two superstars. Details to come
