Let's give this part. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
It is a Wednesday tradition on X He's at the
Old p. He is Petros Papadakis, the co host of
the Petros and Money Show, which you can hear on
the Blowtorch Am five to seven, ey La Sports Fox
College Football analyst and our good buddy Pee.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
What's happening? Good morning? Hello? Hello everybody?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Hello, good morning Pe?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
How you doing sir?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Hello? Hello?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Pep hallo pp Hello Brady On Hello Brady.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Petros, do you know anything about Mookie Bets's illness that
caused him to drop twenty something pounds?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
And no, but it's really upsetting, right, I mean, the
guy's been six since before they left for Japan. He
said he was afraid to eat food. He said his
body was eating itself.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Tang.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yeah, that's that's and he wasn't a big guy to
begin with, you know what I mean, Like being down
on the field all the time with the Dodgers is
interesting because you get to realize why there's so many
idiot baseball dads out there, because it's really one of
the only sports, I mean most sports, football, basketball, the
sports that we talk about. When you get to be twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
(01:51):
fifteen and you're like an elite player, you got to
pass the eyeball test, like you got to walk in
the door and look like Brady quim LeVar Arrington. I mean,
there's not a lot of football players that just look
like normal guys, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
And same with basketball.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I mean a lot of basketball players only look normal
on a basketball court. Any other place, they looked like
a freak, like a circus act. But baseball, you could
look like a normal kind of guy and to have
a slight build like Mookie Betts or Trey Turner or
guys like that and.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Be the best in the world.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
So there wasn't a lot of weight for the guy
to lose anyway, and being down there with those guys,
you kind of realized, like, not all these guys are
like that physically impressive. Now, they added Freddie Freeman a
couple of years back, and I was like, damn, now
this guy's really big. And then they brought in Otani,
and Otani's a freaking giant, but Mookie Betts is not
(02:53):
a big guy, and there wasn't a lot of weight
to lose, and apparently it was just a really bad scene.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Now he's back. I think he played.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Yesterday in the exhibition, so he'll be back on Thursday.
But he lost a bunch of weight and he got
really sick. It had nothing to do with Japan or
gas station, sushi in Japan or whatever people were mambo alleging,
because he got sick before before they went.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I think it was David Vasse asked him, you know,
because Mookie had mentioned, you know, we know what it
was and what to avoid, and so the follow up
obviously was so what was it? And he said, we're
just going to keep that in house. So just the
whole thing's weird, Like I don't you can't really nobody
can figure out what the hell was going on.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Do you think it's like a tapeworm, I don't know,
or a hook a hookworm?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Does that take twenty five pounds off you?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Well, it's like we've heard twenty five pounds. We've heard
twenty pounds. It's eighteen pounds. Okay, So and who knows
it could be coming back on him right now as
we speak. His opening day is tomorrow and we'll all
be out of Dodger Stadium. So yeah, I'm sorry that
Mookie Bets got sick, but I expect that he's going
(04:08):
to be.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Okay, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Fair Speaking of opening day, what's the festivity's going to be? Like,
I mean, it's going to be a big one pe
you're gonna be You're gonna.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
What are we going on?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Well, there's a guy, there's bartender Brad at Dodger Stadium,
like one of these bougie bartenders in like the elite
area where you can go and drink and you know,
like the club house or whatever they call it.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Like there's always something.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Dodger Stadium or baseball in general, or any nice stadium
has become a lot like uh, like Vegas, where no
matter what you have, no matter how much money you
have spent to be a VIP, there's something better. Like
(04:57):
you might have this wristband, but there's another wristband that's
even more special. Where you are in like a jacuzzi
being pilated by a dolphin.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
It's like, do you know what I'm saying? It's like
and baseball is kind of like that. So there's this one, uh,
there's this one bar at Dodger Stadium that's really nice,
and this bartender comes and makes us meet a lottas
from that bar and delivers them at Dodger Stadium to
(05:28):
wherever we Matt and I are. But on opening day
we're down on the field, so we can't drink down
in front of everybody like with a big, gross red
michalata while you're interviewing you know, Stan Castan or Andrew
Friedmann or Max Munci or bowing at Otani. So it
(05:48):
is a little more complicated than when we usually are there.
But we usually get one big mich alatta and they
bring tim kaits a spicy margarita.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
And we usually got spicy mard.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
So we go from there, and that's usually the case,
but on opening day we'll be down on the field,
so the festivities are a little less. I think you
guys would be not shocked to realize, Like, I don't
know how long am five seventy the blowtorch here in
LA has had the Dodger contract. That's been lucrative of
(06:23):
course for them, but I think it's been about twelve years.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And I mean they used to send.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Us out there three games in a row during homestands,
and we used.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
To spend a lot of time.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
And now that the Dodgers are so popular, they don't
need us as much as they used to.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Well, the Lakers need you. I mean, they seem to
have been doing pretty well and well Brownie James since
we've talked, LAS has proven all of the critics wrong
and had put everybody in their place and has made
everybody's you know, the believer of the Bronnie James legend
that is starting to now take shape. What's your take
(07:05):
on that? Now? Are people more interested in going to
Lakers games and watching the wells?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Now the Lakers or any NBA franchise has priced everybody
out a long long time ago, So real Laker fans
or whatever kind of.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I mean, that's just not the NBA anymore.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
As far as going to the games, it's it's way
too expensive. As far as the Bronnie James has proven
everybody this or that, I'm not really there, but I'm
glad that they had a wonderful article written.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
About him in the Athletic and and then he got
out there in a blowout game. And then you know.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
The CHI League, we get to follow what's going on there.
I'm sure those games are very popular. But no, the
Bronnie James thing, it went away for a while because
the Lakers were playing so well, and then they started
to lose again and Lebron got hurt or took his
march off or whatever. Just the media orchestration around anything
(08:07):
regarding Lebron James, what happens before, during, and after the
way all their media people get mobilized.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
It's I just I don't even like to talk about
it anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
But speaking about basketball, I did go for the very
first time in my life to the Into It Dome
the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, Friday night, I think I heard.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I had to go for Toyota to do a like
a They don't call it like a sales event anymore.
To do you know what they call if you go
to like an event where they have.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Like activation division. Yes, that's right, you go tell me
this much, Petros. Why do they change the names for
things that have always existed, Like back in the day,
if you did a deal with a corporate sponsor, it
it's just a marketing deal.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Right now we call it's nil.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's your name, image and likeness, Like what why do
we need to coin a phrase for something that's always existed?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I mean, Don Martin changed a big our old boss,
you know. I mean when you used to have salespeople
or whatever, they would call them a you know, clients, right,
like Toyota is a client, but you know what they
are now partners?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
We're partner. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
They always change the names for things to make things
seem cooler, right, or more complex or more more I
don't know, innovative than they really are. But it was
speaking of innovative. And you guys know this. I mean
I hate everything. I mean I really don't. I don't
like anything like I'm I'm The word hater was was
(09:48):
literally created for me and I am when they opened
Staples Center. I was there when it opened and we
were all part of the me the whole deal and
it to me, it just seemed like a big, stupid
looking Marriott. I wasn't impressed when they opened Staples and
(10:08):
everybody thought it was the media center of the world,
and it was these have events every single night. But
the Into a Dome is everything they said. Now, parking
for seventy dollars is too much. I don't care where
you're supposed to be parking for what's happening. Seventy dollars
is too much to pay to park. But it had
(10:32):
to be the best, the best venue I've ever been
at for anything ever. It's a spaceship. It's like when
you remember how geeked up you were to be on
Space Mountain as a kid.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Oh yeah, this is how the Into a Dome feels.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Every single chair is like a movie theater chair with
a controller.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That's in like a holster, and you can order your food.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yeah stuff, But then just the weird in game stuff
like that controller you realize serves as a light that
changes red, white, and blue and as part of a
light show in.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
The whole stadium.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Anytime anything happens, he's weird, like it looks like a
drone show. And you realize, like your seat is doing
that too, And of course just the grade of the building.
You know, it doesn't feel like Staples of the Rose
Bowl where you're super.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Far away from everything.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
And I know the Clippers aren't popular, and god they
don't have a fifty fifth pick that has been forced
into the league that we have to monitor in the
G League and during garbage time. But at the same time,
I have never seen anything like this stadium and just
getting in, getting out, all the food and all the
(11:52):
different stuff. It really is the future. And I was
wildly impressed with how they built it and and and
what it is.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Now.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I know it's the Clippers, and I know they ruined
engle Wood, and there's terrible traffic and all this different stuff,
but man, I was, I was really impressed with that stadium.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Well what's a little more what's a little more bad
traffic in LA you know, just heap it on top
of the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Petros, I want to get back.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
To the hating portion of things, Yeah, okay, sure, only
because one of the things that's come up of the
course of March madness is some of the coaches who
are in the Sweet sixteen yet the portal's open in
men's basketball, and it's like they're they're having to discuss
while they're still trying to make a national championship run,
(12:42):
how they're going to manage their roster in that time.
It is college sports at like an old time, just
crazy point in time as to how this whole thing
is working and that includes a football and everything else.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
In your mind, well that.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
The double portal is a real problem for everybody in
football because you don't really know. It's caused a lot
of people to not want to have spring games or
close down their spring practice because they don't want some
player that they didn't expect that came up and did
well to get poached. And they already try to deal
(13:17):
with that rumors wise. And the problem is some schools
are on the quarter system, some schools are on semester systems.
It's really hard to sync up Stanford and Michigan State.
You know, it always has been in the world.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Of college football.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
That being said, yeah, this is an issue to one
of the other things that bothers me. I mean, these
coaches are having to deal with the portal and all
that stuff no matter what. And in college basketball, timing
wise and football, if you have a lot of success
and your season isn't over. You have to deal with
(13:56):
all kinds of logistics that you probably shouldn't while you're
still coaching and competing because of just how long the
calendar takes if you have success. One of the things
that I found interesting is that everybody, you know, Colorado
State lost on a last second shot. If they didn't,
they'd be the only mid major in there, right, correct?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Is that right? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Because no one wants to call Arkansas with Callip Perry
as the coach to be the to be a Cinderella.
I mean, he can't. You can't say that even though
they're a ten seed. So there's no more George Mason
or VCU or anybody like that. And you have these
(14:41):
sports writers lamenting that, oh god, Nil ruined college basketball.
It's like, these are the same sports writers that we're
all screaming for Nil like, and now they're oh.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
This sucks.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
It's like, well, guys, I mean, who do you think
has the money to pay the players? The major conferences
and the bigger schools in particular the SEC, and they
have what seven teams or something in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So it's funny because.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
We talk about all this progress that we need to
make in college sports. And we lawed the abandoned Brothers
and the lawsuit that got everybody paid, and I think
it's great too, I'm not saying one thing or another.
And then the results of that happen the transfer portal
and all these different things, and everybody stands up and
screams and yells and wants to complain about it. I mean,
(15:33):
we created this complex situation like putting revenue sports inside
our institutions of higher education, and then we sit here
and whine about all the incongruities and the billion dollar
industry that we built. So it's kind of interesting. It's
interesting to watch it all play out. But the same
people that scream for players to be paid are the
(15:56):
same people lamenting the fact that we don't have any
mid majors or teams like that. In the tournament. It's like,
which way do you want it? You can only have
the red sauce or the green sauce. You can't have
them both at the same time, you hay holes, But
it's kind of the nature of the sport. And then
the real travesty of the whole thing is the people
(16:16):
making the billions of dollars on these TV deals are
still not allowed to pay the players legally, that's not
who's paying them. It's still the alums that want to
be cool to hang out with athletes. And it's not
really nil. It's pay to play, And so we have
so many issues. I almost want to talk about Brody instead,
(16:39):
but no, I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I mean, I really thought I was transitioning from something
you didn't want to talk about to something you wanted.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
To talk about. No, I mean I talked, but I
talked about it, right, Brady. I mean that's you know,
I mean it is. It is very interesting because.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
We are in a brave new world of college sports,
and the one thing that really doesn't sync up the
major revenue sports, football and hoops is the portals. And
it just it really doesn't work for anybody. And it's
dramatically altered the calendar of the sport, and it's a
lot harder for these guys to do their job.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
You know, Maryland go, you want to go. I thought
this was pretty appropriate. You know Maryland basketball. You know
they had that game winning shot that you know got
them to the next round. They play tomorrow against number
number one Florida and that's a big game for them.
But more importantly, this is a big one for me
(17:37):
asking you this, Petros, do you know Go Go music?
And have you ever heard of the group Mambo Sauce.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
I do not know Mambo Sauce, but I know about
Go Go, I know about the Huckabucks, I know Chuck Brown,
I know the Back.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Essence.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I know about Go Sugar Beer.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Yes, Go Go music, for those of you that don't know,
is a special sect of urban music.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Or I guess you said black.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Music and Jonas were out on it, but no clue.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Well no, we were out on Mambo Sauce. So did
you know Go Go?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I've heard of going about Mambo Sauce?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Which is the song that was played Go Go is?
Can we play the song for Petro?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
She could play it for him, she could play she
pull it up.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Well what's it called?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Maryland football comes out to a Go Go song? They
come out to pure essence.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
And that's uh.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
You know, Coach Locksley is from the Go Go music
is very it's cool and and this is also something
that I really like is if some music is very
Germane to the area, right, like you know, if you're
from Chino Hills, You're probably going to be against a
rap I must say what I.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Want to know.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
And in Bakersfield you listen to corn Well.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Bakersfield has actually the Bakersfield country style, which which totally
changed country music maybe like thirty years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Jonas is a rare essence, rare Well.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I think there's another one too, but rare essence.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Is, Yeah, that's the one.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I'm sorry. I'm more of a trouble funk guy myself, but.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Well, but but go go music is very much identified
with the d m V.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Not the not the motor vehicles, but.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
The the the Capital Virginia, that whole area, and I
like that. I mean we we don't have enough of that.
And in the country, Uh, the Bay Area it's like
that too, with high fi. Yeah, the hyphie music in
the Bay Area and mac dre and Andre Nicotina.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yes, there there you go, Brady.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
And then I guess you would say down south in Houston, Texas,
they had they had shopped and screams drunk.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
We wish your house, yes, Michael, five thousand watts.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So I do like rap.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Music that is very unique to the area, that's not
really what go Go is, but it is urban music.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I do not know the band that LeVar is talking.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
About it play it typed in mambo sauce.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
You can't get it is welcome to d C.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well we don't have bad music in the system.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
That oh wow, that's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But the guy that started go Go music is a
guy named Chuck Brown.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Chuck Brown.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Yeah, so that's the that's the uh, the guy that
was the innovator and you could purchase that.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
They called him.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
They call him the godfather of Go Go. Correct, the
guyfather of Go Go and his son played for Virginia
Tech at one point in time.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Update by the way on Pure Essence. Pure Essence was
an R and B band from Cincinnati, Ohio. And yeah,
they had a couple of different labels, but they haven't
really done anything since nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
They do something every Saturday when Maryland takes a field. Fool.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well that's this is it's not rare.

I didn't know that looked in my.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Good song. I know that song. Yeah, I know that song.
I didn't know that was a black band. That's a
black band, all black, Yes, and the best black indie
rock band. LeVar Is TV on the radio, except they
have one white guy. Ye'll put me up on some
(24:59):
game just now. I did not know this was a
black Now I'm a fan.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Up top bar.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
It kind of got that kind of uh, you know,
Lenny Kravitz type of feel to it sound.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
This is a real band.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
That's dope. Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Petros enjoy opening day. We appreciate it. We'll do it
again next week.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Forever there he is.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, Petro Bobadak is joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Up next here though apparently the draft it's up in
the air. Where's it gonna end up? We will discuss
right here on FSR.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Levar's a racist.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
How come you're covering up your camera during on zoom
during the breaks?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Uh, because you need my privacy?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Damn se me y'all up in my spacey.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Like what you're looking at. No, we're gonna have Lee's
leftovers coming up here about twelve minutes from now here.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Jonas is all right, Jonis is all right. Jonas is
all right with me.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
If you're a big fan of draft chatter, make sure
you stick around for Lee's leftover. It's coming up here
a little over twelve minutes from now. It's brilliantly done,
by the way. Speaking of the Draft, Michael McCarthy, Front
Office Sports, says that Netflix will not bid on the
rights to televise the Draft when it comes up next year,
but the Fox is going to join esp and Google.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Oh what network is that? Fox?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Nice?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Why would look?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I know, maybe you get priced out, but I would assume,
like I can't think of another non like a sporting
event that's not an actual game that does better than
the Draft. As far as the amount of interest discussion,
talk like as far as a non actual game, the
(27:30):
Draft is at the top of the list, and so
it's surprising to see that Netflix would pull out. But
now you've got Fox entering the fray with the potential
of that opening up next year.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Can we get a drum roll please? As I'll read
off the.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Numbers for last year's Draft that appeared on ABC, ESPN,
ESPN two and the NFL network, can we get a
drum roll? Twelve million viewers for the first round. So
to back up your point, how many people are tuning
in that time of year for a sporting event?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
All right?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
So I guess I just say a non sporting event,
even though it's about sports. I mean, you've got your
your major golf tournaments, you've got your major horse races.
You know, you'll have some of their moments. Obviously Stanley
Cup will come later on, but like at that time
of year, kudos to the NFL because they've made it now,
especially with it rotating different cities. They've made an event
for people who want to go to it, and they've
(28:24):
made it an event for people who want to watch
it because it is quite possibly the best reality TV ever.
And I just go back to my draft day. I
mean sitting there in the green room in New York
waiting for hours, and I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
No one knew.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I mean, I guess maybe the team's behind the scenes
that were kind of working and if they're going to
trade up or not.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
But like I found out when everyone.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Else found out, Like, that's kind of the most amazing
thing that is true reality TV that it doesn't have
to be scripted, man, Like this stuff just happens. And
it's it's cool that Fox wants to be a part
of it. Obviously, I'm a part of Fox. I hope
to be a part of that process. But it's even
cooler that you, look, this has become that big of
a deal.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Now it's the super Bowl for bad teams. Like, it's
where bad teams get to take center stage and be like, hey,
look at this. You basically give fan bases hope and
for that night, and if it's only for that night,
it's where you take the best of two worlds. You
take the biggest sport, the NFL, the second biggest sport,
college football, and it's all on center stage in one night.
(29:26):
Like to me, like, that's why people love this stuff
because you're combining both of those fan bases, everything all
in one under one roof, and it's a three day extravaganza.
It's awesome, man, And I wouldn't be surprised with the
ratings did even better this year based on what we've seen.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
So interesting. What do you think, Bar, You know, people
watch the Draft. I think it holds a lot of intrigue,
and I think that the NFL has done a solid
job of making it. You know, I guess must see
TV in a lot of ways. Obviously, when you have
(30:06):
a ton of conversations leading up to the draft in
terms of the speculation, in terms of the criticisms and
all of the you know kind of generated you know,
I guess what drama that's connected to the prospects and
the teams and what they're going to do. I think
(30:26):
it becomes I think it becomes very interesting because if
you're whether you're a fan of your team or you're
a fan of just the league itself, the moving around,
like it's such an easy sport to be like, you know,
I'm putting my GM hat on and I'm going to
make decisions and this is how I look at it,
and different things like that. It's so easy to do that,
(30:49):
and I think that makes it more interactive, which, by
the way, technology is allowed for more interactive viewing and
being a part of of you know, events like the draft.
So yeah, I mean there's a lot of creative ways
to keep building it.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Can I put you guys up in a little game,
you know where the draft really starts. It starts early
with these players decide to go to their respective colleges.
And we are one hundred and fifty days away from
the start of the twenty twenty five college football season today,
get excited and it all kicks off in my homeland,
(31:29):
you know, Dublin, Ireland with Iowa State, Kansas State, and Dublin.
How awesome is that going to be Stafford versus as
at Hawaii too? In week zero Fresno State going to
Lawrence to take on Kansas and Sam Houston at Western
Kentucky down there in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
I cannot wait only one hundred and fifty days away? Man?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
How about that? How about Bill Mapple?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And it's not called week zero, no disrespect, No, that's
back one by. They should be packed house for Iowa
State and who they playing in Dublin again? It's Iowa State,
Kansas State.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, House, I'm sure I think you're working towards being sarcastic.
He's trying to be, but he doesn't realize that that
game will probably be sold out.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
What I don't.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Understand, I mean, why take them over there if you're
not going to sell it out? You know you gotta
identified the fan bases will support.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
The next to Dublin, Ireland. The most Irish people on
on planet Earth is actually in Manhattan, Kansas. You didn't
know that?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Yeah, I'm just saying you're being sarcastic, bro.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
The Irish pub capital of the world.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
So I don't know why you know you would think that,
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Man. Here's what I do know.
Speaker 2 (32:46):

Speaker 7 (34:22):
Some notable tweets here for you. We talked about some
some visits cam Ward with the Titans and whatnot. How
about giants will take a visit this week from Travis
Hunter and his entire entourage this week that includes Hunters
that well, that includes you know, Travis Hunter's family, his girlfriend,
and even his girlfriend's boyfriend will take a tour of
the facility.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
According to Wes, the girlfriend boyfriend say that again, what
does that mean? Even his girlfriend's boyfriend what what does
that mean?
Speaker 3 (34:48):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (34:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
We got to read into this, le Let's break it down.
Hunter's family, his girlfriend, and even his girlfriend's boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Travis Hunter Junior is attending as well, Right, that's who
they're referring to.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Exactly what I'm okay, I'm confused.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, they're I think it's kind of a let you
know who the.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Real star is here? Travis Hunter, Travis Hunter's girlfriend and
Travis Hunter's boyfriend. So they're taking a stab at them,
but they're creating another person even though they're saying it's
the person that is going that is the boyfriend because
she is the main attraction. Is that what you're saying?
I mean, it's like like mister Arrington or like you know,
(35:37):
like you know, like I'm Tricia's husband or yeah, okay,
all right, I guess that's weird though, But all right,
let's ratt all off another one. How about this?
Speaker 7 (35:46):
The real contest between b YU and Alabama is which
fan base has the more complicated family tree.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Oh gosh, I mean you could go a lot of
different directions on this one. I mean, what do you
think they're implying there with Alabama versus b YU.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Didn't they take their tree out? I mean take the
tree out?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
YU has got a lot of roots, or that was
the opposite. They've got a lot there and Alabama's.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
You're talking about like sister wives type stuff like what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Well, listen, we're just just reading the tweets.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I mean, yeah, come.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
On, look, I just lean into this a little bit more.
I mean, what what do you think happens in the South.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Uh, well, that's different. In the South, they go a
little younger, you know, younger.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I think they were maybe referring to maybe because a
little young connecting or something.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I mean that too, I guess, I don't know, definitely
a little younger. Uh you know that's interesting, you know, Okay, Wow,
that's that they went deep on them.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
They business.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
That's what I'm saying. Isn't aren't girlfriends, wives, you know, kids,
Aren't they supposed to be off limits on stuff like this.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I don't know. I think even how you get there
is unique. I mean, there there are some similarities.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I mean, I guess if we're talking about the BYU
fan base, you'd say, like they're they're trying to get
married quick in order to be able to get married.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Again, have those families.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
But then in the South, that's like the same thing.
Like a lot of people get married young in the South,
so they have that in common.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
I mean, multiplying your family is certainly easier if you're
able to have more than one wife. I would assume
it's just simple arithmetic. You know, you could potentially have
an entire starting lineup, you know, and one go around,
you know, one little pregnancy cycle. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Well, I mean in some parts of the country, may
not even have to.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Leave the house. I see. I would figure you have
to leave the house because you got a whole lot
of money you got to make. But you mean they
work too, They have the babies and they go work.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
You know.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Again, we're just deep man, reading tweets. You know these
are this is very deep. These are very These are
pretty deep conversations that you're opening up right now. But
go ahead.
Speaker 7 (38:02):
Deep cuts. Indeed, in fact, I have an FSR I
R today for you.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Deep cut.
Speaker 7 (38:06):
Not a paper cut, but you know, the serrated stuff
on the aluminum foil slash parchment paper when you tear
it off, cut me all the way below the fingernail,
all the way across. I was putting something else in
the in the drawer, and as I was pulling my
hand out straight across through the fingernail.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Yeah, you gotta post a picture. And then we got
to see how it heals. Because you hailed differently than
everyone else.
