Speaker 1 (00:00):

am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. You can find your

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Give this You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio two.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
That is two.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It was LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox, and then
the Wi Fi gods at Levar's location decided.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, actually, I actually have a different theory.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Can I Can I give you that theory?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We need some maybe some conspiracy theory will kick Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, it's just a little bit of Robert Stacks here.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
All right, what have we got?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I've noticed a trend and it all starts with our
group chat for our show. It appears that every single
time there is a message sent from Jonas Knox. Now
this message, it takes you down a rabbit hole, and
that rabbit hole exists on Instagram, and that rabbit hole
(01:31):
is very distracting.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Just put it that way, I mean you need to
put on blinders. I mean just close you right now.
I mean just in order to.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Not be distracted by the content Jonas Knox likes to
share in our messages. And I think what happens is
LeVar clicks, he goes down that wormhole, and we don't
hear back from him about ten minutes fifteen minutes at
a time.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I don't know what he's doing during that period of time,
but it appears that he gets has technical issues, there's
some other things that are going on. I think my
personal theory is he just unplugs from the Internet and
takes some time to himself because some of the stuff
that's being sent over.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Is it's tough. It's tough to focus on anything else.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, And then like he comes back and he's always
complaining about how his forums are tired, and I don't
understand what that means.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Super By the way, did you notice the energy came
out at the beginning of the show, And then after
that he comes back, he's like he's almost like he's
lost like a pound.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Weight.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Now, the the Instagram reel that I sent over to
you was actually sent over to me by Lee, and
I saw it because I don't trust anything nowadays. I
think anything could be Ai. And I looked at that
and I said, that's Ai. And Lee swears that that
woman who's a rocket is walking through the Vonnds that
(03:04):
he goes to to get his pre marinated steaks. Is
that correctly? That is in fact correct.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I've done quite a good extensive amount of research on this,
maybe a little stocking, some would say, and I've figured
out that this is in fact my neighborhood vons and
my neighborhood trader Joseph. I can keep on going through
her uh her content, Uh yeah, very much so. So
that's what I sent to you because I said I
got my marinated stakes from here. I think that's where
(03:31):
the gas came from.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You know, what a what a world we live in
where her job is dress up in close to nothing
and just walk around supermarkets and then post it on
social media. And she's so effective at it that LeVar
ops out of doing the last hour of the show.
Good for her, It's an honest living, I guess. Yeah, yeah,
(03:55):
kudos to her not slinging drugs.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
There's obviously a market for it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Clear correct, rightly.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's correct, Clearly there is. Well what are you playing
on leaf for?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
He said he stalked her page?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So I was just researching.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Are you getting jealous?
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
No, jealousy doesn't exist in us Scorpios?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, is that true?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I thought?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Actually, scorpios are really and we're the worst.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I say, I'm a scorpio. I don't describe myself as jealous.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
But uh, oh, I forgot. We're birthday twins. Yeah, ware's
here's the twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Also my first girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Why did I not know that?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You didn't know?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's been a slow morning for me.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I was solo with all five this weekend. That would
have been my iur story, like I survived. None of
the kids died. But buddy, let me tell you we were.
We were grinding there for for a couple of those nights.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
By the way, what's the week got for you?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
With you guys in the big game, are you doing
any special? I mean it's a home game for you,
but are you doing any special special programming, special, rehearsal special?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
You know, I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
We've got conference call later on today, so we'll get
a sense for it. I'm just breaking down film. I've
told you I'm a football meadhead. Everyone knows that, or
some people probably know that. I'm a dork about it,
and it's probably why I'm a better suited for like
game analysis than I am actually doing a studio show,
because I like the x's and o's, Like I like
(05:19):
looking like if I was gonna.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Do something right now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That my takeaway going into Ohio State Michigan is or
excuse me, jesus, Ohio State Texas is it's that like,
if you look at the wide receiver core for Ohio State,
they're top three receivers I think are the best in
college football. Obviously Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, and then you've
got Brandon Enis, who not enough people talk about. And
there's also some others too that are really good. But
(05:43):
there's gonna be so much attention and focus on those
three that I actually think it's gonna be more like
you they get down in the red zone, it's basically
gonna be like they're gonna run the Ohio State is
gonna run the football in or the tight ends are
gonna become a big target for them in my opinion. Now, look,
maybe Texas defensively feels like they can match up and
they're willing to sacrifice some guys going one on one
(06:05):
with Jeremiah Smith. But I look at it and think,
based on how the last game went and looking at
what they have now at tight end and in the
running back room, that's what I'd try to make them do.
I would try to make Julian saying, who's not an
experienced quarterback get to that you know, condensed portion of
the field and feel the pressure to get the ball
(06:25):
to Jeremiah Smith of some of these other playmakers, and
not just take what the defense gives them, you know,
not just you know, use his legs, scramble up maybe
getting the end zone and get the first down, or
find that tight end or find that running back the checkdown.
That would be what I would try to do to
try to get off the field and force a house
state to kick field.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Goals, not score touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But going back, watching back last year's game and then
looking at the personnel and the matchups, that's how I
would handle it. So we'll see if that comes to fruition.
But it's gonna be a great I can't wait for
this game. I mean, it's arguably the biggest opener ever
in college football history.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's one of those at least, so.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, probably like what like what.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
At a minimum it's number what two verse three? Depending
what polls you're looking at.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, And I'm trying to think of other big matchups.
There was Alabama. USC was a few years ago, but
USC I think that was a long time ago, and
they were in the twenties when Alabama was I think
number one. But yeah, this, yeah, it probably is.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, probably well back when the coaches poll came out
and I believe the coaches pool, did they have them
at one and two.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Texas Ohio State?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Double check for me, But I remember seeing that note
was this is the biggest matchup the law to start
a season.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I in the coaches poll, Texas one, Ohio State two.
In the AP it's one and three. Who's that? Who's
the school at two?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
LaVar?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Can you think of a time where a season kicked
off with the number one versus number three matchup?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I can't help us.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
But no, I know when I was a what in
my last year, it was Arizona was two and maybe
we were like four something like that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
That was pretty high.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
But a one versus a three, No, I don't because
that's that's like see that used to be season, you know,
like suicide, Like, hey, why would you because.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You couldn't lose.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Back then, that's right, you can't lose.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Yeah, So it was like that would be like why
would you even why would you do that? But now
it just you know, it seems to make sense. Like
if you're going to I feel like, if you're going
to do it and try to build some clout for
your season, take a big game like that, because I
feel like, if you feel like your your schedule is
(08:53):
favorable moving throughout the year and you don't want to
be judged as one that has like week of schedule
to be considered to be serious, take a chance.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Take it early, you know, take it early.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Don't take it late when mistakes have gone all the
way up and you're being judged. I feel like you're
judged differently at the end of the season versus how
you're judged early on.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
So this would be the time to do it.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
If you're gonna take that type of risk, I think
this would be the time to do it, especially if
you're going outside of conference obviously.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Man, I can't wait. That's exciting. That's I mean, that's
that's one.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Of those lives. It gets you don't eat before you go.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't want to be interrupted by a bowel movement
at any point in time during like before the show,
during the show, during the game, Like I'm gonna starve
myself on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I'm gonna starve myself until after the game.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm just I'm telling you right now, like I don't
want to be interrupted by you know, anything calling me.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You know what I'm saying. I know you know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Lee, don't care.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Lee, did you shave your face into like a different
thing hair? Look there, you've got like a it looks
like a molt's going out. And then you've got more
of like the Kenny Powers.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Look, yeah, the Kenny Powers does make its way around
once a year. Uh No, Actually it kind of needs
a trim more than anything.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Maybe it's growing.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Out, by the way, folks. That's Lee admiring himself as
he talked into the mic, admiring.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
How good his facial hair looks he's feeling good about
himself this morning.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He is feeling myself.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Yeah, go figuratively and literally, LaVar, how are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I feel better? Now?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
You know they're there, the ser I'm out the football
building as usual, in my usual space. But they're you know,
they're they're doing all of these last before the gang
get gets here. They're doing like these testings and stuff
like that. And that's where the servers are is in
in Beaver Stadium. So so yeah, so when they they're
(10:59):
test the power, the servers go out, and thus the
reason why I've gone offline several times during it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now do they have is there temporary stands that are
up right now they're using for this year?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
There are somewhere, Yes, there are.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Someone told me that they look suspect as hell, is
what they texted me, and that I wouldn't step foot
on those things for a game.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
There because people got got a chance to see them
without the backing.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, you like you could drop a phone right through
or something.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Right, That's what it appears to look like, but that's
not how it is. But I will say that is
they're just regular stands that you would be on at
a high school football. Yeah, they're just regular stands. They're
just high is hell. So what they did was terrified. Dude,
(11:49):
that is I'm not going a lot to you, bru like.
So what they did was to you know, you know,
people are very simple, so you know, to get people
to cross bridges. When they started making bridges. You know
how they got people to trust going across the bridge.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
The lion well close.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Very close.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
They they they put a car on the bridge, created
a parade of celebrations of sorts that they were able
to actually connect two different worlds together by a bridge.
And they put an elephant on on the bridge.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So where's this act? Because that doesn't sound like America?
Where would this take?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It was America? It was?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
It was was it connecting Pennsylvania to Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
It was?
Speaker 8 (12:39):
It was something where getting across this one river in
particular that the bridge was super important.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I forget what it was, but it was the first
bridge made.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The field don't seem indigenous?
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Was St.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Louis to where the probably across to uh from a
there in Illinois?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Yeah maybe maybe, but elephants won't go. It was it
was believed that elephants could feel danger. So as they're walking,
if they felt like it was unstable, they would have
turned turned back and went back the other way, which
would have been a tremendous loss and and a very
(13:21):
big slide and andhant.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Go across the bridge there people will follow.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I've actually read that that elephants aren't fond of Saint Louisa.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Did you really?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
I don't know what that had to do with a
crossing the bridge, but it crossed the bridge. And and
the reason why I brought up that was one, nobody's
going to look at a big ass elephant be like, Okay,
the elephant can go, and then there's a car right
behind it.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I can get across this bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
They speaking of this all right southwest by the way,
I'm not sure if you guys have seen.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
This, because southwest.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Around them up.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
They're gonna start charging the elephants that ride their planes
for both seats.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
They're just they're gonna start charging them, I guess starting six.
So yes, did you see that? Yeah for big bodies,
for big body, big.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
Body, if you come in the biggest, Yeah, you come
up in there, you get you your fat ass to Now.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Now let me Uh, let me ask you what is.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
What would be probably have to get two seats?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What would be considered an elephant?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Like?
Speaker 8 (14:32):
What what made I'm a little I'm a mini elephist.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Stop by the way, I mean the meat wagon. I
texted a buddy. I was like, I said, neat wagon,
gonna have to pay for two seats. He's a he's
quite a you know, it's not dainty.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like a little bit anything and above.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He doesn't weigh that much, but he's definitely big enough
to be able to make you not want to sit
next to him.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'll put it that way, like he's.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
One of those people you put in the window or
aisle if you're boarding Southwest, and then you don't have
to worry about a middle seat because no one wants
to sit next to that.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You know.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
They just start handing out fart satations for people like
and snoring citations for people like Lee, so that if
they if they violate too many times, they have to
buy an extra seat. Matter of fact, they have to
buy an entire row to be able to travel. I
think that that that makes a ton of sense, makes
a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What do you do with the SBDS? How you can
improve it.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Uh, you know they got those censors these days.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
By the way I'm looking at I was looking up
the temporary bleachers at Beaver Stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
F that so look.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
So they took, they took and this is funny.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Hey, listen, listen.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
They spent the money on the team, all right, they
spend much money for you to sit there and watch them.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
All that went to n I l all right, this
is this is funny. City is very true. They took
the freshmen. They had a social video. They took the freshman,
heaviest dudes, the linemen, and they took them up and
walked on to the bleachers and sat on the bleachers
to show that the bleachers were indeed safe and sturdy.
(16:14):
Thus the lead in story of the elephant going across
the bridge.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Like, I don't think.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
This will be the game per se, that people will
sit on those bleachers. But I just in my mind,
and I don't want to be the one that is
the bear of bad news because I am such a
stone cold supporter of Penn State.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
But I mind, if my mind is like.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
In place that it should be wide out weekend, that place.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Is going to be rocking.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
I just don't want to be rocking in those stands,
in that part of the stands, And that's to me,
that's that's what's like percolating with me right now. I
mean the joints are stable. They I mean, yeah, they're stable.
They they did, they're the construction crew has from all
(17:12):
things I got. I was with Pat Craft for about
two hours yesterday. Yeah, we had a really you know,
we had really good talk, really, you know, just a
really great interaction and a lot of information was kind
of exchanged, and I mean he was he you know,
(17:33):
he said, it's been it's been a grind for for
the construction company and what they've been doing and trying
to make sure that with all of the construction. It's
like the biggest renovation of a college football stadium, I
believe ever. So it's it's like there's a lot to
be done, but you're not going to get it all
(17:53):
done in one off season, right, so you gotta have it,
you know, up and ready to go for the season
that follows you starting the construction. So it's a very
challenging thing. If you're going to update your update, you
if you're not just adding seats, right, Like a lot
of stadiums. They will add seats like the Horseshoe. They
(18:14):
filed in the horseshoe, Like that's not crazy to say, Okay,
build up the back of the stadium, you know, ad
ad seats there or whatever. But they're doing like they
went all out with this. It's gonna take some time.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean, what's the plant?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
You know, people have had like fifteen sixteen man cans
in the parking lot. They're going to walk up that steep.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Step there, Hey, Jonas, I don't you know, I don't
know what to tell you on if somebody is actually
going to get fried and faded and head up there
to sit and watch, I don't.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I have no idea.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
I would assume is there going to be somebody who
makes it a thing, makes it a deal where we
got to talk about it. I would bet that there's
going to be at least one person that makes it
a conversation.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, I would bet. I would bet the I bet
the bank on it.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, bring your parachute.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
There you go, it's that high too.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Were we supposed to do a game show here? Wasn't
that what we had scripted out?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I mean yeah, I mean, do you want some of
this smoke. You guys think you're ready, I don't know
what the.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Game we say, can we save it for the next
segment so we can get the full I mean it's
a great tease.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Well, we need to talk about the NFC North at
some point because Jonas keeps finding a way of getting
lead to put in the rundown. It's unbelievable, like the
amount of time Jonas gets Chicago sports in just for
our listeners.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So you know, Jonas, I get Chicago sports in. Why
would I be pushing Chicago sports.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Every because of Wide? You know?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Okay, I assumed because the Cubs swept the Angels this weekend, listen,
I got and look, I mean that's just that's the
way things are.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
But why would you why would you care about that?
I mean, did you have to have family? Maybe in
a certain part maybe Monmouth, Elnon.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's a great point.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Home Wider, the biggest, the largest birthplace of Wider.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's true. By the way, Lorena's got a Cubs hat
on today. Came in she got a Cups hat, Cubs socks.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh where'd you get that?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Lorena Fever one of our amazing Ben Mallard Militia members.
Tree came in tonight from Chicago and he brought us
all gift bags and my socks have my tech Queen
name on him like personalized.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
How cool.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I also have a baseball that has the Cubs on it.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And I got ups hat boo is that feel Lee hate?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
And some and some popcorn popcorn too.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Somebody stole Lee's tie. Ah, you snooze, you lose.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Damn right, he sleeps too much. Oh, I found a
new moniker this week. Lee needs to take a nap.
Lead to nap.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
No, it's still take a lap, Lee. You will not
you will not escape take a lap.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Ever that's true. Yeah, ever no, because your take a lap.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Dude, sit on the lap, Leah. I think Lee, I
think you're doing a great job. Just thanks. I just
want to point that out.
Speaker 4 (21:23):

Speaker 2 (23:26):
This song stinks, bro, What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Why can't you appreciate any other genre, any other artist
in any other music?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Realm is.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Just friend? I feel like it's deep seated jealousy.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Not at all. Dang, you were never able to get awesome.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
I agree, Damn var you were never able to get
your career off the ground, and now you hate on
everybody else. I don't I don't find that to be cute, Jonas,
not at all.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
I'm just listening.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
What do you mean just because you're singing wasn't good enough? Damn,
just because you didn't sing this song and somebody else
was successful singing, it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Mean you have to.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I got news for you.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Give us the news.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
My band has probably gotten more radio play than anybody
in the country.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Okay, but but okay, hold on, hold on for a second.
Let me just test you into something. Now, if you
exclude weekends and then overnights, how much play has it gotten?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
No radio?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Okay, all right, Because, as.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Most don't realize this, Jonas will play his band's music
on his own shows, which, by the way, nice graphic
and imaging that you've think from your own show now
that it looks just like the Jewel Clatch Show. Every
time I look at him, like, that's basically a knockoff
of the Jewel Clatch Show. And you were a step behind,
so announced the Jonas knock Show, but he already has jkss.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
That's how it's done on Saturdays, all right. Don't listen
to that Nickel and Dime undercard show that comes on
before mine. Don't don't worry about that that's how it's done.
On Saturdays.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
We do uh, we do reads. You know, we we
we have we have deals. You know, we have brand deals.
I'm just saying, man, you know, it's a show. It's
not it's not even a part of the weekend Fox
Sports Radio lineup.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
It's actually a show.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
So I'm just saying, you must be talking about a
different show because you know we're a show, not not
a you know, not part of the lineup. Gradually, That's
what I'm saying, you know, don't. Yeah, you sound like
a hater again. Once again. I hate on you so
bad heading into the show though, I ain't gonna lie,
(25:48):
bro it be it's really bad. It's so bad.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Did we have a game show?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Do we have anything? Let's get let's do the game.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Do it in a minute to uh, we're going to
do it in a minute. I want to kill you
guys with some Kills primers because everyone knows first impression,
start with the first coat. That's why you can trust
Kills primers for a smooth and professional finish. Kills Primers
now available exclusively at the Home Depot. If you're a pro,
(26:19):
you know, sponsored by the Home Depot.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
All right, So.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Did you guys happen to did you guys happen to
see the news that Carson Wentz, once thought to be
the next big thing in the NFL, has found a
new home Wins. He will be the backup to kJ
McCarthy in Minnesota. So the Vikings traded Sam Howel to
the Eagles. Brett Rippen got released, and so there's a
(26:47):
thought that the Vikings are trying to acquire that and
bringing that extra pick because they're working on a deal
to maybe bring Adam Thielen back to Minnesota. All right,
So there's that, and then there's this.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
There's your NFC North news and backs the Bears, go ahead, Jones.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Then there's this game show time.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Oh wow, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
This now makes six teams for Carson Wentz. And not
only six teams, but we're talking one every single year
since he's left the Philadelphia Eagles. He's on a new
team every single year since leaving the Eagles back in
(27:32):
twenty twenty. So we're gonna start one at a time.
Can you name the teams Carson Wentz has played for
since Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Radio, Yes, Indianapolis Colts, that is.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Correct, the Indianapolis Colts. He was one of many who
have been trying to fill the sheep too.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
I'm aware of two teams. I believe, I know he
played for my team. So he played for the Washington
Ridskins now known as the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm glad be clarified, Brady Quinn.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Next, do you want me to go with the one
that I think LeVar doesn't know?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Please?
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Don't go with the one I do know, because I'm in.
I'm out in deep water if you say it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah. So do you want me to go with the
one you don't know that I know.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You don't know?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yes, please?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The one that you don't know is the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Oh, come on, man, that that that's like that that
was my bullet.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
That was olver bullet.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
You knew that one that was my That was because
I remember his uniform matched his hair like that.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I'm now, I'm out. I'm out.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
That is the Redheads. By the way, See, I thought
this one would be easy for you. The last one,
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
You really don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
The last one I'm out I had kc Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I would have thought you knew the Rams cause as
you've lived in southern California, nope.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And by the way, I if I have this correct,
I think he snapped they're losing streak against the Niners.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I think he started that game. Carson Wentz started that game.
We wouldn't even remember, so, yes, that is correct. And
literally I had to watch regional games. I told you
all that before I wouldn't even know Eagles, Colts, Commanders, Rams, Chiefs,
Now Vikings. And this guy was the next big thing
(29:37):
like this, like that's how quick things turned. He was
thought to be all everything. You go back to the
to the Super Bowl year, and now he's just kind
of bouncing around the league just kind of you know,
come to terms with the fact that you know, he's
probably just this is what his lot in the NFL
is going to be, just going to be a backup.
He'll make you know, great living doing it, but he's
(30:00):
gonna be the the answer in case there's any issues
with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
There made a Pro Bowl is a Pro Bowler?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, your guy.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, by the way, on that note, can you believe
the Browns cut their only Pro Bowl quarterback?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, their only Pro Bowl came back in Ross.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
She said that. I was like, what about Flacco and
then I realized he's never made.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
A probo crazy, which is which is crazy considering again,
Flacco has been the Super Bowl MVP and played forever,
has played at a really, really high level, but also
during a period of time where the Super Bowl hit
a lot different than it did when Tyler Hunting was
able to qualify for it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
But also again it goes back to you had Tom,
you had.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Peyton, like you had this string of quarterbacks that are
in the AFC for a period of time Roethlisberger. I mean,
now you've got obviously Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I mean, you're dealing with a slew of guys.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You but think about Joe Burrow last year. You could
make it a case that Lamar jack Action, Joe Burrow
should have won the MVP over Josh Allen at least
statistically speaking, And you know they fall the wayside just
because the media wanted Josh Allen more so, where Josh
should have won it two years ago and Lamar probably
should have won it last year.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Seez Saguon Barkley should have won it last year. I mean,
if we're just being real about it, but you know what.
He wanted to be a good stand up dude. His
coach wanted to be a d bag and not make
history with the kid and kept them out of the game.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Was that one of your sticks? Picks didn't you have?
Then you say he was going to play and.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Then he did it? Have none?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
I don't know, I don't I get he should have played.
I know that.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Yeah, he's going to regret that, and I hate that
he's going to have to live with that. Red that
one you got some white cheddar, smart food, upcorn popcorn?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Did you have to include it was smart food?
Speaker 8 (31:58):
I mean, I was just reading off the whole thing
for you. If you don't want me to answer your question,
don't ask.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You're right, Hey, you're right.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That's not bad.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
My bad.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I'll take a step back. That's my fault. I did
ask the question.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Was it in that box of food in the in
the studio there that Lee helped himself to when now he.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Got the players lounge, I got it from the snack
set right off of the right off of the weight room.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Because he's still a player.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I have a playoff play.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
On a separate note, so we talked a little bit
of a football there's a long time. How many days
do we have, Jonas if you want to look this
up until the actual opening day, like the Thursday night?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Is it two weeks?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Right? For like a week and a half, week and
a half.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And what a lot of fans don't realize is you
know this, the roster's not set, you know they they
a lot of players feel like after that initial cut
to get down to their fifty three man roster, they're like, oh,
I'm saved.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
It's like no, it's no, you're not.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Like I remember being on teams where like during that
first week building up to the first game, guys were
still getting brought to the coach's office, they were releasing
them and then signing them the practice squad, or they
were being released you wouldn't see him again because someone
else picked them up. It is not set until the
game day week one, that first game roster, that's when
(33:20):
like those players are safe or that's when, for the
most part, your team's going to look about eighty percent
of what it should look like for the remainder.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Of the season because you're going to cut the cutdown
is what tomorrow for Eastern time to get down to
fifty three and.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Then yeah, but like I said, even then, there's still
movement because a lot of teams are stashing Agay in
the back end of the roster, and once all the
cuts happen, they'll then try to like release a guy
and then bring him back to the practice squad and
they'll pay him like he's on the active roster because
they can do that, but he'll be on the practice
squad and then they'll bring him back up and down
and all that stuff. So there's definitely some hiding of
(33:54):
some players that you know a team doesn't want to
let go of, but they also know that they're probably
not going to impact that game, at least not week
one or week two. Maybe later in the season, you know,
they might see a lot of promise in that player,
or they could have guys coming back from injury who
they know we're going to impact them. They're like, well,
we need it for depth now, but later on we
may have to move on from this guy, or at
least put them on the practice squad.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
I was staying at the same hotel as the rookies
for the Steelers, and I was walking in to go
to my room and I saw this just giant dude,
and he was walking. I was like, hey, man, you
on steal. He's turning like he's like yeah. I was like, man,
how's it going. He turned and looked at me. He
was like almost like you know, f off. And I
(34:37):
looked at him. I was like, bro, I'm just asking you, like,
how's it going? And he turned to look one more
time and just turned around and just kept walking like
didn't respond or nothing. I was like, you don't have
to be an a hole, like be a cool dude, right,
And I walked away.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
I was like, what an arrogant d bag? Right?
Speaker 8 (34:59):
And I'm sitting there calling him all kinds of names
and stuff like that. And then I stopped and I
thought to myself, I was like, oh snap, it's cut
down day. That dude was no longer a Pittsburgh Steeler.
I'm sitting there asking a Steeler house how's camp going?
Like he was going he was walking into the great
(35:22):
abyss like what's next?
Speaker 4 (35:24):
And I feel bad. I feel bad that.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
The sad thing is is we have seen some guys
play the last football they'll ever play, and they'll ever
play the rest of their lives, and they're now going
to make that transition, so it's it's tough, man, this
is like the worst time of year. I remember being
a player when you make the roster because you go
out there to camp with what ninety or whatever it is.
I mean, there's a lot of dudes out there, and
(35:49):
then you come out after final cuts are made and
you're looking around like, dang, like half these guys got
swooped up, got cut released whatever, like you and you
never talked to him again.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Some of them, it's like you don't see him for years.
So it's it's a sad time for players.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I think for veteran guys who are accustomed to it,
you become callous, you know, honestly, And I remember started
moving around team to team.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
It's like you kind of just were like, all right,
what do I need to know? Who do I need
to know? You know.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And then that's why it's hard for teams that have
a lot of roster over turnover, because they preach you know,
team and loving your teammates, knowing your teammates. I remember
with Mangini and Cleveland, it got to a point where,
like I remember he had Sean.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Rogers at a temvting one time.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Hey, Sean like name this new tight end and and
Sean's like, coach, that dude got here like forty eight
hours ago. Man, He's like I haven't even seen him
till right now, Like how I was I supposed to
know his name? Like there was always so much roster
turnover where like you had like four to five new
dudes between the practice squad and the active roster every
(36:51):
single week between injuries and just everything else that went on.
And it was like, yeah, it's impossible to preach that
as a coach if they're like, how could you possibly.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Know your teammates?
Speaker 4 (37:02):
I stop making friends.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
I ain't even talk to people when they come in
because it's like they're going to they're not even going.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
To be here.
Speaker 2 (37:10):

Give this You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio two.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
That is two.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It was LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox, and then
the Wi Fi gods at Levar's location decided.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, actually, I actually have a different theory.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Can I Can I give you that theory?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We need some maybe some conspiracy theory will kick Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, it's just a little bit of Robert Stacks here.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
All right, what have we got?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I've noticed a trend and it all starts with our
group chat for our show. It appears that every single
time there is a message sent from Jonas Knox. Now
this message, it takes you down a rabbit hole, and
that rabbit hole exists on Instagram, and that rabbit hole
(01:31):
is very distracting.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Just put it that way, I mean you need to
put on blinders. I mean just close you right now.
I mean just in order to.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Not be distracted by the content Jonas Knox likes to
share in our messages. And I think what happens is
LeVar clicks, he goes down that wormhole, and we don't
hear back from him about ten minutes fifteen minutes at
a time.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I don't know what he's doing during that period of time,
but it appears that he gets has technical issues, there's
some other things that are going on. I think my
personal theory is he just unplugs from the Internet and
takes some time to himself because some of the stuff
that's being sent over.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Is it's tough. It's tough to focus on anything else.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, And then like he comes back and he's always
complaining about how his forums are tired, and I don't
understand what that means.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Super By the way, did you notice the energy came
out at the beginning of the show, And then after
that he comes back, he's like he's almost like he's
lost like a pound.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Weight.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Now, the the Instagram reel that I sent over to
you was actually sent over to me by Lee, and
I saw it because I don't trust anything nowadays. I
think anything could be Ai. And I looked at that
and I said, that's Ai. And Lee swears that that
woman who's a rocket is walking through the Vonnds that
(03:04):
he goes to to get his pre marinated steaks. Is
that correctly? That is in fact correct.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I've done quite a good extensive amount of research on this,
maybe a little stocking, some would say, and I've figured
out that this is in fact my neighborhood vons and
my neighborhood trader Joseph. I can keep on going through
her uh her content, Uh yeah, very much so. So
that's what I sent to you because I said I
got my marinated stakes from here. I think that's where
(03:31):
the gas came from.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You know, what a what a world we live in
where her job is dress up in close to nothing
and just walk around supermarkets and then post it on
social media. And she's so effective at it that LeVar
ops out of doing the last hour of the show.
Good for her, It's an honest living, I guess. Yeah, yeah,
(03:55):
kudos to her not slinging drugs.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
There's obviously a market for it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Clear correct, rightly.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's correct, Clearly there is. Well what are you playing
on leaf for?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
He said he stalked her page?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So I was just researching.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Are you getting jealous?
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
No, jealousy doesn't exist in us Scorpios?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, is that true?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I thought?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Actually, scorpios are really and we're the worst.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I say, I'm a scorpio. I don't describe myself as jealous.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
But uh, oh, I forgot. We're birthday twins. Yeah, ware's
here's the twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Also my first girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Why did I not know that?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You didn't know?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's been a slow morning for me.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I was solo with all five this weekend. That would
have been my iur story, like I survived. None of
the kids died. But buddy, let me tell you we were.
We were grinding there for for a couple of those nights.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
By the way, what's the week got for you?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
With you guys in the big game, are you doing
any special? I mean it's a home game for you,
but are you doing any special special programming, special, rehearsal special?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
You know, I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
We've got conference call later on today, so we'll get
a sense for it. I'm just breaking down film. I've
told you I'm a football meadhead. Everyone knows that, or
some people probably know that. I'm a dork about it,
and it's probably why I'm a better suited for like
game analysis than I am actually doing a studio show,
because I like the x's and o's, Like I like
(05:19):
looking like if I was gonna.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Do something right now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That my takeaway going into Ohio State Michigan is or
excuse me, jesus, Ohio State Texas is it's that like,
if you look at the wide receiver core for Ohio State,
they're top three receivers I think are the best in
college football. Obviously Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, and then you've
got Brandon Enis, who not enough people talk about. And
there's also some others too that are really good. But
(05:43):
there's gonna be so much attention and focus on those
three that I actually think it's gonna be more like
you they get down in the red zone, it's basically
gonna be like they're gonna run the Ohio State is
gonna run the football in or the tight ends are
gonna become a big target for them in my opinion. Now, look,
maybe Texas defensively feels like they can match up and
they're willing to sacrifice some guys going one on one
(06:05):
with Jeremiah Smith. But I look at it and think,
based on how the last game went and looking at
what they have now at tight end and in the
running back room, that's what I'd try to make them do.
I would try to make Julian saying, who's not an
experienced quarterback get to that you know, condensed portion of
the field and feel the pressure to get the ball
(06:25):
to Jeremiah Smith of some of these other playmakers, and
not just take what the defense gives them, you know,
not just you know, use his legs, scramble up maybe
getting the end zone and get the first down, or
find that tight end or find that running back the checkdown.
That would be what I would try to do to
try to get off the field and force a house
state to kick field.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Goals, not score touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But going back, watching back last year's game and then
looking at the personnel and the matchups, that's how I
would handle it. So we'll see if that comes to fruition.
But it's gonna be a great I can't wait for
this game. I mean, it's arguably the biggest opener ever
in college football history.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's one of those at least, so.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, probably like what like what.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
At a minimum it's number what two verse three? Depending
what polls you're looking at.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, And I'm trying to think of other big matchups.
There was Alabama. USC was a few years ago, but
USC I think that was a long time ago, and
they were in the twenties when Alabama was I think
number one. But yeah, this, yeah, it probably is.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, probably well back when the coaches poll came out
and I believe the coaches pool, did they have them
at one and two.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Texas Ohio State?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Double check for me, But I remember seeing that note
was this is the biggest matchup the law to start
a season.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I in the coaches poll, Texas one, Ohio State two.
In the AP it's one and three. Who's that? Who's
the school at two?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
LaVar?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Can you think of a time where a season kicked
off with the number one versus number three matchup?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I can't help us.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
But no, I know when I was a what in
my last year, it was Arizona was two and maybe
we were like four something like that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
That was pretty high.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
But a one versus a three, No, I don't because
that's that's like see that used to be season, you know,
like suicide, Like, hey, why would you because.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You couldn't lose.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Back then, that's right, you can't lose.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Yeah, So it was like that would be like why
would you even why would you do that? But now
it just you know, it seems to make sense. Like
if you're going to I feel like, if you're going
to do it and try to build some clout for
your season, take a big game like that, because I
feel like, if you feel like your your schedule is
(08:53):
favorable moving throughout the year and you don't want to
be judged as one that has like week of schedule
to be considered to be serious, take a chance.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Take it early, you know, take it early.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Don't take it late when mistakes have gone all the
way up and you're being judged. I feel like you're
judged differently at the end of the season versus how
you're judged early on.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
So this would be the time to do it.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
If you're gonna take that type of risk, I think
this would be the time to do it, especially if
you're going outside of conference obviously.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Man, I can't wait. That's exciting. That's I mean, that's
that's one.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Of those lives. It gets you don't eat before you go.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't want to be interrupted by a bowel movement
at any point in time during like before the show,
during the show, during the game, Like I'm gonna starve
myself on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I'm gonna starve myself until after the game.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm just I'm telling you right now, like I don't
want to be interrupted by you know, anything calling me.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You know what I'm saying. I know you know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Lee, don't care.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Lee, did you shave your face into like a different
thing hair? Look there, you've got like a it looks
like a molt's going out. And then you've got more
of like the Kenny Powers.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Look, yeah, the Kenny Powers does make its way around
once a year. Uh No, Actually it kind of needs
a trim more than anything.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Maybe it's growing.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Out, by the way, folks. That's Lee admiring himself as
he talked into the mic, admiring.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
How good his facial hair looks he's feeling good about
himself this morning.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He is feeling myself.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Yeah, go figuratively and literally, LaVar, how are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I feel better? Now?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
You know they're there, the ser I'm out the football
building as usual, in my usual space. But they're you know,
they're they're doing all of these last before the gang
get gets here. They're doing like these testings and stuff
like that. And that's where the servers are is in
in Beaver Stadium. So so yeah, so when they they're
(10:59):
test the power, the servers go out, and thus the
reason why I've gone offline several times during it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now do they have is there temporary stands that are
up right now they're using for this year?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
There are somewhere, Yes, there are.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Someone told me that they look suspect as hell, is
what they texted me, and that I wouldn't step foot
on those things for a game.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
There because people got got a chance to see them
without the backing.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, you like you could drop a phone right through
or something.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Right, That's what it appears to look like, but that's
not how it is. But I will say that is
they're just regular stands that you would be on at
a high school football. Yeah, they're just regular stands. They're
just high is hell. So what they did was terrified. Dude,
(11:49):
that is I'm not going a lot to you, bru like.
So what they did was to you know, you know,
people are very simple, so you know, to get people
to cross bridges. When they started making bridges. You know
how they got people to trust going across the bridge.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
The lion well close.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Very close.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
They they they put a car on the bridge, created
a parade of celebrations of sorts that they were able
to actually connect two different worlds together by a bridge.
And they put an elephant on on the bridge.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So where's this act? Because that doesn't sound like America?
Where would this take?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It was America? It was?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
It was was it connecting Pennsylvania to Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
It was?
Speaker 8 (12:39):
It was something where getting across this one river in
particular that the bridge was super important.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I forget what it was, but it was the first
bridge made.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The field don't seem indigenous?
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Was St.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Louis to where the probably across to uh from a
there in Illinois?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Yeah maybe maybe, but elephants won't go. It was it
was believed that elephants could feel danger. So as they're walking,
if they felt like it was unstable, they would have
turned turned back and went back the other way, which
would have been a tremendous loss and and a very
(13:21):
big slide and andhant.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Go across the bridge there people will follow.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I've actually read that that elephants aren't fond of Saint Louisa.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Did you really?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
I don't know what that had to do with a
crossing the bridge, but it crossed the bridge. And and
the reason why I brought up that was one, nobody's
going to look at a big ass elephant be like, Okay,
the elephant can go, and then there's a car right
behind it.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I can get across this bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
They speaking of this all right southwest by the way,
I'm not sure if you guys have seen.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
This, because southwest.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Around them up.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
They're gonna start charging the elephants that ride their planes
for both seats.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
They're just they're gonna start charging them, I guess starting six.
So yes, did you see that? Yeah for big bodies,
for big body, big.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
Body, if you come in the biggest, Yeah, you come
up in there, you get you your fat ass to Now.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Now let me Uh, let me ask you what is.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
What would be probably have to get two seats?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What would be considered an elephant?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Like?
Speaker 8 (14:32):
What what made I'm a little I'm a mini elephist.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Stop by the way, I mean the meat wagon. I
texted a buddy. I was like, I said, neat wagon,
gonna have to pay for two seats. He's a he's
quite a you know, it's not dainty.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like a little bit anything and above.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He doesn't weigh that much, but he's definitely big enough
to be able to make you not want to sit
next to him.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'll put it that way, like he's.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
One of those people you put in the window or
aisle if you're boarding Southwest, and then you don't have
to worry about a middle seat because no one wants
to sit next to that.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You know.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
They just start handing out fart satations for people like
and snoring citations for people like Lee, so that if
they if they violate too many times, they have to
buy an extra seat. Matter of fact, they have to
buy an entire row to be able to travel. I
think that that that makes a ton of sense, makes
a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What do you do with the SBDS? How you can
improve it.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Uh, you know they got those censors these days.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
By the way I'm looking at I was looking up
the temporary bleachers at Beaver Stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
F that so look.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
So they took, they took and this is funny.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Hey, listen, listen.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
They spent the money on the team, all right, they
spend much money for you to sit there and watch them.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
All that went to n I l all right, this
is this is funny. City is very true. They took
the freshmen. They had a social video. They took the freshman,
heaviest dudes, the linemen, and they took them up and
walked on to the bleachers and sat on the bleachers
to show that the bleachers were indeed safe and sturdy.
(16:14):
Thus the lead in story of the elephant going across
the bridge.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Like, I don't think.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
This will be the game per se, that people will
sit on those bleachers. But I just in my mind,
and I don't want to be the one that is
the bear of bad news because I am such a
stone cold supporter of Penn State.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
But I mind, if my mind is like.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
In place that it should be wide out weekend, that place.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Is going to be rocking.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
I just don't want to be rocking in those stands,
in that part of the stands, And that's to me,
that's that's what's like percolating with me right now. I
mean the joints are stable. They I mean, yeah, they're stable.
They they did, they're the construction crew has from all
(17:12):
things I got. I was with Pat Craft for about
two hours yesterday. Yeah, we had a really you know,
we had really good talk, really, you know, just a
really great interaction and a lot of information was kind
of exchanged, and I mean he was he you know,
(17:33):
he said, it's been it's been a grind for for
the construction company and what they've been doing and trying
to make sure that with all of the construction. It's
like the biggest renovation of a college football stadium, I
believe ever. So it's it's like there's a lot to
be done, but you're not going to get it all
(17:53):
done in one off season, right, so you gotta have it,
you know, up and ready to go for the season
that follows you starting the construction. So it's a very
challenging thing. If you're going to update your update, you
if you're not just adding seats, right, Like a lot
of stadiums. They will add seats like the Horseshoe. They
(18:14):
filed in the horseshoe, Like that's not crazy to say, Okay,
build up the back of the stadium, you know, ad
ad seats there or whatever. But they're doing like they
went all out with this. It's gonna take some time.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean, what's the plant?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
You know, people have had like fifteen sixteen man cans
in the parking lot. They're going to walk up that steep.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Step there, Hey, Jonas, I don't you know, I don't
know what to tell you on if somebody is actually
going to get fried and faded and head up there
to sit and watch, I don't.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I have no idea.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
I would assume is there going to be somebody who
makes it a thing, makes it a deal where we
got to talk about it. I would bet that there's
going to be at least one person that makes it
a conversation.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, I would bet. I would bet the I bet
the bank on it.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, bring your parachute.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
There you go, it's that high too.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Were we supposed to do a game show here? Wasn't
that what we had scripted out?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I mean yeah, I mean, do you want some of
this smoke. You guys think you're ready, I don't know
what the.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Game we say, can we save it for the next
segment so we can get the full I mean it's
a great tease.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Well, we need to talk about the NFC North at
some point because Jonas keeps finding a way of getting
lead to put in the rundown. It's unbelievable, like the
amount of time Jonas gets Chicago sports in just for
our listeners.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So you know, Jonas, I get Chicago sports in. Why
would I be pushing Chicago sports.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Every because of Wide? You know?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Okay, I assumed because the Cubs swept the Angels this weekend, listen,
I got and look, I mean that's just that's the
way things are.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
But why would you why would you care about that?
I mean, did you have to have family? Maybe in
a certain part maybe Monmouth, Elnon.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's a great point.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Home Wider, the biggest, the largest birthplace of Wider.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's true. By the way, Lorena's got a Cubs hat
on today. Came in she got a Cups hat, Cubs socks.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh where'd you get that?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Lorena Fever one of our amazing Ben Mallard Militia members.
Tree came in tonight from Chicago and he brought us
all gift bags and my socks have my tech Queen
name on him like personalized.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
How cool.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I also have a baseball that has the Cubs on it.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And I got ups hat boo is that feel Lee hate?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
And some and some popcorn popcorn too.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Somebody stole Lee's tie. Ah, you snooze, you lose.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Damn right, he sleeps too much. Oh, I found a
new moniker this week. Lee needs to take a nap.
Lead to nap.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
No, it's still take a lap, Lee. You will not
you will not escape take a lap.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Ever that's true. Yeah, ever no, because your take a lap.
Speaker 2 (21:14):

This song stinks, bro, What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Why can't you appreciate any other genre, any other artist
in any other music?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Realm is.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Just friend? I feel like it's deep seated jealousy.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Not at all. Dang, you were never able to get awesome.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
I agree, Damn var you were never able to get
your career off the ground, and now you hate on
everybody else. I don't I don't find that to be cute, Jonas,
not at all.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
I'm just listening.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
What do you mean just because you're singing wasn't good enough? Damn,

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Mean you have to.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I got news for you.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Give us the news.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
My band has probably gotten more radio play than anybody
in the country.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Okay, but but okay, hold on, hold on for a second.
Let me just test you into something. Now, if you
exclude weekends and then overnights, how much play has it gotten?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
No radio?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Okay, all right, Because, as.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Most don't realize this, Jonas will play his band's music
on his own shows, which, by the way, nice graphic
and imaging that you've think from your own show now
that it looks just like the Jewel Clatch Show. Every
time I look at him, like, that's basically a knockoff
of the Jewel Clatch Show. And you were a step behind,
so announced the Jonas knock Show, but he already has jkss.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
That's how it's done on Saturdays, all right. Don't listen
to that Nickel and Dime undercard show that comes on
before mine. Don't don't worry about that that's how it's done.
On Saturdays.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
We do uh, we do reads. You know, we we
we have we have deals. You know, we have brand deals.
I'm just saying, man, you know, it's a show. It's
not it's not even a part of the weekend Fox
Sports Radio lineup.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
It's actually a show.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
So I'm just saying, you must be talking about a
different show because you know we're a show, not not
a you know, not part of the lineup. Gradually, That's
what I'm saying, you know, don't. Yeah, you sound like
a hater again. Once again. I hate on you so
bad heading into the show though, I ain't gonna lie,
(25:48):
bro it be it's really bad. It's so bad.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Did we have a game show?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Do we have anything? Let's get let's do the game.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Do it in a minute to uh, we're going to
do it in a minute. I want to kill you
guys with some Kills primers because everyone knows first impression,
start with the first coat. That's why you can trust
Kills primers for a smooth and professional finish. Kills Primers
now available exclusively at the Home Depot. If you're a pro,
(26:19):
you know, sponsored by the Home Depot.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
All right, So.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Did you guys happen to did you guys happen to
see the news that Carson Wentz, once thought to be
the next big thing in the NFL, has found a
new home Wins. He will be the backup to kJ
McCarthy in Minnesota. So the Vikings traded Sam Howel to
the Eagles. Brett Rippen got released, and so there's a
(26:47):
thought that the Vikings are trying to acquire that and
bringing that extra pick because they're working on a deal
to maybe bring Adam Thielen back to Minnesota. All right,
So there's that, and then there's this.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
There's your NFC North news and backs the Bears, go ahead, Jones.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Then there's this game show time.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Oh wow, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
This now makes six teams for Carson Wentz. And not
only six teams, but we're talking one every single year
since he's left the Philadelphia Eagles. He's on a new
team every single year since leaving the Eagles back in
(27:32):
twenty twenty. So we're gonna start one at a time.
Can you name the teams Carson Wentz has played for
since Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Radio, Yes, Indianapolis Colts, that is.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Correct, the Indianapolis Colts. He was one of many who
have been trying to fill the sheep too.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
I'm aware of two teams. I believe, I know he
played for my team. So he played for the Washington
Ridskins now known as the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm glad be clarified, Brady Quinn.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Next, do you want me to go with the one
that I think LeVar doesn't know?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Please?
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Don't go with the one I do know, because I'm in.
I'm out in deep water if you say it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah. So do you want me to go with the
one you don't know that I know.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You don't know?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yes, please?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The one that you don't know is the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Oh, come on, man, that that that's like that that
was my bullet.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
That was olver bullet.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
You knew that one that was my That was because
I remember his uniform matched his hair like that.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I'm now, I'm out. I'm out.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
That is the Redheads. By the way, See, I thought
this one would be easy for you. The last one,
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
You really don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
The last one I'm out I had kc Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I would have thought you knew the Rams cause as
you've lived in southern California, nope.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And by the way, I if I have this correct,
I think he snapped they're losing streak against the Niners.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I think he started that game. Carson Wentz started that game.
We wouldn't even remember, so, yes, that is correct. And
literally I had to watch regional games. I told you
all that before I wouldn't even know Eagles, Colts, Commanders, Rams, Chiefs,
Now Vikings. And this guy was the next big thing
(29:37):
like this, like that's how quick things turned. He was
thought to be all everything. You go back to the
to the Super Bowl year, and now he's just kind
of bouncing around the league just kind of you know,
come to terms with the fact that you know, he's
probably just this is what his lot in the NFL
is going to be, just going to be a backup.
He'll make you know, great living doing it, but he's
(30:00):
gonna be the the answer in case there's any issues
with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
There made a Pro Bowl is a Pro Bowler?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, your guy.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, by the way, on that note, can you believe
the Browns cut their only Pro Bowl quarterback?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, their only Pro Bowl came back in Ross.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
She said that. I was like, what about Flacco and
then I realized he's never made.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
A probo crazy, which is which is crazy considering again,
Flacco has been the Super Bowl MVP and played forever,
has played at a really, really high level, but also
during a period of time where the Super Bowl hit
a lot different than it did when Tyler Hunting was
able to qualify for it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
But also again it goes back to you had Tom,
you had.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Peyton, like you had this string of quarterbacks that are
in the AFC for a period of time Roethlisberger. I mean,
now you've got obviously Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I mean, you're dealing with a slew of guys.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You but think about Joe Burrow last year. You could
make it a case that Lamar jack Action, Joe Burrow
should have won the MVP over Josh Allen at least
statistically speaking, And you know they fall the wayside just
because the media wanted Josh Allen more so, where Josh
should have won it two years ago and Lamar probably
should have won it last year.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Seez Saguon Barkley should have won it last year. I mean,
if we're just being real about it, but you know what.
He wanted to be a good stand up dude. His
coach wanted to be a d bag and not make
history with the kid and kept them out of the game.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Was that one of your sticks? Picks didn't you have?
Then you say he was going to play and.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Then he did it? Have none?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
I don't know, I don't I get he should have played.
I know that.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Yeah, he's going to regret that, and I hate that
he's going to have to live with that. Red that
one you got some white cheddar, smart food, upcorn popcorn?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Did you have to include it was smart food?
Speaker 8 (31:58):
I mean, I was just reading off the whole thing
for you. If you don't want me to answer your question,
don't ask.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You're right, Hey, you're right.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That's not bad.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
My bad.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I'll take a step back. That's my fault. I did
ask the question.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Was it in that box of food in the in
the studio there that Lee helped himself to when now he.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Got the players lounge, I got it from the snack
set right off of the right off of the weight room.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Because he's still a player.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I have a playoff play.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
On a separate note, so we talked a little bit
of a football there's a long time. How many days
do we have, Jonas if you want to look this
up until the actual opening day, like the Thursday night?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Is it two weeks?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Right? For like a week and a half, week and
a half.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And what a lot of fans don't realize is you
know this, the roster's not set, you know they they
a lot of players feel like after that initial cut
to get down to their fifty three man roster, they're like, oh,
I'm saved.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
It's like no, it's no, you're not.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Like I remember being on teams where like during that
first week building up to the first game, guys were
still getting brought to the coach's office, they were releasing
them and then signing them the practice squad, or they
were being released you wouldn't see him again because someone
else picked them up. It is not set until the
game day week one, that first game roster, that's when
(33:20):
like those players are safe or that's when, for the
most part, your team's going to look about eighty percent
of what it should look like for the remainder.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Of the season because you're going to cut the cutdown
is what tomorrow for Eastern time to get down to
fifty three and.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Then yeah, but like I said, even then, there's still
movement because a lot of teams are stashing Agay in
the back end of the roster, and once all the
cuts happen, they'll then try to like release a guy
and then bring him back to the practice squad and
they'll pay him like he's on the active roster because
they can do that, but he'll be on the practice
squad and then they'll bring him back up and down
and all that stuff. So there's definitely some hiding of
(33:54):
some players that you know a team doesn't want to
let go of, but they also know that they're probably
not going to impact that game, at least not week
one or week two. Maybe later in the season, you know,
they might see a lot of promise in that player,
or they could have guys coming back from injury who
they know we're going to impact them. They're like, well,
we need it for depth now, but later on we
may have to move on from this guy, or at
least put them on the practice squad.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
I was staying at the same hotel as the rookies
for the Steelers, and I was walking in to go
to my room and I saw this just giant dude,
and he was walking. I was like, hey, man, you
on steal. He's turning like he's like yeah. I was like, man,
how's it going. He turned and looked at me. He
was like almost like you know, f off. And I
(34:37):
looked at him. I was like, bro, I'm just asking you, like,
how's it going? And he turned to look one more
time and just turned around and just kept walking like
didn't respond or nothing. I was like, you don't have
to be an a hole, like be a cool dude, right,
And I walked away.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
I was like, what an arrogant d bag? Right?
Speaker 8 (34:59):
And I'm sitting there calling him all kinds of names
and stuff like that. And then I stopped and I
thought to myself, I was like, oh snap, it's cut
down day. That dude was no longer a Pittsburgh Steeler.
I'm sitting there asking a Steeler house how's camp going?
Like he was going he was walking into the great
(35:22):
abyss like what's next?
Speaker 4 (35:24):
And I feel bad. I feel bad that.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
The sad thing is is we have seen some guys
play the last football they'll ever play, and they'll ever
play the rest of their lives, and they're now going
to make that transition, so it's it's tough, man, this
is like the worst time of year. I remember being
a player when you make the roster because you go
out there to camp with what ninety or whatever it is.
I mean, there's a lot of dudes out there, and
(35:49):
then you come out after final cuts are made and
you're looking around like, dang, like half these guys got
swooped up, got cut released whatever, like you and you
never talked to him again.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Some of them, it's like you don't see him for years.
So it's it's a sad time for players.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I think for veteran guys who are accustomed to it,
you become callous, you know, honestly, And I remember started
moving around team to team.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
It's like you kind of just were like, all right,
what do I need to know? Who do I need
to know? You know.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And then that's why it's hard for teams that have
a lot of roster over turnover, because they preach you know,
team and loving your teammates, knowing your teammates. I remember
with Mangini and Cleveland, it got to a point where,
like I remember he had Sean.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Rogers at a temvting one time.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Hey, Sean like name this new tight end and and
Sean's like, coach, that dude got here like forty eight
hours ago. Man, He's like I haven't even seen him
till right now, Like how I was I supposed to
know his name? Like there was always so much roster
turnover where like you had like four to five new
dudes between the practice squad and the active roster every
(36:51):
single week between injuries and just everything else that went on.
And it was like, yeah, it's impossible to preach that
as a coach if they're like, how could you possibly.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Know your teammates?
Speaker 4 (37:02):
I stop making friends.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
I ain't even talk to people when they come in
because it's like they're going to they're not even going.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
To be here.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
You like that too, I am?
