(01:49):
a big germ of phone. You both have wipes in
your hand, like, honestly, is it twenty tweve you wiped
on your grocery? Still me too? No, No, I don't
do that.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
And Aaron Torres, who just hosted in The Dug Show,
he also wiped everything down. There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know what I think? You're weird if you don't
well on the airplay licked, taxi cab floors, weird. Do
not learn a lesson? Five years ago, six years ago. No,
you have. You have young kid immunity. That's what you have.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Young children, and they've always got their fingers, you know,
poking them in your eye.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I have.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I haven't been a what's my whole life mentality? Oh
he thinks he's better than us. Play baseball. You play softball,
you lick your hands, then you touch a bat that
everyone else touched. You know, you're playing in the mud
and the dirt. As a kid, I never I'll be honest.
I was never a clean kid. I was just clean,
but I was never like That's why they call you
doodoo cockoff finger David. I was just never the kid

(02:40):
that was like, let me wipe down, let me wash
my hands. Well, okay, you gotta wash your hands. I
was never a clean kid. I was never thirty, asked Davis.
They called them, did you leave the stall without washing
your hands? Rich one of those guys smile will he
is that guy. I will never leave a stall. But
there are times where I'm at my house and I'll

(03:03):
take a number one, and I'm thinking, like, my junk's clean,
what do I need to wash my hands for? See
what I mean, don't shake his hand.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
And if you saw what LeVar Arrington did with that
microphone every morning, rich you'd have a wipe in your
hand exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I know he puts his feet on it. But you
know what, that's why I got immunity, dude, What do
you take every day? I take Vitamin D. I take
my NAD plus because I'm aging in reverse now and NADS.
You take NADS I And I take my Men's daily vitamin.
And you know what, I got little kids that are
boogers exactly. I just think you guys, you've got built

(03:37):
in protection. You guys are gonna you know, you guys
are weak ass immunity for the workplaces down every place,
especially a radio studio. But happy to be here and
let's get into it, man, a big game tonight. You
probably still think happy birthday when you wash your hands
like it's COVID times.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
I do.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
No I and radio stations especially are germ infested dirt
deposits of grime. So Caleb Williams, can we talk about
it's talking about Kayleb Williams. And in fact, as we
say that, so many people talking about this big game
on Sunday, Bears looking for revenge, looking for revenge. They're

(04:15):
playing at home in Chicago before they moved to Indiana,
right playing at Soldier Field. They're slight dogs, which is wild,
and Ben Johnson said his team is ready. They are
pumped up at their shot at the Packers. And in fact,
there's people that think the loser of this game, the
loser of this game could could see their way out

(04:36):
of the playoffs. I don't think that. I think they
both make it. I think Detroit's the odd man out.
But we'll see. That's a big one. But speaking of
the mayors, Caleb Williams, they've never had a good quarterback
the vit think about it, they've never had a good quarterback.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, oh, you could say Jay Cutler was good, God
goods adequate. You could say Rex Grossman at times was
really good and then at times was really bad. But
they haven't had a super Bowl level quarterback since Jim
McMahon years ago. But he wasn't even Yeah, he wasn't
like he was cool though. Yeah, No, he was along
for the ride and did his part.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
But y Man was like Joe Namath on steroids, meaning like, yeah,
he presented cool. He was cool as can me, got
a mullet and shades on head bands. Jimmy Mahon probably
slept with the have your moms. He was so eighties
cool for sure. But he wasn't really good, so did he?
He didn't lead the team to the defense when they

(05:34):
lost that Super Bowl in the rain to the cult
was at six? Who is the quarterback of that gross girls,
come on that. You knew the was gonna happen in
that game? Peyton Manning.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
So Caleb Williams is the best thing that's happened to Chicago, absolutely,
and we're seeing the progression. We're seeing him do better
and better all the time. He's consistently gotten better. So
let's start with some problems. Dare I say the best
thing to happen to Chicago since Michael Jordan? Think of
Chicago sports, the twenty sixteen Cubs, the twenty.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Cubs Cup, black Hawks won a couple Stanley Cubs, but
no one cares about the Blackhawks.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm talking like face of Chicago since Michael Jordan a proman,
that's a good one. He was the sausage King Sebastian
Man of Scalcos from Chicago, chicagg.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
But you're a Roman, the sausage King of Chicago, who is.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
The sausage king of Chicago department was pretty big. But
the twenty sixteen Cubs, that was a that was a
you know, a Rizzo. You know, you had a bunch
of stars on that team, Heywood, you had Chris Bryant
like you had, you know, a squad of great players,
but no one was like the face of that team.
So I'm saying that Caleb Williams could very well be

(06:46):
the best thing that happened to Chicago sports since Michael Jordan.
That's the question in itself. And I saved that free.
And I say that because I'm disappointed in Kayleb Williams. Well,
the story is, and Danny g will elaborate, but Joe
Buck has been outspoken saying that Caleb Williams snubbed Monday
Night Football not once, but twice. Not one the pre yeah,

(07:12):
another one, the pre show meeting. The pre meeting for
Monday Night Football. Caleb Williams was like, nah, but it
goes back with the beef that he had with Troy Aikman.
Aikman apparently very very critical of Caleb Williams, so he
probably kept that in his back pocket. He kept the receipts,
and when we were like, yeah, we need you to
come out for these pregame meetings, he was a no show,

(07:32):
so therefore snubbed them again, not once, but twice. I
always keep the receipts because you ever see Judge Judy,
what does she always want? Let's see every Saints, show
me the receaints. Oh are you? I didn't keep my
CVS receipt that's like Saints, that's eight feet long. Because
Judge Judy's in my head.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, there's deals on those receipts, but you're not going
to go back to CVS two days later to use them.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
No. I keep them just to add to my girlfriend's collection.
You know, all the ones that she leaves on the counter. Oh,
fifty percent of Vidal Sassoon if I buy it in
the next forty eight hours. Yes, So I was just here, dude,
I'm not coming back. What is it with women? I
hate to be sexist. I've been sexist two days in
a row, you know, with women in their water bottles
everywhere receipts everywhere and boxes they building a clubhouse? What

(08:15):
is going on? So I keep the receipts too rich
because I get yelled at if I throw them away.
And apparently Kayleb Williams kept his too. No, he doesn't
like the criticism, but he doesn't like it. But do
you feel it's his obligation as the face of the franchise?
You you've said it yourself just now. He's the best
thing since the Michael Jordan's Slice bread in Chicago. If

(08:36):
he is, shouldn't it be? I can't seem mandatory, but
understood that it's part of the gig to be there,
regardless of your personal feelings of Troy Yikman. I mean
Caleb Williams I find to be a likable guy. Some
might disagree. I think he's I think he's cool. I
think again, this is the question, dude. I just said
he's the best thing to happen in Chicago since Michael Jordan.
I think that shows you. That shows you how I

(08:58):
feel about what Caleb Williams is capable of. But here's
where I where I go a little haywire and say, like, yo,
you're disappointing me. Kiddo, and I say kiddo because he's
like half my age. He's like twenty. We gotta remember
these guys are like twenty years old Caleb Williams much
the same way I criticized Justin Herbert a week ago.
You got to remember I'm consistent here. I was so
disappointed in how Justin Herbert handled his postgame interview, and

(09:22):
some people said I was a whiny bitch, and I'm like, no,
the media is there, and the networks are there, and
all these people are there because they perpetuate and support
your product. So I did not like how Justin Herbert
handled his post game where he's like, yeah, I don't
want to talk to you the same it was a
bad luck. I thought it was. I't mad at us
for calling what we see pan him for doing. I
have a rule. Anytime someone does something, it's the convenion ritual.

(09:44):
I'm sure we're not the only ones to do this,
But I say to myself, well would I do that?
And the equivalent in my world would be if you
said did I do that? I thought it was did
I do that? Ganny Cheese? I think to my said
I do that? I know what did I do that.
What comes with being a broadcaster is being not just

(10:08):
a host on the air, it's being friendly with sales,
being a great team player here at the company. There's
layers to what we do. It's not just the on
air product and what's the most important part and whatever.
Whatever you do for a living, you don't have to
be a radio host to agree that your job isn't
one dimensional. That would be like if I did the
greatest show in the world, but I was like, you
know what I don't want to do. I don't want
to do a tire Iraq read you know, a tire rack.

(10:30):
Great people that support our show, that's part of the game.
If Caleb Williams doesn't want to sit down to do
a Monday night football and part of the business, right,
It's part of the business. It's just what you have
to do, saying young and old athletes, especially if you're
the face he owes it to him. And if anyone

(10:51):
disagrees with me, they're out of their mind. And I
want to come in this studio and to make me
on him. I want to hear from you at eight, seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox because I think if you so,
what's storm right? Now, oh my, you know what you requested,
And here he is, Mike, Mike runs place. Never heard
of him, Big Mica runs his place.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
Never.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
I am tired of never heard ridiculousness.

Speaker 8 (11:14):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
So I believe they owe it to the fans, the
media of the team's everything. They don't owe you a
damn thing. Wow.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
They're not on the radio. They're not getting paid to
talk to you. Now. They may get paid though, yea obligations, sure,
but they don't have to do anything for you.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
That's not their job.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
They got drafted because they can play football, not because
they can talk to the media.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Have you ever heard Colin cow Hurd say quarterback face
because it needs to be more than just a guy
that could sling the ball. You gotta be a face
of the franchise. You gotta have something to say about that. Mike. Actually,
I see your point obviously, right, it's a great point.
All that matters is what he's doing on the field.
But what kind of leader are you? What kind of
leader could you be if you can't even conduct yourself
in a professional way like that, that's on your Can

(12:01):
you really command the locker room and respect from so
you're a.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
General manager you're and you're watching a guy on the
field play quarterback, and you're thinking to yourself, you know what,
he didn't look good in front of the camera.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm not drafting that guy. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 7 (12:15):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I would be on my checklist in the camera right now?

Speaker 5 (12:18):
Look at Okay, I'm not saying you don't consider that
as part of you know, his job, but he doesn't
need to be that guy, and you can work around
it if he's not that guy, because you got to
know that there are people out there that don't feel
comfortable in these interview situations. We talk about Marshawn Lynch
who didn't want to he was at the super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
He didn't feel comfortable in front of it. Not everyone
is built for the camera. Not everyone has that type
of personality. But what does he expect Troy Aikman to do?
Not do his job? He wants there when to kiss
his ass? Right, Troy Aikman's doing his job? So what
now he doesn't have to call.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
He doesn't have to be Troy doesn't have to call
him out because he doesn't want to do an interview
with Troy.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
But don't we have a rule like he can't be
a sports baby, right, He's a football player. He can't
take a little criticism. So just because Troyikman criticized his game,
he's gonna say, no, now, I'm not going to talk
to Monday Night Football into the broadcast. Do we know?
Is that? Is that why he decided not to talk Jo?
This is according to Joe Buck. Okay, you'll believe Joe
Buck all of a sudden, and again, what's he making? Look?

(13:25):
Kayleb Williams, number one draft pick Chicago Bears, signed a
four year, fully guaranteed contract with thirty nine point five
million with a twenty five point five million signing bonus
averaging nine point nine million annually. He can't take a
few minutes to talk to Troyigman. Suck it up a
little bit. Let me tell you again, for the fan
or the leadership, for the look of it, I'm a

(13:45):
big fan of Kayleb Williams. Same I guess said. I mean,
I wouldn't say the best thing to happened to Chicago
since Michael Jordan. If I didn't think that, I agree, agree.
I just think you got to talk to the media.
You have to present yourself in these ways. If I
was a general manager, which you know. I can imagine
someone one day calling me be like, Rich, you're the
right guy. If I were a general manager, like a
general store manager, general store manager, I'll take it. I

(14:12):
would think part of it. Part of it would be like, hey, listen,
do you know how you see a coach and a
GM will be like, all run me through these schemes,
and they haven't, you know, the dry race fort I'd
be like, all right, we just want a game in overtime.
I'm Susie Colber, I'm I'm hand a storm or someone
I'd grab a fake. Mike could be like, hey, go ahead,
you're on okay, But I don't want to see how

(14:33):
you react. I want to see how why.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
That is why you are not being asked to be
a general manager of a football team, Mike.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
When do you think something like that that matters? It? Does?
It matters? In a tiny, itty bitty, itty bitty little bit.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
That's something that you can easily overlook if you've got
a guy who knows how to sling the football and.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Lead a team. Mike, you know what I used to
do when I was a single guy. A lot of
things I'm not sure I want you want to hear
about this. That's a single guy. I used to take
women to a comedy club and part of my test
was when the comedian would tell really dirty jokes. I
would look at her reaction because I'd be like, if
she's if she's like ewing when the guy is saying

(15:11):
raunchy stuff, surely not for me. If I'm a GM
and a coach and I'm trying to find the face
of my franchise, quarterback face, someone to lead this team,
I want to know how they react in a good
or bad situation when a mic is thrown in their face.
Is it the most important thing? The most important thing.
I'm not taking part of the gig. I'm not taking
guy Smiley, who has a QBR rating of zero. I'm saying,

(15:34):
but I think Caleb Williamson is in a position to
be the face of a city for the next decade.
I'm just saying, fine tune these things, Caleb, fine tune them.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
What if he doesn't want to be the face of
a team for the next decade and he just wants
to win football games?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
How about that? Why can't that be enough? You know
about because every time we talk about stuff like this, i'llah,
justin Herbert a few weeks ago or last week, we
always get the same pushback from listen is that you're
giving us right now. So I'm glad you're speaking your
side here.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
Not everybody is comfortable in front of a microphone, Like,
but you guys.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Are you guys?

Speaker 8 (16:08):
Love it?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
One last point I want to make because I do
hear what Mike is saying, right, but I want to
go to the phones too. At eighty seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, Rich you said, Kayleb Williams is twenty
It's actually twenty four, right, But these younger dudes came
up so comfortable in front of the camera. You kidding me?
They're doing little dance moves. They grew up with this,
Kayleb Williams grew up probably doing was that the floss

(16:30):
on TikTok? You can't music?

Speaker 9 (16:31):
Can't you score a touchdown? Yeah it's today, Harlem sh Yeah,
you kids today are way way primed and ready for this.
You can't gritty into the end zone and then.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Be like, oh well I can't talk. I'm dead serious.
So like I I'm not buying that because they're more
comfortable than ever before in front of the camera.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
A couple of things to point out about this story.
It's completely it's the well some of it. The PR
director is who Caleb Williams is blaming Chicago's PR director
because these were both Zoom meetings where the guy sat
there and Caleb didn't show up. But it was Williams
who made this public, not Aikman. All Right, So this

(17:11):
SI article says since it was Williams who made this
public and put the blame on Aikman for the two
not having their pregame production meeting, Buck was left miffed.
That's the part that bothered me the most, said Buck.
It was like, whoaha, whoa, this was on your guys'
schedule and we sat there and we had it happened
twice in the first six weeks.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
You know what, I think it would be a cool move.
Remember how we just saw recently Jaden Daniels missed a
high five with the owner right of the Texans and
they made a viral video out of it. Yeah, and
it was like, oh wow, it really humanized the owner
and made you be like, man, Jaden Daniels, Did I
say Jadan Daniels, C J streutd my bid C j

(17:49):
Stroud made him look way cooler, humanized him. The owner
of the Texans you know took you know, took the
ribbing of oh I got this with the high five.
If Troy Aikman and Cable Williams, in a world of
social media video just do a trending video, or if
they made a funny video together, we'd all be like Yo,
Aikman's funnier than we thought it would be. Like Caleb,

(18:11):
they could turn and turn this into something cool that
would be live in a world now where you're one
social media funny video away from changing the narrative on
something I really I do agree with Rich which is
which is rare, Like you can't be a one dimensional
quarterback in today's world, the one dimensional anything, you know,
even in radio, we have to do stuff for social
media that wasn't part of the gig originally. So I

(18:32):
know there's the argument of yeah, man, I'm just here
to play football. I never signed up for anything else.
I'm a good football player. Hey, I never signed up
to be on the camera. I never signed up to
do extra social media content. Afterward, that just became the
progression of what we do. I came here to rock
the mic on the daily. And you know, I think
this is something that a lot of young players in

(18:55):
professional sports in today's world, in today's landscape of promotion,
have to get used to.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
It's just part of the game. Part of its fine.
When you guys get to be GMS of your football team,
you can make sure that your players are well versed
in the media and don't worry about how well they
play there. Born that way, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
If you run a pizzeria, you have to have a
social media presence, right you have to find someone that
works there that's going to promote your product. Can I
tell you something disappointing? That's Caleb Williams's job is to
promote the bears product. Yes, to make them likable as
the face of a franchise. Yeah, I think so. As
part of it, I think it's his job to win
football games. Period. It's just like a period. Our job

(19:37):
is to host an entertaining show. That's the that's our
primary job. But there's other things involved. No, that's not true.
It's your your you're it's it's not the same. It's
apples to oranges. Because you guys, if you want to
keep your jobs, you have to keep the advertisers happy.
You have to keep the people interested. That's why you

(19:57):
have to do all of these extra media things that
you didn't s sign up for in the beginning. But
you're okay, you're gonna pivot, You're gonna do it. That's
not what Caleb Williams is doing. Caleb Williams signed up
to play football.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
You didn't signed up to to be the face of
the Bears or to you know, be the ones who's
who's in charge of making sure that everybody's happy with
with him on a camera.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
I know you're the number one overall pick, though, that's
a pretty big deal. There's a lot of there's a
lot of.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
We got a great power.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
I also support Mike's point though, like Bill Belichick is
living proof that you can be hard with the media,
you can be kind of introverted, and you can still
be championship level and win super Bowls. But Caleb Williams,
I agree, he has to. Like he doesn't strike me
as an introverted guy.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Him an extra comedy up there. You know, no one's
expecting him.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Be danger field, but he is the number one overall
pick two years ago, and he's a Heisman Trophy winner
and the generational type.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Of he does have to have some media gravitas. And
I think a young person, there's no excuse for a
young person to not feel comfortable. Can playing football? Can
I give you the latest analogy?

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Ever?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
This isn't nineteen sixty anymore. I mean I'm great. I'm
great at lemon alogy. So give me ten seconds. I
got the mall with my wife and this is the
true story. Because we're on camera now talking about pivots,
right mm hm, we have to actually truth be told.
Put a little powder on our head so we're not
shiny for the camera. True story. So I had to
go ball with my wife and be like, Babe, help me.
I need, like, uh, some type of powder or something

(21:22):
for my head, right, so I'm not shining. I don't
be shining. I go to Sephora. There's the sassiest, most
charismatic gay dude that helps me out. And I'm like,
this guy's charisma plus this I had the greatest experience,
and I'm like, my guy what was his name? Domo
was his name? Scandals? Scandal? This guy was the most helpful,

(21:44):
sassy like guy should be on like a reality show.
This guy was over the top sass like sparkles are
coming some shooting out of us. Sounds like a wonderful
experience here. So and I go, this is thank you
so much for helping me. I'm gonna go on Fox
Sports Radio and now I won't have a shiny head
because he have thank you. I go, what's your social media?
He goes, yeah, I don't really do that. And I go, yeah,

(22:06):
in today's world, I was like, you're young. You must
have bodies hidden something. You're a young dude that clearly
knows his makeup game. If you don't have a social
media footprint and you're not giving that extra layer in
today's world, especially as a young person, that's odd. My
wife said, for him to deny camera time, that's odd
for a young leader of a franchise. Well, you know

(22:26):
your thoughts and feedback. When we get the computer up,
we'll read the feedback. And by the way, I want
to wish you happy birthday. I'm like, oh, thank you.
Oh wait, I'm sorry, No, it's stone cold sixty first birthday,
not stone old world. You're stone old Mike man. I'm
just taking it. Hey, Mike, I'm glad you came in today.

(22:47):
I'm glad you spoke that side, because every time we
bring it up, I get it. Even if you're a
Bears fan, all you expect and all you want is
for him to deliver on the field. That is the
most important. I agree with you there, but there is
an extra layer. It's almost everybody's job, and that's to
get in front of the camera, to promote and just
to answer the questions. That's all. Can you tell me

(23:07):
how to get there?

Speaker 10 (23:08):
Sunny Day?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Wait, your kids at that age are already past Sesame Street.
They're just watching more interesting things YouTube videos. Oh they
go through phases, man, Yeah, kids, be honest.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Blue he's almost in the rear view. Yeah, a big
move quick. So anyway, live you me at dad life, you know,
tell me about that. And I didn't believe. He goes. Dude,
your kids will be on that and then six months
later they're too old for like I bet you Danny
G's beautiful son. Co is like starting Blueing now right. Oh,
he's moved on to to the pranos. Coe is watching
the Beast in Me today. We're in Netflix, all right,
So thank you guys for watching us. Coo and Rich FSR,

(23:40):
Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube getting all your feedback
now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. In sixteen minutes,
we throw it back old school and fifty hits. Let's
just say we celebrate a movie icon's birthday, so stick
around for that. But Rich, I had an epfany. I
was just in the bathroom and I had an epfany.
I'll tell you I have my best thoughts in the bathroom.
I'm thinking about doing a podcast from the bathroom here

(24:02):
because you know, everything Mike said was valid. Good point,
Caleb Williams, his only responsibility is to call it upper decker. Yeah,
his sole responsible is to win and play great football.
I get it. But there's more layers to the job.
Everyone's job in today's world. Now, we bring it up
because he's snubbed Monday Night Football's interview pre show meeting twice.

(24:26):
This is according to Joe Buck And I know they
had a little beef with Achman. Criticize him and them
all that, but think about what happens when he doesn't
do the interview. As the leader of the team, he
leaves that pressure onto other players. That's not a good look.
That's not good Imagine if Anthony Volpi and I'm using
a Yankee who got a lot of criticism this year,

(24:47):
the Volpedo. Imagine if he was like, you know what,
I don't feel like doing interviews today. Granted, look, if
you do have a bad day, maybe you don't here
and there. But imagine all the times that he was interviewed.
If he didn't do it, He's putting that pressure on
other players, own teammates to be answering questions on his behalf.
I get that. Cool, if you're the quarterback of the team,
you gotta you gotta protect your teammates. Not everyone is

(25:08):
comfortable in front of a microphone. I get that, But
you know what else, Not everyone's one of the thirty
two men that are lucky enough to be a starting
quarterback in the National Football League. All right, let's go
to the phone. Calls Feedback, we love it. Most interactive
show on Fox Sports Radio. Danny Gradio, Danny G's on
the phones, Danny want to hit us. I can't listen
to a thing. I said. That's something about a podcast

(25:29):
in the toilet. There you go, see, but I'm glad
hopefully somebody did. Let's go to the phones. Let's start
with Q. He said, don't forget my old tea? Did
your gold team? Be sure to drink? Who we got Arizona?

Speaker 5 (25:41):
What? Q?

Speaker 6 (25:42):
He you Fellers, I usually be listening to Rob Parker.
It's my guy Washington.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
We love them, man, My couple is great.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
Yeah, the time went up, so unfortunately for me. But
I don't really care out Caleb Williams. If he's you know,
if he don't want to do interviews that didn't catch
my attention, we'll called my attention as you sitting up
here putting Michael Jordan's Caleb Williams in the same Michael

(26:19):
Jordan's hold.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
On that best since hold on? Now, if you're a
fan of Rob Parker, that's not preposterous then, right, because
that guy's got the hottest takes of all. No, I
don't think they're in the same category. What I said, though,
was if he plays his cards right, he could be
the best thing since Michael Jordan. Because tell me a
Chicago athlete since Michael Jordan that has taken the city
by storm and won a championship and really broke glory.

(26:42):
You said the Blackhawks, Sam, But knowing those hockey players
by name, let's be real here. So Caleb Williams could
be that guy. Yeah, Derek Rose had a little bit
of Devin Hester maybe, like you said, like a like
a Anthony and Frank Thomas. But they've won nothing. I
love it. He was a big star. It's a Hall
of fame. But come on, yeah, he needs to win.

(27:04):
We agree and we help you like our show. Who
do we got next? Well he did say bum, He's
like said, is unfortunate. Unfortunate, sorry, unfortunate. He has to
listen to us. Let's go to Vegas. Larry, what Vegas?

Speaker 11 (27:18):
Larry?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Hey, hey, man, what's up?

Speaker 6 (27:20):
Man?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Sut this out? First of all, who let that guy
Mike in? Tell him to go home and never come back.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't want to storm in here again, yelled everybody.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, hey, listen here, man, you know when you sign
up for that. I bet you when they interviewed him
at his time, when he was at the draft, I
bet you he went in and said all the right
things and he'll give an interview.

Speaker 6 (27:42):
God's knew.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Super bowls? How would you feel the one I have
to go talk to the media after getting blasted in
the Super Bowl. But those guys man up and they
go do it. Those networks pay the bills. So anyone
that's sitting in there talking about he shouldn't talk to
the media. You guys are grade afool. Whoever believes that?

Speaker 8 (28:00):
Great?

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, you and I are on the same page, which
means we're both right, all right? Who else you got?
Danny J. Gill in Virginia?

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Gil? What's up?

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Gil?

Speaker 7 (28:09):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Fellas?

Speaker 7 (28:10):
So I'm in complete disagreement with the last holler and
probably all y'all. So here's the thing. Toy Man, when
he was a second year quarterback, didn't care about doing
pregame interviews. All he wanted to do was go out
and win football games. That was his primary job. Because
if he knew he knew he didn't do that, he
wouldn't be a quarterback in the NFL. Caleb has the

(28:32):
same opportunity. Get your football right first, then do your interviews.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I don't think I don't think you have to pick
one of the other. I think you could be a
great football player and also just be polite, take interviews
and do the right thing, don't. I don't think they're
up and you don't have to like the interphrase mutually exclusive.
I don't think, you know, I think. I don't think
it's choose to be a good quarterback or do a
good interview. I think, And keep in mind, no one
here dislikes Caleb Williams. This just happens to be the

(28:58):
story and we here too too much of this. He's
just our example jump off today.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Also, I want to point out these are behind the
scenes meetings with the broadcast crew. This isn't like an
interview that's going to run on a big platform.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, they might take a snippet here and there, or
they learn about the players. They're a little sit down.
So I saw the broadcasters get some insight of what
to expect that upcoming game. I mean that's for all sports,
the fight team especially. You'll hear like Kevin Burkharter someone
say like, oh, this week we talked to exactly okay,
what Williams and he said blank, Like that's part of
the part of the gig, right. It's like I said,

(29:32):
my analogy would be if we said, oh, yeah, we'll
do whatever you need, boss, and then we're like, well,
we don't want to do commercial reads like that's part
of the job. Like it's it's part of it.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Who do we got and that sponsor related Rich. I
think the more appropriate analogy would be if you didn't
want to do liners for the affiliates that you're on,
you know what I mean, what kind of part of it?

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, exactly, and not just.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
A little part of it, a big part of it,
because that's how you guys are blasted out to the world.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
And like I said before, I'll tie it in again
if I refuse to do that, right, Danny g my
responsibility now falls on maybe you right, and she's like,
it was not my job. What are we going to
do it? So if Caleb Williams isn't doing it, it
falls on someone else. That's not cool. It's time for

(30:21):
our tire IRAQ play of the day. Jaron Jackson continues
to light it up for the Grizzly. Light it up.

Speaker 8 (30:27):

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Noise Noise that's courtesy of Grizzlies Radio Network. That's our
tire I rack Play of the Day Thursday and around

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Y.

Back into time'rowing it back for a Thursday. Old School

time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah. So Danny g our super producer, always come up
with great ideas. We have the greatest team here with Sam,
Danny g Spotty Low and Crown Today. Oh so you're
not entertaining any trades at the deadlineer, No trades. No, No,
you're not doing any winter meetings. Futures looking bright for
Fox Sports Radio. We're going to acquire a middle infielder. No, no,

(31:30):
not right now. No, but he sent us a meme
and it says William Bradley Pitt. William Bradley Pitt. He's
an award winning actor producer, with the career spanning over
thirty years. He's won two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes,
two BAFTAs that I'm sure he's real proud of. Pitt
has starred in several successful films, including Glorious Bastards Now

(31:53):
one of my favorites two thousand and nine, World war
Z twenty thirteen, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood twenty nineteen.
Of course, Fight Club. That's his most ripped, his most handsome.
I'd loved him in seven. I thought seven one of
my favorite. And the dude's a stunt put it that way. Yeah,
I like that. You give him a little props. So
I read his bio and everything. But we think of
Brad Pitt and I always think of Shania Twain, What

(32:14):
do you think you are? Brad Pitt? He was the answer.
He was the answer to like yah, somehow he just won't.
I think Robert Redford got old and like he became
the guy for who do you think you are? Brad Pitt?
That guy's handsome like Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt became the
answer for handsome, sending him for handsome for the last
twenty something years in our life. I mean, we were like,

(32:35):
all right, if you like blondes, it was Pam Anderson.
If you like brunettes, it was Carmen Electra. But Brad
Pitt always remained you like dudes, Brad Pitt and you
know now it's like Sidney Sweeney and her Uh well, no,
you know what now it's just an oversaturated world of
who's hot on social media. There's a million good looking people,
but Brad Pitt was the guy.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
A lot of women got a taste or a look
at Brad Pitten for the first time. In Thelma and
Luis was like one of the first movies he was like,
he was featured in I think the look.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I got a Brad Pitt with he was in my
bedroom with my ex wife. Has that story right, he
with him in Robin Giventh's bedroom. I'm gonna punch him
in the faith the story about Mike Tyson walking in
on brad Pitt. Look it up. But anyway, on his
birthday we celebrate his sixty second. He's still damn handsome,
still rip, and it makes us think of the greatest

(33:24):
leading men aka guys that Josh Hart of the Knicks
would love to give the dirty funds too. Well, I
think you know, I think you can ang go that
question also as like who actually gets you to watch
a movie? Gets you to the theater? Like who gets
you to the theater? If you see Oh, Netflix or

(33:44):
Hulu or HBO, Max put out a new show or
a new movie. They're in it. I'm watching, Like, who
is the I'm watching because they're in it. It's a
good question. Brad Pitt's one of those guys for sure. Yeah,
I mean he's handsome. Women love him, Guys think he's cool.
He's celebrating his sixty second Who are we adding to

(34:05):
this list? Well, we'll take your feedback. Next we'll go
old school, and of course Thursday night Football tonight. I
can't wait to talk about that now. As far as
Brad Pitt's birthday, yeah, I'm reading the feedback. Like Elliott
hit us up and he said, I hate Brad Pitt.
Why because he's funny, a great actor, and look at him,
he's Brad Pitt. Yeah, I mean, you know he is hateable,

(34:27):
but somehow we still like him. Scott Mayor said, Troy,
women loved him in that movie, and guys thought he
was cool. By the way, I think a lot of
people slept on the movie, Troy. I think we compared
it to Gladiator and other movies like that. Three hundred
and you thought it wasn't as cool. If you watch
it now, it's better than some of the other trash
that I'm seeing. So I watched it recently. I was like, yeah,

(34:49):
that's pretty good. Not a lot of great feedback. Let's
see Wes is saying that you got to think of seven.
I'd like seven too, That's a good one. And here's
the question to this. There's so many angles to this
Brad Pitt birthday thing. I know, freaky that he's sixty
two years old. I think there's a couple angles. You
were saying, are there leading Are there leading men and

(35:10):
women that even get you to the theater anymore? Is
there someone where like, oh, they're in the movie I'm
going Because I feel like that doesn't exist as much
as it once did. Like it's very hard to be like,
I'm going to the movies. Like when I was a kid,
I feel like if Sandler came out with a new movie. Yes,
when we were like teenagers and in our twenties, there
was a new like, oh wait, what's coming out? The
wedding singer Billy Madison still lone movie stallone would get

(35:32):
you out to the theater. Jim Carrey, Oh, in the nineties, yeah,
could not miss if Jim Carrey came out with a
new trailer for a movie. I was sam. I agree,
Jim Carrey excited me back in the day as a kid, like, well,
there's new Jim Carrey movie. I would be excited that
it's coming out. You're right, who is that now? Is it?
Timothy uh Shallam Hay Shammon leading? He's got a new movie,

(35:55):
Marty Supreme coming in? People like that guys? Well, Tom
Cruise still proves to be that guy. Top Gun proved it.
I'm not changing the question, but I'm gonna give you
a different way to look at it. The answer lies
in name the guy essentially that dudes think is cool
and women want. Because that's gonna be your answer to

(36:15):
who is the leading man that draws you to the
box office. It's rare when it's both yeah, You're like, yo,
he's a cool dude and women are like, oh my god.
That's a lot of guys that we think are cool
that women don't identify with or don't think are hot.
They don't like him. And then there's guys that women
love that we think are lame.

Speaker 11 (36:32):
Man.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Brad Pitt is one of those guys that everybody sort
of is down to watch so I'll give you one.
We pay him props here on the show. Who else
falls into that category that there's a guy that man
bedpress of the last couple of years. But I still
think there's something cool about Ryan Reynolds, and women love
Ryan Reynolds, but his wife he sort of ruins his reputation.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
I was looking at this list of movies and I
saw every single one at the Movie Theater, Training Day,
American Gangster, Oh you're Denzel guy, The Book of Eli,
flight Man on Fire, the Hurricane, Remember the Titans. If
he's in a movie, I automatically think, even now, I
bet that movie's good.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
You know what, He's gonna make it good. It was
My only knock is that he's seventy, right, And you're saying,
even now at seventy, he's still that guy, and that's fair.
That's cool Denzel or as Mama calls him, Denzel Washing,
Denzel Washed, Denzel Washington, best actor ever.

Speaker 7 (37:28):
That's twenty five thousand dollars out pat.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
So darn cool, he's so darn clever. Gotta love Denzel.
I do, absolutely, But you see how far we have
to go sometimes to find these answers, like is there
no one today. I think there is because I saw
the feedback. It's popping at Covino and rich FSR on YouTube.
There's one guy in there that I think is on
his way to be that guy. To me, he looks
like kato'kalin, but he's pretty cool. Glenn Powell Man, you know,

(37:53):
could be that guy. That's good name, right, because I
do like him on Chad Powers. He's he's funny, he's handsome,
he's ripped, he's a good looking dude. There's no question
your wife and girlfriend are gonna be like, yeah, he's
kind of hot. And you think we still, yeah, we
still don't hate him. Honestly, I think he's great in
Chad Powers. And I saw that movie with him and
Sydney Sweeney anyone but you it was it was pretty good.

(38:16):
I mean I think he look, he doesn't have that
that IMDb of a Brad Pitt quite yet, but I
think he's on his way there. Can I tell you
someone hit us up? Colin, hit us up? And this
is an answer that you'd be like, oh, you know what,
I don't know if women love as much as guys
just think he's cool. You're putting Paul Rudd on this list. No, No,

(38:40):
I like him. If there's some I feel like Paul.
He's a nice if we're doing a swell fella the
master of Buddy films.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, I went to see Friendship with Tim Robinson and
Paul Rudd in theaters by myself and I loved it.
I was laughing like a hyena.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
I like Paul Rudd, but he's not like you're running
out to see him Paul, right. I mean, I'm not
trying to be mean.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I think he was just a little more popular like
in the early two thousands, mid two thousands.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Still, that's like when Steve Carell was like way popular too. Say,
you know what, though, I think we live in a
world now. Kevina loves to point out back in the day,
tho was they called the monoculture, right, Like we all
watch the same movies. There were limited shows we all watched.
We have the same references, memories, quotes, memories, quotes, references.
All that was the same because we lived in the
mono culture. We didn't have as many options. Now, with

(39:24):
everyone's algorithm being different, a million streaming services, everyone you
know is watching a different show. It's it's wild when
me and Danny and Kevin are all watching the same show, Like, Danny,
are you watching the Beast? In me just started Yeah.
I was gonna say, like it's good. But the fact
that there's when there's a show that all of us
are watching, in my mind, I'm like, man, it must

(39:45):
be a big show. That's why we get all excited too,
because it's it's part. It's like we're living in that
monoculture for a second. Yeah, yeah, it's like, oh yeah,
I think because there's so many options, even legit actors
and actresses that I used to automatically watch. I'm sort
of like, eh, I'm a big Stallone guy, but I
haven't watched Tulsa King, and I know you haven't either.

(40:05):
I have. I watched the first season. If you really
love Stallone the way I know we do, yeah, I
mean I think of that with Will Ferrell. I love
Will Ferrell, but there's like movies like Arts of your
Comedies he comes out with where I'm like, I don't know,
I would say that I love Will Farrell. I'll watch
like ninety percent of his stuff.

Speaker 11 (40:22):
The Rock.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Is an answer. What about Kevin Hart? I feel like
if I see some dumb comedy with like Kevin Hart.
Think your wife like likes Kevin Hart? That's sure. Yeah,
you know, you're right the other layer of.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
It, because I'm getting kind of worn out by Kevin
Hart's constant, constant appearances, like on commercials, Like he's a
little oversaturated in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah, and by the way, we're not hating, just stating like.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
He's a funny guy, but you just see someone so
much you're like, I just I don't Yeah, I'm done
with that.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
And you see the difference, right, Like Rich and I.
We like Sebastian Maniscalco, but does your wife or girlfriend
really like him that much? No, who's the guy that
everybody sort of loves? Brad Pitt is definitely that guy
Scotty hit into and Scotty goes, you know, how is
no one? I'm talking about guys that men think are
cool and women like. I don't know, do women still

(41:14):
like Leonardo DiCaprio or do they think he's he because
of his yeah, dating habits. I think he's rubbing a
lot of women. Treats women like he treats women like
a carton of milk. Yeah, he moved into the creepy category.

Speaker 12 (41:27):
He's like Jack Nicholson, right, I think they liked him
for twenty five years and then at twenty five years
they kicked him to.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
The well done. It's good. It seems that way though. Yeah,
it seems like you know, I still he was that chactor.
I still think he's really really good. Oh he is,
Pedro Pascal comes up.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Hey, that's a good one, as well as Chris Hemsworth
and Tom Holland.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Oh, I got another one. You know, I gotta Pascal
is good because we the HBO show Last of Us
and when he does a movie or an appearance, I
think we're all like, yeah, he's a cool dude, and
women find his like grittiness, like good looking. I suppose, right,
Mandalorian I got to see his face really for most
of the Amanda, you ready for this one? Get this.
We've interviewed him a few times. He's a stud name dropping. No,

(42:11):
that's true, because we actually could verify that he's a
cool guy, Like he's grossly cool, Jason Momoa. He's on
that list because guys think he's cool. He's a cool dude,
and women love that guy. And you see, I didn't squeman,
I didn't see I think you got to see all
their movies. What most people would say he's popular for
did you watch the Chef? Watched Sean Apple TV? Where

(42:32):
he's like a warrior that's blind or something. But I
do like him as an actor. I think he's a
cool guy. If he was in a movie that sort
of interested me, i'd go watch you know what I'm
talking about where he's like a warrior that's blonde. Did
I just make that up? Did I dream that was
I high? I don't think so. I know he was
at the rocky warrior in Game of Throne. No, but
there's a there's a show that my wife was like,
that looks good and like you just think Momoa is cute.
I think he's called Chief of War and way yeah, no, no,

(42:57):
c c S. Yess. It doesn't mean that other guys
don't feel that way. I would say that most guys
would think he's a cool dude. He's like a roight,
he's a rock star. He makes cool movies. Women think
he's hot. I don't think guys think he's lame in
any way. He's a cool guy. I think I got one. Look,

(43:19):
this is rare company man. We're talking Brad Pitt by
the way, it's his birthday. That's why we bring him up.
Who's who's leading mad material that women love and dudes
think is cool? All school Win fifty. I think he
was super popular, dipped away, and then there's like a
re emergence of everyone just thinking he's the greatest guy
in the world, and I can't I can't go against
it because I think he is great, sweet sweet Keanu Reeves,

(43:41):
Oh man, Yeah, no, that's still on top of his game. Yeah,
I hear cauld You hear stories about what a great
guy he is.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
He buys the crew, Rolex watches stunning, and he buys
the whole cool to.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Still do a Bill and Ted movie. He doesn't need that.
He doesn't. He's kind to everybody. You wife will be like, yeah,
he's like handsome and so sweet, and you're like, yeah,
he won't even he won't even put his hands around
a girl's waist in a photo, you know that trick.
He won't do that. He's like, why would I do that?
He's seen one too many actors taking the chance.

Speaker 12 (44:13):
That's a really good impression.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
By the way, thank you. Isaac looked up like he
thought Cannon was in the room, Isaac, have you ever

explain this movie knock Knock, because I know Adel's Adele

Knock Knock. Kenu Reeves is a dad and a husband

(45:24):
and his family goes away and it's raining outside. Knock Knock.
He gets a knock on the door. Who is it?
And it sees too hot, like co.

Speaker 13 (45:34):
Eds, We're too hot co eds and it's raining outside.
Que dry off and he lets you come inside and
take a shower in your house. And he lets them
come in the house. And then they like, queet a shower,

seduce him, and it's like.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
He's like, no, no, no, I got cans, but I won't.
It is you know, it's a good move. It's a thriller.
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what not to say,
which is what I say to my wife. How could
you blame them? Yeah, that's tough. It's tough. I mean,
who doesn't fall for this? But it label as a
horror crime film. Yeah, it's a great thriller. Yeah, it's

(46:09):
so cheesy, but it's so fun. Yeah, it's not knock
knock knock with Keanu. I like that answer a lot
rich because I don't think any dude will be Yeah,
John Wick is corny.

Speaker 12 (46:19):
By the way, the movie lost four million dollars. That's
kind of surprising. Only a ten million dollar budget and
only made six million.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
That's surprising, you know, maybe I think a lot of
guys are scared to watch it. Yeah, yeah, guys. And
there it's just guys that watch it because women hate
this movie. Yea, let's say how do you? Let's say
how do you, guys, and we'll move along. We'll talk
some Thursday night football trip our dude in Vegas? What's up? Man?

Speaker 14 (46:41):
Hey, goodfin gentlemen. I'm gonna say what what's it? Brad's
first candiot was that in Trudeau Mance when he played
the guy that yeah he's in and then and then
the two two guys I had the older guys, but
of course Paul Newman and then for a while they're everything.
Harrison Ford, Mate, you wanted to go see hell?

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, it's funny, Paul. Those are older answers, right, but
they're in that company in this conversation for sure.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Redford, Paul Newman. Yeah, those are Yeah, those are a
class as cool as hell.

Speaker 5 (47:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
I saw Marlon brand though, right In some film class
in college, I had to watch street Card named Desire,
and I couldn't believe I'm like, that's the fat guy
and the Godfather. Yeah, it threw me off. I couldn't
believe it. But Paul Newman was one of those guys
like your grandmother definitely loved Paul Newman. All right, how

(47:31):
about Idris Elba answer guy cool? I feel like we
do watch a lot of stuff with it. Just albout
uh Bruno and Brooklyn. What's up man?

Speaker 11 (47:42):
Hey, guys, good evening. Hey, listen real quickly. Here's the
deal with what the guys need versus the women. Hey,
the guy's gotta be handsome, okay, but the benchmark for
the dudes you like it is the cat's got to
be able to play sort of a hard dude. In
other words, he can play some kind of a you know,
like a tough guy film, but then he can also

(48:03):
play the you know, the love interest in another movie,
a guy like Bradley Cooper, Jake willent Thal. Those guys,
you know, they can take their shirt off. They look
the part if they have to rough it up. But
at the same time, the intellectual guys can get with him,
and the women basically just there handsome dudes. So that's
the basic And it does does.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
To feel like like you would like this guy. Yeah,
those are two good ones. And you know, uh you
just said Jill and Hall. Guy gets ripped for these
and he's in like fight movies UFC movies like Jillen
Hall is a great answer and Bradley Cooper is a
great answer. Do you see what he did to his
face recently? He's getting not to sound like our parents
who cut everyone up? Do your parents cut everyone up?

Speaker 13 (48:40):
To?

Speaker 5 (48:41):
Like?

Speaker 1 (48:41):
What old? What happened on that? But apparently it looks
like you got some Simon Cowell type of work done.
I was like, what Internet's cruel? They're comparing him to
Barry Menilo. He does look like the memes really are
When did Bradley Cooper turn into? Because I'd love him
as a guest one day, but I love saying eagle. Yeah,

(49:03):
what we're saying is the Internet's been cruel lately. Not right? Well,
so happy birthday to Brad Pitt. He really is one
of a kind. The guy married Angelina Joe Lee in
her prime? Like, how gross is that? Will Smith? Until
like five years ago, I would say I'm not a
big fan, but I would say he belongs in this category. Yeah,

(49:23):
befull banger after banger. I'm h what are you talking
about his wife's activities? What are you saying? I'm talking
about cinema. Oh so I was going to say until
the interview where you're like, oh, I would be careful
once you get smacked in the face. Yeah, Sam's gonna
get back too. I think Will Smith was in that
category before you found that a little bit of his

(49:43):
personal life. I like Will Smith. I know you don't.
I'll tell you what though. It's rare company when you
think about it, because there are guys you like. You
mentioned Adam Sandler. Yeah, you love Adam Sandler, but your
wife doesn't necessarily love him. She likes watching them, but
she doesn't like find him hot. Yeah, not like that.
So that's why it's a really special category. And that's
why we say we salute you, Brad Pitt, because I

(50:05):
think he ends it. I think it was Robert Redford.
He was the answer right then it became Brad Pitt
for like he's had a thirty something a year run now.
And now we live in a world where there really
isn't an answer because we're oversaturated with like beautiful people
on social media like celebrity, Like celebrity doesn't really matter.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
We didn't mention like Clark Gable and like the class
like Golden Age because our demo is not ninety what's
your Spotify listening age?

Speaker 1 (50:30):
You know? Frankly, I always say I don't think anyone gives
it damn very good. Yeah, well, you know, let's say
two more quick ones and well start with Tom and Maryland.
What's up Tom?

Speaker 11 (50:41):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (50:41):
How's it going?

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (50:42):
What's upbody?

Speaker 14 (50:45):
Not a whole lot?

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (50:45):
I want to weigh in on this Brad Pitt conversation.

Speaker 11 (50:48):
Yep, how do we miss his main name?

Speaker 8 (50:51):
Clooney?

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Oh, Clooney's the man. Clooney's cool.

Speaker 11 (50:55):
You know.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
He said he's not gonna kiss women anymore in movies.
Did you see that headline the other day? Well, he's
got a new movie a Sandler. Oh yeah, he's only
gonna kiss men. He's only gonna kiss dudes now, he
said him and his wife made the decision that there's
no real need for him to be like in romantic
movies where he's kissing someone else. Like, he doesn't. That's
not part of his world anymore. Sounds like he lost
this battle. Seems like there's something, seems like his wife

(51:19):
has something to say about this. Yeah, there's a script
here where I have a younger love interest. Uh, Sidney Sweeney,
You're not doing that, you know what. You know, we
threw a lot of older names out there. Clooney's definitely
the guy, but he's older. Now, that's the thing. So
it's it's few and far between. You know who we forgot,
Zach Effron. You know we're gonna say Glenn Powell. You
gotta think of some of these younger guys. Chris Pratt

(51:40):
is still a big name, maybe a Miles Teller, right,
I don't know, Like there's certain younger guys out there.
You mentioned Shallom A. He's cool dude. He is a
cool guy, totally rebranded himself throwing out all his sports
knowledge in the past few years. I saw Willie Wonka.
I was sold. I don't even like that. Can I
tell you a Chris Pratt store Chris Pratt? Yeah, Like,

(52:01):
you know, there's a lot of young guys that we
gotta acknowledge, even though you know the Clooney still matter.
Let me tell you Chris Pratt story twenty second story.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Chris Pratt's forty six. He's no young, hy young guy.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
So yeah, we're around the same age. And we had
Chris Pratt on the show. This is when he was
married to Anna Faris and he wasn't remember she was
like the star of that marriage. He was like, still,
you know, he was doing what like community in some
of the sharksan Reckets, Parks of the Record, he's the
chubby guy in Parks and Ree But he wasn't like chubby.
But he wasn't. Uh, he wasn't the ripped leading man
he is now he's a little chunky. And him and I

(52:33):
were talking about football because he's a big Seahawks fan.
I'm a Niners fan. So it was smack talking and
him and I off the air, were just having some
good football talk, and I go, dude, you're Chris Pratt,
your stars on the rise? What about you? You know
how in Seattle they raised the flag, the twelfth Man flag,
and they picked someone to do it every week. I go, dude,
how come you've never done that? He goes, I never

(52:54):
thought to do it. I never thought, uh, they'd want
me to. And I in my mind I put that
thought his head. About a year so later, when he
became a superstar, superstar, I see him on like some
Monday night football raising the flag and I'm like, I
wonder if he ever thought did I put that in
his head. You know what else Rich put in his head?
Rich said, can here. By the way, man, you're a
good looking guy. If you get shred, luth and weight,

(53:15):
maybe you could did Jenna Ferris for throwing hotter Rich. Yeah,
and uh when they got divorced, Rich wanted actually introduce
him to Arnold's so leading man, we salute you today. Right,
It's okay man. I think I hope everyone's secure with
this conversation, right, I think we're at a good place
where we could acknowledge it and guy's cool, right, I mean,

(53:38):
if not, do you want that type of person listening
to you? There is there a Is there a guy
in sports though that you think could be that guy?
For younger people? I bet you. I bet you we're
out of them, so damn we're at a demo. But
I bet you if he starts winning. Even though Colin
Cowherd thinks they Giant should trade him and go get Mendoza,

(54:01):
I'm like, really, yeah, but Tom Brady would have been
that guy, right, Oh, Tom Brady, Tom Brady leading man.
But I'm saying every guy knows he's the goat, and
every woman's like he's and he's handsome, I'm saying moving forward,
even though Cowherd thinks the Giant should trade him. I
think if there's any success there, I think there's a
lot of women in New York and they'd be like
Jackson Dark and Redd though a redhead band on Jackson Dart.

(54:23):
He'd be really like Rambo out there and dude's like, yeah, yeah,
he's hot. Yeah he could be a leading man. Uh,
let's wrap it up with a women's woman's opinion. Alice
in Pittsburgh wrapped this up and then we got some
other stuff to get to Thursday night football. What's up,
Alice Hi, Jeremy Renner, Jeremy Walker, Jeremy Renner. He's cool.

(54:45):
I think he more cool though, Yeah, I think he
leans more of a guy's guy. I don't know, I
could be wrong.

Speaker 14 (54:51):
I like him.

Speaker 11 (54:52):
I do a lot of women that like him too.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
I mean I did.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
I've seen him in a few movies that I really
and it's the mayor of Kingstown or whatever.

Speaker 14 (54:58):
He's in now here.

Speaker 11 (55:00):
Only get here in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 14 (55:01):
Because I've I've met him a couple of times.

Speaker 11 (55:03):
We've met him actually.

Speaker 14 (55:04):
At a hotel in Rome, and I've seen him here
in Pittsburgh, and I think.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
It works then you would know best from what I hear.
Great guy and near death he hit a stead. He's
coming out because of that of the snowplow. Actually he
almost died being run over, but like a snowplow. So
he's uh, he has a new Lisa on life. So
we don't God bless him.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Hey, by the way, Rich, you said we're gonna get
a woman's perspective and bring on Alice. How do you
know that wasn't Alice Cooper?

Speaker 13 (55:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:30):
I know, how do you know? Rich? He's just making assumptions.
He just assumed what's what's what's a woman's name? Canadians
have it? Like does a like Tracy or something? Yeah,
there's a lot of Tracy's I think in Canada for
some reason, there's renees that are both. I remember one
time we were on the air and I like set
up the phone call thinking it was a girl, was like, Yo,
what's up Tracy? How you do like? And it was like, Hey,

(55:51):
what's up? We've been Yeah, we've been doing Yo, what's up?

Speaker 5 (55:59):
Alice?

Speaker 1 (56:02):
That's Rich Davis where Covino and Riches? Are you excited
about tonight? Because I certainly am. I know, dude, I'm
so excited for this week I'm not. I'm very excited
for this weekend because I know tomorrow we're all going
to hang at my place watch the Jake Paul fight. Yeah,
I know this weekend. NFL Week sixteen is so many
great games. We talked about the Bears Packers. That's just
one of six games we talked about yesterday that are

(56:22):
all of high importance.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
Rich we have college playoff games, and we have Saturday NFL.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
We got not tomorrow when we watching Jake Paul fight,
I was Sam totally reminded me I was going to
drop the ball pun intended. I forgot that Oklahoma and
the Alabamazon. So we have a college playoff and Jake Paul.
So all the fun starts tonight. Because Rams and Seahawks

(56:48):
eleven and three, two eleven and three powerhouse teams. If
the winner of that game isn't the number one seed,
that means something went oddly wrong. Because right now you
could argue the Rams who are a little banged up.
The Rams DeVante Adams status, Isaac Low and cron.

Speaker 12 (57:12):
His status is about to be determined because the actives
and inactives will come out in ten minutes, but officially
he's listed as doubtful.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Yeah we said that, Yes, you said that yesterday, So
thank you. If the Rams win, I think the Rams
are your one seed and I think there's no doubt
on planet Earth about that because the NFC is going
to run through so far. Now, if the Seahawks win tonight,
this is where it gets a little tricky, run DMC style.
If the Seahawks win tonight, there's hope for Bang Bang

(57:41):
Niner gang fans like me, because then the forty nine
ers hold their own destiny, which is wild to think
because if the forty nine ers beat the Colts, which
you could argue they should right Monday night football, Philip Rivers,
I'll surprised if Philip Rivers and the Colts come out
and beat you Forts and they have a tough one thought,
get me wrong, a tough one against the Bears. But

(58:02):
there's a possibility that if the Seahawks beat the Rams
tonight Week eighteen in Seattle, forty nine ers Seahawks would
be for the one seed and a bye in the nfseeed.
The forty nine ers, after all the injuries and bang
ups and Bosa and Fred Warner, and you know Kittle
played half the year. Party was out and Mac Jones

(58:23):
was in. Kyle Shanahan should get like, not coach of
the Year, like coach of the century. They're already talking
about it. Yeah, if if he could get a one
seed out of a depleted team like that, So the
Niners hold their own destiny if the Seahawks win tonight.
With that said, do Sam Donold does his carriage turned

(58:43):
into a pumpkin tonight Cinderella style or do we think
that I think they're tough. I think we're gonna see battle.
That's what I think. It's to be a close one.
It's one of those games where I really do think
the winner you could say that that's your one seed.
I really do got some.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
It's in Seattle. I think that helps Donald. Yeah, the
home crowd behind him.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
We were just watching him walk in a little while
ago with his quarter zip on. I was saying that
he's like he dresses like just like like a dad
going a baseball quarter zip looks like he's in the zone.
And that's why I'm saying the other not to tie
too many conversations together. Remember the other day, We talked
about how there's so many different personalities in a clubhouse
or a locker room that when you have true chemistry,
it's so important. You think, Sam Darnold, who has a

(59:30):
quarter zip and a hat and like jeans from old Navy,
I think he's rubbing anybody the wrong way. I'm saying,
do you think do you think he has the same
style and likes and preferences as other guys. That's why
I said, yes, chemistry is important. You know, all the
differences should go away between the lines, and that's usually
how it works. It doesn't matter. Yeah, good chemistry allows

(59:54):
that to happen. So great game to tune into two
eleven and three teams. As Rich said before, he wishes
both teams could lose because his forty nine ers are
ten and four in the NFC West, the close close
NFC West, So a big statement game to see where
everything lines up. I'll be tuning in any money on it,
any action tonight. I don't know how you would even
have an instinct on this. Vegas has it as Seattle

(01:00:18):
as a one and a half point favorite, and now
you know that's being at Seattle's home. That's almost leaning
rams a little bit, even though Vegas still says the
Seahawks are favored usually in a game where teams are
evenly matched. Traditionally, maybe not as much over the last
year or so, but back in the day, it was
always if it's an even matchup, home team by three.
What's the point total? Point total for tonight. That's a

(01:00:40):
good one over under tonight. I'll find that in a second.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Because you guys are talking Darnold, but he has a
true test against this Rams defense. People don't talk about
what mcveagin is coaching staff seemed to do every year,
next man up with their defenders, doesn't matter who goes down.
It seems like they always plug and play play as
a unit. One of the top units in the NFL
on defense points allowed an average of sixteen point three

(01:01:07):
per game this season, number one in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
It's a great point, Danny, G great analysis, Danny, because
even the Colts defense seem to have answers for Seattle
last week. So I think the Rams are definitely gonna
give them trouble. So let me hit you with this.
I won't tell you the over under, Danny, pick the
score and then that'll decide what you where you're feeling,
give me, give me like a final, even if you
don't even tell me to winn. What's a score that
you're feeling.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
I'm gonna go Rams twenty four, Seahawks twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Yeah, I think it's'n be close. Twenty four to twenty.
That's forty four. Believe it or not. Vegas is on
the same page as you. They even went low with
They said over under forty two. Okay, I could you
hit the over slightly with your guests, but I think
that I don't see a team putting up a thirty
five spot tonight. So advantage Rams defense steps up. They
win twenty four to twenty according to us. According to

(01:01:57):
Danny g well, then you know what, Seattle's five and
too at home? Oh man, that that is going to
be a nice battle for them. All right, let me
give you my bet and we'll go to Isaac. Here's
my bet, my bet if I'm going to if the
Rams are getting one and a half points, teaser bet,
you get six points. Right, So take the Rams as
a not one and a half point underdog, a seven

(01:02:18):
and a half point underdog. That hook seven and a half.
So Rams plus seven and a half and get this,
go up to forty eight and pick the under, because
if we don't think teams are scoring thirty something points,
go under forty eight rams plus seven and a half.
Lock that in. There was a kid Battle Star Galactica

(01:02:40):
with a bag of spaghetti. It looks like he's in
his twenties. Some kid wearing his like ski goggles eating
a bag of spaghetti at the game, and he's gone
viral and he says someone brought a bag of spaghetti
to eat during the Bear's Brown game and everyone's laughing
at it. Yeah, now, are you anti Leftover's kind of guy?

(01:03:00):
I don't think you should be bringing it. Well, I
don't think you should be bring it on a plane.
Get your stinky subway sandwich out of my face. But
what are your rules on this, rich, especially a game?
Don't bring it to the game? Got back up for
a second. He used a permanent marker on the bag
to write the game in the bag. Well, you know what,
let me just say this that we've seen people do

(01:03:21):
things and it's like, are they doing it for the camera?
Hoping to get on? Do you remember there was a
baseball game. I'm pretty sure it was a Mets or
Phillies game where there was someone drinking through a hole
they made in their hot thug or something dipping chicken fingers.
I think in the Soto right they drive, Yeah, someone
was also dipping chicken fingers in their Coca Cola. Well,
people are saying this is diabolical? Is it as bad

(01:03:44):
as the Internet's making it seem? I'm a good leftover guy?
Am I bringing it to the game? Hell no, I
changed my mind. People are more on a budget than
ever before. You could say, why are you making fun
of this guy?

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
He's uh, you know, I think DraftKings as they put
this post out, they're making fun of the labeled bag
because they put having Bears Brown's twelve fourteen on the
bag of spaghetti is diabolical.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
Yeah, that's like this was planned out. I'll tell you this.
There are there are things that are saved it for
a special occasion. There are things that are served at
a ball game that, even though they're served, I don't
know if you should get them. Let me give you
two examples. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I find
it weird when grown men eat popcorn at a game.
I feel like that's for the circus or a movie theater.

(01:04:29):
I don't know why, like I see if I see
like you're a Dodgers game, or I don't know, you
know you're in a you know, a Bear's game in Chicago. Popcorn?
What are you watching avatar?

Speaker 5 (01:04:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
I just if you're getting cotton candy, then you're kind
of just that's that's more of a kiddy.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Like this popcorn, I think it's good. Anytime. You know
what next game we're I'm gonna get popcorn. You can't
have any well, I'm gonna give you one that you
guys have made fun of me for a year since
I did it. So I was at a Broncos game.
We're at Mile High. It was called out and I
ordered tomato soup. They were selling it, and I remember
for years my buddies that we go to ball games with,

(01:05:06):
they're like, you remember the time Rich ordered tomato soup
and it was a stadium at the guy showed up in sweatpants, right,
he looked like this shit came out in his pajama
and then he spilled the soup all over his sweatpants.
So we had to walk around with his idiot with
a big tomato stain all over his grace, sweat, some
stab thigh. It wasn't even that he ordered tomato soup.
Is the fact that he spilled it all over himself
like a little school boy. You know, I think that

(01:05:28):
was part of it. It did feel weird, Danny. I'm
at a game. I know it was called. It was
Vikings Broncos a couple of years ago in Denver. I
remember this, and it was and here I am. It's
like in the third quarter, and I'm like sipping soup,
and I'm like, why am I sipping souper?

Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
Why do I have the feeling You're the only person
in the entire stadium that actually bought it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
You know, I'm gonna bring this one level deeper. I think, Look,
it is funny, right, the guy brings his leftover spaghetti
labeled for this day for the game, and it is funny,
like diabolical, as the meme goes. And I see the
video footage. We were showing it at Covino and Rich FSR.
But in today's world where everybody's so in debt, right,
think about it, everybody's living check to check, everyone's in debt,

(01:06:05):
and everyone's complaining about it isn't it economic? Isn't he
doing technically the right thing? Economical doing the right thing? Mom,
spaghetti to the game. It's two hundred dollars to park
at a lot of stadium. Think get how yeah, think
of how expensive dude food is at stadium. I took
my daughter to jingle ball at the into It where
the Clippers play, and thank you, iHeart for the free tickets.

(01:06:27):
I appreciate that. But could I tell you parking with
seventy dollars? Yeah, I was like, seventy seventy dollars. That's
from Sebastian, seventy dollars. All right, listen, we'll see you guys.
