Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have to ad better stop from the beginning to.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Duke Jonas Knocks, you thought you knew me, You didn't
know anything about me. He's crazier than a else.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks, you heard me, No brien,
some darkness is lighting up your speakers to establish an
alibi for the day. Live from the Tirack dot Com
Fox Sports Radio Studios, here's Jonas Knox. Yep, Okay, I'll

(00:31):
be part of this world.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's in uh moments like this where you find out
who your friends are. We'll get into that here, coming
up with just a couple of moments from now, Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to this show on
the iHeartRadio app. You can listen to this show on
hundreds and hundreds of affiliates all across the country. If

(00:59):
you're listening to this show on the podcast, we appreciate
you doing so. It is a two hour extravaganza here
on a Saturday, and we've got to start out with
what's a little bit of disappointing news, but also I
would say a little bit of puzzling news as well too.

(01:20):
If you're familiar with this program, you know that we've
got traditions we like to uphold. We've been doing this
a long ass time, long time. You know, if you
go back to the weekends on weekend overnights, you know,
we had stuff like pro Wrestler or porn Star where
we'd have a couple of drunk callers for the most part,
try and tell me, you know, I'd give them a name.

(01:41):
They'd say whether or not it was a pro wrestler
or a porn star. It was great, man, and the
best part is everybody could be a part of it.
We had cops call while on duty. We had a
couple of Mormons calling at one point. I mean it
was fantastic. And that lasted for years and years and years.
It was stolen by other shows, like just like blatant

(02:03):
theft by other shows, and you know who you are.
You know, We've had all sort of guests that garbage like,
We've just done stuff and have had traditions on this
show for a long long time. And one of the
traditions that we have on this show and that we've
had for years and years is whenever there's a giant

(02:23):
horse race, a giant horse race that comes up throughout
the course, of the year and we're talking about the
giant ones like the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness or
the Belmont. We usually go to our guy, Andy Furman,
Fox sports radio host, dear friend of mine. At least
I thought, you know, like one of the all time

(02:47):
greats in the history of sports talk radio. And today's
the Preakness, and I reach out to Andy Furman, and
you think, well, why would you reach out to Furman?
Is he is he an expert? Well, he's as close
as we can get, because let's be honest, who really
is an expert When you got a garden gnome riding
on the back of an animal that's so dumb he's

(03:09):
willing to do it and get whipped at the same time,
all for a couple of flowers around his neck. Okay,
so this guy's always on top, Yeah he is. But
the problem is we go to Andy because Andy ran
horse tracks, literally, he ran horse tracks for years and
years and years. Good buddies with Pete Rose. Listen. I've

(03:31):
told him, he's the reason Pete Rose is not in
the Hall of Fame. I've told him because I think he,
you know, he enabled the problem because Pete Rose would
show up and you know you'd like to throw down
a couple of bucks and on some ponies. But the
point is the only thing that I exploded on the
point is I reach out to Andy Furman yesterday. Hey babe,

(03:53):
preaking this coming up? What time you want to do this?
Don't hear anything back.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
I'm gonna smack you from here to tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Okay, let it go for a little while, figure you
know what. I'll check in later on. Finally, like you're
waiting for that gal to get back to you, finally
phone lights up, literally reads Andy fur Bag. I don't
have him in my phone as Furman. I don't have

(04:22):
him as Andrew. I call him fur Bag because we're friends, right,
he says to me. Can't do it? Got a birthday party? Sweet?
So I was rejected by a quote unquote friend so

(04:46):
that they could go to a birthday party. Because God
forbid you take two steps to the left while people
are eating chips and dip or hitting a pinata for
you to get on a phone and call in and
give a pick on a horse race. God for being

(05:08):
what a clown. It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for the state
of affairs on this show. I'm embarrassed for my relationship
with Andy Furman. I thought it was better than that.
But just understand that whoever's birthday party that's hosting the
big bad Andy Furman, who's too good for this show.
You've ruined the sanctity of this show. You've ruined my

(05:31):
relationship with him, and as far as I'm concerned, you'll
never hear his voice on my airwaves again. Boy, people
calm down a little bit with you, jeez at the
Jonas knocks on X at Jonas knock Shaw on Instagram.
And I'm not telling you that to give it to
him any kind of way on social media. I would
never tell you to do that. But you know, if
you wanted to at Andy Furman FSR, at Andy Furman FSR,

(05:54):
if you wanted to let him know that we're not
happy with you whereabouts here? What a goofball? Guy? Literally
chose a birthday party? Couldn't two literally two stepped? You've
ever been to a birthday party before? If it's not
a kid's birthday party and you're looking for any reason
to get out of those anyways, all right, if it's

(06:14):
not a kid's birthday, what's Furman doing right? Now, what
is he? What is he refereeing the bounce house? Two
guys is enough to meet? Apparently? Not all right, So
let's get into this. You know, the NBA is filled
with all sorts of characters. There's all sorts of really

(06:37):
really gifted, talented athletes. There's some players that do things
certain ways that rub people the wrong way, like you know,
Lebron James and the way he handles you know, social media,
the media, et cetera, et cetera. Like there's all that,
all that stuff going on, you know, because apparently if
he doesn't get a basketball after a game, you know,

(06:58):
he storms out with ice still on his knees and
all that. So what listen. But there's players around the
league that do things differently. And one of the things
that makes Anthony Edwards great is that he's one of
those guys that does things differently. When they zig his ags,

(07:20):
when their focus is here, his focus is there. And
so in the midst of last night's demolition of the
Minnesota Timberwolves, for lack of a better word, Anthony Edwards,
with about eight minutes left and his team down around thirty,

(07:40):
decided to go over and shake the hand of everybody
on the San Antonio Spurs Now Anthony Edwards postgame explained
his decision at that point. You know you ain't going
back in, so you're just trying to get him respected to.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Nerve show you.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean, pretty cut and dry. The problem is that
was seen by many people, including an NBA legend like
Dirk Noavitsky, who is part of Amazon Primes NBA coverage, which,
by the way, I got to say this, for what
it's worth. Of all the places that is showing the NBA,

(08:27):
Amazon by far and away the worst. I mean, it's
not even close. And it's not not talking about the
pre or the post or anything like that. It's the streaming.
It feels like it's late. They're they're they're announcing a call.
It just thought on the broadcasters so much, well not
all of them, but they're they're announcing a call. A
guy will hear a guy I an eagle, will announce

(08:48):
it the shot going in, and then two seconds later
it goes in. It just the whole thing's perplexing. Maybe
it's my WiFi. I have no idea. But the point
is Dirk Navitsky is part of the pre and post
and he's there with Steve Nash, you Donnis Haslam, you know,
he's there with Blake Griffin like and the conversation then

(09:11):
turns over to Dirknovitski about his thoughts on Anthony Edwards
shaking hands with the opposing team with eight minutes left
in the game.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
I've watched the NBA and been a part of for
a long long time. I've never seen this a guy
I'm walking into the huddle in eight minutes to go
in the fourth quarter and wapping up the entire team
too much for me. Obviously, you can do that after
the game and show plenty of respect that that was
a little strength for me.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, I would ask Dirknovitsky this, if you've never seen
that before, have you ever seen a guy pay his
child support in advance? Because Anthony Edwards did that too,
you know what I mean, Like, hey, listen, man, I'm
not giving you a yearly installment every eighteen years. Here's

(09:59):
a eighteen ahead of time. Have a nice life. I mean,
the guy does things differently. Okay, he just does and
he's one of those people that's just too honest and
too real for today. I wouldn't have done it the

(10:23):
shaking hands. Not the child sports stuff. I mean, if
you can whatever, I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't
have got over and shake any shook anybody's hands with
you know, eight minutes left in a game with my
team down thirty. Trust me, I just watched my son's
little league team losing a playoff game on Thursday night.

(10:43):
We were pissed. Do you know what it's like to
be sitting there rooting for a six year old on
another team to strike out? Do you know what that's like?
Let me tell you something makes you question where you're
at in line. But Anthony Edwards does things differently. There's

(11:06):
eight minutes left in the game, they're losing my thirty
something points, says you know what, ef It walks over,
shake some hands. Chris Finch's head coach was like like,
wait what and you got people going there? Oh? Why God?
He waved the white towel and the white flag whatever
you want to call it. He you know, he's quit

(11:26):
on his team, He gave up on his team, whatever
you want to call. The guy came back from an
injury that there's a lot of players who wouldn't have
come back from. He's willed his team to a spot
in which they got two games against a team that's
significantly better while undermanned. He's injured, the Vincenzo's out clearly undermanned.

(11:56):
I mean against a team who's got maybe the best
player on the planet, or at the very least, if
you don't want to call him the best player on
the planet, the most difficult matchup on the planet easily.
I mean. Victor webbin Yama looks like one of those

(12:19):
inflatable Halloween decorations that you get just to piss the
neighbors off, Like, Hey, why don't you just get Why
don't you get the one that's five feet Ye know
it'll blow up quicker. Nah, I'm gonna go with that
other one. Which one? The one over there?

Speaker 7 (12:38):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
You mean the grim Reaper that's thirteen feet Okay. Anthony
Edwards knew the deal. He knew what was going on here.
So he looks at it and says, what have we
got eight minutes left? Eh, time to go congratulate some people.
Oh I gave up on his team. No, he just

(12:59):
does things differently. That's just who he is. It's why
he's great. I told you. Comes to find out Hey, listen.
You know we're expecting a baby, you know, but hey,
if you could, you know there's gonna be some child
support that goes along with it. Oh there is what

(13:19):
are we looking at here? Steeves is times eighteen to
carry the two? All right, here we go enjoy see
you guys again. I wouldn't do it. You probably wouldn't
do it. I wouldn't go shake their hands. You wouldn't

(13:39):
do it. Dirk wouldn't do it. Blake Griffin wouldn't do it.
You Donnis has them, wouldn't do it. Steve Nash wouldn't
do it. There's probably nobody in the NBA that would
do it. But he just operates differently than everybody. You
don't have to like it. It's just a reality. And
the best part is he didn't give a rip. He
does not care. He will continue to do things the

(14:05):
way that he sees fit and if you don't like it,
tough balls. That's Anthony Edwards. Some people are just too
real and too honest for today, and he's one of them.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. We think we found the
solution for somebody. There's somebody in the world of football
that's got a real problem. They've got this issue. We
think we've solved that problem and we will get into
that for you coming up here in about ten minutes

(15:56):
from now. By the way, message heard loud and clear.
The great Andy Furman has has heard. The complaints that
were that were levied on this show. Might have come
in a little hot, but we laid it in pretty thick. Normally,

(16:18):
he is our horse racing expert and guest every time
we have one of these big races, I mean, assuming
the race is still going on, because last time horses
were running in a big race, like five of them
got scratched. One horse fell over like he was some
drunk at a bar who had had too much. But
the message was made loud and clear. It was heard,

(16:39):
and I am hearing reports that maybe Andy Furman maybe
could skip out on that birthday party. Who knows we
are trying to finalize some of those details. But for
those of you that reached out that heard us, lay
in Andy Furman, and deservedly so the guy, I mean,
what a scumbag move. Dear friend of the program, Hey,
could you come on now? I can't because I got
a birthday party? So like he's you know, hanging out,

(17:03):
you know, at some birthday party. Can't step aside for
ten minutes to tell us, you know, which, which wild
animal running in a circle is going to win a race?
Just it's a joke. But people did reach out to him.
I have that on good authority. So we will keep
you posted on the whereabouts of our horse racing expert
and apparently birthday party aficionado Andy Furman at some point

(17:24):
here on the show. All right, so let's get into
this because I know that that this is a thing
where people want to complain because like there's the whole
adage of dafter die. I get it. I'm well aware
of it. Things have changed. Look, man, I would like
simpler times too, you know what I mean? Sometimes I

(17:46):
would just like simpler times. Like it just there's a
lot going on. There's so much stuff out there. It's
you know, things are moving into pace at such a
rapid pace that that you almost can't even keep keep
your head on straight, trying to pivot and swivel and
look around to see what's going on. And in the NFL,
there is a changing of the landscape, if you will.

(18:09):
You've got you know, the White House getting involved and
the broadcasting rights. You know, you're talking about cable television
or basic cap or like you know, we want to
be able to watch games on on on on basic
channels like we could before. We don't want to have
to pay for all these streaming services. It's so expensive

(18:30):
to do that. It's you know, we want the free
broadcast networks, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And I
get all that, and I totally understand it. And so
then you get when the schedule comes out, You've got
the executive VP of Media Distribution, Hans Schroeder, who comes
out and defends the league talking about the streaming sites.
You know, we love our model. We're the most fan

(18:53):
friendly model there is, you know, of any sports or entertainment.
We think, you know, we're just a justing on the
fly to what else is going on there. They talked
about the midweek games, and he said, you know, we're
just following the fan interest of the midweek games and
all that, and like there's all this back and forth
and all this. You're putting games on here and then

(19:16):
we've got to go to here, and then they're not
on this day of the week, but they are on
this day of the week. And then they're moving games internationally.
We're starting off in Australia. They're going to Spain, Germany,
London again for a couple of stops. They're going to
Mexico at one point, they're going to Brazil. They're going
to all of these different places that the NFL is

(19:37):
going and all of these different places that the NFL
is going to be showing. And the reality is the
reason they do it is because they've got you and
me and them and him and those people over there.

(19:57):
They've got us all by the balls, all of us.
They can do whatever they want. They can show these
games wherever they want, they can put these games on
whatever day they want, they can put it on whatever
country they want, and we won't do a damn thing
except watch it, talk about it, discuss it, gamble on it,

(20:23):
complain about it and keep coming back for more. That's
the reality. They know whatever they put on, we're going
to take. I don't like the fact that I've got

(20:44):
to have four different remotes and have to look up
which game is on what streaming network or basic cable
network or broadcast. I don't want to have to do that.
I'd like one remote to get to everything and know
exactly where they're gonna be and make it simpler for

(21:06):
everybody involved. I would love. There's probably people out there
who don't even remember back when you would have a
direct TV bill or a cable bill or whatever it was.
And like, listen, I can remember growing up it was
Adelphia at one point, uh you know, Time Warner. There
was dish netwhere get all these different places, direct TV,

(21:28):
all these different places. And the great part about that was, Hey,
how much you pay for cable? This? You just knew
its right there. It's just that that right there. It's
that number right there. Cool? Sweet? Every month? You know it?
Every month like clockwork, every month, this is what you're paying.
There's probably a lot of people now if you ask me,

(21:48):
how much do you pay for a to watch TV? Ooh,
let me think about it again. Netflix here got Amazon
Prime Here, i got Peacock, I've got Paramount Plus, I've
got ESPN Plus, ESPN Unlimited, ESPN World, I've got There's
so many different places that you have a fee attached

(22:12):
to watch these games that it's confusing as hell. It's
not ideal for most people. The NFL doesn't care, and
it doesn't make them heartless. It just lets them know
we're in control. We control this. That's just the way
it goes. And you can try and say, well, you

(22:35):
know what, you keep this up, buster and we're gonna
go elsewhere. No, you're not. No, you're not. What are
you gonna do if there's an NFL game on and
you can't watch it, what are you gonna do? Go
play Checkers somewhere. You're gonna You're gonna put on a
hot and hot and bothered Connect four game with the

(22:57):
neighbors that you could bet on. Hey, who's on your
fantasy Call of duty? A team? Who do you got there?
This is they do this because they can. They own us,
They've got us. You just got to accept the reality

(23:17):
of it that it's like having a kid and realizing
the first time you go on vacation that's not a
vacation for you. That's a vacation for them. All it
does is make your life more difficult. It's easier with
things at home. You got it in a confined space.
You've got a schedule, you got a routine, and you
know what, let's get away, little family vaca. And what

(23:39):
does it turn into. You're the one cleaning up after them.
You're the one paying for all of it. You're the
one driving or flying or getting them ready for this.
You're doing the packing. You do it, and you have
to do it on their terms. For them, they run
the show. That's their vacation. It's not your vacation. You

(24:00):
know what your vacation was. The number of years before
you had a kid. That was your vacation. I hope
you enjoyed it. I hope you didn't sleep in too long.
I hope you went out and got crippled at a
bar with your friends and threw up all over somebody.
Because those days are over, buddy. The NFL owns us.

(24:20):
They've got us right where they want us, and we
can't do anything about it. They're gonna put on these
games whatever night of the week they want. They're gonna
put them on whatever streaming device they want. They're gonna
do whatever the f they want in whatever country they want,
and we can't do a damn thing about it. That's
just the facts. At the Jonas knocks on X by

(25:00):
we are going to tell you about a little bit
of a solution for somebody who's got a problem in
the world of football. That'd be yours here on FSR.
But for all the ladies, ladies and gentlemen, make some
noise for the man himself, for the prestigious and majestic
Sir Isaac.

Speaker 9 (25:18):
Longcross, Yes, Jonas, and stay tuned for Super Bowl seventy
one on Hulu Premiere Plus Singular Preferred love it.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Can I borrow your login for that one? By the way,
But well listen, I would say this man, you know
you remember like watching was it Dick Clark's Rock and
New Year's Eve? Course course, you know, and sometimes you
just got to accept adjustments when they pop up. I
never accepted that adjustment, but go well, once I started
dating my wife, I've never watched an American version of

(25:54):
New Year's Eve. I see, yeah, we always watch Telemundo always.
Oh that it's brilliant. Oh it's great. It's great because
you know, I don't know what's being said. I just
know it looks great.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
If you know what I mean, you don't know what's
being said, but you understand what's going on perfectly.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Oh let me tell you something, man, My eyes speak
perfectly as perfect Spanish. I mean they are like they
are bilingual as it gets. In fact, some would say
they're just Spanish. But when you're watching it, you know
it's it's you just sort of have to adjust to
what you know. The changes are in your TV viewing habits,

(26:36):
and I think that's just what people got to do
when it comes to the NFL.

Speaker 9 (26:39):
You know what, I would also have to add to
your Telemundo Nuevo Anyo Rock and Eve thought sabado gigante.
See are you don't tell me you're not familiar with
Sabado Gigante with Don Francisco. All right, that's your whole assignment.

(27:01):
Wasn't that a coffee? Isn't Don Francis? It actually is
a coffee, but it's a different it's a different guy entirely,
but it's along those lines.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
So feel free to do research on that.

Speaker 9 (27:12):
And you know, Jonas, your timing, as usual is letter
perfect because our top story also involves sports media because
we have a brand new, honest to goodness NBA conspiracy
theory that was originated within the last couple of hours.

Speaker 10 (27:27):
So last night, of course, the Detroit.

Speaker 9 (27:29):
Pistons won in Cleveland one fifteen to ninety four to
force a Game seven of the Eastern Conference semi Finals
tomorrow at Detroit. But Jonas, listen to the following promo
that aired this morning on ABC Television on the weekend
edition of Good Morning America.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
The Cavs iye another upsill fot the Knicks character dreams
on all of New York the.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Eastern Conference Finals the Cavaliers Knicks.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Game one on ABC.

Speaker 9 (27:59):
Now, to be fair, that was almost certainly just a
simple innocent airror. It was a promo that was supposed
to play if the Cavaliers had one last night. But
you know it's going to fuel conspiracy theories out there,
and it already has fueled that on social media in spades.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
You know, that's bad news for LeVar Arrington. I don't
know if you're familiar with this story. No, no, I
happened LeVar last week on the show when the Calves
were down O two because Brady Quinn is a big
Calves fan, brought up in near in Ohio, and LaVar
said that if the Calves won the series, that he

(28:40):
would be getting a sex change. Oh okay, so you
talk about really having some confidence. I suppose so I
was unaware of that. Yeah. I just want to let
everybody know that, you know, hearing that that promo could
mean really bad news here. I mean, look, look good news.
You know, we can you know, at a different vibe

(29:02):
to the show, But just letting you know that that
is a that that's really that could be problematic for
the show as well too. Let's go live to our
I've got something insider. Chris Profet the latest Chris Well,
you know he wouldn't be the first person on this
air that has promised such a thing, right, Jonas, what
do you mean, by the way, if Tony Roma gets
ten million dollars a year, I'm getting a sex change. Okay,

(29:24):
Well he didn't.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
Get ten million. He got much differm CBS. Yeah, no,
he got much more than that, So not technically Jonas.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Thank you, Isaac. I appreciate it. And let me tell
you something. There's there's something in the gambling world. And
for you degenerates out there, you know who you are,
what's up, Brendan Soresby. But there's something in the gambling
world we call being on the right side of a loss.
And there are times where you loved your pick, and
even after you lose, you still loved your pick. It's

(29:52):
not your fault you lost, it's their fault that you lost.
And when the broadcasting for Tony Romo was really, you know,
going in a positive momentum early on, in a positive direction.
Early on, there was conversations they were going to re
up his deal and give him in the range of
ten million dollars a year.

Speaker 9 (30:09):
Well because Monday Night Foot Monday Night Football was going
to go after him.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Right, And I said, man, if CBS gives Tony Romo
ten million dollars a year, I'm getting a sex change, clearly, clearly,
you know, not thinking that they would, and then they
ended up giving him like eighteen million a year. So
that's their fault. Why should I be held accountable for that?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Like?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Why should I turn into Janice because CBS made a
mistake and gave him eighteen million dollars a year.

Speaker 10 (30:33):
Oh, you already had the name picked out. You know
that works. That works.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
You know they call me show prep Jesus for a reason.
You know, I'm always prepared, always ready to go. I'm
to go to at two point fifteen when you struck
out on everything else, trot Parkers and you know it.
There's a drop for everything around here.

Speaker 9 (30:50):
Speaking of drops, the scores have dropped in Round three
of the PGA Championship, four way tie for the lead
right now between Ry McElroy Max Grazerman, Maverick mc neely,
and Alex Smalley. Mcelroyd today is five under through fifteen holes.
In Major League Baseball right now, the Tigers and Jays
are scoreless in the bottom of the sixth inning and finally, Jonas.

(31:11):
Last night in Saint Louis, as the Cardinals hosted the Royals,
a group of enthusiastic male fans in the right field
corner removed their shirts. Now, during the course of the game,
male fans from other parts of the stadium began making
pilgrimages to the right field corner, where they also removed

(31:32):
their shirts. It got to the point where there were
thousands of shirtless men in the right field corner, taking
up four full sections, and it resulted in the Cardinals
beating the Royals.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
In eleven innings.

Speaker 9 (31:44):
Made such an impression that Saint Louis manager Alie Marmol
has personally purchased a block of tickets for fans for
those sections to have their tarps removed, if you will,
for today's game and tomorrow's game. As he explained today
to KMV television.

Speaker 11 (32:03):
Yeah, it was just a really cool environment for our players.
And I've had several of the guys last night and
this morning come in and just talk about how cool
it was to play in that type of environment here
at home at Bush, especially after a long road trip.
So one of who recreate it and take care of
anybody that wants to sit in that section and get
after it.

Speaker 9 (32:22):
That section has been dubbed the tarp's off section, and
all those tickets for today and tomorrow sold out today
in less than ninety minutes.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Back to you, wow, I mean talk about what a
what a fall from grace for a historic franchise.

Speaker 10 (32:36):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 9 (32:37):
It's a fun, fun, organic thing and you're you're dumping
on it.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
That that's where the Cardinals are at. Hey, take your
shirts off so we can feel better about a team
and try and win games. Are you?

Speaker 10 (32:50):
They had what a debbie downer you are?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
They had record low attendance last year, record low. And
this is one of one of the great proud franchises
in all of sports. And and please take your shirts off, guys,
so we could have something to cheer for.

Speaker 9 (33:06):
Fun, spontaneous, organic thing for once in this filtered social
media world.

Speaker 10 (33:12):
And you take a crap on it.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
J I gotta take Jonas's side here. I think Yabia
Malina is spinning.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
In his grave.

Speaker 9 (33:17):
Well, actually, in fairness to both sides, Keen on social
media commented quote, Saint Louis used to be a premier
baseball town. Now the manager has to buy tickets to
give away, so some drunk front boys could take off
their shirts.

Speaker 10 (33:33):
Stan Musial is rolling in his grave.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
They it's just like, what are we doing here? And
by the way, does anybody think that he actually paid
out of pocket for those tickets? Yes?

Speaker 9 (33:43):
Oh really, you're calling them a My gosh, so that
makes it even worse that they need that they need
the money so bad they make the manager pay for
the tickets. What a callous view, What a callous view
of sports, while people like me still maintain the innocence
to cause us to fall in love with sports back
in the day.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
What a what a what a disgrace for an organization?
What's next? What are you gonna do? Wood be cushioned Wednesdays.
Every Wednesday, come to the ballpark. Will give you a
free fart bag for your purchase of a ticket. It's
actually not joke. It's actually not a bad idea.

Speaker 9 (34:17):
By the way, In an unrelated story, don't don't check
your mentions anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Oh getting bad. By the way, I'm getting bad, getting worse.
And I heard from Andy Firman. He's pissed.

Speaker 10 (34:29):
Good he can add add his name to the list.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah he's not happy. Well, hey, look, you know, you
never know who's listening man, And apparently in Saint Louis,
you never know who's watching, because there wasn't enough last
year that they got to know buy tickets so fans
can disrobe good. The Saint Louis Cardinals have turned into
Magic Mike. What a joke, Magic Mike Mathene. Yes, well done.

(35:02):
All right, it is Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, let me tell you about scams. This
is important, all right. I'm serious about this because every
scam starts with one thing. It's your personal info being
available to the wrong person. Okay, you know how you
get those weird calls from numbers that you don't know,
or you get these random emails from companies, and you're

(35:24):
thinking to yourself, why do you have my information? Why
do you have my number, Why do you have my email?
Why is this available to me and to you? And
why are you having the ability to contact me whenever
you want? Well, it's because they're scam artists, and nobody
likes scam artists. But there's a solution. It's called incogny.
They contact hundreds of data brokers. No joke, I've seen it.

(35:47):
I have in cogny. I have the dashboard you can
see in real time. It's like a video game. They're
just picking off scam artists on the web all over
the place to make sure that your information is not
accessible for those people to be able to call you
and email you and all that. So in Cogni contacts
these data brokers, they legally force them to remove your information.

right here on FSR Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. Coming
up top of next hour. We'll call it a little
over ten minutes from now. Somebody is not happy with
this show. They are not happy. They have voiced their

(36:54):

somebody coming up here a little over ten minutes from
now on FSR. By the way, you can get us

for this.

Speaker 8 (37:14):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
DMZ reports.

Speaker 8 (37:21):
Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big stories from
the last week. But Jonas, the real question is do
you care?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
And for that we turn it over to our executive
producer Bo Benson to find out what the hell's going on.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
Bo, Well, Jonas, the NFL schedule obviously released this week.
The Philadelphia Eagles, I believe, have like the seventh easiest
schedule based on thanks schedule. However, they play four teams
coming off of their bye weeks. Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah, you know, I care because I love the guys
that you know, put together the broadcasting plan, Like they're
the ones that put these schedules together. And then afterwards
they say, oh, there's no data that proves playing a
team on a short week or coming off of bye like,
the data doesn't suggest that, so we think it's blown
out of proportion. How would you know you're not playing

(38:10):
like you don't know what a short week is like,
you don't know, so this idea that, oh, that doesn't matter.
Those are the easiest schedules. I don't I don't put
much into preseason easiest schedules because for the most part,
we don't know how good these teams are going to be.
You don't know when an injury is gonna pop up.
You gotta wait and see. Approach with the NFL and
the schedule.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Next, Gina Carano lost one hundred pounds to make her
about what Ronda Rousey tonight happen?

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Jonas? Do you care? Yeah? I have you seen her?
I love it great, looks great, just lost one hundred
pud And everyone's like, nah, this is fake. She didn't
lose one hundred pounds. And then you go look at interviews,
you go, oh, wow, she actually has lost the weight.
She got the fight coming up later on. Who knows
how good it's going to be. You know, they're they're
both haven't fought in like a decade plus, but good
for them. They're gonna battle it out later on.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Next, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence got a haircut in the
schedule release video. Forthy Jags However, shockingly, he did not
actually cut his hair. Jonas, Do you care?

Speaker 2 (39:06):
No, I don't care. This is so gibsi. This is
like the seth rawlins Kyle Brandt, you know, spat that
they had and everyone's like, oh my god, they look
like there was legitimate heat there, and I'm like, dude,
this is fake, Like this is so fake. And then
I'm watching the Trevor Lawrence video going, there's no way
in hell that anybody who loves that man would let
him walk around with hair like that after he got

(39:27):
it cut.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
Next, Garrit Kigo missed the PGA Championship by one stroke
after being penalized for being late for his tea time.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Do you care? Yeah? I care? Man, the guy got
screwed because think about it, we were talking about on
the show yesterday. So his tea time was seven eighteen.
He showed up at seven eighteen and thirty seconds. Isn't
that still seven eighteen. I don't know about you, but
when I look at my iPhone, I don't see seconds.
I see hour and minutes. There is no seconds. So
if I look at my phone and it says seven eighteen,

(39:55):
it doesn't tell me if it's thirty seconds late. I
think the guy got screwed. Then it cost him money
because of it.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Next Britney Spears, Terra s. Shermanhos, California. This week the
notable thing it was Wines of the World liquor store
in Blue Dog Bulk right by the studio here, Jonas,
do you care?

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, I think it's wonderful. I think the story is wonterful.
People don't know that when you work at Fox Sports Radio,
you got options, all right, you got a Poio Loco,
you got Wines of the World, and you got the
Blue Dog. And she banged out two of the three
in one night. Brittany, come on back, come in studio.

And so when we open up the show last hour,
at the beginning of the hour, I was still a

(41:39):
little distraught because I assumed something I shouldn't have assumed.
I assumed that Andy Furman was my friend. I assumed
that we had we had, you know, have this decade
plus long relationship that we were on the type of
terms to ware Hey man, you know, when these big
horse races come up. Can you please come on? Because

(42:01):
you've handed out big long shot winners before. I think
the horse he picked last time actually, or one of
the horses he picked in his top three actually won
the race at the Kentucky Derby. I don't remember the
name of the horse, not even racing this weekends. Who cares?
But you know he comes on and it's like a
tradition if people look forward to. And it's fun. And
Andy fourman like operated race tracks for years and years

(42:23):
and years. He knows his stuff, like he taught me
how to Hey, this is what you look for in
handicapping horses. So it's fun. And then I call him
yesterday or I sent him a text message yesterday, Hey,
you ready, come on preak this baby. Let's have a conversation.
I can't. I got a birthday party, and so I
was pissed. Like the guy's standing next to a bounce
house or a pinata somewhere and he can't take two

(42:46):
steps to the left or right to get on his
phone and call in and tell us which horse is
going to run faster in a circle than the other horse.
I think it's disgusting. I just didn't think anybody was
gonna hear it, and apparently they did so without further ado,
we welcome in the one and only Andy Furman, Fox

(43:07):
sports radio host horse racing blow Hard. You get him on?

Speaker 11 (43:14):
Now?

Speaker 5 (43:15):
You got that off your chest? How did you got
that off your chest? You owe me something?

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (43:20):
I listened last hour and like you had like a
commercial you talk about people with scams and a phone
number cogny. Okay, right, I need that number because I
want to have you a number blocked. Okay, I need
to get that number. Give me a favorite, please, Okay,
hold on.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
A second, all right, hold on, let's every bridge relax here, okay, relax,
all right, we don't need to get violent on this show, right, okay? Now,
how did you know that we had maybe aired you
out to start the show last night?

Speaker 5 (43:48):
And I know my whole name, I think all of
northern Kentucky knew. I'm getting vocal. I had to take
my phone off the hook. Hey, this guy in the
radio is killing you. He's killing you.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
What what are you talking about? Really?

Speaker 5 (43:59):
I mean I didn't think anybody listened to you. Really,
those are the same people that send you those texts?

Speaker 2 (44:05):
So I love it so so apparently you know you
heard you were in our commentary. I was upset. Listen,
I was upset. You're telling you shame me, you shame
me into it. It's okay, all right, what birthday party?
You retirement? What are you guys going to chuck e cheese? No?

Speaker 5 (44:22):
I got two sons and their birthdays are very close together.
One's on the single demio and one was on the fourteenth.
So we all decided to get the family together. And
this evening we're going out to Fine dining for a
birthday little party. So I want them to get ready,
go they get mentally ready. I want to to shower.
It's been such a long time. I forgot how to shower.
I forgot how to turn the water on. You know,

(44:42):
I shower like once a week. I go out of
the house once a week, and I changed my clothes
every other week. Okay, so maybe today it'll be a
different day. I'll clean up, I'll look good. It takes
me a time to do it because I haven't done
it in a while. You know, I forgot. That's why.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Hey, by the way, Andy, sorry to kill your game.
Prep for that luscious dinner at bob Evans later on. Sorry,
we're going through the Burger King drive through. Okay, I'm sorry,
you're gonna get him birthday crowns those little baby friends
for a day, baby, that's great. By the way, I
brought one of those home to my son he was
four years old. He wouldn't even put it on, he

(45:17):
was so ashy.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Know what, though, if I would have known that, I
would have called you during the week. I could have
mailed it to me.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
By the way, you know, and just for the record,
you know this is not a shot at Andy's sons,
because Andy's actually been great to my son. For my
son's birthday, he sent him a sombrero. So that ought
to tell you everything you need to know about Andy
Furman and the way he treats my family. But also,
I will say this, I wasn't trying to shame me
into doing this. I was just told that I couldn't

(45:45):
believe where's this? By the way, I don't want to
give out your information, but where's this fine dining at
that you guys are going? It was a skyline? Where
are you guys going? It's okay?

Speaker 5 (45:55):
Can I tell you after the factless I don't want
the same people that called me up to show up
at the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
You want to say, that's fair. Hey, when you go there,
you get to have a couple of drinks, a couple
of cocktails. I don't need that a little bit. I
don't need that crutch. Really, what do you mean come?

Speaker 5 (46:08):
I just you know, I like fine dining and I
don't have to have an alcohol crutch.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
I really don't. Thirty years Andy, thirty years all right? So,
and by the way, that's that's also another true story.
Would you tell the listeners? The audience's just they know
that you and I go back a long ways. Would
you tell them?

Speaker 5 (46:28):
I'm embarrassed, I mean, do you have to bring that?

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Tell them? I mean really, tell them what how you
met your wife and where you guys had your wedding?
Please tell them, would you please?

Speaker 5 (46:40):
I was the PR director of the now Rest in
Peace Latonia Racecourse, which has turned names to turf Wait
Park Latonia Racecourse in Florence, Kentucky. I was the PR guy,
and she worked there and I met her there. But
one day I'm driving to work and they have these
reserve spots and yeah, PR direc the spot general manager.

(47:01):
So I drive there and I see someone park in
my spot. I got in the front door, I said,
who the hell parked them my parking spot?

Speaker 2 (47:08):
And it was a.

Speaker 5 (47:09):
Pretty little blonde, petite female. And I fell in love
at first sight, and I felt terrible. I yelled and screamed.
So next day I bought us some flowers. And after
that love bloomed. Love bloom so then with dating, and
then all of a sudden, the general manager says, you know,
we really need a promo for opening night. This is
opening night in nineteen eighty four. So like a schmuck,

(47:31):
I raised my hand at the staff me and I said,
I'll get married. He said, what, Yeah, I saw I'll
get married. This is like, you know, three weeks prior
to you know. So I go home and I tell Wendy.
I said, you know what, I told her, we're getting what.
She put the wedding together in three weeks. But to me,
and yeah, she did a lot of work. She got
the band whatever, I don't know. She got everything there,

(47:51):
the limo, the whole deal. But for me, I had
to find a rabbi that would marry us. You know,
it's not that easy. They'll get a row by to
come to a racetrack aren't that many temples in the
northern Kentucky Cincinnati area, but I found one, all right,
Rabbi Greenberg did it. And if you don't believe me,
you could get the Sports Illustrated in nineteen eighty four
in September because it was written up in Sports Illustrated

(48:13):
and so and the bottom line is this, this is
the kicker.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
After the wedding, Rabbi Greenberg's son calls me up. By
the way, I'm shocked it wasn't a Rabbi O'Connor. Boy, boy,
what about a stutter over there?

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Well, you know me.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
So his son calls me up and says, I understand
my dad's name was in Sports Illustrated.

Speaker 10 (48:34):
Yeah, can I Can I get a I said.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Can I get a cu go down to the store
by a freaking copy of Sports Illustrated. Really, I mean,
he's calling me up for a copy of Sports Illustrated.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Really amazing. So you met your wife at a racetrack,
and you got married at a racetrack, and people wonder
why we have you on as the horse racing expert.
That's why, and that's how romantic you are.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
That's why it was Opening night, Opening Night Latonia, nineteen
eighty four, and I said, anybody that brings the gift
will get them free. We have five thousand people. Five
thousand people showed up opening up, but I did not
get one gift. But I will say this. You know,
I worked for Sports Service for about seven years. Delaware
North Companies based out of Buffalo Sports Service, and they
operated racetracks. They did the concessions of a lot of

(49:16):
Major League Baseball parks. They were wonderful for me. I
mean they were great. They paid, they did the whole wedding,
they did the catering, they did the band, they paid everything,
They paid it all. So I love Sports Service, I
love Delaware North. Well, your wife is lovely. She's a
wonderful person.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
And I'm just grateful that Rabbi O'Reilly, you know, thought
enough of you guys to marry you at a horse track.
I think that's great.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
You know, well, you know we've got an international we
have an international family. My wife's Canadian Canadian citizen. Okay,
she did convert for the wedding, which was great. And
our two sons are from Bulgaria. So I'm like the
only one who speaks English, and I don't even do
that that, well.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Andy, affect the World Baseball Classic in their house. There
you go, FIFA World Cup. So all right, so let's
let's get into this here, can get enough enough with
the fan boying here. Let's get into this, all right.
So we got the Preakness coming up later on. By
the way, should be pointed out a little bit of history.
All right, We've got a little bit of history in

(50:14):
this race because for the first time in the history
of the race, we're talking decades and decades. For the
first time, this is actually not going to be a Pimlico.
This is gonna World Park Park, right, So Pimlico under construction,
all right, So Laurel Park, easy for me to say,
is the spot for the race coming up later on?

(50:35):
So tell me, Andy, who do you like here? I
know you've been studying this hard as you get ready
for this big giant birthday Bash'll make fun to make
fun now, no listen, I mean I would never do that.
You guys are going to be at Chili's later, so
I know you're you're getting ready for that big fine
dining birthday bash. I know you've been preparing for this,
all right, So what are we looking at in this race.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
All right, it's a full field, but the field's only
fourteen horses, and there's a lot of storylines in this race,
believe it or not. That's what I look for, you know,
as a pr guy at heart, that's what I look for.
And if you remember last year the winner of the
Kentucky Derby was Sovereignty. Okay, and Sovereignty was trained by
Billy Mott. Well, this year, Roley Mott, his son, has

(51:14):
his son, has his son. He has a horse in
the Preakness. Incredible. Incredible to me is the horse that's
going to win.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
All right.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
I think Incredible is going to win. And you know,
last year, the funny thing is, though Sovereignty did not
run in the Preakness, just like this year, the Derby
winner is not running in the Preakness, right, Golden Tempo
and last year's Derby running the Preakness again, which really
is it downer for the Preakness because you know, the
triple crown is busted and you can't do that. But

(51:42):
this year, Roley Mott, the son is taking his horse
Incredible going.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Into the Preakness today.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
And I tell you he didn't win the Derby, but
he finished sixth in the Derby, but I think I
think he's got a shot. The Morning Light was five
to one. I like, incredible to win. But Jamie Torre
is probably a relative of yours, Taurus. What I mean
this is, I's wrong with that Jamie in the silks?
Where in the silks?

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Yes? All right, so now if that's the by the way,
for anybody that's wondering, Uh, you know, my wife is Mexican.
So if you're wondering the racial undertone, see the racial
undertones courtesy of Andy Furman. They are alive. Well here
on this show. See he is correct whatever that means.
But all right, so you like incredible to win the race? Uh?

(52:27):
All right? Now are there any other is that you
look at? Maybe place? There's another? Yeah, the second the
second place? Who was to me?

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Another tremendous storyline here? I like taj mahal to.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
This Indian food. You go again?

Speaker 5 (52:41):
Okay, but that's okay, that's all right. Tash Mahole is
trained by Brittany Russell. Get this though Brittany Russell is
She's based in Maryland. Obviously that's where Laurel Park is
and for the last three years she's been the top
trainer in the state of Maryland, and the Preakness race
is the last race in the Triple Crown that a
woman trainer has never won. And if you remember, this
year's Derby was won by Golden Tempo and Sherry Devau

(53:04):
was a trainer and a woman obviously, so this would
be a great story if in fact tos Mahall would
even win it. But I think tos Mahole is gonna
finish second. Inside posts position is not going to be
a great situation for a horse that runs on the
lead like Toash Mahall does. But TOAs Mahole, I think
is good enough to finish second in this race.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
All right, And then who do you got to show?
Who do to do? Like the se show? I love
to show you the hell we did? The hell we did?
Oh excuse me?

Speaker 5 (53:32):
A horse?

Speaker 2 (53:33):
All the seven horse? Yeah, I believe that's a seven
horse at fifteen to one. Okay, there you go. I'm
seeing fifteen to one as the line on on the
hell we did? All right? They were like the hell
we did? And the hell we did?

Speaker 5 (53:43):
Finish second in Grade three lection in stakes that was
in Keenland. You were a Keenland you and Brady were there.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
What do they got the burgo there is that? Like
the soup is called burgo. I think it's like a
gue that they have ye burgoo whatever. That's okay, it's
great man. But by the way, Keenland, I have heard
that Keyland is actually nicer than Churchill Downs. Is that true?
It is accurate.

Speaker 5 (54:03):
And the funny thing is when we were killed, did
you notice on the other side of the infield, on
the other side of the track all those private planes
that were flying in for that.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, big money there. Yeah, that was awesome.
That was a really good time that. That was another
time I tried to get you to state of the
ang out with me. I was there, what I was
there with you in Keenland? Yeah, okay, didn't hang out
long enough? All right, well, listen, hell we did. There's
two wins, two seconds and four lifetime starts. So so
we like all the uh incredible and we got Tosmole second,

(54:35):
and I like to hell we did third?

Speaker 8 (54:36):
All right?

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Well, Andy, uh, listen, we we really do appreciate you
hopping on with us. The hell we did. I mean,
we we know that there's that there's a lot of Uh,
there's there's a lot going on in your life. You're
very busy. You've got a lot going on coming up
later on. So I just want to thank Andy Furman.
He's a good friend of ours. He did it yet again.

(54:59):
And so when you see Andy at or are we
doing this now?

Speaker 7 (55:06):
For?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Do I have to know just the Belmont? Yeah, but
I would assume. I don't know if you have a
don't assume anything. Okay, Look, I don't know if you
have a if you've got you know, plans already at
Hunt Brothers Pizza. I just wasn't sure. I wasn't sure.
What's your what you all right? So Andy, happy birthday
to the kids. And if you see Andy birthday, if

(55:30):
you see Andy at Cheddars Scratch Kitchen or Cask Southern
Kitchen and Bar or Jaggers, just you love this pics today?

Speaker 8 (55:39):
Why me?

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Why me?

Speaker 5 (55:41):
Really?

Speaker 8 (55:41):
All right?

Speaker 2 (55:42):
By the way, here Andy and Bucky Brooks coming up
tomorrow on the show tomorrow. Good right, thanks, okay, great?
Thanks right? All right? Man, be good see you. Oh
my god, it's just there's a lot there. Andy Ferman,

(56:03):
Fox sports radio host horse racing Blowhard. You hear him
with Bucky Brooks Sunday morning, six to nine am Eastern
Time at Andy Furman FSRS, where you can find him
on X at Andy Furman FSR. Listen, people are listening.
By the way, taj Mahall is a great beer. It's
a great Indian beer. Just want to point that out here.
You know, there was a lot of things that were

(56:24):
touched on there, a lot of countries. There's some people
might have been offended by some of the content between
Andy and myself, but listen, man, tos Mall is a
great beer. Now making it up. Don't go research it yourself.
Ai that somebody use Claude and find that one. So
there's this picks incredible taj Mahall and the hell we
did from the great Andy Furman here on Fox Sports Radio.

(56:46):
All right, Jonas Knox here, you can get us on
X at the Jonas Knox you can find us on
Instagram at Jonas Knox Show. Coming up next though, we
are going to tell you about how there's been an adjustment.
There's been an adjustment in the enna that actually benefits
all of you, and it's yours here at FSR. Jonas
Knox Fox Sports Radio. We're going to get to some

(57:11):
of the feedback on this show, because there's a few
comments that have been sent in on social media that
we are going to pass along to you as best
we can without getting thrown off the air. Those will
be hitting you in about ten minutes from now, just
letting you know, so if you want to provide more

(57:34):
at the Jonas Knocks On X at the Jonas Knocks
On X, and we will fire off a few of
those here again, coming up in about ten minutes from now.
I did want to mention this before we get into
this NFL story. I didn't want to just bring this
up here because we were going to bring this up
earlier in the show and then Andy Furman heard us
bury him in the first segment, and then we had

(57:54):
to adjust on the fly and things like that, and
it lock going on. Man, the show's not exactly scripted,
if you know what I mean. So we're just we're
adjusting on the fly and it's in real time. But
I did want to point this out. So Brendan Soresby,
who was referenced earlier as a little bit of a
gambling joke, because listen, man, that's America's quarterback right there.
Guy likes to gamble. I mean he's placing, like, you know,

(58:17):
twenty thousand wagers or ten thousand wagers or whatever it is.
He's wagering a day, twenty different bets a day. But
guy likes to get after it. So Ross Dellinger of Yahoo,
who covers college football, he's been all over this Sorsby stuff,
and he reported that Soorsby's lawyers have requested from the

(58:39):
NCAA and expedited resolution to his attempt to have his
eligibility reinstated. Per the report, they are reporting that they
told the NCAA that a legal challenge is imminent. All right,
So basically what's happening is here is Brendan Soresby wants
to know one way or the other if he can
play college football this year or if he needs to

(59:01):
go to the supplemental draft in the NFL. They're looking
for answers. They want a Resolutionaire I have a resolution.
I know the answer. The answer is you will never
see him play college football ever. Again. That's over. Man

(59:22):
up and vanish like a fart in the wind. Gone
not happening. They're not letting him back in. There's already
been a precedent. Sent President said that was you know, Iowa,
Iowa State, that whole stuff that was going on. I
think it was Hunter Deckers might have been the name
of the kid. Similar situation was betting on games. To

(59:45):
think that the NCAA, to think that Brendan Soresby or
anybody representing Brendan Soresby thinks he's got a legitimate shot
in hell at getting back into college football after he
admittedly or at the very least it was discovered he
was betting on Indiana games while on the team. To

(01:00:08):
think you've got a shot at getting in is preposterous.
Now does it offend me? Would it bother me if
he got back in? No, it's another story. What do
I care? Guy likes to gamble, So what Andy Furman
was on four minutes ago given out picks? What do

(01:00:29):
I care? But to think that he would have a
shot to get back into college football after people knowing
and finding out that he was betting on Indiana games
while a player there. Oh, but he didn't bet against him.
I get it. That's the Pete Rose argument. Totally get it,
and it does make sense. Anybody that says it doesn't

(01:00:50):
you're not being honest about it. But you can't set
a precedent that you can do that, and we'll let
you back in as long as you go to some
treatment facility somewhere. So he's probably gonna end up in
the supplemental draft. They want an expedited, you know, version

(01:01:10):
of whatever the ruling is going to be, because they realize, hey,
the clock is ticking. Are we getting in here? Are
we going to go there? And I just want to
help him out here. You're not getting back into college football.
I just start getting ready for the supplemental draft because
his days of playing at the college level are over.

is to say, you know, this show's real. I'm going

(01:01:54):
to take a sip of my coffee on the air
right now. By the way, it's not booze because I'm
not Britney's two doors over. Let me just take a
sip beer because I think that we need to have
less at times in sports. What I mean by that

(01:02:16):
is there are so many Have you ever gone on
to say ESPN and gone on too ESPN Plus or
whatever they're calling it now and seeing how many games
are on at one time? Have you gone onto Netflix
to see how many documentaries there are? If you close
your eyes, spin around three times and open them up,

(01:02:37):
there will be four more documentaries about a wife who
drugged her husband, dismembered him, and then got married to
the dog afterwards. It's everywhere. There's content everywhere, all over
the place, and it's all there. It's the restaurant with

(01:02:57):
the big menu. What do you want to eat? I
don't know. I just got to page thirteen. What are
you going to have? So what the NFL has done
is they've started to spread things out a little bit.
They've started to put games on different nights, put games
in different areas, and listen, I'm not the biggest fan

(01:03:18):
of all these games being on all these different streaming sites.
As we talked about earlier, you know, it gets a
little confusing at times. The one thing I would say
that I do like about what the NFL's done, Sundays
are no longer the destination that they once were. You
can get sentimental about that if you want, and that's fine.

(01:03:40):
There's still games on Sundays. There's still majority of the
games on Sundays, but there's a lot less than there
was before. And there's a lot of conversations that we
had on this air, on this network last year and
in previous years that there are some of the windows
on a Sunday that are awful. Football games awful. It's

(01:04:03):
why we have a segment on this show during the
football season called the Thank God for Gambling Game of
the Week, because if not for gambling, who would watch that?
Because that's you know, paying tribute to the one game
that was always in Standard Deaf when HD first came out.
And so I look at, you know, the NFL on Sundays,

(01:04:23):
and I go, man, it's just it's not it's taken
a backstep, or it's taken a back seat, and a
step backwards to streaming and the other games of the
week because the end of the people that put these
schedules together have told you we are prioritizing different days
of the week, holidays specifically, and big games on big

(01:04:44):
days Christmas Day after Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Day before Thanksgiving, and
you're seeing big time games are going to be featured
on there, much like they were when it used to
just be Sunday Night football or Monday Night football. That's
the priority. And I got to be honest with you,
I'm into it because you're gonna get to see more

(01:05:07):
games by getting fewer on Sunday, you can actually watch
these games. One of the things that I hate about
college football is when there's a eight pm Eastern time
kick and there's two or three great games on at
the same time. Oh, I use multiview. I don't want
to can I watch one game and then the other ones.

(01:05:31):
I like the ability to be able to watch a
game and I have to go back and forth so
I can actually partake in what's happening in the game.
I like that ability. The NFL at least, is trying
to give you that now, is it because they care
about you being able to watch one game at a time. No,
it's because they got more money from Netflix and some
of these other streaming sites. I get it, but there

(01:05:51):
is something to be said about stand alone and having
an opportunity to watch a game as opposed to trying
to watch a game with all the other events that
are going on. There is something to that. It does
become a little bit more appointment television than Hey, throw
everything on a Sunday, hope that you've got enough eyeballs
or TVs in the house to pay attention. And if

(01:06:13):
that doesn't work for you, get out to a sports
bar and just deal with the drunk you're sitting next to.
So you may not like the fact that they're streaming
and all these different places on different days and all that,
and I get it if you're a traditionalist, and I'm
a traditionalist at heart, I get it. But I do
like the fact that you could actually see more by
getting less on Sundays at the Jonas Knocks on X

(01:06:35):
at Jonas Knockshow on Instagram. We'll get to some of
the feedback here on the show coming up here just
a couple of moments from now, but for all the latest,
we turn it over to surise at longro.

Speaker 9 (01:06:45):
What's this about a documentary about the wife murdering the
husband and then marrying the dog.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Oh you know what I mean, man, there's some freaks
out there. Yeah, freaks.

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:06:53):
But back in the day, that used to just be
a typical episode of Dateline NBC.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Yeah, I'm I'm with you. Listen, tell me about it. Man.
Remember Taxi Cab Confessions. Remember that show on on HBO
back in the day.

Speaker 9 (01:07:08):
I mean, I'd put any of those against you know,
the crap that we got to deal with today. I mean,
I mean you were you remember Keith Morrison? Was that
the name of the host of date Line NBC That
just added to the charge. I think it was Keith Morrison.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
You know it was like, oh yeah, it was like.

Speaker 10 (01:07:28):
Carl thought he was about to buy himself a case
of beer.

Speaker 9 (01:07:32):
Unfortunately he was about to buy himself a case of murder.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Yeah, that's not like that anymore. You're good at that, Isaac. Now,
you know you should do voiceovers to some of those
murder documentaries. That'd be great. Imagine telling the missus about that. Honey,
I gotta go. You were gonna Chargers game again? No,
I'm doing a story about you know, a neighbor who
slept with the pool cleaner and then buried him in

(01:07:57):
the air conditioner after you do know, as part of
the Aaron Hernandez movie. Right, Oh that's right. Yeah, you're
the one who convinced him to murder that guy. Right.

Speaker 9 (01:08:08):
As much as I enjoy your attempts to promote my career,
I was type cast as the announcer for his first
college football game at Florida.

Speaker 10 (01:08:17):
Unfortunly, I don't have the range to delve into the
dark side.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
By the way, speaking of documentaries, how many have there
been on Aeron Hernandez? Like, we get it, boy, I know,
we get everybody. We're well aware of what happened. Trust us,
we know we got it.

Speaker 10 (01:08:37):
Yeah, you know it's.

Speaker 9 (01:08:38):
What's the phrase they have, jumping the shark? Yeah, that's true.
You know what's jumping the shark? The number of leaders
at the Pgaha.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Hey you what a professional?

Speaker 6 (01:08:49):
I'm mad?

Speaker 10 (01:08:50):
Hey you throw you throw anything at me. I could
segue that baby into edything.

Speaker 7 (01:08:56):
We had the best ping pong player on the planet,
and literally just as I said that, it went from
a four way tie for the lead to a six
way tie for the lead.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
They're killing me.

Speaker 9 (01:09:08):
Maddy Schmid, Nick Taylor, Aaron Rye, Ludwig Oberg, Stephen Jaeger
and Maverick McNeely all tied for the lead at the
PGA Championship at four under par overall, and I had
heard of a grand total of one of them before
this tournament started. Rory McElroy and Xander Schoffley are one
shot back. Scottie Scheffler back to back bogies, so he's

(01:09:31):
fallen off the pace.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
He is now three shots off the lead.

Speaker 9 (01:09:35):
In soccer today, Manchester City defeated Chelsea in the f
A Cup Final one to nothing at London's Wembley Stadium.
Let's listen to the only goal the match from the
Great John Murray on BBC Radio five Live.

Speaker 12 (01:09:48):
Sky Blue comming full stil Bonado Silva slips it to
the right of the area.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Paes a.

Speaker 12 (01:09:55):
Zack, Look, I clever a chuch. That was from one
of the I did shout the season. I've clutched him
and you I'm not ches the city age. It was
Keith Chief, it was clep Up. It had a bit
of trickery of magic of pouchick.

Speaker 10 (01:10:11):
John Murray, the Keith Morrison of British soccer commentators.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
By the way, I don't know. I just made it up.
It seems to fit.

Speaker 8 (01:10:20):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
You know, yeah, Keith Morris, I'll go for that.

Speaker 9 (01:10:23):
I mean, he's the Keith Morrison of British soccer commentators.
I don't know if he's done any murder documentaries for
the BBC, but you know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Perhaps he's strong. Can I agree? Years old? I agree?

Speaker 10 (01:10:35):
We got he's seventy eight. Keith Morrison.

Speaker 9 (01:10:38):
All right, all right. Anybody who doesn't like Keith Morrison
is someone who I do not like. In Major League
Baseball right now, the Toronto Blue Jays have gone up
two to one at Detroit on the top half of
the tenth inning, Rocky's up to nothing over the Diamondbacks
top of the second, Cardinals a one nothing lead over
the Royals in the bottle of the third inning, and
Saint Louis and finally Jonas we have an update. It

(01:11:00):
turns out that the people who began the whole shirts
off spectacle at the Cardinals game last night that you
have disavowed. You and Bob Benson have disavowed they were
members of the Stephen F. Austin University club baseball team,
not the baseball team of the university's athletic department, their
club baseball team. And what's interesting is, you know, Stephen F.

(01:11:24):
Austin is in Knacadochis, Texas, if I'm not mistaken. So
it was quite a commute there between there in Saint Louis.
So they're the ones who started that phenomenon. Last night,
back to you, boy, what's it like for.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
The Cardinals right now? Man? It was sweet on a
Friday night. We had a club team from Steven F.
Austin or states away drive up so they could cheer
on our team with their shirts off.

Speaker 9 (01:11:49):
What a jaded view of sporting fandom you have. You know,
it's a good thing that your legions of fans on
social media are not as jaded and trolling as you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
I couldn't even say that with like why don't you
just why don't the Cardinals just you know, like take
the rest of the year off and let the Savannah
Bananas host games there, like just like like put on
a whole production, like just do that.

Speaker 10 (01:12:17):
I wouldn't tick off Cardinal fans on social media, friendly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
What are they gonna do? Take their shirts off. All right, yeah,
thank you. Isaac Jonas knocks here on Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, we are going to close up shop

like Sean who writes in this DEI hack Sewad Jonas

Speaker 8 (01:15:39):
How could you not get to these stories?

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Moros? Are there? Scraps? All right? Executive producer Bo Benson,
What the hell have we missed so far on the show?

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
So apparently the famous jockeys and horse racing and your
tees brothers and Dodgers reliever Edwin Diaz, they're all implicated
in cock fighting and port we go. Yeah, the Facebook posts,
which is really funny, I guess there were public Facebook
posts with or with Diaz and a Dodger's uniform talking
about to come see Reliever of the Year Edwin Diaz

(01:16:13):
at this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Okay, can I tell you the best part about this?
And I think people might might have, you know, taken
this the wrong way, which was the goal. I just
want to be clear and that that was the goal.
I hope that you took it took it the wrong way.
But the fact that they were drawing such little attendance
at these cock fighting events that they had to have

(01:16:34):
Edwin Diaz War's Dodgers' uniform just to get people to
show up, I think is tremendous. I think that says
a lot about the Dodger organization that's called that's called
global branding there bo okay, And as a Dodger fan,
you should be proud of that. Yeah. No, we couldn't
get anybody to show up when he was wearing his
Mets jersey. The second he got to the Dodgers, people
started caring about the cock fighting ring. It's great.

Speaker 4 (01:16:57):
Yeah, I love I love this idea that the Dodgers
had no clue about it, Like they were public Facebook
posts and you're telling me that the Dodgers didn't know
about this before they signed him.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
I mean, it's it's also like here, here's the other
part of this, and I'm not looking I'm not condoning it,
and I'm not saying that that it's okay to do
or anything like, I don't, I don't, you know, that's
not the case. But it's kind of like the the
Michael Vick stuff in the sense that there's a lot
of people that grew up and that's just kind of
the culture. Like it doesn't make it right. I'm not

(01:17:29):
saying it makes it right. I just think that there's
a lot of people that go, well, that's yeah, that's
normal like that, that's just kind of that's kind of
what we do here that and it doesn't It takes
somebody on the outside going yeah, but that's not okay,
that's not that's just not how this works. And from
my understanding, Edwin Diaz didn't know that it was illegal,

(01:17:50):
like he like he thought it was legal there but
not legal here or something along those lines, So there
is some confusion. I just don't know what sort of
punishment this results in, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:18:01):
What I mean, Yeah, I don't think it results in anything.
Especially because Diaza is not playing right now.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
You know, if they do, they contact the Dodgers say like,
how long is he going to be out? They got
another sixty days? And then they just come out and say,
all right, we've made the decision to punish him. He's
suspended for the next sixty days. Yes, like that's it.
Come on, Like, what are we talking about here? All right?
What else we got?

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
The NFLPA is holding the rookie you know, introduction for
all the highly the newly drafted players. You're seeing them
in their uniforms the first time. Seeing those players in
their uniforms for the first time. Among those are Rams
rookies Ty Simpson and Max Clair. However, there is a
glaring issue with these uniforms they're wearing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
What's the problem.

Speaker 4 (01:18:42):
They're wearing the old Rams jerseys that they just replaced. Well, okay,
you buy a tie. If you pull a Ty Simpson
rookie card, theoretically he's going to be wearing the old
Rams jersey that he will never wear as a player.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
Oh well, that makes it worse something, doesn't it.

Speaker 10 (01:19:00):
You would hope so, But those jerseys were also so
bad that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:04):
You wouldn't want to see him again.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Because it isn't that the Because when when baseball cards
and memorabilia has a blemish or a mistake, they're usually
worth something like you usually get like worth more. I
can remember when when the NHL had a lockout or
whatever it was and they finally came back. I was
so excited at the NHL back I brought. I bought
a Pittsburgh Penguin shirt and they mispronounced they misspelled Pittsburgh,

(01:19:28):
and I thought this has got to be worth something.
It was worth nothing at all. So who knows. Maybe
Ty Simpson's card will now be worth something because he's
got the old Rams juniors. I'll be honest with you,
I don't know that there's there's that much of a
difference between the two, but to each their own. You
play it a giant gazebo, you get the jersey that
comes along with it, shonas son of a bitch,
