Speaker 1 (00:00):
That got Jonas knocks you heard me.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
The brain, some darkness is lighting up your speakers to
establish an alibi for the day. Now live from the
Fox Sports Radio studios, here's Jonas Knox.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Ye say, okay, I'll be part of this world.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, you know, somebody's got to be responsible for this mess,
and we've identified who it is. We'll get into it
coming up here in just a couple of moments from now,
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to this
show as always on the iHeartRadio app. You can find

(00:57):
us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country and
wherever the hell you are making us a part of
your Saturday morning into the afternoon. We appreciate you doing so.
We will take you all the way up until four
pm Eastern time, one o'clock Spacific.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Good a lot, and we have got to address a
situation that has one person who's going to be held
accountable for everything, and that situation is in the NFL.
Now you're probably saying, well, come on, man, it's the
NBA Finals. Why don't you start with the NBA Finals.

(01:30):
I don't know why you tell them to get to
their games A little quicker, so I have to wait
fifteen months for the next game to start. But we digress.
There's nothing worse, and I say that obviously because there
are some things that are worse. But for the sake
of this take, there is nothing worse than being the

(01:53):
only sober person in a group full of drunks. Nothing worse.
And it's not even that you gave up drinking all together.
You just decided, Hey, for one night, I'm going to
sacrifice for the greater good. I'll be the DD, I'll
be the designated driver. Because you're sitting there in full faculties,

(02:16):
You've got everything going like, you are totally clear, you
are totally coherent, and you're in a room full of
clowns who are having the time of their lives, and
everybody's doing whatever they want to do. But ultimately it's
you that's going to be held responsible. You're the one

(02:36):
that's going to be responsible for getting everybody out of
there on time. You're the one that's going to be
responsible for making sure everybody's got their card, that they
don't leave it at the bar to have to, you know,
do the walk of shame in there the next day.
You're the one that's got to make sure everybody's together.
You're the one to make sure everybody's fed. If somebody
gets sick, you're the one who's gonna have to v
like you are sacrificing for the greater good. But it

(03:01):
gets annoying. It's annoying. I'm just telling you. If you
know a buddy who's constantly the DD or constantly the
sober guy amongst all your he's annoyed. He may not
say it, he might have patience, but he's annoyed. That
guy in the NFL is Kevin Stefanski, the head coach

(03:24):
of the Cleveland Browns. He is your sober guy in
a car or room full of drunks, because once again,
he's got to deal with something. Every time, it's Stefanski
who's got to be the guy that's held accountable for
all of it. Now, you could look at this situation

(03:46):
with Shador Sanders and the two speeding tickets, and we
could sort of dismiss the whole thing, you know, like, look,
I've sped, you've sped. It's happened, we've all done it.
I mean my last speeding ticket, I showed up into court.
I was ready to fight it to make a claim

(04:07):
that this is not true, and in reality, I knew
that it was true. I knew that I was speeding,
but I was just hoping that the cop wouldn't show up,
and that way I wouldn't have to take traffic school
or anything, and I'd be gone, be out of here.
There's no way this guy's showing up. And before the
thing even started, somebody tapped me on the shoulder and
it was that cop with proof that I did speed,

(04:28):
and I got up and left to waste of time.
Why am I here? You're right, pay my fine, do
the school all good? So it's not really about the
speeding tickets. It's one, it's two. It's a little bit annoying,
you know, like like why, like you know, you question

(04:50):
the judgment, the decision making, all that stuff. That's fine,
But when you start to look at Kevin Stefanski's role
in this whole thing, you start to realize he's the
one that's going to be held accountable yet again and
have to answer questions yet again at some point because
he's the guy who's had to do it this entire time.

(05:15):
All that that organization has done is put him in
a bad spot. If you just look at Stefanski's time
with the Cleveland Browns, the fact that he's been Coach
of the Year twice, he should be getting an extension
for the next ten years. This shouldn't even be a

(05:36):
talking point. But Kevin Stefanski, since he's gotten there, they
keep in mind Baker Mayfield. There was some conflicting reports
about whether or not him and Baker Mayfield had some
sort of a falling out or whatnot, that him and
Baker Mayfield had some sort of an issue. But there's
also been some reports that Stefanski had no issue with

(05:57):
moving on with Baker Mayfield, no problem. What's so? But ultimately,
why did that fracture? Why did that fall apart? It
fell apart because after an injury plagued season for Baker Mayfield,
a guy who got you your first playoff win in decades,
after an injury plague season, your owner, the main quote

(06:21):
unquote drunk guy in the car made the decision, Oh,
we want to go out and make a big time move.
We are all in on Deshaun Watson. Baker Mayfield again said,
quarterback who got you your first playoff win in decades, decided, well,
f this I'm out of here. Who's the one that's

(06:45):
going to be held responsible for that. Who's the one
that's going to have to answer for that? Kevin Stefanski.
And of course it was Stefanski who had to deal
with the suspension of Deshaun Watson and all the questions
to come along with it and all this and what
happened with Baker Mayfield and why is he not here anymore?
And blah blah blah blah blah. But don't worry about it, hey, listen.
We know you had to deal with it early on.

(07:06):
We know we're a little bit intoxicated, but trust us,
there's a plan here, and here was the plan. You
got nothing in return for Deshaun Watson so far, and
it doesn't look like you will because whatever you gave
up and whatever you paid, you've not seen the return

(07:26):
because he's either been injured or there's been poor play.
Yet through it all, Stefanski has still somehow gotten this
team to the playoffs. Joe Flacco gets off a couch
with five games left in the season and wins Comeback
Player of the Year. With Stefanski as his head coach.

(07:50):
They go to the postseason, and what does your owner
do again. Yeah, we don't need to sign Joe Flacco.
Let him go to Indy. Well, we got this whole
thing figured out. Okay, So when DeShawn Watson gets injured again,
it's Kevin Stefanski who's got to scramble to try and
come up with some sort of solution at quarterback. Let
me find something. And so then you're thinking, Okay, finally,

(08:14):
now that we have an understanding the John stuff's not
gonna work out. Don't worry about it, everybody, don't worry
about it. We're gonna go out and get your guy.
We are gonna get your guy. We're gonna go out
and get your Flaco. Okay, thank you, thank you. He
was comeback player of the year, I was coach of
the year. This pairing works, and we're gonna have a
full training camp together, a full off season. Yeah, totally, totally, totally,

(08:37):
totally totally. We're also gonna go out and trade for
Kenny Pickett, and then we're gonna draft two quarterbacks, and
one of the quarterbacks that we drafted is gonna be
should Or Sanders in the fifth round, two rounds. After
a developmental quarterback that you liked and before we even
get to training camp. Shadoor Sanders is gonna get popped
for speeding twice. Sweet, Yet it's Stefanski who's got to

(09:04):
sit here and juggle the room full of drunks, dead sober.
He's sitting over there at a high top table while
one of his buddies is torking on a mannequin that
somebody brought in from a department store. And Kevin Stefanski's
sitting over there at a high top table with a

(09:25):
ginger ale, going can we leave? Can we go? Are
we good here? The decision making by the Browns, in
particular at the quarterback position over the past few years
has been mind boggling. And yet Kevin Stefanski is the

(09:47):
designated driver for a car full of drunks at a
drive through at two in the morning. That's the guy
who ultimately is going to be held responsible for every
mess that goes on with the brown Jonas Knox here
Fox Sports Radio, at the Jonas Knocks on X, at
the Jonas Knox on X and by the way, you
can find us on Instagram as well too, at Jonas

(10:09):
Knox Show. I got to give a little bit of
credit here to somebody I didn't think I was going
to give credit to, because this is like when you
get got by a great magician, like you'll have like
these magicians who do some card trick or whatever. They'll
do some ay you know, what's that behind your ear
and they pull out like you know, a bowling pin?

(10:31):
So where'd that come from? How did you do? And
at a certain point you acknowledge yeah, I basically just
got fooled. I was basically made to look stupid. But
a tip of the cap. You almost have to give
a tip of the cap, like, hey man, you got me,
fair play, Good for you. I want to give a

(10:54):
tip of the cap here to somebody I never thought
I would the WNBA. Before you turn off the radio, Okay,
I want to be clear about something I couldn't name
probably more than three teams in the WNBA, Like you
start rattling off team names in the WNBA, and I
don't know if we're talking about like comic book characters

(11:19):
or like, uh, you know something you would find it
like a glitter shop or a Claire Like I don't.
I couldn't. I couldn't do that at all at all.
But I will give the WNBA something, a little bit
of credit that they deserve in this moment, I feel
like they've miagied a lot of us here, right, and

(11:42):
by Miagi, I mean if you remember the movie Karate Kid,
not Cobra Kai, the series that you know has gone
on for forty eight years. But in the original he
can't figure out why Miyagi's had him clean the cars
and paint the fence and do all these things in
his backyard until he goes to practice and he says,

(12:03):
use all those things I told you, wax on, wax off,
paint defense. And then he realized all those are all
defensive tactics. Oh, I just got miyagied. He was teaching
me this entire time. I didn't even know it. And
the WNBA, I think there has done that to a
lot of people, and I'll be honest with you, they've
kind of done it to me. I'm sitting here getting

(12:26):
outraged about teams and players I don't care about, like
I'm looking at it all. By God, the treatment of
Caitlin Clark, what do I care? I don't care. There
are no suspensions from the altercations earlier this week. Why

(12:47):
would there be. I'm finding myself responding to yeah, of course,
why would there be suspended? What do you mean? Yeah,
their treatment of her was unfair. Yet and then you
start to realize, Man, it's working. The All Star voting,
the ratings, like the discussion about it's working. It's becoming

(13:10):
a big time storyline of topic. Now just for the record,
because I want to be again full transparency here, Like
I'm not watching any w NBA game today, not happening.
So if you're wondering whether or not you can get
a recap of WNBA results on my Twitter feed tomorrow,
that won't happen because I won't be partaking. Okay, I

(13:33):
still have a life, but I'll give them credit for this.
When the storylines pop up, I'm interested. I find myself
wanting Okay, so what's the outrage here? What is the
outrage here? Two weeks ago, three weeks ago, I'm thinking
to myself, Oh, it's all you know, everything's about race

(13:53):
and gender and all these other things that people like
you listen you turn on sports. You don't want to
hear about that crap. You just don't. You just want
to watch sports, guy, girl doesn't matter, it doesn't. You
just want to watch sports. You just want to be
entertained by the sporting event, to get away from all
the chaos that's going on in the world. And yet

(14:13):
you see how she's treated by players, by other players
in the league. You see the debates and the discussions
that are being had. You see the fact that there
is no suspendion. I'm like, oh, why would there be?
And it's working. So I'll give a tip of the
cap and some credit to the WNBA. You have miagied

(14:35):
a lot of people into caring at least just a
little bit about your sport because you're handling of it,
and your handling of your sports superstar should be questioned.
But the results as of right now, Congratulations, Congratulations, it
has worked to some extent. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports

this two hour extravaganza. But somebody has finally returned a

(15:19):
Borderlon Hall of Famer, one of the greatest to ever
do it has finally returned. But at the same time,
the people who brought them back should be called out.
I'll tell you who they are right here on FSR.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. Coming up, we'll call it
about ten minutes from now here. We are all missing
something in the world of football. We're all missing something,
all right, I especially miss this thing, this one thing
in the world of football. I'll explain what it is

(16:15):
again coming up here in about ten minutes from now.
So this is just tremendous stuff. Tremendous stuff. Now, depending
on where you fall in, how much you care about
performance enhancing drugs and their impact on sports and whatnot,
like that's listed a little beside the point here, all right,

(16:38):
a little beside the point here. This is all about
acknowledgment that you had knowledge. Okay, because yesterday, for the
first time in twenty one years, Sammy Sosa returned to
Wrigley Field. I mean, that feels like a long time

(17:02):
for a guy who did a lot for an organization.
But I think we all know maybe why he had
not been back for twenty one years, or at least
what the reason we are given now. It's been said
that the Cubs organization wanted some sort of an apology,

(17:24):
if you will, or something for Sammy Sosa's usage potentially
of performance enhancing drugs back in the day, because that's
been one of those rumors. He's never technically pissed hot
from my understanding, but you know, the speculation has always
been there that he was one of those guys who
was on the gas. And so because of that, the

(17:46):
Cubs feel like, well, you owe it to us, and
you owe it to baseball to at least acknowledge the
part that you took and the role that you played
in this whole scandal. And so Sammy Sosa returned to
something called Cubs fan Fest or Cubs convention a few

(18:08):
months back before the season, and in welcoming him back,
he gave the following quote at the time, quote, there
were times I did whatever I could to recover from
injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to
perform over one hundred and sixty two games. I never
broke any laws, but in hindsight, I made mistakes, and
I apologize. That was good enough for the Cubs to

(18:33):
finally welcome him back and for him to finally show
up for the first time in over two decades to
Wrigley Field. So I would like to ask the Chicago
Cubs a question as well, too. Are you going to apologize?
Will you also apologize? Will you acknowledge maybe some of
the mistakes you made as well too? Are you going

(18:56):
to give back any of those wins? Or more importantly,
are you going to give back any of the money
you made on Sammy Sosa and his performance all those
years in Chicago? Will you give some of that money
back or maybe all of it? I mean, if you
felt if you were so outraged and you felt so

(19:19):
wronged and duped by this guy for potentially taking performance
enhancing drugs when he was playing with the g if
you were so duped by everything, I mean, since you're
so sure it happened, I'm assuming you'd be open to
giving all that money back, right, anybody been to Wrigley
Field lately? Anybody been out there lately or been around Wrigleyville. Boy,

(19:44):
sure seems like it's thriving, you know. Sure seems like
there's a lot going on there. There's a lot of
sponsorships and buildings, etc. Like all these different things that
are happening there. I'm just wondering, are we going to
maybe acknowledge that we might have had some knowledge of

(20:07):
what was going on? Are we gonna pretend like we
all didn't think something was up back then with some
of those players. Really, I watched it, I was there.
You need to tell me people didn't kind of realize, Hey,
you know what, this seems seems a bit inflated. It's awesome,

(20:29):
it's fun, but it seems inflated. I got news for you.
I wasn't turning off the TV. That wasn't happening. I
went to Cubs games back then. I was at Wrigley
Field back then. I didn't feel the least bit guilty,
And I was pretty certain that there were some guys
that were on the gas. I didn't feel the least

(20:49):
bit guilty about it at all whatsoever. Like like we
had a dog named Sammy. It's like my mom's favorite player.
I remember having a conversation with my mom. You know, mom,
he looks a lot bigger than he did when they
first got him from the White Sox. Looks a little

(21:11):
you know, when they got him when he was playing
in Chicago for the White Sox. He just he looked
significantly bigger. I don't know if you were, you were
aware of that. Yeah, so what it's fun. Yet the
Cubs organization demanded an apology, or else you were not
going to be allowed back. Oh, we need some We
need him to at least address the issue, or else

(21:33):
he's not allowed back here. Okay, then how about you
address the issue. Give some of that money back, give
some of what you got out of that, because it
wasn't just a one sided situation. It wasn't just a
one sided scenario where Sammy Sosa was thriving and nobody
else was because he was on the gas. That guy

(21:55):
was on gear. Oh, there were a lot of people
that were doing that. But after the fact, we want
to hold people accountable. No, no, no, you got to
be held Okay, and listen, however you feel about it.
It's bad for the sport. It's a bad look for
the sport man if there's a lot of people who
got a lot from that era, not just the guys

(22:17):
who were pissing hot or even the guys who didn't
even test positive. There was a lot of people who
got a lot from that era. To sit here and
try and condemn somebody and say I demand this, I
need this, I need that or elch, you're not welcome back.
Are you out of here? Are we serious? Serious? Like

(22:39):
we feel so misled, how we were wronged? How could
this the Cubs demanding an apology from Sammy Sosa is
like my kid demanding an apology when he's older for
finding out that the tooth fairy isn't real. Like if
my son came up to me and said you and

(23:00):
mom owed me an apology and until then, I'm not
coming back to see you. What for what happened? I
just found out the tooth fairy isn't real. If my
son pulled that with me, I'd literally hire somebody to
rob him at gunpoint. Oh oh, we're the a holes

(23:21):
for siding a couple of bucks in a ziploc bag
after you lost your teeth. We couldn't let you walk
around looking like a jack lantern for the next six
months and got nothing to show for it. Oh but
we're the a holes. Okay, but the whole thing is comical.

(23:43):
Welcome back, everybody. Did you see the fans at Wrigley Field?
Did anybody at Wrigley Field boot? No, because everybody knows
twenty one years. It's like, dude, why was he raked
over the coals for that long? Why for what? Like,
we're all just gonna play stupid. We did no idea,

(24:04):
no idea. Oh my god, now that we know, Okay,
give the money back. Give whatever you made on Samy
Sosa merchandise, give it back, Donate it to a charity.
You know, like what like all of it. Yeah, it's
the same thing when your kids get older and maybe

(24:25):
they find out some stuff wasn't real that you told
them was real when they were kids, and they got
a problem with it. Okay, give us back all that stuff,
give us a back, come on, hand it all back.
Twenty one years it took for them to welcome maybe
the greatest player in the history of the franchise back
until he apologized. Okay, where's the apology from you? At

(24:50):
the Jonas Knox on X at the Jonas Knox on X.

next on FSR. But for all the latest from around
the world of sports, ladies and gentlemen, make some noise

(25:32):
for the magnificent and prestigious, the one and only Sir
Isaac Longcrown.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
I think those collaps could have been a little more enthusiastic.
I mean, this is not this is not the eighteenth
Koreen at Augusta. I mean it's more like what the
Phoenix opant or the waist Man there you go. That's
what I'm talking about. Let's check in, speaking of the Cup,
on how they're doing right now. Jonas bottom of the
first inning at Wrigley. They already lead the Seattle Mariners

(26:05):
two to nothing. Ian hap let off the bottom of
the first inning with his tenth home run of the season.
He's now homered in three straight games. Kyle Tucker then
made it back to back home runs. He now has
fourteen on the season. Speaking of home runs, the New
York Yankees have three. They lead the Oriels six to
nothing after four Trent grisham Is fifteenth, JC Escara his

(26:25):
second of the season. He hit it into the second
deck in right field, and then Ben Rice hit his
thirteenth home run. The Cardinals up two to nothing over
the Cincinnati Reds at the top of the second inning
on a two run home run by Saint Louis's Alec Burlison.
He now has eight home runs on the season. The
Tampa Bay Rays up eight to three over the Detroit
Tigers in the top of the ninth inning, and the

(26:46):
Milwaukee Brewers a two to nothing lead at Minnesota in
the bottom of the first inning. Finally, Jonas the back
to back Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers are holding their
exit interviews with the media today in advance up to
tomorrow's Stanley Cup parade. At a short time ago, Panthers
head coach Paul Maurice vowed to keep his speech at

(27:06):
tomorrow's parade PG rated after last year he dropped.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Not one, not two, not three, not four.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
But five F bombs during his speech at last year's
Stanley Cup championship parade and also said, and I quote,
my wife has been married to an a hole for
the last thirty years. Unquote and related story, my wife
has been married to an a hole for the last
eleven years.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Jonas back to you, well, happy anniversary to the lucky couple.
By the way, what are you supposed to do at
a championship parade.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
You're supposed to you're supposed to you're supposed to swear,
and you're supposed to consume a lot of beverages because
of the hot South Florida temperatures.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
I mean, you remember Jack Flaherty last year trying to
sit in a chair at Dodger Stadium. He was doing
an interview on television and they asked him to sit
down after he'd been boozing on his you know, parade
float for however long, and he looked like his like
his body had been hijacked by aliens and they were
using they were like using a drone to instruct him

(28:12):
where to go. He was annihilated. That's those are championship
parade You're supposed to do that.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
And I would say that he would be the least
impaired player at a Stanley Cup championship parade. I think
the standards are a bit higher or lower, as evidenced
by Alex Ovechkin's.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Speech a few years Yeah, that was the best he got.
He got ripped in half, like yeah, that's look, I mean,
this is this is how you're supposed to do it.
They get an opportunity. Remember j R. Smith basically went
on tour without a shirt. I remember he just oh
that was that nice? Yeah, that was that night. Yeah.
They just took off to Vegas after they beat the
Warriors in twenty sixteen, and Jr. Smith just didn't wear

(28:53):
a shirt the entire time. I think that's his basketball
shorts with no shirt the entire time. That's the only
time I've ever seen a championship winning team that won
the championship on the road, declined to go directly back
home instead stopping somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
Albeit it was Las Vegas and it was on the way.
But that's the only time I can remember championship team
doing that.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Well, I mean, because Lebron cares about Cleveland. Man who
cares about Ohio? I guess? I mean, you know, come on,
everybody knows that. All right, Thank you, ILove. It is
a Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio, by the way,
coming up, and we'll call it ten minutes from now.
We are going to have a Saturday tradition here on
the show. It is another edition of do You Care?
That'll be yours here on FSR. Something has occurred to

(29:35):
me in particular over the last few months. I really
miss college football, really like I really miss it a lot,
a lot. I didn't realize how much I missed it.
I know what you're thinking, like, well, this is it's
always this time of year. You know, you're just like
kind of the dead period. College football is going to
kick off, you know, late August. The thing. It's like, man,

(29:58):
it's not that much longer. Like you've gotten gotten this far,
you can go another two months right, like, it's not
that big of No. No, I don't mean it like that.
I mean just like college football. You know what it
was actually about college football? I missed that stuff. Like
yesterday the story came out that Wisconsin is suing Miami
for tampering with a football transfer. It's like, oh, okay,
so that's that's the next layer and level to all this. Gotcha, okay,

(30:22):
because if it's not this, it's you know, conference realignment,
or it's the expanded college football playoffs, or it's the
automatic qualifying bids, or it's the transfer portal, or it's
nil or it's what I just I'll be honest, I
just miss college football. How about that. I can't. I'm
exhausted by all the legal terms and language and violations

(30:49):
and tampering and automatic qualifying bids and conference commissioners and
this blowhard said this, and that blowhard said this, and
this coach said that. I just it's like a constant
cycle of lies, drama, violations, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

(31:11):
I just can we just play college football? Can we
just like watch the games? Can we just do that
or at least talk about what the season is going
to look like, Hey, which team do they? But instead
it's this, And I'm and look, I get it, well,
this is part of the new college football adapt or die.
Totally understand, Totally understand, But you mean to tell me

(31:36):
that even people who follow college football, who cover college football,
who do this for a living, you mean to tell
me they're not exhausted with the constant storyline being this.
It's not about Hey, which team is a sleeper in
the ACC. In fact, the only coverage the ACC has
gotten this year outside of this suing situation, outside of

(32:01):
Wisconsin suing Miami, the only coverage the ACC's gotten this
year is whether or not Bill Belichick and his twenty
four year old girlfriend are taking over the university. Like
it is, like the whole thing, the whole sport has
completely changed to the point that I think a lot
of people are exhausted with it. And I've talked about

(32:22):
this before. I think people when it comes to the
automatic qualifiers and the college football player, I think there's
a lot of people who are fed up and annoyed
and worn out with the constant discussion, the constant transfer portal. Nil.
I look, I understand it's now here, but It also

(32:45):
feels like this is a lot of stuff that they
could have had buttoned up from the get go, and
instead they jumped the gun. They started letting payers getting
played or letting players getting paid. They started the nil process.
They start, and nobody thought ahead to realize, Yeah, maybe
this isn't a great idea. You got Lenora Sellers talking
earlier this week, him and his dad saying, yeah, there

(33:06):
was a school out there that offered it us two
years eight million dollars to transfer. It's like, okay, is
that even true? Like not, And this isn't a knock
on Lenora Sellers, like he wanted to stay at South Carolina.
Everybody loves the guy. You know, he's a potential Heisman
Trophy winner, first round draftick. It's not a knock on
Lenora Sellers. But you don't know what to believe anymore

(33:29):
in college football, Like you don't know whether the reports
are treat you got fake agents, you got I just
missed college football and I can't wait for actual college
football to return. That's it at the Jonas knocks on
x at Jonas Knockshaw on Instagram. Coming up next here though,

Speaker 2 (35:04):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.
DMG reports. 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 1 (35:20):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
Patrick sweet And to find out what the hell we miss? Pat?

Speaker 6 (35:26):
All right, well, Jonas, I'll tell you what we care
about or not care about today. So Jonas, Kevin Durant
has made the headlines, but it's not for NBA guys.
It's because he bought a minority steak in Paris Saint Germain.
Do you care, Jonas, Oh no, definitely not.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
I don't care. I just this means nothing to me.
Paris Saint Germain. Is that a Is that a sparkling
water or something? I don't know?

Speaker 6 (35:51):
A soccer team?

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Oh? Who's sweet? I don't care. So you know, a
wealthy guy is gonna accumulate more wealth. Good for Kevin Durant.
A big fan of Kevin Durant. It seems like the
end is near when it comes to his career, which
is unfortunate. He's a great player, but I don't know
how much time he has left. He's now what thirty five,
thirty six years old, He's now all of a sudden

(36:14):
finding himself in trade stories and rumors. Again, a very
weird career for Kevin Durant, but one of the all
time greats, especially in this era. And now apparently he's
going to be a soccer owner. Sweet Next.

Speaker 6 (36:26):
Well, speaking of ownership, Jonas, do you care that Genie
Bus and the Bus family have now sold the Lakers
the majority that they own of the Lakers for ten
billion dollars to Mark Walter, who also owns the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Do you care?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:43):
I guess. I mean, look, it's awesome, But the real
telltale sign of this being a big change is what
happens now. Because Mark Walter has done great things with
the Dodgers. You've obviously seen what that organization has turned into,
what Dodger Stadium has turned in into. I'm curious to
see what the first fingerprints are going to look like

(37:06):
now on the Lakers after this move. That's what I'm
caring about next.

Speaker 6 (37:09):
All right, Well, we're gonna stay with the NBA on
this one, Jonas. So Warriors guard Brandon Podjemski, I hope
I'm saying that, right, he trolled Kitlin Clark. Actually at
a w NBA game, he was on the court. She
was called for traveling against the Fevers the Valkyries game,
and after the traveling call, he was on court running
around doing the traveling motion right next to her.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Do you care? No, No, I don't care about this ze.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Look.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
I mean, let's not get carried away here. Just because
I said I care a little bit more about the
WNBA than I did like two weeks ago, it doesn't
mean I care about this man. You know, I get
ridiculous here. Let's not get greedy WNBA fans. Next. All right, Jonas?

Speaker 6 (37:50):
Well, all right, well I got another one for It's
not NBA, it's we're gonna go a little weird here.
So in the Czech Republic, Jonas, apparently a family of
three was arrested for what running a fake dental clinic
for patients, and they all now face up to eight years.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Do you care? Yeah, I mean eight years for what
you know how much money they probably save people. I mean,
you know, their smiles might have been a little jacked up,
and maybe there were some infections that took place, but
I mean there are some medical and dental procedures that
I feel like we could probably do it home, you
know what I mean? Like, I feel like we could probably.
It's like you could look up any recipe you want

(38:29):
right now. If you want to make anything, you could
look it up online. I feel like if you just
looked around long enough, you could probably figure out how
to do this. Like, not everybody wants to hire somebody
to build their house. Sometimes people want to get their
hands dirty themselves or trust the people next to them
to do it. Look, I think this is great for
small businesses, and I think it's an outrage that they
should be punished for this long for having a fake

(38:51):
dental clinic. Do we have any results? Is there like
a website that's got some of the smile before and
after smiles, like you get it a regular dental office.

Speaker 6 (38:59):
Or no, No, I didn't see that, But from what
I heard is it was a potential like endangerment type charges,
so it may not have been great.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Hey, look, remember Dufrain, he was like an accountant or
whatever he was before he went to prison, and he
did everybody's taxes after a while when he got in there.
So maybe now all of a sudden, you know this
this correctional facility. He's got some new dentis in the building.
There's some guy there. You know, he's got a you know,
he's got a spider web tattoo on his face, and
he's got this moler that's been killing him. Now he's

(39:28):
got you know, his cellmate can get that fixed for
him next.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
All right, Jonas, do you care that there was a
loose and a live chicken rescued from a buffalo wild
wings in Iowa? And why do I blame Iowa Sam
for this summer?

Speaker 1 (39:42):
I mean you should blame Iowa Sam. He's a terrible person.
Some would call him a scumbag. I mean that wouldn't
be me or just somebody else. But look, the only
thing disturbing about this is that it's a Buffalo wild wings.
Because you imagine you're you're sitting there with a plate
full of wings and a beer in front of you,
and you go to take a bite out of a
nice drum at and a chicken walks out from behind

(40:04):
the kitchen. Like that is disturbing on all levels for
everybody involved. We got some juicy quarterback storylines heading in
the next season in the NFL. Maybe some that people
haven't thought about. We'll get into that for you coming
up here in just a couple of moments from now,
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to. This

(40:25):
show is always on the iHeartRadio app. You can find
us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country. Wherever
you are making us a part of your Saturday afternoon,
we appreciate it. We are going to take you all
the way up until four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific,
until the end of this hour here on FSR. And
we were talking about this to open up the show

(40:47):
that I find it and I don't know feel bad
is the right term, because listen, he's made millions and
you know whatever. But I kind of find myself having
some sympathy for Kevin Stefanski because ultimately, he's the sober
guy in a room full of drunks, Like he's the
one who's got to answer for an organization that has
made goofy decisions at quarterback over the last few years,

(41:11):
just goofy decisions, I mean, you know, moving on from
Baker Mayfield to try and get to Sean Watson to
Joe Flacco being there and then letting him walk, and
then Watson getting injured, and then you know, finally they
bring Joe Flacco back, but not before they trade for
Kenny Pickett, and then you draft Dylan Gabriel and then
two rounds later you draft should Or Sanders, like just

(41:33):
the whole thing, and ultimately, Kevin Stefanski's going to be
the guy who's got to wear it. And anytime should
Or Sanders has some sort of an issue pop up,
whether it's the two speeding tickets or what like, anytime
there's a quarterback storyline that has to pop up, Kevin
Stefanski's the guy who's ultimately going to be asked about it.

(41:56):
And it's like, dude, he it wasn't him who made
the decision to sign Deshaun Watson and give all that
money to Deshaun Watson. It wasn't him, according to reports,
even though him and Baker Mayfield may had had some
sort of tension behind the scenes, according to reports, Kevin

(42:17):
Stefanski was ready to move forward with Baker Mayfield. There
wasn't a problem like that was We'll just move forward,
went to the postseason together, went to the playoffs. Baker
Mayfield was banged up, his final year, But that was
Jimmy Haslam and that was the ownership. Kevin Stefanski had
answer for that. Okay. Then Deshaun Watson is in and

(42:37):
out of the lineup because of injuries, and then he
brings in Joe Flacco, and Joe Flacco performs well, when's
comeback player of the Year. They go to the playoffs,
and then the very next off season, now we're going
to move on from Joe Flacco. Okay, Kevin Stefanski's gotta
wear it. And then finally they bring Flacco back because
Deshaun Watson's going to be out most likely for the
entirety of this season as well too. Again, something Kevin

(43:00):
Stebanski's had to talk about, right, Jimmy Asam hasn't really
had to talk about it much. Made a couple of
comments here or there at an owner's meeting. But and
so they go out, They finally signed Joe Flacco, they
bring him back, you know he's reading not finally they
have a whole offseason together. And how do the Browns
follow that up? They trade for Kenny Pickett, They draft
Dylan Gabriel, then they draft Shad Or Sanders in the

(43:22):
same draft. It's like, dude, what are we doing here?

Speaker 6 (43:25):
Then?

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Should Or has got two speeding tickets and it's like, well,
you know, it's not that big of a deal. And
I saw I you know, people have kicked this question
around before. Well you know, what does this do to
Shoudroor Sanders is standing with the team? Like what does
this do to their depth chart? Like it is he

(43:46):
at risk of getting cut now because of the two
speeding tickets. It would be hilarious if the speeding tickets
were the unforgiving move that the Browns weren't willing to
like that, like that was the unforgiving offense that the

(44:09):
Browns could not tolerate anymore. Guy got two speeding tickets.
We can't accept this. He's out of here. Oh yeah,
what about Deshaun Watson's stuff? Nonna, but listen, driving one
on one into sixty's that's serious stuff here. Okay, what
about the Deshaun Watson stuff? You're okay with that though? Right?

(44:31):
Like that everything was fine with that, Like to reward that,
you're okay with that? Yeah, but you know what this
is twice that he's got over the speed limit. Right,
he wasn't drinking. Nobody was hurt. But this is now
twice that he's done this. Yeah, what about like the
seventy five different accusations against Deshaun Watson? What about all that?

(44:54):
What about that we're gonna yeah, but yeah, but he
wasn't speeding, Ah, got it? Okay? I just I just
want to know, like what, which which one is the
unforgiving crime? Okay, like like like which is the one?
I just want to know? I just I just want
to know which is the one that you absolutely cannot
handle and you cannot be around or tolerate within your organization.

(45:16):
I just want to know which one. I just want
to know, like which offense is the worst? That's all
I want to know. So it would be hilarious if
the Browns did step up and say enough's enough. This
guy's got to go. Two times is too many? Humph?
All right? What about twenty four? It's twenty four too many?
Or now? Okay? All right, just curious, just wonder how

(45:38):
that works at the Jonas Knocks on X at the
Jonas Knocks On X and again you can find me
on Instagram at Jonas knock Show. All right, So, speaking
of quarterbacks and speaking of things to kind of monitor
and look at when it comes to the quarterback position.

(45:59):
Sam Darnold did an interview with The Athletic recently with
Mike Silver of the Athletic, and he was talking about,
you know, just his time in Minnesota and how things ended,
because basically the summary on Sam Donald's career in Minnesota
was he was given an opportunity to start. He played

(46:19):
fantastic except for those last two games, which just so
happened to be the most important games of the season.
So he had the season finale, he had the playoff game.
So the Lions and the Rams both cost Sam Donald
a lot of money. A lot of money. I mean,

(46:40):
he still got a nice contract from Seattle. But if
he finishes out strong in against the Lions and then
against the Rams as well too, whatever would happen after that.
If they beat the Rams, if they beat whatever happens
after that, Sam Donald's getting paid, and maybe Minnesota doesn't
move on from him. Maybe Minnesota says, look, we don't

(47:01):
know what we have in JJ McCarthy, but we know
it works with Sam Darnold. Let's move in a different direction.
Those two games cost him a ton of money and
probably changed the course of his history. And there's been
some reports that have come out of training camp in Seattle,
some stuff out there that maybe he's kind of struggled
a little bit. You know, they might be struggling a

(47:23):
little bit. And what's fascinating about this? And we're not
going to get to see it play out on the field,
which is a shame. Which goes back to something I've
always said that the NFL should at least a couple
of games here or there, should be able to maybe
throw in a matchup that wasn't previously on the schedule,

(47:44):
not in season, but before the year, you know, a
couple months before the year, after all the dust settles
from free agency and all that stuff. Based on a storyline,
let's put some teams together. I would love to see
Seahawks Raiders this year. And listen, I know they're playing
in the preseason game, they're playing in the opener, but
I would love to see Seattle in Las Vegas play

(48:07):
this year because the Seattle Seahawks basically chose Sam Donald
over Geno Smith, and the Las Vegas Raiders basically chose
Geno Smith over Sam Darnold because, according to that same

(48:32):
article in The Athletic from Mike Silver. Tom Brady was
against the Raiders signing Sam Donald. He didn't like the idea.
I have no idea whether or not that was from
his experience going against Sam Donald in New York when
he was with the Jets. I have no idea why.

(48:54):
But you've basically got two organizations who chose one player
over the other. I just want to know who's right.
That's it. I just want to know how this is
going to work out. I want to know how this
is going to turn out because I just get this

(49:14):
feeling because I've asked this question before. What's really the
difference between Geno Smith and Sam Darnold other than the obvious,
you know, like other than the obvious? And look, I
mean it's radio. I could lie to you and say,
you know, one is this, one is that? But you know,
I think we all know. But other than the obvious, like,
what's the difference? And Seattle kind of got this thing

(49:38):
going in motion because they were unwilling to work with
Geno Smith on a deal and apparently he wasn't happy
with maybe how things were going there. And it's not
like he had a great year. It's not like Geno
Smith had this You know incredible year that he has
had in previous years in Seattle, where he's really revitalized
his career. But Seattle and him couldn't come to terms,

(50:00):
couldn't get together on some sort of a deal. And
so he goes. He decides, all right, listen, this isn't working.
They trade him to Las Vegas. They chose not to
be a part of the Geno Smith world anymore, and
they welcomed in Sam Darnold. And I think there were
probably some people maybe a little surprised by it. And

(50:22):
I just want to know who's going to be right,
because everybody's focused on the Aaron Rodgers versus Justin Field
stuff in week one and I got you like, that's
all sorts of juicy and there's all sorts of storylines there.
But tell me you don't think Pete Carroll would have
a red ass to face his former team in Seattle.

(50:45):
Like Pete Carroll didn't want to give up on coaching.
He he don't want to stop coaching, but it was time.
It was time to give somebody else an opportunity. If
Pete Carroll was ready to walk away from coaching, why
was he back? Why did he interview you know what
I mean, Like, what was Pete Carroll did? Like if
Geno Smith really knew that Pete Carroll was done with coaching,

(51:08):
why were they communicating last year? Why were they having conversations?
Why were they having dialogue? Like there was a battle
under the battle that was going on. And just to
see how those two worlds have come together where you
had one team say we want Sam Donald over Geno
Smith and the other team saying we want Geno Smith

(51:28):
over Sam Donald. I'm just telling you it's too bad
we don't get that in the regular season. Instead, we're
gonna get it for preseason game number one, and even
then it's interesting. It'd be even more so though, if
it was a game that actually mattered at the Jonas
Knocks on X at the Jonas Knox on X and
you can hang out with us as always on the
iHeartRadio app. By the way, you can find us on
Instagram at Jonas Knox Show as well too. Up next though,

(51:52):
believe it or not, somebody in the world of sports,
they're right. You may may not like it, and you
may not like him, but he's right. I'll tell you
who that is here on FSR.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
All right, First off, Jonas Knox can suck it Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio, by the way, Coming up in we'll
call it a little over ten minutes from now, we
are going to tell you about something that, now that

(52:29):
we have all the information, was done from the get go,
almost immediately it had no chance of working.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
In the world of sports. We'll explain what that is
and who it involves. Coming up here again about ten
minutes from now here on FSR. A lot of positive
feedback here on the show. People really fired up about
what we've done here on this beautiful Saturday, real positive
stuff coming in. Nothing but kind folks listening into the show,

(53:02):
like Adam, who writes in take Otani's used bleep out
of your mouth. I can hardly hear you. I don't
know how you have a job. No one gives a
bleep about your piece of bleep takes. I hope you
get lost on your naked bleep femboy hyahuasca trip with
your boy toy. Aaron Rodgers, you piss ant, JC writes in,

(53:31):
holy s Jony, you're still spitting on a microphone. FSR
probably has to keep your effing dumbass employed under a
bleep action rule. It probably says that they have to
have at least one mentally bleeped addict. Do you like
to tongue bleep men's asses? Rob rights in Judas, the

(54:02):
Fakers and Dodgers Bleepsucker can now bleep it out to
your new primo Lord Mark Walter in your half Fakers, Dodgers,
Onesie Yelling Dynasty for my two best teams in the world,
only to be followed up by Brian who writes, hey, bleep,

(54:27):
get back to being outraged about your Princess Courtney Clark
being picked on and how outrageous it is, and you'll
boycott your beloved women's hoops if it doesn't stop in
your fever speedo you bleepy at the Jonas Knox on X.

(54:51):
I will post the unedited versions of all of those
at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram. Did we get dumped? Chris?
Did I go too far on reading some of those?
Was there any dumping that took place? Your dump count
for today is one? Really? Yeah? For what? Well? If
I said it, I would have to dump it again.
Well was it? Was it one of those tweets that

(55:13):
I read? Yeah, it was borderline. I'm just playing it safe. Listen, No, listen,
I don't play any better safe than sorry. Well, for
those of you that could not hear that because it
was dumped, don't worry. You'll see everything unedited on Instagram. Here.
We will have those posted up there at some point
before the end of the show at Jonas Knackshaw on Instagram.

(55:34):
That is, at Jonahs Knockshaw on Instagrams where you can
find all that fun stuff. It's just it's amazing. All Right,
I'm gonna do something that I know this is gonna
I'm gonna be in the minority on this. There are
a lot of people who did not like this comment.

(55:55):
It is still resonating for some reason. I mean, it
took place days and days ago, and for some reason,
people are still upset about it. Okay, they're still upset
about it. And I'm going to defend somebody that I
know a lot of people don't want to defend. Right now,
I'm going to defend Lebron James. Now for those of
you that have not heard this, just for the sake

(56:19):
of understanding of what exactly it is that we're talking
about here, Lebron James was on his Mind the Game
podcast with Steve Nash earlier this week, and he had
this to say about quote unquote ring culture in the NBA.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
It's funny. I don't know. I don't know why I've
discussed so much in our sport, and why is the
all be all of everything. You sit here and you
tell me, you know, Alan Iverson and Charles Barkley and
Steve Nash, you know, you know, wasn't unbelievable, like, oh,

(56:56):
they can't be talked about or discussed with these guys.
Is because this guy one to one ring or one
two rings or one like it. It's just weird to me.
It's like Sam Peyton Manning can't be in the same
room with Brady or Mahomes because he only has one ring.
They don't never discuss that in they sport. Or telling
me that Dann Marino is not the greatest slinger of
all time, or he can't be in a room with

(57:18):
those guys because he didn't win a championship. They don't
discuss those things.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Now, he's a hypocrite, he is. Lebron James is a hypocrite,
you know what else he is? He's also right, that's true.
It is a weird thing that is done in particular.

(57:44):
It's really prevalent in the NBA. It's a weird thing
that's done. You almost diminish or look down upon somebody's
career based on the number of rings they have. It's weird.
I've never totally understand it. I mean, I kind of
get the wellist and so and so's won this mini time.

(58:05):
It's the most important team aspect in sports, the most
important team aspect. But there's also a lot of things
that have to go your way and a lot of
things that have to go in your favor to win
a championship. There are a lot of stuff that has
to happen. You're gonna see whoever wins the title on
Sunday Night, whether it's OKC or Indiana. You can go

(58:28):
back to moments during the course of the playoffs that
had that moment not happened by a fraction of an inch,
the outcomes completely different. That's the playoffs in every single sport.
You could go safer. For example, Indiana wins the title.
Say the Pacers win the title, they go on the
road game seven Sunday night, they win the title, they

(58:51):
beat the Thunder. You're gonna go back to the Tyrese
Halliburton shot against what Milwaukee. You want to go back
to the one against the n You go back to
that shot, You go back to the game one against OKC,
And all of a sudden, if that goes the other way,
we're talking a fraction of an inch. We're talking Tyrese Halliburton.

(59:14):
That shot against the Knicks bounces up in the air
and rattles out still like we're talking a quarter of
an inch goes in the other direction, and it's completely
different discussion. Maybe Indiana doesn't win that series. Like, there's
all sorts of stuff that has to happen in life
in general, just the right way at the right time

(59:38):
for you to end up where you are. It could
like somebody you meet, a job you had, just think
about everything that happened just in that day, let alone
your life to put you in position for that moment.
And because you went right instead of left, because you
went straight instead of back, because you went this way
instead of that way, because you talked to one person
for five minutes instead of six minutes, all sorts of

(01:00:01):
stuff happens. And it's weird that when it comes to sports,
especially in the NBA, all that we do is base
everything on the end result. We don't talk about all
the stuff that it took to get to that result.
It's all the counting, it's all the end result. Oh well,
the end result is you know, how many rings do
you have? Really?

Speaker 6 (01:00:21):
Like that?

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
That's what. Here's something that maybe some people should try
on from time to time. What is your eye tell you?
What is your eye test? All right? They do this
when they're when they're voting for who should be ranked
higher in college football or college basketball? What is your
eye test? Here's what my eye test tells me. I
know who I watch and who I've seen that I

(01:00:43):
consider to be the greatest of all time. All right,
I don't need to necessarily look at rings. I don't
need to. Jordan is a bit of an outlier in
the sense that Jordan does have more rings than Lebron.
But you can make an argument if you'd like for
Lebron to be the better player, and some people have
and those are all valid arguments, all of it. You can.

(01:01:04):
But the people that give you the take of well,
Lebron's got six rings and all be all, it's like, okay, well,
or Jordan's got six rings and all be all. It's like, okay, well, listen,
Jordan also lost several times in the postseason. Jordan's also
been the less finals than Lebron, Like, we could do
this game all we want, but Lebron's right. The fact
that we base our opinions on just rings or who's

(01:01:27):
got the most titles for some reason, that's accepted, for
some reason, we've just followed along with that, and it's
most prevalent in the NBA. But he brings up NFL examples. Man,
anybody who watched Dan Marino play, how could you not
how could you argue against the Dan Marino's one of
the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but he's dismissed because

(01:01:48):
he never won a Super Bowl. It's like, man, he's
one player on a team that could never maybe find
the right defense to surround him with, Maybe couldn't find
the right running game to surround him with. Maybe there
were all sorts of things that had to happen for
Dan Marino to win a Super Bowl that didn't happen.
You could go back to Tom Brady's career and say, man,

(01:02:10):
all those super Bowls that Tom Brady won, Man, there
was a lot of close calls. There was a lot
of things that probably should have gone the other way
as far as penalties, whether the Tuck rule whatever, like,
there's a lot of things that had to happen just
right for Brady to be in a position to succeed.
It doesn't make him lucky, it doesn't diminish any of
those It just makes the conversation more nuanced than a

(01:02:32):
simple black and white discussion of do you have rings
or do you not? Because if you don't have rings,
you don't qualify for the discussion. That's kind of lazy,
if I'm being honest. So we could sit here and
call Lebron a hypocrite because he was ring chasing and
all that. I totally listen. I'm with you, but I'm
also with Lebron. It's not the end all be all.
It shouldn't be the end all be all of who's
the best and who's the greatest of all time? And

(01:02:54):
for some reason it's been running rampant for years and years.
I don't subscribe to it, but there's a lot of
people who do. To me, I need a little bit
more nuanced with my discussions. And for the ring chasers
and the people that just go rings alone, is their
only argument. I'm sorry, man, Lebron's right in this case
at the Jonas knocks on X, at the Jonas knock

(01:03:14):
On X and you can hang out with us as
always on Instagram at Jonas Knock show up next, though,
I mean, upon further review, just a terrible, terrible idea.
This did not work and it was dead from the
get go. We'll get into that for you in the
NFL coming up here in just a couple of moments
from now for all the latest, though, welcome in the
Magnificent the one and Only, Sir Isaac Long.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
I got to admit, Jonas, and I'm not exaggerating at all,
I think today might have been the strongest crop of
at Jonas Knock's tweets by your beloved fans.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Oh, it's great, that's great.

Speaker 5 (01:03:57):
I think this is the first time ever that the
dump button has had to be employed because of one
of the tweets from your beloved devoted listenership.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Yeah, people were really happy about the term piss ant
being used. They hadn't heard that in a long time, neither.
When's last time you heard piss ant be used? Not
since Police Academy four in nineteen eighty seven by Captain Harris,
you piss ant like, I don't even know what that means.
I don't even know what it means either, Patrick. Can

(01:04:27):
you look up what piss ant means? Please? Were you?

Speaker 5 (01:04:30):
Were you a fan of the Police Academy movies? I
don't remember word for word, but I do remember the characters.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
Okay, they were great.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
I'm just stalling to try and tamp down my rage. Here.

Speaker 5 (01:04:43):
I've got good news and bad news. The good news
is the New York Yankees pitcher Clark Schmidt had a
no hitter going through seven innings today against the Baltimore
Orioles with the Yankees leading the game nine to nothing.
The bad news is they just took him out. Ching
a no hitter through seven innings. He was at one
hundred and three pitches. Welcome to life in modern Major

(01:05:05):
League baseball, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
So what do you want him to do? Isaac? You
wanted to leave him out there for one hundred and
fifty pitches and the guy walks back and he's just
a salami for an arm Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Nolan Ryan would throw a one hundred and fifty pitches
minimum every time out, and you know, then in between
he would be wearing his wrangler jeans all the time
working on the ranch, and he would do nothing more
than taking an advil for it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Come on, Nolan Ryan drank liquid ribbis in the dugout probably, like,
what are we supposed to it's Nolan Ryan? Different? Is
that a band ped substance? LIBI as anybody tried that?
Somebody ever thought about? Man, I don't want to take
the time to eat this steak. Let me just put
it in a blender. You imagine eating a like a
ribbi out of a blender.

Speaker 5 (01:05:52):
Oh, there's a place in Chicago that does something like that.
They take a chocolate cake and put it in a
blender and make a smoothie out of it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Really, yeah, Chicago's this. I'll google it for you right now,
I can multitask.

Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
I think it's Portillo's in Chicago if I'm not mistaken,
No kidding, it's yeah, Oh it is Portillo's. And by
the way, you know, forget about sports statistics and facts.
I even impressed myself that I was able to remember
Portillo's chocolate cake shake offhand. I'm also going to look
up the nutrition information and by the way, just to

(01:06:25):
prove my point and to prove that I'm right and
you're wrong. The guy they brought in for Clark Schmid
pictuing a no hitter JT. Brubaker, first guy faced base
hit no hitters over.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
Hey, look, I mean it's better safe than sorry, you know,
much like the dump button or a mom better safe
than sorry. By the way, did Portillo's also have to
apologize to the Cubs in order to be welcomed into
Wrigley Field again? Or is that just Sammy sos No?
I think that was just the Billy Goat tavern. Probably
so this large sized chocolate cake shake only five ninety nine.

(01:06:59):
I'm still trying to look up the nutritia. Oh here's
the I got to look up the nutrition information. So
all workshop don't even do that. By the way, can
we go live real quick? To our pissant inside Seaker
for the latest, Patrick, Yes, well, Jonas and Ilo.

Speaker 6 (01:07:14):
The term piss ant is from the mid seventeenth century
is known for being an insignificant or contemptial person or thing,
or in our case, someone who's really worthless. So they
were calling you worthless, Jonas.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
Thank you to our piss ant insider Patrick Sweaker for
the latest.

Speaker 6 (01:07:36):
Are you calling me a worthless insider.

Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
Isaac, you were saying, yeah, I've got the nutrition information
for the chocolate cake shake, but I but I do
want to, you know, not get this too far much
farther off the rails. So the Yankees have nine nothing
over the Orioles. At the top of the eighth inning, however,
the no hitter broken up. Clark Schmidt had it through
seven innings, taken out of the game at one hundred
and three pitches.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
JT.

Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
Brew Baker came in and a lot of base hits,
so that potential combined no hitter goes by the boards.
The Brewers a four to nothing lead at Minnesota. Bottom
of the fifth Cardinals up two to one over Cincinnati.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Saint Louis Is
Alec Burlison a two run home run, his eighth home
run of the season, his third in the last five games.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
The Cubs up nine to three over the Mariners.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
In the bottom of the fourth inning at Wrigley, the
Cubs Ian half two home runs four RBI. He's homered
in three straight games. He now has eleven home runs
this year. Kyle Tucker Is fourteenth home run of the season.
Michael Bush a three run home run, his twelfth of
the season. Toronto's Boba schett lef Off the bottom of
the first inning was with his eleventh home run of
the season. The Blue Jays now lead the White Sox

(01:08:43):
three to nothing in the bottom of the second inning.
Earlier today, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Detroit Tigers
eight to three. The Rays have won twenty two of
their last thirty. Now I have the official nutrition information
for the chocolate cake shake at Portillo's in Chicago. All right,
jonas for a large chocolate cake shake, how many calories

(01:09:06):
does it have?

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
Oh, I'll say two thousand.

Speaker 5 (01:09:16):
Actually those are fourteen hundred and ninety Now, how many
how many grams of sugar does it have?

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:09:25):
My god, yeah, I'll say ninety eight, one hundred and
ninety seven. However, that's actually healthier than their chocolate covered
strawberry shake, which has a mirror two hundred and twenty
five grams of sugar. I would imagine that a a

(01:09:46):
free blood pressure cuff comes with your to go or Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
My god, how are like? How is anybody consuming that
and feeling decent the rest of the day. I'm Wilford
Brimley and I'd like to talk to you Fu Diabeta.

Speaker 5 (01:10:01):
I don't know, but they might have to press the
dump button themselves, if you will back to you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
That is true. That is true.

Speaker 5 (01:10:07):
Thank you Ilo, and thank you Isaac and Jonas from
Portillo's for giving them free advertising.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
By Yeah, you're welcome Portillo's. You're welcome. By the way,
I'm a Chicago guy. I have never been to Portillo's Chicago,
I mean the city. What about the Palace Grill? Where's

Speaker 7 (01:11:01):

the mail.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
Well, listen, being an apple pie pizzas. You know you
never know an apple pie?

Speaker 7 (01:11:52):
Yeah, two deep dish, two deep dishes in an apple pie. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
Hey, you know what, Isaac, you know what.

Speaker 5 (01:11:59):
I'm gonna get a burner account and stop and start
tweeting about your obsession with Steve de Seger over me,

(01:13:36):
the show a short time ago that we're too graphic
to maybe post on Twitter, but you can find or
X if you ol. Sorry, Elon, don't want to piss
you off, but you can find it at Jonas Knox
Shaw on Instagram, including a guy writing in and saying
how does Jonas have time for Caitlin Clark when he

(01:13:57):
lets Aaron Rodgers bounce his bleeps off his chin? Maddie,
who wrote in, hey Jonas, yes, you still suck a
big ball of bleep, can't believe this show still exists.
And even Cameron, who writes in, you sound like a
douche who is rooting for the thunder Guess what, Princess,

(01:14:21):
They're going home again. At Jonas knock Show on Instagram
is where you can find all of that fun content.
But right now we close up shop with.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
This Jonas moron, how could you not get to these stories, moron,
are the scraps.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
Patrick Sweek and to find out what we've missed so
far in the show, Patty, what's happening? All right?

Speaker 6 (01:14:49):
Well, Jonahs, here's something that we missed. You may have
hinted at a little earlier. So we all know Aaron
Rodgers is a Steeler and all that good stuff, YadA
YadA with that right, Well, Rodgers apparently had conversations with
Mark s. Schellereth. I gosh, Claric Shlare, I can never
say his last name. Come on, I'm sorry, Claret Shlaret.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
There we go.

Speaker 6 (01:15:12):
Well, they had a conversation and Aaron was telling him
apparently had a twenty five minute diet tribe on the
Jets and not just the whole Jets, their run game.
Imagine like that with like just the whole team and
you know, Woody Johnson and everything else.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
That'd be like three years. And like one of the
things that people were talking about I saw was like, oh,
you know Aaron Rodgers, you know, he was part of
the dysfunction there. It's like no, no, no, Mark Schlare reached
out to him, because I guess they're friends and he
was talking to he was like, hey man, what are
you guys doing with the run game? Was Schlare, you know,
was a great offensive lineman in the NFL. Guy won
Super Bowls and was very successful, And Shlare's like, hey man, like,

(01:15:54):
what are you guys doing with the run game? Because
it doesn't make any sense? Like what like this scheme
all that, and Rogers kind of went off on everything there,
and it's just I start to look back on the
whole Rogers time with the Jets and you just start
to realize what a horrible idea the whole thing was, like,
all of it, because four plays into the season, it

(01:16:17):
was over, four plays into the season, he ruptured his
achilles and that was it, because it was going to
take him a significant amount of time to get back
to one hundred percent. By that time, Robert Sala was
already out the door, and the timelines were completely botched,
like everything was completely so really that moment when Rogers

(01:16:38):
ruptured his achilles, that was the end. It lasted four plays.
He ran out with the American flag and that was
the end, and you just look back on it and
go once that happened. That moment dictated terms of the
entire relationship between Aaron Rodgers the Jets and how that
was all going to go and the rest is history.
What else you got, Patty? All Right?

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
Well, so apparently Jonas, there is a minor league baseball
team Virginia. So they served up a three hundred pound
crab cake to their fans in celebration apparently of apparently
a local banks one hundred and twenty five year anniversary.
But they served a huge three hundred pound crab cake

(01:17:20):
to all their fans.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Jonas Nuts, That is disgusting. That's really disgusting, Like can
I get my own Can I get my own meal?

Speaker 4 (01:17:29):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
Do I have to share a crab cake with some
slob next to me? Like? Why I've been trying to
get away from this guy the entire game and I
got to share a crab cake with him. Let's go
live to our I have a thought on crab cakes
as well to inside a Christoph Pepper the latest Chris.

Speaker 7 (01:17:43):
I'm just gonna say this. I was born in North Carolina.
I lived there for a little bit. This isn't that big.
It's not impressive to me.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
Listen to every crab cake is its own crab cake.
And if you have crabs or I mean, if you
have crab cakes and that's say, that's your thing, then look,
I'm not here to jed. All I'm saying is if
I want to be rewarded, I want to be rewarded
in isolation. I don't want to have to eat a
three hundred pound crab cake next to some people. I

(01:18:11):
don't want to eat or hang out with everything. We
could go bigger. We could get a truck sized crabcake here, don't.
I don't care, Like one crab cake is enough. Three
hundred pounds is obnoxious. This whole thing is disgusting. What
else we got, Patty?

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:18:24):
Jonas, So there was actually in Texas there was a
diaper wearing spider monkey found on the loose and apparently
was scaring residents in Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
So video of.

Speaker 6 (01:18:37):
This, apparently they caught video on like a security like
someone's like ring cameras running around.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Tara, is there a video of this? Do we have
footage of this spider monkey and a diaper?

Speaker 5 (01:18:50):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Do we?

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
Oh? I've seen it right here? Well, I mean, at
least you know, at least he's got a diaper on.
I mean there's like, you know, look based on some
things that people wear nowadays. I think that's progress, you know,
I think that's progress. I'm not sure what happened to
the to the spider monkey wearing the diaper, but you know,
listen out here, we've got coyotes, we've got all sorts

(01:19:13):
of problems. In Texas, they've got spider monkeys walking around.
Listen to each state their own. It's been a fun one.
Appreciate you listening here on FSR showners son of
