Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have to have better stop from the beginning, Jonas Knocks,
you thought you knew me, You didn't know a thing
about me. He's crazier than else.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Wrapped that guy, Jonas Knocks, you heard me the Braden.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Some darkness is lighting up your speakers to establish an
alibi for the day. No Live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios. Here's Jonas Knox.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
YEP. So okay, I'll be part of this world. You know,
it does make you a question a little bit of

(00:49):
everything when it comes to one franchise in the world
of sports. 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 show was
always on at the iHeartRadio app. You can find us
on hundreds of affiliates all across the country. No matter
where you are making us a part of your Saturday.

(01:09):
We appreciate you doing so. We're gonna take you all
the way up until four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific.
So you've heard it be said. Since it happened, you
heard people talk about the moment, the moments, the situation,
the player, how it was featured, present like, just what

(01:33):
you saw last night with sho Heo Tani was, without
a doubt, one of the great all time individual performances
you've ever seen in any sport. And I can say
that because that's not just present day, that's all time,
Like we're talking all time stuff. Guy hits three home runs,

(01:58):
one of them's like the fourth or fifth law youngest
in Dodger Stadium history. But hits three bombs and also
strikes out ten in six and a third shutout innings.
Like we've never like that, we've never seen. Like when
you have in baseball, you have a DH, it's like, well,
you know he's a DH because he can't play in

(02:18):
the outfield or you can't you know, he's a DH
because you know, defensively, like a little bit of a liability.
Shohio Tani's like, no, I'll just you know, I could
probably be the best dhs, but I kind of want
to pitch too, so I'm just gonna go ahead and pitch. Also, okay, sweet,
It's unbelievable, like an absolute all time unbelievable performance, and
you know people get try and well, you know, I

(02:40):
don't know about this, and no, no, no, no, no no, stop,
stop stop. There are things that there you can have
an opinion on, and there are things that are just factual.
Factually speaking, one of the all time great performances we
have ever seen. But in the midst of all of
that last night, you know what I was thinking about.
It wasn't the ten strikeouts. It wasn't the the three bombs.

(03:05):
It wasn't the one that went over the roof in
the outfield. It wasn't the reactions of the players on
the field, not even just the Dodgers, the Brewers players
who were like, oh what are we watching? What are
we seeing? It wasn't the crowd, It wasn't the announcers like,
none of that stuff. You know what I was thinking about,
What the f were the angels thinking? What are you doing? Dude?

(03:31):
You literally had a winning lotto ticket in your pocket
and you threw it in the laundry. You know what
I mean? Like, what are you doing? You literally had
a winning lotto ticket in your hand and you used
it at a coaster and left it behind. You want

(03:54):
to talk. One are the all time great performances, What
are the all time whiffs in the history of sports?
Is how did you let that guy get away. Well
he told you know, I mean they couldn't match them. Well, okay,
hold on a second, here, show hey Otani when he
had the because if you remember the show that broke

(04:17):
that story on this network was this show. Because it
happened while we were on the air. We had David Vasse,
who covers the Dodgers for a five seventy The Blowtorch,
come on and join us and talk about the signing,
talk about you know, Otani's a Dodger. There were a
speculation who was going to be with the Blue Jay,
like all these other stories out there, and according to

(04:39):
the reports, Otani went back to the Angels and gave
them an opportunity to match. Now we're good, okay, cool, Well,
I mean, if you're just gonna let him walk for free,
why didn't you just trade him at the deadline? Yeah,
we're good. Yeah, why would you you know, let mean,

(05:02):
would you want to get anything for him? They had
that guy on their team along with Mike Trout and
never got to five hundred. And we're not talking like
one or two years. He was there a while. And
here's the thing, what you saw last night he had
been doing there. This isn't just a new it's a

(05:26):
new revelation because you're in no man's land when you
play for the Angels. And that's just a fact that
dude went up the five Freeway and turned into a
rock star. All he did was hop in his car,
get a driver, get an uber, and just go, yeah ahead,
take me up to the five place and then go

(05:47):
to that place where people actually show up for games
and they don't have Monster Jam events so they can
make money in the off season, Like, I'll go there.
I just want to go there and became a superstar.
And the issue is he was superstar the entire time,
and the Angels just couldn't figure it out. I can
remember first gig I had in radio, not even like

(06:12):
really an intern job, but I would leave my actual
job that I hated, and I would sit in traffic
for two to three hours and I would drive to
Angel Stadium and I would actually help out one of
the all time great people in the history of the business,
Jeff Bigs, like one of the nicest people, too nice
for our business, but he was a mentor to me

(06:34):
and he would let me hang out with him. And
it was basically off season Angels talk because it was
the Angel Station and all that anybody, and I was
fascinated and really impressed by how many Angels fans there
were that in the middle of the off season, where
it's I mean, come on, we're not talking about the

(06:55):
Angels competing for World Series back then, like it wasn't
you know. I mean, they won one, but that was
a long time before this, and in the middle of
all of the off season and all the other storylines
that were out there, all anybody wanted to talk about
was off season Angels stuff. And I remember just working
with being like, wow, I'm really I didn't think that
it was this big a I live in California, like

(07:15):
I'm I'm I realized, I'm an hour and twenty up north,
but I live here and I had no idea there
was this sort of interest around the Angels, but the
fan base loves them, like love the Angels, supports the team.
And then I remember going to an Angels Cubs game
in August and my son and night before we leave,

(07:37):
I'm like, all right, let's go use the restroom. We're
gonna use the restroom. It's gonna be a long drive back,
and you know, we go, we walk into Angel stadium,
and you got these Angels fans that are just burying
the team, burying Arty Moreno, and why because the Urinals
are broke. There's water, you know, flow all over the
ground like it's a giant mess, and you got these
two guys just baring Arty Moreno. And the problem is

(07:59):
you can multiple that too by however many Angels fans
there are, and that's the feeling, that's how they feel
about things. That fan base who was calling in in
the offseason just wanting something to root for with that team,
something to root for with that franchise. They finally got
it and they let it walk, and they let it

(08:21):
walk up the five for free whatever. But you're probably thinking, oh,
don't worry, they use that money wisely. Yeah, on what
because it wasn't fixing the Urinal I saw it. It's
like I'm watching last night, going how'd you screw that up?

(08:46):
How'd you let that get away? And if you were
gonna let that get away, you couldn't get anything in
return for him, like nothing. You want to know what
sums up the Angels time with Otani the best? Like this,
like and I'm not even making up this story, Like
this is a true story. This sums up Otani's time

(09:07):
with the Angels. The Angels had a team photo years ago.
All right, so they've got this team photo and you know,
all the guys are there, and for whatever reason, there
was either a you know, rehab or there was like
some sort of an issue, but Otani couldn't be part
of the team photo, like there was something else going on,

(09:27):
like an obligation elsewhere, and they had it on like
a random day or whatever. The Angels dressed up somebody
on the staff who's around Otani's height in an Otani jersey,
put him in the team photo, and then photo shopped
Otani's face on the team photo just to make up

(09:51):
for it. By the way, that guy's white, not Otani,
Otani's replacement in the team photo. Like they can't even
get the team photo right. So in the midst of
watching last night and going man, oh man, that is
one of the all time great performances, just think that existed.

(10:13):
What you watched last night existed previously in another location
for a long time, and the previous owners were like, yeah, whatever,
we'll get the next one, Yeah, the next generational talent.
We'll just get him. We've got Mike Trout. We've got listen,
the next generational talent. We'll just get him and then

(10:35):
we'll figure it out from there. And while we're at it,
since we're saving money, nah, we don't need to fix
the Urinals. Nobody showing up to these games anyways. Unbelievable,
unbelievable performance. Unbelievable with by his former team. By the way,

(11:18):
and we continue on here on Fox Sports Radio. Jonas
Knox with you here on FSR. I did want to
mention this, and actually, you know what, I'm gonna save this.
I want to save this because I want to give
this special time. It doesn't deserve a lot of time,
but I want to give it special time because there
is something that is happening that I just I truly
don't understand and I want to question the consumer, all right,

That's the way I operate, So check it out on
YouTube search for Fox Sports radio on there and let
it fly. I remember having a discussion with a buddy
of mine who worked at Tea m Z years ago,

(14:02):
and I asked him kind of like, man, like a
lot of the stories you guys post, who cares? Dude?
Like like oh, you know Brad Pitt seen walking his
dog in Malibu? Like yeah, his dog had to take
a crap? Like who what? Who cares? Like you know,

(14:24):
like you see some of the headlines like I don't understand,
like what why is that a big? Why is that
a story? Like what? Like what's what? What is what
is appealing about that? Uh? Hey, John Cena grabbing a
coffee on a stroll of his wife Like oh, good
for them, So they getting coffee? Like what do you

(14:46):
want a boot? You wanted to get booze at eight
in the morning? Like is that is that the whole
goal here? Like would you rather he was at a
liquor store? Is that?

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Like?

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Ununders But I just kind of ask it, like Ben,
you know, it's not to doubt you're reporting because tmzs
accuracy on their reporting and the details they get do
they do? They do a really good job, you know.
I mean there's some criticism that's deserved, especially in recent
recent weeks. But the point is I remember talking to

(15:14):
this guy and being like, you know, when you guys
post like I don't understand, like what, and he kind
of conveyed to me that, yeah, we don't care either,
Like this is not something I'm not interested in this stuff.
But the problem is a lot of people are, and
so you got to do what the consumer is guiding

(15:35):
you to do. If you're producing numbers over certain subjects,
you're going to hit those subjects more so than you
would other ones. It's it's the old you know, play
the hits conversation, like you listen, play the hits when
all else fails, Play the hits, like what what sells?

(15:57):
What are people interested in? Play the hits? Hey, why
don't you talk any anymore? NBA? I don't know, why
do you think? What do you think people are more
interested in the NFL, college football or the other you know,
well what do you think? But you know you play
the hits and so in talking to this guys, just listen, man,

(16:17):
like I'm with you. These stories are not a big
deal to me. I don't really care about these stories
all that much, but a lot of people do, and
that's why we put this stuff out there. That's why
we have this content up. And so I say all
that to say this, The latest in the Bill Belichick

(16:40):
saga at North Carolina is one I don't understand. I mean,
never mind the fact that they lost to col. Okay,
like they lost to col and you know, kind of
a bad way to lose that game. It's unfortunate. You've
also got reports that Mike Lombardi went to Saudi, went
to Saudi to try and see about revenue to help
the program. And listen, however you want to feel about that,

(17:02):
that's fine. But Pablo Torre. The latest revelation was secret
uncovered video and audio of Bill Belichick and his girlfriend
during a production meeting with NFL Films. Who cares? You

(17:25):
know what I mean? Like, who cares? So during a
production meeting, they aired out some grievances they had with
the quality of the production. Guess what, That's what production
meetings are for. That's what that stuff is for. That's
where you ay, so we gotta do this, we gotta

(17:46):
do that, like you know, we play a piece everything together,
we gotta That's what that stuff is for. This is
like imagine you having like this at work, whatever your
job is, you guys have a meeting before work to
go over things, or you guys are kind of going
over things. Or you work at a restaurant or a
bar and you're sampling some food and the first batch

(18:06):
you bring out is kind of you know, it sucks,
so you got to read and then you guys are
have a discussion how do we make it better? This
and that, and you're being critical. But all of that
is like off hours, Like that's not in front of customers,
that's not in front of guests, Like that's all. That's
called production meetings. That's called practice. That's called working through

(18:27):
stuff before you go live with it. So somebody gave
to Pablo Torre some video of Jordan Hudson and Bill
Belichick being critical of certain ways that production was going
in content that they were a part of. And that's
a story. And this is not again, to criticize Pablo tore.

(18:50):
It's not to criticize TMZ. It's not to criticize any
of that stuff. It's more to question the consumer because
the only reason he's released that information and the only
reason he's providing that content is because clearly people want
it during the off season. Oh my god, another Aaron

(19:11):
Rodgers story. Oh more on the Cowboys. Dude, check the numbers.
Clearly people want it. You can criticize the host, you
can criticize the reporter, you can criticize the website if
you go want to criticize anything, criticize the consumer. And
the one thing that I have been consistent on in

(19:33):
this entire Bill Belichick saga and storyline is there are
certain aspects of this that literally don't matter at all
at all. It doesn't matter that Bill Belichick was shirtless
outside in airbnb in Nantucket and they got a hold

(19:54):
of the video and they found the place where it
happened at. If anything, that makes the owners of that
airbnb look bad. Because if you're looking to stay somewhere
and you want to stay somewhere and have, you know, privacy,
and you're on a family vacation, are you going to
call up those two rats, those two snakes in the grass,
those two weasels who released a camera footage and gave

(20:16):
details of Belichick stay there, No kiss my ass. I'd
like some privacy. I'll go get a motel next to
some fishermen who's been doing drugs for fifteen years because
he didn't make it on the last call of Deadliest Catch.
I'm good. So this is not a knock on pablotry.

(20:37):
It's not a knock on TMZ. It's not a The
coverage of Belichick is wild, and the interest in the
stuff that has nothing to do with anything football related
is crazy. Why is this a story? If you want
to talk about their performance against you know, FBS goals,

(20:59):
that's fine. Doesn't look great if you want to talk
about like we were a couple of weeks ago they
were hosting Clemson and by the second quarter fans were
leaving the stadium, not great. If you want to talk
about what a letdown it's been because you had all
these former players and alum show up week one and
TCU went and ran through their ass. As Nick Saban
would say, like s through a tin horn. If you

(21:23):
want to talk like all of that stuff is fair,
I get all of it. This stuff has zero to
do with anything football related, and for some reason people
still consume it. Like, for some reason people are still
interested in this, Like this is amazing content and the

(21:45):
only reason he's providing it is because people want it.
I'd love to know. If somebody pulled Pablo Tory aside
and said, hey, man, do you care about this stuff?
He'd probably be like, because I've heard it. He does great.
He's a hell of a talent and what he's done
is fantastic. But I would be willing to bet that
if you pulled Pablo Torre aside and said, hey, do

(22:07):
you really do you care about Belichick? And they'd be like, no,
I don't care, what do I care? But people are
buying it, you know, like just like people are into
that stuff. You know. It's like some guy who works
at a fetish shop. He's looking for a part time job.
It's like, yeah, listen, man, Like you know, a couple
came in here earlier. They bought a bowling pin with

(22:27):
a wig on it. They bought uh, you know, some
pepper spray, a ballgag, and a bound and chain abound
in chain chamber, and like that's this is the way.
I don't know what to tell you, like that, it's just
the that's what they buy. They're into that stuff, you know.
There's like there's all sorts of things that are happening.

(22:49):
They've got a chair that moans when you sit on it, like, listen,
they're just into That doesn't mean he is, but that's
what they're buying. And so when I hear this story
come out and I he that people this interested in it,
I just want to question, what the hell is going
on with you? Is there not enough real content football

(23:12):
related in the world that this is a story that
you've got to dive into. So at certain points, you
don't question the source, you question the consumer, and this
is one of those. At the Jonas Knox on x
at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram and you can hang
out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app art
it's coming up next here we are going to hand

(23:32):
out an award on this show. It is our t
g FG Game of the Week. That'll be yours here
on FSR. But for all the latest, we turn it
over to the Great, to the powerful, saying to the
one and only.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
First, should I go LSU?

Speaker 1 (23:50):
When you talk?

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Should I start with LSU? Vanderbilt?

Speaker 6 (23:53):
And that's situation, is what I'm necessary to say. Keep
them out of the end zone, because I feel like
that's pretty self disclanetorians.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yeah, I know, so I think I'll what I'll do
is I'll just start with the touchdown.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
When it comes to me, should that saved zone instead
of end zone?

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Well? Yeah, but it's it's rat it's radio boy. Jonas.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Hey, Isaac, what's salacious content? That was boy? Jordan Hudson?
What an evil person? I don't know we're you're talking about.
I'm just going, I'm just doing some pre prep here.
I nothing's going on. I'm just And by the way,
what are you hanging out with Jordan Hudson for? You
don't know, another guy's lawn. You've seen Kingpin.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
I think the real question here is why is Jordan
Hudson hanging out with me? Well?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Her eyes work clearly.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
Should that say redizone instead of en zone?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
How about that? Isaac?

Speaker 5 (24:41):
I will take her advice. Kudos by the way, they're Jonas,
that was going. I will take her advice and start
with LSU Vanderbilt because number seventeen Vanderbilt is leading tenth
ranked LSU twenty four to twenty one, one fifteen left
to play in the third quarter. Vanderbilt led this game
twenty four to thirteen with six fifty three left in

(25:03):
the third quarter, but then LSU came back a smier
under duress, tries to get it out, does so near side,
saybe On Thomas curls back at the forty, breaks a
tackle on free down the near sideline.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Thirty twenty fifteen.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Ten five touchdown fighting Tigers.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well got a little gen Decker off to him. There
he he does. That was on WGEL.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
But unfortunately the close game was short lived because Vanderbilt
has just scored a touchdown on a scramble by d
on a scramble by Diego Pavia. It is now thirty
one twenty one Vanderbilt Jonas leading LSU with twenty seven

(25:49):
seconds left in the third quarter. The touchdown run from
twenty one yards out and as you can imagine, LSU
fans on social media not amused. These courtesy of the
popular social media site message board Geniuses at Partha posting
simply quote, leave Brian Kelly on the tarmac. Yeah, at

(26:15):
flapping Pierre posting, can we pull a James Franklin and
fire Kelly after this game if we lose? Who cares
any more about a buyout amount? Done with this loser?
Unquote So again, number seventeen, Vanderbilt has just taken a
thirty one to twenty one lead over tenth ranked LSU

(26:35):
with twenty seven seconds remaining in the third quarter. Meanwhile,
number twelve Georgia Tech and Duke tied at ten after three.
Michigan and Washington tied at seven with one twenty six
left to play in the third quarter. We have some
fresh NFL news that has just come down. The Washington
Commanders have downgraded receiver Deebo Samuel to out for tomorrow's

(26:59):
game against the Dallas Cowboys. At FL Media reports, the
Arizona Cardinals are once again planning to start Jacoby Brissett
at quarterback against Green Bay. Kyler Murray officially listed as
questionable due to a spring foot. Tampa Bay Buccaneers receivers
of Mecca Abuka and Mike Evans will be game time
decisions for Monday night football at Detroit.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
How should I toss it back to him?

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Should that say zone instead of end zone?

Speaker 5 (27:23):
And never mind? Jonas back to you?

Speaker 1 (27:25):
By the way, is it pavia or pavia?

Speaker 5 (27:30):
I'm sorry, it's pavia pavia, So you you emphasize the
first syllable. I look this up a short time ago
because of my extreme paranoise. So it's pavia.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, yeah, I got you. Man. I was just wondering, Yeah,
look at it, you know, I mean, they're gonna win
this game anyway, So just whatever you whatever you want
to do with that, that's fine. Was just curious. Well
I've heard different versions, different variations, if you will.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Yeah, so I did look on the pronunciation guy, so
it is pavia. But the real pronunciation about this game
really has more to do right now with Brian Kelly
and his Cajun accent the way things are going.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, I mean he's such a likable guy.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yes, he has that going for him. Yeah, it's unfortunately
unlike that prickly James Franklin.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah yeah, yeah right, yeah, well look I mean James Franklin,
he's thinking national titles now, he's looking somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
So, I mean, also so interesting and thinking about the
message boards. How the whole Lane Kiffen thing back in
the day made tarmac a verb like, let's get so
and so college football coach tarmacked after.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
The game to get tarmacked. Right, Yeah, well I doubt
that'll happen. Brian Kelly's owed too much money. But you know,
when you come in with a fake Cajun accent and
you start having a red ass when people are questioning
the legitimacy of your win against Clemson. You know, maybe
some people are going to be against you. You know,
maybe that's the case, but you know who knows. Thank you, Isaac.

(29:05):
It is Jonas Noxi or on Fox Sports Radio. By
the way, if you thought Isaac's update was hot, it
was and it was brought to you by the original
Louisiana Hot Sauce. It's the perfect balance of peppers, vinegar
and salt, wings, nachos, burgers, hit any tailgate food with
the bold, handcrafted flavor of the original Louisiana Hot Sauce.
That's Louisiana Hot by you some So we are going

(29:27):
to have another edition of Do You Care coming up
here that'll be yours in about we'll call it ten
minutes from now. But right now it is time for
a Saturday tradition here on the show. We are not greedy.
We don't want to keep all the compliments. We want
to hand out some and hand out some awards to
go along with it. So, without further ado, it is
time for our TGFG Game of the Week in week

(29:51):
seven and it goes too panthers and shats. Oh yeah, baby, Yes,
you knew it. You knew it. One team's winless at home,
one team is winless on the road. Something's gotta give.
If there was ever a game that I was hoping

(30:13):
for a tie, this is the one. But you got
the Carolina Panthers. Oh, by the way, I root for
the Carolina Panthers, like, not really, but I want them
to do well just because Dave Canalis and Bryce Young
seem like the nicest guys in the world. Literally seemed
like the nicest coach quarterback combination of all time. And
then you got the Jets, who were just awful whatever

(30:38):
London got last week, and watching the Broncos and the Jets,
they're looking around going, dude, could we just get football back? Like,
could we please just get football back? Like, somebody get
us some football back, because whatever whatever that was wasn't football.
We'll take our brand and we'll just run with that.
You guys can keep the NFL over in the States.
So you got these two teams face It's a one

(31:00):
pm Eastern time kickoff on Fox. Aaron Glenn's searching for answers.
The Carolina Panthers are just hoping to have some success
so they can justify want to keep Bryce Young around
even longer. And on top of all of that, you
just go back to the New York Jets looking Aaron
Rodgers square in the eyes and saying we're too good

(31:22):
for you, not vice versa. So our TGFG Game of
the Week goes to the Panthers goes to the Jets
one pm Eastern time on Fox. Thank god for gambling
Game of the week, because if not for gambling, Let's
be honest here, what's really the interest level in this?
If it's not fantasy, if you don't have money on
the game, who's really interested in this? At the Jonas

(31:44):
Knox on x at Jonas knoxhaw on Instagram. It up next,
we are going to have another Saturday tradition here on
the show. It's another edition of Do You Care? And
it's yours here on FSR Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.
Coming off top of next hour, we'll call it fifteen
minutes from now, We're going to have a discussion about
a team and a fan base that needs to realistically

(32:07):
look at where they are. We're talking a realistic look
at where they are. That'll be yours here coming up,
and we'll call it fifteen minutes from now Here on FSR.
So this is a tradition we have on this show
every single week because there's a lot of stories that
you're force fed throughout the past several days that a
lot of people think are really really important. Case in point,

(32:29):
like I was mentioning earlier a Belichick and his girlfriend
in a production meeting, Like that's like that's big news.
Like whoa, that's a boy. What a big story. But
there's a lot of people who really love that stuff,
like they're really into it. We are not, and during
this segment we expose it. Every single week, it's time.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Of time DMS reports.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big stories from
the last week. But Jonah, the real question is do
you care?

Speaker 1 (33:03):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
the one and only Bo Benzon to find out what
the hell people have been talking about all week?

Speaker 7 (33:09):
Bo well, jonas earlier this week, let's say Tuesday, at
about four pm, uh four pm Pacific time the real
time zone, our good friend Rob Parker, friend of everybody
on this show, everybody on this network. He coined a
new nickname for show, Heyo Tani.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Rob Parker.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
He called him no show Hey Otani as show Heytani
had not played well up to that point. Wow Obviously
last night Otani won n l C S m v
P in one game by himself, Jonas, Do you care
about Rob's new nickname for a show, Hey Otani?

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah? I do. And I gotta be careful here because
Rob's been known to block people gig gig. I don't
want to listen, you know, I don't want to get blocked.
He's He's a good friend I have. I've always had
fun with Rob Parker when we do shows together. But

(34:09):
the problem is when he gets something wrong. When he
gets it right, he's the first to tell you. You know,
it's so quiet and such and such, you can hear
a mouse urinate on, you know, like whatever. But when
he gets something wrong was hot, he's not like he
cannot handle it. He is not a fan of that,
so I've got to tread lightly. I would also say

(34:31):
that I was wrong early on show Hey was struggling,
like when the Phillies decided to intentionally walk him to
bring up Mookie Betts. My whole point on that was listen,
you've got another team walking show, hey Otani with the
bases loaded to face a first ballot Hall of Famer

(34:54):
like Mookie Bets is a first ballot Hall of Famer.
He's going to the Hall of Fame, and they decided
we're going to face him instead of facing the guy
who was one for seventeen in the series at the time.
That's how great O'tani is. So Rob Parker got that one.
Here's a little premature on that. I understood and taken

(35:14):
in real time. But I want to tread lightly on this,
and I think everybody here at the network should because
he is known to block people and I don't want
to get on his bad side.

Speaker 7 (35:22):
Now give me the money shot Packer's Packer's defensive end.
Micah Parsons called that NFL reps earlier this week for
favoring the offenses, and jonas I got asked, do you care?

Speaker 1 (35:34):
No, I don't care, Like I under I look, I understand,
you know, the complaining and all that stuff. I just
feel like anybody complaining about the tush push at this point, dude,
it's gonna be gone next year. We all know that,
Like just let him enjoy it while they got it.
You know. It's like it's like, you know, you give
a prisoner one last meal. Wow, he doesn't deserve it.
So what do you care? This guy's gonna be dead

(35:54):
in twenty four hours anyways. So he wants Buffalo wings,
he wants some Rocky Road ice cream, he wants you know,
two bags of funions and you know, a six pack
of Cores original, Like, okay, what do you care? Well,
he shouldn't get all that. He murdered somebody, okay, And
they're gonna put a needle in his arm in twenty
four hours, and the guy's gonna go into convulsions and
his eyeballs are gonna pop out of his head. Who cares? Next?

Speaker 7 (36:18):
Nebraska's Matt Ruhlind Syracuse's Fran Brown were both asked about
de penn state coaching vacancy, giving a long, sometimes defensive answers.
But if you'll notice, neither one of them ever said no,
So Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Oh yeah, listen, I love the song. I love the
song and dance. I love this whole. Well, you know,
we're not quite sure, and I really love it here
and I like, you know, I'm committed to winning at
this program, and if you can do it here, it's
different here than elsewhere. Matt Rule's getting that job. Okay,
let's just let's call what it is. And this is
not based on any conversation I've had with LeVar Arrington.

(36:53):
I don't have any inside information. He won't tell me anything,
like he'll tell me nothing, which I think is is racial.
But again, that's a whole nother discussion. We could have
it another time. Matt Rule's getting the job. He's going
to be the next head coach of Penn State. It
makes way too much sense based on his background, his history,
his relationship with the ad there. And at that point
you just got to move on. Let's go live to

(37:15):
our I've got something insider Chris Purfet for the latest.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
Chris, do you think Penn State thinks about the Minnesota
loss last night?

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Though?

Speaker 5 (37:22):
Does that give them a little bit of pause?

Speaker 1 (37:25):
No?

Speaker 5 (37:26):
Do you think he's got to bring Dominic Ryola with him,
but he's also got to drop the Patrick Mahomes act.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Let me ask you this, do you think that team
that lost to UCLA in Northwestern is in any position
to question a lostlands? Extremely fair to say yes, yeah,
If anything, they should They should give him a ten
year contract right now and say, hey, man, you know
it beats our losses.

Speaker 7 (37:48):
Next, the Dallas Cowboys will be without defensive back Trayvon
Diggs tomorrow after an accident at home left him in
the concussion protocol. Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah? I do. There's there are two injuries that I
find very interesting this week in the NFL. One of
them is this accident at home that left you in
a concussion. I don't know if that means he slipped
going down the stairs. I don't know if that means,
you know, he had, you know, some some dishware hanging
up and it fell on his head. I don't know

(38:20):
if you know there was an altercation with somebody at
the house. I'm not listen. You know, his brother was
on the SS two C in the off season. Maybe
that was involved. I don't like that's interesting to me.
The other one is that DJ Moore injury on Monday night.
DJ Moore spent the night in a DC hospital because
of a as. Ben Johnson was calling it a personal issue,

(38:43):
and I just want to know how hard did he
get hitting the balls that he needed to spend a
night in the hospital and not fly back with the team,
like like, what was that swelling? Like that? They're like,
you cannot go up on a plane with that. Okay,
you can't go up on the plane with that because
by the time you get off, it's going to look
like you're smuggling a Duffel bag out of the plane.

Speaker 7 (39:00):
Next, along with every other millennial in Los Angeles, I
will be going to the Greek Theater tonight to see
the band Rylo Kylie Jonas.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Do you care? No, I don't care. What is Rylo Kylie?

Speaker 7 (39:17):
It's it's Jenny Lewis's band. Jenny Lewis famed for Troop
Beverly Hills. She was in Life with Lucy. It's my
wife's favorite band.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Oh no, is this aa? Are you taking the little one?
Or is this some no?

Speaker 5 (39:30):
No?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
We oh yeah, okay, well then I yeah, I can't
listen because those are a few and far between. Anybody
that's got I know that when you can get out
and uh and not have to worry about getting assaulted
because you turned Bluey off, that's a real win for
everybody involved. Now is this going to Are you gonna
have some cocktails while you're there, you guys gonna go
out boozing or what I may.

Speaker 7 (39:50):
We We went to the Chapel Roan show at the
Rose Bowl last weekend. And you know how you used
to go to a show or something, you'd order a
beer and it would be a tall bu Boy. Now
we get the the twist Cap Corps lights. But it's
the same cause as the Tall Boys. So I don't
know if I'm gonna be tonight.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Are those sixteen ouncers? Yeah? I think yeah, So they're
jipping you on eight ounces and it's still the same
price I buy that for him. That's I mean, that
whole thing's disturbing. Here's the other part that I just
realized was disturbing. So you went, this will make two
concerts in consecutive weeks for you. Yeah, well three for me,
two for her. Okay, all right, So but what's disturbing

(40:31):
for me is that all of the bands that I
would be interested in wanting to see in concert right now,
almost all of them have died of a drug overdose.
Like I'd be like every single one, so like, you know, hey,
rest in peace, but we get somebody else out there.
You know. It is interesting how a fan base and

(40:52):
a team aren't really looking at things from a realistic
vantage point. Kind of interesting. We'll get into that for
you coming up here 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 us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country
and wherever you are making us a part of your Saturday,

(41:14):
we appreciate you doing so. We'll be taking you all
the way up until the end of this hour and
a lot of positive feedback coming in on the show.
As we always mention, you can find us on x
at the Jonas Knox, but you can also find us
on Instagram as well too, And if you go to
our Instagram page at Jonas Knox show up in the

(41:34):
IG stories you can see the positive feedback that has
already been flooding into the show as we are an hour.
A little over an hour into the show, Joe writes
in Hey, u f you are questioning the consumer for
the content that is put out there by a holes
like you and the media at large. Ever, consider that

(41:55):
those consumers vote. That's the real problem. You ball washing,
d sucking sports worshiping a hole. JC Wrights in Jackass,
Small Knob, seems like you've kept your job. What a

(42:20):
steaming piece of s the humankind. Your show sucks. I
bet you suck too, a mean bleep. Get the f
off the airwaves, you barbed wire, tatted f tard. I'd
rather listen to Nickelback in a gay bar u f at.

(42:48):
Jonas Knox Shaw on Instagram is where you can see
those in full display and unedited in the IG stories.
Go ahead and give it a follow as we continue
to provide that content for you every single week here
on the show.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
All right, So that being said, we now transitioned smoothly
over to the story that we led with, which is, like,
however you want to call it.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
You know some people are, you know, the greatest of
all time, greatest, this greatest, like whatever you want to
say about it. The show. Heo Tani performance last night
second to none, Like that is the greatest baseball performance
we've seen, And there's been a lot of really great
baseball performances, but we haven't seen that to where a

(43:39):
guy strikes out ten six scoreless innings and in an
elimination game to go to the World Series in that
moment three home runs. One of them's you know, top
five farthest hit balls at Dodger Stadium, like just an
incredible performance. And my whole thought, you know, there was
the thought while all of that was going on, was

(43:59):
my god, what are the Angels doing? Dude, I think
I'm moving to Mexico. I'm listen, I already did rob
It's not that great, but I mean, what are the
Angels doing? You know, like, the Angels had that and
they let it walk, and I can get if you
didn't want to pay that amount of money. Kind of
I kind of, you know, not really a kind of

(44:21):
There's some people that have said the Dodgers and the
first year made up that seven hundred million dollars like whatever,
Like the seven hundred million dollars Otani got, the Dodgers
already made up made that up in the first year
in ticket revenue, in you know, overseas merchandise like all
the like just the business he's brought. They've made that

(44:43):
money back and then some. And that was one year
into the deal. So you see the Otani game last
night and you're like, dude, like, we're never going to
see that again, probably ever. And he was there in
Anaheim down south, and they let him walk. Didn't want
to pay the money, but also didn't want to trade
them at the deadline. No, no, we're not gonna give

(45:04):
him away. Okay, huh oh, well that makes sense. Why
would you, you know, listen, why would you want to
trade and get something for him? Even though there were
offers out there. You probably could reset your entire farm system,
but now, why would you want to do that? Never mind, Yeah,
you don't want to do that. But the other, you know,
sort of hilarious part about all that is that people

(45:25):
actually thought the Brewers had real eyes set on the
World Series like that. That was funny like that, like
that's funny, And listen, this has got nothing to do
with you know whatever. You know, that lady who was
yelling out ice jokes to the to the Hispanic guy
who was you know, had served in you know, two

(45:46):
Wars and all. But you know, like whatever, like she
loses her job like that. That that's beside the point.
Like the the whole idea that you're thinking World Series
when you had the reaction you did when you beat
the Cubs in the NLDS, tells you everything you need

(46:09):
to know about realistic expectations for the organization, Like, like,
that's that was your World series whatever you called disappearance
in the NLCS. I don't even think it counts, to
be honest with you, I don't think. I really don't
think it counts. What was that? And you had home

(46:30):
Field and that what was that? But that's why, like,
there are certain teams that are really serious contenders and
then there's those other ones, and you're those other ones.
The Phillies were a serious contender, and you saw how
that played out, and then you were kind of one
of the other ones. Yeah, kind of over there. So

(46:53):
like you know, bringing out the L flag after you
beat it's like, why don't you just tell everybody that
the Cubs rent a small town home? In your head,
why don't you just tell everybody that? Because based on
that reaction and then this performance, like you basically showed
your ass to everybody that, Hey, by the way, that
was our world series whatever you call this series that

(47:14):
was to go to the actual world series. Yeah, that
was beneath all that kind of funny. What else is
kind of funny is the reaction that another fan base
has had, right, and then we're gonna get into the
hilarity of that coming up here in just a moment.
But I do want to mention this because you've been
watching the Brewers get eliminated, and you've been watching the

(47:37):
Dodgers advance. You've probably seen that red Ostrich logo on
the MLB postseason helmets. That's Strauss Baby, Trusted by pros
Worldwide pants built like tools, durable, comfortable, and engineered to
perform from grit to glory. Gear up at Strauss dot com,
st r a Uss dot com. So this other fan
base had a kind of a comical reaction. The Chicago

(48:02):
Bears and their fans' reaction to Troy Aikman's commentary on
Monday night is hilarious. Now, even Ben Johnson, Ben Johnson,
who's all serious and matter of fact and we're not
playing games and this, and he's on ESPN one thousand

(48:23):
in Chicago, and he made a comment about the broadcast
and Troy Aikman on the call, like.

Speaker 9 (48:34):
From that game the other night, a few people weren't
particularly pleased with how we're winning right now. So that's
the I woke up this morning and you know, my
kids were watching the second half before school and so
I heard some of the commentary, but listen, in this league,
anyway you can find a way to win.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Here's the part that I don't understand. What did he say?
What did Troy Aikman say during that entire broadcast that
was incorrect? I'm failing to understand that. I'm also failing
to understand a realistic vantage point that the Bears fan
base and the Bears have about the team. Right, Yes,

(49:12):
they're three and two. Yes, like they've won three straight games,
and you've won back to back games on the road.
And yes, in previous years this would probably not be
the case. You would have probably lost the game against
the Raiders as you did last year. You probably would
have lost that game against the Commanders. All of that

(49:34):
is fair. All of that is true. Here's what else
is true. It was a blocked kick and a fumble
in the mist that led to those wins the past
couple of games. It's not like this is all of
a sudden turned into some dominant performance and they've gone
out there and they've lit teams up. No, like, both

(49:54):
games down to the wire, and you give credit where
credit's due. There definitely is a culture shift there. There
definitely is a culture change. You can feel it. As
pointed out those games they would lose in previous years,
and they did. You saw how that played out. Anything
bad that could happen late game would happen. But this
idea that people are like, oh my god, you know,

(50:15):
and then there's a thought that well, maybe Akman was
critical because Kayleb Williams, you know, didn't have his you know,
his usual pregame meeting with the broadcasters, because he was
staying late at the facility, Like whatever, whatever you want
to talk about. It's just this idea of well, put
some respect on their name. Dude, it's two games. You

(50:36):
should probably lost both of them. I mean, if we're
being honest, like you probably should have lost both of them.
The Raiders game, it wasn't exactly it didn't look like
it was, you know, the greatest offensive performance in the
world Like that looked like the Dallas game. And if
you haven't seen anybody play against Dallas, Carolina just beat him.
Everybody's running all over Dallas. Everybody's thrown all over Dallas.

(51:02):
I mean, the defense is the biggest issue with the team.
Dak Prescott's been great, their defense is terrible. Which is
why people were scratching their heads, like why did you
Why did you trade Michael Parsons? What that's like an
O Tommy move? Why? But like the last two games,
there was a lot of things that had to go

(51:24):
wrong for somebody else for you to even have the
chance for it to go right. And normally that would
have been flipped in previous years. But let's not mistake
the past two games with the fact that it's still
a developing football team, the idea that we're all you know,
we're gonna we're gonna get even. With Troy Aikman on
the call, I got news for you, man, The Bears

(51:44):
have got the Saints this weekend. New Orleans. Ain't that bad?
I know everybody wants to make them out. Spencer Rattler
has not been that bad. Like that, right, there would
be the perfect letdown game for the Bears if you
were riding high on a couple of fluky wins against

(52:04):
the Raiders and the Commanders, if you were riding high
on that because the culture is changing, and it has
and Ben Johnson deserves credit for that, He deserves all
the credit in the world. But if you were riding
high on that only to crap down your leg against
the Saints at home, that would be the telltale sign
that things haven't really changed that much in Chicago. But
to get all up in arms because of some critique

(52:26):
on the broadcast, which wasn't even overstepping their bounds, wasn't
even that bad. Like, I get that you want to
be promoted and you want to people that you're tired
of people talking poorly about you. But it's going to
take more than the last two games against the Commanders
and the Raiders in order to get to that point.
At the Jonas Knocks on x at Jonas knock Show
on Instagram and you can hang out with us is

(52:47):
always on the iHeartRadio app. Right, it's coming up next here.
A lot of people say they are, but not a
a lot of people actually are. You hear the term
super Bowl or bust that applies to one franchise in
the NFL, And I'll tell you who that is next,
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio, coming up a little over

(53:11):
ten minutes from now. We're gonna get the first of
its kind in the NFL this weekend. All right, we
haven't seen it all year, not like this anyways. So
we'll get the first of its kind coming up here
a little over ten minutes from now here on FSR.
By the way, we did mention the Instagram page that
you can follow along at Jonas Knox Show if you'd

(53:32):
like to do so. A lot of the positive feedback
that has been flooding in. We've got more of that
scintillating content here. Booby rights in. And this is a
lot going on here, Booby rights in. Hey, Jonas, I
knew you would open up with all your fanboy glazing

(53:54):
of the Dodgers and your man crush shoho tani. You
bet your ross dress for lesser regular panties got so
sticky striking out all those batters, and when he hit
that third home run, it made your deformed toes curl?
First of all, how's he know have deformed toes? Like?

(54:16):
That's like, what do you like? What are you doing? Dude?
Will you shoe salesman? Ben Wright's in u o tany
d sucking fan bleep like the rest of LA media,
brainwashed bleeps with your pom poms on while bleeping it
out to your goat boy toy against some bleep irrelevant

(54:38):
team like the f Boys. You all are at Jonas
Knockshaw on Instagram. At Jonas Knockshaw on Instagram is where
you can see all of those insults in full detail
and unedited as well too. By the way, it is
a final Vanderbilt with a thirty one to twenty four

(54:58):
win over LSU, So another big win for Vanderbilt. And
as we were discussing earlier, Brian Kelly, who has done
a just a tremendous job of making himself unlikable, it's
probably going to be a real gem to be around
this week. So there's your quick update from the world
of college football. We'll have more scores and stories to

(55:18):
go along with those scores with the great Isaac Lonkron
coming up here bottom of the hour. By the way,
with the iHeartRadio app, you can stream us wherever you

of your presets in the iHeart app, so we'll always

(55:41):
pop up at the top of your screen. So there's
a lot of teams that claim super Bowl or bust.
A lot of teams out there that say it's Super
Bowler bust man. You know, if we don't win the
Super Bowl, where there's a lot of teams to claim it,
a lot of them, pretty much all of them, there's
only one that actually means it, like there's only one

(56:03):
that's really about that life. You know. That team is
the Philadelphia Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles, super Bowl or bust
is unlike any I can recall seeing in covering the

(56:24):
NFL for as long as I have, it is fascinating
to see the storylines and narratives around that team from
year to year. And I don't know if it's a
fan base thing. I don't know what it is, but
they're really living that like that that's a real thing.
It's super Bowl or bust. So there was a and

(56:50):
Jeremy Fowler had this report that was out all right, now,
just imagine, just imagine this is any other franchise where
talking about all right, just imagine, all right, just put
it in your mind. Just pick a franchise top of
your head, not named the Eagles, and just imagine that
this was the conversation they were having a right quote.
One player told me that this season is starting to

(57:13):
feel like the twenty twenty three meltdown all over again,
and the team needs to use this week to figure
things out and avoid a full blown repeat. As for solutions,
some in the locker room would like to see more
play action. They use it nineteen point six percent of
the time, which is twenty ninth in the NFL. Perhaps

(57:34):
we see more pre snap movement motion to open up
more throwing windows, which might encourage Jalen Hurts to let
it loose a little more, hit the throws that are
there and hit them on time. That team just won
a super Bowl in February, Like literally just won a
super Bowl February February. Not only they win a super Bowl,

(57:59):
they were dominant and dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in
a big game like we've never seen before. They just
won a super Bowl. And you've got people who want
to remain anonymous within the team an organization going to
national reporters saying, yeah, man, this ain't looking good looking.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
We're six weeks, seven weeks into the season and they're
already talking about, Hey, this could end up like twenty
twenty three all over again. Remember the twenty twenty three season.
Remember that one that he's referring to. Yeah, that two
was a playoff year. And that two was also a
few months after they were just in a super Bowl.

(58:46):
Every other team talks super Bowl or bust. Every other
franchise in the NFL talk super bowler bets super Bowl
or bus this year, you are full of crap for
the Eagles. It really is superl or bust. Nick Sirianni
has had the start to his career as a coach

(59:08):
with Philly like we haven't seen before, playoffs, every year,
a couple of super Bowls, another super Bowl wins. Hey, uh,
you know, I think Sirianni might be losing the locker room.
They just won a super Bowl two years after going
to another one. And the reason they say this is

(59:29):
just like twenty twenty three. It's like, well, you know
it's I mean after twenty twenty three. Before last year,
there were conversations at Nick Sirianni might lose his job,
not even making that up. Conversation. Remember it was like, well,
you know, hey, Bill Belichick's out there. You know he's
close with you know, the Eagles front office and every

(59:51):
other team that tries to sell you quote unquote super
Bowl or bust is full of crap except the Eagles
anywhere else. You're good, you won a super Bowl. You're good.
You good for a little while in Philly, you won

(01:00:13):
a super Bowl. It Doug Peterson. Man, it was fun
and all man, but it's time. See you gotta go.
How long was Doug Peterson there after the Eagles won
that Super Bowl? But three years, maybe two, three years,
something like that, a couple Mike Tomlin was last in

(01:00:35):
a super Bowl in twenty eleven. He last won a
super Bowl in two thousand and eight, something like that.
And only now are you starting to hear like, hey,
you know, maybe they would kick the tires on potentially
moving on from Tomlin if things don't, if things go sideways,
you know maybe in Philly, same state, couple hour drive.

(01:01:00):
Oh no no no no no no no no no
no no, deliver now, deliver tomorrow, and if you don't,
we'll see. Like it's who are a few games into
this season they're talking about Jalen Hurts, Joe. You know
they've got to do this, and the offense is this
and there they lost their coordinators like that, like let's

(01:01:23):
like they lost Kellen Moore again, like that that has
happened again. The last time it happened, there was all
the conversation about like there's changes that take place, like
Fangio is still there, like a babe, listen, you got Fangio.
Everything's good, But just the discussion around Philly is different
than anywhere else. And Howie Roseman is all about it.

(01:01:45):
You drafted Carson Wentz high, like, hey, listen, this is
our guy. This is our guy. Yeah. But Nick Foles,
you know, is gonna bring us to a super Bowl. Cool?
Carson Wentz got paid. Yeah, but you drafted Jalen hurts Man.
I got to move on Jalen hurts is if Jalen
hurts struggles, what they're going to do, if they find
somebody else they're going to move on to. Like everybody's ay,

(01:02:06):
what have you done for me lately? Everywhere else in
the league, everywhere else when they're telling you super Bowl
or bust, give them the side eye, except for Philly
because there they actually do live that life at the
Jonas Knocks on X at Jonas knock Show on Instagram
and again you can hang out with us on the
iHeartRadio app Up next here we are going to tell

(01:02:26):
you about the first of its kind in the NFL
this season. That'll be yours here on FSR. But for
all the latest from around the world of sports ladies
and gentlemen. He's a man who sits atop the sports
talk radio landscape and tells you exactly what things mean.

(01:02:46):
While everybody else is giving you false narratives and everybody
else is giving you false information. He's looking up pronunciation
guides to give you the facts. He is the one,
he is the only. He is the majestic Major Isaac
long Crawl.

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
Best inside I can give is People tend to describe
you and present LSU head coach Brian Kelly in similar
fashions on social media. Because it is a final Jonas
number seventeen, Vanderbilt has defeated tenth ranked LSU thirty one

(01:03:25):
to twenty four. Here were the gleeful final seconds on
w PRT.

Speaker 10 (01:03:31):
Blake clocks down to two Diego Papia, Tikepity and Bannert.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Built will walk on it here winners.

Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
As we counted out this clock from thirty the doors
spell onto the field thirty one to twenty four Diego
Papia sensational once again.

Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
All right, so Pavia two touchdown runs, one touchdown pass.
Now let's sift through some of the reaction to this
result from LSU fans at ls thank you bad boy
seventy five commenting and I quote bleep Brian Kelly, bleep
the whole coaching staff, Get them bleep bleepers out of here.

(01:04:11):
This team is so soft and a complete embarrassment. Overpaid
coaching staff ain't doing bleep no discipline at all. That
kind of sounds like one of your fans tweeting about you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Guys, clearly a listener to this show. I think they
have that in common.

Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
Then we have at boot baw contributing quote can't wait
to hear what kind of absolute diarrhea Brian Kelly spews
out of his mouth in his postgame presser. Neither can
I at boot BA, neither can I. And finally at
Tim Underscore f underscore read contributing, and I quote Brian

(01:04:54):
Kelly is the blonde that ruined Van Halen unquote all
I'm not one hundred percent familiar with that. I didn't
know that that was a thing. Do you have some context?

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Perhaps? I think if memory serves me correct. There was
some sharing that was going on. Oh and maybe maybe
some people weren't Hell didn't have knowledge of that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Oh got you?

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Okay, yeah, okay, man, But I you know, listen, that
could just be a rumor and hearsay.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
I don't know, could be, could be. Yeah, I'm willing
to give van Halen the benefit of the doubt anyway.
Elsewhere right now. Number twelve Georgia Tech holding on to
a twenty seven to eighteen lead at Duke. They have
a minute in thirteen seconds left to play in the
fourth quarter. Fourteenth ranked Oklahoma Lady got South Carolina twenty

(01:05:47):
four to seven three and a half minutes into the
fourth quarter. Michigan has defeated Washington twenty four to seven.
Big news in Major League Baseball The Athletic reporting that
the San Francisco Giants are closing in on hiring University
of Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vittello as their new manager.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
Oh interesting, yeah. Now.

Speaker 5 (01:06:09):
In eight seasons at Tennessee, Vittello has a seven twenty
two winning percentage, three trips to the College World Series
as well as in National Championship in twenty twenty four.
In the NFL, the Washington Commanders ruled out receiver Deebo
Samuel for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to
a heel injury. NFL media reports the Arizona Cardinals once

(01:06:31):
again planning to start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback against Green Bay,
with Kyler Murray officially questionable due to a spring foot.
A short time ago, the Indianapolis Colts officially placed quarterback
Charvarius Ward on injured reserve due to a concussion. And
with that, Jonas it is all yours.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
By the way, the Colts kind of an interesting run
of pregame injuries. I know Ward has met and then
you saw the Anthony Rigs Anthony Richardson brocas orbital bone. Yes,
it was a resistance band that snapped and hit the
poor guy in the eye. They don't have video of that,
but they did have video of the Charvarius Ward incident.

(01:07:09):
Come to think of it, I'm kind of surprised that
things like that with the resistance bands don't happen more often. Oh,
I used one. It snapped and almost hit me in
the eye, like it just missed because it fires back
so fast. You don't even have a time to react,
and it just blew past me and I was lucky,

(01:07:32):
like it was headed straight from my eye.

Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
Like, and I'm sure that your legions of fans on
social media were relieved that it did not make contact
and that you did not have to go on injured reserve.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
Get well, I mean, come on, like, you know, because
if I hurt my eye, I don't know how I'm
gonna be able to do this shit.

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
Oh that's a good point. I could have hit your
Adam's apple or your larynx. So yeah, you just you
just want to be The problem is for people who
aren't familiar, you do not know your own strength is
the is the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Yeah, I'm with you.

Speaker 5 (01:08:04):
I mean you're on the air so early that leaves
the whole rest of the day to work out. So
what are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Well, I actually work out before during the week. I
work out before the show. Oh that's right, you told
you that. Yeah, wake up before in the morning.

Speaker 5 (01:08:15):
No offense, But that's like pathologically insane, shame on you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
Where do you go?

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
Do you go to the place across the street?

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
No, I do it at home. I have some stuff out. Yeah,
well no, I just have accumulated stuff. You just buy
one thing after another until you get some dumbbells. You
got your uh, your medicine balls. You've got a I've
got an echo bike that I can work on. I've
got bands, I've got you know, I got all sorts
of stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:08:37):
You apparently I have a twenty four fitness in your basement.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
And also you want to play You know who gave
me the idea of this is such a random factoid.
Do you remember that MTV show was called True Life
and basically where MTV would follow everyday people who are
trying to do something and they would follow their journey.
One of the guys actually ended up playing O Lineman.
I think his name Ryan God, I can't think of

(01:09:02):
his name. Okay, he played O Lineman at Notre Dame
and he actually went on to win a Super Bowl
with the Broncos. And he's a broadcast Ryan Harris, No, no, no, yeah,
Ryan Harris and Harris he was. So he was on
MTV's True Life because they were, you know, like, this
is somebody who was a high school football player trying
to make it in college, and so they would follow
like these athletes throughout One of the guys that they

(01:09:23):
followed was this guy who was trying to get into
like fitness competitions. He was this Italian guy on the
East Coast, and I remember seeing in this document I
don't even know, I don't know why this stuck with me,
but I remember seeing this documentary that he was He
would always go work out before work in the morning
when it was dark out, and his thought was, well,

(01:09:45):
there's nobody in the gym at that time. I can
get to whatever I want in a fast amount of time.
And also it gives me this sort of empowerment to
know the most difficult part of my day is already
over and when I'm leaving the gym, I've done the
hard part while everybody else still has to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
And to this day that's how I work. I can't
don't wait till after work when you're tired, do it
before first thing in the morning. Get the hardest part
of the day out of the way first, and then
the rest of the days of breathe.

Speaker 5 (01:10:12):
There is nothing worse than trying to work out in
a crowded gym that has ten thousand treadmills and two
squat racks and people camped out and yeah, I won't
do it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
I won't do it. I cannot do it. Like it
is worth if you can, if you can invest in
some stuff that you can do at home, and if
you've got a little bit, it's like I don't have
a lot of space, but there's a little bit, there's enough.
If you can do that, it is worth the cost
based on the hassle of going to a gym and
then you're waiting on a machine and somebody's looking at
their phone. Yeah, dude, what do we.

Speaker 5 (01:10:47):
Do and take them selfie videos for for ig while
you stare daggers at them.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
I'm with you, man, you know that. And steroids it's
all you need at the Gonis on X, at the
Jonas Knocks on X and you can find us on
Instagram at Jonas Knox Show. By the way, if you've
heard Isaac on the air and you're like, man, that
guy sounds hot, yeah, he's like the original Louisiana hot sauce.

Speaker 5 (01:11:11):
I'm not just radio not just radio hot.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
By the way, hot hot, and the perfect balance of
Pepper's vinegar and salt, wings, nachos, burgers, hit any tailgate
food with the bold handcrafted flavor of the original Louisiana
hot sauce. That's Louisiana hot by you. Some definitely not
hot for Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers who fall
to Vanderbilt thirty one twenty four. Big win for the

(01:11:36):
doors there. So that'll be fun to see how that's covered.
But again, if you wanted to make that coverage better,
just get you some Louisiana hot sauce. At least you
got that going for you. I did want to mention
this first of its kind in the NFL this year,
we have not had a weather game, like an actual
weather game, like we've seen some heat and stuff like that.

(01:11:56):
Maybe there was a lightning delay in a Florida, like
that's what happens, like you know, Tampa or Jackson Billson,
like an actual weather game. Dolphins, Browns first weather game
of the year. Okay, if you're wondering why the point
total in that game is like around thirty four thirty five,
they're expecting rain, some thunderstorms, forty to fifty mile an

(01:12:21):
hour gusts. It is going to be enthralling to now
both teams are bad, like it's bad football, and you're
probably wondering Why didn't you make that your TGFG Game
of the week. Why not that the game? Thank God
for gambling game of the Week. Well, when mother Nature
is the star of the show, at least it's watchable.
It's like watching a snow game. It's like when the

(01:12:43):
elements have an impact that is watchable, especially if there's rain,
wind and everything to go along with it. So first
of its kind this year. If you're wondering, when are
we going to get a weather game, it's fall. The
leaves are turning. We got Browns dolphins tomorrow one o'clock
east in time. That's the place to be, all right.

That's at Jonas Knox Show. On IG I'll put it
up there in the IG stories. Along with that, you

the rude comments that were sent over by listeners not
pleased with the product here today, and all the unedited
versions of all of those because we read what we
can on the air without losing our jobs, and so

(01:14:27):
the other stuff that we could not read on the air.
That's where you can see all of that in full detail.
If you are into the sick and twisted minds of
people upset about the things that we talk about here
on the show. Just a lot going on, man, a
lot going on right now, though, it is time for
something that has been not red hot, but scorching hot

(01:14:49):
over the past month. It's time for this.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Hey, lock it, let's lotch it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
Knox Loucks. Man, oh man, A lot of you clowns
or zi in laws would say, A lot of you
payassos who were making your jokes, making all your comments,
busting balls, making wise cracks about knox Locks. After the
first two weeks of the season. Oh yeah, yeah, I

(01:15:17):
heard you. I heard all of you zero and three
to start out the year one in two and year
in week two off to a one in five start
in knox Locks. I heard all of you. And uh,
I let you guys play house for a little while.
I let you call the shots. I let you do

(01:15:38):
things the way you wanted to do. And then all
of a sudden, Daddy decided he wanted to come home.
And then you heard the car pull up into the driveway,
You heard the door of the car close, you heard
the key enter the lock into the house, and next
thing you know, we started taking over. It was two
in one. After two and one after two and one,

(01:16:02):
and then last week we had the Steelers minus five
and a half against the Browns. That was a win.
We had the Rams minus six and a half against
the Ravens. I'll be honest with you, a little bit
closer than I thought it would be early on, but
that was a win. And then finally the Kansas City
Chiefs on Sunday Night football, thanks to the dirty play

(01:16:25):
of Juju Smith Schuster a two and a half point
favorite against the Lions. That two was a win. A
three and zer week brings us above five hundred for
the first time all year. Ten and eight on the season,
and now it's time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
For this look Eagles and Vikings.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
You know, I was mentioning this earlier. The Eagles really
do live a super Bowl or bus life. A lot
of people claim they are in the NFL, but the
Eagles actually lived that life to where if you're not
winning a super Bowl or going to a Super Bowl
the next year, they don't cut you any slack. There's
conversations about big changes needed to happen, and so I'm
hearing that, and then I'm seeing the Eagles go on

(01:17:09):
the road this week after a little bit of a
mini buy, they call it because they lost on Thursday
night a week and a half. I'm seeing all that,
and I go, you know what, the Eagles are a
point and a half favorite on the road against the Vikings.
I'll take it. I don't mind that JJ McCarthy is
sitting there and he's eased. You know, they're not sure
whether or not he can play. I mean, he's going

(01:17:30):
to be an emergency quarterback back but not quite the starter,
and they're gonna go with Carson Wentz. I get it. Veteran,
I totally understand all that stuff. But let's not forget
where Carson Wentz started his career. And let's not forget
the fact that the Eagles know him way too well.
They know that operation way too well, and Jalen Hurts
has hurt all the whispers. If there's one team that

(01:17:52):
I'm going to rely on to bounce back in the
midst of all the criticism, with a little bit of
extra time to prepare for Brian in that defense, it's
gonna be the Philadelphi Eagles Fly. Eagles Fly minus a
point and a half, Panther said, Jets. Now, if you
listened earlier on the show, as well too. You know
that this was our thank God for gambling game of

(01:18:13):
the week, because if not for gambling, who would be watching?
And so because of that, we're gonna gamble on it.
And guess what we're gonna do. We're gonna take the Jets.
The Jets are getting a point and a half at
home against the Carolina Panthers. I know this, and I
know that everyone feels a little bit better about things
when it comes to Carolina and it comes to you know,

(01:18:34):
Bryce Young and Dave Canalis. I get it, man, I
totally under and I'm with you. Nicest head coach quarterback
combination in the league, as I stated earlier. But let's
slow down here, all right. They're the Carolina Panthers. They
shouldn't be favored over anybody. And the New York Jets
are sitting there needing to get a win, needing to
get a win. They're at home. If not, now, when

(01:18:57):
are they ever gonna get a win this year? I
got the Jets getting point a half at home. Giants
and Broncos speaking of teams on a little bit of
a mini by, remember the last time we saw the Giants,
you got Brian Daball yelling at trainers. You got camp
Skataboo and Jackson Dart just running a monk over Philadelphia
at home, and you're thinking of yourself. Man, they got
this whole thing figured out. This is somebody to deal with. No, No,

(01:19:20):
somebody to deal with is that Broncos defense, especially at home.
Give me the Denver Broncos minus seven at Mile High
against the Giants. And that is your Week seven edition
of Knoxville Knocks. It's been a fun one. Thanks to Ilo,

(01:19:40):
thanks to Bo Benson, thanks to Chris Purfet, and thanks
for everybody who took part in the show here on
Fox Sports Radio and again follow us on Instagram at
the Jonas Knox er ig at Jonas Knox Show. We'll
do it again next week right here on FSR.
