about the return of the NFL. We basically have every
sport under the sun happening this weekend. College football is

I think the w n b A is playing, We

I can't wait for sports to be back this weekend.
I am gonna watch the w n b A, Like, like,

millions of people now who listened to this show on
a regular basis. Is there a single person listening to
my show right now that as we roll into what's
gonna be a long weekend of sporting excess, Is there
(01:11):
anybody that's like, man, I am making sure that I
don't miss I don't even know what's going on in
the w n b A. What do you think is
out there? Is there a single person that is like
that is listening to me right now? I know there's
a single person on the planet because you know, the
w n b A players have moms and dad, so
I'm sure they're the most exciting. Is there a single
person that's listening to me right now that's like I
(01:32):
am gonna I cannot wait for this w n b
A action going on this weekend. Of course you think that,
of course not. Yeah, so like a couple of different
things I want to get into. But you said no,
I mean we do have millions. Now do you think
there's one person out of ten million? Well, I don't
think we have ten million people listening in a month,
but oh over the course of the month, Well I would.
(01:55):
I would just love like, if you are listening to
me right now and you are legitimate, I just is
there a single person like most people are not into
what O'Dell Beckham is allegedly into. I bet there's this.
I bet there's a single person out there who's like, yeah,
good for you, Odell, Amen, brother, If you don't know
what I'm talking about. Odell has been trending all week
(02:16):
for it, uh and allegedly. Uh. There's a couple different
things I want to get into here as we get
ready for the NFL. I'm gonna give you some picks.
First of all, I got like, we finished off the
show Our one, and I was talking about my wife's
financial decisions and the things that she is focused on
for a long time. If I left the water running
(02:39):
to get ready for the shower so that it was warm,
you know, by the time I got in, she'd be like,
what are you doing wasting all that water? And I'm like, wait,
wasting You just spent nine dollars on Lulu Laman or
whatever those things are pants, workout pants, and you're worried
about the eight cents that I just wasted in in
in water dollar by turning it on so it can
(03:00):
get warm. Total mom move. I just well, I and
I'm a total dad in the sense that I walk
around in my house all day every day turning lights off.
This to me is like the quintessential dad move. If
you have kids, Like and I don't know how many
times I've said, hey, when you leave the room, just
if you're not gonna be there, turn the light out.
(03:21):
I don't know how much money I have saved for
my family, it might be thirty six cents this year,
but I will walk around obsessively turning off the lights
all over the house, like because otherwise, I really think
this is true at night when my family goes to bed,
it might as well be Like I mean, it's it's
like the Chevy Chase house on a vacation. The amount
(03:44):
of lights that are left on is crazy. So I
just walk around literally in my house all day long
every day. And I remember my dad doing this when
I was young. Like the dad it seems to me
in the house is the one who just basically turns
off lights all day long. And again, I've probably saved
thirty six cents from my family this year by turning
(04:04):
off the lights, but I don't think anybody would have
ever turned off the lights otherwise. I mean, it just
is infuriating me how much time the lights get left on.
But my wife's inability to like understand overall budgetary issues
and what she gets focused on it blows my mind
often times, like the amount of money that we spend
(04:24):
just like drunken sailors like just I like, I'm like,
how is it possible that we have spent you know,
this much money on yoga classes or you know kids,
uh get like kids like anyway, I just what about
open doors? That was a big thing where my mom
if she was running the air conditioner and we dared
(04:45):
to open the back door, the front door shut, that
door actually open. Your mom is right about that because
my kids will just leave every and I don't even care.
I mean, I don't like the fact that it gets
the hot air comes in or or the by the
way that could be in the winner to your mom
is also paying for the heat, and that's a but
it's the bugs, like how would you how do you
(05:07):
go outside? I was talking about twelve year old about
this the other day because we're about to get the cats,
like the cats are coming to the house, the Bengal cats.
The speaking of wasted plenty. I think these damn cats
cost me like a thousand dollars. I don't even want.
Like the cats have a micro chip in him. I like,
my laptop barely works and I got micro micro chipped cats.
Like I was as I talked about this on the
(05:29):
show the other day, like why why are my cats
gonna be micro chipped? So my wife is going to
pick up these cats. I'm not gonna be able to
breathe anymore in the house. I'm allergic to him. The
whole family has been like during the pandemic. Uh, the
kids were had to do like an informative argument and
my wife had him do uh, had him do it
on why the family needs cats. So we got two
(05:50):
Bengal cats that are coming this weekend and they're micro chipped.
But my wife has been like just all over our
twelve year old because he won't shut the door when
he goes outside. I'm like, how is it not register
in your brain that when you go out? She's been
all over him because she's like, we're gonna lose the cats.
And now I'm terrify. I don't even want the cats.
(06:11):
But now I'm like, if I'm gonna spend a thousand
dollars on a freaking cat and it's micro chip, the
last thing I want to do. It's like, I mean,
I'm gonna have to get on my laptop or my
phone and like find a cat, like tracking it on
the micro chip. I can already know where this is
gonna go. The cats are gonna get out of the house,
and then the kids are gonna be upset because the
cats get out of the house, and then we're gonna
have to make all these uh like find the cat,
(06:33):
you know, like uh, the things for the neighborhood. My
wife's gonna be on Facebook like, hey, have you seen
our cats. I'm gonna be trying to track it like
like you know, like I'm like I'm gonna have my
phone like trying to find the micro target the cats.
And then it's gonna be in somebody's house, like when
somebody steals your phone and you just knock on the
door and you're like, hey, I think my cat's here, Clay,
(06:54):
I don't I have, uh, you know, a pure bred
cat as well. And I was one of the ones
that told you that Bengals were the way to go.
You and I've been in your palacial estate before. I
don't think these Bengals are gonna want to spend time
outside because my cat, once in a while, I'll crack
the door because I'm picking up an Amazon package or something,
and he'll look out there, but then he does a
(07:15):
double taking. It's like nah, it doesn't look so good
out there because he hasn't made inside. He's kicking it
in front of the air conditioner with his food and
his water dish. He's not what the cat. Don't know
the cat is gonna be. Like my kids, they don't
know how much they haven't made. Their version of what
the real world is is so fundamentally artificial. Well maybe
(07:36):
because it's a hundred and twenty degrees outside here, so well,
in California, I might not want to go. I told
my my five year other day. You know, when I
grew up, I had no I had no internet, right,
And she didn't believe He's like the mom, is that true?
And yeah, yeah, that's true. Oh. I mean I've told
this story before, but to me, it's like personifies everything
so uh and and like we live in a really
(07:57):
nice neighborhood now, right, the kind of neighborhood that I
certainly could not have even come close to afford to
live in when I was a kid growing up, right,
And so I've said before when and it's probably a
lot of people listening to who have been in this situation,
but you know, you might drive through a fancy neighborhood
with your parents and like, look at all the really
(08:18):
nice houses, right, or if it's Christmas time, you know,
like the people who have a lot of money to
spend on their lights, Like maybe you don't have that money.
You drive through. I'm conscious of it around Halloween, although
I think my reread bird you idiots out in l A.
Your leadership is not allowing kids to go trick or
treating now the press release, it's, first of all, it's
(08:40):
early September. Do you really need to cancel trick or
treating at the end of October. I told my wife
we have a Halloween party. In addition to the ways
that my wife spends money hand over fist, there's the
amount of Halloween decorations that we have. We have thousands
of dollars now and Halloween decorations in our house. And
she was like, well, with the coronavirus going on, I'm
not sure if I'm going to throw a Hallow. I
(09:01):
was like, we're throwing a Halloween party, all right. If
people are afraid they're gonna die at our Halloween party.
First of all, I mean it's Halloween, so you got
risk everywhere, right, So uh, well, you could wear a
mask in your costume or whatever, like October thirty one
or I guess it's gonna be October. We are throwing
a Halloween party at my house and I was like,
we're just doing it. She's like, I don't know. I
think we might get in trouble. Like now we're throwing
(09:22):
a Halloween party anyway. So I'm the opposite of the
trick or treater people. Right. Yeah, and by the way,
really quick, I have that in front of me. You'll
be happy to hear pumpkin carving is allowed. Not They
actually sent out a list of what you can do
for Halloween. People aren't revolting. If I lived in calif
I think about this all. This is like the bad
Mitten list that we had months ago. Halloween activities. Yeah,
(09:43):
I want to get to that and say But they've
tried to at times be like, hey, do you want
to move to l A. You can work at Fox Sports,
You've got a television show there. It's never really gotten
aggressive in terms of whether I want to move to
l A. But we've had those conversations off and on,
and I like l A. I mean, based on the
time that I've spent out there, I would be driven insane.
I'm not even kidding. If I had had to live
(10:05):
with the restrictions that you guys have had to live
with in l A. And if I was looking back
to where I live now in Nashville in the Tennessee
area and everything that we can do, which is basically
total normal life here and what you're allowed to do there,
I would be losing my mind. So there's a restrictions
on what you can do for Halloween. Yeah, Halloween. They
sent this out. This is from the City of Los
(10:26):
Angeles and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health guidance
for celebrating Halloween. Halloween activities not permitted. Door to door
trick or treating is not allowed. So will they arrest
kids if that happens? Like, what are they? Like? I
understand when they say something's not permitted, But if like
you are living in Los Angeles and you're six year
old wants to walk next door and knock on somebody's
(10:48):
door and say trick or treat, Like, do police just
come out of nowhere and just tackle them and like
put them in cuffs. I mean, what are they gonna
do if your kids? I mean, if your kids in
their neighborhood want to get dressed up for Halloween and
go knock on their neighbor's doors and say trick or treat?
Like how I don't even understand how they say that's
(11:09):
not permitted? Like that is what are they gonna do?
How do they stop that for? Are they gonna arrest parents?
Are they going to confiscate your candy? I mean, I
don't even like and and what cop out there is
actually going to do this? Like I know people are like, oh,
cops are awful human beings, right, that's what people, That's
what athletes want to tell us all the time. Most
cops totally normal, likable. They're listening to us right now,
(11:30):
thank you for what you do. They're not gonna freaking
arrest a parent who's walking around with a kid at
a cost to getting trigger treat Like okay, So this
is lunacy first of all, that they're sending it out
in early September, right, I mean, I can't believe we're here.
But if the president comes out and says trick or
treating is going on, he might gain a million votes nationwide.
(11:51):
Certainly if kids could vote, it would help him because
I mean, are we're gonna have to get Joe Biden
on the record about whether or not trick or treating
should be allowed to I mean, this is crazy, alright,
So not permitted. This is officially from the city of
Los Angeles, from not in the state of California, or
is it the city of all It is l A county,
all right, it says. And they give a little explanation
on why they're banning door to door trick or treating.
(12:12):
It says, because everybody's going to die of the coronavirus.
Because it can be very difficult to maintain proper social
distancing on porches and at front doors, especially in neighborhoods
that are popular with trick or treaters also not permitted.
Trunk or treating events where children go from car to
car instead of door to door to receive treats are
also not allowed. Gatherings are parties with non household members
(12:35):
are not permitted, even if they are conducted outdoors. Carnivals, festivals,
live entertainment, and haunted house attractions are not allowed. All
that stuff is open where I am. I don't think
we have and it's not like I'm listening to the
government tell me exactly what I can do from one
moment to the next. But where we live, like we
can have a party, so it's not prohibited. Although the
(12:56):
idea that the government can tell you whether or not
you can have a party at your house is that's crazy,
Like like if I want to have twenty people over
to my house to have a barbecue, like the idea
that the government could show up and be like, sorry,
that's not permitted, sir. I mean, I mean it's crazy
to me. People in Los Angeles County are not going
to follow this, yeh. I mean I'm just blame him.
(13:18):
I mean, I'm taking my kids trick or treating. There
is a list for the permitted activities. What can you
do online? Parties, slash contests e g. Costume or pumpkin carving.
So the internet that the government is allowing you to
get on the internet allowing zoom parties, I guess is
pumpkin carving on? But you want to know, Like imagine
(13:40):
if somebody was like, Hey, I'm gonna carve my pumpkin,
do you want to get on zoom and watch me?
I'm like you psycho, No, I want you to go
to prison because there's no telling what else you're into
if you think that I want to watch you carve
a pumpkin on Zoo count to ten and presenter. Maybe
Adell's into that. Halloween movie nights at drive in theaters.
How Halloween theme meals at outdoor restaurants, Halloween themed art
(14:03):
installations at an outdoor museum, dressing up homes and yards
with Halloween them decorations. Your tax dollars in the city
of Los Angeles are going to some losers sitting around
coming up with a like allowed activity list for Halloween.
I mean, that's just crazy for me to think about
that there are people who would listen to this. So
(14:25):
the Halloween party, We're gonna have a Halloween party. And
we got all these Halloween decorations. Every year, my wife
spends god knows how much on new Halloween decorations. The
fact that my kids are even willing or able to
walk around the house, Like sometimes I'm scared because I'm
up early in the morning and you know, like out
of the corner of my eye, like we got ghosts
and ghouls and like terrifying looking things like standing all
(14:45):
over the house. And it's you know, four fifteen in
the morning, and I'm walking through and like some of
them move like their motion activated, and so it's pitch
black dark in the house and like suddenly I walked
by and there's a ghost that comes alive. So and
so for people out or like, you know, you drive
The story I was telling was you you drive through
sometimes like oh, this is a great neighborhood for Halloween decorations,
(15:07):
or this is a great neighborhood for Christmas lights. And
this is point talking about wasting money. Like my wife
priced out you know what it would have for somebody
to do Christmas lights, for instance, for our house, and
thankfully she came back and she was like, this is
too much and I'm not willing to pay that. And
I was like, how much is it? She was like, oh,
(15:27):
the guy wanted five grand to put Christmas lights all
over I'm like five grand to put Christmas lights all
over our house. But so having like super good displays
of Christmas lights or Halloween like it's expensive, right, and
not only does it take a lot of money, it
can take a lot of time. So wealthier neighborhoods typically
have like better Christmas decorations, better places to go trick
(15:50):
or treating. Like I'm conscious of that I live in
one of those neighborhoods now, the kind of neighborhood I
couldn't afford to live in when I was a kid.
So we would get in the car. Sometimes you drive
through the neighborhood and you're like, oh, imagine would be
to live in that house, or oh wow, look at
how you know massive that place is, or what a
neighborhood like stuff like that. We would do that occasionally
when I was a kid. And so we were walking
home recently, this has been probably a year or two
(16:11):
years whatever. We were walking home recently from a birthday
party in the neighborhood and my kids were complaining because
the the neighbor that we went to had a trampoline
in the backyard and uh, and how come we didn't
have a trampoline in the backyard and all these things
and how you know how you know, like as a kid,
it doesn't matter how much stuff you have, somebody else
(16:33):
always going to have more. And I'm like, okay, this
is an important parenting opportunity for me. And I was like,
you know, your dad and your mom like when we
were kids growing up, we used to drive around and
look at the houses like that we live in now,
where people with money live, and we'd be like, oh,
can you imagine what it would be to live in
a house like that, And you know, we didn't have
(16:55):
a lot of the things that you have, and you know,
running through a list of all the things that they
have and how they should be happy and fortunate. This
is with my two oldest who were younger now than
they are, but they were still young, and it's a
whole list of all the things and the reasons that
they should be incredibly thankful for the things that they have.
And how you know Dad and Mom never had the
stuff that they had when they were growing up. I mean,
(17:16):
I didn't get into you know, we had to walk
up hill four miles both ways, you know, like like
uh like uh. It might be the case now. Although
my wife, who grew up in Michigan, has made a
big deal about standing outside for the bus and how
you know she would walk in blizzards and they never
shut down for snow and everything else. I mean, you
would think that she lived in the you know, the
Arctic and an igloo by the time she finishes the
(17:37):
story about how cold it was standing for the bus
and anyway, so we're walking through talking about you know,
I'm pointing out all the neighborhood and I'm like, you know,
your dad and your mom we were young, we would
ride around in cars and wonder what it might be
like to live in a big house like you guys
get to live in now. And I mean, I'm just thinking,
I killed it. And this is in response to why
we don't have a trampoline and you know, in the
(17:58):
backyard and all this stuff. And I'm like, man, I
have just this is the greatest parenting job I've ever done.
These kids are gonna remember this forever, like they are gonna,
you know, when they're seventy eight years old, they're gonna
be sitting around like, you know, the reason why I
had success in life was when I was eight, you know,
when when I was five. You know, the kids are talking,
They're like, my dad sent me down and pointed out
(18:19):
how a good bunch of good fortune we had and
how hard work is important and all this stuff, and
I'm just letting them have it. I'm like, this is
gonna be like they're gonna learn, They're never gonna know. Uh,
They're gonna remember this day for the rest of their lives.
So I met I, you know, finished with this stirring conclusion.
I'm like, you know, you get to live in the
house now that your dad and your mom used to
wonder what it would be like to live in one day.
(18:42):
And I finished with that like summation, and I'm like,
the kids are quiet for a second. I'm like, man,
I have rocked their world this. They're gonna remember this
day forever. And so I've just finished saying, you know,
you get to live in a house that your dad
and mom used to drive through neighborhoods and wonder what
it would be like to live in one day. And
my oldest kid, I swear to guy, he like there's
a long pause, and I'm thinking, like, I've just absolutely
(19:04):
nailed it. He's like, well, Dad, now you know, I
go went through this entire list about how fortunate they
were and how dad and mom used to wonder what
it was like to live in a big house and
like a nice neighborhood. And I'll be damned if my
kid doesn't immediately say, well, Dad, now you know, now
(19:26):
you know like all that lesson that I thought I
had taught to him about all the advantages and privileges
he had and what he took away was now dad
knows what it's like to live in a nice house,
so you can't win, Like, I don't know what it
was like. I think about this now, I'm like, I'm
working twenty hours a day. I got like ten different
companies that were running and uh and and you know,
(19:49):
things are going pretty well from a financial perspective, and
I'm like, these three knuckleheads that I have in the house,
they're just gonna waste it all. I mean, they're like,
after I'm dead, they're just gonna like there's no tell
like that I'm all this money that I am trying
to make that eventually they're gonna inherit. They're gonna just
blow it all, like all the work that I've done.
Like I was talking about wife the other day, I'm like,
(20:09):
do we really need to make more money? I'm like,
I don't really question like the decision making that our
twelve year old and are nine year old and are
five year old to have now, Like do we think
they're gonna make better decisions when they have money? Like
they're just gonna waste everything. I don't know. So anyway,
that's uh, That's what I'm thinking about. When did you
did your wife got get the new Poloton bike? Already?
(20:31):
Of course we got the Pelot. I mean, if you could,
we got a Peloton. I've got like TRX will probably
get the mirror. Like, I don't know. I don't think
there's a single thing that you can sign up for
in America that we're not signed up for. Yeah, that like,
and to be fair, like I think I talked about
this on the radio the other day, like we couldn't
remember what the Amazon password was, and inevitably, like there's
(20:55):
fifty billion things going on, and my wife's like, hey,
do you remember what the Amazon password is? I'm no,
you know, She's like gold log me out of the phone.
I don't like that. I think conservatively, since the coronavirus started,
we've had four billion packages arrive at our house from
things that my wife is Amazon, right, So no, I'm like, no,
I don't remember, and my password is registered on an
(21:16):
old email address, and I don't know the password to
get into the old email address, so I have to
get But in order to get the password to Amazon,
I have to get through like six different emails and
like six different other passwords in order to get so
I was like, just sign up for a new Amazon account.
Just keep your passwords away from dub well yeah, well yeah,
no kidding double still. But I was like my wife
was like what I was like, just sign up for
(21:38):
your own Amazon Prime account. It's like, I was like,
it's ninety nine dollars for the year. She's like, you're
telling me, And so we got into a fight over
whether me telling her to have her own Amazon Prime accounts,
like you want there to be two Amazon Prime accounts
for the house. And I was like, if it means
that you never asked me again what the password is
for Amazon, I want you to have your own Amazon
(21:58):
Prime account and I'll have my my own Amazon Prime account. Yes,
I'm fine with that, And I think there's probably gotta
be a lot of people out there that are like
and then you get into an argument, and I'm like,
it would have been worth I would have just given
you a hundred dollars right now out of my wallet
not to have this argument. And that's not a good
position to be in either. Um, and probably this is
(22:20):
probably gonna be a good position for me to be
in either because on the off chance that my wife
is actually listening to the show right now, driving one
of our kids to school. I'll probably hear about this later.
So my wife is lovely, my greatest woman's ever existing
on the plan, better looking now that she wasn't we
got married sixteen years ago, but probably also spending money
like a drunken sailor right now on perfumes and yoga
(22:42):
pants and things that I don't even understand how we
use them. Be sure to catch live editions about Kicked
the coverage with Clay Travis week days at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific. So I'm trying to catch my breath
after getting upstairs. Don't want to pass out. I think
it might happen sometime. I might pass out coming upstairs,
so fast have to sit down talk on the radio.
Jeff is with us now. Jeff, first of all, who's
(23:05):
your super Bowl pick? Right off the top here before
we get super Bowl picks? What is your wife spend
money on that drives you crazy? Everything Like we have
like a little um we have a spinal staircase and
there's just there's nothing right, kind of like in the
fourier right there. So she just one day just st
start her stone up, like just a chair and a
table and a lamp, Like, we don't need any of
(23:27):
that stuff like that. There's no purpose for there looking
at it right now, there's no purpose to have like
a little sitting area there. No one's gonna sit there. Ever,
there's something to do there. You should you should just
like start make that your location. Just a driver crazy
now that you have a sitting area and a chair there,
like you should be like, I think that's gonna be
(23:48):
my office. I'm not allowed to sit in a punchet like.
She says that she wants her our family room to
look like no one actually sits in any of the furniture. Yeah,
I don't understand that. So all the time, let's off.
I mean, I guess I spend money too and stuff,
but like just random stuff like that, you just just
bord and have to spend money. And what's funny she
works school time. I don't know how why does she
get support? Yeah, I mean, I I don't understand it.
(24:12):
Um that we were just we said a big segment
on like the thing that I do that. I think
that's the other question. We can probably do a whole
show on this and just open up the phone line someday.
But what is the thing you do that is the
most dad thing that you do? Like, to me, the
most dad thing that I do is turn out the
lights all over the house, Like after my kids go
(24:32):
in and leave a room, they never turned the lights out,
Like I just walk around turning out lights all day.
And I'm like, this is the most dad thing that
I do. Oh, it's good question. Um Um, I don't
mean before we go, better than I walk around and
check the dowors we shouldn't have walked. And that's the
normal thing to do. Um. Oh, man, I should go
(24:55):
my life on the phone. I don't know what. I
don't know. I mean, I feel like I just do
normal stuff and I'm sure it's a dad I mean,
my dad. Here's a good example of a dad thing
you just talked about, walking around checking the doors my dad.
My parents live in our neighborhood, so they live in
a condo. I mean, they obviously don't have kids like
their their lifestyle is not as uh not as wild
(25:15):
as ours. So a lot of times we leave, you know,
and we go on vacation or we're out of town
for a weekend or something, and uh, and my dad
will come over and he walks around our house and
checks to see if we have locked all the doors
in the house, and like, you know, like I mean
that's like he's literally still following around. And actually, so
(25:36):
we have a garage like a garage door opener, and
we will leave the door inside of the garage unlocked.
He has locked us out on vacation like three or
four times where we come back. We come back home
from vacation, you know, like we have a car airport
or whatever, we pull in, open the open the garage,
get out, like or driving somewhere or whatever, and we
(25:59):
try to get into our house and my dad has
locked us out of our own house. Like so we
have to call my dad to come back over and
actually let us back in the house. Because he just
goes around locking all the doors in my house all
the time. And then he'll like he'll talk to other
people and be like I went by Clay's house they
went on vacation, there were three unlocked doors in the house.
Like he keeps track of how many doors are locked
(26:21):
or unlocked in the house. Like when we leave, he
comes over, he has a key to the house you
unlocks and he walks in. He just walks around trying
to see whether or not the doors are locked. I
don't have a house. I don't know. I don't like
so basically I either just you know, we have like
coats for doors and stuff. So like if the battery
would go out of the lock on the or the
(26:42):
alarm system like went to haywire, I wouldn't get in
my house. I mean, we we go in and out
through our garage. So I have a opener, you know,
on the garage door. But every now and then, like
I'll get back and you know, like I'll like, like
my kid will take the garage door opener to go
play with his friends or something, and it won't put
it back in my car. And sometimes I'll just pull
(27:05):
up and I can't get in my house, and so
I'll just be like, I don't like, it's not like
I have a business to run or anything else, and
I'm just sitting outside of the house waiting for somebody
else to come back and let me in. Yeah, that's
why don't you get You can get one of those
to get one of those things, or you uh code
you have on the side of the door. You can
put a code in yeah, but I don't trust anything
(27:26):
that has technology in it. I know we could, we
talked about doing that, but like inevitably, something goes wrong,
Like the other day the fire department showed up in
my house and the police and everything. I was like,
what in the world's going on? And it was because
we have an alarm that I didn't know was working, uh,
and like it had gone off. And then I don't
answer phones if like it's somebody's trying to call me
for from a number that I don't recognize because I'm
(27:46):
afraid it's some radio show and they want me to
come on. So unless I have your name programmed in
my phone, I will not answer the phone if it rings.
So they were trying to call me, and then I
don't know the pass word anyway, so like I wouldn't
be able to. I don't know what the password is
on our alarm. So I come out of the shower
and like the firemen they're all there, like you know,
(28:08):
like in the house and you don't know. Like I
always feel like like I don't have to the half
of my phone my wife does, like I don't. I
can't control with cameras and the alarm on my phone.
I at least know the four digit pas. Oh. No,
I don't have any idea, like I I I don't
want any information that is like extraneous that I'm responsible for.
(28:29):
Like I just went downstairs right now, and my wife
was like, hey, did you just change the cable package.
I'm like, I have no idea how to change the
cable package. So inevitably, like she spent two hours on
the phone with Comcast the other day because this is
actually pretty funny and they should spend money again with me.
I got a promotional rate on Comcast because I was
(28:50):
doing ads for them on local radio like eight years ago,
and they didn't realize that I wasn't still doing ads
for them, So I got the promotional for like eight
years in a row, like I got every channel, I
got like everything, you know, like for eight years in
a row. And then we got an email the other
day from Comcast and they were like, hey, we realized
(29:10):
that you haven't been doing ads for us for seven
years and you've still been getting the promotional rate. Like
we're gonna have to end your promotional rate. And my
wife came in and she was like, you need to
get Comcast to spend more money with you because we're
using Comcast. And I was like, I don't know how
that stuff works. And I was like, you know, you're
She was like, well, we're gonna have to pay you know,
whatever our full rate is. Now it didn't end up being,
(29:31):
you know, like an exorbitant number, but I was like,
you know that, like in order to try to get
Comcast to spend money. First of all, I don't do
ad sales for the radio show, but inevitably we're like,
I'm not going to give away you know, ads on
the show for a relatively small amount of money so
that we get free king. Yeah, anyway, especially not after
(29:53):
we got basically eight or not. It might be ten
years that we've been getting free basic Comcast because we
were on as a promoter. That's incredible. Good for you.
So they I they finally caught me, and I was like.
My wife was like, well, what are you gonna say?
And I was like, I can't believe it took him
ten years to realize that I wasn't doing answer that's
the right answer, Yeah, I mean I basically put my
kids through college without having to pay for gable. Um,
(30:15):
all right, so your brother is playing tonight for the Chiefs.
All right, bigger storyline Friday. What happens before the game
or the game itself. It's a good question, and it's
a valid question. Um. I will say the game itself,
because I don't know how much they're gonna show the kneeling.
(30:36):
Like we had a period obviously in sixteen seventeen when
it was showed often, players were still kneeling. Last year
it just wasn't shown on TV. Now the question becomes, obviously,
we've had an off season where we've had a lot
of unrest in our country, and I would imagine that
I think it's NBC tonight they would discuss it a
little bit. But I'm curious to see how much they
show with it. I mean, look, they're gonna show the
(30:57):
answer because of the first game of the year, so
we're gonna see some kneling obvious. But up to them
to figure out how much they want to talk about it, right,
I mean, Collinsworth and Michael's I don't have to talk
about it. They don't want to, or maybe they know
they're going to be terrified. They're two old white guys.
They're gonna be terrified if they don't talk about it,
that they're gonna get ripped to the high heavens, so
they're gonna have to have some sort of awkward, scripted
(31:19):
conversation about how awful they feel about racism. But if
it's one time, if it's like at the start of
the game, and they address it then and the game
then moves only, I think they'll be fine. I think
then we'll talk about the game. Have you talked about
this with your brother at all? Like, do you think
the whole team is gonna make it? Like Neil? Like,
I have no idea. I mean, in the Chiefs in
(31:39):
general are a conservative franchise, and UM, I do not
think that, um, they would. I think the owner would
allow it, but I don't think that it would be
something that would be I don't know what's the right
word to say, but they would allow it if the
players want to do it, but they would probably encourage
(31:59):
them to. UM and we'll see. Look, I want to play.
This is the thing a lot of players at the time,
you know when when um, when the NBA was coming back,
you know, in in May and June, and there was
a lot of talk about social justice of how the
players are going to handle it a little players, I'm
gonna take a knee. I'm gonna go, Briant said, I
think I think the head coaches texts like I'm gonna
(32:19):
tak it kneed. It's been months now. I'm curious to
see if Bill O'Brien is gonna do it. First of all,
whether or not players are are still as uh as
passionate about taking your knee. I think still passionate about
the topic obviously, but taking your knees of whole different stories.
So I'm curious to see what happens. But I thought,
can you come back with us and talk about the
(32:40):
actual game in the final segment. Yes, Fox Sports Radio
has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch
all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com

R to listen live. Jeff shorts with us A. Jeff,
do you think Drew Brees is going to have like
a hundred and if the different people's names on his
(33:01):
helmet that he thinks was shot on justly just to
make sure he doesn't get criticized. I don't think so.
That's what. Yeah, we were like, we were at the
dinner last night and Jason Whitlock was like, I think
Drew Brees helmet is gonna look like the Ohio State
Buckeye helmet is just gonna happen, gnames everywhere. Like this
dude is so gun shy over what did happen during
the national anthem after the way that he backpedaled got
(33:22):
criticized for everything that he said before. He's gonna have
people he's gonna I think he's gonna have a hundred
and fifty names. I think he's gonna have like all
the way back, like Whitlock said, he might have Ko
Takine's name on there. I don't know he's gonna have
everybody covered. I don't think he's gonna happen. I only
he's gonna have that, and I think that. I mean,
I'm curious to see what, you know, what players do
with that look. The NBA obviously has been on. Now
(33:43):
would you get like, so, how nervous would you be
as a white guy if you were playing in the NBA? Like,
what would you do? Like because everybody's looking I feel
like at the white guys more than anything right now.
So would you have a name on your helmet? Would
you kneel like and how much of it which you
just feel based on pressure, Like what do you think
you would do for the start of the game if
(34:04):
you were still playing. It's a great question and it's
much easier to look at it now with moving back.
And I was in the moment, because I mean I
was I was out in the NFL, but I was.
I just was on a roster of that training camp.
You know, I think what's gonna happen. There's definitelyly be
eyes on the people that that don't kneel if the
entire team decides to do it right tonight, for example,
(34:26):
it's just twelve Chiefs players in fifteen texts didn't I
don't think it's a story of who did not kneel.
But if it's forty five Chiefs players and you ten
don't kneel, then those ten are gonna have to, unfortunately
probably explain why they don't needl And I think that
is something that that is a is a is a
concern um for the players that don't because again it's
it's optional. You don't have to be shouldn't be forced
(34:48):
into into doing it. Um, what do you think you
would have done? Like it's easy to answer now because
you're not actually playing, but like, what do you and
and obviously you weren't in the locker room and all
those things. There's obviously a bunch of different levels. But
what you think you would do if you were on
the field tonight, If it was if the team decided
to do it, I would do it as as a team.
If there was it was it was individual decision, I
(35:09):
would not. I mean I was not one to um
to you know, rock the boat to have any extra
eyes on me. I mean just the offensive alignment, but
just kind of my position with the team, I was
never able to really um to do that. So I would, uh,
I would. I would do what the team did if
the team decided, you know, I take a knee as
part of the team. If it was an individual choice,
(35:30):
I would stand up. That's that's what I would done.
Who is going to win the night? What happens in
the actual game. I'm in the chief should win this game.
I think the number is super high. I mean nine
is super contest number. That that just skills. That's that's
the highest spread this weekend. This is two playoff teams. Um.
I think the overs in play tonight too. I think
that that bad tackling, Like, yes, bad tackling. And the
(35:53):
Chiefs are just so fast and offense they're totals thirty one.
It's a ton of point thirty one and a half.
I soti, I think maybe thirty two. I think a
lot of points of score tonight. The tackling in the
NFL is going to be a coach. How about this.
You can use this later today. In the walkout year,
the first two weeks of season, the overs were twenty two,
nine and one. That's a great stat. And that's just
(36:14):
because the practice when the teams weren't prepared on the
defensive side of the ball more so than offense. Can't tackle. Yep, Oh,
that's awesome. That's a great stat. I'm gonna steal it,
and I'm gonna be like, hey, I was doing a
bunch of reason. I say that Unlock Fox bet Live tonight.
I was doing a bunch of research looking back at
the stats for two thousand and eleven. Uh, good stuff.
We'll be watching and we'll talk to you next week. Alright,
(36:34):
all right, Uh that is Jeff Schwartz. All right, when
we come back, we're gonna quickly give you our Super
Bowl picks, and then the Attorney General of Ohio is
gonna join us. He is saying that Ohio State should
sue the Big Ten because they are not being allowed
to play fall college football and that he thinks the
Buckeyes would have a case to recoup tens of millions
(36:58):
of dollars in damages over their season not taking place.
We're going to discuss that with him. Also give you
some Super Bowl picks. This is OutKick on Fox Sports Radio.

Sports Radio. So we got a lot to be excited
about the return of the NFL. We basically have every
sport under the sun happening this weekend. College football is
gonna be back. We got the NBA, the NHL, MLS,
I think the w n b A is playing, We
got the U S open. Do you think there's anybody
(00:47):
out there in my listening audience right now who's like, man,
I can't wait for sports to be back this weekend.
I am gonna watch the w n b A, Like, like,
is there a single person listening right now? We got
millions of people now who listened to this show on
a regular basis. Is there a single person listening to
my show right now that as we roll into what's
gonna be a long weekend of sporting excess, Is there
(01:11):
anybody that's like, man, I am making sure that I
don't miss I don't even know what's going on in
the w n b A. What do you think is
out there? Is there a single person that is like
that is listening to me right now? I know there's
a single person on the planet because you know, the
w n b A players have moms and dad, so
I'm sure they're the most exciting. Is there a single
person that's listening to me right now that's like I
(01:32):
am gonna I cannot wait for this w n b
A action going on this weekend. Of course you think that,
of course not. Yeah, so like a couple of different
things I want to get into. But you said no,
I mean we do have millions. Now do you think
there's one person out of ten million? Well, I don't
think we have ten million people listening in a month,
but oh over the course of the month, Well I would.
(01:55):
I would just love like, if you are listening to
me right now and you are legitimate, I just is
there a single person like most people are not into
what O'Dell Beckham is allegedly into. I bet there's this.
I bet there's a single person out there who's like, yeah,
good for you, Odell, Amen, brother, If you don't know
what I'm talking about. Odell has been trending all week
(02:16):
for it, uh and allegedly. Uh. There's a couple different
things I want to get into here as we get
ready for the NFL. I'm gonna give you some picks.
First of all, I got like, we finished off the
show Our one, and I was talking about my wife's
financial decisions and the things that she is focused on
for a long time. If I left the water running
(02:39):
to get ready for the shower so that it was warm,
you know, by the time I got in, she'd be like,
what are you doing wasting all that water? And I'm like, wait,
wasting You just spent nine dollars on Lulu Laman or
whatever those things are pants, workout pants, and you're worried
about the eight cents that I just wasted in in
in water dollar by turning it on so it can
(03:00):
get warm. Total mom move. I just well, I and
I'm a total dad in the sense that I walk
around in my house all day every day turning lights off.
This to me is like the quintessential dad move. If
you have kids, Like and I don't know how many
times I've said, hey, when you leave the room, just
if you're not gonna be there, turn the light out.
(03:21):
I don't know how much money I have saved for
my family, it might be thirty six cents this year,
but I will walk around obsessively turning off the lights
all over the house, like because otherwise, I really think
this is true at night when my family goes to bed,
it might as well be Like I mean, it's it's
like the Chevy Chase house on a vacation. The amount
(03:44):
of lights that are left on is crazy. So I
just walk around literally in my house all day long
every day. And I remember my dad doing this when
I was young. Like the dad it seems to me
in the house is the one who just basically turns
off lights all day long. And again, I've probably saved
thirty six cents from my family this year by turning
(04:04):
off the lights, but I don't think anybody would have
ever turned off the lights otherwise. I mean, it just
is infuriating me how much time the lights get left on.
But my wife's inability to like understand overall budgetary issues
and what she gets focused on it blows my mind
often times, like the amount of money that we spend
(04:24):
just like drunken sailors like just I like, I'm like,
how is it possible that we have spent you know,
this much money on yoga classes or you know kids,
uh get like kids like anyway, I just what about
open doors? That was a big thing where my mom
if she was running the air conditioner and we dared
(04:45):
to open the back door, the front door shut, that
door actually open. Your mom is right about that because
my kids will just leave every and I don't even care.
I mean, I don't like the fact that it gets
the hot air comes in or or the by the
way that could be in the winner to your mom
is also paying for the heat, and that's a but
it's the bugs, like how would you how do you
(05:07):
go outside? I was talking about twelve year old about
this the other day because we're about to get the cats,
like the cats are coming to the house, the Bengal cats.
The speaking of wasted plenty. I think these damn cats
cost me like a thousand dollars. I don't even want.
Like the cats have a micro chip in him. I like,
my laptop barely works and I got micro micro chipped cats.
Like I was as I talked about this on the
(05:29):
show the other day, like why why are my cats
gonna be micro chipped? So my wife is going to
pick up these cats. I'm not gonna be able to
breathe anymore in the house. I'm allergic to him. The
whole family has been like during the pandemic. Uh, the
kids were had to do like an informative argument and
my wife had him do uh, had him do it
on why the family needs cats. So we got two
(05:50):
Bengal cats that are coming this weekend and they're micro chipped.
But my wife has been like just all over our
twelve year old because he won't shut the door when
he goes outside. I'm like, how is it not register
in your brain that when you go out? She's been
all over him because she's like, we're gonna lose the cats.
And now I'm terrify. I don't even want the cats.
(06:11):
But now I'm like, if I'm gonna spend a thousand
dollars on a freaking cat and it's micro chip, the
last thing I want to do. It's like, I mean,
I'm gonna have to get on my laptop or my
phone and like find a cat, like tracking it on
the micro chip. I can already know where this is
gonna go. The cats are gonna get out of the house,
and then the kids are gonna be upset because the
cats get out of the house, and then we're gonna
have to make all these uh like find the cat,
(06:33):
you know, like uh, the things for the neighborhood. My
wife's gonna be on Facebook like, hey, have you seen
our cats. I'm gonna be trying to track it like
like you know, like I'm like I'm gonna have my
phone like trying to find the micro target the cats.
And then it's gonna be in somebody's house, like when
somebody steals your phone and you just knock on the
door and you're like, hey, I think my cat's here, Clay,
(06:54):
I don't I have, uh, you know, a pure bred
cat as well. And I was one of the ones
that told you that Bengals were the way to go.
You and I've been in your palacial estate before. I
don't think these Bengals are gonna want to spend time
outside because my cat, once in a while, I'll crack
the door because I'm picking up an Amazon package or something,
and he'll look out there, but then he does a
(07:15):
double taking. It's like nah, it doesn't look so good
out there because he hasn't made inside. He's kicking it
in front of the air conditioner with his food and
his water dish. He's not what the cat. Don't know
the cat is gonna be. Like my kids, they don't
know how much they haven't made. Their version of what
the real world is is so fundamentally artificial. Well maybe
(07:36):
because it's a hundred and twenty degrees outside here, so well,
in California, I might not want to go. I told
my my five year other day. You know, when I
grew up, I had no I had no internet, right,
And she didn't believe He's like the mom, is that true?
And yeah, yeah, that's true. Oh. I mean I've told
this story before, but to me, it's like personifies everything
so uh and and like we live in a really
(07:57):
nice neighborhood now, right, the kind of neighborhood that I
certainly could not have even come close to afford to
live in when I was a kid growing up, right,
And so I've said before when and it's probably a
lot of people listening to who have been in this situation,
but you know, you might drive through a fancy neighborhood
with your parents and like, look at all the really
(08:18):
nice houses, right, or if it's Christmas time, you know,
like the people who have a lot of money to
spend on their lights, Like maybe you don't have that money.
You drive through. I'm conscious of it around Halloween, although
I think my reread bird you idiots out in l A.
Your leadership is not allowing kids to go trick or
treating now the press release, it's, first of all, it's
(08:40):
early September. Do you really need to cancel trick or
treating at the end of October. I told my wife
we have a Halloween party. In addition to the ways
that my wife spends money hand over fist, there's the
amount of Halloween decorations that we have. We have thousands
of dollars now and Halloween decorations in our house. And
she was like, well, with the coronavirus going on, I'm
not sure if I'm going to throw a Hallow. I
(09:01):
was like, we're throwing a Halloween party, all right. If
people are afraid they're gonna die at our Halloween party.
First of all, I mean it's Halloween, so you got
risk everywhere, right, So uh, well, you could wear a
mask in your costume or whatever, like October thirty one
or I guess it's gonna be October. We are throwing
a Halloween party at my house and I was like,
we're just doing it. She's like, I don't know. I
think we might get in trouble. Like now we're throwing
(09:22):
a Halloween party anyway. So I'm the opposite of the
trick or treater people. Right. Yeah, and by the way,
really quick, I have that in front of me. You'll
be happy to hear pumpkin carving is allowed. Not They
actually sent out a list of what you can do
for Halloween. People aren't revolting. If I lived in calif
I think about this all. This is like the bad
Mitten list that we had months ago. Halloween activities. Yeah,
(09:43):
I want to get to that and say But they've
tried to at times be like, hey, do you want
to move to l A. You can work at Fox Sports,
You've got a television show there. It's never really gotten
aggressive in terms of whether I want to move to
l A. But we've had those conversations off and on,
and I like l A. I mean, based on the
time that I've spent out there, I would be driven insane.
I'm not even kidding. If I had had to live
(10:05):
with the restrictions that you guys have had to live
with in l A. And if I was looking back
to where I live now in Nashville in the Tennessee
area and everything that we can do, which is basically
total normal life here and what you're allowed to do there,
I would be losing my mind. So there's a restrictions
on what you can do for Halloween. Yeah, Halloween. They
sent this out. This is from the City of Los
(10:26):
Angeles and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health guidance
for celebrating Halloween. Halloween activities not permitted. Door to door
trick or treating is not allowed. So will they arrest
kids if that happens? Like, what are they? Like? I
understand when they say something's not permitted, But if like
you are living in Los Angeles and you're six year
old wants to walk next door and knock on somebody's
(10:48):
door and say trick or treat, Like, do police just
come out of nowhere and just tackle them and like
put them in cuffs. I mean, what are they gonna
do if your kids? I mean, if your kids in
their neighborhood want to get dressed up for Halloween and
go knock on their neighbor's doors and say trick or treat?
Like how I don't even understand how they say that's
(11:09):
not permitted? Like that is what are they gonna do?
How do they stop that for? Are they gonna arrest parents?
Are they going to confiscate your candy? I mean, I
don't even like and and what cop out there is
actually going to do this? Like I know people are like, oh,
cops are awful human beings, right, that's what people, That's
what athletes want to tell us all the time. Most
cops totally normal, likable. They're listening to us right now,
(11:30):
thank you for what you do. They're not gonna freaking
arrest a parent who's walking around with a kid at
a cost to getting trigger treat Like okay, So this
is lunacy first of all, that they're sending it out
in early September, right, I mean, I can't believe we're here.
But if the president comes out and says trick or
treating is going on, he might gain a million votes nationwide.
(11:51):
Certainly if kids could vote, it would help him because
I mean, are we're gonna have to get Joe Biden
on the record about whether or not trick or treating
should be allowed to I mean, this is crazy, alright,
So not permitted. This is officially from the city of
Los Angeles, from not in the state of California, or
is it the city of all It is l A county,
all right, it says. And they give a little explanation
on why they're banning door to door trick or treating.
(12:12):
It says, because everybody's going to die of the coronavirus.
Because it can be very difficult to maintain proper social
distancing on porches and at front doors, especially in neighborhoods
that are popular with trick or treaters also not permitted.
Trunk or treating events where children go from car to
car instead of door to door to receive treats are
also not allowed. Gatherings are parties with non household members
(12:35):
are not permitted, even if they are conducted outdoors. Carnivals, festivals,
live entertainment, and haunted house attractions are not allowed. All
that stuff is open where I am. I don't think
we have and it's not like I'm listening to the
government tell me exactly what I can do from one
moment to the next. But where we live, like we
can have a party, so it's not prohibited. Although the
(12:56):
idea that the government can tell you whether or not
you can have a party at your house is that's crazy,
Like like if I want to have twenty people over
to my house to have a barbecue, like the idea
that the government could show up and be like, sorry,
that's not permitted, sir. I mean, I mean it's crazy
to me. People in Los Angeles County are not going
to follow this, yeh. I mean I'm just blame him.
(13:18):
I mean, I'm taking my kids trick or treating. There
is a list for the permitted activities. What can you
do online? Parties, slash contests e g. Costume or pumpkin carving.
So the internet that the government is allowing you to
get on the internet allowing zoom parties, I guess is
pumpkin carving on? But you want to know, Like imagine
(13:40):
if somebody was like, Hey, I'm gonna carve my pumpkin,
do you want to get on zoom and watch me?
I'm like you psycho, No, I want you to go
to prison because there's no telling what else you're into
if you think that I want to watch you carve
a pumpkin on Zoo count to ten and presenter. Maybe
Adell's into that. Halloween movie nights at drive in theaters.
How Halloween theme meals at outdoor restaurants, Halloween themed art
(14:03):
installations at an outdoor museum, dressing up homes and yards
with Halloween them decorations. Your tax dollars in the city
of Los Angeles are going to some losers sitting around
coming up with a like allowed activity list for Halloween.
I mean, that's just crazy for me to think about
that there are people who would listen to this. So
(14:25):
the Halloween party, We're gonna have a Halloween party. And
we got all these Halloween decorations. Every year, my wife
spends god knows how much on new Halloween decorations. The
fact that my kids are even willing or able to
walk around the house, Like sometimes I'm scared because I'm
up early in the morning and you know, like out
of the corner of my eye, like we got ghosts
and ghouls and like terrifying looking things like standing all
(14:45):
over the house. And it's you know, four fifteen in
the morning, and I'm walking through and like some of
them move like their motion activated, and so it's pitch
black dark in the house and like suddenly I walked
by and there's a ghost that comes alive. So and
so for people out or like, you know, you drive
The story I was telling was you you drive through
sometimes like oh, this is a great neighborhood for Halloween decorations,
(15:07):
or this is a great neighborhood for Christmas lights. And
this is point talking about wasting money. Like my wife
priced out you know what it would have for somebody
to do Christmas lights, for instance, for our house, and
thankfully she came back and she was like, this is
too much and I'm not willing to pay that. And
I was like, how much is it? She was like, oh,
(15:27):
the guy wanted five grand to put Christmas lights all
over I'm like five grand to put Christmas lights all
over our house. But so having like super good displays
of Christmas lights or Halloween like it's expensive, right, and
not only does it take a lot of money, it
can take a lot of time. So wealthier neighborhoods typically
have like better Christmas decorations, better places to go trick
(15:50):
or treating. Like I'm conscious of that I live in
one of those neighborhoods now, the kind of neighborhood I
couldn't afford to live in when I was a kid.
So we would get in the car. Sometimes you drive
through the neighborhood and you're like, oh, imagine would be
to live in that house, or oh wow, look at
how you know massive that place is, or what a
neighborhood like stuff like that. We would do that occasionally
when I was a kid. And so we were walking
home recently, this has been probably a year or two
(16:11):
years whatever. We were walking home recently from a birthday
party in the neighborhood and my kids were complaining because
the the neighbor that we went to had a trampoline
in the backyard and uh, and how come we didn't
have a trampoline in the backyard and all these things
and how you know how you know, like as a kid,
it doesn't matter how much stuff you have, somebody else
(16:33):
always going to have more. And I'm like, okay, this
is an important parenting opportunity for me. And I was like,
you know, your dad and your mom like when we
were kids growing up, we used to drive around and
look at the houses like that we live in now,
where people with money live, and we'd be like, oh,
can you imagine what it would be to live in
a house like that, And you know, we didn't have
(16:55):
a lot of the things that you have, and you know,
running through a list of all the things that they
have and how they should be happy and fortunate. This
is with my two oldest who were younger now than
they are, but they were still young, and it's a
whole list of all the things and the reasons that
they should be incredibly thankful for the things that they have.
And how you know Dad and Mom never had the
stuff that they had when they were growing up. I mean,
(17:16):
I didn't get into you know, we had to walk
up hill four miles both ways, you know, like like
uh like uh. It might be the case now. Although
my wife, who grew up in Michigan, has made a
big deal about standing outside for the bus and how
you know she would walk in blizzards and they never
shut down for snow and everything else. I mean, you
would think that she lived in the you know, the
Arctic and an igloo by the time she finishes the
(17:37):
story about how cold it was standing for the bus
and anyway, so we're walking through talking about you know,
I'm pointing out all the neighborhood and I'm like, you know,
your dad and your mom we were young, we would
ride around in cars and wonder what it might be
like to live in a big house like you guys
get to live in now. And I mean, I'm just thinking,
I killed it. And this is in response to why
we don't have a trampoline and you know, in the
(17:58):
backyard and all this stuff. And I'm like, man, I
have just this is the greatest parenting job I've ever done.
These kids are gonna remember this forever, like they are gonna,
you know, when they're seventy eight years old, they're gonna
be sitting around like, you know, the reason why I
had success in life was when I was eight, you know,
when when I was five. You know, the kids are talking,
They're like, my dad sent me down and pointed out
(18:19):
how a good bunch of good fortune we had and
how hard work is important and all this stuff, and
I'm just letting them have it. I'm like, this is
gonna be like they're gonna learn, They're never gonna know. Uh,
They're gonna remember this day for the rest of their lives.
So I met I, you know, finished with this stirring conclusion.
I'm like, you know, you get to live in the
house now that your dad and your mom used to
wonder what it would be like to live in one day.
(18:42):
And I finished with that like summation, and I'm like,
the kids are quiet for a second. I'm like, man,
I have rocked their world this. They're gonna remember this
day forever. And so I've just finished saying, you know,
you get to live in a house that your dad
and mom used to drive through neighborhoods and wonder what
it would be like to live in one day. And
my oldest kid, I swear to guy, he like there's
a long pause, and I'm thinking, like, I've just absolutely
(19:04):
nailed it. He's like, well, Dad, now you know, I
go went through this entire list about how fortunate they
were and how dad and mom used to wonder what
it was like to live in a big house and
like a nice neighborhood. And I'll be damned if my
kid doesn't immediately say, well, Dad, now you know, now
(19:26):
you know like all that lesson that I thought I
had taught to him about all the advantages and privileges
he had and what he took away was now dad
knows what it's like to live in a nice house,
so you can't win, Like, I don't know what it
was like. I think about this now, I'm like, I'm
working twenty hours a day. I got like ten different
companies that were running and uh and and you know,
(19:49):
things are going pretty well from a financial perspective, and
I'm like, these three knuckleheads that I have in the house,
they're just gonna waste it all. I mean, they're like,
after I'm dead, they're just gonna like there's no tell
like that I'm all this money that I am trying
to make that eventually they're gonna inherit. They're gonna just
blow it all, like all the work that I've done.
Like I was talking about wife the other day, I'm like,
(20:09):
do we really need to make more money? I'm like,
I don't really question like the decision making that our
twelve year old and are nine year old and are
five year old to have now, Like do we think
they're gonna make better decisions when they have money? Like
they're just gonna waste everything. I don't know. So anyway,
that's uh, That's what I'm thinking about. When did you
did your wife got get the new Poloton bike? Already?
(20:31):
Of course we got the Pelot. I mean, if you could,
we got a Peloton. I've got like TRX will probably
get the mirror. Like, I don't know. I don't think
there's a single thing that you can sign up for
in America that we're not signed up for. Yeah, that like,
and to be fair, like I think I talked about
this on the radio the other day, like we couldn't
remember what the Amazon password was, and inevitably, like there's
(20:55):
fifty billion things going on, and my wife's like, hey,
do you remember what the Amazon password is? I'm no,
you know, She's like gold log me out of the phone.
I don't like that. I think conservatively, since the coronavirus started,
we've had four billion packages arrive at our house from
things that my wife is Amazon, right, So no, I'm like, no,
I don't remember, and my password is registered on an
(21:16):
old email address, and I don't know the password to
get into the old email address, so I have to
get But in order to get the password to Amazon,
I have to get through like six different emails and
like six different other passwords in order to get so
I was like, just sign up for a new Amazon account.
Just keep your passwords away from dub well yeah, well yeah,
no kidding double still. But I was like my wife
was like what I was like, just sign up for
(21:38):
your own Amazon Prime account. It's like, I was like,
it's ninety nine dollars for the year. She's like, you're
telling me, And so we got into a fight over
whether me telling her to have her own Amazon Prime accounts,
like you want there to be two Amazon Prime accounts
for the house. And I was like, if it means
that you never asked me again what the password is
for Amazon, I want you to have your own Amazon
(21:58):
Prime account and I'll have my my own Amazon Prime account. Yes,
I'm fine with that, And I think there's probably gotta
be a lot of people out there that are like
and then you get into an argument, and I'm like,
it would have been worth I would have just given
you a hundred dollars right now out of my wallet
not to have this argument. And that's not a good
position to be in either. Um, and probably this is
(22:20):
probably gonna be a good position for me to be
in either because on the off chance that my wife
is actually listening to the show right now, driving one
of our kids to school. I'll probably hear about this later.
So my wife is lovely, my greatest woman's ever existing
on the plan, better looking now that she wasn't we
got married sixteen years ago, but probably also spending money
like a drunken sailor right now on perfumes and yoga
(22:42):
pants and things that I don't even understand how we
use them. Be sure to catch live editions about Kicked
the coverage with Clay Travis week days at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific. So I'm trying to catch my breath
after getting upstairs. Don't want to pass out. I think
it might happen sometime. I might pass out coming upstairs,
so fast have to sit down talk on the radio.
Jeff is with us now. Jeff, first of all, who's
(23:05):
your super Bowl pick? Right off the top here before
we get super Bowl picks? What is your wife spend
money on that drives you crazy? Everything Like we have
like a little um we have a spinal staircase and
there's just there's nothing right, kind of like in the
fourier right there. So she just one day just st
start her stone up, like just a chair and a
table and a lamp, Like, we don't need any of
(23:27):
that stuff like that. There's no purpose for there looking
at it right now, there's no purpose to have like
a little sitting area there. No one's gonna sit there. Ever,
there's something to do there. You should you should just
like start make that your location. Just a driver crazy
now that you have a sitting area and a chair there,
like you should be like, I think that's gonna be
(23:48):
my office. I'm not allowed to sit in a punchet like.
She says that she wants her our family room to
look like no one actually sits in any of the furniture. Yeah,
I don't understand that. So all the time, let's off.
I mean, I guess I spend money too and stuff,
but like just random stuff like that, you just just
bord and have to spend money. And what's funny she
works school time. I don't know how why does she
get support? Yeah, I mean, I I don't understand it.
(24:12):
Um that we were just we said a big segment
on like the thing that I do that. I think
that's the other question. We can probably do a whole
show on this and just open up the phone line someday.
But what is the thing you do that is the
most dad thing that you do? Like, to me, the
most dad thing that I do is turn out the
lights all over the house, Like after my kids go
(24:32):
in and leave a room, they never turned the lights out,
Like I just walk around turning out lights all day.
And I'm like, this is the most dad thing that
I do. Oh, it's good question. Um Um, I don't
mean before we go, better than I walk around and
check the dowors we shouldn't have walked. And that's the
normal thing to do. Um. Oh, man, I should go
(24:55):
my life on the phone. I don't know what. I
don't know. I mean, I feel like I just do
normal stuff and I'm sure it's a dad I mean,
my dad. Here's a good example of a dad thing
you just talked about, walking around checking the doors my dad.
My parents live in our neighborhood, so they live in
a condo. I mean, they obviously don't have kids like
their their lifestyle is not as uh not as wild
(25:15):
as ours. So a lot of times we leave, you know,
and we go on vacation or we're out of town
for a weekend or something, and uh, and my dad
will come over and he walks around our house and
checks to see if we have locked all the doors
in the house, and like, you know, like I mean
that's like he's literally still following around. And actually, so
(25:36):
we have a garage like a garage door opener, and
we will leave the door inside of the garage unlocked.
He has locked us out on vacation like three or
four times where we come back. We come back home
from vacation, you know, like we have a car airport
or whatever, we pull in, open the open the garage,
get out, like or driving somewhere or whatever, and we
(25:59):
try to get into our house and my dad has
locked us out of our own house. Like so we
have to call my dad to come back over and
actually let us back in the house. Because he just
goes around locking all the doors in my house all
the time. And then he'll like he'll talk to other
people and be like I went by Clay's house they
went on vacation, there were three unlocked doors in the house.
Like he keeps track of how many doors are locked
(26:21):
or unlocked in the house. Like when we leave, he
comes over, he has a key to the house you
unlocks and he walks in. He just walks around trying
to see whether or not the doors are locked. I
don't have a house. I don't know. I don't like
so basically I either just you know, we have like
coats for doors and stuff. So like if the battery
would go out of the lock on the or the
(26:42):
alarm system like went to haywire, I wouldn't get in
my house. I mean, we we go in and out
through our garage. So I have a opener, you know,
on the garage door. But every now and then, like
I'll get back and you know, like I'll like, like
my kid will take the garage door opener to go
play with his friends or something, and it won't put
it back in my car. And sometimes I'll just pull
(27:05):
up and I can't get in my house, and so
I'll just be like, I don't like, it's not like
I have a business to run or anything else, and
I'm just sitting outside of the house waiting for somebody
else to come back and let me in. Yeah, that's
why don't you get You can get one of those
to get one of those things, or you uh code
you have on the side of the door. You can
put a code in yeah, but I don't trust anything
(27:26):
that has technology in it. I know we could, we
talked about doing that, but like inevitably, something goes wrong,
Like the other day the fire department showed up in
my house and the police and everything. I was like,
what in the world's going on? And it was because
we have an alarm that I didn't know was working, uh,
and like it had gone off. And then I don't
answer phones if like it's somebody's trying to call me
for from a number that I don't recognize because I'm
(27:46):
afraid it's some radio show and they want me to
come on. So unless I have your name programmed in
my phone, I will not answer the phone if it rings.
So they were trying to call me, and then I
don't know the pass word anyway, so like I wouldn't
be able to. I don't know what the password is
on our alarm. So I come out of the shower
and like the firemen they're all there, like you know,
(28:08):
like in the house and you don't know. Like I
always feel like like I don't have to the half
of my phone my wife does, like I don't. I
can't control with cameras and the alarm on my phone.
I at least know the four digit pas. Oh. No,
I don't have any idea, like I I I don't
want any information that is like extraneous that I'm responsible for.
(28:29):
Like I just went downstairs right now, and my wife
was like, hey, did you just change the cable package.
I'm like, I have no idea how to change the
cable package. So inevitably, like she spent two hours on
the phone with Comcast the other day because this is
actually pretty funny and they should spend money again with me.
I got a promotional rate on Comcast because I was
(28:50):
doing ads for them on local radio like eight years ago,
and they didn't realize that I wasn't still doing ads
for them, So I got the promotional for like eight
years in a row, like I got every channel, I
got like everything, you know, like for eight years in
a row. And then we got an email the other
day from Comcast and they were like, hey, we realized
(29:10):
that you haven't been doing ads for us for seven
years and you've still been getting the promotional rate. Like
we're gonna have to end your promotional rate. And my
wife came in and she was like, you need to
get Comcast to spend more money with you because we're
using Comcast. And I was like, I don't know how
that stuff works. And I was like, you know, you're
She was like, well, we're gonna have to pay you know,
whatever our full rate is. Now it didn't end up being,
(29:31):
you know, like an exorbitant number, but I was like,
you know that, like in order to try to get
Comcast to spend money. First of all, I don't do
ad sales for the radio show, but inevitably we're like,
I'm not going to give away you know, ads on
the show for a relatively small amount of money so
that we get free king. Yeah, anyway, especially not after
(29:53):
we got basically eight or not. It might be ten
years that we've been getting free basic Comcast because we
were on as a promoter. That's incredible. Good for you.
So they I they finally caught me, and I was like.
My wife was like, well, what are you gonna say?
And I was like, I can't believe it took him
ten years to realize that I wasn't doing answer that's
the right answer, Yeah, I mean I basically put my
kids through college without having to pay for gable. Um,
(30:15):
all right, so your brother is playing tonight for the Chiefs.
All right, bigger storyline Friday. What happens before the game
or the game itself. It's a good question, and it's
a valid question. Um. I will say the game itself,
because I don't know how much they're gonna show the kneeling.
(30:36):
Like we had a period obviously in sixteen seventeen when
it was showed often, players were still kneeling. Last year
it just wasn't shown on TV. Now the question becomes, obviously,
we've had an off season where we've had a lot
of unrest in our country, and I would imagine that
I think it's NBC tonight they would discuss it a
little bit. But I'm curious to see how much they
show with it. I mean, look, they're gonna show the
(30:57):
answer because of the first game of the year, so
we're gonna see some kneling obvious. But up to them
to figure out how much they want to talk about it, right,
I mean, Collinsworth and Michael's I don't have to talk
about it. They don't want to, or maybe they know
they're going to be terrified. They're two old white guys.
They're gonna be terrified if they don't talk about it,
that they're gonna get ripped to the high heavens, so
they're gonna have to have some sort of awkward, scripted
(31:19):
conversation about how awful they feel about racism. But if
it's one time, if it's like at the start of
the game, and they address it then and the game
then moves only, I think they'll be fine. I think
then we'll talk about the game. Have you talked about
this with your brother at all? Like, do you think
the whole team is gonna make it? Like Neil? Like,
I have no idea. I mean, in the Chiefs in
(31:39):
general are a conservative franchise, and UM, I do not
think that, um, they would. I think the owner would
allow it, but I don't think that it would be
something that would be I don't know what's the right
word to say, but they would allow it if the
players want to do it, but they would probably encourage
(31:59):
them to. UM and we'll see. Look, I want to play.
This is the thing a lot of players at the time,
you know when when um, when the NBA was coming back,
you know, in in May and June, and there was
a lot of talk about social justice of how the
players are going to handle it a little players, I'm
gonna take a knee. I'm gonna go, Briant said, I
think I think the head coaches texts like I'm gonna
(32:19):
tak it kneed. It's been months now. I'm curious to
see if Bill O'Brien is gonna do it. First of all,
whether or not players are are still as uh as
passionate about taking your knee. I think still passionate about
the topic obviously, but taking your knees of whole different stories.
So I'm curious to see what happens. But I thought,
can you come back with us and talk about the
(32:40):
actual game in the final segment. Yes, Fox Sports Radio
has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch
all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com
and within the I Heart Radio app. Search f s
R to listen live. Jeff shorts with us A. Jeff,
do you think Drew Brees is going to have like
a hundred and if the different people's names on his
(33:01):
helmet that he thinks was shot on justly just to
make sure he doesn't get criticized. I don't think so.
That's what. Yeah, we were like, we were at the
dinner last night and Jason Whitlock was like, I think
Drew Brees helmet is gonna look like the Ohio State
Buckeye helmet is just gonna happen, gnames everywhere. Like this
dude is so gun shy over what did happen during
the national anthem after the way that he backpedaled got
(33:22):
criticized for everything that he said before. He's gonna have
people he's gonna I think he's gonna have a hundred
and fifty names. I think he's gonna have like all
the way back, like Whitlock said, he might have Ko
Takine's name on there. I don't know he's gonna have
everybody covered. I don't think he's gonna happen. I only
he's gonna have that, and I think that. I mean,
I'm curious to see what, you know, what players do
with that look. The NBA obviously has been on. Now
(33:43):
would you get like, so, how nervous would you be
as a white guy if you were playing in the NBA? Like,
what would you do? Like because everybody's looking I feel
like at the white guys more than anything right now.
So would you have a name on your helmet? Would
you kneel like and how much of it which you
just feel based on pressure, Like what do you think
you would do for the start of the game if
(34:04):
you were still playing. It's a great question and it's
much easier to look at it now with moving back.
And I was in the moment, because I mean I
was I was out in the NFL, but I was.
I just was on a roster of that training camp.
You know, I think what's gonna happen. There's definitelyly be
eyes on the people that that don't kneel if the
entire team decides to do it right tonight, for example,
(34:26):
it's just twelve Chiefs players in fifteen texts didn't I
don't think it's a story of who did not kneel.
But if it's forty five Chiefs players and you ten
don't kneel, then those ten are gonna have to, unfortunately
probably explain why they don't needl And I think that
is something that that is a is a is a
concern um for the players that don't because again it's
it's optional. You don't have to be shouldn't be forced
(34:48):
into into doing it. Um, what do you think you
would have done? Like it's easy to answer now because
you're not actually playing, but like, what do you and
and obviously you weren't in the locker room and all
those things. There's obviously a bunch of different levels. But
what you think you would do if you were on
the field tonight, If it was if the team decided
to do it, I would do it as as a team.
If there was it was it was individual decision, I
(35:09):
would not. I mean I was not one to um
to you know, rock the boat to have any extra
eyes on me. I mean just the offensive alignment, but
just kind of my position with the team, I was
never able to really um to do that. So I would, uh,
I would. I would do what the team did if
the team decided, you know, I take a knee as
part of the team. If it was an individual choice,
(35:30):
I would stand up. That's that's what I would done.
Who is going to win the night? What happens in
the actual game. I'm in the chief should win this game.
I think the number is super high. I mean nine
is super contest number. That that just skills. That's that's
the highest spread this weekend. This is two playoff teams. Um.
I think the overs in play tonight too. I think
that that bad tackling, Like, yes, bad tackling. And the
(35:53):
Chiefs are just so fast and offense they're totals thirty one.
It's a ton of point thirty one and a half.
I soti, I think maybe thirty two. I think a
lot of points of score tonight. The tackling in the
NFL is going to be a coach. How about this.
You can use this later today. In the walkout year,
the first two weeks of season, the overs were twenty two,
nine and one. That's a great stat. And that's just
(36:14):
because the practice when the teams weren't prepared on the
defensive side of the ball more so than offense. Can't tackle. Yep, Oh,
that's awesome. That's a great stat. I'm gonna steal it,
and I'm gonna be like, hey, I was doing a
bunch of reason. I say that Unlock Fox bet Live tonight.
I was doing a bunch of research looking back at
the stats for two thousand and eleven. Uh, good stuff.
We'll be watching and we'll talk to you next week. Alright,
(36:34):
all right, Uh that is Jeff Schwartz. All right, when
we come back, we're gonna quickly give you our Super
Bowl picks, and then the Attorney General of Ohio is
gonna join us. He is saying that Ohio State should
sue the Big Ten because they are not being allowed
to play fall college football and that he thinks the
Buckeyes would have a case to recoup tens of millions
(36:58):
of dollars in damages over their season not taking place.
We're going to discuss that with him. Also give you
