Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's give this.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I am told by Iowa Sam that we have like
eighteen minutes to take phone calls whatever you want to
talk about Wednesday, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
So wizzy, I want to see if I'm following you
correctly down this Anthony Edwards path, because I believe.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That you're talking about Ricardo's haircut.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You are obsessed with Ricardo's hair. He looks great. I mean, yes,
this is the best born out Ricardo was look since
we started.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
But he usually wears a hat, so you can tell
he's really proud of this. But the thing I love
about this haircut, it's not only like pristine like twenty
twenty six, can walk anywhere with that haircut, but he
also looks like he could be starring in like a
Grease musical and like just fall into like the nineteen
fifties perfectly, because it's like perfectly like I would say,
Sean Sherania would be proud of this haircut, like that's
(01:11):
how good this haircut is.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
And Stu, he's wearing a soccer kit as they call,
not a soccer jersey, a soccer kit. Yes, and it
has the collar. It's a franch jersey. The collar on
his kit.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's a France kit.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, it looks like like photo day here at Fox
Sports Radio right now.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It's like a real collar and everything.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Wait a second, Ricardo, did you get a haircut for
the big soccer game today?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I mean, well, it is the semi finals, stud got
so I had to look good?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, it would have no comment to that.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Trust for the job you want exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And we all know the semi finals more important than
the final, right, I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
This is the finals pretty much.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh, it is really the finals before the final. Huh.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
It's the rare Champions League semi final. That's the Champions
League final, huh.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Kind of like Arizona Michigan in the final four.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
People are just discounting Arsenal, do they, So that's the
team that's in the final.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Declan Rice yep, Arsenal did, and they.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Have no shot. Regardless of who makes it through to
the finals.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
They should, but Arsenal's main focus right now is on
the Premier League, which they haven't won in quite some time.
So it's it's kind of like a pick your poison
for this Arsenal team where they're probably focusing all their
attention on. It's the rare team that's in the Champions
League final that might have their eyes elsewhere.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
But it isn't Declan Rice having such a good season
that they're even talking about them about, you know, winning
the ball or whatever, the balloon ball.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
So I'm gonna be honest with you guys right here
in a moment of transparency. We're so far into this
soccer talk right now that I don't even know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, that's a problem with soccer. There are too many leagues.
Everyone's confused. You're telling me there's a semi final that happens,
it's a final before a final. It's a league, it's
a different league. There's this league, that league, the World Cup.
It's all confusing. I love that, though.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Taylor's like, please, no more questions, please. I don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
That one does. I mean, the players have no idea
what league they're playing in.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Ercardo asked me who I thought was gonna win, and
I essentially told him the German League.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Do you think it's going to win the Super Bowl?
And I said the NFL.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Tip of the cap.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
We'll get to your calls here in a second eight seven,
seven ninety nine one Fox. So if Anthony Edward can
beat San Antonio right now, he's back and he's coming
off the bench, Edwards, and perhaps he'll start moving forward.
But that creates a storyline for the NBA with web beat.
Right has to come back, has to work harder, has
to do it better, has to be better. Right has
to make that climb. Then goes on to beat Oklahoma City,
(03:40):
which makes everyone happy because Oklahoma City does not win
back to back NBA champions championships because no one wants
that team.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
As an NBA dynast, and I would say even greater,
it would be a victory for ethical hoops, right, because
it's not you know, asking for fout, begging for fouls
and all this stuff. It's just I'm Anthony Edwards. I
can get a shot off whenever I want to and
I'm ridiculously clutched.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And here's the other thing. So the Knicks, who I
have already in the NBA Finals, Nick fans would love
that he'd get a standing ovation because the Knicks are
now facing a Timberwolf's team that Nick fans feel like
they could beat, as opposed to Oklahoma City where Nick
fans are like, hey, we have no shot. So I
think if this all plays out, you're right. He saves
the NBA and the Knicks win in five and he
(04:24):
gets Finals MVP.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Like, imagine, imagine how star studded Madison Square Garden is
going to be for an NBA Finals, and yet Anthony
Edwards would emerge as the biggest star right because of
his performance. I mean, and he's just his look. I
should hate Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards did the thing where
he was like, saw a line of you know, gay
man a thing and said, oh what is this world
(04:48):
coming to and decided to post that on the internet.
I should hate the guy, yes, but I see him
as a young guy with a lot to learn and
a very willingness to right. I think he has that
ability to and he's just always going to be himself
He's going to be very personable but always be true
to himself, and I think he's impossible not to like.
(05:09):
And so if he just not only with his style
of play, but with his personality, comes out on top
after you know what we've been saying, Oh it's Jokers year,
Oh it's Shay's year.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Oh it's Wemby's year.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
And it's Anthony Edwards out of this sixth seed with
a bunch of defenders around him.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
That I mean, that would do so much for him.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
What is he just did there by the way, is
make it impossible for you to dislike Anthony Edwards?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, basically because he was right.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
If any is wired to dislike Anthony Edwards, it would
be as real Goodyerres and he's telling you he likes him,
go ahead tell him.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
And it would be a very star studed event in
Madison Square Garden, unless there was another met Gala. Then
then Ben Stiller would miss it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That phony.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I mean, I just don't understand the met Gala, to
be honest, Like, first of all, it's like the Tour
de France to me. It comes around every year and
I'm like, oh, I didn't know it was that sneaks
up on now. Yeah, it definitely sneaks up on you.
And then it's just like I don't, can't, I don't.
I mean, it's a fundraiser, but it's really just so
you can be seen in these clothes.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
You guys are rich. You can be seen in these
clothes whenever you want.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Just put it on.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Just put it on, and then put it on social
same thing.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I gotta tell you, man, I see I see all
these celebrities at the Derby. I want to go. I'm
not big you know, horse racing, it's dead. I'm not
big bod. I am big on partying, and that just
looks like a massive party. Man.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
I think that's the Preakness.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
No, no, I think it was definitely the Derby party,
all of them. Well, the Derby is where Tom Brady
was falling down drunk right, and where Wes Welker was
supposedly on Molly.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And was handing out my allegedly yes, allegedly.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm sorry, allegedly, not supposedly, I'm really I'm very thankful.
By the way. Speaking of a sort of tailor situation,
like don't ask any more soccer questions, there was a
caller and the subject line set Pelican's head coach search
and I got nothing on it, and so thankfully that
person has fallen off. But maybe we should take one
of these others.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, the caller has dropped. Let's go out to uh Mark,
who's in Miami today, Marco, I had your on Fellas.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I agree with your sentiment. Sga. As great as he is,
he doesn't have to do it. But I blame the
rests more because if they're gonna fall for that bait
of foul baiting, he's gonna do it every time. And
your skills in and great as he is offensively, and
he's probably as good as anybody in the league right
now inside a KD, he can sell that call. So
(07:24):
I blame the rest more than that. I just I
just really hope they get taken out. And I agree
with you on at Man. I just love the way
how unfiltered and raw he is. Sometimes they'll get him
in trouble, but the guy's so damn entertaining. But another
guy I really enjoys, Cake Cunningham. Maybe he's not as
flashy as ant Man, but I think overall game you
can make a you can make a strong argument that
(07:45):
he's better than a man. It's just that he's not
as flashy, and he doesn't he's not as unfiltered or raw,
but he doesn't flop do anything. He's just an ultimate gamer.
He's just every single play. I just love it as
a Nick fit And excuse me as a Heath fan
who hate the Knicks, I would. I really Brunson does
some at times, but I just love way his bulldog
mentality being an undersized guard, the way he attacks and
(08:07):
just goes that guy's and and and the way he
just his ultimate will of being a second round guy
who was expected to be a ninth or tenth guy
off the bench. I mean, I can't believe I'm saying
this as an event about the Knicks, but I really
enjoy watching them. They're they're kind of interested stating cats.
Even though he's off the wall, when he gets going
man and that macha the garden's rocking, it'd be entertaining.
(08:30):
So I just I just think the sentiment to okay, see.
As great as they are, I just I don't think
that a lot of people enjoy them at all, and
it would be hopefully I'm hoping whoever it is a man,
preferably even the Spurs to somebody take them out because
with this new CBA. In fact, I'm just hoping they're
gonna lose a lot of their guys in their dynasty
is not gonna be attacked. So I think they're gonna
(08:50):
start losing some guys starting this year because they've already
maxed out Sga, Jalen Williams and another Sea. So it's
gonna be great to watch. Thanks for the time, bellas all.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Right, thank you, Mark, call again, please whenever you want
about whatever you want. This is why I came back
to sports radio out of it. There are different types
of callers. Mark is the type of caller who calls
in and just does whatever the hell he wants. I
mean the show that he wants to do. That's the show.
And I said, hey, it's whatever you want Wednesday, so
you can talk about whatever you want. But Mark, I'm
(09:19):
telling you, you could do that on a Thursday, Friday,
Monday and Tuesday whenever you want. Okay, You're always whatever
you want apparently for how long you want.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, I don't care, get it all.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yes, he was doing his show.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
He mentioned Kid Cunningham and I thought, you know, in
terms of like the potential finals opponent for Anthony Edwards.
It would very much be like the the Michael Jordan
path of having to get over the tough defensive Pistons
team with the all world point guard.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Now with Kate, I could tell you someone who watched
his first Pistons game last night. Kate Cunningham is good.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
That was your first game last night? In the post,
I am terrified of the Pistons.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I want nothing.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Let's go Calves now the Pistons for me.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
We have the close your eyes test where I asked
you guys to close your eyes and imagine something. Yeah,
the Pistons don't pass the close your eyes test because
close your eyes and imagine Tobias Harris as the second
option for a title team.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
My eyes were wide open and I couldn't believe what
he was doing in the first round. Yeah, okay, because
he was actually being the guy and doing it well.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yes, Mikey, since.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Taylor likes to bring up all his takes, that he
was right. I believe the Knicks didn't pass.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
To close your eyes test when we did that. That's true.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Yeah, that is no, the Knicks didn't.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
No, So the close your eyes test for the Knicks
was close your eyes and imagine Karl Anthony Town's winning
a title.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, yes, well, now close your eyes, can't imagine he's well,
he's on the neck.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Has anything changed? Try again?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Yeah, you know what, in the spirit of accountability. When
I closed my eyes, I could kind of pitch your cap.
I could see the thirty two in the outline of him.
His face isn't filled in yet, but we're starting to
get that picture.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I can't believe he was in Devilware is product too.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
You know the take he never remind you of mikeyy
that he hates this Yankee team and they've won seventeen.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I believe least favorite, not hate. It's my least favorite. Yes,
they won seventeen of nineteen.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Listen, all the fathers out there know you have a
least favorite kid. If you have more than one kid,
you have a least favorite kid. Doesn't mean you love
that kid any less, but you have a least favorite.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I don't wow, this is.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Like when your least favorite kids. He's succeeding really well,
but the sport is like badminton.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
This kid, I know tell it was trying to set
me up for the joke. There I wasn't wanting to
do it. My kids are graduating this weekend.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yes, listen, I'm speaking as I'm speaking as a guy
with no kids.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
All the dads out there know they have a least favorite.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Night, don't they twins? Yes, yeah, it can't be. You
can't have at least.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Favorite Yeah, well you can. Let's go out to Kelly
in North Carolina. Kelly, go ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Do you think Fernando Mendoza saved Carlos Mendoza job by
having by making.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The last name look good unfortunately?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yes, I mean it is a good time to be
a mendoes it. It's never been a better time's incredibility.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yes, let's go Thank you for the call, Kelly. Let's
go to John, who's in Maine today. John, go ahead,
you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Hey, guys, loving the show. I Uh, when I watched
the Kentucky Derby, My wife and I used to watch
the Kentucky Derby and we'd always have a private vet
between the two of us and we'd pick a horse.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
She died three years ago, and I still watch a
Kentucky Derby and I'd still pick a horse. So this year.
I watched and I picked Great White, and I looked
up at the heavens. I said, okay, honey, you know
and uh, all of a sudden, I see on the TV.
I went and got a drink and I'd come back
(13:00):
and it's like my horse flipped sober and knocked the
shock you off and they scratched them. And I'm like,
out of all those horses, I picked the one that
decided to have an attitude adjustment.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
That was your wife making sure you didn't win.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Yes, exactly right, because our private bet was if she won,
she had to make love to me and if I
made if I want, I had to make love to her.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Win. When I am going to try yes, I'm going
to try it tonight.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
What's the horse race?
Speaker 9 (13:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I don't care what the bet is.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'll lose.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That was such a great line. That is your wife,
even in the afterlife, still getting the best of you,
just like Yeah, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
That is eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yes, No, I just had something to read if you
want me to.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh no, I thought we have five more minutes here.
I mean, I was saying, we don't know any time. No,
we have time for calls. I mean they're wide lines
right now. I just clear them out. Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. That is eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, because of course, we are killing time
here until we try until Bob Chesney joins us and
tries to convert us all to UCLA Brewin football fans.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Are we sure he's not related to Kenny Chesney?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I have no idea should be the first question? Or well,
probably probably not? Okay, I think Kenny Chesney might be
joining us on the show. Actually, really, how about that? Yeah,
he's got a concert, he's got some uh, he's got
a residency at the Sphere. He also just wrote a
book and he's been on with me several times before.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
What we need is a podcast with Bob Chesney and
Kenny Chesney and it's called a couple of Chesney's.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
What else would you call it?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I don't know what they would talk about, but listen
at least of the first episode.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
All right, I wants to play a game of one table,
So Iowa, Sam Dpoy, get that music ready, please.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
There's one table left at the hottest spot in town,
and everybody wants it who's getting it and who's getting
left outside Greatness gets seated, everyone else waits.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
This is one table.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
It sounds like Sam was that Sam?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
No? No. We played this game earlier today with t
Bob from Barstool check it out on Stegott's company the
show We do.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Before the show, and thank you so much for making
this a restaurant with one table left instead of a
restaurant with just one table.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
It's a terrible business model. Go ahead, Dylan, So this
one is tough. The tables in South ben Indiana Wow,
And in walks Marcus Freeman, and in walks michaelock ooh
sor yeah. Notre Dame's first family.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So it's Marcus Freeman, the coach who hasn't won a
national championship.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah, hasn't really figured out.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
His hair, against Mike Golick, who I don't think won
a national championship when he was at Notre Dame's hair
looks great, but he is part of the first family.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Of Notre Dame Iconic sports show. M M fact.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm guessing Golic had you know, a voice when they
hired Marcus Freeman. It made that decision, yes, and Freeman
should get gold at the table out of respect. But Golick,
being the nice guy that he is, would give Marcus
to the table. This is a tough one.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
This is very tough because, like I'm imagining who would
be more okay standing outside? Like who would look more
just okay with it? And I'm sorry, but I don't
see Marcus Freeman standing outside in the cold waiting, you
know what I mean? Like everybody in South Bend would
be like, what's wrong with that restaurant? Versus if golic
was outside waiting, he would be like, oh what a
(16:57):
nice guy. He'd probably let somebody else eat in front
of him.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Yes, and Dreemon is not waiting outside if it's raining,
because half his hair wouldn't bet washed away.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's right. Yes, So Marcus Freeman, we all agree he
would get the table.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
I love Mike, but there's no chance. There's no chance.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
That's not Marcus much.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yes, do you have another? Because I have one?
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Yeah, you can go.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Can I use guys who are alive and guys who
have passed away in their prime?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
In their prime?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So okay, Bloomington, Indiana, Bobby Knight in his prime?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Wow, Kurt Signetti right now?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Wow, yep, it's the Hosiers, couple of angry, angry, angry
people looking for that table.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
No one's giving it out.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Listen, you don't want to either of them in your restaurant.
I can tell you that much. They're gonna complain about
the weight, staff, all of it.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I mean, yeah, misteak has never been cooked, right.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I think ownership would want signetti because Knight would walk
in and probably just throw the chair at the table,
throw it across the room.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
If he doesn't get his table, he is wrecking that place.
Mm hm, it's a real who's your day?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So this is Hey, this is a prime Bobby Knight
right now, Dan, Prime Bobby Knight. They just they're coming
off a championship Keith Smart I think it was like
eighty forty five something like that, and he's walking into
that rest of it's possible.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
The general is getting there's it's not even an ounce
of hesitation.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I think we need we need about another half dozen
years of signetty you. We need a few more memes
out of him before he can get to I mean,
Bob Knight threw a chair across a court and during
a game like that is iconic stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And Dan saying he would do that when he walks
into the rest of room. Imagine if Patino walked in. Wow,
what I'm not the kitchen's right, it's being exciting.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Fourteen seconds, this table is in La the Rock walks in,
and then Kevin Hart walks in.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Wow, who gets in front of him though he'd have
to walk in front of him to be seen.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yes, Kevin horror.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Rockets the table. What do we even talk?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I think that's a hundred percent the Rock really yeah, wow?
And I think part of it is because Kevin Hart
is gonna handle it better. He's just gonna tell jokes
about how he got, uh, you know, over taken by
the Rock.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let's stay in La Prime, Magic Prime Kobe, Kobe, are you.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Sure about that magic rock? The sizzle to he was
he is the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, there's no Kobe without magic.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
And most people put it's just crazy to me.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Most people put magic ahead of Kobe on the all
time players like they automatically put magic top five, Yes,
which is crazy because he's basically looked like what forty
one year old Lebron looks like. Right anyway, Yeah, digrets.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I'm switching. I'm switching to magic now.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I think it's magic that smile like his smile is
he made.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
A compelling argument, right, Okay, good documentary.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Wow, I mean it's not what I
how about Shack versus Kobe Prime, Shaq, Kobe Prime.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
They're giving it to Shack. I think most people think
that everything happened between them was Kobe's fault because he
was too demanding.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well, I also think people viewed Shack as the number
one on that team, which is why Kobe has said
that those championships he won without Shaq were more important
to him than the championships he won.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Would Shack, yeah, Kobe would not get the table. He'd
just go to the gym and take some more jumpers.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
Live Weekday said three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We are waiting for Bob Chesney, the head coach of
the UCLA Bruins. There is a handler who is walking
back and forth in the zoom and Taylor felt the need,
rightfully so, to tell us that's not Bob Chesney.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I mean, I knew that. I'm scared.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I thought Stu was going to introduce him, and I
was like that's not him. Hey, Bob, how far.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Would we have gotten to go with that interview without
you recognizing that that was at the head coach.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
That guy could sit down and for eight minutes I
would interview him as if he was Bob Jesney.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Yes, listen, I will never forget Bob Jesney because in
twenty twenty four, when he was at James Madison, he
opened up an absolute can of you know what on
North Carolina. Yeah, the Dukes went to Chapel Hill and
beat UNC seventy to fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Wow, that's a Belichick game.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, No, that was a mac Brown. That was the
beginning of the end for mac Brown. Yes, stude, they
beat them so bad in that game. Mac Brown got
in the locker room reportedly allegedly and told the team, Hey, guys,
I quit.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Everyone has that moment. Yeah, that was his.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Then he showed up the next day and goes, hey, guys,
remember when I said I quit. Yeah, I was kind
of kidding about that, and everyone's like, those cans are
already out.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I think those worms are already out. O.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I trust Taylor sources on this.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I also think the coach pushing for an expanded playoff.
It's not Lincoln Riley, although he's one of them. It's
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
To be quite the expanien, we're we're going to expand
it to all one hundred and thirty.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
One FBS teams getting in the playoffs. That's on North Carolina.
Get to it. That's how Downy is on his program.
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You'd have a hard time getting into the NCAA College
Tournament right now. What's seventy four?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
There's one hundred and twenty six teams in the playoffs.
Let's go to the bubble. The first team out, it's
Bill Belichick in North Carolina, the ACC.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The field of seventy four. So we're awaiting Bob Chesney.
We'll let you know when we have him. He's the
head coach at UCLA. I want to give him my
Matt Rushmore of UCLA football players because I'm just certain
he's interested in that.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Does Colin A I have his mount Rushmore of UCLA
football players. I think we all set that up.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
It's something you got to ask before the segment starts.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Jesse hasn't sat down yet, we don't think, and so
maybe you want to try to ask Ai. Colin right
now on the Fox Sports app. What do you make
of the expanded playoff? Here is he? Because to me,
it's ridiculous. You know, four was enough wherever we're at now,
that's certainly more than enough. We don't need expansion. It's absurd.
I don't care who the twenty fourth best college football
(23:06):
team is in America?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Well, where are we with that? Is it official? Is
it going to happen? Is it?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The coaches are pushing for it. The coaches are pushing
for it, of course they are, which means it will happen.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So well, I am not a huge fan of it.
I don't think it's necessary. I think twelve is just fine.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Right. That is Bob Chesney and he is getting ready
to sit down with us. He's the head coach at UCLA.
He just put a piece of gum in his mouth.
Why because he's a coach. I mean, he's laughing at me, Bob.
How you doing man?

Speaker 1 (23:48):
This is why you should have asked for Ricardo tol Yeah,
and This is why I shouldn't have asked you to
ask Ai Colin hers Mount Rushmore of UCLA football players, coach.
If you can hear us, just stay right there and
we'll get he connected to just a second, go ahead,
is he?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I'm just laughing at this, But if you're asking me
about the expanded playoffs, I mean it was at twelve.
I felt like it was just unnecessary. It was just
adding more teams. We don't have twenty four teams capable
of winning a national championship.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yep, Taylor got me here, and I don't mind this
being uncomfortable on live radio in two hundred and fifty
plus markets, because this is why I came back to radio,
to feel this uncomfortable, to be sweating. I mean, that's
what I'm dee. Taylor's plugging something in right now. Bob
Chesney is looking at us like he's crazy, and he
has every right.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Tay, I can't believe you asked Ricardo to leave the room.
I'm looking in the hallway for Ricardo.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I did ask him to leave the room. I mean
tell him to take the vap pen out of his
mouth and get back in here. I mean, let's go.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I feel like we can just ask Bob a bunch
of yes or no questions and decide and tell them
about whether he nodded so, whether he said no.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So, Bob, I'm going to give you, if you don't mind,
while we get you connected here, I'm going to give
you my mount rushmore of UCLA football players. So Bob
can heroes. He just can't. He can't talk back to us,
and you shake your head as to whether or not
you agree or disagree. Okay, first name is an obvious one,
Troy Aikman. He nodded yes, okay. Second one, Kenny easily.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Oh that's another no, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Third one Jonathan Ogden. I thought about it a little bit,
thought about it, all right, Bob, you can speak now
by the way I think. Go ahead, all right?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
What's on that rush one?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
That's for?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's four, So it's for so hold on. My fourth
is gonna be Terry Donnie.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Oh, this is gonna be trouble. Yeah, this is gonna
be trouble here. All right, we're gonna run out.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Of room, all right, Donahue, he's on there, right, Terry Donahue, Yeah,
he's on there. Okay. So the one guy that you
were hesitant about was Kenny Easily? So if you took
Easily off, who would you replace easily with? MG M
J D Or what do you think?
Speaker 9 (25:59):
I mean, how's Gary Beeban not on that as the
only Heisman Trophy winner from the history of UCLA. Like,
he's got to fit somewhere on there. You're gonna have
to make a little more room. You're gonna have to
make a little more room because I don'tink we should
take him Mondy off, right, but I think we got
to get him on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I have to be honest. Taylor wanted you on. He
wants to convert us all to UCLA football fans, and
you had me at sit down. You're a good looking man, sir,
I mean supposed to.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Say that there's a smart man. There's a smart man.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, goea, so, Coach, I played football at the University
of North Carolina. I graduated in twenty sixteen. The image
of JMU beating Carolina seventy to fifty will be etched
through my mind forever. And Coach, that day you converted
me to the Bob mob.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Well, that was a pretty special day. I mean it
was a special day. There's a lot of things that
happened in that football game that I don't know field
see happen in the same football game, from onside kicks
to block punts for touchdowns, to pick sixes to you know,
muddle huddle two point play. There is a lot of
football that happened in that day. I remember we got
to the end of the first quarter and they're like,
(27:04):
you're gonna do your interview at the end of the
first quarter. It was like twenty something whatever it was
at the end of the first and the lady came over.
I'm like, wait a minute, it's only the first quarter
right now. I felt like we had played so much
football I thought it was the third quarter by that
point in time.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
So it was.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
It was a wild day for.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Sure, Bob. I'm curious. I've been I mean, do you
see the campus is one of the most beautiful campuses
I've ever seen. But I'm wondering what's been going so
well for you and recruiting. I'm reading everywhere a top
five recruiting class, and obviously just getting there's what's the
message that's working for you get so far?
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Well? I just you know, this is like the third
time I'm saying it today, I feel like the million
of time I've said it since I've been here, I
just am very proud to be here. I think this
is a place that is steeped in history. Not recent history,
but you go back and look at the history of
this place, it is phenomenal. I think you add in
the fact that were the number one public school in
the country, and then you add in the fact that
we had six girls drafted in the first round in
(27:58):
the WNBA you know draft. Our baseball team, you know,
hopefully ends the season with another national championship. They have
the first pick of the draft and probably the third
pick of the draft. You go to gymnastics, you got
Jordan Chiles over there. You go to beach volleyball, both
of those girls will be on the US Olympics team.
You go to waterpolo, nine of our players will be
on the Olympics. You're walking around this athletic department with
(28:19):
first round draft picks and Olympic gold medal winners. Is
really what you're doing here like that is elite. And
then we're not even talking yet about the future CEOs
and the doctors and the lawyers and the engineers and
the you know whatever. It might be out there that
are also walking on this campus. You know this is
a now and then you go, okay, well it's in
(28:40):
LA could be a You're in the greatest, most sought
after area of Los Angeles that exists, and I just
look at then you go to the history and the
alumni and their willingness to be part of this and
their mentorship to help our young men become something bigger
than just football players in their time here, and then
long after that, I mean, why not? Right? Why not?
(29:02):
And I think that's the thing for me, is like
you're checking boxes everywhere you go. I don't have any idea.
Why not us?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
That sounds like and I believe that right there that's
working for your selling a great city, a great school
with great history and great athletics.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I mean, it's just and what took them so long?
I mean they haven't gotten back sooner because of you.
You're not there, right, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
I think that for me, it's about you said selling,
But it's not they said on the I was on
rich Eysend earlier today, and it's like, we're not selling anything.
We're presenting right, And in the end, what you're doing
in this college football process, I think is you're trying
to make a match, right, That's what you're trying to do,
and you're trying to make a match for more than
just financial reasons. You're trying to find people that believe
(29:46):
in your program, believe in your vision, believe in what
you're doing. And then when that match gets made, it's great.
But you have to present everything to them. They have
to see it all very very clearly, the good and
the bad of it, so they can make a long
lasting decision and not some impulsive, quick decision just because
there's a couple of dollars attached to it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
What do you make of coaches here pushing for an
expanded playoff.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Bub Well, I heard you guys talking a lot about it,
and it didn't sound like many people were in support
of it, but it yeah, I think you know, the
question is how many teams could really win the national championship.
That's a fair question, I do think. At the same point,
it's it feels like it's never enough. You know, when
you had four, it wasn't enough. You go up, it's
(30:26):
not enough, you keep you know, you work your way
through that. As long as you could shrink the season
a little bit back some things up and get into
those playoffs. I was part of the thirty sixteen playoffs,
you know, in Division two and Division three, and I
thought it was pretty awesome. You know, we had moments
where nobody believed we could do things, and you know,
made it to the Elite eight. I think we made
it to the final four one year. You know, those
are those are things that you know, our memories that
(30:48):
will last absolutely forever. And I think, you know, why
not do it if if people are willing to do
it and you have the timeframe to do it in
why not?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Look, I believe twelve is like it's probably too many,
but the game are entertaining, so okay, make it twenty four.
That's fine. At least it'll be entertaining games that part. Yeah,
I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
And the stakes are higher, so that's a good thing. Yes,
got ahead.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Tell you coach, you've you've arrived at UCLA, amazing resources,
the bright lights of Hollywood there. What's the furthest you
felt away from this when you were coming up in
coaching Worcester?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, listen, I went to school there. I tell
me a single thing. I went to school at Clark University.
Give me a single thing you miss about wister anyway?
Speaker 9 (31:30):
The people? Okay, the people, man, I missed the people.
I missed the people at a high level. We spent
eleven years there and they're just some of the toughest,
most blue collar, great people. That's why mess truly. But
I think probably when I became a head coach at
Salve Regina University, which you've probably, I mean from Clark,
you've heard of, but probably nobody else on here has.
(31:52):
That's a Division III school in Newport, Rhode Island. Our
stadium was three miles off campus. We played at a
middle school football field all right, where our kids had
to drive their cars every single day to practice with
their pads on because there was no locker room up there.
We had to practice at six am. We had to
be done by eight because at eight oh one that
(32:14):
the elementary school had a free period where the kids
were able to walk around the track and you couldn't
be on the track anymore if they were out there.
I also did softball game management, where I was responsible for,
you know, raking the field and throwing down the quick
dry and figure out if we could if we could
actually play that day. That was my call as the
head coach. I was also in charge of work study
(32:34):
at that place where everybody that did any work study
in athletics I had to submit their cards or they
want to get paid. And it was a two week cycle,
so that would probably be I was doing the equipment inventory.
I was doing laundry at one point. That would probably
be the furthest way that I felt for it.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
And now you have someone doing the laundry for you. Yes,
that's amazing, Yes.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Yes that is That's that's the bonus here.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Yeah, Bob, have you been able to give the proper
assessments to in and out Burger, because I believe it's
gotten a bad rap. I every time I've had it,
I've enjoyed it. Love much, Yes, love it.
Speaker 9 (33:06):
I think it's phenomenal. I think it's phenomenal. I think
that they do such a good job the cheese to
meet ratios. Phenomenal. They melted cheese perfectly. It's a I mean,
there's nothing better.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
That's what I'm talking about. That's proper. Does it bother
you at all that you get compared to a lot
to usc legend to Pete Carroll, No.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
I mean I admire the heck out of him. I
think that, you know, I've followed his career for a
long time. There were you know, many years where I,
you know, from a distance, just admired the heck out
of the juice he brought to it every single day,
the connection he had with his players, the fun and
joy he had playing this game, you know, and did
it at a high level. I think, you know, he's phenomenal,
(33:48):
and you know, I haven't met him yet, but I
look forward to having an opportunity to do that in
their future.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
It's an amazing place, Bob, we've arrived at in college football.
If I told you a decade ago that Indiana was
going to be the number one program in America, you
would have told me once.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
I said, who's the coach? Is what I would have said,
That's what I would have said. But no, it's wild.
It is wild, and I think that it's just one
of those things that gives everybody a lot of hope.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Right.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
It's the same thing when you're talking about the playoff thing.
If you're saying it's only however many teams, you know,
would you at the beginning of the season putting Indiana
in there? You know, two years ago, probably not, And
here they are doing what they do, so, you know,
I think they're they're a first class organization, and Coach
Signey does such a great job, and they kept their
staff intact when he made that move from JMU, And
(34:36):
there's just a lot of things that that culture already
was moving by the time they hit the ground running
in Indiana. So I just think there's a lot of
a lot of positives from that program for sure, you know.
And I, you know, just really cool to watch it
from the outside.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
And Coach I feel like from the outside looking in,
you followed a bit to Signette's playbook bringing some of
your guys to JMU to kind of help ease that transition.
I just want to circle back for a second. I
never really got an ant her too, if you like
the nickname the Bob Mob.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Like all great coaches, he he dodged the question, he
avoided it.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
I really liked your question, your set up to your question.
I was ready for a real one in there and the.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Old change up.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
I don't mind. I don't mind it. I don't mind
any Any support is good support.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
All right, Bob we are U c l A brewin
fans for life. Now, Okay, if we come out to
a game, I expect sideline passes. I want access, unlimited access.
All right, we're coming out to a deal.
Speaker 9 (35:29):
Done, done, deal, done deal. You spend time on Clark
at Clark University.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I deserve it.

five years in wis the Yeah, thank you, all right, Bob,

A Bruins. We'll wrap it up after this.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I'm so glad we could actually hear him eventually because
it kind of sounds like Tom Brady a little bit.
Speaker 1 (35:58):

face and he should make a face. Very dangerous game,
I was, Sam, give me the imaging music whatever we

Speaker 4 (36:39):
I think there it is.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
It's yeah, yeah, because we haven't played hand up in
a while. Yeah, that's right, I can start.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
It for us. Yeah, please do yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Hand up. When the other team didn't have enough people
for softball yesterday, yeah, I pointed towards Izzy and said,
you guys could take him.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
What a jerk you offered up Izzy to the other team.
If you know, my god, it was a scrimmage, you
know what I said?
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Specifically, as I was walking back to our dugout, I
was like, if they're taking players.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
I'm definitely staying on this team.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Get jerk.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
That's why they kept looking at you.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
He's choking it up to a scrimmage. If it was
Game two of the World Series, the most important game
you would.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Still give is you we That's not all I'm saying

so embarrassed that I ran.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Away and hit my face.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
What by a man or one?
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Nobody went by a man bike ya?
Speaker 1 (37:43):
And I was like.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
One group of people would call me Mike yea.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yes, and I ran away.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
My group of people run into a turtle shell?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
There go ahead? Is he? Oh? A man?
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Hand up? I suppose I like to brag a lot
about since ever since I've been training with my leg
guy buddy doctor Blake, that I don't have any back issues.
I hurt my back coughing in the shower this evening.
Speaker 6 (38:06):
That's how it starts.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
There was just one aggressive cough and it was just
what is that?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yeah? Hand up? Talking about not having back issues always
is going to give you a back issue.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Yeah, you can't mess with a karma like that. Is
that your hand up?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
You? No? I improvised, I mean he jinks himself.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I am told by Iowa Sam that we have like
eighteen minutes to take phone calls whatever you want to
talk about Wednesday, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
So wizzy, I want to see if I'm following you
correctly down this Anthony Edwards path, because I believe.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That you're talking about Ricardo's haircut.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You are obsessed with Ricardo's hair. He looks great. I mean, yes,
this is the best born out Ricardo was look since
we started.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
But he usually wears a hat, so you can tell
he's really proud of this. But the thing I love
about this haircut, it's not only like pristine like twenty
twenty six, can walk anywhere with that haircut, but he
also looks like he could be starring in like a
Grease musical and like just fall into like the nineteen
fifties perfectly, because it's like perfectly like I would say,
Sean Sherania would be proud of this haircut, like that's
(01:11):
how good this haircut is.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
And Stu, he's wearing a soccer kit as they call,
not a soccer jersey, a soccer kit. Yes, and it
has the collar. It's a franch jersey. The collar on
his kit.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's a France kit.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, it looks like like photo day here at Fox
Sports Radio right now.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It's like a real collar and everything.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Wait a second, Ricardo, did you get a haircut for
the big soccer game today?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I mean, well, it is the semi finals, stud got
so I had to look good?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, it would have no comment to that.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Trust for the job you want exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And we all know the semi finals more important than
the final, right, I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
This is the finals pretty much.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh, it is really the finals before the final. Huh.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
It's the rare Champions League semi final. That's the Champions
League final, huh.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Kind of like Arizona Michigan in the final four.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
People are just discounting Arsenal, do they, So that's the
team that's in the final.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Declan Rice yep, Arsenal did, and they.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Have no shot. Regardless of who makes it through to
the finals.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
They should, but Arsenal's main focus right now is on
the Premier League, which they haven't won in quite some time.
So it's it's kind of like a pick your poison
for this Arsenal team where they're probably focusing all their
attention on. It's the rare team that's in the Champions
League final that might have their eyes elsewhere.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
But it isn't Declan Rice having such a good season
that they're even talking about them about, you know, winning
the ball or whatever, the balloon ball.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
So I'm gonna be honest with you guys right here
in a moment of transparency. We're so far into this
soccer talk right now that I don't even know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, that's a problem with soccer. There are too many leagues.
Everyone's confused. You're telling me there's a semi final that happens,
it's a final before a final. It's a league, it's
a different league. There's this league, that league, the World Cup.
It's all confusing. I love that, though.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Taylor's like, please, no more questions, please. I don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
That one does. I mean, the players have no idea
what league they're playing in.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Ercardo asked me who I thought was gonna win, and
I essentially told him the German League.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Do you think it's going to win the Super Bowl?
And I said the NFL.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Tip of the cap.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
We'll get to your calls here in a second eight seven,
seven ninety nine one Fox. So if Anthony Edward can
beat San Antonio right now, he's back and he's coming
off the bench, Edwards, and perhaps he'll start moving forward.
But that creates a storyline for the NBA with web beat.
Right has to come back, has to work harder, has
to do it better, has to be better. Right has
to make that climb. Then goes on to beat Oklahoma City,
(03:40):
which makes everyone happy because Oklahoma City does not win
back to back NBA champions championships because no one wants
that team.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
As an NBA dynast, and I would say even greater,
it would be a victory for ethical hoops, right, because
it's not you know, asking for fout, begging for fouls
and all this stuff. It's just I'm Anthony Edwards. I
can get a shot off whenever I want to and
I'm ridiculously clutched.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And here's the other thing. So the Knicks, who I
have already in the NBA Finals, Nick fans would love
that he'd get a standing ovation because the Knicks are
now facing a Timberwolf's team that Nick fans feel like
they could beat, as opposed to Oklahoma City where Nick
fans are like, hey, we have no shot. So I
think if this all plays out, you're right. He saves
the NBA and the Knicks win in five and he
(04:24):
gets Finals MVP.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Like, imagine, imagine how star studded Madison Square Garden is
going to be for an NBA Finals, and yet Anthony
Edwards would emerge as the biggest star right because of
his performance. I mean, and he's just his look. I
should hate Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards did the thing where
he was like, saw a line of you know, gay
man a thing and said, oh what is this world
(04:48):
coming to and decided to post that on the internet.
I should hate the guy, yes, but I see him
as a young guy with a lot to learn and
a very willingness to right. I think he has that
ability to and he's just always going to be himself
He's going to be very personable but always be true
to himself, and I think he's impossible not to like.
(05:09):
And so if he just not only with his style
of play, but with his personality, comes out on top
after you know what we've been saying, Oh it's Jokers year,
Oh it's Shay's year.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Oh it's Wemby's year.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
And it's Anthony Edwards out of this sixth seed with
a bunch of defenders around him.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
That I mean, that would do so much for him.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
What is he just did there by the way, is
make it impossible for you to dislike Anthony Edwards?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, basically because he was right.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
If any is wired to dislike Anthony Edwards, it would
be as real Goodyerres and he's telling you he likes him,
go ahead tell him.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
And it would be a very star studed event in
Madison Square Garden, unless there was another met Gala. Then
then Ben Stiller would miss it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That phony.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I mean, I just don't understand the met Gala, to
be honest, Like, first of all, it's like the Tour
de France to me. It comes around every year and
I'm like, oh, I didn't know it was that sneaks
up on now. Yeah, it definitely sneaks up on you.
And then it's just like I don't, can't, I don't.
I mean, it's a fundraiser, but it's really just so
you can be seen in these clothes.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
You guys are rich. You can be seen in these
clothes whenever you want.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Just put it on.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Just put it on, and then put it on social
same thing.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I gotta tell you, man, I see I see all
these celebrities at the Derby. I want to go. I'm
not big you know, horse racing, it's dead. I'm not
big bod. I am big on partying, and that just
looks like a massive party. Man.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
I think that's the Preakness.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
No, no, I think it was definitely the Derby party,
all of them. Well, the Derby is where Tom Brady
was falling down drunk right, and where Wes Welker was
supposedly on Molly.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And was handing out my allegedly yes, allegedly.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm sorry, allegedly, not supposedly, I'm really I'm very thankful.
By the way. Speaking of a sort of tailor situation,
like don't ask any more soccer questions, there was a
caller and the subject line set Pelican's head coach search
and I got nothing on it, and so thankfully that
person has fallen off. But maybe we should take one
of these others.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, the caller has dropped. Let's go out to uh Mark,
who's in Miami today, Marco, I had your on Fellas.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I agree with your sentiment. Sga. As great as he is,
he doesn't have to do it. But I blame the
rests more because if they're gonna fall for that bait
of foul baiting, he's gonna do it every time. And
your skills in and great as he is offensively, and
he's probably as good as anybody in the league right
now inside a KD, he can sell that call. So
(07:24):
I blame the rest more than that. I just I
just really hope they get taken out. And I agree
with you on at Man. I just love the way
how unfiltered and raw he is. Sometimes they'll get him
in trouble, but the guy's so damn entertaining. But another
guy I really enjoys, Cake Cunningham. Maybe he's not as
flashy as ant Man, but I think overall game you
can make a you can make a strong argument that
(07:45):
he's better than a man. It's just that he's not
as flashy, and he doesn't he's not as unfiltered or raw,
but he doesn't flop do anything. He's just an ultimate gamer.
He's just every single play. I just love it as
a Nick fit And excuse me as a Heath fan
who hate the Knicks, I would. I really Brunson does
some at times, but I just love way his bulldog
mentality being an undersized guard, the way he attacks and
(08:07):
just goes that guy's and and and the way he
just his ultimate will of being a second round guy
who was expected to be a ninth or tenth guy
off the bench. I mean, I can't believe I'm saying
this as an event about the Knicks, but I really
enjoy watching them. They're they're kind of interested stating cats.
Even though he's off the wall, when he gets going
man and that macha the garden's rocking, it'd be entertaining.
(08:30):
So I just I just think the sentiment to okay, see.
As great as they are, I just I don't think
that a lot of people enjoy them at all, and
it would be hopefully I'm hoping whoever it is a man,
preferably even the Spurs to somebody take them out because
with this new CBA. In fact, I'm just hoping they're
gonna lose a lot of their guys in their dynasty
is not gonna be attacked. So I think they're gonna
(08:50):
start losing some guys starting this year because they've already
maxed out Sga, Jalen Williams and another Sea. So it's
gonna be great to watch. Thanks for the time, bellas all.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Right, thank you, Mark, call again, please whenever you want
about whatever you want. This is why I came back
to sports radio out of it. There are different types
of callers. Mark is the type of caller who calls
in and just does whatever the hell he wants. I
mean the show that he wants to do. That's the show.
And I said, hey, it's whatever you want Wednesday, so
you can talk about whatever you want. But Mark, I'm
(09:19):
telling you, you could do that on a Thursday, Friday,
Monday and Tuesday whenever you want. Okay, You're always whatever
you want apparently for how long you want.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, I don't care, get it all.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yes, he was doing his show.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
He mentioned Kid Cunningham and I thought, you know, in
terms of like the potential finals opponent for Anthony Edwards.
It would very much be like the the Michael Jordan
path of having to get over the tough defensive Pistons
team with the all world point guard.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Now with Kate, I could tell you someone who watched
his first Pistons game last night. Kate Cunningham is good.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
That was your first game last night? In the post,
I am terrified of the Pistons.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I want nothing.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Let's go Calves now the Pistons for me.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
We have the close your eyes test where I asked
you guys to close your eyes and imagine something. Yeah,
the Pistons don't pass the close your eyes test because
close your eyes and imagine Tobias Harris as the second
option for a title team.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
My eyes were wide open and I couldn't believe what
he was doing in the first round. Yeah, okay, because
he was actually being the guy and doing it well.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yes, Mikey, since.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Taylor likes to bring up all his takes, that he
was right. I believe the Knicks didn't pass.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
To close your eyes test when we did that. That's true.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Yeah, that is no, the Knicks didn't.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
No, So the close your eyes test for the Knicks
was close your eyes and imagine Karl Anthony Town's winning
a title.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, yes, well, now close your eyes, can't imagine he's well,
he's on the neck.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Has anything changed? Try again?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Yeah, you know what, in the spirit of accountability. When
I closed my eyes, I could kind of pitch your cap.
I could see the thirty two in the outline of him.
His face isn't filled in yet, but we're starting to
get that picture.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I can't believe he was in Devilware is product too.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
You know the take he never remind you of mikeyy
that he hates this Yankee team and they've won seventeen.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I believe least favorite, not hate. It's my least favorite. Yes,
they won seventeen of nineteen.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Listen, all the fathers out there know you have a
least favorite kid. If you have more than one kid,
you have a least favorite kid. Doesn't mean you love
that kid any less, but you have a least favorite.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I don't wow, this is.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Like when your least favorite kids. He's succeeding really well,
but the sport is like badminton.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
This kid, I know tell it was trying to set
me up for the joke. There I wasn't wanting to
do it. My kids are graduating this weekend.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yes, listen, I'm speaking as I'm speaking as a guy
with no kids.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
All the dads out there know they have a least favorite.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Night, don't they twins? Yes, yeah, it can't be. You
can't have at least.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Favorite Yeah, well you can. Let's go out to Kelly
in North Carolina. Kelly, go ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Do you think Fernando Mendoza saved Carlos Mendoza job by
having by making.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The last name look good unfortunately?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yes, I mean it is a good time to be
a mendoes it. It's never been a better time's incredibility.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yes, let's go Thank you for the call, Kelly. Let's
go to John, who's in Maine today. John, go ahead,
you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Hey, guys, loving the show. I Uh, when I watched
the Kentucky Derby, My wife and I used to watch
the Kentucky Derby and we'd always have a private vet
between the two of us and we'd pick a horse.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
She died three years ago, and I still watch a
Kentucky Derby and I'd still pick a horse. So this year.
I watched and I picked Great White, and I looked
up at the heavens. I said, okay, honey, you know
and uh, all of a sudden, I see on the TV.
I went and got a drink and I'd come back
(13:00):
and it's like my horse flipped sober and knocked the
shock you off and they scratched them. And I'm like,
out of all those horses, I picked the one that
decided to have an attitude adjustment.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
That was your wife making sure you didn't win.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Yes, exactly right, because our private bet was if she won,
she had to make love to me and if I
made if I want, I had to make love to her.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Win. When I am going to try yes, I'm going
to try it tonight.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
What's the horse race?
Speaker 9 (13:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I don't care what the bet is.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'll lose.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That was such a great line. That is your wife,
even in the afterlife, still getting the best of you,
just like Yeah, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
That is eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yes, No, I just had something to read if you
want me to.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh no, I thought we have five more minutes here.
I mean, I was saying, we don't know any time. No,
we have time for calls. I mean they're wide lines
right now. I just clear them out. Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. That is eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, because of course, we are killing time
here until we try until Bob Chesney joins us and
tries to convert us all to UCLA Brewin football fans.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Are we sure he's not related to Kenny Chesney?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I have no idea should be the first question? Or well,
probably probably not? Okay, I think Kenny Chesney might be
joining us on the show. Actually, really, how about that? Yeah,
he's got a concert, he's got some uh, he's got
a residency at the Sphere. He also just wrote a
book and he's been on with me several times before.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
What we need is a podcast with Bob Chesney and
Kenny Chesney and it's called a couple of Chesney's.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
What else would you call it?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I don't know what they would talk about, but listen
at least of the first episode.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
All right, I wants to play a game of one table,
So Iowa, Sam Dpoy, get that music ready, please.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
There's one table left at the hottest spot in town,
and everybody wants it who's getting it and who's getting
left outside Greatness gets seated, everyone else waits.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
This is one table.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
It sounds like Sam was that Sam?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
No? No. We played this game earlier today with t
Bob from Barstool check it out on Stegott's company the
show We do.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Before the show, and thank you so much for making
this a restaurant with one table left instead of a
restaurant with just one table.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
It's a terrible business model. Go ahead, Dylan, So this
one is tough. The tables in South ben Indiana Wow,
And in walks Marcus Freeman, and in walks michaelock ooh
sor yeah. Notre Dame's first family.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So it's Marcus Freeman, the coach who hasn't won a
national championship.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah, hasn't really figured out.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
His hair, against Mike Golick, who I don't think won
a national championship when he was at Notre Dame's hair
looks great, but he is part of the first family.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Of Notre Dame Iconic sports show. M M fact.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm guessing Golic had you know, a voice when they
hired Marcus Freeman. It made that decision, yes, and Freeman
should get gold at the table out of respect. But Golick,
being the nice guy that he is, would give Marcus
to the table. This is a tough one.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
This is very tough because, like I'm imagining who would
be more okay standing outside? Like who would look more
just okay with it? And I'm sorry, but I don't
see Marcus Freeman standing outside in the cold waiting, you
know what I mean? Like everybody in South Bend would
be like, what's wrong with that restaurant? Versus if golic
was outside waiting, he would be like, oh what a
(16:57):
nice guy. He'd probably let somebody else eat in front
of him.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Yes, and Dreemon is not waiting outside if it's raining,
because half his hair wouldn't bet washed away.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's right. Yes, So Marcus Freeman, we all agree he
would get the table.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
I love Mike, but there's no chance. There's no chance.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
That's not Marcus much.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yes, do you have another? Because I have one?
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Yeah, you can go.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Can I use guys who are alive and guys who
have passed away in their prime?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
In their prime?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So okay, Bloomington, Indiana, Bobby Knight in his prime?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Wow, Kurt Signetti right now?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Wow, yep, it's the Hosiers, couple of angry, angry, angry
people looking for that table.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
No one's giving it out.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Listen, you don't want to either of them in your restaurant.
I can tell you that much. They're gonna complain about
the weight, staff, all of it.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I mean, yeah, misteak has never been cooked, right.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I think ownership would want signetti because Knight would walk
in and probably just throw the chair at the table,
throw it across the room.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
If he doesn't get his table, he is wrecking that place.
Mm hm, it's a real who's your day?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So this is Hey, this is a prime Bobby Knight
right now, Dan, Prime Bobby Knight. They just they're coming
off a championship Keith Smart I think it was like
eighty forty five something like that, and he's walking into
that rest of it's possible.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
The general is getting there's it's not even an ounce
of hesitation.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I think we need we need about another half dozen
years of signetty you. We need a few more memes
out of him before he can get to I mean,
Bob Knight threw a chair across a court and during
a game like that is iconic stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And Dan saying he would do that when he walks
into the rest of room. Imagine if Patino walked in. Wow,
what I'm not the kitchen's right, it's being exciting.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Fourteen seconds, this table is in La the Rock walks in,
and then Kevin Hart walks in.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Wow, who gets in front of him though he'd have
to walk in front of him to be seen.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yes, Kevin horror.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Rockets the table. What do we even talk?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I think that's a hundred percent the Rock really yeah, wow?
And I think part of it is because Kevin Hart
is gonna handle it better. He's just gonna tell jokes
about how he got, uh, you know, over taken by
the Rock.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let's stay in La Prime, Magic Prime Kobe, Kobe, are you.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Sure about that magic rock? The sizzle to he was
he is the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, there's no Kobe without magic.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
And most people put it's just crazy to me.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Most people put magic ahead of Kobe on the all
time players like they automatically put magic top five, Yes,
which is crazy because he's basically looked like what forty
one year old Lebron looks like. Right anyway, Yeah, digrets.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I'm switching. I'm switching to magic now.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I think it's magic that smile like his smile is
he made.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
A compelling argument, right, Okay, good documentary.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Wow, I mean it's not what I
how about Shack versus Kobe Prime, Shaq, Kobe Prime.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
They're giving it to Shack. I think most people think
that everything happened between them was Kobe's fault because he
was too demanding.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well, I also think people viewed Shack as the number
one on that team, which is why Kobe has said
that those championships he won without Shaq were more important
to him than the championships he won.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Would Shack, yeah, Kobe would not get the table. He'd
just go to the gym and take some more jumpers.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
Live Weekday said three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We are waiting for Bob Chesney, the head coach of
the UCLA Bruins. There is a handler who is walking
back and forth in the zoom and Taylor felt the need,
rightfully so, to tell us that's not Bob Chesney.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I mean, I knew that. I'm scared.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I thought Stu was going to introduce him, and I
was like that's not him. Hey, Bob, how far.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Would we have gotten to go with that interview without
you recognizing that that was at the head coach.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
That guy could sit down and for eight minutes I
would interview him as if he was Bob Jesney.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Yes, listen, I will never forget Bob Jesney because in
twenty twenty four, when he was at James Madison, he
opened up an absolute can of you know what on
North Carolina. Yeah, the Dukes went to Chapel Hill and
beat UNC seventy to fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Wow, that's a Belichick game.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, No, that was a mac Brown. That was the
beginning of the end for mac Brown. Yes, stude, they
beat them so bad in that game. Mac Brown got
in the locker room reportedly allegedly and told the team, Hey, guys,
I quit.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Everyone has that moment. Yeah, that was his.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Then he showed up the next day and goes, hey, guys,
remember when I said I quit. Yeah, I was kind
of kidding about that, and everyone's like, those cans are
already out.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I think those worms are already out. O.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I trust Taylor sources on this.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I also think the coach pushing for an expanded playoff.
It's not Lincoln Riley, although he's one of them. It's
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
To be quite the expanien, we're we're going to expand
it to all one hundred and thirty.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
One FBS teams getting in the playoffs. That's on North Carolina.
Get to it. That's how Downy is on his program.
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You'd have a hard time getting into the NCAA College
Tournament right now. What's seventy four?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
There's one hundred and twenty six teams in the playoffs.
Let's go to the bubble. The first team out, it's
Bill Belichick in North Carolina, the ACC.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The field of seventy four. So we're awaiting Bob Chesney.
We'll let you know when we have him. He's the
head coach at UCLA. I want to give him my
Matt Rushmore of UCLA football players because I'm just certain
he's interested in that.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Does Colin A I have his mount Rushmore of UCLA
football players. I think we all set that up.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
It's something you got to ask before the segment starts.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Jesse hasn't sat down yet, we don't think, and so
maybe you want to try to ask Ai. Colin right
now on the Fox Sports app. What do you make
of the expanded playoff? Here is he? Because to me,
it's ridiculous. You know, four was enough wherever we're at now,
that's certainly more than enough. We don't need expansion. It's absurd.
I don't care who the twenty fourth best college football
(23:06):
team is in America?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Well, where are we with that? Is it official? Is
it going to happen? Is it?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The coaches are pushing for it. The coaches are pushing
for it, of course they are, which means it will happen.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So well, I am not a huge fan of it.
I don't think it's necessary. I think twelve is just fine.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Right. That is Bob Chesney and he is getting ready
to sit down with us. He's the head coach at UCLA.
He just put a piece of gum in his mouth.
Why because he's a coach. I mean, he's laughing at me, Bob.
How you doing man?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio

Speaker 1 (23:48):
This is why you should have asked for Ricardo tol Yeah,
and This is why I shouldn't have asked you to
ask Ai Colin hers Mount Rushmore of UCLA football players, coach.
If you can hear us, just stay right there and
we'll get he connected to just a second, go ahead,
is he?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I'm just laughing at this, But if you're asking me
about the expanded playoffs, I mean it was at twelve.
I felt like it was just unnecessary. It was just
adding more teams. We don't have twenty four teams capable
of winning a national championship.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yep, Taylor got me here, and I don't mind this
being uncomfortable on live radio in two hundred and fifty
plus markets, because this is why I came back to radio,
to feel this uncomfortable, to be sweating. I mean, that's
what I'm dee. Taylor's plugging something in right now. Bob
Chesney is looking at us like he's crazy, and he
has every right.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Tay, I can't believe you asked Ricardo to leave the room.
I'm looking in the hallway for Ricardo.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I did ask him to leave the room. I mean
tell him to take the vap pen out of his
mouth and get back in here. I mean, let's go.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I feel like we can just ask Bob a bunch
of yes or no questions and decide and tell them
about whether he nodded so, whether he said no.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So, Bob, I'm going to give you, if you don't mind,
while we get you connected here, I'm going to give
you my mount rushmore of UCLA football players. So Bob
can heroes. He just can't. He can't talk back to us,
and you shake your head as to whether or not
you agree or disagree. Okay, first name is an obvious one,
Troy Aikman. He nodded yes, okay. Second one, Kenny easily.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Oh that's another no, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Third one Jonathan Ogden. I thought about it a little bit,
thought about it, all right, Bob, you can speak now
by the way I think. Go ahead, all right?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
What's on that rush one?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
That's for?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's four, So it's for so hold on. My fourth
is gonna be Terry Donnie.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Oh, this is gonna be trouble. Yeah, this is gonna
be trouble here. All right, we're gonna run out.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Of room, all right, Donahue, he's on there, right, Terry Donahue, Yeah,
he's on there. Okay. So the one guy that you
were hesitant about was Kenny Easily? So if you took
Easily off, who would you replace easily with? MG M
J D Or what do you think?
Speaker 9 (25:59):
I mean, how's Gary Beeban not on that as the
only Heisman Trophy winner from the history of UCLA. Like,
he's got to fit somewhere on there. You're gonna have
to make a little more room. You're gonna have to
make a little more room because I don'tink we should
take him Mondy off, right, but I think we got
to get him on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I have to be honest. Taylor wanted you on. He
wants to convert us all to UCLA football fans, and
you had me at sit down. You're a good looking man, sir,
I mean supposed to.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Say that there's a smart man. There's a smart man.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, goea, so, Coach, I played football at the University
of North Carolina. I graduated in twenty sixteen. The image
of JMU beating Carolina seventy to fifty will be etched
through my mind forever. And Coach, that day you converted
me to the Bob mob.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Well, that was a pretty special day. I mean it
was a special day. There's a lot of things that
happened in that football game that I don't know field
see happen in the same football game, from onside kicks
to block punts for touchdowns, to pick sixes to you know,
muddle huddle two point play. There is a lot of
football that happened in that day. I remember we got
to the end of the first quarter and they're like,
(27:04):
you're gonna do your interview at the end of the
first quarter. It was like twenty something whatever it was
at the end of the first and the lady came over.
I'm like, wait a minute, it's only the first quarter
right now. I felt like we had played so much
football I thought it was the third quarter by that
point in time.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
So it was.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
It was a wild day for.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Sure, Bob. I'm curious. I've been I mean, do you
see the campus is one of the most beautiful campuses
I've ever seen. But I'm wondering what's been going so
well for you and recruiting. I'm reading everywhere a top
five recruiting class, and obviously just getting there's what's the
message that's working for you get so far?
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Well? I just you know, this is like the third
time I'm saying it today, I feel like the million
of time I've said it since I've been here, I
just am very proud to be here. I think this
is a place that is steeped in history. Not recent history,
but you go back and look at the history of
this place, it is phenomenal. I think you add in
the fact that were the number one public school in
the country, and then you add in the fact that
we had six girls drafted in the first round in
(27:58):
the WNBA you know draft. Our baseball team, you know,
hopefully ends the season with another national championship. They have
the first pick of the draft and probably the third
pick of the draft. You go to gymnastics, you got
Jordan Chiles over there. You go to beach volleyball, both
of those girls will be on the US Olympics team.
You go to waterpolo, nine of our players will be
on the Olympics. You're walking around this athletic department with
(28:19):
first round draft picks and Olympic gold medal winners. Is
really what you're doing here like that is elite. And
then we're not even talking yet about the future CEOs
and the doctors and the lawyers and the engineers and
the you know whatever. It might be out there that
are also walking on this campus. You know this is
a now and then you go, okay, well it's in
(28:40):
LA could be a You're in the greatest, most sought
after area of Los Angeles that exists, and I just
look at then you go to the history and the
alumni and their willingness to be part of this and
their mentorship to help our young men become something bigger
than just football players in their time here, and then
long after that, I mean, why not? Right? Why not?
(29:02):
And I think that's the thing for me, is like
you're checking boxes everywhere you go. I don't have any idea.
Why not us?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
That sounds like and I believe that right there that's
working for your selling a great city, a great school
with great history and great athletics.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I mean, it's just and what took them so long?
I mean they haven't gotten back sooner because of you.
You're not there, right, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
I think that for me, it's about you said selling,
But it's not they said on the I was on
rich Eysend earlier today, and it's like, we're not selling anything.
We're presenting right, And in the end, what you're doing
in this college football process, I think is you're trying
to make a match, right, That's what you're trying to do,
and you're trying to make a match for more than
just financial reasons. You're trying to find people that believe
(29:46):
in your program, believe in your vision, believe in what
you're doing. And then when that match gets made, it's great.
But you have to present everything to them. They have
to see it all very very clearly, the good and
the bad of it, so they can make a long
lasting decision and not some impulsive, quick decision just because
there's a couple of dollars attached to it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
What do you make of coaches here pushing for an
expanded playoff.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Bub Well, I heard you guys talking a lot about it,
and it didn't sound like many people were in support
of it, but it yeah, I think you know, the
question is how many teams could really win the national championship.
That's a fair question, I do think. At the same point,
it's it feels like it's never enough. You know, when
you had four, it wasn't enough. You go up, it's
(30:26):
not enough, you keep you know, you work your way
through that. As long as you could shrink the season
a little bit back some things up and get into
those playoffs. I was part of the thirty sixteen playoffs,
you know, in Division two and Division three, and I
thought it was pretty awesome. You know, we had moments
where nobody believed we could do things, and you know,
made it to the Elite eight. I think we made
it to the final four one year. You know, those
are those are things that you know, our memories that
(30:48):
will last absolutely forever. And I think, you know, why
not do it if if people are willing to do
it and you have the timeframe to do it in
why not?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Look, I believe twelve is like it's probably too many,
but the game are entertaining, so okay, make it twenty four.
That's fine. At least it'll be entertaining games that part. Yeah,
I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
And the stakes are higher, so that's a good thing. Yes,
got ahead.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Tell you coach, you've you've arrived at UCLA, amazing resources,
the bright lights of Hollywood there. What's the furthest you
felt away from this when you were coming up in
coaching Worcester?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, listen, I went to school there. I tell
me a single thing. I went to school at Clark University.
Give me a single thing you miss about wister anyway?
Speaker 9 (31:30):
The people? Okay, the people, man, I missed the people.
I missed the people at a high level. We spent
eleven years there and they're just some of the toughest,
most blue collar, great people. That's why mess truly. But
I think probably when I became a head coach at
Salve Regina University, which you've probably, I mean from Clark,
you've heard of, but probably nobody else on here has.
(31:52):
That's a Division III school in Newport, Rhode Island. Our
stadium was three miles off campus. We played at a
middle school football field all right, where our kids had
to drive their cars every single day to practice with
their pads on because there was no locker room up there.
We had to practice at six am. We had to
be done by eight because at eight oh one that
(32:14):
the elementary school had a free period where the kids
were able to walk around the track and you couldn't
be on the track anymore if they were out there.
I also did softball game management, where I was responsible for,
you know, raking the field and throwing down the quick
dry and figure out if we could if we could
actually play that day. That was my call as the
head coach. I was also in charge of work study
(32:34):
at that place where everybody that did any work study
in athletics I had to submit their cards or they
want to get paid. And it was a two week cycle,
so that would probably be I was doing the equipment inventory.
I was doing laundry at one point. That would probably
be the furthest way that I felt for it.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
And now you have someone doing the laundry for you. Yes,
that's amazing, Yes.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Yes that is That's that's the bonus here.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Yeah, Bob, have you been able to give the proper
assessments to in and out Burger, because I believe it's
gotten a bad rap. I every time I've had it,
I've enjoyed it. Love much, Yes, love it.
Speaker 9 (33:06):
I think it's phenomenal. I think it's phenomenal. I think
that they do such a good job the cheese to
meet ratios. Phenomenal. They melted cheese perfectly. It's a I mean,
there's nothing better.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
That's what I'm talking about. That's proper. Does it bother
you at all that you get compared to a lot
to usc legend to Pete Carroll, No.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
I mean I admire the heck out of him. I
think that, you know, I've followed his career for a
long time. There were you know, many years where I,
you know, from a distance, just admired the heck out
of the juice he brought to it every single day,
the connection he had with his players, the fun and
joy he had playing this game, you know, and did
it at a high level. I think, you know, he's phenomenal,
(33:48):
and you know, I haven't met him yet, but I
look forward to having an opportunity to do that in
their future.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
It's an amazing place, Bob, we've arrived at in college football.
If I told you a decade ago that Indiana was
going to be the number one program in America, you
would have told me once.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
I said, who's the coach? Is what I would have said,
That's what I would have said. But no, it's wild.
It is wild, and I think that it's just one
of those things that gives everybody a lot of hope.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Right.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
It's the same thing when you're talking about the playoff thing.
If you're saying it's only however many teams, you know,
would you at the beginning of the season putting Indiana
in there? You know, two years ago, probably not, And
here they are doing what they do, so, you know,
I think they're they're a first class organization, and Coach
Signey does such a great job, and they kept their
staff intact when he made that move from JMU, And
(34:36):
there's just a lot of things that that culture already
was moving by the time they hit the ground running
in Indiana. So I just think there's a lot of
a lot of positives from that program for sure, you know.
And I, you know, just really cool to watch it
from the outside.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
And Coach I feel like from the outside looking in,
you followed a bit to Signette's playbook bringing some of
your guys to JMU to kind of help ease that transition.
I just want to circle back for a second. I
never really got an ant her too, if you like
the nickname the Bob Mob.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Like all great coaches, he he dodged the question, he
avoided it.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
I really liked your question, your set up to your question.
I was ready for a real one in there and the.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Old change up.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
I don't mind. I don't mind it. I don't mind
any Any support is good support.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
All right, Bob we are U c l A brewin
fans for life. Now, Okay, if we come out to
a game, I expect sideline passes. I want access, unlimited access.
All right, we're coming out to a deal.
Speaker 9 (35:29):
Done, done, deal, done deal. You spend time on Clark
at Clark University.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I deserve it.

five years in wis the Yeah, thank you, all right, Bob,

A Bruins. We'll wrap it up after this.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I'm so glad we could actually hear him eventually because
it kind of sounds like Tom Brady a little bit.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yes, he sounds like a coach. I would want to
play for it for sure.

quick game of hand up. I was, Sam, this is
dangerous against the hard network out. Mike Ye's making a
face and he should make a face. Very dangerous game,
I was, Sam, give me the imaging music whatever we
have back there.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
I think there it is.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
It's yeah, yeah, because we haven't played hand up in
a while. Yeah, that's right, I can start.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
It for us. Yeah, please do yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Hand up. When the other team didn't have enough people
for softball yesterday, yeah, I pointed towards Izzy and said,
you guys could take him.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
What a jerk you offered up Izzy to the other team.
If you know, my god, it was a scrimmage, you
know what I said?
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Specifically, as I was walking back to our dugout, I
was like, if they're taking players.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
I'm definitely staying on this team.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Get jerk.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
That's why they kept looking at you.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
He's choking it up to a scrimmage. If it was
Game two of the World Series, the most important game
you would.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Still give is you we That's not all I'm saying
is Taylor, you better be there next Saturday by playoffs

Away and hit my face.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
What by a man or one?
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Nobody went by a man bike ya?
Speaker 1 (37:43):
And I was like.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
One group of people would call me Mike yea.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yes, and I ran away.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
My group of people run into a turtle shell?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
There go ahead? Is he? Oh? A man?
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Hand up? I suppose I like to brag a lot
about since ever since I've been training with my leg
guy buddy doctor Blake, that I don't have any back issues.
I hurt my back coughing in the shower this evening.
Speaker 6 (38:06):
That's how it starts.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
There was just one aggressive cough and it was just
what is that?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yeah? Hand up? Talking about not having back issues always
is going to give you a back issue.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Yeah, you can't mess with a karma like that. Is
that your hand up?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
You? No? I improvised, I mean he jinks himself.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
