If you're ready for a new job, let Express Employment
professionals help well. Express helps people in all industries find work.
Our sweet spot is logistics rules and Express never charges
job seekers if we go to Expresspros dot Com. I
(00:42):
love new and emerging jobs. New and emerging jobs we
just do. Maybe it's I like new. I mean, if
you get right down to it kind of you know.
Theme in life is when I got to a place
in college pasthsketball where when we'd lose a game, I
(01:03):
would never wear those shoes in a game ever again. Oftentimes,
never wear the shoes ever again. Didn't do that under
Dame lost seventeen games that year, did lose eleven my
second year at Oklahoma State. That was a lot of sneakers. Well,
we went through them. But the point is that there
was a time when we were kids when you needed
to break in new sneakers, and for whatever reason, it
(01:26):
felt like the early nineties that went away and you
could just throw them on and you're ready to go now.
Especially so when I travel on the road. When I travel,
that's kind of redundant travel on the road, when I
travel for any work that I have the gottled method
of finding the right car. Full disclosure, I'm a National guy.
(01:51):
National has Emerald Isle. I have the highest level of status.
Why because I mean I've been working for twenty five
years or so twenty three years and when I started,
ESPN had a deal with National and I just became
a National guy. Anyway, when I go National, I will
literally go car to car to car to car to car,
(02:13):
because you know, Emerald Lyle, you get to go and
pick your vehicle and I'll try and find the car
with the lowest amount of miles. Why. Well, a couple
of things. One very rarely does a car break down
if it's got like a couple hundred miles on it right,
nobody wants it, and I've had a rental car that
broke down before. Secondly, who does like new car smell?
(02:34):
New jobs are fun, New houses are fun. New computers,
though problem is set up, they're still fun, like, oh
my god, they got this cool thing. New phones, like
who doesn't get a new phone as often as they can?
Although you just keep kind of kicking it, you know,
kicking the can down the road. So there are new
jobs in college athletics. One is that of general manager.
(02:56):
General manager. So there's the trip option podcast and Urban Meyer,
who I mentioned this. I understand it didn't work out
in Jacksonville's there's some embarrassment because of the photos and
videos of the one night in the bar. But erb
Meyer was a stud mean as a Notre dame. As
an assistant head coach at Bowling Green, they won Utah,
(03:19):
they went undefeated, beat beat an SEC team in a
bowl game, goes to Florida, wins a couple of national championships,
goes to Ajas Day wins the national championship. Like widely
seen as if Saban's one a, he's one big. He
told this story about a conversation he had about being
(03:41):
a GM of a college football program on that podcast
Take a Listen.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I had a school come see me this year and
asked if I wanted to be the GM, and a
couple other phone calls and you start to think, Okay,
they actually came to see me, and so let's see.
I will meet and I'll sit down with you guys.
And I said, okay, what is the job description? Well, basically,
you handle all the you know, you meet with all
the agents of the seventeen eighteen year olds. And I
(04:06):
thought I'd rather step on a russ now now and
pull it out myself. I mean, what in the but'
if that's what you got to do, jump God bless
your brother.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, I you know, yes, there are agents agents in
quote that are not real agents that you have to
deal with, but I would. And maybe it's that's where
Meyra is that he doesn't want to deal with any
of the runners, which I'm sure he had to deal
with when he was at Ohio State, when he was
at Florida, who are now agents. I think the process
(04:38):
of having to recruit the same guys over and over again,
right like you get him used to have him for
four years or they transferred, they had to sit out.
Now they don't. So every years of free agency, which
is just a mess, just a mess. But there is
something to being the guy who just gets to evaluate
and select more so than do the day they I
(05:00):
actually don't think, you know, like if he was doing
being the agent, being the GM, that doesn't necessarily means
he could negotiate. However he wants to negotiate. If you
put Urban Meyer, who's won a couple of national championships
at two different places, in charge, and he tells the
head coach, I'm not dealing with this kid because of
this agent, what's the head coach going to do? Like
(05:21):
that's what that's the trust that you have in him.
We have a team with I think eight new guys
so far, only one has an agent, and it was
the agent was great. Wouldn't have gotten done without him,
and we didn't recruit guys just because they didn't have agents.
(05:42):
But it does become an out of benefit. On the
other hand, ideal with agents on a daily basis what
you got, who's left, who'd you recommend? We just we
put this dirty word on agents. I think we I
think people do the same thing to college coaches, Like,
that's the crazy part about it, is urban meyers talking
like agents are scum of the earth. When don't people
(06:04):
see college coaches as the same thing. It's like pot
callin kettle, and I don't think either are true. I
don't think either are true, but that is the perception.
It is a mess, It is a lot. And I
also know that when when you're talking the top of
college football, the numbers, you're adding zeros and commas that
(06:24):
don't we don't have and more money is more problems,
and it's the deal isn't over once you give them
the money or give them the contract, because now you've
given an eighteen nineteen, twenty twenty year old, twenty two
year old kid an absorbentent sum of money that they're
not used to having, and their only barrier between themselves
(06:46):
and spending it all is probably the agent. And maybe
you don't trust the agent either. Yikes. I don't think
it's as bad as people perceive, or at least my
experience isn't. I also don't think the money is says
good for the players as people want to perceive, and
that's generally discussed among all coaches but Herbert Meyer going like,
(07:10):
I'd rather what did he say? I'd rather something with nails,
put nails through my eye, or walk on nails that strong.
So you don't want to, So you say you don't
want to do it? You sure, like, yeah, I pretty
sure I don't want to. It's like walking on glass,
Like I don't want to do it. I don't know.
(07:34):
I mean, it's it's a widely held belief. And the
reason is you can get turned off by just one kid.
You know. I have guys that every day send me
text that they're grateful, they're thankful, and you can sit
there and tell yourself, hey, yeah, it's because you're a
(07:54):
lower level and you know those guys haven't. Okay, you
can find plenty of dudes that are great bunny, guys
are thankful, probably the top of a college football. There's
some differences there. I'm understanding of it. I just don't
think it's the worst thing ever. I don't think it's
the best thing ever. I don't think it's saved college athletics.
I think it made it muckier and in many ways dirtier.
(08:21):
But it's different. And to say, you know, when urban's
main experience has been helping Ohio State out more so
than doing it himself.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's not Gotlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. So one year
into the true college football playoff and already we're making
changes or we want to make changes to who gets
what spots whatever RT Your Mark and the Big Twelve
held instead of there like the media day in a
hotel room, they went down and did at the Star,
which is Jerry Jones practice facility, which has a football
(09:07):
stadium in that It's got a little bit of everything.
And I think your Mark's done a great job. I
think the League Football League is very mid but they've
made made its reputation act like it's better than it
really is. Right. I mean, take the Big Twelve, take
out Texas and Oklahoma, and you got a lot of
(09:28):
teams that have been fine. Obviously Arizona State surprised that
a ton of people last year, but at a conference
like Olhoma State is one of their worst teams and
they beat Arkansas. Other than that, disappointing at a conference,
and that's why they struggled to get teams into the playoff. Now,
remember you go back to last year. Before last year,
they could have had a setup where they had guaranteed
(09:51):
two teams in the College Fotball playoff. So now when
it's been proposed that the Big ten and the SEC
get four and the Big twelve gets two and the
ACC gets two, the Big twelve and ACC rejected it.
Here's Brett yormark.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Five eleven is is fair. We want to earn it
on the field. It might not be the best solution
today for the Big twelve, but long term, knowing the
progress we're making, the investments were making, it's the right
format for us. And I'm doubling down today on five
to eleven. And I know Jim Phillips will, and I'm
sure some of the other conference commissioners will as well.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No Jim Phillips will know the colleague. You know again,
it's the ACC and the Big twelve trying to see
some solidarity, and their whole thing is, hey, we're going
to be good enough on the field, we need to
predetermine it. And you know again, maybe it's he's rolling
the dice because he thinks last year was an outliar.
But I don't know. I think it keeps trending the
(10:51):
way of the SEC in the Big Ten, having better
players as they have more money, have more money. And
He's like to Jim Fill's like, hey, Jim, me and
you work together, right, And Jim I was like, I
can't hear. I don't we get two bids If I
say yes, I think I'm gonna We searched for our
(11:13):
entire lives to get the College Wall Playoff and they
kind of butchered the selection last year. We still had
a true champion. It was fine, We're already making changes
to it. College football is amazing. Doesn't change for one
hundred years then changes and people like, yeah, that sucks,

got to be a fairly significant purchase financially. I'll go first.
(11:59):
So I get back from I played in Russia my
first year, and I believe it or not, we won
every game except for one. And that's when I played
with the juniors, because we had already advanced to the
playoffs semi finals. Because we won the league by like
four games, dominant team euro great. And because we won
(12:24):
the league, we won our European league, we won the championship.
I got a bonus, so I had. I was burning
the cash, just burned a hole in my pocket. And
when I got back, bought my first house just off
thirty sixth Street in Oklahoma City. If you're driving down
two thirty five and you see the thirty sixth Street exit,
(12:46):
I was right there in Edgemere Park, great little neighborhood,
cute little house. So by this house, and this is
gonna be home base. I'm going to travel the world.
Right then nine to eleven happens and everything shuts down.
(13:08):
So we got this cool little house and we end
up going to Israel, come back, and now I'm I
got I got an audition at at ESPN. I did
games for a year, I did local radio, and I
got a little extra money, and I'm like, you know
what I need to get, and I want a new car.
(13:30):
I had a Ford F one fifty. I had traded
out my bid a Chevy Blazer for most of college,
and then I got a Ford F one fifty. So
I go to a Lexus dealership. There's a used GS
three fifty, which is a cool car. Maybe maybe in
GS four fifty I think, which is a faster one
(13:51):
rear wheel drive. And that wasn't the beat. That was
a questionable purchase. Cat high miles with lexis whatever, but
real wheel driving. Then I got a job at ESPN.
A year later, I'm like, why did I get a
real WORL drive car in the snow? That was questionable?
But I bought some flawed rims. Some flawed rims. What
(14:12):
was the flaw in the rim? Well? They had just
a little scratch in him. Turns out that scratch was
actually a hole and it was a leak they could
never close up even when they tried to solder it closed.
So instead of paying like three thousand dollars for rims
and tires. It was like a barget at like a
thousand dollars from time. But it didn't matter because one
of the tires kept going flat anyway because the rim
has a hole in it. Terrible purchase. Took a bath
(14:34):
in the car, and I got another truck when I
went up to Connecticut, Jay stew worst big purchase you
ever made.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Let's see here. I think I really wanted to buy
an OUTI, and I didn't make enough money to buy
an OUTI. I love Audi's. Uh So, first time around,
I think it was three or four, I was driving
a Honda Civic and there are a lot of cars
that will just score you women just on site, and
(15:08):
a Honda Civic is not one of them. So I
traded that in and my financial status at that point
was I was upside down on the Honda Civic loan.
So this tells you how responsible it was to upgrade
into an Audi. So they threw the loan of the
Honda Civic that I was upside down on into the
new loan for the Audi. My car payment was, to say,
(15:33):
the least cost prohibitive. And then that doesn't even factor
the fact that on the used AUTI trying to fix
it when it's when it's that's the thing. I remember
my dad said this and it was very prophetic, and
he said it in a very fatherly way. I said, Dad,
I bought an Audi. He's like, awesome, that's amazing, son.
(15:53):
Can you afford it? And I said, yeah, I got
the payments. I think I could you know the income
to payments and he's like, no, no, no, could you afford
to fix it? I didn't know how prophetic that would be.
And when you win a when a high performance German
car breaks down in any capacity, expect to pay ten
(16:15):
times more for the for the fix than you would
a I don't know Japanese car or American car. So anyways,
lesson learned and I got out from under that car
as well, uh Ilo.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Worst purchase you've ever made.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
A ticket to go see Batman and Robin with George Clooney.
I was gonna say this this topic for Isaac because
I'm so cheap. There's really not a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I've learned one thing from Isaac, and all the time
that he's filled in for us over the years, I
don't remember him spending any money.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
It's part of my part of my brand.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I'm guessing he lives in a hostel with his wife
and kids.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Depends on your spelling of hostile, but okay, and he
takes the bus to work. Jason Stewart is my hypeman.
By the way, I honestly don't have too many things.
I mean maybe a gym membership. I traded in my
gym membership for a set of adjustable dumbbells that I
(17:18):
keep in the backyard. Unfortunately I haven't seen the fruits
of that. But yeah, I'm so cheap.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
I don't have a lot to add around here.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm sorry, all right, Ryan, worst purchase you've ever made.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I got a couple of one is. I had just
gotten into PCs computers and I wanted to get a laptop.
And I spent way too much on this fancy laptop. Now,
it was great. It probably costs me over like two
thousand dollars, and it was great, it was fast. But
I didn't know that you can't really upgrade a laptop
(17:53):
because once it gets old, you can't like switch out
and put it in at a better mother or something
like that. You can't. So now in my apartment, I
have a twenty five dollars, just paperweight, and it's pretty
much it's slow, and it's just useless. All it does
is collect dust. Now, the second one is a ticket
(18:14):
to go see The Last Jedi.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
This is a running joke between Ryan and I where
Ryan thinks it's one of the worst movies ever made.
It basically takes away everything from the rest of the
Star Wars series. Jarge Jarpink's notwithstanding with the worst part
of the series.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I tend to agree. I tend to agree with that.
I didn't know that was Ryan's take.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, it's definitely Ryan's take.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Here's the context. In recent weeks, Christina and I finished
second season of and Or, Okay, a really good series,
great writing, great acting, and then we're like, hey, this
would be cool. We'll go We'll do what they want
you to do. So second season of and Or, into
Rogue one, into New Hope, and we watched all of them,
(19:06):
you know, not on the same day, but in a row.
And you know what it did.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Doug.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
I've always loved the original Star Wars, It'll always have
a place in my heart, But compared to and Or
and Rogue one, Star Wars Or, I'm not even talking
about the special effects. You kind of forgive that in
your mind. The writing and the acting of New Hope
is so laughable when you put it up against those two.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Am I right, Ryan, it's a different type of Uh
it's a TV show and this is a movie that
came out in the seventies.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
It's a little dated.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
On what and or does it shows you like the
ground level, how everything started, why the Empires hated so much.
They show some dark, dark themes and they weren't really
doing that stuff in the seventies, so I kind of
like give them a little leadway.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, it's it's interesting and or kind of changed, right
it was it felt like season one was one thing,
and then it became much more interesting, much more thematically
about the Resistance than anything else, and uh, less action,
you know, especially for a Star anything Star Wars. And
(20:18):
I like it a great deal. By the way, I'm
struggling with season two only that I've been throwing it
in to fall asleep too and then just falling asleep
and like where am I what do I start with?
So I'm not yet through season two, although it's been
weeks of trying. I bring up the biggest waste of
money because Joe Burrow was going to buy the original
(20:42):
bat the real Batmobile from I think the Bain Right
Bain Batman, and I think there's only a handful. A
was like three of them. He was gonna buy it
for three million dollars. Now here's Burrow's reasoning behind it.
I didn't end up getting the bat meal because I
just had other things I wanted to deal with at
that point. I get uncomfortable when my life is very public.
(21:04):
And you know that comes with the job, but there's
a certain part of your life that are yours. Your
house is one of those when that gets violated, people
find out where you live and all these different things.
Not everybody's failures, not everybody's failures at their job are
in front of the whole world. It's a very vulnerable
position to be in. I put myself in that position
because I love it. I don't like the other part
(21:27):
of it. Okay, So his house was broken into, and
the way that everybody found out he was buying the
batmobile was because of the key the QB Show, which
he's miked up for, and he was like, yeah, I
bought the batmobile for three million dollars. I also think
that part of it is he realized it's a terrible purchase,
(21:50):
not because it's not cool, like it's cool to go
like I own the Batmobile. You know, it's one of
three and you could probably flip a profit on it,
but it it feels a little dB ish a little bit,
and like how many other things would you rather have
(22:10):
for three million dollars than just about one car? Right?
One car? Or I mean, look, Joe Burrow comes out
to La every summer. I'm sure he's thinking, like, well,
three million dollars for a car, or yeah, I get
something on the water for like five or six and
that's only going to increase and I can stay in
it every day when I come throw in southern California.
(22:33):
I kind of think you saved himself from a really
bad purchase. Plus, if you buy the three million dollar Batmobile,
like can you drive that out in public? And if
you do, God, it's got to be hard to find
a parking spot. You know, you gotta valet it everywhere
you go. But if you valet it, I'm sure it
doesn't have valet mode. So you gotta trust that the
valet he's not gonna take it and drive around like
anything that gets like a scratch on a three million
(22:53):
dollar car. Can you imagine, like we've all had brand
new cars before, how long is that window where you
park around nobody? What do you guys think a couple
of weeks. Some people take a couple of days, like ah,
some people will go like the first year, two years
not parked by anybody. Imagine if you have a three
million dollar car and then you pull in, you know,
(23:15):
there's always one guy. You could park all the way
at the end, nobody buy you, and they're just gonna
come park next to you.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
I think there's an index depending on the value of
the car. Like I was just throwing my two thousand
Toyota Corolla around anywhere it didn't matter. But I think
as the value of your car goes up, the amount
of care you put into parking it goes way up.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, I mean that thing also looks really wide. You
can't do the monthly car wash thing, you know, where
it's like forty bucks and you vacuument out yourself. Honestly,
it just feels like a pain, Like yeah, I really
like it, but it's kind of a pain in the ars.
Pay in the ars. And I also think there's a
threshold that which you should never buy a car worth
(23:56):
more than whatever, same thing with a house, like I
would rather have multiple houses than like one. Did you
see Have you guys seen the pictures or the drone
of Will Smith's house? Oh?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I know all about it.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Oh it's amazing, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, he's got tennis court, basketball court, golf everything, which
is awesome when you go like, well, I never have
to leave. But then and you get to pick the
people you interact with. But you know, is that what
you want? I don't know. It would feel both isolating
and then it would feel like there's people in your space.
(24:35):
Like one of the great things about you go to
a golf course, you bring into a country club, right,
you go and around people, But when you want to
be away from those people, you go home and now
they're not there. If you have a little golf course
at your house and you know you invite people over,
well they're never leaving until you tell them like, okay,
you gotta go. I know these are not problems that
(24:56):
any of us have, but I'm sure there's a threshold
that you don't want to spend the much money on.
I think the I think all that stuff aside, Like
he doesn't like that it became public. He knows everywhere
he would go in public people would see the batmobile.
Combine that with the fact that they didn't win a ton,
Combine that with the fact that he got his house
broken into, and he just feels like, you know, whatever
(25:16):
kind of a mental and emotional target he has on
his back anyway would be magnified if he's driving around
in a three million dollar batmobile that you can't hide it.
It's not like there's like, oh well, because like I
have a nice car, but I have the same car
that Matt Lafleur drives. So when I drive around, people
think it's Matt Lafleur. It's great I have out. They're
totally disappointed. It's beauty to it.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
What happens when Matt Lafleur is driving around if people
mistake him for you as well, No, he's.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Matt Lafleur, better hair, better record, probably a better coach.
For forty years, Tyrek has been helping customers find the
right tires for how what where they drive. Ship Fast
and free back by free Road has protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire Slation, tyre dot Com. The
way I are buying should be the worst is when
(26:04):
you like, you buy something, you get really excited about it,
and you're literally walking out of the door, like what
did I just do? I can't imagine buying a three
million dollar car. I just got up charged that at Costco.
Like I walk into I roll in the Costco. I
got this big thing and think They're like, you know,
if you pay forty eight dollars a year, you can
get two percent cash back. It calculates out too if
(26:25):
you spend two hundred and seventy five dollars. And I'm like,
will you leave me alone if I get this? They're like, yes, okay, fine,
I got like six hundred dollars worth of stuff from Costco.
But I know I'm never gonna go to Costco again
this year, totally up charge. So I'm walking out the door.
I'm like, should I have done that? I'm like, credit
card thing went through. I'm a dope, But at least
(26:50):
I didn't buy a three million dollar batmobile that actually
should be on the back of every cheesy, ugly shirt
we buy as men. Right, what's the genes that I've
still seen them in some Midwest cities. They have like
studs on the on the on the butt pockets. Jay Stu,
(27:13):
Oh man, they were, I don't know, eight ten years ago,
really popular.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
I'm glad you asked Ja Stu for advice on that
one first instead of the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Do you know it?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Does it look like I know it?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Okay, That's why I asked Jase too. Jase Dou is
all things pop culture right, like, he's.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Are you guys, are you talking about the rock revival?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Jeans uh No, but that's that's part of it.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Rosewood Rock Revival.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Sound like Affliction, but they still sell Affliction stuff. It's
not like Affliction stuff, but that stuff still exists. I
just can't imagine buying one and going like, man, I
wish i'd have my money back there Affliction. Jase Dou
Did you have an Affliction shirt back in the day.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
No, that's not my vibe. Don't you have Don't you
have to punch people in the face if you were those?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I feel like, yeah, they'll be. I feel like if
UFC really has a fight at the White House, there
will be at least fifteen people wearing something Affliction. Fifteen

you get there? Isaac A Longe.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Crime, Well, Doug, we got another season of the UH
Netflix series The Quarterback, That documentary coming out and UH.
As part of a recently released snippet, Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Kirk Cousins weighed in on his departure from Minnesota, his
(29:51):
journey to Atlanta, and then the Falcons drafting Michael Pennox junior.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Wasn't expecting us to take a quarterback so high at
the time, it felt like I had been a little
bit misled or certainly if I had the information around freegency,
it certainly would have affected my decision. I had no
reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it
there if both teams are going to be drafting a
quarterback high. But I've also learned in twelve years in
(30:19):
this league that you're not entitled anything.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It's all about.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Being able to earn your spot and prove yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, I mean, I think that's one of those quotes
that read's worse than it actually was. But I do
think that if he was honest and what didn't give
the Kirk Cousins politically correct answer, he would go like, yeah,
what are we doing? But we also honest. Kirk Cousins
was playing great, and then all of a sudden, he
sucked and then he tears his Achilles tenant and he's
(30:50):
out of the league. You know, now he's collecting checks
for not playing, So I don't know. Obviously Minnesota told
him they were going to draft a quarterback and Atlanta
did not, but it doesn't matter. He was still Atlanta's
starting quarterback even when he was playing terrible. So now
(31:15):
Pennix is the guy and he's gonna get paid to
not play.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
I've got another NFL related clip for you. This is
kind of a different type of clip. Are you familiar
with this new movie that's coming out. They're redoing The
Naked Gun with Liam Neeson now reprising the role of
the late Leslie Nielsen. Okay, so this clip was just
(31:41):
released today. So Liam Neeson is in the movie along
with Pamela Anderson. And the scene that you're about to
hear this this clip that got released today. It depicts
Neisen and Anderson discussing Neison's character's recently deceased wife and
suddenly takes a surprise using NFL related a turn with
(32:03):
one NFL team taking a stray at the very end,
listen closely.
Speaker 9 (32:08):
Excuse the mess. I haven't had the heart to clean
since she.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Mikendolo says, pass.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Great fifty rs, easy arm like a camera, and then
she died. She was the sweetest woman I've ever known.
She sounds like a scene or maybe a Bronco or
a forty nine er. We would have been happy with
any team, really, anyone put the Browns.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
So the Cleveland Browns even taking strays in the new
Naked Gun film with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
You're gonna see it, yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
All right, So I'm answe can we back up just
a second. Yes, I just put a couple of things together.
So the last actor that played Nick a Gun is
what's his name? You mean?
Speaker 6 (33:02):
The first guy Leslie Nielsen, right, and the new one
is Liam Liam Oh, same initials. Very good point. Yeah,
that's right of all to play the same character. You
have two guys with like mirror names, the same initials.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
I'll bet the producers didn't even know that until you
just said that. To be honest, that's very impressive that
you would.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Make that connection. That's just crazy to me. All Right, So.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Somewhere there's a kid who wants to be an actor
someday whose initials are l N and they'll be right
in line thirty five to forty years from now. I've
never heard of this ever before, ever before in sports
that I can think of, Doug, are you aware of
this major international soccer event that's going on right now
in the United States, the Club World Cup? No, exactly, Well,
(33:53):
that's kind of the problem. So anyway, I'm sure you're
familiar with the team Chelsea FC, one of the most
famous pro soccer teams in England. Absolutely well literally as
we're speaking right now, CHELSEAFC is playing the semi finals
of the Club World Cup at MetLife Stadium, the home
of the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
They're leading to nothing in the eighty seventh minute against
(34:16):
a team from Brazil. But the demand for tickets, and
this has been an issue throughout the Club World Cup,
as well as the fact that they're playing on a
Tuesday afternoon. The ticket prices dropped from four hundred and
seventy five dollars to thirteen dollars, and that led to today
multiple CHELSEAFC players, at least five of them, including the
(34:39):
team captain posting on their personal Instagram accounts links to
purchase tickets. So you have literal players from one of
the most powerful sports teams in the world posting tickets,
advertising their own matches on their own personal social media pages.
I honestly have not ever heard of anything like that,
(35:02):
but that happened today.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
So odd and said, but hey, for my entire life
to soccer has been and will continue to be the
support of the future.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Well that's that's been the discussion. I mean, I mean, look,
when we had the World Cup World Cup here in
ninety four, it was an absolute grand slam. It was
a phenomenon, it was awesome. But the Club World Cup
clearly has not moved the needle. All right, in other news,
it's being commemorated a lot on social media today. Would
(35:36):
you believe that today happens to be the fifteen year
anniversary of the decision Lebron James made for TV event
in which he announced that he would be taking his
talents to South Beach. So, Doug take it in any
direction you wanted. I mean, how is the decision aged?
(35:56):
How is it we've remembered and what do you remember
about it?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Fifteen years ago. Where were you working?
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Uh, Jim Rome show?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
But not at all? Was Jim working that day?
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Good question? He may have not been working. I mean
this this time of year. Jim took an like weeks
off July and August. Probably not, probably not.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
He was not working. Do you know how? I know?
Speaker 6 (36:23):
Oh, you were filling in.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I filled in on Jim Rome is burning and we
I the You know, Jim has writers and they wrote
they used his the half filled. It was something about
having a half filled sports bar celebration, celebrated as only
Miamians can, right, And sure enough we cut two shots
(36:45):
of half field sports bars, barely noticing the fact that
Lebron was coming to Miami. Uh, yeah, it was. It
was a weird. That was a weird one. I continue
to give it up to Chris Carter, the Hall of
Fame wide receiver. Three days before leaving for Southern California
to do that week of shows, I was walking across
(37:06):
ESPN's campus with Scott Van Pelt and we were talking
about I think Lebron and Chris Carter's walking the other
way and he's like, he's going to Miami. Yeah, he said,
he's going to Miami. I'm like who like Lebron, Like
Miami hadn't even been brought up. He's like, I talked
to world Wide West. Done deal, He's going to Miami.
Chris Carter had the news for everybody else, true story.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
May get out there and pressed that was the press.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
You do have to have a fall guy in the crew,
all right. We got fans of and Or on the show.
Who knew right? Three of us. Ilo doesn't get streaming,
although he'll gladly he'll gradly lift your your Disney log
on ID so then he could watch it as well.

If you're ready for a new job, let Express Employment
professionals help well. Express helps people in all industries find work.
Our sweet spot is logistics rules and Express never charges
job seekers if we go to Expresspros dot Com. I
(00:42):
love new and emerging jobs. New and emerging jobs we
just do. Maybe it's I like new. I mean, if
you get right down to it kind of you know.
Theme in life is when I got to a place
in college pasthsketball where when we'd lose a game, I
(01:03):
would never wear those shoes in a game ever again. Oftentimes,
never wear the shoes ever again. Didn't do that under
Dame lost seventeen games that year, did lose eleven my
second year at Oklahoma State. That was a lot of sneakers. Well,
we went through them. But the point is that there
was a time when we were kids when you needed
to break in new sneakers, and for whatever reason, it
(01:26):
felt like the early nineties that went away and you
could just throw them on and you're ready to go now.
Especially so when I travel on the road. When I travel,
that's kind of redundant travel on the road, when I
travel for any work that I have the gottled method
of finding the right car. Full disclosure, I'm a National guy.
(01:51):
National has Emerald Isle. I have the highest level of status.
Why because I mean I've been working for twenty five
years or so twenty three years and when I started,
ESPN had a deal with National and I just became
a National guy. Anyway, when I go National, I will
literally go car to car to car to car to car,
(02:13):
because you know, Emerald Lyle, you get to go and
pick your vehicle and I'll try and find the car
with the lowest amount of miles. Why. Well, a couple
of things. One very rarely does a car break down
if it's got like a couple hundred miles on it right,
nobody wants it, and I've had a rental car that
broke down before. Secondly, who does like new car smell?
(02:34):
New jobs are fun, New houses are fun. New computers,
though problem is set up, they're still fun, like, oh
my god, they got this cool thing. New phones, like
who doesn't get a new phone as often as they can?
Although you just keep kind of kicking it, you know,
kicking the can down the road. So there are new
jobs in college athletics. One is that of general manager.
(02:56):
General manager. So there's the trip option podcast and Urban Meyer,
who I mentioned this. I understand it didn't work out
in Jacksonville's there's some embarrassment because of the photos and
videos of the one night in the bar. But erb
Meyer was a stud mean as a Notre dame. As
an assistant head coach at Bowling Green, they won Utah,
(03:19):
they went undefeated, beat beat an SEC team in a
bowl game, goes to Florida, wins a couple of national championships,
goes to Ajas Day wins the national championship. Like widely
seen as if Saban's one a, he's one big. He
told this story about a conversation he had about being
(03:41):
a GM of a college football program on that podcast
Take a Listen.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I had a school come see me this year and
asked if I wanted to be the GM, and a
couple other phone calls and you start to think, Okay,
they actually came to see me, and so let's see.
I will meet and I'll sit down with you guys.
And I said, okay, what is the job description? Well, basically,
you handle all the you know, you meet with all
the agents of the seventeen eighteen year olds. And I
(04:06):
thought I'd rather step on a russ now now and
pull it out myself. I mean, what in the but'
if that's what you got to do, jump God bless
your brother.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, I you know, yes, there are agents agents in
quote that are not real agents that you have to
deal with, but I would. And maybe it's that's where
Meyra is that he doesn't want to deal with any
of the runners, which I'm sure he had to deal
with when he was at Ohio State, when he was
at Florida, who are now agents. I think the process
(04:38):
of having to recruit the same guys over and over again,
right like you get him used to have him for
four years or they transferred, they had to sit out.
Now they don't. So every years of free agency, which
is just a mess, just a mess. But there is
something to being the guy who just gets to evaluate
and select more so than do the day they I
(05:00):
actually don't think, you know, like if he was doing
being the agent, being the GM, that doesn't necessarily means
he could negotiate. However he wants to negotiate. If you
put Urban Meyer, who's won a couple of national championships
at two different places, in charge, and he tells the
head coach, I'm not dealing with this kid because of
this agent, what's the head coach going to do? Like
(05:21):
that's what that's the trust that you have in him.
We have a team with I think eight new guys
so far, only one has an agent, and it was
the agent was great. Wouldn't have gotten done without him,
and we didn't recruit guys just because they didn't have agents.
(05:42):
But it does become an out of benefit. On the
other hand, ideal with agents on a daily basis what
you got, who's left, who'd you recommend? We just we
put this dirty word on agents. I think we I
think people do the same thing to college coaches, Like,
that's the crazy part about it, is urban meyers talking
like agents are scum of the earth. When don't people
(06:04):
see college coaches as the same thing. It's like pot
callin kettle, and I don't think either are true. I
don't think either are true, but that is the perception.
It is a mess, It is a lot. And I
also know that when when you're talking the top of
college football, the numbers, you're adding zeros and commas that
(06:24):
don't we don't have and more money is more problems,
and it's the deal isn't over once you give them
the money or give them the contract, because now you've
given an eighteen nineteen, twenty twenty year old, twenty two
year old kid an absorbentent sum of money that they're
not used to having, and their only barrier between themselves
(06:46):
and spending it all is probably the agent. And maybe
you don't trust the agent either. Yikes. I don't think
it's as bad as people perceive, or at least my
experience isn't. I also don't think the money is says
good for the players as people want to perceive, and
that's generally discussed among all coaches but Herbert Meyer going like,
(07:10):
I'd rather what did he say? I'd rather something with nails,
put nails through my eye, or walk on nails that strong.
So you don't want to, So you say you don't
want to do it? You sure, like, yeah, I pretty
sure I don't want to. It's like walking on glass,
Like I don't want to do it. I don't know.
(07:34):
I mean, it's it's a widely held belief. And the
reason is you can get turned off by just one kid.
You know. I have guys that every day send me
text that they're grateful, they're thankful, and you can sit
there and tell yourself, hey, yeah, it's because you're a
(07:54):
lower level and you know those guys haven't. Okay, you
can find plenty of dudes that are great bunny, guys
are thankful, probably the top of a college football. There's
some differences there. I'm understanding of it. I just don't
think it's the worst thing ever. I don't think it's
the best thing ever. I don't think it's saved college athletics.
I think it made it muckier and in many ways dirtier.
(08:21):
But it's different. And to say, you know, when urban's
main experience has been helping Ohio State out more so
than doing it himself.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's not Gotlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. So one year
into the true college football playoff and already we're making
changes or we want to make changes to who gets
what spots whatever RT Your Mark and the Big Twelve
held instead of there like the media day in a
hotel room, they went down and did at the Star,
which is Jerry Jones practice facility, which has a football
(09:07):
stadium in that It's got a little bit of everything.
And I think your Mark's done a great job. I
think the League Football League is very mid but they've
made made its reputation act like it's better than it
really is. Right. I mean, take the Big Twelve, take
out Texas and Oklahoma, and you got a lot of
(09:28):
teams that have been fine. Obviously Arizona State surprised that
a ton of people last year, but at a conference
like Olhoma State is one of their worst teams and
they beat Arkansas. Other than that, disappointing at a conference,
and that's why they struggled to get teams into the playoff. Now,
remember you go back to last year. Before last year,
they could have had a setup where they had guaranteed
(09:51):
two teams in the College Fotball playoff. So now when
it's been proposed that the Big ten and the SEC
get four and the Big twelve gets two and the
ACC gets two, the Big twelve and ACC rejected it.
Here's Brett yormark.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Five eleven is is fair. We want to earn it
on the field. It might not be the best solution
today for the Big twelve, but long term, knowing the
progress we're making, the investments were making, it's the right
format for us. And I'm doubling down today on five
to eleven. And I know Jim Phillips will, and I'm
sure some of the other conference commissioners will as well.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No Jim Phillips will know the colleague. You know again,
it's the ACC and the Big twelve trying to see
some solidarity, and their whole thing is, hey, we're going
to be good enough on the field, we need to
predetermine it. And you know again, maybe it's he's rolling
the dice because he thinks last year was an outliar.
But I don't know. I think it keeps trending the
(10:51):
way of the SEC in the Big Ten, having better
players as they have more money, have more money. And
He's like to Jim Fill's like, hey, Jim, me and
you work together, right, And Jim I was like, I
can't hear. I don't we get two bids If I
say yes, I think I'm gonna We searched for our
(11:13):
entire lives to get the College Wall Playoff and they
kind of butchered the selection last year. We still had
a true champion. It was fine, We're already making changes
to it. College football is amazing. Doesn't change for one
hundred years then changes and people like, yeah, that sucks,

got to be a fairly significant purchase financially. I'll go first.
(11:59):
So I get back from I played in Russia my
first year, and I believe it or not, we won
every game except for one. And that's when I played
with the juniors, because we had already advanced to the
playoffs semi finals. Because we won the league by like
four games, dominant team euro great. And because we won
(12:24):
the league, we won our European league, we won the championship.
I got a bonus, so I had. I was burning
the cash, just burned a hole in my pocket. And
when I got back, bought my first house just off
thirty sixth Street in Oklahoma City. If you're driving down
two thirty five and you see the thirty sixth Street exit,
(12:46):
I was right there in Edgemere Park, great little neighborhood,
cute little house. So by this house, and this is
gonna be home base. I'm going to travel the world.
Right then nine to eleven happens and everything shuts down.
(13:08):
So we got this cool little house and we end
up going to Israel, come back, and now I'm I
got I got an audition at at ESPN. I did
games for a year, I did local radio, and I
got a little extra money, and I'm like, you know
what I need to get, and I want a new car.
(13:30):
I had a Ford F one fifty. I had traded
out my bid a Chevy Blazer for most of college,
and then I got a Ford F one fifty. So
I go to a Lexus dealership. There's a used GS
three fifty, which is a cool car. Maybe maybe in
GS four fifty I think, which is a faster one
(13:51):
rear wheel drive. And that wasn't the beat. That was
a questionable purchase. Cat high miles with lexis whatever, but
real wheel driving. Then I got a job at ESPN.
A year later, I'm like, why did I get a
real WORL drive car in the snow? That was questionable?
But I bought some flawed rims. Some flawed rims. What
(14:12):
was the flaw in the rim? Well? They had just
a little scratch in him. Turns out that scratch was
actually a hole and it was a leak they could
never close up even when they tried to solder it closed.
So instead of paying like three thousand dollars for rims
and tires. It was like a barget at like a
thousand dollars from time. But it didn't matter because one
of the tires kept going flat anyway because the rim
has a hole in it. Terrible purchase. Took a bath
(14:34):
in the car, and I got another truck when I
went up to Connecticut, Jay stew worst big purchase you
ever made.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Let's see here. I think I really wanted to buy
an OUTI, and I didn't make enough money to buy
an OUTI. I love Audi's. Uh So, first time around,
I think it was three or four, I was driving
a Honda Civic and there are a lot of cars
that will just score you women just on site, and
(15:08):
a Honda Civic is not one of them. So I
traded that in and my financial status at that point
was I was upside down on the Honda Civic loan.
So this tells you how responsible it was to upgrade
into an Audi. So they threw the loan of the
Honda Civic that I was upside down on into the
new loan for the Audi. My car payment was, to say,
(15:33):
the least cost prohibitive. And then that doesn't even factor
the fact that on the used AUTI trying to fix
it when it's when it's that's the thing. I remember
my dad said this and it was very prophetic, and
he said it in a very fatherly way. I said, Dad,
I bought an Audi. He's like, awesome, that's amazing, son.
(15:53):
Can you afford it? And I said, yeah, I got
the payments. I think I could you know the income
to payments and he's like, no, no, no, could you afford
to fix it? I didn't know how prophetic that would be.
And when you win a when a high performance German
car breaks down in any capacity, expect to pay ten
(16:15):
times more for the for the fix than you would
a I don't know Japanese car or American car. So anyways,
lesson learned and I got out from under that car
as well, uh Ilo.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Worst purchase you've ever made.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
A ticket to go see Batman and Robin with George Clooney.
I was gonna say this this topic for Isaac because
I'm so cheap. There's really not a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I've learned one thing from Isaac, and all the time
that he's filled in for us over the years, I
don't remember him spending any money.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
It's part of my part of my brand.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I'm guessing he lives in a hostel with his wife
and kids.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Depends on your spelling of hostile, but okay, and he
takes the bus to work. Jason Stewart is my hypeman.
By the way, I honestly don't have too many things.
I mean maybe a gym membership. I traded in my
gym membership for a set of adjustable dumbbells that I
(17:18):
keep in the backyard. Unfortunately I haven't seen the fruits
of that. But yeah, I'm so cheap.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
I don't have a lot to add around here.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm sorry, all right, Ryan, worst purchase you've ever made.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I got a couple of one is. I had just
gotten into PCs computers and I wanted to get a laptop.
And I spent way too much on this fancy laptop. Now,
it was great. It probably costs me over like two
thousand dollars, and it was great, it was fast. But
I didn't know that you can't really upgrade a laptop
(17:53):
because once it gets old, you can't like switch out
and put it in at a better mother or something
like that. You can't. So now in my apartment, I
have a twenty five dollars, just paperweight, and it's pretty
much it's slow, and it's just useless. All it does
is collect dust. Now, the second one is a ticket
(18:14):
to go see The Last Jedi.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
This is a running joke between Ryan and I where
Ryan thinks it's one of the worst movies ever made.
It basically takes away everything from the rest of the
Star Wars series. Jarge Jarpink's notwithstanding with the worst part
of the series.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I tend to agree. I tend to agree with that.
I didn't know that was Ryan's take.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, it's definitely Ryan's take.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Here's the context. In recent weeks, Christina and I finished
second season of and Or, Okay, a really good series,
great writing, great acting, and then we're like, hey, this
would be cool. We'll go We'll do what they want
you to do. So second season of and Or, into
Rogue one, into New Hope, and we watched all of them,
(19:06):
you know, not on the same day, but in a row.
And you know what it did.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Doug.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
I've always loved the original Star Wars, It'll always have
a place in my heart, But compared to and Or
and Rogue one, Star Wars Or, I'm not even talking
about the special effects. You kind of forgive that in
your mind. The writing and the acting of New Hope
is so laughable when you put it up against those two.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Am I right, Ryan, it's a different type of Uh
it's a TV show and this is a movie that
came out in the seventies.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
It's a little dated.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
On what and or does it shows you like the
ground level, how everything started, why the Empires hated so much.
They show some dark, dark themes and they weren't really
doing that stuff in the seventies, so I kind of
like give them a little leadway.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, it's it's interesting and or kind of changed, right
it was it felt like season one was one thing,
and then it became much more interesting, much more thematically
about the Resistance than anything else, and uh, less action,
you know, especially for a Star anything Star Wars. And
(20:18):
I like it a great deal. By the way, I'm
struggling with season two only that I've been throwing it
in to fall asleep too and then just falling asleep
and like where am I what do I start with?
So I'm not yet through season two, although it's been
weeks of trying. I bring up the biggest waste of
money because Joe Burrow was going to buy the original
(20:42):
bat the real Batmobile from I think the Bain Right
Bain Batman, and I think there's only a handful. A
was like three of them. He was gonna buy it
for three million dollars. Now here's Burrow's reasoning behind it.
I didn't end up getting the bat meal because I
just had other things I wanted to deal with at
that point. I get uncomfortable when my life is very public.
(21:04):
And you know that comes with the job, but there's
a certain part of your life that are yours. Your
house is one of those when that gets violated, people
find out where you live and all these different things.
Not everybody's failures, not everybody's failures at their job are
in front of the whole world. It's a very vulnerable
position to be in. I put myself in that position
because I love it. I don't like the other part
(21:27):
of it. Okay, So his house was broken into, and
the way that everybody found out he was buying the
batmobile was because of the key the QB Show, which
he's miked up for, and he was like, yeah, I
bought the batmobile for three million dollars. I also think
that part of it is he realized it's a terrible purchase,
(21:50):
not because it's not cool, like it's cool to go
like I own the Batmobile. You know, it's one of
three and you could probably flip a profit on it,
but it it feels a little dB ish a little bit,
and like how many other things would you rather have
(22:10):
for three million dollars than just about one car? Right?
One car? Or I mean, look, Joe Burrow comes out
to La every summer. I'm sure he's thinking, like, well,
three million dollars for a car, or yeah, I get
something on the water for like five or six and
that's only going to increase and I can stay in
it every day when I come throw in southern California.
(22:33):
I kind of think you saved himself from a really
bad purchase. Plus, if you buy the three million dollar Batmobile,
like can you drive that out in public? And if
you do, God, it's got to be hard to find
a parking spot. You know, you gotta valet it everywhere
you go. But if you valet it, I'm sure it
doesn't have valet mode. So you gotta trust that the
valet he's not gonna take it and drive around like
anything that gets like a scratch on a three million
(22:53):
dollar car. Can you imagine, like we've all had brand
new cars before, how long is that window where you
park around nobody? What do you guys think a couple
of weeks. Some people take a couple of days, like ah,
some people will go like the first year, two years
not parked by anybody. Imagine if you have a three
million dollar car and then you pull in, you know,
(23:15):
there's always one guy. You could park all the way
at the end, nobody buy you, and they're just gonna
come park next to you.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
I think there's an index depending on the value of
the car. Like I was just throwing my two thousand
Toyota Corolla around anywhere it didn't matter. But I think
as the value of your car goes up, the amount
of care you put into parking it goes way up.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, I mean that thing also looks really wide. You
can't do the monthly car wash thing, you know, where
it's like forty bucks and you vacuument out yourself. Honestly,
it just feels like a pain, Like yeah, I really
like it, but it's kind of a pain in the ars.
Pay in the ars. And I also think there's a
threshold that which you should never buy a car worth
(23:56):
more than whatever, same thing with a house, like I
would rather have multiple houses than like one. Did you
see Have you guys seen the pictures or the drone
of Will Smith's house? Oh?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I know all about it.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Oh it's amazing, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, he's got tennis court, basketball court, golf everything, which
is awesome when you go like, well, I never have
to leave. But then and you get to pick the
people you interact with. But you know, is that what
you want? I don't know. It would feel both isolating
and then it would feel like there's people in your space.
(24:35):
Like one of the great things about you go to
a golf course, you bring into a country club, right,
you go and around people, But when you want to
be away from those people, you go home and now
they're not there. If you have a little golf course
at your house and you know you invite people over,
well they're never leaving until you tell them like, okay,
you gotta go. I know these are not problems that
(24:56):
any of us have, but I'm sure there's a threshold
that you don't want to spend the much money on.
I think the I think all that stuff aside, Like
he doesn't like that it became public. He knows everywhere
he would go in public people would see the batmobile.
Combine that with the fact that they didn't win a ton,
Combine that with the fact that he got his house
broken into, and he just feels like, you know, whatever
(25:16):
kind of a mental and emotional target he has on
his back anyway would be magnified if he's driving around
in a three million dollar batmobile that you can't hide it.
It's not like there's like, oh well, because like I
have a nice car, but I have the same car
that Matt Lafleur drives. So when I drive around, people
think it's Matt Lafleur. It's great I have out. They're
totally disappointed. It's beauty to it.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
What happens when Matt Lafleur is driving around if people
mistake him for you as well, No, he's.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Matt Lafleur, better hair, better record, probably a better coach.
For forty years, Tyrek has been helping customers find the
right tires for how what where they drive. Ship Fast
and free back by free Road has protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire Slation, tyre dot Com. The
way I are buying should be the worst is when
(26:04):
you like, you buy something, you get really excited about it,
and you're literally walking out of the door, like what
did I just do? I can't imagine buying a three
million dollar car. I just got up charged that at Costco.
Like I walk into I roll in the Costco. I
got this big thing and think They're like, you know,
if you pay forty eight dollars a year, you can
get two percent cash back. It calculates out too if
(26:25):
you spend two hundred and seventy five dollars. And I'm like,
will you leave me alone if I get this? They're like, yes, okay, fine,
I got like six hundred dollars worth of stuff from Costco.
But I know I'm never gonna go to Costco again
this year, totally up charge. So I'm walking out the door.
I'm like, should I have done that? I'm like, credit
card thing went through. I'm a dope, But at least
(26:50):
I didn't buy a three million dollar batmobile that actually
should be on the back of every cheesy, ugly shirt
we buy as men. Right, what's the genes that I've
still seen them in some Midwest cities. They have like
studs on the on the on the butt pockets. Jay Stu,
(27:13):
Oh man, they were, I don't know, eight ten years ago,
really popular.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
I'm glad you asked Ja Stu for advice on that
one first instead of the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Do you know it?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Does it look like I know it?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Okay, That's why I asked Jase too. Jase Dou is
all things pop culture right, like, he's.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Are you guys, are you talking about the rock revival?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Jeans uh No, but that's that's part of it.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Rosewood Rock Revival.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Sound like Affliction, but they still sell Affliction stuff. It's
not like Affliction stuff, but that stuff still exists. I
just can't imagine buying one and going like, man, I
wish i'd have my money back there Affliction. Jase Dou
Did you have an Affliction shirt back in the day.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
No, that's not my vibe. Don't you have Don't you
have to punch people in the face if you were those?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I feel like, yeah, they'll be. I feel like if
UFC really has a fight at the White House, there
will be at least fifteen people wearing something Affliction. Fifteen

you get there? Isaac A Longe.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Crime, Well, Doug, we got another season of the UH
Netflix series The Quarterback, That documentary coming out and UH.
As part of a recently released snippet, Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Kirk Cousins weighed in on his departure from Minnesota, his
(29:51):
journey to Atlanta, and then the Falcons drafting Michael Pennox junior.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Wasn't expecting us to take a quarterback so high at
the time, it felt like I had been a little
bit misled or certainly if I had the information around freegency,
it certainly would have affected my decision. I had no
reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it
there if both teams are going to be drafting a
quarterback high. But I've also learned in twelve years in
(30:19):
this league that you're not entitled anything.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It's all about.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Being able to earn your spot and prove yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, I mean, I think that's one of those quotes
that read's worse than it actually was. But I do
think that if he was honest and what didn't give
the Kirk Cousins politically correct answer, he would go like, yeah,
what are we doing? But we also honest. Kirk Cousins
was playing great, and then all of a sudden, he
sucked and then he tears his Achilles tenant and he's
(30:50):
out of the league. You know, now he's collecting checks
for not playing, So I don't know. Obviously Minnesota told
him they were going to draft a quarterback and Atlanta
did not, but it doesn't matter. He was still Atlanta's
starting quarterback even when he was playing terrible. So now
(31:15):
Pennix is the guy and he's gonna get paid to
not play.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
I've got another NFL related clip for you. This is
kind of a different type of clip. Are you familiar
with this new movie that's coming out. They're redoing The
Naked Gun with Liam Neeson now reprising the role of
the late Leslie Nielsen. Okay, so this clip was just
(31:41):
released today. So Liam Neeson is in the movie along
with Pamela Anderson. And the scene that you're about to
hear this this clip that got released today. It depicts
Neisen and Anderson discussing Neison's character's recently deceased wife and
suddenly takes a surprise using NFL related a turn with
(32:03):
one NFL team taking a stray at the very end,
listen closely.
Speaker 9 (32:08):
Excuse the mess. I haven't had the heart to clean
since she.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Mikendolo says, pass.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Great fifty rs, easy arm like a camera, and then
she died. She was the sweetest woman I've ever known.
She sounds like a scene or maybe a Bronco or
a forty nine er. We would have been happy with
any team, really, anyone put the Browns.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
So the Cleveland Browns even taking strays in the new
Naked Gun film with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
You're gonna see it, yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
All right, So I'm answe can we back up just
a second. Yes, I just put a couple of things together.
So the last actor that played Nick a Gun is
what's his name? You mean?
Speaker 6 (33:02):
The first guy Leslie Nielsen, right, and the new one
is Liam Liam Oh, same initials. Very good point. Yeah,
that's right of all to play the same character. You
have two guys with like mirror names, the same initials.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
I'll bet the producers didn't even know that until you
just said that. To be honest, that's very impressive that
you would.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Make that connection. That's just crazy to me. All Right, So.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Somewhere there's a kid who wants to be an actor
someday whose initials are l N and they'll be right
in line thirty five to forty years from now. I've
never heard of this ever before, ever before in sports
that I can think of, Doug, are you aware of
this major international soccer event that's going on right now
in the United States, the Club World Cup? No, exactly, Well,
(33:53):
that's kind of the problem. So anyway, I'm sure you're
familiar with the team Chelsea FC, one of the most
famous pro soccer teams in England. Absolutely well literally as
we're speaking right now, CHELSEAFC is playing the semi finals
of the Club World Cup at MetLife Stadium, the home
of the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
They're leading to nothing in the eighty seventh minute against
(34:16):
a team from Brazil. But the demand for tickets, and
this has been an issue throughout the Club World Cup,
as well as the fact that they're playing on a
Tuesday afternoon. The ticket prices dropped from four hundred and
seventy five dollars to thirteen dollars, and that led to today
multiple CHELSEAFC players, at least five of them, including the
(34:39):
team captain posting on their personal Instagram accounts links to
purchase tickets. So you have literal players from one of
the most powerful sports teams in the world posting tickets,
advertising their own matches on their own personal social media pages.
I honestly have not ever heard of anything like that,
(35:02):
but that happened today.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
So odd and said, but hey, for my entire life
to soccer has been and will continue to be the
support of the future.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Well that's that's been the discussion. I mean, I mean, look,
when we had the World Cup World Cup here in
ninety four, it was an absolute grand slam. It was
a phenomenon, it was awesome. But the Club World Cup
clearly has not moved the needle. All right, in other news,
it's being commemorated a lot on social media today. Would
(35:36):
you believe that today happens to be the fifteen year
anniversary of the decision Lebron James made for TV event
in which he announced that he would be taking his
talents to South Beach. So, Doug take it in any
direction you wanted. I mean, how is the decision aged?
(35:56):
How is it we've remembered and what do you remember
about it?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Fifteen years ago. Where were you working?
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Uh, Jim Rome show?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
But not at all? Was Jim working that day?
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Good question? He may have not been working. I mean
this this time of year. Jim took an like weeks
off July and August. Probably not, probably not.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
He was not working. Do you know how? I know?
Speaker 6 (36:23):
Oh, you were filling in.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I filled in on Jim Rome is burning and we
I the You know, Jim has writers and they wrote
they used his the half filled. It was something about
having a half filled sports bar celebration, celebrated as only
Miamians can, right, And sure enough we cut two shots
(36:45):
of half field sports bars, barely noticing the fact that
Lebron was coming to Miami. Uh, yeah, it was. It
was a weird. That was a weird one. I continue
to give it up to Chris Carter, the Hall of
Fame wide receiver. Three days before leaving for Southern California
to do that week of shows, I was walking across
(37:06):
ESPN's campus with Scott Van Pelt and we were talking
about I think Lebron and Chris Carter's walking the other
way and he's like, he's going to Miami. Yeah, he said,
he's going to Miami. I'm like who like Lebron, Like
Miami hadn't even been brought up. He's like, I talked
to world Wide West. Done deal, He's going to Miami.
Chris Carter had the news for everybody else, true story.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
May get out there and pressed that was the press.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
You do have to have a fall guy in the crew,
all right. We got fans of and Or on the show.
Who knew right? Three of us. Ilo doesn't get streaming,
although he'll gladly he'll gradly lift your your Disney log
on ID so then he could watch it as well.
And we got Dodgers Brewers again tonight, Kershaw versus MSS
(37:55):
What could be? Versus What has been in Baseball? Back tomorrow.
