No way. Just some of us is just a builder, different,
(01:58):

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Like everybody else. Man that's cool, okay, you and your physician.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I'd like to be alive.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
God bless you man. I've been doing that for like
five six years seven. I would love to witness this.
Speaker 8 (02:29):
I would love to sit there with a timer and
actually see if you sit in there for forty minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, anytime, anytime, anytime.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
How hot does it get? I did it this morning.
When I go that long, I stay at one ten.
When I do twenty twenty to thirty, thirty, twenty to thirty,
I do like one twenty. I do one twenty with
a sweatsuit on and socks on my hands and my feet.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I feeling that.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
That's important because you don't want to burn your toes
or anything like that, you know, just telling you when
you feel really good, man, like you feel like clear, clean, rejuvenated,
like you feel good. I mean, my eyes be fire
fire red. But other than that, you know, you're you're good,
nice and relaxed. Yeah, it's good. But anyways, that's just
(03:18):
for you know, people like me. You know, that's all
you know. I'll take that. I want you to be
alive too, you know what I mean. I'm not trying
to kill you off. This is not an assassinator. This
is not a self inflicted assassination attempt on you, I promise.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
It's all good man. It's not a coup na, not
at all. What are we cooing? I'm not taking over
anything anyways. This is the Colin cow Herds show.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Is the herd would be. It would be sweet if
we did find out this was all an attempt so
that his big dune kickoff spot this.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I certainly would not get his bigness about leap. Yeah,
I don't get the criteria Brady in seed just say.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Just saying why not. I certainly would not clear it
up for LeVar Arrington just so work so that that's
easily not what it would be for what seems to
be missing.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Well you tell them Johnson, all right, so it is
Black History month, so if there were time to do it,
it'd be now you know what I mean, try to
leverage it, that's right. Yeah, and you got thirty one No,
it's only twenty eight days in the Yeah, it's not many.
I don't give you a long month.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah, say, why didn't they give you long They.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Don't give you a long month. They give you the
shortest month. You know what I mean, let's get it in,
get it out, get it done. I can agree to here, guys.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Okay, let's not let's not get carried away, you know,
settled down, all right?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
All right?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
So alrighty, then, speaking of the NFL, not that we
talked about the NFL there, but the NFL there wasn't
an announcement that was made. So remember that game in
Brazil last year and open up the season on a
Friday night, you had the Packers and the Eagles. It
was the night after the opener between the Ravens and
the Chiefs, and that game was presented in Brazil. Apparently
(05:06):
we're going to be going back there, and we already
know who the team designated as the home team is
going to be. That team to open up the first
Friday of the season this year is none other than
the Los Angeles Chargers. They will be in Brazil. So
the Bolts are going to bring be in Brazil, which
begs the question, well, a couple of questions. First, I
(05:29):
guess last year went okay, I guess last year went
well enough that they're returning. Second, who are they going
to be playing? And we do have some options and
some teams that are out there that would be potential
options for the Chargers when they're opening up the season
as the home team. You got your divisional games and
then you've got your Texans, Colts, Commanders, Steelers, Vikings, and Eagles.
(05:52):
I'm assuming they're not going to send Philly back there,
obviously they just won the Super Bowl. Well when we're
just in Brazil, but that would make sense because they
open up the year Thursday. Tradition, the Super Bowl champ
always opens up the season the next year, like the Chiefs.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
You're clearly establishing the Chargers as the home team. So
is that a market? Are you trying to position them
just like maybe the Jaguars are being positioned for for Wimberley?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Can I ask this question? And excuse me if I
miss this amongst and discussing who's playing?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Who's it a home game for Chargers?
Speaker 8 (06:28):
Okay, so technically be a CBS game, right because they
have the rights to that, unless I'm wrong in assuming
how these games get swapped. But usually NFC is CBS,
AFC is no excuse you other the way around, So
it's AFC, so it would be a CBS game, but
NFC is Fox.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It was Peacock last year, the opener was, Okay, there
you go.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
So maybe and the reason why this matters, you know,
it just so happens that, you know, if you're a prominent,
you know, figure, like the number one guy at a network,
maybe you would or wouldn't want to go back down
to Brazil to call a game.
Speaker 9 (07:08):
I want to go.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I one would go to Saio. I don't doubt that
you would want to go.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
I'm just saying for something touch a subject there.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Yeah, I get it. Like, you know, jiu jitsu and
all that stuff, that's where's that's where it comes from.
That's where it originates from. And when you know that
jiu jitsu, you know, you know how to manipulate your
body and put people in choke holds and locks and
leg locks and submissions. Submission is a big one. Q.
That is a big one. And that might be why
(07:40):
that person doesn't want to go call the game? Good call?
You know why submit? You're a champion, you know, ultimate champion. Yeah,
there you go many times over. But I would say this,
I would venture to say, there are plenty more models
out there that would probably we're Victoria's secrets or or
do a you know a sports illustrated shoot for the cover,
(08:02):
and I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I would do it. At what point are we at
getting to the I guess the eventual spot of now
we're kind of going overseas a little bit too much.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Like they're trying to expand the borders. That's why I'm
leading off with with my thought is what is the
ultimate goal for the Bolts? You have two teams in
a market where it's a super large media market. But
let's be clear here, it's it's not the greatest for
the NFL. It's not the best medium of the market
(08:38):
for football team.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
You think the Bolts are going to Brazil? I mean
the South Paulo Bolts.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I mean, is it the possibility that you could expand
your borders to a very large market and extend your
your growth of your fan base into South America?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Lee, Can you look up or is that South America?
Central America? Is that South America? South America? Can you
look up Chargers in Portuguese? Like, what's the like? How
do we say that? And I mean, by the way,
since they're going to Brazil, they're real lucky that security
guard is not working for the team anymore, because that
that would have been Dicey a whole lot of hand
in his pocket. Yeah, that would have been real, real
(09:17):
dice You soon with their soccer? Uh kind of gott oas?
Speaker 10 (09:20):
What what kinda godas kinda godas gotta goododas the Los
Angeles kinda gododas get my pocket?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yeah? Oh no, I don't know. I don't know what's
throw with you? Guys, man? Could you just be professional
for once, just once in your bleeping career. Be professional.
We're trying to talk about the NFL going to Brazil
and you guys are trying to steer us into the ditch, and.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
You clearly hit a saturation point in fan base and
fan growth in America. You maxed out when you went
to Taylor Swift and started leaning on her to be
more appealing to the female audience. Like you've met, You're
they are maxing out in the United States?
Speaker 9 (10:07):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
There's still there's a lot of people didn't watch the
Super Bowl, and those people probably get those people.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Those people probably aren't going to watch it. They're probably
not going to watch it, and probably a lot of
them are in California that aren't going to watch it.
I just think that expanding the borders. That's always been
something that that has been a major point of emphasis,
especially since Goodell has been the commissioner of the league.
(10:34):
And you're talking about how they've they've you know, had
the combat the concussions, you know, the concussions deal. They've
they've leaned very very deep into flag football, turning it
into a more global sport, you know, globally, you know, embraced,
globally consumed. It's going to be a part of the
(10:56):
Olympics that comes to to the United States. I mean,
there's just if you look at how the position of it,
the positioning of it is, you know, they're expanding their borders.
The NFL Euro didn't work. I don't know why it
didn't work, but it didn't work. But nonetheless, there is
still an audience that is abroad that the NFL is targeting,
(11:20):
and it must be based upon the information that they're
collecting and the data that they're collecting and seeing who
is participating. And I guess, I guess this part of Brazil,
this part of South America checks off the box to
continue to try to develop there. I mean, to me,
that's how I make sense of it. I could be
all the way wrong. But that's how I make sense
(11:41):
of it.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
I think you're always going to have a hard time
in breaking into like what is the world sport?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Which is soccer? I mean or football?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
They would say ever sives, But you know, the NFL
can trial once to have games there. Maybe they create
fans out of people of the game, but soccer is
always going to be near and dear to their heart.
So that's just the truth. And so these games to
me signify if you normalize more regular season games in
other cities and destinations across the world, I think it
(12:11):
creates more of an openness to I don't know if
it's going to be a team in one of those
cities in the future, or even just a super Bowl
in a place other than you know, one of the
venues that we've got in the US. Like that's what
I feel like sometimes it opens up to is the
opportunity to play a Super Bowl in a foreign country,
like we kind of all have tabbed if there's gonna
be that country, it's probably gonna be London. Like England's
(12:35):
probably gonna host that first one because they've been there
so much for the Jags and for the international games.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
In general. But I feel like the more you normalize.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
You know, this this ability to go play regular season
games in foreign countries and figure out a way of
doing that, the more you try to kind of bring
more excitement to the sport.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And this is.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Actually like this this thought dawned on me and it
happened back in New Orleans, and I don't know how
you guys felt, but it just didn't feel like there
was much of a buzz.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
And granted we're there early, but we also were there.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
To a point too where you could see a little
bit of the crowds, people who would kind of come
through a radio row. But it just it feels like
there's something off. And I'm not gonna say who said this,
but the comment was made that, yeah, it's another Super Bowl,
same you know, guys who've been done playing for ten,
twenty plus years now just walking through selling something like
(13:29):
that was basically like the comment that was made, And
that's true, but it's true, and it is kind of tiring.
It's like, yeah, we've seen it again, all right, what
are you pitching this year?
Speaker 9 (13:38):
You know?
Speaker 8 (13:38):
And and there's nothing wrong with that, Like those companies
think it's it's successful for them to make money, and
obviously the player wants to get paid money or the
past player. I get all that, but there is something too.
If you put one of these major games, like a
super Bowl, in a different venue, different city, there would
be more excitement around it. There'd be a new buzz
(14:00):
around it. I can only share that a little bit
just from going to an international game for the football
game and we went over for Notre Dame Navy. That
was one of the coolest experiences ever. And it was
cool because you got to share that with a bunch
of people who are curious about football.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
You know, maybe they know about Notre Dame, maybe they don't,
but regardless.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
I mean, one of the funniest things that still struck
me from that experience was the cab driver was excited
about the flyover because they never get flyovers for soccer
matches or rugby matches, so that was.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
His whole thing, was like he's, oh, I can't wait
for the flyover.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
And it did feel like maybe they don't do that
very often over there because those things could have potentially
landed in the stadium they're so low. But the general
point is I just I feel like it would bring
a new sense of excitement outside of hosting a super
Bowl in one of these newly constructed stadiums.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
But how in the United States market? What do you
mean like here it will bring excitement here? Where is
it bringing the excitement too? It's pretting excitement one to
go to a destination. I mean you're traveling to go
see a game over there. I mean again going to
a London game, being a part of one of those
for the international Games. And this is you know, dating
back to what two thousand and uh in twenty ten
(15:14):
when we went over with the Broncos played the forty
nine ers, it was just cool to see the response
to football and how people showed.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Up in the stadiums with like all these different jerseys on.
It wasn't like it was just like Broncos fans of
forty nine Ers fans. It was like a slew of people.
We were just fans of football. And so, you know,
I think that experience to share it with other places great,
But I mean think about this, These games have become
so so expensive to get into.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
It's not like your average Joe Schmoe's going to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Anyway, correct, So it's more of an experience corporately speaking,
or or an experience in.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
General, you know what I'm saying, Like it's kind of
like it's an experience in general. So like if you're
planning going to the Super Bowl, you're planning ongoing, but
you know you're gonna shll out a lot of money
for It's like, what does it? Does it make that
big of a different to you if it's in Brazil
or London or somewhere else versus if it's in or
is it San Francisco next year, Santa Clara?
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I think it makes a difference only in the sense
that there's a familiar.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Or exciting to go somewhere else to it.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
I mean, I no disrespect to going to Santa Clara.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I much rather go I much rather go to South
Paulo to go see a Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Any day period, Super bowlaring really or not. I love
the Bay Area. I mean the Bay Area is cool,
it's technology. There's a lot a lot of things going
incubating going on there. But I'd like to incubate in
And you know, since so Polo, I guess I guess
that do they eat cornbread something?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
They eat something there because it's it's very good whatever
it is. But I just say this, I just again,
I think the further you get away from it being
an American sport, the you nine at state sport, which
that's what football is, That's what American football is. I
think you run the risk of going away from the
(17:09):
culture and the pillars and foundational components that made the
game what it is today.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
But how do you expand the sport?
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Then it's a it's a it's a it is a dilemma,
and it is a challenge to try to figure out
how do you grow and expand the sport.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
But yeah, I see it more as an opportunity, you know,
like that that's and that's why I feel like the
NFL seas is when they did this in NFL Europe,
which I mean I'm sure you played with guys who
played over in NFL Europe, right mm hm, because that
was just what winding down when when you were kind
of think.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
It was yeah, yeah, yeah, winding down correct.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Which I mean, look, I would all go back to this,
like I think that set the foundation be done, right,
But I think that's that's that's set the foundation for
a lot of the fandom that's there now for the
game of football because they introduced to it at a
young age, and then as it's grown, they've probably kept
tabs and as it's you know, continued to expand where
they want to play more games, like actual regular season games.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
There there's more excitement around it.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
So again, you know, who knows if it'll ever happen,
But if it did happen, I could I could see.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
A Super Bowl being played in London.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
And I know it may upset some purists and some fans,
but it's the same fans who want to complain about
officiating rule changes. It's the same fans who want to
complain about something else that they're frustrated by or upset by.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
You're still going to watch.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
If we learned anything from this past Super Bowl, one
in which you saw two teams that it played a
couple of years back, one that's played three years in
a row now a blowout, yet it still was the
all time highest rated game.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, there's also something too like out here in southern California.
I would be willing to bet that there are more
Cowboys fans than Chargers or Rams fans. Smart of the
Cowboys to come out here every year, and that's that's
part of it because they've made this destination and they
go to Oxnard, or as Brady calls it, n Oxnard.
(19:08):
They go there and they put on their training camp
and the Cowboys because of that, have a huge fan
base out here.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Same with the Raiders, so for the Chargers. But they
did say that it fell off a little bit this
past year. They did say there wasn't very many people,
not as many people coming and droves like they had
in years past.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
But they were all in. It doesn't make any sense
they were all in this past year. That's why, you know,
I find that hard to believe. But you know, just
just throwing it out there again, like we did last year.
If they need us to go cover.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
This thing, we should go. We talked about it last year.
I make sure I had my passport. Man, I still
haven't went and got it. Really yeah, I was like,
we didn't go, and I'm not in the rust.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Wait, you never got your pass I never wanted to.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Get Yeah, I never went to get it.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Like the rush period, I paid for the rush period
and I had to drive all the way back over
to where that court building was and I once I
missed the flight. I just wasn't motivated to go take
that drive again within like the next week or so.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So any advice for LeVar on how to get this handled, Well, I.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Just got to go to like a drug store right
to take the picture and send it in and then
like CVS or something.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
I tried doing that, and then they just they want
the money, so they just make you pay for the
taking a picture in the office anyway, They're like, yeah,
that picture doesn't work.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
So I'm not driving all the way back over which
I don't know how far away that is from where
I currently live now though the LA you know where
the LA Courthouse is or whatever that is, I don't know.
I just didn't want to go back and do it.
Like there was a line. There were like three lines,
and they were literally you have to schedule your time,
your appointment, which is dumb because then you go stand
(20:49):
in the line full of like sixty seventy eighty ninety
one hundred people and there's like three lines of them.
It's not it's crazy. Yeah, definitely make an appointment, but
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I'll show you. I'll show you some images on Instagram
from places to go to in Brazil and you'll probably
get motivated real quick. Would Bobby Orchids go? I mean,
he would never come back. I'll tell you that. What
about the song? You better keep keep all of the
massage and justin Tucker out of there? That would How
(21:22):

will keep you posted here, you know, not imagining we're
(23:21):
going to have any p prisco issues from yesterday. But
it does look like, uh confused looks there behind the scenes.
Your thoughts on the confusion behind the scenes, Brady, what
would you uh, what would you say about that?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
A lot of beers, It does seem like whenever Lee's involved.
Not to throw Lee under the bus, but for those
of you that have listened to our show early in
the morning, there tends to be a lot of fuzzy
things that are going on, and stuff just doesn't work.
And Lee maybe forgot to call one of the guests
(23:59):
to say, hey, we changed our hours. We're actually gonna
be calling you a little later in the day. Is
that okay? Sometimes those uh, those little details fall through
the through the.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Cracks running for Kurrs. Here he comes here, come, yep,
there he is running from Captain two days in a row.
It's it's very, very, very troubling, all right. So without
further Ado, let's turn it over to the man himself,
Petros Papade, because he is the co host of the
Petros and Money Show, which you can hear on the
(24:30):
Blowtorch AM five seventy l a sports a Fox college
football analyst and get him on ex at the old
p P. Good morning slash afternoon, depending on where you're
listening in the country. But we appreciate you coming on
with us here.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
No problem, Hello, Hello, This is not my first time
on this show. Nice, but usually it's the filings that
asked me to come on.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Okay, so I see shooting what shouts? Huh I've been blazing.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Huh.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
I've been on there with uh count four oh five,
but not not in a while.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Okay, cat.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Bang bang?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Is that a shot at you Jonas?
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yeah, of course it is.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
No, No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I'm count one on one.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
He's off the one on one.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Petros.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
When is the last time you saw Jonas in person?
Speaker 10 (25:23):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Not long? A couple of months ago. Yeah. He has
an interesting look.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Was it was? He also looks pale as hell like
he never goes out in the sun.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Well, I mean the guy does the radio show at
two in the morning in in the West Coast, and
and then he sometimes you know, does one in the afternoon.
What I'm saying is he's indoors a lot.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Yeah, I don't think is gonna help at night.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
It's an editor guy probably go outside, a guy that
sits in an edit Bay all day, it just grows old.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Night.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
It is true, he does the sun.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
All right, I'm here for you guys.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
I know we've caught up since the super Bowl, but
I wanted to make sure you understood. There's many a
morning's where I looked out in that crowd and I thought,
that's Kansas City's version of Petros. Hey, Yeah, here's Philadelphia's
version of Petros.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Yeah it's tough.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Hey, that's Saint Louis's version of Petros. I mean you
kind of kept going down the line. I completely understood
your stance on that. Where is the next super Bowl,
Santa Clara? Yeah, I mean that is an amazing drop off, right.
I mean I'm not for parties or people or really
a good time at all. I'm very hateful, which is
(26:39):
why probably haven't been on in a while. But that
being said, uh, New Orleans is a great town, and
New Orleans is a fun resort, kind of not resort,
but convention. It kind of absorbs that kind of stuff
very well. And the super Bowl's great there because you're
having a good time, but at the same time, you
don't feel like the cheeseball idiot that you really are.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Because you're partying at the super Bowl that does not
exist in Santa Clara. In fact, almost nothing exists in
Santa Clara, and you're nowhere close to anywhere you want
to be. San Jose has nothing to offer you. San
Francisco used to be the Bagdad by the Bay. Now
it's a big pile of poop and needles. But that
being said, I mean it's still a kind of a
(27:22):
fun city to kick around in. But you're you know,
you're at least forty five minutes from there in Santa
Clara in a badly built stadium. I mean, that is
kind of an amazing thing in today's day and age
that we have all this technology, all these architects, all
these people in the twenty first century, and you can
still just totally drop the ball building an NFL football stadium,
(27:47):
even though you have billions of dollars and all that,
you just build it the wrong way. But the sun
is like, well, the sun is blaring down on you
at one o'clock on the home team side, which was
a big probably have you been in there, yeah, Brady,
we did a game in there once. Remember we did
the Packed twelve Championship.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Yeah, which can I make a case for you. I
feel like like you're an unbelievable host. And I'm not
just saying this because you're on with us, Like I've
worked with you, I've witnessed it. You did do such
a good job in the snares. You did the Big
twelve one the one year we were together, and then
you did the Pac twelve one, and both of them.
I was like, I wanted to watch those, Like usually
(28:28):
that's like, okay, like let's pack up and go. I
literally stayed just to watch, just to watch you on those,
Like that's how entertaining it was.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Yeah, they don't ask me to do him much anymore.
They used to like me to do the old Doctor
Pepper halftime thing because they couldn't trust Bruce Feldman with it.
I guess no. I mean, I love Bruce, but could
you imagine him do it?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
That's not a big deal.
Speaker 9 (28:48):
Yeah. Could you imagine he'd sit there and like take
a text from Chip Kelly halfway through and no one
would know who won. Uh. So that's why they would
have me do it, I guess, is just to do
the Doctor Pepper. But you're right, I enjoyed the I
remember doing one of those the one I did at
the PAC twelve when Washington, our friend Chris Peterson beat
a pretty beat up Utah team, very boring game. It
(29:10):
was like nine to six, And I remember doing that
half doing that postgame with Larry Scott, who was at
that point already universally despised and anybody with half a
brain saw he was taken down the conference.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
But besides the nice gift you used to get at
the Patch twelve dinners, remember days.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Oh come on, I still use my earbuds right now.
But but Larry Scott was like, okay, I'll take the
microphone now. I said, no, you won't. You will not.
And I almost had like to battle him with my
fist and the mic where he tried to like kind
of pride out of my hand like Pat Hayden and
Steve Sarkisian behind stage that one night, and and it
(29:51):
got a little ugly for a second. But the one
thing you have to know is if you ever give
your mic to anybody, I don't care if it's Rob
Gronkowski who just won the Super Bowl or what. You
can't give your mic to Larry Scott or the young
man you're interviewing or or the head coach, be it
Chris Peterson or anybody. You've got to keep that mic.
If they want to hold the mic, they've got to
(30:12):
hold the mic outside of your hand. Your hand has
to be the prophylactic because if you give up that mic,
you're never getting hired again. Now, of course I never
gave up the mic, and I'm still not getting hired again.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
So speaking of getting hired or getting fired or moving on.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
I want to get higher.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, good, good again, good again. I know that song too.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
I know That's why I did it. Go ahead, your.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Guy, Matthew Stafford? Is he to go or not to go?
That is the question.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
And do you like the I guess we're hearing Garoppolo
possibly or maybe you know, I don't. What are you
thinking in terms of quarterback?
Speaker 9 (30:58):
For well, what is that that old schefter said? You know,
not that I'd pay much attention to anything. But schefter
said maybe Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah, if Stafford goes away, well you think about that.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
Well, don't they have a bit of a connection through
Lafleur and all those guys from the commanders. From what
I understand, McVeigh and all those people, they were all
on that Shanahan staff Ye, through your old team LeVar
and then and then they've kind of scattered around the NFL.
But most of those guys I imagine kind of like
Andy Reid and Brett Farv and that old that old
(31:31):
contingent of coaches Steve Mary Yucci that we used to
hear about. Those guys all seem to really like Aaron Rodgers,
you know, the same way all those guys that scattered
around from the Green Bay staff under Mike Holmgren really
like Brett Farve. So maybe that works in la Aaron
can be in a major media market, and it gives
the the the Rams a chance to stick it to
(31:54):
Kelly Stafford because they're tired of listening to her and
her podcast. My radio partner brought that up up yesterday
on our show that maybe they say, oh, Kelly, you
like that, You want to go on there and say this,
say that, Well, here you go. You get to go
to New York City where they suck, and here comes
Aaron Rodgers to take your place.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Woo dang.
Speaker 2 (32:14):

behind the stories in the world of sports and pop culture,
stories that well other shows don't seem to have the
time to discuss.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
And the fact that we've been friends for the last
twenty years and still work together. I mean that says something, right,
So check us out.
Speaker 11 (32:51):

social media that's Covino and Rich.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah, we don't need your podcast together Rogers.
Speaker 9 (33:18):
She's that redemption, right, I mean because Farv did the
same thing. He left Green Bay. They went, he went
to the jets. He took a picture of his gray
pube pets.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
WHOA, Well he didn't he did.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
What are you talking about? That wasn't him. I mean
it was always like his crocs, but that was definitely
not him.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
All right, you're right, I'm sorry that's alleged.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
That was definitely brear.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
Well, you could just say it didn't end well, it
ended in controversy and because of that, you know, he
needed a redemption story, which he really did get in Minnesota.
I mean he was bawling his old asshof.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
He did have a nice watch in Minnesota.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
I'll show you a watch, tang. So anyway, maybe Aaron
Rodgers gets that at SOFI. You know, that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Patro's just curious your thoughts. Obviously you mentioned your partner,
Matt money Smith, the voice of the Bolts. They're on
their way to Brazil.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Yeah, well it's a plan.
Speaker 9 (34:17):
As you guys know, I'm a bit of an agoraphobe
and really really don't like traveling, getting worse as I
get older. I have to go places, and I do.
But going to Brazil, where I've read a little bit about,
but I know it's pretty wild and chaotic, is not
on my list. Although I do enjoy the music the Tropicalia,
(34:40):
which is like what they listen to inside Brazil, and
the Bosa Nova which they set around the world with
the great writer and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis
Bonfa and many like that.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
So yeah, I do so well versed when you have these,
you know, like what when you have an agoraphobic moment,
I just get uncomfortable, you know, Okay, that's it, like you,
but you can handle it though, I guess.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
I mean, I haven't been in Brazil. No one's trying
to steal my kidney. You know that Ryan Lockney got
in a fight at a gas stage remember the Swimmer. Yeah, no,
it looks like a lot of fun. What we like
to do with Matt because he does travel, you know,
he works with the Chargers and and he travels other
than that too. He does college basketball and stuff. I
like to. There's a movie called The Five Obstructions, and
(35:32):
it's like a it's like a bet between two really
really famous international movie makers. Jurgen Left and Lars von
Trier and this guy like sets up these impossible movie
making obstructions for this other movie maker and then makes
a movie about him trying to to to clear the obstructions.
(35:53):
So we do that with Matt, Like when he went
to Baltimore, I made him find Edgar Allan Poe's grave.
I made him go and get a big cannon Natty Bow,
the national Bohemian beer that they made him eat a
crab cake. You know, it all has to be documented.
In Jacksonville, there's like some weird cartoon looking dinosaur. I
(36:14):
made him get on an uber and find that. And
you know his obstructions in Houston that the Chargers when
they had their playoff game. I only do it for
the playoffs didn't go so well, and maybe that's why
the Chargers lost some allege. So we'll see, Like I
could send him to Brazil and do obstructions, but he
might not live through.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Huh. I mean, what was the plan in Houston that
he didn't execute.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
I wanted him to go to this really old bar
in downtown and instead, like he was like, well we
was staying twenty minutes. I didn't make it. He kind
of blew it off in a way. And I'm not
saying that's why the Chargers collapsed at all.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah, they didn't play well.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
No, he did make it to one of the structures,
like a weird fountain or something.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Better situation. Is it a better situation to keep your guy?
I'm sorry you. Is it a better situation to keep
Stafford or is it a better situation with one of
the other options.
Speaker 9 (37:08):
Well, I don't think they're gonna get rid of him
because his wife is annoying. Okay, although it's pretty annoying.
I mean, just think about the timeline. Remember last year.
I mean, they have Pooka Nakua, who's fixing to be
the best rookie receiver we've seen in years. Yeah, and
he's on there, he's in there camp. And remember she
came out on her podcast was like, Matt doesn't even
relate with these young guys that I was on their
(37:30):
phone and he doesn't even remember that.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Yeah, I do, Yeah, like that, I do.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Yeah. I mean, let's sneed doesn't seem like he's not annoying,
but he's got to be annoyed by this, you know.
And uh, I mean you've seen his frames and the
glasses he wears and that stupid shirt on the I mean,
she's done a lot of things that are pretty questionable.
And then yeah, you know I dated the backup to
(37:57):
make him just you know, it was that And now
there's like, if I have to be the dog, I
will be. You know, we want to win a championship.
Matthia wants to win. It's like, okay, but I don't
think that's why they'd get rid of him. But if
they're gonna, if they're far apart on a deal, I
don't think that would help that she's got wind in
her jaws, and I think no, I think the pragmatic
(38:19):
thing to do is to bring in Matt Stafford again.
And he's still playing on a high level, and he's
got a great arm, and he's competitive and even though
it seems like his wife beats the crap out of him,
he's pretty tough.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
What is he? Cap Rooney?
Speaker 9 (38:35):
Yea yes, Lauren Hawley a forgotten nineties actress.
Speaker 8 (38:43):
Petros I want to go back and get your thoughts
on the NDA All Star Game as well as Lebron
deciding to opt out of the All Star Game.
Speaker 9 (38:52):
Well, I mean, do you can I go full conspiracy theory.
I mean, I know I already mentioned Brett Farr's nether regions,
but can I go full conspiracy theory? Sure? Sure? Ty right?
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Do you have any unsolved mysteries music we can play
for Petros? Will we?
Speaker 9 (39:05):
I mean, I'll take current Affair the old Tony Bruno
sw I think Adam Silver did this. I don't believe
that this idiot in Dallas and our guy with the
tight bomber jacket in La Polenka and Nico Harrison figured
this out themselves and it didn't leak for months.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
And I don't believe an ounce of that story.
Speaker 9 (39:31):
I don't. I believe that a call was made, probably
laid into the afternoon, that from Genie Buss or some
proxy could be Linda Ramdas to the vampire Adam Silver's
house and in his coffin six feet deep. He took
the red phone call and said blah hello, and because
(39:56):
he's like a vampire, and Genie Buss said, look, we
took Lebron. Now you've got to get us out of this.
His weird agency is up in our building. He's destroying everything.
And none of our fans like us anymore. Many of
our fans won't start watching the Lakers again until he's gone.
We need something, just like we needed something when Kareem came,
(40:19):
just like we needed something, When Paul Gasol came, just
like we needed something, and all these other times, and
Silver waved his vampiric fingers and made this happen.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
So he's my Jonas's people.
Speaker 9 (40:35):
That makes Lebron and his people, because they're not without power, upset.
How do they counter? Well, they act all cool. When
Lucas shows up and he plays the nice guy that
won't last to see where you're going, Lebron says, here's
what I'm gonna do. I'm not going to play. I'm
gonna wreck your All Star game. I'm gonna wait till
(40:57):
an hour before tip, and then I'm gonna squat down
and defecate on your entire weekend.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
It's a great theory, but that's a very very strong
all right, Can I post this Robert stack and smoke?
Speaker 8 (41:13):
Did anyone care that he wasn't a part of a
game that really wasn't entertaining? Well, no, but he made
it about himself again, which is well, that's.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Took a shot he could have. At least he could
have at least put on the All Star uniform, right.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
At least we had the deflection where oh he got
god good, nice deflection, Lebron, thanks for ruining your sport,
but just to deflect to a team in Minnesota, know Wisconsin? Alright?
Speaker 4 (41:40):
Coolang, But yeah, you're right here. He could have put
the uniform on. At least he didn't want he Bruh.
That that's Petros.
Speaker 7 (41:52):
That's the best I've heard because I have been made
aware of the fact that they truly did not know.
I thought they were in the note and there they
were not in the know about what took place with
this trade.
Speaker 9 (42:04):
Well, what bothers me is you look at all these guys,
the people that work for Lebron, the Lebron media contingency,
and we all know who they are. One of them
looks like a tortoise, and not with that, you know,
I look kind of like a walrus with anyway, who
would be the tortoise, the one, the one with the
horse wind. Now, these guys all came out and said right,
(42:29):
and I barely trying to pay attention to this stuff,
but the hypocrisy is so glaring. Uh, these guys for years,
you know, every move that's been made with the Lakers.
These guys for years been like, well, you know, Lebron's
got nothing to do with it. A lot of people
want to say he knows, but he's got nothing to
do with it. And then this trade happens and Lebron
actually has nothing to do with it, and they all
(42:49):
come out and say, well, this is the first time Lebron'
said nothing to do it. It's like, well, what about
the last seven years of your lies? You freaking shit.
I don't know how any of the I mean, look,
I am not without problems, and I am not without flaws,
but the lack of integrity and honor not that the
(43:10):
sports media. I mean, we're already the toy department. How
do you mess up the toy department? And how do
you mess up a rock fight? I mean, we have
really destroyed, uh, how to cover these people. And it's
because they have proxies within the media that are planted.
I mean, when Lebron came to LA they brought a
studio host and a and a beat writer with him
(43:32):
and said, hey, hire this studio host and here hire
this beat writer. Do you think they ever write anything
bad about Lebron? Not thank you, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Yeah, if you know you know Petro, you know that's
one of those.
Speaker 9 (43:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
It's though.
Speaker 9 (43:54):
I was at yoga today and and my friend Joseph,
who I believe was on the Filipino national basketball team,
was asking me, uh, you know what I thought about
the Luca trade. And I told him about the phone,
the bat phone, and the vampire house and some other
guy who was tall. So he probably thought he had
(44:17):
some kind of basketball legitimacy, which he probably does over me.
He was like, oh, you guys are going with the
conspiracy theories. It's like, you don't get out of here
talk to me, Petros.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Are you guys are gonna Is it a state? Is it?
Speaker 4 (44:31):
Is it a is it a flex? A?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Lord?
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Tomorrow the Dodgers are.
Speaker 9 (44:33):
Back, So money show on l A in La mean.

Winnie Harlowe.

Congratulations of that happening.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
Oh, congrats nice, that's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (45:08):
Did you guys know that Cardi B's hooking up with
Stefan Dick?
Speaker 4 (45:10):
I told Jonas that earlier.
Speaker 9 (45:12):
See I'm not just up on Swift and came up down.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
All the game. My god, my umbrella, there you go.
I mean, LaVar just showed me some information about lamar
Odom and who he's dating, and uh, did you see
that one?
Speaker 9 (45:23):
Hey, you got it. My first song on the radio
that I ever did parody song was to the Gambler
by Kenny Rogers. You know, you gotta know when to
hold him, but you gotta know lamar Odom. He rolls,
blunts and smokes.
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Oh oh yeah, he found another one.
Speaker 9 (45:42):
Third grade, he was eleven. He found it.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
Don't don't put eleven in there. You found another one.
Speaker 5 (45:49):
I just I just saw what's happening.

The mind might be a little different, and she on
the mind. Put it this way. Petros and she the
s is silent. Oh no, there's a tang. Brown was like,

that's wonderful for that one off the market at the
Old p is where you can find him.

doctor l A brother. I'm telling you, God, forty minutes,
all that gook come up out of you. Everything you

No way. Just some of us is just a builder, different,
(01:58):
you know what I mean? Like that physician see soft
people everyday people, normal people like you. You're not normal, bro,
You're you're There's no there's no deals between mermidens and men,

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Like everybody else. Man that's cool, okay, you and your physician.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I'd like to be alive.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
God bless you man. I've been doing that for like
five six years seven. I would love to witness this.
Speaker 8 (02:29):
I would love to sit there with a timer and
actually see if you sit in there for forty minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, anytime, anytime, anytime.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
How hot does it get? I did it this morning.
When I go that long, I stay at one ten.
When I do twenty twenty to thirty, thirty, twenty to thirty,
I do like one twenty. I do one twenty with
a sweatsuit on and socks on my hands and my feet.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I feeling that.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
That's important because you don't want to burn your toes
or anything like that, you know, just telling you when
you feel really good, man, like you feel like clear, clean, rejuvenated,
like you feel good. I mean, my eyes be fire
fire red. But other than that, you know, you're you're good,
nice and relaxed. Yeah, it's good. But anyways, that's just
(03:18):
for you know, people like me. You know, that's all
you know. I'll take that. I want you to be
alive too, you know what I mean. I'm not trying
to kill you off. This is not an assassinator. This
is not a self inflicted assassination attempt on you, I promise.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
It's all good man. It's not a coup na, not
at all. What are we cooing? I'm not taking over
anything anyways. This is the Colin cow Herds show.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Is the herd would be. It would be sweet if
we did find out this was all an attempt so
that his big dune kickoff spot this.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I certainly would not get his bigness about leap. Yeah,
I don't get the criteria Brady in seed just say.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Just saying why not. I certainly would not clear it
up for LeVar Arrington just so work so that that's
easily not what it would be for what seems to
be missing.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Well you tell them Johnson, all right, so it is
Black History month, so if there were time to do it,
it'd be now you know what I mean, try to
leverage it, that's right. Yeah, and you got thirty one No,
it's only twenty eight days in the Yeah, it's not many.
I don't give you a long month.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah, say, why didn't they give you long They.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Don't give you a long month. They give you the
shortest month. You know what I mean, let's get it in,
get it out, get it done. I can agree to here, guys.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Okay, let's not let's not get carried away, you know,
settled down, all right?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
All right?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
So alrighty, then, speaking of the NFL, not that we
talked about the NFL there, but the NFL there wasn't
an announcement that was made. So remember that game in
Brazil last year and open up the season on a
Friday night, you had the Packers and the Eagles. It
was the night after the opener between the Ravens and
the Chiefs, and that game was presented in Brazil. Apparently
(05:06):
we're going to be going back there, and we already
know who the team designated as the home team is
going to be. That team to open up the first
Friday of the season this year is none other than
the Los Angeles Chargers. They will be in Brazil. So
the Bolts are going to bring be in Brazil, which
begs the question, well, a couple of questions. First, I
(05:29):
guess last year went okay, I guess last year went
well enough that they're returning. Second, who are they going
to be playing? And we do have some options and
some teams that are out there that would be potential
options for the Chargers when they're opening up the season
as the home team. You got your divisional games and
then you've got your Texans, Colts, Commanders, Steelers, Vikings, and Eagles.
(05:52):
I'm assuming they're not going to send Philly back there,
obviously they just won the Super Bowl. Well when we're
just in Brazil, but that would make sense because they
open up the year Thursday. Tradition, the Super Bowl champ
always opens up the season the next year, like the Chiefs.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
You're clearly establishing the Chargers as the home team. So
is that a market? Are you trying to position them
just like maybe the Jaguars are being positioned for for Wimberley?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Can I ask this question? And excuse me if I
miss this amongst and discussing who's playing?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Who's it a home game for Chargers?
Speaker 8 (06:28):
Okay, so technically be a CBS game, right because they
have the rights to that, unless I'm wrong in assuming
how these games get swapped. But usually NFC is CBS,
AFC is no excuse you other the way around, So
it's AFC, so it would be a CBS game, but
NFC is Fox.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It was Peacock last year, the opener was, Okay, there
you go.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
So maybe and the reason why this matters, you know,
it just so happens that, you know, if you're a prominent,
you know, figure, like the number one guy at a network,
maybe you would or wouldn't want to go back down
to Brazil to call a game.
Speaker 9 (07:08):
I want to go.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I one would go to Saio. I don't doubt that
you would want to go.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
I'm just saying for something touch a subject there.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Yeah, I get it. Like, you know, jiu jitsu and
all that stuff, that's where's that's where it comes from.
That's where it originates from. And when you know that
jiu jitsu, you know, you know how to manipulate your
body and put people in choke holds and locks and
leg locks and submissions. Submission is a big one. Q.
That is a big one. And that might be why
(07:40):
that person doesn't want to go call the game? Good call?
You know why submit? You're a champion, you know, ultimate champion. Yeah,
there you go many times over. But I would say this,
I would venture to say, there are plenty more models
out there that would probably we're Victoria's secrets or or
do a you know a sports illustrated shoot for the cover,
(08:02):
and I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I would do it. At what point are we at
getting to the I guess the eventual spot of now
we're kind of going overseas a little bit too much.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Like they're trying to expand the borders. That's why I'm
leading off with with my thought is what is the
ultimate goal for the Bolts? You have two teams in
a market where it's a super large media market. But
let's be clear here, it's it's not the greatest for
the NFL. It's not the best medium of the market
(08:38):
for football team.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
You think the Bolts are going to Brazil? I mean
the South Paulo Bolts.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I mean, is it the possibility that you could expand
your borders to a very large market and extend your
your growth of your fan base into South America?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Lee, Can you look up or is that South America?
Central America? Is that South America? South America? Can you
look up Chargers in Portuguese? Like, what's the like? How
do we say that? And I mean, by the way,
since they're going to Brazil, they're real lucky that security
guard is not working for the team anymore, because that
that would have been Dicey a whole lot of hand
in his pocket. Yeah, that would have been real, real
(09:17):
dice You soon with their soccer? Uh kind of gott oas?
Speaker 10 (09:20):
What what kinda godas kinda godas gotta goododas the Los
Angeles kinda gododas get my pocket?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yeah? Oh no, I don't know. I don't know what's
throw with you? Guys, man? Could you just be professional
for once, just once in your bleeping career. Be professional.
We're trying to talk about the NFL going to Brazil
and you guys are trying to steer us into the ditch, and.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
You clearly hit a saturation point in fan base and
fan growth in America. You maxed out when you went
to Taylor Swift and started leaning on her to be
more appealing to the female audience. Like you've met, You're
they are maxing out in the United States?
Speaker 9 (10:07):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
There's still there's a lot of people didn't watch the
Super Bowl, and those people probably get those people.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Those people probably aren't going to watch it. They're probably
not going to watch it, and probably a lot of
them are in California that aren't going to watch it.
I just think that expanding the borders. That's always been
something that that has been a major point of emphasis,
especially since Goodell has been the commissioner of the league.
(10:34):
And you're talking about how they've they've you know, had
the combat the concussions, you know, the concussions deal. They've
they've leaned very very deep into flag football, turning it
into a more global sport, you know, globally, you know, embraced,
globally consumed. It's going to be a part of the
(10:56):
Olympics that comes to to the United States. I mean,
there's just if you look at how the position of it,
the positioning of it is, you know, they're expanding their borders.
The NFL Euro didn't work. I don't know why it
didn't work, but it didn't work. But nonetheless, there is
still an audience that is abroad that the NFL is targeting,
(11:20):
and it must be based upon the information that they're
collecting and the data that they're collecting and seeing who
is participating. And I guess, I guess this part of Brazil,
this part of South America checks off the box to
continue to try to develop there. I mean, to me,
that's how I make sense of it. I could be
all the way wrong. But that's how I make sense
(11:41):
of it.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
I think you're always going to have a hard time
in breaking into like what is the world sport?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Which is soccer? I mean or football?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
They would say ever sives, But you know, the NFL
can trial once to have games there. Maybe they create
fans out of people of the game, but soccer is
always going to be near and dear to their heart.
So that's just the truth. And so these games to
me signify if you normalize more regular season games in
other cities and destinations across the world, I think it
(12:11):
creates more of an openness to I don't know if
it's going to be a team in one of those
cities in the future, or even just a super Bowl
in a place other than you know, one of the
venues that we've got in the US. Like that's what
I feel like sometimes it opens up to is the
opportunity to play a Super Bowl in a foreign country,
like we kind of all have tabbed if there's gonna
be that country, it's probably gonna be London. Like England's
(12:35):
probably gonna host that first one because they've been there
so much for the Jags and for the international games.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
In general. But I feel like the more you normalize.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
You know, this this ability to go play regular season
games in foreign countries and figure out a way of
doing that, the more you try to kind of bring
more excitement to the sport.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And this is.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Actually like this this thought dawned on me and it
happened back in New Orleans, and I don't know how
you guys felt, but it just didn't feel like there
was much of a buzz.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
And granted we're there early, but we also were there.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
To a point too where you could see a little
bit of the crowds, people who would kind of come
through a radio row. But it just it feels like
there's something off. And I'm not gonna say who said this,
but the comment was made that, yeah, it's another Super Bowl,
same you know, guys who've been done playing for ten,
twenty plus years now just walking through selling something like
(13:29):
that was basically like the comment that was made, And
that's true, but it's true, and it is kind of tiring.
It's like, yeah, we've seen it again, all right, what
are you pitching this year?
Speaker 9 (13:38):
You know?
Speaker 8 (13:38):
And and there's nothing wrong with that, Like those companies
think it's it's successful for them to make money, and
obviously the player wants to get paid money or the
past player. I get all that, but there is something too.
If you put one of these major games, like a
super Bowl, in a different venue, different city, there would
be more excitement around it. There'd be a new buzz
(14:00):
around it. I can only share that a little bit
just from going to an international game for the football
game and we went over for Notre Dame Navy. That
was one of the coolest experiences ever. And it was
cool because you got to share that with a bunch
of people who are curious about football.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
You know, maybe they know about Notre Dame, maybe they don't,
but regardless.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
I mean, one of the funniest things that still struck
me from that experience was the cab driver was excited
about the flyover because they never get flyovers for soccer
matches or rugby matches, so that was.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
His whole thing, was like he's, oh, I can't wait
for the flyover.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
And it did feel like maybe they don't do that
very often over there because those things could have potentially
landed in the stadium they're so low. But the general
point is I just I feel like it would bring
a new sense of excitement outside of hosting a super
Bowl in one of these newly constructed stadiums.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
But how in the United States market? What do you
mean like here it will bring excitement here? Where is
it bringing the excitement too? It's pretting excitement one to
go to a destination. I mean you're traveling to go
see a game over there. I mean again going to
a London game, being a part of one of those
for the international Games. And this is you know, dating
back to what two thousand and uh in twenty ten
(15:14):
when we went over with the Broncos played the forty
nine ers, it was just cool to see the response
to football and how people showed.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Up in the stadiums with like all these different jerseys on.
It wasn't like it was just like Broncos fans of
forty nine Ers fans. It was like a slew of people.
We were just fans of football. And so, you know,
I think that experience to share it with other places great,
But I mean think about this, These games have become
so so expensive to get into.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
It's not like your average Joe Schmoe's going to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Anyway, correct, So it's more of an experience corporately speaking,
or or an experience in.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
General, you know what I'm saying, Like it's kind of
like it's an experience in general. So like if you're
planning going to the Super Bowl, you're planning ongoing, but
you know you're gonna shll out a lot of money
for It's like, what does it? Does it make that
big of a different to you if it's in Brazil
or London or somewhere else versus if it's in or
is it San Francisco next year, Santa Clara?
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I think it makes a difference only in the sense
that there's a familiar.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Or exciting to go somewhere else to it.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
I mean, I no disrespect to going to Santa Clara.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I much rather go I much rather go to South
Paulo to go see a Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Any day period, Super bowlaring really or not. I love
the Bay Area. I mean the Bay Area is cool,
it's technology. There's a lot a lot of things going
incubating going on there. But I'd like to incubate in
And you know, since so Polo, I guess I guess
that do they eat cornbread something?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
They eat something there because it's it's very good whatever
it is. But I just say this, I just again,
I think the further you get away from it being
an American sport, the you nine at state sport, which
that's what football is, That's what American football is. I
think you run the risk of going away from the
(17:09):
culture and the pillars and foundational components that made the
game what it is today.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
But how do you expand the sport?
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Then it's a it's a it's a it is a dilemma,
and it is a challenge to try to figure out
how do you grow and expand the sport.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
But yeah, I see it more as an opportunity, you know,
like that that's and that's why I feel like the
NFL seas is when they did this in NFL Europe,
which I mean I'm sure you played with guys who
played over in NFL Europe, right mm hm, because that
was just what winding down when when you were kind
of think.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
It was yeah, yeah, yeah, winding down correct.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Which I mean, look, I would all go back to this,
like I think that set the foundation be done, right,
But I think that's that's that's set the foundation for
a lot of the fandom that's there now for the
game of football because they introduced to it at a
young age, and then as it's grown, they've probably kept
tabs and as it's you know, continued to expand where
they want to play more games, like actual regular season games.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
There there's more excitement around it.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
So again, you know, who knows if it'll ever happen,
But if it did happen, I could I could see.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
A Super Bowl being played in London.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
And I know it may upset some purists and some fans,
but it's the same fans who want to complain about
officiating rule changes. It's the same fans who want to
complain about something else that they're frustrated by or upset by.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
You're still going to watch.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
If we learned anything from this past Super Bowl, one
in which you saw two teams that it played a
couple of years back, one that's played three years in
a row now a blowout, yet it still was the
all time highest rated game.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, there's also something too like out here in southern California.
I would be willing to bet that there are more
Cowboys fans than Chargers or Rams fans. Smart of the
Cowboys to come out here every year, and that's that's
part of it because they've made this destination and they
go to Oxnard, or as Brady calls it, n Oxnard.
(19:08):
They go there and they put on their training camp
and the Cowboys because of that, have a huge fan
base out here.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Same with the Raiders, so for the Chargers. But they
did say that it fell off a little bit this
past year. They did say there wasn't very many people,
not as many people coming and droves like they had
in years past.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
But they were all in. It doesn't make any sense
they were all in this past year. That's why, you know,
I find that hard to believe. But you know, just
just throwing it out there again, like we did last year.
If they need us to go cover.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
This thing, we should go. We talked about it last year.
I make sure I had my passport. Man, I still
haven't went and got it. Really yeah, I was like,
we didn't go, and I'm not in the rust.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Wait, you never got your pass I never wanted to.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Get Yeah, I never went to get it.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Like the rush period, I paid for the rush period
and I had to drive all the way back over
to where that court building was and I once I
missed the flight. I just wasn't motivated to go take
that drive again within like the next week or so.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So any advice for LeVar on how to get this handled, Well, I.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Just got to go to like a drug store right
to take the picture and send it in and then
like CVS or something.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
I tried doing that, and then they just they want
the money, so they just make you pay for the
taking a picture in the office anyway, They're like, yeah,
that picture doesn't work.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
So I'm not driving all the way back over which
I don't know how far away that is from where
I currently live now though the LA you know where
the LA Courthouse is or whatever that is, I don't know.
I just didn't want to go back and do it.
Like there was a line. There were like three lines,
and they were literally you have to schedule your time,
your appointment, which is dumb because then you go stand
(20:49):
in the line full of like sixty seventy eighty ninety
one hundred people and there's like three lines of them.
It's not it's crazy. Yeah, definitely make an appointment, but
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I'll show you. I'll show you some images on Instagram
from places to go to in Brazil and you'll probably
get motivated real quick. Would Bobby Orchids go? I mean,
he would never come back. I'll tell you that. What
about the song? You better keep keep all of the
massage and justin Tucker out of there? That would How
(21:22):
about tuck me Tucker, don'ts me? He's the Herd Here

Who the hell knows what he's going to have to
say about this whole Chargers going to Brazil fiasco. That
could be a lot of fun with Petros. All of
it is yours here again on this three hour extrapaganza.
But we do have ourselves somebody in the NFL who's
been locked up, no not like legally, but locked up
(22:03):

going to have any p prisco issues from yesterday. But
it does look like, uh confused looks there behind the scenes.
Your thoughts on the confusion behind the scenes, Brady, what
would you uh, what would you say about that?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
A lot of beers, It does seem like whenever Lee's involved.
Not to throw Lee under the bus, but for those
of you that have listened to our show early in
the morning, there tends to be a lot of fuzzy
things that are going on, and stuff just doesn't work.
And Lee maybe forgot to call one of the guests
(23:59):
to say, hey, we changed our hours. We're actually gonna
be calling you a little later in the day. Is
that okay? Sometimes those uh, those little details fall through
the through the.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Cracks running for Kurrs. Here he comes here, come, yep,
there he is running from Captain two days in a row.
It's it's very, very, very troubling, all right. So without
further Ado, let's turn it over to the man himself,
Petros Papade, because he is the co host of the
Petros and Money Show, which you can hear on the
(24:30):
Blowtorch AM five seventy l a sports a Fox college
football analyst and get him on ex at the old
p P. Good morning slash afternoon, depending on where you're
listening in the country. But we appreciate you coming on
with us here.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
No problem, Hello, Hello, This is not my first time
on this show. Nice, but usually it's the filings that
asked me to come on.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Okay, so I see shooting what shouts? Huh I've been blazing.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Huh.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
I've been on there with uh count four oh five,
but not not in a while.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Okay, cat.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Bang bang?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Is that a shot at you Jonas?
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yeah, of course it is.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
No, No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I'm count one on one.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
He's off the one on one.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Petros.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
When is the last time you saw Jonas in person?
Speaker 10 (25:23):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Not long? A couple of months ago. Yeah. He has
an interesting look.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Was it was? He also looks pale as hell like
he never goes out in the sun.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Well, I mean the guy does the radio show at
two in the morning in in the West Coast, and
and then he sometimes you know, does one in the afternoon.
What I'm saying is he's indoors a lot.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Yeah, I don't think is gonna help at night.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
It's an editor guy probably go outside, a guy that
sits in an edit Bay all day, it just grows old.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Night.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
It is true, he does the sun.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
All right, I'm here for you guys.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
I know we've caught up since the super Bowl, but
I wanted to make sure you understood. There's many a
morning's where I looked out in that crowd and I thought,
that's Kansas City's version of Petros. Hey, Yeah, here's Philadelphia's
version of Petros.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Yeah it's tough.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Hey, that's Saint Louis's version of Petros. I mean you
kind of kept going down the line. I completely understood
your stance on that. Where is the next super Bowl,
Santa Clara? Yeah, I mean that is an amazing drop off, right.
I mean I'm not for parties or people or really
a good time at all. I'm very hateful, which is
(26:39):
why probably haven't been on in a while. But that
being said, uh, New Orleans is a great town, and
New Orleans is a fun resort, kind of not resort,
but convention. It kind of absorbs that kind of stuff
very well. And the super Bowl's great there because you're
having a good time, but at the same time, you
don't feel like the cheeseball idiot that you really are.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Because you're partying at the super Bowl that does not
exist in Santa Clara. In fact, almost nothing exists in
Santa Clara, and you're nowhere close to anywhere you want
to be. San Jose has nothing to offer you. San
Francisco used to be the Bagdad by the Bay. Now
it's a big pile of poop and needles. But that
being said, I mean it's still a kind of a
(27:22):
fun city to kick around in. But you're you know,
you're at least forty five minutes from there in Santa
Clara in a badly built stadium. I mean, that is
kind of an amazing thing in today's day and age
that we have all this technology, all these architects, all
these people in the twenty first century, and you can
still just totally drop the ball building an NFL football stadium,
(27:47):
even though you have billions of dollars and all that,
you just build it the wrong way. But the sun
is like, well, the sun is blaring down on you
at one o'clock on the home team side, which was
a big probably have you been in there, yeah, Brady,
we did a game in there once. Remember we did
the Packed twelve Championship.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Yeah, which can I make a case for you. I
feel like like you're an unbelievable host. And I'm not
just saying this because you're on with us, Like I've
worked with you, I've witnessed it. You did do such
a good job in the snares. You did the Big
twelve one the one year we were together, and then
you did the Pac twelve one, and both of them.
I was like, I wanted to watch those, Like usually
(28:28):
that's like, okay, like let's pack up and go. I
literally stayed just to watch, just to watch you on those,
Like that's how entertaining it was.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Yeah, they don't ask me to do him much anymore.
They used to like me to do the old Doctor
Pepper halftime thing because they couldn't trust Bruce Feldman with it.
I guess no. I mean, I love Bruce, but could
you imagine him do it?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
That's not a big deal.
Speaker 9 (28:48):
Yeah. Could you imagine he'd sit there and like take
a text from Chip Kelly halfway through and no one
would know who won. Uh. So that's why they would
have me do it, I guess, is just to do
the Doctor Pepper. But you're right, I enjoyed the I
remember doing one of those the one I did at
the PAC twelve when Washington, our friend Chris Peterson beat
a pretty beat up Utah team, very boring game. It
(29:10):
was like nine to six, And I remember doing that
half doing that postgame with Larry Scott, who was at
that point already universally despised and anybody with half a
brain saw he was taken down the conference.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
But besides the nice gift you used to get at
the Patch twelve dinners, remember days.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Oh come on, I still use my earbuds right now.
But but Larry Scott was like, okay, I'll take the
microphone now. I said, no, you won't. You will not.
And I almost had like to battle him with my
fist and the mic where he tried to like kind
of pride out of my hand like Pat Hayden and
Steve Sarkisian behind stage that one night, and and it
(29:51):
got a little ugly for a second. But the one
thing you have to know is if you ever give
your mic to anybody, I don't care if it's Rob
Gronkowski who just won the Super Bowl or what. You
can't give your mic to Larry Scott or the young
man you're interviewing or or the head coach, be it
Chris Peterson or anybody. You've got to keep that mic.
If they want to hold the mic, they've got to
(30:12):
hold the mic outside of your hand. Your hand has
to be the prophylactic because if you give up that mic,
you're never getting hired again. Now, of course I never
gave up the mic, and I'm still not getting hired again.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
So speaking of getting hired or getting fired or moving on.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
I want to get higher.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, good, good again, good again. I know that song too.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
I know That's why I did it. Go ahead, your.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Guy, Matthew Stafford? Is he to go or not to go?
That is the question.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
And do you like the I guess we're hearing Garoppolo
possibly or maybe you know, I don't. What are you
thinking in terms of quarterback?
Speaker 9 (30:58):
For well, what is that that old schefter said? You know,
not that I'd pay much attention to anything. But schefter
said maybe Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah, if Stafford goes away, well you think about that.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
Well, don't they have a bit of a connection through
Lafleur and all those guys from the commanders. From what
I understand, McVeigh and all those people, they were all
on that Shanahan staff Ye, through your old team LeVar
and then and then they've kind of scattered around the NFL.
But most of those guys I imagine kind of like
Andy Reid and Brett Farv and that old that old
(31:31):
contingent of coaches Steve Mary Yucci that we used to
hear about. Those guys all seem to really like Aaron Rodgers,
you know, the same way all those guys that scattered
around from the Green Bay staff under Mike Holmgren really
like Brett Farve. So maybe that works in la Aaron
can be in a major media market, and it gives
the the the Rams a chance to stick it to
(31:54):
Kelly Stafford because they're tired of listening to her and
her podcast. My radio partner brought that up up yesterday
on our show that maybe they say, oh, Kelly, you
like that, You want to go on there and say this,
say that, Well, here you go. You get to go
to New York City where they suck, and here comes
Aaron Rodgers to take your place.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Woo dang.
Speaker 2 (32:14):

behind the stories in the world of sports and pop culture,
stories that well other shows don't seem to have the
time to discuss.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
And the fact that we've been friends for the last
twenty years and still work together. I mean that says something, right,
So check us out.
Speaker 11 (32:51):

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah, we don't need your podcast together Rogers.
Speaker 9 (33:18):
She's that redemption, right, I mean because Farv did the
same thing. He left Green Bay. They went, he went
to the jets. He took a picture of his gray
pube pets.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
WHOA, Well he didn't he did.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
What are you talking about? That wasn't him. I mean
it was always like his crocs, but that was definitely
not him.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
All right, you're right, I'm sorry that's alleged.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
That was definitely brear.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
Well, you could just say it didn't end well, it
ended in controversy and because of that, you know, he
needed a redemption story, which he really did get in Minnesota.
I mean he was bawling his old asshof.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
He did have a nice watch in Minnesota.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
I'll show you a watch, tang. So anyway, maybe Aaron
Rodgers gets that at SOFI. You know, that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Patro's just curious your thoughts. Obviously you mentioned your partner,
Matt money Smith, the voice of the Bolts. They're on
their way to Brazil.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Yeah, well it's a plan.
Speaker 9 (34:17):
As you guys know, I'm a bit of an agoraphobe
and really really don't like traveling, getting worse as I
get older. I have to go places, and I do.
But going to Brazil, where I've read a little bit about,
but I know it's pretty wild and chaotic, is not
on my list. Although I do enjoy the music the Tropicalia,
(34:40):
which is like what they listen to inside Brazil, and
the Bosa Nova which they set around the world with
the great writer and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis
Bonfa and many like that.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
So yeah, I do so well versed when you have these,
you know, like what when you have an agoraphobic moment,
I just get uncomfortable, you know, Okay, that's it, like you,
but you can handle it though, I guess.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
I mean, I haven't been in Brazil. No one's trying
to steal my kidney. You know that Ryan Lockney got
in a fight at a gas stage remember the Swimmer. Yeah, no,
it looks like a lot of fun. What we like
to do with Matt because he does travel, you know,
he works with the Chargers and and he travels other
than that too. He does college basketball and stuff. I
like to. There's a movie called The Five Obstructions, and
(35:32):
it's like a it's like a bet between two really
really famous international movie makers. Jurgen Left and Lars von
Trier and this guy like sets up these impossible movie
making obstructions for this other movie maker and then makes
a movie about him trying to to to clear the obstructions.
(35:53):
So we do that with Matt, Like when he went
to Baltimore, I made him find Edgar Allan Poe's grave.
I made him go and get a big cannon Natty Bow,
the national Bohemian beer that they made him eat a
crab cake. You know, it all has to be documented.
In Jacksonville, there's like some weird cartoon looking dinosaur. I
(36:14):
made him get on an uber and find that. And
you know his obstructions in Houston that the Chargers when
they had their playoff game. I only do it for
the playoffs didn't go so well, and maybe that's why
the Chargers lost some allege. So we'll see, Like I
could send him to Brazil and do obstructions, but he
might not live through.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Huh. I mean, what was the plan in Houston that
he didn't execute.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
I wanted him to go to this really old bar
in downtown and instead, like he was like, well we
was staying twenty minutes. I didn't make it. He kind
of blew it off in a way. And I'm not
saying that's why the Chargers collapsed at all.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah, they didn't play well.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
No, he did make it to one of the structures,
like a weird fountain or something.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Better situation. Is it a better situation to keep your guy?
I'm sorry you. Is it a better situation to keep
Stafford or is it a better situation with one of
the other options.
Speaker 9 (37:08):
Well, I don't think they're gonna get rid of him
because his wife is annoying. Okay, although it's pretty annoying.
I mean, just think about the timeline. Remember last year.
I mean, they have Pooka Nakua, who's fixing to be
the best rookie receiver we've seen in years. Yeah, and
he's on there, he's in there camp. And remember she
came out on her podcast was like, Matt doesn't even
relate with these young guys that I was on their
(37:30):
phone and he doesn't even remember that.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Yeah, I do, Yeah, like that, I do.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Yeah. I mean, let's sneed doesn't seem like he's not annoying,
but he's got to be annoyed by this, you know.
And uh, I mean you've seen his frames and the
glasses he wears and that stupid shirt on the I mean,
she's done a lot of things that are pretty questionable.
And then yeah, you know I dated the backup to
(37:57):
make him just you know, it was that And now
there's like, if I have to be the dog, I
will be. You know, we want to win a championship.
Matthia wants to win. It's like, okay, but I don't
think that's why they'd get rid of him. But if
they're gonna, if they're far apart on a deal, I
don't think that would help that she's got wind in
her jaws, and I think no, I think the pragmatic
(38:19):
thing to do is to bring in Matt Stafford again.
And he's still playing on a high level, and he's
got a great arm, and he's competitive and even though
it seems like his wife beats the crap out of him,
he's pretty tough.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
What is he? Cap Rooney?
Speaker 9 (38:35):
Yea yes, Lauren Hawley a forgotten nineties actress.
Speaker 8 (38:43):
Petros I want to go back and get your thoughts
on the NDA All Star Game as well as Lebron
deciding to opt out of the All Star Game.
Speaker 9 (38:52):
Well, I mean, do you can I go full conspiracy theory.
I mean, I know I already mentioned Brett Farr's nether regions,
but can I go full conspiracy theory? Sure? Sure? Ty right?
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Do you have any unsolved mysteries music we can play
for Petros? Will we?
Speaker 9 (39:05):
I mean, I'll take current Affair the old Tony Bruno
sw I think Adam Silver did this. I don't believe
that this idiot in Dallas and our guy with the
tight bomber jacket in La Polenka and Nico Harrison figured
this out themselves and it didn't leak for months.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
And I don't believe an ounce of that story.
Speaker 9 (39:31):
I don't. I believe that a call was made, probably
laid into the afternoon, that from Genie Buss or some
proxy could be Linda Ramdas to the vampire Adam Silver's
house and in his coffin six feet deep. He took
the red phone call and said blah hello, and because
(39:56):
he's like a vampire, and Genie Buss said, look, we
took Lebron. Now you've got to get us out of this.
His weird agency is up in our building. He's destroying everything.
And none of our fans like us anymore. Many of
our fans won't start watching the Lakers again until he's gone.
We need something, just like we needed something when Kareem came,
(40:19):
just like we needed something, When Paul Gasol came, just
like we needed something, and all these other times, and
Silver waved his vampiric fingers and made this happen.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
So he's my Jonas's people.
Speaker 9 (40:35):
That makes Lebron and his people, because they're not without power, upset.
How do they counter? Well, they act all cool. When
Lucas shows up and he plays the nice guy that
won't last to see where you're going, Lebron says, here's
what I'm gonna do. I'm not going to play. I'm
gonna wreck your All Star game. I'm gonna wait till
(40:57):
an hour before tip, and then I'm gonna squat down
and defecate on your entire weekend.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
It's a great theory, but that's a very very strong
all right, Can I post this Robert stack and smoke?
Speaker 8 (41:13):
Did anyone care that he wasn't a part of a
game that really wasn't entertaining? Well, no, but he made
it about himself again, which is well, that's.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Took a shot he could have. At least he could
have at least put on the All Star uniform, right.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
At least we had the deflection where oh he got
god good, nice deflection, Lebron, thanks for ruining your sport,
but just to deflect to a team in Minnesota, know Wisconsin? Alright?
Speaker 4 (41:40):
Coolang, But yeah, you're right here. He could have put
the uniform on. At least he didn't want he Bruh.
That that's Petros.
Speaker 7 (41:52):
That's the best I've heard because I have been made
aware of the fact that they truly did not know.
I thought they were in the note and there they
were not in the know about what took place with
this trade.
Speaker 9 (42:04):
Well, what bothers me is you look at all these guys,
the people that work for Lebron, the Lebron media contingency,
and we all know who they are. One of them
looks like a tortoise, and not with that, you know,
I look kind of like a walrus with anyway, who
would be the tortoise, the one, the one with the
horse wind. Now, these guys all came out and said right,
(42:29):
and I barely trying to pay attention to this stuff,
but the hypocrisy is so glaring. Uh, these guys for years,
you know, every move that's been made with the Lakers.
These guys for years been like, well, you know, Lebron's
got nothing to do with it. A lot of people
want to say he knows, but he's got nothing to
do with it. And then this trade happens and Lebron
actually has nothing to do with it, and they all
(42:49):
come out and say, well, this is the first time Lebron'
said nothing to do it. It's like, well, what about
the last seven years of your lies? You freaking shit.
I don't know how any of the I mean, look,
I am not without problems, and I am not without flaws,
but the lack of integrity and honor not that the
(43:10):
sports media. I mean, we're already the toy department. How
do you mess up the toy department? And how do
you mess up a rock fight? I mean, we have
really destroyed, uh, how to cover these people. And it's
because they have proxies within the media that are planted.
I mean, when Lebron came to LA they brought a
studio host and a and a beat writer with him
(43:32):
and said, hey, hire this studio host and here hire
this beat writer. Do you think they ever write anything
bad about Lebron? Not thank you, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Yeah, if you know you know Petro, you know that's
one of those.
Speaker 9 (43:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
It's though.
Speaker 9 (43:54):
I was at yoga today and and my friend Joseph,
who I believe was on the Filipino national basketball team,
was asking me, uh, you know what I thought about
the Luca trade. And I told him about the phone,
the bat phone, and the vampire house and some other
guy who was tall. So he probably thought he had
(44:17):
some kind of basketball legitimacy, which he probably does over me.
He was like, oh, you guys are going with the
conspiracy theories. It's like, you don't get out of here
talk to me, Petros.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Are you guys are gonna Is it a state? Is it?
Speaker 4 (44:31):
Is it a is it a flex? A?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Lord?
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Tomorrow the Dodgers are.
Speaker 9 (44:33):
Back, So money show on l A in La mean.

Winnie Harlowe.

Congratulations of that happening.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
Oh, congrats nice, that's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (45:08):
Did you guys know that Cardi B's hooking up with
Stefan Dick?
Speaker 4 (45:10):
I told Jonas that earlier.
Speaker 9 (45:12):
See I'm not just up on Swift and came up down.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
All the game. My god, my umbrella, there you go.
I mean, LaVar just showed me some information about lamar
Odom and who he's dating, and uh, did you see
that one?
Speaker 9 (45:23):
Hey, you got it. My first song on the radio
that I ever did parody song was to the Gambler
by Kenny Rogers. You know, you gotta know when to
hold him, but you gotta know lamar Odom. He rolls,
blunts and smokes.
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Oh oh yeah, he found another one.
Speaker 9 (45:42):
Third grade, he was eleven. He found it.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
Don't don't put eleven in there. You found another one.
Speaker 5 (45:49):
I just I just saw what's happening.

The mind might be a little different, and she on
the mind. Put it this way. Petros and she the
s is silent. Oh no, there's a tang. Brown was like,

that's wonderful for that one off the market at the
Old p is where you can find him.
