just goes off and and my producer right, where is
my producer?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Is he sleeping? Is he sleeping? For crying that? Where
is my produce? Sorry? Sorry, Annie, I'm here? What is now?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
We're supposed to ask Manxi questions and she's like, well,
she has certain questions she wants to be asked. No,
how about if I surprise her with my own question?
Is that fine?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Or no?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
No, that's not that's what do you mean? That's not
how it works work because ain't nobody told me nothing?
And I don't have no questions.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
That's okay, that's okay questions.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Let's I'm gonna let's let's pull back the curtain here,
all right, VJ. I'm sure you've heard according to Manzi
on the Weekends before. Absolutely, it is a segment in
which Mancy has three different takes. She tells us ahead
of time, like what these takes are going to be?
All you have to do is just read the sentence that.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
But I got good questions, though, I got really good.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Questions that this is the entire premise of the segment.
All it is is that Mancy has three takes and
then you just set her up for.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It and I tell you what to say, and.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Wownie Arnie had me call him earlier to explain this
segment to you to him, and I did, and.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I still don't understand them.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Call me two hours later and it was like, so,
what is according to Manzi, and I said, it's the thing.
I already explained that I've.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Already the thing that I've already sent you.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
All it is is gonna give a take.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
But I but I got questions I want to ask too.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I got so you can do that. You can do
that outside of according to Manci.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You know, I don't know. I want to ask for
a courting to Manci. Just make sure I get the
questions because I haven't received them yet. I haven't sent it.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
It's not a question, it's just a statement that you're
going to say that you've done this done.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's it's been a while. Remember it's been a while.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
My statement is going to be one that you haven't
heard of.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And I'm gonna throw you for a loop and you're
gonna have to come up with an answer on the
spur of the moment.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, then guess perfect perfect that they broke us up.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Our vibe was too strong when we first met and
we just, I mean radio wise, we clicked. Someone saw
that was like, nah, we know that DJ and Manzi.
Hell no, there's too much chemistry, too much swag.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Too much show was with me? Was it not?
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Or what? When you you know what my very worst Yeah,
it was. It was with Arnie Spa.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Remember the boss calling me up.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
They go, we just want you to know you're gonna
be breaking in a new guy. And you know, you know,
we know that you're pretty funny, but for the first time,
you might.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Not be the funniest guy on this show. Like, okay,
see who you got coming out in?
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Uh, Charnie, real quick, I want to read this tweet
from Superstar that because this guy's blowing us up and
he's like he's.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Waiting for me to read this because I don't see
have to tweet your see and I don't know why.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
I'm not sure why either, but check this out. So
it says, gotta disagree with that big Vanilla funny. Having
seven hundred predictions is the definition of low hanging fruit.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Lol.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
With that many predictions, you bound to hit somewhere along
the lines. Bro five to ten big time predictions would
be way more respectable.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Truth be chose.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
So let me explain. Well, no, let me let me
explain something. First of all, the way this whole Uncle
VJ prediction thing starting, Arnie, you had me on your
show last year on your son and I showed up
that you pick a number, and I read the number.
It started with the ESPN put out a hundred NFL
predictions last year, and Martin and both thought it would
be funny to read them to me because they know
how competitive I am. And they said, I guarantee you
(04:13):
Vj's gonna go home and write one hundred and one
of them because they read all the ones that go
against my football, like the Dolphins or two are players.
I like they purposely did that to me. So I
went home and I said, I'm not just gonna do
one hundred and one.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm gonna do one.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Hundred and seventeen because seventeen is my football number. But
the way I do it is I do every team predictions,
so that's thirty two. Then I write down Eddie every
category passing, rushing, interceptions, tackles, and then I predict what
guys gonna lead or what guy's gonna have a leap
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
That's how it gets to win eighteen.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
So actually, Superstar that what I'm doing dog is not
low hagin fruit because I'm just not throwing out random things.
I am predicting guys that can lead categories. Coaches that
will be fired. How many quarterbacks a team's gonna end
up playing? Which all I hit on last year hit
on Josh McDaniels. I said the Jets would play three
quarterbacks last year. How many quarterbacks did they just play?
(05:07):
They actually played four. So I those are the type
of predictions that I'm putting out because already you put
some bad you put some bad juice on.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
No.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
You got people thinking I'm just this you don't like. No,
this is thought. Trust me. I listen, superstar dad, you
want to challenge me, how about you write one hundred
down and then sent them and then we'll re yours.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Nobby also asked you this because this was said to
me before yesterday's show, So maybe you'd be good to
ask this. First of all, we love football absolutely all
a door football.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
We all love it.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I could I could talk Arizona football, I could talk
NFL college football all day long. Chris Plank, of course,
does the Oklahoma sideline reporting. He loves his college football.
So my question is this. Somebody said, is this a
tough time for you because there's no sports going on?
Is this the worst week? That's why everybody's taking vacation
and you guys filling a lot. Actually enjoyed this week.
(05:59):
I enjoyed talking other things than sports, kind of going
outside that box like Montsi was talking about the boucher
and and other sports that we really don't get a
chance to talk a lot about. Kind of get outside
her comfort zone. It's only for a week, and I
enjoy it, to be honest with you. For me, it's
more off the air. This week allows me to prep.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Like I went to the store the other night and
brought like nine composition books because I have books for
you know, college football, all my predictions, teams to look
out for things that I write a lot. You and
I and Arnie we're still a last breed in this
business that we write a lot down. I don't type,
and I don't use the internet. Car just going to
a screen. Anybody could click on the website and read
on live air. Anybody can do that. Did you put
(06:41):
the prep in so a week like this? These next
two weeks, actually this is prep time for me. You know,
the camp the rookies are showing up. This is when
the juices start really flowing as far as to having fun.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Thing.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
That's going back to the way the business you know,
is that they we're talking about debate shows and stuff earlier.
That's how I like to do sports all the time.
It was like cod, I don't mind talking something fun.
I don't mind talking about the best burger you had
at the stadium somewhere, or you know, you can always
throw those little things into I think Dan Patrick does
a great job at it. That's why I listen to
(07:14):
Cavino Rich because it's not your normal uh sports talk.
Like I said, anybody can get on air, and we're
not are like where the Todd Wright used to say,
We're not a sports show. We just talk about what
sports fans talk about.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
I mean, look, Rob Rob Parker ight talks about wings
and Golden Girls, and it becomes his thing. Like when
you go Fox Sports Radio Golden Girls, who's the first
person to pops It's gonna be Rob Parker. But it's
got nothing to do with sports, but it's fun. It's
become part of his personality, has become part of his brand.
And that's that's I like to be that way all
the year instead of just when there's nothing to talk about,
(07:50):
you know, so there's always notugh to talk about.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Eric says like your boss of a Vikings fan that said,
I've got to take it on green Bay winning the
Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
VJ.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Don't forget the Packers. Let Jones go in favor of
Josh Jacobs. That's one of my overrated teams. I'm in
the minority on this. I don't know that Jordan Love
is the next best thing since slice spread. I want
to see what numbers he's gonna put up. It's a
tough division. The Bears are gonna be better with Caleb Williams.
I just I'm not buying into the whole Green Bay hype,
(08:23):
and I'm certainly not buying them into winning a super.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Bowl, though they did have a good playoff victory against Dallas.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Nah. I like Green Bay. I like Green Bay a lot.
And here's my thing about Jordan Love. It's the same
thing with any of these young quarterbacks. If you believe
he's the guy, then don't talk about him. Might not
bean the guy. Go with the positive affirmation that's normally
gonna work out better for you in life period. As
they say, as a man and woman shall speak, so
shall their life go. So just say he's the guy,
(08:51):
this is who you're riding listen, you don't have nobody else.
Who else are you gonna put it? He's the guy
once again. The Josh Jacobs move right on the tweet there.
But I just like Dylan dilar Rut's Josh Jacobs. I
think might have got some tread warn off those tires
down in Vegas and running for the Raiders. So I
think they're gonna be a two back system there. The
lynchpins to this team is the receiving corps. Watson missed
(09:12):
a lot of time last year and he was supposed
to be the next young good receiver in the NFL.
They got some other kids there too, but that's gonna
be where their money is gonna be made. Can these
guys stay healthy and can they catch the ball all
the time when they're supposed to and help their quarterback out?
They'll run the football. I like the defense there. I
think the defensive bruiser gets better than it was last year.
(09:33):
The Bears just there's too much on tape about about
Caleb Williams that I just don't like, and it's it's
just the tape. I'm not going off the fingernails. I'm
not going off the swag. I'm not going off. None
of that, don't I don't talk about that stuff. That
doesn't matter to me. But when you put the tape on,
there's four bad tape games last year, four, not one,
not two, not three. There's four bad tape games against
(09:55):
other NFL type players that were in college last year.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You can't ignore that.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Just because you get him Roma Doonza and just because
you get him Keenan Allen and you get him so okay,
but he still has By the way, they're great weapons.
But when you hit the back foot, you gotta read it,
see it, let it go. It's what my quarterback tell me.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I think he's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
I remember now with Roma dud they remember in this
receiver cord. Every year there's what the last five or
six years, there's like five or six good receivers that
come in, right, there's always one that falls out. A
few years ago. You remember Terrace Marshall from LSU. Remember
he was with Justin Jefferson. He was with uh Jamar Chase,
like he was with Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Like he's the guy that's kind of been left. Justin
Jefferson's doing his thing. Jamar Chase is doing this every.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Year there's one of those receivers that are in that
group that kind of fall out and fall back, and
we we want to see Michi for for the Texas.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
He did have the injury, but we just haven't seen
you get going yet.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
He's out of that Alabama class with Waddle and with
and with Williams, and before that it was Davonte Smith
that won a national championship and won the Heisman. I
I someone Neighbors doesn't have a quarterback with the Giants,
so Neighbors could be the odd man out. But Roma
Doonze got shut down against Michigan an NFL style corner
and Johnson completely took him out of the game. You're
(11:09):
gonna see that every Sunday, Homeboy. And you just only
saw that one night and you couldn't do nothing with it.
You're gonna see that for seventeen weeks. So that's like
I said, I got to see a playout and then
a quarterback once again. I see a lot of tape
on him that I just ah, man, those feet are
just kind of everywhere, and I don't want to call
it hero ball, but you missed the first open receiver.
That's why you're running around in scrambling now, and people
(11:30):
just don't want to point those things out.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I just put the tape on.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I love our listeners not afraid to challenge us when
they don't like something they hear.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Like Eric said to you, I'm confused, VJ.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
VJ just said there's only one franchise quarterback, but then
he argues for Tua, I think there's a minute.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh sorry, god, I think.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
There's like six or seven Herdsborough to Trevor Lawrence and
to name a few. Everyone has to remember that only
one team wins the championship in every sport. What did
you think about it?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
No, no problem.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
I don't mind the tweet at all. He's just not listening,
I said. Steve Hartman told me yesterday, and I know
I just I said. I just stuck with me because
I saw where he was coming. See I like different opinions.
That was something I never heard, and it did make
me think, Wow, he's kind of got a point. I
didn't say whether I agree with it or not, but
(12:23):
I asked you what hurts you name me?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I said, is he is?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
He?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You have to pause?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And you said, I think so.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
If you say that, then that means Hartman has a
point is the point that I'm making. I just think
that if you feel like you have your guy, pay
him early then rather later, it will cost you less
money and you may be able to keep another player
or two years down the line. That's an integral part
of you trying to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, which I agree,
(12:51):
only one team wins, and it's hard as hell to win.
It's the hardest thing to do is to go through
the training, go through the precs, go through the camps,
go through the practices, go through the games, go through
the injuries, go through the media, go through the social media,
go through all the bs and then at the end
of the day. That's why they cry. That's why grown
men cry bro holding that trophy because you know what
(13:12):
it took. I agree with him, but he just he
didn't listen very well.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That's all. That's all I gotta say about that.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Better and the Better Half says, I love rdy to
remind Chris Plank next week of the Australia plus twenty
one and a half points. Yeah, I picked yesterday. I
said take Australia plus the points. I said, I wouldn't
be surprised if they that you won the game. I'm
calling an upset. They got it to within four.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
That was stealing.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Taking twenty one and a half. You knew that the
United States wasn't going to run it up and that
Australia was going to keep it within twenty points there, VJ.
That's like stealing, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I mean the points pray was pretty big.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
But I mean Vegas has got to put something and
they got to make some money off some food somewhere
during the year, and right now, this is the week.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
This is listen, summer leagues in Vegas. Right the Olympic
team was just there.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
They got to make up the money somewhere that they
you know that they're not getting from football, and there's
no baseball right now because the All Star breaks up,
So I mean they gotta make it up somewhere.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So they got some fools, so.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Bian So yeah, the USA is gonna blow him out. Nope,
go ahead and give me that money, thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Hell Jay says, Yes, Lebron got Briddy in the NBA.
I don't blame him, I blame the Lakers. LA's dysfunctional.
All they can do is play for the play and
Lebron will never win another ring with the Lakers. With
the LA Lakers are built for show, not winning. Lebron
needs to go. Bus needs to sell. What do you
think about that?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Fifty to fifty on that bus doesn't need to sell.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
But I was on the yadd couple two years ago
after Lebron went to All Star Weekend and praised other gms,
remember that, calling Sam Presty the the MVP of GMS.
And when they got back home, Rich Paul had to
go do damage control because Geannie was pretty pissed about that,
and because he was just openly throwing you know, ropalink
(14:48):
under the bus. I got on the odd couple said
trade him, now, trade Lebron.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
What know you get?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Joe Montana got traded, Wayne Gretzky got traded shit, Chill
O'Neill got traded.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Trade hit.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Now you got the bubble ring, you got the COVID ring.
You're not winning no more with this guy. Save your franchise.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Now.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Oh, three years later, there's sixty million a year in
now with the game, and they had to draft his son.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Are they not one person away from picking up somebody
and then making run at this thing?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
No?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
No, their first round team again next year, they be
lucky to win forty two games this upcoming season. The
tape once again, I go by tape man. We could
get blinded a lot by the misuse. Just gonna be
a free agent. Put the tape on.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Lebron doesn't play full games. He just doesn't.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Okay, And here's a great stat I love last year,
seventy four or seventy six games Lebron seventy one a d.
You're telling me that's happening again. You're telling me that happens. Okay,
Season over, Yeah, season over, reverie get the Trump is played,
the reverie.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
It's over. Good night.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
I'm just that serious, Like I'm sorry, taps, Revelee's in
the morning, Taps play taps.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
It's over. Like they're they're forty two.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Maybe they won forty six games last year, guys, and
those guys played a lot, and they won forty six games,
forty six, forty seven games. They couldn't even get the fifty. No,
they're not bettering. The West is loaded. The West is
just so loaded. And they should have broke. They should have.
They should have started to rebuild when he got back.
They should say, you know what, Lebron but bus doesn't
need the whole sale your team. Yeah, you sell your billionaire,
(16:16):
your billion franchise. Shut up, sell the team. I'm not
selling nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Uh, Jason B.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Diamonds has, according to Monsei, is a fun a fun segment.
That's why she is the best.
Speaker 7 (16:28):

Lartie posts his pickleball matches and all the delicious.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Pickleball until I know you introduced me to it years ago.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Arnie was trying to sell me Ryan. Arnie was trying
to sell me on starting to pick a ball team
with the radio say, he kept tech VJ. I'm telling
you get into it's a great where, I said Arnie. Listen, bro,
I'm not gonna do it. Okay, I'm not gonna start
playing pickleball, and I'm damn sure not about to go
to the station trying to get all these guys to
play pickleball. It's hard enough to get everybody round the golf. No, No,
(17:20):
it's popular. It's but I call it. I call it
life sized ping pong. It is, and I'm not knocking
anybody that it is crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Though popular, it's crazy. Ryan, you ever played racquetball? No,
that's a word.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Now, you know, and you know why most people don't
go play for five minutes and then come out and
tell me how your lungs feel. That series, b y,
it's not I talk trash. The first time a guy
wanted to play and he's like, you, bro, you won't
go for a round.

Speaker 7 (17:49):

We've all been through some sort.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Of adversity to get to the top.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
We've all used different tools. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay
Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
All right, good evening, everybody. We're coming to you live
from the Tirech dot Com studios. VJ Husky, Arnie Spaniard
in for the guys, Jason Smith that has best fed
Mike Harmon here on five Sports Radio. Remember, according to
Monzie coming up at the end of the hour, we
just got the questions. My questions so much better, so
much better than the one my setting me.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
So I may go off the board with my own question.
I don't do that real quick. I want to make
a correction. I love I people that listen to me. No,
I don't mind being wrong. I'm not part of that
uh that crowd in this business. Clint Belcher just tweeted us,
I made a mistake. I speak fast. I got a
lot of information trying to get a lot of John
Michi had cancer. He didn't get hurt. It was Williams
(20:21):
that have that. Uh yeah, that had gotten hurt. Michi
did have cancer, and fair he goes, not fair to
judge him until he's fully healthy. His teammate says, though
he looks different this year day that is Michi is
gonna be a big part if Houston can to duplicate
what their delash.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
So I just wanted to make sure I got that correction.
All right, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I will ask both questions, by the way, and then
Monzy can answer, go off on either one.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Though I know, I know no, I wanted to answer
my question. I wanted to answer Mike, I like the
one that you got. Man, just go with the just
come on, be a team player, stay with the family.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Why why are you trying to go have see what
they eat table? We got we got food here. What questions? Well,
they're not questions, they are statements.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
But my one question is better than your statement.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Let me tell you how much I don't care.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Oh yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
You know what I'm gonna I'll give you a chance
to answer you the one. Mine's a pretty good one.
Month that's great here for yourself.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
We could we could do that to start the next hour.
That's not according to Mansi. It sounds like according to Arnie, Wow,
ask a question, right, Maybe I'll ask you next hour.
That there you go, Maybe I'll ask you next hour.
All right? Uh Vja.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I do want to ask you this because you're the
gamer of the bunch, right, you're you're in the video game. Yes,
I play games chelf and today was the big release. Yeah,
the EA Sports twenty five. I want to know, first
of all, from any of our listeners out there, did
you order it? I guess I'm old because I thought
you have to go to the store and buy it.
I don't know you could order it on your TV
(21:55):
and yeah, it comes across on your screen and I
p people were going crazy over this. I set you
a video where they put it up on the big
screen in the Vegas Sports Book.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yes, and the crowd acted like it was the game
winning touchdown in.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
The Super Bowl. They were going ballistic. I give me
your thoughts because I knew it was coming out today.
I knew people were excited by the way. It has
not been out in ten years, right, It's been exactly
a ten year draft? Is this must get for you
or you don't care.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Is this is where I was gonna go with that,
because it's been here's the thing, because the way they
took it away, and NCAA Football was better than Madden,
and Madden was the game everybody played because it was Madden,
but nc double A was better. The running mechanism to
throwing mechanism, everything was better and different about the game.
The graphics all kind of familiar, you know, look familiar
(22:50):
to Madden. But then when people were able to download
the true attributes of the guys and get the names
under the player instead of just the number, that's when
seen scene and marketing and all that stuff got involved.
And then the players are like, hold on, whoh whoah, woah,
woah woah. Remember the old Bannon, the old Bannon case exactly,
remember exactly. So he's the guy that really started and
(23:13):
that was like a long time com Yeah. If you
can download my attributes now and you can download to
where my name is now under me, you owe me money.
E sports like I want my bread now and now
college here's the thing. Fast forward ten years from that
from all that jargon, this is how n AL got birthed.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
This is how NIL got birthed.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
And that's the only reason why they bought the game
back is because now the college just wanted a piece
that we're gonna use our logos. Well if the players
get paid and we want to get yeah exactly. It
was gonna be something insane. So they took the game
away just abruptly. It was like, oh no, no Ncuba football,
just like old on what is double a football comes
out the beginning of July year Like what are you
(23:53):
talking about? Like, no, no more Ncuba football. So I
think that's why you see the rush for as far
as the game go.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I was disappointed. I was disaport You haven't yeah, I
was disappointed. How did you get it? By the way,
did you ordered her?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Did you go buy it?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I got friends? Okay, yeah I got friends. Yeah I
got but I got friends. So it's not in your council,
you on your street.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
You don't have to do the console anymore. You could
go online and download games, you still have to pay
for them. Their subscription to different gaming uh gaming apps
and stuff like that where you pay a monthly subscription.
You have to pay to down the games, like Samsung
TV has it. I believe Sony TV has it also
to support.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
People were raving about it. What I've seen on Twitter though,
it's just the way. It's just the way. It's because
we hadn't had it for ten years.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
If you don't give somebody a rich cracker for two years,
and you give them a rich cracker, they're gonna sweat it.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That's the best cracker they've ever had.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
If someone didn't eat for three weeks, that next meal
is gonna be the best meals they've had.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
You know what I'm saying, Like, if.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
You taken cua a football from us for two years,
take away fee for take away Madden, and to see
how people at take away take yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Take away pongs, yeah right, take away some.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Of these takeaway call of duty, take take away call
of Duty for five years, and see how people act
if they bring a new call I do that. We're
getting this with Grand Theft Ato six. Grand Thought Fedal
five is almost eight years ago from No State, eight
or nine years ago, and Grand Theft Follo is a
game that's been out since Nintendo, so it's.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Involved with every was very realistic and know it is.
It's open world play.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
You can walk down in the alley, you can open
any door, you can drive any car you can.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
You can to college football.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Oh it's they got a lot of additions to it,
as far as hois and mode days. In that nature,
I like my player where you create yourself and you
create your player and he's got to work his way
through high school and get recruited and then oh yeah,
there's a my player. I play my player on anything,
if I play two game, if I play FIFA, Like,
when I play FIFA, my got VJ Kicks. That's my
dude out there for Chelsea at right wing. Like I
created that guy and then worked them up through the
(25:50):
training system and then got him on the Chelsea And
then when I play as Chelsea, my guy VJ. Kicks
is out there. Same thing with football and basketball. But
I was disappointed the game place kind of still the same.
They've added a little few things, But I would have thought,
after ten years, this should have been the best football
game I've ever played, and it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Wow, You've disappointed, very disappointed by the way you play
in your computer. You still gotta go ahead and you
don't just pick the plays and let it go out.
You still have to like maneuver and stuff. No, there's
no floppy disc either, Arnie, No, no, no. But like
a joystick though, like you need a joint. Yeah, of
course you need a control. No, first of all, wow,
eighty eight joystick. No one's got a damn joystick. It's
(26:34):
a controller. Or if you're from the urban or you're
from the Paul Kocher area, we call it the sticks.
We call it the stick light past it like who's
on the like who got next on the sticks? Or
like when you lose, everybody in the rooms says, yeah, man,
past the sticks you lost, so you gotta pass.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Yeah. We don't say, hey, guy, give up the controller
you lost. It's past the sticks. Yeah, we call the
no one's got a drive.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
College football, we're really about what four or five weeks
away with week number one. There's no more week zero
out there. I'm not gonna get into whether we always
have crappy games a week number what was we always do?
There's maybe three or four matchups and people are like,
well what about this?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
What about that?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
And they're like, okay, there's eighty games, and you're giving
me three or four good matchups.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That's beside the point. Which teams are you really intrigued
to follow this year.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Because they went to a new conference, ones that you're
gonna be and the first one right off to my bat,
it's not even USC or Texas Oklahoma. I want to
see what UCLA does in the Big Ten because I
get a field that's gonna be a miserable year for them,
and they're just gonna go through some really hard times.
They struggled the last year in the back twelve. I
don't think it's gonna be welcoming in the Big Ten.
(27:44):
I can't wait till they play some of those you know,
big tough Big ten teams out there, especially on the road.
I think it's gonna be one tough going for them
as they entered the Big ten.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
VJ. I really do, yeah, it will be.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
I'm trying to figure out why that's even a surprise
for you, why that would even be on your radar.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Texas for me, man, Texas for me. Let me tell
you something.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I go today, just today, I rewatched the Texas Washington game.
All right, as I'm doing my notes on my book,
getting ready for college football. They should have won the
football game. They got dudes up front, bro on both
sides of the football.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
They move people.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
You should always watch out for teams with the third
year quarterback, fourth year quarterback. That's what they have in Quinn.
We know about the history of him going to Ohio State,
was promised a million, took their bread, broke out, went
back home because he was all missed to everything in
the state of Texas, and he's there with Texas right now.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The schedule, I like, if they.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Can get past my Wolverines in week two, September seventh,
if they get out of that game University of Texas,
San Antonio, UL Monroe, Mississippi State, the Oklahoma game, the
Red River Shootout, and then we have that Georgia game
that's the lynch Pin Game October nineteenth, but it's in Austin.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
That's their break right there.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
They get the Gators, they get vanderbe they got to
go to Arkansas, get Kentucky, and they finish up with
the n State robbery with Texas, A and M. I
think they're a repeat team to the Final four. I
know there's twelve teams going in this year, but I
don't care about the twelve. I'm looking at the top
four or five teams because those are the teams that's
probably gonna win the national championship. I'm telling people right now,
(29:18):
if they can slide by, if they if they can
get through Michigan in Ann Arbor and Michigan will be high.
They have a lot of talent return, especially on defense,
number one ranked defensive line according to Bleacher reporters about
every publication Athlon sports going in, it's either them Ohio State.
I think they can run the table. But that Georgia
game Man October nineteenth, those Bulldogs. You don't think that
(29:41):
they're pissed. You don't think that they got kicked got
knocked out from number one out of the top four,
simply because we wanted to play. Kate and Nick say
because we kind of felt like he was coming down
to stretch, kind of like what they did back in
ninety seven with Tom Osborne and Nebraska and Michigan and
Lo kind of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
But there was no playoff there.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
But they hadn't split the national championship because the AP
gave it to Michigan undefeated beating Washington State Ryan Leaf
and then Nebraska beat Peyton Manning in Tennessee and they
won the coach's poll.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
So I I really look at Georgia, you think they're
not mad? One loss in what their last twenty something games? Obelieve?
Speaker 7 (30:21):
I think two in their last two yeah, two in
the last yeah. The win all the way two three
seasons ago and then last year's lost. But then went
into that bowl game. We know Florida State didn't have
their quarterback and had some guys you know, you know
opt out, but they went in there and obliterated in
their bowl game Texas as a team. I'm telling people,
watch this thing. Sart got a second chance. Man.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Sorry, it's funny. You look at the good teams, I
look at the bad. What U s secret to do?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They lost a lot of weapons, they lose Caleb Williams
and listen to this. They got LSU Michigan. Wisconsin at
Michigan is the game of ann Arbor in three of
their first four games.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Hello, welcome to the Big Dead. It might be some
growing pains for USC this year. VJ.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
I didn't believe in USC the last couple of years,
so that's not once again, that's not gonna surprise me
this year Lincoln Riley's kind of like a just a
wiz kid guy that could get the offense done, doesn't
really pay a lot of attention to the defense, and
that's always been their achilles. They were getting blown off
the field and they just got beat up by Utah
and back to back years where Utah pretty much football style,
just punched them in the mouth open and over and
(31:24):
over and over and over again and beat them down,
like physically beat them down.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
You physically get beaten football. That takes manhood away from you.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Man.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
It's different if guys are just faster titball that six '
five receiver catches a fade pattern. But when you get
smacked in the mouth sixty downs, it really wears on you.
You can see that as the game went on. And
then once again, Kaylyn Williams had four bad tapes. It
wasn't just him. They had four bad games last year,
so that doesn't surprise me. The question of mark team
(31:53):
I have is Florida State. Florida State coming off in
an undefeated season. Remember they have a transfer quarterback by
the name of DJ that was at Oregon State right
after being at Clemson, was gonna be the next everything.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
After one lord everything right.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
I called his high school yeah, oh Youngela. I called
his high school games for John Bosco. I called two
of his state championship games back to back years against
head to head against Bryce Young. So I've been seeing
this kid for a while. If he's got his footwork together,
watch out for Florida State. If he still just thinks
he can win on just being six five and two
(32:29):
forty and just having a big strong arm, look for
Florida State to take a step back, and then that
would question who could be the come up team in
the ACC. Could it be North Carolina? Could it be Clemson?
That's the question mark I have for them right there.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
All right, so we got more football coming up, but
first coming up next, according to Monseie, that's next right
here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
All Right, recovering to you Alive from the tyreq dot
Com Studios. VJ Husky Arnie Spaniard for Jason Smith and
his best fread Mike Carmen Right here on Fox Sports
radio without further ado.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
It is time for according to Monsei, and now.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
It's time for absolutely according to Monsei.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
All right, we start things off, Moncy.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yes, I was waiting a long time for this segment
because they've been explaining it to me.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
So I'll start things off, Chancy.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Yes, soccer is the biggest sport in the world, Moncey.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Yes it is, and I know here in the US
we don't think it's a big deal, but honestly, it
is the biggest sport in the world. The most passionate
sport fans were sneaking into the Copa America final through air.
Vince the president of Columbia Football Federation, is somewhere arrested.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
They seen three felony.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Charges for fighting security. These fans are passionate. I don't
think NBA, baseball, hockey, even NFL fans are this passionate.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Maybe college football fans, but.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
That's a small portion of the US and comparison to
the fans around the world, and fans aren't the only
passionate ones. No, have you ever noticed that in a
soccer game when they play the national anthem, they're all
singing literally unless there's no words they are all singing.
Half of them are in tears. Literally every single soccer game.
I'm telling you, it is the sport of the earth.
All of these other sports also keep changing the rules
(34:32):
to make scoring more of a thing, to keep fans engaged.
Basketball has changed the way you can play defense. Baseball
removed the sticky stuff, sped up the game. You can
even argue that maybe they changed the balls. The NFL
recently changed kickoff rules. They're expecting it's going to create
more scoring. Soccer does not care about that, or else
they would have already removed off sides.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
They don't need to do that.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
The fans aren't going anywhere. They don't care that at
zero zero in the seventieth minute, they are there screaming
their butts off. They are commit, they are passionate, and
it even brings couples back together. Shawn Mendes and Camila
Cabeo were at this game, y'all when they broke up
in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I was offended by their breakup. Then they were spotted at.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
Taylor Swift's concert making out, but apparently they weren't together.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Now we see them again at Go up a Medica.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
I mean soccer.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
It's it's the real deal.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Guys, it's the real deal.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Let's get that's great. I remember nobody, no one cares
about it.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Of course nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yeah, enjoy Patrick.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
Mahomes because he's going to be done sooner rather than later.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yes, let me tell you what I think here.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
A few weeks ago, remember we heard mahomes mother say
that Patrick may not play as long as Brady if
it interfered with his kids and family. Well, Britney Mahomes
and Patrick are now pregnant with their third child. I
think if Mahomes and the Chiefs get their three p
and make history, Mahomes maybe closer to the end. All
I hear from parents, VJ. You tell me is that
(36:00):
the best part are those childhood baby years that they
go by so fast. Tell me Patrick Mahomes does not
look like the type that wants to coach his kids.
Tell me he doesn't. He looks like he wants to
be there. Now that Britney Mahomes is pregnant with that
third kid, I really do think there is a chance
that Mahomes calls it quits earlier rather than later. I mean,
(36:20):
if he gets the three pete that's history. I don't
think he cares to chase Brady seven because he lost
to Brady. So I feel like in his head, he's
gonna be like, even if I get the seven, people.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Are gonna be like, but lo, you lost to Brady.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
And then if Angie Reid retires, if Travis Kelce retires,
all of that, I say that Patrick Mahomes might be
closer to the end than we think.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
According to Monsey.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
According to Monci, parking in an Ada spot when you
should not does not make you cool.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
It makes you a straight up douchebag, y'all. Today I cannot.
I cannot.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Today.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
I went to Starbucks and there were spots everywhere everywhere,
and this guy parks in an eighty A spot because
he's too lazy to walk what extra ton steps? He
didn't need to park there, And I wanted to be like,
do you think you're.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
Cool because you.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
Just became the biggest douche I've ever seen? Just because
you can doesn't mean you should. I swear, it's not cute.
It makes me like, just wonder why people think that
that's okay to do. There was tons of spots guys,
and he just parked right in front of Starbucks in
an eighty A spot, Like, how is how annoying is that?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Don't be that douche. Guys. I hate the guys that
park and compact sparks with the s UV. Well, that's
they're idiots. Your car, that's your fault.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
And I also hate when there are no spots and
you think just because you put your hazard lights on,
you can park wherever you want.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
But today, literally, this guy, I just wanted to say
something to him. I wanted to be like, you know,
there's a spot right next to you that's not eighty a,
it's an extra three spots. That's all I got. Too, crazy, douche,
Here you go.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
You the dumb look, the dumb look. Back back east,
we got something called a dumb look. You don't want
to say nothing because it might, but you just give
them the dumb You just give them the dumb.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Look, like no, yeah, I got it. It's just say
one word. That's the dumb look. You gotta get the
dumb look.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Let's I'm gonna let's let's pull back the curtain here,
all right, VJ. I'm sure you've heard according to Manzi
on the Weekends before. Absolutely, it is a segment in
which Mancy has three different takes. She tells us ahead
of time, like what these takes are going to be?

Questions that this is the entire premise of the segment.
All it is is that Mancy has three takes and

Speaker 3 (01:55):
It and I tell you what to say, and.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Wownie Arnie had me call him earlier to explain this
segment to you to him, and I did, and.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I still don't understand them.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Call me two hours later and it was like, so,
what is according to Manzi, and I said, it's the thing.
I already explained that I've.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Already the thing that I've already sent you.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
All it is is gonna give a take.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
But I but I got questions I want to ask too.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I got so you can do that. You can do
that outside of according to Manci.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You know, I don't know. I want to ask for
a courting to Manci. Just make sure I get the
questions because I haven't received them yet. I haven't sent it.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
It's not a question, it's just a statement that you're
going to say that you've done this done.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's it's been a while. Remember it's been a while.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
My statement is going to be one that you haven't
heard of.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And I'm gonna throw you for a loop and you're
gonna have to come up with an answer on the
spur of the moment.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, then guess perfect perfect that they broke us up.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Our vibe was too strong when we first met and
we just, I mean radio wise, we clicked. Someone saw
that was like, nah, we know that DJ and Manzi.
Hell no, there's too much chemistry, too much swag.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Too much show was with me? Was it not?
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Or what? When you you know what my very worst Yeah,
it was. It was with Arnie Spa.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Remember the boss calling me up.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
They go, we just want you to know you're gonna
be breaking in a new guy. And you know, you know,
we know that you're pretty funny, but for the first time,
you might.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Not be the funniest guy on this show. Like, okay,
see who you got coming out in?
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Uh, Charnie, real quick, I want to read this tweet
from Superstar that because this guy's blowing us up and
he's like he's.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Waiting for me to read this because I don't see
have to tweet your see and I don't know why.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
I'm not sure why either, but check this out. So
it says, gotta disagree with that big Vanilla funny. Having
seven hundred predictions is the definition of low hanging fruit.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Lol.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
With that many predictions, you bound to hit somewhere along
the lines. Bro five to ten big time predictions would
be way more respectable.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Truth be chose.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
So let me explain. Well, no, let me let me
explain something. First of all, the way this whole Uncle
VJ prediction thing starting, Arnie, you had me on your
show last year on your son and I showed up
that you pick a number, and I read the number.
It started with the ESPN put out a hundred NFL
predictions last year, and Martin and both thought it would
be funny to read them to me because they know
how competitive I am. And they said, I guarantee you
(04:13):
Vj's gonna go home and write one hundred and one
of them because they read all the ones that go
against my football, like the Dolphins or two are players.
I like they purposely did that to me. So I
went home and I said, I'm not just gonna do
one hundred and one.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm gonna do one.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Hundred and seventeen because seventeen is my football number. But
the way I do it is I do every team predictions,
so that's thirty two. Then I write down Eddie every
category passing, rushing, interceptions, tackles, and then I predict what
guys gonna lead or what guy's gonna have a leap
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
That's how it gets to win eighteen.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
So actually, Superstar that what I'm doing dog is not
low hagin fruit because I'm just not throwing out random things.
I am predicting guys that can lead categories. Coaches that
will be fired. How many quarterbacks a team's gonna end
up playing? Which all I hit on last year hit
on Josh McDaniels. I said the Jets would play three
quarterbacks last year. How many quarterbacks did they just play?
(05:07):
They actually played four. So I those are the type
of predictions that I'm putting out because already you put
some bad you put some bad juice on.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
No.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
You got people thinking I'm just this you don't like. No,
this is thought. Trust me. I listen, superstar dad, you
want to challenge me, how about you write one hundred
down and then sent them and then we'll re yours.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Nobby also asked you this because this was said to
me before yesterday's show, So maybe you'd be good to
ask this. First of all, we love football absolutely all
a door football.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
We all love it.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I could I could talk Arizona football, I could talk
NFL college football all day long. Chris Plank, of course,
does the Oklahoma sideline reporting. He loves his college football.
So my question is this. Somebody said, is this a
tough time for you because there's no sports going on?
Is this the worst week? That's why everybody's taking vacation
and you guys filling a lot. Actually enjoyed this week.
(05:59):
I enjoyed talking other things than sports, kind of going
outside that box like Montsi was talking about the boucher
and and other sports that we really don't get a
chance to talk a lot about. Kind of get outside
her comfort zone. It's only for a week, and I
enjoy it, to be honest with you. For me, it's
more off the air. This week allows me to prep.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Like I went to the store the other night and
brought like nine composition books because I have books for
you know, college football, all my predictions, teams to look
out for things that I write a lot. You and
I and Arnie we're still a last breed in this
business that we write a lot down. I don't type,
and I don't use the internet. Car just going to
a screen. Anybody could click on the website and read
on live air. Anybody can do that. Did you put
(06:41):
the prep in so a week like this? These next
two weeks, actually this is prep time for me. You know,
the camp the rookies are showing up. This is when
the juices start really flowing as far as to having fun.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Thing.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
That's going back to the way the business you know,
is that they we're talking about debate shows and stuff earlier.
That's how I like to do sports all the time.
It was like cod, I don't mind talking something fun.
I don't mind talking about the best burger you had
at the stadium somewhere, or you know, you can always
throw those little things into I think Dan Patrick does
a great job at it. That's why I listen to
(07:14):
Cavino Rich because it's not your normal uh sports talk.
Like I said, anybody can get on air, and we're
not are like where the Todd Wright used to say,
We're not a sports show. We just talk about what
sports fans talk about.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
I mean, look, Rob Rob Parker ight talks about wings
and Golden Girls, and it becomes his thing. Like when
you go Fox Sports Radio Golden Girls, who's the first
person to pops It's gonna be Rob Parker. But it's
got nothing to do with sports, but it's fun. It's
become part of his personality, has become part of his brand.
And that's that's I like to be that way all
the year instead of just when there's nothing to talk about,
(07:50):
you know, so there's always notugh to talk about.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Eric says like your boss of a Vikings fan that said,
I've got to take it on green Bay winning the
Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
VJ.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Don't forget the Packers. Let Jones go in favor of
Josh Jacobs. That's one of my overrated teams. I'm in
the minority on this. I don't know that Jordan Love
is the next best thing since slice spread. I want
to see what numbers he's gonna put up. It's a
tough division. The Bears are gonna be better with Caleb Williams.
I just I'm not buying into the whole Green Bay hype,
(08:23):
and I'm certainly not buying them into winning a super.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Bowl, though they did have a good playoff victory against Dallas.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Nah. I like Green Bay. I like Green Bay a lot.
And here's my thing about Jordan Love. It's the same
thing with any of these young quarterbacks. If you believe
he's the guy, then don't talk about him. Might not
bean the guy. Go with the positive affirmation that's normally
gonna work out better for you in life period. As
they say, as a man and woman shall speak, so
shall their life go. So just say he's the guy,
(08:51):
this is who you're riding listen, you don't have nobody else.
Who else are you gonna put it? He's the guy
once again. The Josh Jacobs move right on the tweet there.
But I just like Dylan dilar Rut's Josh Jacobs. I
think might have got some tread warn off those tires
down in Vegas and running for the Raiders. So I
think they're gonna be a two back system there. The
lynchpins to this team is the receiving corps. Watson missed
(09:12):
a lot of time last year and he was supposed
to be the next young good receiver in the NFL.
They got some other kids there too, but that's gonna
be where their money is gonna be made. Can these
guys stay healthy and can they catch the ball all
the time when they're supposed to and help their quarterback out?
They'll run the football. I like the defense there. I
think the defensive bruiser gets better than it was last year.
(09:33):
The Bears just there's too much on tape about about
Caleb Williams that I just don't like, and it's it's
just the tape. I'm not going off the fingernails. I'm
not going off the swag. I'm not going off. None
of that, don't I don't talk about that stuff. That
doesn't matter to me. But when you put the tape on,
there's four bad tape games last year, four, not one,
not two, not three. There's four bad tape games against
(09:55):
other NFL type players that were in college last year.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You can't ignore that.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Just because you get him Roma Doonza and just because
you get him Keenan Allen and you get him so okay,
but he still has By the way, they're great weapons.
But when you hit the back foot, you gotta read it,
see it, let it go. It's what my quarterback tell me.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I think he's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
I remember now with Roma dud they remember in this
receiver cord. Every year there's what the last five or
six years, there's like five or six good receivers that
come in, right, there's always one that falls out. A
few years ago. You remember Terrace Marshall from LSU. Remember
he was with Justin Jefferson. He was with uh Jamar Chase,
like he was with Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Like he's the guy that's kind of been left. Justin
Jefferson's doing his thing. Jamar Chase is doing this every.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Year there's one of those receivers that are in that
group that kind of fall out and fall back, and
we we want to see Michi for for the Texas.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
He did have the injury, but we just haven't seen
you get going yet.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
He's out of that Alabama class with Waddle and with
and with Williams, and before that it was Davonte Smith
that won a national championship and won the Heisman. I
I someone Neighbors doesn't have a quarterback with the Giants,
so Neighbors could be the odd man out. But Roma
Doonze got shut down against Michigan an NFL style corner
and Johnson completely took him out of the game. You're
(11:09):
gonna see that every Sunday, Homeboy. And you just only
saw that one night and you couldn't do nothing with it.
You're gonna see that for seventeen weeks. So that's like
I said, I got to see a playout and then
a quarterback once again. I see a lot of tape
on him that I just ah, man, those feet are
just kind of everywhere, and I don't want to call
it hero ball, but you missed the first open receiver.
That's why you're running around in scrambling now, and people
(11:30):
just don't want to point those things out.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I just put the tape on.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I love our listeners not afraid to challenge us when
they don't like something they hear.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Like Eric said to you, I'm confused, VJ.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
VJ just said there's only one franchise quarterback, but then
he argues for Tua, I think there's a minute.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh sorry, god, I think.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
There's like six or seven Herdsborough to Trevor Lawrence and
to name a few. Everyone has to remember that only
one team wins the championship in every sport. What did
you think about it?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
No, no problem.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
I don't mind the tweet at all. He's just not listening,
I said. Steve Hartman told me yesterday, and I know
I just I said. I just stuck with me because
I saw where he was coming. See I like different opinions.
That was something I never heard, and it did make
me think, Wow, he's kind of got a point. I
didn't say whether I agree with it or not, but
(12:23):
I asked you what hurts you name me?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I said, is he is?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
He?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You have to pause?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And you said, I think so.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
If you say that, then that means Hartman has a
point is the point that I'm making. I just think
that if you feel like you have your guy, pay
him early then rather later, it will cost you less
money and you may be able to keep another player
or two years down the line. That's an integral part
of you trying to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, which I agree,
(12:51):
only one team wins, and it's hard as hell to win.
It's the hardest thing to do is to go through
the training, go through the precs, go through the camps,
go through the practices, go through the games, go through
the injuries, go through the media, go through the social media,
go through all the bs and then at the end
of the day. That's why they cry. That's why grown
men cry bro holding that trophy because you know what
(13:12):
it took. I agree with him, but he just he
didn't listen very well.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That's all. That's all I gotta say about that.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Better and the Better Half says, I love rdy to
remind Chris Plank next week of the Australia plus twenty
one and a half points. Yeah, I picked yesterday. I
said take Australia plus the points. I said, I wouldn't
be surprised if they that you won the game. I'm
calling an upset. They got it to within four.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
That was stealing.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Taking twenty one and a half. You knew that the
United States wasn't going to run it up and that
Australia was going to keep it within twenty points there, VJ.
That's like stealing, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I mean the points pray was pretty big.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
But I mean Vegas has got to put something and
they got to make some money off some food somewhere
during the year, and right now, this is the week.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
This is listen, summer leagues in Vegas. Right the Olympic
team was just there.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
They got to make up the money somewhere that they
you know that they're not getting from football, and there's
no baseball right now because the All Star breaks up,
So I mean they gotta make it up somewhere.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So they got some fools, so.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Bian So yeah, the USA is gonna blow him out. Nope,
go ahead and give me that money, thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Hell Jay says, Yes, Lebron got Briddy in the NBA.
I don't blame him, I blame the Lakers. LA's dysfunctional.
All they can do is play for the play and
Lebron will never win another ring with the Lakers. With
the LA Lakers are built for show, not winning. Lebron
needs to go. Bus needs to sell. What do you
think about that?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Fifty to fifty on that bus doesn't need to sell.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
But I was on the yadd couple two years ago
after Lebron went to All Star Weekend and praised other gms,
remember that, calling Sam Presty the the MVP of GMS.
And when they got back home, Rich Paul had to
go do damage control because Geannie was pretty pissed about that,
and because he was just openly throwing you know, ropalink
(14:48):
under the bus. I got on the odd couple said
trade him, now, trade Lebron.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
What know you get?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Joe Montana got traded, Wayne Gretzky got traded shit, Chill
O'Neill got traded.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Trade hit.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Now you got the bubble ring, you got the COVID ring.
You're not winning no more with this guy. Save your franchise.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Now.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Oh, three years later, there's sixty million a year in
now with the game, and they had to draft his son.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Are they not one person away from picking up somebody
and then making run at this thing?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
No?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
No, their first round team again next year, they be
lucky to win forty two games this upcoming season. The
tape once again, I go by tape man. We could
get blinded a lot by the misuse. Just gonna be
a free agent. Put the tape on.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Lebron doesn't play full games. He just doesn't.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Okay, And here's a great stat I love last year,
seventy four or seventy six games Lebron seventy one a d.
You're telling me that's happening again. You're telling me that happens. Okay,
Season over, Yeah, season over, reverie get the Trump is played,
the reverie.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
It's over. Good night.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
I'm just that serious, Like I'm sorry, taps, Revelee's in
the morning, Taps play taps.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
It's over. Like they're they're forty two.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Maybe they won forty six games last year, guys, and
those guys played a lot, and they won forty six games,
forty six, forty seven games. They couldn't even get the fifty. No,
they're not bettering. The West is loaded. The West is
just so loaded. And they should have broke. They should have.
They should have started to rebuild when he got back.
They should say, you know what, Lebron but bus doesn't
need the whole sale your team. Yeah, you sell your billionaire,
(16:16):
your billion franchise. Shut up, sell the team. I'm not
selling nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Uh, Jason B.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Diamonds has, according to Monsei, is a fun a fun segment.
That's why she is the best.
Speaker 7 (16:28):

Pickleball until I know you introduced me to it years ago.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Arnie was trying to sell me Ryan. Arnie was trying
to sell me on starting to pick a ball team
with the radio say, he kept tech VJ. I'm telling
you get into it's a great where, I said Arnie. Listen, bro,
I'm not gonna do it. Okay, I'm not gonna start
playing pickleball, and I'm damn sure not about to go
to the station trying to get all these guys to
play pickleball. It's hard enough to get everybody round the golf. No, No,
(17:20):
it's popular. It's but I call it. I call it
life sized ping pong. It is, and I'm not knocking
anybody that it is crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Though popular, it's crazy. Ryan, you ever played racquetball? No,
that's a word.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Now, you know, and you know why most people don't
go play for five minutes and then come out and
tell me how your lungs feel. That series, b y,
it's not I talk trash. The first time a guy
wanted to play and he's like, you, bro, you won't
go for a round.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I was like, you can hold a beard played pickleball, bro, racketball.
Speaker 7 (17:49):

Monzie coming up at the end of the hour, we
just got the questions. My questions so much better, so
much better than the one my setting me.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
So I may go off the board with my own question.
I don't do that real quick. I want to make
a correction. I love I people that listen to me. No,
I don't mind being wrong. I'm not part of that
uh that crowd in this business. Clint Belcher just tweeted us,
I made a mistake. I speak fast. I got a
lot of information trying to get a lot of John
Michi had cancer. He didn't get hurt. It was Williams
(20:21):
that have that. Uh yeah, that had gotten hurt. Michi
did have cancer, and fair he goes, not fair to
judge him until he's fully healthy. His teammate says, though
he looks different this year day that is Michi is
gonna be a big part if Houston can to duplicate
what their delash.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
So I just wanted to make sure I got that correction.
All right, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I will ask both questions, by the way, and then
Monzy can answer, go off on either one.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Though I know, I know no, I wanted to answer
my question. I wanted to answer Mike, I like the
one that you got. Man, just go with the just
come on, be a team player, stay with the family.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Why why are you trying to go have see what
they eat table? We got we got food here. What questions? Well,
they're not questions, they are statements.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
But my one question is better than your statement.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Let me tell you how much I don't care.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Oh yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
You know what I'm gonna I'll give you a chance
to answer you the one. Mine's a pretty good one.
Month that's great here for yourself.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
We could we could do that to start the next hour.
That's not according to Mansi. It sounds like according to Arnie, Wow,
ask a question, right, Maybe I'll ask you next hour.
That there you go, Maybe I'll ask you next hour.
All right? Uh Vja.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I do want to ask you this because you're the
gamer of the bunch, right, you're you're in the video game. Yes,
I play games chelf and today was the big release. Yeah,
the EA Sports twenty five. I want to know, first
of all, from any of our listeners out there, did
you order it? I guess I'm old because I thought
you have to go to the store and buy it.
I don't know you could order it on your TV
(21:55):
and yeah, it comes across on your screen and I
p people were going crazy over this. I set you
a video where they put it up on the big
screen in the Vegas Sports Book.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yes, and the crowd acted like it was the game
winning touchdown in.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
The Super Bowl. They were going ballistic. I give me
your thoughts because I knew it was coming out today.
I knew people were excited by the way. It has
not been out in ten years, right, It's been exactly
a ten year draft? Is this must get for you
or you don't care.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Is this is where I was gonna go with that,
because it's been here's the thing, because the way they
took it away, and NCAA Football was better than Madden,
and Madden was the game everybody played because it was Madden,
but nc double A was better. The running mechanism to
throwing mechanism, everything was better and different about the game.
The graphics all kind of familiar, you know, look familiar
(22:50):
to Madden. But then when people were able to download
the true attributes of the guys and get the names
under the player instead of just the number, that's when
seen scene and marketing and all that stuff got involved.
And then the players are like, hold on, whoh whoah, woah,
woah woah. Remember the old Bannon, the old Bannon case exactly,
remember exactly. So he's the guy that really started and
(23:13):
that was like a long time com Yeah. If you
can download my attributes now and you can download to
where my name is now under me, you owe me money.
E sports like I want my bread now and now
college here's the thing. Fast forward ten years from that
from all that jargon, this is how n AL got birthed.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
This is how NIL got birthed.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
And that's the only reason why they bought the game
back is because now the college just wanted a piece
that we're gonna use our logos. Well if the players
get paid and we want to get yeah exactly. It
was gonna be something insane. So they took the game
away just abruptly. It was like, oh no, no Ncuba football,
just like old on what is double a football comes
out the beginning of July year Like what are you
(23:53):
talking about? Like, no, no more Ncuba football. So I
think that's why you see the rush for as far
as the game go.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I was disappointed. I was disaport You haven't yeah, I
was disappointed. How did you get it? By the way,
did you ordered her?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Did you go buy it?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I got friends? Okay, yeah I got friends. Yeah I
got but I got friends. So it's not in your council,
you on your street.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
You don't have to do the console anymore. You could
go online and download games, you still have to pay
for them. Their subscription to different gaming uh gaming apps
and stuff like that where you pay a monthly subscription.
You have to pay to down the games, like Samsung
TV has it. I believe Sony TV has it also
to support.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
People were raving about it. What I've seen on Twitter though,
it's just the way. It's just the way. It's because
we hadn't had it for ten years.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
If you don't give somebody a rich cracker for two years,
and you give them a rich cracker, they're gonna sweat it.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That's the best cracker they've ever had.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
If someone didn't eat for three weeks, that next meal
is gonna be the best meals they've had.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
You know what I'm saying, Like, if.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
You taken cua a football from us for two years,
take away fee for take away Madden, and to see
how people at take away take yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Take away pongs, yeah right, take away some.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Of these takeaway call of duty, take take away call
of Duty for five years, and see how people act
if they bring a new call I do that. We're
getting this with Grand Theft Ato six. Grand Thought Fedal
five is almost eight years ago from No State, eight
or nine years ago, and Grand Theft Follo is a
game that's been out since Nintendo, so it's.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Involved with every was very realistic and know it is.
It's open world play.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
You can walk down in the alley, you can open
any door, you can drive any car you can.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
You can to college football.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Oh it's they got a lot of additions to it,
as far as hois and mode days. In that nature,
I like my player where you create yourself and you
create your player and he's got to work his way
through high school and get recruited and then oh yeah,
there's a my player. I play my player on anything,
if I play two game, if I play FIFA, Like,
when I play FIFA, my got VJ Kicks. That's my
dude out there for Chelsea at right wing. Like I
created that guy and then worked them up through the
(25:50):
training system and then got him on the Chelsea And
then when I play as Chelsea, my guy VJ. Kicks
is out there. Same thing with football and basketball. But
I was disappointed the game place kind of still the same.
They've added a little few things, But I would have thought,
after ten years, this should have been the best football
game I've ever played, and it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Wow, You've disappointed, very disappointed by the way you play
in your computer. You still gotta go ahead and you
don't just pick the plays and let it go out.
You still have to like maneuver and stuff. No, there's
no floppy disc either, Arnie, No, no, no. But like
a joystick though, like you need a joint. Yeah, of
course you need a control. No, first of all, wow,
eighty eight joystick. No one's got a damn joystick. It's
(26:34):
a controller. Or if you're from the urban or you're
from the Paul Kocher area, we call it the sticks.
We call it the stick light past it like who's
on the like who got next on the sticks? Or
like when you lose, everybody in the rooms says, yeah, man,
past the sticks you lost, so you gotta pass.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Yeah. We don't say, hey, guy, give up the controller
you lost. It's past the sticks. Yeah, we call the
no one's got a drive.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
College football, we're really about what four or five weeks
away with week number one. There's no more week zero
out there. I'm not gonna get into whether we always
have crappy games a week number what was we always do?
There's maybe three or four matchups and people are like,
well what about this?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
What about that?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
And they're like, okay, there's eighty games, and you're giving
me three or four good matchups.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That's beside the point. Which teams are you really intrigued
to follow this year.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Because they went to a new conference, ones that you're
gonna be and the first one right off to my bat,
it's not even USC or Texas Oklahoma. I want to
see what UCLA does in the Big Ten because I
get a field that's gonna be a miserable year for them,
and they're just gonna go through some really hard times.
They struggled the last year in the back twelve. I
don't think it's gonna be welcoming in the Big Ten.
(27:44):
I can't wait till they play some of those you know,
big tough Big ten teams out there, especially on the road.
I think it's gonna be one tough going for them
as they entered the Big ten.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
VJ. I really do, yeah, it will be.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
I'm trying to figure out why that's even a surprise
for you, why that would even be on your radar.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Texas for me, man, Texas for me. Let me tell
you something.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I go today, just today, I rewatched the Texas Washington game.
All right, as I'm doing my notes on my book,
getting ready for college football. They should have won the
football game. They got dudes up front, bro on both
sides of the football.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
They move people.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
You should always watch out for teams with the third
year quarterback, fourth year quarterback. That's what they have in Quinn.
We know about the history of him going to Ohio State,
was promised a million, took their bread, broke out, went
back home because he was all missed to everything in
the state of Texas, and he's there with Texas right now.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The schedule, I like, if they.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Can get past my Wolverines in week two, September seventh,
if they get out of that game University of Texas,
San Antonio, UL Monroe, Mississippi State, the Oklahoma game, the
Red River Shootout, and then we have that Georgia game
that's the lynch Pin Game October nineteenth, but it's in Austin.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
That's their break right there.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
They get the Gators, they get vanderbe they got to
go to Arkansas, get Kentucky, and they finish up with
the n State robbery with Texas, A and M. I
think they're a repeat team to the Final four. I
know there's twelve teams going in this year, but I
don't care about the twelve. I'm looking at the top
four or five teams because those are the teams that's
probably gonna win the national championship. I'm telling people right now,
(29:18):
if they can slide by, if they if they can
get through Michigan in Ann Arbor and Michigan will be high.
They have a lot of talent return, especially on defense,
number one ranked defensive line according to Bleacher reporters about
every publication Athlon sports going in, it's either them Ohio State.
I think they can run the table. But that Georgia
game Man October nineteenth, those Bulldogs. You don't think that
(29:41):
they're pissed. You don't think that they got kicked got
knocked out from number one out of the top four,
simply because we wanted to play. Kate and Nick say
because we kind of felt like he was coming down
to stretch, kind of like what they did back in
ninety seven with Tom Osborne and Nebraska and Michigan and
Lo kind of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
But there was no playoff there.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
But they hadn't split the national championship because the AP
gave it to Michigan undefeated beating Washington State Ryan Leaf
and then Nebraska beat Peyton Manning in Tennessee and they
won the coach's poll.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
So I I really look at Georgia, you think they're
not mad? One loss in what their last twenty something games? Obelieve?
Speaker 7 (30:21):
I think two in their last two yeah, two in
the last yeah. The win all the way two three
seasons ago and then last year's lost. But then went
into that bowl game. We know Florida State didn't have
their quarterback and had some guys you know, you know
opt out, but they went in there and obliterated in
their bowl game Texas as a team. I'm telling people,
watch this thing. Sart got a second chance. Man.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Sorry, it's funny. You look at the good teams, I
look at the bad. What U s secret to do?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They lost a lot of weapons, they lose Caleb Williams
and listen to this. They got LSU Michigan. Wisconsin at
Michigan is the game of ann Arbor in three of
their first four games.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Hello, welcome to the Big Dead. It might be some
growing pains for USC this year. VJ.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
I didn't believe in USC the last couple of years,
so that's not once again, that's not gonna surprise me
this year Lincoln Riley's kind of like a just a
wiz kid guy that could get the offense done, doesn't
really pay a lot of attention to the defense, and
that's always been their achilles. They were getting blown off
the field and they just got beat up by Utah
and back to back years where Utah pretty much football style,
just punched them in the mouth open and over and
(31:24):
over and over and over again and beat them down,
like physically beat them down.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
You physically get beaten football. That takes manhood away from you.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Man.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
It's different if guys are just faster titball that six '
five receiver catches a fade pattern. But when you get
smacked in the mouth sixty downs, it really wears on you.
You can see that as the game went on. And
then once again, Kaylyn Williams had four bad tapes. It
wasn't just him. They had four bad games last year,
so that doesn't surprise me. The question of mark team
(31:53):
I have is Florida State. Florida State coming off in
an undefeated season. Remember they have a transfer quarterback by
the name of DJ that was at Oregon State right
after being at Clemson, was gonna be the next everything.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
After one lord everything right.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
I called his high school yeah, oh Youngela. I called
his high school games for John Bosco. I called two
of his state championship games back to back years against
head to head against Bryce Young. So I've been seeing
this kid for a while. If he's got his footwork together,
watch out for Florida State. If he still just thinks
he can win on just being six five and two
(32:29):
forty and just having a big strong arm, look for
Florida State to take a step back, and then that
would question who could be the come up team in
the ACC. Could it be North Carolina? Could it be Clemson?
That's the question mark I have for them right there.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
All right, so we got more football coming up, but
first coming up next, according to Monseie, that's next right
here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
All Right, recovering to you Alive from the tyreq dot
Com Studios. VJ Husky Arnie Spaniard for Jason Smith and
his best fread Mike Carmen Right here on Fox Sports
radio without further ado.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
It is time for according to Monsei, and now.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
It's time for absolutely according to Monsei.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
All right, we start things off, Moncy.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yes, I was waiting a long time for this segment
because they've been explaining it to me.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
So I'll start things off, Chancy.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Yes, soccer is the biggest sport in the world, Moncey.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Yes it is, and I know here in the US
we don't think it's a big deal, but honestly, it
is the biggest sport in the world. The most passionate
sport fans were sneaking into the Copa America final through air.
Vince the president of Columbia Football Federation, is somewhere arrested.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
They seen three felony.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Charges for fighting security. These fans are passionate. I don't
think NBA, baseball, hockey, even NFL fans are this passionate.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Maybe college football fans, but.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
That's a small portion of the US and comparison to
the fans around the world, and fans aren't the only
passionate ones. No, have you ever noticed that in a
soccer game when they play the national anthem, they're all
singing literally unless there's no words they are all singing.
Half of them are in tears. Literally every single soccer game.
I'm telling you, it is the sport of the earth.
All of these other sports also keep changing the rules
(34:32):
to make scoring more of a thing, to keep fans engaged.
Basketball has changed the way you can play defense. Baseball
removed the sticky stuff, sped up the game. You can
even argue that maybe they changed the balls. The NFL
recently changed kickoff rules. They're expecting it's going to create
more scoring. Soccer does not care about that, or else
they would have already removed off sides.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
They don't need to do that.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
The fans aren't going anywhere. They don't care that at
zero zero in the seventieth minute, they are there screaming
their butts off. They are commit, they are passionate, and
it even brings couples back together. Shawn Mendes and Camila
Cabeo were at this game, y'all when they broke up
in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I was offended by their breakup. Then they were spotted at.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
Taylor Swift's concert making out, but apparently they weren't together.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Now we see them again at Go up a Medica.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
I mean soccer.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
It's it's the real deal.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Guys, it's the real deal.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Let's get that's great. I remember nobody, no one cares
about it.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Of course nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yeah, enjoy Patrick.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
Mahomes because he's going to be done sooner rather than later.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yes, let me tell you what I think here.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
A few weeks ago, remember we heard mahomes mother say
that Patrick may not play as long as Brady if
it interfered with his kids and family. Well, Britney Mahomes
and Patrick are now pregnant with their third child. I
think if Mahomes and the Chiefs get their three p
and make history, Mahomes maybe closer to the end. All
I hear from parents, VJ. You tell me is that
(36:00):
the best part are those childhood baby years that they
go by so fast. Tell me Patrick Mahomes does not
look like the type that wants to coach his kids.
Tell me he doesn't. He looks like he wants to
be there. Now that Britney Mahomes is pregnant with that
third kid, I really do think there is a chance
that Mahomes calls it quits earlier rather than later. I mean,
(36:20):
if he gets the three pete that's history. I don't
think he cares to chase Brady seven because he lost
to Brady. So I feel like in his head, he's
gonna be like, even if I get the seven, people.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Are gonna be like, but lo, you lost to Brady.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
And then if Angie Reid retires, if Travis Kelce retires,
all of that, I say that Patrick Mahomes might be
closer to the end than we think.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
According to Monsey.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
According to Monci, parking in an Ada spot when you
should not does not make you cool.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
It makes you a straight up douchebag, y'all. Today I cannot.
I cannot.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Today.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
I went to Starbucks and there were spots everywhere everywhere,
and this guy parks in an eighty A spot because
he's too lazy to walk what extra ton steps? He
didn't need to park there, And I wanted to be like,
do you think you're.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
Cool because you.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
Just became the biggest douche I've ever seen? Just because
you can doesn't mean you should. I swear, it's not cute.
It makes me like, just wonder why people think that
that's okay to do. There was tons of spots guys,
and he just parked right in front of Starbucks in
an eighty A spot, Like, how is how annoying is that?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Don't be that douche. Guys. I hate the guys that
park and compact sparks with the s UV. Well, that's
they're idiots. Your car, that's your fault.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
And I also hate when there are no spots and
you think just because you put your hazard lights on,
you can park wherever you want.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
But today, literally, this guy, I just wanted to say
something to him. I wanted to be like, you know,
there's a spot right next to you that's not eighty a,
it's an extra three spots. That's all I got. Too, crazy, douche,
Here you go.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
You the dumb look, the dumb look. Back back east,
we got something called a dumb look. You don't want
to say nothing because it might, but you just give
them the dumb You just give them the dumb.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Look, like no, yeah, I got it. It's just say
one word. That's the dumb look. You gotta get the
dumb look.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
Yeah, all right, guys, three hours are in the books,
the bonus hours covering up next. You wanted to go
ahead and be part of the show at Big Vanilla Funny.
I'm a stinking genius ones, so we'll get to your tweets.
There is a big question I want to ask Monsi
and the gang, very important.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
You'll see what that is. We got more football to
get to here on Fox Sports Radio
