Speaker 2 (00:25):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Our number two man with Jack for this our number
two coming up. It is the Odd Couple. Yes, we
are live, Rob Parker Kerry Rhodes in for Kelvin Washington
on this worship Wednesday, January first, twenty twenty five. We
are here New Year's Day. College football going on. Ohio
(00:54):
State open up a can against Oregon. I guess they're
thirteen and oh doesn't look as good today.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, No, I already won fifteen in the fourth court.
State had some payback on their mind for sure, so
came out ready to play.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Coming up, Chris Farrett will be in the hot seat.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
What I say, I said, Fet, You said Chris Farrett. Oh,
Chris Purfet, just keep doing.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
We're just gonna keep making more and more troubles.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
No, Perfet, Chris Ferrett is coming up next. No, don't
say that, don't cut Definitely.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I have a story for you in the break. That's
now the second time I've had a last name turned
into a rodent. Well, I well, we'll talk about it
off air. It involves a different last name.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
How do you spell it? P E R F E
c T.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
It's one of those Italian names that got butchered in
Ellis Island. Really it had like a vowel on the end,
and now you need to have a vowel to be Italian.
That's what it was like, profetto and now yes, yeah,
Chris Purfett, No USC Chris is what I call him.
But that's his that's his full fight on I'm unbelieve. Yeah,
the USC Chris is definitely a cop out.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes, no, but I say that, but no, no, no,
I want to make sure I say it.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
All Right, He's coming up with the hot seed in
about twenty seven minutes, so that'll be a lot of
fun in this hour number two. But let's go here
and the Eagles, Philadelphia Eagles YEP, who have a meaningless
game against the New York Football Giants on Sunday. Right
their position in the postseason. Can't change carry, right, So
(02:31):
they're locked in. I think at number two is that
what they are? So it's a meaningless game, yep. So
we know sa Kwan is one hundred and one yards
away from breaking the record that Eric Dickerson did in
sixteen games. Yes, this would be seventeen, right, So I'm
with you. I'm with you. I'm with you on that
(02:52):
one for sure. So that's part of it, okay, But
it would count as the record because when Eric Dickerson
broke OJ's record, broke OJ did it in fourteen game.
That's right, right, Okay, But.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Here's the real thing.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I think the Eagles are smart, and I think the
Eagles are right, and I know people are like, oh,
it's not fair. You know, Saquon's had this unbelievable year.
He could set the records within reach or whatever. But
what what is the big goal? The big goal is
to make a run and a chance to win a
Super Of course Number two is this isn't Saquon on
(03:32):
an island cause you can't rest the other starters and
put in the second and third string for him to
try to get it. So everybody has to play. Carrie,
what if you lose a tackle or two trying to
get this record in a meaningless game, there's no buy,
(03:54):
no extra week for them to rest. They played the
following week, right, Okay, So it's not just him, it's
the starters.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
If you're going to go for the everybody has to play.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And that's why I think it makes sense, even just
for the team chemistry. If he was a player and
the other guys weren't playing, like obviously, the optics look bad.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I mean, we all know what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And if it was the other way around, the other
starters were playing he wasn't playing, it would look bad
as well. So you just have to take into consideration
the optics for your team and what that looks like.
The Eagles are making the right decision. I do understand
people wanting to see it happen, but if the player
himself doesn't want to see it happen, sa Quon, if
he's not lobbying to get this done, it really doesn't
(04:43):
matter because the legacy of what he did. Right now,
the only thing that would change is if he broke
that record. Obviously he's going to be in the record
books and we will always look back and say he
won't over take dousand yards, Say Kwan Barkley broke the record, right,
And so I think for his legacy moving on five
ten years out of the game, people aren't going to say, man,
sa Kuan had a great year that year he had
(05:04):
one thousand, ninete hundred yards or whatever like it'll be
talked about it as a footnote. If he broke the record,
it'll be talked about forever. And I think that's the
distinction that people are trying to, you know, weigh in on.
But for the Eagles, they got to sit him. You
gotta get ready for the playoffs. You got a bigger
fish to fry, right, And and that's the issue.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I get it. People want to see that, Oh I
can't believe they're not gonna play him, yeah man. And
and you know football, chance somebody could get hurt one place.
And if Saquan just Sayquon yeah, hurts his knee and
comes out of the game, they're done. Then you're like, what, Yeah,
(05:43):
they're done? Where what were we doing? Then you would
say the coach is dumb? How could they be playing them?
Like you're putting your setting yourself off. The Chiefs have
no day, they've already shown up the number. They're not
playing Patrick Mahomes for what.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
What would be the Wes.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
There's no reason. Oh well, we don't want to lose
the last game of the year. We lost only one.
We only want to have one. Nobody cares about that.
Were you were you undefeated? Now, if you had a
chance to go undefeated, that's different. It's different. That's a
team thing too. That's a team thing, totally different, exactly,
and the same thing. Uh, you know, in a game
(06:22):
against the giants, you don't know the giants they might
have and you know this, he ain't doing it against us.
We going for him, We're gonna we're gonna make him
feel it or whatever you want. Guys going after Saquan
like that, like you know what I mean, trying to
stop him and maybe let's get a we'll take a
(06:43):
penalty or two, you know what I mean, to let
him know that, no, you're not not today, not against us.
And that's the thing that's crazy about that as well.
Like obviously the other part of that story that we
didn't even talk about yet, and I don't think a
lot of people are is it is against the Giants,
So the story would be amaze, right, he marked the
record against his former team that didn't want them, didn't
sign them, and they picked Daniel Jones over him exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That added layer would be that's a that's a sexy thing,
that's a sex story, right, But the be the adult
and I think for once, Nick Sirianni is the adult
in the room, and you sit that guy in and.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'm sure that they had a conversation. And here's why
I don't believe this is against Saquon's wishes. Earlier against
the Giants, he had a chance to break a record
in the game and they went to him and said, dude,
you could play if you want. Whatever you want to do,
we're cool with it. Now let the other guys get
some wrong. That's right. So that that's in his makeup, right,
(07:42):
because he could have easily said, oh, yeah, i'm balling today,
they can't stop me, let me go back out there.
He didn't care.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, no, it's it was a good thing for him
and it's definitely a good sign of him being a teammate.
And you can see the way he's you know, kind
of interjected, kind of put himself in that situation in
that locker room, and the guys love him.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
If you can't tell me that, they.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Won't have mad respect because he's looking at it from
we have bigger fish to fry. We're trying to make
a run to the super Bowl. I'm a big part
of that. I can't be gimpy. I can't get hurt
in a meaningless game against a bad football team because
I want some record that who knows if I'll even
have it five years from now. You know what I mean,
(08:24):
you like I get it. If it happened during the
natural course of a season, then of course, if they
were playing to get into the playoffs, then he would
play Game seventeen, right, yes, and it would be no
if Ans or box he would play. And even in
this game the lar's playing, you know why, they could
win the division, he has to play. Yah.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
No, No, the game's meaningful. And even with say Kwan
last week, you can tell where this was going. They
gave him the ball on that last drive. He was
in the game every play. It's like, all right, I
know what you're doing. You're trying to get him the
record now, and it doesn't even the game when you
look at it doesn't even look good. Anymore because it's
not it's not a game. It's an intentional thing to
(09:07):
get somebody. It doesn't flow well.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It doesn't the aesthetics look like all they're force feeding him.
This isn't the natural He had forty carries. That's you
know what I mean. If you start doing that, but
you put the more you hand it to him, there's
more risk that something can happen. And that's unnatural. And
that's why you gotta be I get it. And if
records happen. It's not like other sports. You don't have
(09:32):
the injury issue. No one says, oh, don't play Aaron
Judge the last three games because the Yankees are going
to the plays. No, it had no effect. Nah, basketball,
you don't look at it. Oh don't play no football.
You could get hurt or your or your guards could
get hurt or somebody, you know what I mean, Like
other players could get hurt in the process of a
(09:55):
meaningless game.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And the running back and the linemen and those positions
they take so much punishment every play. Those linemen they
get their legs rolled up every play. Almost you do
that forty times in the game. Somebody's gonna be gampy
and that's like, and that's what and that's the risk.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Can you throw the ball a couple of times so
we're not in the you know what I mean, like
because when they're throwing it, you're not you're not nearly involved. Okay, one, two,
and the ball's off, so I'm not getting hit right exactly.
It's it's something. But but you agree with me that
he's out of the he's out of the MVP. He's not.
(10:33):
He had to get the record to get it to
even have a chance, and and uh, I'm not even
sure he would have won automatically even with the record. No,
not automatically, not automatically, because there would have been Football
is weird now from the standpoint that if you don't
have a quarterback, you don't have a team.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, would you agree with that right now? Like you
just like the quarterback is the most important thing. You're
not winning with Trent Dilford right now. And even then
when they won, they had a historic history defense. I
mean they set all contract. That was the most unbelievable
defense running game.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That was.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Don't forget about Lewis. That was Mark Lewis. Yeah, that
was Marvin Lewis, right, Yes, and then the other one
was the Super Bowl. I remember covering in two thousand.
Was that When was the Raiders with that two thousand
and two?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Rob G? Two thousand and two. I think it was
the number one offense, right, Yeah, against the number one defense,
Rich and I want to say Tampa Bay scored. Their
defense scored as many points as their offense. You remember
that they just kept grabbing interception scoring, rob G. Did
you watch the entire game that Super Bowl? And did
(11:47):
you turn it off? You did?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
That?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Was that was ugly? That was bad? Yeah, but that
was John Gruden. Knew everything that they were doing and
it was not good. Yeah, all right, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. This definitely we want to hear
from you, and I know we'll have some different opinions.
Are the Eagles making this mistake by denying Saquon Barkley
(12:10):
a chance to break the rushing record. We'll continue that
conversation next with you. It is the Odd Couple on
Fox Sports Radio. It is a worship Wednesday here on

New Year? Is that the Chinese New Year? I think
it aligns with the seasons?

No, but I mean, but the other I'm like Jewish,
there's a Jewish New Year. No, there's a Chinese New Year? Right,
that's not January. For using my in calendar, that's a
different one.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Eight eight seven, seven ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Or Fox.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Uh, we're talking about sat quad and the Eagles. Did
they make the right decision? He's gonna sit Apparently that's
all the the reports out there. Andre and Massachusetts. You're
on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. This will
be interesting here, Carrie. Where Dre is on this. He's
a team guy, he's about winning. But did the Eagles
(14:58):
do the right thing, Dre, Happy.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
New Year, thanks for taking Nicole absolutely not didn't do
the right thing with this situation. I am a team guy.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm about you are You're about That's why I said it.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yep, yeah, yeah, I'm also from the great state of
New Jersey. Okay, so the Iggles are near and dear
to my heart, and I'm disappointed with this foolishness that
I see going on. Look, if it's in butts were
candy and nuts, we would all have a merry Christmas.
You don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. It
is like, you know, you play him out here, he
could get it. Yeah, he could also get the rushing record.
(15:34):
Bill confidence have that momentum going into the Super Bowl.
Rob you make this point where we talk about the
Book of Manning Manning family, all right, when they won
those Super Bowls? Right, were they undefeated going into the
playoffs World beaters nine and seven. We play every single
week grinding to get to our chance.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah. But the only the only difference, right, and let's
have a conversation on this is that it's different when
you have to play your way in you want to
play that game. There's no there's no question It's like, Lamar,
would you rather not Lamar possibly getting hurt in the
last game of the year. Yeah, but you haven't won
the divisions. Yes, Simone, Lamar's playing tomorrow on Saturday. There
(16:14):
is no if Angel, but this is a meaningless game
for Philadelphia and and and Andre. Be honest, if Sakwuon
Barkley has a leg injury in that game, You'll be
one of the people that are like, what are they doing?
Why would they be playing him right for a meaningless
game on a record that only affects him and nobody else.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Point Rob, here's here's my rejoiner. I'm gonna take it
back to you. No, I wouldn't. That is This is
why I love Dan Campbell. This is why I love
the Detroit Lions. You play to win the game. We're
going out, we're going for and these other things.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
That the Lions would have been in the super Bowl
for the first time in their franchise history if Dan
can Amba would have taken some field goals, yes, when
his team was getting skunked in the second half. Come on, Dre,
like you like that sounds good? Oh Dan, dude, If
you would have told me at the end of that game.
The Lions would have had a chance to kick a
field goal to go to the Super Bowl had he
(17:15):
taken some points earlier. Come on, Mandre, he cost him.
He knows he did last year.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Okay, Rob, if the if the receivers, I see what
you're saying. But those plays that he went for, they
were there. Receivers dropped the ball. That's that's my feeling.
You can say that in the scope of time, you know,
but those plays were there. They had the opportunity. That's
my thing with Saquon. You have the opportunity. If it's
not working, like what happened with Gentry when he ran
into the brick wall yesterday, and it was it wasn't
(17:44):
going for him, then you stop it. But give him
the chance, is my feeling. Thanks so much taking the call.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Happy New Year, all right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I mean the stuff about Dan Campbell and and the
way that he he's hyper aggressive, like sometimes I hate
to say the word, but sometimes just a little stupid
and with what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Right, like like he's trying to live up yeah to
this this this persona or whatever that he's and sometimes
you gotta like, like people should look at the Kansas
City Chiefs. How many field goals they take?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Rob they this period?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
This is my problem with most Andy Reid is supposed
to beat his offensive. Look how many field goals he takes?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Because you take the point early in games, you take
the points. Look at this game that the Arizona State
game today, Arizona State in Texas. Arizona State got were
moving the ball up and down the field all game.
They ended up in the first half with six points.
They turned the ball over twice in the red zone
on downs trying to go for it. Instead of taking points.
(18:50):
They take those points early that game. They win that
game in regulation. There you go, this is what I'm
so crazy?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
What what is this like?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Those points count? They matter, If they matter, why are
you not taking points? And the Dan Campbell thing. If
you go back, they had a big lead in the
first half, they're marching the ball. They were moving the
ball in the second half and they kept coming away
with nothing and in the meantime you allowed the forty
nine ers to go on like a twenty seven to
(19:19):
nothing run.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Why you could stop the bleeding, take a couple of
field goals, take.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
The points man. But yeah, I mean talking about Andre
and his take there. I mean, I'm surprised to actually
hear that somebody's saying that. I mean, that's that aggressively too.
It's like these these teams and these players obviously, yes,
these records will be talking. Like I said earlier, like
the record would be the record, and it'd be cool
and it'll be something for him and his legacy ten
(19:45):
years down the line.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
But if you get it, it has to be under
those of the flow of the game in the season.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yes, And had they been, had they been playing for
a spot in the play, there would be no question
about it. He would he would play, yeah, and maybe
he would get it.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Do you think if he played in this game and
they ran him they ran the ball every game, I
mean every now, for him to go and get the record,
do you think it would be tainted or you think
it will still be have the record?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, it would, I mean he would have the record.
But people would go like that was Lane's like, because
they just ran the ball, they lost the game.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
They didn't care. It was all about him exactly. That's
not how you want it.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Like we talked about it the other day, there was
a women's basketball player at Yukon and she needed a
few points for the record.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
She had a cast on her.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
She couldn't she couldn't play, so they put her in
the game, had her cherry pick down the other end.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
No, yes, rob g I always tell the story, and
I always forget the player's.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Name, and and I said, had I been the coach,
I would have had my five players surround her and
refused to allow her to score because she couldn't play.
Do you do you understand what I'm saying? Like Kerrie,
she can't run down the other she's she has, she's hurt,
but they let her cherry pick so that she could
score the point.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
When was this I'm doing the breakup? That's crazy crazy.

on a handicap. Robb G's taking me off my.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Fare So let's get to it here the hot seat US,
Chris Prefet take number one, Fat Chris Perfet.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Okay, this one is a doozy.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Chris says, the new Major League Baseball proposed golden at
bat rule is actually a fantastic idea.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Chris, you got thirty seconds state your case.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Let me let me just name a few names to
try to state my case. What does Auston Martin, Kevin Newman,
Christian Bethancourt, Harrison Bader, Alex Jackson, Johann Rojas, and Kyle
Ispel have in common is that nobody wants to watch
them at bat. They're all nine whole batters who are
in this season. I'm sorry. Nine whole batters are usually
batting around them and line. There's a reason why, Like
(24:02):
when you get to that part of the order, any
kind of rally is thrown into the pitch.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
No, I'd rather see someone like show heyo Tani, take that,
take that at bat, have some fun and just let's
have some magic.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
We want magical moments. We don't want this to be
the sho heo Tani, Aaron Judge get up every at bat.
That's how you make magical moments. Do you remember Bucky Dan,
a light hitting shortstop, one of the biggest home runs
at Feenway Park for the Yankees to put them in
a one game playoff. That's how you become a legend
(24:39):
of people because it wasn't expected.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
That's what makes sports so great. Okay, but this would
be limited in there. If you want to say it's Hoki,
who cares, you know what's also Hoki is throwing a
yellow bean bag a red beanbag to challenge a play
or move or move some chains in the NFL, just
having a little bit of this right here to make
some actual magic happened with big stars. That's what this
(25:03):
is about. It's about business. You want stars, You had
to have fun time. You want to put those guys,
wouldn't you want? You want Lebron James taking the big
shots of the end of the game. Why is baseball different?
Why do I have to watch a guy who usually
should be in triple A.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Well, you're not going to watch the game anyway that
way because you want all your guys. All you guys
are being paid, right, They're all paid to be National League,
American League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Field hitters players.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You want to get all those guys that earn their money,
earn their worth, and like Rob said, all those guys
are having a chance to make a big moment, a
big moment in the game, and to make money and
make their name with the Yankee law.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So I say that's a bad rule.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Geez.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
I feel like I was in a coffee shop just
as you guys talk, where's the fire, where's the aggression?
Rob was even like kind of slow there coming in
this baseball Rob, I thought you'd be at his.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Neck for something. Thought, Oh, I thought I got dumb.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So I wasn't.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Just because Rob wants to make smarty remarks at the
judge who saves his career.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
Round one goes to Chris, and let me say this, Chris,
who was the NLCS MVP for the Dodgers when Day
advanced to the World Series.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Let me ask you, I'm asking you, I don't know
that Tommy Edmund. It wasn't Showhy, it was somebody nobody knew.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Yeah, that's another point off the odd couple for Rob
continuing your now odd couple minus three one.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Here we go take number two, hot seat USC Chris
profeting with the odd couple. Chris says, for whatever reason,
I would love to hear you explain this one that
the NBA will be quote got awful once Lebron James
finally retires. Chris, you got thirty seconds that your case.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Listen, this is already a cliff we're already driving to.
We could even say it started when Kobe Bryant retired.
There's no more fire in a lot of these guys
playing in the end. They all played aau together, they're
all having a lot of fun. They're out there and
where's the competition. I remember the pistons and the bulls
being added all the time, and I'm not I don't
even go back that far, just to the twenty tens,
(27:11):
where he had great teams, great rivalries. Everyone is far
too chummy with each other, and there's not enough. There's
not a guy who can carry the league like Lebron
James has And that's what the NBA is at the
end of the day.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's a one man show.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And if they can't put out a one man's show,
there ain't no damn show.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Heard that. The NBA's the NBA. The NBA is gonna
be fine. Lebron's over the hill. Nobody really cares about
that situation in a way anyway. They got young stars.
They got Shay Gilgis Alexander, they have Anthony Edwards, they
have Jokics, they have Luka Dantic, They have a lot
of players that are going to carry their torch. And
don't don't let me forget Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown
as well. The NBA will always be fine. They just
(27:49):
won a championship with those guys. They'll be.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
None of these guys are Lebron. ESPN isn't moving a
bunch of studios to go up to Miami or to
wherever Jon Tatum plays to like suddenly follow his every move.
They already have one in Boston, but still nobody's going
to Denver for Djokich like we're talking about a man
who moved an industry.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
That's what the NBA is losing.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
And I'm sorry, have you watched football starting to kick
their butts up and down the court?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Chris? It has nothing to do with Lebron and his aging.
It's a terrible game to watch aesthetically because of all
the threes. And then you talk about Lebron, he's the
one who buttied up with everybody and teamed up with
everybody to make super teams that actually damaged the league.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So now you're saying that the league can't go on.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Michael Jordan retired and guess what, twenty years later, the
NBA is still making money, still on television. Didn't go away.
Great players come and go.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
The NBA is not going anywhere now. Fair point.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
I do believe that the NBA already is getting terrible
even with Lebron playing. But yes, I think Profett was
trying to do his best. Rob Parker not even saying
Joki his name correcked after two?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
All right, last.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Chris Burfett, Fox Ward Radio Updated, Chris, we're sitting in
with you.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Gotta remember I was picked to judge for a reason.
I'm gonna Judge.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
This is the last Judge. Judy has nothing on you.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
The hottest take of the night.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
This one worth bonus points. Whoever gets this.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
One is probably gonna win it. Chris says, A Christmas Story.
Speaker 8 (29:32):
A classic, one of the most beloved holiday films of
all time, is actually a terrible holiday movie.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Chris, you got thirty seconds save yourself.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I understand this is really hot, but listen to me.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I hate this movie.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I hate it so much, and I'm gonna tell you
exactly why, because you're all standing for very basic, weird behavior.
Peter Billingsley's narrations awesome, but it's a grown man complaining
about a toy he didn't get when he was a child,
or did get and then still got himself into trouble.
If it was just not narrated, it'd be fine. It
would be a talent tale about the sixties, which I
(30:08):
just don't really care about. But it's instead an old
man complaining about how his father acted, how his mother acted,
how he wasn't heightened.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
No, Chris, isn't that our world anyway? Old people talking
about their childhoods and being damaged. This movie is a
classic Christmas story. I just watched it last night again.
Ralphie Randy. That family's crazy. The emotion of it going
to Christmas that brings all the feels, I mean, all
the moments with him and his dad, his dad outside
trying to change the tire. All these things are relatable.
(30:39):
The mom was a perfect mom for the film. Anything
said negatively about Christmas Story, I will fight you. Chris,
will you listen. You're a big man. I probably can't
fight you directly, which is why I'm on the hot seat.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Listen to me.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
There's plenty of other Christmas stories out there that get
the spirit of Christmas. I just watch Muppet Christmas Carol.
I don't care that it's with muppets out there. It
is a fantastic I'm sorry. I'm just not going to
a man who just did you watch the sequel to
a Christmas Story, the Christmas Story Christmas?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Because why? Because it's boring At the end of the day,
there's nothing less to mind there. And if you still
have to listen about Red Ryder, Beaty Guns, what kind
of guy or you that you hate a Christmas Story?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I mean, Chris hates bunny rabbits, dislikes jelly beans, He
hates ice cream, cotton candy. What kind of world are
you living in? How could you attack an American Christmas
classic and Pooh Pooh the movie because you don't like it?
And then you have the nerve to mention the Muppets
(31:40):
that he loves some Muppets Christmas movie. They're not even real.
I mean, are you kidding me? Come on, Chris, you
gotta be better than this. That was literally my point.
I was about to say he lost all krillly bitterly
talking about Muppets.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
That was it.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Wow, yep.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
I never thought in my days that Carrie Rhodes in
all my years would not only hit after the bell,
but we use his physical stature to threaten another employee.
We have never seen that before here at Fox Perfet
you get the wines.

way tire buying should be. And Rob G already this
(34:10):
talk right, there's a story out there about maybe the
college football Playoff looking into overhauling the playoff format.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
That's correct, that was before today already Texas Classic and
we got a good game.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
We had a great game earlier today.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
But according to Brett mc murphy, longtime and if a
custable insider now, actually the Action Network in the wake
of the first round of games, which will.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
All blow out what was it average.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Averaging nineteen points per game average nineteen Yeah, we talked about,
I mean, it's not twelve teams this year that were
really deserving of it anyway. Well, and then we just
had right now, the number one team in the nation
get blown out by twenty yes, right, they were undefeated.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Oh, I thought they were undefa Oregon.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
According to Brett McMurphy, the powers that be on the
committee were so dumbfounded and upset that these schools like
Boise State, they were assuming Arizona State, these lower level
power five conferences, power five teams, we're not going to
put up a good fight and put up a good
(35:16):
television program.
Speaker 10 (35:18):
So they're already considering.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
For the twenty what is now twenty twenty five seen
twenty twenty six college Fotball Playoff, considering a change in
the format that would ensure that the top four seeds
that get a bye would only be based on your
college football Playoff ranking. Right now, it's whoever wins these
conferences automatically gets the first round by. So they would
(35:42):
want to switch it up so that in a situation
where they say, hey, Ohio State's better than Arizona State,
will say Ohio State will get a first round by
instead of Arizona State, whether or not they win their conference.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Ooh, that's interesting. What do you think about that, Roberts?
It's too much like I got a headache, Like.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
They're not gonna go backwards right and make it eight
teams would probably be more realistic than twelve after this,
after watching all this, and the biggest thing is you
can be thirteen and zero and another school, Ohio State,
was eleven and two. Right, Yeah, you don't play the
same competition, so you can't really judge. It's hard to
(36:27):
judge how good you really are, like depending on your
schedule and who you're playing.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Ohio State and Oregon in the same conference. They Oregon
beat them early in the year, right, Yeah, But.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I'm just saying with a lot of these other schools,
you know what i mean, Really it's hard to really determine.
Because that was a big argument, like in favor of Alabama.
Alabama's better than these other schools, have a better record,
but then they weren't. They weren't, right, and then lose
to an undermanned Michigan that had a bad year except
(36:59):
for the last two games they beat Ohio State, and
then they beat Alabama somehow, some way because they really
had a bad year.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, they had no offense at all. They had a
good defense, I mean, you know they're gonna be solid there,
but had no business beating Ohio State at Alabama.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
No, no, no, And that was and then to see
Ohio State roll over Oregon.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Like this funny somebody on Twitter when I picked Ohio
State minus two and a half, they were like, oh,
Oregon wins this game. By twenty I.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Picked Ohio State too, Yeah, out of Oregon by twenty
I was like, what are you watching?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, so I don't know. I mean they're gonna make
some changes, the real changes will never happen, which is
reducing the field to me. Yeah, yeah, like that's how
you try to get the best. And even when they
had the four teams, rob g right, all right, they
if they could do sixty four teams like or sixty
eight right with college basketball, they would do it if
(37:56):
they could get away with it and get people to
buy tickets. But god, we can't get twelve teams. We
can't get eight good teams.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Yeah, you can't do the receiving thing where if the
team like Ohio State, if it's on the state, if
everyon's on the state wins their division, they get they
should get they should get it.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Right, you gotta make the regular season worse somehow. Correct. Yeah,
So I'm not buying it. All right.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Our number three of the program is coming up, Kyle Shanahan.
We're gonna talk about him. He's coming back, but whether
she should be coming back really and what he's done there.

Our number two man with Jack for this our number
two coming up. It is the Odd Couple. Yes, we
are live, Rob Parker Kerry Rhodes in for Kelvin Washington
on this worship Wednesday, January first, twenty twenty five. We
are here New Year's Day. College football going on. Ohio
(00:54):
State open up a can against Oregon. I guess they're
thirteen and oh doesn't look as good today.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, No, I already won fifteen in the fourth court.
State had some payback on their mind for sure, so
came out ready to play.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Coming up, Chris Farrett will be in the hot seat.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
What I say, I said, Fet, You said Chris Farrett. Oh,
Chris Purfet, just keep doing.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
We're just gonna keep making more and more troubles.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
No, Perfet, Chris Ferrett is coming up next. No, don't
say that, don't cut Definitely.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I have a story for you in the break. That's
now the second time I've had a last name turned
into a rodent. Well, I well, we'll talk about it
off air. It involves a different last name.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
How do you spell it? P E R F E
c T.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
It's one of those Italian names that got butchered in
Ellis Island. Really it had like a vowel on the end,
and now you need to have a vowel to be Italian.
That's what it was like, profetto and now yes, yeah,
Chris Purfett, No USC Chris is what I call him.
But that's his that's his full fight on I'm unbelieve. Yeah,
the USC Chris is definitely a cop out.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes, no, but I say that, but no, no, no,
I want to make sure I say it.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
All Right, He's coming up with the hot seed in
about twenty seven minutes, so that'll be a lot of
fun in this hour number two. But let's go here
and the Eagles, Philadelphia Eagles YEP, who have a meaningless
game against the New York Football Giants on Sunday. Right
their position in the postseason. Can't change carry, right, So
(02:31):
they're locked in. I think at number two is that
what they are? So it's a meaningless game, yep. So
we know sa Kwan is one hundred and one yards
away from breaking the record that Eric Dickerson did in
sixteen games. Yes, this would be seventeen, right, So I'm
with you. I'm with you. I'm with you on that
(02:52):
one for sure. So that's part of it, okay, But
it would count as the record because when Eric Dickerson
broke OJ's record, broke OJ did it in fourteen game.
That's right, right, Okay, But.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Here's the real thing.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I think the Eagles are smart, and I think the
Eagles are right, and I know people are like, oh,
it's not fair. You know, Saquon's had this unbelievable year.
He could set the records within reach or whatever. But
what what is the big goal? The big goal is
to make a run and a chance to win a
Super Of course Number two is this isn't Saquon on
(03:32):
an island cause you can't rest the other starters and
put in the second and third string for him to
try to get it. So everybody has to play. Carrie,
what if you lose a tackle or two trying to
get this record in a meaningless game, there's no buy,
(03:54):
no extra week for them to rest. They played the
following week, right, Okay, So it's not just him, it's
the starters.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
If you're going to go for the everybody has to play.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And that's why I think it makes sense, even just
for the team chemistry. If he was a player and
the other guys weren't playing, like obviously, the optics look bad.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I mean, we all know what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And if it was the other way around, the other
starters were playing he wasn't playing, it would look bad
as well. So you just have to take into consideration
the optics for your team and what that looks like.
The Eagles are making the right decision. I do understand
people wanting to see it happen, but if the player
himself doesn't want to see it happen, sa Quon, if
he's not lobbying to get this done, it really doesn't
(04:43):
matter because the legacy of what he did. Right now,
the only thing that would change is if he broke
that record. Obviously he's going to be in the record
books and we will always look back and say he
won't over take dousand yards, Say Kwan Barkley broke the record, right,
And so I think for his legacy moving on five
ten years out of the game, people aren't going to say, man,
sa Kuan had a great year that year he had
(05:04):
one thousand, ninete hundred yards or whatever like it'll be
talked about it as a footnote. If he broke the record,
it'll be talked about forever. And I think that's the
distinction that people are trying to, you know, weigh in on.
But for the Eagles, they got to sit him. You
gotta get ready for the playoffs. You got a bigger
fish to fry, right, And and that's the issue.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I get it. People want to see that, Oh I
can't believe they're not gonna play him, yeah man. And
and you know football, chance somebody could get hurt one place.
And if Saquan just Sayquon yeah, hurts his knee and
comes out of the game, they're done. Then you're like, what, Yeah,
(05:43):
they're done? Where what were we doing? Then you would
say the coach is dumb? How could they be playing them?
Like you're putting your setting yourself off. The Chiefs have
no day, they've already shown up the number. They're not
playing Patrick Mahomes for what.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
What would be the Wes.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
There's no reason. Oh well, we don't want to lose
the last game of the year. We lost only one.
We only want to have one. Nobody cares about that.
Were you were you undefeated? Now, if you had a
chance to go undefeated, that's different. It's different. That's a
team thing too. That's a team thing, totally different, exactly,
and the same thing. Uh, you know, in a game
(06:22):
against the giants, you don't know the giants they might
have and you know this, he ain't doing it against us.
We going for him, We're gonna we're gonna make him
feel it or whatever you want. Guys going after Saquan
like that, like you know what I mean, trying to
stop him and maybe let's get a we'll take a
(06:43):
penalty or two, you know what I mean, to let
him know that, no, you're not not today, not against us.
And that's the thing that's crazy about that as well.
Like obviously the other part of that story that we
didn't even talk about yet, and I don't think a
lot of people are is it is against the Giants,
So the story would be amaze, right, he marked the
record against his former team that didn't want them, didn't
sign them, and they picked Daniel Jones over him exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That added layer would be that's a that's a sexy thing,
that's a sex story, right, But the be the adult
and I think for once, Nick Sirianni is the adult
in the room, and you sit that guy in and.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'm sure that they had a conversation. And here's why
I don't believe this is against Saquon's wishes. Earlier against
the Giants, he had a chance to break a record
in the game and they went to him and said, dude,
you could play if you want. Whatever you want to do,
we're cool with it. Now let the other guys get
some wrong. That's right. So that that's in his makeup, right,
(07:42):
because he could have easily said, oh, yeah, i'm balling today,
they can't stop me, let me go back out there.
He didn't care.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, no, it's it was a good thing for him
and it's definitely a good sign of him being a teammate.
And you can see the way he's you know, kind
of interjected, kind of put himself in that situation in
that locker room, and the guys love him.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
If you can't tell me that, they.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Won't have mad respect because he's looking at it from
we have bigger fish to fry. We're trying to make
a run to the super Bowl. I'm a big part
of that. I can't be gimpy. I can't get hurt
in a meaningless game against a bad football team because
I want some record that who knows if I'll even
have it five years from now. You know what I mean,
(08:24):
you like I get it. If it happened during the
natural course of a season, then of course, if they
were playing to get into the playoffs, then he would
play Game seventeen, right, yes, and it would be no
if Ans or box he would play. And even in
this game the lar's playing, you know why, they could
win the division, he has to play. Yah.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
No, No, the game's meaningful. And even with say Kwan
last week, you can tell where this was going. They
gave him the ball on that last drive. He was
in the game every play. It's like, all right, I
know what you're doing. You're trying to get him the
record now, and it doesn't even the game when you
look at it doesn't even look good. Anymore because it's
not it's not a game. It's an intentional thing to
(09:07):
get somebody. It doesn't flow well.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It doesn't the aesthetics look like all they're force feeding him.
This isn't the natural He had forty carries. That's you
know what I mean. If you start doing that, but
you put the more you hand it to him, there's
more risk that something can happen. And that's unnatural. And
that's why you gotta be I get it. And if
records happen. It's not like other sports. You don't have
(09:32):
the injury issue. No one says, oh, don't play Aaron
Judge the last three games because the Yankees are going
to the plays. No, it had no effect. Nah, basketball,
you don't look at it. Oh don't play no football.
You could get hurt or your or your guards could
get hurt or somebody, you know what I mean, Like
other players could get hurt in the process of a
(09:55):
meaningless game.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And the running back and the linemen and those positions
they take so much punishment every play. Those linemen they
get their legs rolled up every play. Almost you do
that forty times in the game. Somebody's gonna be gampy
and that's like, and that's what and that's the risk.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Can you throw the ball a couple of times so
we're not in the you know what I mean, like
because when they're throwing it, you're not you're not nearly involved. Okay, one, two,
and the ball's off, so I'm not getting hit right exactly.
It's it's something. But but you agree with me that
he's out of the he's out of the MVP. He's not.
(10:33):
He had to get the record to get it to
even have a chance, and and uh, I'm not even
sure he would have won automatically even with the record. No,
not automatically, not automatically, because there would have been Football
is weird now from the standpoint that if you don't
have a quarterback, you don't have a team.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, would you agree with that right now? Like you
just like the quarterback is the most important thing. You're
not winning with Trent Dilford right now. And even then
when they won, they had a historic history defense. I
mean they set all contract. That was the most unbelievable
defense running game.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That was.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Don't forget about Lewis. That was Mark Lewis. Yeah, that
was Marvin Lewis, right, Yes, and then the other one
was the Super Bowl. I remember covering in two thousand.
Was that When was the Raiders with that two thousand
and two?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Rob G? Two thousand and two. I think it was
the number one offense, right, Yeah, against the number one defense,
Rich and I want to say Tampa Bay scored. Their
defense scored as many points as their offense. You remember
that they just kept grabbing interception scoring, rob G. Did
you watch the entire game that Super Bowl? And did
(11:47):
you turn it off? You did?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
That?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Was that was ugly? That was bad? Yeah, but that
was John Gruden. Knew everything that they were doing and
it was not good. Yeah, all right, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. This definitely we want to hear
from you, and I know we'll have some different opinions.
Are the Eagles making this mistake by denying Saquon Barkley
(12:10):
a chance to break the rushing record. We'll continue that
conversation next with you. It is the Odd Couple on
Fox Sports Radio. It is a worship Wednesday here on

I believe New Year's is on April first? New Year's
I think that's a hot take.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Are you sure that's the uh? Is that the Jewish
New Year? Is that the Chinese New Year? I think
it aligns with the seasons?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
No, but I mean, but the other I'm like Jewish,
there's a Jewish New Year. No, there's a Chinese New Year? Right,
that's not January. For using my in calendar, that's a
different one.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So my mom has a different one.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
She's Macedonian.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
There's are like January twenty third or something?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
How is Macedonia? Should I go there? You would love it?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
You know, I've traveled all over the world. I want
to I want to see some different You.

put that on my limb. Macedonia.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, I won't come back, I promise you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Not Babylonia, but Macedonia, Macedonia. Remember that. Stephen Martin song

All right, let's do that.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Eight eight seven, seven ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Or Fox.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Uh, we're talking about sat quad and the Eagles. Did
they make the right decision? He's gonna sit Apparently that's
all the the reports out there. Andre and Massachusetts. You're
on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. This will
be interesting here, Carrie. Where Dre is on this. He's
a team guy, he's about winning. But did the Eagles
(14:58):
do the right thing, Dre, Happy.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
New Year, thanks for taking Nicole absolutely not didn't do
the right thing with this situation. I am a team guy.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm about you are You're about That's why I said it.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yep, yeah, yeah, I'm also from the great state of
New Jersey. Okay, so the Iggles are near and dear
to my heart, and I'm disappointed with this foolishness that
I see going on. Look, if it's in butts were
candy and nuts, we would all have a merry Christmas.
You don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. It
is like, you know, you play him out here, he
could get it. Yeah, he could also get the rushing record.
(15:34):
Bill confidence have that momentum going into the Super Bowl.
Rob you make this point where we talk about the
Book of Manning Manning family, all right, when they won
those Super Bowls? Right, were they undefeated going into the
playoffs World beaters nine and seven. We play every single
week grinding to get to our chance.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah. But the only the only difference, right, and let's
have a conversation on this is that it's different when
you have to play your way in you want to
play that game. There's no there's no question It's like, Lamar,
would you rather not Lamar possibly getting hurt in the
last game of the year. Yeah, but you haven't won
the divisions. Yes, Simone, Lamar's playing tomorrow on Saturday. There
(16:14):
is no if Angel, but this is a meaningless game
for Philadelphia and and and Andre. Be honest, if Sakwuon
Barkley has a leg injury in that game, You'll be
one of the people that are like, what are they doing?
Why would they be playing him right for a meaningless
game on a record that only affects him and nobody else.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Point Rob, here's here's my rejoiner. I'm gonna take it
back to you. No, I wouldn't. That is This is
why I love Dan Campbell. This is why I love
the Detroit Lions. You play to win the game. We're
going out, we're going for and these other things.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
That the Lions would have been in the super Bowl
for the first time in their franchise history if Dan
can Amba would have taken some field goals, yes, when
his team was getting skunked in the second half. Come on, Dre,
like you like that sounds good? Oh Dan, dude, If
you would have told me at the end of that game.
The Lions would have had a chance to kick a
field goal to go to the Super Bowl had he
(17:15):
taken some points earlier. Come on, Mandre, he cost him.
He knows he did last year.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Okay, Rob, if the if the receivers, I see what
you're saying. But those plays that he went for, they
were there. Receivers dropped the ball. That's that's my feeling.
You can say that in the scope of time, you know,
but those plays were there. They had the opportunity. That's
my thing with Saquon. You have the opportunity. If it's
not working, like what happened with Gentry when he ran
into the brick wall yesterday, and it was it wasn't
(17:44):
going for him, then you stop it. But give him
the chance, is my feeling. Thanks so much taking the call.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Happy New Year, all right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I mean the stuff about Dan Campbell and and the
way that he he's hyper aggressive, like sometimes I hate
to say the word, but sometimes just a little stupid
and with what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Right, like like he's trying to live up yeah to
this this this persona or whatever that he's and sometimes
you gotta like, like people should look at the Kansas
City Chiefs. How many field goals they take?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Rob they this period?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
This is my problem with most Andy Reid is supposed
to beat his offensive. Look how many field goals he takes?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Because you take the point early in games, you take
the points. Look at this game that the Arizona State
game today, Arizona State in Texas. Arizona State got were
moving the ball up and down the field all game.
They ended up in the first half with six points.
They turned the ball over twice in the red zone
on downs trying to go for it. Instead of taking points.
(18:50):
They take those points early that game. They win that
game in regulation. There you go, this is what I'm
so crazy?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
What what is this like?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Those points count? They matter, If they matter, why are
you not taking points? And the Dan Campbell thing. If
you go back, they had a big lead in the
first half, they're marching the ball. They were moving the
ball in the second half and they kept coming away
with nothing and in the meantime you allowed the forty
nine ers to go on like a twenty seven to
(19:19):
nothing run.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Why you could stop the bleeding, take a couple of
field goals, take.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
The points man. But yeah, I mean talking about Andre
and his take there. I mean, I'm surprised to actually
hear that somebody's saying that. I mean, that's that aggressively too.
It's like these these teams and these players obviously, yes,
these records will be talking. Like I said earlier, like
the record would be the record, and it'd be cool
and it'll be something for him and his legacy ten
(19:45):
years down the line.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
But if you get it, it has to be under
those of the flow of the game in the season.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yes, And had they been, had they been playing for
a spot in the play, there would be no question
about it. He would he would play, yeah, and maybe
he would get it.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Do you think if he played in this game and
they ran him they ran the ball every game, I
mean every now, for him to go and get the record,
do you think it would be tainted or you think
it will still be have the record?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, it would, I mean he would have the record.
But people would go like that was Lane's like, because
they just ran the ball, they lost the game.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
They didn't care. It was all about him exactly. That's
not how you want it.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Like we talked about it the other day, there was
a women's basketball player at Yukon and she needed a
few points for the record.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
She had a cast on her.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
She couldn't she couldn't play, so they put her in
the game, had her cherry pick down the other end.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
No, yes, rob g I always tell the story, and
I always forget the player's.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Name, and and I said, had I been the coach,
I would have had my five players surround her and
refused to allow her to score because she couldn't play.
Do you do you understand what I'm saying? Like Kerrie,
she can't run down the other she's she has, she's hurt,
but they let her cherry pick so that she could
score the point.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
When was this I'm doing the breakup? That's crazy crazy.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
All right, Chris, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It is the odd Couple Fox Sports Radio coming to
you live from the tire Rack dot com studios.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
And guess what it's now Time for the hot.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Seat, damn son. The current temperature the odd Couple are
making it hot in here. Hot Time to sit your
butt down in cooking.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
The hot seat.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
That's right, it is the hot seat here on the
Eye Couple on Fox Sports Radio a segment we invite
one of our Fox Sports Radio brethren to get into
the square circle. Chris Purfett with the tag team Champions
of the World, the Odd Couple, Rob Parker, Carrie Rose,
and if you're new to this segment, no, Carrie may
have seen it. In a minute, Chris has three wildly
(22:08):
hot takes that he's gonna defend two on one against
both you and Rob to find out once and for
all who is the great debater here on the Odd Couple.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Okay, the way it works here not the mass debate,
but the great debate. Oh man, we're gonna have to
dump that.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Usc.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Chris Purfett has three takes. Again, he has thirty seconds
to make his case.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
There's a reason why you've been here for ten years.
It's because I'm helping.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Robby gonna make it to February. Let me tell you,
carry you ready for the super Bowl because we could.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Use you in no or you know, I got to
it's January first.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
So Chris has thirty seconds to stay his case. The
Odd Couple gets thirty seconds to respond. Chris gets another
thirty for a rebuttal. The odd couple gets the last
thirty seconds, pretty straightforward, as always, our esteemed musical dj
Alex sure will be the judge, jury and execution.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Well, the odd couples already negative of points since I
had to dub Rob, so.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Hey, listen.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Apparently, apparently none of these are football topics, So I'm
on a handicap. Robb G's taking me off my.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Fare So let's get to it here the hot seat US,
Chris Prefet take number one, Fat Chris Perfet.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Okay, this one is a doozy.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Chris says, the new Major League Baseball proposed golden at
bat rule is actually a fantastic idea.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Chris, you got thirty seconds state your case.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Let me let me just name a few names to
try to state my case. What does Auston Martin, Kevin Newman,
Christian Bethancourt, Harrison Bader, Alex Jackson, Johann Rojas, and Kyle
Ispel have in common is that nobody wants to watch
them at bat. They're all nine whole batters who are
in this season. I'm sorry. Nine whole batters are usually
batting around them and line. There's a reason why, Like
(24:02):
when you get to that part of the order, any
kind of rally is thrown into the pitch.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
No, I'd rather see someone like show heyo Tani, take that,
take that at bat, have some fun and just let's
have some magic.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
We want magical moments. We don't want this to be
the sho heo Tani, Aaron Judge get up every at bat.
That's how you make magical moments. Do you remember Bucky Dan,
a light hitting shortstop, one of the biggest home runs
at Feenway Park for the Yankees to put them in
a one game playoff. That's how you become a legend
(24:39):
of people because it wasn't expected.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
That's what makes sports so great. Okay, but this would
be limited in there. If you want to say it's Hoki,
who cares, you know what's also Hoki is throwing a
yellow bean bag a red beanbag to challenge a play
or move or move some chains in the NFL, just
having a little bit of this right here to make
some actual magic happened with big stars. That's what this
(25:03):
is about. It's about business. You want stars, You had
to have fun time. You want to put those guys,
wouldn't you want? You want Lebron James taking the big
shots of the end of the game. Why is baseball different?
Why do I have to watch a guy who usually
should be in triple A.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Well, you're not going to watch the game anyway that
way because you want all your guys. All you guys
are being paid, right, They're all paid to be National League,
American League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Field hitters players.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You want to get all those guys that earn their money,
earn their worth, and like Rob said, all those guys
are having a chance to make a big moment, a
big moment in the game, and to make money and
make their name with the Yankee law.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So I say that's a bad rule.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Geez.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
I feel like I was in a coffee shop just
as you guys talk, where's the fire, where's the aggression?
Rob was even like kind of slow there coming in
this baseball Rob, I thought you'd be at his.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Neck for something. Thought, Oh, I thought I got dumb.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So I wasn't.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Just because Rob wants to make smarty remarks at the
judge who saves his career.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
Round one goes to Chris, and let me say this, Chris,
who was the NLCS MVP for the Dodgers when Day
advanced to the World Series.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Let me ask you, I'm asking you, I don't know
that Tommy Edmund. It wasn't Showhy, it was somebody nobody knew.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Yeah, that's another point off the odd couple for Rob
continuing your now odd couple minus three one.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Here we go take number two, hot seat USC Chris
profeting with the odd couple. Chris says, for whatever reason,
I would love to hear you explain this one that
the NBA will be quote got awful once Lebron James
finally retires. Chris, you got thirty seconds that your case.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Listen, this is already a cliff we're already driving to.
We could even say it started when Kobe Bryant retired.
There's no more fire in a lot of these guys
playing in the end. They all played aau together, they're
all having a lot of fun. They're out there and
where's the competition. I remember the pistons and the bulls
being added all the time, and I'm not I don't
even go back that far, just to the twenty tens,
(27:11):
where he had great teams, great rivalries. Everyone is far
too chummy with each other, and there's not enough. There's
not a guy who can carry the league like Lebron
James has And that's what the NBA is at the
end of the day.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's a one man show.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And if they can't put out a one man's show,
there ain't no damn show.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Heard that. The NBA's the NBA. The NBA is gonna
be fine. Lebron's over the hill. Nobody really cares about
that situation in a way anyway. They got young stars.
They got Shay Gilgis Alexander, they have Anthony Edwards, they
have Jokics, they have Luka Dantic, They have a lot
of players that are going to carry their torch. And
don't don't let me forget Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown
as well. The NBA will always be fine. They just
(27:49):
won a championship with those guys. They'll be.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
None of these guys are Lebron. ESPN isn't moving a
bunch of studios to go up to Miami or to
wherever Jon Tatum plays to like suddenly follow his every move.
They already have one in Boston, but still nobody's going
to Denver for Djokich like we're talking about a man
who moved an industry.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
That's what the NBA is losing.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
And I'm sorry, have you watched football starting to kick
their butts up and down the court?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Chris? It has nothing to do with Lebron and his aging.
It's a terrible game to watch aesthetically because of all
the threes. And then you talk about Lebron, he's the
one who buttied up with everybody and teamed up with
everybody to make super teams that actually damaged the league.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So now you're saying that the league can't go on.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Michael Jordan retired and guess what, twenty years later, the
NBA is still making money, still on television. Didn't go away.
Great players come and go.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
The NBA is not going anywhere now. Fair point.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
I do believe that the NBA already is getting terrible
even with Lebron playing. But yes, I think Profett was
trying to do his best. Rob Parker not even saying
Joki his name correcked after two?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
All right, last.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Chris Burfett, Fox Ward Radio Updated, Chris, we're sitting in
with you.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Gotta remember I was picked to judge for a reason.
I'm gonna Judge.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
This is the last Judge. Judy has nothing on you.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
The hottest take of the night.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
This one worth bonus points. Whoever gets this.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
One is probably gonna win it. Chris says, A Christmas Story.
Speaker 8 (29:32):
A classic, one of the most beloved holiday films of
all time, is actually a terrible holiday movie.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Chris, you got thirty seconds save yourself.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I understand this is really hot, but listen to me.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I hate this movie.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I hate it so much, and I'm gonna tell you
exactly why, because you're all standing for very basic, weird behavior.
Peter Billingsley's narrations awesome, but it's a grown man complaining
about a toy he didn't get when he was a child,
or did get and then still got himself into trouble.
If it was just not narrated, it'd be fine. It
would be a talent tale about the sixties, which I
(30:08):
just don't really care about. But it's instead an old
man complaining about how his father acted, how his mother acted,
how he wasn't heightened.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
No, Chris, isn't that our world anyway? Old people talking
about their childhoods and being damaged. This movie is a
classic Christmas story. I just watched it last night again.
Ralphie Randy. That family's crazy. The emotion of it going
to Christmas that brings all the feels, I mean, all
the moments with him and his dad, his dad outside
trying to change the tire. All these things are relatable.
(30:39):
The mom was a perfect mom for the film. Anything
said negatively about Christmas Story, I will fight you. Chris,
will you listen. You're a big man. I probably can't
fight you directly, which is why I'm on the hot seat.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Listen to me.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
There's plenty of other Christmas stories out there that get
the spirit of Christmas. I just watch Muppet Christmas Carol.
I don't care that it's with muppets out there. It
is a fantastic I'm sorry. I'm just not going to
a man who just did you watch the sequel to
a Christmas Story, the Christmas Story Christmas?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Because why? Because it's boring At the end of the day,
there's nothing less to mind there. And if you still
have to listen about Red Ryder, Beaty Guns, what kind
of guy or you that you hate a Christmas Story?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I mean, Chris hates bunny rabbits, dislikes jelly beans, He
hates ice cream, cotton candy. What kind of world are
you living in? How could you attack an American Christmas
classic and Pooh Pooh the movie because you don't like it?
And then you have the nerve to mention the Muppets
(31:40):
that he loves some Muppets Christmas movie. They're not even real.
I mean, are you kidding me? Come on, Chris, you
gotta be better than this. That was literally my point.
I was about to say he lost all krillly bitterly
talking about Muppets.

way tire buying should be. And Rob G already this
(34:10):
talk right, there's a story out there about maybe the
college football Playoff looking into overhauling the playoff format.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
That's correct, that was before today already Texas Classic and
we got a good game.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
We had a great game earlier today.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
But according to Brett mc murphy, longtime and if a
custable insider now, actually the Action Network in the wake
of the first round of games, which will.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
All blow out what was it average.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Averaging nineteen points per game average nineteen Yeah, we talked about,
I mean, it's not twelve teams this year that were
really deserving of it anyway. Well, and then we just
had right now, the number one team in the nation
get blown out by twenty yes, right, they were undefeated.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Oh, I thought they were undefa Oregon.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
According to Brett McMurphy, the powers that be on the
committee were so dumbfounded and upset that these schools like
Boise State, they were assuming Arizona State, these lower level
power five conferences, power five teams, we're not going to
put up a good fight and put up a good
(35:16):
television program.
Speaker 10 (35:18):
So they're already considering.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
For the twenty what is now twenty twenty five seen
twenty twenty six college Fotball Playoff, considering a change in
the format that would ensure that the top four seeds
that get a bye would only be based on your
college football Playoff ranking. Right now, it's whoever wins these
conferences automatically gets the first round by. So they would
(35:42):
want to switch it up so that in a situation
where they say, hey, Ohio State's better than Arizona State,
will say Ohio State will get a first round by
instead of Arizona State, whether or not they win their conference.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Ooh, that's interesting. What do you think about that, Roberts?
It's too much like I got a headache, Like.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
They're not gonna go backwards right and make it eight
teams would probably be more realistic than twelve after this,
after watching all this, and the biggest thing is you
can be thirteen and zero and another school, Ohio State,
was eleven and two. Right, Yeah, you don't play the
same competition, so you can't really judge. It's hard to
(36:27):
judge how good you really are, like depending on your
schedule and who you're playing.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Ohio State and Oregon in the same conference. They Oregon
beat them early in the year, right, Yeah, But.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I'm just saying with a lot of these other schools,
you know what i mean, Really it's hard to really determine.
Because that was a big argument, like in favor of Alabama.
Alabama's better than these other schools, have a better record,
but then they weren't. They weren't, right, and then lose
to an undermanned Michigan that had a bad year except
(36:59):
for the last two games they beat Ohio State, and
then they beat Alabama somehow, some way because they really
had a bad year.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, they had no offense at all. They had a
good defense, I mean, you know they're gonna be solid there,
but had no business beating Ohio State at Alabama.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
No, no, no, And that was and then to see
Ohio State roll over Oregon.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Like this funny somebody on Twitter when I picked Ohio
State minus two and a half, they were like, oh,
Oregon wins this game. By twenty I.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Picked Ohio State too, Yeah, out of Oregon by twenty
I was like, what are you watching?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, so I don't know. I mean they're gonna make
some changes, the real changes will never happen, which is
reducing the field to me. Yeah, yeah, like that's how
you try to get the best. And even when they
had the four teams, rob g right, all right, they
if they could do sixty four teams like or sixty
eight right with college basketball, they would do it if
(37:56):
they could get away with it and get people to
buy tickets. But god, we can't get twelve teams. We
can't get eight good teams.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Yeah, you can't do the receiving thing where if the
team like Ohio State, if it's on the state, if
everyon's on the state wins their division, they get they
should get they should get it.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Right, you gotta make the regular season worse somehow. Correct. Yeah,
So I'm not buying it. All right.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Our number three of the program is coming up, Kyle Shanahan.
We're gonna talk about him. He's coming back, but whether
she should be coming back really and what he's done there.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
It is the odd couple, Stick and State America
